Yidi Mountain has transformed into a peach paradise. The flowers and plants under the moonlight are glowing with colorful fluorescence and swaying in the wind, like fireflies flying in the dark night. Life and death are progressing faster than the outside world.
Flowers bloom and wither, rivers dry up and erupt, lakes dry up and fill up again, just like a dream.
Tingxuan Valley, a small and narrow valley at the foot of Yidi Mountain, is the only entrance to Yidi Mountain. All demon cultivators wait here for the summons before they can climb the mountain to pay homage.
In fact, in addition to the Wanglu of Yidi Mountain, Tingxuan Valley has been shrouded by the anti-fly formation set up by the demon king all year round, making the gravity in the valley more than ten times greater than the outside world. If you want to force your way into the mountain gate, you have to consider whether your body can withstand it.
.
The time has passed.
There are two groups of light and shadow floating under the deepest rock cliff in Tingxuan Valley. One is green and the other is white, just like the two ghosts floating in the Jinluan Daze that night.
When I got closer, I saw that it was the two people who met the mythical beast Qinglong in Osawa.
The voice in the white light is still so mysterious, but tonight there are more questions: "Bailuzhou, why did he appear in Southern Wilderness?"
"My lord, forgive me. It was my subordinate who was not careful... and allowed him to steal the Divine Sky Talisman..."
"Hmph, the space and time of that Divine Sky Talisman are unpredictable. Even you can't decide where it will go. How could you bring him to the Southern Wilderness for no reason?"
The words that woke up the dreamer also aroused the chill of fear in Bailuzhou's heart in Qingguang - the Lord was obviously angry today.
"Maybe... maybe it's just a coincidence..."
Bailuzhou struggled to find an explanation.
"Okay." The voice in the white light interrupted him coldly, "I heard he got Suzaku here."
"Yes. But it's still in its infancy."
"Humph, you are really going to cause trouble for me." The person in the white light paused for a while, and then continued to say coldly: "In that case, I will do you a favor and help you."
Bailuzhou obviously didn't understand these words at all. He then said cautiously: "I am stupid and I don't understand why Suzaku lives in him."
Unexpectedly, the man in the white light suddenly changed his words, and said coldly: "You may never understand. Remember, after this month, send him to the Emperor Mountain in the West Wasteland, and you don't have to pay attention to the affairs of Jingzhou anymore."
There is never any emotion in his words, leaving the listener without any doubt.
"Tiandi Mountain?"
Bailuzhou couldn't help but feel a fog in his heart as he thought about it. His only impression of that place was a cold-blooded and solemn silhouette.
The person in the white light ignored Bailuzhou's doubts and continued:
"After he leaves, you can enjoy the rest of your life in peace."
This sentence was neither hasty nor slow, but its temperature was enough to freeze the wind in the valley into a knife, which struck Bailuzhou's aging face in an instant. He understood that he would never see Bai Yunsheng again in his life.
.
Although he and Bai Yunsheng were not related, they had been raised for seventeen years. Moreover, Bailuzhou had already stepped into the coffin. Losing Bai Yunsheng all of a sudden made him feel a sense of loneliness.
But Bailuzhou still said without changing his expression: "My subordinates understand. It's just that this son has promised to be king in Yidi Mountain, and tomorrow will be the canonization ceremony. Facing those juniors, I'm afraid..."
"I will help him tomorrow."
"My lord, I have a clear warning. However, Youhong is about to die. If he is allowed to go to the Western Wilderness, I'm afraid there will be more troubles in the southern border..."
"Bailuzhou, what you said today is a bit too much."
"My subordinates dare not..."
"His chance with this place has not come yet. The matter in Nanhuang needs to be solved by Nanhuang."
The white light disappeared as the sound fell, melting into the black earth bit by bit like ice and snow.
…
Half a month later.
To the northwest of the Southern Wasteland Demon Realm and to the west of Qian Zebu Continent.
A valley more than two thousand miles deep from north to south cuts through the world of demons and humans. It is like a ferocious scar carved on the green and round world, and like a cracked blood basin swallowing the life and death of all things.
Luofeng Valley.
It is said that this valley was caused by an earthquake caused by a demon war a long time ago, which shook out the underground divine fire. The divine fire burned everything, leaving this eternal scar. It is also its existence that isolates the West The Desolate Demon Realm and Ganzebu Continent also temporarily isolated the disputes between the demon and human clans.
Slightly to the west of the valley is the Supreme Emperor Mountain in the Western Wasteland Demon Realm.
The cool autumn wind swept through the trees and rocks in the mountains without bringing any coolness.
Today is the annual opening day of Tiandi Mountain to accept disciples.
In the long history of the war between demons and humans, not only the strength and numbers of the two sides have changed, but also the thinking and civilization. While the human world steals from the demon beasts, the demon clan is also affected by the advantages of the human race. One of them is to establish a sect. .
Today, at the foothills of Tiandi Mountain, demonic shadows are wandering. This mountain is not high - it has not reached the mountainside of Yidi Mountain, but within a radius of thousands of miles, it is very eye-catching. Because the mountain is black, not demonic black, but The dead blackness after the fire burned it. From a distance, the entire mountain looks like a cluster of slowly burning black flames.
Being adjacent to the Netherworld Divine Fire, the living environment of Tiandi Mountain is not friendly. However, the harsh environment always breeds tenacious life, such as the burnt orchids all over the mountains and plains, the golden vultures that feed on fire, and the bath orchid trees that bloom without water.
A tenacious life will always give birth to a powerful king, just like the demon king who rules the demon world in the Western Wilderness: Alien Beast Emperor Jiang.
The jade in the Western Wilderness is for heaven;
The master of the demon world is the emperor.
Ever since the demon clan was driven out of the Central Plains by humans and took over the Four Wildernesses, the ancient Dijiang clan has ruled the demon world of the Western Wilderness for generations.
The purple-red burnt orchids are endless, blooming all the way to Luofeng Valley. There are not many demon cultivators who come to pay homage, and their voices are not noisy. But only the demon cultivators who can stand here know how much the requirements of Tiandi Mountain to recruit disciples are harsh.
First, you must cultivate your karma to reach the red soul realm. This is the basis for transformation, and it is not difficult for the demon clan. Second, you must not exceed the age of eighteen. This rule directly "persuades" more than 90% of the people to quit. Demon Cultivation. Even though the demon race has great natural physical advantages, their bloodline talents are different. Unless you are a genius, you have to cultivate your karma to the red soul realm and transform into a human form before the age of eighteen.
Tiandi Mountain selects geniuses.
But even so, every year, many demon talents from other mountains in the Western Wilderness Monster Realm, even the Southern Wilderness, and the Northern Wilderness Monster Realm still travel thousands of miles to come here.
It should be said that Tiandi Mountain accepts disciples every year, and sometimes there are even no disciples, but the two requirements are never relaxed. This is not the case in the five major continents of the Central Plains. The sects of the human world, especially the sects of small and medium-sized forces, have The entry requirements are mostly loose, and some are even non-existent. As long as you can absorb the five elements of vitality, you can enter the outer sect, and you can become a formal disciple by cultivating karma.
You can see it by looking at a leopard. Although there are countless mountains and rivers in the Four Wilderness Monster Realm, and there are thousands of monsters, monsters are still monsters. Most of them prey on the weak and the strong, and they are all safe. Therefore, compared to the human world, the core of its large and small sects is There are not many disciples.
However, quantity does not determine quality, and quantity does not determine strength. Tiandi Mountain controls seventy-seven mountains in the Western Wasteland Demon Realm, with a territory of 17,517 miles. There are ten demon lords under it.
Compared to the arrogant Yidi Mountain in the Southern Wilderness Monster Realm, it is no less impressive.
Cold dew.
It was early morning when Bai Yunsheng woke up. He was lying under a tree, with moist sunlight shining through the cracks of the broken leaves.
Bai Yunsheng rubbed his eyes. He felt as if he had slept for a long time. At this moment, a layer of dizziness suddenly came over his half-awake head, as if there was a thread holding up his consciousness, jumping and moving, tired and awkward.
After a long time, the sky became clear again. He stood up and looked around him. It was beautiful here, but very strange. He saw green trees with old and new branches sticking out from the cliff above their heads, and the blue sky was shining.
The colored sky is cut into pieces of tender tofu.
The purple sea of flowers is "one ride away from the dust", and a stream flows from the end of the sea of flowers to the end of the sea of flowers.
Bai Yunsheng recognized the patches of burnt orchids, as well as the different and more exotic flowers and plants hidden in the sea of flowers, which illuminated his eyes like bunches of colorful light. He had been growing up in the golden age since childhood.
Luan Daze grew up and was familiar with the Book of Changes. The mountains and rivers in Daze were secluded, and there were countless exotic flowers and plants, but most of them were in places that were difficult to see and find. At this moment, the colorful world of flowers and plants in the Book of Changes was like reading from the book.
It's normal to draw it.
"Fengfei grass, rainbow branch flower, poppy medicine, wolfsbane, blue grass, and there is actually soul-condensing grass here. This is the main medicine for refining the soul-returning pill, but no one picks it."
Bai Yunsheng stretched out his hand impatiently, but then retracted it.
"The soul-condensing grass will die when it leaves the roots. If you pick it, you can't keep it. It's better to let them stay here."
"I'd better find out where this is first."
Bai Yunsheng looked at the sea of flowers for a while, then found a wide road and walked up it, seemingly not thinking about why he appeared here or where all the people in Yidi Mountain had gone.
After walking for half a stick of incense, after turning a few intersections, the scenery in front of me suddenly became "bright with flowers and dark with willows." The burnt orchids were still blooming, but the mountains and fields gradually became dim and dark, as if they had been burned by a fire.
There were only a few traces of small animals and birds passing through the empty valley, but not a trace of human beings.
Bai Yunsheng's surprise became more and more intense, and he couldn't help but said to himself:
"It's really weird. The Five Elements energy here is so strong, how come it's deserted?"
He walked for a while, and just when the young man's patience was almost worn out, there was suddenly a sound of horse hooves and wheels in front of him.
This was really refreshing and refreshing for Bai Yunsheng, and he ran forward quickly.
The driver was also a young man. He was humming a tune and fell asleep leisurely. In such a deserted and fairyland-like valley, the last thing left in people's hearts is the boredom all over the mountains and plains.
Suddenly, the horse's head turned sharply, and a young man appeared in front of the horse's hooves.
The young man driving the cart suddenly woke up, tightened the reins, and the brown-red horse neighed.
The carriage staggered to a stop, and the windows shook.
Bai Yunsheng was also startled by the sudden appearance of the carriage, and stood blankly in front of the horse's hooves.
Before the young man could curse, an ordinary voice came from inside the car: "Xiao Feng, what's going on?"
"Sir, a wild boy appeared out of nowhere and startled the carriage."
Hearing his master speak, he had no choice but to suppress his anger first.
After speaking, the person in the car opened the brocade and leaned out. He had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and his long hair was simply tied back on his head. He had a handsome face and a pair of red pupils that were evil and enchanting.
This is a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old - in short, he looks a little older than Bai Yunsheng. There is an orange flame printed between his eyebrows.
He stepped out of the carriage, looked down at Bai Yunsheng, who was still in a daze, and asked calmly: "Who are you?"
Bai Yunsheng woke up from the fright of the horse's hooves. Looking at the handsome young man in front of the car, he felt inexplicably kind in his heart. He scratched his head and said, "Hello, I...may be lost."
"get lost?"
"yes."
"You also want to go to Tiandi Mountain to get started?"
"Tiandi Mountain? Where...what Tiandi Mountain?!"
Bai Yunsheng's emotions were confused one moment, and then he suddenly jumped up to three feet in the next moment.
"Why did I come here, the Heavenly Emperor Mountain of the Demon Realm of the Western Wasteland?"
An incredible name came to his mind inexplicably.
The young man said: "Today is the day when Tiandi Mountain opens and accepts disciples."
"Oh my god, why am I here?" Bai Yunsheng's thoughts were racing, and he was making calculations in his mind, "I'm not familiar with the place here, so why not go and have a look first, maybe I can find a place to stay!"
He immediately said: "Yes, little brother, I also came to pay homage to the mountain gate. But I came by myself. The mountain road is rugged and I couldn't find the road for a while. How about we come together?"
He really doesn't care about life.
The young man couldn't help but frown and repeated: "Together?"
As he spoke, he carefully looked up and down at the stranger in front of him, and then smiled smartly: "Okay, you and I will go together."
"Young master, you can't do that. This guy's origins are unknown..."
The young man driving the bus widened his innocent eyes, obviously he was not happy to travel with this "uninvited guest".
"It doesn't matter, maybe we will still be from the same school in the future."
But the handsome young man smiled and interrupted the entourage's obstruction, and let Bai Yunsheng get into the car.
"Thank you very much. I'm Bai Yunsheng. May I ask my name?"
"Xiang Wujian."
The foot of Tiandi Mountain.
There are many talented people from the demon world gathered here, as well as some accompanying elders and attendants, making the usually quiet and leisurely foothills of Tiandi Mountain become full of demons.
There are two demon cultivators sitting cross-legged at the mountain gate, one purple and one red. They are the law enforcement elders for this year's assessment.
The assessment will not begin until noon.
The carriages of Bai Yunsheng and Xiang Wujian arrived behind the demon group in no time. The two got off the car and walked into the end of the demon group. There were about a hundred demon youths in front of them, and they all looked at Hei Jingji.
The mountain gate, waiting for the moment to change their destiny.
In the car, Xiang Wujian told Bai Yunsheng some outlines of how Tiandi Mountain recruits disciples.
But for Bai Yunsheng, this trip to visit the family was inexplicable from the beginning. He just wanted to find a place to stay and find out what happened to him - he seemed to have no memory of what happened before.
It's just that now he is riding a tiger and can't get off, so he has no choice but not to scare the tiger into anger.
Soon, the sun was at its strongest during the day. Three figures flew down from the mountain, two men and one woman, with three green soul marks of different shapes printed on their foreheads.
Just when the three of them were about to fall, a rolling heat wave suddenly hit their faces and rolled straight towards all the demon cultivators who came to visit them. Dozens of people who were caught off guard were blown a hundred feet away, hit the mountain, and fell on the road.
Vomiting blood, half-conscious and half-conscious.
Bai Yunsheng only felt a sudden heat wave, and then disappeared in an instant, never feeling it again.
The leader was a bearded man, staring with a pair of lion eyes as big as copper bells, and his voice was like rolling thunder: "Those who are not standing, come down the mountain!"
Bai Yunsheng had only heard from Xiang Wujian about the harshness of recruiting disciples in Tiandi Mountain, but he never thought that before the "food" was served, he would already be "suffocated to death" just by drinking the wind.
He looked at Xiang Wujian, who didn't look strange at all.
Then, a small black cauldron appeared in the hands of the lion demon man. It floated and rotated, turning into a giant cauldron of several tens of feet, hanging in the air. The black cauldron was filled with flickering purple-red light.
In an instant, the scorching heat that covered the sky and the sun struck again, this time coming from the mysterious giant cauldron, stronger and more intense.
Even if the remaining people were prepared, a dozen more demon clan talents were blown out. Needless to say, they were eliminated.
At this time, the yellow soul realm lion demon opened his mouth wide and shouted:
"This is the most precious treasure of our mountain, the Netherworld Cauldron. There is a divine fire from the underworld that lasts for thousands of years in the cauldron. Later, all of you will enter the cauldron and be tempered by the divine fire. If you can hold on until sunset, you will be my new disciple of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain.
."
After the lion demon finished speaking, an irresistible pulling force suddenly hit his body from the top of his head. Bai Yunsheng felt that his whole body was out of control, and a warm red light surrounded him, flying in with all the demon cultivators.
into the giant cauldron.
Nothing was said, nothing was asked, and nothing was prepared. When Bai Yunsheng regained control of his body, he was already in a sea of fire.
This seems to be a main hall, but there is no main hall. There are only three futons hidden in the purple flames. Bai Yunsheng is standing in a door-like place. As long as he takes a step forward, he will fall into the sea of fire and be trapped.
It was burned until there was no residue left.
"Netherworld Divine Fire..."
The memory in Bai Yunsheng's mind came back inexplicably, but there were only a few words. It only said that the divine fire was purple-red and came from the depths of the earth. Gods and ghosts would burn it when it entered it. It was a fire created by heaven and earth, which would never be extinguished.
But when Bai Yunsheng wanted to ask where this information came from, he couldn't remember it. These words flashed through his mind like meteors.
"Have I lost my memory?"
Bai Yunsheng looked around, but there was no one around. In order to avoid helping each other or cheating secretly, the lion demon had separated all the demon cultivators just now.
When he thought about the present visit, Bai Yunsheng smiled stupidly and said to himself: "Isn't it better if I stand here until sunset? The fire won't burn this place anyway."
But as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately broke into a cold sweat. The ground under his feet was rapidly collapsing and turning into ashes in the fire, but the three futons were still looming. The situation was already obvious. He had to reach the futons, otherwise he would surely
Buried in fire.
This made Bai Yunsheng couldn't help but yell: "You bastard! You can still play like this!"
The scorching heat had begun to dry out his skin, but he knew that he had no karma at all, so how could he jump to the futon five feet away.
Bai Yunsheng was still thinking rapidly. The ground under his left foot had collapsed completely, and the purple-red divine fire was under his feet.
"Just die!"
Bai Yunsheng closed his eyes and jumped forward. The stone platform he was standing on instantly disappeared into the sea of fire.
