Chapter 610: The Key to the Temple

Luo Tian looked at the ancient sword and asked in surprise, "Is this the Temple of Time and Space?"

The other party immediately explained, "No, this is the key to the Temple of Time and Space. The true Temple of Time and Space was buried in the Heavenly Dragon Burial Ground along with Lord Tian Long! However, without the key, it is impossible to open the Temple of Time and Space."

Upon hearing this, Luo Tian felt a slight stir in his heart.

He had previously heard Bai Langtian say that there was a supreme treasure within the Heavenly Dragon Burial Ground that could help the Tianyuan Realm survive its crisis.

It was just that even Bai Langtian could not clearly explain the information regarding this treasure.

Now it seemed that it was highly likely to be this Temple of Time and Space.

It was just that they did not know the key to opening the Temple of Time and Space was actually here at the Hidden Dragon Stele.

No wonder the few human immortals had not found a trace of it after so many years.

It turned out they had been looking in the wrong place.

"Take this key and refine it. When the Heavenly Dragon Burial Ground opens next time, you must refine at least thirty percent of it!" the Dragon Clan Guardian said.

Although he said this, he let out a long sigh in his heart.

He knew there was still a hundred years until the next opening of the Heavenly Dragon Burial Ground.

In such a long time, wanting to refine thirty percent of the ancient sword was too difficult.

However, on the other side, Luo Tian reached out and gripped the hilt of the sword.

Whoosh!

In an instant, spiritual energy surged.

"Hmm?" The Dragon Clan Guardian was stunned, but after a moment, he understood what Luo Tian was doing.

This guy was actually starting to refine it right now.

"Young Master, this matter cannot be rushed. This sword itself is also an immortal artifact; it is impossible to finish refining it in a short time."

He spoke to advise him.

However...

Hum!

A ray of spiritual light suddenly bloomed from the ancient sword in front of Luo Tian.

"What?"

The Dragon Clan Guardian was shocked.

That was a sign that only appeared when an ancient sword had been refined to a certain degree.

Now, it had actually appeared.

Didn't that mean that in a few days, Luo Tian would be able to refine it completely?

Clang!

The next instant, the spiritual light on the ancient sword surged again, and a primitive sword intent scattered in all directions.

Luo Tian waved his hand, and the ancient sword floated up in front of him, then, as if fawning, it continuously emitted sword hums toward Luo Tian.

"This..."

The Dragon Clan Guardian was completely dumbfounded.

This ancient sword had been in his hands for who knows how many years.

He knew best how aloof this thing was.

Even he himself would occasionally be met with its backlash attacks when trying to get close to it.

Yet, now this ancient sword was actually fawning over Luo Tian?

What was more critical was that looking at the spiritual light on the ancient sword, it clearly looked like it had already been completely refined!

He had initially been worried that Luo Tian wouldn't be able to refine it to thirty percent within a hundred years.

But this reality was too much of a slap in the face.

Before he had even finished speaking, Luo Tian had already completely refined it!

On the other side, Luo Tian reached out to grip the ancient sword and swung it a few times; in an instant, sword intent soared wildly.

The entire space began to tremble violently again.

"Young Master, please hold back! If this continues, the Hidden Dragon Stele will be completely destroyed!" the Dragon Clan Guardian shouted.

"Ah, sorry, I forgot." Upon hearing this, Luo Tian hurriedly withdrew his hand.

Afterward, Luo Tian asked, "Now, can I go to the Heavenly Dragon Burial Ground?"

The Dragon Clan Guardian choked for a moment and said, "Of course! You have already completely refined this sword; the probability of opening the Temple of Time and Space is basically one hundred percent!"

"But before that, there is one more thing I must entrust to you, Young Master!" the Dragon Clan Guardian said in a deep voice.

"What is it?" Luo Tian asked.

The Dragon Clan Guardian took a deep breath and said, "Lord Tian Long once said that he left the hope for the Dragon Clan's revival within the Temple of Time and Space! If you open the Temple of Time and Space, I hope you can help my Dragon Clan once..."

Luo Tian nodded and said, "No problem. After all, since I've taken your things, I owe your Dragon Clan a favor; helping you revitalize is only right."

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Clan Guardian became grateful once again.

Afterward, an ancient map floated in front of Luo Tian.

"Young Master, this map is a detailed map of the Heavenly Dragon Burial Ground. I have marked the opportunities and dangers hidden inside! With this, you will surely have a great harvest in the Heavenly Dragon Burial Ground!"

Luo Tian's eyes lit up as he took the map and said, "Then many thanks!"

"Young Master, farewell!"

As the Dragon Clan Guardian spoke, a force pushed Luo Tian's consciousness, and it quickly returned to his body.

Whoosh!

The next instant, Luo Tian returned to the front of the Hidden Dragon Stele.

The Hidden Dragon Stele in front of him had golden light reaching the heavens and the earth.

And in front of him floated that ancient sword and that map.

At this moment, countless pairs of eyes around the Hidden Dragon Stele were staring at these two items.

Although they didn't know exactly what these two items were, there was no doubt they were definitely top-tier explosive items!

After all, this was the reward for the Hidden Dragon Stele's golden dragon Qi.

And it was even a powerful dragon Qi that had no predecessor and would have no successor!

Luo Tian clearly felt the envy and greed of the people around him.

Of course, there was also more malice.

Regarding this, Luo Tian didn't care; he waved his hand to collect both items into his own space ring, then floated back to his original position.

"Congratulations to Young Master Luo Tian for obtaining the Dragon Clan's supreme treasure!" From afar, Shui Yuexi piled on a smiling face and said to Luo Tian.

"Hmm." Luo Tian just gave a light hum in response.

Then, Luo Tian turned his head to look at Zhuge Jian.

At this moment, Zhuge Jian's face was ashen, his appearance decadent, completely devoid of that arrogant aura from before.

"Zhuge Jian, who won this bet?" Luo Tian asked, looking at Zhuge Jian.

The latter's lips twitched a few times, then he smiled bitterly and said, "Fine, I keep my word; I admit defeat! From now on, I, Zhuge Jian, am willing to pledge my loyalty to you!"

Boom!

Once the words were out, the surroundings shook again.

"No way? The Young Master of Mount Jianhuang actually chose to pledge loyalty to someone?"

"This is big news; if it spreads, it will definitely shake the Central Continent!"

"The Young Master of Mount Jianhuang is actually pledging loyalty to someone from the Northern Territory... Mount Jianhuang will probably be the first to disagree; if things go wrong, it might trigger a Northern Expedition by Mount Jianhuang!"

The crowd discussed one after another.

And Luo Tian was slightly surprised.

He had originally thought that this Zhuge Jian would quibble a few times and use the fact that both of them had golden dragon Qi to make excuses.

But he didn't expect this guy to directly acknowledge it.

This kid was quite an upright person.

"Very good. From now on, you can follow me. When the time comes, I will take you with me to wipe out the Nine Extinction Catastrophe!" Luo Tian nodded and said.

Zhuge Jian's eyes lit up and he said, "You have this ambition too?"

Luo Tian nodded and said, "That goes without saying!"

The reason Luo Tian made the bet with him and had him pledge loyalty to himself was actually because he valued his attitude toward resisting the Nine Extinction Catastrophe.

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Jian laughed loudly and said, "Good! Since that's the case, my pledging loyalty to you is not a waste of my cultivation!"
