Trial 17: The Land of Trial

We can't see that the eight black dragons that are flying with their teeth and claws can shake the Great Luo Heaven and pierce the Nine Heavens Land, but we can imagine how big the glazed exquisite tower is, and even the deafening dragon groans have become thin above our heads.

It took us a long time to calm the shock in our hearts, the platform we were standing on was just connected to the base of the glazed tower, we walked along the only stone platform in the sea of fire to the glazed tower, all around us were overwhelming waves of fire, rolling up the scorching hot wind that continued to erode our bodies, we walked cautiously, if there was a little mistake in the fall into the sea of fire, the consequences were self-evident.

When we walked to the bottom of the glazed tower, the huge tower door was closed, and we did not see the couplet on the left and right, but instead there were two statues with hideous faces and swords in their hands, standing left and right, looking even more majestic and terrifying.

Suddenly, Yun Duruo pulled the corner of my clothes, and her finger pointed not far ahead, and we couldn't look past her fingers, and an old man in a black robe and white beard walked towards us, holding an incense tray in his hand, on which was a circle of incense that had not yet been lit.

We never thought that we would see people here, not to mention that this glass tower rises from the sea of fire, who can be safe and sound in the sea of fire.

"Everyone be careful, Master Ye told the glazed Linglong Tower that there are many fierce ones, since we have seen the real tower, we must encounter the test from now on." He said to us in a calm and low voice.

The old man's steps were light and ethereal, and when he approached us, we were all on guard, no matter who appeared here was extraordinary, and we didn't dare to take it lightly, we were going to wait and see what was going to happen with the static brake, but before we could react, the old man knelt down in front of us with his legs bent.

"The tower keeper greets the holy driver."

The old man bowed his head respectfully, and the sudden change caught us off guard, everyone looked at me together, I took a deep breath and looked at the old man kneeling on the ground and asked in surprise.

"You...... Do you recognize me? ”

"The Emperor of the Underworld himself, how can the Underworld not know it." The old man's voice was as high-pitched and powerful as a bell.

I have begun to believe and accept the fact that I am the reincarnation of the Hades Emperor, I remember Ye Qingyu told us that the Glazed Linglong Pagoda is one of the Seven Treasures of the Underworld, which was built by the Hades Emperor himself, and the origin of this tower must have some relationship with me.

"Start...... Get up and speak. "Since this tower is what I once built, it is understandable to stay here to guard the tower to know me, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other to defeat, although we came here Ye whispered only to tell a lot of dangers, but we don't know how dangerous it is, since the old man in front of him is the tower guard, it is better to ask about the situation of this glazed tower than to mess around.

"What is the origin of this tower?" I asked.

"The Glass Exquisite Tower is one of the Seven Treasures of the Underworld, also known as the Trials of the Underworld, which was refined by the Emperor of the Underworld with the Flame of the Underworld, and is stored in the sea of fire in the Underworld as the pillar of the Underworld, and this tower gathers boundless mana." The old man replied fluently.

"Trials Tower?" I frowned, although I was the reincarnation of the Hades Emperor, but after all, I was not the real Hades Emperor, and I couldn't remember any of these things at all. "What is this tower for?"

"The ancient gods and demons have returned to the Netherworld, and those who can retreat after passing the trials of this tower are eligible to be vassals in the underworld."

"A trial tower for the ancient gods and demons?!" Han Yu looked at us dumbfounded, and then asked the old man in surprise. "Those who have been tried and tested can be vassals in the underworld, then...... So what if you don't go through? ”

"The glazed exquisite tower is immeasurable, and the eternal times are scorched by the flames of the underworld, if the gods and demons who cannot enter through the trial will fall into it forever, and they will suffer from the sea of fire forever."

I subconsciously licked my lips, this tower was originally reserved for the trials of ancient gods and demons, how powerful its mana is can be imagined, no wonder Ye Qingyu will repeatedly admonish, I can now somewhat understand why she immediately refused when she heard that Han Yu wanted to borrow Yugui.

It's not that Ye Qingyu doesn't want to hand over Yugui to Han Yu, it's that she knows very well how dangerous we will be once we come here, Ye Qingyu and Lu Qingmei don't dare to enter this place, how can the Dao and mana of our people be compared to the ancient gods and demons.

What's more, even the ancient gods and demons can't break through this glazed exquisite tower, and we must not even have the slightest chance.

"Since it is one of the Seven Treasures of the Underworld, it is used to test the ancient gods and demons, then...... Then why is the Heavenly Relic Jade Gui sealed on the top of the Glazed Linglong Tower? Gu Xiaoxiao asked suspiciously.

"The life and death of all beings in the realm of the underworld, from the Da Luo Jin Immortal to the mortal world, one day will go to the Netherworld to listen to the judgment, the glazed Linglong Pagoda was originally used to test the gods and demons, but after the ancient gods and demons war, this tower has been stored in the Netherworld."

The old man stood up from the ground, still holding the incense plate with one hand, bowing his head and telling us with respect that the Emperor of the Underworld transcended the six realms of the realm, and he didn't ask about the affairs of the realm, but all the immortals in the god realm have experienced all kinds of disasters when they become gods, in order to once ascend to the immortal class and transcend life and death.

But Hongmeng was originally divided into all beings in the time realm, but the immortals in the heavenly realm lived a life of pleasure, and the life span was long, taking the shortest four kings as an example, it was fifty years old in the world for one day and night, and it was estimated that they could live five years old.

And in this kind of living pleasure of living for a long time without birth, old age, sickness, death, seven emotions and six desires, sentient beings in the heavenly realm are very easy to have upside-down thoughts of normality, happiness, self, and purity, so once they reach the realm of the five decays of heaven and man, it is very difficult for those who do not feel resentment, and it is very difficult not to fall into the evil path.

Therefore, among the six realms, it is true that the Heavenly Dao only has happiness and no suffering, but the suffering after the happiness is exhausted is also difficult for the heavenly beings who have not practiced to bear.

"In order to balance the realm and prevent the beings in the heavenly realm from re-entering reincarnation and falling into the path of demons, the Emperor of the Underworld sealed the most important jade gui after the reincarnation of the heavenly immortals on the top of the glazed Linglong Pagoda." The old man bowed his head and spoke to us. "Take this as a warning to warn all beings in the Heavenly Dao to become human beings in the next life and not forget the way of cultivation."

"So, if you want to return to the Heavenly Realm again, you must go through the trial of this glazed exquisite tower?" Seriously asked.

"Exactly!" The old man nodded in reply.

We look at this where is the test, it is obviously reserved for the ancient gods and demons and the beings of the Heavenly Dao, of course we know in our hearts a few catties and a few taels, how can we go through the glazed Linglong Tower.

"You know me?" I looked down and asked meaningfully.

"The Emperor of the Underworld, how dare your subordinates not know it." The old man's head was buried even lower.

"Since you know me, this is easy to do." I watched as the corners of the old man's mouth slowly curled. "You also said that I am the Emperor of Hades, and you claim to be a minister of Hades, counting me as your minister, do you have to listen to what I say?"

Wow!

The old man didn't say a word, and knelt down in front of me again.

"How dare the ministers of the Emperor of the Underworld be perfunctory, in the past, the Emperor of the Underworld ordered his ministers to guard the Underworld Tower, and the ministers did not dare to make the slightest mistake, the Emperor of the Underworld has a life, but if all sentient beings who re-enter the Six Realms come here to take the jade Gui, they will personally climb the tower to test, and the violators will fall into the Stygian Sea and suffer forever, and the Immortal Emperor's decree and ministers will not forget it in their hearts."

I chuckled in my heart, the smile that had just been raised froze on my face, this old man kept saying that I was the emperor of the underworld, but people are not stupid, I asked him before that since he recognized me as the emperor of the underworld, I am the king and his minister, and he must obey the words of the emperor of the underworld.

If he nodded and replied yes, then this matter will be easy to do, since I am the reincarnation of the Emperor of the Underworld, I ordered him to go to the top of the tower to fetch the jade gui and hand it to me, but this old man clearly heard the meaning of my words, and his answer was that the head of the road is not leaky, although he did not say it explicitly, but how could I not hear the sound outside the strings.

If I am the Emperor of the Hades, this glass exquisite tower is cast by my own hands, of course, I can come and go freely, in the past, the Emperor of the Hades ordered him to guard this tower, but all the beings of the six realms must enter the tower to test to obtain the jade gui, I am now just the reincarnation of the Emperor of the Hades, and I must also go through the trials when I come here in the six realms.

This old man's answer is flawless, even if I am the Emperor of the Underworld, he not only obeys the order of guarding the tower, but also does not violate the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, but I was speechless for a while by his answer, to put it simply, no matter how much you want to take Yugui, you must enter the tower and pass the test yourself.

"What are the trials in this glass tower?" It should also be a comprehension of the meaning of the old man's words, and it seems impossible to take advantage of it.

"This tower has a total of seven layers, which means that it is a seven-level floating slaughter, each layer has a different trial, the higher it goes, the more difficult and dangerous it is, once you enter it, if you can't get Yugui, you will be trapped in the tower forever." As he spoke, the old man lit the incense in the incense tray he was holding.

"That's not right, you just said that the tower keeper means that there are a total of people guarding this tower, who else besides you?" Yun Duruo suddenly asked curiously.

"I am the envoy, responsible for leading the Heavenly Dao beings who come here into the tower, and the other two are the dragon envoy and the turtle envoy respectively."

"The Dragon Commander and the Turtle Commander ......," Gu Xiaoxiao asked in surprise. Where are they? ”

"The Immortal Commander Controls the Dragon!"

"The Immortal Commander Turtle Envoy!"

As soon as Gu Xiaoxiao's voice fell, suddenly a loud sound like thunder came from the side of the glazed Linglong Tower, and then we were stunned to see two behemoths standing in front of us on one knee.

It was a statue standing on the left and right sides of the entrance of the giant tower, in fact, we always thought it was a statue, after all, no one expected such a huge giant with a sword in both hands to be able to speak.

"Welcome to the Immortal Emperor." The two behemoths kneeling left and right said in unison, and their voices echoed in this endless world for a long time.

"You are an envoy, and you are here to guide the beings of the Heavenly Dao who have come here." I frowned, pointed to the two giants kneeling in front of me, and asked in surprise. "That'...... What are these dragon and turtle envoys doing? ”

"The glazed Linglong Pagoda is sealed in the Stygian Sea, if the Heavenly Dao beings come here to comprehend the mysteries, the Dragon Commander will drive the eight black dragons to carry the Glazed Exquisite Pagoda to rise from the Stygian Sea, and the Turtle Commander will drive the Turtle to lift the Glazed Exquisite Pagoda and float up to the Stygian Sea." The envoy said to me unhurriedly.

As soon as we heard it, it suddenly dawned on us, it turned out that the eight black dragons we saw before were driven by the dragon to soar into the sky, thinking of this, I looked at the foundation of the glazed tower, but because we are small, it is not a cause to mention that we may not be able to think, squatting on the ground and taking a closer look is not a stone at all, but a tortoise shell!

The reason why the glazed Linglong Pagoda can be suspended in the Stygian Sea is entirely because there is a giant dragon flying in the sky, and there is a Giant Tortoise Pagoda below, and we are now standing on the back of the giant tortoise, but this giant tortoise is so big that we can't see the whole picture of the giant tortoise at all.

"In addition to showing the glazed Linglong Tower, the two envoys of the dragon and the turtle have another role." The old man still said casually.

"What does it do?" I asked.

"The trial of the glazed Linglong Pagoda is harsh, but whoever enters the tower immortals, gods and demons, even if they get Yugui but don't come out at the specified hour." The voice became a little grim. "Even if things can't pass the trial, the Dragon Rider will order the eight flying dragons to descend, and the Turtle Commander will drive the Giant Tortoise to carry the glazed Linglong Pagoda and sink again into the Stygian Sea, and all beings trapped in the tower will be wiped out in the Stygian Sea."

"Hours?!" Han Yu and we were taken aback, we never expected that there would be a time limit for entering the Glazed Linglong Tower. "How many hours will the Glass Exquisite Tower sink into the Stygian Sea again?"

"It's been counting since the time you came here." The envoy did not hurry to hold up the incense plate in his hand and replied calmly. "When the hour of this plate of incense burns embers, we will not dare to send the pool to the decree of the Emperor of the Underworld, and then the glazed Linglong Pagoda will sink into the Stygian Sea again."
