One hour.
About an hour passed, and the situation ahead was the same as before. Beyond the darkness and silence, there were the layers of stone steps that went up and did not change. Walking here, it was like walking on an endless ladder. But when I turned around, I could no longer see the way I came.
Lao Long stopped helplessly.
Whether I was moving forward carefully or running at full speed, everything around me was still the same. In a trance, it was like standing still, and it was like I was deeply trapped in an inescapable nothingness, which made people feel confused and at a loss!
If this goes on, how long will it take?
Lao Long looked around and couldn't help but take a step back along the stone steps. Just as he was hesitating, his expression suddenly changed.
At this moment, a faint light flashed quietly in the darkness not far behind him. It was like a crack in the door that was accidentally opened, very small, but eye-catching!
When Lao Long was about to pay attention, the faint light flashed suddenly, and then became stronger, and a cave entrance of more than ten feet in size slowly appeared from it.
In one step, the mystery was revealed!
If he had just kept moving forward without stopping, would he have made such a discovery?
Lao Long was secretly surprised, hesitated for a moment, and stepped towards the cave entrance. But in an instant, the scenery changed...
This is a cave, a hundred feet wide, with stone pillars supporting the four sides. On the dome that is dozens of feet high, pearls are shining, like stars, and the light pouring down illuminates the surroundings.
In the center of the cave, there is a protruding stone platform, more than ten feet high from the ground, twenty or thirty feet in size. It was extremely flat and smooth, but there were nine cushions placed in the middle and around it, and a thick stone pillar stood in the middle, piercing the dome of the cave. Whether it was the stone platform, the cushions, or the stone pillars, they were all made of topaz, faintly emitting an inexplicable and powerful aura that people dared not underestimate!
Where is this place?
The old dragon looked back.
Sure enough, the cave entrance that flashed with light was gone. Instead, there was a thick stone wall. However, looking left and right, there were traces of other cave entrances not far away, of different sizes, and there were more than ten of them. They were all covered by prohibitions and the situation was unclear, but they surrounded the cave in a circle, which looked very strange!
What's more, in addition to the topaz pillar in the middle, the four stone pillars supporting the surroundings were tall and consistent, but they were not exactly the same. They were made of four colors of jade, green, white, black, and red, and each had reliefs and was lifelike, all of which were majestic and unpredictable.
There are two stone pillars with very familiar carvings, one is a white tiger with wings on its back, and the other is a five-clawed green dragon...
The old dragon looked up and looked around, lost in thought.
The stone steps under his feet continued to extend, leading to the strange stone platform dozens of feet away.
After a while, the old dragon walked slowly up the stone steps.
Rather than saying that this is a cave, it is more appropriate to say that it is a cave house, or a simple but solemn hall. After searching all the way, could it be that he really broke into the place where the demon king practiced in the past? If so, why can't he see the traces of Chen Lianzi and others and Tiger Head...?
The old dragon gradually walked to the end of the stairs. He was about to step onto the yellow jade stone platform, but he was slightly startled.
The yellow jade stone platform is square and square, echoing the four stone pillars around it. Just as he was about to approach, a strong aura rushed towards him, which made people feel awed and dared not move forward.
"Bang--"
At this moment of surprise, a muffled sound came. The old dragon stopped and looked in the direction of the sound.
A few dozen feet away, a light flashed on the wall of a cave, and three figures emerged from it one after another. The leader was a middle-aged cultivator, looking around with an unclear expression. Behind him followed two old men, one with a sturdy body and the other with a dark face, both of whom looked excited and lost.
They were not others, but Chen Lianzi, Zimu, and Zigan. Behind the three of them was a dark cave entrance, which disappeared under the light of the ban in the blink of an eye...
When the three cave masters appeared, they were also quite surprised. Among them, Chen Lianzi just glanced at the old dragon and turned to walk away; Zimu and Zigan asked at the same time-
"It's you..."
"Why don't you see Yixiong and Jiaci coming..."
Yixiong and Jiaci are at the early stage of the immortal king, while the old dragon is slightly inferior. The former disappeared, but the latter came here safely. Zimu and Zigan were thinking about their respective disciples, and they could not help but feel a little more confused.
Lao Long replied casually: "The two of them were fighting and started fighting, so they were delayed..." He did not lie, but only told half of the truth, just to clear himself of the matter. If nothing else, he could not afford to offend the masters of the cave. However, their reunion showed that they were not in the wrong place. And the tiger head guy was still nowhere to be seen. Could it be that he had suffered a fate like a thorn in the thorn...
Hearing this, Zimu and Zigan did not doubt it, but looked at each other, and then took a step back with some caution. After a while, they smiled at each other again. One said: "No fighting, no quarreling, no brothers..." Another said: "That's true! You and I have a deep friendship..."
Lao Long easily dealt with the interrogation, but he didn't understand why. The two people clearly had a grudge, so why could they get along so well?
Chen Lianzi had arrived in front of another restriction.
Zimu and Ziqian ignored Old Long and followed him to the side, looking at him intently not far away.
After a while, Zimu couldn't hold himself back and said: "There are still more than ten cave entrances here. You and I are just exploring one or two of them, and the harvest is very little. Why not continue to break the ban..."
Ziqian said from the side: "There must be remains of the Demon Emperor in the remaining cave entrance. But if you get something, you have a good chance!"
Seeing that Chen Lianzi was silent, Zi Mu did not continue to persuade, but paced on the spot, motioning to the four stone pillars: "Look at the Suzaku of Feiyu Chilian, the Xuanwu of Nether Spirit Lord, and the two-winged king. The white tiger, the green dragon that flies into the sky and escapes from the earth, guards the universe with the power of four images and eight poles and protects the central sacred position. There is no doubt that this must be the cave of the Demon King..."
Ziqian nodded repeatedly and said, "What senior brother said is absolutely true!"
Zimu turned to Chen Lianzi and said with a smile: "Brother Taoist is far more knowledgeable than I am! It's human nature to have scruples before. Now it's time to work together to find opportunities..."
Ziqian echoed again: "Judging from the situation here, the Demon King must have been away for nine days before abandoning the cave, which happened to be an advantage for us, haha..."
The two sang in harmony, and their intentions were self-explanatory. If you want to break through the restrictions here, you still need the help of Chen Lianzi.
Chen Lianzi glanced at it lightly and said: "The restrictions on the two cave entrances just now are just empty. And the remaining restrictions are all intact. It is easier said than done to break them easily..." At this point, he stepped back a few steps. He stepped forward, pinched his hands, and then issued a string of magic formulas. Dozens of flashing runes suddenly flew away, but there was no movement at the sealed cave entrance three feet away.
Seeing this, Zimu said anxiously: "What should we do..."
Ziqian's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "For this plan, we must defeat it with force!"
Chen Lianzi snorted softly, holding his beard in his hands and thinking silently.
While the three cave masters were worried about being blocked, Lao Long turned his attention to the sealed cave entrances all around.
No wonder they didn't realize it before. It turned out that the three people had fled into the cave entrance to search. Although the restriction was incomplete, they still concealed their respective traces. He must be waiting for nothing to gain, so he wants to forcefully break the ban. And the restrictions left by the Demon King are anything but ordinary...
The old dragon turned to the other two stone pillars on the side of the cave and nodded secretly. There are lifelike reliefs on it. One is red all over, with flying feathers soaring into the sky, which is the Suzaku; the other is black armor covering the body, and the turtle and snake are integrated into one, which is the Xuanwu. The Green Dragon, White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu are the four ancient divine beasts. It is still unknown what the purpose of carving one of them on a stone pillar and erecting it here is.
However, apart from the boss Lin Yi, are there any real dragons in the world who are just like me? Was he created by the boss, or did he have another origin...
Thinking of this, Old Long couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. After a while, he put aside his ups and downs and turned to look at the topaz stone platform in front of him.
Could this yellow jade stone platform be the place where the Demon Emperor meditated and entered concentration? He was just one person, so why did he occupy nine futons? The futon made of jade is more like a stone pier, arranged one by one in the four directions and in the middle, and integrated with the stone platform, which is really confusing!
The three experts seemed to have no interest in the stone platform, why didn't they check it out on the spot...
Old Long slowly raised one foot and gently landed on the topaz stone platform. Immediately afterwards, a powerful power suddenly came from the soles of the feet, penetrating through the limbs and bones, making people tense up. And with a little use of magic power, there was nothing wrong with the whole body. He paused briefly and walked forward slowly.
At the same time, the three people in the distance looked back and turned away disapprovingly. Among them, Zi Mu also sneered: "It is great luck for a junior Golden Immortal to be able to visit the Demon King's retreat place in person..."
The 20- to 30-foot stone platform was spotless. The light of the dome pearl is reflected on it, just like the stars, magnificent and colorful. When you put your feet on it, you feel like you are walking alone in the hustle and bustle of the starry sky, and you feel like you are wandering in the vastness. Between reality and illusion, it makes people feel a little more detached and forgetful about themselves!
Old Long slowly came to the center of the stone platform and couldn't help but look up.
In the center of the jade platform, a topaz pillar stands like a sky. It is two feet thick and reaches straight into the cave ceiling. It is mysterious and tall. There are no carvings on it, it is smooth and exudes a golden luster, adding a bit of solemnity and solemnity to its majestic momentum.
After a while, Lao Long still couldn't figure out the reason. He lowered his eyes in front of him, looking curious.
At the foot of the stone pillar, there was a solitary futon like a stone pillar.
Lao Long looked at the futon intently, still not sure why. He turned around and wanted to look elsewhere, but suddenly turned back...
At the same time, a muffled sound came from dozens of feet away...
