Chapter 268 - Chapter 268: 268 Four Questions (Third Update Seeking Monthly Pass) (2/2)
Gu Yang noted it down.
However, there’s one prerequisite to open the entrance to Penglai Heaven, you must reach the Unleaking Realm. Only then will you possess enough power to break the ancient prohibition.
“The third question, the weakness of Saint Chao Yang.”
As Gu Yang spoke, a divine ape apparition, flew out from his forehead and fell into the giant cauldron.
The giant cauldron lit up with a golden hue.
The skeleton spoke, “She is already nearing the Hollow Void Realm, she just can’t break through because she’s limited by this world. Even if I gave you a Spirit-treasure Flying Sword, you still couldn’t defeat her. Stay in the palace, do not leave, only then can you ensure your safety.”
“When you reach the Celestial Being Realm someday, she will be beneath your notice. You will be her weak point.”
Gu Yang felt a bit ripped off, how was this any different from not having an answer?
However, he had benefitted from the previous question. When weighed together, it seemed he had neither lost out nor gained anything.
“The fourth question, how to heal the Dean of the Literature Institute?”
From Gu Yang’s brow, a phoenix apparition flew out and descended into the giant cauldron.
The Dean of the Literature Institute was the most influential person he was able to ask for help. As long as this person existed, there was no need to worry about problems from his enemy in Alight Heaven.
Including Luo Wang, with these two, whether it was the Three Saints Gate, Alight Heaven, or Star Luo Sect in the future, none could easily attack Divine City.
The situation of the whole world would be entirely different.
That was why he was willing to use a precious question for this.
The desiccated corpse said, “Within the land of Paradise Heaven, there exists a millennium-aged Green Lotus; taking one of its seeds could fully heal his injuries.”
Gu Yang asked, “And where is Paradise Heaven?”
At this time, Su Ningyan at the side interjected, “That’s the name of the world where the Three Saints Gate is located.”
Understanding dawned on Gu Yang. So, that’s how it was.
The desiccated corpse said, “That’s it for today; it’s always good to see fresh faces.” After finishing its speech, it burrowed into the ground and disappeared.
Gu Yang and Su Ningyan didn’t breathe easy until they left the underground and returned to the surface, resealing the well behind them.
Confronting such an inscrutable character was too stressful.
Gu Yang asked in a quiet voice, “Who exactly is that person, really?”
Su Ningyan shook her head, “I do not know either, but according to our ancestors, this person has quite likely been deep underground since the time of the Xia Dynasty. As for how long he has stayed underground, nobody knows.”
In essence, a mysterious old creature who has lived for an unknown number of years and knows countless secrets.
Gu Yang remembered the mysterious old man he had met at Dragon Gate Island and in the Yellow Springs. Perhaps he knew something about the mysterious person underground.
If they met again in the future, he may as well ask.
His impression of the old man was quite favorable; every time they met, he had been of service and had never treated him unfairly.
On the other hand, the underground creature seemed very sinister and didn’t resemble a good person at all.
At this point, Su Ningyan finally couldn’t hold back and said, “You lost four divine beast apparitions, the cost you paid was too high.”
“It doesn’t matter, I can cultivate them back quickly.”
Gu Yang said nonchalantly.
If it hadn’t been for the concern of annoying that creature underground, he would have been able to restore his four divine beast apparitions while underground.
Just before entering the palace, he had completed a simulation, and the reward hadn’t been claimed yet.
After leaving the underground suite arranged for him by Su Ningyan, Gu Yang opened the system.
[Simulation Over, you can choose to keep one of the following.]
[One, your Martial Arts realm at the age of thirty-six.]
[Two, your Martial Arts experience at the age of thirty-six.]
[Three, your life wisdom at the age of thirty-six.]
“I pick number one.”
In an instant, Gu Yang felt the essence of the four divine beast apparitions rushing back to him.
That was why he was willing to exchange divine beast apparitions for the chance to ask questions.
He was not a fool; why would he exchange divine beast apparitions that he had spent so much time cultivating, just for a few answers?
