Chapter 1 Before the Ancient God Palace

Xu Tianxiong had already climbed two hundred steps.

He was in an extremely wretched state, no longer resembling a human, like a skeleton with blood and flesh clinging to it, very frightening.

The fighting on the lower steps continued.

"I understand now. Every thirty-six steps is a stage. If age, bloodline, cultivation, and luck are not up to par, the pressure will increase with each step taken upward."

Someone spoke, seemingly discerning the rules within these three hundred and sixty-five steps.

"That's not right. Look at those three. They are called Lin Xuantian, Lin Xuanzong, and Lin Xuanhe, known as the Xuan Tian Three Swords. They are brothers born of the same mother, cultivating the same techniques, with the same strength. But the pressure they are enduring is different."

Someone immediately stood up to refute, pointing at the three youths who had just passed the one hundred and eighth step.

The three youths had almost identical faces, and even their temperaments were nearly the same: sharp, fierce, and capable of cutting through anything.

The only difference was their clothing, which were blue, white, and azure, respectively.

"I've heard that the Xuan Tian Three Swords were initially different, not like they are now. It was only when they reached the Xiantai realm that they obtained a cultivation technique connecting their qi, becoming like this through joint cultivation. This shows that there must be a difference in their luck."

Someone spoke again, revealing a secret.

Those who could come here were all in the Daluo realm, far from simple, and knew some unknown secrets.

"Indeed, according to my observation, it is indeed related to age, bloodline, cultivation, and luck."

Someone else spoke, confirming this statement.

After the first person made this statement, others also began to observe and judge, discovering that it was indeed the case.

Very close to the truth!

After all, age, bloodline, and cultivation could be roughly guessed, but luck was difficult to discern.

In an instant, countless pairs of eyes turned to look at Lu Changsheng.

Di Yunxiao, standing next to Lu Changsheng, also stared straight at Lu Changsheng with her beautiful eyes, a hint of playful smile on her face.

As if wanting to see how Lu Changsheng would explain and answer this time.

Wang Xiu's expression remained calm and still.

If he were to say a few words, it would be: sit down, sit down, normal operation.

The God of War naturally remained unfazed, like an immortal God of War, standing behind Lu Changsheng, looking as if he had seen through everything.

"This works?"

Lu Changsheng was a little bewildered. He seemed somewhat lost at the gazes everyone was giving him.

Did he guess right?

What else could he say?

Lu Changsheng said that he was really just guessing, just saying a few words.

Could the master of this ancient god palace be a time-traveler?

Or a fan of Xianxia and Xuanhuan novels?

Otherwise, how could this be explained?

Seeing Lu Changsheng's expression.

The others did not speak, only stared straight at him, thinking that Lu Changsheng was pretending.

Could someone guess so accurately by just guessing?

Did he take them all for fools?

This was the Ancient God Mountain Range, the Ancient God Palace, could it be the same as an ordinary secret realm? Still guessing casually?

"Fellow Daoist, do you know any other secrets of the Ancient God Palace? As long as you tell me, I will offer a generous gift."

A middle-aged man in a Confucian robe stepped forward and said this.

He was refined and approachable, making people feel good, and at the same time, he took out a ring.

Having learned from the past, threats would naturally not appear again.

"Fellow Daoist, tell me, I also have good things."

As soon as the Confucian-robed man stepped forward, someone else immediately came.

"Fellow Daoist, tell me, I also have good things to offer."

"Me too, me too."

"I have nothing, but as long as you tell me, I can worship you as my big brother!"

"Big brother, big brother, I am your half-brother from another mother, I have finally found you."

Suddenly, a group of people surrounded Lu Changsheng and shouted.

This area was very empty, but everyone squeezed together, a dark mass of heads.

Lu Changsheng was speechless to the extreme.

Daluo realm experts, is this it?

Should he accept all the gifts, and then just say a couple of sentences?

Also say it was his guess.

Anyway, as long as he gets the things, as for whether they are true or false.

He already said it was a guess, does a guess have to be true or false?

These people were all Daluo realm experts, the things they gave would probably not be bad.

"Get lost, get lost, all of you get out of the way, you are blocking my big brother's sunlight."

"You should also move aside, you are affecting my father's breathing of fresh air."

"Don't squeeze, understand first come first served."

The dark mass of people squeezed back and forth, but still left a vacant spot for Lu Changsheng.

"Scram!"

Before Lu Changsheng could speak, Di Yunxiao shouted, directly roaring, with the Great Dao Laws condensed, sweeping in all directions, wanting to drive everyone back.

Di Yunxiao was very unhappy, she was clearly here first, why were they all squeezing over?

Did they not understand first come first served?

Her strength was extremely strong, her roar made many people fearful.

At this moment, after the rules were guessed, the struggle for the three hundred and sixty-five steps became even more intense.

Because the spear did not appear in the Ancient God Palace, the strength these people erupted was also getting stronger and stronger.

However, at this moment, suddenly.

A shrill scream rang out, causing everyone's expression to change.

"Ah!!!!!"

An incomparably shrill scream rang out.

It was the voice of Xu Tianxiong.

Some who were preparing to snatch the steps, instantly retreated backward, looking up.

They saw that all traces of Xu Tianxiong, who had reached the two hundred and fifty-second step, had disappeared.

"Weird, too weird, as if swallowed clean!"

"With Xu Tianxiong's state, he should be able to hold on a little longer, could it be that at this stage, the requirements are higher?"

"What exactly is going on?"

Many people stopped, although Xu Tianxiong had Dao injuries was one aspect.

But there were also many people who knew that their strength, bloodline, and luck were not as good as Xu Tianxiong, pondering in their hearts, could they walk up all three hundred and sixty-five steps like this?

It should be known that Xu Tianxiong had only walked two hundred and fifty-two steps, there were still more than a hundred steps behind.

This made many people lose confidence.

"Too dangerous, I choose to withdraw."

A woman in purple robes, when walking one hundred and eighty steps, spat out a mouthful of blood, her face very flustered.

She could feel that if she continued like this, she would not be able to walk into the Ancient God Palace, and immediately cast a spell, causing layers of ripples to appear in the space, directly disappearing on the steps, escaping hundreds of millions of miles.

However, a "puchi" sound rang out, everyone saw a spear streak across from the void, the tip of the spear had a drop of scarlet blood.

Immediately afterward, the purple-robed woman's body reappeared on the steps, her eyes vacant, her chest had a hole, and she was clearly dead.

The ink stone steps, like a prehistoric beast, instantly swallowed her body clean.

This made the face of the man behind her on the steps very ugly, he did not feel the aura of that spear at all.

This was very terrifying, terrible.

"Once you step onto the steps, you cannot leave."

"These steps are too evil."

"The Ancient God Mountain Range is inherently evil, and over the years, I don't know how many strong people have fallen."

At this time, the gazes of everyone towards Lu Changsheng became even more fervent.

This Ancient God Palace was too dangerous, if there was any mistake, one would die.

Therefore, even a little information could allow them to survive.

Seeing everyone so enthusiastic, sending over storage rings and treasures, Lu Changsheng could not bear to refuse their kindness.

"Since this is the case, then I will just say a few words, just two sentences, everyone just listen casually, it is just a guess."

Lu Changsheng said this.

"Good, good, just talk casually."

"Yes, yes, a guess, it doesn't matter if you are wrong."

"Say a few more sentences, we like to listen, any guess can be said."

When everyone heard Lu Changsheng's words, they immediately sent out their things, cupped their hands, and were extremely polite.
