At your feet are ancient rock formations deposited hundreds of millions of years ago. Those once towering trees have turned into coal under the precipitation of time. White bones are turned into stone, and residual wood is turned into carbon. Perhaps the flesh and blood we are born with is no different from the essence that makes up the entire world.
In these fifty years, the originally solid land was completely hollowed out. Such a huge project could only be accomplished by an emperor who combined the power of a country.
Everyone fell on the edge of this deep pit. In front of them were nine huge dried-up lakes. These lakes were arranged around a larger pit, and beside the lake, there was a group of people wearing clothes. The men in black robes were kneeling on the ground, their heads lowered and motionless, as if they were really waiting for their fate to be pronounced.
But the emperor, who came down with everyone, disappeared at this time.
"Qingya, there are people there, are they, are they still alive?"
Hua Qing'er also saw the people kneeling by the lake, and asked Qing Ya with a slight tremor in her voice.
"Last time in the underground of Qianqiu Palace, those who kidnapped the princess seemed to be wearing the same black robes. Who are they and who are they loyal to?"
No one could answer Qingya's question. In any case, Qingya still planned to step forward to find out.
At this time, Qiu Chiyu's weakness had been lifted to some extent. She raised her hand and waved, and a red rope was wrapped around Qingya's waist.
"Be careful, if anything happens, I will pull you back."
When Qing Ya approached, the men in black robes still didn't react at all. Qing Ya squatted next to one of them curiously, stretched out his hand and carefully took off the hood that the man was wearing.
In front of her was a woman in her early twenties. Her eyes were tightly closed and her face was pale, like a patient who had been tortured by a disease for a long time. Her left hand was connected with another man in black robe next to her.
Qingya could clearly hear that her heart was still beating. Not only her, but everyone kneeling here still had the characteristics of life.
Moreover, Qing Ya looked at the face of the woman in front of him and felt that she looked very familiar. As if to confirm his suspicion, he took off the hood of the person next to him whose hands were connected to his.
Although they have lost a lot of weight and their faces have become very weak, Qingya is still sure that they are the targets he has been looking for. Ye Zhongtao and Ning Tongyue, the couple, have also caused various incidents since Qingya arrived in Chang'an. the beginning of.
In the past few months, Qingya had been running around but could not find any trace of them. Today, he finally put an end to his worries.
Although the silent crisis still pervades everyone at this moment, no matter what today, Qingya will take these two people out alive and bring them back to her mother-in-law safely.
Not only them, but everyone alive here cannot die.
Living beings cannot be stored in the star field, but at this time they are already on the boundary between life and death, and they can just hide under the judgment limit of the star field, just like the original bird egg.
After opening the star field and absorbing all the men in black robes in front of him, Qingya came to the edge of the nine huge lakes and looked at the dry lake bottoms.
There were no rocks, no mud, and no aquatic creatures below. All Qingya could see were black robes piled high.
If a black robe can represent a person, countless lives have been swallowed up in these nine lakes.
On the wall of each lake, there is a relief sculpture of a giant beast. It seems that this is the birthplace of the nine ferocious beasts.
"Namo Amitabha Night, Duotagadu Night..."
Several people came behind Qingya and saw the traces of those people buried at the bottom of the lake. They were all sad about this. Zen Master Kong Shi recited the rebirth mantra to save them from reincarnation, but even Xie Linlan, who was used to seeing death, couldn't bear it. Xindi turned his face sideways.
No one knew what kind of expression he had behind the mask, but his right hand held the long knife tighter.
Years of battles and countless sacrifices were made so that the people of Fuxia could no longer live in fear and everyone could go to school and work with peace of mind. But now, there are still so many people whose lives have been taken away.
The source of the disaster in the emperor's mouth has been guarding Chang'an City, but the emperor who the people should have trusted has ruthlessly harvested their lives.
Who is the source of this disaster?
Just as everyone was moved by the scene, water emerged from the dry lake bottom again, but this time, it was all black water.
These colorless and odorless lakes quickly overflowed, but the water level stopped rising after touching the giant beast reliefs on the lake wall, and those reliefs soaked in black water also lit up with a silver light, even if It was clearly visible through the black water.
The black water in the lake has not completely calmed down. There are constant ripples on the lake, which means that the water below is still rising up. Where does the extra water go?
Qingya looked at the deep pit surrounded by nine lakes. It was so eye-catching that people noticed its existence at first sight.
But Qingya tried his best to ignore its existence because it was too weird.
I don’t know how far underground it is, but it can still extend further down at such a depth. This deep pit must be dug through the center of the earth.
Also, these nine lakes are the birthplace of the nine-headed giant beast. So what kind of things exist in the deep pit in the center of these nine lakes?
It wasn't until the sound of rushing water came that Qingya determined the direction of the water in the nine lakes. When he looked out from the edge of the pit, he still couldn't see the edge underneath, and the black water was flowing along the edge of the pit. The edges flow down.
An unknown summoning power rose in Qingya's body. Strictly speaking, it came from the star field.
Thinking of the black robes buried at the bottom of the lake, Qingya immediately understood that this force was driving the remaining survivors to continue to die. This made Qingya feel angry and decisively cut off the perception of the star field and the outside world. The summoning power was immediately cut off.
Seeing the life force in his hand fly away like this, a concussive roar immediately came from the bottom of the pit.
This sound is not the roar of dragons and tigers, nor the roar of wind and thunder, but it beats in people's hearts like a war drum. Qingya has never heard such a strange cry, and has not seen any relevant records in any classics. .
After several roars, a clear sound of footsteps came from under the deep pit, which seemed out of place in the silent underground. Everyone knew that the person coming at this time was an enemy rather than a friend.
“All the ascetics in the world have searched for heavenly secrets and developed their bodies to the extreme in order to become immortals, but who knows what kind of world it will be like after becoming immortals?
Even if the gods are as powerful as the gods in the sky, they will never be able to achieve true freedom and ease. As the saying goes, if you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening. Until now, do you still think that my goal is only to eradicate the sword of calamity? "
The person who climbed up slowly on the hanging ladder from the bottom of the pit was the emperor who fell down with everyone and disappeared.
There was still a scar between his eyebrows, but his expression was no longer as old as before, and had returned to the look of his prime.
In his hand was a piece of precious jade, which everyone could recognize at a glance as the symbol of power of emperors of all ages, the imperial seal.
After getting a trace of luck flowing from the core of the sky by chance, the emperor could no longer sit still. Just a trace of luck could support him to complete the creation of the Nine Evil Soul-Eating Array. If all the luck were used If it is completely for one's own use, wouldn't it be possible to directly transform it into a spiritual state?
For this reason, the emperor tried every means to unlock the seal of the Core of Heaven, but to no avail.
When Emperor Taiyi of the East gave this object to the First Emperor, it was to protect the long-term peace of the world. The seal of the core of heaven has never been opened. Only with the erosion of time can there be a possibility of leaking out.
But human nature is always greedy. After seeing the powerful power of luck, he, who was born with low talent for cultivation, began to dream that one day he would be able to descend to the divine world.
Immortality, this is something that everyone has dreamed of since ancient times. Isn't it just for this goal that countless ascetics continue to work hard?
After years of research, the seal of the core of the sky still cannot be unlocked, but the outer jade has been contaminated by the power of luck over thousands of years of accumulation.
For this reason, the emperor did not hesitate to use mysterious jade glass to make sharp blades, and extracted his life essence through his own blood essence to activate the divine power that penetrated the jade.
But he only knew one but not the other. The divine power remaining in the jade was extremely rare and could not be used at all. Even if he used other methods to forcibly activate this power, it would only bring about a short-term peak. When the divine power was exhausted, He too will die from exhaustion of life.
And the Emperor's Seal will no longer recognize its owner after the aura contaminated by it in the human world is washed away, and it will become uncontrollable.
Whether it is a blessing or a curse, it is also an unknown.
"Now, this is my first step on the path to God."
The emperor carved the broken dagger on the imperial seal. The blade could not leave scratches on it, but it could drip his longevity essence on the surface of the jade. The divine power in it was activated, and a white light flowed out from the imperial seal. It flowed into the wound between the emperor's eyebrows.
"Uh-huh~"
The emperor let out a painful groan, and his eyes were dyed by the white light, revealing a dazzling light. Now he looked a bit like Qing Ya when he was implanted with a needle.
Gradually, the emperor's entire body was surrounded by a white halo. Along with his ferocious laughter, white lines surged up and down his body, lifting his body up into the sky to a height of dozens of feet. Then it stopped.
The flow of white light became more and more violent, and the particles of light continued to split and increase, as if someone was using a paintbrush to outline the lines of a huge thing.
And as the brush continues to fall, after the outline is completed, large areas of brilliance are filled in, and a strange body is assembled.
