Dominating the Otherworld Starting with a Snake

This stone statue is not only majestic, but also reveals an indescribable solemnity and majesty, which makes people feel awe in an instant.

The image of the Venerable is carved lifelike, his handsome and extraordinary face is like a knife and an axe, and every line reveals endless wisdom.

His eyes were as deep as the stars, as if staring at the changes in all things in the world, and seemed to encompass the boundless universe.

The bridge of his nose was as straight as a peak, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling, telling stories of thousands of years of vicissitudes.

The Venerable wears a complex and gorgeous armor, with the image of the Xuanwu mythical beast meticulously engraved on it. The basalt pattern is lifelike, with a dragon's head, a turtle's body, and a snake's tail. The texture of the scales is clearly visible, and it looks like a living creature with a mysterious luster.

Every blade of the armor is polished as smooth as a mirror, reflecting a faint but persevering light, indicating the countless fires of war and years of training that the Venerable has experienced.

At the foot of this stone statue is a ground carefully paved with hard rock, on which ancient runes are engraved, as if whispering the glorious deeds of Lord Xuanwu in the past.

kindness? Luo Zhen's eyes seemed to have caught something strange at this moment. His eyes were like a hawk locking its prey, tightly fixed on the solemn and majestic face of Lord Xuanwu, focusing on the center of the other person's eyebrows.

There seemed to be an extremely subtle change.

Between Venerable Xuanwu's brows, an almost imperceptible tiny crack suddenly appeared, like a thousand-year-old jade showing its flaws.

This crack is as narrow as a hair. If it weren't for Luo Zhen's extraordinary eyesight, no one would be able to detect this phenomenon.

To be honest, it is normal for cracks to appear in stone statues that have stood for thousands of years, but for some reason Luo Zhen felt vaguely strange. When he lowered his head to think, when he looked up again, there was a faint black energy lingering around him!

There was faint black energy lingering at the edge of the crack, which was in sharp contrast to the thick and pure aura fluctuations surrounding Venerable Xuanwu, making it particularly dazzling.

The black energy seemed to notice his gaze and disappeared instantly? !

Luo Zhen's heart trembled, and he felt that the black energy was not simple.

The next second, the two opened stone statues of Azure Dragon and Master Xuanwu made a huge rumbling sound.

"Disciples participating in this qualification assessment, now officially begins!"

Along with a voice, a rainbow light erected from around the stone statue, and immediately enveloped Luo Zhen and the others. When the rainbow light shot straight into the sky, Luo Zhen and the others suddenly closed their eyes.

The next second, his consciousness began to enter a strange realm.

The moment Luo Zhen opened his eyes, he realized that his current situation was similar to when he realized the Eye of Nothingness before. His consciousness had come to a spiritual realm.

However, this area was wider, but the moment the sense of deathly silence hit him, his scalp went numb and his body trembled.

"How...how do we get here?"

Luo Zhen looked around at the vast and ethereal plain. How should we go?

At this time, it’s up to the system daddy...

The system boss quickly gave a prompt:

Seek blessings from yourself.

? ? ?

Dad, this is how you treat your biological son... Luo Zhen complained crazily.

…

Outside, the sun is shining.

Li Twelve, who had been practicing in seclusion for many days, rushed to the place of the stone statue after finishing his practice.

When he appeared in Li Miao'er's sight, the latter was staring at the two towering stone statues, full of expectation.

"Brother, you are here!"

When she noticed the change in Li Twelve's aura, she couldn't help showing a look of surprise, and turned to look at him: "Senior brother, you, your aura..."

Li Twelve's gentle and slightly tired smile looked extremely profound under the moonlight. He smiled slightly and explained: "I can't hide it from you. With the help of the twin species, I made a breakthrough in my cultivation and was close to successfully surviving the third immortal." Tribulation is inevitable."

Hearing this, Li Miaoer's face showed a look of joy, and her eyes shone with hope: "So, senior brother will definitely have a better chance of winning this time against Zhao Qinghe!"

However, Li Twelve was not overly optimistic because of her encouragement. There was a hint of bitterness in his smile: "Zhao Qinghe's strength was superior to mine back then. Now four years have passed, her cultivation has... I'm afraid I have already reached a higher level. Although I am expected to pass the third heavenly tribulation before the Guanghan Competition, you also know that there is still a half-step from the earthly fairyland to the heavenly fairyland. Before that, Zhao Qinghe’s status as the number one person in the Earthly Immortal Realm cannot be shaken by anyone.”

When Li Miao'er heard this, her face showed unwillingness, and she muttered: "Senior brother, don't let other people's ambitions destroy your own prestige... That woman is a cultivating monster."

Li Twelve smiled nonchalantly, and then turned the topic to the current situation: "It seems that the two stone statues have been opened, and the participating disciples have entered their respective realms. How is Luo Zhen's situation?"

Li Miaoer gathered her thoughts and replied: "At present, Luo Zhen has not experienced any abnormality."

Li Twelve fell into deep thought and said sincerely: "The world of consciousness in Xuanwu Jue seems ordinary, but in fact it is the most dangerous and unpredictable. I remember when I first entered it, facing that vast and empty world, I didn't know how to find it. The way out..."

Li Miaoer feels the same

He nodded in acceptance and recalled his own experience: "I was the same, walking as if endlessly, until my physical strength was exhausted, and I still couldn't understand the mystery that Venerable Xuanwu wanted to convey. At that time, my heart was filled with unprecedented helplessness. Help and fear, if the sect master hadn’t taken timely action to awaken my consciousness, I’m afraid I would have completely collapsed in the boundless despair.”

"The domain worlds in the other three stone statues of Venerables will give those who comprehend the experience a test, but there is no obvious test in the domain of Venerable Xuanwu." Li Twelve added, "Senior Mu Yuheng is the most powerful among us. She was close to comprehending the Xuanwu Art, but she could only persist in the sky shrouded in black mist for a while. According to the elder, when the black mist came, even senior Mu Yuheng could not withstand its pressure. In the end, the only option was to withdraw.

The secret hidden behind the black mist is still an unsolved mystery. "

…

At this moment, in this vast expanse of nothingness, the skyline is tightly wrapped by a thick and mysterious fog, as if it is a huge curtain between heaven and earth, blocking all the scenes in the distance.

On this vast, desolate and lonely plain, Luo Zhen was alone, his figure looming in the mist, and his pace was aimless.

While walking in loneliness, suddenly, a strange feeling quietly came to his mind, and Luo Zhen was keenly aware of the subtle changes in the surrounding environment.

The originally thick white mist seemed to be eroded by some force in an instant, and began to undergo strange changes from the inside out.

He stopped subconsciously, and at the moment he looked up, he was shocked to find that the originally pure white fog had quietly changed into a deep and disturbing black-red hue!

As thick as blood and as gloomy as night, it soaked the entire world into a terrifying sea of ​​blood mist.
