Ascension Through Generations

Chapter 572 Endless Tunnel

Eighty miles,

One hundred miles,

It only took everyone an hour to easily walk out of the two hundred miles.

Not to mention danger along the way, not even a hair was found. Because anything of value in the nearby ruins had long been dug up and taken away by predecessors.

As the team walked further and further, they got closer and closer to the skeleton of the giant beast.

As they got closer, everyone could better appreciate the terrifying size of this giant beast and the majestic pressure it constantly exuded.

Looking up, I saw the skeleton of this beast towering into the clouds. I was surprised that I could no longer see its full picture. I could only feel that the giant bones spanning the sky contained infinite mysteries. They were also like avenues reaching the sky, attracting people to climb up. Straight into the fairyland.

As time passed, Zhao Sheng gradually became fascinated by it. Unknowingly, his mind seemed to be completely attracted by it. The surrounding ruins seemed to become blurred and disappear. All his eyes and spirit were occupied by this giant beast that reached the sky.

In a trance, he vaguely saw an unimaginably large silver-white giant wolf approaching from a distance, stepping on the ground, water, wind and fire, while looking up to the sky and howling.

In front of it, a majestic and precipitous vast peak, emitting immeasurable light, slowly emerged from the unknown void.

The moment the giant peak appeared, Zhao Sheng suddenly woke up.

Only then did he realize that his chest was burning hot, and the corner of the apricot-yellow talisman had turned black as if it had been burned by fire.

Zhao Sheng raised his head and scanned the entire team, and what he saw made him secretly horrified.

At this moment, I saw many people in the crowd silently lighting up balls of pale fireworks, which turned into human-shaped torches in the blink of an eye.

What's even more frightening is that these people seem to be unaware of it and are still walking forward, but their eyes are always fixed on the skeleton of the giant beast, and their souls have been completely captured.

The people around him hurriedly exited a large open space, for fear of being caught by a trace of pale flames.

No one dared to step forward to wake him up, and no one tried to save him!

Even Feng Fengzi and the three people at the front stood aside and showed no intention of helping.

After walking forward for a while, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but look sideways when he passed a group of human-shaped torches.

"Infinite Immortal Buddha, these people have been deceived by terrifying spirits and are so obsessed that they are hopeless. White-browed Tan Yue should not look too much, be careful not to be contaminated by cause and effect."

Hearing this, Zhao Sheng turned to look at Monk Hei, only to see the other man smiling kindly and slowly raising his palms together.

"Thank you, Master, for reminding me!" Zhao Sheng bowed his head and glanced at Sha Jiutong and others. He immediately found that the three of them were conscious and the Taoist talismans on their chests were intact. They seemed to have known the secret of the giant beast's bones for a long time.

After a few breaths, the human-shaped torch burned out and turned into pieces of pale haze, rising into the sea of ​​clouds high in the sky.

After this disaster, the number of people in the team was reduced by 20%, with only less than 500 people left.

Even before Gray Mountain arrived, so many people had already been lost along the way. Seeing that the situation was not right, many people secretly backed down.

Just when people were uneasy, Feng Fengzi suddenly stepped forward to appease people and issued a recruitment order in advance.

The token is not big, made of some kind of azure spiritual gold, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, with an immortal seal engraved on the surface.

Others did not recognize Xianzhuan, but Zhao Sheng recognized that this character was exactly the character "wind".

Even so, nearly fifty people still chose to quit without receiving recruitment orders.

Feng Fengzi was surprisingly easy to talk to and allowed him to leave at will.

Seeing this situation, everyone felt at ease and their morale became high again.

Two hours later, everyone successfully reached the foot of Gray Mountain, having completed a journey of hundreds of miles.

Feng Fengzi did not let everyone rest for a moment and directly took the lead in climbing the Gray Mountain.

As the name of Ash Mountain suggests, the entire mountain is covered with thick ash that resembles volcanic ash. Often, a single step on it will leave a hole over a foot deep.

Because people have opened roads on this mountain a long time ago, after countless people trampled on it, a winding "mountain road" more than three feet wide has been formed on the mountain.

Only a thin layer of "ash" fell on the road, and countless messy footprints were clearly visible.

Zhao Sheng followed the team and slowly walked up the mountain.

However, the large team soon fell into strange silence again, leaving only the sound of footsteps.

Ash Mountain is not steep, it is gentle, but the mountain is incredibly huge. Looking to both sides, the ash layer is flat and endless. You can't see the edge at a glance, and you can barely feel the curve of the mountain.

In the atmosphere of dead silence, time passes slowly!

Unconsciously, everyone climbed for a long time. The height had already exceeded ten thousand feet, and they were close to the mountainside of Gray Mountain. The vast pale mist above was already close at hand.

At this moment, Zhao Sheng saw the team at the front suddenly submerged into the mountain and disappeared.

With a change of thought, he suddenly realized that there was a cave, and the destination of his trip was deep in the cave.

At this time, the team's climbing speed suddenly accelerated a lot. The people in front jumped up and down, their bodies flashed, and disappeared in front of them in the blink of an eye.

Not long after, a huge sunken crack in the ground suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Sheng.

There were obvious traces of excavation and excavation on the edge of the ground crack, and a large bottomless hole was revealed in the deepest part. At this time, everyone was jumping into the hole.

Sha Jiutong and others also jumped down in a hurry. Seeing this, Zhao Sheng took off the thunderwood sword from his back with his backhand, and jumped down with the sword in his right hand.

After only falling a few dozen feet, a large area of ​​soft white light appeared in the space below.

boom!

Zhao Sheng passed through the white light and suddenly fell to the ground. He twisted and kicked his feet and flew seven or eight feet away, easily resolving all the falling force.

He stood firm and looked around, seeing that this was a huge underground cave covering an area of ​​at least twenty miles.

The four walls of the cave exude a faint white light, and are actually covered with large tracts of milky-white boulders. The texture of the stones is delicate and smooth, similar to jade.

In the deepest part of the cave, a huge unknown building that was completely white protruded from the mountain, revealing a corner.

But only this small part exposed occupies most of the cave space. You can imagine how huge this building really is!

At this time, bursts of noise suddenly came from below the huge sunken slope ahead.

Zhao Sheng withdrew his gaze and walked quickly down the slope.

He walked slowly, but from time to time, figures would pass by him, jumping eagerly to the bottom of the slope and joining the crowd.

After a few breaths, Zhao Sheng arrived at the outskirts of the crowd and joined Sha Jiutong and Hei Monk who had arrived in advance.

"You can choose a crack to enter at will. After entering, the treasures picked up along the way will belong to you. If you encounter a dead end that you cannot move forward, you can turn back on your own..."

At this time, Feng Fengzi was floating above the crowd and was preaching to everyone.

"In addition, Pindao would like to remind you that there are immortal magic restrictions all over the inner layer of the Immortal Palace, which can be called ten kills in one step, and there are countless dangers. If someone enters the inner layer of the Immortal Palace, please crush this elixir in time. Pindao and his two junior brothers will automatically Get there as quickly as possible. Otherwise, if you are in danger and die, don't blame Pindao for not warning you in advance."

As he spoke, Feng Fengzi waved his sleeves and sprinkled out vermilion pills as big as longan eyes.

The red pill flew to everyone automatically, and then was caught by everyone and put into their arms.

Zhao Sheng glanced ahead and saw hundreds of cracks, large and small, on the huge and smooth white wall.

The largest crack is nearly a hundred feet wide at its widest point. The smallest crack is less than the width of a palm, and only a handful of special people can pass through it.

Looking through the largest crack, Zhao Sheng saw seven or eight exposed corridors.

Each corridor is three feet long, four feet wide and about four feet high. The interior is also made of white stones and leads deeper.

Looking inside other cracks, I saw more corridors.

After Feng Fengzi finished preaching, he walked to an open space and sat cross-legged to meditate. The same goes for the other two veterans, but they are behind Feng Fengzi.

Some people who were impatient hurriedly chose the corridor and got in first.

But most people were not in a hurry to go in, but instead observed the situation carefully outside.

Sha Jiutong called Zhao Sheng and others aside and asked in a deep voice: "Fellow Taoists, the situation has changed now. Should we choose to walk alone separately, or should we still enter the corridor together as agreed."

"Let's go together! It's good to have someone to take care of us when we are in danger." Gong Sanchang spoke first.

"I think so too." Zhao Sheng immediately agreed upon hearing this.

The ruins of the Immortal Palace are full of unknowns, and it is not wise to go in alone.

"Infinite Immortal Buddha! I second the proposal." Black monk clasped his hands together slightly and chanted.

At this time, among the five people, only Zhang Hua Sanren remained without expressing his position.

Sha Jiutong looked at this person and asked, "Friend Zhang Hua, how about you?"

Baohua Sanren hesitated for a moment, then suddenly seemed to have figured something out, and quickly nodded: "I have no objection either!"

"Okay, in that case, let me choose a corridor to enter now!"

As soon as Sha Jiutong finished speaking, Zhao Sheng suddenly said: "Wait a minute, I have a suggestion."

"Fellow Taoist Baimei, please speak."

"Instead of choosing a corridor that no one has entered, it is better for us to choose a corridor that has been entered. After all, the ruins of the Immortal Palace have been around for seven or eight years, but no one has been able to enter the inner layer. It must be that the danger inside is not trivial, so we should be more cautious. Wonderful." Zhao Sheng explained the reason to the four people in a low voice.

"Okay, I second the proposal!"

"What Bai Mei said is absolutely true!"

"Yes, having someone exploring the road ahead will definitely reduce most of the risks."

Sha Jiutong and others nodded, and the five of them quickly reached a consensus.

Ever since!

The five people wandered outside the Immortal Palace for a long time, until most of the people got into the corridor, they finally selected a corridor that three people had entered before, and filed in.

In fact, there are quite a few "smart people" like them, and even Feng Fengzi and the other two didn't try to stop them.

After everyone went in, Feng Fengzi suddenly opened his eyes and chuckled: "Two junior brothers, do you think anyone can come out alive this time?"

"It's difficult, it's too difficult! Time and space are endless, and the corridors are also endless! If they can't see the truth, how can these ordinary people see the end of the road!"

"Junior Brother Yunzhou, don't talk too much. After all, everyone who can come to the Immortal Burial Ruins has more or less one or two special qualifications related to the Avenue of Time and Space. Maybe there is a Qi or two hidden in these people. Those who are unlucky can successfully pass through the endless corridor and enter the True Immortal Palace."

"I don't have much time left to wait! Although Gray Mountain belongs to the lowest time and space node, blocking the news here for ten years is the limit. If we delay it, we will definitely provoke the group of Immortal Ruins wanderers."

Feng Fengzi said, taking out a crystal clear jade plate from his arms and placing it in front of his eyes for observation.

The jade plate is like a three-dimensional light screen, and an extremely complex three-dimensional maze is projected inside. Hundreds of red dots are constantly moving in the maze, and outline red lines.

At this time, there was a small blank space in the innermost part of the three-dimensional maze, and the outer part was surrounded by dense lines, so dense that it was almost like a ball of twine, and it was almost impossible to see the head and tail.

…

Da da da!

Zhao Sheng and the other five people moved forward quickly along the corridor, so fast that they almost left the afterimage.

In the blink of an eye, the five people rushed dozens of feet away. The strength of their feet far surpassed that of the innate master.

Zhao Sheng looked around as he chased, and saw that all six walls of the corridor were made of white jade, and the whole was completely natural, with no gaps visible.

The corridor was empty and absolutely clean, not even a speck of dust could be seen.

Zhao Sheng was quite surprised when he saw this situation.

Half an hour passed by in a flash.

The five people ran hundreds of miles away, but the surrounding corridors were still exactly the same as before, and no one was seen.

Wow!

An extremely harsh voice came from behind.

Zhao Sheng turned around sharply and saw Gong Sanchang holding a small knife and slashing across the wall of the cave.

However, the walls of the cave are as smooth as ever, with no scratches visible.

When Zhao Sheng saw this, a thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately forced out a drop of blood and flicked it to the ground with his fingers.

There was a bang, blood splashed, and there was a small blood stain on the ground.

Inspired, Sha Jiutong and others also used their own methods to leave unique marks in the corridor.

At the same time, everyone kept walking and flew away in an instant.

Time passes unconsciously!

From the beginning to now, everyone ran along the same corridor for more than two thousand miles in one breath.

"Damn it! I won't run away!"

At a certain moment, Biao Hua Sanren suddenly swore and stopped abruptly.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Sheng, Sha Jiutong, Black Monk, and Gong Sanchang also stopped.

Sha Jiutong panted slightly and said, "You guys have been running for so long, so you might as well rest for a while."

After saying that, he walked to the edge of the corridor and sat down leaning against the wall.

Upon seeing this, Gong Sanchang sat cross-legged without saying a word and began to close his eyes and regulate his breathing.

"Jie Jie, it seems that it's not just me, but you all have also noticed something is wrong!" Jie Jie sneered as the master of the painting team gasped.

"Infinite Immortal Buddha! I thought that my physical strength was indeed exhausted faster."

"At least ten times faster!" Gong San said coldly.

Zhao Sheng didn't react much. After all, his physique was not only extremely powerful, but he also had an abnormal level of resilience. Although his physical strength is exhausted quickly, his recovery speed is faster.

"This place is part of the ruins of the Immortal Palace. It is not unusual to have certain special restrictions. I just wonder why I didn't see any marks left by the people in front of me along the way. Didn't they make any marks? This possibility is unlikely!"

Zhao Sheng's words immediately caused the organizers to ridicule: "Maybe they forgot! Or maybe they marked it but you didn't see it."

"Everyone, have you seen it?" Zhao Sheng ignored this person and turned to look at the others.

Sha Jiutong and others all said that they did not see any marks.

Zhao Sheng nodded thoughtfully, suddenly walked aside, sat down and adjusted his breath.

The painter smiled brightly, shook his head disdainfully, and sat down to rest.

Everyone repaired for a quarter of an hour and then started running forward again.
