Nie Caizhu's expression changed slightly when she heard the words, and she immediately looked around vigilantly. She had been paying attention to her surroundings just now, but she didn't find anyone approaching.
"Fellow Daoist, don't panic. If I wanted to harm you, I wouldn't have helped you before." At this moment, a somewhat familiar voice sounded, and a handsome young man in a blue robe walked out slowly.
"It's you?"
Shen Luo took a look and found that it was the Kaitian Beast who had helped them deal with Wu Luo and the other three earlier.
"I have some natal supernatural powers. It's not difficult to find the traces of your flying escape, so I quickly chased after you. In order not to cause you to misunderstand, I didn't show up before. I didn't come here until you, fellow daoist, finished healing." Kai Mingshou spread his hands and said.
His words were inside and out, clearly releasing kindness.
"Thank you for helping me earlier." Shen Luo stood up and said, clasping his fists.
"There's no need to be too polite, to tell the truth, the reason why I help you is to stop Shadow War Leopard and the others." Kai Ming Beast waved his hand and said.
"Shadow War Leopard?" Shen Luo frowned.
"It's the black-robed young man who fought with you earlier, and the other big man with a horse face. His real body is a black fire horse. They are spirit beasts imprisoned here just like me." Kaiming Beast said.
"May I ask, why are you imprisoned here?" Shen Luo hesitated.
"It's not accurate to say that we are imprisoned. In fact, we are kept here in captivity. It's just that our Yuanling seals are all in Tianyan Palace and sealed up." Kaiming Beast said.
"In this way, the three of you are also in the same boat, and you should be in the same position. Why is there a hostile relationship between you?" Shen Luo was still on guard, and continued to ask.
"I'm still a little different from them. Back then, I voluntarily followed the old man Tianyan, but they were forcibly detained. Among them, the Shadow War Leopard had an owner." Kai Mingshou said.
"Who is his master?" Shen Luo asked.
"I don't know, I just know that he was originally the spiritual pet of a demon monk. We were imprisoned in the spirit beast garden before. One day more than a hundred years ago, a magic weapon suddenly came through the sky and wiped out the Tianyan Palace. Part of the ban was destroyed, and the three of us could escape from the spirit beast garden. I always thought that the owner of that magic weapon was probably also the owner of the Shadow War Leopard." Kai Ming Beast said.
Hearing this, Shen Luo looked strange, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Has Wu Luo been to Tianyan Palace before?"
"When was it before? In my impression, it didn't exist." Kai Tian Beast shook his head.
"Is there any connection between Wu Luo and the Shadow War Leopard or the Black Fire Horse?" Shen Luo continued to ask.
"I don't know." Kaiming Beast shook his head again.
"The demon clan you mentioned, that is, the original owner of the Shadow War Leopard, I think it is very likely to be Wu Luo." Shen Luo said.
After Kai Ming Beast listened, he didn't speak, his face showed a thoughtful look.
Chapter 1635 The Real Tianyan Palace
"Do you remember Wu Luo's plan to get rid of us and go through the level alone? I suspect that the Shadow War Leopard is helping in the dark." Shen Luo looked at Nie Caizhu and said.
"From what you said, it is indeed very possible." Nie Caizhu also nodded.
"No matter what, their goal must be to seize control of Tianyan Palace. You should also know that this Tianyan Palace is an artifact refined by the old man Tianyan's life. Its power is unprecedented. If you seize it, the creatures of the three realms will probably experience a catastrophe." Kai Ming Beast said with a serious expression on his face.
"Right now, Che Qingtian and Wu Luo are coveting Tianyan Palace. These two are evil-minded people. Once they take Tianyan Palace, I am afraid that Tianji City will be the first to suffer. I must not let this Something happened." Shen Luo nodded thoughtfully and said.
"Two fellow daoists, please take Tianyan Palace from their hands." Kai Mingshou glanced at the two of them and said.
"You let us take Tianyan Palace, don't you think so at all?" It's not that Shen Luo used the heart of a villain to measure the belly of a gentleman, but that this is really contrary to common sense.
After all, they had never met before, did not understand each other, and had no trust at all.
"I'm just a spirit beast, and I don't know the mysteries of Yanshu. I don't think the old man Tianyan would want Tianyan Palace to fall into the hands of someone like me. Besides, my Yuanling seal is still elsewhere. If it is taken away by someone, Then you will be reduced to other people's spiritual favor. Even if you are not free, how dare you talk about controlling Tianyan Palace? Moreover, I can feel that you two are pure-minded people, so I am willing to help you seize Tianyan Palace. Yan Palace." Kai Ming Beast shook his head and said with a wry smile.
"If that's the case, you can rest assured that we will help you regain the seal of Yuan Ling and give you back your freedom." Seeing his sincerity, Shen Luo couldn't help saying.
"That's it, thank you very much. However, if we prioritize, the most important thing is to capture Tianyan Palace." Kaiming Beast clasped his fists in thanks, and said.
The three agreed to form an alliance, and immediately set off again.
Soon, they also came to the light gate deep in the altar, Kai Mingshou walked into it first, followed by Shen Luo and Nie Caizhu, and entered the fifth floor through the light gate.
……
Walking out of the light gate, the three of Shen Luo found themselves on a huge peak that held the sky.
This peak soars into the sky, almost touching the sky, and above the top of the peak, there are clusters of white lights of different shades, like auroras, constantly flashing.
They were standing on a cliff flat stone platform in the middle of the mountain. In the lush forest in front of them, there were winding mountain roads leading to the top of the mountain.
And looking along every forked road, you can see tall buildings standing in the distance.
With a flash of light in Shen Luo's eyes, he turned his Ghost Eyes to look at those buildings, and his expression couldn't help changing slightly.
"What's wrong?" Nie Caizhu asked.
"There are plaques hanging horizontally on the lintels of those main halls. For some reason, the words 'Tianyan Palace' are written on them." Shen Luo said with a frown.
After speaking, he immediately let go of his spiritual sense and tried to detect the reality of these halls.
As a result, as soon as his divine thoughts were released, there was a sharp pain in his mind. It was as if the little soul had been stuck on his body by countless needles, and the pain was unbearable.
Immediately afterwards, Nie Caizhu on the side also showed pain.
"Don't try to mobilize the power of the soul. Have you seen those white lights in the sky? That is the extinguishing light, which cannot be blocked by any magic weapon. Even if you don't deliberately use the power of the soul, or even block the sea of consciousness, it can't be blocked This kind of divine light will continuously stimulate your spirit, and the longer it takes, the more unbearable it will be." The Kaitian Beast at the side explained.
Hearing this, Shen Luo quickly withdrew the power of his consciousness, and the pain eased a little, but when he turned his head to look at Kai Tian Beast, he found that his expression was quite calm, and he couldn't help asking:
"Why do you look like there is no obvious discomfort?"
"My feeling is the same as yours. No magic weapon can block this extinguishing primordial light, and this place is illuminated by this light all the time and everywhere. No one can avoid it, so they can't endure it for a long time. I The reason why it looks normal is because I have been here a few times with the Shadow War Leopard before, and I have some stamina." Kai Mingshou explained.
"Have you been here before?" Shen Luo was a little surprised when he heard this.
"In order to regain the seal of the Yuanling, I have tried to break through here several times, but unfortunately they all failed in the end. You can't stay here for too long, otherwise the soul will be severely injured. The only exception is to hold the Kunlun mirror to release the dark domain. It was able to withstand most of the Mishen Yuanguang. It is also because of this that the Shadow War Leopard and the Black Fire Horse were so desperate to snatch this thing." Kai Ming Beast said.
Upon hearing this, Nie Caizhu's eyes lit up, and she immediately turned her wrist and took out the Kunlun mirror.
She whispered a few words, released the dark domain, and immediately enveloped the three of them in it.
After entering the realm of darkness, the three of them obviously relaxed, and Shen Luo also found that the pain in his soul had been reduced by most of it.
"Fellow Daoist, next time it's better to tell such important information first." Nie Caizhu looked at Kai Ming Beast and said helplessly.
"Sorry." Kai Ming Beast said very seriously.
Shen Luo glanced around and found that there was no stone tablet standing here, and asked instead: "Fellow Daoist, do you know what the test on this level is? And where is the inheritance of Tianyan Palace?"
"I'm not sure what the test here is, but according to my guess, it should be to find the real Tianyan Palace among so many halls." Kaiming Beast said.
"Looking for the real Tianyan Palace? It can't be that simple, can it?" Shen Luo asked in surprise, a little unbelievable.
"Of course it's not that simple. The environment and roads we see in front of us are actually alive in a sense, and they may change at any time. I, the Shadow War Leopard and the Black Fire Horse are the first When I broke into here for the first time, I almost lost my way and failed to return to the fourth floor." Kaiming Beast nodded.
"If that's the case, it's somewhat similar to a maze. I'm afraid we can only find one by one to try." Shen Luo said after pondering for a moment.
"Well, we will mark each of the halls we have found. No matter how the environment changes, we will not go to the halls we have found. We will check them one by one, and we will always find the real Tianyan Palace. "Nie Caizhu said.
"Not bad." Shen Luo nodded and said.
"It's not too late, let's act now. I'm afraid Wu Luo and the others have entered this floor after we retreated earlier, and they may be looking for Tianyan Palace." Kaiming Beast said.
The three of them took the leftmost fork first, and rushed towards the palace at the end of the road.
……
Chapter 1636 Three Skeletons
at the same time.
In the dark city on the fourth floor, there is a hidden old house in a corner, and a figure is walking into it at this moment.
This person is none other than Che Qingtian who is still alone in the dark city.
He came to a dilapidated hall in the depths of the old house, and saw a small three-foot-square altar inside at a glance, and then walked quickly to it.
With a wave of his hand, Che Qingtian brushed off the dust on the altar, revealing a small talisman array underneath.
He flipped his hands and took out three black crystals from the magical storage device, and placed them on the three top corners of the talisman formation, and then took out a small silver bottle, unplugged the bottle, and slowly poured out the silver liquid inside .
The silver slurry flowed along the lines of the magic circle, filling all the grooves and connecting the three crystals together.
Then, Che Qingtian made a seal with his hands, and began to chant strange spells in his mouth.
As the sound of his chanting continued, the silver slurry on the altar began to shake slightly, and after a while it surged and jumped like a living creature, covering the entire altar.
Seeing this, Che Qingtian stopped his chanting, and with a wave of his hand, three black skulls with metallic luster emerged and landed side by side on the altar.
The silver slurry on the altar surged up quickly, wrapping towards the black skull.
The black crystals placed at the three top corners also quickly liquefied and merged into the silver slurry.
Che Qingtian rubbed his fingers, and a layer of phosphorous-like green bone dust fell down, immediately igniting the silver slurry, and a ghostly will-o'-the-wisp rose from the entire altar, swaying endlessly.
The next moment, there was a "click" sound from the will-o'-the-wisp fire, and then, a black skeleton calf poked out from the firelight.
Che Qingtian took a step back, waiting for the thing in the will-o'-the-wisp to come out.
Soon, three complete black skeletal bodies stepped out of the will-o'-the-wisp one after another and stood in front of him.
As the flames on the altar gradually receded and dissipated, the hollow eye sockets of the three black skeletons suddenly lit up with light, but the flames in their eyes were different.
Among them, the black skeleton on the far left has extremely long arms, hanging down to the knees. It looks like an old ape, slightly hunched, with dark green flames shining in its eye sockets.
The one in the middle is taller, more than two heads taller than the rickety skeleton, and the bones on its body are also thicker. It stands upright. Although it is just a dry bone with no flesh and blood, it exudes the power of the overlord. He has a similar temperament, with a dark red bloodthirsty light shining in his eyes.
The last skeleton was well-proportioned, no different from ordinary ones, but there were two groups of golden flames burning in the eye sockets.
Although these three skeletons have different shapes, they all have devilish energy emanating from their bodies, and their aura has reached the peak level of a true immortal, and they are only half a step away from the realm of Taiyi.
"Jie Jie... Che Qingtian, don't you still have to ask us for help in the end?" The tall and mighty skeleton sneered, not without mocking.
When Che Qingtian heard the words, he snorted coldly and didn't reply.
"Red Cave, shut your mouth. You must have encountered difficulties if you can call us out, right?" the rickety skeleton scolded the tall skeleton angrily, then turned to ask Che Qingtian.
"Fellow Taoist Youquan, the situation in the Yan Palace today is a bit complicated. In addition to Shen Luo, Wu Luo also brought the Shadow War Leopard and the Black Fire Horse into the mix. He wants to seize control of the Tianyan Palace. It's easy." Che Qingtian said with a slightly relaxed expression.
Hearing Che Qingtian mention Shen Luo's name, the golden flame visibly jumped in the eye sockets of the slender skeleton standing on the far right.
"Daoyou, don't be in a hurry at this moment, you should tell us the specific situation of Tianyan Palace in detail." The slender skeleton said, but the voice was a woman.
"Fellow Daoist Jinxiu, that's fine, I'll tell you in detail." Che Qingtian nodded in response, and then began to tell them the current situation of Tianyan Palace in detail.
After a while, the three skeletons fell silent after listening to the narration.
"In this way, they should have entered the fifth floor at this moment. It is not too late. Let's leave immediately." The rickety skeleton named Youquan said in a deep voice.
"Okay." Several people set off immediately, heading for the light gate deep in the altar.
……
On the mountain peak on the fifth floor, outside the gate of a "Tianyan Palace", Shen Luo and his party of three were breaking the restriction on the gate.
The restriction on the gate of the palace is not complicated, Shen Luo didn't spend much effort to break it.
He raised his hand and pushed, the heavy hall door creaked, and opened inwards, revealing the empty hall inside, and an old and mildewy smell came over his face immediately.
Shen Luo took the first step across the threshold and walked into the hall.
The floor inside the hall is paved with bluestone. The whole room is not small, but there is no furnishings inside, only a few pillars supporting the hall stand inside the house.
Shen Luo frowned and searched around, but found nothing.
"It seems that this place is not the real Tianyan Palace..." Shen Luo's eyes flickered with strange light, and after searching around with ghost eyes, he said.
"I just found the first place, how can I have such good luck?" Nie Caizhu laughed.
"In the real Tianyan Palace, I'm afraid the restriction at the entrance is not so easy to break." Kai Mingshou said.
While talking, several people were about to leave when Kai Mingshou suddenly turned his eyes and stopped on an inconspicuous pillar in the hall.
He took a few steps to the stone pillar, pinched the magic formula with one hand, a water blue light flashed in his palm, and raised his palm to lightly wipe on the pillar.
The stone pillar also immediately glowed with light, and several simple runes appeared on the surface, and then quickly shrunk in the light, and soon turned into a stone pestle about a foot long.
Suddenly a supporting stone pillar was missing in the main hall, and the room didn't even shake at all, and it wasn't affected at all.
Shen Luo counted again and found that the stone pillars in the hall were symmetrically arranged from left to right, and the number was exactly the same, and the stone pillar transformed from the previous magic pestle was actually an extra one.
The Kaiming Beast held the stone pestle in its hand, and its magic power slowly entered it, and layers of forbidden runes immediately emerged, as many as 49 layers.
"Fellow daoist is lucky, and it's actually a magic weapon with a high rank." Seeing this, Shen Luo laughed.
"It's a pity that I don't have time to refine it for the time being, and I don't know what special power this magic weapon has?" Kai Tian Beast murmured.
"When you take control of Tianyan Palace and restore your free body, the sky is big and the earth is big, you can refine it anywhere." Shen Luo said.
