The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3218: 3213: Luo Tian Scripture_1

Luo spoke in a gentle tone, “I understand how tough it is for you to handle these tasks, but I’m not demanding you do them immediately—just manage what you’re able to. Plus, I won’t have you working without any compensation…”

“What reward does senior intend to offer this junior?” Yang Chen shot a look at Luo, and truthfully, without some incentive, he had zero interest in tackling these matters.

Taking down a gate of life and death required venturing straight into the Netherworld’s den, risking everything he had. He wasn’t about to throw caution to the wind like that.

Even after hitting the Destiny Realm cultivation stage, would he really stoop to such reckless acts?

“I figured that without dangling some benefits, you brat wouldn’t budge an inch. These challenges are my way of testing you. Should you manage to dismantle over thirty gates of life and death across the Hidden Flow Universe, I’ll hand over the Jiyulotianjing, crafted personally by Yan Luo in his time,” Luo explained.

Over thirty gates of life and death?

Yang Chen drew in a sharp breath and held off on agreeing right away, instead inquiring, “Jiyulotianjing?”

“That’s right, the Jiyulotianjing is a profound secret of life and death, drawn from the laws by Lord Yan Luo himself. I’m sure it’ll catch your interest,” Luo replied.

Yang Chen remarked, “I possess my own life and death secret— what makes this Jiyulotianjing stand out?”

“You really have no fear, do you, kid? Alright, I’ll lay it out for you: if Yan Luo claimed his grasp on life and death was anything less than the best, nobody in the entire starry sky of the universe would dare say they’re superior. Since you’re curious about what sets the Jiyulotianjing apart, here’s the deal—Jingming Daoist perished and his soul dispersed, yet I revived him later, keeping his mind intact. Could your Reincarnation Scripture pull off something like that?” Luo stated.

Yang Chen stood there, shocked, before breaking into a grin, “My Reincarnation Scripture truly can’t accomplish such feats.”

It was simply a case of one item outshining another.

He’d always viewed the Reincarnation Scripture as incredibly potent, but stacking it against the Luo Tian Scripture revealed a clear gap in their capabilities.

“Lord Yan Luo’s mastery of life and death once challenged the heavens themselves, reshaping the very rules and forging an entire Netherworld from it. Weaving the souls of the departed into that realm—these principles are still way beyond your current level,” Luo added softly.

Hearing Luo’s explanation now, Yang Chen had to admit that Yan Luo’s insight into life and death from back then far surpassed his own.

“Should you master Lord Yan Luo’s Luo Tian Scripture, your power would soar dramatically. It was devised by Lord Yan Luo at the pinnacle of the Heavenly Extreme Realm, and yet you dared to pit it against your Reincarnation Scripture,” Luo sighed, shaking his head in mild exasperation.

Yang Chen’s curiosity piqued, and he pressed, “So, if this junior clears the gates of life and death from thirty interfaces, will senior bestow the Jiyulotianjing upon me?”

“Naturally, though…” Luo cleared his throat with a couple of coughs.

“What’s the catch?” Yang Chen probed.

“However, I possess only the Life Scroll of the Jiyulotianjing—the Death Scroll remains with Yan. With both parts, you could dominate the world. But… I’m limited to offering just the Life Scroll,” Luo admitted without a hint of shame, chuckling as he stroked his beard.

Yang Chen felt a mix of amusement and irritation. After all that discussion, Luo could only provide a single Life Scroll?

Still, a Life Scroll beat having nothing at all. For the time being, Luo’s words assured him that even one scroll would suffice!

“This junior accepts senior’s terms. I’ll strive to eliminate those Gates of Life and Death!” Yang Chen declared.

One motive was the Luo Tian Scripture, and the other stemmed from his own needs!

After all, with Yan plotting against him, he had every reason to strike back!

“Excellent, I look forward to seeing what you achieve!” Luo responded, clearly pleased.

Yang Chen didn’t hang around; after chatting over a few more details with Luo, he departed.

Upon his return, Yang Chen anticipated the frantic efforts of the other mighty figures searching for him.

Sure enough, the instant he emerged, the noise from outside reached his ears.

“Has your Yang Chen still not wrapped up his cultivation?”

“This Yang Chen hasn’t completed his session yet? Is he deliberately dragging his feet to mess with us!”

Yang Chen glanced around and noticed it wasn’t merely one Heavenly Fate Realm expert posted outside. In total, there were no fewer than five such powerhouses present.

He kept his composure with a smile and called out, “Chunyue, Lingshuang, step inside first.”

“Has Yang Chen concluded his cultivation?”

“At last, this kid has emerged from his cultivation!”

“We Destiny Realm powerhouses waiting on a single Heaven-separated Realm cultivator—what in the world is happening!”

“Young Master!” Chunyue and Lingshuang hurried in.

Yang Chen inquired, “Who are these formidable figures from the Outer Sect? How long have they been here?”

Chunyue and Lingshuang replied, “Altogether, four Destiny Realm individuals are out there; they’ve been waiting roughly three days.”

“Just those four?” Yang Chen questioned.

“Actually, Elder Hongluan is there too. She arrived before these four Destiny Realm experts. Learning you were in seclusion, she chose to wait patiently outside without interrupting. She mentioned it’d be fine to summon her once you’re done,” Chunyue and Lingshuang explained.

Yang Chen recalled Elder Hongluan, the one Gu Jianchou had mentioned to him earlier.

“Is that her?”

Recalling her deferential demeanor, he had no qualms and said, “Invite Elder Hongluan in first.”

Chunyue and Lingshuang promptly went out.

“What’s Yang Chen getting at?”

“Esteemed seniors, kindly hold on a bit longer. My Young Master wishes to meet Elder Hongluan ahead of others. She arrived first and waited outside, so we must honor the order of arrival,” Chunyue and Lingshuang announced.

The Heavenly Extreme Realm powerhouses stared in disbelief, eyes bulging.

“What’s this Yang Chen implying—that we Destiny Realm experts must line up to meet him?”

“Has respect for elders vanished? Does he even regard us?”

Grumbles from several Heavenly Fate Realm powerhouses rang out, one voice strikingly familiar to Yang Chen—it belonged to Ye Fengyi, who had once praised Yang Chen at the Round Moon Palace.

Yang Chen caught the complaints from outside but paid them no mind, biding his time until a striking young woman in red, with a refined and elegant look, stepped into view before him.

As the woman approached and faced Yang Chen, her luminous eyes sparkled like clear pools, and she offered a gentle smile, “Young Master Yang Chen, I’m Hongluan!”

“Have a seat, please, Elder Hongluan,” Yang Chen invited warmly.

Hongluan beamed and suggested, “If Young Master Yang Chen doesn’t object, feel free to address me as Elder Sister Hongluan.”

“In that case, I gladly will,” Yang Chen replied with a grin.

At present, Hongluan showed utmost respect and continued, “Young Master Yang Chen, I suspect you’ve already surmised why I’m here. It concerns the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine—may I ask…”
