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 tackle them immediately—just manage what you're able to. Plus, I won't have you laboring without any compensation...”

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

Taking down a gate of life and death required venturing straight into the Netherworld's den, risking everything he had. Such a desperate bet was beyond what he could handle.

Even upon hitting the Destiny Realm cultivation stage, would he really stoop to such wild measures?

“I figured that without dangling some benefits, kid, you'd hesitate to move. These challenges serve as my trials for you. Should you eliminate over thirty gates of life and death across the Hidden Flow Universe, I'll hand over the Jiyulotianjing that Yan Luo himself devised in the past,” Luo explained.

Over thirty gates of life and death?

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

“Indeed, the Jiyulotianjing stands as a profound secret of life and death, forged by Lord Yan Luo through the laws governing life and death. I'm certain this would pique your curiosity,” Luo replied.

Yang Chen remarked, “I possess my own life and death secret as well—what sets this Jiyulotianjing apart?”

“You kid, fearlessness suits you well. Alright, I'll explain: if Yan Luo claimed his grasp of life and death ranked second in the entire starry sky of the universe, nobody would dare assert they're first. Since you're curious about what makes the Jiyulotianjing unique, listen up—Jingming Daoist perished with his soul dispersed, yet I revived him later, keeping his mind intact. Could your Reincarnation Scripture accomplish that?” Luo stated.

Yang Chen stood there in shock before breaking into a grin, “My Reincarnation Scripture truly can't pull off such feats.”

It all came down to putting things side by side for comparison.

He had assumed the Reincarnation Scripture held unmatched power, but stacking it against the Luo Tian Scripture revealed a clear gap in their capabilities.

“Our Lord Yan Luo once wielded such command over life and death that it challenged the heavens themselves, reshaping the very rules and birthing a Netherworld from nothing. Weaving the souls of the departed into that realm—the mastery of those laws still towers far above your current level,” Luo added softly.

Hearing Luo's explanation now, Yang Chen had to concede that Yan Luo's insight into life and death from those days far outshone his own.

“Should you master Lord Yan Luo's Luo Tian Scripture, your power would surge dramatically. He crafted that secret at the pinnacle of the Heavenly Extreme Realm, and yet you dared to pit it against your Reincarnation Scripture,” Luo said, shaking his head in mild exasperation.

Yang Chen's interest sparked fully as he responded, “So, if junior clears the gates of life and death from thirty interfaces, will senior pass on the Jiyulotianjing to 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, while the Death Scroll rests with Yan. Uniting both scrolls would let you dominate the world. That said... I can provide 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 offer a single Life Scroll?

Still, even the Life Scroll beat having nothing at all. For the moment, Luo's words assured him that possessing just the Life Scroll would suffice!

“Junior accepts senior's terms. I'll strive to dismantle those Gates of Life and Death!” Yang Chen declared.

One motive was the Luo Tian Scripture itself, the other purely for his own sake!

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

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

Yang Chen didn't hang around longer; 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 uproar from outside reached his ears.

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

“When will this Yang Chen finally end his cultivation? Is he deliberately stalling us!”

Yang Chen glanced around and noticed more than a single Heavenly Fate Realm expert posted outside. In total, at least five such powerhouses stood among them.

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

“Has Yang Chen completed his cultivation?”

“At last, this kid has ended his cultivation!”

“Here we are, Destiny Realm powerhouses, twiddling our thumbs for some Heaven-separated Realm cultivator. What's the meaning of this!”

“Young Master!” Chunyue and Lingshuang hurried in without delay.

Yang Chen inquired, “Who exactly are these Outer Sect heavyweights? How much time have they spent waiting?”

Chunyue and Lingshuang replied, “Outside, there are four Destiny Realm figures in all; they've lingered for roughly three days now.”

“Just those four?” Yang Chen questioned.

“Not quite—Elder Hongluan arrived before them. Learning you were in seclusion, she chose to wait patiently without interruption, stating she'd enter once you were ready,” 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 raised no issues and instructed, “Invite Elder Hongluan to join me first.”

Chunyue and Lingshuang departed swiftly.

“What's Yang Chen playing at?”

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

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

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

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

Grumbles from several Heavenly Fate Realm powerhouses rang out, including one voice Yang Chen recognized all too well: Ye Fengyi, who had once praised him lavishly at the Round Moon Palace.

Yang Chen caught the complaints from beyond the door but paid them no mind, biding his time until a striking young woman in red, with refined features, stepped into view.

As she crossed the threshold and faced Yang Chen, her luminous eyes sparkled like clear pools, and she offered a warm smile. “Young Master Yang Chen, I am Hongluan!”

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

Hongluan returned the smile and suggested, “If Young Master Yang Chen has no qualms, feel free to address me as Elder Sister Hongluan.”

“In that case, I gladly will,” Yang Chen replied, smiling back.

Hongluan maintained her courteous air and continued, “Young Master Yang Chen, I'm sure you've surmised my reason for coming. It concerns the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine—may I ask...”
