Somewhere in an unknown area, a huge mountain thousands of feet high stands tall. The mountain is extremely steep and steep. The entire mountain is composed of blue and black boulders. The middle is divided into two miraculously, splitting all the way to the foundation of the giant mountain, forming a huge natural canyon.
What's even weirder is that the two halves of the mountain are actually wrapped in red and blue lights, making them appear eerie and mysterious when viewed from a distance.
At this time, at the entrance of the canyon, there were fifty or sixty monks in different clothes sitting quietly and waiting. From time to time, they turned their heads and looked in the direction of the canyon, with expressions of expectation and faint fear.
At the edge of the corner, the white-haired old man suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky, and said with some confusion:
"It's so late. Everyone who should be there has arrived, but that kid hasn't shown up yet. Could there be something wrong?"
"All the Yuanying-stage old monsters from both good and evil paths are here, no one can threaten him." A thin middle-aged man beside him whispered back, and then let go of his consciousness to sense carefully, and suddenly , suddenly his eyes flashed and he said,
"It's already here, more than a hundred miles away."
"It's okay." The old man with white hair obviously felt something, and then he felt relieved.
The thin man also withdrew his consciousness, and suddenly glanced in the direction of good and evil, and then said through a message,
"Looking at this situation, both the good and the evil are plotting against the Xutian Cauldron."
"It's just wishful thinking. If the Xutian Cauldron is really so easy to obtain, why would it be their turn?" The white-haired old man sneered, obviously not optimistic about it.
"According to the investigation, Wan Tianming obtained a lot of golden cicadas, and it may be possible to succeed. Moreover, even if he cannot obtain the treasure tripod, getting some powerful treasures from them will be a big trouble.
In short, this matter must be guarded against, but the extremely sinister old monster originally prepared two alien fire pythons, which are the hope of the demonic side, but unfortunately..." The thin man smiled, but there was a trace of ridicule in his eyes, and in an instant he Pass away.
Without the Jiyin old monster, the Demonic Way naturally has no possibility of obtaining the Xutian Cauldron. But at this time, it is too late to give up and return, so we can only bite the bullet and continue to move forward.
As expected by the man in black robe, the several Nascent Soul stage monks on the demonic side at this time all looked solemn. Jiyin Ancestor has not returned yet, and the three of them instinctively have an ominous premonition in their hearts.
The three of them, headed by Man Beard, kept discussing in low voices.
"Someone attacked you? Who is it? Is it the guys from Zhengdao, or the two old guys from Xinggong?" Suddenly hearing the story of the old man in Confucian clothing, Man Beard was stunned and immediately asked in a deep voice.
"I don't know either." The old man in Confucian clothing shook his head slightly and continued,
"The opponent's face was covered, and they separated after only a few rounds. Moreover, the opponent seemed to be deliberately concealing it. The methods and magic weapons he used were very unfamiliar, and I couldn't guess it."
"According to what fellow Taoist said, we were originally going to chase Ji Yin. We don't want to be attacked by strangers on the way. Doesn't it mean that the other party is very likely to take action against Ji Yin?" The beautiful woman in the white dress beside her analyzed her bright eyes slightly.
"This..." After hearing this, the old man in Confucian clothing suddenly changed his expression. Thinking about it, it was really possible, but he was just running away at the time and did not think about this level.
"So, isn't that Jiyin guy a bad guy?" Barbarian Beard frowned, turned his head and glanced at several figures not far away, with a cold look in his eyes.
Although he has nothing to deal with Ji Yin, at least here, the two sides are an alliance of interests. If something happens to the other party, it won't do him any good.
He's doing better, he has enough strength to rely on and doesn't worry about his own safety. Although the old man dressed in Confucianism was worried, he had no intention of giving up. He would naturally continue to struggle as his life was short.
Only the beautiful woman in the white dress was the most troubled. At this time, she was already regretting it. If she had known that this would be the case, she should not have agreed to the invitation before.
It's good now, it's too late to regret it.
Not only the three demon cultivators, but also the three Nascent Soul stage monks from the righteous path also looked at each other with confusion in their hearts.
Something happened to the extremely sinister old monster? Otherwise, why haven't you shown up yet? As for giving up entering the inner hall and returning to the safe area, that was obviously impossible. The other party had prepared two alien fire pythons for this operation, and they also knew this information.
The three of them knew very well that they had not done anything, and if something really happened to the old monster Ji Yin, there was a high probability that it would be inseparable from the two old guys from Xing Gong.
When they thought of this, the three of them suddenly became vigilant.
…
Three rays of light came from far away and flew straight to the ground.
Looking at the many waiting monks in front of him and the huge motionless canyon, Mo Juren felt relieved. He had spent a lot of time going around in circles and fighting with the Jiyin old monster, plus looking for the elixir.
Fortunately, I hurriedly hurriedly and finally didn't miss it.
The appearance of the three people naturally attracted the attention of many people. When they found out that they were just three monks in the alchemy stage, they just glanced at them and stopped paying attention.
Mo Juren didn't pay attention and took the two of them to sit down directly and waited quietly.
He did come a little late. In just over half an hour, the direction of the giant mountain changed.
The red and blue light shields on the left and right halves of the mountain suddenly shone brightly. At the same time, two narrow passages opened under the mountain wall near the entrance amid a sudden tremor.
Obviously, this is the entrance to the canyon, and there are two stone tablets in front of them, with the names 'Xuanjing Road' and 'Lava Road' engraved on them.
As soon as the passage was stable, impatient people immediately took action and walked in first.
Naturally, there are also some who are cautious, probably because they understand the horror of the Ice and Fire Dao, so they are a little hesitant. However, now that you have made the choice to come here, you can't regret it. After hesitating for a moment, you also stepped into it.
As time goes by, more and more monks choose to enter.
Mo Juren and the other three were no exception. After getting up, they walked directly towards the entrance of the 'Lava Road'. For him, it didn't matter which one he chose. No matter whether it was extremely cold or hot, it had no effect on him.
The reason why we chose 'Lava Road' is also very simple. Firstly, we are familiar with it and know what kind of trouble we will encounter there; secondly, it is because of Han Li. Due to his reminder, the other party purchased a lot of magic weapons in advance. And they are all designed for hot environments.
In this case, he naturally made such a choice. As for Xu Qingcheng, as a Yuanying stage monk, he didn't even care.
The lava road is indeed not easy. As soon as they approached the entrance, a rolling heat wave hit them. The temperature was far higher than expected. Han Li on the side suddenly became thirsty.
Seeing this situation, he no longer dared to worry about it, and immediately took out an ice blue bracelet and put it on. In an instant, a layer of transparent light emerged, completely covering the body, and a cooling feeling spread throughout the body.
"The environment inside will be even worse, so be prepared." Mo Juren smiled and then took the lead in walking towards the entrance. Seeing this, the two people behind him immediately followed closely.
The interior of the passage is not very wide, only about two feet high, but a dazzling red light is faintly visible in the depths of the line of sight, which is a bit shocking.
As it goes deeper, the temperature in the surrounding air rises sharply. At this moment, Mo Juren's physical body was strong and impervious to cold and heat, and he could also feel a hint of heat.
Of course, this amount of heat is nothing to the opponent, and it doesn't even use mana.
In contrast, even Xu Qingcheng had to emit body-protecting spiritual light in order to resist the scorching heat.
Han Li frowned even more. He could feel that if the temperature continued to rise like this, he might not be able to survive for long with just this ice bracelet.
Sure enough, when the three of them walked to the end of the passage, they passed through a red wall of light and instantly entered a world of high temperature.
At that moment, the heat wave that had disappeared surged in again, and the transparent mask around Han Li suddenly began to shake, apparently unable to hold on any longer. Fortunately, he reacted in time and quickly input a burst of mana to temporarily stabilize himself.
At the same time, his hands flashed one after another, and several magic weapons of different shapes emerged, each one exuding the ultimate chill.
After he finished putting on his clothes and felt the coolness returning again, Han Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, he couldn't help feeling a little emotional, he was still too far behind. Look at the master, he still has no magic power, and he can survive just by relying on his strong physical body.
In this regard, even Xu Qingcheng couldn't do it. There was unconcealable envy and curiosity in Mo Juren's eyes.
Yes, she had long been interested in the terrifying body of the person in front of her, and had even asked about it more than once. Unfortunately, the other party just smiled and said nothing every time, with no intention of informing him at all.
She was naturally a little angry, but more importantly, she was depressed. This guy is too stingy. His own destiny is in his hands. He is not an outsider. How can he be so stingy?
There are many secret techniques for cultivating the physical body in the world of immortality, and she knows several of them herself. However, even those legendary top body refining techniques don't seem to be able to reach such terrifying strength?
When she was on Miaoyin Island, she had sparred with the opponent many times. Even the most powerful magic weapon in her hand could not break through the opponent's defense in a short period of time.
What a monster!
She complained like this more than once, but it did not hinder the envy in her heart. If she could have such a powerful body, she wouldn't mind being a monster.
The temperature was too high, making the whole world feel turbid.
Mo Juren looked at the sky, and there was a red sun hanging above it. He didn't know how these ancient monks did it?
He turned around and looked around carefully again. All you can see are piles of rocks and some strange straight trees that are half a man tall. There is no way to go.
This aroused his interest. It was not simple that plants could grow in such a hot environment. These strange trees, and even the strange weeds emitting a strange red light in front of the sight, may have already reached the level of fire-attribute spiritual grass.
Of course, none of the monks who entered here paid attention to this. Maybe these spiritual herbs are not of great value, right?
"This is the Fire Origin Tree, a good fire-attribute spiritual plant. I didn't expect it to exist here." But at this moment, Xu Qingcheng suddenly said.
"Do you know this tree?" Not only Mo Juren, but Han Li on the side also turned to look. He is most interested in special spiritual herbs.
"These are just ordinary fire-attribute spiritual plants. They are widely distributed in quantity. Including the previous 'Fire Sword Grass', they are only used when refining some ordinary fire-attribute elixirs, and their value is not high." Xu Qingcheng said slightly. He nodded and explained.
However, Mo Juren and Han Li had strange expressions after hearing this. The extremely wide distribution mentioned by the other party must be referring to the ancient times, but this may not necessarily be the case now.
At least Mo Juren has never heard of these two spiritual plants, and there are no relevant records in the books about spiritual plants. It can be seen that this thing is most likely extinct.
After thinking about this, Han Li started digging trees without saying a word. Then he walked to the front and dug up a lot of the 'Fire Sword Grass' that exuded a strange red light.
This scene immediately made Xu Qingcheng dumbfounded.
"These two kinds of spiritual plants are not easy to cultivate. They must grow in such an extreme environment that contains abundant fire. Besides, there is no need to cultivate them specially..."
Speaking of this, she suddenly paused, then reacted and said,
"Aren't these two kinds of spiritual plants out there already extinct?"
"Absolutely, but maybe someone is interested in bringing them out for cultivation, but I've never heard of them." Mo Juren nodded.
"How can it be so easy to cultivate? Besides, it's of little value." Xu Qingcheng shook his head slightly, but obviously had no intention of collecting it.
But Mo Juren didn't mind it. Every time the resources needed to refine the bloodline, there would always be some strange and weird species, especially this long-extinct species, so he was definitely prepared.
Therefore, he also joined the mining bandwagon. It's true that I didn't do too much, just enough to use it, and Han Li had the same idea. Don't say it's low value, what if it's needed? There’s nothing wrong with collecting some, it’s just a casual thing anyway.
After a delay, the three of them determined the direction and continued moving forward.
Whether it is the lava road or another mysterious crystal road, they are all tests set by Xutian Palace. There are naturally rules in them. Once violated, after all, you will be severely punished.
For some monks who had done their homework in advance and understood the actual situation, they naturally did not dare to mess up in the slightest.
However, there are always those who are lucky, or in other words, those who do not know anything and try rashly without knowing anything. In the end, they can only live or die.
For example, you can't fly here, so you can only walk through the many dangers. And there are always some people who do not believe in evil. They thought that flying lower would not be a problem, but they were directly cut into charcoal by lightning.
Even if you follow the rules, that doesn't mean you're infallible. On the contrary, the subsequent tests will be more difficult than the last, and only a few can really persevere.
The first level is a large grassland, which contains countless "Fire Sword Grass". Not only does it have a terrifying high temperature, it is also as sharp as a sword. If you are not careful, you will be scratched.
This level is not bad, most people can pass it smoothly. However, the second level is different. It turns out to be a lava swamp covering an extremely wide area. It is full of dark pits filled with lava, which is extremely dangerous.
Unlike Mo Juren and Xu Qingcheng who were taking a leisurely stroll, Han Li was a little frightened. If the first two hadn't reminded him in time, he would probably have fallen in.
After finally crossing the lava swamp, the three of them entered a strange forest. There were a lot of fire-attribute monsters living here. When outsiders came in, they would naturally be attacked.
…
After the screening of these three levels, some monks who were not strong enough but had a sense of luck were basically finished, and only some of them actually passed successfully.
Even so, it is far from over. The endless black desert outside the strange forest is the real terror.
Black sand, black dunes, everything that comes into view is black, giving people an extremely depressing feeling.
