There's something wrong with this version of the technique!

Chapter 120: High concentration of spiritual energy = torture
When Lu Yue left the place of wine and meat and ran all the way to the Bronze Palace, he also saw a large number of extraordinary people running around to tell each other the news.

"The bronze palace opened, and many magical instruments came out."

"For a damaged low-level magic weapon, I was bullied by the ancients for ten days. I was about to get it by working like a beast of burden for another day. Now you tell me that the Bronze Palace will spit out magic weapons for free?"

"Just say whether you want to go or not."

"Go, but I need to vent my anger before I go. This Chaoge City has made me sad for ten days. I want to kill as many people as possible."

"What? You are an ancient, and now you are begging for mercy?"

"It's no use begging for mercy, I want a river of blood to flow!!!"

Some extraordinary people in the streets and alleys realized that the Bronze Palace was the real opportunity. The weakness of the extraordinary people who were afraid of being excluded by the rules, which was previously taken advantage of by the ancients, no longer existed. For a time, the status of the extraordinary people and the ancients in the entire Chaoge City was reversed.

Lu Yue shook his head and quickened his pace, ignoring the chaotic Chaoge City. Soon he finally arrived at the place where the bronze palace appeared when he entered the ruins.

Witnessing the masterpiece of the Demon Suppression Division with his own eyes, Lu Yue was also slightly shocked.

A huge deer platform stood, and the bronze palace was actually pulled down.

Now if you observe it closely, you can see that the bronze palace has various bronze patterns scattered around, like ancient runes. The metallic light and the cold breath are intertwined, which is heart-pounding, but at the same time makes people imagine the glorious bronze culture of that period.

Soon, Lu Yue learned from the people gathered around that the purpose of the Bronze Palace was to select a new god, which sounded very tempting.

But Lu Yue still found a suspicious point.

The people from the Demon Suppression Division did not go in. They all went to encircle and suppress Bigan.

The Demon Suppression Division doesn’t care about the chance to become a god?

Lu Yue didn't think so, but all the answers were inside the bronze palace, and since he was already here, there was no reason not to go in.

"Zhang Yaling, your secret is finally exposed!"

Lu Yue looked determined and walked up the stairs quickly.

Lu Yue rushed forward.

Lu Yue was bounced down.

"Isn't this the boss who sells spirit wine and bacon in the wine pond and meat forest?"

"It's really him. This boss is so famous that it seems like Chaoge City is his private server. Now it seems that he is no different from the rest of us and can't get in either." Someone in the crowd recognized Lu Yue's identity.

Don’t worry about scarcity but inequality.

Even this influential figure in Chaoge City, who was as influential as the mysterious boss of Lingshi, fell here. They finally felt a little more balanced in their hearts.

Lu Yue tried again and again, but was rejected again and again.

"Another crazy one."

"Brother, I suggest you wait until the Bronze Palace goes crazy and spits out magical instruments. For those of us who have no family background, no connections, and no strength, it's better to play it safe and grow slowly."

Lu Yue ignored these people and instead observed the extraordinary people who were able to enter and found that they were divided into three categories.

The first is the genuine Four Heavens of God’s Treasures, the second is the extraordinary people with bloodline passed down from ancient times, and the third is the lucky ones who were selected in advance by the ruins.

"Because my cultivation system is different, even if my combat power has definitely reached the fourth level of Shenzang, I don't meet the entry requirements because there is not a single bit of spiritual energy in my body?" Lu Yue thought to himself.

This bronze palace is similar to the invisible barrier of a wine pool and a meat forest.

To enter you must abide by its rules.

It's like the rules of undressing in a place of feasting and drinking.

At this time, an elderly extraordinary person began to teach him earnestly: "Young man, I have eaten more salt than you have walked. You should be content. Low-level magic tools are already our greatest opportunity... No... I just said a few words to you, and you don't need to take out the body bag. I was wrong. I won't say anything to you, so don't think too much..."

"Fuck, what happened? How did he get in?"

Everyone was bewildered and confused.

Lu Yue used Zhang Yaling's body bag to cleverly sneak into the bronze palace. As soon as he stepped into it, it was as if he was traveling through time and space, but soon his eyes opened up.

This is an open-air square. The space inside looks much larger than the outside. Everywhere you look, you can see bronze artifacts, bronze floor tiles, bronze tripods, bronze pillars...

Lu Yue looked around curiously. Every finished product here exuded an ancient and heavy atmosphere. After thousands of years of vicissitudes, it still stood here, as if confirming to the world the glory and immortality of the Shang Dynasty thousands of years ago.

At this time, Lu Yue let out a light exclamation. He found that more than a dozen extraordinary people were gathered in the middle of the square in front, sitting in meditation postures, and there were some familiar people among them.

Paper-making craftsmen, fortune-tellers, funeral clothing tailors, and others.

Lu Yue walked forward to say hello, but as soon as he entered the square, he discovered a strange phenomenon. Outside the huge main hall square, in addition to the paper-folding craftsman and others, there were also some inexplicable traces.

Ash pile.

Those white-brown ashes looked a bit like burnt incense sticks, but Lu Yue did not find any incense sticks around. Moreover, there were about a dozen white-brown ashes of different sizes scattered across the square, which was particularly eye-catching.

After looking at it for a long time, it even feels creepy.

"Hey, isn't that Brother Lu Yue?" At this time, the funeral clothes tailor came out of his practice and suddenly found Lu Yue in the distance.

Then the paper-folding craftsmen opened their eyes and said happily, "Brother Lu Yue, you're here too. I was wondering why I couldn't find you in the ruins. Come here quickly. I've reserved a place for you. The concentration of spiritual energy is the highest here."

Lu Yue hesitated for a moment, then walked over, the bronze bricks creaking under his feet.

"Brother Lu Yue, where have you been in the ruins these days? Why can't we find you?"

"I'm doing some small business in Chaoge City. What about you guys?"

"We've been there before, but there were too many people there and we didn't find any opportunities. Then we left Chaoge and went to several nearby villages. We stayed there for a few days and gained something..."

When it comes to the journey to the ruins, everyone has their own opportunity.

After a brief reminiscence, Lu Yue asked about the white-brown ashes piles beside him.

"I didn't notice. When did the white-brown ash pile appear here?"

"I remember there was someone practicing in that place. Could he have gone to some other place? Brother Lu Yue, let me tell you, this bronze palace is huge, and there are opportunities everywhere. Don't think too much about it. Just sit down and practice together." The paper-folding craftsman looked excited.

"The concentration of spiritual energy here is five or six times that of the outside world. This is a relic that can really be used for cultivation. Just by meditating for a while, I can feel the bottleneck of the fourth level of Shenzang loosening."

The rest of the people looked excited, with shining eyes, and they practiced every minute. It was obvious that they were completely immersed in the pleasure that practice brought them.

Lu Yue did not move, but instead felt doubtful. If it was any other newcomer, it would be fine, but when did these Yinmen industry superhumans who were hovering on the brink of life and death have such poor vigilance?

Something is wrong here!

Lu Yue turned around again and walked towards the white-brown ash piles, observing them carefully. Suddenly, a horrifying idea came to his mind.

Could this pile of white and brown ashes be ashes?
Just when Lu Yue wanted to ask several people in the Yinmen industry to confirm whether they were really ashes, he turned around and suddenly found that one person was suddenly missing from the group of people who had been practicing.

Lu Yue's eyes darkened.

When did the person who was next to the paper-folding craftsman leave?
How come I didn’t notice it?

The most important thing is that a pile of white, brown and gray appeared right where that person was.

If it was just a guess before, Lu Yue can now be sure that those missing people have met with unexpected accidents, and those white-brown ash piles are the proof.

This place is not as peaceful as it looks.

In just the blink of an eye, the extraordinary person is turned into a pile of ashes.

"The spiritual energy here is so rich that I feel warm all over. My bottleneck is about to be broken."

"Me too, I feel hot all over, this is a sign of breaking through the fourth level of the God's Treasures. If I keep working hard, the fourth level of the God's Treasures will be right before my eyes."

At this time, Lu Yue was surprised to find that the skin of the paper-folding craftsmen began to turn red, and this red color was more like high temperature burning. The clothes on their bodies were gradually dried, broken, and turned into ashes...

Is this a case of practicing so hard that you become obsessed with it?

At this moment, Lu Yue also realized that his brain was under some kind of mental control. There was a voice constantly hypnotizing him to sit down and practice. The concentration of spiritual energy here was enough to break through the bottleneck.

The voice was sometimes male, sometimes female, and unpredictable, as if it came from all directions, and seemed to echo directly in the mind, with an irresistible temptation mixed with a hint of fear, which made people feel chilled.

The next second, the topaz body was automatically triggered to resist mental interference.

After regaining consciousness, Lu Yue frowned and looked around, finally focusing on the bronze bricks under his feet. From the moment he stepped into the square, these bronze bricks under his feet creaked when he stepped on them, as if they were cut corners.

When the soles of the feet stepped lightly, an unusual thudding sound was heard from below.

Lu Yue's heart tightened, and he had a bad premonition.

It's empty in here? ! ! !
boom!
Lu Yue punched the ground hard, and the bronze brick shattered and turned into fragments. This punch seemed to trigger some kind of mechanism, and the bronze bricks on the ground around him began to fall one by one, like dominoes, collapsing one after another.

Lu Yue was horrified.

Such a large square, but more than half of it is hollow.

woohoo...

A rolling heat wave hit him in the face, bringing with it a pungent burnt smell. It turned out to be a charcoal fire. The fallen bronze bricks fell into the charcoal and were instantly melted, turning into flowing molten iron.

Lu Yue quickly stepped back and looked up again, and saw that the paper-folding craftsman and others were not practicing on bronze bricks, but were sitting on a huge copper pillar.

All the places where the ashes were found at the scene were copper pillars.

This square is an open-air barbecue pit with charcoal fire underneath. Heat is transferred through copper pillars, which can burn and dry a living person into ashes in a short period of time.

"Zhang Chao, wake up and look at your feet!!!"

Lu Yue's roar was like thunder, shaking several people's bodies and waking them up as if from a dream. After they saw what was happening below, they almost fell off the smooth copper pillar.

"what!"

"How is this going?!!!"

Several people quickly retreated to a safe area with horror on their faces. Fortunately, they were discovered in time, and apart from some of their clothes turning to ashes and their skin being a little hot, there were no substantial injuries.

“I don’t know why, but as soon as I came here, I was thinking about breaking through. And this thought became stronger and stronger as I practiced, without even a trace of doubt.” The man in shroud clothes spoke with lingering fear.

The other people thought about what had just happened and finally realized that something was wrong. They had been influenced by some kind of spiritual power without knowing it.

The aura here is real.

But the danger is real.

At this time, Lu Yue was observing these bronze pillars and suddenly remembered something.

A very cruel form of punishment during the Shang Dynasty.

The punishment of burning people with fire was to place a copper pillar on charcoal fire and then make the criminal walk barefoot on the red-hot copper pillar. If the criminal could not bear it, he would fall into the charcoal fire.

It looks like a blessed place for spiritual practice, but in fact it is full of dangers.

This bronze palace is so evil!!!

However... although this bronze palace does have dangers, it also allows the paper-folding craftsman and his party to truly feel the bottleneck of the fourth level of the Divine Treasures. Perhaps the opportunity to break through lies here.

Finally, after gritting their teeth and discussing, they decided to look for the next area with rich spiritual energy. With this experience, they believed that there should be no problem in their practice next time as long as they were careful not to become addicted.

Lu Yue followed a few people and discovered that the bronze palace was huge and there were many places like squares, but this also brought with it various hidden crises.

Lu Yue's horizons were broadened as he witnessed various cruel punishments used thousands of years ago.

Some people practiced cultivation, and as they practiced they turned into dried meat. This is the punishment of being tortured by jerky.

Someone discovered that the concentration of spiritual energy in the bronze tripod was extremely high. As a result, after jumping in, they were disturbed by some kind of spiritual force, just like a frog boiled in warm water, unable to climb out. This is the punishment of cooking.

Beheading, skinning, gouging out eyes, cutting out hearts, stabbing people…

Opportunities and risks coexist.

Compared with the world of wine and women, this place is the real hell of life and death.

Half an hour later, seeing that they had found a less dangerous place to practice, Lu Yue said goodbye to the team and set out alone to find out the mystery of Zhang Yaling's life experience.

Not long after, the prompt sound [Source Energy +1] suddenly rang in Lu Yue’s mind.

Following his feeling, Lu Yue arrived outside a palace.

The previous generation of source energy is related to here.
