Chapter 1: Phantom Array
As a traverser, the saddest thing is that he has traveled to the world of cultivating immortals, but he has not cultivated the immortal spirit root.
Gu Cheng thought that he would live an ordinary life, but he never thought that someone would say to him, "Without a spiritual root, you can cultivate immortals." β
So, he was eager to cultivate immortals, so he followed this person.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Cloud Broken Mountain.
The mountains are tens of thousands of miles long, and there are groups of demon beasts in the mountains, and the bloody mist is filled.
Legend has it that this was once a holy place for cultivating immortals with many sects, but later due to the great changes in the world and the world, the sects of cultivating immortals moved out of this place one after another, and now it has become a forbidden place for immortal cultivators.
The bloodthirsty and ferocious demon beasts, the blood mist that the monks talked about, and the unknown mutated evil creatures made people dare not set foot here easily.
On the edge of the bottomless cliff, Gu Cheng, who was brought here by the bald man, was already frowning at this moment, and he faintly retreated in his heart.
The bald man claimed to be from a sect of cultivating immortals called "Yuling Sect", and the sect was established in this Yunduan Mountain. But there are only countless demon beasts in this mountain, and the extremely poisonous blood mist, where can I see the shadow of the immortal cultivation sect.
Without thinking about it, Gu Cheng knew that he had been fooled.
But the glimmer of hope for cultivating immortals in his heart made him unwilling to believe what he saw.
Seeing Gu Cheng's face pale, the bald man's expression suddenly turned cold, and he sneered: "Do you want to run?" Hum... It's late! β¦ Do you do it yourself, or will I help you? β
"Sure enough... It's me who is too naΓ―ve..."Gu Cheng smiled bitterly, the last glimmer of hope in his heart was shattered, and he was disheartened, but he didn't want to die, and asked:
"Why are you lying to me? What is the purpose of this? β
While Gu Cheng questioned his bald head, his footsteps slowly retreated, and behind him was a cliff.
He won't be restrained, no matter if the bald head wants to slap him in the waist or do anything else to him, he won't let it succeed.
The man was not humiliated, and when he asked for the answer, he went to the cliff to die.
"I lied to you? β¦ What do you mean? The bald man wondered when he heard this.
Then there was a flash of realization on his face, then a look of sympathy, and then a burst of laughter.
"Haha..."
The bald head laughed and rushed over, as if to catch Gu Cheng.
Seeing this, Gu Cheng's face was resolute, and he no longer hesitated to turn around and jump off the cliff.
By the time the bald head rushed to the edge of the cliff, Gu Cheng had already fallen into the endless abyss.
The bald head said helplessly: "Others say I'm stupid, it seems that I'm really stupid, I forgot to tell this kid about the entrance test... Unexpectedly, it scared him so much that he jumped down... It seems that I got to go ahead and wait for him and then explain. β
The bald head said to himself, turned and walked along the edge of the cliff to the front.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Gu Cheng jumped off the cliff, his body fell at a rapid speed, at this speed, he should turn into a puddle of flesh, thinking calmly in his heart, he closed his eyes.
Then, he was surprised to find that his falling speed had slowed down strangely, as if the air around him had become viscous, slowing down the fall.
The descent became slower and slower, and after a few moments, he landed safely on the ground.
Gu Cheng stood up in surprise, and at this time, the resistance in the air suddenly disappeared, and he looked around.
I saw that this was a long and narrow valley, with straight cliffs on both sides, and I didn't know where to go in front of it, but a few steps ahead, there was a pair of stone tables and chairs, and a fairly bright jade lamp was placed on the table.
The jade lamp illuminates the surroundings, which allows Gu Cheng to see the environment he is in clearly. Where the lights can't shine in the distance, it's hazy and dim, and you can't see it really.
Seeing through life and death just now, he lost a lot of energy, and he felt a little weak at this moment, seeing this chair in front of him, Gu Cheng walked over without thinking much, he just wanted to sit down and relax.
As for whether there will be any danger, hehe... He is not afraid of death, what else is he afraid of?
As soon as you get close to the stone table, the scenery changes immediately.
Seeing such a sudden change, Gu Cheng smiled dumbly.
"Tables and chairs are set up at the bottom of the cliff, and it is really strange."
In the interplay of light and shadow, he seemed to have come to another place.
A beautiful woman in a red dress sat at the table, her eyes were complaining, and two lines of tears were falling on her face.
Gu Cheng looked away and looked elsewhere... The cliff has disappeared, and it is surrounded by a deep palace courtyard, and at the foot of it is a pavilion in the courtyard.
The beauty seemed to have just discovered Gu Cheng, looked up in surprise, and sobbed: "Husband, you finally remember to come to see me!" β
Gu Cheng's eyes moved slightly, looking at himself... I don't know when, the simple gray robe is still gone, and he is wearing a set of imperial robes embroidered with a golden dragon.
The beauty pounced, full of soft fragrance.
"Although you are the emperor, Hua Niang still likes to call you husband, looking forward to you coming to see me..."
The woman is like a weak woman who has been snubbed by her husband, telling miserable and chattering.
Gu Cheng was thrown into her arms at first, a little caught off guard, and then he was relieved and rubbed her back with his hand... It feels good, but it's a pity......
"It's a pity it's fake."
Gu Cheng chuckled and said, "Such an obvious illusion is still so unattractive, the immortal cultivator who laid this illusion is too unimaginative. β
Gu Cheng shook his head and gently pushed the beauty in his arms away, the beauty showed surprise in her eyes, and her figure slowly dissipated.
After saying a word of contempt for this immortal cultivator, his face turned gloomy again, "This place is too weird, we still have to leave as soon as possible." β
With the disappearance of the beauty, the surrounding environment has changed along with it, and it has returned to the previous appearance at the bottom of the cliff, the lamp on the stone table is still on, and the road not far ahead is still dark.
"Hehe... It seems that there is no other way to go..."Gu Cheng smiled helplessly.
The cliffs on both sides of the valley, he could not climb up, so he could only continue to move forward.
He walked forward step by step, and soon came to the edge of the light, and after exhaling deeply, he stepped boldly into the darkness.
The scenery changed abruptly again.
This time, there were no waves in his heart, and he had already guessed that this would be the case, but this time the change was a bit big.
The sun is shining, the mountains are green.
At this moment, he was actually standing under a mountain peak, and a white jade staircase in front of him led straight to the top of the mountain.
The mountain peaks are towering into the sky, and the steps are like a passage to a fairyland.
"Is this going to heaven?" Looking at the current situation, Gu Cheng couldn't help but chuckle.
Although he said ridiculous words, he still stepped on the steps without hesitation.
Nothing changed this time.
The wind was light, and the scenery was still the same, but his brows were furrowed.
In an abnormal environment, suddenly becoming normal, that is the biggest abnormality.
Sure enough, as he expected, after climbing some distance upward, he discovered the strangeness of this step.
Obviously, I have climbed a long way up, but I found that the distance between me and the top of the mountain has not been shortened, that is, this staircase is actually ...... Infinitely long.
Gu Cheng was scared, and his steps couldn't help but take a step back, but suddenly his feet were empty, and in his heart, he hurriedly lay on the steps.
His face turned pale, and he slowly turned his head to look behind him, then his eyes widened.
The road behind him has disappeared, so there are still steps to walk? It has been transformed into a bottomless abyss...... Deep, dark, as if it could swallow everything.
The step back just now, due to the slow movement, his body did not lose too much balance, if it was a little faster, the center of gravity of the body was a little back, but it was about to fall, which couldn't help but make him feel afraid, and he was suddenly scared into a cold sweat.
The situation in front of him is still not an illusion, although he is not sure, but when his steps fall into the air, the feeling of stepping on the air is very real, and it seems that if he falls, something bad will really happen.
Gu Cheng slowly stood up and looked up at the peak, where the clouds and mist seemed to be out of reach, and his face couldn't help but be gloomy.
After a moment, his expression became resolute again.
"Since you can't go back, it's better to keep moving forward."
