Chapter 403: Hanging Garden
Coming to the Heaven and Earth Dojo, Ling Zhan was sleepy and tired, yawned big with red eyes, and walked towards the place where Mu Kong was.
Since the master went to Dengxiantai to retreat, the Heaven and Earth Dojo has been managed by Senior Brother Mu Kong, and he has been in retreat at Liuyun Peak for a month, and after leaving the customs, he has broken through two small realms in a row, and today he has reached a five-star great martial artist.
Now that the master is out of the customs and won the martial arts pole in Dengxiantai, it is estimated that there is less than a month left, and several of his senior brothers and sisters have rushed back to the Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Sect.
I still remember that Senior Brother Mukong said that when he first entered the Mishan lineage, the cultivation of the martial artist was the most humble. The other senior brothers and sisters who have the lowest cultivation level are also the Seven-Star Martial King, and now that they have returned from cultivation, most of them have entered the Martial Saint.
Ling Zhan walked briskly and came to the main hall, and saw Mu Kong standing with his hands in his hands, standing beside the Zhanggao Zijin furnace, the clouds and smoke in the room were misty, and Mu Kong's eyes were staring ahead, like a monk from the mountain gate.
Seeing Ling Zhan, Mu Kong withdrew his gaze from the distance and said to him, "Little junior brother, are you here?"
Ling Zhan nodded in response, leaned forward and asked, "I heard Zhang Pinghua say that a few senior brothers and sisters are about to rush back?"
"The master is about to win the championship, and when he first went to Sendai, he left me with the communication jade cylinder. Mu Kong motioned for Ling Zhan to follow him to the inside of the main hall, and at the same time said, "I contacted all the other junior brothers and sisters through the jade tube, except for the two jade cylinders who lost contact, everyone else was rushing towards the Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Sect. β
"Losing contact? There won't be any problems!" "In the vast world, the strong are respected, and in this southern wilderness where the weak eat the strong, fighting and fighting for the upper position are being staged all the time. Hearing Mu Kong say that there was a senior brother and sister who had lost contact, Ling Zhan unconsciously thought of a bad direction.
Mu Kong shook his head, stopped and whispered, "It's not what you think, it's your second senior sister Bingyun who has lost contact, and your seventh senior brother Gao Yang." β
"Ice Cloud Martial Saint?, is Cold Moon's ancestor?" Cold Moon has always taken her ancestor Bingyun as an example, and when she went to Liuyun Peak, she often told Ling Xue and Feng Xuening about her deeds back then. So even if he hadn't seen the Ice Cloud Martial Saint, Ling Zhan also had some inexplicable closeness to her.
Mu Kong took out a golden key from his body, walked to a two-meter-high door, and used the key to open the door, allowing Ling Zhan to walk in with him.
As soon as the door opened, the fragrance of flowers was instantly fragrant, and at a glance, a hundred flowers were competing for thousands of purples and thousands of reds, and there was a new world of flowers inside.
Mu Kong walked in silently, Ling Zhan didn't say a word, followed him into the door, his feet stepped on the transparent spar slab in the air, looking at the countless flowers below, and felt that his tired body and mind instantly became ethereal. After more than a month of retreat, Ling Zhan was extremely tired, coupled with the galloping all the way just now, the medicinal effect of the Blood Lotus Pill to stimulate the spirit was reduced a lot, but he didn't expect that there was a hole in the dojo meeting hall, as soon as he entered here, the fatigue on the whole person was swept away, and his spirit became extremely full.
"This is the master's garden, and he has collected a lot of exotic flowers and plants in his spare time, and the herbs are full of aura, and most of the branches and leaves are thousands of years old. Mu Kong stood on the transparent crystal stone steps, holding the stairs with his right hand, and pointing forward with his left hand: "I remember that many years before my father stepped into the martial arts, he also helped the master collect a lot of treasures, and the master said that when he went to the holy land of the sect when he ranked in the martial arts, he would leave this garden to me." β
Mukong paused for a few moments, stepping on the crystal stone steps and continuing to walk forward. The staircase is spiral-shaped, like a giant dragon hovering and reclining, and there is no end in sight to the hanging garden above, and the scenery is different on each floor, and the higher you go, the more aura you have. Ling Zhan couldn't help but marvel in his heart, compared to this place, his Liuyun Peak was simply a small thing, and it was not worth mentioning at all.
After walking the thirty stairs, in addition to flowers and plants, there are also birds and beasts, Ling Zhan was just about to ask, but Mu Kong spoke first: "The master ranks second among the six martial arts of the sect, but the way of the beast is ranked first in the Southern Wilderness, and the rare beasts here, large and small super extreme pets, are all collected by the master over the years." β
Ling Zhan glanced at the past and was immediately taken aback, there were thousands of beast pets, the lowest was also a tenth-level extreme pet, and the highest one was even sixteenth! And except for a sixteenth-level beast pet, there were six fifteenth-level ultra-extreme pets! You must know how rare a fifteenth-level ultra-extreme beast pet is, and the master can actually accept so many!
"Senior brother, why didn't the master bring these beast pets with him when he went to Dengxiantai?" Ling Zhan asked: "Isn't the beast pet also a part of the strength of the beast master, even if you accept the test to break the catastrophe and bring your own beast pet, there is nothing wrong with it, why did the master leave his beast pet here?"
Mu Kong shook his head and said: "The master has stayed in the Nine Star Martial Venerable for hundreds of years, and his strength is unfathomable, and there is no problem with the Holy Land Martial Pole going to Dengxiantai to suppress the formation, without bringing a beast pet." Mu Kong suddenly smiled and said to Ling Zhan: "Speaking of which, the master also wants to thank you!"
"Thank me?" Ling Zhan was a little confused, and wondered how he could help his master.
Seeing that Ling Zhan looked confused, Mu Kong was not mysterious, and said: "Last time you handed over a piece of news about the Holy Land of the Qinglian Sect to the sect, the master went to get the second half of the "Qinglian Sword Codex", and the sword path cultivation has entered the refinement, and the master has condensed the sword bone the size of a palm, and the martial arts tribulation is not a problem at all!"
Ling Zhan muttered for a while: "A palm-sized sword bone, the master cultivated to the Nine-Star Martial Venerable, and only then did he condense a piece, or is it a palm-sized sword bone?"
Thinking of this, Ling Zhan suddenly realized in his heart, no wonder when Bing Gota touched his bones, he was surprised to see that he had a sword bone, and he also told him that he had only seen a few people with a sword bone for hundreds of thousands of years, and he originally thought that he was lying to himself, but it turned out that this qiΔ was true!
"Little junior brother, are you okay?" Mu Kong saw that Ling Zhan was deep in thought, and patted him on the shoulder, but he didn't expect to take Ling Zhan's hat off with a little force, Mu Kong's eyes widened and said, "Hey, little junior brother, why is your hair gone?"
"Hehe...... " Ling Zhan laughed dryly, picked up his sunhat from the steps, and said, "Yesterday, I broke through my practice and ate the Blood Lotus Pill that my master gave me, but I didn't expect that thing to be too angry, and it directly burned my head." β
Mu Kong opened his mouth wide and said incredulously: "Blood Lotus Pill, isn't that the pill that the Great Martial Master only took when he broke through the Martial Sect?" After speaking, Mu Kong stared at Ling Zhan and said in surprise: "Senior brother, your cultivation has risen again? It's only been a few days, and you have actually been promoted two levels in a row to become a five-star great martial artist!"
Ling Zhan lowered his head, Xindao Mukong had been teaching himself before, to lower the realm and not to grow too fast.
But I can't help it, in order to improve my strength and better combine with the beast pet, I must raise the realm. I thought I was going to be scolded, but I didn't expect Mu Kong to just turn around, and while continuing to walk forward, he said: "You kid is born with pores occluded and can't cultivate, and the realm is rising too fast, I'm afraid that your meridians won't be able to withstand too much true yuan, so I'll help you refine some of your master's perceptions and enhance your physique later!"
"That's right, senior brother. Ling Zhan followed behind Mu Kong, looked at his shiny bald head, and suddenly said, "You just said that Senior Sister Bingyun and Senior Brother Gao Yang can't be contacted, what's going on at this time?"
Mu Kong's body was tall and burly, and his voice was loud: "Seventh Senior Brother Gao Yang went to a secret realm in Beihai, but there was nothing wrong, he had told his master before entering Beihai that he would not come out until he broke through the Martial Saint, and that secret realm was isolated for a while, so he couldn't be contacted." β
"What about Senior Sister Bingyun?" Ling Zhan couldn't help but be a little worried about this senior sister he had never met.
Mukong smiled: "Let's pick her up now!"
"Pick her up?" Ling Zhan asked, "Didn't you say that you couldn't contact her, why did you still pick her up?"
"She was cultivating on the top floor of the garden, and she forgot to tell you, this garden is also a secret realm isolated from the outside world. Mu Kong continued to go up, and at the same time spoke: "Senior Sister Bingyun came here a long time ago, she seemed to be a seven-star martial saint when she came, but now it should be a nine-star martial saint." β
After that, the two men continued to walk up. Mu Kong sued sΓΉ Ling Zhan, in order to build this garden, the master spent a lot of effort, in order to collect flowers, birds, and beasts also spent a lot of time. This sky garden has ninety-nine floors, and the Ice Cloud Martial Saint cultivates on the top floor.
Along the way, Ling Zhan also asked a lot about other senior brothers and sisters, Mu Kong told Master Ling Zhan that there were not many apprentices, and they were all accepted after becoming a Nine-Star Martial Venerable, in addition to the second senior sister Bingyun and the seventh senior brother Gao Yang, there were also the third senior brother He Yimo, the fourth senior brother Yan Qing, the fifth senior sister Qiu Yan and the sixth senior brother Tuoba Kui.
After walking down the suspended crystal stone steps for about an hour, Ling Zhan and Mu Kong finally came to the top floor.
Unlike the 98th floor below, the 99th floor occupies a large space, the entire sky garden looks like a huge lotus leaf, the lower 1st to 98th floors are the leaf stems, and the 99th floor is the center. Moreover, the flowers and animals below can only be observed through the crystal from the steps, and the garden on the top floor is the real land.
As soon as he stepped onto the ninety-ninth floor, Ling Zhan felt refreshed and relaxed, and sighed that even if he practiced for ten days and ten nights without sleep, he would not feel a trace of tiredness. In fact, the steps below are all images that reflect here, there is only this layer in the entire garden, arranged from one to ninety-eight according to the divided categories, the crystal stone steps here are the passages to the secret realm, and the reason why it takes great effort to arrange the ninety-nine floors is to make the empty passages look less lonely.
"Senior brother, don't look around, Senior Sister Bingyun is not far away, as soon as we come, it is estimated that she will arrive immediately. "Mu Kong told Ling Zhan, since the master left, he said that this place is exclusive to Bingyun, and your senior sister has a big temper, so it's best not to look around.
"Senior brother, you're speaking ill of me again!"
As soon as Mu Kong finished speaking, a cool and tactful voice appeared behind him.
