"You don't need to ask about my identity. I told you just now. You will know it by then." Hongsha City Lord said: "I have said everything that should be said and should not be said. You can think about it yourself.
Then come to Hongsha City to find me."
"Okay." Li Xiu hung up the phone, still thinking about what the Lord of Hongsha City said.
He is not the vice president, nor the elder nor the president. Apart from these people, it seems that only the president is left in Changshengtian. This makes Li Xiu very doubtful whether the Lord of Hongsha City is the president of Changshengtian.
Li Qingyin also said that there was something wrong with the invitation card given to him by the Lord of Hongsha City before. There was no mark that it belonged to any commander.
Based on Li Xiu's understanding of Changshengtian, Changshengtian is divided into five levels: ordinary members, super members, presidents, vice presidents and presidents. The status of elders is quite special and cannot be ranked in a single position.
Being able to introduce Li Xiu to join the association means that the Lord of Hongsha City is not an ordinary member or a super member, but he has also denied the status of president, vice president and elder, leaving only the president.
In fact, except for the president, the vice president and elders do not have the power to recruit people into the association, which is why Li Xiu suspected that the Lord of Hongsha City was the president of the Changshengtian Guild.
"If the Lord of Hongsha City is really the president of Changshengtian, and I was invited by the president to join Changshengtian, my status cannot be lowered." Li Xiu thought to himself.
After bringing the bandit over, Li Xiu told him in detail about his plan to enter the Immortal Heaven.
"I'll go with you." Bandit said.
"Don't worry, I'll go to Changshengtian first to figure out the situation inside, and then it won't be too late for you to go there. There must be someone to support the City of Light. We can't all leave now." Li Xiu said and put a
The card was handed to the bandit: "You can keep the money in this, so that if there is any difficulty in the City of Light, it can be used as an emergency."
After the bandit took the card, Li Xiu thought for a while and said: "In the final analysis, it's just an external possession. Don't take it too seriously. Just save your life first. Everything else is easy to talk about."
"I know." The bandit looked at Li Xiu and said, "You seem to be arranging things after your death, which is unlucky."
"What you said is the most unlucky thing." Li Xiu said depressedly.
After the bandit left, Li Xiu went to Ximen Guan's laboratory. When the old official saw Li Xiu, he immediately cursed him with a muffled look on his face.
Li Xiu had previously asked Chu Jun to send Lightspeed 2 over for repairs. After the inspection, Officer Ximen was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
For others, a magic suit can last a lifetime, but for Li Xiu, a magic suit can only be used once or twice in a lifetime.
After scolding for a while, when he saw Li Xiu standing there without saying a word, Ximen Guan couldn't help but stop and asked in confusion: "Boy, what happened?"
"I have decided to go to Changshengtian." Li Xiu said.
Official Ximen was surprised when he heard this, then frowned and thought for a moment before saying: "Some parts of Lightspeed 2 are seriously damaged and it is difficult to repair. However, some parts are still usable and the core is fine. Wait for me for a while and I will fix it."
I will dismantle the usable parts and build a new set of magic equipment for you."
"Continue making the magic costume and use it when I come back." Li Xiu had no intention of taking the magic costume to Changsheng Heaven.
"It's true. If something happens in Changshengtian, no matter how strong the magic equipment is, it won't be able to get out." Ximen Guan said with a smile: "When we get to Changshengtian, help me go to the magic equipment team and see what those bastards are doing.
Something happened."
"After I go to Changsheng Heaven, you can help me take care of the Ye family brothers and sisters." Li Xiu said thoughtfully.
Li Xiu is not too worried about the others. They all have their own way of survival. If the City of Light is gone, they have other ways to go.
However, the Ye family brothers and sisters do not have so many escape routes. If the City of Light really disappears, their lives may not be easy.
They are not strong enough to establish their own business, but they have something that makes people excited, and they can easily be plotted by others.
"Don't worry, I will keep an eye on them. That girl Ye Xiyuan is very talented. When you are not here, I can only ask her to help me test the magic equipment. How could I let anything happen to her?" Ximen Guan said with a smile.
After leaving the laboratory, Li Xiu went to see Qin Shi again and told her that she was leaving the City of Light for a while and that her problems should have been completely solved. If she wanted to return to Taylor City, she could drop her off along the way.
go back.
"Are you so anxious to drive me away?" Qin Shi said angrily.
"What? You can't bear to leave me?" Li Xiu said with a smile.
Qin Shi's cheeks were slightly red: "What are you talking about? I just think there are more money-making opportunities here in the City of Light than in Taylor City, and I want to stay here and earn more."
"After your contract with Taylor City ends, you are welcome to come over at any time. The situation in Kunsha is already very bad, please help him." Li Xiu said.
"Of course I will abide by the contract, why do you need to teach me?" Qin Shi rolled her eyes at Li Xiu and said.
"Wait until I come back. When I get back, I will take you to the trial field to improve your physical fitness. Even if you are a magic costume master, there is no harm in becoming a trialist." Li Xiu said with a smile.
"Then it's settled, you have to take me into the trial field in person when the time comes." Qin Shi said with a wink.
"Of course I have to take you into the trial field in person. If something happens to an excellent magician like you, I will cry to death," Li Xiu said.
"Is it that exaggerated?" Qin Shi laughed.
…
After explaining the matter about the City of Light, Li Xiu set off for Red Sand City.
Now that he has two super spirits and demon spirits in his hands, he can be considered to have a certain ability to protect himself. However, in a place like Changshengtian, super spirits may not really be relied upon. Fortunately, Li Xiu has other plans. If so,
If you encounter a threshold that you can't pass, you can only find another way.
After Li Xiu arrived at Hongsha City, the Lord of Hongsha City did not invite him to dinner this time, but only had a secret conversation with him in the conference room.
"Changshengtian has a fixed time to recruit new members every year, and an induction ceremony will be held at that time. This year's induction ceremony is early, but with my recommendation, you don't need to go through the process and join the membership first, but there is one thing
Things are inevitable." The Lord of Hongsha City told the story about the Blood Seal Stone: "After you arrive at the headquarters, someone will ask you to drip blood on the Blood Seal Stone every day. This is irresistible, otherwise you will not be able to leave Changsheng Heaven alive."
"I've heard about the Blood Seal Stone. I know about it." Li Xiu looked at the Lord of Hongsha City and asked, "Where is the headquarters of Changshengtian?"
"You can't say it." The Lord of Hongsha City smiled and shook his head: "You don't need to know what kind of place it is. In short, after joining the association, you should first find a backer to avoid suffering."
"Who do you think I should look for as a backer?" Li Xiu asked.
"It's not that you should look for someone to be your backer, but to see who wants to pull you over. Do you think the chiefs and elders of Changshengtian are just cabbage on the street, and you can pick whoever you want?" Hongsha City Master
He smiled and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter who you look for as your backer. Although there are many factions in Changshengtian, it is still balanced at present. They restrict each other. As long as you can join one of the factions, it will not be so easy for Wan Chaoxin to cause trouble for you again.
Already."
"Which faction does Wan Chaoxin belong to?" Li Xiu thought for a moment and asked.
"The Wanchao family has been the head of Changshengtian for generations, and there have been many elders..." The Lord of Hongsha City briefly introduced some things about the Wanchao family.
"Okay, I've said all that needs to be said, now go in." The Lord of Hongsha City took Li Xiu into his secret room and pointed to a metal coffin on the ground.
"Do I have to use this?" Li Xiu frowned.
"No one will dare to take you to the Immortal Heaven without this." Hongsha City Lord chuckled.
Li Xiu didn't say anything else, pushed open the coffin board and lay down in it.
Not to mention, the coffin is filled with soft mattresses and pillows, making it quite comfortable to sleep on.
"Boy, I wish you good luck." The Lord of Hongsha City said and covered the coffin board.
It was suddenly dark inside the coffin. Fortunately, Li Xiu had the Dark Mirror, so he didn't have to worry about not being able to see anything.
But it's useless to see. The coffin is only so big and there's nothing interesting to see.
Li Xiu listened carefully, but he couldn't hear anything. The sound insulation effect of the coffin was excellent, and he couldn't hear any movement.
After a while, Li Xiu felt the coffin shake, as if it was being lifted, and then began to bump continuously.
Shachu had told Li Xiu before that every time she went to Changshengtian's headquarters, she was carried in a coffin.
But Li Xiu felt something was wrong. Although the coffin kept bumping, it felt like someone was carrying the coffin.
But judging from Li Xiu's feeling, this was not the shaking sensation of a person carrying a coffin.
Moreover, it is impossible for someone to carry such a heavy coffin into the Changsheng Heaven. Transportation tools should be used.
"Is it a car or a plane?" Li Xiu felt the bumps of the coffin and judged silently in his heart.
It shouldn't be a plane. The plane shouldn't be so bumpy.
It's probably not a train, and it's even less likely that a train would be so bumpy. After thinking about it, it could only be a vehicle such as a car. Only cars would be so bumpy when walking on roads that are not very easy to walk.
"Is the headquarters of Changshengtian located near Hongsha City? Otherwise, why would it be transported by car?" Li Xiu felt something was wrong.
If Changshengtian's headquarters was really in the Southern Cross Alliance, then it would not be as chaotic as it is now, and all resources would have been controlled by Changshengtian long ago.
"Peng!" Li Xiu felt the coffin shake violently, and then it stopped still.
"Have you arrived so soon?" Li Xiu was a little surprised. With his ability to perceive time, it had only been more than an hour and less than two hours. Even if he was transported by car, he couldn't go very far.
"Is the headquarters of Changshengtian really nearby?" Li Xiu wondered.
While Li Xiu was thinking, the coffin board was suddenly opened, and strong light came in, making Li Xiu subconsciously squint his eyes.
A human face blocked the sunlight and appeared in Li Xiu's sight.
It's not so much a human face as it is a mask. It's a bronze mask, just like the face of a terracotta warrior.
"Put this on." The masked man took a mask and handed it to Li Xiu inside the coffin.
Li Xiu took the mask and looked at it, and found that it was also a bronze mask, but the face shape of the mask was slightly different from that of the person wearing the mask.
"Do I have to wear it?" Li Xiu asked while putting the mask on his face.
"Unless you want everyone to know your true identity, then you don't need to wear it." The masked man said coldly: "Come out and follow me."
With that said, the masked man turned around and left.
Li Xiu quickly came out of the coffin and began to look around. The sight he saw made Li Xiu stunned for a moment.
He found that the coffins were actually on the beach by the sea. There were metal coffins not far away on the white beach. Those metal coffins were placed in various directions, and they were everywhere on the beach that he could see.
Li Xiu was surprised to find that this place seemed to be an island. At least the place he could see was surrounded by the ocean.
Although there are places close to the sea in Hongsha City, there is no sea near the main city of Hongsha. Even if you drive to the seaside, it will not take more than an hour to get there.
Not to mention that this place looked like an island. He didn't feel that he had ever been on a boat. How could he end up on an island?
Seeing that the masked man didn't care about him at all and just kept walking forward, and was almost far away, Li Xiu quickly chased after him.
The beach is full of dense woods, and there are many plants that Li Xiu has never seen before. Li Xiu has no way to judge whether this place belongs to a certain area through the plants.
The masked man led Li Xiu along a stone road into the forest. Not long after walking, after the two passed through the woods, Li Xiu saw a shocking scene.
Most people have played with spinning tops, and even if they haven't, they have definitely seen them, but who has ever seen a spinning top as big as an island?
Li Xiu saw a huge top. To be precise, it was a mountain standing on the ground like a top.
It's just that this mountain is too weird. The point where it connects to the ground is extremely thin, like the tip of a top. It gets bigger as it goes up, and the top is like a huge island.
On the top-like mountain, there is a huge city. All the buildings in the city are white, as if they were carved from white marble.
This is like a white city built in the sky. Viewed from a close distance now, it gives people an extremely strong visual conflict.
This reminded Li Xiu of an ancient poem: The white jade capital in the sky, the twelve cities on the fifth floor. The immortal caressed my head and tied my hair to receive immortality.
Such a beautiful and weird Gyro City, let alone seeing it before, never imagined that such a city could exist in the world, even in my dreams.
"Aren't the people who built the city afraid that the place below that is only connected to the earth will be broken off? No matter how you look at it, this Gyro Mountain looks like it will break down at any time..." Li Xiu thought to himself.
The masked man didn't say a word, and just continued walking forward with Li Xiu.
When Li Xiu got closer and discovered that there was a huge basin underneath the entire Top Mountain, Li Xiu was even more shocked.
Because within that huge basin, there are huge ancient gates everywhere, standing like tombstones in a cemetery.
There were many humans wearing bronze masks, flying on demon spirits and landing in front of the gate, or returning to the city on flying swords.
That scene is enough to shock people like Li Xiu who have seen the world. Trialists and demon spirits that are rarely seen outside can be seen everywhere here. It seems that no one can do anything without a demon spirit as a mount.
As if he was embarrassed to go out.
Li Xiu finally understood why Changshengtian didn't occupy all the trial gates around the world.
There are probably thousands of trial gates here. There are so many trial gates around you. You can enter whichever one you want. Why waste time running around? There is no need at all.
All we need to do is control the gem mines around the world and continuously bring in gems to open the door.
Those trial gates scattered around the world are simply not worth their time and energy.
"What on earth is this place? Is it really near the Southern Cross Federation?" Li Xiu thought to himself.
"Is there a demon mount or bond that can fly?" the masked man asked Li Xiu.
"No." Li Xiu shook his head.
"Then climb up by yourself." The masked man pointed in the direction of the city and said, "That's the gateway to the Eternal Life City. When you get there, someone will naturally register you and arrange your food and daily life."
After the masked man said that, the ring on his finger turned into a demonic spirit like a pterosaur, and flew him to the portal of Eternal Life City, completely ignoring Li Xiu.
"Are all the people in Changshengtian so indifferent?" Li Xiu didn't care. After looking at it for a while, he walked along the downward stone steps into the basin filled with trial gates.
This stone staircase leads all the way to the portal of Eternal Life City, but Li Xiu can't quite understand how he can climb up the mountain, which is as sharp as a top and wide at the top. He can't stick to it like a gecko.
on the ceiling.
From time to time, someone would fly across the sky on a demon spirit. After Li Xiu walked down the steps to the flat ground, he directly summoned the pink dream demon to take his place.
In a place like this, demons are completely normal, unlike outside where they have to be secretive.
Li Xiu rode the Pink Dream Demon along the stone road, and soon he discovered a problem.
There are actually a lot of people living in this basin. On both sides of the stone road, you can see shack-like houses everywhere. Some people in ragged clothes are standing on the roadside or watching from inside the house.
Looking at him, his eyes were very strange.
"What's going on with these people? How come there are so many people who look like beggars or scavengers in Changshengtian?" Li Xiu saw that in those shack-like areas, there were not only adult men and women, but also many men.
and children, with growing doubts in their hearts.
This is completely different from the Changshengtian he imagined, which is a gathering place for the world's elite.
The Eternal Life City on Top Mountain is in line with Li Xiu's imagination of Eternal Life Heaven.
However, these places under the mountain looked like slums, which completely subverted Li Xiu's perception.
Li Xiuxiu rode the pink dream monster forward and suddenly saw a person standing on the road in front of him, blocking his way.
Li Xiu had no choice but to hold the pink dream demon and look at the person blocking the road.
It was a man in tattered clothes, quite tall, with a cross-shaped scar on his cheek, which made him look a bit vicious.
"I accept your life." The man opened his arms, and a blood-colored spear appeared in his hands. The tip of the gun could not stop trembling, and he aimed it straight at Li Xiu's chest.
