Chapter 836: The Road Back Cut Off...
Why did he stare at that bronze gate for so long?
Once Chen Huai'an and the others had completely disappeared into the shadows inside the door, Bi Yuewu muttered to herself the question that had been lingering in her mind for a long time.
"You mean, what can he see through that bronze gate?" Tu Fuxing narrowed his eyes, his expression grave.
If that's the case, then that's what 늀놋 means.
Moreover, this ascended immortal possessed an extremely strong sword intent. He had never seen any ascended immortal reach this level in the way of the sword before, and the other party's strength was even greater than that of Hua Jinzhen. He even suspected that the Demon Locking Tower might have been cut down by Chen Huai'an with a single sword strike.
"I am guessing, but I may be overthinking it."
Bi Yuewu sneered: "What makes a mere mortal think he can see things that we can't? No matter how talented he is, he's still worlds apart from immortals like us."
“That makes sense.” Tu Fuxing nodded in deep agreement.
Having gone through countless reincarnations, how could they not know the level of these mortals who ascended to immortality? Even their greatest enemy in each reincarnation—the Dragon Soul Inheritor—was nothing more than a worm that was crushed by those big shots of the Celestial Clan.
What these immortals need to do is play the role of chess pieces on the chessboard. If the great ones tell them to go east, they absolutely cannot go west.
Bi Yuewu and Tu Fuxing did not notice that behind them, Hua Jinzhen, who was standing respectfully in front of them, now had a cold hatred hidden deep in his eyes.
Previously, Hua Jinzhen held the immortals of the celestial realm in high esteem.
Even if these immortals told her to die, she would feel that it was a worthy death.
She still held this view when Tu Fu Xing and Bi Yue Wu had just arrived.
until……
Bi Yuewu and Tu Fuxing insisted on making Wang Shouyi enter the dangerous Heavenly Refining Mysterious Array.
Everything has changed.
The fear of possibly losing love almost devoured Hua Jinzhen; it felt as if a piece of her heart was missing, and this pain transformed into a fierce hatred that lingered in her heart and was buried deep in her eyes.
She didn't understand.
Wang Shouyi had only just entered the Integration Realm. Even if he were to go in, he would only be a hindrance to Chen Huai'an and the others. Bi Yuewu and Tu Fuxing definitely knew this. So why did they insist on letting Wang Shouyi go in? Was it because his life was so insignificant?
But the insignificant lives of Bi Yuewu and Tu Fu Xingyan were more important to her than all the gods and Buddhas.
At this moment, Hua Jinzhen bit her lip tightly.
She deeply felt the gap between immortals and mortals.
She wasn't a fairy, so she didn't even have the right to speak.
If she were also a celestial being, would Bi Yuewu and Tu Fuxing give her some face?
"Hua Jinzhen, Chen Huai'an claims to be an elder of your Kunlun Immortal Palace. How much do you know about him? Tell me about it."
Bi Yuewu's sudden question made Hua Jinzhen's murderous aura subside somewhat.
She paused for a few seconds, then said indifferently, "Reporting to the Immortal Palace, Elder Chen has been a member of the Kunlun Immortal Palace for many years and is one of my confidants. He has extremely high talent. Although I haven't seen him in the previous few reincarnations, his cultivation has improved very quickly with the help of the Ascension Pillar. Now he is one of my most important combat forces."
When Bi Yuewu and Tu Fuxing heard Hua Jinzhen mention the Ascension Pillar, the wariness in their eyes vanished instantly, replaced by deeper disdain and contempt.
Those who ascended to immortality used the Ascension Pillar and were completely under the control of the powerful beings of the Celestial Race.
What good is Chen Huai'an's talent, no matter how much it is?
Even if I were lucky enough to become an immortal in the future, I would still be just a servant like them.
Time passed by, second by second.
Bi Yuewu, who had been staring silently at the array plate, suddenly spoke up: "Let's go, follow them in. We've already scouted the way ahead, so we shouldn't encounter any danger if we go in."
A greedy glint flashed in his eyes: "The Heavenly Refining Mystic Array..."
It is said to be a grand formation set up by the great gods, with heaven and earth as its foundation and a central well as its core, refining heaven and earth to suppress everything!
Perhaps even the Great Emperor never went inside to explore it.
If there really is some kind of divine connection inside, that would be a great blessing!
Tu Fuxing was intrigued by Bi Yuewu's words and looked at the darkness inside the bronze gate with restless desire.
“Hua Jinzhen, you don’t need to go in. Just stay outside and keep watch.”
Bi Yuewu turned around and gave Hua Jin a cold look, then said, "By the way, the Emperor wants you to hand over the four Grade 4 Heavenly Essence Jade Marrow pieces as soon as possible."
In this cycle of reincarnation, as the representative of Lingxiao Palace in the mortal realm, you actually obtained four Grade 1 Heavenly Essences. The immortals of Lingxiao Palace have high hopes for you!
"Later... be prepared to accept punishment!"
"That's because of unforeseen circumstances!" Hua Jinzhen exclaimed anxiously, "No matter what, we still got four. Didn't the Demon Realm and the Buddhist Kingdom not get any?"
"That's your business." Bi Yuewu avoided answering. "It's useless to talk to you. As for what the variables are and how to deal with them, Your Majesty will give the order when the time comes!"
After saying that, he ignored Hua Jinzhen, whose expression was constantly shifting between anger and uncertainty.
놙 and Tu Fuxing stepped into the bronze gate together.
…
at the same time.
Inside the bronze gate.
Chen Huai'an and the others stood in an empty square, staring wide-eyed and speechless.
They were transported here by some unknown force.
At first, the bronze door was completely dark, with no end in sight in any direction. To avoid any accidents, Chen Huai'an suggested that everyone stick together and walk together, which was also to protect Wang Shouyi, the weakest of the group.
However, an unexpected incident still occurred.
With a dizzying sensation, they arrived at this square.
The good news is that none of them got separated, and the thick, inky darkness has disappeared.
The bad news is, they have no way out.
"Hiss—! Where...where exactly is this place?"
Even the well-informed Zhang Yibai couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Above them was not the usual day and night, but a chaotic, murky sky.
Without the sun, moon, or stars, the grayish-yellow air currents, churning like thick soup, seemed like the womb at the beginning of time, pressing heavily overhead, exuding a suffocating atmosphere of deathly stillness and desolation.
And the white jade square beneath their feet is merely the starting point of this world.
In front of the plaza, countless enormous floating mountains broke free from the shackles of gravity, spiraling and winding like a long stairway to heaven, proudly suspended in the void.
On each floating peak sits a palace.
At the lowest level of the floating peaks, the palaces are still simple and dilapidated, bearing the mottled weathering of time; but the further one goes, the more magnificent and splendid the palaces become.
Upon reaching the next section, it was a magnificent palace, with glazed tiles reflecting a cold, chilling light in the dim, chaotic light. One could even vaguely see the phantom of cranes circling around, and thousands of auspicious wisps of mist hanging down.
And everyone's gaze followed the spiraling mountain peak all the way to the highest point—
There, a majestic divine palace, which occupied almost half of the field of vision, was faintly visible, tightly enveloped by pitch-black tribulation clouds that formed a huge funnel shape in the sky.
The calamity cloud seemed like a single eye of the heavens, greedily gazing upon the surrounding area.
Countless purple-gold lightning bolts, like raging dragons, swam and tore wildly in the "funnel," and the roaring sound they emitted, though thousands of feet away, still made everyone's blood surge.
"This...this can't be the Heavenly Realm, can it? Lingxiao Palace?!" Wang Shouyi swallowed hard, his face pale.
Under this immense pressure from heaven and earth, he felt as insignificant as an ant.
In his understanding, the place where the immortals of the world lived would be like this.
Chen Huai'an did not speak. His gaze shifted from the unreachable clouds to the only path in front of him.
It was an iron chain bridge spanning the void, connecting the plaza to the first floating peak.
The bridge has no paving, consisting only of thick iron chains, each as thick as a water vat, which make a teeth-grinding friction sound in the strong wind.
The other side is a bottomless abyss of chaos; just one glance at it feels as if your very soul is being sucked in.
On either side of the iron chain bridge stand two colossal bronze statues, each ten feet tall.
These two colossal statues are clad in heavy armor and wield long axes covered in patina, their bronze surfaces engraved with obscure and incomprehensible runes.
They were not lifeless; their slightly drooping heads created an absolute downward gaze.
Although their empty eye sockets lacked pupils, they exuded a chilling killing intent that seemed almost tangible.
The feeling was like two door gods who had been sleeping for ten thousand years, coldly scrutinizing every mortal spirit who dared to step into the forbidden area.
There is no turning back now; we must forge ahead.
놙 is...
Chen Huai'an pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Although the two bronze statues did not move, his keen sword sense had already detected a heavy, mountain-like force that was firmly locked onto each of their bodies.
"Trying to climb the mountain won't be that easy..."
