In the world of Niyue Palace, the shock and uproar caused by the light rising from the highest temple gradually subsided as time passed and as the door never opened.
The anticipation was gradually replaced by disappointment.
Even the light in the highest hall dimmed, leaving only a glimmer of light still shining, while regret spread in all directions.
"There is actually a legend that has been circulating in Niyue Palace."
"Legend has it that Red Moon and Red Mother once single-handedly cursed the predecessor of Niyue Palace, cursing it...that there would never be a new owner."
"So throughout the ages, the Supreme Temple's light has flashed many times and been shaken many times, but from beginning to end, its door has never been opened once."
The two deputy palace masters in mid-air sighed softly.
"This fellow Taoist passed the first level, but like the first deputy palace master, the fourth child, and me, we failed to pass the second level and couldn't open the door."
"It seems that we have another companion. It is also a good thing for us to have an additional deputy palace master at this time!"
When the two deputy palace masters were transmitting messages to each other, the monks in Niyue Palace were also sighing.
Although the emergence of a new deputy palace master is a huge encouragement to everyone, the shock in the highest temple at this time seems to have given everyone hope.
Especially in today's war period, this hope has made too many monks in the Counter-Moon Palace long for the emergence of a true master of the Counter-Moon Palace.
They need a palace master with such status to lead them to burst out their own brilliance at the last moment of their lives, burning the flame of life that destroys everything.
And after such hope turned into disappointment and regret, there was silence in Niyue Palace.
At the same time, in the highest temple on the sky of Niyue Palace, Xu Qing opened his eyes.
This temple is much larger than ordinary temples, with magnificent surroundings and ninety-nine huge pillars supporting the dome of this temple.
Looking up, the circular dome transformed into the sun, moon and stars, slowly rotating, and in the middle was a huge mirror shining with colorful lights.
The mountain of Niyue Palace is clearly reflected in it.
In addition, there are a large number of mysterious totems carved on the walls of this temple. Some of them are runes, some are animal shapes, and some are human outlines.
Each one exudes bursts of thrilling coercion.
As for the uppermost part of the hall, there is an altar with a huge shrine built on it, and there is a statue of a god standing inside.
This statue is different from the statues in other temples. It does not have so many embellishments, but it is a person.
His appearance is exactly that of the ruler Li Zihua!
At this moment, the statue's eyes have been opened, and the look inside them belongs to Xu Qing.
Xu Qing stared in all directions, recalling the previous scene.
He remembered walking along the gap in the stone door. When the light illuminated his world, the next moment he opened his eyes and appeared here.
"The highest palace?"
Xu Qing looked up at the mirror on the dome, looking at the outside world reflected there, and felt the regret and disappointment on the monks of Niyue Temple outside at this moment.
Then he recalled that when he came to the Niyue Palace, he looked up and saw the highest palace floating above the nine major temples.
After a while, Xu Qing withdrew his gaze and looked at the... temple gate in the distance.
"Why is it that the white-robed old man transformed by the weapon spirit of Niyue Palace has a second gate, which is this gate?"
Xu Qing pondered and walked out.
Amidst the roar, the statue of Li Zihua where he was walked off the altar and came to the gate.
Standing here, Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, observed for a moment, then raised his hand and pushed outwards hard.
With this push, the door did not move at all, as if it was completely locked, and it was difficult to move at all. Even the slightest sound was not heard.
Xu Qing frowned, his body's cultivation was running, and he tried his best to push, but it still had no use.
The door didn't even shake.
Xu Qing raised his hand, and after thinking for a moment, his eyes instantly went dark. The power of drug prohibition followed his gaze and fell on the door. The purple moon in his body was churning even more. A large amount of blood spread out from Xu Qing's body during the ups and downs of the god hidden inside.
, gathered outside the body and surrounded it into a bloody whirlpool.
Finally, blast towards the door.
The door still didn't make any noise, but Xu Qing's expression suddenly changed at this moment, and he quickly backed away.
The moment he stepped back, a red light suddenly shone above the door, and a totem as big as the door was revealed inside.
This totem is a figure with his hands covering his eyes and blood flowing all over his body.
It obviously looks evil, but it gives people a sense of sanctity that permeates all directions.
This shape is exactly what Chi Mu looks like.
Xu Qing's heart was shaken, and the purple moon in his body fluctuated violently. He felt the aura of Chi Mu, and it seemed that this totem... was drawn by Chi Mu.
"The gate of the highest temple in the Niyue Palace actually has the mark of the Red Mother!"
"Is this the second level?"
Xu Qing felt that something was wrong with this matter. This was not like the second level of assessment, but more like Chi Mu's seal on Niyue Palace.
"So, there is actually no second level assessment, and the Lord of the Moon-Reverse Palace should be able to appear very early, but all those who passed the assessment before me stopped here."
"If you can't break the seal of Red Mother, you won't be able to open the door, and you won't be able to become the master of the Anti-Moon Palace."
Xu Qing's thoughts turned around and after he came to a clear understanding, he came to the gate again and observed it carefully. During this period, he also carefully radiated the power of the purple moon.
But unfortunately, this gate is extremely sensitive to his purple moon power, and it often causes violent fluctuations when it appears.
In the end, Xu Qing simply restrained the power of Ziyue, but his eyes were dark, and he invaded with his own poison-forbidden power to feel it.
Time passed, and a few days later, as the drug ban spread, Xu Qing gradually gained some general understanding of this gate and the totems on it.
As he understood, his expression first became strange, and then became solemn.
What made him solemn was that through the drug ban, Xu Qing felt that all the temples in the mountains outside were emitting some invisible aura all the time.
No one noticed these breaths. They were being absorbed by the totem. Xu Qing could not tell what they were exactly.
What made him feel strange was that he sensed that there was a small totem in the lower right corner of this huge totem, but it was blurry and looming.
If Xu Qing's drug ban hadn't spread to the entire area, and the power of the Purple Moon caused the Red Mother Totem to fluctuate, it would have been difficult for him to detect it.
The appearance of this little totem was the source of Xu Qing's strange expression.
It actually looks exactly like the captain's face.
When Xu Qing found it, it was secretly biting the totem. Although it could only take a small bite at a time, it was very fast, like a mad dog.
However, after each bite, the totem will recover on its own...
"Eldest brother?"
Xu Qing thought for a while and tried to send waves to the little totem.
The moment this fluctuation came in, the little totem that was biting crazily suddenly trembled, raised its head suddenly, with ecstasy in its eyes, and responded quickly.
"Little Aqing!"
"I finally waited for you, I knew you would definitely show up!"
Sensing Xu Qing, the captain became excited. He struggled quickly, his whole body shone with blue light, and finally reappeared from the lower right corner of the door and looked at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing also looked at him.
"Elder brother, why are you here?"
The captain looked proud and laughed.
"How about it, no surprise."
"This is the plan I told you before!"
"I had a good plan this time. After entering the trial area, I provoked the weapon spirit and asked him to turn me into an ice sculpture and sink me into the depths of the lake."
"In this way, I can use the methods I left behind here to bypass all assessments and appear directly inside this gate."
"Then by pushing the door open, you gain the authority of the Counter-Moon Palace and become the Lord of the Counter-Moon."
"Once I succeed, I can use the power of the Niyue Palace to find all the fragmented body parts of my previous life. This is the key point of killing Chi Mu in the end."
Hearing this, Xu Qing looked at the small totem made by the captain, then looked at the large totem of Chi Mu, and sighed.
"What's the result?"
The captain looked a little embarrassed, then became sad and angry.
"Little Ah Qing, I was careless this time. I didn't expect Chi Mu to be such a thief. I knew she had a seal in Niyue Palace, but this old immortal actually died in my previous life and was reincarnated in other realms.
, and sealed a few more."
"It's true. Did you know that, little junior brother, there is a seal that actually prevents bites!!"
"There is no other way. I can only bite it slowly. Originally, I could finish it quickly and become the Lord of the Counter-Moon. Now I can only spend a little more time. Fortunately, I have an alternative plan."
"With you here, our hope will be greater. We brothers will cooperate inside and outside to swallow the seal of the Red Mother! By then, we will both be the masters of the Moon-Reverse Palace!"
Xu Qing nodded when he heard the words. He was not very interested in the master of the Niyue Palace. Since the senior brother needed this matter, he pondered for a while and thought about how to start.
"Senior Brother, I feel that this Red Mother Totem is absorbing the power of the outside world. This should be the source of its formation."
The captain smiled.
"This is exactly my alternative plan. It is the fire of faith generated by hope. Every monk who enters the Niyue Palace has hope in his heart. According to my research in my previous life, this is what Chi Mu wants.
"
"I even suspected back then that the reason why Niyue Palace has always existed is related to Chi Mu's indulgence."
"However, Chi Mu is asleep now. He can only take away the fire of hope after he wakes up. And fire... has two sides. It can both warm people and burn them."
"This is also the reason why I came here after the performance in the Moon Festival."
"Let this fire burn more intensely, and then we add some fire oil to it to make it explode and burn the seal of the Red Mother. If we cooperate with my biting, we will definitely succeed!"
"And now, what we are short of is oil, little Ah Qing. If I calculated correctly, this month... oil will appear."
