Volume 2: Yun Ji Cang Hai Chapter 763: Hou Tu Pagoda Mountain
A tower can be seen in the distance, and a mountain can be seen in the near distance.
A yellowish-brown tower, or a mountain, stands more than ten miles away, like a tower that stretches from the ground to the sky. It is shrouded in clouds and mist, mysterious and unpredictable, and makes people look up to it.
This is the Hou Tu Tower in Hou Tu Wonderland!
Lin Yi widened his eyes with curiosity, and spread his consciousness to carefully check it. The huge yellowish-brown tower body was as simple and mottled as a wind-eroded cliff, full of long-silent vicissitudes and inexplicable and majestic momentum. The situation below a thousand feet can still be seen clearly, but the situation above a thousand feet is hidden in the clouds and mist, and it is difficult to see the clues.
After a while, there was no abnormality, and Lin Yi flew forward three feet off the ground. However, in a moment, his body suddenly sank, and his feet had landed on a long and oblique stone staircase. At the same time, rich spiritual energy and more abundant vitality rushed towards him, making the old dragon laugh happily, and then there was no movement.
Perhaps it was due to the prohibition of heaven and earth, or the magic of Hou Tu Tower, an invisible heavy burden suddenly descended, forcing people to fly off the ground.
Standing firmly, Lin Yi looked around in surprise. The stone steps under his feet surrounded the giant tower like a hillside, and it was a thousand feet long in front, with countless layers of stairs.
At the end of the stone steps was the tower body that stood like a cliff, and there was a tower door eight or nine feet high. The tall doorway was deep, with faint clouds and mist coming out, making it difficult to tell what was going on.
When Lin Yi raised his feet, he hesitated a little and actually stepped back from the stone steps. Then, his figure became lighter, he stepped into the air and looked around again.
There is no doubt that as long as he stepped into the stone steps, it was as if there was a heavy burden of thousands of pounds on his body, making it difficult for him to walk. Not only that, the operation of magic power was slow, and his spiritual consciousness was also much worse than before.
There are prohibitions all over the fairyland, and this place is even more extraordinary! However, this huge Hou Tu Tower has only one gate?
After thinking for a while, Lin Yi flew to the right along the edge of the stone steps. A few miles away, he paused, frowned slightly, and continued to move forward. After walking and stopping like this, half an hour later, he returned to the original place, his face full of surprise.
After flying around the Hou Tu Tower, there was still only one gate at the end of the stone steps. No matter where you look from, the deep doorway seems to have never changed, just waiting for someone to enter...
Faced with this strange situation, Lin Yi was puzzled and simply took out a jade slip to check it out. If nothing unexpected happens, the map in his hand should come from Wen Daozi. It not only contains the description of the "Wujiu" land, but also detailed illustrations inside the Hou Tu Tower.
When crossing the "Wujiu" land, due to the situation, this map was not of much use. As for the Hou Tu Tower that is about to be entered, having a map in hand can really save a lot of trouble.
After a stick of incense, Lin Yi put away the jade slip, looking puzzled. Regarding the strange tower gate, there is only one sentence in the map: The road to immortality begins with your feet...?
Turning to look up at the giant tower, Lin Yi thought secretly. As Wen Xuanzi said before, the Hou Tu Tower is divided into nine realms. This section of the stone tower below a thousand feet is the location of the Chi Ming Realm. Going through the clouds and mist, they are the Xuan Ming Realm, Yao Ming Realm, Xu Ming Realm, Guan Ming Realm, Tai Yuan Realm, Xu Wu Realm, Tai Ji Realm and Wu Ji Realm. Each realm is divided into nine layers, a total of ninety-nine eighty-one layers, with a mysterious and unpredictable world.
In addition, inside the Hou Tu Tower, there are a myriad of restrictions everywhere, making the situations of the nine realms different. If you are not careful when walking through them, you will end up in an irreversible end. This tower not only contains the remains of immortals, but is also said to contain a path to the immortal realm, which is why the monks of Jiuzhou flock to it. As the saying goes, danger and opportunity coexist!
Lin Yi put away the jade slip, landed again, and spit out a black light that flew into the Qiankun Ring. After thinking about it, he thought there was nothing wrong, so he stepped on the stone steps and walked up slowly.
The stone steps surrounding the Houtu Tower are one foot wide and thick, slanting straight for a thousand feet, with a magnificent momentum. Walking among them, Lin Yi, dressed in gray, is not very conspicuous. But he seems to be climbing a mountain, with a solemn expression and slow steps.
Every time he climbs a step, the restrictions of heaven and earth will increase by one point, and people cannot use their magic power to resist it. The further he goes, the slower Lin Yi's steps become. Half an hour later, he walked more than three hundred feet away. He couldn't help but stop to take a breath and was stunned. In this way, wouldn't it be exhausting to reach the end?
When he came here, he fought with Wen Baizi desperately, and the air-breaking escape he performed along the way had already used up 60% to 70% of his spiritual power. It was only because of the strength of the three infants that Lin Yi was able to hold on until now. At this moment, he dared not find another place to rest. If he did not enter the Houtu Tower in time to avoid it, when Wen Baizi and others chased him and attacked again, he would have no strength to fight.
Without thinking, Lin Yi took out two spiritual stones and held them in his palm. He looked up and looked at them, raised his eyebrows slightly, and continued to move forward...
Half a day later, Lin Yi gradually walked to the top of the stone steps. The Houtu Tower was just a hundred feet away, but his eyes were wide open, his mind was floating, and he was exhausted. He had no choice but to stop, crushed the useless spiritual stones and threw them away, frowning angrily.
When the journey was halfway through, the burden of the ban suddenly doubled. Under pressure, Lin Yi had to fight with it with all his strength. However, the spiritual stones he absorbed were not enough to cover his expenditure. With his remaining cultivation, he could only grit his teeth and walk out 900 feet. If he wanted to move forward, the remaining stone steps were not just a hundred feet away. Every step was difficult as he was carrying a mountain that was getting heavier and heavier.
Lin Yi turned his head and looked behind him, curling his lips in dissatisfaction. Without spiritual power to protect his body, ordinary cultivators can only return the same way. Otherwise, they are afraid of their lives. And I will go there with bare hands, and see what happens...
After calming down a little, Lin Yi clenched his fists, and the bones around him crackled. Without cultivation, he had to rely on strong muscles and bones to walk the hundred steps. After a while, with a wild and fierce look between his eyebrows, he raised his foot and stepped forward.
"Bang——"
Unlike before, Lin Yi's footsteps made a sound at this time. After stepping over a step, the ubiquitous heavy pressure came, he groaned and straightened his body.
At the same time, the dragon baby in the sea of qi closed his eyes, but his face was also full of madness. He wanted to help, but his magic power was not enough, so he could only absorb it while unwillingly following Lin Yi to forcibly operate the "Shenglong Jue". The demon infant and the Taoist infant on the side were unwilling to meddle in other matters, and were busy with their own breathing exercises.
As they approached the Houtu Tower, the immortal energy contained in the spiritual energy became more and more concentrated. When the dragon infant and the demon infant absorbed the spiritual energy, they were unwilling to let go of the vital energy. Unconsciously, the dragon infant actually had a trace of inexplicable energy in his body.
"Bang——"
After his footsteps fell, Lin Yi's body shook and he tried to move forward. His forehead veins were prominent, his cheeks showed a layer of light gold, and there were constant crisp sounds between his limbs and bones.
After walking up another thirty feet, Lin Yi's feet staggered a little, and his body was slightly hunched. It was obvious that he had reached the end of his strength. Although his strength of muscles and bones was rare, it was still slightly insufficient due to the lack of mana. The closer he got to the Houtu Tower, the stronger the power of the heaven and earth restrictions became, making it unbearable for him.
Lin Yi gritted his teeth and walked another twenty feet away. The heavy weight on his back had almost pressed him to the ground. He trembled and relaxed for a while, then raised his head unyieldingly, with a layer of fine beads of sweat on his face.
The Houtu Tower is just ahead, I don't believe I can't get through the last fifty feet! After taking a deep breath, Lin Yi grunted and straightened his waist with difficulty. Inexplicably, his heart was startled, as if he remembered something. As his mind went, a layer of strange evil spirit flashed between his eyebrows.
In a moment, the explosion between Lin Yi's bones stopped abruptly, and the veins under the light golden skin beat for a while, and strong power gradually generated and came in. After a while, a faint green dragon shadow emerged from the body, appearing and disappearing from time to time. He couldn't help but slightly curl up the corners of his mouth, and his solemn expression slowed down, and the sweat on his cheeks disappeared.
Different from the dragon spirit condensed before, this dragon shadow had a ferocious and arrogant look, and exuded a perverse and tyrannical evil spirit all over his body. The moment it appeared, the strange power of the dragon infant suddenly filled his limbs and bones. Lin Yi stood up with his eyes burning.
Without hesitation, Lin Yi stepped up the steps, his feet were very steady. As he walked forward step by step, the dragon shadow hovering around him slowly solidified.
It turned out to be a small and ferocious green dragon, with a murderous aura. There was a clearly visible golden line flashing on its back, which made it even more extraordinary. The stronger the prohibition of heaven and earth, the more rampant its fighting spirit became, making Lin Yi's feet much calmer.
After a cup of tea, Lin Yi was finally able to step on the last step. At the same time, the burden of heaven and earth suddenly disappeared. In surprise, he couldn't help but turn around and look back. The figure of the dragon faded and was taken into its body.
The thousand-foot-long stone steps totaled 9,999 steps. And it took a whole day to cross this short distance. It was really not easy to walk step by step! Perhaps this is the meaning of the sentence in the map.
However, after this difficult training, it was not without gain! With his strong bones and muscles, he fought with all his strength after exhausting his cultivation, which was in line with the way of "Shenglong Jue" to break and then live. The dragon baby was in harmony with his soul, and secretly urged the "Shenglong Jue" to help, which made the "Dragon Fighting Jue" that had already been perfected perfect and upgraded to the realm of "Demon Dragon Jue"...
Doing two things at the same time, not forgetting to pay attention to the situation in his body, Lin Yi looked around. The spiritual energy here became scarce, and the more concentrated Yuan Qi was floating around. Next to the giant tower was a stone terrace with a width of 100 feet, and at the end was the only tall doorway. So close, the situation behind the faint cloud was still unclear.
After a little consideration, Lin Yi did not rush to enter the Houtu Tower. He took out two more spiritual stones and sat cross-legged beside the stone steps, thinking.
At this time, in the sea of qi, the three Yuanying were all recovering their physical strength. The strange spiritual power in the dragon baby's body is different from the past, but also very magical. Why is this...
