Chapter 252 The Cold Wave Falls, and Mutation Lives! (For book friends to miss and look at each other)
After two lifetimes, Zhao Sheng stepped into the cave city again, and the cave city was still full of all kinds of pavilions, pavilions, towers, and forts, and the city was clearly divided and the roads were in order, and people came and went in the square, bustling, and extremely prosperous and lively.
And on the cave walls around the cave, there are dense caves, and there are also immortal cultivators with different clothes and different expressions flying in and out of the cave, looking extremely busy.
Nine hundred years have passed, and Dongtian City is still the city of scattered cultivation, just like in the past!
Zhao Sheng's heart flashed with emotion.
He walked unhurriedly on the streets of Fangshi, sometimes entering the roadside shop, sometimes leaning down to pick a few knick-knacks from the scattered stalls.
After reacquainting himself with the environment and atmosphere of Dongtian City, Zhao Sheng set off for the inner city.
Half a quarter of an hour later, in the living room of the backyard of a pill shop in Danding Fang, Zhao Sheng sat on the top of the golden knife, and a middle-aged man with an ordinary face stood respectfully on the left hand.
"Pulse Master, this is all the information I have collected recently, and I would like to ask you to take a look."
The middle-aged man's name is Zhao Yangong, who cultivates in the middle of Qi refining, is a person in the dark department, and is also a member of the Shenzi Mai clan, so he is not called the clan elder, but Zhao Sheng is called the pulse master.
Zhao Sheng took a picture of the jade slip, and his divine sense probed into it, and he read the information inside in a blink of an eye.
"Well, Dongtian City has been in a mess lately! A loose cultivator Jin Dan was assassinated by his apprentice, and he succeeded. It's ridiculous. ”
"Lord of the Vein, Ten Fowl Zhenren ended up like this, it is rumored that he was seriously injured during the expedition to the Relic Mansion half a year ago, and after he came back, he tried to heal his apprentice's life. Only then was he attacked by three apprentices and finally died. ”
"What about the three apprentices?"
"The three are gone."
"Hehe, I don't know where I know it's fake, it's true if I'm killed."
"Pulse Master, do you mean that the ten fowl real people were not killed by their apprentices, and the murderer was someone else?"
"Well, whether it's for treasures or vendettas. Anyway, it has nothing to do with what I'm here for.
But I want to warn you that there are some things that should never be mixed up, and some things are better not to be touched at all! It's going to die, you know? ”
"Yes, yes, Pulse Master! The acting palace knew that it was wrong, and I immediately cut it with outsiders. When Zhao Yangong heard this, he instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and was so frightened that he bowed and begged for mercy.
Zhao Sheng only knocked the other party once, and did not intend to ask the teacher for guilt.
After a little rest for a day, Zhao Sheng took two storage bags containing the necessary supplies and left Dongtian City alone.
As a foundation-building monk, he didn't have to climb up and down as hard as he did in his previous life. Just by controlling the Fang Tian Painting Halberd, he could easily fly through a heavy Tiangang atmosphere.
It took a quarter of an hour for Zhao Sheng to fly directly onto the eighteen-mile-high mountain cliff face.
Along the gray-green, uneven cliff face, it flew out horizontally for nearly four hundred miles.
The cloudy world of Tianzhu Mountain quickly appeared in front of him.
After searching for a while, Zhao Sheng soon saw the landmark: the big bluestone that was more than three zhang high.
After nearly a thousand years of continuous exploration by the Zhao clan in the past dynasties, every grass and tree along the 300-mile road from Daqingshi to the Zhao Clan's secret mansion is marked very clearly.
Not only that, but the Zhao clan also set up a number of hidden fortresses along the way, which were usually used for the clan to rest, protect their safety and avoid sudden dangers.
Three days later, in a seemingly ordinary cloud mist cliff, Zhao Sheng stood on a raised stone, took out a knife-shaped pass token from his sleeve, and shook it lightly at the cloud mist in front of him.
In the blink of an eye, the thick clouds and mist in front of him suddenly cracked a zigzag three-foot path, and Zhao Sheng flashed, flew over the path, and entered the secret mansion.
When he disappeared, the clouds and mist spread again, and the path was soon hidden in the thick of formations.
Crossing the third-order phantom array and the defensive array, Zhao Shenggang stepped onto the ground, and bursts of fragrant and sweet strong fragrance, accompanied by streams of agile water and wood aura, instantly surged to the tip of his nose.
Zhao Sheng took a deep breath, and his eyes were directly fixed on the ancient peach tree that the two of them hugged together, the branches were curled and old, and the shade was as huge as a mountain, so big that it occupied most of the world.
Under the careful care of the Zhao clan, this ancient tree grew beyond imagination.
The peach leaves are crystal like jasper, and the large spiritual clouds under the branches are surrounded by large flowers, and a large area of water vapor is excited, reflecting a rainbow light.
Under the shade of peach leaves and branches, the longevity peaches the size of a human head, red top and white skin, smooth skin color like jade, and the surface flashes with a faint spiritual light, hanging high and low between the treetops, exuding an extremely attractive aroma.
The ancient peach tree blooms once in 30 years, bears fruit in 30 years, and bears 36 peaches.
Because there was still half a year before this round of maturity, Zhao Sheng rushed to the secret mansion in advance to protect the peach tree.
When the peach is really ripe, Zhao Xuanjing, the ancestor of the Zhao family's Jindan, will also come here in person.
"Qingyang, the family really sent you over."
As he spoke, a thin old man with an unusually old face and white hair in ochre clothes suddenly flashed out of the cave not far away, and fell in front of Zhao Sheng in a flash, with a very surprised smile on his face.
Zhao Sheng stepped forward a few steps in a row and said with a smile: "Fifth Master, there are no more than ten people in the family who know this place. In the end, I'm the only one who is the most suitable. ”
The fifth master's real name is Zhao Daochuan, building the foundation of the eight-layer realm, and because he ate a longevity peach in his early years, he is the only living Taoist of the Zhao family.
Zhao Daochuan was not born in Xinglongyuan, but a clansman from the ancestral land of Taiwu Mountain.
This person has been obsessed with formations all his life, and is especially good at civil construction, so he is highly valued and favored by Zhao Xuanjing.
As we all know, the formation is broad and profound, obscure and difficult to understand, and its difficulty in studying is the first in the hundred arts of cultivating immortals, not only is it difficult to get started, but it is even more difficult to improve.
A third-order array mage is often rarer than a fake Dan real person.
Zhao Daochuan was a quasi-third-order array mage, and the highest achievement in his life was the quasi-third-order compound array outside that built the outer defense of the Zhao Clan's secret mansion: the Wutu Lingguang Array.
"Haha, it's good that you're here. I'll leave the outside to your care. I'll go back to the bottom first, I have a Wutu Formation in my hand that hasn't been thoroughly studied, and now it's a critical time, so it's best not to disturb me. ”
At this time, Zhao Daochuan actually left Zhao Sheng alone, turned around and quickly slipped into the cave.
Zhao Sheng couldn't help but laugh when he saw this situation, and couldn't help but shake his head, there was nothing he could do about the fifth master's idiot.
Since then, Zhao Sheng has set up camp in the secret mansion.
Time is like water, autumn goes to winter, and Tianzhu Mountain is getting colder and colder day by day.
One day, under the peach tree, Zhao Sheng sat cross-legged, his face was furrowed, his green tendons were bursting up, and he was slightly painful, and the inside and outside of his body faintly reflected a circle of silver-white, light black, golden, light blue, and light blue five-color aura.
Among them, the light blue aura is the most dazzling, which spreads all over the body, forming a dense and criss-crossed human network. If you take a closer look, this aura network is completely consistent with the human blood vessels.
Half an hour later, first the silver-white aura dissipated, then the pale black aura, and then the golden and pale blue aura.
In the end, it was the turn of the light blue aura to slowly dissipate, Zhao Sheng's muscles and bones crackled, the mercury marrow blood in his body surged like a surge, and his body expanded and contracted nine times in a row before returning to normal.
"Whew, it's good, after the mercury crystal essence is refined into the blood, my physical strength is much stronger than before, and it should be comparable to a high-grade spiritual weapon. It's a pity that the immortal golden body is still a little bit small. Although the treasure is good, it is too little. Zhao Sheng sighed greedily in his heart, and slowly opened his eyes.
After refining the body, Zhao Sheng was overjoyed, stretched his waist, slapped the ground, and after moving his muscles and bones a few times, he was about to enter the cave to see how far the fifth master had studied.
Well?
At this moment, his face suddenly changed slightly, and he suddenly looked up at the sky, and his eyes passed through the heavy magic array, as if he had seen the abnormal changes in the extreme sky.
Bang!
Bang!
Suddenly, a series of rumbling sounds sounded from the depths of the clouds and mist overhead, like the muffled thunder that was constantly exploding on a thunderstorm, and the thunder sound came from far and near, oppressively.
"Heavenly Pillar Cold Wave!" Zhao Sheng was suddenly surprised.
At this moment, there was a fine clattering sound of icing from the mountain wall.
As the temperature plummeted, countless white ice chips suddenly fell from the mist.
The cold current qi unique to Tianzhu Mountain swirled and condensed out of the eyes, and the Dao Qi pillar swirled and roared, constantly stirring the surrounding dense fog.
In just a few minutes, the end of Zhao Sheng's gaze was occupied by infinite white.
A white line emerges from the sea of clouds above, from top to bottom, from left to right, and I don't know where it goes.
The white cold wave is boundless, mighty, and crushes everything with the momentum of destroying and decaying.
Countless cold currents between heaven and earth turned into bone-chilling "ice guns", thousands of feet of vertical and horizontal thorns, wrapped in the surrounding cold air whistling and sweeping.
The cold wave natural disaster is beyond the power of manpower!
With the cold wave sweeping away the cloud and mist world, Zhao Sheng had already seen tens of thousands of demon beasts and fierce birds fleeing from above, or jumping down, or hiding in the stone crevice caves.
"Damn, I almost forgot!"
At this time, Zhao Daochuan scolded and ran out of the cave, pinching the magic trick as he ran, hitting the earthy yellow spiritual power, and shooting into the air in all directions.
Buzzing!
I saw that the air suddenly rippled, and the defensive circle on the periphery of the secret mansion was fully activated in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, the outer phantom array was also fully opened, and the range of the magic circle expanded to a radius of three hundred zhang.
As soon as any demon beast or fierce bird broke into the range of the phantom array, it was induced by the power of the magic circle to deviate from the direction of escape, and unconsciously avoided the location of the secret mansion.
"Okay, Qingyang, you don't have to worry! I haven't seen a monster break through the defense in many years. All you have to do is cultivate.
The peaches are ripe in a month. When the ancestor comes, we will have nothing to do. ”
Zhao Daochuan patted Zhao Sheng's shoulder, and after speaking, he turned around and rushed into the cave.
For the Tianzhu cold wave, he has watched it for more than sixty years, and he has long been unable to arouse any interest.
……
Five days later,
Bang, bang!
A piece of earth and stone wrapped in several irregular large stones suddenly fell from the sky, passed through the phantom array, smashed into the barrier of the defensive circle, was led to the periphery by the power of the circle, and then continued to fall downward.
Zhao Sheng stood on the edge of the slope, and suddenly his eyes narrowed, and he saw a corpse that was only half below his waist mixed in the soil and rocks.
Bang!
In the next second, the other half of the corpse also fell from the sky, smashed into the barrier, and slid diagonally.
Zhao Sheng's consciousness exploded, and with a gesture of his hand, the corpse stopped sharply.
Opening the circle a little gap, he sapped the corpse to his feet.
The dead man was an old man of about fifty years of age, richly dressed and made of extraordinary materials.
Zhao Sheng squatted down, stretched out his hand and touched the corpse, and couldn't help but say to himself in surprise: "Judging from the bone age and spiritual power residues, this person is another foundation building monk. What's really going on up there? ”
Fighting and fighting on Tianzhu Mountain was very common, but during the cold wave, immortal cultivators rarely dared to brave the extremely cold weather to go up the mountain.
Especially in the last half day, the corpses of two foundation building monks have fallen down in a row. The place of death was just above the Secret Mansion at an unknown height.
Isn't that a bit weird?
Bang!
At this time, a large area of earth and rocks mixed with a large amount of ice and snow roared down from the sky.
Zhao Sheng looked up at the sky, but his vision was blocked by ice and snow, and he couldn't see what was happening above at all.
"Is it a fortuitous coincidence or not?" Zhao Sheng looked at the sky thoughtfully, and muttered to himself.
In the following day, many batches of earth, rocks, ice and snow fell around the secret mansion one after another, and there were also many corpses of demon beasts and immortal cultivators.
Even at night, Zhao Sheng saw the three foundation building monks each carrying three bright fireballs, quickly passing over the cliff face twenty miles away, and flying to the top in an instant.
"Something's wrong!" Seeing this, Zhao Sheng finally realized that some kind of accident must have happened on the mountain.
"I've got to go check it out."
With a flash of inspiration, Zhao Sheng immediately turned into a wisp of light smoke and pierced into the cave.
After passing through the long passage and passing over the large-scale building complexes, Zhao Sheng came to the Shanlong Cave.
After thousands of years of growth, the entire cave has been occupied by the countless roots of the peach tree, and the remains of the huge mountain dragon have been consumed by most of them at this moment, and the body is only three stories high.
Zhao Sheng had no intention of caring about this.
He quickly passed through a passage in the northwest corner of the cave, drove straight for more than a hundred zhang, and finally arrived at a huge stone hall.
He quickly found Zhao Daochuan and explained his intention to go out to investigate.
"Qingyang, the peach is about to ripen. It's not okay for you to get out now! Zhao Daochuan said euphemistically.
"Master has you, coupled with the third-order magic array outside, it is impossible for ordinary Jindan real people to attack in a short period of time. And over the years, has anyone outside discovered the Secret Mansion? ”
"I've been spotted a few times before, but they've all been killed. As for Jin Dan Zhenren, there is no one. Zhao Daochuan said in a low voice.
"Yes! In that case, what are you worried about? Master, I have a hunch that maybe the opportunity has come. If I don't go, I'm not willing. Zhao Shengyue said, his heart throbbing more and more, as if there was really something waiting for him.
"In that case, you might as well take a trip. But be careful. If you are in danger, return quickly. Ancestors will come at any time. When the time comes, simply let the ancestors take action. ”
"Well, then I'll go first!"
Zhao Sheng nodded at him, then turned around and left the place.
A moment later, a yellow-faced, thin-skinned man appeared out of thin air in a precipitated hollow.
This man is Zhao Sheng after changing his body.
He took out a three-inch flying sword, shook his hand and threw it out, the small sword rose to a length of three feet, and then turned into a sword rainbow that wrapped around Zhao Sheng's body, and rushed into the air.
An hour later, Zhao Sheng flew over two sea of clouds in a row, reaching an altitude of more than forty miles.
At this altitude, the air is extremely thin and the environment is extremely cold, and the air is frozen in the air.
As far as the eye can see, the cliffs are all formed into a thick layer of ice, and the sky is full of strange and extremely sharp frost.
Countless frosts raged back and forth with the roar of the storm, and the lethality was no less than that of countless first-order spells that erupted at the same time, and in the later stage of ordinary qi refining, he couldn't even hold on to two breaths, and he couldn't survive here at all until he reached the foundation building realm.
However, in this harsh environment, Zhao Sheng looked at the sky from afar, and saw that there was a large white mist in the sky above.
In order to ensure full attendance first, it will be released after midnight.
However, the 31st will still be updated
