Chapter 321: The Palace
Meng Xuan pinched his nose and drank the unknown liquid in the wooden bowl in his hand.
The first thing I felt was that this thing was extremely top-notch.
It's not just the taste, it's really "on top".
As soon as he drank this thing, he felt that his brain naturally produced a strong hallucination and trance, and there were overlapping shadows in the hazy surroundings, and the teenagers and girls around him seemed to have split countless heads at this moment, and the expressions on each head became extremely weird and hideous because of the illusions and superimposed shadows.
At the same time, this trance-like feeling combined with the surrounding illusion of the power of the natural ring that was stimulated by special environmental reasons, resulting in an even more bizarre anomaly.
Faintly, Meng Xuan could see that the surrounding environment was rapidly darkening and distorting, and it seemed that it was about to connect to an unknown realm.
This feeling Meng Xuan was actually quite familiar, when he was trying to improve his inspiration to complete the Endless Staircase Method of entering the Void Realm again, he had drunk a similar hallucinogenic liquid and entered a very trance-like state, but none of those were as strong as the effect of this bowl.
His body shook slightly, uncontrollably, as if he had drunk too much.
He shook his head violently, trying to contain this vertigo with his own will, but what he didn't expect was an inexplicable singing-like murmur ringing in his ears, overlapping and overlapping, as if penetrating reality, shining into the soul, and stirring up unknown anomalies.
The distorted and chaotic ghosting in front of him gradually overlapped, and the light around him quickly diminished, eventually turning into pitch black.
In the darkness, he saw a faint, soft light fall from the darkness, and a staircase of faint white light cut through the endless darkness and reached his feet.
At this moment, just when the picture in front of him was completely frozen, Meng Xuan's brain, which had been affected by the effect of the medicinal liquid, instantly woke up, and the dizziness had naturally disappeared.
Meng Xuan was a little stunned as he looked at the path of light that extended from the darkness to the front of him, and followed the path all the way up, looking towards the end of the path.
His gaze continued to extend with the path of light, and at this moment, he seemed to be confused by the concept of "distance", and in the paradox of infinity and infinity, he saw that there seemed to be a small ancestral hall suspended in the air in the height of darkness.
This ancestral hall has no decoration, it looks like it is built of simple and simple stone pillars, the area is not large, at most it is only a hundred square meters, and it looks like the ancestral hall of Meng Xuan's hometown that he had seen in his previous life.
The door of the ancestral hall was closed, and there was no sight of what was inside, but from it there came an eternal and unchanging aura of antiquity, which made people feel shocked just by seeing it.
"Ancestral Hall?"
Meng Xuan whispered, I don't know what the path of light that appeared in front of him and the ancestral hall at the end of the path represented, all this he is experiencing now should be a fragment of what really happened in history at the beginning, did the owner of this body also see such a picture, did he enter the hall?
Seeing this scene, Meng Xuan couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity in his heart, as if he had seen it before.
Would you like to go over and have a look?
Meng Xuan pondered for a moment, feeling that this illusion did not look so simple, until now, he had not encountered any danger in the illusion, this was not quite in line with the characteristics of the island illusion, if there was any great danger in this illusion, the route along this path was the most likely place.
He looked carefully into the darkness on both sides of the path, and faintly saw something that seemed to be surging in the darkness, and his intuition told him that in this darkness there was hidden the ultimate terror, a completely indescribable existence, as if it was born to represent the source of chaos, evil, and distortion.
"Twisted······ Void God?! ”
Meng Xuan suddenly had a realization, his heart jumped, and he hesitated about whether to step on the path of light.
None of the things involved in this kind of existence will be simple, and from what Mentor Dorogu described to him at the beginning, this existence is often unknowable, indescribable, and untouchable, otherwise any subtle understanding and contact may be perceived by them, leading to unpredictable disasters.
Although this is only a fantasy in the depths of his mind, as long as this kind of existence is involved, even the illusion can become real.
At this moment, in the outside world.
Many boys and girls who drank the potion prepared by the old priest reacted to varying degrees, and the old priest standing in the center, kneeling on the ground with his feet, was bowing to the bright moon that had risen to the zenith, and from his mouth, chanting and whispering in a language that I don't know what meaning came out, shaking the space around him.
All the young girls seemed to feel something at this moment, and in a slight trance, they began to spontaneously follow the old priest's chant and began to dance the ritual dance that they had practiced beforehand.
Of these, there is only one exception.
That was Eggers, who had been possessed by Meng Xuan at this time.
He stood there with a blank stare, not knowing what he was thinking.
Seeing him like this, Sicia, who had already started dancing the sacrificial dance beside him, secretly gritted her teeth, and kicked Meng Xuan's ass with the action of the sacrificial dance, wanting to wake up this guy who always dropped the chain at a critical moment.
At this time, Meng Xuan, who was standing in front of the light path and weighed the pros and cons slightly, felt as if someone had kicked his ass, his body stumbled slightly, and his right foot took a half step forward slightly, touching the light path.
Airplanes!!
The path of light emitted a burst of rapidly flickering light, making Meng Xuan's eyes tremble for a while, and when the trance ended, he found that he had inexplicably stood on the ladder of light.
“······”
Meng Xuan was slightly speechless, and this came up?!!
He looked behind him and found that it had also turned into a series of stairs of light with no end in sight, and there was no way back for a long time.
Forget it, if you come, you will be safe, this is probably the arrangement of the entire illusion, pushing yourself to the ancestral hall in the dark, and you can't escape no matter how you escape.
Meng Xuan took a deep breath, looked vigilantly at the infinite darkness on both sides of the Light Ladder, and began to take steps towards the higher steps.
On the other side, the real world.
Sixiya kicked Meng Xuan with the action of the sacrificial dance, she only saw Meng Xuan stumble slightly, and then a dazzling white light actually emitted from his body, and then, the whole person actually disappeared in place out of thin air.
The movements of the Cecia Matsuri Dance suddenly froze in place, and the dizziness caused by taking the potion was instantly awakened by the incredible scene in front of him, and his eyes showed an incredible light.
Not only her, but the other people around Meng Xuan were also instantly attracted by this vision and turned their heads.
The old priest, who was at the center of everyone, worshipping the moon reverently and singing babbling, suddenly opened his eyes the moment Meng Xuan disappeared and looked in the direction where Meng Xuan was, even if he was well-informed and had lived for so many years, he also showed an unbelievable expression at this moment.
He abruptly interrupted his muttering, stood up, and rushed to the place where Meng Xuan had disappeared at a speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye, closing his eyes, as if sensing something.
Because the old priest's chanting stopped, the whole night ritual was completely interrupted, and the other young men and girls who were in a state of birth also came back to their senses, and looked blankly in the direction of the old priest, not knowing what was happening.
Not only them, but the surrounding guards also cast their eyes on the interruption of the ceremony.
You know, the night sacrifice ceremony is only once a year, each time it consumes a lot of materials and resource reserves of the tribe, no matter what the reason, it can not be interrupted, for decades, the night sacrifice hosted by the old priest, there has never been a mistake, why this time the old priest actually took the initiative to stop the night sacrifice?
Sicea, who had witnessed everything, stood beside the old priest tremblingly, not daring to say a word, and her body trembled slightly.
She felt that it was her own recklessness that caused this strange and strange phenomenon to happen, and it was all her fault.
"Lord Priest······"
Cecia spoke in a slightly trembling voice, and was about to take the initiative to confess everything to the old priest.
"Who just disappeared?"
However, before she could finish speaking, the old priest turned his head sharply, and his eyes were fixed on her.
Cecia had never thought that a person's eyes could be so bright and sharp.
His name was ······ Eggers······"
Cecia whispered.
······
······
On the other side, Meng Xuan walked on the shining steps leading to the ancestral hall-like building.
The darkness around them surged wildly, as if it had been stimulated by something, and the dark shadows seemed to turn into twisted tentacles, hideous and terrifying.
Meng Xuan clearly saw that in the darkness, a pair of eyes of different sizes appeared, these eyes were hiding in the darkness, full of endless malice and chaos, staring at him tightly.
Buzz!!
Just by witnessing these eyes, Meng Xuan's felt the tremor of his own thoughts, his body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and a terrifying change quickly appeared on the surface of his body, and balls of flesh similar to mushrooms grew on his skin, and he felt that something seemed to be stirring in the bone marrow, as if something unknown was about to be born.
On the other hand, a large number of indescribable crazy babbles poured into his mind, almost crushing his spirit directly.
His body froze in place, unable to move even a finger.
Invisible, inaudible, imperceptible······
Meng Xuan had this description in his heart, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and then forcibly closed his five senses, forcing himself not to perceive the outside world.
However, this can only slow down the mutation in his body slightly, but cannot completely eradicate it.
Airplanes!!
In the next moment, he very decisively activated his long-accumulated pure will, and fought against all madness and alienation with all his might.
The results were remarkable, as the Pure Will was much higher than his own strength, and seemed to have a natural resistance to distorted forces.
His condition stabilized a bit, and he regained the ability to move, but he still didn't dare to unlock the closure of the five senses, but fortunately, this path of light was straight, and there was no place to turn, so he simply gritted his teeth and ran towards the ancestral hall on the top in this state of not listening, hearing, or perceiving.
He could feel himself getting closer and closer to something, a great, extremely ancient, eternal aura coming from him.
This breath is filled with a sense of paradox between the virtual and the real, between existence and nothingness.
It seems to contain all the mysteries between the virtual and the real in this world, and it seems to contain all the knowledge in the world.
It is the beginning of everything, the end of everything.
It is ten thousand and one, and it is the origin of all of them.
All things are born from it, and nature is made from it.
It is······
"Primordial ····· Hall?!! ”
Meng Xuan felt himself enveloped in endless light, all the whispering, confusion, and darkness being banished, he stopped abruptly, regained his five senses, and opened his closed eyes.
A quaint stone ancestral hall with a closed gate appeared in front of him, looking unremarkable, and no one would have taken such a building as if it were about to be demolished without the mesmerizing atmosphere of greatness that permeated it.
"That's what it is······ The Primordial Temple? ”
"This Eggers, in history, has ever come into contact with the Primordial Temple?"
Meng Xuan looked at the ancestral hall, his thoughts slightly frozen.
"Wait, Eggers, Primordial Child, Pure White Space?!"
Meng Xuan took a deep breath, what he was experiencing now wouldn't be everything that the weird man in white had experienced in the pure white space, right?
That man's name is Eggers?!
He had told himself that if he found the Primordial Hall and opened the Book of Ultimate, he would get the answers to everything he wanted to know.
Are these answers in front of you?
Meng Xuan's eyes were a little incredible, he didn't think that he would come into contact with the Primordial Palace, this legendary existence in such a way.
He slowly walked in front of the quaint ancestral hall and put his hand on the closed door of the ancestral hall.
All he knew was behind this door, and by pushing it open, he would be able to know the truth of everything.
He slammed hard.
A crack appeared to open in the door, and he seemed to see an ancient book resembling a brown booklet placed on a table in the center of the ancestral hall.
Gollum Gurg!!
He suddenly felt a drowning sensation of suffocation, followed by a strong whirlwind of heaven.
When he regained his sight, he found that there was a fire burning around him, and a group of people were looking at him steadily, as if they wanted to see him inside and out, and their eyes were full of incredible looks.
Among them, an old man with a stiff figure had the hottest eyes, as if he had seen a lover who could make him crazy, which made Meng Xuan feel a little numb in his scalp.
