Chapter 579: Chapter 575: Asking for Others Chapter 579: Chapter 575: Asking for Others During their conversation, Shen Luo and the others arrived in front of a big gate in the seabed mountain wall.
The gate was inlaid with two exceptionally thick, cast bronze doors, on which zigzagged traces of more than a dozen charm patterns. At the bottom of the gate, about a foot high from the ground, an octagon-shaped groove was seen.
Yuan Yi casually took out a green token with a turtle shell pattern engraved from his bosom, and threw it upwards. The token flew into mid-air enveloped in green light, and perfectly fitted into the groove on the bronze door.
Imdiately, a ray of light spread from the green token, lighting up all the charm patterns on the bronze giant door. With the continuous rumbling, the two extraordinarily thick doors began to open inwards.
Beyond the bronze door, a dazzling golden light shone that made it almost impossible for Shen Luo to look straight.
However, when the golden light dispersed, instead of seeing the imagined piles of gold and treasure, Shen Luo saw a huge golden octopus.
There were caves of different shapes and sizes all over the cliff around the golden octopus and above its head. They were all shrouded in light with golden prohibition runes floating around them.
As soon as the golden octopus saw the group enter, it slowly opened its closed eyes. Seeing the newcors, a sparkle flashed in its eyes and it spoke in human voice:
“Yuan, old mate, it’s been a long ti since you brought so many people… oh, is that the little Ninth Prince? I haven’t seen you for hundreds of years, I was wondering if no one would co to steal my pearls anymore?”
“Respect to Elder Zhang. I was immature and caused you a lot of trouble.” Ao Hong stepped forward sowhat awkwardly, uttered with a fist salute.
“Zhang Bazhua, stop talking nonsense. Today, I brought these kids here on the order of the Dragon King, who wants to reward them with treasures. Find sothing suitable for them.” Yuan Yi said with a laugh.
“Treasures? No problem. As long as it’s the Dragon King’s order, you just make your requests. If it’s in our treasure house, I’ll be sure to get it for you.” The golden octopus said with a smile.
Ao Xin looked at Ao Zhong, who nodded back to her. Then she stepped forward, made a courtesy and said:
“Elder, I, the junior, have mastered fire mystic arts and have reached the peak of Great Mahayana, but I can’t break through the bottleneck. If there are any elixirs or treasures that can help out, please don’t hesitate to offer.”
“Once the bottleneck of the Mahayana peak is broken, you will have to cross tribulation to True Immortal. This bottleneck is not like any other, sotis not being able to break through is a form of self-protection. If you forcibly breakthrough with the help of dication, you may not be able to handle the power of Thunder Tribulation. So, do you still want it?” The golden octopus remained silent for a mont upon hearing this, and then asked.
Upon hearing this, Ao Xin cast her gaze at Ao Zhong with a mixture of intention and unintention, then stated in a firm voice, “Yes.”
The only way she could close the gap between them is if she breaks through to the True Immortal Realm. Only then, she can truly share his burdens.
“In that case, there exists a Inferno Pill within our treasure house, handed down from Taishang Laojun’s Biyou Palace. It was made using Samadhi True Fire. After you take it, it may help you break through the bottleneck.” The golden octopus said.
“Thank you, elder.” Ao Xin imdiately replied.
The golden octopus remained silent. After thinking for a while, a colossal arm suddenly reached out from underneath. It stretched towards a cave above. A rune on the top of the tentacle lit up, and it rged with the prohibition light from the cave.
Then, the tentacle passed through the layer of light and entered the cave.
In a short while, when it was retrieved, a crimson box that looked like a cauldron was in tentacle, handed over to Ao Xin.
Ao Xin took it with both hands, carefully opened the lid, and imdiately a surge of intense heat raced out, accompanied by a crimson glow.
She quickly closed the lid again and thanked it repeatedly, adding the box to her belongings.
“Brother Shen, tell Elder Zhang what you need.” Ao Hong said to Shen Luo.
“Elder, I want to ask you for a steady way to breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage.” Shen Luo, having already thought about this, stepped forward and requested.
Upon hearing this, the entire room was shocked. Everyone was looking at him with incredulous eyes.
“It’s not for , but for soone else,” Shen Luo said sowhat awkwardly.
“What kind of skills does that person cultivate?” Golden Octopus wasn’t surprised by Shen Luo’s request and asked.
“He… He cultivates a Water Technique.” Shen Luo hesitated.
Hearing this, the Golden Octopus fell into deep thought and spoke after a mont: “Among the thods you seek, there are thirteen types available in our treasury. Among them, three are most suitable. I’ll explain them to you, and you can choose for yourself.”
“Thank you, elder.” Shen Luo quickly cupped his fists in thanks.
“The first thod involves taking a Crystal Pill. This pill is made from Dragon Yuan Essence and can help stabilize the soul to reach the Nascent Soul Stage. The second thod involves cultivating the ‘Water Organ Opening Elental Skill’. This skill can take one from the Qi refining stage directly to the peak of Great Mahayana, with a gradual path leading to the Nascent Soul Stage. The third thod is a lost Water technique. Although its rank is much higher than ‘Water Organ Opening Elental Skill’, it has unfortunately beco fragnted and incomplete. It too contains a thod to reach the Nascent Soul Stage”. The Golden Octopus explained.
“Then we’ll go for the ‘Water Organ Opening Elental Skill’.” Shen Luo hesitated slightly, then said.
He was seeking a thod to reach the Nascent Soul Stage to prepare for cultivation. While the Crystal Pill might have profound effects, he couldn’t take it back with him, so that was out of the question. The fragnted technique, despite its high rank, was now incomplete. It was uncertain what kind of hidden dangers lay within. Better to choose the safer route.
But as soon as he had finished speaking, he had so regrets and couldn’t help but say,
“May I ask the elder to fetch that fragnted thod, so that I may take a look at it before making a final choice?”
“Of course.”
With that, the Golden Octopus once again waved its tentacles and reached into two different holes in the wall.
A mont later, a two-inch-thick golden silk book and a moss-covered stone tablet were placed before Shen Luo.
He looked back and forth between the two, suddenly feeling a strange sensation. The seemingly unremarkable mossy stone tablet seed to exude a faintly familiar aura that drew him in.
This feeling was very subtle. After so hesitation, Shen Luo changed his mind and chose the mossy stone tablet.
“This is yours now…” The Golden Octopus imdiately retrieved the golden silk book and handed Shen Luo the mossy stone tablet.
Shen Luo took it with both hands and felt the stone tablet, imdiately feeling as if he was brushing his fingers over the surface of water, with ripples seemingly undulating underneath his fingertips. It was incredibly strange.
However, he didn’t have ti to inspect it carefully now, so he had to put it away for the ti being.
After a while, they bid farewell and left the Dragon Palace Treasure House.
“Now that we’ve selected our treasures, we shouldn’t delay any longer. We should set off for the Dragon Abyss, right?” Ao Zhong glanced at everyone and asked.
“Crown Prince, Ninth Prince, and Brother Shen just returned to the Dragon Palace and went through a battle on the way. Why not let them rest a bit before heading to the Dragon Abyss?” Yuan Yi suggested.
“Uncle Yuan, if the Deep-sea Giant Monster truly escapes, and sothing does happen at the bottom of the Dragon Abyss, I’m afraid we have no ti to rest. The longer we delay, the more dangerous it becos,” Ao Zhong argued.
“Second brother is right, ti is of the essence.” Ao Hong nodded in agreent.
“In that case, I won’t say any more. Take care,” Yuan Yi said.
Afterwards, they set off for the Dragon Abyss, leaving Yuan Yi behind.
