Chapter 417: Chapter 214: The Ghost King’s Yin Pole Transformation, Inheriting the Silver Soul Secret Treasure Tower (Part 2)

Add him!

Only Chou Ox, Yin Tiger, Chen Long, and Si Snake are left!

Four of them!

On the platform, the few individuals exchanged glances, all sensing a peculiar emotion.

No one expected that only four people would truly emerge from the passage.

Silence fell, the atmosphere was dead still, every person was acutely aware of the oppressive presence around them, with apprehension and mistrust quietly spreading through the air.

The oppressive atmosphere shrouded the platform, with each person’s eyes gleaming with obscure lights.

As the saying goes, wealth moves people’s hearts, not to mention the inheritance of the legendary King of Loose Cultivators, Divine Thought, the ancestor?

This terrifying figure from a thousand years ago, who fought against three Golden Core Cultivators from the Taiyin Profound Celestial Sect single-handedly, even though it ended in a grim conclusion, managed an extreme one-for-one exchange, taking down one Core Formation from Taiyin Profound Celestial Sect.

The inheritance he left behind, don’t even mention Purple Mansion Cultivators, even a Core Formation cultivator couldn’t possibly remain unmoved.

The current situation is enough to make a Purple Mansion Cultivator go insane.

Having gone through the trials laid by Divine Thought Ancestor, the four remaining cultivators, including Zheng Yi as Chen Long, and Wei Xu as Si Snake.

Among these four, besides Serpent Wei Xu who knows everyone’s identities, the others are completely unfamiliar to each other, each concealing their true identity.

While this was originally normal, encountering unexpected situations now enhanced the apprehensions and suspicions within each person to the extreme.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is no inheritance from Divine Thought Ancestor here, everyone might as well relax."

Wei Xu, wearing the Si Snake mask, suddenly spoke, breaking the silence. His voice slowly said: "Please remember, the matter you promised me hasn’t been completed yet, now is not the time for mutual suspicion!"

This time, Serpent Wei Xu directly removed his mask, looking around at the few individuals, his voice somewhat dangerous.

Before, everyone had made a Celestial Oath with Wei Xu, this journey must be devoted to acquiring the Inner Core of the Twelve-winged Celestial Fire Dragon Centipede.

Now, with an unexpected chance to obtain what might be the legacy left by Divine Thought Ancestor, everyone momentarily harbors doubts and schemes, resulting in fractures and an inability to focus on mutual cooperation.

Most have even thrown prior commitments to the wind.

Undoubtedly, the clearest mind present is Serpent Wei Xu.

After all, the purpose of him gathering everyone here this time was solely to acquire the Inner Core of the Twelve-winged Celestial Fire Dragon Centipede, to save his granddaughter.

Even though the legacy of Divine Thought Ancestor is extraordinarily precious, he does not seek to obtain it.

Considering his advanced age, with his only son passed away, living with his granddaughter Wei Shuke, the hope for further advancement during his lifetime has long dimmed.

Thus, he is instead the least likely to be swayed.

However, the others present equal his status, even if Wei Xu is inwardly anxious, he cannot command these Purple Mansion Cultivators.

"Everyone, if there truly is a legacy left by Divine Thought Ancestor here, I declare that I will not take even the slightest, but you have received substantial payment from me, and must understand one thing, you must first deliver the Inner Core of the Twelve-winged Celestial Fire Dragon Centipede to me!"

Wei Xu’s tone at this point is already considerably heavy and solemn.

As an Array Master, now for the Twelve-winged Celestial Fire Dragon Centipede’s Inner Core, he has put everything on the line, if anyone dares to trip him up due to other interests at this juncture, he truly will resort to drastic measures.

If necessary, an unyielding struggle until death.

Refusing to relinquish the Dragon Centipede Inner Core, he will not rest.

Now stating it upfront unmistakably demonstrates his resolution.

Simultaneously, an ancient Array Plate appeared in Wei Xu’s hand, continuously emitting a mysterious fluctuation from its surface, with enigmatic symbols faintly visible in the air.

Zheng Yi, wearing the Chen Long mask, along with Chou Ox and Yin Tiger, stealthily scanned the Array Plate in his palm, sensing an imperceptible danger from the small item.

After all, he is a Tier Three Array Master, with Wei Xu’s Dao Practice and Array Cultivation, if he truly decides to engage in combat, the others present would be extremely disadvantaged.

Obviously, facing the temptation from Divine Thought Ancestor’s legacy, Wei Xu also has to consider the wickedness of human hearts, initially opting for diplomacy then force.

Holding the Array Plate, Wei Xu cautiously scrutinized the remaining three, his gaze as sharp as an eagle’s eye.

"Ahem! Master Wei Xu, rest assured, though I can’t speak for others, since I agreed to your demands, having made a Celestial Dao Oath, I dare not forget."

"Those who came are all distinguished figures, though unknown to each other, since this opportunity presents itself, let us unite to kill the Dragon Centipede and acquire the Inner Core, rest assured, we will certainly honor our promises."

The robust man wearing the Chou Ox mask voiced suddenly, coughing several times, interrupting the eerie atmosphere.

He spoke openly, on one hand, rallying everyone, and on the other, aiming to dispel Wei Xu’s suspicions.

However, each individual is acutely aware.

The sky is vast, the earth is large, but profit is paramount.

Blocking someone’s path to wealth is akin to killing their parents, it is a feud resolved only through an unyielding battle.

Though Celestial Oaths must not be violated, that depends on the benefits and risks involved, for a sufficiently great profit, some would endure even the consequences of breaking a Celestial Oath.

Indeed, in the Cultivation Realm, myriad methods emerge, regarding Purple Mansion Cultivators, breaking a Celestial Oath is burdensome but not impossible with enough cost.

But if missed, the chance from Divine Thought Ancestor’s legacy will never recur.

Still, it’s certainly not time for an open conflict as of now.

All present understand the current opportunity.

Merely recognizing but not voicing it, even Master Wei Xu comprehends, otherwise, he wouldn’t risk tearing faces to warn everyone.

But now, they are in a peculiar balance, only able to proceed step by step, each harboring unique thoughts, quietly plotting.

"Let’s go, have a look!"

After a moment of silence, Master Wei Xu scanned each person’s face, observing intently, before finally speaking.

...

At the end of the platform stood a towering pavilion.

Nobody knows what material it was constructed from, its body shimmering with silver light, resembling an erected high tower, arguably the tallest structure in this space.

Originally conspicuous.

Yet, there seems to be an array restraining this place, without approaching the array, the silver tower appears invisible, even the Purple Mansion Cultivators failed to perceive it before.

Now, nearing it, they can faintly see a gentle radiance continuously emanating from the topmost level.

The eyes behind their masks lit up.

Is this the treasure land of the legacy?

Wei Xu glanced at everyone and evidently detected the shift in their emotions, sneering, took the lead unhesitatingly.

The surrounding space is not large, if the Twelve-winged Celestial Fire Dragon Centipede truly has a place to hide, it would undoubtedly be here.

He has decided internally; once acquiring the Inner Core, quickly depart from this crisis-ridden place.

To him, the world is vast, but nothing exceeds obtaining the Dragon Centipede Inner Core.

It represents the life of his granddaughter Wei Shuke.

...

Led by Wei Xu, the Array Master, the path was largely unchallenging, they soon arrived at the foot of the silver tower.

The interior had no anomalies, amidst vigilance from everyone, they measured the steps methodically, swiftly ascending to the top floor.

As predicted, on this top floor lay the treasure land of Divine Thought Ancestor’s legacy.

Three halos floated above, shimmering like stars, radiating an exhilarating brilliance.

Their gazes instantly locked onto these three mesmerizing halos, the dancing light possessing intense treasure aura, captivating the attention behind their masks.

Potent treasure aura fluctuation, even the Purple Mansion Cultivators haven’t encountered.

Proving that each item here is extraordinary.

Like desert travelers suddenly finding an oasis, each person silently distanced themselves.

At this juncture, saying anything is futile, entrusting a stranger’s back is impossible.

Still, the situation isn’t yet hostile enough to warrant a fallout, creating an unusual atmosphere.
