C854 A Piece of Rotten Wood
The door opened and an old man in a black robe walked in. He had a kind face and a gentle smile on his face. He didn't seem threatening at all.
Chu Kuangsheng glanced at him and used his Mental Energy to sense him. He knew the strength of the other party.
A peak Yin Yang Stage Rank Six was on par with that Xuan Lingfeng from the Profound Heaven Sect.
"Tell me, why did senior come looking for me?" He restrained the fluctuation in his heart and said in a flat tone.
The old man smiled and said, "Young Master Chu, don't worry. Can you follow me to meet the patriarch?"
"Can't you say it here?" Chu Kuangsheng raised his eyebrows and asked.
The old man shook his head and said, "Patriarch has something that he wants to give to you."
"What is it?" Chu Kuangsheng's eyes flashed as he asked.
The old man smiled and said, "I'm not sure either, so I need Young Master Chu to make a trip there."
"Can you tell me the benefits I will get from this trip?" Chu Kuangsheng went straight to the point.
He was just a stranger to these natives. Therefore, without absolute benefits, he couldn't go there.
"We can increase the success rate of Young Master Chu entering the Life Death Continent."
The old man didn't try to cover it up. He said straightforwardly, "Young Master Chu should know that even if you obtain the quota for the advanced magnetic field, you won't be able to reach the Life Death Continent with 100% success rate."
Chu Kuangsheng nodded. He did not deny this fact. Because the Shattering Space that was surrounding the Life Death Continent was too terrifying. There was no way that they could pass through it safely. Even the things in the advanced magnetic field couldn't do it.
"Do you have a way?" His eyes lit up as he asked.
The old man nodded and said, "My clan has lived here for over a thousand years, so it's only natural that we have some tricks up our sleeves."
Upon hearing this, Chu Kuangsheng pondered for a moment before asking, "Can you guarantee that I will definitely pass the Shattering Space?"
Upon hearing this, the old man couldn't help but smile. He shook his head and said, "No, but 90% of it should be guaranteed."
Ninety percent?
Chu Kuangsheng's heart shook, and his eyes revealed a hint of surprise. One should know that the question he asked just now was merely a probing question, and not his true thoughts.
In his point of view, the things within the high grade magnetic field could allow a person to pass through the Shattering Space by sixty percent. It would already be considered pretty good if these natives could increase the probability by ten percent.
But now, the other party actually said a probability of 90%. How could he not be shocked?
One had to know that those intermediate magnetic fields, the things in the low-level magnetic fields, only gave people a 40% or even lower chance of passing through the Shattering Space.
"What about Young Master Chu's answer?" The old man asked with a smile.
Chu Kuangsheng pondered for a long time, and a smile slowly emerged on his face. "Since that's the case, I'll follow senior for a trip."
Every increase in success rate meant that his own life would be a little more secure. He did not want to lose his life in the Shattering Space for nothing.
"Young Master Chu, please follow me." The old man smiled and immediately led the way.
Seeing this, Chu Kuangsheng immediately followed.
Along the way, the two of them walked around the Myriad Magnetism City for a long time before stopping in an ancient bamboo house.
"The patriarch is waiting for you inside. Young Master Chu, please do as you wish." The old man stretched out his hand and said with a smile.
Chu Kuangsheng nodded and walked into the bamboo house.
Crack!
He pushed open the bamboo door and saw several old figures. Chu Kuangsheng looked up and his eyes swept across the old men on both sides. Finally, his gaze landed on an old man in linen clothes in the middle.
The old man had an old face, wrinkled skin, and his whole body was emitting the aura of death, as if he had just passed away.
However, all of this was just an appearance. This could be seen from the old man's eyes, which were flickering with a bright light from time to time.
"Young Master Chu, please take a seat!" The old man slowly stood up, and said with a smile while bending his body.
The old men on both sides also looked over. There was a trace of doubt in their eyes.
Chu Kuangsheng smiled and did not stand on ceremony. He sat down on a bamboo chair by the side.
"May I know why senior has called me here?" He went straight to the point.
"Young Master Chu is really straightforward."
The old man smiled faintly and said, "My name is Shi Mu. Young Master Chu, you can call me Elder Shea."
Chu Kuangsheng nodded but did not say anything. He knew that this Elder Shea still had something to say.
Seeing his reaction, the old man smiled and continued, "Our race has lived here for more than a thousand years. We are tired of everything here and want to go out for a walk."
Chu Kuangsheng's eyes sparkled and said, "What do you mean by that?"
He clearly remembered that there was a teleportation formation that led to the outside world. Why would this man say that he was tired of everything here and wanted to go out for a walk?
"Hehe!"
Elder Shea shook his head and said, "Young Master Chu might not know. Our race is forced to stay here."
A sadness was revealed in his turbid eyes when he spoke until this point. "Countless years ago, someone had placed a curse on us, a race that lives on super large meteorites. It caused us to be unable to leave this place for even an inch. "
Curse?
Chu Kuangsheng was shocked. Who had placed this curse that could last for a thousand years?
If that was the case, then this person who had placed the curse must have heaven-defying strength.
As if he had seen through the doubts in his heart, Elder Shea revealed a bitter smile and said, "We don't know who this person is either. We just vaguely heard that this person specializes in the Dao of Cursing and can take someone's life thousands of miles away."
Chu Kuangsheng's heart trembled. He nearly blurted out, "Curse Master!"
In this world, there were always some people who did not walk the ordinary path and practiced all kinds of things.
This kind of expert who practiced curses was called a Curse Master. Its rarity far exceeded that of an alchemist.
"Young Master Chu has also heard of the Curse Master." Elder Shea stared at him in surprise.
Very few people knew about cultivators like Curse Master.
"I've seen it in an ancient book before." Chu Kuangsheng casually made up a story and dealt with it.
Hearing this, Elder Shea did not continue to dig deeper. He smiled and said, "The reason why I invited Young Master Chu this time is to ask Young Master Chu to bring something into Life Death Continent and help us remove the curse."
"What is it?" Chu Kuangsheng restrained his emotions and asked in a deep voice.
Elder Shea stretched out his palm and slowly spread out his five fingers. As the light gathered, a piece of black rotten wood appeared in his hand.0
There seemed to be some ancient patterns on the rotten wood. However, due to the passage of time, it appeared intermittent and incoherent.
"Is it this thing?" Chu Kuangsheng stared at the rotten wood, a hint of surprise flashing across his eyes.
What exactly was this thing that made these natives invite him here?
