Chapter 8: The Void (1)
At this time, Qi Lan had already ascended to the third floor of the Dragon Reading Pavilion, and the Book Pavilion of the Golden Dragon Gorge had a total of seven floors, I don't know why the five sects were like being stipulated, and the Book Pavilion was all seven floors.
These three layers are restricted according to the strength of the disciples of the sect, after the third layer, only the deacons and elders with higher status can enter, and the fifth layer is the top exercises in this sect and the secret of comprehending the qi technique, here only those who have made significant contributions to the sect can be allowed to refer to the three hours.
The sixth layer is a book that records the historical stories and major changes of the sect, and the seventh layer of Qi Lan's destination is repeatedly sealed by countless formations, and no one can open it without presiding elders and sect masters. And apart from the sect master, no one knows what is inside.
In the past, this was a place where Qi Lan often went up and down, so he walked to the fifth layer with such a familiar road, and there were some slight obstacles between the fifth and sixth floors, which was a sect information enchantment.
Here, only those who have reached the level of strength and have the mark of the sect are qualified to touch the enchantment switch. After the enchantment switch is activated, a set of numbers will appear on the hedron next to it. Only by entering the correct number can you put your hand on the hedron for palm print inspection, and as for the correct number calculation method, only the high-level people in the sect will know.
Even if the palm print passes, the final internal force element decomposition and identification must be carried out. Once everything has passed, you will be able to ascend the stairs on the sixth floor.
However, these things did not have any effect on Qi Lan, fully mobilizing the internal force in his body, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Force sniped at the surface of his body again, closed his eyes and let go of his heart, and let his heart and a year be immersed in the power. Slowly assimilated, until Qi Lan's figure disappeared, turning into a green light and slowly passing through the barrier.
After reaching the sixth floor, Qi Lan regained her mind and reappeared in the room. He's only been to this layer once, and it's all some old-fashioned history, and there's nothing to see.
Without any stops, it appeared directly at the entrance to the seventh layer, and sure enough, it was no longer an enchantment, but a light portal suspended in the air. It was pitch black inside the door, only the light and shadow of the sky flickered, as if behind the light gate would be a vast starry sky. Patches of nebulae rotate regularly, adding a psychedelic touch to the dark night. It is dark and deep, as if you just stare at it for a few seconds, and the soul will come out of your body and be drawn into the enchanting stars.
Shaking his head, the internal force operated, forcibly dispelling the seductive divine thoughts. Qi Lan sighed secretly, "This formation is weird, look at it once, take it once." While saying that, his footsteps would not stop, and the whole person walked into the light gate with his whole body relaxed. In fact, it is not that it is impossible to enter the country by claiming that this place is so tightly protected. According to his previous experience, there is only one thing he needs to do to enter this door, and that is to withdraw his internal force and empty his mind, so that his heart is like water, his mind is blank, and he intervenes in nothingness with an ethereal spirit.
As for why Qi Lan knew so much about the situation on the seventh layer, it had to go back a long time ago.
A thousand years ago, alien demons also appeared in the Shengwu Continent. At that time, human beings were much more powerful than they are now, and the artistic conception was just the beginning of high-level martial artists. On top of the artistic conception, there is a desirable power of nothingness.
The battle between humans and demons didn't last long, and of course it was only relatively. As a result, this history has not been preserved in its entirety, so that today there are very few texts about the great demonic rebellion of a thousand years ago, and almost no one knows about it.
But Qi Lan knew something about this, and it was all thanks to a heavenly book that he consulted when he was studying under Yunfeng Pavilion back then.
At that time, Qi Lan was sixteen years old, and he was a high-level Xuan Realm cultivator. Because of his extremely high contribution within the sect, he won the first place in a certain sect competition, and was specially recommended to enter the sixth layer of the Cloud Pavilion to practice. There is a very interesting place in the five sects of the world, the specifications of the library pavilions of the five sects are exactly the same, and even the functions of each layer are no exception. The sixth layer of the Cloud Pavilion also treasures the history of the sect, and the major events in the history of the mainland, as well as the various systems within the sect, and those who have been specially approved to enter the sixth layer of the Cloud Pavilion can basically be said to have tacitly become the inheritor of the foundation of the sect.
While reading the historical classics of the mainland, Qi Lan discovered something he had never heard of. To this day, he still remembers that the scriptures write like this:
In the early years of the Shengwu Continent, alien stars descended, and the demonic plague spread wildly, almost trying to erode the human land. The plague spreads among the population, and humans are assimilated into alien demons, and are manipulated by the demon king to turn against each other. At the critical moment, the strongest venerable of the human race, Lord Tao Yan, stepped forward to defeat the demon king and keep the peace of the continent.
Well, that's all. He couldn't help but curse the person who wrote the history books in his heart, but he could also understand the cruelty of that time. After all, Tao Yan, in the hearts of all martial artists, is a god.
When he first practiced martial arts, Qi had heard the story of Lord Tao, and it was even claimed that Lord Tao had reached the peak of the strongest human martial artist. One can imagine what kind of ability the alien demon who can make Lord Tao fight.
At the beginning of the period, Qi Lan was just regarded as an event in history. However, it backfired, and soon after, he learned about this so-called demon again.
Originally, Qi Lan didn't like to be in charge of some things very much, his heart was more inclined to the feeling of idle clouds and wild cranes, and it was really boring to stay in the sixth layer.
As he wandered around, he suddenly noticed that at the end of the innermost bookshelf, there was a void door that distorted the space. This discovery really startled him, but relying on his cultivation is not low, he dared to step forward to check.
After some simple investigation, he figured out that the seemingly strange Void Gate should be the entrance to the seventh floor in the Zongmen's Library Pavilion. Whether it is the encrypted digital circle next to it, or the rotating circle on the ground with no visible function, it should be a tool to assist in entering the seventh layer.
Thinking of this, Qi Lan's heart couldn't help but feel hot, since this was the entrance to the seventh layer, could he try to go up and have a look.
To be honest, Qi Lan was sixteen years old at that time, and he would not have such thoughts if he was a little mature. But it was this thought that brought him into another era.
With a little knowledge of the formation, Qi Lan easily identified that the encrypted number circle should be a circle that recognizes identity. This kind of formation generally appears in the more confidential restricted area of the sect, and it can provide a concise basis for judging the personnel stationed by virtue of the unique method of array inspection that can connect fluctuations or things to identify the identity of the person who came.
However, although the identification formation was good, Qi Lan managed to avoid it. Among the qi control techniques he comprehended, the transfer of flowers and grafts is a functional qi control formula that can transfer the fluctuations of external and internal forces. Unlike monotonous offensive and defensive Qi Resists, functional Qi Controls can play a variety of roles. Grafting is to allow the energy in the body and the outside world to communicate and flow with each other, and his body will naturally assimilate with the outside world. Naturally, there was no problem in concealing that identification array, but as for the rotating and twisted formation, he really didn't see any effect. If Qing Yao might be able to find something here, he would be the only one.
Relaxing his already illusory body, Qi Lan lowered his mind and stepped into the twisted magic circle......
No response? Qi Lan opened her eyes slightly. He was now standing on top of the twisted circle that glowed with an eerie light, just as he had just passed by the digital circle, and there was no reaction.
"Ho, success. Qi Lan shouted excitedly in his heart, stabilized his body, and slowly approached the Void Gate.
The distorted formation on the ground is actually an induction formation that can sense changes in people's emotions. Because there is only one limit to the Void Gate in front of them, those who enter must empty their minds without the slightest distraction. Therefore, it can be said that there is no prohibition at all to enter, but the requirement itself may be the strongest prohibition.
Qi Lan is also a bit cunning, he enjoys this ethereal feeling when he completes his own communication, so every time he is in this state, he always immerses himself in this feeling and enjoys it for a moment. So, he really entered the sect's top secret, the seventh layer of the Cloud Pavilion in a crooked manner.
The moment Qi Lan's front foot touched the Void Gate, his illusory body disappeared into the Cloud Pavilion Countless swirling and distorted rays of light passed by him, and it felt like he was drifting in a tunnel of light, thankfully he hadn't eaten in the morning. This was the only thought in Qi Lan's heart.
Suddenly, the light around him suddenly disappeared, and endless darkness enveloped him. Qi Lan was shocked in his heart, and the internal force surged all over his body, but in the next second, a powerful suction force came from the front, directly sucking him in.
Qi Lan's body shook, and his feet were already steady. Before he could move forward, he took a step back, because the sight in front of him was too difficult to understand. It was pitch black, what was that, and the dots of light flickered all around, including under their feet. Is this the starry sky?
He actually crossed over to the starry sky, Qi Lan was a little flustered and took a step back. Hey, down to earth. calmed down a little, and carefully nodded under his feet, it was a flat ...... Qi Lan originally had a relatively large list, and since he was still alive, it proved that this place was very safe. While probing, he walked forward and looked around to enjoy the scene.
Starry sky, it's really a starry sky here. With a dark and deep frame, flickering stars, the seventh floor of this Cloud Pavilion is actually a portal to the starry sky.
