Chapter 1 Icebreaker Journey
Pangu Realm, Haoyue City.
Linyue Pavilion, this pavilion located at the foot of Luofu Mountain in Hongmeng Xianshan, is known as the first pavilion in Qiankun.
Standing on the Moon Pavilion, looking up can see the style of the fairy mountain, and looking down can take in the scenery of Haoyue City.
Raise your eyes and look up, the sky is light and the clouds are idle, the smoke and haze are scattered, and the fairy mountain is hidden. With a high overlook, the Yaocao causeway, the heavenly river is constant. The water is far away and the smoke is slight, and the ripples are moving slightly. The clouds are fresh, and the waves are shining.
It was September 9, and the figure on the pavilion was floating, silent. Young people dressed in different clothes, in groups of three, kept their distance from each other, and no one wanted to say a word. Seemingly, they would rather wait endlessly.
At the beginning of the hour, three blue rays of light pierced through the heavy spiritual mist on Luofu Mountain and floated in. The person at the head is none other than Zhuge Wuliang, the proud disciple of Chaokun Palace.
Zhuge Wuliang bowed his head slightly, and said with a humble smile: "Let you wait for a long time, it is immeasurable." Please invite Senior Brother Tan of Shenlong Palace and Senior Brother Huang of Nine Heavens Palace to go to the back pavilion first. ”
One of the three people in the Shenlong Palace walked out, with a feather coat and a star crown, and his facial features were beautiful, only to see him clenching his fists slightly, and said loudly: "Senior Brother Zhuge , please forgive me for being blunt." Since this action is a matter that has already been decided by the leaders of various factions, and since we have agreed on the destination for more than a month, why should we make such a move and discuss it before the event?
There was also a person on the side of the Nine Heavens Palace who said loudly: "What Senior Brother Tan said is extremely true! We have been idle in Haoyue City for nearly half a month, so I am afraid it is not appropriate to delay any longer. ”
The two of them replied one after another, and the disciples of the Xihe Hall and the Chaos Hall took the lead in speaking out in support. Originally, Zhuge Wuliang, Tan Qi, and Huang Jian were the principals of this operation, except for these three people who were not unified with each other, the other thirty-three people in the three palaces and nine halls were all controlled by these three people. And among these three people, the default is naturally led by Zhuge Wuliang, but obviously the other two don't buy it very much.
Zhuge Wuliang smiled slightly, glanced at the two fellow disciples beside him, and after whispering a few words, he said aloud: "Since the two senior brothers have no intention of discussing again, then we can only act according to the original plan." I hope we will work together and gain something. ”
After finishing speaking, he took out a bowl-shaped immortal boat from Qiankun's sleeve, and drove it together with the other two people in the same door before opening these immortal artifacts.
This fairy boat has a lot of origins, but there is no unanimous statement. One of the most popular is that this immortal artifact was really left by the ancient immortals, and was later obtained by Zhou Wei (Yan), one of the founding fathers of Qiankun Palace. And because of this great sage of the human race, he was named Zhou Shengxian boat.
There is also another legend that says that in the early days of the founding of the Qiankun Palace, it was only at the cost of the lives of 3,000 disciples that it was taken from a certain powerful demon beast group. And the real name of this immortal boat is not the Zhou Shengxian boat, but the Xuanhuang boat.
No matter what you say, the unanimous understanding is that this immortal weapon and the dark green dragon robe worn by Zhuge Wuliang are all the supreme treasures that can be found in Hongmeng.
Once driven, this immortal weapon has an indestructible ability to guard. It is said that it can withstand several powerful attacks from the power of the Heavenly Demon without damage.
In this operation, the Qiankun Palace used this immortal weapon without reservation, which also shows that in the hearts of all the real people in charge, they are extremely uneasy about this operation and completely take a defensive position. After all, the elites of all factions are dispatched, and no one wants to face this loss if they are not careful.
It is said that after the disciples of the twelve sects entered the immortal boat, under the urging of Zhuge Wuwei, the immortal boat cut through the sky and flew towards the clouds. And the destination of this group is the Holy Demon Realm in Hongmeng.
The Holy Demon Realm is the most legendary of the Nine Fierce Realms of Hongmeng. The only confirmed fact is that the alien races in this realm are far stronger than the same alien races in the other eight realms. Perhaps it is for this reason that all kinds of legends have been formed. Today, it is difficult to distinguish between the true and the false.
According to legend, the primitive ancestors of the human race came out of this world. And the rise of the human race in Hongmeng is also inextricably linked to this mysterious realm. At least, no one suspected that the first spirit crystal was found in this realm.
Therefore, the vast majority of the mysterious and fantasy theories passed down orally by the human race from generation to generation originated in the holy demon realm. For example, the conjectures about the remote realm outside the 128 realms of Hongmeng all come from the cognition and exploration of this realm.
So much so that to this day, the human race even thinks that its primitive ancestors, due to various natural disasters and strange disasters, in the ancient primordial realm, when life is unsustainable, came to the new realm through the "Heavenly Gate" of the Holy Demon Realm to settle down and continue the incense. Later, due to the creation of heaven and earth and the recasting of Hongmeng, the ancient "Gate of Heaven" was permanently closed, and the human race could never return to its ancient homeland.
Even, in the classic records of the human race, the two catastrophes that occurred in Hongmeng were attributed to the human race's disrespect for the holy demon world, and they were sent to heaven. Over time, some mysterious legends have become more legendary.
Therefore, for a long time, the human race has had an invisible worship and admiration for the holy demon world. The human race also treats the demon beasts in this realm differently from the demon beasts in other realms. The human race believes that the demon beasts in this realm must be the spirit beasts raised by the primitive ancestors, and they have been loyal to the "Heavenly Gate" for generations and will never abandon them.
In any case, when Hongmeng went through a catastrophe, the human race opened a new era, and the pattern of three palaces and nine halls was formed, the three palaces shared the responsibility of guarding the holy demon world, and no one dared to trespass without permission. The reason for this, even if it is unclear and unclear, who has the strength to compete with these three factions!
Right now, under the circumstance that Hongmeng is about to face another catastrophe of heaven and earth, the Holy Demon Realm has once again come to the forefront.
Since the demon beasts in the Holy Demon Realm are huge in number and powerful and ferocious, it is difficult for the human race to match, and there are countless unknown dangers that can come at any time, and it is really difficult to save their lives, so why do the heads of the three palaces and nine halls let this group go?
The goal is just to break the ice! This time the gathering of the disciples of the twelve factions can be regarded as another way to take an oath to the outside world of the Three Palaces and Nine Palaces.
Otherwise, how could Zhurong Palace, which was defeated by the Nine Heavens Palace two years ago, be able to participate in this operation? The reason for this is self-evident, and for the twelve most powerful sects in Hongmeng, its significance is even more extraordinary.
For tens of thousands of years, no matter how openly and secretly the various factions have struggled, and at the same time, no matter when, when faced with the same major event, none of the twelve factions has ever sat down and talked about it, and all of them have personally participated in it.
It's just that in response to the old saying, "The geese still have a head goose, and the sheep still have a leader." Corresponding to the twelve factions, it is naturally the three houses.
And Zhuge Wuliang and the others only chose the Holy Demon Realm because of this, and more were just driven by their own interests. People of their age, who are far above their peers, and after learning about all kinds of legends, all want to see the mysteries left by their predecessors in person. Because they know that the really big action is being secretly arranged by the leaders and elders of various factions, and their action is not even the tip of the iceberg.
It is said that when the Zhou Shengxian Boat flew over the mountains and dangerous places, passed through the netherworld tunnel between the realms, and came to the outermost part of the Holy Demon Realm, it was attacked by eight fifth-order peak demon beasts.
Under the resistance of the elite disciples of various factions, everyone still left the Holy Demon Realm safely that night, but for these disciples, it was an unreasonable thing to not kill a single demon beast.
They were not discouraged, and continued to work hard, several times in a row, all of them were attacked by powerful attacks as soon as they entered the Holy Demon Realm.
For the last time, everyone no longer walked out of the Zhou Shengxian boat, but under the impetus of Zhuge Wumei, they advanced a hundred miles into the interior of the Holy Demon Realm, and they were attacked by very dense birds of prey. In desperation, everyone had to withdraw again.
Faced with the situation of finding nothing, the disciples of the Nine Palaces were very calm, but the faces of the nine disciples of the Third Palace were a little heavy.
Tan Qi directly proposed that the current thing should be to retreat and go to the Demon Realm or the Phoenix Demon Realm to investigate.
At the same time, the Nine Heavens Palace, which was basically in line with the Divine Dragon Palace, suddenly changed its attitude and put forward a proposal to return to their respective sects.
As a result, the disciples of the twelve factions have become the trend of the three alliances, some are forced to do so, some are going with the flow, and some are intentional.
For example, the disciples of the three sects, such as the Zhenwu Palace, the Zhurong Palace, and the Tianji Palace, did not express any opinions before and after, and everything went naturally. The disciples of the three factions of Xihe Palace, Xuanyuan Palace, and Chaos Hall echoed the proposals of the various alliances in a timely manner.
This caught Zhuge Wuliang and the others who were headed by Qiankun Palace by default, and it was impossible to say that Zhuge Wuliang didn't expect this situation at all. However, before leaving, when the disciples of various factions knew the goal of this trip early, the current split situation also occurred, which was clearly the result of someone not taking Qiankun Palace seriously at all, or at least, not taking Zhuge Wuliang seriously.
Zhuge Wuliang pondered for a long time, quietly listening to the discussions of several disciples, suddenly cleared his throat, and asked inexplicably: "Senior Brother Linghu, if Senior Brother Yangming were faced with this situation, what would he do?"
Ling Hu Xuzheng had always stood behind Gong Yingyi, and almost most of the time, his eyes were looking at the sky. After someone else suddenly asked questions, his expression was slightly stagnant, and he involuntarily glanced at the two of them. Gong Yingyi and Fei Xu were also puzzled, and both shook their heads slightly.
Just as he was about to reply, Huang Jian sneered and preemptively said, "Senior Brother Zhuge meant, but I can't figure it out more and more. What is the matter of a disciple of Ning Yuan Realm for such a big event?"
Another person chimed in: "He is no longer the Dugu Yangming who was infinitely beautiful two years ago. In the past two years, he can't even catch up with his sworn brother, and there is nothing great about it. Senior Brother Zhuge , if you really don't have any other ideas, let's return to Haoyue City first. After the senior brothers of their respective sects arrive, they will be dealt with again. ”
A disciple of the Xihe Hall said, "Didn't Dugu Yangming leave the True Martial Hall because he had no place to be ashamed?
Zhuge Wuliang didn't reply to the words of the two, but just quietly stared at Ling Hu Xuzheng. Ling Hu Xu was hearing everyone's opinions about Dugu Yangming, but he didn't have any anger, he just replied in a deep voice: "This ...... Senior Brother Zhuge Zhuge ! This matter really has nothing to do with my second brother!"
In desperation, Zhuge preached aloud: "Since everyone has different opinions and wants to leave, please take care of yourself." This ice-breaking trip also came from this, and all the consequences were borne freely. ”
While speaking, a calm person like Zhuge Wuliang also flashed several disappointed expressions on his face. I also clearly know that if any faction really leaves, it means that this ice-breaking trip is a complete failure, and my first time out of the mountain will end in failure. And deep in his heart, he clearly felt that someone took advantage of this ice-breaking incident to quietly unfold a puzzle, pushing a new round of wrestling between the three palaces and nine halls to the bottomless abyss.
Zhuge Wuliang sighed inwardly: "What kind of fate and opportunities will the appearance of the fierce sword and the fierce beast bring to the various factions? Alas, not to mention the long-term, even the situation here has been completely out of control. This makes me think of the Lengtou Qingdugu Yangming who does not play cards according to common sense. Two years ago, Dugu Yangming dared to "compete" with people like Duanmu Qian, but what about himself now?
Just as he was hesitating and looking around, an elder came to Qiankun Palace, nine disciples at the peak of divine artistic conception, and couldn't help but say that they brought everyone back to Haoyue City.
