The border between East Continent and West Continent!
This place is home to an endless mountain range!
In the mountains, one huge peak after another stands like a row of swords, towering into the sky, extremely majestic!
There is an ancient castle on the top of each giant peak. It does not have a splendid aura, but is completely black, appearing ancient and mysterious!
But there is a huge peak with no castle on top, only an ancient stone gate.
“Buzz!”
Suddenly, the dim stone gate burst into a hazy light.
Immediately afterwards, three figures walked out of the stone gate one after another.
The three people were You Mo, Wu Tian, and Ling Chenye.
"Is this the temple?"
Wutan stood outside the portal and looked around.
As far as the eye can see, there are overlapping peaks and lush ancient trees, presenting a vibrant scene.
You Mo pointed forward and said with a smile, "Do you see those two huge peaks? They are the Law Enforcement Hall and the Judgment Hall."
Wutan looked in the direction he was looking and saw two huge peaks standing next to each other in the center of the mountains. The tallest one was tens of thousands of feet high and towering into the sky!
The mountains surrounding the two giant peaks are lower and lower.
You Mo said, "I will introduce the situation of the temple to you later. Come with me to meet the Grand Master first."
"call out!!!"
The three of them transformed into a stream of light and flew towards the top of one of the giant peaks. After a few breaths, they landed on a square.
The square was deserted and silent, but in the center stood a huge ancient castle, as black as ink, like an ancient ferocious beast lurking there, emitting an astonishing aura!
Above the gate of the ancient castle, three large blood-red characters were carved - Judgment Hall!
And above the three bloody characters, there is a bloody skull inlaid, as if it was carved from a devil's skull, releasing a terrifying evil spirit!
You Mo whispered, "I tell you, this skull is not fake."
“It’s not fake?”
Ling Chenye was extremely shocked and suspicious.
There was also a trace of ripples in Wu Tian's eyes.
You Mo said: "It is said that this skull was carved by the first generation of the Holy Lord using the head of a certain Heavenly Lord, but who it was, I am afraid no one knows except the first generation of the Holy Lord."
Wu Tian asked: "The patriarchs of the nine heaven-defying war clans don't know either?"
"They must know, but will they tell us? Definitely not. Ling Chenye, you stay here and wait for us. Remember, don't run around. Fu Chou, follow me in." After You Mo finished speaking, he walked towards the ancient castle. At this moment, his expression became extremely respectful, as if he was on a pilgrimage.
Wutan glanced at the skull and followed him.
Arriving at the gate of the ancient castle, the stone door was tightly closed. You Mo bowed and said, "Grand Palace Master, I have brought Fu Chou here."
At that moment, the stone door opened silently, revealing a large hall. The decoration inside the hall was very simple, but it looked a bit eerie.
The ground was covered with black flooring, as smooth as a mirror.
The four walls and the dozen or so stone pillars inside the hall were also pitch black!
If there weren't two luminous pearls hanging on each stone pillar, this place would definitely be dark as hell!
Actually, this is nothing. The key point is that on each stone pillar, there is a bloody skull carved. Under the faint light, it looks like the heads of living people, extremely creepy!
Wutan took a deep breath and followed You Mo into the hall. The stone door slowly closed.
The moment the stone door was completely closed, Wutan suddenly felt extremely depressed. He even had difficulty breathing, his face turned pale, and he even had the thought of running away!
You Mo quickly noticed Wu Tian's strange appearance and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous. Although the Grand Hall Master's methods are very ruthless, he is actually very kind and easy to get along with."
"That's not right."
Wutan muttered secretly and looked up to the front. On the wall in front of him, there was also a bloody skull carved. Under the skull, there was a white chair. He could tell at a glance that it was carved from bones!
Wutan felt more and more uneasy. This place looked like a purgatory on earth. How could the people living here be kind people
“Swish!”
Suddenly, a light flashed on the bone chair, and a middle-aged man appeared out of thin air.
This person also wore a mask, but his mask was different from Wujitia's. His mask could only cover most of his face.
From the small half of the face that was exposed, Wutan could tell that this was a middle-aged man.
"Greetings to the Grand Palace Master."
You Mo immediately knelt on one knee.
Wu Tian bowed and said, "Fu Chou greets the Grand Hall Master."
The Grand Hall Master seemed not to notice Wu Tian's behavior and said calmly, "You Mo, step aside."
His voice was powerful, with a sense of vicissitudes.
"yes."
You Mo stood up and stood aside with his body straight.
At this time, the Grand Hall Master looked at Wutan and sized him up and down. To be exact, he was examining Wutan.
His eyes were dark and bright, without any desire in them, very lively and sharp. At this moment, Wutan felt as if he was stripped naked, with all the secrets in his heart exposed!
However, Wutan now has no secrets at all and is not afraid of this person's investigation at all.
He was a little nervous because he hadn't seen the real person before, but now that he was really facing this person, he relaxed and looked at the hall master without dodging or avoiding.
After a moment, the Grand Hall Master said, "Fu Chou, do you admit your guilt?"
Wu Tian asked: "Excuse me, what crime have I committed?"
The Grand Hall Master asked, "Didn't You Mo tell you that in front of me, you can only obey without giving reasons?"
Wu Tian said: "You Mo said that, but the Lord wants to punish me, so of course I have to ask for clarification."
"Okay, I will tell you what crime you have committed."
"You didn't kneel when you saw me. This is the first sin."
"You are still wearing a mask in front of me. This is your second sin."
"You destroyed the spiritual vein. This is the third sin."
"You killed innocent people indiscriminately. This is the fourth sin."
"Any one of these four crimes is enough to destroy your soul."
The Grand Hall Master listed four charges against him.
Wu Tian said: "I see, can I explain myself?"
"Can."
The hall master nodded.
"My first sin is that apart from my parents, the people I respect the most, I will not kneel to the heavens, the earth, or anyone else, including you, Grand Hall Master!"
"The second crime is whether to wear a mask or not. It is my freedom. Grand Master, you have no right to interfere."
"The third sin is that many people in this world, in order to cultivate and to achieve their goals, will resort to extreme means. My destruction of the spirit vein is just one of them."
"The fourth sin is to cut the grass without removing the root, which will cause endless troubles. Since we have already formed an enmity, I will naturally cut the grass and remove the root. Moreover, the law of the jungle is the law of survival. I am stronger than them, so I can kill them if I want, without any reason. Excuse me, Grand Hall Master, am I wrong?"
Wutan looked directly at the hall master and spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.
The Grand Hall Master shook his head and smiled, "You are really good at speaking. It is obviously your fault, but after what you said, it seems that all this is justified. However, it is useless in front of me. I can let go of other crimes, but you destroyed the spiritual vein, which is a taboo in the world. If I don't kill you, it will not be enough to calm the anger in the hearts of the people. If I don't kill you, my Judgment Hall will also lose its prestige."
Wu Tian's body and mind tensed up, but his eyes were extremely calm, and his tone was also very calm, he said: "So, the Grand Hall Master finally decided to kill me?"
The Grand Master showed a hint of surprise in his eyes and nodded, "Yes, are you afraid?"
Wu Tian said: "Afraid, of all things in the world, who is not afraid of death?"
The Grand Hall Master asked in confusion: "Then why are you still so calm?"
Wu Tian said: "If the Grand Master really wants to kill me, what else can I do? Resist? Is it useful? Since it is useless, why not accept it calmly? Besides, in my opinion, death is just a brand new beginning, not true extinction."
"Death is just the beginning?"
“Not really dead?”
The Grand Hall Master pondered for a moment, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Wu Tian in surprise, and asked, "Have you already comprehended the mysteries of life and death?"
Wu Tian nodded.
The Grand Hall Master asked, "How much have you understood?"
The Grand Hall Master's tone was quite calm, but Wutan could still hear a hint of urgency in it. He couldn't help but wonder, could this person also be trying to comprehend the mysteries of life and death
"It seems that we need to be careful."
Wu Tian muttered secretly, thought for a while and said: "I only see through the surface, and have not yet realized the inner truth."
But upon hearing this, the Grand Hall Master suddenly stood up and looked at Wutan with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
After a few breaths, he finally realized that he had lost his composure. He slowly returned to his seat and looked at the floor beneath his feet with flickering eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.
The hall fell into deathly silence!
After an unknown amount of time, the Grand Hall Master raised his head and asked, "How many years have you been practicing?"
Wu Tian thought for a moment and said, "I have been practicing since I was sixteen, and it has been almost twenty thousand years until now."
In fact, there is not 20,000 years at all. If you really want to count, it is only 9,000 years at most.
But he felt that it was a bit too exaggerated to cultivate to become a nine-tribulation god in nine thousand years, so he lied and said it took twenty thousand years.
However, despite this, this sentence struck You Mo's mind like a thunderbolt!
The Temple is a concentration camp for geniuses in the Holy Realm. Many peerless geniuses have appeared in history, but the fastest person to cultivate to the level of a Ninth Tribulation God took more than 100,000 years.
But at this moment, Fu Chou said that it only took him 20,000 years to cultivate to become a Nine Tribulations Divine Spirit. Is this true
He seriously doubted it!
Not only was he suspicious, even the Grand Hall Master was suspicious!
Among the nine heaven-defying war clans, every member is an unrivaled evildoer, born with superhuman talents, but until now, no one has been able to step into the realm of the Nine Tribulations God within 20,000 years.
Even the first generation God of War of the Mie Tian War Clan, when he was young, was said to have spent 50,000 years before he became a Nine Tribulations God.
But this little guy in front of me only took 20,000 years. Is it possible
Obviously impossible!
No matter how terrifying his talent is, it is impossible for him to surpass the first generation God of War.
"Fu Chou, I will give you one last chance. Tell me the truth."
The Grand Hall Master had already determined that Wutan was lying, and his eyes became gloomy.
Seeing this, Wutan felt helpless and speechless. He just wanted to keep a low profile, so he made up this white lie, but he didn't expect that it would arouse the suspicion of the Grand Master.
