Endless route

Chapter 92 53. Heavenly Palace

Chirp!

With a crane cry, the crane rose into the sky and rushed towards the dragon-patterned coffin below. Two breaths melted into the darkness of the rift valley, completely losing its shadow.

Can you make it?

Zheng Yun looked at the bottom of the valley and asked. The Immortal Burial Valley was pitch black. He didn't know how deep it was, but the dragon-patterned coffin had long since disappeared. It was probably almost at the bottom.

Master Immortal, the Immortal Burial Valley is three thousand feet deep, and it usually takes thirty breaths to reach the bottom. Jidao wiped the sweat from his forehead and explained to Zheng Yun.

Three thousand feet?

Zheng Yun was shocked.

Three thousand feet is nine thousand meters. This rift valley is actually nine thousand meters deep? This terrain is really strange. Trenches this deep are common, but rift valleys are really uncommon.

No wonder it can bury immortals.

As long as it has breath, cannot fly, and is alive, it will be smashed nine thousand meters to the end, and even the gods will die with a pop.

The bloody corpse is dead.

No matter whether you are the king or not, whether you live forever or not, you will be like a mosquito, smashed into a pool of blood.

It's a pity that there are six Yin soldiers.

It would be great if this bloody corpse could be carried to Hades Pavilion. Maybe it could be turned into a Yin soldier to make up for the losses.

Master Immortal, let's go back as soon as possible when the cranes come up. The Heavenly Palace is extremely dangerous. Although it is located on the top of a mountain, there are many demonic birds nearby that love to eat my rice. Even Zhen Xuanyin can't kill them, so they can only drive them away.

Ji Dao glanced outside.

Zheng Yun thought thoughtfully. Orientals are very stubborn about farming. They have to plant something wherever they go. It seems that if they don’t plant something, it’s not their own territory.

There are many examples on the Endless Passage, and many extreme environments have the remains of ancient farming. But it is a bit unnecessary for places like Tiangong to insist on farming.

This magic of suppressing Xuanyin might be an 'agricultural skill', which was created to drive away the demonic birds in this place.

Why do these birds love your rice? There is nothing to eat outside? Can't a crane defeat them?

Zheng Yun asked curiously.

Master Immortal, at least rice is not poisonous. Look in the east. Every morning when the sun rises, there are five colors of rays filling the air. They are all raw materials for refining poison pills.

As for the cranes, to be honest, they just couldn't survive and couldn't fight the demonic birds from the outside, so they gathered near the Tiangong, waiting for people to feed and control them.

Jidao sighed, then raised his hand and pointed around and said: Master Immortal, the Heavenly Palace is really not a place for humans. There is a Xianhai Lake behind the mountain to the west, with dragons in it, and in the forest to the south, there is a Yin Zhu...

Back then, the founder of Tiangong, who was also a master of Taoism, wanted to build a thatched house here. Halfway through the construction, he lost an eye, his legs were taken away by things, and his arms fell off. Three hundred and seventy-two disciples survived. Thirteen of them were picked up, and two hundred of them were blown away by a demonic wind, falling like rain from the sky.

There are also many disciples who died unjustly. They drank spring water, smelled the fragrance of flowers, touched leaves, found a stone to rest on, and died suddenly and inexplicably.

This realm is the residence of immortals. Mortals will die immediately if they enter. If the second generation of ancestors did not come out of the mountain and set up formations to drive away the surrounding monsters, this heavenly palace would not be able to be built.

Zheng Yun was silent.

The ancients were really persistent in seeking immortality. In this case, they had to force entry. This place is not a fairyland. This is completely a primitive alien planet.

With the ability of the ancients, even if they mastered the methods of gods and ghosts, it was difficult to explore such a place. It was almost common to risk human lives to explore the way, and thousands of people died every day.

But Tiangong is indeed outrageous.

In such an extreme environment, so many palaces and buildings were built, and the land was opened for farming. They even dared to steal dragon eggs and return them to 'control the dragon'.

Listening to Ji Dao's previous words, the ancients had really succeeded in getting the Book of Mountains and Seas together, including many dragons and sun-swallowing tengu.

The ancients were really clever.

Zheng Yun listened to the movements of monsters in the distance, and couldn't help but respect the Taoist priests of Tiangong in the past.

Ancient Westerners explored alien planets and opened up shipping routes and land for money and resources.

But not the ancient East.

These Taoist priests of the Heavenly Palace do not seek wealth or profit, and they go through all kinds of hardships to explore the Heavenly Palace. They should just do it to seek immortality. At most, they want to gain a reputation as a transcendent and worldly person who can stand in the fairyland, and get some kind of real person's name.

The ancients sought death in various dangerous places, leaving their footprints all over the endless sea routes, and engaged in a lot of mysterious things. This pursuit does have a fairy-like flavor.

If you hear the truth in the morning, you will die in the evening.

When a Tiangong Taoist sees the poisonous five-color glow, he will be poisoned to death the next moment, but at the moment he sees it, he should feel that he will die without regrets.

Hard to say.

A bit anti-human.

But worthy of respect.

It is a bit similar to modern extreme sportsmen, pursuing something spiritual of their own.

Of course, it does not rule out that there is a secret to immortality in the Heavenly Palace. If there is, just pretend that you didn’t tell it.

The pursuit of immortality was originally a bit fairy-tale, but once it was interfered with by messy people, such as the Demon Pregnancy Tower and the refining of blood pills, there was no fairy-tale flavor left.

came back.

Jidao looked towards the Immortal Burial Valley.

A black shadow clung to the steep rock wall, rising into the sky from the bottom of the valley, and flew back into the temple in two breaths.

Clang.

It loosened its claws and dropped something.

Zheng Yun and Jidao took a closer look and saw a long black sword, a jade seal, and an imperial crown.

These things were stained with blood, and Ji Dao didn't dare to touch them. He turned back to look at the crane and found some blood on the crane's feet, so he quickly let it wash in the lake.

Take care of it before leaving.

Zheng Yun spoke softly. The blood of the bloody corpse flowed all over the floor. It might be poisonous.

This is easy to deal with. There is no shortage of water near the Immortal Gate. You can just go back to the secret realm to find some rags to wipe it with, and then throw it into the Immortal Burial Valley.

After hasty processing.

Everyone took the trophies and returned to the secret realm. They put them on the jade table without bothering to study them, and went straight to the immortal gate.

They hurriedly carried the dragon-patterned coffin to deal with it, but the immortal gate was still open. Although Zheng Yun left Gui Jiu and Gui Qi to guard it, it didn't take a minute before they entered the heavenly palace.

But that real person may not be really dead, and there are still three Supervisor Immortal Sixianwei of unknown origin who have not been dealt with.

At this time, the 'immortal' has been dealt with, and these enemies are no longer afraid, and there will probably be a fierce battle.

Some caution must be exercised.

Zheng Yun looked around and confirmed that both Gui Jiang and Ji Dao were wearing gas masks, and then led them through the fairy gate and back to the Taoist palace.

The third floor of the underground palace was still dark.

As they walked out of the clear pool on the altar, they heard the sound of a ghost general brandishing a sword in their ears. When they looked carefully, they found that the limbs of the gray-robed Taoist priests were all under their feet.

Looking at the bloody mess on the ground, Zheng Yun's heart skipped a beat, knowing that there must have been a fight here, and he immediately raised his head and looked ahead.

Most of the Yin soldiers he brought down were also dead and injured, lying around twitching as if they had been poisoned.

There were three figures in the center of the underground hall, where the sound came from. Gui Jiu Gui Qi was holding a long knife and was fighting with the skinny Taoist priest who was covered in flesh and blood.

Zhang Zhenren was indeed not dead.

Not only did he not die, he even had the means to do so. The sleeves of his Taoist robe were waving in the air, and every time he swung them out, there was a pool of black blood.

The black blood was somewhat secretive, and the ghost generals were very afraid of it. Every time he swung his sleeves, the ghost generals would dodge.

Fortunately, Zhang Zhenren only had one arm left. When Gui Jiu dodged, Gui Qi struck with a knife, attacking each other alternately, until Zhang Zhenzhen couldn't resist for long.

Zheng Yun frowned.

This picture is really disgusting. This Three Demon Island Thousand Immortals Dojo is all in this disgusting way.

The secret method of immortality here seems to be related to blood. Human blood and the blood of human-eating monsters must be mixed with the blood of immortal demons in the Pregnant Demon Tower to refine the blood elixir.

Combine this experience with what you have learned along the way.

Zheng Yun was also a little skeptical. They might actually find something by doing this kind of 'biochemical experiment'.

It's a pity that everything must come to an end.

This real person is about to be executed. This place is surrounded by three hundred Yin soldiers, and there is no way for him to survive in the sky or on earth.

Master Immortal, look, there are still coffins... Jidao suddenly spoke, raising his hand and pointing back.

After they carried away the dragon-patterned coffin, a corridor leading deep into the house appeared. Next to this corridor, there were three smaller blood coffins.

My little friend, we are all family members.

We are also the descendants of Triton.

This matter has nothing to do with us!

At the same time that Zheng Yun turned his head, there was a sound in the blood coffin, which made Zheng Yun's eyes light up. He wanted to move these three blood coffins to the Hades Pavilion and turn them into Yin soldiers.

But if I think about it carefully, I wouldn't want it if the thing inside was the kind of person with blood pimples.

Not as good as this Zhenren Zhang.

Although he was old and emaciated, almost to death from being chopped down, and even one of his arms was missing, at least he was still a human being.

Try to catch them alive.

Zheng Yun raised his hand and waved, and the five ghost generals behind him immediately stepped forward, holding the rope in their hands and running quickly towards Master Zhang with a weird smile on their face.

At the same time, the remaining Yin soldiers stepped forward and tied the three blood coffins tightly with climbing ropes.
