Chapter 545: Great Sects in the Immortal Realm
Then there was a buzzing sound from the light array, and waves of space fluctuations emerged. The next moment, Ye Changsheng only felt that the scenery around him was slightly blurred, and the whole person disappeared in an instant.
He was teleported to an unfamiliar platform. The entire platform was built with huge bluestones. There were some patterns on the surface, but they were not exquisite. It gave people a rough and primitive feeling.
Under his feet was a teleportation array with a diameter of no more than two meters, and not far away there was a sloping staircase leading directly to the bottom of the stage.
Ye Changsheng only glanced at the teleportation array and the stone platform, then immediately raised his head and looked around carefully.
At this moment, he seemed to be in another space. Not only was the sun high in the sky, the sky was cloudless and extremely blue, but the ground around him was covered with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants. From time to time, a breeze blew, bringing bursts of fragrance from flowers and plants.
However, none of this is as eye-catching as a small hill hundreds of feet high near the platform!
Although the mountain is not high, it is over ten miles wide and has a very strange terrain. The entire mountain is vertical and steep from top to bottom, as if it were cut by a knife. The mountain is pale white, and the top of the mountain is dazzling with silver light. There is a huge purple palace that almost occupies the entire top of the mountain.
There was a flash of light beside them, and Shi Kun and Liu Shui'er appeared one after another. Their eyes were almost instantly attracted to the purple palace.
That's where their target is!
Shi Kun's body was filled with excitement and a light flashed. He soared into the air and was about to fly towards the palace.
However, just as his feet were a few feet off the ground, his body suddenly shook and fell back to the ground. His feet made a dull thud when they stepped on the ground, causing the entire stone platform to shake a few times. His body seemed to become extremely heavy all of a sudden.
Liu Shui'er was surprised and tried it as well. She immediately found that after flying into the air, she would be subjected to a huge force.
The higher you go, the stronger the pressure from this huge force becomes.
After trying a few times, she finally found the clue and said in surprise, "The restriction here is so overbearing. The power of the restriction will double for every foot above the ground!"
"After all, it is a restriction left by an immortal. It is naturally far beyond our imagination. I guess you two can only be seven or eight feet off the ground at most, right?" Ye Changsheng asked with a twinkle in his eyes after looking around.
Shi Kun tried it quickly, then nodded respectfully, while Liu Shuier smiled bitterly:
"My physical body is far inferior to Brother Shi's, so I can't be seven or eight feet off the ground as you said. It's good enough if I can be three or four feet off the ground!"
"The immortal's restriction is indeed unusual. Even I am afraid I can't fly to a height of more than ten feet. It seems that if we want to reach that palace, we can only climb the mountain step by step!" Ye Changsheng said softly after taking a look at the purple palace.
He then strode forward. Shi Kun and Liu Shui'er looked at each other and hurriedly followed.
Facing them, there was a nearly straight mountain path that led directly to the top of the mountain. This mountain path was made up of white stone steps that were about ten feet wide. From a distance, it looked like a white python lying on the top of the mountain, which was quite shocking.
The three of them stepped onto the stairs one after another and walked forward quickly, but when they stepped on the steps, they immediately discovered something strange.
Suddenly, a suction force appeared on the stone steps, making the legs of each of them feel heavier than ten thousand pounds, as if they were bearing a huge pressure.
After climbing up a few more steps, they immediately discovered that the suction force generated by each stone step was slightly greater than the previous one.
Although this increase is very small among a few stone steps and can be said to be insignificant, the thought of tens of thousands of stone steps from the foot of the mountain to the top is enough to make people shudder.
Fortunately, as long as you stand still, the huge suction force generated from the steps will be weakened little by little, and it may even dissipate completely over time.
Ye Changsheng knew that the strangeness of the stairs must be a test. The ruins of Guanghan Realm might be related to the Wusheng Sword Sect, a sect that had already been destroyed in the Immortal Realm.
The two necessary conditions for practicing the swordsmanship of the Wusheng Sword Sect are that both the physical body and the spiritual consciousness must be top-notch at the same level.
The steps here are just a means to test the strength of the body.
But he didn't care. His physical body was stronger than most Mahayana practitioners who didn't cultivate their physical bodies. There were only a few people in this world who were stronger than him in terms of physical body.
Even though these stone steps were strange, the obstacles they posed to him were very limited.
Although Ye Changsheng did not deliberately speed up, he still reached the top of the ten thousand steps in just a few breaths.
At this moment, Shi Kun had only climbed a dozen steps, and Liu Shuier had only climbed seven or eight steps.
The two of them stared at Ye Changsheng on the top of the mountain in amazement!
Ye Changsheng looked back and thought to himself, "With Shi Kun's physical strength, it shouldn't be a problem for him to reach the top in the end, but it's hard to say how long it will take!"
"As for Liu Shui'er, if she doesn't have other means to help her, I'm afraid she won't be able to reach the top of this place!"
With a slight smile, Ye Changsheng no longer paid attention to the two of them and looked towards the purple palace in front of him.
Several dozen feet away from him, there stood a palace door that was over twenty feet high.
The door was tightly closed, with dozens of crystals of different colors inlaid on its surface, and densely packed and complex patterns engraved on the edges, arranged in an orderly manner.
After a quick look, Ye Changsheng discovered that those dozens of fist-sized crystal stones were actually extremely rare and top-grade spirit stones, and they were obviously purer than the top-grade spirit stones in the spiritual world.
"Top-grade spirit stones from the fairyland?" He muttered to himself and recognized the identity of these top-grade spirit stones.
The spirit stones in the fairy world are still purer than those in the spirit world, but the difference is not too big. Even in the fairy world, the top-grade spirit stones are the main trading currency and are extremely precious.
However, the Immortal Yuan Stone, which is a higher level than the top-grade spirit stone and contains immortal power, is a legendary thing.
Even in the fairy world, most of the true immortals do not have many fairy stones in their hands. If they have one, they will treasure it and never give it away easily.
After Ye Changsheng's gaze lingered on these top-grade spirit stones for a moment, it moved downwards and landed on the purple palace wall next to the palace gate.
These walls, built with unknown materials, are only about five or six feet high, but the walls emit a strange purple light, and their surfaces are printed with light silver runes of varying sizes.
That silver rune was exactly the silver tadpole script.
It seems that there is some powerful restriction on this gate.
Ye Changsheng chuckled and walked forward. After a few breaths, Shi Kun and Liu Shuier, who were still struggling to climb the mountain below, heard several loud roars and explosions.
The two knew that this must be Ye Changsheng breaking the ban on this place, but unfortunately they could not see the situation on the top of the mountain at all, so they didn't know what was happening.
This couldn't help but make the two of them feel a little anxious. They tried harder to resist the increasingly powerful suction and slowly move upwards.
At the gate of the palace, the door inlaid with the finest spiritual stones from the fairyland had disappeared at some point. Ye Changsheng stood at the door and stepped lightly into it.
A square paved with green tiles appeared before my eyes, surrounded by fences made of crystal clear white jade. At the other end of the square was a tall main hall in purple and gold color.
From a distance, there are three side halls near this hall, which are only one-third the size of the main hall, forming a "品" shape and surrounding the main hall.
In addition to these, there is another small area of low-rise pavilions faintly visible behind the main hall, which seems to occupy a very large area.
As soon as Ye Changsheng stepped into the square, his spiritual consciousness surged in his body, and the Demon-Suppressing Seal was directly activated. Two beams of crystal light flew out of his eyes and shot into the distance, as if they had shattered something, making a crisp shattering sound.
"Illusion array? Haha, I don't even need to take the initiative!" Ye Changsheng chuckled and said to himself.
Now that his spiritual awareness has become more powerful, the three seals he mastered from practicing the Supreme Divine Seal in the past have also become more powerful.
Especially the Demon-Suppressing Seal, which has the ability to resist inner demons, illusions and all other things that are unfavorable to practitioners, and it has become of great help to Ye Changsheng.
After reaching the fusion and Mahayana realms, the influence of the inner demon on the cultivator becomes increasingly greater. After all, the inner demon at this time is no longer a simple inner demon, but something brought in by the devil from outer space.
The true form of this alien demon is almost as powerful as a true spirit. One can imagine how terrifying the power will be when he attacks those combined and Mahayana monks, even if it is just an incarnation.
This kind of attack is invisible and intangible and directly affects the soul. Ordinary means cannot defend against it at all.
Therefore, even if some people have extremely powerful combat abilities, they are still helpless in front of their inner demons.
Since ancient times, there have been many top-level cultivators in the spiritual world who have fallen under the spell of their inner demons. This is why, after reaching this level, cultivators attach more and more importance to their oaths to their inner demons.
They dare not swear an oath to destroy their inner demons easily, otherwise, if they violate it, they might attract the true form of the demon from outer space.
Once such a being appears, even a Mahayana cultivator will most likely perish.
But to Ye Changsheng, the inner demon could not pose much threat to him. All this was naturally caused by the Supreme Divine Sealing Technique that he practiced.
At the moment, although the illusion formation here was extremely exquisite, it could not cause him much trouble due to the automatic counterattack of Ye Changsheng's Demon Seal.
After easily breaking the illusion array in the square, Ye Changsheng's gaze turned to the palaces in front.
The most eye-catching is the purple-gold hall located in the center. This hall is the main hall. Ye Changsheng knows that the greatest treasure in this secret realm is in this main hall.
At the same time, the Tai Miao Xu Ling Dan that Duan Tian Ren and Cai Liu Ping had worked so hard to plan was also included in it.
Although these two people had never entered this secret realm, they had already obtained some information about this secret realm from other places in Guanghan Realm when they entered it before.
Therefore, they roughly knew what was inside, but the most important thing was:
That is, they were unaware of the existence of the great formation that the Skeleton Immortal had prepared for them to receive the initiation and restore their cultivation.
Ye Changsheng was not in a hurry to enter the main hall. The restrictions guarding the main hall were quite powerful. If he did not take action, Liu Shuier and Shi Kun alone might not be able to break it.
In this case, why not go to the side halls first to take a look. There is also great fortune here.
Ye Changsheng then walked towards the side hall. After a few steps, he appeared in front of one of the three side halls.
This side hall appears to be only one-third the size of the main hall, but its style and materials are exactly the same as the main hall. Even the door of the side hall seems to be slightly smaller.
And on it, just like the main hall, there is a plaque written in golden seal script.
The fact that golden seal characters can be used shows how high the level of this palace is. It can be said that only a true immortal can display such a grand display.
Ye Changsheng's style has always been to never let go of good things when he sees them. Although he won't go to such lengths to dig up everything, the more valuable things will definitely disappear wherever he passes.
Although he had no use for most of these things, he was never alone. With a large family to feed, he naturally had to be thrifty .
The gate and the plaque of the side hall in front of him were obviously not made of ordinary materials, otherwise they would not be able to bear the golden seal characters written on them. So after a series of "clang clang" sounds, the two gates and the plaques on them were taken down and taken away by him.
Surprisingly, there was no restriction on the gate of this side hall, which was also a strange thing.
Ye Changsheng walked into the side hall and saw a huge altar as white as jade placed in front of the main hall. On the table stood a shrine with purple light. There was a flickering light inside and a vague statue of a god was faintly visible.
Hundreds of cream-colored cushions are arranged in the direction of the statue, and there is a green incense burner in each corner of the hall.
A faint scent of sandalwood filled the entire hall, which turned out to be a temple-like hall.
This place is not small, and there is a small door on each side, which seems to lead to other places.
Ye Changsheng's eyes quickly scanned the hall, finally falling on the two rows of wooden shelves on both sides.
The wooden frame was as white as snow, emitting a faint chill; it was actually the famous "snow wood" in the spiritual world.
This wood is an excellent material for refining ice-attribute treasures, but here it is just used as an ordinary wooden rack to place things. This is a bit too extravagant. It can only be said that it is worthy of the immortals' style!
There were more than a dozen objects of various colors placed on the shelves. From a distance, there were ruyi, round bowls, small bells and other things.
A smile appeared on Ye Changsheng's face. He waved his sleeves and immediately collected all the utensils and the wooden frames. Nothing was left, and the place immediately became empty.
