Chapter 2: Ascending the Immortal Platform
"It's so dark. Where is this?"
He couldn't see his fingers, and the sound of air currents was still echoing in his ears, but Zhou Hao could feel that he was being pushed towards the unknown by a force. The stone tablet with the word Immortal Realm engraved on it turned out to be a place similar to a portal. Device, it may be said that Zhou Hao is on his way to the fairyland!
In the endless darkness, the road ahead was unclear, and Zhou Hao's consciousness was gradually lost. He felt that his whole body was hot and cold, sometimes swelling and shrinking, and his blood flowed for a while and then froze. Several times, he almost felt that he was going to die. That kind of discomfort will be unforgettable for a lifetime.
"ah!"
In the black hole, Zhou Hao's body was constantly twitching and even deforming. It was an unbearable torture. Although he was now forty-seven years old, his body was still strong and he had no problem even going to the battlefield to kill the enemy. I was really helpless against this unprecedented torture. The screams were endless, and the sound gradually became quieter in the end, because he passed out, but his body had undergone earth-shaking changes in the darkness.
His whole body was covered in blood, his limbs and muscles had been severed, his facial features were blurred, and his body was a mess, as if he had been cut into pieces with a thousand knives. If someone saw Zhou Hao's appearance, he would definitely say: This person is completely dead. !
Time passed bit by bit, and it seemed impossible to discern the existence of time in the black hole, and Zhou Hao's pile of remains gradually became smelly and moldy. The white bone stubble and shriveled human skin were shocking, floating in the dark void tunnel. Zhongji moved forward at high speed until the white light symbolizing warmth and vitality appeared and shone on Zhou Hao's body.
The soft white light fell on every inch of Zhou Hao's body. In an instant, the bones and flesh were connected, the muscles and veins were reorganized, and the already dilapidated body came back to life, truly transforming decay into something magical.
Zhou Hao came to life!
At this moment, he slowly opened his eyes and found that the surroundings were completely transparent, with only white light shining around him, as if he was undergoing an examination.
What surprised him even more was that when he accidentally saw his hands, they were so smooth, delicate and white that he couldn't believe it. They were clearly the hands of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy just now, but now the owner of these hands It's actually myself.
"Ah? What's going on? My hands? My face, my body?" Zhou Hao looked at his hands tremblingly, then touched his face in disbelief, and found that his hands were tender and smooth. The clear-cut eyebrows and handsome face were conveyed to him through his fingers - he had regained his youth!
"This...is this considered rejuvenation? Have I really regained my youth?" I really couldn't believe what happened to me, but Zhou Hao couldn't help but not believe it.
The loose dragon robe and the strong and powerful body all told him that the fairyland really existed. He accepted the baptism of that stone tablet and gained a new body.
Buzz!
Finally, when Zhou Hao was still immersed in this incomparable joy, a golden symbol suddenly dropped from his head. These symbols all jumped into Zhou Hao's body densely. At this moment, he suddenly realized that he was as light as a swallow. , fluttering up, as if you can fly at will as soon as you lift your feet.
Then the golden symbols flowed out from the soles of his feet and returned invisible again. Zhou Hao felt back to normal, but his whole body was still full of energy. Not only that, he felt like his body was really reborn now. Every inch of muscle, every bone, every tendon and even every drop of blood seemed to be able to communicate. He could clearly feel every part of his body. changes. This was really an unprecedented feeling. Zhou Hao felt as if the soul and the body really resonated, or it could be said that he really felt like he had gained his soul.
The soul is ethereal and cannot be explained. This is an "advanced vocabulary" that only appears in the legends of gods and ghosts. Nowadays, Zhou Hao, a mortal, really has the right to control the soul. This sounds incredible, but it is a fact. Before his eyes, he couldn't help but believe it.
The next moment, a white light flashed, and the surrounding scenery changed drastically. Zhou Hao seemed to be pushed out of the transparent world. When he stopped, he found that he was already standing on a white cloud platform, and his eyes were filled with rolling clouds. and the Rainbow Bridge across the sky.
"Huh? There is a stone tablet there too." Zhou Hao glanced around and saw a white stone tablet standing in front of him, but this tablet was only one foot high.
"Ascending to the Immortal Platform!"
It was the same crimson font again, and Zhou Hao read the inscriptions on the tablet. But suddenly he became alert, because there were dozens of divine lights flying from the sky in the distance, all pointing here, and Zhou Hao felt that he seemed to be locked by them.
At this moment, the place where Zhou Hao was standing was also a cloud platform. The white floor was covered by hazy mist but it was not thick. It seemed like a station in the sky, although there was no one there.
"Hahahaha, as time goes by, someone in the mortal world has successfully ascended to this immortal platform. Fellow Taoists, don't you have the same purpose of this trip as me?"
In a ray of divine light, someone spoke first. It was an old man with white hair and white beard wearing a Tai Chi robe who came riding a crane. He was holding a whisk in his left hand.
"Fellow Taoist Yunfang, you are not particular about what you say. Thinking about the bitter cold land in the lower realm, where spiritual energy is thin and heavenly materials and earthly treasures are scarce, those who can ascend to the immortal realm must have unparalleled talents. No one in the immortal palace will be competing for such good materials and beauty. Where are you taking a disciple?" In another ray of divine light, an old woman riding a blue luan bird spoke.
"Hmph, I didn't expect you old guys to all come over. It just so happens that I'm waiting for someone to test my Eight Evil Fire God Kung Fu? Today we will have a competition. Whoever wins will take this boy away!" At this time, A rough voice resounded around the Immortal Platform like thunder.
The person who came was riding a black tiger. There were fiery red flames rising from the tiger's feet. It was really majestic. This person was wearing a fiery red robe, and even his hair looked like a ball of fluttering flames.
"Brother Chiyuan, I haven't seen you for a hundred years and you still have such a hot temper! I think even if you win today, this young man won't be able to accept having a master like you, right?" said the white-haired old man known as Yun Fang.
"Haha, seniors are polite. I am the Caijunzi of Caixiang Palace. It is a grand event for all the elders of our Sixteenth Immortal Palace to gather at the Immortal Platform today. Why do you need to get angry when you come up?"
Before the fiery-haired old man could answer, another person in the divine light came to the Immortal Platform. The person flew over on a white swan, but this person was different from those present except Zhou Hao. . This is a slender young man with a handsome face that is slightly pale. He is dressed in gold and green clothes and looks like a peerless god. There is also a beautiful woman standing beside the young man.
However, when they heard the words Caixiang Palace, everyone else was shocked. Some of them looked at the young man with contempt, some with indifference, and some with fear.
"Hmph, junior, so what about Caixiang Palace? I, Chixin Palace, have never been afraid of the other fifteen palaces so far? Don't think that it's great that your palace master is a member of the Five-Colored Peacock Clan. You, Caixiang Palace, love to do all those bad things. Just because others don't tell the story doesn't mean that others don't know. It really disgraces the face of the sacred peacock race." Unexpectedly, Chi Yuan directly pointed the finger at the extremely handsome young man Cai Junzi, who had a few cold gleams in his eyes but was very Good covers up the past.
"Senior Chi Yuan has misunderstood. This junior has only been practicing Taoism for 1,500 years, and all the elders present here are not celebrities who have been practicing Taoism for more than 3,000 years. How dare I, the junior, to conflict with the seniors by doing whatever they want? Gentleman Ruocai just offended him. Please forgive me, Senior Chi Yuan." Mr. Cai bowed his head and apologized sincerely.
"You don't need to be so courteous to me. I don't have time to talk to you." Chi Yuan looked down on Mr. Cai. Then he scanned the audience, a total of nineteen people. The next moment he spoke again: "This young man, I, Chi Xin, The palace is determined to win, if any of you fellow Taoists want to compete with me, let’s have a battle to determine the outcome.”
"Brother Chi Yuan, are you setting up a ring? If you are the first to defend the ring, you will be at a disadvantage." Yun Fang, the old man riding a crane, stood leisurely with a whisk in his hand.
"That's right, there is only one quota. The arena competition is unfair. I suggest that the eight palaces should fight against the eight palaces, and then compete further until the last one wins. What do you think?" The one who spoke was the old woman riding the blue Luan bird before.
"Senior, it's a good idea, but I want to state in advance that all the elders are peerless masters at the late Golden Immortal stage, and I have just entered the middle stage of the Golden Immortal stage, so I want to bring two early Golden Immortal stage companions as help. You should Don’t you object?”
At this time, Mr. Cai stepped forward and saluted everyone with a smile.
After hearing this, the more than ten elders present were surprised: I would have never expected that this gentleman has reached the middle stage of Golden Immortality after practicing Taoism for only fifteen hundred years. Most of them are over three thousand years old. Just now Mr. Cai said that they have practiced Taoism for more than three thousand years, but now it sounds like he is actually mocking their incompetence.
"Is it true that Caixiang Palace's talents are withering like this? Two female fairies will be sent to help in order to snatch apprentices?" Chi Yuan's temper was very hot. He glanced at the place where Mr. Caixiang was, his eyes full of disdain and disgust.
It turns out that Caixiang Palace was originally a fairy palace that only emerged in the past ten thousand years. It is said that the owner of the palace is a powerful immortal from the Five-Colored Peacock Clan. He has boundless magical power. His background alone makes many fairy palaces fear him. But this palace master is a "passionate" person. In the past ten thousand years, he has only recruited female disciples (unless they ascended from the mortal world). The purpose can be imagined. And the reason why there are male immortals like Caixiangzi in Caixiang Palace is that their fathers are undoubtedly the palace masters.
Not only that, the master of Caixiang Palace also asked his sons to practice double cultivation with the female disciples in the palace, or even practice three cultivations and four cultivations... practice more! In his words, it means picking up yin and supplementing yang, or picking up yang and supplementing yin. This practice is beneficial to physical and mental health and gets twice the result with half the effort.
Now these elders feel that the bastard theory of Master Caixiang may be right. Otherwise, who can explain how Mr. Caixiang can reach the middle stage of Golden Immortal at such a young age? Being able to reach the early stage of the Golden Immortal stage at the age of 1,500 years is already very impressive. Yun Fang and Chi Yuan were only at the early stage of the Golden Immortal stage at the age of 1,500 years. These two people are quite talented. .
In the end, everyone basically agreed to Junzi Cai's request, and a battle between dragons and tigers began here on the Immortal Platform!
The divine light bloomed, the fairy light was bright, and dozens of immortals rode their mounts to attack each other. A terrifying sword energy slashed down, and a huge gap appeared in the clouds like an earthquake. It was caused by the elder of the fairy temple using five fingers to draw The sword that cuts through the air is extremely powerful.
In an aerial war zone, a three-on-one drama was taking place. There was no doubt that Mr. Cai and the two female fairies were working together to attack an elder of the Immortal Palace. That elder was none other than Chi Yuan, who had an extremely hot temper. Chi Yuan originally wanted to compete with Yun Fang, but Cai Junzi specifically wanted to challenge him. How could Chi Yuan bear this tone? He thought Cai Junzi was Looking down on him.
The two most powerful among the elders present are definitely Yun Fang and Chi Yuan. Not to mention others, the realm of these two people is unmatched by others - the peak of Golden Immortal!
With such a high level of cultivation, what else does Chi Yuan have to fear?
"Baby, don't think that because you are the cub of that five-colored peacock, I will be afraid of you. No matter how good you pretend, you can't hide the evil intentions emanating from your bones. Take the move, the Eight Evil Fire God Kung Fu!"
Chi Yuan's hair danced wildly, like flames swaying. As soon as he made a move, he used his unique skills. Eight flags of different colors flew out behind him. Each flag was painted with a ferocious beast, as if it was an ancient and ferocious beast. Linxian Realm.
The big flag hunting sky was powerful, Chi Yuan drove the eight-pole flag and charged towards Cai Junzi and the other three people. At this time, the ferocious beast on the flag actually jumped out of the flag, and its whole body was wrapped in flames and was extremely ferocious.
"Ho ho ho!"
At this moment, the eight ferocious beasts appeared as if they were the mounts of the ancient god of fire, and they all roared and attacked Cai Junzi and the other three. The eight-pole flag blocked the retreat of the three people. The flag was already in flames. It turned out to be the eight-pole fire flag, which could summon the fire attribute energy in the fairyland. It was a rare five-element magic weapon.
Chi!
On the other side, Cai Junzi and the two female fairies took action at the same time, each holding a colorful feather fan in their hands. It was actually a fairy fan woven from the feathers of a five-color peacock, and there were three of them.
The three of them saw that the eight ferocious beasts were about to devour them, but they were not surprised. Almost at the same time, the three of them fanned at the ferocious beasts. In an instant, the whole sky was filled with strong winds, and three tornadoes swept across like giant dragons that connected the world. After ascending to the Immortal Platform, no matter how fiercely the eight-headed ferocious beasts burned, they were blown away for thousands of miles, while the Fire Order Flag was taken back by Chi Yuan in time.
"Damn it, little brat, you actually hid the murderous intention of the immortal in the colorful feather fan. It's really sinister. But my Eight Fierce Fire God Skills can't be defeated easily. Just watch!" Chi Yuan gasped slightly, The incarnation of the immortal's killing intent just now hurt him, but this aroused his hot temper even more.
For a moment, the battle started again. The Eight Fierce Fire God Skills were unleashed by Chi Yuan without any reservation. The entire sky was covered with a layer of red. There were heavy fire clouds, five-color divine light surging in all directions, and the combat power of the Golden Immortal level was completely suppressed. Mobilized.
On the Immortal Platform below, Zhou Hao was still standing blankly next to the stone tablet. The large dragon robe on his body made him feel very awkward, but what concerned him most now was naturally the wonderful fighting skills of the immortals in the surrounding halls.
"Oh my god! Immortals, immortals fight, all gods show off their magical powers, all for me? Oh my God, so... so happy!" Although the real mental age is forty-seven, after what happened just now The baptism of the Immortal Domain Stone Tablet seemed to have restored some of Zhou Hao's youthful nature.
However, just as Zhou Hao was watching the entire fighting scene with relish, a big white hand appeared from behind him without any warning and took him away.
"Um?"
"Um?"
"Um?"……
Several screams sounded at the same time, and everyone stopped fighting, because they had locked their consciousness on Zhou Hao while fighting, but now Zhou Hao had disappeared.
"Where is Yunfang?" Someone was the first to realize the crux of the problem.
"Damn it, it was that old fox who did it. I knew he was cunning but he was unprepared. How about we chase him?" Someone suggested.
"I can't catch up. I was left far behind by his speed magic when I was dueling with him just now. Only then did he have the opportunity to take action against the young man." The one who spoke was the old woman who was riding the blue luan bird before. Her name was Mu Heng is an elder of Mu Qi Palace.
"boom!"
A mountain-shaped white cloud suddenly turned into flames and flowed everywhere, like a volcano erupting. The one who took action was Chi Yuan. He was so angry just now that he directly hit the Eight Ominous Fire God Art, which caused such a loud noise.
Everyone knows that Yun Fang comes from Yunmiao Palace and is the younger brother of the palace master. His cultivation level is unfathomable. Some people speculate that he may have already half-stepped into the upper immortal level. And Yunfang's most powerful magical power is speed. Once he uses his extremely fast magic, almost no one at the same level can match him. He can be called a speed tyrant!
In the end, all the immortals on the Immortal Platform could only return to their respective halls dejectedly.
The white clouds are endless and the sky is vast. On the sky twenty thousand miles away from the Immortal Platform, a crane is flying forward leisurely, and two people are sitting on the back of the crane.
One has a white beard and white hair, an old man with an immortal air, and the other has a delicate face, a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old.
