The eight great venerables and ninety-nine elders bowed and said goodbye, then poured out of the hall one after another.
With a wave of his hand, the people from the two legions, including the Ghosts, were sent into the Star Realm one after another. Only Wutan, the little guy, the Insect King, Cang Zheng, and twelve nervous guardians were left. The originally crowded hall suddenly became empty.
Looking at the expressions of the twelve guardians, Wu Tian shook his head and couldn't help wanting to laugh. He took the gods' right and left hands and said calmly, "Don't be nervous. I kept you here just to ask you to help me do something, and this thing is very simple for you."
"So you're here to get things done. As long as you don't continue to be abused, everything is negotiable." Hearing this, the twelve Dharma protectors wiped their cold sweat and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
What they feared the most was being bullied by the two little beasts, especially the shameless Yuan-Swallowing Frog. It was said that a single soak of the 'Holy Water of the Frog' had angered the Great Elder of the Huoyun Sect, Huoyunzi, to death. This showed that its power was extraordinary!
"If you have anything to say, please give us instructions. We will do our best to obey you."
"It's very simple. Go to the Dragon God Mountains and get me twenty ancient species in the God Transformation Stage. It doesn't matter whether they are dead or alive."
"Dragon God Mountain Range? Ancient relics?"
After hearing these words, the twelve Dharma protectors, who had just put their minds at ease, immediately became worried again. What a joke, going to the Dragon God Mountain Range to get ferocious beasts, and they wanted ancient species in the Divine Transformation Period, this was simply pushing everyone into a fire pit!
As we all know, the Dragon God Mountains are the base camp of ferocious beasts. There are countless beast kings and even quite a few beast emperors. It would be better if they were on the periphery or dispersed. The key is that these ferocious beasts are organized, and the powerful ones are basically in the deep.
The ferocious beasts in the Dragon God Mountains are not undisciplined. On the contrary, like humans, there are countless tribes, large and small. Among them, the ten major demon tribes are the most powerful, ruling the entire Dragon God Mountains. Other ordinary demon tribes almost all follow their leaders.
It can be said that the status of the ten major demon tribes in the Dragon God Mountains is basically the same as that of the Shura Palace in Qinglong Continent.
To capture twenty ancient relics at one time, and also the beast king in the divine transformation period, the only way is to go to these ten demon tribes. However, each of these ten demon tribes is extremely powerful, which is a fact recognized by all the strong men in the five continents.
Normally, even strong men in the Perfection stage would have to be cautious when passing by there, and even strong men in the Half-step Unparalleled stage dare not be too ostentatious. Now, this bastard actually lets them take the initiative to provoke him!
The Dragon God Mountains are a paradise for ferocious beasts, but also a hell for humans. Countless people have entered it before, but only a few have been able to walk out alive. They think they are very strong, but they dare not guarantee that they can escape unscathed!
Moreover, more than fifty years ago, the Demon Emperor Shuntian personally issued a kill order. If this terrifying existence was really still alive, let alone killing its descendants, they would probably have all died before they even got close to the depths.
This was absolutely no joke, this was a gamble with their lives. Countless thoughts instantly flashed through the minds of the twelve Dharma protectors, trying to figure out where the ancient species from the divine transformation period could still exist.
Because they knew that since the Lord of Wutan Palace had given such an order, he must be determined to get it, and they did not dare to go to the Dragon God Mountains, so they could only settle for the second best and look for it somewhere else.
“It seems that the Dragon God Mountain Range is even more terrifying than I imagined.” The expressions of the twelve great protectors fell into Wutan's eyes one by one. With their strength, they were still so afraid of the Dragon God Mountain. It was conceivable that the Dragon God Mountain Range was extremely terrifying.
"The Lord of Wutan Palace is not scary, he is very scary!" The great protector Ye Yi sighed and slowly explained the layout of the Dragon God Mountain Range. The other eleven protectors also interjected from time to time.
"Dragon God Mountain Range... Ten Great Demon Clans..."
"I guess the surviving species such as the Heavenly Dog and the Civet Cat who were killed in the Jueyin ruins must belong to these ten demon tribes. It seems that I have caused a big trouble! However, although the death of Di Tian was caused by the Lord of Shura Palace, if it were not for them, he would not have died like this. This account cannot be ignored." Wutan muttered.
After listening to Ye Yi and others' stories, he had a deeper understanding of the Dragon God Mountains, but there were some things he had to do, even though the other party was as strong as heaven.
The former Yan Sect and Huoyun Sect, and the current Gutuo Temple and the Great Confucian Dynasty, in the eyes of the world, any one of them is an existence that cannot be provoked, but in the end, some were destroyed by him, while others compromised.
To get to where he is today, it’s not just luck that has helped Wu Tian get to where he is today, hard work has also played a big part.
After a moment of silence, Wu Tian said calmly, "It's okay if you don't want to go to the Dragon God Mountains. As long as you find me twenty relic species in the God Transformation Stage within half a month, everything will be fine."
"Yes! I will do my best."
The twelve Dharma protectors were waiting for these words. The ancient relics of the divine transformation period are very rare, but now, except for Beixuan Continent, the other four continents are connected. It is still possible to find twenty relics, it's just a matter of time.
"Go!" Wutan waved his hand.
"Your subordinates will take their leave first!" The twelve Dharma protectors bowed and disappeared without any warning without any movement.
"Haha, the Lord of Wutian Palace has great means! I admire you! I admire you!"
Not long after the twelve Dharma protectors left, a laughing voice was heard in the main hall of the palace, and then a middle-aged man appeared in Wujitia's sight. This man was none other than the Great Venerable.
Wu Tian rolled his eyes and said, "I am now the only bad guy left. Are you satisfied now?"
The Great Venerable did not care about the throne of the Palace Master. He found a chair and sat down. He nodded and said, "I am quite satisfied. Your method is beyond my expectation. But it is worthwhile for you to be a bad guy this time, isn't it?"
"It turns out that the person behind the integration of Shura Palace this time is the Great Venerable." Cang Zheng muttered to himself.
"Stop talking nonsense. Although I control their fate, if I really dare to do anything to them, I'm afraid you will be the first one who won't let me go." Wutan pouted.
"Don't say such harsh words! You are Shishi's brother, and Shishi is my daughter. In a sense, you are half my child. I am always kind to children."
At this point, the Great Venerable's face showed a touch of melancholy: "In fact, in my heart, Di Tian and Ye Tian are both my children. I saved their lives from the Palace Master, and I also raised them to adulthood. Although I don't usually show this feeling, it has always been hidden in my heart. I also know that this day will come sooner or later, but I didn't expect that this day will come sooner than I thought!"
"Tell me honestly, does Di Tian still have a hope of survival?" The Great Venerable stared at Wutan with an aggressive look, which made Wutan's heart tremble.
"This old guy has become stronger again." Wutan complained in his heart. He felt that the Great Venerable might break through to the Unparalleled Stage in a few years. At the same time, he was also glad that he was not his enemy.
Because when facing the Great Venerable, Wutan could feel an invisible oppression from beginning to end. It was like this when he was weak before, and it is still the same now that he has become a powerful man in the Divine Transformation Stage.
“I’m really not sure about this. At the beginning, Huo Qilin only said it was possible, but didn’t say it was certain.” Wu Tian was also a little dazed. Di Tian was one of his few good friends. His character, personality, wisdom, and talent were impeccable. If we talk about perfection, Di Tian deserves it.
"Alas! I just hope he can get through this." The Great Venerable sighed, then shook his head and muttered: "If he is still alive, he will be the best candidate for the chief hall master, and I will be relieved."
"If you hadn't been so foolish back then, you might have been able to retire and enjoy a peaceful life now."
“Maybe!” The Great Venerable stood up, looking a little lonely, walked out of the temple door, and slowly disappeared from Wutan’s sight. The vicissitudes and lonely back made Wutan dazed.
"Everyone has a deep sense of helplessness in their hearts. The helplessness of the Great Venerable is that he is bound by the Shura Palace. What is my helplessness? Is it my grandfather, Yi Yan, or my fate..."
The voice sounded faintly, and the figure on the throne of the hall master disappeared. The hall returned to its former desolation, leaving only the confused words echoing in it, unable to dissipate for a long time.
The Cave of Beasts.
After many years of absence, the Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts is still the same as before, without much change. The round white mysterious object in the sky is shining with bright light, spreading down like moonlight, illuminating this magical little world.
Wutan stood in mid-air, looking down at the land. Memories of the past came flooding back like a tide. He still vaguely remembered the complicated feelings he had when he first entered the Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts.
At that time, he was designated as the target of the palace master's possession, but now he has become the palace master of a branch of Shura Palace. It really proves the old saying that the world is unpredictable!
"Little Emperor, Grandpa Frog feels that this thing is very unusual." The little guy looked at the white mysterious object with his eyes rolling around.
"Nonsense, such a big glowing ball would be really strange if it were an ordinary object." The Insect King rolled his eyes.
"You can just walk around! But don't do anything reckless. If anything goes wrong and the Great Venerable holds you accountable, don't blame me for being disloyal." Wutan gave instructions, and his figure flashed and landed next to a low hill.
To be precise, it is a tomb, Ruchen's tomb.
Decades have passed and there has been no change here. However, today is different from the past. When Wutan landed here, he immediately sensed a very strange aura permeating the world.
After careful sensing, I found that the sound was coming from the low mountain.
"What is it?"
With a slight frown, Wutan walked into the cave. The power of fire surged and condensed into a fireball, floating above his head like a small sun, illuminating the cave like daylight.
"strangeness."
When he saw the scene inside, Wutan muttered in surprise, because he didn't find any traces of ferocious beasts inside, which was obviously very abnormal.
Several decades have passed since the last time I comprehended the ever-changing celestial phenomena here. During this period, the entrance to the cave has been wide open. Logically speaking, a ferocious beast should have come in to visit!
But now Wutan didn’t even see a flying insect or poisonous insect.
"Could it be related to this breath?" Wutan closed his eyes, and his spiritual thoughts extended out, penetrating every corner of the cave. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and the gleam in his eyes flashed, shooting towards a stone bed in the corner.
With a wave of his hand, the stone bed was turned over with a loud bang, and the dust on it was cleared away in the blink of an eye. As the dust disappeared, eight eye-catching large characters suddenly came into view!
"Heaven-destroying battle body! Cemetery of gods and demons!"
