Tianshu Chapter 1: The Tianshu Empire
This world, and indeed the entire universe, is filled with all kinds of elements. And Blue Star, from the beginning of the element, gradually possessed spirituality, and this planet began to become different.
Nine hundred and eighty-one years of shaking the light calendar
When night fell, a dense jungle in the most central mountain of the continent was covered by a purple-black mist. In the faint mist, there are thin wisps of golden light, although this golden light is small, but as long as you stare at it, it seems that there is a golden vortex, which can instantly cover you.
Time passed quietly, and a ray of sunshine rose at the foot of the mountain, which could be seen with the naked eye, and the whole mountain seemed to be dressed in a purple-gold coat, steaming with a thick black gas, as if there had been an earth-shattering war before, and the whole land was already potholed.
The only thing that remains unchanged is the altar of the Three Lives on the top of the mountain. A young man who slowly crawled out of the big pit, with dried tears and black ash on his young and immature face, staggered away to the foot of the mountain. He still muttered in his mouth: Sister, father, mother, and everyone...
Above the altar was a small island hanging in the sky, the only island in the entire Blue Star that was not controlled by the gravity of the magnetic field, and was thousands of feet above the ground. The island is surrounded by a milky white mist that hides it well.
So much so that it is difficult for people on the ground to detect its existence with the naked eye. It wasn't until a cataclysm a few years ago that happened in the town of Qilin of the Shaking Light Empire in the center of the continent that everything began to change, and the entire island seemed to be infected with a black-purple plague.
A crystal large enough to envelop the entire island was silently formed, isolating the entire town of Kirin from the rest of the world. Three years passed, and the crystals gradually lost their power, turning into eight shackles thousands of meters long, as thick and hard as steel bars, each of which was covered with dense, jagged runes. The silver-purple air flow was faintly visible on each rune, making people feel that they would be attached and swallowed by it as soon as they got close.
Qilin Town, an ecological town belonging to the Tianji City of the Tianquan Empire. Because of a cataclysm that occurred in the 981st year of the Shaking Light Calendar, this beautiful and rich town became devastated.
Beneath the sealed Hanging City, there was a huge pit that seemed to be about to be released all the time. According to the people of the Celestial Empire, it could be a passage to another dimension.
However, in the other six empires, there is a pit similar to this. However, the Celestial Power Empire appeared twice in a thousand years.
Three years later
Chaoyang City of the Tianshu Empire
"Grandpa Mu, where are we going?" In the bustling street, an old man with gray hair and sideburns was followed by a young man about ten years old with a young face. Under the young man's black thick hair, his smooth face was angular, revealing the coldness that he should not have at his age. Thick eyebrows, gray deep eyes are bright and deep, like a pool of soft, clear lake water. Under the high bridge of the nose, the ruddy little mouth holds a grass mustard seed, and the wheat-colored skin looks vigorous in the sun.
On his chest, a pure white peace buckle shimmered in the sunlight.
"Go and apply for the Tianshu Academy. It was a kind old man, with neat and bright hair, a gray-white beard sparsely distributed across the chin, and a resolute and soft face with sharp edges. The dark red lips were already chapped, the nose was densely dotted with age spots, and in the slightly sunken eye sockets, a pair of gray-black eyes looked cloudy but radiant.
Although the old man's figure was thin, it seemed that a gust of wind could knock down this old man who had suffered many vicissitudes, but even the old man who looked weak and couldn't help the wind was so majestic and tall in his back. The green tendons on his wood-like hands were clearly visible, and there seemed to be a hidden force like a wild beast in his thick palms.
The little boy looked at the old man blankly, and a look of curiosity flashed in his eyes. In the past three years, he has been single-handedly pulled by the old man in front of him, as the closest person around him, for going to the academy to study, the little boy still has a trace of mustard in his heart, but he is full of freshness to the academy.
The old man looked at the little boy gently, patted the little boy on the shoulder with his slightly rough palm, and said earnestly: "Tianshu Academy plays a pivotal role in the entire Elemental Continent, and it is collectively known as the Seven Great Courtyards in the Elemental Continent along with Tianxuan School, Tianji Academy, Tianquan Academy, Yuheng Academy, Kaiyang Academy, Shaking Light Academy, and these six academies. That is, the academy that represents the various empires on the Elemental Continent. The assessment of the seven courtyards is extremely strict, and I don't know how many new students are rejected every year. So I hope you can study at Tianshu Academy, communicate, and become stronger. Someday, we will go back to our home. ”
"I understand Grandpa Mu, but what will you do if I go to the academy?" the little boy continued.
Mu Yu immediately smiled and said mysteriously: "Of course I'm going with you." ”
Blazing Forest, the outer inner circle
The Blazing Forest is located near the Tianshu Mountains of the Tianshu Empire, and is also known as the Burning Forest. From a distance, it looked as if a mountain forest was burning, as if the fire spirits were dancing, but the fire never spread to other places. Since the Blazing Forest is covered with a large amount of liquid hydrogen, it only takes a match to set the entire forest on fire.
Every plant including trees is burning, they have no green leaves, some only show black trunks, some black residues on the surface are the skin of these strange plants that have fallen off by burning, and every ten years, they will fall off black rock charcoal, also called flint. These things that fall off are of great use in the outside world, and the fire elemental they produce is the purest of all. Ordinary flint is basically ten years old, and a hundred years is even more rare.
"Boss, what do you think that's that?"
"Huh?"
In the core area on the outskirts of the Blazing Forest, a total of thirteen men in black trench coats were wandering around, and on their left chests, there was a red badge. The badge is branded with the six-pointed star and the words Nangong. A cluster of fire rose from the left hand of a middle-aged man led by him, and on the small lake less than a foot away, a red and blue crystal emerged from the surface of the lake, emitting a dazzling light like a vast star.
The cluster of fire in the middle-aged man's hand, like the light of fireflies, trembled violently in front of it, as if it was about to be extinguished at any time.
"This, this is!" Before the words fell, only the sound of a phoenix chirping was heard in the air. The sky that was originally as black as ink was rendered red, and the surrounding environment was distorted due to the change in high temperature.
A large fiery red bird soared in the air, its body was eight meters long, its wingspan was nearly six zhang wide, and its feet had three claws, like a crane. The gorgeous fiery red tail feathers are clearly patterned, and the golden lines exude a noble and sacred atmosphere. The eyes that sparkled like red crystals were like a pool of molten slurry, as if as long as you stared at it, you would be swallowed and dissolved by its eyes at any time.
The big bird's sharp beak constantly emitted a loud phoenix chirp, all of which showed its identity as the overlord of the sky.
"Could this be the Fire Phoenix?" Because of the arrival of this strange bird in the sky, the surrounding air seemed to turn into an invisible hand, grabbing the throats of these dozen men.
Some of them have already slumped and fallen unconscious because they could not hold on to the coercion from this big bird.
The giant bird slowly flew down in front of the red and blue crystal, and the scorching heat made the space around it begin to distort.
This big bird named Fire Phoenix has ruby eyes that seem to erupt with unimaginable anger at any moment.
"Humans, why are you trespassing here?"
Seeing that this giant bird could actually speak out of its mouth, it really startled the man with the title.
"Your Majesty, my brother and I are from Chaoyang Pavilion, because we were sent by the Pavilion Lord to investigate the Blazing Forest on the outskirts of the Tianshu Mountain Range. But I have mistakenly entered your dwelling place, and you can forgive me and my brethren for our unintentional offense. The man at the head bowed with his fists and said respectfully towards the giant firebird in the sky.
Hearing this, he saw a giant bird hovering in the air for a circle, turning into a handsome young man wearing a red striped robe. The robe was engraved with a golden phoenix feather, the long red flowing hair was windless, and the rich fire element around him began to beat strongly with his changes.
Huo Feng, who transformed into a young man, said with a disdainful expression: "The deity sees that your cultivation is not easy, so I will forgive you this time." Go back and tell the people above you that the deity will recuperate in the blazing forest for a period of time during this time, and if there is any living person who disturbs the deity's rest, don't blame the deity for being ruthless!"
"Yes. ”
