Hearing what Flame-Devouring Suanni said, Ye Li was stunned and looked a little embarrassed, because not only had he never seen the Jinshan Sect, he had never even heard of it.
He also guessed that the Flame Devouring Suanni in front of him was probably a creature that existed in ancient times. Since it was a high-level intelligent creature, Ye Li naturally treated it as a human being, and answered respectfully and honestly: "Senior, I am not a disciple of the Jinshan Sect, and I have never heard of this sect.
I am a descendant of a noble family living in Shanhai County near this rune secret land. This rune secret land has been discovered by the noble families in the three cities near us for many years. However, I was the only one trapped here for some special reasons. Finally, I was able to collect ten rune keys to enter the ninth floor of the Rune Tower. "
Upon hearing Ye Li's words, countless complex emotions suddenly surged in the originally peaceful eyes of the Flame-Devouring Suanni, including shock and anger, and finally turned into a roar full of sadness.
"It seems that my guess was correct. Jinshan Sect must have not escaped the disaster after all."
The expression of grief and sadness on the face of the Flame-Devouring Suanni was no different from that of a human. It was the first time that Ye Li had seen such an intelligent animal.
"Senior..."
Ye Li looked at the other person's sad expression and unconsciously wanted to say something to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say.
The Flame-Devouring Suanni seemed to have sensed Ye Li's intentions, and nodded at him kindly, then put away the sad expression on his face and said, "I think you must be full of questions about this place now.
I am also confused about the outside world. How about we both explain it to each other? What do you think?"
Ye Li thought this was the best solution, so he nodded and said, "Senior, what you said is exactly what I want."
Flame-Devouring Suanni said: "Well, ask your questions first."
After thinking for a while, Ye Li said, "Excuse me, Senior, are you really the divine beast Flame-Devouring Suan Ni
What exactly is this place? How can I leave this rune secret place
Also, what kind of sect is Jinshan Sect?"
After hearing Ye Li ask a series of questions, Flame Devouring Suan Ni patiently answered them one by one: "I was indeed the divine beast Flame Devouring Suan Ni, but that was when I was alive.
At that time, I was the guardian beast of Jinshan Sect. Later, I unfortunately died in the process of resisting the invasion of a powerful foreign enemy.
In order to preserve the remnants of my soul, Jin Zhengsan, the then leader of the Jinshan Sect, used the best materials to create this top-grade intermediate talisman, the Liuyanyan Suanlu, and my soul resided in it, becoming the soul of the weapon.
As for this place, it was the trial ground built by Jinshan Sect to train its disciples, and Jinshan Sect was one of the twenty most powerful sects during the period of the Ten Thousand Sects' hegemony. "
Upon hearing what Flame-Devouring Suanni said, Ye Li showed a look of shock on his face.
When the other party mentioned the words "Ten Thousand Sects Fighting for Supremacy", he roughly knew the period of existence of Jinshan Sect, which was at least a thousand years ago.
Because the war among ten thousand sects destroyed almost all the sects, only a small number of sects survived. The whole world entered a period of hegemony among aristocratic families starting a thousand years ago. Most of the forces were no longer sects, but families.
However, the other party did not mention the issue that Ye Li cared about most, which was how to leave here.
“Senior, I wonder if I can still leave this rune secret place. I have been here alone for a month and a half, and the food I brought with me is running out.
After losing the management of Jinshan Sect, this rune secret place can only be opened once every five years, and there is no way I can survive until the rune secret place is opened again after five years. "
As Ye Li spoke, his brows furrowed slightly, and there was some worry in his tone.
After all, it's a matter of life and death, so he can't just not care.
When Shi Yan Suanni heard him emphasize this issue, he was silent for a while, and suddenly seemed to have figured something out, and said: "Forget it, the Jinshan Sect is probably completely extinct, otherwise there wouldn't be so many years without anyone coming here.
If you want to leave here, you must pass my test and then inherit this Liuyanyan Suanlu.
Originally, this test was set up for the future successor of the sect. There are seven kinds of heavenly talismans with attributes for people to inherit. As an outsider, you are not qualified to accept the trial. Even if I don't kill you, I can't let you leave.
But now that the sect has been destroyed, I guess there is no one who can come here to inherit the talisman. You are considered a destined person, so I can make an exception and allow you to accept the test.
It's also thanks to me that you met me. After all, the spirits of the other six inherited talismans were only created by the method of refining instruments. Their intelligence is too low to make judgments outside the rules. If you can't take out the sect's token, they will kill you immediately. "
Hearing what Flame-Devouring Suanni said, Ye Li couldn't help but be overjoyed, and clasped his fists with gratitude and said, "Thank you for your leniency, senior.
I don’t know what you want to know from me, I am willing to answer it for you.”
Flame-Devouring Suanni nodded and said, "I don't know what era it is now. I have been sleeping most of the time here, and I wake up occasionally, so I only know that a long time has passed, but I don't know how long it has been.
What has the outside world become? I wonder if the Divine Emperor Sect, which was once the most powerful, still exists. I died at the hands of the Divine Emperor Sect's great elder. "
When Flame-Devouring Suanni talked about the Divine Emperor Sect, his usually calm demeanor suddenly revealed a strong hatred, his aura surged, and he almost pressed Ye Li to the ground.
It was not until this moment that he realized the horror of the Flame-Devouring Suanni. The power released by the other party was not oppression from any realm, but merely the momentum from the soul.
Just when Ye Li felt that he could not bear the opponent's momentum and was about to be forced to kneel down, the natal talisman in his sea of consciousness suddenly shook violently, and a magnificent momentum as if coming from ancient times emanated from it, instantly shattering the terrifying pressure that the Flame-Devouring Suanni brought to Ye Li.
Ye Li's eyes were crimson purple, as if he had become a different person, with an aura of supreme superiority that looked down upon the world.
The Flame-Devouring Suanni next to him was startled by Ye Li's aura, and instantly woke up from his hatred for his past enemy. He then looked at the young man in front of him with shock.
Feeling that the Flame-Devouring Suanni had withdrawn its oppressive aura, Ye Li's natal talisman vibrated again, and then he also withdrew the primordial aura that had just looked down on the world.
The purple light in Ye Li's eyes dissipated and he returned to his normal state, but his mind was a little confused and he hadn't reacted to what had just happened.
There was a moment of silence between the two sides. Ye Li was still a little dazed, while Flame-Devouring Suanni was looking at Ye Li, thinking seriously about something.
