CHAPTER XLII

The arrival of the Northern Immortal Maiden and the Prince of the Eastern Wilderness caused a sensation, which also meant that the war of the younger generation was about to officially begin.

In addition, Gong Yiyu also arrived at Qingkong Mountain in a low-key manner and joined his own people.

The three-day rest was soon over, and at dawn on the fourth day, all the monks gathered in the camp of Qingkong Mountain, crowded with people, looking at the cloudless clear sky together.

In mid-air, Ao Guang, Wangshu, and many other Absolute Immortals were juxtaposed, waiting for the moment when the sun had fully risen, when they would open an ancient battlefield with great mana, allowing the young people of the cultivation realm to enter it and compete for the qualification to go to the interior of Qingkong Mountain.

"One last time, I would like to explain to you that this qualification battle is taking place in the stargazing battlefield. The veteran Absolute Immortal said majestically, "We have placed ten crystals in the battlefield, and as long as we get one crystal, we are eligible to participate in the final battle, so there are only ten people at most who can compete for the Imperial Treasure." Of course, the battlefield only lasts for five days, and only those who return after five days and hold the crystal jade are eligible. ”

There was an uproar in the field, there were no less than hundreds of monks present, but there were only ten places, and one can imagine how fierce the battle would have been in these five days.

At this time, the old absolute immortal glanced at the camp and added: "You can choose how to decide the ownership of the crystal jade, of course, you are all good seedlings in the cultivation world, and you are never allowed to kill each other, even if there is a personal vendetta, you will restrain me, otherwise, you will be disqualified!"

Those sects or individuals who had disagreements with each other all looked at each other and did not express any opinions.

At this time, the dawn appeared, and the old absolute immortal said loudly: "Fellow Daoists, you can start the battlefield!" After that, he was the first to form a magic seal and hit a certain position in the sky above Qingkong Mountain. Several other Absolute Immortals also nodded, each forming a different magic seal, hitting in different directions.

The Dharma seal did not disperse, and bloomed with a more dazzling light, and the people watching below suddenly felt dazzling, and unconsciously squinted their eyes.

Suddenly, a tragic killing intent emerged, and everyone seemed to hear the neighing of war horses that had passed through endless years, and then, the sound of Jin Ge's fighting and shouting of killing was terrifying, making many people present unstable, even those monks who had reached the Yuan Infant Stage almost fell to the ground.

As if sensing the strange state of the monks, a clear phoenix roar suddenly sounded, and the sound of the battlefield disappeared in an instant, leaving only the sound of the phoenix chirping, like a heavenly sound into the ears, soothing the shocked hearts of the monks.

The person who spoke was none other than the Great Elder of the Northern Underworld, Wangshu, and as the sound of the battlefield subsided, a huge spatial crack had already appeared in the sky, in which the black mist was surging, and the blood was all over the sky, which was extremely tragic.

After about a quarter of an hour, the old absolute immortal said: "The stargazing battlefield has been stabilized, everyone can enter, remember, you only have five days, find ten crystal jades, and hold on to the last person to be qualified." ”

As the words fell, several strips of Cotai stretched from the crack to the ground, and in an instant, all the eligible monks stepped on the Cotai Avenue one by one and poured into the terrible battlefield.

"Let's go too. Xiyue said to the two beside her. One person is naturally Su Chen after the disguise, and the other person is Long Qingyan. The alliance between the dragon and phoenix clans has long been foreshadowed, and at this time, the Feng Clan Heavenly Maiden and the Dragon Clan Prince came together to confirm this matter.

Su Chen was one step behind Xiyue, wearing a silver mask and wearing the clothes of the Northern Underworld Warrior, and most of the people who paid attention to this side thought that this was the subordinate of the Northern Underworld Heavenly Maiden.

One by one, the figures entered the stargazing battlefield, and after the three of them entered, they quickly moved forward without making any stops, no matter what, they had to find a relatively safe place first and join up with their own people.

Others are basically doing the same.

This battlefield is very vast, and the three of them are looking around while hurrying, and as far as the eye can see, it is all dilapidated, and there are even blood stains that have not dried up, which makes people have bad associations.

"What is the origin of the stargazing battlefield? It feels like it's in another dimension. Long Qingyan frowned and asked, he found a lot of bones that had not decayed, and even corpses.

"The origin of the stargazing battlefield is a long time ago, and I heard that it appeared in the dark ages of the human race. Su Chen said, "But I don't know why it was divided from the land of Kyushu later." ”

"I heard that this battlefield has appeared in different eras, the most recent one seems to be in the era of the Spirit Emperor, when the entire Shenzhou was invaded, and there were tragic battles in different places, and the stargazing battlefield was also one of them. Xiyue added, "Maybe it was because they had endured too much war and fire, blood and bones, so the stargazing battlefield was divided from the earth by the power of the predecessors to avoid the contamination of the earth's ancestral veins." ”

The spiritual veins have been mutated or even destroyed by the contamination of the bloody qi in the land of Shenzhou, and the ancestral veins of the earth are related to the luck of Kyushu and the vitality of thousands of living beings, and they must not be sloppy, so it is understandable that the former sages were able to separate such a battlefield from Kyushu and make it an independent place.

In fact, most of the Jedi and forbidden areas on the Divine Continent were formed for similar reasons, some were still on the land of Shenzhou, and some were isolated.

According to Xiyue's speculation, if the stargazing battlefield is not isolated, then the bloody qi, evil spirit resentment, etc. accumulated on this battlefield is enough to turn the entire battlefield into a forbidden area of life, and the stargazing battlefield is originally located on the Qingzhou spiritual vein, connected to the ancestral vein of Kyushu, and over the years, most of them will endanger the ancestral vein of Kyushu, causing more terrible consequences.

And these strongest young monks who are not in their infancy can safely enter the stargazing battlefield when they pass through the Cotai Avenue, they are blessed by the spells of the immortals, and they already have talisman spells on their bodies, which can resist the impact of the battlefield for a period of time, and five days is the safest time for this spell to take effect, more than five days, the effect of the spell will be weakened, and at that time, the monks will be in danger.

The three of them were on their way to the location they had agreed with their allies.

Suddenly, an incomplete white bone on the side of the road suddenly attacked and killed the nearest Xiyue, Su Chen reacted quickly enough to pull Xiyue away, and the three of them avoided a distance. The white bone used the bone palm as a thorn, this blow missed, and the half of the white bone made a clicking sound, and in the dark eye hole, two points of blood light lit up, and the mouth that was missing a piece was opened, and a whistling sound.

The three of them waited for a while, but saw more and more "click" sounds, one after another skeletons moved, some were relatively intact, some were missing arms and legs, and even some of the skulls were missing half of them, the only thing that was the same was that there were blood-colored spots of light in the depths of their eye sockets.

"These skeletons...... Is it a refinement?" asked Xiyue with a bitter face.

"It can't be controlled by someone anyway, it's like these skeletons have some self-awareness, but they haven't given birth to higher intelligence yet. Su Chen frowned.

"If there really be a skeleton that gives birth to a higher level of wisdom, we will have to escape. Long Qingyan said, "It is said that there is an undead clan in the Western Continent, and one of its branches is all bone frames. ”

"That's the Bone Spirit Clan, it's indeed a branch of the Undead Clan, the clan is all cultivated from bones, and it's not an exaggeration to say that it's a skeleton essence. Su Chen said, "They are already an intelligent race, and they are more than one grade higher than these guys." Moreover, the powerhouses of the Bone Spirit Clan can even create flesh and blood by themselves, which can be said to be not much different from ordinary life. ”

"You still have the leisure to chat!" Xiyue was nervous to death, but the two partners actually chatted, and she didn't know what to say.

"It's okay, we can deal with these skeletons, but don't delay it too long, otherwise more and more undead will converge. Su Chen said with relief.

"I'm afraid of attracting big ones, and no one knows what kind of existence there is on this ancient battlefield. Long Qing said, "Let's quickly break through and get rid of them." ”

"Good. Su Chen and Xiyue nodded.

The movement of the skeleton army was relatively slow, giving them time to communicate, since it was to deal with the undead, Long Qingyan had an innate advantage, after agreeing, he directly spread his wings and turned into a dragon shape, and his huge body surrounded the two friends at the same time, the dragon's tail swept, and in an instant, the dozen or so skeletons in front were scattered, and the power of the sun attached to the dragon's body invaded the bones, and immediately incinerated the incomplete instinctive consciousness of the undead.

Su Chen and Xiyue jumped on Long Qingyan's back, and the wings of the purple gold divine dragon fluttered, and they went away in an instant.

Just as they were leaving, the earth shook, and a huge bony palm suddenly reached out of the ground and pressed against the pile of bones......

Not only Su Chen and the three of them, but also the other monks who entered the battlefield were more or less attacked by the undead, but the people who dared to enter the battlefield were not bad, most of them were out of danger, and some of the monks were attacked and killed by the huge undead creatures that suddenly appeared, and their bodies were not protected, and they were unfortunately killed.

However, the spell cast on them by the Absolute Immortal also worked, preserving the primordial infant and divine soul of these monks, and leading them out of the battlefield quickly, but these people could only withdraw from the battle.

Along the way, the three of them saw many monks besieged by the army of the undead, not only skeletons, but also necromancers, resentful spirits, etc., among which some undead who gave birth to high intelligence. However, most of the monks who entered the battlefield were in groups, and those who were lost were only one-fifth.

"It seems that these five days will have to deal not only with the living, but also with these dead. Su Chen sighed and concluded.

"Ignore all of this for now, and join up with the brigade as soon as possible. Long Qingyan has returned to his human form, after all, it is too ostentatious to rush with the body of a dragon, and Liuyunzhou is their hole card to save their lives, and they cannot be used easily.

"There is a crystal jade in the place of convergence, it seems that you and I have already prepared. Xiyue said.

This is the convenience that the two of them can enjoy, among the people who make decisions are their own parents, for the benefit and future of their own clan, they don't mind cheating, but the dragon and phoenix clans just revealed the same position to their own young people, which can be regarded as leaving one more chance for others.

After all, the Dragon Clan and the Ice Phoenix Clan have been friends for generations, and as early as when the Strange Treasure appeared, the high-level leaders of the two sides had already reached some kind of consensus.

On the way, the trio encountered several more attacks from the undead, and all of them survived without danger. As for the other competitors, there will be no disputes for the time being until Jingyu appears.

It took them more than half a day, and they finally arrived at the agreed place.

This is a relatively safe place, and there are already four people who have set up a defensive formation here, two men and two women, in the same formation, waiting for Xiyue and Long Qingyan.

"Boss, this way!" One of the men had sharp eyes, saw Long Qingyan, and hurriedly greeted.

"Sister Tiannu is also here. The two women also saw Xiyue and smiled.

Among the two men, one of them has red hair like fire, a pair of dragon horns in his hair like red jade coral, heroic between his eyebrows and eyes, wearing a fiery red armor, and he is heroic; the other man is wearing a green shirt, holding a folding fan in his hand, his eyebrows are warm, he is graceful, his hair is the color of green and blue, and there is a pair of cyan dragon horns; and the two women of the North Underworld are a pair of twins, their appearance and clothing are the same, they are all blue feather coats, snow-white hair, even the eyes are silver-white, only from the appearance can not tell the race。

"You guys, when I'm not there, one by one actually entered the Yuan Infant Period. Long Qingyan squinted at the two good brothers and said crookedly.

"Boss, we entered the Dao cultivation earlier than you, it's normal to cultivate higher than you!" said the red-haired dragon man with a grin, he was Hua Ye from the Red Dragon Clan, one of the great-grandsons of the contemporary Red Dragon King.

"Qingyan, you have to work harder. The man in the green shirt shook the folding fan in his hand and said slowly. He is the great-grandson of the Qinglong King, named Qing Ji, and the lover of Long Qingyan's childhood sweetheart is a brother and sister of the same mother, to some extent, Qing Ji is Long Qingyan's eldest brother.

Long Qing was speechless, these two people were older than him in terms of age, and their cultivation was earlier than him, as for why Hua Ye called him the boss, there was naturally a reason. Therefore, it is normal for Qing Ji and Hua Ye to cultivate higher than him, and it is already amazing to be able to cultivate into the God Refining Stage in eighteen years.

In fact, if the three of them continue to stay in the Bamboo Sword Valley and concentrate on cultivation, they will definitely be able to enter the Yuan Infant Stage in the shortest possible time, on the one hand, the environment of the Bamboo Sword Valley is particularly suitable for cultivation, and on the other hand, the talent of the trio is really strong, otherwise they would not be able to break through the Golden Pill Stage and cultivate into the Divine Refining Stage in just two years.

On the other side, the twin sisters were also greeting Xiyue.

The sisters are from a non-human race attached to the North Underworld, the body of the clan is a bird called the Snow Luan Bird, since the creation of the North Underworld City, the Snow Luan Bird Clan has followed the North Stygian Ice Phoenix, legend has it that the ancestor of the Snow Luan Bird Clan is the daughter of the second North Stygian Girl, the first Northern Underworld Celestial Girl gave up power and chose to marry, gave birth to two daughters, and the bloodline of the youngest daughter has mutated, becoming another mythical bird different from the Ice Phoenix. Later, the husband of the Heavenly Maiden fell unexpectedly when he was impacting a higher realm, and the elders of the clan took her and a pair of daughters back to the North Underworld. The eldest daughter is a pure-blooded ice phoenix, who was chosen as the next celestial maiden under the instructions of the prophecy, and the younger daughter also stayed in the North Underworld, and later derived the Snow Luan Bird Clan.

And these two sisters, the elder sister is named Xue Fang, and the younger sister is named Xue Fei, who grew up in Beiming since childhood, and is older than Xiyue, and has accompanied Xiyue to practice and play when they were young, and they have a very close relationship.

After greetings, the sisters asked about Su Chen's identity and origin, and the three of them from the Dragon Clan also gathered around, and Qing Ji and Hua Ye were also curious.

Xiyue told the truth, which surprised the other four people for a while, and they all knew about Su Chen, but they really didn't expect that the key to winning the treasure this time was actually the "wanted criminal" of Daowu Palace. Because when the Heavenly Maiden and the crown prince consulted with the clan before, they only told the trusted elders the true situation, and the elders of the two clans did not explain this to the four of Qing Ji, but only told them to fully support Xiyue and Long Qingyan, as well as the key people who walked with them.

"Dare to ask Brother Su, is what Daowu Palace said true or false?" asked Qing Ji solemnly.

Su Chen revealed his true face and said calmly: "That depends on what Li Chungang says to the outside world." If he said that he killed his teacher's family, it is naturally false. I know this, and Her Royal Highness the Celestial Maiden and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have chosen to believe me. ”

Xiyue said: "There is a deep secret in this matter, there is no time to elaborate here, the four of you only need to trust Su Chen, and keep it secret for him, the grievances on his body have not been washed away, if it is exposed, it will be very troublesome, and it will affect our operation this time." ”

"I'll tell you two the details. Long Qingyan said to the two close friends, "This is the case, I will go back to Donghuang to deal with some things, and explain everything to you when the time comes." ”

Hua Ye and Qing Ji groaned slightly, and nodded at the same time.

On the other side, Xiyue also communicated with Xuefang Xuefei, because Su Chen would go to the North Hell together at that time, and he would have more time to learn more.

Su Chen sighed, but also felt a sense of relief, this time they are going to join forces, I am afraid that they will not be able to trust each other in the process of cooperation, and it is naturally a good thing to be able to solve some possible contradictions in advance.

"By the way, have you ever seen anyone from the Hall of Eternal Life?" Long Qingyan suddenly asked.

"What is the situation in the Hall of Eternal Life?" Hua Ye asked puzzled.

"We have also talked with Gong Yiyu, this time for the competition for different treasures, the Northern Underworld, the Eastern Wilderness will join forces with the Palace of Eternal Life, and there will be more strength and a guarantee. Xiyue explained.

"Wow!Gong Yiyu!" Hua Ye was shocked, and then his face was happy, "I've admired her for a long time! This time I finally have the opportunity to get close to the goddess in my mind!"

Xuefang Xuefei covered her mouth and chuckled, Qing Ji shook her head as if she hated it, and said: "Hua Ye, we all understand the pain of being single so far, but you have to pay attention to your image, if the palace girl is somewhere at the moment, she happens to see you......"

Hua Ye's face changed, he looked around nervously, and then angrily scolded Qing Ji: "You Sven scum, don't think I don't know your dirty thoughts, haven't you also coveted the beauty of Gong Yiyu for a long time?"

Qing Ji shook the folding fan indifferently, raised his head, and said: "I heard that the palace girl is unparalleled, and I admire it very much, and I hope that one day I can discuss the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting with the beautiful woman, and enjoy the wind and snow together." ”

Long Qingyan patted him on the shoulder and said ruthlessly: "Okay, your father went to the Palace of Eternal Life two years ago to propose marriage for you, but people don't look down on you at all, Hua Ye and I both know this, so don't pretend." ”

Qing Ji was shocked: "What? You know it too?"

Long Qingyan looked at Xiyue, Su Chen, and Xuefang Xuefei, and said with pity: "Now there are four more people." ”

Qing Ji collapsed instantly, and looked up to the sky and shouted: "God! I'll be killed by a headfirst crash!"

Everyone laughed, and it was quite faceless to be rejected when he came to propose marriage, especially Qing Ji is still the great-grandson of the Qinglong King, and his status is prominent.

"I don't blame Miss Gong, if you want me to marry someone I don't know or even meet, I don't want to. Xiyue smiled.

"And what if you miss a peerless good husband?" asked Qing Ji angrily.

"No matter how peerless it is, can there be a peerless palace in this palace?" said Xiyue proudly.
