In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

A very simple stone hall, with an area of ​​50 to 60 feet, and a height of about 7 to 8 feet. In addition to a teleportation array in the middle, there are huge bluestone gates several feet high on each side.

At this time, all the doors were closed tightly, sealing the place into a large prison cell.

There are also a large number of stone tables and benches of various types and shapes in the stone hall, dozens of them.

On these stone benches, five or six monks with different expressions were sitting sparsely.

Patriarch Jiyin, the old man in Confucian robes, and Wan Tianming were all present. The other monks were all in the late stages of pill formation, and there was not a single weak monk.

But at this moment, everyone's face was gloomy, and no one was interested in saying anything.

The stone palace was filled with an extremely depressing atmosphere, and the Ice and Fire Dao had undergone abnormal changes. The monks in the late stage of Lian Dan had to suffer a lot before they could escape. As for the monks who are weaker in cultivation, the chances are worse.

Especially the Jiyin Patriarch, because the interests involved are the greatest. One is Han Li, and the other is his son Wudong, who has also not come out yet.

In this weird atmosphere, time passed little by little.

Man Beard, Tian Wuzi, Old Farmer, Xuan Gu, etc. all teleported to the stone hall one after another.

These people either looked unhappy or gritted their teeth. Apparently, they were all mentally cursing the people of Star Palace for this sudden change.

At this time, it was only half a day before the Ice and Fire Road was closed. Seeing that Han Li and Wu Dong hadn't appeared yet, Ji Yin's expression turned ugly. He had already deduced that Wudong must have gone after Lu Yuan, but he didn't know whether he entered the Xuanjing Road or the Lava Road.

To kill Lu Yuan, Jiyin was confident in Wudong and thought it would not be difficult. Whether the key is to get out of the ice and fire path is hard to say.

Thinking of this, Ji Yin couldn't help but look at the old man and Man Beard in depression.

The old man in Confucian robes was looking at the teleportation array, his expression gloomy and uncertain, as if he was thinking about something.

The bearded man looked up at the roof of the palace, his chin moved slightly, and he was mumbling something, obviously having his own thoughts.

Seeing this, Ji Yin became even more angry.

Just when everyone in the stone palace was in a state of mind and had their own evil intentions. The two white-clothed elders from Star Palace actually appeared in the teleportation formation at this time.

Suddenly, all kinds of evil-looking eyes were fixed on the two of them at the same time.

"Ahem! The fellow Taoists who entered earlier triggered some powerful restrictions when they passed through the Ice and Fire Road, causing great changes in the canyon. The two of us have tried our best, but unfortunately we still haven't found a way to lift it. I'm afraid we have to repair it this time The immortal world has lost a lot of comrades, right? The two of us have failed in our duties this time. After this visit to the Xutian Palace, we must go back to the two holy masters to apologize and face the wall for more than a hundred years to atone for our responsibilities." The kind-hearted man with kind eyes The elder in white clothes ignored the cold gazes of everyone, looked around, and then said with a sigh, as if he was really heartbroken!

After hearing this, everyone from the good and evil paths immediately cursed this person for being shameless, and everyone looked at the two of them coldly. Man Beard, Wan Tianming and other old monsters in the Nascent Soul stage stared at them fiercely, especially the Jiyin Patriarch, whose canthus was splitting and his eyeballs almost popped out.

"Fellow Taoists, it seems that you don't believe what we are saying. It doesn't matter, just see for yourself!" After the two elders in white looked at each other, the cold-faced elder suddenly threw out a jade slip, followed by a spiritual light.

The jade slip cracked, revealing what was clearly a lava road.

In the picture, a short and thick young man was floating in the air, controlling the lava river, turning into flaming beasts and running back and forth.

"He actually controls the restrictions on the lava road!" Manbeard narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

"Everyone I see in this person is either a person of my righteous way, or a leader of some unknown force!" Wan Tianming looked at the two elders of Xinggong again with the same unkind eyes, saying that in this Xutian Palace, anyone can do anything Yes, only people from Xinggong.

"Don't get me wrong, he is not from my star palace, but based on my observations, he seems to be an array master." The kind-hearted elder in white said calmly.

"Since he is not a person from Xing Gong and the righteous way, and he caused such a big trouble, even if he comes out, there is no need to live!" Ji Yin gritted his teeth and said bitterly, showing with practical actions that Zhang Tie was not a person from the evil way.

Seeing that they successfully threw the pot away, the two elders in white looked at each other and smiled, then found a corner to sit down, closed their eyes and rested.

Time passed minute by minute, and when the last bit of time was about to pass, white light flashed in the teleportation array, and two figures appeared again, it was the beautiful woman Han Li and Yuan Yao.

However, Yuan Yao returned to his black robe at this time, looking indistinguishable from male to female. Behind Han Li, there was also a rolled-up golden pennant.

Patriarch Jiyin called Han Li over and briefly asked about the situation when he crossed the lava road and whether he saw Wudong.

Naturally, Han Li would not elaborate. He just said a few vague words and got over it.

Barbarian Beard maintained his identity and just looked at him with cold eyes and did not take the initiative to ask a question. But when his eyes glanced at the golden pennant behind Han Li, a meaningful look flashed across his eyes.

Patriarch Jiyin wanted to ask more questions, but the teleportation array in the middle of the stone hall shook and suddenly disappeared.

When Ji Yin saw this, he stood up immediately, with an angry breath filling his whole body. The teleportation array disappears, which means that everyone who has not come out has died inside. Wudong's ending can be imagined.

Han Li was the closest, and was a little out of breath under the aura of the Jiyin Patriarch. At the same time, the triangular golden flag behind him also emitted a trace of golden light and became unstable.

"Jiyin, everyone has his own life, so save your energy. My junior is trapped inside for some unknown reason." Manbeard said coldly, and then he called Han Li to his side and blocked Jiyin for him. momentum.

"Alas, my deepest condolences, my friend, but it seems that the little guy who caused the trouble didn't come out either, so he must have suffered the consequences." The kind-hearted elder of the Star Palace said at the right time.

Patriarch Jiyin wanted to say something else, but suddenly the stone gates on the four walls automatically rose with a roar. Deep bluestone passages are exposed.

"Three of these four passages lead to an attic respectively. The things in each attic are different. They are "ancient treasures", "elixirs", "gong techniques" and other things left by ancient monks."

"But everything is sealed with restrictions. Anyone has only one chance to take something. Once he gets it, he will be immediately transported to the next level of "Excellent Illusion". As for the last passage, it is directly through The road to the next level. Anyone who walks in can only admit that they are unlucky and have come here in vain. The restrictions here are a bit strange, and the places that the passages lead to are not fixed. As long as people enter one, they cannot I exited the same way. If you are a fellow Taoist who doesn’t want to enter the wonderful illusion, as long as you don’t think about going to these attics to get treasures. After staying in this stone hall for a while, you can automatically pass out of the Xutian Palace. I hope all fellow Taoists Just take care of yourself!" When the kind-faced elder in white saw the passage appeared, he didn't stand up. He just sat cross-legged and explained slowly.

But this time the others listened and just looked at him coldly, and no one paid any attention to him anymore.

When the Star Palace elder saw this, he looked as usual and didn't care at all. He smiled slightly and closed his eyes again.

Since the monks here, obviously no one is willing to take this risk in vain and return empty-handed. Therefore, not long after this person spoke, someone immediately strode towards one of the bluestone passages without saying a word.

After witnessing Wan Tianming and others walking into the passage one by one, Ji Yin and other demonic old monsters looked at each other coldly and did not rush in.

Because they were worried that Han Li might be secretly killed by the two old guys from Xing Gong, Ji Yin and the other three gave him a treasure each.

Then, after forcing Han Li to walk into one passage first, he looked at each other and chose the other three passages and stepped in. But just after Ji Yin and layman Qing Yi disappeared from the passage, there was a sudden roar in the passage where Man Beard was.

Then there was a flash of golden light, and Barbarian Beard forced himself out of the passage. Then he looked at the two old guys from Star Palace coldly, then turned around and walked into the passage that Han Li had chosen previously.

"Manbeard's strength is so terrifying that he can even break the restrictions of the most wonderful illusions!" When there were only two old men in white left in the stone palace, the cold-faced old man with expressionless eyes and closed eyes said in a cold voice. Said slowly.

"Well, his move may be a warning to us not to pay any attention to that boy who is in the early stage of pill formation." The kind-hearted elder in white frowned and said in agreement.

"Hmph, they are just here for the Xutian Cauldron, so let's go into the inner hall first and wait for them!"

......

On a spiraling bluestone staircase, Han Li was walking uphill step by step.

Suddenly, there was a roaring sound behind him, and when Han Li turned his head, he saw a dazzling golden light coming to the steps instantly.

"Senior Man, didn't you go to another passage?" Han Li was shocked and asked anxiously.

"Come out." Manbeard sneered at Han Li.

When Han Li heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he didn't wait to say anything. The golden formation flag behind him flew up automatically, rising to a height of several feet, and then two balls of golden light flew out from it. It turned out to be Lu Yuan and Zhang Tie.

"Thank you Master Barbarian for your help earlier!" Lu Yuan thanked him sincerely, and Zhang Tie also bowed and saluted beside him.

"I didn't expect that this formation of flag gold has magical powers in space!" Manbeard stared at the Western Ruijin flag floating in the air and chuckled.

Fortunately, he only took a few glances and realized that the formation flag was used as an auxiliary formation, so he lost interest. After glancing at Zhang Tie a few times, his eyes finally fell on Lu Yuan.

"Did you kill Wudong?"

"Master Barbarian's guess is correct."

"Sure enough, I read it right. Are you interested in becoming my direct disciple?" Man Beard stared at Lu Yuan and said with some fun.

"Does Master Barbarian want to teach me the complete Demonic Technique of Entrusting Heaven?" Lu Yuan was happy, but he did not directly agree.

"That's a nice thought. Even if you really become my disciple, it won't be that easy." Manbeard's face was straight.

"Well, when I was traveling in the outer star sea in my early years, I once heard that in a certain sea area, there was an 'immortality grass' that was thousands of years old. Now that the Xutian Palace is over, I would like to go look for it for Master Barbarian." Lu Yuan threw out a temptation, Barbarian Beard's longevity is approaching, and ordinary longevity elixirs have lost their effect.

That's why he came to Xutian Palace to search for the back yard and the legendary Sky-Building Pill, hoping to extend his life.

And the thousands-year-old 'Immortality Grass' is enough for a mid-Nascent Soul monk like Man Beard to live for several decades longer.

"The 'immortality grass' that is thousands of years old!"

"Is the news reliable?" Sure enough, Manbeard's eyes flashed with thought.

"This is just a rumor. The specific authenticity needs to be confirmed."

"If you can find this medicine, I will teach you the complete Demonic Technique of Entrusting Heaven!" Man Beard said to Lu Yuan, and then took out a jade slip and handed it to Lu Yuan.

"Put this thing away. Something may happen in the Chaotic Star Sea in the future, and it will not be so easy to travel between the Inner Star Sea and the Outer Star Sea."

"What are you going to do next? Are you going to continue hiding in this formation flag?" Manbeard asked, and then glanced at Han Li intentionally or unintentionally.

"Well, I want to get out of the wonderful illusion as soon as possible, then find a place to hide, and wait for a month to be teleported out." Lu Yuan naturally understood what Man Beard meant, and he didn't want to continue to get involved with Han Li.

"Then I'll help you." Manbeard said, his aura suddenly rose to the extreme, and his whole body became much taller. The powerful spiritual pressure pressed Lu Yuan and the three of them firmly on the bluestone steps, and their limbs were like There is nothing that can't move even if it falls a thousand pounds.

"Hey!" Manbeard punched the void. After a while, the space was distorted, and a passage appeared.

"Go in!" Man Beard swept him and Zhang Tie in regardless of whether Lu Yuantong agreed or not.

......

There is a four-cornered pavilion floating in the middle of the space. This building is more than thirty feet high and divided into two floors. It is made of beautiful jade and shines in the void, just like a Qiongtai fairy palace.

And above the entrance of the pavilion, there is a large golden plaque about ten feet long, with three large ancient characters written on it - "Sutra Collection Tower".

"Man Beard actually sent us here." Lu Yuan clicked his tongue and walked in with Zhang Tie.

In the attic, there are rows of round jade platforms that are about ten feet high. These jade platforms are of different sizes and made of white crystal jade. They are densely distributed in front of the two people.

There was light flashing on the stone platform, and semicircular light masks of different colors were placed upside down on the table. There seems to be something inside.

"Presumably there must be some skills inside." Zhang Tie guessed.

"Well, time is tight, just find one to break open, and then teleport out quickly." Lu Yuan said, directly picking a light mask, directly releasing the Wanren Pan, and blasting it down.

......

A few hours later, in front of a huge building like a tall tower, black-robed Yuan Yao sat cross-legged alone in front of the tower motionless. There was no one else but her.

This tower is as tall as a cloud and huge, and its entire body is built with blue boulders. The whole body was enveloped by a pale white light curtain. Yuan Yao, who looked like an ant in front of the tower, was sitting in front of the light curtain with her eyes lowered and her eyebrows lowered, and she was concentrating. Next to her, there was a white teleportation array quietly built there.

Suddenly, a white light lit up in the magic circle, and two figures suddenly appeared.

"I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Yuan would be so fast. He would have been waiting here for a long time." Lu Yuan walked out of the teleportation array and chuckled.

"Hmph, it's not all because of you that you asked me to pick the weakest restriction to break, and in the end I got a bottle of useless elixir." Yuan Yao said angrily.

"Don't be angry, fellow Taoist. At worst, how about we let you choose two of the treasures you will find later?"

"It's like a human saying."
