They carefully bypassed the bright silver puppet guard, passed through the many corridors of the inner hall, and finally arrived at the central hall of the palace.
The hall is very empty, with an altar in the middle. The altar is ten feet high and carved with a large number of mysterious runes. On the top of the altar is an ice coffin made of blue black ice jade.
Looking at the material of the ice coffin, it should be ten thousand years of ice jade. It is not only hard, but also can keep the body indestructible for a long time. Through the thick blue black ice jade, you can even vaguely see a person wearing golden armor lying inside.
figure of a tall friar.
Around the altar, eight abrupt jade-colored dragon pillars were erected. These eight jade-colored dragon pillars were very dazzling.
A golden chain as thick as an arm protruded from each jade dragon pillar, fiercely penetrating the ice coffin, locking the black ice jade coffin to the altar. One of the golden chains even penetrated the hall.
The man's body added a sinister atmosphere to this hall out of thin air.
When Yuwen Zhouyuan saw this ice coffin, he seemed to understand a little.
The mysterious pressure he felt when entering the palace came from this ice coffin.
The figure lying in the ice coffin should be the physical body of Wuya, a high-level cultivator of the True Emperor who dominated the world of Wuya cultivation. Except for the legendary Wuya, no one is qualified to lie in this ten thousand-year-old mysterious ice jade coffin.
inside.
Yu Wen Zhouyuan couldn't help but feel shocked. This Wu Ya had already died, but this indestructible body could still exude such a suffocating aura, which was incredible.
However, Yuwen Zhouyuan is still a little confused. Everything in this hall can be seen at a glance. Except for the extremely valuable ice coffin, there is no spiritual treasure.
What on earth are Li Zhanqiang, Yu Haiqing and other high-level Zhenyuan monks doing here? Do they want to take away the ice coffin?
Even if they have this idea, they must have the ability to break the golden chain. He doesn't think that they have the ability to break the golden chain created by this secret technique.
If this ice coffin could be taken away so easily, it would have been taken away by the predecessors long ago, and it would not be their turn to do it. Obviously, they came to Wuya Palace not for this ice coffin. So what do they want to do?
Yuwen Zhouyuan carefully looked at the situation around the hall.
The middle of the hall is very empty. Except for an altar, an ice coffin, and eight jade-colored dragon pillars with chains, there is nothing else extra.
However, there is a row of steps at the back of the hall. Going up the steps is an inlaid throne, with a golden puppet guard sitting on the throne.
This golden puppet guard is only as tall as a normal man. He wears a sword on his waist and sits majestically with his eyes closed, without any movement.
When Yuwen Zhouyuan saw the golden puppet guard on the throne on one side of the hall, his pupils shrank sharply. Then Yuwen Zhouyuan was stunned for a moment, relaxed his tense nerves, and laughed at himself: "They are all broken.
It’s a useless puppet that won’t move, so there’s nothing to worry about.”
Yuwen Zhouyuan turned around and looked at the altar again, but there was an uneasiness in his heart that he could not get rid of.
The monks stood respectfully under the altar, looking up at the ice coffin on the altar and the boundless body in the ice coffin, with complicated expressions.
True Emperor monks, in the world of immortal cultivation such as Dongyang, Fengyun Continent, the land where the sun never sets, and Sanjiang, have not seen such an unrivaled immortal cultivator for a long, long time. Even if they are dreaming, they do not dare to expect that one day.
, he can become a true emperor monk.
In fact, the only small extravagant wish they dare to have is to become a real monk. Even such a small extravagant wish may not be achieved after one or two hundred years of hard work and even risking their lives.
.
When such a physical body of a True Emperor cultivator appeared in front of their eyes, one can imagine the complicated feelings in their hearts.
Reverence, envy, hatred... these complex emotions were swirling around in their minds, and finally turned into a sigh. They didn't know what kind of talent and opportunity it took to become a true emperor monk.
There was silence in the hall for a while, and the surrounding area was unusually quiet.
"You are here..." A buzzing metallic voice echoed abruptly in the palace hall.
The monks were startled and looked around. Their eyes stayed on the steps to the north. They heard that the voice came from the throne on the steps to the north of the hall. They saw the golden puppet guard sitting on the throne, the golden helmet moving.
It moved. I don't know why, but the ruby red on its eyes lit up, giving off a flash of light.
"Junior Li Zhanqiang, leader of the Dongyang Sect of Wuya Cultivation World and True Yuan Dzogchen cultivator, pays homage to His Majesty Wuya!" Li Zhanqiang showed joy on his face, prostrated himself on the ground with great respect, kowtowed to the golden puppet guard, and said.
Li Zhanqiang's words "Sir Wuya" almost shocked Yuwen Zhouyuan and several other Zhenyuan monks who came to Wuya Palace for the first time. They were so shocked that Zhenhuang monk Wuya was still alive?!
Yu Haiqing and other senior monks who had been to this Wuya Palace True Yuan cultivator were not surprised. Instead, they followed Li Zhanqiang and fell to the ground one by one.
"Junior Wuya is cultivating in seclusion in the Immortal Realm. Zhenyuan Dzogchen monk Yu Haiqing pays homage to His Majesty Wuya."
"The junior Wuya Immortal Realm Zhengyuan Sect, Hong Zhengzhi, a ninth-level cultivator of Zhenyuan, pays homage to His Majesty Wuya."
"Junior Wuya Immortal Realm monk, Hu Renfeng, an eighth-level monk of the True Essence, pays homage to His Majesty Wuya."
...
Yuwen Zhouyuan and the other new monks were quite clever. Regardless of whether it was true or false, they quickly kowtowed and reported their names.
In the world of immortality where the strong are respected, it is usually difficult for True Yuan monks to even see real monks. To be summoned by the True Emperor monk is a great honor and... a great opportunity.
Even a real monk is willing to pay any price except his life, just to be summoned by the True Emperor Monk. As long as he can get a small tip from the True Emperor Monk, it will be enough to defeat him for decades or hundreds of years.
of penance.
Yuwen Zhouyuan suddenly understood.
Li Zhanqiang, Yu Haiqing and other high-level monks of Zhenyuan have always been very secretive about the inner palace. They never mentioned the specific conditions of the inner palace on the way here. They passed through the dangerous Jiuyou Land through a passage that was opened once in forty or fifty years.
Fire Restriction, the only real purpose of venturing into Wuya Palace is to meet Wuya and seek that glimmer of opportunity.
Yuwen Zhouyuan was confused and thought about the whole thing quickly, trying to figure out the clues.
The Wuya Immortal Realm was conquered by monks from Dongyang, Fengyun Continent, and the Sun Never Sets. Most of the underground Wuya Palace was also destroyed, and only a small part of the palace was preserved.
Wuya's body was still lying in the ice coffin, so it stands to reason that Wuya had died long ago.
But what is surprising is that the golden guard puppet can make sounds.
This golden puppet guard is a high-level puppet made by Wuya. Except for Wuya himself, it is impossible for anyone else to command and move it.
Wuya should still be alive, at least he can still command the golden puppet guard.
Yuwen Zhouyuan looked at the golden-robed monk lying in the ice coffin on the altar with a strange expression.
"Li Zhanqiang, I remember that you were here last time... Now that you have passed the test of the iron guards in front of the palace again, you have the opportunity to pay tribute to me. What did you bring this time?
I want to present the tribute to the emperor." The golden puppet guard's eyes flashed red, staring at Li Zhanqiang below the hall, and said hummingly.
"Your Majesty Wu Ya, this is a gift from this junior. It contains precious raw materials that this junior has carefully collected for more than 40 years, including five thousand-year-old Mysterious Mother Iron Crystals, a thousand-year-old Chicken Blood Spirit Stone, and ten rare Mysterious Green Vermilion Stones.
fruit, a piece of Poria cocos that is 3,000 years old,... and ten pieces of middle-grade spiritual stones of each series."
After receiving the inquiry from the golden puppet guard, Li Zhanqiang quickly took out a large storage bag from his arms and held it up with both hands.
The other monks next to him looked at Li Zhanqiang in surprise.
The total value of these items donated by Li Zhanqiang is at least more than 500,000 low-grade spiritual stones, which is of extraordinary value. Ordinary Zhenyuan monks would not be able to collect even a small part of these items in their lifetime. But Li Zhanqiang wants to
Dedicate them all to Wuya.
But as long as they think about the purpose of Li Zhanqiang coming here - to break through the real person bottleneck, they feel relieved. Compared with the real person's road, this tribute is not too much.
If these tributes can be used to form elixirs, I'm afraid any cultivating sect will rush to send countless treasures here.
The golden puppet guard took the big storage bag with a move of his hand, opened it, took out one of the Mysterious Mother Iron Crystals and took a casual look at it. He seemed quite satisfied, put it away, and looked at Li Zhanqiang with a cold red light.
"Then what do you want from me?" the golden puppet guard asked.
"Cultivation Pill!" Li Zhanqiang's face glowed red, he was extremely excited, and his voice trembled.
The Cultivation Pill is the best auxiliary elixir for breaking through the bottleneck in the real person stage. It is more than ten times stronger than the real person pill. If the opportunity is not so bad, you will basically advance to the real person stage by taking one.
Although the real person pill is called the real person pill, it can only increase the chance of advancing to the real person stage by up to 30%.
Although there are not many immortal elixirs in the world, there are still some. They are just a bit more expensive, but there are always opportunities to buy them in the market. Yuwen Zhouyuan currently has two in his hand, but this human cultivation elixir cannot be bought.
It is a legendary elixir!
This is all the wealth that Li Zhanqiang can offer, and it is also where all his hopes lie. The last time he came here, he missed a chance because he did not bring enough tribute.
As a True Essence cultivator, he now has more than 170 years of life. In about thirty years, his lifespan will be exhausted.
If he is still unable to advance to the level of a real person without the cultivating pill in the past thirty years, then he is not far away from death. He can no longer wait until the next Wuya Palace is opened to pay tribute. In other words, this is his only
A chance to obtain it. Only by forming a pill can his lifespan be greatly extended by more than three hundred years.
The golden puppet guard shook his head and said: "I don't have the Cultivation Pill here. Refining the Cultivation Pill requires elixirs that are extremely difficult to obtain. This requires an alchemy master. It is impossible to have these in the underground Wuya Palace.
Besides, you can’t exchange this bag of wealth for even one pill of cultivation.”
Li Zhanqiang's face turned pale for an instant, and his eyes were as pale as snow, filled with despair.
He had spent the past forty or fifty years working hard to collect enough possessions just to get that glimmer of opportunity in Wuya Palace, but this last glimmer of hope was shattered.
