Chapter 63: Crystal Palace in the Volcano
On this island with a radius of thousands of miles, there are countless mountains and hills, and even small deserts and rolling icebergs. The most eye-catching one is the tall and majestic volcano in the center of the island!
The volcano is dark brown as a whole and is bare without a trace of green, so it is still very prominent even if it is surrounded by high mountains. Moreover, this mountain alone accounts for nearly one-tenth of the entire heart-shaped island. As you can imagine How huge it is!
"I think this volcano should be the core of the Great Immortal Cave Mansion. I'm afraid all the people from the four major forces are here!" In the sky, Zhou Hao and Su Qing had already flown to the vicinity of the huge volcano with their swords.
Seen from a close distance, the mountain is straight and tall, with no edge visible at all. It looks like a prehistoric beast standing on the earth. Its majestic and majestic momentum is amazing!
"When I came here, I saw many figures flying towards the crater, but at that time I sensed your aura at the seaside, so I didn't go to the volcano." Su Qing looked at Zhou Hao and said with a smile.
"So that's it. Senior sister, you are too kind to me, and you still want to find me! I feel ashamed to death when compared with you." After hearing this, Zhou Hao felt a look of shame on his face. Because he remembered what happened not long ago when he and Wu Gui were lying on the golden beach enjoying sunbathing. At that time, he had long forgotten about finding Su Qing!
"What are you ashamed of?" Su Qing looked confused.
"No... nothing... that's what... I just feel that the senior sister is too considerate!" Zhou Hao looked at the beautiful senior sister in front of him and laughed dryly, feeling like he wanted to dig a crack in the ground and crawl in.
"Okay, let's go to the crater quickly. We have to hurry up!" In order to avoid embarrassment, Zhou Hao quickly changed the subject.
"Okay!" Su Qing nodded.
There is no thick smoke here in the crater, but it is surrounded by an invisible heat flow barrier. Birds in the sky will stay away from it when they come here, and they dare not approach this area at all, because this barrier can burn even mountains. Zhou Hao and Su Qing didn't know that before them, there were two or three disciples of the four major forces who were directly burned into steam by this heat because they didn't know the situation!
Looking at the nearby crater, Zhou Hao and Su Qing wanted to go in directly, but they stopped almost at the same time because the volcano in front of them was too unusual. First, they thought it was the Daxian Cave. The core is, secondly, the scene above the crater is very strange.
Above the crater, the void is almost transparent, like glass, and reaches high into the sky. The surrounding clouds are dense, but there is nothing in this area. Looking up at the sky, one can see a huge vortex of clouds corresponding to the crater. The center of the vortex is hollow and transparent, which surprised Zhou and Su.
"There are restrictions on the crater!" Zhou Hao and Su Qing blurted out almost at the same time.
"That's true. How can it be so simple here? It seems like it will take a lot of effort to get in!" Zhou Hao said with a smile.
At this time, the turtle suddenly poked its head out of Zhou Hao's arms. It seemed a little anxious and looked at the crater with burning eyes. Then he shouted: "O good fortune, great good fortune!"
"Huh? What can you see?" Zhou Hao said with a look of disbelief.
"What's that look in your eyes? Are you looking down on Uncle Turtle?" Wugui turned to look at Zhou Hao.
"Then you should tell me about it!" Zhou Haopi smiled.
Without saying a word, the turtle climbed up Zhou Hao's upper body to his shoulders, then stood there looking at the huge crater in front of him and said: "If I read it correctly, this entire island is a great formation! And the eye of the great formation is this A volcano.”
"Big formation?" Zhou Hao and Su Qing exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
"Yes, and this formation is not ordinary. Based on my current ability to observe, this is a special formation that gathers the power of heaven and earth to provide the formation eyes!" Oogway's eyes narrowed, and his brain was working rapidly.
"What's so special?" Zhou Hao was puzzled.
Wu Gui rolled his eyes at Zhou Hao, looking like an idiot...
Fortunately, Su Qing explained in time: "Generally speaking, formations are either used to seal and suppress, or to defend against attacks. Of course, some are also used to teleport. But the holes of these formations are the weaknesses of the formation. Area is located, if someone breaks the formation eye, then the magic circle will also be broken. And Wugui said that this great formation is special because this formation absorbs the power of heaven and earth to provide a steady stream of energy for the formation eye. At this time, the formation Not only is the eye not a weak area, it is also the most terrifying restricted area. Once the formation is activated, the area where the eye is located will kill all outsiders!"
"Snap, snap, snap!"
After hearing what Su Qing said, Wu Gui nodded and clapped twice! Then he looked at Zhou Hao and said: "Look at it, look at it, this is the gap! I am confused, you are such an old man, why don't you know some common sense?"
"You..." Zhou Hao had black lines on his head, but he really didn't know how to refute Wu Gui.
And this kind of thing always gets darker and darker as it gets described. After thinking about it, Zhou Hao cut the turtle in half and said nothing more.
"I don't want to bring Uncle Turtle here yet. How can you venture into the Immortal Realm with such little experience? It seems that I will always be by your side from now on to help give you some advice. How about this? You worship me as your leader. Master!" Wugui lectured Zhou Hao as if he hated iron.
Su Qing on the side looked at the fist-high turtle standing on Zhou Hao's shoulders and constantly scolding Zhou Hao, and couldn't help but want to laugh.
Finally, Zhou Hao couldn't bear it any longer. He grabbed the turtle from his shoulder, pointed at it with his other hand and said, "You're still in high spirits, aren't you? I'll give you a chance to show off." Just pretend as hard as you can! I still worship you as my teacher, bah, just go ahead and dream about your spring and autumn dreams."
"I think we should hurry into the volcano!" Looking at these two living treasures, one big and one small, even Su Qing thought they were boring.
"Hmph, for the sake of the beauty, Uncle Turtle is not as experienced as you, little Haozi!" Although Wu Gui was held by Zhou Hao's hand, he didn't feel the slightest fear.
"Who are you calling a little mouse? Do I look like a mouse? What look in your eyes!" Zhou Hao originally didn't want to talk nonsense with Wu Gui anymore, but when Wu Gui opened his mouth, he felt unhappy again.
"What's your name?" Oogway said with a wicked smile.
"Zhou Hao!" Zhou Hao replied.
"That's right! Xiao Haozi is your nickname! I can't even guess this. It seems like you are still a stupid mouse!" Oogway laughed.
The corners of Zhou Hao's mouth twitched and he stared at Wugui blankly. Finally, he shook his head helplessly: "It's all my fault. If I had known you were coming, I should have prepared medicine for you in advance."
"Medicine? Why do you need to prepare medicine?" Oogway wondered.
"You have this disease and you can't stop taking the medicine!" Zhou Hao chuckled.
"Okay, little Haozi, how dare you call Uncle Gui a lunatic! I think you are looking for a kick again." Wu Gui suddenly understood the meaning of Zhou Hao's words and was about to kick him.
boom!
The turtle was standing on Zhou Hao's shoulders. At this moment, he exerted force with his feet and kicked hard. The latter immediately felt a powerful force acting on him, causing him to roll quickly towards the crater in front of him.
I have to say that the strength of this turtle is really great, not to mention that it came to the Immortal Realm through its own cultivation, and its original strength should be at the Golden Immortal Realm. However, for some unknown reason, it was not baptized by thunder when it came to the Immortal Realm, so it could not step into the Golden Immortal level. Now it is almost at the quasi-Golden Immortal level like Zhou Hao.
Palace Master Yunmiao and Elder Yunfang had doubts before, because this was too rare. If a living being who had cultivated from the mortal world had not survived the Golden Immortal Thunder Tribulation, it would be impossible for him to reach the Immortal Realm. Unless it has the help of a heaven-defying treasure, that kind of treasure is powerful enough to resist the power of the laws of the immortal and mortal worlds, and can force the mortal creatures to avoid the murder and come to the immortal realm! For example, Zhou Hao, an ordinary mortal like him, had no chance of entering the Immortal Realm. However, the Flying Immortal Stone was too mysterious and could deceive the heavens. Zhou Hao did not suffer any hardship in the process of entering the Immortal Realm. The suffering in the Heavenly Monument in the Immortal Realm is just for the sake of improving one's physique and becoming an immortal!
But Oogway obviously has no heaven-defying treasure, but there is no thunder disaster for him to survive. This is very strange! Palace Master Yunmiao's final guess was that the turtle might have shocking origins. Maybe it wasn't a mortal creature, but was originally from the fairy race in the fairyland.
In short, the life experience of the turtle is a mystery!
"Ah! You despicable little turtle, I am your master, and you dare to kick me!" Zhou Hao shouted, seeing that he was about to throw himself into the volcano, but he couldn't stop himself at all.
With a whoosh, a figure in white flew across the sky. He stretched out his bare hands and grabbed one of Zhou Hao's legs, and then finally stopped his progress at the moment when Zhou Hao's head was about to come into contact with the edge of the crater. .
"Zhou Hao, are you okay?" Su Qing asked worriedly.
"How unreasonable, I have to peel your shell off... Huh? What is that!" Just when Zhou Hao was about to get angry, he was suddenly attracted by the scene in front of him.
In the sky, Zhou Hao was kicked out by a turtle and stopped at the edge of the crater in a 45-degree inverted position. One of his legs was tightly dragged by Su Qing!
But at this moment, Zhou Hao saw a shocking scene from the edge of the crater: wasn't there a billowing flow of lava inside the volcano?
Being so close to the volcano, Zhou Hao's scalp was about to be burned, but it was precisely because of this that he saw the true situation inside the volcano!
A palace, a huge palace made of crystal, stands like this inside the volcano. It is crystal clear, with soft light flowing through it, and it looks very much like the Dragon Palace in mortal mythology - the Crystal Palace!
"This..." Zhou Hao was so surprised that he was speechless.
Seeing this, Su Qing asked softly: "What's wrong? Did you find anything?"
"It's really a blessing, a great blessing!" Zhou Hao came out of shock and started laughing.
"Did you see something inside the volcano?" After hearing Zhou Hao's words, the turtle's eyes immediately lit up. When he kicked Zhou Hao just now, it jumped on Su Qing's shoulder.
"It's a crystal palace. I think it's probably a Dragon Palace!" Unable to bear the terrifying heat, Zhou Hao quickly stood upright and stood with Su Qingwugui in the sky far away from the crater.
"It's scalding me to death, it's scalding me to death..." Zhou Hao rubbed his scalp and shouted.
"Crystal Palace? There is a Crystal Palace in the volcano?" Su Qing and Wugui exclaimed at the same time.
"Yes, it's amazing!" Zhou Hao nodded.
Although they are near the crater now, they cannot see the situation inside the volcano. If Zhou Hao hadn't been kicked by the turtle and hit the edge of the crater just now, they would never have known that there was such a miracle!
"But having said that, the temperature of the crater is too high. Even with my strength, it is unbearable to get close to the edge. I'm afraid it will be troublesome to enter the interior of the volcano!" Zhou Hao shook his head while looking at the magnificent volcano.
"This volcano is the eye of the entire formation, and the temperature inside is definitely not something ordinary immortals can withstand." Oogway said seriously.
"If you want to go in, it seems that you still have to think of a foolproof strategy. We must take care of the three of us. We must be able to move freely inside the volcano!" Su Qingdai frowned lightly, and there was light in her beautiful eyes.
In this way, the two of them were thinking about how to enter the volcano!
After pondering for a long time, Zhou Hao finally seemed to have thought of something and said: "I have a treasure, I want to try it out!"
When Su Qing Wugui heard this, he immediately turned his attention to Zhou Hao. The latter spread his hands flat, and saw a ray of light shining on his hand. There was a dark stone slab in his hand. The stone slab was as big as a washbasin, and the surface was very rough. .
"Even though it doesn't look very good, this is a sacred stone that brought me from the mortal world to the fairyland!" Zhou Hao said proudly.
"What did you say? This broken stone took you to the fairyland?" Oogway exclaimed.
"Can you speak? If you can't speak, don't speak! What is a broken stone slab? This is a sacred stone!" Zhou Hao said with a dark face.
"Huh? Look at its material, it's exactly the same as the stone tablet that the palace master used to exchange for us!" Su Qing recognized the stone slab at a glance.
Zhou Hao nodded, but immediately shook his head: "The materials are the same, so I am also confused. What is the connection between that stone tablet and this stone slab?"
The turtle looked at the slate and said: "Oh, you two, what's the use of a broken slate to study? Now we are going to seize the great fortune! A crystal palace, what a great fortune it is, hurry up, little Haozi Quickly use the broken stone to carry us in!"
"I really want to hit you with it!" Zhou Hao held the stone slab with both hands and stared at the turtle.
"If it's not a broken stone slab, prove it to us!" Wugui pretended not to know what Zhou Hao meant and winked.
"You're still pretending to be confused! Say another word, little mouse, and I'll smash your turtle shell immediately!" Zhou Hao said, making a gesture of throwing a stone.
"Okay, okay, please stop saying anything. Let's use this stone slab to try entering the volcano first!" Su Qing said from the side.
"Huh!" Wugui turned his head away from Zhou Hao.
"Tch!" Zhou Hao turned his head at the same time.
Buzz!
The next moment, Zhou Hao urged his immortal power onto the dark stone slab. The latter vibrated violently and made a buzzing sound. Then mottled runes lit up all over the stone slab. Those runes were imprinted on the surface of the stone slab like golden flames. , the entire stone slab looks like a piece of divine gold, with bright golden light bursting out from the inside!
With a whoosh, Zhou Hao rushed under the crater with the stone slab in his hands. After a while, he rushed out again and said with a smile: "It turns out that only the crater has been banned. There is not such a terrifying high temperature inside the volcano!"
While crossing the crater, Zhou Hao saw a circle of water-like enchantments through the stone slabs. It was this enchantment that caused the terrifying sky-high temperatures, extending from the heart-shaped island into the boundless sky. All living things would perish if they touched it. !
At this time Zhou Hao came to Su Qing and said: "Su Qing, catch me, I will take you two in!"
Su Qing looked at Zhou Hao who hadn't moved. The latter was confused, and then looked at his hands and suddenly realized: "I'm sorry, it's like this. This stone slab must be held with both hands. Then you can do this, hook my hand Just one hand will do!”
Hearing what Zhou Hao said, a blush appeared on Su Qingying's pretty face. However, she was not a pretentious person. She nodded and did as Zhou Hao said.
Wu Gui stood on Su Qing's shoulder and said with a smile: "This is a good idea, you kill two birds with one stone!"
Zhou Hao pretended not to hear, and saw him standing at attention, not squinting, holding one of Su Qing's arms, holding the stone slab that looked like divine gold, and turned into a ball of golden light and flew into the crater!
