Zhu Jiu walked out of the gate of Yuanting Palace and thought that he would be able to freely enter and exit the abyss immediately. He immediately felt as comfortable as the sky is high and birds can fly.
Heading briskly towards the Yuanting Pavilion where you will receive the prize for the first place in the competition!
Yuanting Pavilion is located behind the main hall of Yuanting and is a nine-story attic-style building.
The building is black and gold in color, with a classical and solemn style, making it appear both majestic and somewhat mysterious.
The attic is not very tall. The nine floors together are less than 100 meters. Compared with the miraculous buildings nearly 1,000 meters high that can be seen everywhere on the main peak, it seems a bit small. However, it is one of the most core and important places in the entire Yuanting.
There are countless magic weapons and secret objects displayed inside.
Below the attic is a quiet small square. There is a square red jade stone platform in the square in front of the main entrance of the pavilion. It echoes the ground paved with ink-colored boulders, adhering to the usual solemnity and restrained publicity of Yuanting.
Two old men were sitting next to the stone platform and were playing chess. One of them made Zhu Jiu's eyes light up as he approached, but it was the old monster Yan Yaksha whom he had not seen for a long time.
Yan Yaksha's appearance did not change, but he was frowning strangely with dark green eyebrows. He was obviously addicted to chess. Although he sensed someone approaching, he did not raise his head.
The old man opposite Yan Yaksha was wearing a black robe, with a rosy complexion, a slightly plump figure, and a smile on his face. It was obvious that he had just played a wonderful chess game and was full of joy.
When the old man saw Zhu Jiu, he immediately waved gently. When Zhu Jiu came to his side, he asked in a low voice:
"Are you the disciple who came to collect the treasure? Take out your identity card and let me see."
Zhu Jiu took out his identity jade tag and handed it to the old man respectfully. The old man looked at it carefully and gave it back to Zhu Jiu. He gently waved his hand, indicating that Zhu Jiu could go in.
Zhu Jiu turned around and looked at the dark and dark interior of the attic not far away. After a moment of hesitation, he heard the sinister voice of Yan Yaksha, saying:
"Zhu Jiu, are you going to leave the sect? After I finish playing this game, I want to go back to the corpse god path. You can come with me!"
As soon as Yan Yaksha said these words, Zhu Jiuda felt flattered and quickly responded respectfully.
The rich old man opposite also had a slightly strange look on his face. He glanced at Zhu Jiu twice, obviously a little surprised that Old Monster Yan had such a withdrawn temperament and actually wanted to go with a disciple.
Zhu Jiu saw that Yan Yaksha had no intention of speaking anymore, and was about to walk towards Yuanting Pavilion when Yan Yaksha's voice sounded in his ears again:
"Which floor do you want to enter the treasure pavilion?"
Zhu Jiu's eyes brightened slightly and he replied in a low voice:
"My disciple was lucky enough to win the first place in the competition two years ago. The reward for the first place is that he can enter the fourth level. I wonder if the ancestor has any advice?"
Yan Yaksha nodded slightly, still focusing on the chessboard in front of him, without raising his head, and thought for a moment before replying:
"There seems to be a piece of iron on the fourth floor that is old and has a dull smell. It's a bit weird. Although I don't know its purpose, it is extremely hard, so it was placed on the fourth floor. If it is a rare thing, there is nothing else worth seeing.
Something."
After saying that, he waved his hand gently, Zhu Jiuruo realized something, turned around and walked quickly into the open door of the treasure pavilion.
As soon as I entered the door, the jade identity card in my hand immediately shone brightly, and the scenery in front of me was blurry, and I felt like the world was spinning.
When he felt down to earth again, Zhu Jiu looked around and saw that the scenery had changed drastically. It seemed that Baoge had independently teleported Zhu Jiu to the fourth floor through the information in the identity tag.
The appearance of this four-story attic was beyond Zhu Jiu's expectation. It looked like the chaos of the beginning of the world and the creation of all things.
Zhu Jiu's eyes were covered with mist. Shouldn't this place be full of treasures and filled with strange lights?
Looking around, you can see that the ground beneath your feet is thick soil, and there is even a slight air current and breeze blowing through it. The fourth floor of the treasure pavilion seems to have a real miniature world sealed in it, which is surprising and amazing!
When Zhu Jiu was wondering, there was a rumbling sound in the sky and the earth in front of him. The clouds and mist around him dispersed, and a giant with a height of 100 feet, his feet on the earth and his hands raised to the sky appeared in front of him, which was quite surprising.
The giant who looked like a god and demon suddenly opened his palm, and Zhu Jiu Shen couldn't help but fly into the giant's palm.
Then an unknown consciousness rushed into Zhu Jiu's mind. This mass of consciousness was colored in five colors. There was a simple stone platform in the colorful light, and there were thousands of treasures rotating on the platform.
Whether it is the style or the vast aura of power, these treasures are something Zhu Jiu has never seen before, and they are so gorgeous that they blind people's eyes.
Zhu Jiu always guarded the mourning platform to avoid being confused by the thousands of treasures. It was not until a piece of ordinary, breathless iron came to his eyes that Zhu Jiu raised his hand like lightning and grabbed it.
Then the world spun and everything in front of him disappeared. Zhu Jiu opened his eyes and was instantly back on the first floor of the treasure pavilion. Everything just now seemed like a dream.
He lowered his head and looked at the iron block in his hand. The iron block was green-black in color, less than the size of a palm, and about the thickness of a finger. It had a smooth surface and was shaking gently. There seemed to be some sound of water flowing from the iron block, but there was no other abnormality.
After putting away the iron block, Zhu Jiu turned around and walked out of the treasure pavilion gate. Yan Yaksha and the rich old man were cleaning up the chessboard.
The two of them sensed that Zhu Jiu was coming out, and both looked at Zhu Jiu. The rich old man showed admiration on his face and said:
"Hey, this guy is pretty good. He came out of the Mysterious Realm of Ten Thousand Treasures so quickly, which shows how strong his mind is!"
Yan Yaksha looked at Zhu Jiu, motioned for him to come over, and waved gently to the sky. A cloud stood high in the sky and quickly fell down to Yan Yaksha's feet.
Yan Yaksha's cloud-calling technique looks easy and simple, but it is by no means as easy as it appears. The illegal power is so deep that it can never be so easy to follow the instructions!
Zhu Jiu then followed Yan Yaksha and stepped onto the clouds. The white clouds felt soft to the touch, but they could lift heavy objects. It was very stable to stand on them.
Yan Yaksha gently waved his sleeves, and the white clouds immediately lifted off the ground and took off into the sky.
Seeing the main peak of Yuanting getting farther and farther below their feet, the cloud carried the two of them straight up, quickly passing through the layer of mist that always filled the sky above the abyss.
Yan Yaksha never spoke, and Zhu Jiubian didn't say much. The cloud flew higher and higher, and it actually seemed to go straight to the sky.
When a dazzling ray of sunlight jumped into his eyes, Zhu Jiu squinted his eyes slightly, knowing that he had reached above the clouds. The wind suddenly became fierce as he went up, but Zhu Jiu's expression remained unchanged, always standing as tall as a mountain.
Yan Yaksha finally spoke slowly and said:
"More than two years ago, you helped me win the gambling battle with the disciples of the Sky Tower and the Immortal Buddha Temple, and I unexpectedly got an extra Soul-Residing Pearl. It was of great use to me, so I thought of bringing you here.
In these nine heavens, let's see what your chances are."
Zhu Jiu looked solemn and immediately thanked him respectfully. Yan Yaksha shook his head gently and said:
"You don't have to thank me. Further up is the Nine Heavens Gangfeng Layer, and above the Gangfeng Layer is the Thunder Electric Domain Layer. If you want to go to that layer to sacrifice your magic, it depends on you whether you can get any specific benefits.
I don’t want to mess with Karma, so I won’t take action, and you might be in some danger when the time comes.”
Zhu Jiu thought for a moment and said cautiously:
"I am good at the art of expelling thunder and creating lightning. It would be better to go to the Thunder Domain, so I asked my ancestor for help."
Yan Yaksha glanced at Zhu Jiu, chuckled twice, and said:
"The attack of the Thunder Technique is fierce, and it will really help you to start practicing Taoism. I will go to the Thunder Domain to see how you get the chance."
As he spoke, the speed of the clouds under his feet increased sharply, turning into a streak of white lightning and disappearing in the blink of an eye!
