Chapter 96: Hidden Chess
For two days, they sat on the stone platform and waited. Shangguan Rong adjusted her spirit and energy to maintain the best condition.
Tribulation clouds began to gather above the Tribulation Platform. It was the first time for many ministers to see a heavenly tribulation and they were all curious about how this cultivator managed to survive the tribulation.
After a long time, the calamity clouds gathered and took shape. A vortex-like calamity eye appeared in the middle of the black clouds, emitting a blue-white light. Soon snowflakes began to appear under the calamity clouds.
"Sure enough, heavenly tribulations are all about restraining one's own energy." Zhou An looked up at the sky.
With Shuyao's guidance and the books in Kongling Immortal Mansion, Shangguan Rong had already memorized all the information related to the heavenly tribulation.
When the first energy of the heavenly tribulation took shape and turned into white ice energy, she formed seals with her hands and the fire energy rushed out, forming a golden-red flame shield.
When the ice energy reached its limit, the first heavenly tribulation fell, and a white beam of light hit the light shield in the blink of an eye. Due to the aftermath of the explosion, the tribulation platform began to freeze.
However, since the Tribulation Platform is used to transcend tribulations, a formation has been set up here long ago, and the wave energy will be absorbed and dissipated by the Tribulation Platform.
Seeing this kind of divine power for the first time, many ministers in the court were frightened and broke out in cold sweats, and many of them completely gave up the idea of ​​becoming monks.
After the energy of the first heavenly tribulation was exhausted, the layer of ice covering the tribulation platform quickly turned into mist and dissipated. The light shield around Shangguan Rong changed into a vortex of flames, condensing the power of fire.
When the second heavenly tribulation was condensed again, an ice ball with a diameter of one hundred meters fell down. The leaked cold air made the ministers who were watching from a distance feel a cold wind blowing on their faces.
If they could feel the cold even at such a distance, how horrible a low temperature must the people below have to endure. Coupled with the huge ice ball swooping down, these ministers were filled with deep fear. At this time, Shangguan Rong formed seals with her hands and pointed upwards, then rushed straight up from the ball of fire and collided with the falling ice ball.
Although the fireball is much smaller than the ice ball, the ice ball does stop when it touches.
After the two energy balls of opposite properties and completely different sizes stopped for two seconds, Shangguan Rong changed her seal, and the golden-red fireball suddenly penetrated the inside of the ice ball and exploded from the inside, blasting away the energy of the heavenly calamity and dissipating it in the sky.
Because of this cold and hot energy, a warm rain fell from the sky.
The ministers were shocked again that the queen, who looked delicate on weekdays, actually had such power.
If this angered the queen, she would probably turn all the ministers in the court into ashes with a single flick of her hand.
The energy of the third heavenly tribulation began to condense, and diamond-shaped ice crystals appeared at the eye of the tribulation. These ice crystals were no bigger than a fist at most, and ordinary people could not see them at all from such a long distance, but they could feel the terrifying energy fluctuations contained in these ice crystals.
Shangguan Rong was also nervous. She formed seals with her hands and two phoenix swords flew out from behind her. Golden and dark red flames burst out from the sword bodies, forming two phoenixes hovering above her head.
The ministers did not feel much about the appearance of the phoenix, but they felt that the queen was no longer the same as before.
However, the cultivators watching from a distance could feel the unique pressure of the immortal treasure, and many of them developed a fear of the imperial palace.
Immortal treasures are so precious, and the palace appears again and again. All the cultivators who saw this scene understood that the Qianyuan Palace might have the power to compete head-on with the top sects, or even surpass them.
Just as the third heavenly tribulation was falling, suddenly a mysterious light of a magic weapon came from the Baihua Palace, followed by a stream of light flying away, passing through the three layers of formations above the palace, and disappearing into the sky in a few breaths.
To pass through three layers of formations so easily, even a powerful person of the tenth level of innateness cannot do it. Only with a pass decree can it be done.
Zhou An frowned, but at this moment he had to guard Shangguan Rong to prevent anyone from attacking him. He glanced at the purple-clothed guards guarding the periphery, and these people immediately flew off on their swords to track down the suspect.
The third heavenly tribulation was indeed powerful, but the Phoenix Twin Swords were fairy treasures, and with the perfect match of the Fire Sutra and Shangguan Rong's fire constitution, and later the effects of the Flame Soul Magic Pill and the Phoenix Tail Pill refined by the Hundred Flowers Palace, she was able to unleash 70% of the power of the Phoenix Twin Swords.
The third heavenly calamity was directly dispersed in the sky. The phoenix and the phoenix circled in the sky, dispersing the calamity clouds, and finally turned into two swords and flew back.
At this time, on the tribulation platform, the spiritual talisman was emitting mysterious light that illuminated Shangguan Rong. Black gas began to appear around her body, and her forehead turned black.
The inner demon calamity is the most dangerous, and the disciples from the Kongling Immortal Mansion and the Tiandao Sect who were watching were all watching nervously.
Zhou An was not worried. Even if he was possessed by a demon, he could resolve it. Instead, he was concerned about the sudden flow of light that flew out from the Baihua Palace.
After about half an hour, pure Lihuo Qi appeared on Shangguan Rong's body, and the black air was swept away. The mysterious light of the positive spiritual talisman on the tribulation platform was also retracted.
Shangguan Rong stood up with a look of joy, bowed to Zhou An and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your support."
"Come with me to Baihua Palace." After Zhou An said that, he turned into a stream of light and flew to Baihua Palace. Shangguan Rong was surprised and also flew over on her sword.
The ministers were arranged to leave by the Purple Guards.
As soon as they arrived at the Baihua Palace, they saw many Baihua disciples waiting anxiously. When they saw Zhou An appear, Yingchun was the first to stand up and say, "Your Majesty, the senior sister was ambushed and captured by the Madam."
Zhou An frowned and immediately asked, "Any clues?"
"Madam suddenly launched a surprise attack, imprisoned our senior sister, took away her Hundred Flowers Order, and told us that Hua Wu Yue must go to the Ji Tian Sect in the Western Regions." Yulan said hurriedly.
Shangguan Rong said: "I will immediately have the Purple Guards search the entire city."
"It's too late. She may have already flown out of Qianzhou. Queen, the palace is left to you. I'm going to the Western Regions." Zhou An said as he was about to use his escape technique to fly away.
Several disciples of the Xiantian realm of Baihua Palace all said, "Your Majesty, please take us with you."
Shangguan Rong also said: "Your Majesty, voodoo has spread almost all over the Western Regions. The Baihua disciples are good at using medicine, so we will definitely be able to use it with them."
Zhou An thought for a moment and said, "Yulan and Rose come with me, and the others stay here. I will definitely bring Wu Yue back. You all concentrate on your cultivation and don't slack off."
"Yes." All the disciples here responded.
"Notify Qing Ling and Bai Yan, and bring their men to Linshaguan to see me." After Zhou An finished speaking, the magnolia and rose turned into two vines and wrapped around Zhou An's wrist, and then Zhou An set up a light and flew away.
Zhou An didn't expect that the death of Master Taiyi would bring him so much trouble. He thought that Madam Baihua was used as bait to lure him and Hua Wu Yue to the Phoenix Forest. She was almost sucked dry by the sword refining and should be just a discarded pawn.
It turned out to be a hidden chess piece left by Master Taiyi. Fortunately, this guy died in the last battle, otherwise I would have been like a thorn in my back and unable to sleep or eat.
Now no one knows the location of the Ji Tian Sect. He needs to find it before he can save people when he goes to the Western Regions. It is also time to deal with the Ji Tian Sect issue.
Linsha Pass is the boundary between the Qianyuan Empire and the Western Regions. The Western Regions belong to Huangzhou, which is larger than Qianzhou, but 70% of it is desert, 20% is glaciers, and the last 10% is an oasis, so it is called Huangzhou.
Originally, Linsha Pass was an important military location, but because of the voodoo incident, the military force here is now even stronger. The entire Zhenxi Corps is guarding the pass, and the general defending the city is Tang Manchuria.
Zhou An flew directly to the front of the general's mansion. As soon as he appeared, a flash of green wind appeared in front of him. Mi Luo stopped him and saw that it was Zhou An. He was slightly disappointed and saluted and called out, "Master."
Zhou An knew that this guy was belligerent and might have regarded him as an intruder, so he said, "Let Zhou Di come to see me."
A general behind Miro immediately ran to call for help. Miro was a king-like figure here, and even he called Zhou An "master", which naturally shocked those who heard it.
After being here for a few months, Miro really became powerful to the point of being invincible. The wandering cultivators who came to provoke him were beaten so badly that no trace of them could be seen.
Miro even took the initiative to attack four times, flew to the enemy's city, killed all the hostile practitioners, and finally beheaded the king there, which made the countries near Linsha Pass dare not show any disrespect.
This also resulted in no one looking for trouble afterwards, making Miro extremely bored.
