Chapter 6 Darkest
"Enter the city."
Lu Qingshan clasped his fingers with both hands and made several strange spiritual seals, which disappeared into the vast and majestic city wall in front of him.
These spiritual seals are pieced together to form a message that only Tianhe City can receive and analyze. It not only contains a request to enter the city, but also indicates one's identity and origin.
"Buzz!"
A fairy light bloomed on the city wall of Tianhe City, and then a circle of light appeared on the city wall, and an old monk of unknown age walked out of it.
"I have been waiting for you, fellow Taoist, for a long time. Is this the new generation master of the Sword Sect? He is indeed a dragon and a phoenix among men." The old monk came over and learned Lu Qingshan's identity from the spiritual seal that Lu Qingshan had just made, so he spoke very politely. .
He is also a great monk himself, possessing the cultivation level of the Three Tribulations Realm. There is a sense of vicissitudes in his eyes that can only be accumulated over the years.
"Tianhe City does not have a city gate, only this one," the old monk pointed at the halo of light that appeared on the city wall and introduced: "Sect Master Lu, please come with me into the city. You probably haven't been to Tianhe City yet."
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly.
The old monk turned around and disappeared into the circle of light. Lu Qingshan followed immediately without hesitation.
After the two figures disappeared, the halo of light also disappeared, and the city wall stood tall and complete.
Lu Qingshan's eyes flashed, and he was brought into Tianhe City by the old monk.
What you can see is a vast area of houses and markets, with people coming and going, but most of these people are low-level monks, or even mortals.
"They are all descendants of the monks who guarded the city in Tianhe City. They were born in Tianhe City and also lived in Tianhe City. Those with talent for cultivation, like their ancestors, became the monks who guarded the city of Tianhe City.
However, there are also many people who have no talent for cultivation, as Sect Leader Lu sees now. "
The old monk was a qualified guide. Seeing the doubtful look in Lu Qingshan's eyes, he immediately explained to him.
The old monk introduced the features of Tianhe City to Lu Qingshan while taking Lu Qingshan deep into Tianhe City.
They say Tianhe City is huge, but just how huge it is is really unimaginable without going there in person.
——There are rivers in the city, which Lu Qingshan can understand, but there are even continuous mountains in Tianhe City, and there are even waterfalls flowing down from them.
"That is a meteor from the sky. When the city was built, it was taken down by Xia Daozu and placed in Tianhe City as a mountain." The old monk said.
Lu Qingshan was speechless, feeling it was too incredible.
If it weren't for the outer city walls, this place wouldn't look like a city, but a small world.
As we continue to go deeper into Tianhe City, the lowest cultivation level of the monks we meet on the road are already at the Fusion Realm.
The guardian monks of Tianhe City are some elites sent by the major sects in the seven human regions to guard the city, as well as accomplished casual cultivators who go there voluntarily.
Later, due to Tianhe City's unique environment and Daxia's unsparing resource support, Tianhe City gradually became a "holy land"-like existence, with an extremely powerful ability to absorb monks and cultivate monks.
Therefore, in the later period, although Tianhe City no longer needed the support of personnel from various major sects, the number of high-level monks in the city was still increasing.
Gradually, Lu Qingshan and the old monk approached the center of Tianhe City.
This journey took half a day.
Although it was because I was visiting Tianhe City and I didn't use the escape technique, I could still see what kind of huge city Tianhe City is.
The center of Tianhe City is a forbidden area, so the old monk did not take Lu Qingshan there.
Lu Qingshan looked into the distance and saw an extremely thick dry tree standing there.
The dead wood has lost all vitality. It has been dead for who knows how many years, but for some reason, it has not been weathered and it just exists.
Moreover, Lu Qingshan could occasionally see power like thunder flowing through the cracks in the dead wood.
"That's...?" Lu Qingshan asked proactively.
Because this piece of dead wood gave him a feeling of palpitations, which was definitely unusual.
"This is a sacred object left by Xia Daozu back then. It has the power of Daozu and is enough to suppress an area." The old monk replied.
"It's just that after Xia Daozu disappeared, the sacred objects began to dry up until they became what they are now."
Lu Qingshan was lost in thought and stared blankly at the dead wood.
Does this mean that Xia Daozu is in the same state as this holy object?
He couldn't help but think of the conversation with some of Xia Daozu's souls in the Daoyuan world.
Is it really gone?
Maybe not...
In any case, although the holy object is dry, it has never been completely weathered, and the power of the Tao Ancestor is even flowing through it.
The same is true for Xia Daozu. He is the first person in Cangqiongtian to reach the ancestral realm in so many years. Will he really die so easily?
"There are many legends about Xia Daozu. The one that is most widely circulated in our Tianhe City and is recognized by the most people is," the old monk was thoughtful and knew what Lu Qingshan was thinking, and added: "Xia Daozu broke through the ancestral realm and encountered Something unexpected happened, and in order to solve the accident, he chose to kill himself and sit on the verge of death."
"That's why the sacred objects he left behind will begin to dry up, but the sacred objects are not completely dead yet, and there will be a day when the dead trees will regain their spring.
Just like Xia Daozu, sooner or later there will be a day when he breaks the barrier of death and is reborn in Nirvana. "Even an old monk who has lived for countless years cannot contain his excitement when mentioning Xia Daozu.
But it's understandable.
For the new generation of monks like Lu Qingshan, Xia Daozu is just a figure living in legend.
But for the old monks, Xia Daozu was the savior who saved them from dire straits and was a living legend.
The meanings are ultimately different.
.........
Absolute spirit realm.
This is a strange area. Because of the Yuanci mineral veins in the ground, there is no spiritual energy in this area, and it can even suppress the spiritual energy in the monks' bodies.
Lu Qingshan had briefly visited this realm of extraordinary spirits because of Qitian.
The center of the Jueling Realm is a small city called Yuanci City. It is quite lively, and most of them are people who work in the Yuanci mining industry.
It's late at night and everything is silent.
at this time.
A burly figure appeared.
Appeared in the sky above Yuanci City.
It is a strange creature with four arms and a vague human shape. It is suspended above Yuanci City.
This is an impossible thing.
How can one fly in the realm of absolute souls?
But it happened to do it.
"Is this here?" The creature looked down at the city below and murmured softly.
It slowly raised its head, revealing a ferocious face, which also had four eyes and black skin. It was extremely ugly, but it seemed familiar.
.......Rahu!
"Clear the place first and then talk."
He stretched out his hand, and a thick cloud of blood emerged from his palm, rapidly expanding and spreading out.
In just a moment, the blood cloud completely enveloped Yuanci City below, the smell of blood overflowed, and numerous blood rays shot out.
Everything is completely silent, truly everything is silent.
There is no more sound, because there is no longer any living creature in Yuanci City below, not even an insect!
Luo Hu sneered, closed his palms slightly, and the blood cloud turned into a big knife, slashing down.
Boom!
The bloody light swirled, and the bloody knife went downwards and struck straight towards the ground.
The buildings in Yuanci City collapsed, stone debris flew, and finally a huge crack opened in the ground.
Bottomless.
Everything seems to be nothing special.
But the next moment, the crack actually twisted and transformed, as if it was alive, and the broken place quickly recovered.
Luo Hu's eyes lit up.
He did not hesitate and quickly rushed in before the crack could be restored.
This is a huge and dark underground space without any life fluctuations. The aura of the unparalleled spirit is permeated, but it has no impact on Luo Hu, and his four eyes can completely penetrate the darkness.
In front of Luohu, there is a cave with sapphire as the stairs and white jade as the door.
He couldn't help but raise his head and look at the portal, as if he sensed something, his whole body trembled.
Then, the smile at the corner of Luo Hu's mouth slowly widened, and finally turned into a laugh, which echoed in the underground space.
"Finally found you, the place where Xia Zu sits in prison!"
