A vast white mist floated in the ancient city, leaving only an empty space where the four gods stood.
Carlos and the others spread their bat wings and pressed their bodies tightly against the cold floor tiles of the ancient city.
The mist caressed their cheeks and breathed into every pore. Vaguely, Carlos and others saw endless creatures crying and roaring.
“Save me” “I don’t want to die” “Let me go” “God, please forgive my sins”
Sympathy and sadness gradually appeared on the faces of Carlos and others.
"Yes, that's it" "Join us" "Why can you live" "Feel the bliss of death"
Transparent faces emerged from the white mist one after another. They twisted and changed, greedily licking the living people on the ground.
Snapped.
A huge jade tablet that exuded endless spiritual light fell, and the white mist in front of everyone was crushed away, and the transparent faces turned into nothingness in the wailing.
"Sad ember."
Everyone's eyes became clear, and they realized what had just happened, and their faces were extremely ugly.
They actually gave up their attachment to life under the bewitchment of the white mist. If one of them hadn't taken action, they would have been voluntarily swallowed and absorbed by the things in the white mist.
"It's too dangerous here!"
“My God, is this our punishment for chasing eternal life?”
"Can we go back alive?"
Bernard felt like he was going crazy again. The last time it was due to the impact of Melia on the body, this time it was due to the heavy pressure on the mind.
Looking at the frightened faces of his colleagues, Carlos couldn't help feeling disappointed.
Is this kind of eternal life without control over one's own destiny really worth it?
Bah.
Suddenly a light lit up between heaven and earth.
The white mist, together with the embers of life within it, burned out in an instant.
Under this light, the scene of the ancient city became clearer than ever before.
Boom!
Carlos and the others suddenly stopped breathing, and there was thunder in their minds.
There is only half of the mysterious City of the Past!
In front of the four gods standing was an endless abyss, with a tragic fracture spanning the entire city.
It’s hard to imagine what happened here in the distant past.
"Welcome the Emperor!"
"Congratulations to the emperor for waking up!"
The gods knelt down in unison, their voices pious and fanatical.
Carlos and others tried their best to look towards the abyss ahead. They felt that they were approaching the oldest truth and meeting the most noble god.
The dark abyss surges, and inexplicable existence awakens. Another light bloomed and illuminated the world.
At this time, everyone realized that the previous light was just the emperor in the abyss opening his eyes.
His gaze is brighter than the sun, and His body is darker than the abyss.
He is the ultimate death, the destiny of all living beings.
The moment they looked at each other, Carlos and others quickly lowered their heads, their foreheads touching the ground, and worshiped in the most pious posture.
It seems that if you don't do this, you are guilty of an unpardonable crime and will face the most horrific punishment.
Huanghuang's eyes swept across everyone's bodies, and everyone felt as if they had become a book, being read one by one by the emperor in the abyss.
This feeling of complete control almost destroyed their spirits, and their bodies continued to tremble.
It wasn't until a little green light floated that the emperor stopped reading.
It’s the breath of the Melian tree of life!
Carlos and the others roared inwardly.
How could they not recognize it? It is the source of change in the Western Kingdom and the medium through which this new world travels.
Unexpectedly, the Melia Tree of Life would actually be connected to the god-demonic existence in front of him.
It is even more mysterious and ancient than people in the West had guessed.
"It turns out that fifty million years have passed."
"The Lord of Nature has awakened, and the Immortal Immortal must have returned as well."
"How many old friends from the past are left?"
"Twilight has just begun..."
Sighs came from the abyss, and a gentle force enveloped everyone, lifting them upward.
"Go back, beloved of the Lord of Nature. Only the dead are welcome here."
Carlos and others were confused and kept getting higher. Layer after layer of bizarre worlds rush towards you.
In the uppermost world, they saw the familiar vampire castle.
"We made it out alive?"
"That emperor let us go?"
"What is the relationship between the Melian Tree of Life and the Lord of Nature?"
Everyone was in a daze, and the experiences during this period were simply bizarre.
At the last moment when they returned to the castle world, they couldn't help but look down.
As if separated by a layer of glass, in the blurry scene, they saw the dusty city gate open, and endless creatures poured into the city and disappeared into the abyss.
"Oh, we are short of manpower. If this continues, I will have a mental breakdown."
In the abyss, the emperor who was as majestic as a big star suddenly shrank to the size of an ordinary person, revealing the appearance of Lin Yuan.
He Shi Shiran walked out of the abyss and came to the front of the four gods.
They were motionless, and the radiant light on their bodies dissipated, revealing four cold and ruthless mechanical bodies under their uniforms.
"The strength of the soldier master who has lost the will to unite the machines is greatly reduced, but by cooperating with the rules given by the spiritual world, he can barely function as a god."
These military leaders are all derived from the seals of the Falcon Civilization Lord.
Dao Xing Lin Yuan didn't know what method he used to seal the quill pen that sealed the billions of soldiers, but he transformed it into a space and time, and merged into the dark side of the spiritual world.
In order to fabricate the myths and legends of the spiritual world, Lin Yuan would occasionally pull out several military leaders from the dark side of the spiritual world to appear as gods.
"However, they are not real gods after all. As long as they are awakened to fight, the artificial souls will soon collapse under the powerful calculations of the soldier master."
"If we want to truly recreate the mythical scene, we can only wait for real creatures to grow up."
Lin Yuan's hands moved across their bodies, re-injecting artificial souls into them.
In the following time, he patiently guided the soldier to integrate the artificial soul little by little.
A few days later, Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of joy on his face. He generated a talisman with the tip of his finger and touched the eyebrows of the four military leaders.
On the mechanical body, the complex and crisscrossing lines flashed past, and the four military leaders were shrouded in brilliant light again.
They bowed respectfully to Lin Yuan, and then lined up around the City of the Past, staring at the endless souls of the dead with indifferent eyes.
In the spiritual world, there is no reincarnation, only rebirth.
No matter what race, identity, or cultivation level you were in life, after you embark on the road to death, you can only keep moving forward and eventually plunge into the abyss of death.
The soul decomposes and loses all memories and connections, leaving only the true spirit to be reincarnated in the spirit world.
"It's time to go back."
Lin Yuan took a look and found that there was no problem at all, then disappeared into the city of the past.
…
Shanwang City is the largest city near the Luoling Mountains and was built by a powerful tiger demon.
Huge strips of stone are piled up to form a magnificent city wall more than 50 meters high.
Leopard men holding spears stood on both sides of the city gate, scanning the passers-by with sharp eyes.
All kinds of orcs in weird clothes were carrying prey and pushing mountain goods, and lined up in neat lines, entering and exiting in an orderly manner.
Occasionally, monsters with mana surging on their bodies would appear, and they would be welcomed into the city by the guards.
"Damn it, these monsters are more human than human."
Outside the city gate, Zhuo Li pulled the hood on his head and found it difficult to accept the group of monsters entering the city in front of him.
"Compared with the Mountain King City, the Valley Tribe is really lagging behind." Ji Mian shook his head.
"The man named 'Tang' is very special. Maybe, we can really find the footprints of the Patriarch of Immortality in Shanwang City." Lu Qing said.
"Soup……"
Everyone couldn't help but think of the magical experiences of the past few days.
The Tang from the valley tribe not only predicted their arrival and personally greeted them outside the canyon, but also helped them perfect the magic method.
They only need to work hard to construct the magic formula, and this prophet Tang will know their perfect magic formula from the future and then tell them in the present.
This directly breaks the cause and effect of time and space, and is simply a foul ability.
"It's a pity that the burden of predicting the future is too great, otherwise my creation of the Invincible Eternal Spring Scripture would have been completed!" Zhuo Li said regretfully.
"Take a few blows. Predicting the future is just a waste of time. It's beyond my expectation that your head can create water escape techniques." Ji Mian said.
"Okay, let's go into the city. Don't forget our agreement with Tang."
The three of them followed the team to the city gate. Lu Qing took out three shells and put them in the hands of the leopard man guard.
"Wait a minute, take off your hood. You are so sneaky, what are you doing hiding in there?"
The leopard man pointed at the three people with a spear in his hand and said.
Lu Qing and others frowned. They didn't expect the guard to come like this.
"What are you looking at! Take it off quickly! Otherwise, you won't be allowed to enter the city!"
The leopard man pressed down with his spear, and the fur on his face trembled.
Wow!
Several other leopard guards also gathered around, looking at him with evil eyes.
"We were rude."
Lu Qing took off his hood, followed by Ji Mian and Zhuo Li.
"It turns out that he is a humble human race. No wonder he wants to hide himself." The leopard man said disdainfully.
There are hundreds of races in Shanwang City, and the status of the human race is at the bottom. The reason is very simple, only the human race does not have a strong person in the middle level of Qi refining.
The strongest one is just Qi from the Valley Tribe, who has reached the third level of Qi Refining. I heard that the Dao Mantis tribe has caused trouble recently.
"Can we go in?" Lu Qing asked.
"Okay. Each person will hand over one more shell." The leopard man guard showed two big fangs and said with an evil smile.
"That's right, otherwise you won't be allowed to enter the city." Other guards agreed.
"You're a horse rider, I have such a bad temper..."
"Wait, Zhuo Li, don't forget our purpose."
Ji Mian reached out to stop Zhuo Li, who was rolling up his sleeves, took out three shells from his pocket and placed them in the Leopard Man's hands.
"Can we enter the city now?"
"You know what's going on. Go in and don't block the people behind you."
After getting the shell, several guards dispersed and got out of the way.
The three of them took the time to enter the city gate.
"Ji Mian, if you hadn't stopped me, I would have wanted these leopards to know why the flowers are so red!"
"This is the first time that I, Zhuoli, have been blackmailed in so many years! And by a leopard!"
Zhuo's three-dimensional watch was full of mana, but it was covered by his loose coat and did not attract the attention of other people on the street.
"That's why I said it's better for you to be the second young master of the Zhuo family. This world is too dangerous and mysterious. You should be a grandson when you should be a grandson." Ji Mian advised.
"It's his uncle's. Qi refining, foundation building, pill formation, Yuanying... there is no end in sight for this grandson's journey!" Zhuo Li said depressedly.
"The path of grandson..."
Lu Qing looked at Zhuo Li with a strange expression on his face. He couldn't keep up with the young man's thinking.
Don't mess up your plans.
"Let's find a place to rest first. We will set up the arena tomorrow as planned and build up the reputation of the human race." Lu Qing quickly suggested.
"Listen to Master Lu. I am indeed a little tired after this journey." Ji Mian said, "Zhuo Li, stop complaining. You will be worthy of your victory in the arena tomorrow."
"Hehe, Master, I have reached the fifth level of Qi refining, and I have both offensive and defensive skills. Don't worry, Daozhang Lu, Ji Mian, I will definitely win it tomorrow!" Zhuo Li was eager to give it a try.
Several people walked along the main street and soon found a hotel they liked.
"How long do you gentlemen plan to stay?" the beautiful half-cat man greeted sweetly.
Her face is almost the same as that of a human, with only a layer of undetectable fuzz on her fair skin.
She has a graceful figure and a pair of cat ears on her head that occasionally twitch, making her look naughty and agile.
"Go ahead, it's the real cat lady!" Zhuo Li's eyes shone brightly, and he made a sound of swallowing saliva from his throat.
"Be more reserved." Ji Mian kicked Zhuo Li's calf.
Zhuo Li immediately hit back:
"Ji Mian, you slutty coward, don't think I don't know. In college, you hid a bunch of pictures of cat maids in your advanced mathematics books."
"This, how do you know this?" Ji Mian was shocked, as if he had reacquainted himself with his good friend.
"Do you think the picture album I shared with you has a cat maid in every issue? I originally planned to invite you to open a cat maid cafe after graduation, but I didn't expect you to meet Xiuxian."
"But it's okay, there will be a real cat maid in the future! Hehe."
The cat lady in the hotel couldn't understand what the two guests in front of her were talking about, so she could only keep an awkward but polite smile.
"Three rooms for two nights."
Lu Qing took out the shell and said.
"Okay. Here are the extra shells." Catwoman boss said.
"Excuse me, is there a shop selling black grass near here? It's best if it's a hundred years old." Lu Qing asked.
Tang helped them predict the future several times, and they suffered a lot of mental trauma.
Coincidentally, in Lu Qing's Immortality Sutra, there is a spiritual elixir that can be refined during the Qi refining period. Currently, the only thing missing is Wu Bao Cao.
"Century-year-old ebony grass is quite rare. However, a store has recently opened in the city, and it must be sold there!" Catwoman's boss said with certainty.
Lu Qing came alone to the store Catwoman's boss mentioned.
It's not that far, just over 100 meters away from the hotel where they stayed.
"Lena's cabin."
Lu Qing looked at the sign above his head and then at the closed store door with a puzzled look on his face.
Why is it closed in broad daylight?
"Just here?"
asked the bearman who was sitting on the ground scratching lice.
Lu Qing nodded.
"Just wait honestly. The door may open later, or it may be a long time later." The bear man said.
"Is there any business like this?"
Lu Qing looked around and found that there were a bunch of people sleeping, rubbing their backs, meditating, and waiting in front of the store.
"Oh, what can I do? Many medicinal herbs are sold only here. If you can afford the price, you can even take away some legendary spiritual herbs!"
"Yes. The Mountain King once bought a large red blood grass here, and his cultivation level improved greatly!"
Are all the mountain kings here to visit?
Lu Qing heard from the tribe leader Qi that the mountain king's strength was in the foundation building stage!
Who is the person behind this Lena cabin?
Lu Qing was originally puzzled that with the rude temper of the monsters, they would wait peacefully outside the door.
Now it seems that the shop owner must have an unfathomable level of cultivation, and those who were rude before were punished.
Lu Qing sighed helplessly, cast a spell to attract a gust of wind, blew the ground clean, and sat cross-legged on it.
Suddenly, a young man walked to the door of the store.
He looked up at the sign, turned the doorknob, and walked into the store.
"The shop owner is back?"
Lu Qing asked the bear man next to him doubtfully.
"I'm not back." The bear-man scratched his head, his dark eyes also full of doubts.
"The shop owner is a girl, not as tall as him. Is the shop already open?"
The bear man stood up and turned the doorknob like the boy before him.
Snapped!
Purple thunder and lightning directly covered his body, and all the fur on the bear man's body turned into ashes, and he fell straight to the ground.
Lu Qing's brows jumped, and she quickly pulled him over, checked his nose, and felt relieved.
Still a little angry.
Chapter 159: Mountain King City
