In just a blink of an eye, Bai Yunsheng's eyes were already filled with rolling seas of clouds, and there were so many black clouds above his head that he could not tell whether it was day or night.
Above the heavy clouds, there seems to be a shadow of a building.
Linlang, who had settled down, put away his dexterity and said with great concentration: "This is the ninth level of heaven. Every black cloud is condensed by the holy power. The pressure becomes ten times stronger with each level."
Bai Yunsheng nodded in understanding. He could already feel the karma all around him, which was exactly the same as the black power in his body.
At this time, Linlang said: "Okay, I will send you here. The person who wants to see you is at the ninth level."
After saying that, Linlang teleported away without giving Bai Yunsheng a chance to ask again.
Bai Yunsheng couldn't help but curled his lips, looked up at the black clouds overhead, took a deep breath, put away his curiosity, and with 100% excitement and 100% concentration, flew towards the clouds above his head.
Sure enough, as Linlang said, the karma of the sea of clouds around him became much stronger with each level, but Bai Yunsheng was not hindered too much and soon passed through the clouds and stood in front of a hall.
"Strange, why is there only the fifth floor?"
The surprise in his heart flashed away, because the next moment his eyes were completely attracted by the palace in front of him.
Above the thousands of feet of floating clouds, I saw dark shadows of palaces looming high and low among the clouds, as if they were ghosts and gods from hell standing in the sky, staring at the dead mountains and rivers.
At the highest point of the floating clouds, a majestic shrine is like a black hole in the sea of stars. Circles of flowing clouds hover on the top of the palace, and the light is gloomy. There are hundreds of meters of cloud ladders connected to the palace, so vast and misty that it scares the viewer, and the mountains look up.
This place seemed to be a world made entirely of black karma. Bai Yunsheng could clearly feel the devouring sensation coming from the back of his palms - the clouds here were sucking his life away.
"Welcome home."
Suddenly, a stiff voice came from Yun Palace, but Bai Yunsheng's ears were filled with excitement.
The longevity sword in his hand suddenly buzzed, like a restless wanderer or an eager returning bird.
Bai Yunsheng looked at the majestic mountain-like hall with sharp eyes. Not long after the sound fell, he saw an old man walking out of the hall with his hands behind his back.
The old man's beard and hair are all black, and his deep black pupils seem to be shining with stars, giving him a kind of intoxicating magic.
Bai Yunsheng shook his head suddenly, feeling frightened in his heart. Just a casual look made him lose his mind. This old man's strength had reached a point where it was impossible to predict.
Bai Yunsheng showed the greatest and deepest respect in his life, bowed and said: "Junior Bai Yunsheng, you are disturbing your senior."
Unexpectedly, the old man then bowed and said shockingly:
"Sir, I have been waiting here for a long time."
These words shocked Bai Yunsheng to the point where he could not utter a word.
The face of the old man Gu Jing Wubo was neither surprised nor happy, like a rock in the waves. He continued calmly:
"The white jade capital in the sky has five pavilions on the twelfth floor. The immortal caressed my head and knotted my hair, granting me immortality. I invite you, young master, to follow me into the palace."
Bai Yunsheng's mind was completely blank at the moment, so he could not hear any of this. But his body involuntarily climbed up the ladder amidst the old man's voice.
After walking for so many years, climbing over so many mountains, and crossing so many rivers, finally, only this last stretch of road is left.
The answer to the mystery of my life that I have been talking about for half my life is finally right in front of me!
The moment Bai Yunsheng stepped onto the ladder, wisps of misty clouds and smoke emerged from both ends of the ladder. The clouds and smoke settled and condensed, turning into black-armored magic soldiers. The magic soldiers' eyes were black and lifeless, like hell.
Ghost corpse.
But every magic weapon made Bai Yunsheng smell the deep danger.
When he came to His Highness, the Demon Locking Tower, which had been peaceful at first, suddenly became unruly and jumped out, turning into a beam of black light and shooting into the palace.
Bai Yunsheng was about to catch up, but was stopped by the old man:
"Master, don't panic, the Wheel Tower is in the palace, please come with me."
"Wheel Tower?"
Bai Yunsheng whispered and followed the old man's footsteps in a daze.
The moment he entered the Cloud Palace, his violent heartbeat suddenly calmed down, and his surroundings became extremely quiet.
In addition to the suspended paper-white flames, there is only one color left in the palace - black. Every platform, every pillar, every brick and every stone is filled with bright or dark black.
But Bai Yunsheng didn't feel weird at all. No, to be precise, he didn't have any mood swings at all when he was in the palace.
There is only silence, silence to the point of nothingness.
This space seems not to exist at all, but it does exist.
Bai Yunsheng has been following the old man, feeling neither joy nor danger.
"Old-timer..."
Bai Yunsheng couldn't help but was interrupted by the old man as soon as he opened his mouth, saying:
"Young master, just call me Ayuan. This is the name given to me by the sect master."
Bai Yunsheng was stunned for a while and said:
"Ah...yuan, why is this Cloud Palace..."
He stopped mid-sentence. Indeed, Bai Yunsheng could not find any words to describe this inexplicable feeling.
Ayuan explained without emotion:
"Sir, every brick and tile in the Hall of Eternal Life, as well as the tables, chairs and furnishings are all made of holy power. It is normal that you are not used to it when you first arrive here."
After saying that, without stopping, he led Bai Yunsheng to continue walking towards the main hall.
In front of him was a fifty-foot-tall reflecting wall. The flames at the four corners lit up the relief on the wall. It was a monster, painted in grotesque shapes, and its hands and feet were indistinguishable.
The beast's pupils are clotted with blood and refracted.
After walking around a high wall, the light suddenly became much brighter.
The main hall then appeared, and there were six black dragon stone pillars in the hall that topped the sky beams, carved dragons and painted phoenixes showing their divine power. There was a three-foot-long spiritual platform stacked on three levels, and a square of cold jade fell on the statue.
"Sir, please."
Ayuan bowed and let Bai Yunsheng into the main hall, while he stood motionless at the door.
Bai Yunsheng looked back at Ayuan, and then looked around at the solemn furnishings in the hall. There was no one inside.
Linlang said that someone was waiting for him on Kunlun Mountain. Apparently it was not the old man A Yuan. Who could it be?
With thousands of doubts welling up in his mind, Bai Yunsheng walked cautiously on the black jade ground covered with runes, his black pupils spinning back and forth.
There are six Xuanwen Taidi chairs placed under the stone pillars. They are clean and dust-free, and it does not look like they have been occupied for a long time.
But what puzzles Bai Yunsheng the most is that there is no main seat directly above the main hall, but a sword platform with a piece of ice stone standing on it, and a sword sealed in the ice stone!
Bai Yunsheng slowly moved to the sword platform, only to find that there was a sword shape in the hollow of the ice stone, but there was no sword.
"Strange, whose sword is sealed here?"
Just a moment after Bai Yunsheng's soliloquy, a sudden flash of blood flashed from behind him, and he trembled. The Sword of Eternal Life unsheathed itself and flew out!
"Could it be..."
As soon as an astonishing thought came out of his mind, the facts appeared before his eyes.
I saw the Sword of Eternal Life flying straight towards the ice stone, "Pop!" The ice stone shattered like foam and turned into ice powder, and the falling silver light was like stardust on the night sea.
The divine sword is sheathed and the precious sword is put into the box.
"puff!"
The whole world suddenly sank into darkness, and then the divine sword disappeared, leaving only the sword platform immersed in a pool of blood.
Bai Yunsheng looked around hurriedly, but saw nothing. When he focused his eyes again, a figure suddenly appeared on the sword platform, with white hair and black eyes, and a majestic face.
At this moment, Bai Yunsheng stared at the strange figure with his mouth open, stunned and speechless.
"It showed up! It really showed up!"
Bai Yun was dull on the outside but irritable on the inside. His face was calm and his heart was confused. His inner emotions had long been like a herd of horses galloping across the wilderness.
