This year, the dispute between the two empires over the Hidden Soul Pavilion attracted the attention of both sides because of the birth of a tenth-level phantom body martial art rock body, and then became the most eye-catching sensational event in more than two hundred years.

Early in the morning, some elite instructors and students of the three major academies of the Azure Capital set off early to rush towards the royal capital. After all, if this martial art really belonged to the Tianshui Empire, it would eventually end up in the Elemental Control Academy and benefit the students of the Empire. Therefore, it has attracted a high degree of attention from the academy.

The people who followed Zhang Hao to the Hidden Soul Pavilion today, except for Bing Yao and a few people, almost all of the high-level people of the Zhang family were present, which made him quite puzzled.

Sitting in the car, chatting along the way, Zhang Hao had a lot of good feelings for the lively cousin in front of him. When the car was about to drive into the gate of the capital, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Xin, in the past, when I participated in the battle of the Hidden Soul Pavilion every year, did the family send so many people to come and watch?"

Holding Meng Yurou's arm and resting his head comfortably on the former's shoulder, Zhang Xin blinked his eyes wide and replied, "There are not so many people. Generally, it was three or four elder-level people and the family elders who participated in the Soul Pavilion battle would be present. It's just that this time, due to the advent of the rock body, the Hidden Soul Pavilion was opened more than half a month early, and at that time in the past, most of the old-timers who returned to the family to report on their work had already left, and this time it could be regarded as catching up. ”

Saying that, Zhang Xin stared at Zhang Hao directly, and said, "Besides, the reason why so many high-level family members were dispatched this time is that their purpose is self-evident, they are all to come to see Brother Zhang Hao." ”

"Look at me?" Zhang Hao's face was stunned, and he said confusedly.

"The battle of the Hidden Soul Pavilion, the people sent by the Tianshui Empire in the past hundred years. The mortality rate is close to 60 percent. Although the four members of the Wang family and the Cheng family will also be killed or wounded. But the other six were only half as good as they could come out. You must know that Zhang Yu was promoted to the Saint Master Realm from the age of eighteen to the age of twenty-five for seven years, and the family never let him set foot in the Hidden Soul Pavilion for fear of accidents. ”

This time, Brother Zhang Hao took the initiative to invite Ying, and at the family banquet, he promised to fight with Zhang Zefan. So the elders in the clan flocked here, mainly to pay attention to your performance. If you do have an accident, you don't have to attend the clan meeting after three days. It's good to hold a family inheritance ceremony directly. ”

"Crow's mouth!" Hearing this, Meng Yurou next to her stretched out her finger and knocked on Zhang Xin's head with some disgust, causing the latter to shrink her neck and stick out her tongue naughtily.

Seeing this, Zhang Hao was a little speechless for the nervousness of the girl in front of him, and asked, "Since the casualty rate of the Hidden Soul Pavilion is so high, aren't you afraid to go and participate?"

With a bitter face, Zhang Xin sighed: "I can't help it, anyway, this time grandpa has thought about it again and again, and the stakes are very high." In the end, I was chosen. Let me accumulate fame in the clan through the Hidden Soul Pavilion and my party. Anyway, my brother's divine soul is a fire type, and my twin divine souls also have a fire system. He gave me the pestle sword, one of the three great divine soldiers of the family, to carry with me. With this divine weapon, if you can't beat it when you enter the Hidden Soul Pavilion, you can run away and hide, who can stop it?"

The Zhang family has inherited more than 10,000 plants, and the family background is the most abundant among the four major families. The high-grade divine soldiers alone kept four. A coiling dragon stick is in the hands of the second ancestor, the twelve rotating yang disks are in Zhang Yu's hands, Zhang Hongxing also has a thunder divine weapon Lei Xuan knife, and this fourth divine weapon contains the dual attributes of fire and earth, which is mastered by Zhang Lei. Among the other three major families, even if the Cheng family, which has been in the limelight for hundreds of years, has only three top-grade divine weapons, one of which was only lucky to get it in the tomb of an unknown divine master in the dry bone desert for decades.

At this time, looking at Zhang Xin's single-faced expression, Zhang Hao couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous about the former's naïve idea, even if when entering the Hidden Soul Pavilion, everyone's position was randomly assigned, but if they could hide and save their lives in the case of a huge difference in strength, presumably there was no need for the Tianshui Empire to lose countless outstanding juniors in more than a hundred years.

This thought appeared in his mind, and Zhang Hao's brows furrowed. Although he had never entered the Hidden Soul Pavilion, through two days of understanding, he knew in his heart that this so-called 'Pavilion' was not a single building, but stood in the middle of a square where the Zhengyuan Empire was located in a hunting ground in the huge capital, surrounded by a dense forest. And in such a vast place, if there is not much difference in strength, if you choose to escape, you will be surrounded by three or four masters of the same level, and it will be difficult to lose your life.

"There seems to be something strange in this!" Just when Zhang Hao was puzzled, the car also stopped slowly, and then he didn't have time to think about anything more, so he and Zhang Xin entered the royal capital surrounded by the high-level officials of the Zhang family.

The entrance to the Hidden Soul Pavilion is located in the eastern corner of the Imperial City, and the location is impartial and just connected to the residence of the Shui Teng Dragon.

Led by the guards of the Imperial City, a group of people were brought to a building similar to a temple facility in more than ten minutes. What surprised Zhang Hao was that the person in front of him was actually a cold Shui Fang Jin. And the latter's direct and cold words made most of the senior-level figures present stop: "This entrance can only be entered by those who participated in the battle of the Hidden Soul Pavilion, and the others stayed, or waited outside, or went to my teacher's residence to watch the competition process." ”

Immediately, under the advice of Bingyao and Meng Yurou, who were a little worried, everyone had to go to Shui Tenglong's residence under the leadership of Zhang Hongxing. In a few moments, only Zhang Hao and Zhang Xin were left in front of the entrance of the wide Hidden Soul Pavilion.

Looking at the cold look on his tense face, as if everyone on Shijie owed her money, Zhang Hao smiled bitterly in his heart, but he was no longer polite, and waved his hand and said: "Miss Fang Jin, don't be here, lead the way!"

Seeing Zhang Hao's frivolous attitude, Shui Fangjin's eyes were even colder, and he didn't even answer immediately, and turned around and left.

"Brother Zhang Hao, this woman really thinks that the Hidden Soul Pavilion was opened by her family? Why is this attitude?" Zhang Xin is not like Zhang Hao, she has been a genius girl of the Zhang family since she was a child, and her temper is also not small, so she immediately deliberately did not suppress her voice and said coldly.

Legend of these words, keenly saw Shui Fangjin's footsteps in front of him, and then walked forward without too much stopping. Zhang Hao glanced at Zhang Xin next to him with an angry face. He said in a low voice: "She is Shui Fangjin, the proud disciple of Shui Tenglong's predecessor. Haven't you seen it?"

"I've heard of it, but she is haunted on weekdays and rarely shows up. Zhang Xin looked stunned, pouted, and said: "I heard my eldest brother say that this woman is as cold as frost, and it is really better to be famous than to see it." ”

Entering the main hall, he followed Shui Fangjin for seven or eight minutes, turning through many deep corridors, and only then did his vision widen up. Two small rooms appeared side by side. Shui Fangjin's footsteps did not stop, he turned his head and glanced coldly at the room on the right, then walked straight in the direction of the room on the left, pushed the door open and walked in.

Walking into the house closely, Zhang Hao found that the space in the house was not too large, and there was a faint purple light in the center, similar to a portal barrier. At this time, there were two groups of people standing in the room, although the two sides were talking to each other in a low voice, but the atmosphere was inexplicably a little depressing.

Raised his eyes and saw Shui Fangjin walking into the house. Without hesitation, he walked towards the group on the right, and Zhang Hao glanced at Zhang Xin next to him. The two followed.

"Sister Fang Jin. Seeing Zhang Hao and a few people entering the house, the eyes of six or seven people in the room also shifted at the same time, and a young man in front of a stone platform in front of him greeted him with a smile on his face, and looked at Shui Fangjin with a fiery look in his eyes that did not hide his fiery admiration.

"Hmm. Responding lightly, Shui Fangjin had no interest in introducing Zhang Hao and Zhang Xin behind him, walked to the stone platform by himself, closed his eyes and recuperated.

"Brother Zhang Hao, my name is Shangguan Baobao, I am Shangguan Gui'er's cousin, I heard my cousin mention your glorious deeds in the Blood Sea Forest two years ago. Hey, you've made a name for yourself in the imperial capital during this time, and I've finally met you today. ”

Looking at the excitement that appeared on the still childish face of the young man in front of him, Zhang Hao rubbed his nose and said with a smile: "Yes." ”

"Come, big brother, let me introduce you to the people who entered the Hidden Soul Pavilion together this time. As he spoke, Shangguan Baobao smiled shyly at Zhang Xin, then enthusiastically grabbed Zhang Hao's arm and walked towards the stone table.

"This is my cousin and Sister Gui'er's own sister, called Shangguan Lanzhi. ”

Raising his eyes to look at the woman in front of him who had some similarities with Shangguan Gui'er's eyebrows and nose, Zhang Hao shook his head and smiled bitterly in his heart, although the two are sisters, but the difference in facial features makes this woman can only be said to be a beauty, compared with Shangguan Gui'er, it is more than a step worse.

"I have admired the name for a long time. Smiled kindly, Shangguan Lanzhi stretched out his hand and shook Zhang Hao generously. Zhang Xin on one side seemed to be familiar with the former, and at this time he jumped over, grabbed the other party's arm, and smirked happily.

"This is Chen Xiaogang, the first soul cultivation genius under the seat of the Water Sleeping Divine Master, in the annual friendship competition of the Elemental Control Senior Academy, Brother Xiaogang has never fallen out of the top ten. ”

When introducing Chen Xiaogang, Shangguan Baobao's eyes burst out with a slight sparkle, it seems that even if he is in a genius academy like the Elemental Illusionist Academy, he is definitely that kind of extremely top-notch existence. Moreover, soul cultivators can also refine divine weapons, and from his arrogant face, Zhang Hao can see that the other party must be an empty-eyed master on weekdays. Sure enough, the next thing he got was a cold look and a somewhat disregarded nod from his outstretched palm.

With the dissipation of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the soul cultivators on the Zhengyuan Dalu are even more precious, but presumably before participating in the Hidden Soul Pavilion competition, it is impossible for Shui Tenglong not to introduce himself to the royal family and the people of the Shangguan family, even if he does not know much about his spiritual cultivation realm, Chen Xiaogang must know that his spiritual sense has reached the level of fusing phantom beasts. In this regard, Shui Fangjin, who thinks that he is beyond this realm, is still qualified to be arrogant, but this person's attitude has to be said to be a little arrogant.

After looking at Chen Xiaogang and nodding slightly, he licked his face directly and walked in the direction of Shui Fangjin, and then under the latter's expression of not raising his head and not opening his eyes, his face was full of excitement. Zhang Hao's brows furrowed slightly, and he was pulled to the other side by Shangguan Baobao, and a low voice came into his ears: "Big brother, don't care." Due to the scarcity of dalu magic weapon forgers, it is a bit unrealistic to ask some master-level characters to refine divine weapons. Therefore, many students in the graduating class now entrusted Chen Xiaogang to refine the divine weapons before graduation, which in turn created his extremely wide network and always unruly temperament. Even in ordinary times, he didn't pay attention to the tutors below the academy god master realm. ”

"Oh?"

Zhang Hao nodded slightly. In the Elemental Illusionist Academy, students who have not been promoted to the Saint Master Realm are not eligible to enter the graduating class. From the connections of the old man, it can be seen how popular a forger who can refine powerful divine weapons is in Zhengyuan Dalu. And if such a person needs help with something. Definitely the kind of Lord who responds to every call. No wonder Chen Xiaogang is so arrogant. At such an age, I'm afraid I'm just crazy, and there is no shortage of people in the academy who are hanging around him.

"It is rumored that there are only five legendary forgers on Dalu in total, but after I came to the Azure Capital, I just saw two people who were on par with Zan Qian's predecessor's spiritual cultivation, so it seems that Shui Fangjin and Chen Xiaogang are both qualified to become forgers of this level, right?"

On the side, Shangguan Lanzhi couldn't help but laugh at Zhang Hao's question, and said, "The spiritual realm is only the minimum foundation for forging divine weapons. This also involves a lot of knowledge such as the magic weapon amplification array, material refining and fusion, and the configuration of auxiliary materials for various attributes, if you want to master these, there is no door without more than 100 years of practice and experience. Moreover, the so-called legendary divine weapon forging master refers to the soul cultivator who has the ability to forge a top-grade divine weapon. Therefore, although Chen Xiaogang is much higher than Master Zan Qian at the level of soul cultivation, when it comes to forging divine weapons, it is by no means a grade. Because the quality of the divine weapons he refines hovers in the middle class at most. ”

"What else do you say?" Regarding the forging of divine weapons, after returning to the Zhang family, the old man also mentioned a lot in his free time, but Zhang Hao didn't put too much thought into it, so he didn't know much. At this time, hearing Shangguan Lanzhi's explanation, he asked with interest on his face: "What about Shui Fangjin, is it much stronger than Chen Xiaogang?"

"Not really. Although the two are of the same age. Moreover, Shui Fangjin's spiritual cultivation is more than a step stronger than Chen Xiaogang's, but she doesn't have much interest in refining divine weapons, and occasionally when exercising her spiritual sense control ability, she will casually refine a few divine weapons, but they are all inferior divine weapons of inferior quality. ”

Turning his head and glancing at Shui Fangjin's cold face, Shangguan Lanzhi continued: "Really speaking, a soul master like Chen Xiaogang who can forge divine weapons is much more popular than Shui Fangjin who only cultivates souls. However, there are only a few people who can cultivate souls in the Tianshui Empire, and the former has been desperately pursuing each other precisely so that after the two of them get married, they can improve the cultivation speed of spiritual consciousness through spiritual sense fusion. Although Shui Fangjin said that he was cold and indifferent, he also understood this truth, so he never refused or agreed, and he looked like he was testing Chen Xiaogang. ”

"Understood. Zhang Hao's face was in a trance. Due to the shackles of the strength in his body, he was unable to comprehend the mystery of the Five Elements Fire Attribute, so that the fourth Divine Soul Silk Thread of the Sixth Divine Soul Great Array in his brain domain had been in a state of dissoluteness, and then he could not reach enough resonance with the time of heaven and earth to attract the Divine Thunder Refining Body and obtain the qualification to comprehend the power of the law. And one of the layers of the Divine Soul Great Array in Jin Fengqing's brain domain is the fire system, although the two have only fused their spiritual sense twice, but Zhang Hao found that the silk thread of the divine soul in the brain domain is several times more condensed than before, and it has already shown a real form from the fog. It has to be said that the fusion of spiritual consciousness does have some indescribable benefits for both the illusionist and his wife, which can not only enjoy the pleasure that is stronger than the physical intercourse, but also achieve the appearance of increasing the speed of cultivation, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Moreover, Zhang Hao knew in his heart that if he really used spiritual sense fusion, he could be promoted to the Saint Master realm in two months at most. However, in the current situation, this approach is certainly not feasible. Let's not talk about whether Bing Yao will stop it, in addition, he is also eager to go to the Phoenix Clan's Earth Flame Triple Prison to comprehend the mystery of the fire attribute and at the same time, to solve some of the confusion buried in his heart.

"Buzz"

At this moment, the purple barrier in the center of the room erupted into a dull humming sound, and as this sound came out, strands of rich purple light continued to ripple towards the surroundings, and at the same time, Shui Fangjin's faint voice came: "Everyone must have made their own phalanx clear, and the Hidden Soul Pavilion is about to open, so let's come to the Hidden Soul Tablet one by one to leave their own breath."

As the words fell, Shui Fangjin's body moved slightly to the side, revealing ten palm-sized plaques placed on the stone platform behind him. These signs are staggered up and down, and they are wrapped around the purple rays that emanate from the light gate, which looks full of aura.

"What is this?" Following Shangguan Baobao's steps in the direction of Shitai, Zhang Hao asked curiously.

"This is a soul monument that is connected to the Hidden Soul Pavilion. The person who enters it leaves his own or divine soul or strength breath on the soul tablet, and when he really enters the Soul Hidden Soul Pavilion, he will separate the soul cultivation and body cultivation according to the different breaths left. If you belong to the soul master's side, you can sense the general location of your fellow soul cultivators, and then quickly find each other to gather together. It's a lot safer that way. ”

"And the soul monument is divided into two. The other half of the images are housed in the residence of the predecessors of the water dragon. They can keep track of the contestants in the Soul Pavilion through the Soul Tablet Image. Once someone dies, the image disappears with it. Shangguan Baobao explained.

"Isn't this then?" Hearing this, Zhang Hao's face was stunned, and he suddenly remembered his confusion on the way to the imperial city. The rules of the Hidden Soul Pavilion are expected to be to facilitate the two sides who enter the competition, since the positions to enter the Hidden Soul Pavilion are randomly assigned, those who are unlucky may face the siege of several enemies at the moment of appearance, so that they can lean towards their companions as soon as possible. to get assistance. In the same way, if you are lucky enough to be in the right direction, the people belonging to one side can unite as soon as possible, which is not only safe, but also can capture and kill the enemy as much as possible.

But again, there is no way to avoid a problem. If one of the personnel appears to be an internal ghost and happens to collide with the enemy, then the situation will immediately become critical. It is expected that the inner ghost will continue to reveal the location of its own people, and the other party will gather people to go forward to besiege it in a targeted manner, so that before everyone successfully reaches the Hidden Soul Pavilion Square, once they are defeated. Even if the powerful master is finally left alone, he will not escape death.

I thought so in my heart. Zhang Hao wanted to speak and stopped, and then caught a glimpse of Shangguan Lanzhi casting a meaningful look, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the four people from the Cheng family and the Wang family, and he had an epiphany in his heart. It is expected that over the years, the Tianshui Empire has continued to pay a heavy price, and everyone already knows it. If there were no internal ghosts to make trouble, the annual competition of the Hidden Soul Pavilion would not have such a large casualty rate.

"Boom"

During the contemplation, the nine people present left their divine soul breath on the soul tablet one by one. Seeing this, Zhang Hao walked two steps quickly and came to the stone platform. Scanning the nine soul tablets in front of him, and seeing the light characters 'spirit' and 'body' appearing on the upper and lower tablets respectively, he was curious: "Weishenme, the fonts that appear on this tablet are different?"

"With the Hidden Soul Pavilion in the central square as the boundary, if you leave a strong breath, you will be a body cultivator, and you will be assigned to the forest on the left. Those who leave their Divine Soul Breath are Soul Cultivators and will be assigned to the forest on the right. There are corresponding isolation arrays in the forests on both sides, and in the forest on the left, you can only use Divine Soul Power to fight, while on the right side is Strength, and this restriction will not be lifted until you reach the Hidden Soul Pavilion Square. On the side, Shui Fangjin explained lightly.

Hearing this, Zhang Hao nodded secretly. It is expected that at the age of more than twenty years, once the soul cultivator fuses the phantom beast spiritual sense, the comprehensive strength must be much stronger than that of the master who has just entered the holy master, if there is no such rule of clear distribution, once the two sides meet, it is estimated that most of the body cultivators will suffer.

"What will I do if I leave two breaths at the same time?" Turning his head and glancing at Zhang Xin, who was staring at the light door barrier in the room with a curious face, Zhang Hao spoke softly. Before going out, Zhang Hongxing repeatedly explained to himself that he should protect the safety of the former as much as possible, after all, she is only sixteen years old this year, and her growth potential in the entire family is definitely a leader.

"You can do whatever you want, and then the location may appear randomly in one of the forests on either side. But there is also an advantage, that is, the direction of the ten of us can be sensed in the Hidden Soul Pavilion, not limited to which side of the forest we are in. Obviously, in Shui Fangjin's eyes, Zhang Hao was a soul cultivator, and when she heard this boring question at this time, she sneered with some impatience on her face.

Feeling the impatience in Shui Fangjin's tone, Zhang Hao didn't care, and immediately smiled, and a force wrapped around a wisp of divine soul power gushing out of his brain, directly integrated into a soul tablet of zuihou. Seeing his move, Shui Fangjin's face suddenly changed.

Soul cultivation and body cultivation can be achieved at the same time, but at least they can also get the later stage of cultivation, just like a divine master like Shui Tenglong, even with the assistance of a second-order primordial spirit in his body, the phantom body cultivation is still stagnant in the Nine Realms for nearly a hundred years. Soul masters of the age of Shui Fangjin and Chen Xiaogang, if they only talk about the strength of the phantom body, they are inferior to some of the middle-class legendary disciples of the Zhang family. Due to the restrictions of the forests on both sides of the Hidden Soul Pavilion due to the shielding array, once such a soul cultivator enters the side of the body cultivator illusionist, once he bumps into a saint master master, it is undoubtedly no different from looking for death.

Similarly, Shangguan Lanzhi and Shangguan Baobao were also taken aback by Zhang Hao's actions. Before this, the two received news that the latter had participated in the competition of the Hidden Soul Pavilion as a soul master, but now the other party's choice was indeed a great risk. Even if this is the convenience of sensing the location of the ten people on the own side, if it is assigned to the side of the cultivator illusionist, it is very likely that his life will be in danger. After all, there are only three Saint Master masters in the Tianshui Empire. And this so-called orientation sensing does not determine which person is who. Once you bump into the two juniors of the Cheng family and the Wang family, in the eyes of everyone, there is not much difference from the people who meet the Hengfeng Empire. On the contrary, with Zhang Hao's divine soul cultivation entering the forest on the left, even the other two juniors of the Yujian Cheng family and the Wang family could directly capture and kill them.

"Alright, the Hidden Soul Pavilion seal has been opened. Let's enter the purple light portal and start competing!"

The next moment, Shui Tenglong's voice came from far away from within the light gate. Hearing this, Shui Fangjin glanced at Zhang Hao lightly, and immediately didn't say anything more, and took the lead in walking towards the light gate in the center of the house. Seeing this, Chen Xiaogang followed closely, followed by the four members of the Cheng family and the Wang family.

After a few breaths, looking at the other people's figures and disappearing into the light gate in a flash, Shangguan Baobao and Shangguan Lanzhi glanced at each other with some concern, and then focused their eyes on Zhang Hao.

"Brother Zhang Hao, after entering, the three of us will fly in place in a triangular direction for a few laps, if you are assigned to the forest on the right, you can determine the location of the three of us as soon as possible, and then meet us as soon as possible. ”

"This is a good solution, the kid's head is very bright. Hearing Shangguan Baobao's words, Zhang Hao raised his eyebrows and praised him.

"That's for sure, otherwise I won't get the inheritance mantle left by the previous generation of ancestors of the Shangguan family. At the age of fifteen, I was promoted to the Saint Master Realm, and I expected that when I reached Brother Zhang Hao's age, I would be able to step directly into the Divine Master Realm and refresh the age record of the first Divine Master Master of Zhengyuan Dalu. Shangguan Baobao said.

"Come on, you. The family guardian inheritance is not an adventure experienced outside, if it is all counted like this, the current head of the Cheng family was promoted to the Divine Master Realm at the age of twenty-two when he was young, and he would have been able to win the title of Dalu Genius Divine Master on the first day. Now that three hundred years have passed, isn't he still stuck in the Ninefold Small Formation Illusion Realm, unable to surpass the inorganic predecessors of the Great Chongjiao Xiong?" Shangguan Lanzhi pampered Shangguan Baobao on the head, shook his head and smiled.

Hearing this, Zhang Hao couldn't help but have a little brightness in his eyes when he looked at Xiangshang Guan Baobao again. Each family guards the mantle of inheritance when the deadline is approaching. But the mantle of a master of the gods, ordinary juniors can't bear it. After all, once you can't withstand the double impact of the extremely strong Divine Soul Spirit Pill and the Phantom Body Spirit Pill, it is very likely that you will end up dead. Similarly, if one can resist it in one life, and introduce it into the dantian and brain domains respectively, then this person's cultivation will advance rapidly, and he will not encounter any barriers along the way, condensing eight divine soul arrays in one breath and cultivating the ninefold phantom body or even a higher phantom realm.

However, due to the extreme risk of this inheritance, relatively speaking, it is accepted by the next generation of guardian successors. But he didn't expect the Shangguan family to gamble with such a talented young man. It can also be seen from this that the talents of the younger generation of the Shangguan family are indeed too rare, otherwise they would never be so desperate.

"Let's stop delaying. The situation is not in our favor, and if we let those people in the Hengfeng Empire get together and grab the advantageous position, it will be even more passive. ”

Following Shangguan Lanzhi's words, the four of them looked around and nodded, and then stepped into the light gate one by one, and suddenly, the atmosphere in the room fell silent, leaving only the ten soul tablets on the stone platform that were constantly rippling with smart purple rays
