Chapter 40: The Storm
Above the sky, looking at the clouds and mist whistling around him, Su Chen shrank back.
Now that it is approaching the end of autumn, the temperature has already dropped a lot, and the temperature is much lower than the ground above the sky, which will make people feel a little chilly.
"Hey, you bastard, why are you flying so high! Su Chen said and pulled the back of the giant beaked bird's neck.
The giant beaked bird was in pain, and a pair of bird eyes glanced at Su Chen angrily, only to find that Su Chen was also looking at it indifferently.
Hiss!
I've confirmed the eyes, this is someone who can't be provoked.
The giant beaked bird leans forward and gently swings its wings horizontally, gradually decreasing its flight altitude.
Soon, the surrounding haze that obscured the view slowly thinned out.
Hey!
This is...
As the giant beaked bird flew lower and lower, some strange places on the ground gradually came into Su Chen's sight.
I saw that there were huge light shields on the boundless earth, like transparent eggshells, enveloping large areas of mountains and rivers in them, connecting with each other.
I remember that when I first selected the cave mansion, the deacon had shown Su Chen and the others a top view of the second realm, and the area he was in should be the inner gate area, and the people who lived here were all the inner gate elders in the sect.
According to Su Chen's memory, the entire second realm was actually a floating continent shaped like a circle, from the outside to the inside, it could be divided into the area of ordinary miscellaneous disciples, the outer gate area, the inner gate area, and finally the Babel Tower area, from a general point of view, it was as if one ring was inlaid together.
The destination of his trip, the Daozang Palace, is located near the Babel Tower in the very center, so it can be said that from the geographical location alone, it is not difficult to see how much importance the sect attaches to this Daozang Palace, which has stored countless classics and inheritances!
You must know that in the Babel Tower of each Dao Realm, there is a Dao Master of the Great Luo Realm guarding it.
At that level, if there is no supreme or quasi-supreme-level figure to make a move, it will be an almost invincible existence on the Tian Yuan Continent!
Da Luo Realm...
Su Chen really felt a little distant and in awe of these three words in his heart.
Although he was accepted as an official disciple by the Daochen Sect, he also knew in his heart that he was only a super-grade qualification after all, not to mention the realm of Daluo, I am afraid that he would not be able to enter the divine realm for the rest of his life.
Alas.
Why am I so hard ...
The area of the inner gate area was a little smaller than Su Chen had imagined, and the giant beaked bird had already approached the boundary area of the inner gate area after flying for less than an hour.
As the number of light masks on the ground became smaller and smaller, a super-large storm mass that almost frightened Su Chen appeared in front of him!
This, this...
Why is there a storm in the Daochen Sect! ?
And it's so outrageous!
Su Chen couldn't even see the edge of this storm at all!
I only saw the heavy clouds that covered the sky and the sun rotating rapidly, and at the same time, there were countless golden thunderbolts as thick as mountains flashing in the storm, and this terrifying momentum was almost written on the face of the four words of the forbidden area for the living...
I drip mom.
Why is there such a father in the Second Dao Realm! I just want to go to the Dao Zang Hall to learn some martial arts, so I need to put down this kind of formation!
Not only Su Chen, but even the giant beaked bird under him was almost scared to pee.
It has always been basically rented and used by those black-clothed miscellaneous disciples, and even if it is requisitioned by the white-clothed official disciples a few times occasionally, it is just some daily flights.
Speaking of which, this is the first time it has flown to the place of the Daozang Temple, where has it ever seen such a big storm that can scare birds to death!
Su Chen, who was sitting on the back of the giant beaked bird, stroked his chest, calmed his mood a little, and carefully observed the scene in front of him.
A little off...
Su Chen found that this large storm group looked overwhelming, but logically speaking, if all this was true, he who was already so close should have been swept away a long time ago, and he would not be able to feel even a slightly stronger gust of wind like now.
Is it fake?
Although Su Chen had some doubts in his heart, he was still not ready to go any further, even if it was just a glimmer of possibility, he couldn't joke with his own life.
Just as Su Chen was hesitating and wandering, a sound suddenly broke the air behind him.
"Senior Brother Su!" A familiar voice sounded in Su Chen's ears.
"Senior Brother Zhong Yue?" Hearing the voice, Su Chen turned half of his body in surprise and looked at the man who had stopped beside him.
Damn, is it so rich?
I saw that Senior Brother Zhong Yue, who had led him into the sect that day, was riding a mighty dragon eagle at the moment, looking at him with a smile on his face.
The focus is on the dragon eagle!
I remember renting this thing once, it seems to cost 5,000 yuan crystals.
The local tyrants of the sect are so terrifying!
"Senior brother, what's wrong?" Zhong Yue couldn't help but be a little puzzled when he saw that Su Chen had been staring at his mount since they met.
"Ahem, that, Senior Brother Zhong Yue hasn't seen you for a long time, where are you going?" Su Chen came back to his senses and asked embarrassedly.
"I, go to the Daozang Palace, and I'm going to choose a few dragon yuan-level martial arts of the Dragon Realm, after all, I won't be in the sect for a long time in the future. Zhong Yue said this, and there was also a smile on his face.
Su Chen was also stunned when he heard this, and carefully looked at Zhong Yue in front of him again, only to find that the clothes he was wearing were no longer the standard robes with white background and gold rim of those outer disciples. Instead, it is a solid robe with a dark blue base.
Not only in terms of clothing, but the fluctuations of the Yuan Force on Zhong Yue's body have also become very restrained, completely different from the almost liquid Yuan Qi of the Yuan Sea Realm, and it seems that all the great power has been attributed to himself.
"Senior brother, has you reached the Dragon Transformation Realm?" Su Chen asked, his tone a little envious.
Hearing this, Zhong Yue nodded.
"Yes, the one who just broke through a few days ago is now an inner disciple. ”
"Congratulations, senior brother!" Su Chen clenched his fists with both hands, sincerely happy for Zhong Yue.
But Zhong Yue just waved his hand when he heard this.
"The inner disciples of our Dao Dust Sect are not like other sects that still need all kinds of competition and assessments, for outer disciples like you, as long as you practice naturally, you will always reach this level. ”
"Of course, the premise is that you can't fall when you are in the Yuan Sea Realm, after all, the frequency of the triennial supernatural mission is too high. ”
Su Chen, who was on the side, couldn't help but gasp when he heard this.
"Senior brother, what is the approximate survival rate of this supernatural mission?" Su Chen's tone was extremely stiff, and his heart was already completely cowardly.
"I don't know the exact percentage, after all, the survival rate of a mission has a lot to do with its own difficulty and the strength level of the participants, and it cannot be generalized. ”
"But judging from the past situation, only about fifty percent of the outer disciples of the sect can successfully survive to the Dragon Transformation Realm, and two or three percent of the sections from the Dragon Transformation Realm to the Tongshen Realm will die, which makes the disciples who can finally reach the Tongshen Realm often less than thirty percent!"
Zhong Yue's words were like a hammer slammed into Su Chen's heart.
Thirty percent...
It's too low, it's really too low.
"Maybe for some ordinary human races or some middle and low-level martial artists, this world is still quite beautiful. As everyone knows, all this beauty is built on the blood and dry bones of the top powerhouses of the human race. ”
"It's like the Elder Qin who led you to the entrance, even if you are already at the top of the Divine Realm, but what's the use? ”
Hearing Zhong Yue mention Qin Changfeng, Su Chen lowered his head and fell silent, although Qin Changfeng had only been with him for a short time, he left a deep impression on Su Chen.
"Elder Qin Changfeng, is he still alive," Su Chen's voice was a little hoarse.
"You sat down on the day you entered the sect, and now you should be in the martyr's mausoleum of the sect, and you can go and worship when you have time. Zhong Yue replied.
Alas.
Su Chen rubbed his head that was a little swollen, and stopped thinking about these troublesome things.
"Senior Brother Zhong Yue, what's going on with that storm group in front of you?Is it true?" Su Chen pointed his finger at the huge storm in the distance.
"Do you think this storm is real or fake?" Zhong Yue asked with a smile instead of answering.
"Fake!"
Su Chen expressed his opinion.
"This storm seems real and fake. Zhong Yue's words made Su Chen a little confused.
Zhong Yue waved his hand to signal Su Chen to be calm and continue to listen to him.
"This boundless storm mass in your eyes is actually a huge formation that envelops the central area of our Second Dao Realm! Usually, it is in an unactivated state, and it will only be truly opened when a foreign enemy attacks, out of consideration for protecting the core of the sect. ”
What the!?
This storm turned out to be a formation?
Su Chen was so frightened that he secretly swallowed his saliva.
Zhong Yue continued to speak lightly.
"There are a total of nine large arrays in our Dao Dust Sect, and they are used to guard the core area of each Dao Realm, after all, it is the foundation of our sect, and there is no room for error. ”
"As for the power of this big array, I can tell you clearly, if this array is running at full strength, its power is enough to make Da Luo not be able to retreat when he arrives!"
So strong! ?
Su Chen was dumbfounded when he heard it.
"Okay, Senior Brother Su, let's go, it's not too early. Zhong Yue said.
"Uh, okay. Su Chen hurriedly responded.
Zhong Yue slowed down the dragon eagle under him and flew side by side with Su Chen's giant beaked bird.
After a while, the two of them came to the border of the storm.
Looking at the terrible whirlwind and terrifying thunderstorm in the storm, Su Chen felt that his scalp was a little numb.
"Bell... Senior Brother Zhong Yue, are you sure there won't be danger?"
"Don't worry, just follow me. ”
After saying that, the dragon eagle under Zhong Yue flapped his wings and rushed straight into the huge storm group.
"Senior Brother Zhong Yue, wait for me!"
Su Chen didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly slapped the bird's head under him, and commanded the giant beaked bird to follow.
