Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Towering Divine Tree
Time flies in the outside world, but for Luo Cheng in the polar purgatory, the time is indeed unusually long, just desperately spent half a day in the extreme cold, without warning, nearly ten suns appeared in the sky, immediately baking everything on the earth into charcoal, for a time the volcano erupted, the molten slurry sputtered, even if it was not contaminated, but the scorching air still lit Luo Cheng's cotton clothes, forcing him to discard them, and the moment the cotton clothes landed, they turned into ashes in the fiery magma.

Luo Cheng has been in this polar purgatory for more than a day, and he can't understand the rules of the opposite side, just like the prison of the outside world, the ghosts in it are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, when he entered the purgatory, he was besieged by many nameless ghosts, but fortunately, he has high martial arts and has a treasure to protect the body, but he subdued the other party, and forced out a lot of useful information.
In the center of this polar purgatory is the Sacred Tree, which is rooted in the lava and absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon, which is the backbone of the polar purgatory. Legend has it that as long as you climb all the way down the tree trunk, you can break out of purgatory after successfully reaching the top, but Luo Cheng repeatedly asked, so far no one has succeeded.
Moreover, the branches and leaves of this sacred tree are deep in the clouds, and the true qi and spiritual power of the ghosts here are also suppressed, so they can only climb up with their hands, and on the way they are extremely cold, extremely hot day and night, and there are eighteen kinds of torture in hell.
Luo Cheng didn't rush to try, but observed on the low mountain on the side, and during this time, he even suspected that this sacred tree was a trap conjured up by the King of Jizo, after all, after having hope, after a long period of unremitting efforts, it would finally end up disappointed, which would make these ghosts even more desperate......
Since the ghosts in this polar purgatory were all sent in by King Jizo, there are many of them, and sometimes there will not be a single one in the whole year, and almost all the ghosts will not feel the passage of time after staying here for three or two days, and the daily torture alone can make these souls forget all distractions.
Luo Cheng must be one of the others, under his observation, there are at least a few hundred people in it, but so far he has not found his parents, which is also the reason why he has not done anything until now, and those who show fierce eyes have learned a lot after touching the nail, and most of them choose to isolate them, can't they still hide if they can't beat them?
It's just that every day there are nearly thirty or so ghosts who choose to start climbing from the bottom of the tree, and after reaching a certain distance, they will put down a chain that came out of nowhere, and there are already more powerful spirits waiting below, these guys use others to sell their physical strength, and sit back and enjoy themselves.
At the beginning, the souls of those climbers still rested for dozens of zhang, and then they had to stop after one or two zhang, and finally they couldn't support it before they fell down the trunk, and those who waited for work continued to climb to the top of the tree, but soon, as Luo Cheng expected, there were souls falling from a high place, so they didn't fall to death, but it was definitely uncomfortable to fall into the lava, if it was Luo Cheng's body, he would have died a long time ago and couldn't die anymore.
In fact, Luo Cheng has been haunted by Yan Feixue's death in his heart, once he learned the news of his parents, he had a premonition that he would come to the polar purgatory, otherwise when he met the King of Jizo in the Senluo Palace, he still had a chance to escape, and the result was that Luo Cheng chose to face the difficulties, and it was best to defeat the King of Jizo and ask for Yun'er's whereabouts, if he failed, he was very likely to fall into this kind of Shura Hell......
After observing for so long, Luo Cheng couldn't think of any good ideas, and since there was this legend, he finally decided to give it a try.
However, the path to the giant tree was not easy to walk, and when he was not paying attention, the lava-filled ground had revealed a neat array of blades, all of which were soaked red by the hot lava, but they would not dissolve, presumably for the torture of the climbers, but when he looked up, there were not many ghosts still climbing on the tree.
"I see!"
Luo Cheng secretly said in his heart: "No wonder those souls chose to try it at that time, if it was half a minute later, then it would fall down and become a kebab!"
Thinking about it this way, Luo Cheng didn't want to waste any more time in this ghost place, besides, this standing hill was almost unsupportable, and it was about to be eroded by lava. Now there is a distance of about 100 zhang between him and this so-called divine tree, and he is not sure whether the treasure armor on his body can resist the high temperature of smelting, and as far as he can see, there is still a vague foothold thirty zhang ahead, so he has an idea in his heart.
'Boom', the breaking knife suddenly came out of the sheath, Luo Cheng quickly threw the blade and the scabbard together, and then jumped up, as soon as his figure left, the hill instantly cracked, and disappeared into the lava not long after, and Luo Cheng flew over a distance of more than ten zhang just stepped on the scabbard, and at the same time flew up again with the help of force, just provoked the scabbard, he immediately grabbed it, and at the same time chased the breaking knife in front of him.
When Luo Cheng stepped on the breaking knife, he found that the blade was only relatively dense thirty zhang away, and he had an illusion from a distance, in fact, where did he come from, but now he was in the air and could not change his moves, so he stepped on the breaking knife and fell.
Fortunately, this Breaking Sword was evolved from the Celestial Treasure, and it didn't seem to be so easy to melt away by these fiery blades in the lava, but these blades became his foothold.
In a moment, Luo Cheng understood, he used the scabbard as a pole, like a dog climbing a fence in the snow, shuttled through these knife formations, and soon arrived under this sacred tree.
The breaking knife must be extremely hot, Luo Cheng didn't dare to take it directly with his hands, so he could only make the scabbard pick up the blade and directly use the force to punch it into the trunk of this giant tree, and it could also be used as a temporary foothold.
Just as he was chasing the blade of the knife and flying up the tree, he suddenly looked up and saw a few ghosts still on the trunk cast a contemptuous glance, and his heart suddenly felt bad, and sure enough, there was a loud sound of the 'bell', and the tip of the knife seemed to hit an iron plate, not even a trace was left, and the blade was suddenly bounced back.
Seeing that the broken knife was about to pass through his body and fall into the lava behind him, Luo Cheng didn't even think about it, and directly reached out to catch it.
The hot pain was transmitted from his hands to his brain, although Luo Cheng had used his true qi to protect his hands, but his hands were inevitably burned, in fact, without the Moon Armor Protector, Luo Cheng would not be able to survive even a moment in this scorching environment, but he didn't know it.
Luo Cheng flew to the trunk of the tree and quickly had another hand to suck the bark, and the breaking knife was also inserted into the scabbard by him, fortunately, the scabbard was made by Situ Leituo, and it was made of real materials, and it was still intact, thinking of the love between brothers, he couldn't help but feel a trace of warmth in his heart.
However, looking up, the giant tree could not be seen at a glance, Luo Chang sighed, and quickly climbed up...... (To be continued.) )
