Step onto the golden bridge.

In an instant, Lu Changsheng saw the palace of Heaven Abyss God Mountain.

An extremely ancient palace.

The palace was neither luxurious nor extraordinary; overall, it looked somewhat dilapidated and weathered by time.

But it gives people an indescribable sense of antiquity and extraordinary beauty.

The black palace exudes terror, instilling fear in those who cannot help but feel it.

Lu Changsheng sighed. To overcome his fear, he surrounded himself with the Three Thousand Great Daos, making him impervious to all evil.

He entered the palace, knowing that if he wanted to leave, he would have to step inside.

Since the Golden Ape had also allowed him to enter the palace, Lu Changsheng naturally didn't waste any words.

Upon entering the palace, Lu Changsheng appeared remarkably calm, and his earlier tension vanished instantly.

The palace was spotless and empty, devoid of any furnishings.

"You've finally arrived?"

Just then, a dry, hoarse voice rang out.

It was as if they hadn't spoken for tens of thousands of years.

"Who is calling for me, the Longevity Daoist?"

Lu Changsheng remained calm, subconsciously continuing his act of deception.

Mysterious man. "

The other person fell silent, seemingly unsure how to respond.

But after a while, the sound rang out again.

"You don't need to hide it anymore. I know you're not some Longevity Daoist. I can tell you've only been cultivating for a hundred years. Although you're strange, and even I can't see your level of cultivation, I know very well that you are a person of this era."

The voice rang out again, and the other party immediately recognized Lu Changsheng's identity.

However, Lu Changsheng was not embarrassed.

"Ha, you're the first person to speak to me like that? It seems I, the Longevity Daoist, have been asleep for an era, and no one recognizes me anymore."

Since he was going to pretend, he might as well go all the way; Lu Changsheng wasn't afraid anymore.

The latter:""

The other party indeed fell silent, seemingly unable to believe that there could be such a shameless person in the world. Even after their identity was exposed, they were still pretending. It was truly admirable.

The air grew quiet.

It took the full time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

In the end, the other party sighed helplessly.

"Alright, I'll assume you're the Longevity Daoist."

Upon hearing the voice, Lu Changsheng nodded naturally, but then shook his head. What do you mean by "just for the sake of it"? I am what I am, okay!

What evidence do you have to prove that I am not the Longevity Daoist?

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

Lu Changsheng finally understood. The other party must have something to ask him, and since their attitude was so gentle, they definitely wouldn't harm him. Otherwise, he would have died a thousand times over. Since the other party had something to ask of him and wouldn't harm him, he was sure they would do so.

Then let's just keep pretending until the very end.

This would also avoid the awkward situation if Yang Ping and his group showed up and discovered his identity.

"I need you to save me."

The other person's voice rang out, and it seemed very weak, their words coming out listlessly, like a dying lamp about to go out.

"Save you? What's in it for me?"

Lu Changsheng was taken aback. He was very familiar with this kind of tactic, so he skipped the middle steps and went straight to asking about the benefits.

Clearly, this mysterious person did not expect Lu Changsheng to be so direct, not even asking how to save him or what would happen if he didn't, but directly asking about the benefits.

"Aren't you going to ask how to save me? What if it's very difficult and you're unwilling to help?"

The other party was so curious that they couldn't help but ask this question.

"What good would asking do? If I said I wouldn't save you, would you let me go? It's better to be direct and avoid trouble."

Lu Changsheng answered in this way.

It wasn't that he didn't respect the other party, it was just that the other party was acting mysteriously and hiding their true intentions. He didn't even know if the other party was a Primordial Spirit, so why be so polite?

Besides, if I'm unwilling to help, will people forgive me for being civilized and setting a good example?

Since you're so polite, then I'll pass on this important task. I'll take you back to your hometown. Yes, yes, take care. Don't worry, I'll be gentle.

In this situation, it's better to be direct and straightforward, and discuss the rewards first.

Mysterious man. "

The air fell silent once more, and another incense stick's time passed.

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

The mysterious man asked again.

"I don't want to! Fellow Daoist, just say it directly. Don't beat around the bush. I think you're about the same age as me, having lived for countless years. Let's be straightforward to avoid wasting time."

Lu Changsheng shook his head. He was serious; he wasn't joking.

All you do is tell stories, but it's always the same few stories: war between Gods and Devils, powerful beings from beyond the realm, world crises. Isn't there anything new to say?

He was bored, so he decided to sit down and talk about the reward.

Mysterious man. "

It was clear that the other person wanted to say something, but in the end, it turned into a sigh.

"Alright, if you rescue me, I can grant you three great fortunes."

That's what the other party said.

"Those three games?"

Lu Changsheng became interested.

"The first challenge Heavenly Emperor Treasury. Here are three keys to the Heavenly Emperor Treasury. If you are able to enter the Heavenly Emperor Treasury in the future, these three keys will grant you three supreme treasures. Are you satisfied?"

When the other person is speaking.

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

It's exactly the same key I got in Langya Wonderland, only the color is different.

That's it?

Lu Changsheng was slightly disgusted.

Although the Heavenly Emperor Treasury sounds impressive, he had already obtained such a thing before. It's something that exists in the Lower Realm, so what's so precious about it?

Mysterious man. "

The other party vomited. The Heavenly Emperor Treasury is something that even Immortal Emperors would go crazy for. Whenever the Heavenly Emperor Treasury appears, the powerful members of the God Clan would fight fiercely because the origin of the Heavenly Emperor Treasury is too terrifying. It contains countless treasures, but each treasure is locked in a divine box.

Only by obtaining the key can one open the divine chests inside. Each chest contains a treasure that could drive the entire Immortal Realm mad. One could say that if such a key were placed in the Immortal Realm, how many cultivators would go crazy?

Even the Celestial Emperor is about to be born, but in Lu Changsheng's eyes, there seems to be a bit of disdain?

That's all?

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

The mysterious person is crying, really crying! You're such a good actor!

"What about the second stroke of luck?"

Seeing that the other person was silent, Lu Changsheng broke the silence first to avoid the awkward silence continuing.

"The second opportunity is a High Antiquity spiritual treasure, the Ancient God King Ring."

As the other person spoke, a black fragment appeared in front of Lu Changsheng.

In an instant, Lu Changsheng was stunned.

If the key to the Heavenly Emperor Treasury sounded somewhat significant, then this Ancient God King Ring truly invigorated Lu Changsheng.

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

Is this supposed to be a ring? It's 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 fragments that appeared before his eyes were an insult to Lu Changsheng's intelligence.

A black fragment, about a third the size of a fingernail, is said to be an Ancient God King Ring?

Why don't you say this is the Ancient Ring of the Seventy-Two Grades of the Great Dao, encompassing the Three Lives and Three Worlds, and the Gods and Devils of All Heavens?

That sounds more appealing.

"Sir, I have no grudge against you, why do you treat me like a fool?"

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

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

He wasn't angry; he simply spoke slowly.

"It's a misunderstanding! Fellow Daoist Changsheng, this is indeed the Ancient God King Ring, but it's only one-tenth of the fragment. I know the whereabouts of the remaining nine fragments. This ring can govern the Nether God Race. Fellow Daoist Changsheng, in the Divine Mountain, did you see those mists?"

The other party spoke slowly, informing Lu Changsheng.

"I saw it."

Lu Changsheng nodded. The mist was indeed very strange, but since it wasn't near him, he didn't really know how strange or terrifying it was.

"Those mists are filled with High Antiquity battle spirits. Although their strength is not great, each of them is at the Immortal Lord level. Moreover, this is because I only have one fragment of the Ancient God King Ring. If I had two fragments, they would be at the Great Perfection of the Immortal Lord level. If I could gather three fragments, the strength of the battle spirits would be at the Immortal Venerable level."

"This Ancient God King Ring was forged by a legendary God King who controlled reincarnation and life and death. It is God King treasure. If you can obtain it, you can awaken all the powerful beings of the Ancient Era and make them serve you. Even the Immortal Emperor will be loyal to you. Don't you think this is a great fortune?"

The other person's voice was so alluring that Lu Changsheng was truly tempted.

Even the Celestial Emperor is loyal to himself? If one truly possessed such a ring, wouldn't he be invincible?

"And most importantly, you can not only revive High Antiquity war spirits to fight for you, but you also have the ability to defy fate and bring the dead back to life. Of course, they must be below the level of an Immortal Emperor. In this way, if your best friend passes away in the future, you can be revived and you will not be lonely for the rest of your life."

The other party continued to speak, which truly moved Lu Changsheng.

But soon, Lu Changsheng shook his head and said.

"This is too far-fetched. It's just a fragment. Whether it's real or fake is another matter. Even if you know where it is, it would be very difficult to obtain. Don't try to fool me. But it can still be considered a stroke of luck. What about the third one?"

At the crucial moment, Lu Changsheng realized that this was indeed a great opportunity, but in negotiations, no matter how good the other party's conditions were, they had to belittle them.

This is the most basic negotiation strategy: highlight your own capabilities, rather than being tempted by the other party's interests.

The other party didn't say much, but slowly opened their mouth.

"The third opportunity is the opportunity of becoming an Immortal Emperor. I have a divine fruit called the Immortal Emperor Fruit. If you devour it, you can directly step into the realm of Immortal Emperor. Wouldn't you call that an opportunity?"

The other party then spoke of the third stroke of good fortune.

To be honest, if the other party wasn't lying, this is indeed a great stroke of luck.

It's much more practical than some Ancient God King Ring or Heavenly Emperor Treasury.

In the Six Realms, whether it's divine beasts, divine artifacts, or supreme cultivation techniques, to be honest, nothing is as real as realm.

Only by improving one's own strength can one truly succeed.

Otherwise, if you were a Qi Refining cultivator, and you were offered the choice between becoming an immortal or receiving an Immortal King Artifact, which would you choose?

A fool would choose Immortal King Artifact. What would a Qi Refining cultivator do with Immortal King Artifact? Become a treasure-delivering servant?

Only smart people would choose to become immortals directly, regardless of whether they will reach a higher realm after becoming immortals. At least you will have cultivation, and you can just slowly survive.

Lu Changsheng chose both. Yes, that's right, only children make choices; adults want them all.

"This one is alright."

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

One shouldn't live too long.

How can I save you?

Lu Changsheng spoke, which was considered an agreement, but how to save him was another question.

"I need you to pluck the Life Fruit from the legendary mythical tree. As long as you find the Life Fruit, I can give you everything."

That's what the other party said.

"The Life Fruit?"

Lu Changsheng was stunned. What was this? He knew about the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, but he really didn't know about the Life Fruit.

"Legend has it that after the end of the Chaos Era, the world underwent a great change, and a divine tree was born, known as the origin of all races. On the divine tree, there were three thousand fruits, corresponding to the Three Thousand Great Daos. Among them, there is a Life Fruit, which can transform a person and bring them back to life."

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

He was decisive and clear-cut, giving the impression that he wouldn't lie.

"The Origin God Tree? Three thousand fruits? Corresponding to the Three Thousand Great Daos? The Life Fruit?" Lu Changsheng memorized these things and then couldn't help but ask.

Where is the Origin God Tree?

He asked curiously.

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

"Have no idea!"

Hiss! Lu Changsheng suffocated.

If you don't know, how am I supposed to find it?

Are you kidding me?

Lu Changsheng was impressed by the other party's display of skill.

He remained silent for a full hour.

Yes, one hour.

"Of course, don't worry. Since I've come to you, it must be because you have the ability to find it. According to legend, those who can find the Origin God Tree must be beings with immense and boundless fortune. You fit the bill perfectly, which is why I exhausted my last bit of divine power to bring you here."

That's what the other party said.

But saying that makes no difference.

What if I can't find it?

Lu Changsheng asked.

"It's very simple. One-fifth of the beings in the Immortal Realm will perish in the cycle of reincarnation along with me."

The other person spoke calmly, but their words were extremely domineering.

The meaning is simple: if he dies, he will take one-fifth of the cultivators in the immortal realm with him.

That's really ruthless.

But what does this have to do with me, the Devil Master?

"Alright, I'll look for it." Lu Changsheng had nothing more 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, and I might not be able to hold on."

The other party sighed and told Lu Changsheng that he indeed couldn't hold on for much longer.

"Eight hundred years? You can't find something like that in eight hundred years. Can you hold out for another three thousand years?"

Lu Changsheng bargained.

"Fellow Daoist Changsheng, if I could withstand three thousand years, would I say eight hundred? I would like to withstand it too. Not to mention three thousand years, I would even want three hundred thousand years, but time waits for no one, so I'm entrusting all of this to you."

As soon as the other party said this, a spatial rift appeared beneath Lu Changsheng's feet.

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

"My divine power is gone, I can only send you on your final journey. There are two divine beasts in the sacred mountain, which may be related to you. I will give you a final blessing and send everyone away. I do not want to cause any more bloodshed. Farewell, Fellow Daoist Changsheng!"

The sound gradually faded away.

Lu Changsheng, on the other hand, fell directly into the space and disappeared into the Heaven Abyss God Mountain.

Hey! You're not finished yet! Do you have any Law Treasure to protect me? I don't have any Immortal Emperor Artifact, but I'll give you two Immortal King Artifacts.

Lu Changsheng cried out in his heart.

Unfortunately, he has already left Heaven Abyss God Mountain.

They fell directly into the spacetime rift.

I don't know where it will appear.
