Chapter 561 - 561 Ouyang Gui
561 Ouyang Gui
Qin Chen and the others took one last look at the bronze door.
For some reason, the bronze door gave them the same feeling. It was as if it had a life of its own.
...Qin Chen moved forward, and everyone followed him.
Now that they had come to the depths of Buzhou Mountain, it would be unreasonable if they didn’t get some treasures and fortunes.
Qin Chen and the others continued forward. After an unknown amount of time, they arrived at a gloomy place.
A figure appeared in front of them.
This figure sat cross-legged on the ground. No one knew whether he was dead or alive.
Qin Chen and the others slowly approached.
They did not know if this figure was a terrifying existence.
When they got close, they realized that the figure was breathing. Even though the other party’s breathing was very weak, it also meant that he was not dead.
Why was he here? Could it be that he had also been to the world behind the bronze door?
As if he could feel that living beings had come, the figure opened his eyes shakily.
His eyebrows were already snow-white, and there were only some sparse white hairs on his head. It looked like he was about to reach the end of his life.
If this continued, God knows if he could survive or how long he could live.
Since he was already in his twilight years, why did he still enter Buzhou Mountain and even appear here?
Could it be…
Qin Chen’s eyes lit up as he thought.
The old man’s appearance made it likely that the reason why he was here was due to the existence of a great fortune here that could allow him to break through or extend his lifespan.
All sorts of guesses made Qin Chen’s eyes widen. If this was the case, it meant that they had come to the right place.
Moreover, the treasures and fortunes in this place should not have been taken away by other experts. Otherwise, this old man would have left long ago.
“Cough, cough…”
The old man coughed twice and his body trembled violently.
He also knew that he did not have much time left. It would not be long before he passed away here. At that time, no matter how glorious or regretful his life was, it would all turn into dust.
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust. He would be gone with the wind.
Qin Chen and the others were obviously on guard.
To be able to live until now, this old fellow was probably not someone to be trifled with.
Therefore, they were on guard.
“How did you guys get in?” The old man asked. He seemed to be puzzled. After all, Qin Chen and the others were too weak. Shouldn’t they have long died?
“To enter this place, one has to pass through the Heavenly God Road. Ordinary people simply can’t do that. I should have been trapped here for ten thousand years.”
“Heavenly God Road?”
Qin Chen had no idea what the Heavenly God Road was. They had come here by entering directly.
At this moment, Qin Chen was somewhat puzzled. He thought of a problem. He had never thought that this old man had been trapped here for ten thousand years. Could it be that they were trapped here as well?
This old man did not look like an ordinary person. He must have extraordinary methods.
After some time, Qin Chen smiled.
Since the old man had been trapped here for so long, perhaps he might know how to get out.
“Did you come here by mistake?” The old man was extremely shocked. He went through many hardships before he managed to enter this place 10,000 years ago.
He did not expect that these juniors could enter directly.
Could it be another exit?
However, the light in the old man’s eyes extinguished silently. He did not have much time left before he would be gone from this world. It was impossible for him to survive.
Thinking of this, he turned to Qin Chen and the others and said, “Originally, I didn’t want to leave. I wanted you to help me find the divine evil bamboo. Unfortunately, you are too weak. It’s impossible. A heaven-grade treasure called the divine evil bamboo is here, but it’s very difficult to get. It’s basically impossible.”
Qin Chen and the others were simply too weak. It was impossible for them to have any chance of obtaining it.
After all, the divine evil bamboo was extremely powerful.
To obtain it, one had to break the sky screen.
The divine evil bamboo was behind the sky screen.
The old man continued as he pointed ahead, “That is the sky screen.”
Only by breaking through the sky screen could one possibly obtain the bamboo.
Qin Chen looked over and shot out a beam of energy.
The sky screen was overlapping, seemingly non-existent. However, it immediately dissipated this energy.
The divine evil bamboo’s shadow could be seen behind it.
Qin Chen and the others could vaguely see that the divine evil bamboo was like an illusion. It emitted a gentle glow.
The old man coughed again and said after a long time.
“I am the supreme elder of the TIansheng Sect, Ouyang Gui. I came to Buzhou Mountain when my life was about to end, wanting to get the divine evil bamboo. After all, it is a top-notch heaven-grade treasure. With the divine evil bamboo, I might be able to break through to the next realm. By then, I’ll be able to live longer. Unfortunately, I failed.”
Ouyang Gui’s current appearance made everyone sigh endlessly.
At his peak state, he could probably kill an existence on the level of Patriarch Xuan Tian in an instant.
Unfortunately, Ouyang Gui no longer had any strength left. He simply couldn’t survive. His lifespan was coming to an end, and he was about to reach the end of his time.
After some time, Qin Chen smiled.
Sky screen?
If he gave it a try, he might be able to get the divine evil bamboo.
According to Ouyang Gui, the Supreme Elder of the Tiansheng Sect, the divine evil bamboo is a top-notch heaven-grade treasure. It is one of the best treasures in Buzhou Mountain.
If Qin Chen could get his hands on it, it would allow Qin Chen and the others to advance their cultivation by leaps and bounds.
Qin Chen was still cautious though.
He asked Ouyang Gui, “Senior, is there any danger in the sky screen ahead?”
Ouyang Gui slowly said, “The sky screen itself is not dangerous. Most importantly, as soon as we get close to the sky screen, we might alert the divine evil bamboo. If that happens, the bamboo will move.”
From what Ouyang Gui said, it seemed like there wouldn’t be any danger. However, Qin Chen wouldn’t just believe all of the other party’s words.
Who knew? He might be tricked by this old thing.
“I’ve spent ten thousand years, but I still haven’t found a way to get the divine evil bamboo,” Ouyang Gui’s eyes were filled with unwillingness, “There’s only one way to get the divine evil bamboo, and that is to break the sky screen.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Chen and the others were shocked.
