"...Zhao Ning."
Suddenly, a distant and vague call came to Zhao Ning's ears.
She turned around suddenly and searched the void of the universe, but could not find the source.
"Auntie, what's wrong?" Shang Xia asked from the side.
Zhao Ning's eyes flashed slightly, she suppressed the sudden emotions in her heart, shook her head, and just said "nothing".
Shang Xia didn't ask any more questions, "Then let's follow him quickly. Venerable Hongde seems to be waiting for us."
Not only Lord Hongde, but also Tinglan and Yanran were waiting on the stairs.
They followed Venerable Hongde to the highest point and saw a round platform less than ten feet square. There were ruins of buildings scattered on the round platform, and only nine stone pillars were barely standing.
Each stone pillar is glowing with fluorescence, and there are ancient thunder patterns flowing in series on the surface, reaching to the top, echoing each other, forming a blue and transparent light curtain.
But I heard Venerable Hongde say with his hands behind his back, "Beyond the scene is the ruins of time."
Chapter 314
Venerable Hongde said, and for a moment, everyone didn't know whether to marvel that the time ruins were similar to the starry sky, or to be confused about how they could say they saw the time ruins now when they were in the seventh heaven just now.
Venerable Hongde knew everyone's confusion.
He looked at the starry sky with his hands behind his back. The universe was vast and boundless. He said nothing and everyone just followed to observe the scene in the starry sky.
At this moment, a blazing white shadow suddenly appeared outside the curtain. It was a demon in the realm of Yuanshen.
Everyone gathered together in an instant. They were still afraid of the Demon and Demon. However, they found that these venerables were not as nervous as before when they faced the Demon and Demon.
Everyone just waited for a moment, watching the blazing demon rushing towards the curtain in a twisted shape. The next moment, they saw that its figure was even more twisted, and the light from his tail twisted and converged backwards. As if swallowed by darkness, the blazing white demon disappeared in front of everyone.
"What's going on?" someone asked in shock. They could not sense the trace of the demon at all. The piercing threat completely disappeared. Their eyes fell on the venerable in front of them. The venerables were also watching this scene. .
Han Yu murmured, "Is this the chaos in Shixu?"
He spoke vaguely, but no one understood what he meant.
Xiang Hongxuan asked, "Didn't that demon exist just now?"
No matter how powerful it is, it is impossible to disappear in an instant before their eyes. With the experience of the demon Mozu, they subconsciously believe that this demon may be just an afterimage.
Unexpectedly, Venerable Hongde shook his head, "No, it has always existed, but it just entered other time and space in the moment."
It was clear that Venerable Hongde spoke straightforwardly, but the words seemed to be incomprehensible together.
Zhao Ning asked, "We have not sensed any law fluctuations. Has the power of Shixu been activated?"
Aoki said that the time ruins divide the sky void into different time and space. So, what Venerable Hongde means is that at the moment when the demon attacked, who knows what kind of power touched the time ruins, they were instantly teleported to Other times and places have gone.
Zhao Ning originally thought it was the effect of the curtain, but it was obviously not the case.
Venerable Hongde said, "There are endless time and space nodes in the time ruins. Once touched, they will be transported to other time and space."
He turned to look at Zhao Ning, "Therefore, you won't feel the fluctuation. You just need to know that he was swallowed up by the time and space node. He is not in our time and space at the moment. Of course, he may touch it again in its time and space." At a certain time and space boundary point, this node may be our current moment, and it is also possible for him to be teleported here again."
"However, the chance of this is very small, even slimmer than the beginning of the world."
Everyone looked at each other. In this theory of time and space, there was confusion, shock, and confusion, but mostly fear.
If the time and space boundaries in Time Ruins are everywhere at this time, and there are no fluctuations whenever they are touched, then can they really find the passage to Jiuzhou in Time Ruins by crossing time and space?
At this moment, Zhao Ning felt the difficulty. At the same moment, she also felt the solemnity that the other sages looked at her, as if to say, "Zhao Ning, after entering this scene, everything else can only rely on your respect for the way of heaven." Perception.”
Zhao Ning felt heavy pressure for a moment, but she was not afraid. She looked at the starry sky. Sure enough, the starry sky at this moment had changed from when she first stepped into this place.
After everyone calmed down slightly, Venerable Hongde said, "The next road depends on you. I will tell you what I know as much as possible."
Han Yu looked outside the big curtain and could see the shadows of some demons flickering in and out, and the eyes of many demons flashing across the starry sky.
He asked in a low voice, "Are all these coveting things outside blocked by this curtain?"
Venerable Yeliang said, "It should be the three giants controlled by Haochu and the others that played a role."
Venerable Hongde turned his head and said to Han Yu, "The seventh heaven should be the four major statues. These four statues are the most important barriers to the ninth heaven. They support this area. It is estimated that one of the statues is The sudden collapse caused the barrier here to shatter, causing more and more demons to invade in the past hundred years."
For Jiuzhou Venerable, every trip to the ninth heaven is a huge drain. There is no need to worry about the existence of the four major statues when going to the third heaven. Moreover, they have no way to guarantee whether they can fully survive in this world where demons are everywhere. Shield the influence of demons.
Therefore, the general venerables guard the last layer of barrier in the Heavenly Palace. Only during the period of time and ruins, after sufficient preparation, will they enter the Nine Heavens.
"The seventh heaven supports the barrier?" Han Yu frowned, "What about the eighth heaven? Since you stepped here, you have never mentioned the eighth heaven. For the time being, I count this place as the ninth level of collapse. Chongtian. So what happened to the eighth heaven, which was also lost in the ruins of time?"
Venerable Haochu shook his head, "Perhaps there was an eighth heaven in the nine heavens in ancient times when it was still the realm of the gods, but since ancient times, as the road to the ruins of time, the eighth heaven here did not exist, just like You said it, it seems like you were suddenly separated from the seventh heaven and the ninth heaven."
Only then did everyone understand why Venerable Hongde kept saying that the seventh heaven was the core of the resistance of the ninth heaven.
The ninth heaven is like a ruins of Guanxu, named Guixu Platform, but the eighth heaven does not exist, and the seventh heaven naturally supports the frontline barrier.
Zhao Ning asked, "Does Venerable Hongde know what the function of the eighth heaven was in ancient times?"
Venerable Hongde didn't know much, he only said, "I heard a long time ago that the eighth heaven is the passage to another world."
"The big world?" Xiang Hongxuan asked doubtfully. He had never heard of such a statement before. Zhao Ning had received advice from Qingmu before, and now he had a little idea of the big world.
She lowered her eyes and said nothing, just watching the changes in the stars in the sky. The twinkling demon eyes sometimes existed and sometimes disappeared. Obviously, there were a large number of demons in different time and space throughout the time ruins, but fortunately they did not As the curtain approaches, these time points have protected the fragile Kyushu to some extent.
Venerable Hongde's introduction to the big world was similar to Aoki's. After everyone listened, a thought passed through their minds - the eighth level of heaven is probably also part of the ban.
As a result, everyone looked even more depressed.
Venerable Hongde looked at them and saw their performance in his eyes. Although he was sad, he could truly be the "seed" of Kyushu if he could share the sorrow with Kyushu.
He looked at these monks who were not at a high level. Venerable Hongde knew that they would face huge threats when they went to Jiuzhou. They might be just insignificant ants to the cultivators of Jiuzhou.
But it is this insignificance that allows them to hide in Jiuzhou, and then gradually grow up with their qualifications, hoping to finally connect with Jiuzhou.
Venerable Hongde looked kind and solemn. He spread his hand and crossed the air. There were fifteen strange stones hovering in the air. The stones were inlaid with ancient and mysterious runes.
Zhao Ning had seen... the time and space beacon under the cold pool of the Extremely Cold Palace.
"This is the time and space beacon." Venerable Hongde said, "You can use this to punch your aura into the time and space beacon, which may be your last retreat."
Everyone hesitated, but then listened to his addition.
"He can guide the direction of Kyushu."
Xiang Hongxuan stepped forward and took out a spell. The green and white brilliance was injected into the first time and space beacon, but he saw the light swimming on the time and space beacon, gradually showing his message.
"Xiang Hongxuan, the Purple Flame Sect of Chiyang Cultivation World in Kyushu."
Zhan Xuexuan also stepped forward, "Zhan Xuexuan, Jiuzhou Chengxuan Cultivation Realm Jihan Sect."
The same goes for Zhao Ning, "Shen Zhao Ning, Qingxiao Sect of Kunxu Cultivation World in Kyushu."
The remaining seeds selected by the Jindan Master are engraved with information in sequence.
"Shang Xia, Qingxiao Sect of Kunxu Cultivation Realm in Kyushu."
"Shi Lei, Qingxiao Sect of Kunxu Cultivation Realm in Kyushu."
"The Wuyun Sect of Kyushu Chengxuan Cultivation Realm travels south."
"Ye Yu, Tianyang Immortal Sect of Chiyang Cultivation Realm in Kyushu."
"...Bianzhou Cultivation Realm Sword Emperor Sect Duan Jin."
"...Chen Jiuyue, Yangling Sect of Chiyang Cultivation Realm."
"...the White Halberd of Daxuan Mountain in the Netherworld of Cultivation."
"...Meng Congyi from the Xuanyin Sea."
"...Yanran."
"...Ting Lan."
Each piece of information is like a pioneer order engraved on a time and space beacon.
Venerable Hongde turned to the two Venerables and said, "You should also engrave it."
When the two inject their own information into it.
Venerable Hongde looked at these time and space beacons, his eyes flickering slightly, with expectations, worries, and hesitations in his expression, but in the end he put the time and space beacons away without saying anything more.
Han Yu asked, "Can this time and space beacon allow us to sense the direction of Kyushu in the time ruins?"
Venerable Hongde hesitated for a moment, "Maybe, maybe not."
This vague statement made everyone feel a little uneasy.
"If you and Kyushu are in the same time and space, you will naturally be able to sense the location of the time and space landmarks. But..."
Venerable Hongde looked solemn, "The moment you leave the curtain and enter the time ruins, your time and space are no longer the same as those of Kyushu. Maybe you are in a time and space tens of thousands of years later, maybe before. Or maybe you are in a time and space tens of thousands of years later. , that time and space are the boundaries of the Dayan without Kyushu, or maybe there are Kyushu but without your time and space landmarks."
This statement made everyone uproar. Does this mean that after walking out of this big curtain, they will never come back?
They subconsciously looked up at the starry sky, but still couldn't connect the starry sky with the terrifying and unpredictable Shixu.
But they also saw several demons that were suddenly swallowed up near the curtain, and everything seemed to overlap again.
However, before they could say anything more, they suddenly discovered that a demon had escaped the time and space node and hit the curtain.
The curtain suddenly became turbulent.
It was a seven-colored demon. His body was twisted in various colors, and his shape was like a huge toad. It crawled on top of the curtain, and its sticky brilliance seemed to merge with the curtain. That's when the real trouble started.
The demon lowered his head slightly, and his compound eyes reflected their distorted appearance, as well as the lines of the formation hidden in the darkness.
Its belly heaved, and a long scarlet tongue suddenly poked out, entering the formation without any hindrance.
"Not good!" Venerable Ye Liang shouted loudly.
He cast his spell and appeared in front of everyone. He pinched the spell with both hands and raised it high. The seal rushed out and blocked the top of his head, entangled with the long scarlet tongue.
But after resisting for a moment, the scarlet long tongue invaded again like nothing.
Zhao Ning stared at its eyes, and at this moment, she finally noticed something strange. The lines in its eyes were formation runes, but its long scarlet tongue cleverly avoided those dense and complicated lines, so that it could easily avoid them. Open the barrier.
At this moment, Han Yu pinched out the spell, a ray of light flashed in his hand, and a huge wind claw appeared in the void, suddenly tearing through the long scarlet tongue.
The long scarlet tongue suddenly felt pain, and it was retracted by conditioned reflex.
