"Why is it a bit hot?"
The flower-backed turtle looked around in confusion. The cold wind was raging on the road, and there was frost everywhere. The road outside the yard was white. The demon world called this place the "Arctic Ice Palace" because it was covered in ice and snow all year round, and the entrance was located in the north of the demon world.
"arrive!"
When passing by a yard, the flower-backed turtle suddenly spoke something.
Chen Luo stopped and threw the flower-backed turtle aside.
The highly active external brain gradually calmed down, and the temperature on the surface of the body slowly returned to normal.
In front of him was a nearly three-meter-high wooden door, painted red with a row of golden door nails. Through the crack in the door, one could see the scene inside. Unlike the snow-covered outside, the space inside this door was actually midsummer.
The sun was shining brightly and the warm wind was blowing. The willow branches beside the pond were dancing in the wind, and ripples were occasionally seen on the emerald green lake surface.
'Fifth level maze, dangerous.'
This time, the feedback from the formation master's brain was different from before. The same fifth-level formation gave back information of danger. This meant that the formation in this courtyard was not something he was familiar with. Formations were easy to count. The higher the level of formation, the more complex the formation patterns involved. Each high-level formation master had his own hidden tricks, and this unique formation could only be solved by themselves.
Chen Luo reached out and took out a stack of talisman papers from his sleeve.
The old way is to use the talisman paper figurine to explore the way when encountering danger.
The art of talismans has no future in his hands.
With the infusion of spiritual power, seven or eight little talisman paper figures flew out from his hands and soon arrived at the gate.
laugh!
Before these talisman paper figures could move, the restriction on the door flickered, and then all the talisman paper figures were burned into black ashes and fell off in large pieces.
It seems that the talisman paper man's method of exploring the way is useless. The fifth-level formation is indeed not so easy to deal with.
"Brother, please go up and knock on the door."
Standing up, Chen Luo pondered for a moment, and saw the flower-backed turtle next to him from the corner of his eye. He raised his hand and patted the turtle's shell, and said something earnestly, with a look of great responsibility on his face.
"I?!"
The flower-backed turtle looked confused.
He subconsciously glanced at the vermilion gate in front of him. The two lanterns swaying on it looked like the eyes of a demon, making his heart tremble.
“I think this matter needs further consideration.”
The flower-backed turtle swallowed his saliva. He was just a fortune-telling turtle and had never thought that he could shoulder such an important responsibility.
"Don't worry, big brother will support you. There will be no problem with me here!" Chen Luo nodded affirmatively to the flower-backed turtle, his eyes full of belief.
The atmosphere was so tense that the flower-backed turtle had no choice but to go ahead. This newly recognized "big brother" was ruthless and cruel. If he didn't go forward, he would definitely save his face after waiting for a while. There was no doubt about that. He had come to the fairy palace this way before.
Rather than taking passive risks in the end, it is better to take the initiative. At least there is hope when encountering danger.
"It's fierce! Very fierce!!"
The flower-backed tortoise walked very slowly, calculating with its shell as it walked, and its steps became slower and slower, until it was almost crawling. Chen Luo, who was standing next to it, couldn't stand it anymore, so he walked over and kicked the flower-backed tortoise's shell.
"Brother, I will lend you a helping hand."
The flower-backed tortoise, which was still moving and calculating, only felt a huge force coming at it, and then its body crashed into the door like a cannonball.
"Fuck you."
The flower-backed turtle's face turned green with fright. At the critical moment, his limbs and head all retracted into his shell, and his round body rushed forward.
Bang!
A muffled sound.
The vermilion painted door was shaken by the tortoise shell, and a layer of light golden prohibition emerged. Array patterns lit up from various positions in the gatehouse, and a white light appeared on the two lanterns at the door, slashing down fiercely like a chain.
Sizzle!
The flower-backed turtle that hit the door didn't even have a chance to bounce back before being hit by the two thunders.
The huge turtle shell spun and hit the ground, emitting a lot of green smoke and a burnt smell.
"So it's thunder magic."
Chen Luo had a clue in his mind. His second bone pattern was the thunder pattern. Chen Luo rarely used this thunder pattern. Yang thunder and lightning methods were hard to come by. For Chen Luo at this stage, the effect of a single Yin thunder was not as good as other methods. After a trial, the array master in the external brain also quickly adjusted the calculation ideas and quickly reduced the risk of entering the yard from "dangerous" to "controllable".
"Be careful, brother. I'm here to save you."
Chen Luo, who was sure of the danger, quickly dodged and flew over to grab the flower-backed turtle, allowing him to avoid the second lightning strike. Two more lightning arcs struck the lantern at the door, but this time Chen Luo blocked it with one hand. The lightning rushed into his body and was quickly absorbed and transferred by the lightning pattern.
The flower-backed turtle, with its face charred black, poked its head out of its shell tremblingly, with black smoke still coming out of its head.
After seeing Chen Luo, tears started to flow down.
If he couldn't defeat him, he would definitely not recognize this big brother!
"Thank you, brother."
What you think is one thing, and your outward attitude is another. Whether you can escape or not depends on the methods used by this big brother. The flower-backed turtle can still tell which is more important.
Squeak.
After breaking the restriction at the door, Chen Luo raised his hand and pushed towards the door.
As expected, they did not encounter any restrictions this time, and the man and the turtle officially entered the courtyard. The warm wind blew, and the two walked along the cobblestone path for a while. Soon they came to a large lake. The lake they had seen through the crack in the door was even larger than they had expected. The lake was sparkling, and the reeds on the shore were swaying. There was a fishing boat in the middle of the lake. An old man whose face could not be seen stood on the bow of the boat. He was wearing a straw hat to protect himself from the sun, and he was holding a bamboo pole with both hands, rowing the boat while singing loudly. This scene was completely different from other courtyards in the fairy palace.
"It's not a puppet! It's most likely the Ascended One we are looking for."
The flower-backed turtle said something.
Chen Luo did not speak, his consciousness spread out, carefully observing the old man rowing the boat. He sensed a familiar aura from him, which was very similar to an old friend he had fought before.
'Master of the Golden Light Cave.'
The Master of Jinguan Cave was the first Nascent Soul cultivator that Chen Luo had ever fought against, and he left a very deep impression on him.
In Chen Luo's memory, the master of Jin Guang Cave had died a long time ago. When the Seventh Ancestor of Qionghua activated the Dragon Tomb, the master of Jin Guang Cave was unlucky enough to hit his head and was the first to die. In the Tiannan Region, the death of a Nascent Soul cultivator was a major event that shocked the world.
The aura of the old man in front of him is very similar to that of the Lord of the Golden Light Cave, but if you look closely, you will find that there are still some differences between the two.
"Middle stage of Nascent Soul?"
The flower-backed turtle was also observing the old man rowing the boat. After a short while, he had already seen through the old man's character.
A cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul!
This strength is naturally enough to dominate the lower world and become the king, but it is not enough in the upper world. The demon world is a special world located within the Ice Palace. There are even sixth-level masters inside. For the cultivators in this world, the Nascent Soul Realm can only be said to be good, and there is still a long way to go before it can shock the demons. The flower-backed turtle mingles in the demon world. Although its strength is not as good as those "demon saints", it is not comparable to ordinary demons. A "junior" in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul dares to play tricks in front of him, which makes the turtle master angry instantly.
He is very angry now!
It would be fine if he couldn't beat the 'big brother', but a small minion under Mrs. Spider dared to put on airs in front of him.
"Brother, wait a moment. Let me catch this old guy and teach him how to talk to us seniors." The tortoise pattern on its back flickered. In a short time, the flower-backed turtle had figured out the whereabouts of the old man opposite, and also knew that there was no formation around.
The turtle was sure it was safe, and the grin on its face became even brighter.
He can beat ten of these youngsters who ascended from the lower realm without the help of formations!
"I told you to pretend with Grandpa Turtle!"
The flower-backed turtle roared, and its body suddenly grew larger, and flew up. He opened his mouth wide, and his head quickly grew larger, like a hill. His mouth was as huge as an abyss, and a pitch-black cane flew out of his mouth and fell into his hand.
The crutch grew bigger in the wind and turned into a ten-meter-long black stick, which smashed down towards the fishing boat in the center of the lake.
boom!
The tip of the crutch hit the boat first, and the fishing boat exploded under the crutch of the flower-backed turtle, and wood chips flew everywhere. The water splashed and a circle of waves as high as ten meters flew out. The old man who was paddling at the bow before was smashed into a pulp on the spot without any strength to fight back under the crutch.
A sense of relief and joy as his thoughts came clear arose in the turtle's heart.
His figure flashed, and a wave rose under his feet, carrying his body towards the center of the lake.
Even if the body is smashed to pieces, the Nascent Soul can still be captured.
Flying to the area where the fishing boat exploded, the flower-backed turtle inserted the crutch in his hand into the water and stirred it gently. Under the traction of the crutch, the lake water below quickly turned into a huge whirlpool, and the corpses that sank to the bottom of the lake were swept up by the lake water. In the center, a Yuanying was caught in the hand of the flower-backed turtle like a fish caught in a net.
"Keep singing for Grandpa Turtle? Grandpa Turtle has seen many people like you who play tricks on others."
Holding the Nascent Soul in its hand, the Flower-backed Turtle flashed and returned to the shore.
All this happened in a flash, and Chen Luo did not intervene at all. In this short time, he had remembered the origin of this person, who was the former owner of Jinguang Cave - Painted Skin Old Demon.
This person had some interactions with Chen Luo.
In the past, when he was in Qionghua Sect, the master of Taihao Peak had a grandson named Xuan Tianchong. This person was famous before Chen Luo entered Qionghua Sect. When he joined Yaowang City, Chen Luo, he almost joined Xuan Tianchong's sect. Later, when they went to the sword washing pool in Wan Yao Mountain, Xuan Tianchong teamed up with the centipede monster to attack and kill the younger generation of disciples of Qionghua Sect. In the end, he disappeared leaving behind a human skin. Afterwards, the Seventh Ancestor of Qionghua guessed the identity of this old demon based on the human skin (Chapter 353).
