Chapter 731 Ancient Immortal Ruins

After a few days of cultivation, the Five Swordsman took Canglang Taoist Sui Xin to the Mingbei Shrine, the ruins of overseas ancient immortals.

The Mingbing Palace is an ancient immortal relic and is extremely famous in the outer sea. This palace is located on an ice field on the sea. The palace itself is made of black ice, shaped like thousands of ice sculptures, and is extremely solemn.

There are also trees like ice crystals on this ice sheet. They are trees that have been frozen for a long time. These trees hold up patches of frost-covered shade. Between the ice trees, there are patches of mossy frozen soil several meters high, and a lot of ice and snow. They are stacked on top of each other, uneven, and intertwined with the roots of trees like ice crystals.

Among the many ice trees, those huge gray-brown ice cubes and tree roots are intertwined, forming a tall round arch. In the shadow of the inside of the round arch, there is a bronze portal, buried deep under the ice depression. The door is carved with rough and ancient patterns.

This bronze door has no gaps and seems to be completely integrated, or like a single piece of bronze wall.

In front of this bronze door, there was a short, fat Taoist priest with a strange appearance, thin body, and wearing a loose robe with wide sleeves. Next to him stood the leader of the Blood Shadow Sect, Lu Man.

"Fellow Taoist of Five Swords, this is Taoist Taoist Xiantianzi of Five Elements Demon Palace."

Human quickly introduced.

"It turns out he is Taoist Brother Xiantianzi. Wu Jian has long admired his name, but he has never had the chance to meet him."

The Five Swordsmen should be more polite.

"You're welcome, fellow Taoist. My late emperor doesn't have a prominent name in the world of cultivation. Your words really compliment me."

The short and fat Taoist priest laughed. The Taoist robe he wore was made of coarse cloth, and it was already covered with a thick layer of dirt. His hair was also messy, and he had not repaired his appearance for an unknown period of time, giving him a sloppy look.

Based on this venerable appearance alone, few people in the world would associate this short, fat Taoist priest with the Xiantianzi of the evil sect such as the Five Elements Demon Palace.

However, the Emperor Xian was not just talking politely. Among the masters of the Earthly Evil Realm in the world, he was indeed not very famous.

The five masters of the earth evil realm among the seven major sects of the righteous path are the master Taiwu Xingyuan of the Beichen Sword Sect, Lu Zhenjun of the Yuanhuang Sect, Liu Tianming, the "Yi Qi Taoist" of the Nandou Sect, and Dong Dong of the Qingyang Dongdou Sect. The Great Sage and the True Lord Dakui of the Wuji Sect, these five people can be said to have famous names.

The most famous among the evil sects are the Great Evil Sect of the Blood Shadow Sect, and the Black Evil Sect has a previous leader, but it is the innate son of the Five Elements Demon Palace who has never left Wuji Taihuang Palace among the Five Elements Demons. Outside, his actions have always been secretive, and outsiders know a little about him.

The previous leader of the Black Evil Sect was a powerful figure, but unfortunately he disappeared without a trace. After the death of the previous leader, the Black Evil Religion had constant intrigues and disagreements within the sect. Naturally, it was not as powerful as before. However, because the previous leader acted more Swaggering, in the eyes of outsiders, the previous generation of Black Evil leader is still the most outstanding Earth Evil expert among evil sects.

However, if you were a member of the seven major sects of the Central Plains Righteous Way, you would never underestimate the Xiantianzi of the Five Elements Demon Palace. This is because he is in charge of the Wanxuan Destiny Instrument, one of the wonders in the world, and can see the operation of the heavenly secrets. In this way, the Evil Sect's Five Elements Demonic Palace will not survive to this day under the encirclement and suppression of the righteous sects.

No, even Xie Man from the Blood Shadow Sect, the former leader of the Black Evil Sect, and Jing Hong from the Shura Palace also secretly sought advice from the First Emperor, and obtained the secrets of heaven from him to tide over the crisis.

As the saying goes, "Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements." If the innate son of the Five Elements Demon Palace can predict the unknown, he will have the opportunity to reverse the fate of various dangerous situations and turn danger into safety.

In fact, even He Ping himself was quite curious about this Xiantianzi, because he knew one thing: Tianxing Continent was isolated from the outside world, and there was no "way of heaven" in this world.

The Yuan Shen can operate like the heart of heaven, peering into the past and future, and gaining the upper hand, relying on the connection between the source of heaven's law and the long river of time. However, in this Tianxing Continent, the monks here do not have this ability to predict the future.

"According to common sense, no matter how hard the monks in this world practice, it is impossible for them to understand the method of spying on the movement of heaven. So how did the Emperor do it? Could it be because of that strange thing called the Wanxuan Destiny Instrument?"

He thought for a long time and came up with a vague guess.

The source of this guess lies in the meaning of the existence of the "experimental box" of Tianxing Continent. If he is really correct, perhaps the most critical part lies in this part...

At the same time, when Wujianlangjun met with the Emperor, Canglang Taoist Sui Xinyi also introduced his origins.

Sui Xinyi is also a strong person in the Earthly Evil Realm, and he is qualified to break into the tenth floor of the Ice Palace. Moreover, the Five Swordsmen would bring him here, so he had considered it.

Compared with Mi Shen Taoist and Suixin Yi, the two actually have similar cultivation bases and similar strengths. However, the place where Mi Shen Taoist can exert his greatest combat power is always on Mi Shen Island. That island is full of all kinds of giants. When the formation is fully activated, the bonus of the old Taoist priest will also skyrocket, and the combat power will be much stronger than the island mode.

"Okay, everyone."

Seeing that the time was almost up, Human said: "We also need to prepare and start entering the ruins."

No one objected, so Human waved his sleeves, and the bronze door was hit by a force. Then, the rough patterns on the door moved like countless rotating circles, making people dizzy.

Click, click, click.

All signs indicate that this is a huge bronze door from a single piece. There are no cracks, no grooves, and no mechanisms, but the circles are indeed spinning, and each rotation has a different speed. I don’t know how long it has been spinning, but the symbols on it are constantly changing and changing, and they appear as lines, squares, triangles and other geometric shapes.

Click.

Eventually, all the rune images stopped changing and formed a brand new figure. A huge crack opened on the door, collapsed toward the ground, then slowly stretched toward both sides, then gently retracted to the side, and the passage in the middle was also constantly widening.

Uh-huh!

Four figures entered it. They passed through an extremely long passage, and a cloud of dust mixed with a thick musty smell filled the air.

Behind the bronze portal is no longer an ice-carved palace. It should be said that the layer of black ice outside is just a cover. The core area of ​​the Mingbing Palace is under the ice sheet, a space re-opened with supreme magic power.

The four of them entered the dark, musty-smelling black hall, which was rectangular in shape. There is a square pit in the middle, which contains an ice statue several feet high.

The ice statue carves a beautiful woman covered with gauze, Yun Fengchai on the temples, holding something in her hands, as if holding a sword, but if you look closely, you will find that her hands are empty.

"This should be the ancient immortal, the female immortal Ming Bing."

The beast whispered to himself.

"I don't know why this female fairy built this ice palace here?"

The black hall was filled with a faint white mist, mixed with dust, and somewhat blurred.

After a group of four people entered the ruins one after another, the stone door behind them slowly closed automatically. This is the effect of the internal restrictions in the Mingbing Palace.

This ancient immortal ruins can be opened a limited number of times per day, and similarly, the number of people who can enter it will also be limited.

In order to explore this place, the Seven Seas Alliance has secretly joined forces with the Blood God Sect and the Five Elements Demon Palace to secretly seal this ruins area and prohibit outsiders from entering.

Xiantianzi said in a deep voice: "According to the results of the previous explorations by fellow Taoist monks, we must first go to the tenth floor and continue to explore deeper spaces from there. The previous information has already explained that starting from the tenth floor In the beginning, it was difficult to mobilize spiritual energy from the outside world, and even monks in the Earthly Evil Realm could only rely on their own bodies to fight."

"We know this very well."

The two of them also nodded.

The Xiantian executioner twirled his long beard and said: "Also, starting from the tenth floor, the way to enter the eleventh floor is to fix the four restrictions at the same time and keep them in the open state. The four of us must control the four restrictions respectively. In this direction, just to block this restriction requires injecting the true essence of the Earthly Evil Realm."

He stopped talking and looked at the beast.

The latter nodded, took out a piece of black parchment from his arms, and unfolded it gently. There were no lines on it, but after unfolding, a red origin slowly appeared on the paper.

The red dots moved, forming clear red lines one after another, and soon a complete map was drawn on the paper.

"Inside the Mingbing Palace, every time it is opened or closed, the terrain will change every once in a while. Without this divine map, it would be almost difficult to find the exact location."

Human explained.

"The Divine Appraisal Map is a rare item of our Blood Shadow Sect, and it is also a thing left by the Mingbing Fairy. This treasure map can automatically show the terrain every time it is opened. You will have to rely on this item to get through."

"Don't waste time, let's go to the tenth floor now!"

The Five Swordsman nodded and urged.

The four masters of the Earthly Evil Realm did not waste any time. They controlled the escape light and flew out deep in the maze-like ruins.

…

Donghuang.

This is an area far away from the Central Plains, and it is occupied by Cai Guo.

Cai State is a small country. In addition to Cai State, there are also powerful countries such as Yong State and Zhao State in Donghuang.

The most prosperous area of ​​Cai State is the country. In the capital city, the streets are full of people and traffic. Merchants coming from north to south gather here. All kinds of shops have their doors open, and there are colorful things inside. .

Outside this bustling street, that is, further outside the outer city, there are many messy shanties and residential areas, all of which were built one after another by Cai Guo's people who spontaneously settled outside the city over the years.

At the emperor's feet, nobility reaches the sky.

The capital of Cai State was inhabited by rich families, merchants and officials wearing silks and satins.

But when we arrived in the outer city, the scene was completely different. There are many refugees kneeling on the roadside selling themselves and begging. Looking at the densely packed shacks and the huge number of people with numb eyes and sallow faces, you can tell that Cai Guo's life has not been easy recently.

It turns out that the Cai State was affected by a demonic disaster some time ago, and the people in the entire county were infected by the demon.

Zhengdao sent out disciples, set up a large formation, and turned all the living creatures in a county into ashes.

After the news came out, people were panicked. Regarding this situation, everyone felt a kind of panic and confusion in their hearts.

However, this demonic disaster is just a microcosm of a series of problems. The city outside Cai's capital is densely packed with refugees.

The Nine-Headed Demon is causing trouble everywhere, not only causing disasters caused by demons, but also various cults and heretical people who are taking advantage of the chaotic situation to fish in troubled waters.

In the past few months, good and evil have often clashed around Cai Guo, which would be a disaster for ordinary people.

Most of the victims who came to the capital recently met a few righteous immortals in their own area, and they had a duel with some evil heretics. The aftermath destroyed a small city, flattened several mountains, and burned down a large area of ​​forest. , causing the dike to collapse and flooding the four counties.

It is precisely for this reason that there are so many disaster victims in this capital. It is a pity that Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and the roads are frozen to death.

It's just that the wealthy households and merchants in the capital don't care about how many of these refugees have died. The wealthy officials sit back and relax and have never worried about such problems. Compared with the outside world, the safety of the capital is even less important.

Unlike the outside world, the capital of Cai State is protected by several large formations, because this country happens to be a country protected by the Nandou Sect.

The capital of Cai State also has a camp of monks dedicated to guarding the royal court. Although the number is not large, it is enough to deal with ordinary evil sect disciples.

On a busy street going south and north, in front of a noodle shop, a Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe ordered a bowl of meat noodles.

Because the price of meat has increased due to disasters in various places, it cost a full twenty pence, and there was only a thin layer of meat slices on it that could almost be blown away by the wind.

"Boy, I spent twenty cents, and there are only these two pieces of meat on it."

The waiter delivered the noodles and put the white sweat towel on his shoulders: "Master Tao, there are floods and epidemics everywhere now. The price of rice has been rising for I don't know how long. The price of meat is even more expensive. The meat needs to be cut thicker. Then Our shopkeeper will suffer a loss."

"All right!"

Taoist Taiyao was also helpless. He lowered his head and took a sip of the noodle soup. The noodle soup was also thick and mushy. He probably had several pots of noodles.

He took a sip of the noodles and finished it in a few mouthfuls. He even drank the soup honestly and licked the soup at the bottom of the bowl clean.

He looked like he had been hungry for a long time. At the same time, Taoist Taiyao's every move was closely watched by the eyes on the tables behind him. There were three groups of people in total. Their appearance was different, and they didn't look like ordinary people.

Do.

Taiyao Taoist gently placed the coarse porcelain bowl on the wooden table and suddenly let out a long sigh.

"Your Majesty, you are really interested in watching Pindao eat a bowl of noodles for so long..."

Having said this, he did not forget to lick the noodle soup from the corner of his mouth.

"Devil, you have taken over Taoist Taiyao's body and killed many heroes of our righteous path. You should have expected that one day you would be targeted by us and the righteous path, right?"

A big man with a bamboo hat on his back at the next table sneered: "Besides, you are really asking for your own death. If you don't run anywhere, you want to run to the capital of Cai State... Both inside and outside this capital are surrounded by the Nandou Formation of my Nandou lineage. Surrounded, do you think you can escape?"

Taiyao Taoist smiled bitterly: "If you really want to launch a big formation, then won't the people in this capital, including the King of Cai and others, also be annihilated in ashes? Will they be refined to death with me?"

"It is natural for us to eliminate demons and protect the Tao and sacrifice some ordinary sentient beings."

The big man in a bamboo hat spoke naturally.

Taiyao Taoist shook his head: "It seems that you don't understand... You don't understand at all why I came to Cai Guo."

As he spoke, a black energy suddenly shot into the sky from the direction of the palace.

"What?"

The big man in the bamboo hat was stunned for a moment, and the next second, his head was cut off by a sword light.

Yun Ye grinned, and countless black energy suddenly spread from behind him, engulfing him from all directions in an instant.

"Next, let me open the ancient immortal ruins here first! After I take out that thing, I want to see if you, the seven righteous sects, have any chance to fight me!"
