Volume 1: Born to be a Hero Chapter 5: The Snowy Maze

Thundered...

The earth trembled violently again, waking He Yi up from his memories.

He looked back in the direction of the avalanche, and saw that in the sky behind him, the gray and thick clouds were like mud crushed by a great force, and the mountains below were affected, and a large number of mountain rocks collapsed and shattered in the trembling again and again, and rolled down.

In the gray sky, all kinds of rainbows flashed alternately, and the magic powers emerged in endlessly.

At this moment, He Yi could almost conclude that the battle to encircle and suppress the snow beast had continued since he fell unconscious, and it had not completely ended.

"It is worthy of being one of the most powerful demon beasts in the legend, even if it is surrounded and suppressed by countless powerful cultivators, it can still resist to such a point. He Yi was amazed in his heart.

I remembered that in the previous decades, when the world was not unified, there was a king of a small northern country who made a bold statement and vowed to incorporate the Northern Wilderness into his territory.

Now it seems ridiculous.

Suddenly, an incomparably dazzling golden rainbow pierced through the center of the clouds, obscuring all the light of the surrounding Mystic Method, leaving only one color between heaven and earth.

It was a huge golden sword...

It slowly descended from the sky, like a golden crow of the sun swooping down above the nine heavens, and was molded into the shape of a sword.

The speed of the sword was extremely slow, it seemed to be bulky, but it was full of a majestic momentum, and every golden light it emitted was like a substantial sword qi, rapidly cutting through everything around it.

The smoke disappears, the clouds disperse.

High in the air, in front of the tip of the sword, a figure floated quietly in the air. The long hair dances wildly, and the spirit is peerless, although the face cannot be seen clearly, but just the graceful posture is already impressive.

Once again, He Yi's heart suffered a great shock.

"That's not right..."

Soon, He Yi discovered something strange.

The other rainbow rays that were hidden by the golden sword soon lit up again, but the strange thing was that the direction of their attack was actually the figure hanging in the air!

The rainbow rays of various colors collided with the sword qi emitted by the golden sword tip, like beautiful flower buds, constantly reincarnating between countless blooms and bursts.

No matter how you look at it, it's like a fight between people, rather than encircling and suppressing the Xuanying Snow Beast.

Is this infighting...... Suddenly, a thought burst out of He Yi's mind.

It seems that those powerful cultivators are very likely to have won the battle to exterminate the snow beasts, and at this time, the fighting method must be to compete with each other in order to win more loot for themselves.

Thundered!!!

......

The snowfield is constantly shaking, surrounded by countless towering snow-capped mountains, and is likely to trigger another avalanche.

Although He Yi was lucky enough to eat the Qilin Jade Fruit, and the five elements of his body transformed into pure yang water, he was not afraid of the cold, but if he was buried under the avalanche again, with only his current weak body, I am afraid that he would never be able to climb out again.

"This place should not stay for a long time!" He Yi made up his mind, and ran out.

All the way to the south, from the beginning of tomorrow to the sinking of the stars, He Yi walked for a day before he stopped and rested beside a dead tree.

After looking around, He Yi helplessly found that he was lost and lost his direction.

The reason was that a sudden fog covered the sky before, almost completely covering the entire Northern Wilderness, and when the fog disappeared, everything around it also changed its appearance.

He used one place as a base, left a mark, and explored around, repeating it several times, but he did not move an inch.

"What the hell is going on?"

I remember that a few feet in front of me, there was a decaying stump, but now it turned into a growing cedar tree.

And that's not even the weirdest of all.

To his great amazement, the originally boundless flat land behind him was also split in two by some unknown force, forming a bottomless cliff.

He Yi walked to the cedar and stretched out his hand to the trunk of the pine tree, and the moment the two touched each other, a faint ripple suddenly rippled in front of the trunk.

Then, He Yi's entire palm sank into the trunk.

There is no touch, it is empty.

"It's... Illusion?Mirage?" He Yi frowned, and his palm continued to move downward, until it was three feet above the ground, and his palm finally touched the real thing.

The touch is cold and rough, and it should be the stump I saw earlier.

It seems that this illusion must have been derived from the stump of the tree.

He glanced back at the cliff behind him, hesitated, and then raised his feet and walked towards the abyss.

One step, two steps, three steps...

He Yi stepped into the air, and then, he stood on top of the abyss!

I see!

He Yi was instantaneous.

At this time, the snowfield seems to have become a huge natural labyrinth, with mountains, rivers, clouds, seas and stars, changing all the time, sometimes true and sometimes false, sometimes real-time virtual.

One second it was a flat road, and the next second it could turn into an abyss cliff, but all this can only confuse the vision.

"The Mirage Great Array? It's another deceptive trick by those cultivators. He Yi muttered to himself.

The Mirage Great Array, as the name suggests, has the meaning of a mirage, and its interior is half real and half virtual, with countless traps, which is also the cleverness of the entire Great Array.

He Yi guessed that perhaps it was this formation deliberately set up by those cultivators in order to prevent the snow beasts from escaping.

Unfortunately, he was also trapped in the formation and unable to get out.

Although he is not a cultivator, as a person who has personally ascended the cultivation continent, he naturally knows more about cultivators than others.

That trip to the Silent Sea, although he successfully came to the world of immortals, but this place is not as rich and beautiful as He Yi imagined.

It was a vast continent, very barren.

The land is depleted, plants are not growing, cracked earth can be seen everywhere, the air is clumsy and choking, and if ordinary people come here, they may not live for more than a month to choke to death.

He Yi and the others' fleet docked on an island closest to the Xiuzhen Continent, where they met an old man with a Dao Bone Immortal Wind.

The old man appeared in front of everyone's eyes out of thin air, and immediately called Xu Fangshi shocked as a celestial, led the crowd to worship, and asked the immortals to go out of the mountain and go to the world.

"I'm just an ordinary cultivator..."Facing Xu Fangshi's pilgrim-like posture, the old immortal said with a wry smile.

Hence the word Xiuzhen.

The old immortal did not agree to Xu Fangshi's request to go out of the mountain, but out of courtesy, he still took He Yi and others to visit the cave where he practiced.

It was a kind of cave called "Mirage", and the one that created the cave was a formation called "Mirage Array".

In front of a ruined stone mountain, the old immortal just stretched out his hand and clicked, and a hole appeared in front of the mountain gate.

Originally, it was unremarkable, but everyone entered it with them, and they saw a mansion carved in gold and jade, and the jewels were brilliant, and everyone was stunned for a moment.

From the outside, it's clearly a barren mountain!

The old immortal said, the environment of the Xiuzhen Continent is harsh, bad habits are common, and you can only live in the mirage in order to protect yourself.

Then, the old immortal exerted his magical powers, flew the sky and swept the earth, resisted the wind and stepped on the clouds, called the wind and rain, and soared into the sky...

In addition, the old immortals showed them a magical "Five Elements Technique" - turning stones into gold, pulling seedlings to grow, turning water into ice, making fire for no reason, turning soil into sand...

This kind of ability, which is impossible in He Yi's opinion, is realized one by one in the hands of that old man!

And most importantly - the art of immortality!

According to the old immortal, he has lived for 10,000 years!

Ten thousand years!

A real long live body!

From ancient times to the present, all emperors have dreamed of a long live body!

"Mortals have sailed here from the Silent Sea, but for a few months, this immortal has lived for 10,000 years, and he doesn't know that there is another continent beyond the Silent Sea?

When everyone was in a state of extreme shock, He Yi was suspicious and very puzzled.

Perhaps, the old immortal is lying?

If it's really lying... As a high immortal, why deceive these mortals?

If he's not lying... So why can't they even get out of the silent sea?

Why?

No one can answer He Yi's question, and if the immortal doesn't take the initiative to speak, no one will know.

After leaving this island, Xu Fangshi did not follow the old immortal's advice and left.

He had been carried away by the art of immortality, and he took a part of the ships straight to the Xiuzhen Continent overnight, leaving He Yi and the others on that deserted island.

"The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, if you want to attract the immortals into the world, I am afraid that sooner or later it will be uncontrolled, if he wants to dominate the world, I am afraid that no one will be able to resist the power of immortals. He Yi whispered to himself, and when he suddenly remembered this, he broke out in a cold sweat.

It's too late.

When they went to the Xiuzhen Continent to find Xu Fangshi, he had already reached an agreement with a cultivator named Pang Shizhi.

............

After about an hour, the sky began to show signs of darkening, and the days in the north were short and the nights were long, and it was getting dark very quickly, and the long night was about to come.

Taking advantage of the fact that the sky had not completely darkened, He Yi climbed to the top again and looked down condescendingly.

In the distance, those immortals in the eyes of the world are still fighting, but the flashes of their eyes are not as frequent as before, and they should be nearing the end.

He Yi was not worried about these cultivators, after they got the spoils of war and took what they needed, those people would naturally choose to leave quickly.

At present, the most headache for He Yi is how to break the barrier of the mirage, otherwise, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape from this great array for the rest of his life.

During this time, the illusion in front of me changed again, the stump in front of it returned to its original state, and a lone rock in the distance took on the appearance of a low mountain.

He Yi pondered for a while, collected some fine stones, sprinkled them around, and distinguished the surrounding void and reality by observing the movement of the stones after they landed.

Although this method is clumsy, it can at least keep yourself safe and avoid the fate of falling off a cliff.

In the next few days, there were four new changes in the Mirage Great Array, however, almost all of this area were plains, and it was convenient for He Yi to act, and the only thing that made He Yi helpless was the problem of food.

Although the barrenness of the Northern Wilderness has long been heard, it still greatly exceeded He Yi's expectations.

Not to mention birds, animals, and even some wild fruits that can be eaten by humans rarely appear.

Listening to the unassuming screams of his stomach, He Yi really had no choice but to be anxious and helpless.
