“Hah, hah, hah! Of course! Since you call me senior, let’s just have a chat! It is always good to chat with a new guy in this place!” The dry corpse exclaimed delightedly and then started to ask questions.

“Young man, are you married?”

“Do you have a Cultivation Companion?”

“How old are you?”

“How long have you been a cultivator?”

“Which sect or academy are you from?”

“Don’t tell me you are a poor disbanded cultivator!”

“Do you still have unfulfilled wishes?”

That dry corpse threw out a lot of questions.

Xu Que said with embarrassment, “Senior, could you change the topic? I want to know something about this place!”

“Oh, I see! You should have asked me at the beginning! However, there is nothing I can say about this place, except that it was a former residence of the God of Hell!” The dry corpse replied.

“A former residence? So, the inheritance of the God of Hell is really here?” Xu Que asked curiously.

“Hah, hah! Exactly! This is the place for that inheritance! No, we can’t say it is an inheritance! We should say this place is designed for us to acquire the mighty physique!” The dry corpse said.

Xu Que was surprised by his words, “What do you mean?”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk! What an ignorant young man! Just concentrate your Celestial Core Power into your eyes and you can see everything through those clouds and mists! Don’t be terrified by what you see!” The dry corpse said with a smile.

Hearing that, Xu Que concentrated his Celestial Core Power into his eyes. Then, he was surprised by what he saw. In front of him, a stone room was on his left. Inside the room, a giant golden dragon was sealed. The eyes of the lifeless dragon were closed tightly. It seemed the dragon had been dead for many years. However, its body was still wrapped in a dazzling golden light.

A real dragon!

This is a real dragon!

Xu Que felt his heart was beating faster. This was the first time he’d seen a real dragon ,and it was so giant and majestic! Powerful Metal Celestial Core Power was gushing out from the dragon’s body.

“What? Wait...” Xu Que started to look around as if an idea had occurred to him. As expected, he saw another four stone rooms where something was sealed in this area.

In one stone room, an ancient tree was sealed. The tree had facial features like eyes and nose. Its roots, which were like countless tentacles, were supporting its giant trunk. Apparently, it was a Treant...no, it should be a Tree Celestial! Behind the tree, a Kylin was sealed in a stone room. The Kylin was wrapped in blazing flames. It seemed the Kylin had also been dead for many years, the flames were still jumping from its body!

Then he saw a jade basin full of water and a heap of earth, which were sealed in another two stone rooms respectively. Five things which represented the five elements were sealed in the five stone rooms. All those things were extremely powerful. It was the first time Xu Que had seen them. He was totally shocked.

“Hah, hah! See that? They are the key factors to acquire the Mighty Body of Hades!” The dry corpse said with a smile.

Xu Que asked seriously, “So, does it mean that none of you acquired it?”

“Acquired it? Heh, heh, all of us failed to reach that step! How could we have acquired it?” The dry corpse continued with a self-mocking smile, “All of these things were prepared by the legendary God of Hell for his descendants! He tried to cultivate a mighty body which was more powerful than his, so that his descendants could be the new God of Hell!

It is a pity that a war fought among the Celestials ruined everything. This place fell to this world and attracted many greedy eyes, including mine. But all of us died in this place!”

“Why? What kind of danger is hidden on this path?” Xu Que asked.

He noticed a lot of corpses were lying in front of him. But only a few corpses could be seen at the far end of this path, which were severely damaged. The bone ashes were very close to the end of the path. He couldn’t see even one corpse at the end of the path, let alone the step.

“Young man, this stone path is not dangerous! It is a trial to test your willpower, endurance, and qualifications! Don’t waste your time! Just tread on the path, which hasn’t been trodden on for so many years!” The dry corpse said.

“Not dangerous?” Xu Que was amused, “It has turned all of you to corpses! How could you say it is not dangerous?”

“It is a trial!” The dry corpse said calmly.

“Nonsense! How could a trial be safe? But one point mentioned by you is correct! I don’t want to waste my time here! Anyway, I have no other way to go. I have to tread on this path sooner or later. So I choose to do it now!” Then Xu Que started to think about it seriously.

Just now, the System had told him this stone path was the only way out of this place. However, it was full of horrible restrictive spells, which were at the Celestial level. The System’s version was too low to break them. Also, spells like the Space-Breaking Spell were useless here!

So, this path had become Xu Que’s only way out of this place. Although it was very dangerous, he could obtain great fortune and opportunity if he could walk through it! Xu Que got excited when he thought of the dragon and Kylin which were sealed in the stone rooms. So he made up his mind to obtain the Mighty Body of Hades!

“Hey, young man! I didn’t expect you would figure it out in such a short time!” The dry corpse said curiously at this time.

During many years, a lot of people had come to this place. But none of them was bold enough to tread on this path immediately like Xu Que. Even the dry corpse had also stayed outside the path for six months before he made up his mind to tread on it.

“This is the way of our Exploding Heavens Faction! We just fight by undervaluing life and death!” Xu Que said with a smile. Then he was about to step on the stone plate.

“Wait!” Suddenly, the dry corpse stopped Xu Que. After a short pause, he continued, “Young man, actually, I suggest you should stay where you are and not tread on this path! You can live longer if you stay there! Although you will be quite lonely, you won’t need to withstand the suffering in here! When you can’t stand the loneliness and just want to die, you can come in!”

“Oh? What do you mean?” Xu Que asked.

“Alas! Once you come in, you will have to face suffering in your mind and your body at the same time! As I said just now, the God of Hell prepared this place for his descendants, whose bodies and qualifications are much more powerful than ours!”

Then the dry corpse said bitterly, “Actually, we are sentenced to death when we come to this place! So I suggest you stay outside of this path and just live without any suffering! When you want to die, you can come in or just commit suicide there, which is much more comfortable than the feeling in here! This is an advice from me, a guy who knows everything about it!”

“This is not necessary!” Xu Que shook his head with a smile, “Alive, be man of men! Dead, be soul of souls! Also...who told you I am bound to die here? The Mighty Body of Hades will be mine!”

Then, Xu Que trod on that stone path majestically!
