Chapter 38: The Magma Furnace
Chu Ziheng slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw the clear and transparent sky and the boundless world of ice and snow, he was on the high ground of this holy mountain, only one step away from the top of the mountain.
The memories in the illusion were extremely vague at this time, leaving only a trace in his mind, and the only thing left was his increasingly firm Dao heart.
"Is this the first test to test the Dao heart?" Chu Ziheng muttered to himself, he had been immersed in the illusion for a long time, and he didn't know how much time had passed in reality.
"My road is at my feet..."Chu Ziheng said calmly, and at the same time took a step forward, climbed to the top of the peak, and stood at the peak of the 10,000-meter holy mountain!
Suddenly, from under his feet, a thick and brilliant beam of light soared into the sky, and the grand fluctuations of divine power spread throughout the entire small world, dyeing the entire sky a golden color.
……
In a magnificent hall, the figure of the Golden-winged Peng King flew out like a golden arrow, suspended in the small world, looking up at the sky with a surprised face.
"It's ...... Chu Ziheng, that kid passed the first level? Why is there such a big noise? King Golden-Winged Peng muttered to himself, after passing the first level of testing the Dao Heart in the past, he would be transferred to a small space inside the Holy Mountain by a spatial force.
He and Huanyu, as well as those old people in the village, were able to judge whether Chu Ziheng had passed the trial or not because they didn't feel the fluctuations of this spatial transfer, but there was nothing they could do about it.
Not only him, but in the small village in the hidden world, Old Man Ye, who was playing chess with Old Man Xiao, also looked at the sky in the distance in amazement, their Immortal Crane Clan has been waiting for this small world for generations, and it is the first time this kind of thing has happened in the records.
"Do you think Xiao Chu can get something like that?" Old man Xiao asked, and while Old Man Ye was looking up at the sky, he secretly changed the chess pieces on the chessboard, and put it in a situation that was beneficial to himself.
"It's hard to say... If he can really pass the trial of the Ancient Emperor, I naturally can't hide my secrets, and I will give him the "Immortal Breath Transformation Technique" of the Immortal Crane Clan and the only remaining Ancient Emperor Fu of our clan. ”
Old man Xiao gasped and exclaimed, "Have you thought about it?" That's a treasure that can be compared to the supreme immortal. ”
"If he did, then he deserved it." Old Man Ye glanced at Old Man Xiao: "Even someone like you has taught him all the 'Seventeen Seas Sword Seals', how can I hide my secrets." ”
"Where did I pick it? I lost to him above board! Old man Xiao refused to admit it.
"Huh? Why did you secretly change chess again! ”
"How could I!"
", you lied to me last time that I had a ghost behind my back, and then took nine of my sunspots..."
"I don't have ......"
…………
Chu Ziheng did not hesitate at all, stepped into the pillar of light in front of him, and his figure disappeared on the top of the holy mountain in an instant.
The next moment, he felt the heat wave coming from the pavement around him, and his feet were full of desolate red earth, red as blood. There are a few ancient altars scattered around, which appear to be dilapidated, and as the years have passed, they have almost shattered and disappeared, leaving only bricks and tiles, half-buried under the earth.
Chu Ziheng stepped forward, dug out the broken stone and tiles from the sandy soil and carefully identified it, and found that this was actually the five-colored stone that formed the five-color altar, and there were still damaged formations that had faded away.
"There is also a five-color altar here..."Chu Ziheng was shocked.
Behind him was a cliff, and the wind howled through it, making a piercing and ghostly sound that would tear apart even if he flew into it with the strength of his flesh.
He could only move forward, but he felt the heat and heat around him, and finally stepped into a world full of lava.
Billowing black smoke carried dark red magma, lava gushed out in all directions, and a loud rumbling sound pressed down on the surrounding layers, and the burning red rock was pushed into the air and galloped down by the burst of divine power, leaving thousands of fiery red scratches in the air of the smoke curtain.
"Here..."Chu Ziheng stopped, and the world in front of him was like a legendary purgatory.
Suddenly, he swept his peripheral vision to see a figure flash by his side, and he turned his head to see a lone crimson soul floating above the magma.
"Could this be a ghost?" Chu Ziheng felt that this was a bit like the lonely soul of hell in folklore, but there was a fiery and masculine aura all over his body, just like the magma under his feet.
Chu Ziheng didn't dare to be careless, his divine power surged, surrounding him, and once there was any danger, he could explode instantly.
"Who is it...... Into the Crucible? "The eerie mental fluctuations suddenly came from the crimson ghost.
"Haunted!" Chu Ziheng was so shocked that he almost jumped up, and suddenly remembered the female ghost Zhenzi who jumped out of the abyss of the source mine.
"Why did you enter the furnace?" The miserable mental fluctuations came again.
Chu Ziheng calmed down a bit, and after he was not afraid, he looked at the ghost and seemed quite cute... After all, it is also a conscious being that can communicate.
Chu Ziheng responded, "I was teleported in through the trial from outside the Holy Mountain. ”
"Trials ......?"
The ghost suddenly fell silent, knowing it for a long time before speaking.
"A trial left by the gods? No humans have been in for many thousands of years. ”
Chu Ziheng was stunned when he heard this, according to what Old Man Ye said, although there are not many people who have passed the first level to test the Dao Heart, they have accumulated at least dozens of them in the past tens of thousands of years. But according to what this skeleton said, how is it that he is the first human to arrive here in tens of thousands of years?
"Where is this?" Chu Ziheng asked with a puzzled expression.
"As I already said, this is the Furnace ......" the ghost said grimly, "This is the ruins of the Ancient Heavenly Court, which fell and turned into a broken hell, and was later sealed in this small world by a god. ”
A god...... Chu Ziheng felt that what he said should be the Emperor of Chaogu...
But as for the Ancient Heavenly Court... That's what he didn't expect, this lava world came from so big.
Chu Ziheng pondered for a moment and asked, "Then who are you?" ”
A cold rattling sound sounded, and Sen Ran's voice came from the mental fluctuations.
"I am an old yang spirit who has wandered for endless years......"
Chu Ziheng was stunned, he had only heard of Yin Spirit. Yang Ling? What the hell?
The old yang spirit sighed and said slowly: "I fell here with the ancient heavenly court, and turned into a powerful ghost in purgatory, and this is a lava world, so I turned into a yang spirit. ”
After saying that, he began to cry, and the sound of cold sobbing spread throughout the magma world, which was extremely weird......
Chu Ziheng: ???
Let's just say it, why do you still cry at such an old age?
