Chapter 136 Suppression
Inside the fate palace of that mysterious powerful man.

Gu Mingchuan was wondering why Yan Qing sent him here, when he suddenly felt something calling him somewhere ahead.

He walked cautiously in that direction.

This fate palace seemed like a huge maze. He walked in step by step. Suddenly, some words appeared on the walls on both sides.

He looked carefully and found that it was the practice of the Five Elements Divine Art.

Gu Mingchuan walked and looked, and soon reached the end.

The skills here are very complete, all the way up to the Life Palace realm.

Unfortunately, it didn't work for him much, because the technique he was practicing now had become the "Innate Five Elements".

When he reached the end, a staircase appeared in front of him, leading to the next level.

He climbed to the second floor.

The second floor was also a maze. He could only follow the sensation and walk forward. As he walked, words appeared on the walls on both sides again.

This time, some martial arts moves appeared.

Gu Mingchuan looked more carefully this time and memorized everything on the wall.

After using the Bodhi seeds to open the treasure of wisdom, his memory became extremely good and he could remember everything he saw.

Soon, he reached the end of the second floor and climbed the stairs leading to the third floor.

……

"these are--"

When words appeared on the walls on both sides, Gu Mingchuan took a closer look and was surprised. Engraved on them were vows.

"Could it be that these are all the oaths that the owner of the Palace of Destiny has ever made?"

He looked through them one by one, and there were quite a few oaths on them. Some of them were even a little outrageous, like oaths made as a child, full of childish innocence.

Later on, the oaths became normal. One of them was particularly eye-catching, "Never betray the Five Elements Sect!"

The first level is the technique, the second level is the martial arts, the third level is the oath, so what is the fourth level?
Gu Mingchuan was curious and quickly climbed to the fourth floor and saw the words on the wall.

He suddenly realized, "So it's a promise."

On the wall, there was even a promise to live with a woman until death, but there was a crack on the wall where the promise was written.

"Does this mean that he failed to fulfill this promise?"

Gu Mingchuan probably understood a little bit. The first level of skills, the second level of martial arts, the third level of oath, and the fourth level of commitment are the basis for building the Palace of Destiny.

Therefore, if you want to break through to the Fate Palace, or even above the realm, you must not only abide by the oath, but also fulfill the promise you made, otherwise, the Fate Palace will not be solid.

Gu Mingchuan continued forward, and when he reached the end, he climbed up the stairs and found that the fate palace above had completely collapsed.

"Could it be that the crack on the fourth floor caused the Fate Palace above to collapse?"

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but recall what he had said but not done since he was a child.
Damn, that’s a lot.

I remember that when he was a child, he made a bold statement in front of his parents that he wanted to be admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University.

He said a lot of similar big words when he was young and ignorant, but in the end he never kept any of them.

If this is all counted, then it’s over. The third and fourth life palaces must be full of cracks, right?

As Gu Mingchuan was thinking, he felt the call becoming stronger and stronger.

He looked up and saw something floating in the ruins, emitting a faint light.

He walked closer and finally saw clearly what it was: a seal with a lifelike dragon carved on it, exuding a majestic, noble and heavy aura.

"Could it be the seal of the Changsheng Emperor?"

Gu Mingchuan thought to himself that this breath was somewhat familiar.

It's that guy from a few days ago!

He quickly figured out who it was. When he was fighting for the Seven-Aperture Spirit Stone in Canghai Sect, he met an opponent who should be from the royal family and had a similar aura.

“Isn’t this dragon energy?”

If I carry this thing with me and meet someone from the royal family in the future and they sense me, will they hunt me down?
Should I take it or not?

While Gu Mingchuan was still thinking, the seal seemed to be pulled towards him and fell into his hands before he could react.

Suddenly, the seal in his hand became extremely hot, and a trace of flame invaded his body, sweeping over his whole body with an extremely domineering attitude.

His innate five elements true qi had no power to resist this overbearing flame.

"what--"

Gu Mingchuan let out a scream and felt like his body had been roasted. A golden flame spewed out of his mouth and nose, and he turned into a complete fire man.

Even his "Vajra Indestructible Divine Art"'s recovery ability was destroyed by this flame.

At this moment, he even thought he was dead and was about to call for help from the system god.

At this moment, he felt seven forces surging into his body, repairing his damaged body bit by bit.

"It's the Seven-Aperture Spirit Stone!"

At this point, Gu Mingchuan finally understood why Yan Qing insisted that he go and seize the Seven-Aperture Spirit Stone and why he was brought here only after he had used the Seven-Aperture Spirit Stone to open the divine treasure in his body.

It turned out to be the case.

After an unknown amount of time, his body continued to recover, and the fire element among the innate five elements even absorbed a bit of the characteristics of the golden flame, causing some strange changes.

When everything calmed down, he took a deep breath, and the seal in his hand disappeared.

At this time, it had already come to his sea of ​​consciousness on its own, pushing the Shenxiao Sword aside and occupying the best position.

"Does this count as refining it?"

Gu Mingchuan thought about it and tried to communicate with the seal, but was immediately bounced away. It was as if it was saying, you weakling, don't get involved.

Well, I think he is too weak.

Feeling somewhat helpless, he returned to reality, looked around, and wondered how to leave here.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, a black vortex appeared in front of him, sweeping him up. He felt dizzy and his eyes blurred, and he was back in the original dungeon. Gu Mingchuan opened his eyes and saw Yan Qing sitting beside him, holding a bronze lamp in his hand, shining with a ray of silver light.

The mysterious strong man was actually blocked outside the silver light.

Gu Mingchuan was shocked when he saw it, "Senior Yan, you——"

After not seeing each other for such a short while, Yan Qing seemed to have aged ten years, and his whole spirit and energy had weakened a lot.

Yan Qing did not answer him, but only asked, "Did you get the Fire Dragon Seal?"

He nodded, "Yeah."

"it is good!"

A smile of relief appeared on Yan Qing's face. He looked at the old monster with red eyebrows outside the stone chamber and said, "Brother, I couldn't save our master or our sister back then. Today, I will try to see if I can save this young man."

As he spoke, the bronze lamp in his hand shone brightly, and with a flash of silver light, it rolled up the Red Eyebrowed Monster.

The old monster with red eyebrows roared in terror, "You are crazy——"

The two figures disappeared.

Yan Qing's voice came to Gu Mingchuan's ears, "I burned the Taiyi Lamp at the cost of my life, and used the life palace of my master as a cage. I can only suppress him for one year at most. After one year, it's up to you..."

The lingering sound disappears without a trace.

He was a little stunned, looking at the corpse in the dungeon with a complicated look.

He bowed solemnly and said, "Don't worry, senior. I will definitely help the Five Elements Sect select a successor in the future to ensure that the Five Elements Sect will continue to prosper."

"Remember your words."

Suddenly, a slightly hoarse voice came from behind. It was Yan Feng. He walked to Gu Mingchuan's side and said, "Foster father has placed all his hopes on you at the cost of his life. I hope you can get rid of that guy who betrayed his teacher and destroyed his ancestors in the future. You only have one year. If you can't break through to the Fate Palace Realm within one year, you will die when the old monster Chimei comes out."

It turned out that the man was called Red Eyebrow Old Monster, and he was indeed a strong man in the Fate Palace Realm.

What made Gu Mingchuan even more curious was that the bronze lamp in Yan Qing's hand could actually fight against a strong man in the Fate Palace Realm. It was a magical weapon.

However, looking at Yan Feng's expression, it is not appropriate to ask him this at this time.

Yan Feng said, "You go, I will seal this place and not let anyone get close to the master's body."

Gu Mingchuan didn't say much, just bowed, turned around and left.

When he returned to the ground, he heard a loud bang and the entire tunnel collapsed.

He stood there and said silently, "One year is a bit stressful. Before that, don't die here."

Then, he soared into the air and disappeared in full view of everyone.

……

In a house somewhere in Zhongzhou City.

After changing his appearance, Gu Mingchuan quietly slipped into the yard.

"Who?"

A vigilant voice was heard in the room. It was Gong Miaomiao's.

"it's me."

Gu Mingchuan returned to his original appearance, the door opened, and Gong Miaomiao threw herself into his arms, crying, "Brother Gu, you're finally back, I was so worried about you..."

He is indeed a crybaby.

Gu Mingchuan patted her head and said, "I'm fine. It's just that Senior Yan - we have to leave here as soon as possible."

Gong Miaomiao raised her head from his arms, wiped away her tears, and asked, "Are we leaving now?"

Gu Mingchuan smiled and said, "There's no need to rush. Let's do it tomorrow."

Then, he looked at Shangguan Yu and asked, "Did Senior Yan transfer you here?"

Shangguan Yu nodded, and then said, "The day before yesterday, I received a note saying that a caravan would be heading to the capital in two days and could give us a ride."

Although she didn't say it, Gu Mingchuan naturally knew who sent the note. After thinking for a moment, he said, "In that case, why not set off in two days?"

No matter what Chu Zhi's conspiracy is, one thing is certain, she definitely hopes that Shangguan Yu will return to Shendu.

If Gu Mingchuan were alone, he would be able to go to the capital without being recognized, but it would be hard to say if he was with the two of them.

In this regard, Chu Zhi naturally has better ways to hide from the eyes and ears of the Demon Suppression Division and send them into the Divine Capital.

……

Another day passed.

Zhongzhou City can be said to be extremely lively. During the Hundred Years Agreement not long ago, all the famous families and sects in Wei came to Zhongzhou, which broadened the horizons of the people in the city.

This matter has been discussed for ten days and the heat is still not reduced.

Yesterday, Tianxia Building collapsed again. It was said that a land immortal had demolished it. From yesterday to now, everyone in the streets and alleys has been discussing this matter.

Then, a piece of news quickly spread throughout the city.

The Grandmaster List has been updated again!
This was not unexpected. After the 100-year agreement, there would definitely be changes in the Grandmaster Ranking. Chunyang from Tianxia Tower defeated Yu Mengzhu and Yin Shengxue, and would definitely top the Grandmaster Ranking.

Even so, after the news spread, countless people still crowded in front of the wall where the list was posted, surrounding it in three layers, waiting for the new list to be posted and to witness this moment.

Before, Tianxialou was responsible for this matter. Now that Tianxialou has collapsed and Yan Qing and Yan Feng are missing, Tianxialou has been officially removed from the list.

This time, it was another restaurant that took over the matter.

"Since yesterday, Chun Yang has also disappeared. Could he have been killed as well?"

"That shouldn't be the case, right? He's number one on the Grandmaster Ranking."

“Don’t even mention being number one on the Grandmaster Ranking. Even if you’re number one on the Heavenly Ranking, you’ll definitely die if you meet a land immortal.”

"If he is really dead, then won't the new list be updated soon?"

……

Everyone was talking about it, and finally the new list was posted, and they couldn't wait to look at the first place.
