Chapter 198 Mysterious Ice Mountain

Seeing this, Yun Hao and others also went to a jade pavilion where there were fewer cultivators and sat down.

Then I waited here, waiting for the first level to end so that I could move on to the second level.

And just as Han Li came in, the old demon Ji Yin's eyes moved slightly, looked at him, and then slowly closed their eyes.

Yun Hao saw this scene and spoke in surprise.

"Junior brother, you seem to be in trouble..."

Han Li's expression darkened when he heard this, and then he spoke to Yun Hao.

"Senior Brother Yun, I wonder if you have any chance of winning against this old monster in the Nascent Soul stage!"

There was actually a hint of murderous intent in his words.

After all, he knew that Yun Hao's strength was different from that of an ordinary late Jindan cultivator.

I think a cross-border battle should be no problem for Yun Hao.

After hearing Han Li's question, Yun Hao narrowed his eyes slightly, touched his beardless chin, and spoke confidently.

"Junior Brother Han, how did this old demon offend you that you actually want to bring bad luck upon him?"

Han Li's face turned slightly bitter, and he spoke with an unbearable look.

"Brother, you should know that Han is not a person who stirs up trouble out of nothing. The reason he is at odds with this old demon is only because he has offended his grandson."

After hearing this, Yun Hao remained calm for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and agreed.

"Don't worry, Junior Brother. If you run into any trouble in Xutian Palace, we will certainly not stand idly by. As for Senior Brother's strength, Junior Brother will know when the time comes."

Han Li nodded after listening and spoke again.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother. There will be an old demon named Master Xuan Gu who will help us deal with the old monster Ji Yin."

After hearing this, Yun Hao's eyes narrowed into slits, and he thought to himself.

"It seems that Han Li and Master Ge Xuan Gu are on the path to deal with Ji Yin."

"But this is also good. I also need to go look for the Bipolar Mysterious Light Beast, so I can't go with Han Li."

In this way, time passed slowly.

Sudden.

The ghost fog not far away automatically parted, and a male cultivator walked out from it leisurely and leisurely.

This male cultivator was very young, with a very handsome face, and was wearing a green robe.

This is actually nothing, but what is surprising is that this person came from a place of injustice, and there is nothing unusual about his body.

His expression was extremely calm, as if he had not experienced any struggle or risk at all to get here.

This strange situation immediately caused the nearby monks to be stunned. When they looked at this person, there were some complicated meanings in their eyes.

At this time.

The old demon Ji Yin opened his eyes slightly, but after taking a look at the male cultivator, a look of disappointment flashed across his face, and he closed his eyelids again.

It seemed as if she didn't care about this male monk at all.

As for the male cultivator, seeing that the extremely sinister old demon just glanced at him, he casually forgot about him.

A hint of resentment inadvertently flashed across his face, but he quickly returned to normal and then strode in.

He did not go into the pavilion and sit with the others, but instead found a secluded corner and stood there with his hands behind his back, looking at the other monks coldly.

As soon as he saw Han Li, his slightly frown relaxed, but then his face became expressionless again.

But at this moment, without anyone else knowing, a deep male voice suddenly came into the young monk's mind.

"Why, the helper you were looking for is not here! Could he have died in the Land of Ghosts?"

The young monk's face darkened, and he immediately started scolding in his mind.

"Shut up!"

"Don't speak carelessly in my body. You should know that there are several Nascent Soul cultivators here."

"If there are one or two people with extremely strong spiritual sense, they will most likely sense you as soon as you speak."

The young monk used his spiritual sense to scold harshly and rudely.

Inside the young man's body, a deep male voice spoke again, unconvinced.

"Humph……"

"So what if they found out?"

"With your strength, plus the support I give you, when the two of us join forces, who can be our opponent?"

"Besides, even if we are defeated, the worst that can happen is that we will return to the ghost fog."

"In a head-on fight, we may not be a match for a Nascent Soul cultivator."

“But when it comes to the means of escaping, who among them can be as miraculous as the ghost arts we practice.”

The handsome young man heard this and spoke again.

"What do you know? Among the Nascent Soul cultivators here, at least three or four have the means to restrain our skills."

"It is true that our ghost arts are strange and mysterious, but cultivators also have special magic weapons and special magical powers."

"If you want to die, don't let me get involved."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for not keeping my promise. I will kill you right here and now."

The man with a deep voice seemed to be frightened by the young man's words when he heard them, and then he spoke in a flattering manner.

"Brother Xuan Gu, why are you angry?"

"I am just talking, at worst I will stop talking."

"However, you promised to find a suitable body for me, so you can't break your promise!"

"Otherwise, why would I hand over a trace of my spirit to you, and why would I be willing to follow you out of this hellish place!"

This man seemed to be very afraid of the young man, but in the end he couldn't help but remind the young man.

This young cultivator was naturally the Master Xuan Gu, who had some obscure connection with Han Li.

Master Xuan Gu listened to the voice inside his body and said coldly.

"rest assured!"

"Since I need you to help me deal with the traitor Ji Yin, it will be more convenient for you to move after you recover your physical body."

"Besides, you and I are both in the same boat, both of us are practicing the ghost path halfway through. As long as you are obedient, this old ancestor will naturally keep the agreement between you and me."

The voice inside his body listened to Master Xuan Gu's words and said something with satisfaction.

"Hehe! With your words, I feel relieved."

After saying this, he completely calmed down from Master Xuan Gu's mind.

This also made the young man, Master Xuan Gu, feel slightly relieved. Then he sat down with his back against a small tree and fell into a doze.

As time passed, more and more monks came out of the ghost fog, and of course, they became more and more embarrassed.

There were even several monks who looked as if they had been seriously injured.

It is estimated that without several years or even more than ten years of meditation, it would be impossible to recover to the original level of cultivation.

But even so.

There was still an unconcealable joy on these people's faces.

After all, as long as you pass this first level, "The Land of Ghosts".

At the very least, you can pick some precious and seldom-seen medicinal herbs in the outside world, so you won't end up with nothing.

one after another.

Dozens more monks appeared, and the number of people here suddenly increased to sixty or seventy.

However, when the number reached this level, the number of monks who appeared suddenly decreased.

After about half a day, two or three people occasionally walked out from the edge of the ghost land, and after that, no one came out anymore.

As for those who did not get out, some of them died at the hands of their opponents in the fierce fights between cultivators, or were devoured by the monsters in the Land of Ghosts and became part of the Land of Ghosts.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another whole day has passed.

Many people present were getting impatient waiting.

In the center surrounded by several jade pavilions, on a bare stone slab, bursts of dazzling white light flashed one after another, attracting the attention of many cultivators present.

but.

After the experience at the beginning of the first level, these monks did not show any surprised expressions.

as predicted.

After the white light, a teleportation array appeared on the stone slab on the flat ground, which was almost the same as the one in the first level. Its shape and size were exactly the same as the previous one.

This time, Meng Tianqi and Han Mengyao did not move, but the two white-robed elders from Xinggong came out.

The two of them walked slowly to the teleportation array and took a quick look at it.

Everything was normal, and then the elder with the kinder look among the two began to speak to everyone.

"Everyone, this teleportation array under my feet is the teleportation array that will lead to the next level."

"Ice and Fire Road"

"This is the only path through this level."

"Of course, you can also choose to quit before entering the second level. The teleportation array of the second level will last for a while. If someone feels that the next level is dangerous and does not want to continue taking risks, they can also teleport back to the location of the first level after picking the spiritual herbs. The teleportation array will appear here at that time."

"However, whether you want to continue to the second level or are satisfied with this point, you only have one whole day to pick the spiritual herbs."

"If you stay inside after this time with greed in your heart, you will probably never be able to escape."

"According to the records of my Xing Palace, any cultivator who was locked inside and did not come out on time has never appeared again when the Xutian Palace was opened next time."

"As for the reason for their disappearance, no one has figured it out yet. It is probably because they died under various formations. So you should not take chances and stay in there on purpose."

The voice of the kind-looking old man in white was not loud, but it echoed throughout the entire venue.

Almost all the monks present heard it clearly.

Among these numerous monks, there were some who had participated in the last trip to Xutian Palace. Therefore, they knew about this matter, so they sounded a little careless and absent-minded.

But most cultivators, like Yun Hao, were participating in the opening of Xutian Palace for the first time, so they only knew a little about this matter. When these people listened to the words of the white-robed elder of the Xinggong, they seemed much more serious and showed a look of surprise from time to time.

As soon as the old man finished speaking, he, Meng Tianqi, Han Mengyao and another law enforcement elder from the Xing Palace stepped onto the teleportation array leading to the second level.

They were transported by a teleportation array with a flash of white light, and the four figures suddenly disappeared from their original place.

This time, the crowd was no longer timid like they were in the first level. Most of them rushed forward without any hesitation.

After all, time is very limited, with only one day given to everyone, so they don't want to waste time here. Instead of spending time here to have fun, they might as well use the time to look for spiritual objects, and maybe they can gain more.

Yun Hao and his group did not hesitate at all. They also mingled among the many cultivators and walked straight towards the location of the teleportation array.

but.

Just as the teleportation array beneath their feet lit up with white light, ready to teleport several people away.

Yun Hao and the others sensed it separately, and a pair of eager eyes swept over to everyone.

Yun Hao looked up.

The old demon Ji Yin smiled sinisterly and looked at Han Li among the people.

This look made Han Li feel uneasy and angry at the same time.

The moment the white light suddenly appeared, a cruel look appeared on his face.

After all, Han Li knew in his heart what Ji Yin's unfriendly look meant.

This feeling of powerlessness couldn't help but arouse Han Li's rare ferocity.

There was a flash of white light.

Then several people disappeared here.

After the light faded, Yun Hao subconsciously walked out of the teleportation array, narrowed his eyes, and looked around. Although the other people said and did different things, most of them were roughly the same, and they all looked around.

The situation before them left them stunned.

All I saw was the blue sky and large patches of white clouds in different shapes.

All around is the endless green grassland, with mountains vaguely visible in the distance, and the fragrance of flowers and plants blowing in the air.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh.

"How can this be the Xutian Palace? This is clearly some holy land on earth. The environment is so beautiful."

Everyone was in a daze at the same time, and after staring for a long time, they finally came out of their daze.

at this time.

Master Xuan Gu also walked out of the teleportation array at a leisurely pace.

Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, he couldn't help but sneer.

"Why, are you all surprised?"

"When I first came here, my performance was not much better than yours."

"However, this is not an illusion, but a real little world."

"Looking at the situation here, it shouldn't be a place in the outside world. The spiritual energy here is too rich, and there is an indescribable fresh smell."

After Master Xuan Gu finished speaking, he spread his hands, took a deep breath of the air, narrowed his eyes slightly, and savored it slowly.

Seeing this, Yun Hao asked.

"My fellow Taoist, you seem to know this place very well. Why don't you tell us about the situation here?"

Master Xuan Gu couldn't help but feel refreshed after hearing Yun Hao's words.

He was also deeply impressed by Yun Hao.

after all.

There are very few people like Yun Hao who bring two Taoist companions to participate in the trip to Xutian Palace, almost none.

In addition, this person was favored by a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator like Man Huzi, so it seems that his strength is extraordinary.

It just so happened that he was not very confident that he could kill the traitor Ji Yin this time, so he also wanted to make friends with him.

After listening to Yun Hao's words, Master Xuan Gu began to explain.

"This should be a small space opened up by an ancient cultivator who used his magical powers during the barbaric period."

“But unfortunately, none of us who came after us can reproduce these great magical powers that shocked the world and made the gods and ghosts weep.”

Speaking of this, Master Xuan Gu couldn't help but sigh, and a trace of yearning for the ancient cultivators appeared in his eyes.

After hearing this, the group couldn't help but show expressions of shock, some of them couldn't believe it.

Yun Hao touched his chin and muttered to himself.

"You're creating the world all by yourself..."

He couldn't help but think of the legend of the god Pangu creating the world in the novel he had read in his previous life.

……

Master Xuan Gu seemed to see what everyone was thinking, and he spoke calmly.

"What's so strange about this! The ancient monks' magical powers and might are far beyond the imagination of us younger generations, and of course, even more incomparable."

After saying this, he fell into deep thought again.

"I just don't know why these ancient monks suddenly disappeared without a trace within a certain period of time."

"Otherwise, why would our world of immortal cultivation become so desolate and miserable?"

After hearing this, Yun Hao had some understanding in his mind. He thought it might be related to the invasion of the human world by the ancient demon world.

As for those ancient monks, they either died in the battle with the ancient demons or ascended to the spiritual world.

but.

Although he knew it in his heart, he had no intention of telling it.

Regardless of whether others believe it or not, I just think it is unnecessary.

Thinking of this, his eyes fell on the path in front of him.

I saw that this road was covered with some unknown wild grasses and looked a little blurry. It meandered straight and winding way into the distance, with no end in sight.

For him, no matter how amazing the ancient monks' magical powers were, it had nothing to do with him. What was crucial was whether his own magical powers were powerful.

Likewise, why they disappeared was meaningless to him now. He knew the reason clearly, but he did not have the ability to solve it.

After thinking about it, I still think that I should deal with the current affairs first, and then care about the ancient monks and magical powers!
Then everyone flew quickly for hundreds of miles along the path in front of them.

soon.

The crowd came directly to a large canyon.

There are countless large and small restrictions set up in the canyon. Although the canyon is not wide, it is very long.

Inside and outside the canyon are like two completely different worlds.

Master Xuan Gu looked at the canyon and began to introduce it.

"There are two passages that can pass through here, namely the 'Xuanjing Road' and the 'Lava Road'."

"The 'Xuanjing Road' is a place where the cold penetrates into the bones. If you are not careful, you will be frozen in the ice. The other one is the 'Lava Road', which is extremely hot. If cultivators like us enter it, we may be turned into ashes if we are not careful."

"The teleportation array is at the end of these two passages. Only when you reach the end of the canyon can you find the teleportation array and teleport out. Only then can you pass the second level of the Ice and Fire Road."

"Before entering this canyon, just like what the two old guys from the Star Palace said, everyone who comes in will have a day to search and pick various heavenly and earthly medicinal herbs."

"As for what kind of natural treasures can be found, that depends on each person's luck and fortune."

After hearing this, Yun Hao shook his head.

It was because the bipolar Xuanxuanguang beast he was looking for was not outside this canyon.

It is no longer somewhere on the "Xuan Jing Road" and "Lava Road".

Instead, it is at the intersection of the "Xuan Jing Road" and the "Lava Road", a place called the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.

When Master Xuan Gu saw Yun Hao shaking his head, he was about to say something else.

But the white light behind everyone lit up again.

When Master Xuan Gu saw this scene, he tightly closed his mouth.

Because the teleportation array behind him flashed white light again, more people came out one after another.

These cultivators who came later didn't even look at Yun Hao and the others, but shook their bodies with excitement on their faces.

It transformed into several long rainbows of different colors and flew towards the distant mountains, looking like it was eager to find treasure.

Looking at the figures of these monks who came later and went away, Master Xuan Gu frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke to Han Li.

"Han boy, let's go too!"

"Otherwise, when Jiyin and the others are teleported here, it might cause some unnecessary trouble."

After saying this, Master Xuan Gu did not wait for Han Li to react.

His figure suddenly turned into a dark cloud as dark as ink and flew away into the sky.

Han Li remained expressionless upon seeing this, he just turned around and clasped his fists towards Yun Hao and the others.

"Senior Brother Yun, my two sisters-in-law, and Fellow Daoist Yuan Yao, I have something else to do, so I will go ahead."

After saying that, he turned into a green rainbow and followed in the direction of Master Xuan Gu.

It wasn't long after Han Li and Master Xuan Gu flew away from here.

Ji Yin, Qing Yi Jushi, He Man Hu Zi, Wan Tianming and other righteous Nascent Soul cultivators were also teleported out one after another.

Also coming here is the graceful Mrs. Wen.

However, as they were from the righteous and evil sects, they naturally stood on their own sides, led by Man Huzi and Wan Tianming respectively, in an opposing posture.

As soon as Ji Yin appeared here, he hurriedly glanced around, but did not find any trace of Han Li. He was a little disappointed, but after seeing Yun Hao, he looked happy again. He looked at Yun Hao and started questioning.

"Boy, where is the monk you were with?"

After saying that, he stared at Yun Hao, Xin Ruyin, Meng Yanran and Yuan Yao with displeasure.

The ugly young man next to him looked as if he had lost his mind. He looked at the three women and almost drooled.

"Humph"

Yun Hao snorted coldly at the ugly young man and did not answer Ji Yin's question. Instead, he turned around and saluted Man Huzi.

"The juniors and others have met Senior Man."

When the old demon Ji Yin saw this scene, he was so angry that his nose almost became crooked.

The young man next to him was even more unbearable, and spoke with an angry look.

"You little bastard, tell me where that person is, and hand over the three beauties around you. Otherwise, hehehe..."

After saying this, he looked at Yun Hao unkindly.

After hearing this, Yun Hao's eyes flashed coldly, and he was about to attack the young man.

But at this moment.

A slight cough from Man Huzi was heard in the room.

When Ji Yin and Yun Hao heard this, they gave up the idea of ​​taking action.

At this time.

The beautiful lady, Madam Wen, glanced at everyone and said coldly.

"You guys can fight however you want, just don't involve me."

After saying this, she swiftly transformed into a ball of silver light and flew away into the distance.

Upon seeing this, Yun Hao spoke to Man Huzi.

"Senior Man, I am also going to go pick spiritual herbs."

After saying this, he cupped his hands.

Upon hearing this, Xin Ruyin and the other two girls also saluted to Man Huzi, a senior who was in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage.

Seeing this, Man Huzi nodded slightly but said nothing.

Seeing this, Yun Hao and others flew towards the direction where Madam Wen was leaving.

Not that he did it on purpose.

But somewhere in this direction, there is a Xuanbing Mountain, on which grow some Xuanbing grass.

Xuanbing grass has a miraculous effect on helping cultivators break through their realms, and can help stabilize their minds.

He only learned this news after asking Miaoyin Sect to make inquiries many times.

Now that I'm here, there's no reason to let it go.

Although he didn't know whether the Ice Spirit Grass was effective in breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, it was better to have it than not.

What if this is the only missing medicinal ingredient?

Four figures flashed, and the light of escape merged into one, flying away into the distance.

Two or three hours later.

The four of them flew to the edge of a big mountain.

The white-capped peaks, covered with clouds and snow, look like a row of jade pillars standing tall against the sky.

They stand shoulder to shoulder above the earth, like a nimble jade dragon, winding down from the blue sky and leaping above the beautiful land.

It is majestic and overflowing with a majestic and magnificent beauty.
