As the monument keeper fell again, this hard battle that lasted from sunrise to sunset finally came to an end.
Chu Tianxiao won the final victory, but he also paid a heavy price to defeat this unexpectedly strong guardian... At that moment, he hurriedly sat cross-legged, took a pill, adjusted his true energy, and then stood up and walked towards the guardian...
At this moment, the guardian of the monument was trapped between a pile of fallen rocks, his face was covered in blood, his hair was in disarray, his left hand was broken, blood was all over the ground, his tendons and veins were a little disordered, and more were severed. The bloody sword was no longer with him. He was in a very miserable state...
Anyone could see that he had no chance of survival.
But at this moment, he regained his previous calmness, not only was there no fear on his face, but... there was a hint of relief, full of peace...
"You win." The guardian of the monument said to Chu Tianxiao in a very calm tone, "Thank you... for setting me free."
As he spoke, he raised his head slightly and looked towards the sky. Then, he smiled knowingly, and there was a hint of distant nostalgia in his voice...
"Jie Zun... you really didn't lie to me. After all these years... I can finally be free... That's great, ahem... That's great!"
The closer he got to the end, the harder it was for him to speak, but at the same time, his joy grew stronger... Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao lowered his eyes slightly and asked curiously, "What is going on..."
"I'm a sinner." The guardian of the monument did not give Chu Tianxiao a chance to ask questions, and slowly shook his head and said, "The Lord of the Realm gave me a chance to atone for my sins. I can't... make mistakes again... and I can't... betray his... trust..."
Although the meaning of the words was unclear, the resolute meaning in them made Chu Tianxiao understand his determination...
Therefore, Chu Tianxiao stopped asking questions.
Regarding this monument keeper who is almost as talented as himself, Chu Tianxiao has no doubt about his pride before he "became the monument keeper".
Seeing this, the keeper showed a look of relief on his face. He coughed up a mouthful of blood and said with difficulty: "After I die... the Heavenly Secret Stele... will appear in the world... You, you should also... know... about the bizarre... thing."
Chu Tianxiao was stunned by the intermittent words he said: "A crazy idea? Didn't I... already do it?"
"Heh... who told you that there is only one such thing?" Upon hearing this, the keeper smiled, then raised his head with great effort. Chu Tianxiao immediately leaned down and heard the keeper whisper in his ear, using his last bit of strength to say a word...
The words were very soft, but to Chu Tianxiao's ears, they were like thunder!
"What!? How... is this possible! This... can't be done!"
Chu Tianxiao subconsciously shook his head frantically, but it was not his fault. It was really because the words said by the keeper were too shocking...
"You... must... do it!" The keeper said with determination in his eyes. Chu Tianxiao was speechless: "... Why would I do such a ridiculous thing?"
The reason why he did the first whimsical thing was just because it happened to coincide with the task requirements of the Big Spendthrift System... Otherwise, why would he take on the task for himself
"You will definitely... do it." The guardian smiled slightly, and the reflection in his eyes seemed to change. At this moment, he seemed to see some "divine secret" and murmured: "So... So that's it! Is it her... The key to this matter is actually her..."
As soon as he finished speaking these inexplicable words, his eyes widened, his whole body trembled, and then his hands fell to the ground, and the last glimmer of light in his eyes disappeared...
The whole body of the monument keeper began to "petrify" at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then at a certain moment, it turned into fine gray dust and dissipated between heaven and earth...
All this happened so fast that Chu Tianxiao was completely confused and felt that everything was in chaos... Shaking his head, he was about to put all these things behind him... But at this moment, the ground suddenly shook violently!
Immediately, the entire Tianji Road began to shake, stone chips flew across the field, dull sounds were heard one after another, and at the same time, one mysterious aura after another emerged!
In just a few breaths, earth-shaking changes took place on the scene!
The night fell at an extremely fast speed, covering the place, making Chu Tianxiao have an illusion, as if everything in front of him fell into darkness, isolated from the world, forming a space of its own!
In this space, up and down, left and right, there are "steles" of different sizes floating, each of which emits a faint light, some like the sun, some like the black moon, and some like stars, like flames... Various lights shine brightly on each other, and the wonders among them are difficult to describe one by one, but they only shock people's hearts and minds, and they want to sink into them when they look at them...
"Are these... all Heavenly Secret Inscriptions?"
Chu Tianxiao, the only "life" in the field, was naturally surprised by this sudden scene. Although the keeper of the stele said that when he died, the moment when the Tianji stele would reappear, the question was... How could there be so many
According to the nature of this crappy system, the Tianji Stele should be a very rare thing, which means... it should be "unique"!
"Hmm... System, analyze for me, what are these?"
Knowing that he might have fallen into the trap of the 'True or False Monkey King', Chu Tianxiao hurriedly called up the system, but to his surprise, the scanned results of every "stele" here were exactly the same... Insufficient permissions!
Seeing this, Chu Tianxiao seemed to understand something. He hurriedly moved closer to take a closer look at the inscriptions, and indeed found that the materials of these things were "problematic"... He saw that some of their "substances" were unknown spiritual jades, some were extremely rare metals, and some were extremely rare black stones in the vast land of China, born from the creation of heaven and earth. The texture of each piece was different, and each contained various mysterious meanings...
In other words, every "stele" here can be called a superior treasure. With the current "level authority" of the Great Prodigal System, it is normal that it cannot scan what they are specifically...
However, the current situation made Chu Tianxiao worried—these things seemed to have their own mysterious restrictions and could not be stored in the Xumi Ring at all. Chu Tianxiao could not ask anyone to come in to help...
What's worse is that he found that the pressure on his shoulders was slowly getting heavier. Although it was unlikely to cause him a burden in the short term, he might not be able to bear it if he stayed for a long time...
In other words... this "final test" has a time limit
So, what to do now... Eh
“… Am I stupid?!”
Suddenly, Chu Tianxiao thought of something and slapped his forehead. Then, he quickly focused his attention on a certain "stele"...
