A buzzing sound emanated from the Epang Palace, which trembled. Killing was forbidden here, and Jiang Yuan had clearly violated the rules of the Epang Palace.
But Jiang Yuan's identity is unknown. He has already begun the test of the fifth tomb guardian, and his power in the Tomb of the War God has also undergone a qualitative change.
"Don't kill me! I know where the elixir of immortality is!"
The tip of the God-Slaying Spear rested on Xu Yuan's forehead, and fine beads of cold sweat covered the old man's brow.
"Oh, the elixir of immortality? You really believe it exists!" Jiang Yuan sneered, mocking, "It's just a legend. You think you can use a legend to delay your own death?"
"No, the elixir of immortality really exists!" Xu Yuan was so frightened that his face turned pale, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, fearing that the God-Slaying Spear would pierce his head.
"Ha, that's your problem. Compared to this vague and ethereal thing, I want to kill you right now!"
Jiang Yuan twisted the barrel of his gun, and a cold glint shone from the tip—the light of death.
"My ancestor left behind a message before he passed away!" Xu Yuan said without pausing for a moment.
"What did you say?" Jiang Yuan asked, still holding his gun.
"You have to promise not to kill me!" Although Xu Yuan was afraid, he knew this was his only chance to survive, and the cunning Xu Yuan was determined to grasp this lifeline.
"If your words are valuable to me, then I won't kill you!" Jiang Yuan promised.
"Words are no proof; I need you to swear an oath!" Xu Yuan pressed his advantage.
"Alright, then let's not waste any more time!" Jiang Yuan's arm muscles bulged, and he activated Hidden Kill, unleashing boundless killing intent.
"He really wants to kill me!"
A horrifying thought popped into Xu Yuan's mind. He dodged the deadly attack with a narrow turn, and at that moment, he had no intention of bargaining.
"Young man, I'll talk, I'll talk, put the gun away!" Xu Yuan was truly terrified; he had cursed Jiang Yuan a thousand times in his heart.
This kind of person is a complete madman. No wonder he dared to challenge the powerful Divine Emperor Family all by himself. There is no reasoning with this kind of madman.
"This is your last chance, so cherish it!" Jiang Yuan's gaze was icy, looking at Xu Yuan as if he were a dead man.
"At the center of the Golden Man's Tomb, on all four sides, the Fire Tower of Life, nourishing ten thousand people with the earth's breath, the immortal universe is hidden within!" Xu Yuan spoke these four sentences with great solemnity.
"What do you mean?" Jiang Yuan had a few thoughts of his own, but he wanted to hear Xu Yuan's opinion.
"Um... I really don't know!" Xu Yuan stammered.
"If you don't know what it means, then it's of no value to me!" Jiang Yuan said calmly.
Xu Yuan swallowed hard; the threat in those words was obvious.
"Do you not want to talk, or do you not want to live?" Jiang Yuan smiled cruelly, changed the position of the God-Slaying Spear, and thrust it towards Xu Yuan's thigh.
"ah!!!"
Xu Yuan clutched his thigh and screamed in pain, feeling the blood draining rapidly from the wound.
Jiang Yuan ignored it. He possessed the characteristics of devouring and bloodlust, meaning that the God-Slaying Spear also carried a hint of predatory nature. One could imagine what would happen if one was pierced by the God-Slaying Spear.
"I'll talk, I'll talk!" Xu Yuan shouted in despair.
"You should have said so earlier, you didn't get shot for nothing!" Jiang Yuan slowly pulled the gun back, but he deliberately made a big movement when he pulled it back, making Xu Yuan grimac in pain.
"Of these four sentences, I only know the meaning of the last one, 'The elixir of immortality is hidden in the universe.' 'Immortal' refers to the elixir of immortality, and 'universe' refers to the Qiankun Hall in the Epang Palace. In other words, the elixir of immortality is right here!" Xu Yuan blurted out what he knew in a breakdown.
"Just as I thought!" Jiang Yuan frowned.
He had a guess when Xu Yuan said those words, but Xu Yuan's interpretation made him understand even more clearly.
The center of the Jinren Tomb signifies the core position of the Twelve Jinren in the Tomb of the Military Lord; the four sides of the Life Fire Tower also represent the location of the Flame of Life; the Earth Breath of Ten Thousand Deaths likely refers to the formation process of the Earth's Sigh; and finally, the Undying Universe Treasure, which is easier to understand!
"I'm telling the truth, the elixir of immortality is hidden here!" Xu Yuan thought Jiang Yuan didn't believe him, so he tried his best to prove that he was telling the truth.
"Are you sure?" Jiang Yuan raised the tip of his spear, a wicked smile playing on his lips.
Xu Yuan's eyes darted away. Blood was seeping from his right hand, which was behind his back, and the crimson blood was mingling with something in the Qiankun Palace.
"You possess the identity of a purple-robed disciple, and I also possess the bloodline of the Nine Li. If the two of us join forces, wouldn't the elixir of immortality be within our grasp?" Xu Yuan, with his right hand behind his back, coaxed Jiang Yuan, hoping that he would join forces with him.
"There's only one elixir of immortality. If we get it, how should we split it between the two of us?" Jiang Yuan's eyes revealed greed, but there was a hint of amusement hidden in his heart.
"Who said there's only one elixir of immortality?" Xu Yuan stood up, no longer appearing restrained.
Jiang Yuan frowned and asked solemnly, "You mean, how many pills of the elixir of immortality are there?"
"Haha, although there is no record of my ancestors' deeds in the ancestral home, I happened to obtain a copy of my ancestors' notes. The notes record that my ancestors mastered a technique for cultivating elixirs, which is enough to produce two elixirs in a hundred years!" Xu Yuan said excitedly, and unconsciously moved closer to Jiang Yuan, wanting to share his passion.
"One furnace, two pills!" Jiang Yuan was indeed shocked by this statement.
If Xu Fu truly mastered the art of cultivating immortality through alchemy, then he must have refined more than just two elixirs of immortality. According to the Lord of War, Xu Fu spent a full 327 years refining the elixir of immortality. At an average rate of one elixir per year, that means he must have at least four elixirs of immortality.
