In the thatched cottage, there is abundant spiritual energy and hazy green clouds scattered around, as if you are in a fairyland outside the world.
The ancient defensive formation has been activated, and there is no longer any obstacle to the road ahead. The strong warriors of the Martial Lord can't help but become eager and unable to hold back.
Especially Wei Haoran, who failed to break through the ancient defense formation despite paying a lot of money, was the first to rush forward, trying to enter the thatched cottage.
However, the moment Wei Haoran stepped into the thatched cottage, a vast and unpredictable aura suddenly emerged from the thatched cottage.
"not good!"
When Wei Haoran felt this aura, his expression suddenly changed, and he secretly said that he was too anxious and lost his caution.
Fortunately, the aura in the thatched cottage had no murderous intent, and Wei Haoran staggered back without being injured.
Seeing this scene, the other Martial Lords all had solemn expressions on their faces. It was obvious that although the defense formation of this thatched cottage had been activated, there seemed to be other restrictions within the thatched cottage.
The thatched cottage was filled with green clouds. Looking at it, one could not clearly see what was going on inside. This made several powerful Wujun men present feel itchy and uncomfortable.
Eyes fell on Luo Xiu. He could control the ancient formation restrictions here. Among the people present, he was probably the only one who could enter the thatched cottage.
"I'll try."
Luo Xiu strolled forward. As soon as he reached the door of the thatched cottage, he felt a push preventing him from entering.
He immediately made out the seal that controlled the restriction of the ancient formation here, and the push disappeared instantly, allowing him to step into the thatched cottage.
Seeing Luo Xiu enter the thatched hut, the eyes of the other powerful Martial Lords suddenly flickered, but they did not know how to control the seals restricted by the ancient formations, so they could not enter at all.
This made the moods of several strong warriors go up and down. After all, if there was any treasure in the thatched cottage, they might not be able to find it.
But then I thought about it, the person who had the opportunity to get this treasure was just a young boy who had just entered the realm of King Wu. Although in this small world of the cave, he could kill King Wu by manipulating the restrictions of ancient formations.
But once he leaves here, he is just an ordinary King of Martial Arts.
As a result, the thoughts of several powerful Martial Lords also became different, and they didn't know what they were planning in their hearts.
At the same time, after entering the thatched cottage, Luo Xiu also saw clearly the situation inside the thatched cottage.
There was an antique table placed in the center of the thatched cottage, with a lamp lit on it. The candle flame flickered, flickering, and a pure and powerful soul spread.
"Soul lamp?"
Although he had never seen it before, the pure soul aura allowed Luo Xiu to be sure that the lamp in front of him was the legendary soul lamp!
And on top of the soul lamp, the candle flame is still there, which means that the strong man who lit the soul lamp is not dead yet!
Next to the soul lamp, Luo Xiu also saw a spiritual tablet and wrote: The spiritual tablet of Elder Heixuan!
Regarding Taixuanmen, Luo Xiu had some knowledge from Long Ming. It is said that in ancient times, Taixuanmen was a top force. The leader of the sect was a strong man who surpassed the level of Emperor Wu. Emperor Wu was the elder and Lord Wu was the protector.
, to rule a hundred thousand territories!
Today's Tianwu Kingdom is just a small piece of territory belonging to Taixuan Sect in ancient times.
Judging from the spirit tablet next to the soul lamp, the elder Heixuan mentioned above should be the owner of this small cave world, a powerful elder at the level of the Martial Emperor of the ancient Taixuan Sect!
Buzz!
Suddenly, the weak candlelight on the soul lamp on the table began to beat rhythmically, as if it was alive.
At this moment, an old voice came out from the flickering candlelight of the soul lamp.
"Hello young people of future generations, I am Hei Xuan!"
"really!"
Luo Xiu's eyes were stern, and his first reaction was to retreat quickly, wanting to leave this place.
A powerful Martial Emperor from ancient times, even if he only has a trace of his soul left, is definitely not something he can compete with.
He clearly remembered being snatched away by the powerful Wu Jun twice. If it were not for the Pearl of Life and Death to rely on, he would have ceased to exist.
It's hard for me to contend with Lord Wu seizing his body, let alone a strong man at the level of Emperor Wu?
However, the door of the thatched cottage behind him suddenly closed, and he couldn't open the door again even if he pressed the seal that controlled the formation's restriction.
At this moment, Luo Xiu's dead soul emerged, as if falling into an ice cave.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead as he stared closely at the faint flame flickering on the soul lamp, which was the light of the soul fire.
However, he waited for a moment, but did not feel the impact on his soul consciousness.
"Young man, you don't have to be afraid, I won't take your body away from you." The old voice came out again in the weak candlelight.
This voice was even weaker than before, as if it would dissipate with the wind at any time and cease to exist.
Of course Luo Xiu would not believe what the other party said, so he did not answer and still remained on guard.
"Young man, the fact that you were able to obtain the Black Mysterious Pearl and find it here means that you are destined to me, and you really don't have to worry. With my current extremely weak soul, I simply can't take away your body."
Green Yun was emitted from the flickering candlelight and manifested into the image of an old man with a white beard. His figure was blurry and he looked at Luo Xiu with a smile.
"I wonder what the seniors need the juniors to do?"
Luo Xiu's thoughts turned quickly and he raised his hands and asked. He believed that since the Black Xuanwu Emperor revealed his identity, he must have a purpose.
"Haha, young man, you are very smart, I want to make a deal with you." Emperor Black Xuanwu said with a smile.
"Deal? This junior doesn't understand." Luo Xiu looked confused, but in his heart he was extremely vigilant. If the other party really wanted to seize his life, he would rather fight to the death.
"Young man, do you want to become stronger? To be honest, if I hadn't relied on my Black Mysterious Pearl to control the forbidden power of the ancient formations here, I'm afraid you would have died at the hands of a certain Martial Lord."
Emperor Hei Xuanwu smiled slightly, "However, with my help, let alone a mere Martial Lord, it may not be impossible to aspire to become Martial Emperor, Martial Lord, or even Martial Emperor in the future."
Hearing this, Luo Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "This junior has no ambitions. He knows that his talents and qualifications are limited, so he doesn't expect help from his seniors."
There is no free lunch in the world, and Luo Xiu doesn't think the other party is really that kind.
"Haha, it seems that you are still wary of me, little one."
Emperor Black Xuanwu smiled and said: "Although I only have a weak soul left, I can still tell that you are not very old. You have cultivated to King Wu in your teens. This talent is extraordinary."
generally."
"Moreover, I sensed the coexistence of the two poles of life and death from your body. This almost impossible thing happened to you, which shows that your future achievements will be limitless!"
"In the ancient battle, I should have died. Even if there was a soul lamp to protect my life, I should have been a dead man. I have survived until now, with only a wisp of soul left. If there is no accident, it will disappear in a few decades."
After hearing this, Luo Xiu noticed that the soul breath emitted from the soul lamp was indeed very weak, and he could defeat it with just a casual soul attack.
The reason why he was extremely fearful was because he preconceived the idea that the other party was a being at the level of Emperor Wu, so he was fearful and timid before fighting.
"Now you believe that I am incapable of seizing your body, right?" Emperor Black Xuanwu stared at Luo Xiu and said.
"If you are willing, I can make a deal with you. Before I fell, I used to be the elder of Taixuan Sect and the number one person in formation!"
"With my guidance, not to mention other things, just the formation, you can benefit a lot!"
"Besides, I also have Emperor Wu's cultivation experience and insights, and I can teach them all!"
As soon as Emperor Black Xuanwu opened his mouth, he promised Luo Xiu great benefits.
But Luo Xiu didn't believe it. The greater the benefits the other party gave, the higher the requirements would naturally be. If there were no requirements, then it would be even more sinister.
"Senior, what do you need from me, junior?" Luo Xiu asked.
"Use your body as a carrier to protect my soul from death!" Emperor Black Xuanwu's weak voice seemed to suddenly become sonorous and powerful.
However, Luo Xiu was unmoved. He frowned and said, "I'm afraid this junior will not be able to agree to this condition."
He had already understood what Emperor Black Xuanwu meant, which was to let his soul live in his body. How could Luo Xiu agree to such a thing?
If the other party has any way to seize the house, you will be the real sheep in the tiger's mouth.
"I can swear a great oath from my inner demons, and I will never take away your body or cause harm to you. Otherwise, my soul will fly away and I will never be reincarnated!"
Emperor Black Xuanwu simply took the oath of the inner demon in order to gain Luo Xiu's trust.
Once the inner demon's oath is made, if one violates the oath, it will be fulfilled and he will be punished by the great ways of heaven and earth.
Luo Xiu was quite surprised to see Emperor Black Xuanwu swear the Great Oath of the Inner Demon so simply and neatly, because the Oath of the Inner Demon cannot be broken, and once it is issued, it must be fulfilled.
In the records of history, no one has ever broken the oath of the inner demon and still lived well, and the end of each one was extremely miserable.
Luo Xiu took a deep breath, and the other party swore an oath of inner demons, which indeed made him feel more at ease.
Of course, it is absolutely impossible to completely trust this Black Xuanwu Emperor now.
However, such things as opportunities are inherently risky. An experienced Martial Emperor expert has everything to teach him. Luo Xiu does not want to miss such an opportunity.
"Whoosh!"
The weak flame swaying on the soul lamp slowly floated up, like a firefly, and landed on Luo Xiu's palm.
Immediately afterwards, Luo Xiu felt a breath of soul enter his palm, but this breath was very weak and could not pose any threat to him.
In the blink of an eye, this ray of soul of Emperor Black Xuanwu merged into Luo Xiu's palm.
Luo Xiu raised his palm and looked at it for a long time, but found nothing wrong.
"Senior, what should I do next?" Luo Xiu communicated with his spiritual consciousness and integrated into the soul of Emperor Wu in his left hand.
"In the ancient war, everything was destroyed, leaving only this dilapidated cave world. There is nothing left to take away."
"What about the Black Mysterious Pearl, the Black Mysterious Palace, and the Taixuan Black Gold Mountain?" Luo Xiu asked. These three items are at least ancient spiritual treasures.
"Of course these three things need to be taken away, but you are still unable to control them with your strength. I will teach you the secret to collect the three treasures in a moment," Emperor Black Xuanwu said.
