Chapter 49: The Mountain World
Finally, the dust has settled on the qualification battle, and the final ten candidates have also been decided.
For some reason, the 10 candidates were not made public, and all of them had three days to recuperate before the final contest took place.
Su Chen went to the camp of the Ice Phoenix Clan with Xiyue, and when he left, he saw a person unexpectedly, and Su Chen almost rioted on the spot......
Li Chungang!
Qin Yilong actually didn't get the crystal jade, which was very surprising, and Li Chungang was walking with him and was listening to him talk about his experience in the past five days. However, Qin Yilong did not show any regrets, and he was also very serious when talking to Li Chungang.
Su Chen, who was walking with Xiyue, just accidentally saw Li Chungang, and suddenly couldn't move, and the killing intent emanating from his body was almost undisguised, which made Xiyue startled.
When it came to Li Chungang's realm, even if it was unintentional, he was very sensitive to the breath of outsiders, and at the moment when Su Chen's killing intent surged, a pair of cold eyes stared at him!
Su Chen snorted, felt a tingling in his eyes, and couldn't help but take a few steps back, and when he fixed his body, Li Chungang had already come to him, and was looking at Su Chen in disguise with doubts.
"Master Li, what's going on?" Great Elder Wangshu appeared in time, blocking between Li Chungang and Su Chen, and asked calmly.
"Why is this little friend full of murderous intent towards me?" Li Chungang asked bluntly, hoping that Elder Shu was in front of him, and he would not be able to continue to probe Su Chen.
"Oh, there is such a thing?" Wangshu glanced back at Su Chen, and then said, "Is there a mistake in the master, this is a friend of the heavenly daughter of my clan, you should not know the master, how can he have murderous thoughts against you?"
"Can you let me have a few words with this little friend?" asked Li Chungang.
"The real person in charge has misunderstood, but during the stargazing battlefield, I had a little conflict with Senior Brother Qin Yilong, and this friend of mine may only be targeting Senior Brother Qin, but you happen to be walking with Senior Brother Qin, so I mistakenly thought it was aimed at you. Xiyue stood behind Wangshu and said. At this time, she was appeasing Su Chen, and in order to avoid being detected by Li Chungang, she could only throw the pot to Qin Yilong first.
"Her Royal Highness the Celestial Maiden, can you tell me the details?" Li Chungang asked with a slight squint, and at the same time summoned Qin Yilong and asked him as well.
Qin Yilong was also really depressed when he first heard what Li Chungang said, but he immediately understood the clue of the matter, so he had to say with a bitter face: "Uncle Shi doesn't know, I saw this brother Tai walking with the Heavenly Maiden before, and once suspected that he was a traitor Su Chen, and later kidnapped him in the duel to verify it, but the result was that I was mistaken, I guess this brother Tai is dissatisfied with me because of this." ”
Elder Wangshu chuckled and said, "Yilong's move is indeed reckless, but it is also his heart for the deceased, which is understandable. Fellow Daoist, let's just reveal this matter, there is no need to make more complications. ”
Li Chungang frowned, this is really a misunderstanding that can be explained? However, Elder Wangshu was here, he really couldn't delve into it, so he had to offend him, and then took Qin Yilong away.
After Li Chungang walked away, Elder Wangshu faced Su Chen and said indifferently: "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, you almost hurt yourself this time." ”
Su Chen's mood had calmed down, he didn't say a word just now, it was he working with Xiyue to suppress the demons in his heart, at first glance he saw the real enemy, Su Chen's emotions were almost out of control, and he couldn't suppress the demons in his heart, and even the spiritual magic that Dugu Zhu set in his body almost failed. While Li Chungang and the others were talking, he had actually been hovering on the verge of losing control, and Xiyue had a heart-to-heart connection with him in time to help him suppress the demonization.
Li Chungang left, and Su Chen was normal.
Listening to Elder Wangshu's words, Su Chen said apologetically, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. ”
Elder Wangshu didn't delve into the matter, just nodded to him, and then left first, Xiyue said dissatisfiedly: "I can understand your feelings, but you also have to restrain a little." ”
Su Chen lowered his head and whispered, "Well, I know." ”
Xiyue sighed and said softly, "Let's go, I want to eat something." After speaking, he took the initiative to take Su Chen's hand and walked towards the camp of the Ice Phoenix Clan.
Not far away, Gong Yiyu accidentally saw this scene, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
The camp of the Ice Phoenix Clan, exclusive to Xiyue's tent, was full of fragrance, which surprised people passing by, but all the members of the Ice Phoenix Clan here knew that this was the camp of Her Royal Highness the Heavenly Maiden, so no one went to visit the situation.
Just because they won't doesn't mean others won't.
There was a fire burning in the center of the tent, Su Chen was grilling fish for Xiyue, the ghost knows where this fish came from, anyway, when Xiyue took out five fish from the tent, it directly shocked Su Chen.
The two had already learned that after they were separated, the two sisters Xuefang Xuefei unfortunately encountered the strongest among the undead creatures, and in desperation, they could only leave the stargazing battlefield in advance with the help of the rune given by Elder Wangshu, and at this time the two of them were also called by Xiyue to grill fish and eat together.
Just after the aroma of grilled fish wafted out, three acquaintances came - Long Qingyan, Hua Ye and Qing Ji, who were originally here to care about the Xuefang sisters, but they smelled the aroma of grilled fish and came over directly.
Five fish, seven people, a bit not enough, Xiyue fiercely monopolized one, Su Chen simply gave up, Xue Fang and Xue Fei shared a fish, this is enough.
"Hmph, you guys will directly snatch a fish from me, think about how to change me!" Xiyue glared at Long Qingyan and said with extreme dissatisfaction.
"Go, go, you're a girl's family, aren't you afraid of gaining weight after eating so much, I'm here to help you maintain your figure and share the pain, understand?" Long Qingyan rolled his eyes and said indifferently.
"Who wants you to share the burden!You shameless four-legged snake!Spit it out to the old lady!" Xiyue said angrily.
"Okay!" Long Qingyan was about to vomit on Xiyue's body, but Xiyue avoided him in disgust and rewarded him, but Long Qingyan deftly dodged, giggling and causing Xiyue to grit her teeth!
There was a joyous atmosphere in the big tent.
In the end, Long Qingyan and the three of them were driven out by Xiyue, and said that Long Qingyan and Wang Wangwang were not welcome, Long Qingyan was thick-skinned, and made a grimace at Xiyue before leaving, so angry that Xiyue grabbed a huge stone on the side of the road and smashed it, and Long Qingyan and the three hurriedly ran away.
Some of the people who saw it looked at each other, and some pointed and pointed, and they were glared at by Xiyue, and then dispersed in embarrassment.
The three days passed in a flash, but in some parts of Qingkong Mountain, these three days were not peaceful, and some dirty things happened, and most people didn't know about it.
Finally, it was time for the final competition.
Countless monks gathered in the open space in the center of the camp and waited, also expecting, wondering who had obtained the final qualification to compete for the Imperial Treasure.
Several peerless immortal-level powerhouses appeared in the air, and the oldest peerless immortal came to front of everyone, calmly scanning these monks from all over the world, and after a while, he said loudly: "The ten competitors have already decided to come out, and the person who holds the crystal jade has come forward!"
In the camp of the Ice Phoenix Clan, Xiyue whispered to Su Chen, "You must protect yourself." ”
Su Chen nodded and stepped forward, Xiyue's expression was solemn, her heart was full of worry, this time she couldn't go with Su Chen, she could only answer on the periphery, God knows what happened inside Qingkong Mountain. In particular, she remembered the dream she had before for no reason, and the dream about Su Chen's death was even more panicked.
Ten contenders finally came to everyone's eyes, in addition to Su Chen and Shang Weiyun, there were also Duanmu Jingrong and Yuankong Monk, and the other six people were from different power camps, all of whom had backers. The cultivation of these ten people is uneven, the lowest is Su Chen, but in the refining period, the strongest is the Yuankong monk, who is already the Yuanying Intermediate Great Perfection, and is only one step away from the Yuanying High-level monk.
"Very good, a good seedling. The veteran peerless immortal nodded, and said indifferently, "The Imperial Treasure will not harm low-level cultivators, this is the conclusion we have come to after a few verifications. You will enter the small world in the Blue Sky Mountain, which is built by the Emperor's Treasure and is not under our control, so everything after entering the small world can only be controlled by you, whether it is life or death, each has a destiny ......."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they were not in the control of the Absolute Immortals, which meant that once something happened, even if the few Absolute Immortals present had the heart to save them, they could not do anything, and if anyone really died inside, no one outside would definitely know.
And God knows what will happen after the real contact with the treasure......
"Suffered, will Su Chen ......" Xiyue really panicked, among the competitors, Su Chen was the weakest one, even if there was Shang Weeping Cloud, most of them would become the primary target of others' eradication, and in that small world called heaven and earth should not be called spiritual, the danger that Su Chen would face was unimaginable.
Xiyue was afraid, she was afraid that Su Chen would be robbed!
Elder Shadow Moon quietly appeared beside her, stretched out his hand and pressed it on her shoulder, Xi Yue was stunned for a moment, but heard Shadow Moon say: "This son has an extraordinary fate, and he will not be robbed so easily." ”
"What kind of life?" Xiyue wondered.
"I don't know, this is what the Great Elder said to me, Qingyue and Yunyue in private, so don't worry too much, if you think about it, this kid will try his best to keep himself alive. Shadow Moon said.
Xiyue thought carefully about Elder Yingyue's words, and her heart relaxed a little, but she still couldn't help but worry about Su Chen, after all, her dream of prophecy had finally come true.
"Come with me. The veteran immortal said, turning around and walking onto a mountain path.
The ten competitors looked at each other, and then followed one after another, and when they were still fighting from time to time, it was not too late to make a move after entering the small world.
Su Chen and Shang Qiyun came together silently, and to their surprise, Yuan Kong and Duanmu Jingrong walked together, and the other six people were also in pairs.
It seems that these people are also allied with each other.
The mountain path leads to the interior of Qingkong Mountain, and the further they go, the narrower it becomes, the fog rises on both sides of the path, and as they advance, it becomes thicker and thicker, and the white expanse is so vast that nothing can be seen except for the people walking on the mountain path.
"It's the only way to get into the small world, and it's the only way out. The words of the veteran peerless immortal came from the front, "I can only take you here." He turned sideways and let the group of young people behind him come to the front, and then continued, "You have no mortal enmity with each other before, and I hope you don't take revenge for personal gain, you are all good seedlings of the cultivation world, if you die young, it will be a loss for the cultivation world." ”
"Thank you seniors for your advice!" said Yuankong with his hands folded and respectfully.
"I won't say anything superfluous, you can continue to move forward and enter the small world where the Imperial Treasure is located, cherish it. As he spoke, the elder Immortal powerhouse sighed, and then left the way he came, as he had come, walking away.
"That being said, if we don't go the same way, it's better to go our separate ways. Duanmu Jingrong said, "You can take the first step, and Master Yuankong and I will enter later." ”
"Let's go. Su Chen said to Shang Qiyun, Shang Qiyun nodded, and the two nodded to them as they passed by Yuankong and Duanmu Jingrong to show their gratitude.
In a short time, the path under their feet was gone, for it was also obscured by the thick fog, and when they looked back, the other competitors were not visible.
Shang Weeyun closed his eyes and condensed a divine thought to explore the surroundings, but he couldn't perceive anything except a white expanse, and he found that the divine thought had touched an invisible barrier and could no longer spread.
"Have we already entered the small world built by the strange treasure?" Shang Weiyun frowned, the two of them did not move for the time being, and no one else appeared.
"Maybe when the trail disappears, we'll be in it. Su Chen said, "The Imperial Treasure is really extraordinary, and it can actually build an independent space by itself." ”
"Those who have this ability are by no means related to the emperor in the ordinary sense. Shang Weiyun said, "The things that can be recorded in the master's sect, have independent consciousness, and have extraordinary abilities must be the magic weapons used by the emperor!"
"Emperor's ......" Su Chen also remembered these records, and he had also seen them.
"The Emperor's magic weapon can be called an imperial weapon, not any artifact related to the emperor. Shang Weiyun added, "Whether it is a weapon of enlightenment, or a soldier of conquest, it can be called an imperial weapon." ”
There has been no conclusion since ancient times how many imperial artifacts exist in Shenzhou, but imperial artifacts are indeed scarce. Some imperial weapons are the emperor's enlightenment vessels, and some imperial artifacts are refined after the emperor's enlightenment, especially the latter, which must be refined with extraordinary materials, otherwise how can they be the emperor's vessels?
There is even an eternal legend that the emperor has its own life, and it is a kind of creature that exists in the world in a special form, and is given life by the emperor, and is called the emperor in thousands of magic weapons, and is the "emperor" in the magic weapons. But all imperial weapons have unfathomable power, and there are also many mist surrounding them.
"Let's move on. Su Chen said.
"Okay, let's go in the direction you came. Shang Weiyun nodded.
For the things they were about to face, they had a little bit of awareness in their hearts, and they also had a little more worry, if it was really an imperial weapon, how would they, the little monks, obtain it?
Even with the guarantee of the peerless immortal powerhouse, the hearts of the two of them were also beating drums.
