Chapter 522: The Fallen Path to the Heavens
The Imperial Palace, the palace of the Great.
Whether it is in the primeval period or in ancient times, an emperor must have a palace to match. It's like the dojo of the saint and the ancestor, a symbol of status. At the same time, it is also the last means of defense of the emperor.
A Great Emperor's Palace, a Saint's Dojo, all have to go through their thousands of years of continuous operation, continuous repair, one by one in the immortal Dao to shine. Generally speaking, a great emperor's palace, after releasing all the energy, can fight against five beings of the same level as him at the same time, because in his own palace, he is a god and an immortal.
And the reason why Tiangui can recognize at a glance that the building hidden in the ancient forest is the imperial palace is that no matter when the emperor's palace is, there will be an imperial power shrouded in it, even if countless years have passed, this imperial power will not disappear, at most it will become much weaker.
Tiangui felt an extremely obscure imperial power faintly coming from inside the palace. After his reminder, Xu Lin and the others also felt it. However, this imperial power is very weak, so weak that it seems that even a small child can touch it at will.
Xu Lin and the others understood that the owner of this imperial palace had probably fallen for many years, and this palace might have already been deserted. Without the holding of the emperor's own breath, it is already very good that the emperor's power has not been wiped out.
Xu Lin and the others stepped on the thick layer of dead leaves with a rotten aura under their feet, and came to this imperial palace. When they were on the Creation Divine Boat, they didn't see it very clearly, because this palace was covered by extremely dense foliage, and if it weren't for the extremely sensitive rules of heaven, they might not be able to discover the existence of this palace.
"Barren, eternal, immortal! This palace has existed here for many years, and there is no secondary hall next to it, so it seems that someone must have moved here with great power. Standing in front of the palace, Tiangui said with emotion.
This is a huge palace covering an area of thousands of acres, with eaves and walls, carved beams and painted buildings, huge squares, neat ancient dings, and a bronze giant beast one zhang high, all telling the glory it once had. However, the years are merciless, and after the fall of its owner, the splendor dims, and after countless years have passed, only a barren land remains, like an old man who has reached the twilight of his life.
Xu Lin and the others walked in the palace and sighed at the enormity of the palace. They saw the huge painting walls in the palace and saw the sculptures with the vicissitudes of life. Finally, they stopped in the main hall of the palace.
"Hundreds of millions of years have passed, a generation of people has turned to dust, and the palace is still there, but it is no longer a thing. It is very likely that this palace was once splendid in the primeval period, but unfortunately, to this day, it can only be like a discarded old man, and it is difficult to see the light of day in this ancient forest. Xu Lin looked at the throne above the main hall. The patterns on it have decayed, and not even a trace of the formation pattern can be found.
Eventually, Xu Lin and the others withdrew from the palace. The palace may have been glorious in ancient times, but to this day, it is deserted, and they have not found anything of value in it. For tens of millions of years, except for the Taihao immortal weapon, other treasures are difficult to be eroded by the peach years, and become decayed.
Once again boarded the Creation Divine Boat, the expressions of Xu Lin and the others became extremely solemn, and everyone was silent. From that imperial palace, they once again felt the power of the rules of time. Even an existence like the Great Emperor could not escape the erosion of time and eventually turned to dust.
Who in the world doesn't die? No matter how gorgeous you are, you will only be a pink skeleton in the end. No matter how proud you are, you will have thousands of miles of country, and in the end it will be just a pile of loess.
In the long river of years, I don't know how many amazing and brilliant people have appeared, they look at the sky one by one, and run through the world, but when the deadline comes, they can only end with hatred.
Xu Lin suddenly felt a little frightened, the way of heaven is ruthless, but it is the most fair, it is high, with a ruthless gaze, looking at this world and this world coldly. Mortals say that there are gods three feet above their heads. And what cultivators feel the most is that they are above their heads, and the way of heaven is ruthless.
The higher the cultivation, the more you can feel the horror of the Heavenly Dao. It firmly controls this piece of heaven and earth, this world, in its own hands, and all cultivators are like domesticated cats and dogs, who can only move around this world.
"Obey is mortal, reverse is immortal!" A sentence flashed in Xu Lin's mind, just six words, Xu Lin realized at this moment.
In the western land, the land is relatively barren, and the vitality of heaven and earth is relatively thin, so on the land on the western side, there are few gate factions to settle in. Xu Lin and they traveled all the way to the west, walking all the mountains and mountains, the creation of the Shenzhou flew in the air two or three hundred zhang high, Xu Lin and they stood on the head of the boat, and they could clearly see the beasts running in the mountains.
From time to time, there were plains passing by, Xu Lin and they saw some dilapidated pagodas, after the erosion of the years, these pagodas still have a little bit of very meager Buddha nature, but ordinary people are difficult to notice. And in those mountains, they also saw some ancient buildings, some of which were the headquarters of a sect, but unfortunately the buildings had been emptied, leaving a barren land.
Xu Lin and they are deeply touched by this, the joy and death of a sect is actually really simple. No matter how prosperous the sect once was, there will be a day when it will fall. The so-called way of heaven, the surplus is lost, and the circle is lacking. In this world, there is no eternal country, and there is no eternal sect.
"This westward journey is too mysterious. In those days that passed, the road seemed to be incomparably glorious, but then it withered, and I don't know why. In the past few days, I have seen some pagodas in the plains passing on the road, and I have seen palaces in the mountains, Xu Lin said with a sigh of understanding.
"I remembered a legend!" At this moment, Taixu, who had not spoken much, suddenly spoke, his expression was calm, and his eyes were as deep as the void beyond the stars, and no one could see what he was thinking through his eyes.
"What legend?" Hearing Taixu's words, Xu Lin's heart moved, and he asked with a little curiosity on his face.
Tiangui and Sun Wu's eyes both looked over, and their eyes were shining, and they seemed to be interested.
"Legend has it that in the primeval period, there was a path to heaven in the world, and mortals could walk along this path and enter the eternal realm. And those who are cultivators can reach the other side by walking on this path. Legend has it that at the end of this road, there is a bridge on the other side, and the flowers on the other side are blooming next to it. When you reach the other side, you can be immortal, immortal, and eternal. Taixu's voice was very calm, and his face was expressionless.
He said: "This legend has only been circulated in a small area, but countless people have listened to this legend and finally embarked on this road, never to return." The sage Lao Tzu also embarked on this road, but in the end, the news came out that he had left beyond the stars. Kua's father chased the sun, but he was tired and died halfway. ”
"The glory you are talking about, the road has indeed been brilliant. Taixu looked at a few people and said: "There are human saints, and there are warriors of hundreds of races, all of whom have walked on this road, and you can imagine how brilliant this mysterious road to the sky once was." The stupas we saw along the way, the palace is the best proof of this. ”
"The road to the sky!" After Xu Lin listened to Taixu's words, the whole person was stunned. He muttered those four words in his mouth, and his eyes seemed to see the amazing existence in the primeval years, chasing the legend, and embarking on this road that could reach the other side and become an immortal and a god, but finally fell on the road one by one. Glamorous, desolate, brave, tenacious, sacrificing, forgetting death... Xu Lin thought of words one after another.
"Whether the road to the sky can reach the other side, no one knows. It's just that under the wear and tear of the years, its former glory has withered, and I am afraid that there is only this one with a mysterious legend left. Tiangui sighed beside him.
"I'm afraid, it may not be an ethereal and illusory legend, think about it, in the primeval period, the holy land of Buddhism, Lingshan, was in the west, and the heavenly realm was also in the west, these two existences that shocked the immortal path in the primeval era, why are they in the west?" Sun Wu thought a little more, this is also what he himself did not understand.
"Hehe!" Xu Lin smiled, a dry smile. He said: "No matter how glorious and mysterious the road to heaven used to be, it has already withered. The primeval period is full of infinite mysteries, and we should not explore them, otherwise we are afraid of death. ”
"Xu Lin is right, our cultivation has not yet reached that point, and these mysteries are not something we can explore. In order to protect yourself, you should not think about it in the future. Taixu nodded beside him and said.
"Okay, let Shenzhou speed up and fly, it's been delayed for a long time. Xu Lin waved his hand one last time and dispersed several of them.
At this moment, a golden light appeared in the distance, and in the flicker, it had already passed through countless heavy spaces, and it came into Xu Lin's eyes.
"En, the Golden Order of Immortality!"
Xu Lin's eyes flashed, and then he made a big move, and the next moment, a palm-sized immortal golden order fell into his hands.
"It was sent by the real person of the West Kunlun Sect Moyang. Xu Lin felt the breath above, looked up and said to the three people who had not yet left. Then, he stretched out his finger and pointed at the golden order.
Jin Ling immediately flashed a brilliant golden light, floating in the void, and the voice of the end of the sun came out from it: "Xu Zhenren, what you asked for is already a bit eyebrow-raising, in the western land, there is a piece of demonic land, after I joined forces with some sects in the west to check it out, Chi You's heart is very likely to be in a thousand-zhang demon peak in the center of this demonic land..."
"This is really good news!" Xu Lin laughed.
However, Mo Yang's words were not finished: "In addition, we have already found traces of the three major demon lords in the west, and their purpose seems to be that piece of demon land!"
After listening to all of Mo Yang's words, Xu Lin's face immediately became solemn.
