Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 1061 - 190: Part 6

Zhao Yi: "After this is over, let's have a good exchange on this matter. I feel you're holding back on me."

Li Zhiyuan: "Okay, trade it with Jiujiang Zhao's Basic Technique."

The steps are very secluded, yet not particularly long. Upon reaching the platform, three large stone doors appeared ahead.

The stone doors were embedded into the rock wall, blending with the mountain peak and adorned with different murals, all ancient and primitive in style.

Though the murals have weathered through the years and are mottled, they still retain their charm, clearly depicting what's drawn.

But the more you look closely, the more shocking it becomes.

Zhao Yi: "I see many people I've recently become acquainted with, and those I've doomed."

Recently, Zhao Yi has been very active, meeting many people.

Li Zhiyuan hasn't interacted with many people, yet still saw five familiar faces on the murals, including Xu Yijin and those four originally living on the second floor who were killed on the first night.

The images of those who died in the struggle for broken jade have all been imprinted there.

Li Zhiyuan remembered that one night, shadowy figures appeared at the place where Tan Wenbin buried Xu Yijin and the others.

Back then, Yu Miaomiao probably asked A Yuan to attempt an attack on the shadows, but it wasn't effective.

The images of the deceased on the left stone door are extremely violent, crawling on all fours like beasts, engaged in biting and fighting.

On the middle stone door, these deceased appear peaceful and even somewhat wooden, marching in neat rows.

On the right stone door, the dead are arranged from top to bottom, in several layers, some holding hands, others standing alone in distinct formations.

Zhao Yi: "Oh~"

After his "oh", Zhao Yi fell silent, knowing that whatever he could discern, the young man beside him could as well.

Li Zhiyuan's gaze swept across the three stone doors once again, representing from left to right: Beast Taming, Puppetry, Array.

So, is this some kind of hospitality from the hosts?

Li Zhiyuan considered if this place indeed was one of the Nine Great Secret Realms, meaning it had existed for a long time, but the black-robed zombie from Alii's dream bore resentment against the Dragon King of previous generations, claiming the entire clan would ascend here.

Therefore, did someone later occupy this secret realm, constructing this place?

Behind the three doors, there's certainly no hint of inheritance; it should represent a certain danger upon entry, but fortune and misfortune are often intertwined; whatever danger you face might also bring an opportunity.

The Heavenly Dao loves to give a slap followed by a sweet date; this place should be where the sweet date is given.

Yu Miaomiao placed her palm on the leftmost stone door, the seal triggered, and the door slowly turned, opening a third of the way.

As a member of the Yu Family, she undoubtedly chose Beast Taming.

However, she didn't rush inside but turned to Li Zhiyuan and Zhao Yi:

"Let's make a deal; if you pick this door, ask for whatever you want, and I'll consider it."

The door is only a third open; while entering is possible, she's still dissatisfied.

Meaning, with three invitations, picking any of the three doors will open it, but to varying degrees.

More votes mean increased danger, but also increased opportunity.

No wonder she came proactively to find him then, openly wanting to be the leader; it turns out she wanted to gather votes here.

Seeing Li Zhiyuan and Zhao Yi unresponsive, Yu Miaomiao spoke again: "Dragon King Yu, appreciate your favor this time!"

Li Zhiyuan was disinclined to look at her.

Zhao Yi clutched his heart.

Yu Miaomiao spat: "Remember, it's you who asked for disgrace yourselves!"

After saying that, she stepped into the first door, A Yuan following alongside.

Zhao Yi: "This place is good, nurturing."

Li Zhiyuan: "Mm."

Soon after, Li Zhiyuan looked at Zhao Yi: "You pick first."

Zhao Yi pointed to his bandaged brow, which marked his Gate of Life and Death:

"If I have to pick, I'd surely choose Array, which benefits me most, allowing me to appreciate it well."

Li Zhiyuan: "Okay, you go ahead."

Lin Shuyou set Zhao Yi down from his back.

Tan Wenbin, like a host welcoming guests, gestured to lead him:

"Mr. Zhao, please."

"Hahahahahaha!"

Zhao Yi laughed himself into chest pain.

Given his current frail state, without allies, going solo beyond the door, he feared that even a simple array would crush him.

"I'm joking, joking, definitely picking Puppetry.

My Brother Zhuiyuan is young and can't train physically; mastering some advanced puppetry skills would be substantial gains!"

Saying so, he ran up quickly, placing his palm on the stone door, which then opened a third of the way.

Li Zhiyuan also moved forward, placing his palm on it, further opening the door to two-thirds.

Xu Yijin's Puppetry Technique is quite underwhelming for him, even practically useless.

Hopefully what's inside won't disappoint him.

"Let's go in."
