The old man who has lived for eternity has always been indifferent. There are not many things that can change his expression or things that catch his eye.
This time, his excited expression after seeing the purple gold gourd was completely unexpected.
"Ultimate treasure, is this a treasure?" Zi Chen looked at the old man doubtfully.
The same words will have different effects when spoken by different people. In the past, when Zi Chen was weak, a spiritual weapon was a treasure in his eyes. But now, a pill weapon in his hand is also a treasure.
Just consumables.
Standing at different heights and looking at one thing, the evaluations given are different. But when the old man said the word "treasure", it is enough to prove that this is a real treasure.
"That's right!" The old man nodded, staring at the purple gourd, still very excited, "This is a real treasure!"
After that, the old man seemed to be worried about something and did not continue to explain. Then he rolled up his sleeves and everyone disappeared.
It was like teleporting, and when they appeared again, they were already at the Blackwater Pond.
The old man who arrived at the Black Water Pond had calmed down from his excitement. He looked at Zi Chen again, his expression became much more solemn, and he said seriously: "Zi Chen, can you do me a favor?"
The old man's solemn look startled Zi Chen, and he hurriedly said: "Senior, what do you mean? You have saved my life. If you need me to do anything, just tell me."
The monk was also confused, but he vaguely guessed that it was related to the purple gold gourd. As for the soul-eating rat, it was rare to be silent, but its expression kept changing.
"You should know something about this ancient battlefield. This place is like a cage. The living ancient beasts cannot leave it for the rest of their lives."
Zi Chen nodded, but he was always puzzled and asked: "I heard the Soul-Eating Rat say it, senior, why is this?"
"Because of the rules of the ancient land. This is a place that should have disappeared, but it was forcibly taken back from the void, then refined, and became a place of trial."
The old man's answer surprised both Zi Chen and the monk, their eyes filled with shock. Is this area actually a trial place for man-made refining?
"This ancient battlefield is an independent world." The old man said: "And her appearance is for human trials. Every thousand years, an entrance will appear, allowing you human trialists to come in, and when the time is up,
, the entrance becomes the exit.”
"After you complete the trial and leave successfully, this area will fall into a deep sleep and all things will be silent. All ancient beasts will fall asleep and will only wake up naturally in the next thousand years."
These are the secrets of the ancient battlefield. Zi Chen and the monk kept staring and were shocked. It was obvious that the level of mystery here was far beyond their imagination.
After sleeping for thousands of years, he wakes up naturally. This is something that cannot be explained.
And they finally knew why the Soul-Eating Rat was still so weak despite having lived for ten thousand years, and why it had only left behind a few spiritual crystals over the past ten thousand years. It turned out that they spent most of the time sleeping.
"Under these rules, only humans can come and go freely. In the past, ancient beasts tried to leave through the exit of you humans, but they were all killed by the stone order guarding there. Above the stone order, there are the rules of the ancient battlefield.
It can kill all ancient beasts in an instant."
After hearing about Shi Ling's role, the two of them were surprised again.
The old man looked at Zi Chen and begged: "So, I hope you can take me with you when you leave."
Zi Chen reacted quickly and asked: "Senior, are you talking about the Zijin Gourd? Do you want to hide in the Zijin Gourd to avoid Shi Ling's attack?"
"That's right!" The old man nodded, then looked at Zi Chen and said, "I know nothing about the outside world. If you get out smoothly, you will have nowhere to go. If you don't mind, I can follow you."
Zi Chen and the monk looked at each other, and both saw ecstasy in the other's eyes. If they really took the old man out, they would have found a real backer.
There is a person beside you who can kill the existence of the late stage of Danyuan with just a raise of his hand. Anyone who dares to provoke him will be slapped to death. Just thinking about it makes me feel very cool. In the future chaotic land, as long as the five overlords are not provoked
With their power, they can completely go sideways.
Zi Chen and Monk have already fallen into admiration. This is a good thing that comes to their doorstep for nothing. It is a super Big Mac pie falling from the sky. If they don't agree, they will be struck by lightning.
Under the old man's expectant gaze, Zi Chen nodded repeatedly, "I don't mind, I don't mind, of course I don't mind. As long as the senior is willing to leave, I will be happy to help."
Suddenly, Zi Chen seemed to remember something and asked: "Senior, how many times has this trial place been opened in total over the years?"
"I can't remember exactly, but it must have been a hundred times at least."
One hundred times, once for a thousand years, that is one hundred thousand years, which is a very scary number. When Zi Chen and the monk were shocked, they also lamented the longevity of the old man's life. But when he thought about it, during these one hundred thousand years, the sleeping time was serious.
For more than their waking hours, the two of them felt sad for the old man.
The entrance to the Land of Chaos was only opened tens of thousands of years ago. It seems that the ancient battlefield had always existed before that and lasted for a long time.
Zi Chen frowned slightly and asked: "A hundred times, is it possible that there are no human monks holding something similar to the purple gold gourd, and no ancient beast has successfully left here?"
"Of course there is." The old man said with a smile, "There are many ancient beasts here and they are powerful. Going out means strong combat power. After opening it once, there are humans trying to attack the ancient beasts the second time. But as far as I know, in
In this area, not one ancient beast has successfully left, but they were all noticed by Shi Ling and killed one after another!"
"Killed one after another?"
"Yes! This is the rule of the ancient battlefield. Anyone who breaks the rules will be punished. And there is only one punishment in the ancient battlefield, and that is death!"
"Even humans must die?" Zi Chen looked at the old man.
"Death is certain!" the old man said.
Zi Chen was stunned for a moment, never expecting that such a situation would happen.
"You have to think carefully about this matter. This is a matter of life and death. This ancient battlefield is very strange and the rules are very strict. In the past tens of thousands of years, as far as I know, no less than dozens of ancient beasts have violated the rules and died. And
Correspondingly, dozens of humans with ulterior motives also died." The old man said solemnly.
Zi Chen's brows only wrinkled slightly, then relaxed, took a deep breath and said: "Senior is kind to me, as long as it is the request of senior, Zi Chen will naturally agree, even if it means death! But, why is it me?
?”
The old man was strong, even stronger than the so-called king. If such a strong man wanted to leave, Zi Chen believed that the other party would have at least dozens of opportunities. But the other party gave up the opportunity time and time again, but today he chose him.
"Because your purple gold gourd is very special, it is a real treasure. The space inside is very much like a real world, and it may be able to escape Shi Ling's investigation." The old man said frankly, but he was not sure.
This is a confrontation with the rules of this world. No one has full confidence until they succeed.
Zi Chen didn't feel any hostility from the old man, and the other party also made the strong relationship clear and did not force Zi Chen.
"Then I dare to ask senior, how sure are you?"
"Fifty percent!"
Zi Chen did not hesitate, nodded directly, and solemnly agreed.
It was so pleasant, which surprised the old man, and he couldn't help but feel admiration in his eyes.
This was a bet of life, and it had to be rigorous. Zi Chen's willingness to agree did not mean that he was not afraid of death. He simply took out the purple gourd and handed it to the old man, asking him to study it carefully and see it thoroughly.
Waiting until you understand Zijin Gourd may increase your success rate.
Purple gold gourd, the brilliance flows, the purple light is brilliant. Just looking at the appearance, you can only see that the material is extraordinary, nothing else can be seen. In the inner space, there are mysterious runes flowing, and the original star sand is sealed in it.
in a space.
"I am disowning the master. Seniors can take it and study it carefully." Zi Chen opened his mouth and immediately disowned the master.
Unexpectedly, when the old man heard this, his expression suddenly changed and he stopped him and said: "No, absolutely not. If you are contaminated with my breath, you will lose all confidence."
The stone order represents the rules of the ancient battlefield. It can keenly sense the breath of all ancient beasts, and the old man does not dare to take risks.
Afterwards, the old man asked Zi Chen to talk about the situation inside the purple gold gourd, as well as the purple gold runes and the space inside.
Zi Chen made it very clear, and also said that it had contained star sand before and had sealed thunder and lightning.
The old man nodded repeatedly after hearing this, his expression even more satisfied, and it seemed that his success rate had increased.
"This purple gold gourd should have other effects. You might as well try to refine it again." After pondering for a moment, the old man spoke.
"Can it still be refined?" Zi Chen was a little surprised and was about to try it immediately. But he was stopped by the old man again. He clearly told Zi Chen that even if he could refine it, he would have to wait until he left.
To be cautious, the old man gave up and immediately went in to take a closer look.
"The probability of success is less than 60%. This is a fatal matter. Don't rush to answer it. You can think about it carefully during this period. The whole area is about to be connected. You'd better baptize it first and improve your combat power." The old man said.
.
Zi Chen nodded, immediately put everything behind him, and concentrated on preparing things for the baptism.
Ancient medicine, ancient animal essence and blood have been prepared for a long time. After Zi Chen released the spiritual objects, the preparations were completed.
The spiritual object reappeared, and the soul-eating rat's eyes began to shine. It stared at the spiritual object and drool couldn't help but flow from the corner of its mouth.
"For such a spiritual thing, Zi Chen only needs some essence and blood. The rest is of little use and can be eaten by you." The old man said with a smile.
The Soul-eating Rat was extremely excited when he heard this. It had swallowed a lot of spiritual power before and was almost on the verge of transformation. If it swallowed spiritual objects again, it might be able to transform.
After the preparations were completed, Zi Chen discovered that there was no cauldron containing ancient blood.
"An ordinary cauldron is useless at all. It cannot withstand the energy of ancient blood. You will go directly to the bottom of the pool later." The old man said.
After adjusting his energy and spirit to the best, Zi Chen jumped into the pool and sat cross-legged.
