Chapter 557: The Path to the Immortal Realm
Nantianmen, this is one of the heavenly gates leading to the immortal world and an iconic symbol of the immortal world!
But at this moment, it appeared deep in the core of Tianhuang Ancient Mine.
This really made Gu Changqing find it difficult to calm down.
Moreover, if this boundary monument is really the legendary Nantianmen boundary monument in the immortal world.
Could it be that the ruins of the palace behind this boundary monument are also the ruins of a certain fairy court in the fairy world?
Gu Changqing looked far into the distance.
He had a panoramic view of thousands of miles of ruins.
These thousands of miles of ruins are dominated by a majestic palace, surrounded by nine heavenly palaces.
In addition to the nine heavenly palaces, there are thousands of star-like palaces of different sizes surrounding it.
It is magnificent and boundless.
Although they have all been turned into ruins and become ruins.
But from these ruins, we can imagine what a grand scene it would have been like when all these palaces were intact.
Take a deep breath and calm down the agitation in your heart.
Gu Changqing activated his consciousness again and carefully understood the world. After a moment, he opened his eyes, and new doubts emerged in his eyes.
He could feel that this ruin was the place where all the spiritual energy in this one hundred thousand miles of heaven and earth finally gathered.
But the strange thing is that after this spiritual energy flowed, they disappeared out of thin air.
It is like a big river rushing into the sea, but after reaching the mouth of the sea, it does not fall into the ocean or evaporate.
Instead, he fell directly into nothingness!
This situation is really weird!
Gu Changqing activated his consciousness again, relying on the blessing of the domain, trying to find the source of this strange situation and capture some clues.
Unfortunately, he gave up after trying it for a while.
Different from the previous exploration, this time no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to detect the details and capture the whereabouts of the spiritual energy.
"Could it be that the weirdness is in these ruins?"
Gu Changqing looked at the ruins at his feet again, released his spiritual power, fell to the ground, and walked into the ruins.
As soon as he landed, Gu Changqing's eyebrows jumped.
He felt that in his sea of consciousness, a magical trump card awakened at this moment!
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
Inside Gu Changqing's body, a big cauldron buzzed and trembled, its sound was melodious.
It was the Purple Qi Cauldron of All Beings that he had transformed by gathering the fortunes of all races and spirits in the Northern Wilderness. It was awakened at this moment, making Gu Changqing slightly startled. He immediately concentrated on sensing the Purple Qi Cauldron of All Living Beings.
With the help of the Purple Qi Cauldron of All Beings, Gu Changqing instantly captured a strange fluctuation. That fluctuation came from the center of the ruins under his feet, the largest and most magnificent underground palace of heaven!
"brush!"
Without hesitation, Gu Changqing turned into a flying rainbow in a flash, escaped into the ground, and quickly approached the location of the purple energy cauldron that touched all living beings.
Within a moment, he successfully approached the area.
It was a large array of golden light, hidden deep underground.
The core area of Tianhuang Ancient Mine, underground, is one of the largest earth veins in the Northern Wilderness Continent.
The spiritual energy fluctuations are particularly strong.
It is precisely because of the cover of the earth's veins that all the fluctuations of this magical formation have become extremely hidden.
In addition, the level of this formation is extremely high.
Although it was a bit broken, Gu Changqing's feelings were clear.
"The level of this formation is probably close to the level of the immortal realm!"
A large formation of quasi-immortal level stood like this deep in the earth's veins.
The spiritual energy of this world was quietly extracted and absorbed by this formation, and gathered in the center of the formation.
But Gu Changqing was confused.
"Why does this great formation react to the Purple Qi Cauldron of All Living Beings?"
Just when Gu Changqing was confused.
"Buzz!"
Another burst of spiritual energy was sent in from the outside world.
Directly moved from the edge of the ruins to the center of the formation.
And the moment this spiritual energy fell into the formation, Gu Changqing also understood the source of the strangeness!
In the center of the formation, there were souls one after another. After the spiritual energy fell into the formation, they were lifted up by the spiritual energy.
These souls originally had no form.
But with the blessing of spiritual energy, it was able to condense into reality.
However, this is not a good thing.
Because they have a form, they cannot escape the strangulation of the large formation, the moment the form is condensed.
Within the formation, streaks of divine light rose up, like chains or long knives.
Directly strangle and refine these souls, and condense them into countless fragments!
Every fragment sparkles with spiritual light and contains Dao brilliance.
Gu Changqing is no stranger to such fluctuations.
A similar situation will occur when he absorbs and refines waste rocks and waste crystals!
Those fragments are all auras that contain the true meaning of the law.
The difference is that Gu Changqing got it from wild rocks and crystals, and this great formation came from these souls!
"This formation... is so weird and vicious!"
Gu Changqing has seen many methods of swallowing living beings, refining them, blood sacrifices, and ways to increase one's own cultivation.
Even if he is willing, the Heaven-Swallowing Great Divine Power can be used not only on corpse demons and the like, but also on living creatures.
But Gu Changqing didn't bother to do this kind of method.
But even if Gu Changqing uses the Heaven-Swallowing Divine Power, he can only devour his cultivation and increase his spiritual power accumulation.
They cannot absorb and refine the laws of the Great Dao that they have comprehended.
The Law of the Great Dao, even if you build a domain level, even if you build a small world.
Ultimately, it is still an existence like a mirror, a flower in the water, and the moon, and it exists only if it depends on the practitioner.
Once a cultivator dies, the fruits of his life-long cultivation may be preserved.
But the domain and the like will only collapse and dissipate on the spot, and at most a part of it can be preserved with the help of some external objects.
But if you want to condense energy crystal cores and be absorbed and refined by future generations like cultivation, don't even think about it.
But now, this formation can forcibly refine and extract the great Dao perception in the souls of living beings.
This is really beyond Gu Changqing's imagination!
"The grade of this formation may not have reached the realm of immortals, but this method... can definitely be arranged by an existence at the level of immortals!"
Gu Changqing took a deep breath, but there was still confusion in his eyes.
That is, why did the Purple Qi Cauldron of All Living Beings guide him here.
Could it be that the person who arranged this formation is related to the living beings in the Northern Wilderness?
Just when Gu Changqing was puzzled.
In the formation, another spiritual energy surged, and another group of souls rose.
But this time, Gu Changqing finally saw the faces of those souls clearly.
Some of them are creatures of the myriad races.
Some of them are human cultivators.
Moreover, the robes worn by those creatures of the myriad races and human cultivators are only slightly different from the clothes of the War God Academy.
As a mentor of the War God Academy, Gu Changqing recognized them at a glance.
The souls of these creatures and cultivators are from the War God Academy, but they are much older than him.
They should be the cultivators who joined the War God Academy 100,000 years ago when the War God Academy was still in the preparation process!
"How could their souls appear here... Wait, that is..."
In surprise and doubt.
Gu Changqing's pupils suddenly burst into a brilliant light, and when he looked at those souls, there was an indescribable anger in his eyes, which emerged!
Earlier, in the Cemetery of the Saints, Gu Changqing had fought against the extraterritorial demons that invaded the Northern Wilderness Divine Continent.
He even killed the strong one among them, the Lord of Samohe Realm.
Gu Changqing was not unfamiliar with the breath of the extraterritorial demons.
And at this moment, Gu Changqing sensed it clearly.
The souls of these old people from the God of War Academy 100,000 years ago were not complete, and there were incomplete and scarred.
And these incomplete and scarred things could only be left by the special means of the extraterritorial demons.
And there was only one place where these old people from the God of War Academy would be hurt by the extraterritorial demons!
"These souls..."
"They were all collected from the battlefield outside the Shenzhou, the extraterritorial gate!"
Gu Changqing held his breath, and a guess had risen in his mind that made him furious.
But the strong state of mind forced him to calm down and even urged his magical powers.
Under the blessing of the domain, the immortal body, and the Purple Qi Cauldron of All Living Beings, he quietly concealed his figure, hid in the dark, and looked carefully at the formation.
As time went on, more and more spiritual energy gathered in this formation, and more and more souls were annihilated and strangled by this formation.
Seeing more souls.
Gu Changqing also confirmed his prediction!
"Although I don't know who set up this formation, the means are extraordinary and the purpose is extremely vicious!"
Extracting the spiritual energy of the Shenzhou earth veins, evolving this quasi-immortal-level formation.
On this basis, it also included the battlefield of the outer heavenly gate, and forcibly dragged the souls of countless top masters of Shenzhou who died in the battlefield of the outer heavenly gate.
Under the refining of this formation, it became nutrients, and finally...
Gu Changqing looked at the center of the formation.
There, it was shrouded and covered by an extremely rich golden light. Even as strong as Gu Changqing, his consciousness could not penetrate the golden light barrier and see the situation there clearly.
But from the observations during this period, Gu Changqing could guess what was hidden in the golden light!
"Those are the insights of the heroes of Shenzhou who have been refined by this formation over the long years since the formation was established! Fragments of the law!"
The heroes who guarded Shenzhou cannot rest in peace even after death.
They are also plundered here by this formation, strangled, refined, and truly shattered, and their lifelong insights are taken away.
Such a discovery made Gu Changqing's eyes burn with real anger!
At this moment.
Gu Changqing's consciousness suddenly trembled!
"A living being is approaching here?!"
