Chapter 822

After knowing what had happened to Zi Chen here, the two began to worry for Zi Chen. The ancient road was even stronger than the first-grade ancient road, so the chances of survival were not high.

However, Zi Chen had survived several life and death crises. Although the two were worried, they were still confident in Zi Chen.

At this time, there was no one else in the tavern. The tavern owner came forward and began to put things on the table.

Soon, the same amount of things were placed in front of the two. These were left behind by Zi Chen.

One thousand Blood Origin Pills, one hundred special Blood Origin Pills, one thousand drops of mid-grade Origin Liquid, ten treasure pills, one hundred Blood Healing Pills, and twenty-five Blood Explosion Pills.

"These were left behind by that little guy. You can each take half." The tavern owner finished speaking and walked back.

The two looked at the resources with complicated expressions. They were touched and felt guilty.

Even after so many years had passed, they still hadn't forgotten about Zi Chen. Similarly, Zi Chen hadn't forgotten about them either. Despite knowing that they would enter the strongest ancient path, he still left behind resources for the two of them. Back then, Zi Chen hadn't even dared to say whether or not the two of them would come.

The two put away the resources and remained silent for a long time.

"Those wines were left behind by that little guy. They are really good things. Back then, Zi Chen spent a lot of money to help his companions break through. In order to thank that little guy for his generosity, before the ancient road is opened, the two of you can come here and drink a cup for free every day."

The tavern owner said generously.

The two of them did not drink, but this was left behind by Zi Chen, so they had to drink. After drinking, the two of them felt that this wine was extraordinary.

After that, the two of them came here every day to refine this large cup of wine.

As for Liu Chen and Shenhu, they were not so lucky. They could only wait outside the tavern.

This situation lasted for five days. After five consecutive days of offering large cups of wine, the tavern owner seemed to be unable to bear it.

Fortunately, on the sixth day, the ancient road was opened again.

Sophie, the old man, and the tavern owner appeared again and opened a passage in the air. It was also the first time Lin Xue and Su Mengyao saw the ancient road's guardian, Sophie, who looked ugly and fat.

Sophie seemed to have lost interest in opening the Ancient Road because of the appearance of the two beauties. After briefly explaining the rules of the Ancient Road, she directly opened the passage.

All the passageways were opened, allowing the passageways to choose their own people.

In the middle of the gigantic portal, beams of light cascaded down. These beams of light landed on the Core Origin Realm cultivators, as if they were selecting the most suitable people to enter the Ancient Paths.

"Buzz."

Suddenly, an aura emerged from the portal. It was the aura of the Ancient Road of the Strongest Trial. This aura fell from the portal and directly landed on Xue Lin.

"Oh, the strongest ancient road. Its grade is even higher than that of a first-grade ancient road. Congratulations." Sophie smiled faintly at the sight of this, but she was extremely shocked in her heart.

Such a woman was actually chosen by the strongest ancient path. Clearly, she was extraordinary.

Everyone's expression changed when they heard this. They all looked at Lin Xue, but many of their eyes were filled with mockery and schadenfreude.

It was even stronger than a first grade ancient path, so the chances of survival were extremely slim.

Xue Lin's eyes were extremely calm. She glanced at Su Mengyao and then looked at Liu Chen next to her. She was ready to enter the Ancient Road of the Strongest.

Just as the Ancient Road of the Strongest was about to disappear with Xue Lin, an ancient aura suddenly descended from the sky. This aura was even more ancient than the Ancient Road of the Strongest. The moment it landed, a huge force gushed out. This force directly pushed the Ancient Road of the Strongest away, and the light cascaded down.

The light that pushed open the Ancient Road of the Strongest directly landed on Su Mengyao below. Then, this light extended again, covering the Flying Divine Tiger.

Such a scene, not to mention the surrounding Core Origin Realm cultivators, even the three guardians' expressions changed in an instant.

The tavern owner exclaimed in disbelief, "This is a ninth grade ancient road. Oh my god, it actually appeared by itself."

The old man was also shocked, "It is indeed a ninth grade ancient road. It is known as the most mysterious ancient road."

During this time, as the guardian of the ancient road, Sophie's perception was the clearest. This mysterious aura from the ninth grade ancient road was so vast. Her eyes fell on Su Mengyao. Looking at this unbelievably beautiful woman, she was so shocked that she couldn't say a word.

Swoosh.

The next moment, the light cascaded down from the ninth grade ancient road shrank. Su Mengyao and the Flying Divine Tiger disappeared.

The ninth grade ancient road opened by itself. The three guardians were completely stunned, but the others were puzzled. They didn't understand why the three guardians were so excited. Wasn't this the weakest ninth grade ancient road?

The ninth grade ancient road opened by itself, taking Su Mengyao and the Flying Divine Tiger away. Then, the strongest ancient road opened, taking Xue Lin away.

At this point, everything was on the right path. The others entered the first and ninth grade ancient roads. During this time, Liu Chen was lucky enough to enter the fifth grade ancient road.

Rays of light flashed, and many Core Origin Realm cultivators entered the ancient roads. Soon, only the three guardians were left.

But the three of them were still in shock.

There were guardians on the ancient roads, and the entire ancient road was under the control of humans. Except for two kinds of ancient roads.

One was the path of the strongest trial by fire. No one knew what would happen inside, and no one could monitor the entire process. There were only a few ancient paths that could be opened, and only then could they be explored.

The other was the ninth grade ancient road. The number of times this ancient road was opened was extremely limited. Since ancient times, no one had opened any of the nine ancient roads.

It could be said that everything that happened on the ninth grade ancient road was unpredictable, undetectable, and unforeseeable.

After everyone left and the ancient road closed, the tavern owner pondered for a moment and asked, "A ninth grade ancient road has appeared. Should we report it?"

Sophie didn't answer. She looked at the old man.

The old man pondered for a moment and shook his head. "Forget it. If the other party enters the fifth grade ancient road alive, they will naturally know. If he unfortunately dies midway, it's useless to tell them."

The two nodded. They felt that the old man's words made sense.

The tavern owner sighed. "Zi Chen, this little fellow, is indeed extraordinary. His three confidantes all have extraordinary backgrounds, and their aptitudes allowed them to enter the path of the strongest trial. His friends are also extraordinary."

Speaking of Zi Chen, Sophie nodded in agreement. "Zi Chen is indeed extraordinary. But I don't know if he has reached that place. Speaking of which, it's the first time I've met a body cultivator who has obtained a perfect inheritance."

The old man said, "No matter whether he succeeds or not, we have already done what we should do. Everything will be up to fate."

Then, the old man looked at Sophie and said, "If that little guy successfully exits the ancient road, I don't know if he will come and find trouble with us."

"Who knows? But even if he comes, I'm not afraid of him. Can't he just run away if he can't win?" Sophie said disdainfully.

"Hehe, that little guy knows the Thunder Clan's techniques. He is known as the fastest in the world. Even if he is not in his complete state, he is still extremely fast. It's hard for you to run away." The old man shook his head and laughed.

At this moment, the three of them were talking about Zi Chen. He had just brought the torvosaurus out of the eighth ancient road and arrived at the ninth ancient road.

As soon as they arrived, the two of them collapsed on the ground. After nine years, Zi Chen finally felt the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that he had not felt for a long time.

He opened his mouth and greedily absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. He was so moved that he was about to cry. He finally felt the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

After catching his breath, Zi Chen hurriedly sat down cross-legged to recover the elemental energy in his body and the strength in his body.

To be honest, if it wasn't for his perfect physique that had reached the peak of Level 1, Zi Chen wouldn't have been able to make it here alive.

There was spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the ancient road, but it wasn't very dense. In order to save some resources, Zi Chen relied on absorbing the spiritual energy of the outside world to replenish his elemental energy.

This time, it took him a total of seven days to replenish his elemental energy.

After seven days, Zi Chen finally reached his peak state. The torvosaurus also used these seven days to have a good sleep and completely recovered.

Before they came, the torvosaurus' strength was around Level 1. During these few years, it had grown once and reached Level 2. The combat strength of a Level 2 torvosaurus couldn't be underestimated. Just the strength of its body was comparable to Zi Chen's perfect physique. Other than that, the energy contained within the dragon crystal was also extremely terrifying.

During these few years, Zi Chen had saved the torvosaurus several times, and the torvosaurus had also saved Zi Chen. It could be said that one man and one dragon had supported each other to reach this point.

"This is the first nine ancient road. There should be a place for trading. Follow me and find it."

Zi Chen gestured for the torvosaurus to get up. He then took large strides forward. As for the torvosaurus, it followed Zi Chen and circled at a low altitude.

During the battles along the way, Zi Chen understood that walking was much safer than flying in the air.

But after walking for several hours, Zi Chen still didn't find any traces. Not to mention human traces, Zi Chen didn't even see a single building.

If it wasn't for the fact that this place had Heaven and Earth Ling Qi, Zi Chen would definitely have thought that he had gone the wrong way.

Four hours later, Zi Chen began to fly at a low altitude. After flying for several thousand miles, Zi Chen finally saw a building.

Seeing the building, Zi Chen didn't reveal any excitement on his face. That was because these buildings were all dilapidated. Moreover, after the baptism of time, these buildings had already weathered away. Just the slightest tremor would cause the entire building to turn to dust.

"No one has set foot here for at least several tens of thousands of years. Is there still anything to trade here?" Zi Chen's face was clearly filled with doubt.

After that, Zi Chen continued forward. Along the way, he found many more buildings, but they were all undoubtedly dilapidated. As Zi Chen flew past, these buildings turned to dust one after another.

Seeing this deathly silent place, Zi Chen's expression became more and more unsightly. In these nine years, he had nearly exhausted all of his resources. If he didn't exchange the useless resources for useful resources, he wouldn't be able to pass the next trial.

As the buildings turned to dust, Zi Chen's heart sank.

From these buildings, it wasn't difficult to see that this place used to be bustling. It seemed that many cultivators had come here. But now, this place was deathly silent. There was nothing.
