True Immortal of the Netherworld

Inside Shenglong Road.

Xu Yang stepped onto the stone steps and was about to climb up.

At this time, Lan Xingjun's voice came to his ears:

"Mr. Xu Yang, I don't know how you used the Haoran Holy Technique, and my previous injuries can only be cured by the Haoran Holy Technique. This supreme method was created by Immortal Master Lu Qingyun, and as his disciple, I I have only learned a little bit. I think you must have a connection with Immortal Master Lu Qingyun. This is one of the reasons why I took the initiative to open the door to you and invite you to embark on the Ascending Dragon Path. In addition, there are several checkpoints along the Ascending Dragon Path. You only need to use the Holy Art of Haoran to pass smoothly."

Xu Yang nodded and responded via voice transmission: "Thank you!"

Sure enough, not long after, Xu Yang encountered the first level.

On a tall stone archway, there are three words "Shishi Gate" engraved on it.

There are eighteen stone lions carved on the archway, some squatting, some jumping, some sitting...with different shapes and fierce faces.

When Xu Yang stepped into the gate under the archway, the restriction was triggered, the space fluctuated, and the scene in front of him changed drastically.

The 18-foot-large stone lion came to life.

These beasts include those whose manes curl into sandstorms, those that spit water waves from their mouths, those that breathe fire from their nostrils, and those whose eyes beam with electricity. They surround Xu Yang in the middle.

Xu Yang detected his consciousness:

"Every lion here has a powerful demon spirit sealed on its body, and then it is refined with the Confucian method to become the eye of the formation. These guys are not afraid of the enemy, and they have the energy of the formation. With the blessing of immortality, it may take some means to eliminate them all, so why not try the Haoran Holy Technique first."

Thinking of this, Xu Yang had a thought in his mind, and Haoran's Holy Secret was at his fingertips.

He used his finger as a pen to quickly sketch in the void in front of him.

Jinyang, mountains and rivers, the earth.

An illusory picture is as real as it is, full of beautiful atmosphere.

"Between heaven and earth, there is Haoran's righteousness. The mountains and rivers are always there, and the righteousness never stops..." Xu Yang silently recited the method in Haoran's Holy Secret in his heart.

As he pointed out, the picture of Jinyang Mountains and Rivers suddenly dispersed.

The sky is full of awe-inspiring righteousness, and colorful lights are like rain.

The ferocious beasts transformed from the eighteen stone lions were washed by the colorful light spots, and the violent aura on their bodies dissipated. Each of them lay tamely at Xu Yang's feet.

The formation was broken, the space rotated, and the illusion dispersed.

Xu Yang looked up and saw that the originally closed stone lion gate was completely open, and a road to the sky was right in front of him.

"It seems Lan Xingjun didn't lie to me. This also saved me a lot of time and effort." Xu Yang nodded with satisfaction and strode upwards.

The sky road stretches like a dragon's spine, and the stone steps are paved like dragon scales.

Next, Xu Yang encountered several more obstacles along the way, all of which were easily overcome with Haoran's Holy Technique.

After half a day, Xu Yang passed the last checkpoint, which was a huge dragon gate.

Under the suppression of Haoran's holy art, the green dragon beast guarding the gate was quickly tamed.

Xu Yang's body successfully flew over the dragon gate surrounded by a ball of koi light.

After passing the dragon gate, Xu Yang found himself standing on a huge dragon head carved from bluestone.

The dragon's head takes advantage of the terrain on the top of Mount Tai to reach high into the sky, creating the appearance of the dragon raising its head.

Xu Yang looked around and saw a sea of ​​rolling clouds beneath his feet. The sun shone on the sea of ​​clouds, reflecting brilliant golden light.

Xu Yang took a deep breath, and it seemed that there was a sweet smell in the air, and the fatigue from the previous journey on the Shenglong Road was swept away.

"The spiritual power here has been completely purified by the Shenglong Dao. It is very pure and very useful."

With the beautiful scenery in front of you, you feel refreshed and soaring.

Xu Yang looked up.

In the direction where the dragon head's eyes are looking, there is a huge "dragon ball" hanging high in the sky.

The dragon ball is made of unknown material. It is as smooth as jade and exudes a hazy colorful halo, making the viewer feel admiration and joy.

"Judging from the aura emanating from this dragon ball, it should be a natural mystical realm. Mount Tai is originally one of the boundary mountains of the Zhongyuan Realm. It has gathered the spiritual energy of the Zhongyuan Realm over time. It is reasonable for such a mysterious realm to be born here. "The mysterious realm within the Dragon Ball should be the legendary Ascension Stage."

At this time, Xu Yang heard a ghostly voice:

"Xu Yang, the curse seal we are looking for is in the alien space inside the dragon ball. My body of the dark dragon can detect any negative emotions, and it must be hidden inside. No one can imagine that this The Dragon Ball, as the Immortal Platform, was originally a treasured place for gods to pray for blessings, but there was actually a huge amount of filth hidden within it.”

Xu Yang nodded and said: "The journey through the Shenglong Road was smooth. I hope the next trip to the Shengxian Platform will be as smooth."

Xu Yang was seen tapping his toes, and the soles of his feet were supported by the shadow of green fairy branches.

He felt like stepping on a ladder to heaven, and in a few steps he came to the huge "dragon ball" hanging high in the sky.

He stretched out a finger, and a ball of colorful light and shadow came out from the fingertip, followed by the awe-inspiring power.

The huge dragon ball trembled slightly under the urging of the awe-inspiring power, spitting out a colorful halo to wrap Xu Yang's body, and then pulled Xu Yang into the dragon ball together.

The dragon head, the dragon beads, the sea of ​​clouds, the golden light, everything around returned to its quiet state before, as if no one had ever been here.

A burst of colorful light spots quickly passed through Xu Yang's sight.

When Xu Yang saw the scenery in front of him clearly, he found that he was standing in a wide square.

On the ground of the square, there are many patterns of true dragons ascending and some ancient runes engraved.

A tall gray stone monument is not far away opposite Xu Yang.

Xu Yang walked over and saw the inscription on the stone tablet clearly.

The inscription records the names of several immortals who ascended here.

The first few ascended people were so long ago that Xu Yang had never heard of them. The name of the last person was not written completely. The character "Lu Qing" was very clear, but the character "Yun" was missing the lower half.

"Huh?" Xu Yang couldn't help but wonder when he saw this, "Immortal Master Lu Qingyun indeed ascended here, but why is half the word "cloud" missing from his name? Logically speaking, this stone tablet is a spiritual stone of heaven and earth, and it will automatically The one who senses and records the name of the ascended person.”

Xu Yang looked around with confusion.

"what is that?"

At the other end of the square, a lonely stone statue attracted Xu Yang's attention.

Xu Yang came to the stone statue.

The stone statue looks like a man, half a head taller than Xu Yang.

When Xu Yang saw the face of the stone statue clearly, his heart couldn't help but thump.

"The facial features of this stone statue are very similar to the stone statue of Lu Qingyun I saw at Yudao Gate, except that the facial features are slightly distorted, showing a fierce appearance."

Xu Yang looked at the stone statue opposite, then circled it twice, not even missing the details of the stone statue's clothes corners and heels.

"The clothing of this stone statue is not Confucian, or even a common style in the Zhongyuan world. Looking at the collar worn on its chest, the inscription on it is an obscure foreign language. So, this stone statue should not be Lu Qingyun. So, Who could he be?"

Xu Yang simply stretched out a hand to touch the stone statue. The stone statue was cold and there was no spiritual energy fluctuation.

Xu Yang shook his head slightly and said to himself: M...

"This stone statue is really weird. The wrinkles at the corners of the eyes are so detailed and lifelike, yet lifeless."

Xu Yang looked at the stone statue in a daze. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he remembered something:

"I've seen this type of stone statue before. It's in the Ten Palaces of the Underworld in the Eternal Life Mountain. The nine Plutos including Metal Pluto, Wood Pluto, and Water Pluto eventually turned into stone statues."

Xu Yang quickly sent a message: "Netherworld, use your power to see what is going on with this stone statue? Is there someone who is as good at using the black hole law as you and turned this person into a stone statue?"

The ghostly voice responded: "Xu Yang, just let go of your five senses. What you see is what I see, but the pictures I see are all black and white. This stone statue looks a little weird to me. If you put your finger again Go up and wait until I release the power of the Dark Dragon to investigate."

Xu Yang followed You Ming's instructions and gently tapped one of the arms of the stone statue with the index finger of his right hand.

Nether's consciousness activated the power of the Nether Dragon, and the clothes on Xu Yang's right arm turned into a dark color.

A stream of black energy rolled out along the arm, turning into the shape of a black dragon, sticking to the wrist and fingers, and soon fell on the stone statue.

The black dragon crawled around the surface of the stone statue, leaving no blind spots.

"Okay." Following Netherworld's voice, the black dragon's appearance turned into rolling black air and dispersed on its own.

Xu Yang asked: "Is there any result?"

You Ming said: "This stone statue is indeed a stone statue, but the emotions inside it are beyond the depth of my Nether Dragon power. This is strange. My Nether Dragon power can sense the negative emotions of all things in the world. Even if it is a A pebble, if it complains about the moisture on the ground, I can detect it."

Xu Yang thought for a while and said: "Even you can't detect the negative emotions on this stone statue. Can you say that this stone statue has no negative emotions at all. It stands in such a precious place every day and is blessed by the blessings of the Immortal Platform. , I must be extremely happy.”

You Ming said: "There are only two results from this situation. One is that, as you just said, this stone statue has no negative emotions and looks like a blank piece of paper. The other is that the negative emotions of this stone statue are extremely powerful and exceed what I can The limit of endurance is beyond my ability to detect.”

Xu Yang frowned and said: "I hope it's the first type. If it's the second type, I can't even imagine the negative emotions that scare you. Isn't the curse seal hidden in this stone statue?"

Nether's voice paused for a while, and then replied: "I'm sure the curse seal is not inside the stone statue. Although the negative emotions on the curse seal are powerful, they are hidden and will only be released intermittently. Otherwise, I wouldn't have used them. It took a hundred years to determine that the curse was sealed in the Zhongyuan Realm.”

Hearing this, Xu Yang nodded slightly and said, "Then let us find the curse seal as soon as possible."

You Ming said: "It's also strange. When we entered the different space where the Immortal Ascension Platform is located, the negative emotions from the curse seal that I sensed before suddenly disappeared."

Xu Yang said: "If it is the same as what you explained before, the curse seal emits negative emotions intermittently. Then the next time you sense it will not happen in a few years, right?"

You Ming said: "That's the truth. However, according to the trend in recent years, the curse seal emits negative emotions more and more frequently, and the intervals are getting shorter and shorter. This place doesn't count anyway. It’s big, so look carefully.”

Next, Xu Yang searched every corner of the square, but found no trace of the curse seal at all.

Xu Yang had no choice but to come to the stone statue again. He wiped the dust on the sleeves of the stone statue with his hand and asked: "Brother of the stone statue, have you been standing here for many years? Where do you think the curse seal is hidden?" "

The stone statue was silent.
