Chapter Twenty-Five: The First Shadow Abyss
The familiar feeling of vertigo hit, and when they opened their eyes again, the two of them were already in a golden hall.
Twelve gilded pillars reach the top of the hall, each of which is coiled by two five-clawed golden dragons, whose heads poke out towards the entrance and end of the hall. On the left and right sides of the main hall stand a row of two-zhang high statues, which extend to the end of the main hall. At the top of the main hall, there are eighty-one beads like night pearls, and a golden magic circle ball that exudes a faint golden light is surrounding the center.
Following in the footsteps of Li Yishui, the two walked along the bluestone slab in the middle of the statue to the high platform at the end of the main hall.
Lin Feng walked forward while secretly observing the statues standing on both sides. These statues have different forms, some hold big swords, making gestures to slash, some step on flying swords, hold green blades in their hands, like fighting swords for thousands of miles, and some hold axes, hold wine gourds, hold pagodas, and ride huge beasts under them.
Suddenly, Lin Feng's gaze froze, staring closely at the penultimate statue on the left, a woman holding a guqin and floating in the sky.
"This, isn't this the Nine Heavens Venerable in the cave?" Lin Feng was very surprised.
"Could it be that all the statues here are as strong as this Nine Heavens Venerable?"
"Shhh Although he didn't know what level of powerhouse Venerable he was, just being able to erect a statue to worship meant that Lin Feng couldn't imagine his existence at present. After all, so far, the strongest person Lin Feng has seen is only Lin Yuancheng, who has been seated.
Soon, the two of them came to the bottom of the high platform at the end of the main hall. Twelve steps lead to the high platform, where four tables are placed on the left and right, and the main seat is a high chair engraved with mysterious symbols, and a middle-aged man is sitting at the end.
Dressed in a black and white robe, his long purple hair was tied in a bun and naturally draped behind him. A soft face is wearing a faint smile, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.
Quietly looked at Lin Feng and the others standing under the high platform, their eyes shining.
"Shadow envoy Li Yishui, meet the sect master. Li Yishui crossed his hands in front of his chest and bowed.
"The shadow envoy has worked hard, the task is complete, enter the second floor of the Wanbao Pavilion and select a real-level item, and retreat. The Sect Master, who was sitting on the high chair, said in a calm tone. As the words fell, a golden light door suddenly appeared in front of a statue of a floating pavilion on the left side of the main hall.
"Sect Master Xie, Li Yishui retired. Bowing again, Li Yishui turned around and walked towards the light gate on the left.
Seeing Li Yishui turn around and leave, Lin Feng's heart tightened, and he began to look a little nervous on the surface.
After staring at each other like this for a quarter of an hour, the atmosphere in the main hall became more and more depressing, and just when Lin Feng really couldn't hold on, the sect master sitting upright above finally spoke.
"You are Lin Feng?"
"I ......"
"You've sent someone to arrest me, and you don't know what my name is. Isn't this funny?" couldn't help but complain in his heart, Lin Feng learned Li Yishui's movements and bowed.
"Yes. ”
"Yes, yes, you can get on the first platform in the next three realms, your qualifications are acceptable, and you can barely be my disciple. The sect master reached out and touched his smooth chin, and said with a strange expression.
"Brother...... Disciple?" Lin Feng looked at the man above with a stunned expression, a little at a loss.
"Just to make me an apprentice, they arrested me from thousands of miles away, this, am I so good?" Lin Feng thought in his heart full of puzzlement.
Seeing Lin Feng's expression, the sect master smiled faintly and said softly: "Sect Master Meng Xiangtian of this Heavenly Sect, the middle level of the Returning Spirit Liuhe Realm, as for what is the return to the soul, when you become my disciple, I will naturally tell you this common sense." ”
"How about it, becoming my disciple is the core disciple of my Heavenly Sect, or the sect master's descendant, the same deacon, and the benefits are countless. Meng Xiangtian's voice was extremely tempting, and Lin Feng's whole person completely relaxed, and he was about to speak after Meng Xiangtian's words.
"Hum—"
Suddenly, the Creation Furnace appeared in his mind, and it shook slightly, Lin Feng only felt that his head was cold, and Meng Xiangtian's voice was no longer full of temptation, and cold sweat flowed down all of a sudden. Lin Feng met Meng Xiangtian's gaze, his face twitched, and he smiled awkwardly.
"You seem nervous? Don't be nervous, it's something to celebrate. With that, Meng Xiangtian got up and slowly walked down the stairs and walked towards Lin Feng.
Lin Feng subconsciously took two steps back, and Meng Xiangtian immediately stopped.
"Hey, I was able to get rid of my Heavenly Dao Phantom Voice, it seems that the secret is not small. After saying that, the whole person turned into a phantom and disappeared. Lin Feng rubbed his eyes, but saw Meng Xiangtian sitting upright on the high chair, as if he had never left.
However, at this time, Meng Xiangtian had long since lost the smile he had at the beginning, like a spring breeze, and instead looked down at Lin Feng with an indifferent face, as if it was not a person standing below, but an ant on the side of the road.
The powerful contrast made Lin Feng unable to react, and he was there for a while.
"Meng Xiangtian, I just said don't use this kind of trick, you don't believe it, you see, it's seen through. Hehehe......" A gloomy voice suddenly sounded in the hall, and the words were full of mockery.
On the contrary, Meng Xiangtian was very calm and unmoved by words.
"It doesn't matter, if you succeed, it will take less time, and if you don't succeed, you will just return to the original path. ”
"Tut-tut, Meng Xiangtian, it seems that your state of mind has improved again, I'm afraid that you have entered the ruthless realm this heavenly affection. ”
Meng Xiangtian didn't answer, still looking at Lin Feng below with an indifferent expression.
"Hmph, do you think you can resist it in this way, I advise you to prepare the way back early, but it's only a hundred years. Hehehe-"
"Don't bother. "Still indifferent, without the slightest mood swing.
It seemed to be boring, and the gloomy voice did not appear again.
"Zong, Sect Master Meng, I have thought about it carefully, I am still willing to be your disciple, Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship. Lin Feng had already regained consciousness, and hurriedly said, kneeling down.
Halfway through his knees, he seemed to be blocked by something invisible, and he couldn't kneel.
"No need, you're not worthy of being my disciple. Meng Xiangtian's voice came faintly.
"You changed your face too quickly, I licked my face and was ready to kneel you, but I didn't let you kneel. Lin Feng's heart was galloping.
"I don't care about the secret on your body, I'm just curious, and since you don't want to hand it over, I'm not going to snatch it. ”
Lin Feng had already scolded in his heart, Sect Master, your old temperance muttered, who licked his face and wanted to accept disciples at the beginning, but now it's good, he turned his face when he saw through the trick, and besides, you didn't ask me for it, don't you know how I won't give it.
"You don't have to worry, my Heavenly Sect is the most disciplined, and it also pays attention to fairness and justice. If one day you feel that your secret can be exchanged, I believe it can give you a satisfying bargaining chip. ”
It seemed that there were too many words to say at one time, Meng Xiangtian paused, stared at Lin Feng for a moment, and then continued: "Since you have ascended to the first platform, it means that your qualifications are quite reluctant, and it is not that you can't become a disciple of Tianzong." ”
"No, I don't want to, I just want to go back to Linjia Town. Lin Feng refused with all his heart.
"Trialist Lin Feng, stepping on the first platform, his qualifications are acceptable, he will enter the Heavenly Sect Shadow Abyss, and the trial will be three years, and when the trial is over, he will be promoted to the upper three realms, and he can enter the sect and grant the inner disciples. ”
As Meng Xiangtian's words fell, between the two statues on the right side of the main hall, a pitch-black light door suddenly appeared, and a vortex on the light door slowly rotated, overflowing with a trace of black gas, which looked gloomy.
Lin Feng looked at the black light gate and couldn't help but retreat, but was blocked by an invisible force.
"Go ahead. Meng Xiangtian, who was above the high platform, waved his hand lightly, and Lin Feng's whole person involuntarily flew towards the light gate and jumped into the light gate.
Looking at Lin Feng, who jumped into the light gate, Meng Xiangtian said softly, "Let Xuan'er come to the Shadow Heaven Palace to see me." ”
A black shadow quickly appeared next to the high chair, and finally turned into a man in black, kneeling on one knee.
"Yes"
With a simple reply, the man in black turned into a black shadow with a pop and disappeared.
