"Paying fifty million Yuan Crystals will allow you to choose any door and meditate within its space for one hour. If you do not have enough Yuan Crystals, you can pay with equivalent Immortal Jade, Immortal Crystals, Demon Jade, Demon Crystals, or other items," said the white-robed girl.
Upon hearing this, Ayao thought to herself, "Fifty million for an hour, that sounds quite expensive. Let's go see what extraordinary things are inscribed on the stone tablets inside."
She took out a storage bag from her storage space, which contained exactly fifty million Yuan Crystals. Yuan Crystals are the essence condensed from the Yuan energy of heaven and earth.
Holding the storage bag containing Yuan Crystals, A Yao said to the girl in white robes, "If I give you these fifty million Yuan Crystals, can I choose any door to enter?"
"Yes."
"If I don't stay for a full hour, can I go to another door after I come out?"
"Sorry, that won't work. There will be no compensation for leaving early."
"What if I go overtime inside?"
"Then you can pay the difference when you come out," said the girl in white.
After hearing this, A Yao tossed the Yuan Crystal in her hand to the white-robed girl and then walked forward step by step. As she walked, she looked around, and when she saw the door with the words "Ninth Ancient Era" written on it, she took flight and flew towards it. She passed through the golden light curtain and entered.
————
This is a world of yellowish-brown. Ayao stands high in the sky, looking down at the earth below. Large and small stone tablets stand on the yellowish-brown earth, exuding an ancient aura. The scratches and cracks on the stone tablets add to their sense of age.
These stone tablets range in size from large ones that are like walls stretching for thousands of miles, standing on the earth with their tops reaching into the clouds, to small ones that are only the size of a palm, floating in mid-air.
Before A Yao entered, several people had already attained enlightenment here.
Ayao watched as some sat cross-legged in front of a stone tablet, seemingly deep in thought; others cast spells at the tablet, causing it to resonate; still others entered the tablet's interior with their divine sense, seeking enlightenment within.
When Ayao entered, several gazes and spiritual senses turned towards her. Because Ayao was wearing a veil and her cloak completely concealed her aura, no one could see anything. Those people only glanced at her before looking away and continuing to meditate.
Ayao casually flew towards a stone tablet that was a hundred feet tall. The inscription on the tablet was in the ancient Zheluo script, which few people could understand now.
After glancing at the stone tablet, Ayao looked at the others and discovered that the inscriptions on these stone tablets were all in ancient language that was almost a dead language.
Each stone tablet records something extremely valuable, some even incredibly precious. For example, the stone tablet in front of her records a forbidden technique from the ancient times called the Heavenly Gang Five Thunder Curse. With the knowledge of Immortal Emperor A Yao, she could tell at a glance that this was a top-tier thunder technique.
But Ayao can say with certainty that very few people can understand it.
"What kind of scribbling is this?! It's a waste of my time."
A demon immortal dressed in a yellow robe flew around the area and found that he couldn't understand any of the stone tablets. He was so angry that he spewed smoke.
He left in despair.
Another white-haired Earth Immortal girl also couldn't understand all the stone tablets, but she was unwilling to lose 50 million Yuan Crystals. She took out a jade slip to make a copy, but the jade slip shattered halfway through the copying.
She was still unwilling to give up and tried to use a recording stone or other magical artifacts to record the event, but the artifacts exploded and she could not record anything. When she tried to copy it with a pen, the pen and paper caught fire.
She tried to memorize them by rote, but these profound characters were not so easy to remember. The runes containing the rules of the Great Dao consumed a terrifying amount of spiritual energy. If she did not know how to force her to memorize them, her spiritual energy would be consumed even faster.
She was so angry she spewed smoke: "Damn it! Damn it!"
The girl left unwillingly.
As Ayao watched them leave, she thought to herself: This Black Nest Lord really knows how to do business. Although all these stone tablets are extremely precious, they are all written in ancient script and are encrypted.
Even those who understand these characters must decipher them before they can comprehend them. And if you want to comprehend them, an hour is not enough. An hour costs fifty million yuan crystals. It would take at least several days to comprehend a stone tablet. Wouldn't that make them richer than they could ever be?
A few days is a short time; I'm afraid some people might go bankrupt trying to decipher a single stone tablet.
If we can finally obtain what's on the stone tablet, that would be fine. But what if we go bankrupt and fail at the last hurdle? That would be truly tragic.
Since A Yao had actually come, he certainly couldn't waste his fifty million Yuan Crystals. Seeing that the Heavenly Gang Five Thunder Spell was interesting, he immediately set up a magic array next to her and began to comprehend it.
Zhe Luowen was her forte, and she was also skilled in thunder magic in her previous life, so she quickly memorized the technique of the Heavenly Gang Five Thunder Spell. She entered the internal space of the stone tablet in front of her with her divine sense and tried it out inside.
Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—the five elements of thunder intertwine to form a dense electric grid. Five different types of lightning surround the body, transforming into a thunder dragon, a thunder phoenix, a thunder ox, a thunder tiger, and a thunder qilin the moment they are released.
Ayao didn't dare to cause trouble here. She only tried her hand at it before leaving the interior of the stone tablet and then continued to look at the other stone tablets.
She was keeping track of the time, not wanting to waste any.
Everyone else, unable to understand these ancient characters, left disappointed after numerous unsuccessful attempts to record and memorize them.
Only Ayao remained here.
When Ayao arrived in front of a huge black stone tablet, she was surprised. The tablet contained the method for making a talisman—the Time Talisman.
The Time Talisman—the Time Talisman that Master had just acquired using Phoenix Blood—had its crafting method also found on these stone tablets. Ayao was very interested and immediately began to study it.
This Time Talisman is recorded in divine script. There are restrictions on this stone tablet, so you can only see half of it. You must break the restrictions to continue to comprehend it.
Ayao gritted her teeth. This restriction was extremely ancient and of a rare type. If she wanted to break it, it would take her at least six days. Six days! That's seventy-two hours. Each hour costs fifty million yuan crystals...
Three billion six billion!!!
Just thinking about it makes my wallet ache!
Six days, that's an estimate, it could take longer.
Having broken the restriction, one must continue to comprehend it. How long this comprehension will take depends on the following content. If one reaches a crucial point, another restriction may appear before one can continue reading...
Just thinking about it makes Ah Yao feel like she's going to collapse. This Black Nest Lord is such a shrewd businessman!
Once the process begins, no one will be willing to give up halfway, so they can only continue to extend the time and keep going. Anyone who comes here and enters a state of enlightenment will probably have their wallets ripped off.
Hehe~
A familiar soft laugh sounded behind Ayao.
As A Yao turned around, she saw a man dressed in white standing behind her, his slender hand holding a jade flute which he was turning. His golden eyes were smiling as he looked at her.
"Luo Bai!" A Yao exclaimed in surprise.
