Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Ladder to Heaven

As the scene in front of him shattered, the real scene appeared in front of Gu Qiu.

Here, it is actually a ladder suspended in the air!

The staircase spiraled up to the skies. It seems to have been born here, and it is one with the sky and the clouds.

A crescent moon hung high in the sky, and an indescribable silver white sprinkled on the stairs, this scene, mysterious and dreamy.

Gu Qiu looked up, and there seemed to be a little light shining at the end of the stairs.

It's like a guide, it's like a summons...

You can only go forward.

I don't know how long I walked, Gu Qiu came to the end of the stairs. Here, there is only a blue quaint stone gate, and the stone gate is also suspended in the air like this, with a staircase in front of the door, and nothing behind the door.

There is an ever-bright lamp on each side of the stone gate, and the dim firelight makes this stone gate look extremely weird!

Each of the two doors is carved with a portrait, and the figure on the left door is red, with four arms and three angry eyes. Holding a golden scimitar in his right hand and a human skull covered in blood in his left, his face facing the sky in the shape of drinking blood, his hair drooping, and his feet stretched out left and right, each holding a dead corpse. Although they were portraits, the two corpses seemed to be writhing in pain.

The man on the right door, thin and white skull, with three heads and five arms, wearing a crown of five skulls, holding a jasper bone staff high in his right hand, holding a human head in his left hand, and stepping on flames.

The man's head was still dripping blood!

This kind of depressed atmosphere made Gu Qiu stunned.

Break!

Gu Qiu shouted, and the bloody qi erupted, cutting through the void!

The two writhing corpses on the left door stopped writhing, and the human head on the right door stopped dripping blood!

Gu Qiu's eyes narrowed, not knowing what he was thinking.

A moment later.

Gu Qiu held the knife in his right hand, and his left hand slowly stuck to the stone door.

There is no second way, only to go in.

The whole body's Xuan Force was quickly infused into his left arm, and Gu Qiu pushed it in.

Thundered!

The stone door was slowly pushed open.

Gu Qiu had just looked at the stone gate from a distance, obviously there was nothing behind it, but as soon as he pushed the door open, he found that there was a brightly lit luxury hall inside.

He looked in warily, his right hand clenching the phantom, alert for any danger that might arise at any moment.

It's a magnificent palace hall!

The palace is extremely large, and the whole body is made of white and immaculate jade, which is extremely delicate and gorgeous, exuding a faint luminescence.

On both sides of the main hall are twenty-eight stone pillars painted red, about nine zhang nine high, smooth throughout, carved with headless sacrifices and bloody blades, each stone pillar is inlaid with a glowing blood-red gem, and the red light is sprinkled throughout the whole hall.

In the center of the hall is a bright red carpet, which seems to have been soaked in blood, and it is still oozing blood!

This carpet stretched all the way to the first seat of the hall, and on the first seat sat a middle-aged man in Tsing Yi, his eyes slightly closed, and his breath was like a mountain.

"You're here!" The middle-aged man seemed to have known that Gu Qiu would come.

Gu Qiu raised his eyes, and his body stiffened as if he had been electrocuted!

"Master!" Gu Qiu blurted out.

The person in the first seat is none other than Xu Xuanchen!

He was still dressed as a scribe in green clothes.

"Master, what's going on!" Gu Qiu said in surprise.

Xu Xuanchen opened his eyes, and the essence burst out like lightning, like substance. Now it seems that Xu Xuanchen's temperament is completely different from when he was in the beggar's nest.

Xu Xuanchen looked at Gu Qiu and said, "Do you think it's strange that you came here?"

Gu Qiu nodded: "Yes, master." ”

Xu Xuanchen said lightly: "You sit down first." ”

"Yes!" Gu Qiu looked at the scarlet glowing gem on the stone pillar, then looked at Xu Xuanchen, and walked to Xu Xuanchen and sat down.

"I summoned you here, of course, there is something. How about you feel the concentration of aura here first?" Xu Xuanchen said.

Gu Qiu suddenly thought of something, and replied: "The concentration here is more than twenty times higher than that of the outside world, could it be that the mutation of those demon beasts in the outside world is related to the aura here?"

Xu Xuanchen nodded and said, "Do you know what kind of place this is?"

"I don't know. ”

"This place is called 'Heavenly Hell City', which was a battlefield of the ancient gods in the primeval era, and later formed an independent space, closed between heaven and earth!"

Ancient Battlefield!

It's a space of its own!

"Master, how did you get here, and what do you have to do with this place?"

Xu Xuanchen smiled and said lightly: "I know you will ask these questions, but your strength is too low now, and you don't need to know many things." Now, the most important thing is to build up, you know?"

Gu Qiu nodded and said, "What the master taught. ”

"Okay, I'm going to pass you a mantra now, which is specifically for cultivation here, so that your cultivation will be great in a day! When the time comes, you can go and accomplish what you want to accomplish. Xu Xuanchen looked at Gu Qiu and seemed to be very satisfied with this apprentice.

Gu Qiu looked at Xu Xuanchen, but unexpectedly did not answer, with a pensive expression.

Xu Xuanchen didn't seem to be in a hurry, waiting for Gu Qiu to clarify his thoughts. He knew that Gu Qiu had experienced too much in the past few days and needed some time to digest.

"Master, can you allow the disciple to ask a few questions?" Gu Qiu said.

"You say. ”

"Master, do you remember that you passed on one of my mystical skills?"

"Of course I remember, the Storm. This is also the only occult skill that the teacher will teach you temporarily. Xu Xuanchen smiled.

"Then Master, do you remember where you asked me to go?" Gu Qiu continued to ask.

"Xinghe Palace, I asked you to go to Xinghe Hall to practice. Because it is the only seven-rank sect in the surrounding ten countries, it has strong cultivation resources and a perfect cultivation system, which is much safer than if you are wandering outside, and it can also improve your overall strength. ”

Xu Xuanchen sighed and said, "Why, do you hate the master for not teaching you too much or not personally guiding you?" But the master also told you that I am being hunted down and killed now, and I am too busy to take care of myself, can you understand the master?"

Gu Qiu smiled slightly, but without Xu Xuanchen's words, he continued to ask with his own eyes: "Master, what color are your clothes?"

The smile on Xu Xuanchen's face froze, and he actually showed a gloomy expression, and said, "Why, when I talk to you, you can't reach the meaning, what does it mean to talk to the teacher in this tone?"

Xu Xuanchen suddenly realized that he seemed to be a little out of shape, and immediately regained his familiar and gentle smile, and said: "Apprentice, I know that you have experienced a lot of suffering, but you must know that as a teacher, I have always cared about you, for example, the 'Phantom Seven Kills' in your hand was also brought to you by someone I ordered, can you feel the master's heart?"

Gu Qiu smiled and said to Xu Xuanchen: "I am very grateful. ”

Xu Xuanchen said: "Then what do you think of arranging for the teacher to arrange for you to practice here?"

Gu Qiu said: "Not how. ”

Xu Xuan stood up in dust, his face gloomy, and said sharply: "What do you want to do, Gu Qiu, do you want to disobey the master's orders?"

Gu Qiu also stood up slowly, shook his head, stared at Xu Xuanchen and said, "Because, you are not my master." ”
