The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2177 The Secret of the Life and Death Order

"Didn't you ask me before about how to use the Life and Death Order? Well, I will tell you the method now. As for other conditions, I will not mention them at all. My only request is that when you leave here, please take my current body away and bury it somewhere outside."

From the pile of mud-like stuff came the weak but anxious voice of a skinny old man.

Seeing that Matthew remained silent, the skinny old man in the mud spoke again, but this time there was obviously more pleading in his voice, as if he was a helpless beggar in the cold night. The pride and majesty had long disappeared without a trace.

"To be honest, if I could be given a little more time, I would definitely be able to completely control this life and death order. Therefore, the driving method you mentioned is really not very attractive to me." Matthew responded slowly after thinking for a moment.

He stood on this strange platform with a figure as straight as a pine tree, his clothes fluttering gently in the wind, as if he was lost in deep thought.

His face was stern, but his eyes were sharp, twinkling like cold stars.

His words were not really intended to attack or belittle the other party.

Ever since the two runes were successfully integrated into the Life and Death Order, Matthew truly felt a subtle connection between himself and the mysterious object in his hand.

The feeling was like a new bud sprouting in spring, which was weak but contained endless vitality. It made him realize that given time, he believed he would be able to completely control this mysterious order of life and death.

However, at the moment, the question he most urgently wanted to figure out was what the use of this life and death order was.

Matthew's eyes involuntarily fell on the life and death order in his hand.

The skinny old man went to such great lengths, and he said he had been preparing for even longer, simply because he wanted to get this life and death order.

It can be seen that the importance of this thing must be far beyond his imagination. Perhaps there is a shocking secret hidden behind it that can subvert the world.

After Matthew finished speaking, the skinny old man's voice immediately rang out, like a ray of hope burning in the darkness: "If that's the case, how about I tell you about the life and death order?"

This was exactly what Matthew wanted. He raised his head slightly, a look of determination flashed in his eyes, and he nodded without hesitation and agreed: "Okay, tell me the true function of this thing, and I can take you away from here."

Matthew knew very well that this might be a great opportunity for him to uncover the mystery of the life and death order.

After getting Matthew's consent, the other party was silent for a while and then said: "This matter needs to start from the formation of Mangcang Treasure Pavilion..."

Following the other party's narration, Matthew finally gained a new understanding of Mangcang Treasure Pavilion.

Before this, Matthew knew everything about the Mangcang Treasure Pavilion from the Mangcang people.

According to the legend of the Mangcang people, this is a holy land that their ancestors discovered by chance. It contains endless treasures and opportunities, attracting countless people from the tribe to yearn for it, but they are deterred by the numerous dangers.

But now, everything the skinny old man said gave him a subversive understanding of this place.

It turns out that the Mangcang Treasure Pavilion existed long before the Mangcang tribe discovered it.

This is indeed a space crack, but it has long been transformed by a powerful monk using his great supernatural powers.

That powerful being was like the God of Creation, who reshaped this chaotic land with his supreme power.

This place originally had no name. The powerful man imprisoned some monks or aliens who came from nowhere here.

Those imprisoned creatures were like trapped animals in a cage, full of resentment and unwillingness, but unable to break free.

They come from all corners of the world, have different appearances and different skills. They collide and fight in this small space, trying to find a glimmer of life.

Later, the powerful monk no longer paid attention to this place and allowed the people inside to develop on their own, and it gradually became what it is today.

Time is like a ruthless chisel, carving on this land. The descendants or inheritors of the prisoners gradually forgot the outside world, took root here, and established their own order.

Relying on the fragments of their ancestors' skills or their own talents, they explored every inch of this space, unearthed many rare treasures, and developed a unique culture and power.

When the Mangcang tribe discovered this place, they actually only found a very small part of it.

At that time, they were like ignorant children who broke into a mysterious garden and were dazzled by the rare treasures before them.

It was the appearance of the Mangcang tribe that gave this place its name.

They named this treasure land after their tribe.

Matthew listened quietly, as if he was in the midst of a magnificent historical picture, and his heart was deeply shocked.

He didn't expect that behind this Mangcang Treasure Pavilion, there was such a tortuous and bizarre story hidden.

"This life and death order is the key item left behind by that powerful person."

The skinny old man's voice broke the silence again, like a thunder exploding in Matthew's ears, "This thing can not only control the life and death of all the creatures in the Mangcang Treasure Pavilion, but it is also the key to the core area of ​​the Mangcang Treasure Pavilion!"

When Matthew heard this, his heart was shocked, and the life and death order in his hand seemed to become extremely hot in an instant, like a burning fire.

He finally understood why the skinny old man wanted to get it by any means necessary.

"but,"

The skinny old man's voice trembled slightly, revealing a hint of weakness. "It is not easy to open the core area. In addition to completely controlling the Life and Death Order, you also need to collect seven spirit beads. They are the seven spiritual charms that the great man sealed here in the past. They are scattered in various corners of the Mangcang Treasure Pavilion. Each one is guarded by a powerful guardian beast, which is extremely dangerous. Those guardian beasts are not restricted by the Life and Death Order. You need to rely on your own strength to kill them."

Matthew frowned slightly, thinking to himself.

"How can I believe that what you say is true?"

Matthew stared at the old man lying in the mud with a sharp gaze and spoke in a stern voice.

The old man smiled bitterly, shivering like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind: "Is there any need for me to lie in my current state? Besides, if you don't believe me, you can explore this Mangcang Treasure Pavilion and you will know that what I said is true."

Matthew was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly.

He knew that what the old man said made sense.

"I don't think you'll die anytime soon, so why don't you follow me to find the seven spirit beads? Since you've mentioned this, I think you must know the location of the seven guardian beasts."
