Chapter 1705

Battle of the Gods

The middle aged man exclaimed softly. He turned around and just happened to see Zhuowen flash over like a ray of light.

"So it's that little fellow. He actually dares to approach us after seeing the battle between the three of us. He's quite bold, isn't he?" The corners of the middle aged man's mouth curled up slightly while a trace of admiration appeared in his eyes.

Elder Gu followed the middle aged man's gaze and saw Zhuowen flash over explosively. For some unknown reason, he was able to sense that the young man's gaze was filled with burning desire, and that burning gaze was staring right at him. This caused Elder Gu to reveal a strange expression.

Swoosh!

In next to no time, Zhuowen flashed over to Elder Gu and the middle aged man, and his gaze stared right at Elder Gu. After that, he cupped his hands in an extremely respectful manner and said, "I'm Zhuowen. Greetings, seniors. May I know if you're a Saint Celestial Master?"

Elder Gu and the middle aged man exchanged glances, and then Elder Gu gazed at Zhuowen and pondered deeply for a moment before he said, "I'm indeed a Saint Celestial Master. What's the matter?"

In the eyes of Elder Gu and the middle aged man, Zhuowen was no different than an ant, and they originally didn't intend to pay too much attention to Zhuowen.

However, when they thought about how Zhuowen was able to survive the battle between the three of them and had actually overcome the suppression of the middle aged man's gaze, Elder Gu and the middle aged man aroused a trace of interest in Zhuowen.

The middle aged man sized up Zhuowen from top to bottom and clicked his tongue in wonder as he said, "Based on his physique, he's actually a heaven defying Saint Celestial Master. Even though his natural talent can't compare to Yuan Hongwen, he's still a one in a million genius."

At this moment, Zhuowen's attention was completely focused on Elder Gu. After he heard Elder Gu admit that he was a Saint Celestial Master, his expression became extremely excited, and he was even slightly at a loss for what to do.

"Young friend, may I know what you need?" Elder Gu frowned slightly when he saw Zhuowen's helpless appearance.

Although Zhuowen's talent wasn't bad, it really couldn't enter his eyes. At this moment, seeing Zhuowen suddenly blocking their way, he naturally felt a little impatient.

Zhuo Wen naturally saw the impatience on Old Gu's face. He took in a deep breath and slowly calmed his somewhat agitated heart. His voice trembled slightly as he said, "Elder, this junior has heard that the Celestial Saint Master has already come into contact with the level of the soul and has extremely deep attainments in the aspect of the soul. Therefore, this junior has a presumptuous request!

Having said that, Zhuowen flicked his finger and took out a crystal coffin from his Spirit Ring.

In the crystal coffin, a beautiful woman lay quietly with her hands crossed in front of her chest. Her beautiful face was full of tranquility.

The woman's eyes were slightly closed as if she had fallen into a deep sleep. Her clean face was like a sleeping beauty.

The moment he took out the crystal coffin, Zhuowen's hands trembled. His eyes were filled with gentleness because the woman in the crystal coffin was his beloved woman. She was the woman he was willing to give up everything to save.

Elder Gu originally didn't want to pay attention to Zhuowen, but when he saw the woman in the crystal coffin, he suddenly exclaimed in surprise and rushed over to the crystal coffin.

At this moment, Elder Gu looked at the woman in the crystal coffin and slowly frowned. He shook his head and muttered in a low voice, "The body has collapsed and only a soul that has no consciousness is left. Moreover, this soul is already on the verge of collapse. This really is strange. How did this happen?"

Seeing Elder Gu sizing up Mu Chenxue in the crystal coffin, Zhuowen's eyes revealed a look of hope. He quickly said, "In the past, Chen Xue's memories were forcefully extracted by someone. Later on, the extracted memories shattered and finally affected her soul, so ….."

"So it's like this. This old man took a look and it wasn't just her memories that were extracted, there was also a crucial part of her soul. It was this crucial part of her soul that caused her memories to shatter. Not only did she lose her memories, even her soul began to collapse. Moreover, this collapse is fatal." Elder Gu said in a deep voice.

Seeing that Elder Gu was saying the same thing, the hope in Zhuowen's eyes became even stronger. He knew that the Saint Master in front of him might be able to save Mu Chenxue.

"Senior, can you save Chen Xue? For this, this junior is willing to pay any price!"

Zhuowen suddenly knelt in the air and solemnly bowed to Elder Gu.

He, Zhuowen, did not bow to the heavens, did not bow to gods, and did not bow to life and death. However, for Mu Chenxue, who was also his wife, he was willing to give up his dignity and kneel down to Elder Gu.

Elder Gu slightly knit his brows and said in a deep voice, "The soul is an extremely important part, but it is also an extremely fragile thing. If a part of the soul is missing, it will bring about fatal destruction."

"If you want to save someone with a missing soul, the price you have to pay is hard to imagine. Moreover, the success rate is not high. You and I are not related, so why should this old man pay such a large price to help you?"

Zhuowen's body trembled. He also knew that Elder Gu was not related to him at all, so why would he pay such a large price to treat Mu Chenxue?

"Senior, this junior has something that is very likely to be a True Immortal Sacred Artifact. This True Immortal Sacred Artifact should be enough to exchange for senior to treat my wife, right?"

A determined light flashed in Zhuowen's eyes. At this moment, when faced with the opportunity to save Mu Chenxue, he would rather expose the Azure Dragon Palace and firmly grasp this opportunity.

"True Immortal Sacred Artifact?"

The middle-aged man and Elder Gu narrowed their eyes and began to size up Zhuowen. A True Immortal Sacred Artifact was extremely rare. Even the forces behind them could not underestimate a True Immortal Sacred Artifact. The forces behind them only had one or two of such treasures.

However, this young man in front of them, whose cultivation was only at the Heaven-defying Saint Realm, actually had a True Immortal Sacred Artifact. This made them suspicious.

"Although this junior has never seen a True Immortal Sacred Artifact, I did not know the origin of this Sacred Artifact when I first obtained it. However, as I continue to use it, this Sacred Artifact has become more and more extraordinary. This junior can conclude that this Sacred Artifact is very likely a True Immortal Sacred Artifact," Zhuowen said in a deep voice.

"In that case, take out this Sacred Artifact and have a look. Whether it is a True Immortal Sacred Artifact or not, the two of us will naturally be able to tell."

The middle-aged man chuckled, but his eyes were full of ridicule. In his eyes, he did not think that Zhuowen had a True Immortal Sacred Artifact. After all, Zhuowen's cultivation was too low. Elder Gu and the middle-aged man's thoughts were the same.

Zhuowen nodded. With a flick of his finger, he was about to take out the Azure Dragon Palace when a ray of light shot out from his Spirit Ring. In the end, the light's true appearance was revealed.

The middle-aged man and Elder Gu stared at the light's true appearance with a strange look in their eyes. This was because what appeared in front of them was only a longsword that burst out with the shadow of the sun. It was the Ninth Yang Dao Sword.

Zhuowen's pupils shrank. He had clearly planned to take out the Azure Dragon Palace, but he had unexpectedly taken out the Ninth Yang Dao Sword.

"You must not show the Azure Dragon Palace to these two people in front of you. Otherwise, you will definitely lose your life."

A cold voice suddenly rang out in Zhuowen's mind. Zhuowen immediately recognized the owner of the voice. It was none other than the First Mountain God.

Zhuowen knew that it was the First Mountain God's doing.

Zhuowen frowned slightly. Just as he was about to refute, the First Mountain God's voice rang out again. He said, "If you really plan to hand over the Azure Dragon Palace, then don't blame me for being ruthless. I won't kill you, but I will separate your wife from you forever."

When those words were spoken, Zhuo Wen's gaze became extremely gloomy. There was even a faint trace of anger within that gloominess. However, he forcefully suppressed that anger.

The First Mountain God was too powerful. If the First Mountain God really wanted to kill Mu Chenxue, it was impossible for him to stop him with his current strength.

"This is a True Immortal Saint Artifact?

Little friend, are you playing with us? "Elder Gu said coldly.

The middle-aged man found it funny. He could not help but laugh out loud. He said, "This is only a small part of an Earthly Immortal Saint Artifact. It can only be considered a Lesser Immortal Artifact. There is a huge difference between it and a True Immortal Saint Artifact. Boy, are you planning to fool us?"

"God Lord, this kid is actually playing with us. I can't just accept this," Elder Gu frowned.

The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "It's fine!"

Speaking up to there, the middle-aged man glanced at the crystal coffin beside Zhuowen. A sliver of reminiscence appeared in his eyes. He said softly, "Seeing that you're an infatuated person who values relationships, the two of us won't make things difficult for you."

"If you really want Elder Gu to treat your wife, you'll have to pay a huge price. It just so happens that the Chaotic Divine Temple has begun to confer the Chaotic War God and hold a war of gods. If you can stand out in the war of gods and become the champion, I can help you ask Elder Gu to treat your wife."

Zhuowen was stunned. Soon after, he trembled. His gloomy eyes immediately began to shine with a scorching light. He clasped his hands and said, "May I ask what are the conditions for participating in the war of gods?"

The middle-aged man chuckled and said, "Once you leave the Shattered Elephant Abyss, you'll naturally know the exact details of the war of gods. In the next five years, the war of gods will definitely erupt. At that time, if you want to treat your wife, you'll have to become the champion."

Speaking up to there, the middle-aged man glanced at Zhuowen meaningfully before waving his hand. Immediately, the space around him began to distort. Both the middle-aged man and Elder Gu vanished from the spot in an instant.

Zhuowen stared blankly at the middle-aged man and Elder Gu who had vanished. The hope in his eyes grew denser and denser.

Sometimes, what people lacked was not motivation, but hope. As long as you had hope, you would have endless motivation.

Right now, Zhuowen's hope was to save Mu Chenxue. For that, he would participate in the war of gods and become the champion.

"I, Zhuowen, will definitely participate in the war of gods!"

With that, Zhuowen withdrew the fragment from the Azure Dragon Hall. Now that the middle-aged man and Elder Gu had left, the first mountain god did not stop Zhuowen from using the hall.
