Chapter 248: The Prison Demon Mountain! The Emperor's Inheritance!
Feng Xi was actually not surprised that his senior saw through this.
So after being slightly surprised, just pretend that nothing happened.
After greeting a few people, Senior Huang invited them to sit down and chat for a while.
Although the old-timer is secretive and full of personality, he has a good personality and is easy to talk to.
At least to them, the younger generation, he is more like an elder who doesn't talk much but is full of kindness and concern.
The content of the chat ranged from small daily matters to guidance on spiritual practice. A few simple words of instruction could benefit juniors like them a lot.
After Mu Lanyan told the news that Feng Xi had successfully destroyed more than a dozen secret realms, Senior Huang finally showed some surprise:
"Oh? That's good, that's good!"
Feng Xi could tell on the spot that his surprise was a bit perfunctory, and he was just pretending to show them.
He obviously knew it a long time ago.
This acting skill is far worse than Xiao Qiyue's.
Feng Xi secretly complained, and then directly asked him her doubts.
"Oh, so you are still confused about our purpose?"
"Actually, the reason is very simple. Although the emperor handed over the Demonic Abyss to us five old guys before his death, we are not strong enough and cannot fully control it. We can only simply maintain the operation of the Demonic Abyss."
"Although more and more secret realms have brought benefits to Moyuan, they have also increased our burden."
"After hundreds of years of operation, there are already too many secret realms in the Demon Abyss. While these secret realms provide the Demon Abyss with a large number of monsters, they are also slowly absorbing the power of the Demon Abyss to grow. If left unchecked, the Demon Abyss's space barrier will be strengthened. Sooner or later it will be overwhelmed and holes will appear.”
"On the contrary, if these secret realms are destroyed, it can also bring many benefits to the Demonic Abyss, strengthen the spatial barriers of the Demonic Abyss, increase the energy concentration in the Demonic Abyss, etc. In short, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."
After hearing the explanation, Feng Xi was not very surprised. This was not far from what he had guessed, but doubts still existed:
"If that's the case, why don't the seniors personally destroy these secret realms and control their numbers?"
"The domains of us five old guys have been connected to the origin of the entire Demonic Abyss, and the Secret Realm and the Demonic Abyss have been integrated to some extent, so we can't take action against the Secret Realm, otherwise we will suffer backlash, and the gains will outweigh the losses. ”
"Then there's no need to let the students take risks, right? Facts have proved that they can't do such a thing. What about the teachers in the school? It should be much easier to let them do it, right?"
Feng Xi asked again, but this time it was Mu Lanyan who explained to him:
"It's not as simple as you think. The rules of the Demon Abyss only allow extraordinary people under the age of 40 to enter. Once you enter the Demon Abyss over the age of 40, you will be assimilated and will never be able to leave."
"None of the staff at Tiandu Academy is under 40 years old, so there is nothing they can do about the secret realm."
Only then did Feng Xi's doubts disappear.
But if you think about it carefully, the existence of Moyuan is equivalent to a cheating map to quickly improve your cultivation. If you could infinitely farm monsters and become stronger in it, Tiandu Academy would have cultivated batches of high-level extraordinary beings long ago.
So this is obviously impossible.
You can only stay in this dungeon until you are 40 years old at most. Calculated based on the monster-killing efficiency of a normal person, it is not too outrageous.
After clearing up the doubts in his mind, he originally thought that the visit was over, but Senior Huang suddenly said:
"My dear friend Feng Xi, I have something to ask of you."
"Huh? Senior, is there anything else that a strong man like you needs me to do?"
Feng Xi didn't react for a while, but she immediately guessed that it might be a situation similar to the secret realm, something they couldn't take action on, so she immediately said:
"Senior Huang, even if you say it bluntly, if this kid can do it, he will do his best."
Huang Mingyuan nodded and said: "That's great! In fact, we have been waiting for this for a long time. It wasn't until we saw you before that we were sure that you were the person who could help us escape."
"relief?"
"Actually, although the power of the Demonic Abyss is in our hands, we at least take charge of it. Many things are very restrictive and very inconvenient. Only the orthodox heirs who have been inherited by the emperor can truly control the entire Cangye Demonic Abyss."
"In fact, our existence is not only to guard the Demonic Abyss, but also to find the legitimate heir for the emperor."
"Heir?"
Feng Xi narrowed her eyes, a little surprised.
Did the Cangye Emperor, the first Starry Sky Realm venerable in the human race, who was more powerful than the Twelve Tianyuan, actually leave his own inheritance?
Seeing the change in Feng Xi's expression, Huang Mingyuan continued to explain: "This is not a secret. Before His Majesty the Emperor passed away, he left a prison-suppressing Demonic Mountain. It not only sealed the evil god's projection of the Lord of Decline, but was also the inheritance of the Emperor. A place of trial.”
"All geniuses recognized by our five old guys can enter the Magic Mountain to participate in the trial."
"As long as you can pass all the way and reach the top of the mountain, you can get the inheritance left by the emperor."
"We don't know what this inheritance is, but the emperor said that this is a treasure he carefully prepared. It will never improve the extraordinary person less than the twelve Tianyuan inheritance, and unlike the Tianyuan inheritance, it will only help The extraordinary person accumulates the foundation to break through to the starry sky realm, but it will not affect the successor's own potential. "
"This will undoubtedly be of great help to those who succeed in the challenge, and once the successor appears, we will be able to escape from the devil's abyss and regain our freedom."
After listening to this, Feng Xi was naturally interested, but he was still calm. He just nodded and said:
"That would be a win-win situation. If the five seniors can get out, it would be a great help to the entire Daxia. Daxia might also be able to add another venerable inheritance."
"Yes, it's a pity that good things come hard. Maybe the emperor has too high requirements for his successor. The difficulty of the Demon Mountain Trial is very huge. There are no less than a hundred geniuses who have participated in the trial, but no one has succeeded so far."
"There are seven levels of trials in total, and no one has even rushed to the fifth level. On the contrary, many geniuses have fallen."
"According to the information brought by the losers, if you want to break through the fifth level, you must have at least the combat power of the seventh level to have hope. However, it is a bit unrealistic for young extraordinary people under the age of 40 to reach the combat power of the seventh level."
After listening to this, Feng Xi couldn't help but frown.
What's wrong with Emperor Cangye?
If you don't want to give it, you don't have to give it!
Isn't this difficulty a joke?
The fifth level requires the trialist to have the combat power of the seventh level?
What about the sixth and seventh floors?
It's a joke!
Does he think everyone is a cheater like me?
Feng Xi complained in his heart, and he already understood their thoughts.
So this is why they expect me?
Senior Huang glanced at Mu Lanyan on the side, then turned his head and stared at Feng Xi, and said seriously:
"Originally, Lanyan was our last hope, but now we have a better candidate."
Feng Xi looked at him for a while, then grinned.
Hahaha! This plot is nothing new! It's clear at a glance!
That's right! Who else can take this trial but me? !
Isn't this prepared for a cheater like me?
That's right! I am the protagonist!
