Because it has infinite possibilities, it also carries infinite hopes.

The competitors are not limited to the myriad heavens and realms.

The essence lies in the past and present!

Several celestial demons were vying for dominance in Mo Yun City, with Mi Zhiben and Xing Nian Zen Master locked in a five-hundred year game of Go.

>Even more impressive is the Crane Flower Pavilion, a timeless masterpiece!

He apparently never stopped thinking about continuing the myth. He failed back then, but he set up the stage in time and waited until now to continue it!

Now he has announced the "Game Rules," and the silent Spring of Immortality awaits verification, judgment upon life and death.

However, this bizarre question-and-answer game, does it only require honesty Among these prodigies, who doesn't have secrets hidden deep within their hearts. Some truths can indeed be spoken aloud. The question landed on Xiong Sanshi.

One must answer truthfully and never lie.

All the monsters turned their eyes.

Who wouldn't be curious about Xiong San Even though his name is on the Heavenly Rankings and he is well-known throughout the land, in Ziwu Hill Range, he is practically a household name. But what people outside know about him is actually not much.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

His true face hidden behind the mask, his thoughts under the black robe, his past never mentioned... would still often exist in the street talk and gossip. It's just that no one could say it clearly.

As prodigies of the heavens, they find themselves in the same arena. They are both competitors and comrades.

Both the true face of Bear Three Thoughts and his reaction if he defied the rules piqued my curiosity.

Everyone present could see that Hehua Ting was weak, and no one missed the malicious intent in his eyes.

But after all, it is a being who once served as the strategist of the Shenxiao Bureau and continues to do so now. No one is willing to recklessly risk their own life to test the true strength of He Hua Pavilion.

Now everyone is waiting for Xiong Sansi's answer.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

He didn't stay silent for too long, and said: "The place I came from is called Qianjieku."

"Never heard of such a place in the demon realm…" Hehua Ting slowly looked at Zhulanruo: "This young lady seems to be well-versed in ancient knowledge, do you have any information about this"

...It is unspeakable.

Zhu Lan shook her head and said, "I don't know."

Bear Three continued, "The ruler of that place is called the San'e Jiejun."

"The ages change, and there are always strong individuals who emerge. It's not strange that I don't know about him." Hè Huá Tíng then looked at Yáng Yù: "Little monk, do you know this person"

Yang Yuedao said, "I don't know."

"Strange," said Hehua Pavilion, then asked, "What kind of place is the Thousand Tribulations Cave"

He stared intently at Xiong Sanshi and pressed, "You...what are you"

Xiong Sanshi this time did not answer immediately, but took a step forward and asked, "There is no eternal evil law in the world, Master He. With this rule, how many questions can I ask you"

This is clearly a key issue.

And He Hua Ting looked at him deeply, and surprisingly gave an answer: "If I can't ask, you will know yourself."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Zhurang's eyes flashed like a rainbow, while Lu Qi'lang pressed his index finger to his brow.

No celestial prodigy would be willing to accept the result of being named one by one. They would even less like to become the answer to test the dangers of the game, like Xiong Sansi, in a state of complete ignorance. They all tried, in their own way, to understand the full rules of this game.

But as the person in charge, Xiong Sanshi must give an answer.

He then said, "I wasn't born in the Thousand Tribulations Cave. Many friends here already know my past story."

He Hua Pavilion's faint gaze swept over Shu Galan, nodding slightly.

Bear Three had previously suffered the loss of his family and home, being thrown off a cliff by his enemies. After years of cultivation, he returned seeking revenge... This story is indeed well-known among the monsters present.

After all, it's a story with a very legendary meaning, very suitable to be told.

Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!

"Back then, I fell there and lost consciousness. When I woke up, I was already in the Thousand Tribulations Cave. Xiong San thought, "I can't describe how big it is because I've never explored its entirety."

It was a gigantic maze, with cells within cells.

The cell was a sight to behold. It consisted of only one iron door, tightly shut. For a long time, it was my entire world.

What kind of place is it How can I describe it

Bear Sansi's voice often tortures the listener's ears, but if you really listen to him talk this time, you will notice that he is also tormenting himself.

What exactly did he go through to have such a pained voice "I can't give a precise definition of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Pit, I can only describe what I know."

Xiong San thought to himself, "I'm not the only prisoner there. There are demons, humans, and even demon clans imprisoned there."

He's speaking, and the two eyes of He Hua Ting are like two points of ghostly fire, listening quietly.

Other monsters were also attracted by his narration.

"Why would the three calamities lord gather us all here"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

For the first time, Xiong Sans thought’s usually rough voice held a note of fiercer emotion.

He gave his own answer: "He will cultivate us like grafting flowers and trees!"

"Cultivating", these two characters, are originally very positive words.

But in this context, placed within that mysterious Myriad Tribulations Cave, it becomes extremely eerie.

Whether human or demon, they all possess a spiritual essence, their own emotions and culture. How can they be treated like grafted plants "What am I..."

Xiong Sanshi used his index finger as a dagger, slashing across his left shoulder. A piece of bone arm armor appeared, its markings mystical and strange.

He pointed to the eerie sign and said, "I am the monster."

>

He Hua Ting glanced at the Unold Spring. Following that line of ripples, they always rose from the east.

Xiong Sans thought for a moment, then tapped his own chest with his finger, making a thumping sound: "I am a human."

He ripped off his black robe, and also lifted the leather armor beneath it, so everyone could see — on his abdomen, a large mass of flesh suddenly transformed into thick black mist. After a while, it changed back to flesh from the mist.

So strange!

"I am a demon too."

"I am a breed cultivated by the Third Calamity Robber, Jun Peiyu. I am a demon of humans and demons, a demon of all beings." He finally concluded, answering He Huating's question. Beneath the pitch-black mask, there were still eyes that showed no ripples.

The whole hall was silent.

It's hard to imagine what the Three Evils Calamity Monarch truly was. To be so against morality, to recklessly modify their own kind, grafting demons onto humans... to treat each intelligent being with feelings and thoughts like wood to be carved!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The Peace Ghost official gripped his long sword tightly, gritting his teeth and saying: "These evil scoundrels will be killed by the Peace Dao for sure!"

All the monsters felt a pang of sympathy, but only Huahua Ting's eyes flickered on and off.

For about an hour, I couldn't figure it out. This should have been able to answer Xiong Sanshi's question, so why did it end up being fruitless in the end

Perhaps it was the cruelty of the Three Evils Lord, or perhaps the Thousand Tribulations Cave was too evil. Even an ancient one like Hehua Pavilion found himself overwhelmed by shock, unable to find that elusive inspiration, and thus failed to complete his "possibility."

How did you escape—

He opened his mouth, but halfway through the question, he stopped.

"It seems you can't ask me anything for now." Xiong Sansi looked at him.

"You can understand it that way."

Chai A Si stared blankly, completely unable to understand the conversation. There was only a vague feeling that Xiong San had escaped some kind of danger.

What danger was he escaping To be sure, Xiong Sanshi's experience is very tragic, just listening to it is painful. But in this just-past exchange, he only answered truthfully, shouldn't be considered too difficult, right

But why, Spider Orchid seemed to sigh in relief. Deer Seven also felt a weight lifted from his shoulders. He entrusted all these doubts of his heart to the great ancient gods.

And then the answer came —

"The Cruel Flower Pavilion had already fallen in ancient times. It's remarkable that it could cling to existence until now, which means a heavy price was paid. He is incredibly frail at this point; I suspect his strength is only enough to allow him to act violently on that stone slab, which is why he called you here."

If the spider had extraordinary powers, it might have sensed something and left there first.

Realizing it was impossible for anyone to be fooled, He Hua Ting activated his arrangement in this world.

>

He utilized the power of the Divine Thunder Grounds to set up this game. Of course, as the designer of the game, he had certain privileges, but while this game swayed the Divine Thunder World, he himself had to abide by its rules.

A game that cannot achieve relative fairness cannot stand.

Just as the essence of infinite possibility corresponds to giving one's all.

This is the fundamental rule of this world, and all arrangements extend from here.

When pushed to their limits, how can one possibly mobilize the power of the Divine Firmament World and accomplish their goals Within the realm of infinite possibilities, Hehua Ting caught sight of such a possibility and made it a reality.

He designed the game with explicit rules and implicit rules.

The rule of

Ming, is "answer all questions truthfully".

Unstated rules, which may harbor deadly factors, require further exploration and interpretation.

Bear Sansi was crossing the river by feeling his way with stones. He hadn't drowned yet, and managed to find a path, which naturally caused those watching to be relieved. Because each one of them might need to cross this river later on.

Chai Si listened as if he understood but didn't.

At this time, Xiong Sansi had already slowly put on his own leather armor and hooded cloak, and then took another step forward, almost facing He Hua Ting!

Under the mask of darkness, eyes gazed upon Crane Flower Pavilion, speaking with a calmness and courage that drew admiration from onlookers: "Ask anything, and I shall answer. If you lie, you shall be like a moon reflected in water, drowning... Since the rules are so clear, can I also ask you questions”

He Hua Ting paused for a moment before saying, "Yes."

What is your purpose Bear thought for a moment.

If there were unspoken, life-threatening rules hidden within the process of answering, he would have to find a way for Hekuating to touch upon them.

Xiong Sanyi clearly understood the rules of the game set by Hehua Pavilion. He successfully escaped danger and launched a counterattack.

The counterattack began!

Hekuah Pavilion blinked lightly, as if expressing admiration.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Then he said, "This game is designed to be highly targeted, based on a certain commonality I saw among you in the river of time. It's something you cannot avoid. But Price is very clever. You just concealed very important information. Don't you feel now that exposing that secret would trigger the danger of this question-and-answer game"

There is a probing question hidden in these words.

But Xiong San didn't speak, his eyes remaining still. His time of "answering every question truthfully" was over; now, there was no need to answer anything.

The pressure of rules will still come.

Hehua Pavilion smiled and said, "Now, here is my answer."

"My current goal is to plunder the life force of any one of you, as nourishment for my body. That way I can truly exert some power...and not have to struggle like this anymore."

The goal afterward is to accumulate enough strength to reach the point in time where you are and complete the resurrection.

"The ultimate goal is to revive the Spring of Immortality and continue the mythology."

To the east of the fountain of youth, ripples spread across its surface, as though stirred by the wind.

Hehua Ting wouldn't joke around at a time like this, under the constraints of the game rules, every word he said was truthful.

Therefore, it is also to be feared.

Because of the torment inflicted by the so-called Three Evils Calamity Monarch, Xiong Sanshi is now a creature that is both demon and man, with a strange form. But there is no doubt that he stands there with an air of reliability.

Just like his answer to the Crane Flower Pavilion, he remained calm: "I'd like to ask, what are all the rules of this question-and-answer game..."

He Hua Ting smiled and interrupted him: "You can only ask one question. That's a privilege of the elders."

Xiong Sans thought calmly accepted this result, only saying, "At least I know this new rule."

"It's my turn to ask questions again," Hekiru said, looking at him with a dangerous gleam in his eye.

Bear Sansi just looked at him calmly.

One must consider the means still held by these young celestial demon seeds, while also accommodating one's own weak physical state... This targeted question-and-answer game is not very cleverly designed.

Just like this person-demon-spirit hybrid before us, who's almost smart enough to touch upon the truth.

Hèhuá Tíng must consider how many turns he has left to ask questions safely... not one of them can be wasted.

He has waited too long!

... having waited so long that his body had reached the point of exhaustion, that feeling of extreme agony and utter dryness tormented him for what felt like countless years. Because time held no meaning in this stagnant world of Shenxiao 3922 AD, this torment was effectively eternal.

After enduring so long, I finally got the first opportunity, perhaps also the last one.

It only takes one success, just a spark of life force to ignite the body. These young demons are easily extinguished with a breath.

As for Xiong Sanshi's repeated questions, can it ensure triggering his self-set answering rules Back when he was at his peak, he was a cultivator who excelled at playing with "hostility." Now, he has incorporated this skill into the question-and-answer game. As long as the answerer's response elicits hostility from most participants present, they will immediately be banished to the Immortal Spring—which naturally becomes their chopping block. No one in the world understands how to utilize the Immortal Spring better than him.

So, he would dig into the darkest, most hidden secrets of the answer-givers' hearts. Of course, he couldn't see through every participant's mind, and couldn't accurately understand what those secrets were. He could only make rough judgments based on his experience as a top strategist.

This process is like gambling on stones. The difference is that he can actually see the jade color, just by looking at this cut, whether it happens to cut right there.

He just now triggered a hidden rule with his answer. Using the one-time exemption privilege that only a game creator has, he waived the punishment. Then, he deliberately acted unaffected to mislead the group of little demons in front of him, pushing them further from the truth.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

This, of course, was not a fair game. He had secured a tremendous advantage for himself. It was also the reward for enduring such torment for so long.

Trapped for a long time in this fragment of time, gazing at my already feeble self in the mirror of the elixir of immortality, watching as I slowly withered away.

He once had countless brilliant schemes, but due to the decline of his strength, he could only repeatedly reduce them...repeatedly reconstruct them.

A clever woman can't cook without rice, but he wants to fill his stomach with air.

>

But would these advantages be enough to guarantee him victory After a brief moment of eye contact, He finally looked away.

All, from Yang Yu to Shura and Zhu Lanruo, were in danger.

But he glided past.

His gaze swept across the room for a moment, finally settling on Chai Si: "Young one, after much deliberation, you seem to be the most agreeable. Now, I have a question for you."

Chai A Si was dumbfounded.

The great ancient god spoke, saying that a small demon who might need to cross this river later was actually Chai A Si himself!

Please go to view. his sword—only to discover that there was none beside him. He then realized he was in a spirit form, thus manifesting a sword spirit in his hand.He had a grounded feeling, calmly observing the enviro...
