Peerless War God

Chen Xiao and Marquis Zi Jin sat opposite each other and drank to their hearts’ content. The atmosphere was harmonious, and they chatted happily.    

"Haha, congratulations, Chen Xiao. You have successfully condensed a Longevity Soul. You deserve to drink a few cups."    

Marquis Zi Jin raised the wine cup in his hand and laughed loudly.    

It could be seen that he was truly happy for Chen Xiao.    

Chen Xiao raised his cup and replied, "It is all thanks to Big Brother Zi Jing protecting me and protecting my body."    

Only after that did he know that his soul had left his body. In order to condense a Longevity Soul, he had actually spent three years. During these three years, Marquis Zi Jin had been by his side. This kind of sentiment was very rare, and he remembered it in his heart.    

Marquis Zi Jin finished the wine in his cup and said casually, "This is just a small matter. The fact that you were able to successfully condense a Longevity Soul is completely your own good fortune."    

Although he said that, Chen Xiao would not really care about it.    

He said again, "Big Brother Zi Jing, I will remember your guidance."    

Marquis Zi Jin was very satisfied with Chen Xiao's attitude, but he did not dwell on this problem. Instead, he changed the topic and asked about something else.    

"Next, what are your plans?"    

"The Longevity Soul is only the first step to immortality. To become a true expert, I am still far from it. It is said that the Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda is about to open. I must go and challenge it."    

Chen Xiao said in a deep voice, looking very serious.    

When he mentioned the Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda, Marquis Zi Jin also had a serious expression on his face. He said, "The Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda is filled with dangers. Have you thought about it clearly? The dangers within are not something that outsiders can tell. Even if an immortal-level cultivator were to enter it, it would still be a narrow escape. Have you thought about it clearly?"    

Marquis Zi Jin's words were indeed a bit intimidating. Even Chen Xiao was shocked.    

He swallowed his saliva and asked with a serious expression, "Brother Zi Jing, is the Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda really that dangerous?"    

Marquis Zi Jin looked at him deeply and said, "Are you afraid?"    

Chen Xiao laughed dryly and said, "No one is not afraid of a life-and-death situation. If you say that you are not afraid, then it is a lie. If it is really too dangerous and there is no chance of survival, then it is not too late to go."    

Usually, such a dangerous situation was for people who were about to die. They would take the risk to explore it and fight for a slim chance of survival.    

Chen Xiao was still very young, so there was no need for him to be in a hurry to take the risk. It was not necessary.    

As for his promise to the Grandmaster, he could reject it. It was not a big deal. If it was really impossible, saving his life was more important than anything else.    

Usually, he was a very adaptable person.    

When Marquis Zi Jin heard this, he laughed endlessly, "Haha, what a word 'slightly'. You didn't see that you are also cunning. Interesting."    

Chen Xiao scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. He explained, "Big Brother Zihong, please don't make fun of me."    

The Duke of Zijin regained his composure and said, "Don't worry. The Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda is dangerous, but not dangerous. In fact, it's not a dangerous place. It's not a place where you will die."    

"Oh, so Big Brother Zihong seems to know a lot about the Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda?" Chen Xiao asked curiously.    

The Duke of Zijin's words clearly showed that he knew a lot about the Nine-Layered Pagoda.    

The Duke of Zijin smiled indifferently and replied, "I've lived for so long. Although I've never been to the Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda, I've heard a lot about it. Although the Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda is only a pagoda, there is a different world inside. It's an extremely huge space, and it's very dangerous. There are a lot of monsters and monsters living inside, and even demons."    

"Living?" Chen Xiao was stunned and asked.    

"Yes. According to the legends, the God Domain a long time ago was filled with monsters and monsters. Later, the humans fought with the monsters, and the humans won the battle. Thus, they took over the God Domain. During the war, countless monsters were thrown into the Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda and sealed up. They slowly died."    

The Duke of Zijin explained.    

After Chen Xiao heard this, he was incomparably shocked. He found it hard to calm down for a moment. There was actually such a secret. He had never heard of it before.    

He widened his eyes and said in surprise, "There is actually such a thing. I didn't hear of it before. If that's the case, isn't the Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda a huge prison?"    

Purple Gold Marquis nodded and said, "There's nothing wrong with what you said. It is both a prison and a sealed land that few human cultivators have ever set foot on."    

"Sealed land?" Chen Xiao muttered as he continuously digested this information.    

Without a doubt, this information was too shocking for him, making it hard for him to imagine.    

In the end, the Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda actually had such a secret, which was even more mysterious.    

"Yes, the Nine-Layered Divine Tower. As the name implies, it has a total of nine spaces. The entrance is the first space, and it is also the largest. When one is inside the space, it is relatively safer. As long as the Tribulation Transcender who enters the first space stays in the first space, it is basically very easy to stay in the first space until the end, and one can leave safely. However, it is also possible that one will end up with nothing, and it would be a waste of time."    

Purple Gold Marquis said indifferently.    

Chen Xiao nodded and had some understanding. He asked, "Then what about the second level?"    

"The higher you go, the more dangerous it is. At the same time, the possibility of gaining something is also greater. Usually, the cultivators who enter will be too greedy and will put themselves in danger. In this way, they will definitely encounter misfortune."    

Purple Gold Marquis said.    

After Chen Xiao heard this, he said with a face full of understanding, "So that's how it is."    

"Have you considered it? Do you still want to go to the Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda?" Purple Gold Marquis asked with a smile.    

After pondering for a long time, Chen Xiao replied, "There is no hurry. The matter of the Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda can be slowly thought about. In any case, there are still two thousand years before the divine pagoda opens. Right now, the most important thing is the Black Sky Divine Sect. Big Brother Purple Thistle asked me to come here for this matter, right?"    

Once he started to talk about serious matters, Marquis Zi Jin's expression immediately became serious, and even a bit serious.    

He took out a jade slip and pushed it in front of Chen Xiao.    

Chen Xiao took it over and used his Spiritual Sense to read it. When he looked at it carefully, his expression couldn't help but change, "How could this be? Three Tribulation Transcenders have already died?"    

After seeing this news, he was also extremely shocked. The information in the jade slip said that the Tribulation Transcenders on the west side of the Merchant Road had already lost three in a hundred years.    

In just a short hundred years, they had lost three people. Such a loss was already very big.    

Even for the Purple Cloud City, it was still a bit unbearable.    

Coincidentally, this period of time was also the time when Chen Xiao was leaving. It had to be said that this was too coincidental. This meant that the Black Heaven God Cult was doing this on purpose.    

"Yes. When you killed the leader of the Black Heaven God Cult who was possessed by the evil spirit outside White Jade City, you were injured by the evil spirit. You had no choice but to return to the Purple Cloud City to heal. In these hundred years, the cultivators of the Black Heaven God Cult have attacked us frequently. We have already lost three Tribulation Transcenders. The other party is clearly coming with a fierce momentum, wanting to nibble away at the strength of our Purple Cloud City bit by bit. It is truly despicable."    

Marquis Zi Jin said sternly.
