Chapter 551: Chapter 130: So Your Brain Broke_3

The expressions on the faces of those Elders subtly changed.

Of course, they knew... that no one had entered Divine Temple Mountain in these years, for a very simple reason.

This place was practically a "Demon Cave"!

Murky and desolate, other than the Protectors, who else would enter here?

If it weren’t for this critical juncture, when the Elder Council urgently needed to manipulate matters concerning the "Divine Temple," they would not have come to such a place...

As a Protector, Li Qingci naturally tried her best to stop them.

But when truly let loose, they were, in fact, unwilling to enter.

"Please," Gu Shen invited with an outstretched hand, speaking indifferently, "Oh, and one more unpleasant truth must be said, if sirs happen to die on the mountain, not even a corpse would be left behind. But, there’s no need to worry, I will have Qing Sui bury the Elders with the most solemn of ceremonies."

The two Elders standing next to the Second Elder showed signs of unease.

They weren’t afraid of accidentally coming into contact with Black Flowers on their way up the mountain... What they feared was that Gu Shen had prepared some schemes for them on this path!

There was no "Deep Sea" link in this place.

If something really happened, definitely no one would know what had transpired.

According to internal information from the Li Family, this youngster would come to Divine Temple Mountain for Meditation whenever he could, who knew what he was Cultivating?

"You should understand what climbing the mountain is really for."

The Second Elder spoke calmly, "If you refuse to explain the significance of the ’Seeking Light’ plan, what’s the use of ascending to the Divine Temple?"

There was never any intention of climbing to the Divine Temple.

To create difficulties for a person is far too simple... There are a million ways to do so in this world, and the Second Elder was precisely a person who knew such methods well.

"Gu Shen, if you wish to invite us to climb the mountain, why not make it simple? Just reveal the ’Seeking Light’ plan," he mentioned casually.

"Sure."

Gu Shen spoke casually as well, "There’s nothing to hide about the ’Seeking Light’ plan. Its content is simple; it’s just to help Divine Temple Mountain rid itself of the pervasive Black Flowers."

The Second Elder was taken aback.

He seemed to have heard a colossal joke.

These flowers...

The Black Flowers that could cause the Li Family to retaliate at any moment...

For six hundred years, none were eradicated!

It was said that even Gu Changzhi, upon coming to Divine Temple Mountain, was helpless!

A mere few damaged lamps could save them?

Any Transcendent who entered the Elder Council of the Li Family and obtained a talisman... would be informed of the purpose of Divine Temple Mountain’s existence, this mountain filled with flowers of Silent Annihilation, where the Li Family’s Protectors were making all efforts to turn the "Disaster Realm" into a "Wondrous Realm."

For within Divine Temple Mountain lay the so-called "Divine Embryo."

One just needed the "Divine Embryo" to hatch.

And Divine Temple Mountain would be saved.

For many years, through generations.

The Elder Council had once waited with great hope.

But as year after year, decade after decade, century after century passed... all they met with was disappointment.

Thus, in the end, no one within the Elder Council believed in the so-called hope of Divine Temple Mountain anymore.

The Second Elder laughed.

He genuinely thought Gu Shen was telling a joke.

So, he asked, "What’s next... you’re not going to say that the lamps on Divine Temple Mountain can hatch the so-called ’Divine Embryo,’ are you?"

Dead silence.

At that moment, it seemed as if even the wind at the foot of Divine Temple Mountain had solidified.

"You are correct, that is precisely what I wanted to say," Gu Shen nodded, speaking, "But the name Divine Embryo sounds quite odd... You may refer to her as the Goddess."

The old man looked at Gu Shen with a look of beyond salvation and scoffed, "Let me tell you, I have lived in the Li Family for seventy years, and I’ve climbed Divine Temple Mountain before. I’ve seen every corner of that mountain... If there really is a so-called Goddess, is she hiding in the well at the peak of the mountain?"

"You’re right," Gu Shen responded with a smile, "In a certain sense, she is indeed in the well."

"..."

The Second Elder looked at Gu Shen seriously, the smile gradually fading from his face.

He no longer spoke.

The Second Elder suddenly felt very sorry for the young man before him.

He shook his head, speaking pityingly, "So... your mind has actually gone bad."

Gu Shen just smiled.

After the Second Elder spoke, he couldn’t be bothered to waste any more time with Gu Shen and waved his hand, leading the two Elders to directly leave... Their objective for this trip had been achieved, and Divine Temple Mountain had given a response to the ’Seeking Light’ plan that could be considered an "unexpected joy."

The antique lamps that the Li Family had spent a great deal of money to retrieve were related to the Divine Embryo.

For six hundred years!

No one had ever seen the shadow of the Divine Embryo!

A few broken lamps could hatch the Divine Embryo?

This was, without a doubt, the biggest joke the Second Elder... who had lived for seventy years, had ever heard.

Without equal.
