Chapter 877: Xiaoxue's Hope of Resurrection!
"The ancestors of those giants were subdued by the ancient gods as god slaves. When they first built this hall, they made great efforts. They transported the black diamonds needed for the hall from the distant mountains. The ancient gods are in their hearts. Although he has disappeared for a long time, his divine power has been passed down from generation to generation among the giants, and they have lived here for generations, guarding this demon palace."
"But... why did they pile up so many bones under the demon hall?"
"This is one of the secrets of the Demon Palace." The old man pointed to the ground and said, "There is an extremely powerful savage beast under this palace. The reason why the giant piled up those bones outside the stone mountain is to execute the ancient gods. The order left behind. The ancient gods set up a great array of bones here, concentrating the power of heaven and earth, gathering the souls of all spirits, and deterring the savage beast underground so that it cannot come up to do evil."
Xiao Jue was dumbfounded when he heard this, and his heart was extremely horrified. The wild beast restrained by the gods must be extremely terrifying. Thinking that it was tens or hundreds of feet away, he shivered for a while.
"What kind of beast is this?"
"I don't know, no one has seen it except the owner of the Demon Palace, and I can only hear its roar occasionally."
At this moment, a muffled roar suddenly came from the ground, but the sound was not very clear across the floor of the hall, but it was chilling to hear. Shocked, it quickly shrunk down to the size of a kitten, and then jumped onto Xiao Jue's shoulder. While vigilantly watching the mummy-like old man opposite, it shook its ears to listen to the howling sound like a magic sound.
When Xiao Jue was watching outside the main hall during the day, he had already heard the faint whistling. Now he understood it. When the whistling stopped, he asked: "Why did the ancient god trap it here? Why didn't you directly destroy it?"
The old man said: "The ancient god brought it here from other places, and originally wanted to tame it as a mount, but the wild beast has a strong temper and refused to give in no matter what, the ancient god had no choice but to trap it under the hall, and wanted to slowly take it It subdued it. But it never thought that he would be seriously injured in the battle of the gods, and he was no longer able to kill the beast, so he set up the Nine Nether White Bone Formation to prevent it from escaping."
"So that's the case. I really didn't expect such a mysterious place to exist in such a deep mountain."
The old man said: "This is just one of the secrets of the Demon Palace, there is an even bigger secret besides this."
"Is there a bigger secret?"
"Under this hall is not only an evil beast, but also a treasure that is sealed."
Xiao Jue's heart moved, he remembered a legendary armor, and he couldn't help asking: "What treasure?"
"Xuan Tianlian!"
Xiao Jue was surprised: "Ah, could it be... Could it be that Xuantian lotus that existed in ancient times?"
The old man nodded and said: "That's right, Xuan Tianlian can bring the dead back to life!"
"Back to life?"
Xiao Jue was shocked, and shouted from the bottom of his heart: "Xiaoxue, I finally found hope!"
"Really, Xuan Tianlian was indeed sealed under the Demon Palace.
Xiao Jue said: "Old man, who are you and why are you here? I still don't know your identity."
The old man pointed to the two rows of mummy corpses in the main hall, and said, "I am a servant in the Demon Palace just like them."
"Ah, they are still alive?" Xiao Jue exclaimed.
"No, they have been dead for many years. These people are the servants of the gods of the past, because the exercises they practiced are all dead wood tactics, so they will look like this after death."
"Servant of God?"
"Yes, before the master of the Demon Palace disappeared, he once took in a servant, that is, the first generation of God Servant, and he was the only one who had ever seen the Master of the Demon Palace. The first generation of God Servant was loyal to the ancient god and has been looking forward to Looking forward to the return of the ancient god, but waiting for more than a hundred years in vain. In his later years, he asked the giants outside to send him out of the mountains, accepted a disciple in the city of sin, and then returned here. From generation to generation, the gods in the magic hall That's how servants come."
"Oh I got it."
The old man continued: "Time has passed, thousands of years have passed. Although there are still god servants in this demon temple, the heart of the god servants is no longer what it used to be. The later god servants have never seen the ancient gods. How can there be any gods?" A trace of awe, besides, there is no longer any meaning for the existence of a servant of the gods. There were people in the previous generations who planned not to accept disciples, but they never made that decision. I have seen it and decided not to accept disciples."
"Are you... planning to leave here?"
"I'm over three hundred years old, and I'm already dying. What's the point of leaving? This is the best place to bury me."
"Ah, more than three hundred years old?! Then your cultivation level..." Xiao Jue couldn't continue. If what the old man said was true, then his cultivation base might have reached a level that ordinary people can hardly imagine.
The old man said: "Every generation of god servants can live to at least one hundred and fifty years old. The exercises handed down by the ancient gods are mainly for health preservation, not the kind of cultivation in the usual sense. In fact, the abilities of the god servants of the past generations are not Gao Qiang can only be regarded as an ordinary master on the mainland. Take me for example, although I am over three hundred years old now, I am not your opponent at all, and I will definitely not be able to fight against you."
"Oh." Xiao Jue has indeed heard of this kind of cultivator, which is a side branch of Taoism. This kind of person does not pursue the growth of strength, and their purpose of self-cultivation is only to obtain longevity.
The old man said: "I know my fate is not long, so I told you the secret in my heart. The Xuantian Lotus has been one of the most treasured treasures in the legends of the mainland since ancient times. I hope the world can know its whereabouts, and I don't want it to be buried for many years." Buried deep in the ground."
Xiao Jue suddenly remembered the bones of the gods outside the main hall, and couldn't help asking: "There are some shining white bones scattered on the steps outside the magic hall. Could it be the bones of the ancient god who blew up his body?"
The old man said: "That's right, it's his bones. Since the master of the demon hall disappeared, the first generation of servants were anxious and worried. Later, they became angry with the dead ancient god and spread his bones outside the hall." On the steps, let it be exposed to wind and sun, rain and snow."
After a long talk with the old man, Xiao Jue had a general understanding of the origin of this hall and some secrets here.
Through talking in detail, he learned that the Nine Nether Bone Formation condenses the power of heaven and earth, gathers the souls of all spirits, and makes the crypt under the Demon Palace like a copper wall and an iron wall. If you force your way in and out, you will be torn apart by the power of heaven and earth, and will be devoured by the souls of all spirits. At the end of this large formation is unpredictable and unmatched power.
Although Xiao Jue learned the method of cracking it from the old man, he knew that it would be very difficult to break the formation completely. There are sixty-four condensing stones hidden in the eight directions of Baigu Mountain, and three hundred and sixty-five soul-gathering stones are hidden in the magic hall. They need to be removed one by one to paralyze the formation.
But these essence congealing stones and soul gathering stones are very hidden. According to the old man, he has only found four or five out of ten of them after staying here for three hundred years. It can be said that it is almost impossible to completely destroy the formation.
Xuan Tianlian is the treasure that all cultivators dream of. Although Xiao Jue is very eager to get it, he can only break the Jiuyou White Bone Formation and force his way in.
This night Xiao Jue stayed in the Demon Palace, and the inside of the main hall was gloomy and cold. According to the old man, it was just a little yin energy leaked from the Nine Nether Bone Formation. One can imagine how terrifying the cave is.
Xiao Jue didn't sleep well at night, recalling everything the old man said, he found that there were many doubtful points worthy of scrutiny, and the facts didn't seem to be exactly what the old man said. The more he thought about it, the more terrifying he felt. He thought he had thoroughly understood this hall, but after thinking about it, he found that this place was still extremely mysterious. Judging from his reaction, Xiao Jue had doubts about the identity of the old man. When he thought of this question, he felt a layer of cold sweat on his body, and he decided to leave here as soon as possible after dawn.
In the first half of the night, it has been tightly sticking to Xiao Jue's side, until in the second half of the night when Xiao Jue turned over, he accidentally pressed it so that it rolled its eyes, and then it roared angrily and moved half a meter away from him.
The old man was included in the corpse column, and the inside of the hall looked a little eerie...
