Chapter 809: Liang Liang (Second update, requesting everything)

"This guy's luck is truly not very good!"

Li Zhangsheng was stunned for a moment, then, as if he had thought of something, he couldn't help but shake his head with amusement.

During the recent exploration, Li Zhangsheng had intercepted a contestant. Under his "gentle diplomacy," the other party, moved by Li Zhangsheng's sincerity, told him everything they knew about the rules of the inner zone of the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm, including some rules regarding the core zone.

The time for this round had not yet ended, but the reason it ended early was simply because the treasures on this Floating Island had been completely divided up, which led to the early conclusion.

Xiang Yutian had not obtained a single treasure, so naturally, he lost the possibility of advancing.

Originally, with Xiang Yutian's strength, the probability of advancing to the next round was very high, but his luck was truly poor. Not only did the treasure he had finally managed to get his hands on throw itself into Li Zhangsheng's arms, but he was also eliminated early before he could even go looking for the next treasure; it was simply a tragedy.

At the Ends of the Earth, Xiang Yutian's figure appeared, and along with him appeared more than twenty other people. They were all eliminated contestants, including Wu Zetao and Zhao Rui.

Among these people, not only was Zhao Rui's expression the calmest, but it even carried a hint of a smile. His gains in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm were not insignificant, and crucially, he had become a New Pseudo-King.

Zhao Rui knew very well in his heart that all of this was brought to him by Li Zhangsheng's Luck Incense Candle.

Under the guidance of the Luck Incense Candle, Zhao Rui had luckily received a bye in both the first and second rounds, and among the treasures harvested in the second round, he was lucky enough to have one Demon Pet advance to the Demon King level, making him a New Pseudo-King.

When it came to the third round, he was again extremely lucky to encounter a Sixth Rank contestant.

Before the third round, the weak had basically all been eliminated, and Sixth Rank contestants could be said to be as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. Thus, relying on his Demon King level Demon Pet, Zhao Rui easily defeated his opponent and successfully advanced to the inner zone.

However, in the inner zone, he was not so lucky. Not only did he fail to seize a single treasure, but he was also in constant danger, and once all the treasures were divided up, he was teleported out.

Compared to Zhao Rui, Wu Zetao's luck was a bit worse, but under the guidance of the Luck Incense Candle, he also obtained a few treasures that were useful to him.

What depressed him was that among these few treasures, there were none that could assist in breaking through to the Demon King level.

This was also Wu Zetao's biggest regret. The key was that he was 29 years old; by next year, his age would exceed the threshold for the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm.

Under these circumstances, he didn't know in what year or month he would be able to advance to Emperor Rank, or if he would even be able to achieve it in his lifetime.

Compared to them, Xiang Yutian's complexion was very ugly; he hadn't expected that he would be so unlucky recently.

Thinking that all these unlucky experiences were related to Li Zhangsheng, Xiang Yutian's chest heaved violently, filled with indignation. He wanted to tear up the item list in his hand, but he really couldn't bear to.

If he obtained the Darkness Profound Meaning Crystal, Xiang Yutian would likely be able to quickly become an Emperor Rank. If he couldn't get it, he might have to wait another few years.

Xiang Yutian couldn't wait, and he couldn't afford to wait. If he wanted to compete for the throne of the Kailing Empire, the longer time dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for him.

His eldest brother had advanced to Emperor Rank last year and had already roped in many forces. If he waited another few years, he would only be able to sing a song of "Liang Liang."

In this way, if Xiang Yutian wanted to become an Emperor Rank in the near future, he could only set his sights on the Darkness Profound Meaning Crystal in Li Zhangsheng's hands.

Of course, he could also look for other contestants to trade with, but these contestants would basically use them for themselves, and the probability was so small it could be ignored.

Xiang Yutian suppressed the indignation in his heart and carefully looked at the item list in his hand, discovering that there were many item names on it that Li Zhangsheng had not yet reported, but these items were all only Heavenly Essence Grade.

He knew very well in his heart that to exchange Heavenly Essence Grade items for a Darkness Profound Meaning Crystal, a certain quantity must be met; otherwise, why would Li Zhangsheng trade with Xiang Yutian?

Xiang Yutian carefully looked at these item names and pondered, feeling that he could start with the Wood Element Crystal and the Nether Moon Lotus.

The Wood Element Crystal went without saying; among this batch of Heavenly Essence Grade items, the difficulty of collecting it could be said to be the lowest. With the forces Xiang Yutian controlled, he was confident he could collect a certain quantity in the short term.

As for the Nether Moon Lotus, Xiang Yutian knew it was a specialty of the Abyssal Nether Moon Lake. The reason he started with the Nether Moon Lotus was mainly because an Abyss Gate within the Kailing Empire was the Abyss Plane where the Nether Moon Lake was located. Occasionally, Stronger individuals and plane merchants would bring Nether Moon Lotus out from there to trade with the Kailing Empire.

Because the Nether Moon Lotus was not very useful to the Kailing Empire, the trading volume had always been small, but Xiang Yutian could completely rely on the power he held to obtain more Nether Moon Lotus through this trade.

Xiang Yutian believed that as long as he collected a certain quantity of Wood Element Crystals and Nether Moon Lotus, and collected other items along the way, he believed it wouldn't be long before he could trade with Li Zhangsheng for the Darkness Profound Meaning Crystal.

As for forcibly robbing Li Zhangsheng, Xiang Yutian had thought about it, but he really didn't have much confidence. Instead, he would completely offend Li Zhangsheng, and he feared he wouldn't even be able to sleep soundly in the future.

In Xiang Yutian's view, this was truly unwise. The key was that Li Zhangsheng had also obtained Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi, and if his performance in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm was excellent, he would have the opportunity to become a target of the Heavenly Dao's attention.

Thinking of this, the indignation in Xiang Yutian's heart lowered a lot without him realizing it. Compared to becoming an Emperor Rank, easing the conflict between him and Li Zhangsheng was actually more beneficial to him.

Compared to Dou Yuanhua, Xiang Yutian did not value his own face. In his view, as long as it was beneficial to him, he was willing to lower himself, and he could also put aside the grudges between the two sides.

Likewise, such a person could not be treated as a close friend, otherwise, one wouldn't even know when they had been sold out by him.

Not mentioning Xiang Yutian's schemes, in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm, after Xiang Yutian was eliminated, Li Zhangsheng drove his Demon Pet into the Space Channel.

Li Zhangsheng did not light the Luck Incense Candle because this Floating Island only had this one Space Channel; there was simply no need to waste it.

The difference was that besides Li Zhangsheng, three other people entered the Space Channel, namely two Top-tier Pseudo-Kings and one Senior Pseudo-King.

Li Zhangsheng didn't recognize any of them; they were all contestants from other regions.

When they arrived at the special space, the four of them kept a distance from each other, filled with mutual vigilance.

At this moment, this special space underwent an inexplicable change and was quickly divided into four connected yet independent areas.

At the same time, all four of them received a piece of information; these messages were related to the assessment of this special space.

To advance to the next round, they still had to pass the test here.

Even if they failed, the Heavenly Dao rewards they would receive would still exceed those of Xiang Yutian and the others.
