Gu Xuan raised his eyes and looked around. The scene around him was exactly the same as the original scene in Little Purgatory.
The same white mist, the same high mountains, the same scorching temperature.
However, there is no doubt that this is definitely not the original world.
After all, Gu Xuan is also a dignified six-star emperor. In the small purgatory, he is as powerful as a semi-saint. If everything he experienced just now was fake, how could Gu Xuan not know it?
Moreover, the time and space key on his body has disappeared.
The only reasonable explanation is ready to come out.
"It's really amazing. This must be that space-time where time flows extremely fast."
Gu Xuan looked at the Elf Emperor.
The elf emperor smiled faintly.
"You are much calmer than when I first came in. When I saw this scene, I thought I was under an illusion and entered an illusion. I never expected that this would be the space inside the crater."
The corner of Gu Xuan's mouth curled up slightly, with a look of confidence on his face.
"With the strength of my soul, no one can completely fall into the illusion unless a powerful person from the Holy Realm comes in person."
A gleam flashed in the Elf Emperor's eyes.
"This is also the reason why I invited you to come to this space. The stronger the soul power, the further you can go here. I am willing to stay for you for three years, and I have not received the fruit of purgatory. What do you have to do for me? Help me.
Look for opportunities to become holy and consider it your reward!”
The smile on Gu Xuan's face became stiff and the corners of his mouth trembled.
"Aren't you afraid that I will die here?"
The elf emperor smiled slyly.
"Of course I'm not afraid. None of our great emperors died here. How could you die here? Do you know the name of this space?"
Gu Xuan frowned: "Is there something weird about this name?"
Gu Xuan suddenly had a bad feeling.
"The Nine Death Space is the name of this space."
The elf emperor looked at Gu Xuan.
"The space of nine deaths? Does it mean a life of nine deaths? It seems that this is indeed a very dangerous place."
The expression on Gu Xuan's face was very relaxed, and he was already scolding Shi Zu and the Elf Emperor for cheating him.
Although time is worthless here, if you really only have a 10% chance of survival, you are simply dancing on the tip of a needle.
Even Gu Xuan has great confidence in his own strength.
However, these matters were not explained clearly by Ancestor Shi and the Elf Emperor before, otherwise, Gu Xuan would definitely not choose to come in.
"Seeing that you are so confident, I feel relieved. However, what you just said is only half right. The meaning of nine deaths is not a narrow escape from death, but to be precise, a narrow escape from death and madness.
Everyone who has been here, except Shi Zu, is crazy. No, it should be said that they have all been crazy. Therefore, you will not die, at most you will go crazy."
The Elf Emperor chuckled, and his laughter actually had a sinister meaning.
Gu Xuan: "..."
Can't you just talk nicely?
Why are you smiling so sinisterly?
Even if there is really a ghost, you can't stop yourself from being punched!
Although Gu Xuan understood every word spoken by the elf emperor, when they were put together, Gu Xuan was a little confused.
"What does nine deaths and one madness mean? I don't think I will go mad."
Gu Xuan is really curious.
With a thought from the Elf Emperor, her soul actually became materialized.
A transparent shadow appeared above the body of the Elf Emperor.
Looking at this transparent shadow, Gu Xuan's pupils shrank suddenly.
At the heart of the shadow, a dark chain was tightly locked on the chain.
The front end of the chain turned out to be a sharp thorn, facing the heart, as if it would stab hard at any time and kill the person.
"Tao Heart Seed Demon!"
Gu Xuan was shocked.
With the strength of the elf emperor, how could someone use the method of "seeking demons in the heart of the Tao" on her soul, causing her to become dusty?
This is probably the fundamental reason why she has been unable to enter the Holy Realm.
"Tao Heart Demon? Do you actually know what this is?"
The shadow on the Elf Emperor disappeared and he stared at Gu Xuan eagerly.
"Then you must know how to remove this thing, right?"
Gu Xuan smiled bitterly. Although he knew how to get rid of this thing, the price required was too high and it was impossible to achieve it.
"It's hard?"
There was a trace of uneasiness on the Elf Emperor's face.
"Extremely difficult, almost impossible! However, there may be other ways, but we don't know yet. With your strength, who can plant this thing in you?"
Gu Xuan comforted him and quickly changed the topic.
The Elf Emperor sighed, as if he had accepted his fate, and his face returned to a calm expression.
She didn't answer directly.
"Every emperor who has been here has a crazy obsession after leaving, that is, to become a saint. He will try every means to become a saint.
Even after the Killing Emperor came in and went out, rumors spread from his mouth that by devouring outside races, one would have a chance to become a saint."
Gu Xuan twitched the corner of his mouth.
"No wonder when we first came in, those evil beasts always wanted to capture me and Xie Yun, and they had to keep us alive. It turns out that the source is here."
Warriors from other tribes also appeared from time to time to capture Gu Xuan and the others so that the Emperor could have a chance to attack the Holy Realm.
"Although this is simply nonsense, many people in Little Purgatory believe it."
The Elf Emperor continued to recall.
"We sent the most elite warriors from all races here, but only a few of our emperors got out alive. It is not an exaggeration to say that we narrowly escaped death.
Moreover, all of us have been subjected to the technique of "seeking demons in the heart of the Tao" and have become almost crazy about the matter of sanctification.
At that time, the only exception was Shizu."
Gu Xuan held his chin in his hands and began to think.
"Why would Shi Zu be an exception?"
"I don't know. Originally, we thought that Shizu had died here. Because we only stayed here for a few months. But Shizu stayed here for a hundred years.
God knows how we felt when we waited outside for a hundred days and saw Shi Zu. He discovered our abnormality at that time and used a soul purification technique obtained here for us.
The few of us finally came out of that crazy obsession and became a little more sober. At that time, the little purgatory was filled with corpses everywhere because of our emperors competing for cultivation resources.
It’s scary to think about it.”
Gu Xuan frowned, this matter was indeed weird in every aspect.
"After waking up, of course we want to know why Shi Zu did not encounter the same situation as us, but instead obtained the soul purification technique.
But Shizu was unwilling to answer. Later, we discovered that the effects on our talents after being cast by someone using the 'Tao Heart Seed Demon' were not the same.
The stronger the soul of a person, the smaller the influence. Later, I visited Shizu alone, which further confirmed my guess. Due to various opportunities, Shizu's soul power had long ago reached a point where it was only slightly inferior to that of the Holy Realm.
"
Gu Xuan nodded thoughtfully.
"That's why Shi Zu didn't suffer the disaster of the 'Tao Heart Seed Demon'. However, he was planted with a curse, and the curse even infected the entire clan.
He was forced to start collecting luck beads to suppress the luck of the family and at the same time give himself a chance to enter the true holy realm."
Gu Xuan guessed that at this moment, he finally knew the reason why Shi Zu was so unlucky.
At this moment, a dense army of people with various strange looks appeared in the sky, holding weapons.
"Anyone who offends our tribe will die!"
The army waved their weapons and came towards Gu Xuan and beheaded them!
