Chapter 13: The Nine Demon Lotus
When Gu Yun and the others found that the miscellaneous eagle on their heads was gone, they knew that they must have entered the territory of a high-level demon beast, which was even more dangerous. So, they did not dare to go deep, but ran desperately along the edge.
A day later, they ran into a canyon with cliffs on both sides, and their hearts sank to the bottom of the valley at the sight of this.
"What to do" The two glanced at each other, and they both saw the madness in each other's eyes, since there was no way out, they could only fight. Whether it's life or death, I'm afraid this time I can really only resign myself to fate. Of course, they didn't know that the Apocalypse had been with them all along.
In an instant, the two made a decision. Raised his feet and walked towards the canyon, but as soon as he stepped in, he found that he couldn't run the spiritual power, and even the spiritual sea did not move, and he turned around and wanted to go back, but found that there was no way back, and he glanced at each other, so with a nervous mood, while walking, he was vigilant around, for fear that a monster would emerge from nowhere. After several hours, the two of them looked up and saw a line of sky above, and felt that it was almost dark, but the canyon seemed to have no end. This feeling of no movement except for the footsteps of the two suppressed them, and their spirits were extremely tired.
That's it, walking, walking, walking for three days and three nights, it's still the same, the canyon is dark and long, and there is no exit in sight. At this time, the physical strength of the two was on the verge of collapse. There was no pill to recover, and he was injured again when he fled for his life before, and he was under double pressure both mentally and physically. It is very rare to be able to hold on to it until now and not to be crushed! Although they have long been unconscious, they still rely on a perseverance to move forward, and they always firmly believe in their hearts that this is a way of life, and it must be a way of life.
However, it seems that God has played a huge joke on them, and after another five days, they have long since not used to leave, but are crawling, gritting their teeth, crawling little by little, and still not giving up.
Time is passing by...
One day...
Two days...
Three days...
Finally, on the fourth day, their eyes, which had only a slit, saw a little light ahead. Weak, but it ignited their hope. Do your best, with the little strength left, and crawl forward with your life. The little light grew bigger and brighter in their eyes, and finally when they climbed out of the canyon and saw the blue sky, they finally had a smile on their faces, and then they fainted.
Apocalypse was standing beside the two of them at this time, and next to him was an old man in plain clothes with an ordinary chopping axe in his hand
"Xiaoyou, these two disciples, have a tough heart and extraordinary qualifications, and they will definitely not be idle people in the future."
"The two apprentices of the old gentleman are extremely talented, and I am afraid that this corner of the place will not be able to trap the flying dragon."
"If there are still mundane things in the future, I won't continue to bother, and if I have time to come back to drink tea with the old gentleman in the future."
With that, the apocalypse took Gu Yun and the two of them away.
"There is such a demon in the world, I can't see the past and this life clearly, I'm afraid it's a true god" Looking at the apocalypse and leaving, the old man in plain clothes sighed, and then began to split the wood that had not been chopped before.
......
Compared to Gu Yun and the others, that Senior Brother Wu was much more miserable. The group of them chased towards the depths of the mountain range, and it didn't take long for them to fall into endless trouble and fear, which was the territory of a demon king bald eagle, and in the late stage of the Nirvana realm, they had obtained great opportunities and successfully transformed into shapes. It was almost captured by humans and used as a mount before, so it gritted its teeth with hatred for human monks. Now Senior Brother Wu has come to its territory with a group of people, and it is a sheep in the mouth of a tiger.
Apocalypse originally wanted to keep these people for Gu Yun to avenge himself, but with a sweep of his divine sense, he found that he had thought too much, and there were no living people for a long time. However, the apocalypse did not let go of this group of demon beasts, above the refining god realm, the meat taste is better, and they are all taken away, after all, the inventory has to be replenished, and the little girl is growing up to replenish nutrition. Apocalypse thought so.
Apocalypse took the two of them to drive the Flying Shuttle back directly, and in less than a moment they arrived at Yunhuo Peak, and then escaped directly into the ground, and came to the fire magma that gave birth to a little confusion.
It took him a whole night to help Gu Yun and the others reshape their bones. It's not because the two of them are tenacious and can stick to their hearts, so he doesn't have to work hard, there are pills that can make them recover instantly, and he can have as many as he wants.
The two of them had good qualifications, but after this transformation, it will only be more terrifying, especially Gu Yun, the body of the fire spirit, I am afraid that the cultivation in the future will be even more terrifying.
After taking the two of them back to the retreat room reserved for the disciples, he walked towards the old man who had been waiting outside for a long time.
"Old man, where is the little girl? I'll bring her a little friend back," Apocalypse looked at the old man and wondered
"The girl went to play at the bottom of the mountain, and there are more than a dozen children about the same age as her among the disciples recruited this year."
"Don't worry, I personally confirmed, they are all orphans, and their qualifications are not bad"
Hearing the old man say this, Apocalypse was relieved. Don't look at him, he always looks like a kind old man to the little girl, but with a big temper, Ouyang Qingfeng and Lei Yuan have been criticized a lot, and they are afraid of him, the elder Taishang, and the people below. Besides, although the old man's calculation technique failed to deal with the apocalypse, it was only limited to the outlier of the apocalypse!
"I neglected it, I should let her play with the children more," Apocalypse said with a wry smile.
"By the way, those disciples you saved in front of the mountain gate woke up and waited at the top feet," the old man reminded
"The recovery is not bad, let's give them some rewards" As he spoke, he saw Apocalypse take out a soul bead and ingest it into the array eye.
At the moment when the soul bead entered the array, the dozen or so disciples who were meditating and cultivating at the foot of Yunhuo Peak felt a strong pressure coming from the top of the mountain, pressing them to the ground, and some of their faces were buried in the soil.
After a while, he slowly got up one after another and slowly stood up straight. They hadn't figured out what was going on, but Apocalypse had given them the answer.
"If you can reach the top of the mountain within three months, you will be considered qualified," a voice rang in everyone's ears. In the past few days, they have already known the deeds of this ancestor from the mouth of the senior brother who guarded the mountain, and they have long admired it in their hearts.
"Yes, Master!" everyone said respectfully. Then I started to prepare for the climb.
......
"Old man, look at it, you have done a good thing, I am so old, I have become a master" Hearing the answer of everyone under the mountain, Tianqi raised his eyelids at the old man. Shook his head helplessly.
"Ahem... I'll go see the little girl," the old man walked out, pretending to be confused.
The old man originally wanted to ask about the Hundred Sects Alliance, but seeing that the Apocalypse was still as calm as ever, he dispelled the idea. Anyway, the Heavenly Sword Sect now seems to be a tall man, and when the sky falls, he will stand up to it first, and the old man thought 'shamelessly' in his heart.
Apocalypse saw that there was no Xiaobai around, and his sense swept away, and he found that this guy was chasing the little demon beast in the forest, and reminded: "Xiaobai, don't eat all these little demon beasts on the mountain, I plan to keep them to play with the little girl, do you hear?"
"Woo...... Xiao Bai protested a few times, and did not continue to play with those demon beasts, but lay on the stones halfway up the mountain and looked at the group of disciples who were being tested!
......
The little girl was gone, and the top of the mountain became unusually quiet. Sitting alone on that huge flat stone, looking at the colorful sea of clouds in the distance, it is beautiful.
The Heavenly Hell Continent has ended its imperial rule since the Great War in ancient times, and the resources on the continent are controlled by large and small sects and families, and it is difficult for mortals without cultivation qualifications to survive.
Due to that battle, a large number of cultivation exercises were lost, and no monk was able to transcend beyond the continent and go to the endless void to pursue a higher realm. It's like a prison prison where generations of poor people are imprisoned. Fortunately, in addition to closing the portal that can go out, that battle also cut off the starry sky road that can enter, otherwise, I am afraid that this place has already changed owners. The inhabitants of this area are afraid that they will be reduced to slaves for free trade.
It is precisely because of this excellent condition that the Apocalypse was selected as the base camp to fight in the starry sky.
Of course, first he had to conquer this continent and collect the power of faith! Then he would refine the Heavenly Dao and take the first step to conquer the starry sky!
"Now the strength is still too low, it seems that we must improve our strength as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a bit difficult to deal with those hidden old monsters."
"And the trials of those disciples are also going to be intensified, and time is waiting for no one."
Apocalypse thought to herself.
Immediately, the Apocalypse turned the Heavenly Demon Eye, and his gaze penetrated directly through the magma in the heart of the mountain, all the way to the deepest part of the earth.
If such an innate thing as a fire spirit can be born here, it is not only as simple as the fire core magma, but also a very high-level fire deep underground. It's just that the first few times the apocalypse saw a little confusion and was delayed, I didn't have time to take a closer look, but today I can find out.
The spiritual power surged, and disappeared on the top of the mountain in an instant, increasing the speed to the extreme, directly passing through the fire core magma, and now this temperature did not pose the slightest threat to the physical body of the Apocalypse. There was no hindrance to his speed, all the way down, although he didn't see anything strange, but the temperature was slowly rising. It seems that there is a secret hidden underground, but I don't know if it will be a big surprise!?
The Apocalypse Spirit Sea is thick, and it has been running the Heavenly Demon Eye, shuttling underground. Two hours passed, and it was already tens of thousands of miles from the ground, and the apocalypse finally saw the appearance of that thing, a flower more than ten meters high, but its appearance was not bright and bright, but as black as ink, and there was a trace of black gas overflowing from the core of the flower, and there was a purple-black transparent flame on it. The temperature of the flame was so high that the apocalypse could feel its temperature so far away from it at this time.
