Lu Zhong was suspended high in the sky, and a transmission channel slowly closed behind him.
Looking ahead at this moment, you can see a huge mountain peak towering into the clouds.
Different from ordinary mountain peaks, this mountain does not look like a natural formation. The whole mountain seems to be made of many piles of stones. Perhaps this is where the name "Ji Shi" comes from.
The mountain is steep, and everywhere you look is pitch black. The top half of the mountain is shrouded in thunderclouds, making it impossible to see the upper part clearly.
Lu Zhong relied on the Golden Immortal's eyesight to force his eyes through the thunder clouds, and found that there was a faint treasure light beating in the sea of thunder and thunder, but it was too far away to see clearly, and it was difficult to distinguish the identity of the treasure.
"Fairy Fengyun, you probably didn't lie."
He thought to himself.
No matter what, I have to take a chance on this Jishi Mountain. After all, given the value of the Taoist Stone, even taking a small risk is quite worthwhile. If you miss it, you will inevitably regret it.
At this thought, Lu Zhong jumped forward and flew forward.
Halfway through, he suddenly stopped and looked not far ahead with a strange look on his face.
Just a thousand feet away, there was a transparent wall.
"This is... an invisible formation?"
This formation is extremely secretive, far from being comparable to ordinary formations. If his consciousness were not strong enough and he was close enough, it would be difficult to detect its traces.
If it were another unlucky guy, I'm afraid he would have crashed directly into it.
It is inevitable to have a rough encounter.
Switching to the perspective of the soul, Lu Zhong found that the visibility of the large formation in front of him had increased a lot, and it was already in a translucent state, so he began to observe it.
The results are not optimistic.
This formation is like a cover, covering the Jishi Mountain in the sky and on the ground, leaving no gaps for people to get through. What's worse is that the strength of this formation is unheard of, and it cannot be destroyed with the magic power of the Golden Immortal Stage.
"How to enter?" Lu Zhong became distressed.
"That's all, let's turn it around first."
After thinking about it, he decided to observe it for a while longer. Based on the people on the treasure lantern, he would not let people in, but deliberately prevented people from getting the treasure.
There must be a way or passage to enter the large formation in front of you.
So Lu Zhong released the avatars, spread them out in a round ball at the center of Jishi Mountain, and sent them out one by one, allowing them to surround the formation and search for possible information.
This deity is holding a surveillance map and observing the movements of the monks in the world.
He found that as time went by, the frequency of magic battles among monks in the Xuanhuang Eight Treasures Realm was continuously increasing. And as more monks entered, the number of magic battles would probably increase until it reached the limit.
"Huh? So fast?"
Lu Zhong had a look of surprise on his face at this time.
An avatar discovered that at the zenith node of Jishi Mountain, there was a square with a radius of several hundred miles. There were many areas divided there, and there might be a passage into Jishi Mountain.
Immediately, his figure flashed.
"Boom!"
In the void, a figure walked out of the door.
It was Lu Zhong who was teleported here.
At this moment, he was on the edge of the square where the incarnation was discovered. Looking forward from here, he could see a huge archway standing tall. Its entire body was made of jasper. There were not many tricks on the surface, only some simple geometry.
The stripes as a whole reveal a simple and ancient meaning.
Above the archway, there is a wooden plaque hanging, dark red and black in color, with the three characters "Tao Daotai" written in gold seal script.
"Question platform?"
Lu Zhong repeated these three words and couldn't help but wonder if they were related to the Taoist Stone.
He actually didn't know much about the Taoist Stone.
All I know is that it is a valuable treasure that will be of great help to Taoist soldiers.
As for its origin, I don't know at all.
Just as he was thinking about it, a humanoid shadow appeared.
She looked like a gorgeous lady. She saluted Lu Zhong and said, "Welcome, the 20231127th inquirer! I am the mysterious spirit here, named Yonghua.
We strive to serve those who ask.”
"Oh? Questioner, how do you interpret this statement?"
Lu Zhong knew that the shadow in front of him claiming to be Yong Hua would definitely give him the answer.
After all, that's how logic should be.
As expected, Yong Hua didn't hesitate at all and immediately replied: "Askers are people who are willing to participate in the inquiry trial in order to seek the hearing of heaven. All those who pass will have the opportunity to face the world master directly."
"Shang Da Tian Ting? Face to face with the Realm Lord? I'm not interested in this." Lu Zhong shook his head and then continued: "Can I use this to enter Jishi Mountain?"
"Of course you can. Those who pass the customs can also choose to enter Jishi Mountain."
When Xuanling Yonghua said this, a screen of light popped up in front of him and asked: "Asker, do you want to start the questioning trial? Or, allow me to introduce the rules to you first."
"I'm in a hurry, let's talk as we get started."
"as you wish."
Xuan Ling bowed, saluted and then disappeared.
Immediately, Lu Zhong's vision blurred for a while, and he instantly appeared on a square platform. At this time, Xuanling Yonghua appeared again, and she directly said:
"If you want to ask questions about heaven, you must first defeat yourself."
"So the first level of the trial is to defeat the mirror image."
"Mirror image? How interesting."
Lu Zhong suddenly became interested, wondering how much of the mirror image in the other party's mouth could replicate his own strength. If nothing unexpected happened, the treasures on his body would definitely not be replicable.
"Do you want to start the first level?"
"Let me start by asking, how many trials are there in total?"
"Nine is the ultimate number, and there are nine trials in total."
After Xuan Ling finished speaking, he raised his hand to form a screen of light, and immediately a figure walked out of the screen, with black hair and black clothes, and the same expressionless face, and this was the mirror image of Lu Zhong.
"In a sense, this is another me."
Lu Zhong looked at it carefully and found that it looked very much like himself.
Just as he was thinking about it, a sword light struck him.
Time and Space Fairy Sword!
As soon as he got close, he was knocked away by a sword light.
However, the mirror image's method did not end there. He stomped his feet heavily, and a flash of silver-gray light flashed under his feet. His hands were suddenly pulled apart, and there was a loud sizzling sound, and purple thunder and lightning appeared.
The toughness is mixed together, and a three-color fairy sword is formed.
Seeing this, Lu Zhong thought to himself that he had never done this before. After all, it was not only difficult, but the benefits were weak. But the mirror image in front of him not only did it easily, but also seemed extremely relaxed.
He couldn't help but rate the mirror image in front of him a few points higher.
Immediately afterwards, the three-color fairy sword struck.
After being activated by the mirror image, it immediately transformed into countless sword shadows. Affected by the Law of Thunder, the sword shadows looked illusory, but were actually quite lethal. If it was really covered, the target would have to shed its skin even if it was not dead.
Lu Zhong had no idea of asking for advice, so he immediately fluttered his sleeves.
Without any hesitation, he summoned the Taoist soldier Luofu.
In an instant, the sky changed color.
Luofu's sword trembled, and a fierce aura suddenly burst out. Countless sword shadows appeared in the sudden surge of light, and they shot towards the three-color fairy sword that was coming.
