Chapter 176 Stepping onto the Golden Bridge

Stepping onto the golden bridge, Lu Changsheng instantly saw the palace on the Tianyuan Divine Mountain.

An extremely ancient palace.

The palace was not that luxurious, nor that extraordinary. Overall, it looked somewhat dilapidated, eroded by the years.

But it gave off an indescribable sense of antiquity and extraordinariness.

The black palace was filled with terror, causing people to be afraid involuntarily.

Lu Changsheng sighed, and in order to overcome his fear, he was surrounded by the Three Thousand Great Daos, and all evils could not invade him.

He walked into the palace, knowing that if he wanted to leave, he had to enter the palace.

The golden ape had also told him to enter the palace before, so naturally Lu Changsheng did not waste any words.

Stepping into the palace, Lu Changsheng appeared very calm, and some of the nervousness he had felt before instantly vanished.

The palace was very clean, without any furnishings, and completely empty.

"You've finally come?"

At this moment, an extremely dry voice rang out.

As if it had not spoken for tens of thousands of years.

"Who is calling for me, Changsheng Daoren?"

Lu Changsheng was very calm, and subconsciously continued to act like a ghost.

Mysterious Man: "........"

The other party was silent, seemingly not knowing how to answer.

But after a while, the voice sounded again.

"You don't need to hide it anymore. I know that you are not some Changsheng Daoren. I can see that you have only cultivated for a hundred years. Although you are very strange, and even I can't see through your realm, I am very clear that you are a person of this era."

The voice sounded again, and the other party recognized Lu Changsheng's identity at a glance.

However, Lu Changsheng was not embarrassed.

"Heh, you are the first person to talk to me like this? It seems that I, Changsheng Daoren, have slept for an era, and no one can recognize me anymore."

Since he was going to act, he would act to the end. Lu Changsheng was not afraid.

The latter: "........"

The other party was indeed silent, seemingly unable to believe that there would be such a brazen person in this world. Even after his identity was exposed, he was still pretending. It was truly admirable.

The air became quiet.

For a full incense stick's worth of time.

Finally, the other party sighed helplessly.

"Alright, I'll just pretend you are Changsheng Daoren."

The voice rang out, and Lu Changsheng naturally nodded, but then shook his head again. What do you mean pretend? I am!

What evidence do you have to prove that I am not Changsheng Daoren?

"What do you need my help with?"

Lu Changsheng understood that the other party must be looking for him for something, and with such a gentle attitude, he would definitely not harm him. Otherwise, he would have died thousands of times over. Since the other party needed something from him and would not harm him,

he might as well just pretend to the end.

It would also avoid embarrassment if Yang Ping and the others appeared and recognized his identity.

"I need you... to save... me."

The other party's voice rang out, and it seemed very weak, with some weakness in his speech, like a dying lamp, about to go out.

"Save you? What are the benefits?"

Lu Changsheng was stunned for a moment. He was very familiar with this kind of routine, so he skipped the middle process and directly asked for the benefits.

Clearly, this mysterious man did not expect Lu Changsheng to be so direct. He did not even ask how to save him, or what would happen if he did not save him, but directly asked for the benefits.

"Aren't you going to ask how to save me? What if it is very difficult, and you are unwilling?"

The other party was really curious, and couldn't help but ask this question.

"What's the point of asking? If I say I won't save you, will you let me go? It's better to be direct and save trouble."

Lu Changsheng replied.

It was not that he did not respect the other party, but the other party was mysterious, hiding his head and tail, and he did not even know if it was a primordial spirit. So why should he be so polite?

Besides, if he was unwilling to save him, would the other party forgive him because he was civilized and promoted new customs?

If you are so polite, then forget about this important task. I will send you back to your hometown, yes, yes, walk slowly, hey, don't worry, I will be gentle.

Therefore, when encountering this kind of situation, it is better for everyone to be direct and straightforward, and talk about the rewards first.

Mysterious Man: "........"

The air became quiet again, for another incense stick's worth of time.

"Alright, would you like to hear a story?"

The mysterious man asked again.

"No! Fellow Daoist, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush. I think Fellow Daoist is about the same as me, and has lived for who knows how many years. It's better to be straightforward and save time."

Lu Changsheng shook his head. He was serious, not joking.

Telling stories all day long, telling stories, isn't it just those few stories? What divine-demon war, what extraterritorial powerhouses, what world crisis, is there anything new?

He felt very bored, and wanted to sit down and talk about the rewards.

Mysterious Man: "........"

It could be seen that the other party wanted to say a few words, but in the end, it turned into a sigh.

"Alright, if you save me, I can give you three fortunes."

The other party said this.

"What three fortunes?"

Lu Changsheng became interested.

"The first fortune is the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury. There are three keys to the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury here. If you can enter the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury in the future, these three keys will allow you to obtain three treasures. Are you satisfied?"

As the other party spoke,

three keys slowly appeared in front of Lu Changsheng. These three keys were of different colors and looked very ancient.

They were exactly the same as the keys obtained in the Langya Immortal Realm before, only the colors were different.

"That's it?"

Lu Changsheng was slightly disgusted.

Although the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury sounded very powerful, he had obtained this thing before. What is so precious about something that even the Lower Realm has?

Mysterious Man: "........"

The other party vomited. The Heavenly Emperor's Treasury is something that even Immortal Emperors are crazy about. Every time the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury appears, the strong from the God Clan have to fight fiercely, because the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury has a terrifying origin. There are countless treasures inside, but each treasure is locked in a divine box.

Only by obtaining the key can you open the divine box. Each box contains a treasure that can cause the entire Immortal Realm to go crazy. It can be said that such a key, placed in the Immortal Realm, would drive countless cultivators crazy?

Immortal Emperors would have to be born, but in Lu Changsheng's eyes, he seemed to be a little disgusted?

And that's it?

Wuwuwuwuwu! Fellow Daoist, please, stop pretending. I beg you, I'm dying, I really can't hold on anymore. If you keep pretending like this, I really can't take it anymore.

The mysterious man was crying, really crying. You are too good at pretending, aren't you?

"What about the second fortune?"

Seeing that the other party was not speaking, Lu Changsheng took the lead in breaking the silence, so as not to make the air always awkward.

"The second fortune is an ancient spiritual treasure, the Ancient Divine King Ring."

As the other party spoke, a black fragment floated in front of Lu Changsheng.

In an instant, Lu Changsheng was stunned.

If the key to the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury sounded a bit interesting, then this Heavenly Divine King Ring really made Lu Changsheng excited.

However, when Lu Changsheng saw this 'ring', he was completely stunned.

This is a ring? Isn't this just a small piece of black iron?

Are you kidding me?

Do you think I, Lu, am Liu Qingfeng?

Lu Changsheng was really about to vomit.

The black fragment floating in front of him was simply insulting his, Lu Changsheng's, intelligence.

A black fragment about one-third the size of a fingernail, and you say it's the Ancient Divine King Ring?

Why don't you say it's the Great Dao Seventy-two Grade Three Lives Three Worlds All Heavens Divine Demon Ancient Ring?

That sounds more attractive.

"Your Excellency, I have no grievances or enmities with you, why are you treating me like an idiot?"

Lu Changsheng couldn't help but ask. He could tolerate anything else, but he really couldn't tolerate this.

However, the latter seemed to be used to Lu Changsheng's way of speaking.

He was not angry, but slowly opened his mouth and said.

"Misunderstanding! Fellow Daoist Changsheng, this is indeed the Ancient Divine King Ring, but this is only one-tenth of the fragment. I know the whereabouts of the remaining nine fragments. This ring can command the Underworld God Clan. Fellow Daoist Changsheng, in the Divine Mountain, have you seen those mists?"

The other party said slowly, informing Lu Changsheng.

"I saw them."

Lu Changsheng nodded. Those mists were indeed very strange, but they didn't get close to him, so he didn't really know how strange and terrifying they were.

"In those mists, all of them are ancient war souls. Although their strength is not strong, each of them is at the Immortal Lord level. And this is because I only have one fragment of the Ancient Divine King Ring. If I have two fragments, they will be Immortal Lord Great Perfection. If I can gather three fragments, the strength of the war souls will be at the Immortal Venerable level."

"This Ancient Divine King Ring was refined by a peerless Divine King who controlled reincarnation and life and death in the legends. It is a Divine King spiritual treasure. If you can obtain it, you can awaken all the strong from the ancient era to work for you. Even Immortal Emperors will be loyal to you. Do you think this counts as a great fortune?"

The other party's voice was tempting, and it really moved Lu Changsheng.

Immortal Emperors are loyal to me? If I really have such a ring, wouldn't I be invincible?

"And the most important thing is that you can not only revive ancient war souls to fight for you, but you also have the ability to defy fate and revive the dead. Of course, they must be below the Immortal Emperor level. In this way, if your close friends pass away in the future, you can revive them and not be lonely for the rest of your life."

The other party continued to speak, making Lu Changsheng really tempted.

But soon, Lu Changsheng shook his head and said.

"This is too illusory. It's just a fragment. Let's not talk about whether it's real or fake. Even if you know where these fragments are, it will be difficult to obtain them. Don't try to fool me. But it can be considered a fortune. What about the third fortune?"

At a critical moment, Lu Changsheng understood. Of course, this was indeed a great fortune, but when negotiating, no matter how good the other party's conditions are, you have to belittle them.

This is the most basic way of negotiating. You have to highlight your own abilities, and not be tempted by the other party's benefits.

The other party did not say much, but slowly opened his mouth and said.

"The third fortune is an Immortal Emperor fortune. I have a divine fruit called the Immortal Emperor Fruit. As long as you devour it, you can directly step into the Immortal Emperor realm. Does that count as a fortune?"

The other party spoke of the third fortune.

I have to say, if the other party was not lying, this was indeed a great fortune.

It was much more practical than any Ancient Divine King Ring or Heavenly Emperor's Treasury.

In the Six Realms, whether it is divine beasts, divine weapons, or supreme cultivation methods, to be honest, they are not as practical as realm.

Only by improving one's own strength is the true path.

Otherwise, if you are a Qi Refining cultivator, and you are given the choice between becoming an Immortal and an Immortal King weapon, what would you choose?

A fool would choose the Immortal King weapon. What would a Qi Refining cultivator do with an Immortal King weapon? Become a treasure-giving boy?

A smart person would choose to become an Immortal directly, regardless of whether there will be stronger realms after becoming an Immortal. At least you have cultivation, so you can just stay low and develop slowly.

And Lu Changsheng would choose both. Yes, children make choices, adults want everything.

"This is not bad."

Lu Changsheng nodded. He originally wanted to belittle it, but if he still belittled the Immortal Emperor Divine Fruit, it would be a bit too much.

One shouldn't be too Changsheng in life. (play on words with the protagonist's name)

"How do I save you?"

Lu Changsheng asked. This was considered an agreement, but how to save him was a problem.

"I need you to pick the Fruit of Life from the legendary Tree of Mythology. As long as you find the Fruit of Life, I can give you all of these."

The other party said this.

"Fruit of Life?"

Lu Changsheng was stunned. What was that? He knew the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, he also knew the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, but he really didn't know the Fruit of Life.

"In the legends, after the end of the Chaos Era, the world changed drastically, and a divine tree was born, known as the origin of all races. Three thousand fruits grew on the divine tree, corresponding to the Three Thousand Great Daos. Among them, there is a Fruit of Life, which can transform a person and allow them to be reborn."

"Of course, you don't have to think about it. The Fruit of Life can only be used by those who are about to die. If you have a strong lifespan, you will die a terrible death if you consume the Fruit of Life. I need this fruit. If you help me find it, I will not only give you all of the above three fortunes, but I can also help you become the Lord of the Six Realms!"

He said decisively, giving people a feeling that he would not lie.

"The Tree of Origin? Three thousand fruits? Corresponding to the Three Thousand Great Daos? The Fruit of Life?" Lu Changsheng noted these things down in his heart, and then couldn't help but ask.

"Where is the Tree of Origin?"

He asked curiously.

However, after a long time, the other party slowly spoke.

"I don't know!"

Hiss! Lu Changsheng suffocated.

You don't know, so how am I supposed to find it?

Are you messing with me?

Lu Changsheng was shown up by the other party.

He was silent for a full hour.

Yes, a full hour.

"Of course, don't worry. Since I looked for you, you must have the ability to find it. According to the rumors, the person who can find the Tree of Origin must be a person with great luck. You are very suitable, so I exhausted my last bit of divine power to guide you to this place."

The other party said this.

But these words were no different from saying nothing.

"What if I can't find it?"

Lu Changsheng asked.

"It's very simple. One-fifth of the living beings in the Immortal Realm will be buried with me in reincarnation."

The other party's tone was calm, but these words were extremely domineering.

The meaning was very simple. If he died, he would drag one-fifth of the cultivators in the Immortal Realm to die with him.

That's really cruel.

"Alright, I'll go look for it." Lu Changsheng had nothing to say. Whether he was willing or not, he could only agree for now.

"No, you only have a thousand years, or even eight hundred years later, I might not be able to hold on."

The other party sighed, informing Lu Changsheng that he really couldn't hold on for much longer.

"Eight hundred years? It's impossible to find this kind of thing in eight hundred years. Can you hold on a little longer? Three thousand years? Will that work?"

Lu Changsheng bargained.

"Fellow Daoist Changsheng, if I could hold on for three thousand years, would I say eight hundred years? I also want to hold on. Don't say three thousand years, I want thirty thousand years, but time waits for no one. I'm leaving everything to you."

The other party said this. Immediately after, a space-time crack appeared under Lu Changsheng's feet.

The key to the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury and the Ancient Divine King Ring flew into Lu Changsheng's hands.

"I have no more divine power left. I can only send you off for the last time. There are two divine beasts in the Divine Mountain that may be related to you. I will give you one last fortune, sending everyone away, not wanting to increase the killing. Fellow Daoist Changsheng, farewell.......!"

The voice gradually disappeared.

And Lu Changsheng directly fell into the space, disappearing from the Tianyuan Divine Mountain.

Hey! I haven't finished speaking yet. Can you give me some magic weapons to protect myself first? If you don't have Immortal Emperor weapons, give me two Immortal King weapons.

Lu Changsheng shouted in his heart.

Unfortunately, he had already left the Tianyuan Divine Mountain.

Directly falling into the space-time crack.

Not knowing where he would appear.
