Chapter 18 — The Bronze Divine Hall!

【You proceed onward, and after who knows how long, you see aBronze Divine Hallstanding within a valley.】

【Curious, you walk forward. Just as you are about to enter and inspect it, a voice sounds by your ear.】

【"Young man! I advise you to give up. Since this secret realm was discovered, no one has ever been able to enter thisBronze Divine Hall!"】

【The moment you hear this voice, your entire body trembles.】

【Because you are more familiar with this voice than anyone—last time, when you activated the talentI Want It All, it was this very voice's owner who slapped you to death with a single palm.】

【"May I ask who Senior is? Please reveal yourself and enlighten this junior!"】

【On the surface, you appear to be asking for guidance, but in reality, you want to lure him out, memorize his appearance and aura, and kill him in the future once your cultivation is sufficient.】

【"This old man isWan Yemo, the Second Elder of theMyriad Demon Sect!"】

【As soon as the words fall, a black-haired old man appears before you.】

【"ThisBronze Divine Hallis extremely strange. No matter what a person's cultivation is, it cannot be opened by brute force, so we believe that a specific key must be required to enter."】

【"It is said that within thisFallen Immortal Secret Realm, the things inside theBronze Divine Hallare the most precious of all!"】

【Upon hearing this, you hurriedly ask him what the key is.】

【ButWan Yemoshakes his head and tells you, "No one knows what the key is. It is even hard to say whether a key truly exists at all. This is all just speculation."】

【You are greatly disappointed by this result and walk up to theBronze Divine Hallto examine it.】

【You are drawn to the material of theBronze Divine Hall, and before you realize it, you place your hand on the bronze door.】

【The very next second, theBronze Divine Hallslowly opens before the shocked eyes of both you andWan Yemo.】

【**Wan Yemo** has no time to think and swiftly flies toward theBronze Divine Hall.】

【But just as he is about to enter theBronze Divine Hall—】

【He is suddenly blasted backward by some unknown force and crashes heavily onto the ground, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.】

【"How can this be???"】

【"TheBronze Divine Hallhas clearly already opened, so why can't I enter?"】

【"In ten thousand years, this is the only time theBronze Divine Hallhas ever opened—why can't I get in?"】

【"No! I refuse to accept this!"】

【Suddenly, you notice him looking at you with a strange expression, and you know things have gone very wrong.】

【At this moment, you want to run, but it is already too late. Wan Yemohas already locked onto you.】

【Left with no other choice, you turn and dash straight toward theBronze Divine Hall!】

【"It's useless! You won't be able to get in. Be obedient and let me capture you, so I can see what secret you have on you that actually allowed you to open theBronze Divine Hall!"】

【Just asWan Yemois about to seize you, you pass through the curtain of light in the bronze gate and enter the interior of theBronze Divine Hall.】

【After you enter, the gates of theBronze Divine Hallslowly close.】

【Outside, Wan Yemoglares at you with a face full of fury.】

【Although the crisis is temporarily resolved, you know that he will certainly wait outside theBronze Divine Hallfor you to come out.】

"Just as expected, thisWan Yemocan't be trusted!"

Su Minghad not expected that even in such circumstances, there were still such parasites among humanity.

All of that scheming was directed entirely at his own kind. If even a fraction of it had been used against theBizarre Insects, Qingzhouwould not have ended up in such a state.

Fortunately, this was only a simulation. He still had many chances to guard againstWan Yemo.

It was even possible that after his cultivation advanced, he could kill him directly.

The Second Elder of theMyriad Demon Sect—if compared to theQingyun Sect—

ThenWan Yemo's cultivation should be at theDeity Transformationstage.

After figuring that out, Su Mingcontinued looking at the simulator.

【After entering theBronze Divine Hall, you discover that the space inside is enormous.】

【Statues of various figures are placed on both the left and right sides, but you do not recognize any of them.】

【You wander through the great hall and discover that the walls are covered entirely in murals.】

【These murals seem to record certain events that occurred during theRemote Ancient Era.】

【Through the murals, you see that one day, a gigantic insect tore open a spatial rift and descended upon theCanglan Realm.】

【Afterward, the top powers of theCanglan Realmjoined forces and killed this insect.】

【Later, for reasons unknown, all sect forces united and began attacking the sky.】

【"The sky?"】

【Looking at what is depicted in the mural, you are instantly confused. Why would everyone unite to attack the sky?】

【"Could it be that the 'sky' here does not actually mean the sky, but rather…"】

【At this thought, a bold idea emerges in your heart.】

【The Heavenly Dao!】

【You suspect that what they joined forces to fight was not the sky, but theHeavenly Dao.】

【It is only that in the murals, what is shown makes it look as though everyone is attacking the sky itself.】

【Seeing this, you begin to feel that matters are becoming more and more complicated.】

【TheRemote Ancient Erawas the most prosperous period of cultivation in theCanglan Realm, so why would all cultivators attack theHeavenly Dao?】

Seeing this, Su Mingcould not help but draw in a sharp breath.

He felt as though he had uncovered some earth-shattering secret!

If whatWan Yemosaid was true—that no one had ever entered thisBronze Divine Hallbefore—then he was the only person who had seen these murals.

WhatSu Mingwas most curious about now was why the cultivators of theRemote Ancient Eradid not deal with theBizarre Insects, but instead chose to target theHeavenly Dao.

After all, theHeavenly Daoshould have been standing on the same side as the cultivators of theCanglan Realm.

Su Mingcould not make sense of any of it, so he continued reading.

---

【You cannot make sense of any of this at all. Judging from the present age, theBizarre Insectsare clearly the greatest problem.】

【Then how exactly did theseBizarre Insectscome to rule theCanglan Realm? You have no way of knowing.】

【Because in the mural just now, you saw aBizarre Insectinvade theCanglan Realm, but it was quickly slain, and afterward no otherBizarre Insectsinvaded.】

【The murals come to a complete end here, and you do not know what happened afterward.】

【Just as you are bewildered and at a loss, the eyes of all the statues on both sides of the hall light up.】

【Immediately afterward, rays of light shoot out from the eyes of the statues and fly toward you.】

【Not long later, all the statues return to stillness.】

【When you open your eyes, you stare at those statues in disbelief.】

【Those rays of light just now were all divine abilities—each one was a divine ability wielded by the statue's owner in life.】

【This is a place of inheritance, and through the inheritance you just received, you come to understand that the reason you were able to enter is because only those who have reached theQi Refining Extreme Realmcan be chosen by the hall.】

【After recovering from your shock, you sit down and begin cultivating the techniques you have just inherited.】

【**Complete Great Desolate Heaven-Imprisoning Finger**!】

【**Taixu Sword Art**!】

【**Reincarnation Undying Scripture**!】

【**Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art**!】

【**Heavenly Evolution Art**!】

【**Great Void Technique**!】

...

【In total, you master six top-tier cultivation techniques. Without exception, every one of these techniques can be cultivated all the way to the highest realm of theCanglan Realm.】
