Immortal Formula

   Chapter 602 The Golden Giant Bird Appears

An extremely vast and distant meaning seemed to come from the high platform in front of him at this moment, making Gu Yan's heart feel as if it had received a heavy blow, her hand could not help loosening, and the mirage king seemed to be As if a gap was found, a golden glow flashed past, and it was already rushing towards the high platform.

Behind Gu Yan, countless flames poured out towards the front, and the gap in front of him that had been opened had started to get smaller and smaller, but Gu Yan was still standing there, her My heart seemed to be under great shock. The picture I saw in front of me, the incomparably vast starry sky and the stars in the sky, seemed to strangely bring together the two unrelated scenes I had seen before. .

   The countless stars in front of her eyes are not clearly the star map she saw under the jade couch of the Yunchi Sword Master that day?

  Although Mo Li at the time denied that he had seen this star map, Gu Yan knew that the old swordsman of the game Fengchen must know something, but he never announced it.

   And under the stars, proud and ancient, the phoenix platform that stood up seemed to coincide with the sword intent they saw when they crossed the white sand beach.

The ancestor of the Tibetan sword, the thousand-fold sword intent left on the white sand beach seems to be hidden in this picture. The two are strangely and perfectly blended together, making Gu Yan's sea of ​​consciousness like a heavy blow. For a moment, she seemed to realize something, but she couldn't grasp the direction at a loss.

   At this time, Ning Fengzi's screams had already sounded quickly: "Why don't you rush out and wait to be buried here?"

In one sentence, Gu Yan was pulled out of the mysterious and mysterious realm. She was conscious and realized that the gap appeared in front of her. At this time, it had become only one foot square, and countless flames were still rushing towards the front. Go, without hesitation, she rushed forward quickly, five fire spirits circled around her, dispelling all the flames blocking the road in front of her, and stepped in.

The moment when she jumped into the starry sky in front of her, Gu Yan seemed to see that there were twelve brilliance, and they flickered slightly in the distance. Before she could react, the opening behind her was closed, and the infinite The flames and the vast pool of fire were all blocked behind him.

   In front of her eyes, at this time, countless stars have disappeared, only the blue sky is the background, this simple and lonely Phoenix platform stands in front of her eyes like this.

   As Gu Yan rushed into the Phoenix Stage, the star map in front of Shen Mengli and the others disappeared at the same time. And when everyone recalled what they saw just now, they didn't even remember what the star map looked like.

  Qin Mingyue suddenly seemed to think of something and said, "Brother Shen, let's go first!" After speaking, she flew forward and rushed forward. Shen Mengli was stunned for a moment, and then followed her footsteps and flew forward, and his distant voice could still be heard in the distance: "Everyone is still moving forward in three ways, according to the previous strategy, I am afraid that there will be changes in the fire pool in front of you. Yes. Everyone, be careful!"

   Shen Mengli quickly caught up with Qin Mingyue and whispered, "What happened?"

Qin Mingyue's face was also a little surprised at this time, "I don't know either, but the star map that appeared just now is clearly the star in the sword washing pool that my master mentioned before. The vision that only appears when the Phoenix Stage is opened is clearly that woman who has entered the Phoenix Stage!"

   Shen Mengli said: "Didn't you say that there are twelve flag gates, why haven't you shown it?"

  Qin Mingyue turned her head quickly and saw that she was far away from the people behind her. She raised her wrist, and twelve auras flew out from her fingertips and disappeared into the vast void in front of her. She said: "Phoenix Terrace is the most mysterious place among the five secret places. Legend has it that it is indeterminate and has its own space. It floats back and forth in the Sword Washing Pond, and it is hard to find a trace, even without my Twelve Banners gatekeeper. Trapped, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape."

There was a hint of chill on her face, "Furthermore, it is said that on the Phoenix Stage, the thousand-fold sword intent left by the ancestor of the Tibetan Sword is sealed, which is the foundation of the entire Sword Washing Pond and Huqiu Mountain, and cannot be shaken by outsiders. Therefore, Even if she is a Sword Master, she will not enter lightly. This time, let her seek more blessings for herself!" She swiped her fingers quickly in the air, and twelve beams of brilliance flew up one by one, swiping in the air. There seems to be a big net that covers all the retreats ahead. Qin Mingyue suddenly pointed to the front and said, "Did you see it, that is Phoenix Terrace!"

At this moment, they rushed forward quickly, because the flame poured out of the fire pool pointed the direction, so the speed was extremely fast. In just a moment, they had rushed forward for a hundred miles. This is the most mysterious in the sword washing pool. Secretly, they finally caught the traces.

  The gate of the twelve flags rose up into the sky and quickly sank into the ground. In front of them, there appeared an incomparably huge, majestic and majestic high platform. The layers are stacked, and it is impossible to see how many layers are high. It seems that the whole body is shining with bronze brilliance. What is even more bizarre is that this high platform seems to be right in front of their eyes, and it seems to be in the sky, clearly tentacles. It is reachable, but there is no trace of it.

At this moment, even Shen Mengli couldn't help but be amazed. He once entered the innate secret place of the Danding Sect, the place called Wanfa Bronze Furnace, which seemed to be indistinguishable from the Sword Washing Pond, but compared to this nebulous place The sense of loneliness and mystery still seems to be inferior.

   Qin Mingyue furrowed her brows tightly at this moment, no one behind her could identify her direction, and there were only the two of them here at this time. She quickly hit the magic formula with her hands, and the flag gates disappeared from the ground from time to time. After a while, she let out a long breath and said, "I have blocked all the way around, if you want to take the risk However, if you open it up, it will shake the foundation of the Phoenix Stage and cause the Thousand Epee Sword inside to leak out unexpectedly, this is something that no disciple can afford, Gu Yan, just stay inside!"

Shen Mengli breathed a sigh of relief, and he suddenly said, "Junior Sister Qin, it seems that there is no grudge between you and Gu Yan, why are you trying to help me. Besides, you know the secrets in this Sword Washing Pond like the back of your hand. , Could it be that Master Padmasambhava told you all? As an outsider, no matter what, he won't know more about the secrets in this sword-washing pool than the disciples of Hidden Sword Villa?"

Qin Mingyue's face changed, she said lightly: "Brother Shen, everyone is a smart person, you should know that there are some things you can ask, and some things you can't ask. The secrets in the Sword Washing Pond are not all from my teacher. Respect, but I don't seem to need to tell you about these things. You have to remember that we are just a cooperative relationship. I am not as naive as my junior sister, I will tell you everything! "

  Shen Mengli smiled and said, "That's very good. In fact, Master Padmasambhava Shan Chongsheng, but he ignored you, the disciple in front of him, may not have any regrets."

   Qin Mingyue smiled lightly and said nothing, "It's true and false, but it's not so accurate."

   After she finished saying this sentence, a sword light flew behind her, led by Su Manjian, everyone fell here, Sumanjian raised his head, and said in surprise: "Phoenix Terrace!"

   Qin Mingyue returned to her original shy and quiet appearance before the crowd, and said softly, "Manjian, what is this place?"

Su Manjian's brows furrowed tightly, "Phoenix Terrace is the most mysterious place in the Sword Washing Pond. Legend has it that this is the place where the ancestor of Tibetan swords truly attained enlightenment, and the ancestors of Tibetan swords once realized the meaning of a thousand swords on it. , This is the foundation of the entire Sword Washing Pond and Huqiu Ridge. It’s just that although Phoenix Terrace is a secret place in the Sword Washing Pond, it is not in the Sword Washing Pond space, independent of heaven and earth. In the ten thousand years, countless disciples After entering the Sword Washing Pond, you can see that the Phoenix Terrace is so beautiful that it can be counted with two hands."

  Shen Mengli smiled and said, "Then we are not lucky?"

   Fang Shuo said angrily: "What do you mean, did Xiao Gu enter the Phoenix Stage?"

Su Manjian shook his head, "I don't know, the Phoenix Terrace is too mysterious, it is in space, coming and going, no one can find its trace, maybe this moment is still in front of our eyes, and the next moment will come. Outside of another space, we will never touch it for the rest of our lives."

   Fang Shuo shouted, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go up!"

Su Manjian spread out his hands and smiled bitterly: "Phoenix Terrace is independent of heaven and earth, what we see now may not be the Phoenix Terrace in front of us, but an image projected in an unknown space, you How to get up?"

   Fang Shuo said angrily: "So, is there no way?"

Su Manjian said: "For now, we can only wait, wait for the moment when the Phoenix Terrace appears." She pondered and said, "The Phoenix Terrace appears here, there must be no reason. Perhaps it is the change in the fire pool. , to touch it, or some other reason, but I think Sister Gu, she must have been on the Phoenix Stage. Now that the fire pool is scattered, the fire energy in the center of the earth has lost control, and the spiritual veins in the sword pool are washed away. Redistribute it, slowly return to the original point, and start a new fire pool. The core of the sword washing pool lies in this Phoenix Terrace."

  Jiang Yaojia said impatiently at this time: "Leave Gu Yan aside, how can we get out?"

At this time, Qin Mingyue suddenly said: "I once heard from the teacher that the Phoenix Terrace is the foundation of the entire Sword Washing Pool, and finding the Phoenix Terrace is equivalent to finding the hub of the Sword Washing Pool. We must have a way to get out. no?"

Su Manjian nodded, "That's right. Phoenix Terrace is independent of the sword-washing pool. Its appearance will cause the entire sword-washing pool to change, and even the position of the Ten Thousand Honors and Thousand Caves will change, and the spiritual veins will also change. It will be redistributed, and within this, there will be a safe path for us to get out. We just need to wait.”

Shen Mengli nodded and said with a smile: "In this case, we will wait patiently here. Speaking of which, being able to see the appearance of Phoenix Terrace is probably a chance that even our elders may not be able to. If you don't cherish it, It's a no-brainer."

   He sat down, closed his eyes slightly, and everyone sat down to adjust their breath. Although there were only a few dozen days in the Sword Washing Pond, the changes that he had experienced were truly breathtaking and difficult to describe.

   Gu Yan, who had just escaped from the fire pool, seemed to be in even more trouble at this time.

She rushed out of the fire pool and landed under the Phoenix Stage, and the passage behind her was closed, blocking out the flames that filled the sky, and all the stars above her head disappeared. In front of her, only This high platform seems to stand here forever.

This high platform has steps on all sides. The direction Gu Yan is in seems to be the front of the Phoenix Terrace. In front of her, layers of golden steps continue to extend up. The top seems to be so high that it can go straight into the sky. Yan was not in a hurry to go up. Instead, she took a few steps back and carefully looked at the high platform in front of her.

What surprised her was that this high platform did not seem to be made of stone, but was entirely made of a metal similar to brass, giving off a pale golden luster. You can see people clearly.

  There are countless patterns engraved around the high platform, like murals, but they are a little hazy and can't be seen. Gu Yan looked around, and only felt that the stars, mountains, rivers and beasts were all here, as if this high platform could cover the vast world.

   At the highest point of the entire Phoenix Terrace, there was an extremely huge sculpture, which surprised Gu Yan.

  The sculpture is a golden giant bird, with golden feathers all over its body, with its wings spread out, a pair of eyes are squinting at the distance, with a look of the world, invincible. Isn't this the golden giant bird that Gu Yan saw under the great hall in the Arctic Icefield when he built the foundation?

   This is the third time she has seen this statue, except for the one in the extreme north ice field, under the underground palace in Meridian Valley, that extremely mysterious place, she has also seen it once. She always vaguely felt that the meaning of this statue seemed unusual, and that there might be some ancient mystery hidden in it.

The Arctic Icefield, Meridian Valley, Xijian Pond, these three places that seem to be unrelated, all have the presence of this statue, Gu Yan frowned slightly, and she asked, "Fengzi, look at that statue. , do you have any impression?"

Ning Fengzi jumped out of the chaotic space curiously at this time, she didn't bring Zhu Yanjing, she jumped on the ground by herself, and said, "It's much more comfortable here than outside, it seems that the spiritual energy is not so strong. , but it just makes people feel so comfortable.”

  Gu Yan's heart moved, and he said, "Is it somewhat similar to the aura you once had in the ancient times?"

  Ning Fengzi tilted his head and thought for a while, "What you said seems to make sense, but it's still different. Well, I don't know what the difference is."

   She raised her head, looked at the statue on the top of the high platform, and said with understanding, "I seem to have seen this statue."

  Gu Yan's spirit was lifted, she grabbed Ning Fengzi's arm and asked, "Think about it, where have you seen it?"

Ning Fengzi pouted in dissatisfaction, "Hey, take it easy. I haven't seen the real thing, but it seems to be in a book. My master likes to read books. She has collected a lot of ancient books, many They are all recorded from the illusory legends from ancient times, it seems that I have seen the prototype of this statue in a catalogue." She thought for a while, then shook her head again, "But I can't remember, Perhaps this is a divine beast that originated in ancient times. It was used by later monks as a totem for worship."

  Gu Yan shook his head, it shouldn't be as simple as Ning Fengzi said. Although it is said that from the time of ancient times, when the chaos began, the demons fought, and then the two worlds were divided, there have been countless changes, but after all, the world of immortality has its own inheritance. Beast as a totem of worship? Even if this is really an ancient beast, it doesn't matter. This statue does not look like it was carved by later generations. It seems that it has experienced countless winds and frosts and has survived to this day.

She looked up and seemed to hear the whimpering sounds coming from the surrounding area. There was a very old and desolate voice, singing slowly, "I have seen the Jinling Jade Palace sing at dawn, and the Qinhuai water pavilions are blooming. Early, who knows, it's easy to freeze..."

Along with this sound, there was a lingering sound of the piano, and I don't know what musical instrument was used to play it. It sounded extremely desolate. Gu Yan's heart surged.

   At this moment, Gu Yan's heart seemed to have a feeling that she was born with something to lose, and what she had been searching for all her life was nothing more than that. It's just in front of you, but out of reach.

The voice resounded leisurely: "That Wuyi Lane is not surnamed Wang; Mochou Lake, Ghost Night Cry, Phoenix Terrace, Perched Birds... The dream of the crumbling mountains is the most real, the old world is hard to lose, don't believe this, the map will be changed. …”

  Gu Yan suddenly woke up, and as far as her eyes could reach, the scene between heaven and earth suddenly changed. She didn't know when, she had fallen into the illusion of this place.

After Gu Yan cultivated into the Illusory Sword Spirit Flag, in the world, apart from Nascent Soul cultivator, few people could trap her with an illusion formation. She broke out. But after coming to the Phoenix Stage, her state of mind seemed to be restrained everywhere, and she fell into an illusion without knowing it.

   And the illusion in front of him seems to be both real and illusion, and it is impossible to distinguish between reality and reality.

In front of her eyes, the Phoenix Terrace suddenly became extremely dilapidated, with broken arms and stumps everywhere in the ground, and countless swords and spears scattered all over the floor, as if it had just experienced an extremely fierce battle, with countless casualties. A dead aura of death instantly enveloped her body.

Gu Yan clearly knew that she was in an illusion, but she was unable to arouse her spiritual energy, she couldn't even move a little finger, but her mind was very clear. She only saw the statue on the top of the Phoenix Terrace. It has also become extremely dilapidated, it seems that it has completely lost its vitality, and it will collapse at some point. An extremely strange feeling was constantly impacting her sea of ​​consciousness.

   In her sea of ​​consciousness, there were like thousands of insects and ants, biting non-stop, that feeling made people want to vomit blood, and a strong depression was suppressed in her body.

  Suddenly, like a flash of Dou Li in the air, a silver light suddenly lit up, Gu Yan only felt that the eyes were clear, she suddenly raised her head and let out a long howl.

A clear whistle, excitable and clear, the sound spread all over the world, the statue instantly became golden light, and the shadow of a golden giant bird appeared in the air, looking around, with an imposing manner, in the air, countless silver lights, such as Thousands of layers of waves came. Sweeping away all that kind of broken scene, then a boundless murderous aura suddenly surged.

Gu Yan's whole body suddenly froze, and what she saw in the air seemed to coincide with what she saw when she was on the white sand beach, the thousand layers of sword intent left by the ancestor of the Tibetan Sword. After looking around, he raised his wings, flew towards the sky, and plunged into the vast starry sky, disappearing. On the high platform, only the imposing statue was left.

   Under the boundless sword intent, Ning Fengzi screamed: "Run, you are going to die!"

Her small body quickly plunged into the chaotic space. On the high platform, there seemed to be countless shadows of monsters rushing out, like smoke and fog, but like substance, rushing towards Gu Yan. .

Among them, Gu Yan saw many familiar shadows, all of which had appeared in the Ten Thousand Honors and Thousand Caves, and many of them were unfamiliar and had never been seen before. In the entire Sword Washing Pool, the source of those inexplicable monsters?

At this time, the sword energy with boundless killing intent on the top of the head was overwhelming, Gu Yan let out a low voice, five huge flag gates have been raised from the ground, and eight silver lights rushed out from the ground, towards the top of the head. The sword energy from above greeted him. Before this strange Phoenix Stage, Gu Yan seemed to feel that the power of his Illusory Sword Spirit Flag had increased a bit. The eight Xuantian swords met the thousand heavy sword intent above their heads, and the sword energy was as thick as snow, but they were separated from Gu Yan's head and could not fall. At this time, she swiped the spiritual art with her left hand, and the Jiuyi Cauldron had appeared in her palm. The spiritual bird on the cover of the cauldron vibrated its wings and soared. From the cauldron's mouth, the primordial energy of chaos was already gushing out, and countless monsters were beasts. Shadows rushed out and met the thousands of monsters in front of them. Immediately, an extremely chaotic battle started!

Although the pressure on her head was huge, Gu Yan felt very happy in her heart. After she came to Phoenix Terrace, it was like returning to a very familiar place. Here, she could do whatever she wanted and be free. The thousand layers of sword intent left behind could not hold her down. The countless monsters that rushed down from the Phoenix Stage, after encountering the monsters in the Jiuyi Cauldron, annihilated each other one after another, and the rest were sucked into the Cauldron by the Primordial Qi of Chaos.

   On the inner wall of the Jiuyi Ding, the heavy murals began to become clearer and clearer as the number of inhaled monsters continued to increase. And the spirit bird stood on the top of the tripod cover, looking forward to the flying of the gods, with a mighty appearance.
