Ye Xiao had some expectations in his heart when he came to this place. He thought that the God inside must also be a Sky Ghost, however, he was surprised to see that it was actually a human.
Now, the question was, how did a human God come to this place and why was he suppressed here. More importantly, how was he suppressed here? Who suppressed him?
When Ye Xiao asked God to tell him his story, he has a motive in his heart. This God told him to stab a sword in a small crack on the alter.
Who is Ye Xiao?
He is someone who has complete knowledge about formations because of the memories of the Ancient Formation God. The moment he came to this place, he knew the altar has a formation that is usually especially used to trap Gods and suppress them. But there was more to this formation.
This formation actually has another trap and the lock to that trap is the sword in the God's hand. As long as someone took the sword from the God's hand and inserted it into the crack, that God will regain his freedom but the person who helped him would be trapped instead.
How could Ye Xiao not see through such a trap?
The sword was both lock and the key!
This God clearly wanted to use him and regain his freedom. Of course, by trapping his own benefactor.
When Ye Xiao asked the God to tell him who trapped him here and why, the God fell into deep thought for a while, or at least that's what he wanted to show to Ye Xiao.
After a while, he said: "I was once a renowned cultivator, however, everything changed the moment I crossed paths with an old man. He was called Old Wu. I don't really know his full name though."
"I'll not go into detail. You just know that we have some conflict and then he sealed me here. At the same time, he used some methods to put me into a deep slumber. A few weeks ago I woke up for some reason. There is only one way for me to regain my freedom, that is if someone inserts this sword into that crack. Can you do that for me please?"
Ye Xiao smiled and replied: "I could have helped you but... As you already know, if I help you, I'll be trapped instead. So, I won't help you. Moreover, your body is filled with Infernal Energy. I think it is because of the alter. But... no matter what, you have already become a devil from inside. Even if I somehow help you break free of the restriction, you'll immediately turn into a monster that only knows how to reap lives. So, it's better for you to stay here."
Saying this, Ye Xiao was about to turn back and leave this place, but the God hurriedly stopped him: "Stop! Don't go."
This God was really shocked when he heard Ye Xiao saying that he'll be trapped if he helped him regain his freedom. He didn't expect Ye Xiao to be so knowledgeable.
But, he knew he could not let go of Ye Xiao, for Ye Xiao was the only one here and he has to rely on Ye Xiao to escape this damn prison.
"Please, don't go. Here... take it. This is the place where that Old Wu threw my treasures. You can take all those treasures. But please free me!"
Ye Xiao shook his head. He glanced at the map and then burned it with a flick of his finger. But he had already recognized the path.
Then without saying anything, he turned and left that place. No matter how much that God called him or even cursed him, Ye Xiao didn't stop and directly left.
As soon as he flew out of that place, Ye Xiao saw a dozen or so cultivators around.
At this moment, the Mysterious Holy Crystals had attracted these people to come and mine them.
"There's another one who is alone here!"
"I think this kid went deep into the pit to dig for Mysterious Holy Crystals. Kill him and take all the Mysterious Crystals from him!" A cultivator shouted fiercely.
Ye Xiao glanced around and found that these people were the first group of cultivators to be used as cannon fodder. They didn't die and were lucky enough to find this Mysterious Holy Crystal mine.
However, Ye Xiao wasn't in the mood to pay attention to them.
"I'm not in the mood. You guys better not provoke me." Ye Xiao said coldly.
"Haha, you're still pretending? Do you think we don't recognize you?"
"With so many of us here, killing you is as easy as slaughtering a dog!"
Most of the cultivators here were in the Martial Emperor Realm. There were also a few people who has reached the Peak of Martial Emperor Realm and were only a step away from becoming a Martial Saint. Their faces were filled with pride.
They relied on their numbers. If any ordinary Martial Saint encountered them, they might really die at the hands of this group of people.
"Don't talk nonsense with him, just kill him!" A cultivator shouted.
Instantly, countless weapons appeared in these people's hands out of thin air.
Countless flying swords and curved blades unleashed sharp killing intent as they attacked Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao stood where he was, and his heart had sunk to the bottom of the valley.
It was not because these people surrounded him but because he felt extreme anger toward these people.
"Get lost!" Ye Xiao struck out with his palm. A powerful force swept out in all directions, shattering all the weapons instantly.
Ye Xiao attacked without holding anything back. Under the tremendous force of Ye Xiao's attack, all kinds of weapons that were glowing with colourful lights turned into ashes in an instant.
Their attacks could not hurt Ye Xiao at all. In an instant, Ye Xiao had blocked all their attacks.
Puff! Puff!
Many people suffered damage due to the connection between their hearts and the weapons. Some of their soul was also damaged, causing them to vomit blood.
"Impossible! There are so many of us, how can we not even deal with a brat like this? Everyone, don't panic, take out your own trump cards, we must kill him... Eh! Eh!" A cultivator who was standing behind the crowd began to shout.
However, before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly stopped, because Ye Xiao appeared in front of him and grabbed his neck with one hand at some time.
"So noisy!" Ye Xiao clenched his fist. With a cracking sound, that person's neck was broken.
The group of cultivators surrounding Ye Xiao quickly retreated, and fear could be seen in their eyes.
"I'll give you all five minutes of time to get out of my sight. If I see you all again, I'll kill you all!" Ye Xiao shouted coldly. His mood was very bad.
If it was any other time, these people would have died a long time ago.
However, right now Ye Xiao didn't want to deal with these people.
.....
At the location marked on the map Ye Xiao saw before, there was a splendid and magnificent palace. It was actually the center of this city. This place was where the treasures of that God were located.
There were already a few people present at this place All of them were attracted here by the faintly discernible sound coming from the unknown.
"Everyone, this place must be the location of the supreme treasure. Furthermore, don't you feel it? The energy in this area is obviously much thicker. This must be the treasured land," It was Lu Yu who said these words to the people around him.
Waves of dense spiritual energy could be faintly sensed coming from the palace.
Just by absorbing a little bit of the spiritual energy, Lu Yu could feel his body relaxing as if the cultivation level had improved by a lot.
"Look, my spiritual beast!" A cultivator pointed in a direction and shouted.
In the direction he pointed, a rabbit appeared. This rabbit seemed to have suffered some injuries, but after jumping up to the place in front of them, the wounds on its body began to heal quickly.
Even the patterns on the beast's body gradually turned into black stripes. The entire rabbit became several times larger and its aura became even stronger.
"I think there is a secret to immortality here." One of them said, causing everyone's eyes to brim with vigor and inexplicable joy.
Immortality!
This was the goal of all cultivators!
"I'll go first!" Lu Yu couldn't restrain himself any longer and he charged forward with a stride.
The rest of them also rushed in. Although this place was full of danger, it was worth it if they could obtain Immortality.
Lu Yu excitedly stepped into the hall.
"You... are you willing to follow me and achieve immortality?" However, the moment Lu Yu come to this place, a leisurely voice exploded in his mind.
