Chapter 399: Dragon Gate
Between the green mountains and green waters, a line of fire flew through the air and galloped towards the south. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At the front of the line of fire is Xiang Hong, who traveled day and night after leaving the Huoqing Palace, and it took nearly a year to finally get out of the Northern Desert region and enter the rich Zhongzhou area.
Along the way, passing through several towns, Xiang Hong also inquired about some information about the Gu Immortal Era through various means.
Since the creation of the ancient gods, the heavens are round, and this land stretches for millions of miles, and it is boundless.
In the process of inquiring about the news, someone once mentioned to Xiang Hong that at the edge of the world, there is a "barrier", but no one can say clearly what this barrier looks like.
Under the Heavenly Court, there are four heavenly palaces, which are in charge of the four directions of the southeast, south, and northwest, but the heavenly rules stipulate that the heavenly court shall not interfere in mortal things, as long as ordinary people and monks do not violate the power of heaven, they are not subject to the jurisdiction of the heavenly court.
Jade Pillar Heavenly City is the only city of Heavenly Court in the mortal world, where the resources of the entire continent are gathered, and the giant ships of Heavenly Court are produced here.
Heavenly Court, in the mouths of mortal people, is a high-ranking and indisobedient existence. What you can probably hear is the Sifang Heavenly Palace, the thirty-three heavens, these words and words.
What kind of existence Heavenly Court really is, only after arriving at the Jade Pillar Heavenly City, can we truly know.
Xiang Hongjie's cultivation in the Dan Realm, coupled with the assistance of Jinghongyi, escaped thousands of miles a day, and after more than a month, he finally arrived in the hinterland of Zhongzhou.
On the vast plain, you can see a huge city in the distance, like a black beast, quietly lurking in the field.
It was a city of pure black, because the entire city's façade was made of thick steel armor, towering over a hundred meters and unbreakable.
Beyond the high protective walls, you can see a large number of steel spires, scattered throughout the celestial city.
From a distance, at this moment, a giant battleship was slowly rising from the heavenly city and flying into the air, a giant battleship with a length of thousands of meters, compared to this giant city at this moment, it looked like a small toy.
Xiang Hong had seen the huge warships of the Heavenly Court more than once, and he already had a certain understanding of the scientific and technological level of this era.
But suddenly seeing this steel giant city covering an area of hundreds of miles, Xiang Hong was still extremely shocked.
Xiang Hong traveled all the way from the Northern Desert to Zhongzhou, and what he saw and heard on the road was a very primitive farming society.
Although it was a huge blow to human civilization, the whole society regressed to such a point, I am afraid that it was mainly due to the heavenly rule that "science and technology must not be passed on to the world".
"Technology must not be spread in the world...... Xiang Hong shook his head and said to himself: "Don't let the mortal world use technology, I am full of science and technology!" ”
Then he sped up and galloped towards the steel city in the wilderness.
At the top of the steel wall of the Heavenly City, there were a large number of giant Lingzi heavy cannons, and there were a large number of golden lights flying back and forth in the air around them.
Xiang Hong continued to move forward, but was stopped in mid-air by a golden-armored heavenly soldier shortly after.
"The Heavenly City is surrounded by forbidden places, and the monks of the Nether Realm are not allowed to approach at will, and report their intentions!" Heavenly Soldier looked at Xiang Hong who was coming and asked.
Xiang Hong smiled, arched his hand and said, "I am a monk of the Qing Palace of the Northern Desert Camel, and I have come to participate in the Dragon Gate Meeting. ”
"It's a coincidence that you're here, and the dragon gate will be closed in three days." The golden-armored heavenly soldier didn't ask much, and said directly: "Gather in the square under the city wall over there, and someone will take you into the heavenly city at noon." ”
"Thank you." Xiang Hong replied with a smile, he looked in the direction pointed by the heavenly soldiers, and sure enough, in a clearing under the city wall, there were already some people standing sparsely.
Xiang Hong landed on the side of the crowd, and before he could take a step, he suddenly frowned, and felt an extremely cold gaze staring at him.
Xiang Hong looked up, and among the group of monks, there was a young man standing alone on one side, looking particularly unsociable.
Xiang Hong was stunned for a moment, this is a demon clan monk!
This young demon clan was dressed in coarse cloth clothes, with a circle of animal skins tied around his waist, a pair of erect ears, and a cold face, after glancing at Xiang Hong, he turned his head to look in other directions, as if he had no interest in Xiang Hong.
It seems that this demon clan itself is extremely murderous, not particularly aimed at Xiang Hong, Xiang Hong glanced at him again, then stepped into the crowd and looked around.
There were some other demon clan monks standing in the crowd, and the two clans coexisted peacefully, which surprised Xiang Hong a little.
I don't know how long later, with a loud roar, a huge entrance slowly opened on the steel wall behind everyone.
A team of ten golden-armored monks flew out of it, led by a celestial general.
The golden-armored heavenly general glanced at the dozens of monks below, and shouted loudly, "Take out the immortal ascension orders you carry, and I'll verify them one by one." ”
The monks in the square took out their jade plaques one after another, and Xiang Hong also took out the jade plaque from his arms.
The Golden Armor Heavenly General fell in front of everyone, and scanned the jade plaques in everyone's hands with a device on his arm armor, confirming that every immortal ascension order was genuine, and then nodded.
"You follow me into the Heavenly City and conduct the Dragon Gate Test!" The Golden Armor Heavenly General shouted, and then rose into the sky and flew towards the passage with the group of Heavenly Soldiers.
Including Xiang Hong, these thirty or so monks rose into the air, followed behind this group of golden-armored monks, and flew into the huge entrance in front of them.
After moving forward for dozens of meters, the front suddenly opened up, and everyone had crossed the steel wall and came to the Heavenly City.
Xiang Hong raised his eyes and looked around, and the steel giants that reached into the sky were densely scattered all over the heavenly city, like a huge steel jungle, and countless shuttle aircraft and gold-armored monks flew back and forth in the skyscrapers, which was dazzling.
The architectural style of this celestial city is somewhat similar to that of the metropolis of the Genesis Yuan era, but the sense of technology is much more than that.
It is a veritable capital of steel machinery.
"You are right behind me, if you strayed into the restricted area, you can only consider yourself unlucky!" The Golden Armor General shouted ahead, and then accelerated and flew towards a huge steel building in front of him.
Everyone hurriedly followed, Xiang Hong observed the surroundings in the crowd, and found that among the heavenly soldiers flying in the air around, there were also faces of the demon clan.
It seems that there is indeed a demon clan in the heavenly court, and the proportion among the heavenly soldiers is not low, this era is different from the Shengxian era, and the human and demon clans seem to be able to coexist peacefully.
While thinking about it, Xiang Hong and the other monks had already followed the Jinjia Heavenly General into the huge mansion in front of him, and the Jinjia Heavenly General led the group of people to a hall and said to everyone.
"Register you here, and then send you to the Dragon Gate, as for whether you can cross the Dragon Gate, it depends on your respective chances!"
Xiang Hong whispered to a monk next to him in the crowd, "Fellow Daoist, what is this Dragon Gate Test?" ”
The monk on the side glanced at Xiang Hong, and said with a slightly disdainful expression: "The Dragon Gate is a different space opened up by Heavenly Court for test monks, and there are a large number of Void Spirit Beasts in it, and it is said that after killing a sufficient number of Void Spirit Beasts, you can obtain the qualification to cross the Dragon Gate. ”
"Thank you." Xiang Hong nodded, if he just collected and fought with the Void Spirit Beast, it would be no problem for him at all.
