"This... Progenitor, if we make such a request, the other party will probably raise the price." Upon hearing the East Emperor Ancestor's request, the Star Master Bei Zhen gave a wry smile.
The previous deal already required ten Strongest Supreme Treasure as collateral. Now, with new demands, it's likely that the East Emperor Holy Land will have to deplete even more of its resources.
However, this was an order issued by the East Emperor Ancestor, and no matter how reluctant they were, they had no choice but to do their utmost to accomplish this for the Progenitor.
"Raise the price? I'm not afraid of him raising the price; I'm only afraid he can't provide the cultivation experience and knowledge I desperately need!" Upon hearing this, the East Emperor Ancestor simply shook his head. What use were these few Supreme Treasure from the Universe Ocean to him?
What does it matter if it means giving everything, as long as it truly helps him reach a higher level of strength?
At worst, we can just let the powerful figures from the Holy Land continue their treasure hunts in the future. Anyway, there are plenty of ' Quasi-Universe Master ' within the East Emperor Holy Land, so it doesn't matter if some of them perish on adventures outside.
Through continuous exploration in each Reincarnation Era, little by little, we will eventually be able to make up for these losses.
Of course, what the East Emperor Ancestor didn't know was that an even greater crisis would arise in this Reincarnation Era. If things went wrong, the East Emperor Holy Land Universe he had created would cease to exist!
"Fine, I'll talk to him myself this time. I hope he really has Memory Stone containing more profound cultivation experience in the ' Life Dao '!" The East Emperor Ancestor was afraid that Bei Zhen hadn't explained things clearly enough, so he decided to communicate with him personally.
Immediately, a token appeared in his palm.
That's Communication Token.
" Master of Nine Fiends Prison!" The East Emperor Ancestor sent a direct message.
In the remote core area of Liuzhong Mountain, Luo Ao has now officially entered the ' Flame Demon Cave ' and has reaped considerable rewards.
The ancient and deep Flame Demon Cave is like nine ancient behemoths that can Profound Mysteries of Devouring countless lives.
Having gone through countless Reincarnation Era, it shows no signs of damage whatsoever, and any expert with even a modicum of discernment would be able to tell that it is an extremely special and powerful treasure.
However, none of the powerful figures who have visited this place throughout history have been able to successfully claim it as their master. According to the information recorded on the map... even those who were once 'invincible' could not successfully claim this treasure as their master.
Inside a strange space, as dark as Infernal Realm yet occasionally flickering with tiny sparks of fire, a Black Pyramid was slowly advancing.
"Indeed, as the map shows, this Flame Demon Cave is clearly a man-made treasure, and each Flame Demon Cave will nurture some ' Flame Demon Crystal Essence '." Luo Ao examined the magnificent, fiery red crystal soul in his hand, revealing an interested expression.
The Flame Demon Crystal Essence is a special material produced in the Flame Demon Cave. It has no secret patterns inside, but just because of its special material, it can serve as a Peak Supreme Treasure for guarding the soul!
Even the Universe Supreme Master wouldn't normally obtain many of these top-tier soul Supreme Treasure.
However, within the 'hidden paradise' of the Flame Demon Cave, countless ' Flame Demon Crystal Essence ' are nurtured, much like 'drops of water' in the ocean. Although these Flame Demon Crystal Essence are as valuable as Peak Soul Supreme Treasure, they are extremely common within the Flame Demon Cave.
but--
If the Flame Demon Crystal Essence had not appeared on their own initiative, even those 'invincible beings' in history who also possessed supreme Supreme Treasure Palace would not have been able to forcibly take those ' Flame Demon Crystal Essence ' from the Flame Demon Cave.
"It is said that deep within the core of the ' Flame Demon Cave ' lies a ' Flame Demon Vortex.' Once inside, even those with supreme Supreme Treasure Palace are doomed to die!" The fact that even supreme Supreme Treasure Palace cannot withstand it undoubtedly demonstrates the terrifying power of the ' Flame Demon Vortex '!
While some normal perilous situations can indeed be overcome safely with the help of powerful Supreme Treasure Palace, those perilous situations that are themselves filled with special treasures are different.
Just like the Tomb Ship where the " Duan Donghe " was born in the original work, a wisp of the remnant spirit of a powerful being inside could easily annihilate a powerful being protected by a supreme Supreme Treasure Palace by using some special restrictions of that treasure itself!
"This Flame Demon Cave is definitely a super treasure. The conditions for it to recognize a master will probably be extremely demanding. I just don't know if it's inherently powerful or if it contains the inheritance of an ancient civilization..." He was quite lucky, as he happened to be born during the period when the ' Flame Demon Crystal Essence ' was born.
If you have enough patience to keep searching inside, getting ten or eight ' Flame Demon Crystal Essence ' will be a piece of cake.
"However, my goal isn't just these Flame Demon Crystals... I've heard that some of the inner domains of the Flame Demon Cave even have special guardians similar to 'Lava Demons,' I'd like to go and see for myself." As long as he doesn't venture into the core 'Flame Demon Vortex,' he's confident he can survive.
Having reached his current level, ordinary opportunities and treasures are no longer of much significance.
However, this Flame Demon Cave clearly looks unusual.
Just as Luo Ao was preparing to meet the 'Guardian', he suddenly raised an eyebrow, "Was it the token given to me by the Star Master Bei Zhen? His sudden contact with me must mean the Memory Stone I gave him has yielded results."
The Memory Stone he traded with the East Emperor Holy Land were all genuine, and there should be more to the deal.
Since it's just a casual leak of some ordinary inheritance, and the other party will return the Memory Stone in the end, he naturally doesn't mind using this opportunity to acquire more Strongest Supreme Treasure.
The Black Prison Tower paused for the moment. Luo Ao flipped his hand, and the token appeared in his palm.
" The Master of Nine Fiends Prison?" came the message from the other end.
" Star Master Bei Zhen?" Luo Ao quickly replied.
"I am the East Emperor," the message continued.
Luo Ao was slightly taken aback, but quickly calmed down.
To the other powerful beings in the Universe Ocean, the two Progenitor the Two Great Holy Lands were unapproachable, incredibly mysterious and supreme beings.
However, Luo Ao only felt awe for the two individuals' strength. As for their presence in the Universe Ocean Universe Ocean? He knew that these two couldn't possibly appear there, so he naturally didn't fear them like the others did.
"According to my speculation, the East Emperor Ancestor should be the kind of lone Void True God who doesn't have much knowledge..." If he had joined a powerful sect, even if he was a lone wolf, he probably wouldn't be so eager to obtain the inheritance from the Universe Ocean.
Even the younger Purple Moon Ancestor East Emperor that 'seizing the body of the Primal Universe ' was extremely beneficial, while the much older ' East Emperor ' was completely unaware of it. From this, we can roughly see that the other party's current situation on the Origin Continent is rather ordinary.
"I never expected that you, the East Emperor Ancestor, would personally contact me. It is truly my honor," Luo Ao replied calmly.
"I wonder what important matter the East Emperor Ancestor has to discuss with me? Could it be that there's something wrong with that Memory Stone?" Luo Ao actually had a pretty good idea.
Although he couldn't see the higher levels of content yet, he had also found the owner of that Memory Stone among the other Memory Stone. Through the owner's self-narration of some 'situations' and combined with the 'evaluations' of him by other powerful individuals, he could roughly guess the owner's strength level.
Even with slight errors, it's estimated to be sufficient to meet the East Emperor's needs.
"Of course, no problem, that Memory Stone is excellent," replied the East Emperor Ancestor. "It's just a pity that it belongs to a senior who followed the ' Flame Dao.' If it were the cultivation experience of a powerful cultivator who followed the ' Life Dao,' it would be even better!"
The East Emperor Ancestor knew that his initiative would only lead to further demands from the other party. However, he desperately needed this kind of cultivation experience, and he was willing to accept it even if it meant suffering some losses.
" The Life Dao?" Luo Ao was slightly surprised, but among the hundreds of millions of inheritances, Yongzhen's was included, so this type of inheritance naturally existed as well. However, he couldn't just satisfy the other party's needs too easily.
"Yes, the Life Dao! You have Ancient Civilization Inheritance, so you must know this knowledge. Even if you can't see the subsequent cultivation content above the True God level, you can definitely judge the basic categories..." The East Emperor Ancestor quickly transmitted the information.
"Well, I can indeed distinguish between them..." The so-called Life Dao and Flame Dao are both higher-level cultivation paths that point directly to the level of the Void True God or even the Eternal True God Level.
However, as the saying goes, a tall building rises from the ground, and even these profound cultivation paths are based on the ten fundamental Origin Law.
Like the ' Flame Dao ' cultivation inheritance that Luo Ao gave earlier, at the very least, one only needs to comprehend the complete Flame Origin Law to begin cultivation; theoretically, even Immortal God could begin researching it.
"Yes, you can distinguish the basic categories. This time, please select Memory Stone from a powerful person who has walked the ' Life Dao '..." It was clear that the East Emperor Ancestor was indeed very anxious.
"I can indeed select Memory Stone for the ' Life Dao.' However, I cannot see content beyond the level of the Universe Supreme Master, so I don't know just how profound it is..." In this second transaction, Luo Ao will definitely satisfy the other party's need for the ' Life Dao,' but he won't offer anything too profound.
Otherwise, if they're fed all at once, there won't be a third transaction to follow.
"It's alright, if all else fails, we'll trade twice! I believe that after two trades, we should be able to find a Memory Stone that meets my needs." Although the East Emperor Ancestor was constrained by his own situation and appeared rather impatient, he had clearly seen through Luo Ao's 'little scheme'.
However, neither of them said anything.
"Besides, since you, the East Emperor Ancestor, have made additional requests, I also have a small request..." Since the other party had taken the initiative to raise the bar, he naturally had no reason not to accept it.
"Another palace-type Strongest Supreme Treasure? Fine, I agree!" The East Emperor Ancestor agreed without much hesitation, but it was tough on the Star Master Bei Zhen, who would have to coordinate with the other powerful figures.
The East Emperor Holy Land indeed possesses more than one Strongest Supreme Treasure of the palace type. However, only the previous Black Prison Tower is either 'publicly used' or idle. To produce a second one, they would have to 'requisition' treasures from other powerful individuals.
"Then it's a deal, the next trading time..." The two quickly agreed on the time and place for the transaction.
"It seems the East Emperor Ancestor is quite satisfied." Luo Ao put away the token and rushed into the dark void ahead once more.
The Flame Demon Cave is filled with many dangerous places.
According to the map, the areas can be divided into four levels: normal, dangerous, extremely dangerous, and dead zone. The normal area is self-explanatory. The dangerous and extremely dangerous areas mainly depend on the strength level of the 'Guardian'.
In the danger zone, even a powerful being like Luo Ao, one of the Universe Supreme Master, could still put up a fight against the 'Guardian' without facing mortal danger. However, in the 'extremely dangerous' zone, the Guardian's strength is terrifying; without the protection of the Supreme Treasure Palace, death is almost certain.
"The guardians here are indeed powerful, but they're better than the Lava Demon God in that they won't leave their 'territory' to pursue their goals." If these guys could move freely, probably none of them in history would have been able to obtain detailed information about the ' Flame Demon Cave '.
The guardians of the extremely dangerous zone are each nearly 10 billion kilometers tall and have different forms. Some resemble Human Race figures, while others are in the form of ferocious monsters. The only thing they have in common is that they all appear to be 'illusory', and do not seem to be real life forms.
"Could it be an array?" A powerful expert with limited vision might not be able to see the true nature of these 'guardians,' but although Luo Ao himself was not proficient in arrays, he had 'seen' many exquisite array inheritances.
The area where the guardian was located clearly resembled a series of formations!
