Xuantian Dragon Zun

The core temple, inside the collection hall!

Du Long, as the new elder Hongwu, came here without any hindrance, preparing to consult various collections of information within the authority of the elders.

Different from the imagined scene filled with countless classics, the collection hall inside the Jinshan Temple is empty without any classics.

Du Long randomly found a seat by the window in the main hall and sat down, and then directly communicated with the temple spirit in charge of the collection hall to find the collection information he needed.

He only needs to report the information he wants to check, and recording array stones will immediately appear in front of him out of thin air, recording all the information he can check.

As a monk at the peak of the six-star realm, he can read a large amount of information from the recording formation stone in an instant, and remember all of this information in his mind.

This so-called Jinshan Temple Collection Hall is actually like a server that records countless information, and Du Long is accessing the large amount of data stored in the server.

Of course, all the information he can access is within the scope of his authority, and some information beyond the scope of his authority is simply impossible to ascertain!

He kept making various requests, and the collection hall formation spirit followed the rules and presented a large amount of information within the scope of authority in front of him.

As time went by, Du Long's understanding of the world of Jinshan gradually became clearer and clearer from the previous vagueness.

‘The world of Jinshan and the so-called Cemetery of Gods on the periphery are actually one body of time and space? ! ’

‘The Cemetery of the Gods is a cemetery where a large number of gods broke out in a war on the periphery of the Jinshan world, and finally fell one after another and formed a cemetery? ! ’

‘That war seemed to be related to the birth of the prehistoric battlefield ruins. Was it because of that war that a super eternal civilization was completely ended? ! ’

'pity! My authority is still not enough, I can only infer a general situation from a lot of information! ’

‘What kind of place is this Jinshan world in front of me? ! And why did a world-destroying war break out between eternal gods in prehistory? ! There is no way to find out the top secrets like this! ’

‘. . . . . . ’

Sitting there comfortably, Du Long began to think secretly after exploring a large amount of information.

With hundreds of millions of distractions, he was able to synthesize the massive amount of information he had just obtained, find some connections among the thousands of clues, and successfully deduce some secrets hidden behind the massive information!

To sum up, it is that a prehistoric world-destroying war ended an extremely powerful and eternal civilization, and the prehistoric battlefield remains are a relic after that world-destroying war.

This relic has not been swallowed up and disappeared by Xuantian's chaotic energy. Instead, it will exist in its current state for a long time, and then it will be opened to the outside world every long period of time.

As to why the world-destroying war broke out that year, and why the area around Jinshan World became one of the main battlefields, these are top secrets that even the elder Du Long has no right to know.

"Array Spirit! I need all the information related to the Jinshan Secret Realm!" After learning all the other information, Du Long finally put forward the most important goal of the trip.

Uh-huh!

A gleaming golden recording formation stone appeared in front of him out of thin air, and the Collection Hall formation spirit directly placed the information he needed in front of him without saying any more nonsense.

Du Long was not polite and directly sank his consciousness into the golden recording formation stone, and a large amount of information immediately emerged in his mind.

There didn't seem to be a lot of information related to the Jinshan Secret Realm. In just a moment, he checked all the information before he fell into deep thought again.

‘The Secret Realm of Jinshan is actually the foundation of Jinshan World and the foundation of Jinshan World’s existence? ! ’

‘The entire Jinshan World is actually an extremely important inheritance treasure, and the Jinshan Secret Realm is a place of inheritance within the inheritance treasure? ! ’

‘The Jinshan Secret Realm claims to be able to cultivate almost all eternal and powerful people. As long as a monk’s path of creation does not go astray, he has a chance to realize the true eternal path in the Jinshan Secret Realm? ! ’

‘And this Jinshan Secret Realm can only guide six-star monks to reach the six-star eternal limit at most. If you want the eternal inheritance of seven-stars and above, you have to ascend to the God Realm and find and enter the Jinshan World of the God Realm? ! ’

‘So, the Jinshan world is not unique. The prehistoric battlefields of four to six stars have corresponding levels of eternal inheritance. There are also similar existences on stars one to three and seven to nine? ! ’

‘. . . . . . ’

Various thoughts kept popping up in his mind. Du Long's understanding of the secret realm of Jinshan became more and more profound, and he had a vague guess in his heart.

‘Since this place is just a place of six-star eternal inheritance, then why are there still so many eternal gods from prehistoric civilizations breaking out in world-destroying wars around this world? ! ’

‘Logically speaking, since those people have become eternal gods, why are they still fighting to the death for this place of eternal inheritance? ! ’

‘The world of Jinshan and the secret realm of Jinshan are definitely not just what they appear on the surface, they are just a place of inheritance leading to eternity! ! ’

There was a vague guess in his mind, and he quickly analyzed these unexplained questions. This was also a direction Du Long was preparing to find opportunities to explore the world of Jinshan.

After getting all the information he wanted, Du Long walked out of the collection hall with a complicated expression. As he was about to leave the core temple and return to his mansion, his attention was attracted by several slightly hurried figures.

He saw several temple elders walking together in twos and threes, heading straight for a certain hall in the core temple. Du Long immediately followed them out of curiosity.

He soon came to a large hall where dozens of elders gathered. Compared to the rarely visited Collection Hall, this hall was much more popular.

Du Long subconsciously glanced at the plaque on the door of the palace and saw the words "Dou Zhan Palace" engraved on the plaque. He had some guesses about the function of this hall.

In the small square outside the main hall, there are two huge stone walls.

The scene of a fierce battle is being played on the stone wall on the left, and on the stone wall on the right is a ranking list, from which it can be seen that Hong Wu's name is ranked 271st.

This so-called ranking list is actually the ranking of 360 elders, and the battle scene on the other stone wall is a ranking challenge between two elders? !

"Do you think Elder Bai Jintao can successfully defeat Elder Song Ping and be promoted to the 100th ranked elder?!"

"I think it's a bit confusing! The top 100 has always been a huge watershed. Which of the top 100 elders has not reached a very high level of understanding of the eternal avenue?!"

"Yes! I heard that Elder Bai Jintao had just come out of seclusion in the Jinshan Secret Realm, and he immediately challenged Elder Song Ping. He must have greatly improved his strength during this retreat, right?!"

"Maybe! I have tried several challenges before but failed. I hope he can succeed this time!"

"..."

The whispers of many elders watching the battle rang in his ears, and Du Long immediately had some knowledge of the two elders who were fighting.

That Bai Jintao was an elder under the Holy Son, but the elder Song Ping who accepted the challenge was under the Holy Girl. He had met Du Long at the celebration banquet that had just ended.

Bai Jintao, ranked 103rd, directly surpassed the two elders to challenge Elder Song Ping, who was ranked 100th. The reason is probably because the two elders in front of him belong to the same camp of the Holy Son.

"Yo?! Isn't this Hongwu City Lord who just shined in the elder promotion arena?! I didn't expect you to come here just after promotion?! Is it possible that... you are so eager to challenge and... Continue to advance to a higher ranking?!"

Just as Du Long's thoughts were spinning, a slightly unkind voice suddenly sounded among the crowd, and many elders turned their heads to look at Du Long, who was standing there silently.

There were dozens of elders present, and nearly half of them belonged to the Saintess camp. They belonged to the same camp as Du Long, the new elder, but no one came forward to say hello to him at this moment.

At the celebration banquet not long ago, several elders here took the initiative to toast him, but that was probably for the sake of the saint and protector Zhao Pojun, right? !

In fact, these elders of the Saintess camp still resent the unpleasant words he shouted when he participated in the elder promotion competition. How dare they call the entire Saintess camp a bunch of weaklings? !

Therefore, when they saw Du Long being humiliated by the Holy Son camp, the elders of the Holy Lady camp seemed to be deaf and did not hear. No one stood up to speak for him.

After just glancing around, Du Long immediately understood everything from the changes in everyone's expressions. He immediately grinned with a meaningful sneer, then turned to look at the elder of the Holy Son camp who was the first to attack him.

"Who are you?! Tell me your name!"

As a newly promoted elder, he only knew most of the elders from the Saintess camp. As for the elders from the Holy Son camp in front of him, he really didn't know him.

"Hehe! The elder ranked 250th is me! Boy! Do you dare to challenge me?!" The elder from the Holy Son camp shouted in an extremely arrogant manner.

"It turned out to be two hundred and fifty?! No wonder he talks like a lunatic..."

Du Long responded casually and turned to look at the ranking list on the stone wall on the right. He quickly found the 250th position and saw a name called Cliff on it.

"Boy!" Cliff's face darkened on the spot after being scolded as a lunatic, and his eyes flashed fiercely as he said, "You must apologize for your rudeness, otherwise I have the right to launch a life-and-death duel against you!"

"How dare you wait for me here?!" Du Long looked at the other party with a playful smile and said: "First anger me, and then take the opportunity to challenge me to a life-and-death duel?! Your Saintess camp can't do anything other than these dirty tricks. Are you going to play some more advanced conspiracy?!"

"Hmph!" Cliff snorted coldly and said with a proud face: "Everyone has heard the offense you just made. According to the rules of the Presbyterian Church, you must either apologize in public or accept the challenge of a life-and-death duel. As long as there is no difference between you and me. If you rank no higher than fifty, you must accept the challenge!"

Du Long's expression was slightly stagnant. He didn't expect that the temple's senior officials would have such rules. The other party's sudden provocation must have been intentional, right? !

"It's impossible for me to apologize!" Du Long shook his head and replied coldly: "Therefore, I accept your challenge of a life-and-death duel, but before that I have to go to the Jinshan Secret Realm first, and wait until I get out. Fight with you!"

"Okay!" Cliff nodded and agreed without hesitation: "Anyway, each token can only stay in the secret territory of Jinshan for a maximum of one hundred years at a time. I can still wait for a mere hundred years!"

Du Long raised his brows again, but soon calmed down. He could only stay in the secret realm of Jinshan for one hundred years at a time, but it was a long period of one hundred epochs.

Because of this, many people only enter the Jinshan Secret Realm to make an all-out breakthrough when their practice reaches a certain most critical stage, instead of wasting any opportunity to enter the Jinshan Secret Realm.

Du Long was originally planning to wait for a while and wait for the right opportunity before entering the Jinshan Secret Realm. Now it seems that he has to go in first.

In front of everyone, Du Long glanced at the people around him expressionlessly, then he raised his feet and strode away from the square in front of the Dou Zhan Palace.

None of the elders left with him, but everyone's consciousness fell on Du Long, and they all wanted to see if he really wanted to use up the opportunity to enter the Jinshan secret realm.

And he did not disappoint everyone. He actually came directly to the palace where the entrance to the Jinshan Secret Realm was, and then stepped into it resolutely.

Wow!

Witnessing Du Long entering the Jinshan Secret Realm, an uproar immediately broke out in the square in front of the Dou Zhan Palace. Many elders took out their own messenger formation stones and began to spread the shocking news.

Naturally, these people also included the elders who belonged to the Saintess camp. Many of them actually had smiles on their faces that were delighted with the misfortune. They were not worried at all because Du Long was about to launch a life-and-death duel with Cliff. .

You know, elder ranking challenges usually don't kill people because of some rules, but the life and death duel challenge between elders is to fight to the death, and one elder will definitely fall in the life and death duel.

Once Du Long falls in the duel, the voting advantage just gained by the Saintess camp will be lost!

This news soon reached the ears of the Saint and others. She immediately summoned four of her subordinates to discuss the matter, and in the end she had no choice but to accept the realistic result.

When they learned the cause of this life-and-death duel challenge, they all understood that the matter was irreversible. All that was left was to hope that Du Long could defeat Cliff, the elder who deliberately stirred up trouble after coming out of the Jinshan Secret Realm.
