You died!
Your survival time in this simulation was 1,000 years and 2 days.
As the words on the light screen flashed past, Tongtian felt space and time shift. The scene of Buzhou Mountain appeared before his eyes.
"I'm back?"
Tongtian was surprised for only a moment before he frowned.
It wasn't because he had been killed. In the Supreme Treasure's space, he had been weaker than his opponent, so there was nothing to say about being killed. It had all been fake anyway.
The key point was that there was one question he still couldn't figure out.
His answer in God's Tomb World had been flawless. Why had the Tomb Guardian Elder killed him?
Was the answer Xiao Bai? Xiao Nan?
Or had the Tomb Guardian Elder actually been tricking him? Perhaps the lifeform he had replaced had been called neither of those names, but something else?
Unfortunately, aside from Shen Lang, no one could give him an accurate answer now.
Phew—
Daoist Tongtian let out a breath of stale air, a smile appearing on his face.
"Although I died during your trial, I survived for more than a thousand years."
"According to the rules you set, I've completed your trial. So, you should reveal yourself now, right?"
Tongtian spoke toward the void, his heart surging with excitement.
He was about to obtain an Innate Supreme Treasure. It was equivalent to getting rich overnight. How could he not be excited?
The trial had been so realistic. He wondered what abilities this Innate Supreme Treasure possessed.
How was its defense? How was its offensive power?
Compared to Big Brother's Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, which one was stronger?
Second Brother would probably be so jealous that he would cry, right?
Under Tongtian's expectant gaze, the light screen of the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Myriad Worlds Simulator, reappeared before him.
[Player Tongtian, you survived for 1,000 years and 2 days in this simulation, completing the minimum survival period of 1,000 years!] [Congratulations! You will receive the reward for this simulation. Settlement in progress. Please wait...] [The next Myriad Worlds Simulation will begin after a cooldown period of 10,000 years. Please look forward to the next Myriad Worlds Simulation!]
Looking at these words, Tongtian felt somewhat puzzled.
Hadn't it said that the reward was being settled? Wasn't the reward the Innate Supreme Treasure acknowledging him as its master?
Why was there another simulation trial?
As Tongtian watched in confusion, the words on the light screen began to change.
[Player Tongtian, you can obtain the following reward in this simulation—] [Reward: Youth Till Death (When you return, you'll still be a youth!)]
Tongtian was completely dumbfounded. What happened to the promised Innate Supreme Treasure? What the hell was this Youth Till Death?
Wasn't this one of the talents he had chosen before the trial?
But he wanted the Innate Supreme Treasure itself, not some talent!
"Um..."
Tongtian opened his mouth to ask, but with a biu, the Myriad Worlds Simulator's light vanished in an instant.
What a temper this Innate Supreme Treasure had. He liked it!
"I refuse to believe I can't find you!"
Since he couldn't obtain it through the simulation trial, Tongtian decided to use force. He had to find this Innate Supreme Treasure!
Unbeknownst to him, the Youth Till Death talent was already subtly influencing him.
A young man should be sunny, innocent, and single-minded...
Tongtian immediately began frantically searching the surrounding area for the Myriad Worlds Simulator.
Thus, when Taishang Laojun and Primordial arrived, Tongtian was still digging three thousand feet into the ground. He was genuinely traveling through the earth below.
Primordial stared blankly at Tongtian, who kept traveling through the earth, and asked, "Big Brother, what is Third Brother doing?"
Taishang Laojun hesitated. "Perhaps there's a Divine Treasure underground?"
The moment he heard that, Primordial's eyes lit up. With a whoosh, he joined the underground party.
Taishang Laojun hesitated for a moment, but he couldn't hold back either.
Whoosh—
Soon, Tongtian also noticed the arrival of his two elder brothers and exclaimed, "Big Brother, Second Brother, why are you here?"
"Third Brother, what Divine Treasure is here? Why is there no radiance from a treasure?"
As he extended his divine sense to conduct a carpet search, Primordial asked Tongtian.
Tongtian was startled again and hurriedly said, "A Divine Treasure? What Divine Treasure? Where did a Divine Treasure come from?"
He wasn't stupid. He definitely couldn't reveal anything about the Innate Supreme Treasure!
Big Brother Taishang would probably return the Innate Supreme Treasure to him even if he found and subdued it.
But if Second Brother Primordial found it, then it would definitely have nothing to do with him.
Therefore, he would rather die than reveal anything about the Innate Supreme Treasure!
Hearing Tongtian's words, Primordial suddenly stopped. With a dark expression, he asked, "There's no Divine Treasure? Then what are you traveling through the earth for?"
"Oh, I'm testing out a new Escape Art!"
Tongtian lied without hesitation. He even performed the Earth Escape Art in the soil, making it look convincing.
Besides, this really was an Escape Art he had just created. He had made it so he could travel quickly through the earth and find the Innate Supreme Treasure sooner!
Taishang Laojun: "..."
Primordial: "..."
The two brothers silently rose into the air. If you weren't embarrassed, then neither were they.
Their Third Brother was straightforward and had never lied before. He should really be testing an Escape Art.
To avoid exposing himself, Tongtian also emerged from underground.
He glanced at his two elder brothers and asked, "Elder Brothers, did you gain anything in Buzhou Mountain?"
Taishang Laojun and Primordial shook their heads helplessly and regretfully.
Tongtian secretly rejoiced. It seemed he had gained the most, even if he still hadn't managed to get it into his hands!
At this moment, Taishang Laojun spoke. "Tongtian, we've been away for eighty thousand years. It's time to return to Kunlun Mountain."
"We're going back so soon?" A conflicted expression appeared on Tongtian's face.
Taishang Laojun nodded. "Your elder brother has recently sensed something. Perhaps a great opportunity is about to descend upon the three of us."
"I'm not going back. Big Brother, Second Brother, you go back first!" Tongtian flatly refused.
What great opportunity could compare to an Innate Supreme Treasure?
Hearing this, Taishang Laojun frowned. "Buzhou Mountain is a blessed land of opportunities, but such opportunities are not fated for our brothers. Why force it?"
Taishang Laojun was deep-minded, after all. He could tell that Tongtian was hiding something, but he did not expose him.
"Forget it. I won't go back for now." Tongtian turned around and pointed at the ground below. "Big Brother, Second Brother, to be honest, I've also sensed something while staying here. This place holds a great opportunity for me. I... plan to build a Cave Dwelling here."
The moment Primordial heard this, he shouted angrily, "Tongtian, are you crazy? Do you know what you're saying?"
Staying in Buzhou Mountain to build a Cave Dwelling meant that Tongtian wanted to split from them!
Chapter Twenty-Five: The Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda! Choosing the Reward!
The Three Pure Ones had been together since transforming into their human forms. They were bound by the same energy and had hardly ever separated.
This time, they had each sought opportunities in Buzhou Mountain, but they had remained fairly close to one another.
Now Tongtian had suddenly proposed staying in Buzhou Mountain and even opening a Cave Dwelling. Wasn't that equivalent to splitting up?
"No. You must return with us!"
Primordial put on the dignity of an elder brother, looking as if he were about to lecture Tongtian.
Tongtian's temper flared as well. He said, "I never said I wouldn't return to Kunlun Mountain. I only want to cultivate here in seclusion for a while!"
"You can cultivate in seclusion at Kunlun Mountain too!" Primordial barked coldly.
Tongtian turned his head away from Primordial. "I want to cultivate in seclusion here!"
Primordial was so angry that his face flushed. He opened his mouth to say more, but Taishang Laojun spoke first. "Forget it. Let him be."
Primordial looked at Taishang Laojun and frowned. "Big Brother, the Witch and Demon Races are locked in endless warfare now. Sooner or later, it will cause a great upheaval. If we leave Third Brother here alone, with his straightforward nature, what if he gets caught up in it? How will Third Brother handle it alone?"
Taishang Laojun pondered for a moment before waving his hand. A small pagoda, from which two streams of mysterious yellow energy descended, flew toward Tongtian.
At the same time, his voice echoed in Tongtian's mind.
