Chapter 845 44. Yongchun Terrace
In Lorewalker Zhou Zhuo's legendary story about Shaohao, the last emperor of pandaren, in order to save the suffering of the entire Pandaria, Shaohao turned himself into a mist and isolated his hometown from the whole world. And Shaohao's ritual of transforming himself into mist ten thousand years ago was carried out in his legendary palace, Yongchun Terrace.
In terms of pandaren architectural style, an emperor's palace must be very magnificent and prosperous. This can be seen from the Tianchanyuan, which occupies several mountains in the Jade Forest and serves as the main body of the building. There was once a pandaren emperor. The place where they dealt with government affairs, and Yongchun Terrace was the place where the emperors used to rest and take vacations.
But 10,000 years ago, on the continent of Pandaria, the records about Yongchun Terrace could only be seen in the scrolls of lorewalkers, because this palace was at the moment when Emperor Shaohao turned into the mist 10,000 years ago. It has been completely shrouded in mist. There are rumors that the soul of Emperor Shaohao has actually stayed in Yongchun Terrace, protecting his people for thousands of years, but there are also people who say that Emperor Shaohao is preserved in Yongchun Terrace. Gifts and treasures left to those who come after.
But these statements are actually more like descriptions that ordinary people use to comfort themselves or satisfy their curiosity.
"There are indeed some precious things in the Terrace of Yongchun, at least what Shaohao carries with him is the legendary magic staff inherited from the pandaren emperor, and the dragon mist staff is still sealed there, as the main body of the mist ceremony."
Turned into the size of an ordinary tiger, in the mountains of Kun-Lai Mountain and the Jade Forest Church, Xuen, the white tiger who led the way for Tyrion, looked at this majestic and ancient holy land, and said softly:
"In my memory, Shaohao's incarnation into the mist was a very sudden event. I still remember the expression on his face, which was a mixture of surprise and slight fear...His body collapsed and merged into the He himself did not seem to have expected the matter of the mist, and it is likely that there were some problems in the ceremony."
The mighty Tianzun sighed with some regret:
"Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time left for the whole of Pandaria. We couldn't even rescue Shaohao in that situation. Later, when the fog was getting thicker, we heard Shaohao's plea. Yongchun Terrace was permanently closed because of an unexpected "trouble", and that was already 10,000 years ago."
"Pride...or rather, the mysterious Sha of Pride that has never been seen in Pandaria, right?"
The great lord Tyrion standing next to the white tiger stood on the cliff, looking down, the whole mountain stream came into view, under his gaze, on the mountainside, there was indeed a mountain that was mysteriously The mist shrouded tightly, and the mist seemed to have its own consciousness, guarding between the platforms on the mountainside, and for ten thousand years, it refused to approach any creature.
"Are you worried that the black ox Niuzao infected with sha energy will destroy the ritual left by Shaohao and release the possibly most terrifying Sha of Pride among the seven evil spirits?"
Facing the great lord's question, Xuen nodded slightly. This beautiful big cat with blue and white lightning entwined all over his body did not hide his anxiety. It whispered:
"Great lord of the outlanders, you have personally seen the scene of the desert raging on this land, just overnight, 26 pandaren towns have become a dead zone, if it is not for the help of you and your army , I am afraid that the entire Kun-Lai Mountains will now become ghosts on earth, that is the scariest thing we imagined, however, the most powerful of the seven evil spirits, the Sha of Fear and the Sha of Pride, have not yet released their power..."
The white tiger's worry is understandable, but the great lord is more concerned about another issue at this time. He took the crystal bottle sealed with the Sha of Hatred from his waist, and looked at the Sha energy that turned like black mist in the bottle, He asked softly:
"Speaking of which, Xuen, have you and your companions never thought about, Sha, where did this kind of thing come from?"
The question of the great lord made the Supreme God Xuen startled for a moment. The big cat squatted on the stone, and it looked back at Tyrion with its lightning-ridden eyes. After a while, it shook its head:
"We, the so-called supreme gods, were born because of a great being. I still vaguely remember that I was brought out of a mysterious building in Kun-Lai Mountains by that great being. It was in that palace-like place that my companions and I received the power of the elements in strange instruments... We were charged with defending this land."
"We didn't come naturally, I know this better than anyone, and even though I haven't seen that great being for tens of thousands of years, I can still remember his name... His name is Rai, and those rebellious mogu still Before he went mad, they respectfully called him "Rayden", which means "the great master Lai". We didn't have much communication with the great Lai, but I can feel that the reason why Lai appeared on this land , perhaps the reason is really related to evil spirits.”
The white tiger's eyes became serious, it looked at the great lord:
"Could it be that you know the root cause of all this? You have already seen the essence behind all the disasters in Pandaria?"
"Yes I know!"
Tyrion answered Baihu's question frankly, but he raised his hand to stop Baihu from asking further questions. He said:
"But it's not yet time, I can't tell you all of this, but what I will tell you is that the Sha is just a phenomenon, even if I help you remove all the Sha now, including the mysterious Sha of Pride , that is only a superficial solution to the problem. What you need to understand is that under the land of Pandaria, there are some ancient evil things buried. Unless they are taken away from this continent, they will be eradicated after more than ten years The Sha Demon will appear again."
"And this is exactly the purpose of my trip to Pandaria, and when time permits, I will give you the opportunity to witness the origin of everything... But Xuen, once you accept my kindness, some You have to do it!"
Tyrion's nagging description made White Tiger Xuen a little incomprehensible, but it had existed as the supreme god for tens of thousands of years, and it could feel that the great lord was not fooling it with illusory things. Ang may really have mastered some secrets that belong only to the gods.
"Okay, don't think too much about it!"
The high lord moved his wrist, and he said to Xuen:
"The mission of the Supreme God is greater and more difficult than what you think, but at this moment, I can only tell you that I am walking on the same road as you, let's go, go to Yongchun Terrace, and deal with it." The Sha of Fear... I have a hunch that the Sha of Pride you are worried about is not here! But here, it does have something to do with the Sha of Pride."
It is almost impossible for ordinary people to enter Yongchun Terrace, the emperor's palace that has been surrounded by mist for nearly ten thousand years. The lingering mist prevents anyone from approaching. It seems so soft that it can be touched by a hand. It can be pushed away, but when you really go deep into it, you will find that the existence of this layer of fog is stronger and more difficult to entangle than any visible wall.
Of course, that's only for mortals. For a supreme god and a master of the dead, the fog is obviously not strong enough. Facing Tyrion's withered and withered power of the dead, These mist composed of pure magic quickly spread out a passage.
"The gate is broken..."
When he arrived at Yongchun Terrace's 5-person-tall, vermilion grand gate, Xue Nu saw the Yongchun Terrace gate that had been knocked open from the front at a glance. It is the trace left by the black bull Niuzao infected by the Sha of Fear.
Its previous guess was correct!
"Come on!"
The white tiger rushed out of Yongchun Terrace first, followed by the great lord. After entering this splendid palace, Tyrion saw the white jade square in Yongchun Terrace at first sight. The three corpses that fell on the ground were humanoid creatures wearing armor and robes, but they had carp-like heads, and their hands and legs were covered with fins, which looked very strange.
"This is the elders of the Jinyu people who helped Shaohao perform the mist ceremony ten thousand years ago. They are best at flowing water prophecy and various powerful magic, and they have survived in the mist until now..."
Baihu Xuenu sniffed the smell of blood in the air, and the supreme angel said sadly:
"These honorable heroes died 1 day ago, we are late."
"not late!"
The great lord hooked his fingers, and three illusory souls were pulled out from the cold corpse. After briefly scanning the memories of these three souls, Tyrion looked up into the depths of Yongchun Terrace. A palace shrouded in mist.
"Niuzao went there, and I will go there too, Xuen, you are here to block the attackers!"
When Tyrion moved his fingers, the black Ashbringer jumped into his hand, and his figure rushed towards the misty palace ahead like lightning, and the moment he crossed the platform, there was a terrifying dragon roar and the sound of the tide rolling. It sounded in this ancient palace, but the lightning and ice arrows flying all over the sky could not stop the figure of the great lord.
"Candle Dragon! Lei Shi! I am your opponent!"
The White Tiger Xue Nu roared and rushed into the place where the White Jade Platform connected to the Misty Palace, the Supreme God turned into a solid body, and amidst the resonant roar of the tiger, the thunder and lightning flying all over the sky turned into a dense net, completely corroding the sha energy in front of him A golden serpent, and a strange ancient water spirit wrapped in it.
Obviously, Xue Nu knew the two creatures in front of him. Before Yongchun Terrace was closed ten thousand years ago, they might have been old friends with each other.
However, with the current situation, there is no time left for old friends to reminisce about the old days.
While the white tiger was fighting to the death with the guardian of Yongchun Terrace who was infected by sha energy, Tyrion also rushed into the palace surrounded by black sha energy mist, and he landed lightly on the dusty earth. On the sky, among the dust all over the sky, Tyrion saw an ancient ritual altar, and the staff of the dragon mist inserted on the altar, dotted with golden Pandaren prayer flags, and entwined with a blue halo, that The symbol of Emperor Shaohao, the most legendary legendary weapon in Pandaria.
Of course, there is also the Black Niu Niuzao standing in front of the altar, his whole body corroded by black and white Sha energy, and his eyes shining with cruel light...
Seeing Tyrion coming forward alone with a sword in hand, the huge black bull lowered his head a little restlessly. Its unique four horns hidden between the lush mane were shining with cold light. The hind hooves of the huge monster moved on the ground. Obviously, it also felt the strong threat from the Lord of the Dead Realm in front of it.
And behind the black bull's body, a weird Sha Demon is trying to invade the three-inch barrier protected by the Dragon Misty Staff. The body of that Sha Demon is no different from other Sha Demons. It is still made of twisted and rolling black The twisted figure made of mist resembles bugs and monsters, with seven eyes, a face very similar to that of a black goat, and sha energy limbs extending from the whole body.
The only thing that makes it look weird is the dark red halo wrapped around the Sha Demon's body... full of a mysterious and depraved aura.
This is the Sha of Fear, the physical manifestation of the fear of all things... the most powerful of the 6 existing Sha!
"Don't let him bother me!"
This Sha of Fear can actually speak...and it seems to have some thinking, which is much better than the other dumb Sha Demons.
"kill him!"
Sha of Fear gave an order, and the black bull Niuzao, who had been eroded by the Sha energy, roared and exerted force with all four hooves. This terrifying Heavenly Venerable, the most brute force among the supreme gods, called for the power of the earth, with an overwhelming power , charging towards the slender lord in front of him, the crimson light in its eyes became more and more terrifying, it looked like it was suffering from mad cow disease.
Facing the crashing black bull, the great lord did not back down, on the contrary, he took a step forward, and the heavy and gloomy power of the death world wrapped around his body quickly like armor, rushing at Niuzao. At the moment before Tyrion's eyes, the dead ghost warrior, whom he had not seen for a long time, broke through the sha energy. Under the control of Tyrion, the size of this huge incarnation of the dead world expanded rapidly, and finally reached 20% larger than Niuzao's prototype. Mi, this terrifying warrior like a mountain uttered a deep battle roar. The moment the black bull bumped over, the energy long sword in its hand was like a war hammer, and it swung down fiercely, hitting it precisely On Xuanniu's head.
"kuang"
This earth-shattering loud noise caused the ground of the Misty Palace of Yongchun Terrace to be torn apart by the huge force collision, the ancient and gorgeous floor tiles cracked, and the surrounding lakes seemed to have been hit by an earthquake. The water wave rushed to the sky, and the collision between the two was like the epicenter of an earthquake. Even in the rapid propagation, the mighty Tianzun, who was still fighting fiercely outside the fog, couldn't help but look up and look at the battlefield where the fog was blown away.
The mist wrapped in sha energy was blown away by a huge force, and the death energy giant sword in the hands of Tyrion's death ghost warrior was shattered. Before his eyes, Niuzao, who was forced to stop the most terrifying charge, was dizzy Almost backed away.
The guardian Tianzun kept shaking his head, and it was dizzy from this heavy blow, but it also seemed to use the method of "physical therapy" to wake up Niuzao from that shady state.
"Man, your brain is so hard, I beat you so hard that my hands are a little sore."
In Tyrion's complaints, between the fingers of the dead ghost warrior, another energy giant sword appeared in its hand:
"But since you're still obsessed... then I can only wake you up."
"Well, this might, a little hurt..."
