Chapter 399 The Intruder
"You don't understand, she just said I'm a good person."
Xiao Weiqing was completely speechless. "You've got good guy stress syndrome, haven't you?"
"Maybe."
"Alas, my love ended before it even began."
Xiao Weiqing chuckled, "Giving up like that?"
Lou Xiaoxing said, "What can we do? We've already broken the ice and they've given us the 'friend zone' card. We can't keep bothering them, can we?"
"I didn't expect you to be so principled."
Lou Xiaoxing's face darkened. "Isn't that obvious?"
"I've said it before, I never force a woman."
Xiao Weiqing said, "Alright, then stop lamenting and focus on your cultivation."
Ignoring Lou Xiaoxing, Xiao Weiqing returned to his room. Tonight, he planned to absorb the Nirvana Stone again.
......
......
Inside the iceberg.
The same hall, the same instruments for refining Nirvana Stone.
The only difference is that, compared to the hall on the volcano side, the overall color scheme of the building here is cooler.
Wow~~
The first door opened.
Ruan Yisen came out; his combat uniform was tattered after a month of fighting.
"Wow, Sen, you've killed another Tier 3 Nirvana Warrior."
"This is your fifth time killing this shield-wielding Nirvana warrior, doesn't that mean you've already obtained ten Tier 3 Nirvana Stones?"
"That's right, Brother Sen's strength is obvious to all."
Ruan Yisen nodded, "Haha...not bad, who among you will give up a Nirvana Warrior?"
"Brother Sen, you can have mine," said a man with a long spear.
original.
When Ruan Yisen and his group of five arrived here, they initially agreed that those with lower strength would challenge first, and those who could kill third-level Nirvana Warriors would take turns challenging each day to ensure fairness.
Until later.
Ruan Yisen killed the Nirvana Warrior five times, unarmed, but found that the Nirvana Warrior's strength had increased after the five kills, making it more difficult to kill.
Therefore, each of the five chose two Nirvana Warriors as their fixed challenge targets.
No one will affect the others.
Everyone wants to challenge themselves with what they are good at, but once the number of kills reaches five, the Nirvana Warrior's strength increases, and they can no longer obtain more Nirvana Stones, which is unfair to some people.
For example, Ruan Yisen initially chose the unarmed Nirvana Warrior, who was easier for him to deal with. However, there were others who were equally skilled at dealing with unarmed Nirvana Warriors. If both of them challenged each other, the number of kills would quickly reach five.
and so.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, the group divided themselves into Nirvana Warriors, each relying on their own abilities and not interfering with each other.
However, if someone were to kill both of their Nirvana Warriors, then the weaker person would have to give up one of their Nirvana Stones. This requires considering not only their own interests but also the interests of the empire.
After all, the more Nirvana Stones they acquire, the better, because that means the empire will allocate more to their families.
Today, this Nirvana Warrior wielding the shield has been slain five times by Ruan Yisen. The day after tomorrow, he will need to challenge other Nirvana Warriors.
"Thank you, Gong Nian."
"By the way, has anyone successfully constructed a divine body?"
Gong Nian said, "Brother Sen, it's not that easy. I estimate it will take another month before we succeed."
"Yes, Brother Sen, this time it all depends on you. If you enter the eighth realm, you'll definitely be able to kill a second-level Nirvana warrior, and then the second-level Nirvana Stone will be within your grasp."
"Not at all, I'm not ready yet. It will probably take a week before I can activate my divine body," Ruan Yisen said modestly, waving his hand.
Despite his words, Ruan Yisen's smile revealed that he thoroughly enjoyed the flattery.
"Hmph, we haven't even touched the third door, let alone the fourth. What's there to be proud of?" Qu Yi's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over them, stopping everyone's laughter.
Ruan Yisen sighed slightly, "Qu Yi is right. We are too weak. We call ourselves geniuses, but we can't even see the shadow of the second empress."
When everyone heard Ruan Yisen mention the second empress, they all showed expressions of admiration.
The second-generation empress defeated a first-class Nirvana warrior, entered the fourth gate, and obtained a great treasure. This was something that the royal Yun clan had never denied; they always took it as true.
That was decades ago. The conditions for cultivation were harsh, and even the second-generation empress accomplished what ordinary people could not.
In contrast, they...
He was blocked by the weakest third-class Nirvana warriors, and even second-class Nirvana warriors could not defeat him.
There's really nothing to be proud of.
Ruan Yisen sighed, "Let's forget about the fourth gate. I guess only Xiao Weiqing will have the chance to go in."
Everyone fell into thought upon hearing this.
Someone asked, "Is Xiao Weiqing really that strong?"
Ruan Yisen said, "Based on the current intelligence, their strength definitely exceeds the eighth realm, and they may have reached the middle or even late stage of the eighth realm."
"Really?"
The eighth realm is known as the Divine Body Realm, and there is an insurmountable gap between the seventh and eighth realms.
This gap is even greater than the gap between the fourth and fifth realms.
Every one of them present is a top-notch genius, enjoying top-tier family resources, yet none of them would dare claim that they could defeat an eighth-realm expert, or even the most ordinary Divine Body Realm expert.
Just as Ruan Yisen was about to answer.
"Om~ Om~ Om~~~"
Inside the lobby.
The flashing red light is a warning light on the fourth door.
At the same time, a warning-like sound is emitted.
"Huh?"
"What's going on?"
"Why is the door working fine, but the lights are flashing and there's an alarm going off?"
Everyone was confused, as it was the first time they had ever seen a flashing red light accompanied by a sound, and none of them went through the fourth door.
"I don't know, it's not recorded in the documents."
"This sound doesn't sound right, let's move away."
"Brother Sen, you're being too sensitive. Our Vermilion Bird Empire has been to this place countless times. What problems could there be? Maybe it's just broken from being here for too long. We could just go in and steal the treasure!" Gong Nian joked.
"Gong Nian, better safe than sorry."
"Okay, whatever you say."
Just then.
Wow~~
The fourth door slowly opened from bottom to top.
"Huh? This is really bad!" Gong Nian exclaimed in surprise, then overjoyed, "Does that mean we can go in and find out what's going on?"
Sudden.
Tap~ Tap~~~
Footsteps could be heard coming from inside the door.
"Be careful!"
Ruan Yisen reminded him.
Gong Nian also heard the sound and stepped back.
however.
A tall figure swept past.
When everyone saw the figure clearly, their pupils contracted sharply.
There was a man dressed in animal clothing, looking like an ancient person. His exposed purple skin was marked with several unidentified patterns, and his large, fan-like hands were holding a bloody head.
Because the purple-clad man was so powerful, his head was deformed and his facial features became distorted, revealing Gong Nian's face.
"Gong Nian!!"
"Kill him!"
The remaining four reacted instantly, conjured weapons, and surrounded the man.
"%￥*@!"
Boom~
The man took a step forward.
With a single punch, he sent a seventh-realm expert from the Vermilion Bird Empire flying.
Wow~~
This seventh-realm cultivator coughed up a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward, crashing into the hall wall.
"Damn it!"
Enraged, Ruan Yisen took action.
