Chapter 1,666: The Pillar of Divine Fire (for the month of March 2000)
As soon as Zishi passed, there were only six days left until Canglong transcended the tribulation.
At the top of Huoling Peak, in a red attic, an old man wearing a fiery red Taoist uniform, with red beard and hair, a leopard head and eyes, was sitting cross-legged in mid-air.
There is a red sea of fire under his futon. As the old man breathes and breathes, the sea of fire is also churning, which seems to coincide with some kind of avenue.
In the night, the old man closed his eyes tightly and fell into meditation.
I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly there was a dim ray of light piercing the night sky in the distance. It moved from far to near at an extremely fast speed and reached the attic window in just an instant.
The old man in red robe seemed to sense something, frowned slightly, and woke up from trance.
He glanced outside the window, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly raised his hand to bring the glow from the window into the attic.
Xiaguang took it, the spell dissipated, and his original appearance was revealed, which turned out to be a piece of paper!
The old man in red robe unfolded the letter, glanced at it with his consciousness, and his face suddenly turned gloomy.
brush!
He stood up from the futon and paced back and forth in the room, seeming to be worried and hesitant.
This state only lasted for a moment. After a while, the old man in red robe stopped and seemed to have made up his mind. He pinched a spell in his hand and turned into a red ray of light and flew out the window.
After this crimson escaping light left the attic, it did not make a big fanfare. Instead, it suppressed its own aura and quietly left the Fire Spirit Peak without anyone knowing.
For a moment, the night became quiet again.
At the top of Huoling Peak, the buildings were deserted, leaving only a lonely attic.
If there are disciples of Huolingfeng here, they will definitely recognize that this red attic is the cave of Wu Shiming, the Lord of the Fire Department!
.........
Huoling Peak is majestic and majestic, thousands of miles high.
At this moment, at the bottom of Huoling Peak, a golden lion camel was charging towards the raging sea of fire.
On the back of the golden lion camel stood a man in gray clothes, and on the shoulders of the man in gray clothes sat a white civet cat.
"Come on!"
The white civet cat seemed drunk, its face was red, but its interest was high.
She waved her claws, like a general leading the charge, raising her arms on the man's shoulders and shouting.
Lao Jin didn't say much about this shameless behavior. He pushed his wind power to the extreme, so fast that he couldn't see the trajectory, leaving only a series of afterimages in mid-air.
Soon, these three people rushed into the scope of the sea of fire.
In an instant, the eyes of the nine flame dragons turned at the same time, seemingly sensing the invasion of Liang Yan and others.
However, they are not real creatures, but magical powers condensed by magic. They can only judge the existence of the enemy through their breath.
Li Xiaosong stole a trace of the flame power from the sea of fire, spread it evenly, and turned it into a flame shield, covering everyone around them. Therefore, the breath of everyone was almost exactly the same as the breath of the sea of fire.
Although the nine flame dragons were extremely powerful, they were unable to detect the existence of Liang Yan and others.
"Seven Breaths..."
Liang Yan stood on Lao Jin's back, his face solemn.
From the moment Komatsu breathed out flames to now, he has been silently counting the time.
This flame shield can only last for ten breaths, and it will disappear after ten breaths. When the nine fire dragons discover their existence, not to mention whether they can escape, at least it will cause a strange phenomenon and be noticed by the masters of Fire Spirit Peak!
"Boost!"
Liang Yan gave a low drink, and the skills in his body started to move, transferring part of his spiritual power to Lao Jin.
With his help, Lao Jin's speed increased by another 30%, and he rushed towards the center of the sea of fire like a meteor.
"Open it for me!"
Just when he was about to touch the sea of fire, Liang Yan made a seal with one hand, and the sword energy surged!
When these sword energy passed through Li Xiaosong's flame shield, part of the power of the flames attached to the sword energy, and then rushed into the sea of fire, easily tearing a gap in the sea of fire!
Seeing this crack, Liang Yan's face was overjoyed.
"As expected! This sea of fire will not resist its own power!"
Thinking of this, Liang Yan crazily activated his sword energy and used the power of fire stolen by Li Xiaosong to expand the gap.
In the sea of fire, a gap of three feet long appeared soon!
Seeing this, Lao Jin didn't hesitate at all. He pushed himself to escape light again and again. He arrived in front of the crack in only two breaths, and then rushed in...
At this moment, only five breaths had passed since Li Xiaosong breathed out flames.
After Liang Yan and others rushed into the sea of fire, the crack did not disappear immediately, but continued to be repaired. After just two breaths, most of the crack had been repaired, leaving only a crack half an inch long.
At this moment, an emerald green leaf appeared near the crack without any warning!
This leaf looked ordinary, but it could not be melted in the sea of fire, nor did it cause the backlash of the sea of fire.
Seeing that the crack was about to close, the leaf also accelerated its speed. At the moment before the crack was about to disappear, it just managed to get through it...
The sea of fire is not as deep as imagined.
In fact, this sea of fire seems to be just a thin barrier.
Liang Yan and others slipped into the sea of fire through the crack, and only flew for about three breaths before they emerged from the other side of the sea of fire.
What comes into view is a world of flames.
There are burning rocks, boiling red rivers, trees made of flames, and flame flowers floating in the air.
"Wow........"
Li Xiaosong was mesmerized by the sight, his eyes were dazzled and his mouth was watering.
When Liang Yan saw this, he secretly cursed in his heart: "Perhaps in Li Xiaosong's eyes, this is the so-called 'wine pond and meat forest', right?"
However, he did not let Li Xiaosong swallow the flames.
The power of the flames here is too strong and very weird. Li Xiaosong just swallowed a wisp of the power of the flames, and her behavior was very abnormal. If she were allowed to eat freely, she would probably have problems.
"Stay still."
Liang Yan tapped Xiao Song lightly on the back, then jumped off Lao Jin and temporarily put the latter into the Taixu gourd.
He moved cautiously in the world of fire.
Although the strange sights along the way made him a little worried, after careful calculation, he found that he had entered the barrier of Fire Spirit Peak, which could be regarded as achieving his goal.
But, how to get out of this world of flames and reach the top of Fire Spirit Peak?
Liang Yan frowned slightly.
He felt that this world of flames was a bit strange. No matter how he walked, he could not get out of its envelope. There was a strange force in the world that fixed his walking trajectory in the world of flames.
"Strange........"
Liang Yan stopped where he was for a moment, thinking secretly in his heart.
At the end, he sighed softly and said to himself: "Since I can't get out, I will simply do the opposite... I want to see what kind of power is restraining me.
action?"
Thinking of this, Liang Yan turned around and walked towards the source of the power according to the induction in his consciousness.
After half a cup of tea, the strange power became more and more obvious. Liang Yan could even feel that something was calling him...
After walking for a while, the red flames in front gradually dissipated, and a red column appeared!
This column has a radius of thousands of feet, with no end visible at a glance. It looks like a giant pillar that has penetrated from the bottom of Huoling Peak and extends all the way up without knowing where the end is.
"What a strong aura!"
Liang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, quickened his pace, and soon reached the bottom of the red column.
Looking at this column extending infinitely upward, there was a hint of awe in his eyes.
Li Xiaosong was awake a lot at this time. He looked at the scene in front of him, scratched his head again, and said curiously: "Huh? This pillar looks unusual. It seems to be an amazing magic weapon!"
Liang Yan didn't answer. He observed carefully for a moment and suddenly his eyes froze.
"There seems to be writing over there!"
As this thought flashed through his mind, Liang Yan activated his escape light and instantly arrived at the place he just noticed.
At the bottom of the red cylinder, there is a line of small golden characters:
"The Pillar of Divine Fire that reaches the sky! In the first year of the Immortal Fall, at the beginning of the peaceful and prosperous age, the 'Red Emperor Great Sage' gave it to Gan Daozi. The friendship between the Nine Sages will last forever, and the disciples of later generations will not fight with each other. They swear an oath on this pillar, and those who violate it will be killed together."
"Tiantian Divine Fire Pillar? Is this the name of this magic weapon..."
Liang Yan murmured in his mouth, looked up at the red column, and was suddenly shocked.
If he had no experience in "Juntian City", he would definitely not be able to understand the content in this line of fine print, but now, he had a vague guess in his mind.
"Immortal Fall" should refer to the death of Queen Mother of the West, "Red Emperor Great Sage" and "Gan Daozi" should be one of the Nine Sages.
According to the information obtained by Juntian City, when the Nine Saints slaughtered the immortals, although the Queen Mother of the West died, most of the Nine Saints were also killed or injured.
Some people died on the spot, and although some people managed to breathe a sigh of relief, their original power was completely damaged. Not long after the "Battle of Immortals", the remaining saints also fell one after another.
For example, Nangong Xiao knew that his life was not long, so he returned to Juntian City at the last moment of his life and buried his body near the statue of Shennong Tuo.
In addition, according to the content of this line of small golden characters, since the "Tongtian Divine Fire Pillar" appears on the Huoling Peak of Wuzhuang Mountain, it means that "Gan Daozi", one of the Nine Saints at that time, was probably the founder of the Wuzhuang Mountain sect.
It's just that "Gan Daozi", like Nangong Xiao, passed away due to serious injuries not long after establishing his orthodoxy.
Since then, Wuzhuang Mountain has been passed down for countless thousands of years. Now, there is no saint or strong person sitting in charge. Only the Canglong needs to overcome the tribulation and become a saint can we turn the tide and let the incense of Wuzhuang Mountain continue smoothly.
Although there was only a short line of small characters, Liang Yan had already roughly guessed the origin of Wuzhuang Mountain.
However, he still hasn't found a way to leave here.
"I can't leave this world of flames because of the strange power of this 'Tongtian Divine Fire Pillar'... What's the mystery behind it? And why is it inserted into the heart of the Fire Spirit Peak?"
Liang Yan frowned and looked confused.
After pondering for a moment, he suddenly stretched out his right hand and tentatively placed it on the surface of the "Tongtian Divine Fire Pillar".
A strange power came from the surface of the magic weapon and poured into the palm of his hand.
"Huh?"
Liang Yan let out a light sigh, and the spiritual power in his body circulated, guiding this power into Li Xiaosong's body.
Li Xiaosong was caught off guard, she screamed strangely, opened her mouth, and the power of flames erupted from her mouth, covering the small golden letters inside.
It seemed that some mechanism had been triggered, and the small line of golden characters glowed brightly, and then a loud "rumbling!" was heard.
A huge arch appeared below the Tongtian Divine Fire Pillar!
There are two golden pull tabs on the arch. The pull tabs are engraved with complex flame patterns, as well as mysterious runes.
Although Liang Yan couldn't understand these runes, he could vaguely feel the power of flames contained in them, as if facing a giant flame beast from the wild, dangerous and mysterious.
"How come there is a door under the Pillar of Fire? What is the place behind this door?"
Many questions appeared in Liang Yan's mind. These questions could not be answered at all, and he was a little confused for a moment.
His original plan was to break the barrier from the bottom of Huoling Peak, then hide his traces, sneak into the top of Huoling Peak, and find the second seal of Tianji Pavilion.
But now by mistake, it seems that the secret of Huolingfeng has been discovered?
No matter what, Liang Yan was still a little curious about the world behind the door.
He pondered for a moment, then suddenly activated the "Eight Parts of Evolution", clapped his hands in the air, and the Vajra divine power surged out, turning into two huge palm prints in mid-air.
The two palm prints landed on the flame arch, as if a giant was pushing the door with all its strength.
As Liang Yan exerted more force, the palm print sunk deeper and deeper, but the arch remained motionless, as if it could never be pushed open.
After a while, Liang Yan stopped the exercise and sighed softly.
"No, the seal on this door is too strong. With my current level of cultivation, I can't break it with brute force..."
"I feel like there is a strange flame mark on this door..." Li Xiaosong suddenly said at this time.
Liang Yan's eyes lit up and he asked, "Is there any way you can use the power of fire to open this giant door?"
"You can give it a try."
Li Xiaosong said, flew to the giant door, puffed up his cheeks, and sprayed five-color flames from his mouth.
The five-color flame fell on the giant door and was quickly absorbed by the two golden pull rings on the left and right. The surface of the pull rings lit up with a faint glow, as if it was sensing something.
Liang Yan felt happy when he saw this and waited patiently.
However, Grihuan's vision was nothing more than that. Except for the faint glow, there was no change. No matter how hard Li Xiaosong tried, the giant door showed no signs of loosening.
Just when Liang Yan frowned, a crisp female voice suddenly sounded from behind him: "It's useless, this is the 'Tianshu Divine Fire Gate'. It cannot be opened with the power of ordinary flames. It must be cooperated with the secret treasure of Huolingfeng."
That’s all.”
The sudden sound made Liang Yan's expression change!
"Oops! I was so focused on studying the 'Tongtian Divine Fire Pillar' in front of me that I didn't realize there was anyone else nearby!"
Liang Yan's mind was spinning and he turned around suddenly.
I saw a woman in black robe appearing out of thin air in the distance. She was tall and covered with gauze, which seemed to be able to block the consciousness and prevent her from seeing her appearance clearly.
