Chapter 800: Are They Heavenly Humans or Angels?
In an instant, the gazes of everyone present focused on Er Gouzi!
Xu Que was also stunned and asked in surprise: "You've been to this place too? Why don't you just fly up to the sky then?"
"I can't fly up! If I could, this God Venerable would have gone up long ago!" Er Gouzi said helplessly, then its gaze swept toward the pitch-black cave passage ahead, and it directly transmitted its voice to Xu Que: "This God Venerable has an impression; back then, in the identity of the Qilin Ancestor, I had been to this place!"
"Qilin Ancestor? Holy crap, wouldn't that be from around the same era as Zhang Tiandao?" Xu Que furrowed his brows. If that were really the case, wouldn't the Space-Breaking Talisman have been taken away by Er Gouzi's past life?
"No, this God Venerable should be many years older than him. This place is not a killing array at all, but the territory of a mysterious tribe!" Er Gouzi said with a solemn expression.
Xu Que couldn't help but be stunned: "Er Gouzi, are you telling the truth or lying? This transformation seems a bit too big, from a killing array to the territory of a mysterious tribe. Wouldn't everything written on that animal skin of Zhang Tiandao be fake?"
"No, after all, besides this wise and martial God Venerable, not many people knew about this secret back then. That Zhang Tiandao must have been kept in the dark!" Er Gouzi immediately revealed a proud smile.
"Er Gouzi, before I take action to beat you, you'd better tell me everything you know first!" Xu Que said with a dark face.
"Holy crap! Kid, do you think this God Venerable is afraid of you? You actually dare to threaten this God Venerable. Hmph, I'll tell you then!" Er Gouzi couldn't even stay tough for a second; seeing Xu Que raise his hand, it immediately cowered and began to explain.
"This place is home to a very ancient and mysterious tribe called the Heavenly Humans. Because they are born with a pair of white wings, logically speaking, they are the descendants of a union between the human race and the demon beast race. However, their bloodline originates from ancient times, belonging to the first batch of human-demon beast hybrids. The men are handsome and dashing, and the women are enchanting and beautiful, so they consider themselves nobler than other demon tribes and call themselves the Heavenly Human Tribe!"
"Bullshit, who are you trying to fool? That's called an angel!" Xu Que couldn't help but say.
Growing a pair of white feathered wings on their backs—that's definitely an angel, no mistake there!
"An-gel? Holy crap, kid, can you be a bit more civilized? They are Heavenly Humans, not angels! But it's rumored that this tribe is very arrogant. You can call them angels or demons, I don't care, but this God Venerable doesn't want to go in!" Er Gouzi said, turning around and wanting to run.
"You still want to run?"
Xu Que had anticipated this; he reached out and grabbed, instantly seizing Er Gouzi's dog head and pinning it under his crotch!
"Awooo!" Er Gouzi immediately let out its signature miserable scream, shouting heart-rendingly: "Kid, let go, what do you want to do?"
The crowd present was also startled by this sudden scene, their eyes widening slightly.
What does this guy want to do?
That's a dog, he can't be trying to do *that*, right?
"Smack!"
At this moment, Xu Que slapped Er Gouzi on the forehead and glared: "Behave yourself. Confess and be lenient, resist and be strict. Tell me everything you know clearly, otherwise, you'll be in a bowl later!"
"Holy crap!" Er Gouzi realized it couldn't struggle anymore, so it had to give up and confessed: "I told you, this place is the Heavenly Human Tribe's territory! This tribe is arrogant and believes that only those who pass their tests are qualified to enter their territory! So, starting from this passage, it's a test. There are countless bizarre restrictions inside; normal people would find it hard to come out alive!"
"Wait, a test? In that case, what Zhang Tiandao wrote on the animal skin is very likely all true?" Xu Que reacted instantly.
If these were tests, it would explain why there were such strange array rules.
Two people go in, and there are only two choices: either walk to the end together, or one of them betrays the other and walks out unscathed!
Zhang Tiandao went in with that woman back then, but the woman ran away, causing him to be trapped inside alone.
"How would this God Venerable know if it's true or false? Back then, this God Venerable just came to take a look, and it's not the end of the Immortal Road at all, so I just left!" Er Gouzi replied; it actually had a very clear impression of that part of its memory.
Xu Que nodded, pondered for a moment, and asked: "How powerful is this tribe? Could there be existences at the peak of the Body Integration Stage, or even... the Immortal Realm?"
"The Immortal Realm is impossible. If there really were Immortal Realm existences, they wouldn't need to hide here; they would have gone out and destroyed the Xuanzhen Continent long ago! However, the peak of the Body Integration Stage is very likely to exist!" Er Gouzi replied.
Xu Que heard this, and the corners of his mouth immediately curled up.
No Immortal Realm?
If there's no Immortal Realm, what are they acting so arrogant for? How dare they set up tests here?
Hmph, this King of Acting Cool will go in and find the Space-Breaking Talisman now. If you guys dare to cause trouble for me, I will personally go and set up a new style for you, engage in moral and civilized construction, and promote national traditional culture!
Thinking of this, Xu Que's eyes couldn't help but shine, as if he saw a huge amount of Acting Cool Points right before his eyes.
Although in a place like this, he generally didn't like to cause trouble.
But there was no other way; Zhang Tiandao was in the test set by the Heavenly Human Tribe, and the Space-Breaking Talisman was very likely inside too, so he had to go in!
"Er Gouzi, hurry up, come in with me!" Xu Que patted Er Gouzi's dog head and said.
"Holy crap, kid, are you crazy? There might really be peak Body Integration Stage experts inside!" Er Gouzi immediately shouted.
The crowd present only heard Er Gouzi's voice at this moment and were startled.
"Peak Body Integration Stage?"
"There are peak Body Integration Stage experts inside? No way, right?"
"Impossible, this is the Immortal Ascension Road, how could a peak Body Integration Stage expert get in?"
The few Imperial Palace experts immediately said.
Er Gouzi couldn't help but sneer: "That's because you guys are ignorant. This place is the Heavenly Human Tribe's cave mansion, a world of its own. They took root here over ten thousand years ago, so there must be peak Body Integration Stage experts!"
"Heavenly Human Tribe?" Everyone was bewildered upon hearing this; clearly, they had never heard of this tribe!
Xu Que shook his head: "No time to explain so much. I advise you guys to leave, because the end of the Immortal Ascension Road is not here at all!"
After saying this, he looked at Jiang Hongyan.
Jiang Hongyan smiled slightly, nodded, and stepped forward.
The few Imperial Palace experts were instantly shocked: "Holy Venerable, you... you also want to go in?"
"Yes!" Jiang Hongyan replied softly, having already arrived by Xu Que's side.
The few Imperial Palace experts couldn't help but feel conflicted. Logically speaking, no matter what danger there was, they definitely had to accompany the Holy Venerable, through thick and thin.
But now that they heard there were likely peak Body Integration Stage experts inside, these few people hesitated. Entering was difficult, and retreating was also difficult; it was truly a dilemma.
"Let's go, Er Gouzi, don't think about running away, you're definitely wading through this muddy water!" At this moment, Xu Que laughed, grabbed Er Gouzi, who was preparing to sneak away, took Jiang Hongyan's hand, and walked toward the front.
Swoosh!
A white light suddenly flashed in the cave, like a barrier. As Xu Que and Jiang Hongyan walked in, the figures of the two and Er Gouzi instantly vanished without a trace!
Subsequently, the white light in the cave dimmed, and it returned to being pitch-black once again.
The few Imperial Palace experts, including the Lingxiu Pavilion members and the remaining scattered cultivators, looked at each other in dismay.
"Forget it, anyway, if we go out, we probably won't have much of a chance to live. We might as well follow the Holy Venerable in!" An Imperial Palace expert looked at the group of people behind him, felt a chill in his heart, and turned to walk toward the place where Xu Que had just disappeared.
The others were stunned for a moment, didn't say much, and followed one after another.
Because they knew that too many people had witnessed them killing Wei Zixun; it was hard to guarantee that no one would leak the news. Now that only a few of them were left, it was impossible to silence everyone present.
So rather than going out and worrying, it was better to bite the bullet and follow; perhaps there might be some fortune!
"What should we do? Should we go in?"
"The Heavenly Human Tribe has existed for over ten thousand years, perhaps... it's worth a try!"
The many female disciples of Lingxiu Pavilion also hesitated for a moment, but in the end, they made their choice. They decided to follow in to see what was happening and seek fortune.
"Retreat!"
The remaining group of scattered cultivators and demon beast clans didn't hesitate for too long before turning around and retreating without looking back!
Their way of survival was to believe that the risks far outweighed the fortune, and when that fortune might not even exist, they chose to leave directly!
【Damn, it's actually 7000 monthly tickets, I still owe eight chapters, so angry!】
