Gu Xuan's eyes carried some sympathy as well. He could imagine Ji Shenhai's feelings, back then, Ji Shenhai was already the The Top Expert of the world and definitely number one. No one on the continent could match him.
However, there would always be a day when the Monarch Stage Martial Cultivator s ran out of Life Span. In order to transcend them, Ji Shenhai went deeper into the heart of the Flame Beast mountain range, looking for that sliver of hope to break through Saint Stage.
However, he never expected that after breaking through the Saint Stage, he would actually be trapped here, and slowly age down. The endless years of torture he had with a Peerless Expert was truly a little terrifying.
Even Gu Xuan suspected that if he were in Ye Kong's place, he would not be able to sit still for a thousand years like Ji Shenhai.
"In these thousand years, did no one discover senior?" Gu Xuan asked.
"Of course. Before this, I would have sent a message to every single Martial Cultivator in the Monarch Stage to look forward to their arrival. It's just that these people are just too cautious!"
Ji Shenhai scoffed, "This place was once the innermost region of the Flame Beast mountain range, and possessed the most powerful Flame Beast. These Flame Beast were all killed by me a thousand years ago, and this group of trash actually didn't dare to come over.
"That's true." Gu Xuan nodded his head. In terms of Burning Heaven Continent, one's Monarch Stage was already the peak of existence.
The most important thing for such a character to enjoy was to enjoy his status and position. He had long since lost the will to advance.
With a choice in front of them, if they were in danger, they could be killed immediately. If it was a lucky chance, it might not be of much help to them and might even bring them some trouble.
If Gu Xuan was still in the Monarch Stage now, he might not have chosen to come here.
As for the ordinary Martial Cultivator, they were even more afraid to come. Although there weren't any strong Flame Beast here, it was, after all, the deepest region of the Flame Beast Mountain Range, and ordinary people didn't want to come here to die.
Only a wondrous sect like the Ying Tian Sect, which had their sect located at such a long distance from the Flame Devil Ancient Mansion Transfer Array, would be able to cross over a large area of the Flame Beast mountain range and touch the edge that Ji Shenhai could feel it.
In the end, Ying Tian Sect's establishment of a sect could not be separated from Gu Xuan. But now, it had instead allowed Gu Xuan to benefit from it.
"However, my realm is Peak Emperor Level. Why would Senior choose me? Isn't it just summoning the Monarch Stage Martial Cultivator? " Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows again and asked.
"A few hundred years ago." Ji Shenhai snorted, "The Monarch Stage Martial Cultivator that I summoned before did not all fail to respond to me, in the span of a few hundred years, he had at least summoned dozens of them, and finally one of them came to me, but he was completely befuddled by the situation. He saw that I was not far from death, and wanted to control me, in order to obtain the secret of Monarch Stage, but unfortunately, he had underestimated the power of Saint Stage, and was killed by me in one move."
Ji Shenhai paused for a moment, then sighed: "It's just that it's difficult to recover my strength at all, even though I killed him, it took me a hundred years of Life Span to kill it just this once. If there were more people here, I could have killed him, but the Life Span would have slowly been exhausted as well, so from then on, whenever a Monarch Stage Martial Cultivator came, I would think of ways to expel them.
It was no wonder that Ji Shenhai did not directly state his intentions after receiving the reaction from him earlier. He only said the word "okay" at the end, and it seemed that he did not want to use too much Saint Level, so he had exhausted his Life Span.
"In that case, why are you trapped here, and why have you summoned me here? Could it be that I can help you?" Gu Xuan asked with some doubt.
"That's right, I want you to help me." Ji Shenhai nodded, his eyes filled with anticipation, "You don't need to know why I'm trapped here, but you can indeed help me."
"Please speak, Senior." A fiery passion flashed across Gu Xuan's eyes. This was a Saint Stage Expert, a Peerless Expert that he could only look up to at his peak.
If he could make this kind of expert owe him such a huge favor, once he was free, then …
"In this world, there is no one else who can help me. There is only that great being!" Ji Shenhai's eyes revealed traces of reverence.
"A great being?" Gu Xuan's heart trembled. Ji Shenhai was already a Saint Stage, a great existence from his words?
What level of existence was that, could it be an expert from the Saint Stage?
Ji Shenhai's eyes were filled with seriousness: "That's right, when I first reached Peak Monarch Stage, I already felt this great existence, and at that time I already felt that his strength was not below mine, but I didn't expect, that after I stepped into the Saint Stage, I finally understood, that his strength is thousands of times greater than mine!"
Gu Xuan held his breath. A Saint Stage Expert like Ji Shenhai was already an inconceivable existence in his eyes, but there was actually still someone who was thousands or tens of thousands of times stronger than him. Although there was a high possibility that it was an exaggeration, it was still terrifying enough.
This great being is a strange person. Every year, he would take the examination to become a Zong Emperor or even an Emperor Realm martial artist. When he said that he was going to select disciples, everyone would think he was crazy. He even boasted of choosing disciples from the Emperor Realm and giving him a nickname …
"Demented Old Man?" Gu Xuan blurted out.
"So you've heard of it too." Ji Shenhai looked at Gu Xuan with a profound look.
"I have heard of the great name of the Demented Old Man." Gu Xuan nodded his head, but a storm was raging in his heart.
This Demented Old Man had also once investigated Gu Xuan, saying that Gu Xuan's talent was not bad, and could be his honorary disciple.
As the strength displayed by the Demented Old Man was only at the level of a One Star Emperor, Gu Xuan did not put him in his eyes at all. He thought that the Demented Old Man was really insane, to the point of looking down on others, and was even kicked out by Gu Xuan.
Who would have thought that they would find out from Ji Shenhai that this Demented Old Man was actually a supreme existence that far surpassed ordinary Saint Stage.
This is really …
Gu Xuan initially thought that this Demented Old Man would humiliate him, or that he would go against the heavens and kill the Emperor out of anger. Now, he was glad that he did not do so.
"Since you know, then I don't need to introduce you anymore. I'm just asking you to go beg that Demented Old Man!" Ji Shenhai said seriously, "If you become his disciple, even if you are just an honorary disciple, you can make a request of him. I hope that you can beg him to save me, because only someone with his strength can free me!"
"Senior, since you have such confidence in me, what if I am not able to enter the Demented Old Man's eyes?" Gu Xuan asked again, "And the Demented Old Man's request is probably not ordinary either, what if I am unwilling to use it to save senior?"
Hearing Gu Xuan's straightforward reply, Ji Shenhai actually smiled. "You're interesting, to think that you can consider me for a moment, but you don't have to worry about any of this. Ever since I started attracting the Emperor Level Martial Cultivator, there have been seventy-three people coming over, and you're the seventy-fourth person."
"Ugh …"
Gu Xuan slightly blushed with shame. He originally thought that he was the only one, but now it seemed that he had been thinking too much.
But it was also normal, Monarch Stage Martial Cultivator had already reached the peak of the continent, he possessed everything he wanted, and he placed an incomparable importance on his own life.
Although the Emperor Level Martial Cultivator was also a top existence in the continent, there were still tens of thousands of them, and they could only be considered to be people of the second level. Many people would be willing to take a gamble when facing opportunities.
"As for what you said, you are not willing to use this request to save me, so how could I not consider it after a thousand years? Naturally, I will not let you help me for nothing, I will give you a great opportunity, once you rise in the future and really fall for the Demented Old Man, if you do not use this request to help me, your heart of martial arts will be damaged."
Ji Shenhai laughed and said, "A genius like you wouldn't destroy your own heart of martial arts just for a single request, right? Thus, after obtaining my benefits, my whereabouts will not be exposed, and I will not be afraid of you disrespecting me. As for the evildoers, I will directly kill them. "
"That won't be the case. If I lose my heart of martial arts, then no matter how many lucky chances I have, they will all be useless." Gu Xuan nodded.
The first is that I will help you fill your body with Saint Stage. I can directly help you recover to King Level, the second is that I will use the power of Saint Stage to help you build a firm foundation, so you can choose. "" Okay. Ji Shenhai said.
"I choose the second option." Gu Xuan said straightforwardly.
Gu Xuan was not worried about levelling up now, he was more concerned about the basics. His basics were originally incomparably solid, but because his realms were growing too fast, it caused his basics to be unable to keep up.
If Saint Stage Expert helped him to perfect his foundation, then as long as he obtained enough resources in the future, he could continue to break through. This would be a hundred times more worthwhile than simply breaking through to the King Level in one go!
"Very well, you indeed did not disappoint me. Honestly speaking, although the other seventy-three people are normal Emperor Level Martial Cultivator, I still have high hopes for you!" Ji Shenhai's eyes lit up as he said excitedly.
Gu Xuan laughed and did not display too much. His talent in his previous life was enough to make the Demented Old Man think highly of him, and he wanted to be accepted as an honorary disciple. Now that he had obtained a Highest Flame and cultivated anew for a lifetime, it would be strange if the Demented Old Man did not take a fancy to him again.
"Alright, I will overdo it and give you a sliver of my Saint Stage right now. This sliver of strength will consume my Life Span for a year, and others will only give them the equivalent of a month's worth of strength. I'll give you one year, I hope you won't disappoint me!"
Ji Shenhai's voice carried seriousness.
His senses told him that Gu Xuan was the person who had the most hope of allowing him to be reborn, so he was willing to gamble with one year of life to allow Gu Xuan to recover his original strength faster, and enter the eyes of the Demented Old Man.
"Little fellow, you must not disappoint me …"
