Chapter 278: Ruins of the Asgard Palace
Lu Qing also arrived here on the third day before the Immortal Palace Reflection opened.
The reason why he came so late was because he was also at the juncture of cultivation before. Last month, Fang had just broken through to the ninth layer of Jindan.
It took a month to stabilize the cultivation a little, and I thought that Wei Wen and Wen En, the two most important young juniors of the family, were going to the reflection of the Penglai Immortal Palace, so I had to take care of it.
Calculating the time felt almost over, he activated the experience mode, locked on Lu Weiwen's body, and then arrived at the scene through the teleportation function.
During the three days that accompanied them and waited, Lu Qing was not idle.
Others can't enter the Immortal Palace, Lu Qing may not be!
So, he flew towards the Asgard body in the sky in advance.
According to the records, when the others flew to the Asgard, they could not close the distance between the two sides, no matter how long they flew, they seemed to be spinning in place, and the Asgard always maintained a distance of not far and not close, as if it could only be viewed from a distance and could not be approached.
This is obviously a very clever forbidden law. However, if the forbidden law is forbidden, it will be invalid for him, of course he can close the distance at will, and even touch the Asgard at close range.
But when he really got closer, he saw something completely different from the one in the distance.
Asgard has long since collapsed.
He saw that the glowing Penglai Immortal Palace was gradually losing color as he closed the distance. Everything was becoming gray, even the auspicious clouds holding the fairy palace gradually became dim, and then turned to the appearance of dark clouds.
Getting closer, the clouds all turned black, and lightning brewed between each other, and the thunder dragon, which trembled from time to time, appeared in mid-air in an instant, illuminated a piece, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. And the fairy palace in front of him has been completely darkened, those remnants of the broken walls, as if they were beaten into this appearance after a tragic war, from time to time accompanied by thunder, and extremely strong winds blowing, the whistling wind is like the wail of ghosts.
The atmosphere is very depressing. Even the well-informed Lu Qing, when he really put himself in it, he would feel the discomfort in his heart.
Slowly descending, rubble all over the ground. The jade floor is full of cracks.
Lu Qing searched and explored several palaces, but he didn't see anything valuable.
Everything has been destroyed, only the wreckage, the eternal remains.
That's not right!
In the last two hundred years, there is also a quota in Qingfeng Gate, which can enter the reflection of the Immortal Palace. According to the records in the sect, in the reflection of the fairy palace, the fairy sound is curling and beautiful, except for the phantoms in it who have no intelligence, some special monster guards, and no other living people, it is as if the fairy palace still exists in the world, and it is the most prosperous appearance.
Why is everything still beautiful and splendid in the reflection, except that there are no living people?
And the real Penglai Immortal Palace has become like this?
However, Lu Qing will not give up.
Whether it is the legendary White Sword Immortal, who is very famous and almost immortal, or the magic of this Penglai Immortal Gong itself, people can feel that this place is not ordinary.
The destruction here seems to be indicative of something important.
The current Lu Qing, because of the system on his body, because of the things he encountered in the secret realm outside the starry sky and the Shenlu Forest, he was full of curiosity about what happened in the ancient period.
This Penglai Immortal Palace is able to satisfy his curiosity. The age here is very long, before the Yan Kingdom was established, this Penglai Immortal Palace has appeared over the East China Sea at a frequency of once every hundred years. The era in which the Immortal Palace and the White Sword Immortal lived was obviously very ancient, and if it was not good, it would be able to involve the barefoot old man and the thunder god.
And in the follow-up exploration, Lu Qing did make some discoveries.
He first saw a pool of golden blood.
Actually, he wasn't sure it was blood, but he had seen the traces of blood flying out and spilling on the ground when people or demons were slashed and killed, which was very similar to this.
If this is really blood, the gold is very strange, and the blood looks new.
Of course, it can't be that someone just left golden blood here, it can only be that it was left in ancient times.
After such a long period of time has passed, this golden blood is still as if it has just flowed out, which really makes Lu Qing feel very strange.
Moreover, more importantly, Lu Qing felt a very strong power from this golden blood.
Divine, majestic, and with a hint of inviolability.
What kind of immortal figure is this?
It's a little regrettable, if Lu Qing is an entity, he will definitely have to do his best to collect this pool of golden blood. I don't know what exactly it can be used for, but the person alone is here, and it must be a very precious thing, and it will be of great value.
Continuing to explore, Lu Qing gradually approached the more core area of Penglai Immortal Palace.
There's so much more to see.
For example, corpses.
After approaching the largest cloud palace at the core, Lu Qing saw corpses all over the ground.
These corpses are not human.
It looks like a humanoid, but it's much taller. Their figures, generally about three meters in size, each wore gold armor, their skin was like metal or jade, and their faces were human, but even if they died, they could see that indifferent look on their faces.
Seeing these dead corpses, Lu Qing immediately thought of those desolate murals in the Lingfeng Holy Pagoda on the Jade Smoke Mountain.
The plot at the back of the mural is a battle with gods and demons.
Demons, they are all inhuman, like evil ghosts and fierce beasts, with claws, fangs and horns, anyway, they are not human. And those so-called 'gods' seem to look like this.
Slender, tall, dressed in ornate armor, with illusory wings of light—only to be unable to sustain them when they die, of course they're gone—like a human, but with an indifferent expression, as if they were dogs.
In the current cultivation world, there is no record of 'gods', but there are records of demons, but in fact, the number of occurrences of true demons is very small, and the vast majority of the demonic chaos that occurs is essentially the monks and demon clans infected by the abyss demon world, and the rapid expansion of this infection, as well as the opening of the door of the demon world, and the release of evil demons.
But you must know that ordinary demons are not the same thing as so-called true demons.
For example, the white ghosts that emerge in an endless stream on the Arctic Ice Sheet are all evil demons, and as for the real demons, the weakest strength is at least the beginning of the primordial infant, and the relationship between the ruler and the ruled is often the ordinary demon.
And what Lu Qing sees right now should be the gods who are opposed to the true demons. Are gods and demons enemies? Lu Qing didn't know this question for the time being, but in ancient times, whether it was gods or demons, they might have been enemies of the ancient immortals.
Continue to observe the corpses of these so-called Heavenly Soldiers.
Their blood seemed to be golden as well, but it was all dried up, which was very different from the drop that Lu Qing had seen before.
It's the same kind of blood, yes, but at the level of the person, there's a big difference.
Moreover, judging from the state of the corpses, Lu Qing recognized that there was only one fatal wound on the bodies of these heavenly soldiers. They were all cut and stabbed to death by sharp weapons in critical places.
The first reaction in Lu Qing's head was that these Protoss Golden Armors were all killed by the legendary White Sword Immortal.
"If that's the case...... The era when Bai Jian Immortal was active is suspected to be a very ancient time...... His enemies are the same as the enemies of the Twenty-One Immortals I saw before...... Could he also be one of the Twenty-One Immortals?"
It's very possible!
In the previous two encounters with incidents related to the Ancient Twenty-One Immortals, Lu Qing had reaped very great benefits. This time, Lu Qing believes that it is not surprising.
If you don't do it, you can get a new Taigu Technique!
Even, the hope of breaking through the Yuan Infant will be placed here.
On the tragic battlefield in front of the main palace, that is, the so-called core area of this Penglai Immortal Palace, Lu Qing could no longer find anything valuable, so he flew towards the palace.
Inside the palace, Lu Qing saw corpses all over the ground.
The original appearance of this place should be extremely gorgeous, but after a great battle, everything was destroyed.
In the entire hall, layer upon layer, the corpses of countless heavenly soldiers and gods were lying here.
And at the top, there was a young man in a white robe, holding a magic sword that was not of the highest quality at first glance.
The moment he saw this person, Lu Qing's scalp went numb.
It's like he's still alive!
But soon, Lu Qing calmed down again.
No wonder he's spineless.
This kind of mythical character, where can be said at the level of Jin Dan and Yuan Ying? I'm afraid that there are a bunch of heavenly soldiers and god generals who look no different from miscellaneous soldiers lying outside, I'm afraid that the strength will not be too low.
However, after observing for a while, he found that the white-robed man should have died completely.
Lu Qing boldly got closer, and after observing more carefully, he carefully compared the memories in his mind.
Sure enough, the previous guess was correct.
Among the twenty-one immortals of the primeval world, there is indeed such a person!
The White Sword Immortal was indeed one of the twenty-one primeval powers!
I didn't expect ...... Such a character actually fell in his own fairy palace.
Then, a sense of doubt also came to my heart.
"Why is there no one to clean up the battlefield, and who won this battle?"
"It should be those gods who won, otherwise the Asgard Palace would not be destroyed, and the White Sword Immortal would not have fallen......"
"But why didn't those Protoss destroy the body of the White Sword Immortal after they won? His magic sword, which is obviously not like a mortal, has never ......been touched by anyone."
I don't know.
Lu Qing's gaze naturally fell on the magic sword in his hand.
Such a sword worn by the ancient power, especially if people still have the title of 'Sword Immortal', you don't have to think about it to know it, it must be very awesome. And it seems, it is. After countless years have passed, the brilliance on this magic sword has not been cut by half a point.
"If only I could take this sword with me......"
A huge sense of regret rose in Lu Qing's heart.
The feeling of seeing the pool of golden blood before, but not being able to take it away, is the same, and it is even stronger.
Don't talk about using it yourself, how much is it worth!
It's a pity that I'm just a consciousness and can't touch it......
Not necessarily!
Lu Qing didn't forget that when he encountered the things about the Ancient Twenty-One Immortals outside the starry sky and in the Shenlu Forest before, he could touch those relics. Although he can't take things away, the remaining power can be absorbed by the system, and then feed back to strengthen himself!
Lu Qing didn't hesitate, and directly stretched out his sinful hands.
But...... His hand went through and he didn't touch anything.
Stunned, Lu Qing felt that this situation was a bit beyond his expectations.
Nothing? It's not scientific!
Lu Qing didn't give up, and touched it back and forth several times, but he really couldn't touch anything.
"Hiss......"
"Didn't you say that twenty-one immortals would give me strength?"
"System, give you a chance, you don't use it!"
After tossing for a long time, he couldn't get anything done, and after Lu Qing calmed down, he could only give up.
He had already used all the methods he could think of, and even opened the system interface to see if he could find any way, but in the end it was useless.
"Perhaps...... It's not that the system can't absorb the power of the White Sword Immortal, but the seeds left over from the White Sword Immortal are not here at all?"
"Could it be that the reflection of the Asgard Palace is actually the key?"
Lu Qing had such an idea.
Otherwise, there is nothing else to think about.
Three days was not enough time for Lu Qing to explore every place in the huge Penglai Immortal Palace. But at least, in the core area, especially around the corpse of the White Sword Immortal, he believed that he had missed nothing.
There was nothing but wreckage, corpses, and lifeless sword immortal corpses.
What else can I do?
I can only figure out a way from the reflection.
So, he estimated the time when the reflection would open, left Penglai Immortal Palace, and went to the shuttle where Wei Wen and Wen En were. And when the reflection of the sea surface calmed down completely, he followed them and got in.
As a result, he went into the sea.
He couldn't even enter the reflection of Asgard?
Why is that?
After trying several times in a row, but it didn't work, he thought of another way.
From the system interface, select Lu Weiwen and start teleporting!
The picture in front of him flashed, and after a white light, he finally left the surface of the East China Sea and entered this reflection.
"Can I only teleport in?"
"But it's normal...... Blindfolding, prohibiting the law, can't restrict my access. The reflection may also be some kind of special forbidden law, which allows people who pass through the entrance of the reflection to enter the world of reflection. Maybe it's because I ignore these spells that when I pass through, I go directly into the seawater, and the spells can't work on my consciousness, and of course they can't teleport me......"
After probably thinking about why, Lu Qing immediately prepared to fly directly to the core area.
As a result, before he flew out, Lu Qing felt a sense of condensation.
It was as if something was holding him down.
He wasn't surprised—he finally came across a situation where he could work on his conscious body!
