Chapter 198 Pengxuan Cave Heaven
The heavy snow fluttering in the sky quickly covered the top of the Five Sacred Mountains with a layer of white makeup.
Su Xiaofan was walking alone on the Paradise Street. Snowflakes as big as goose feathers fell behind Su Xiaofan's head, but they seemed to have encountered an invisible shield and fell to both sides.
"When I think about the long distance between heaven and earth, I feel so sad and tearful!"
For some unknown reason, this famous line by Chen Ziang popped up in Su Xiaofan's mind.
Standing on the top of the five mountains, in this snowy night, Su Xiaofan undoubtedly has a feeling that he has not seen the ancients before and the newcomers in the future.
Sitting in a pavilion on the top of the mountain, Su Xiaofan began to perform his exercises, countless auras from the mountain gathered towards him, and Su Xiaofan carefully sensed the place of inheritance.
"Um?"
Su Xiaofan suddenly felt that there was a place where the spiritual energy fluctuation seemed to be stronger, but then it disappeared.
"what happened?"
Su Xiaofan raised his head and looked to the right side of the gazebo. It seemed to be a place to watch the sunrise on the top of the mountain, but it was snowing heavily today, so he didn't know if there would be a sunrise in a few hours.
The climate on the mountain is always fickle. One moment it was snowing heavily, and the next moment the dark clouds may disperse, but now there are still people coming up from the mountain.
"Master? Come out?"
Su Xiaofan noticed that the phone in his pocket vibrated. He didn't like to hear the ringtone very much, and usually set it to vibrate.
"What do you mean? I'm not in the game, but I'm out?"
Jing Shizhen said angrily: "Why do you want me? You are fine and you don't come back to practice. I think that big cat's cultivation is almost surpassing yours."
Recently, Duobao has set off a **** storm in the Qinling restricted area, killing many creatures that are expected to evolve into extraordinary.
This is what Minister Hua meant. Except for Duobao, no extraordinary creatures can appear in the Qinling forbidden area for the time being.
The Qinling restricted area will become a place for high-level cultivators to cultivate and low-level cultivators to gather medicine for trials in the future. The uncontrollable extraordinary creatures are really too harmful.
The restricted area of the Qinling Mountains has a radius of thousands of kilometers. Under the suppression of the Saint-level extraordinary headed by Xiong Wei, many creatures were unable to advance.
But now the mountain above the head has finally disappeared, which has also caused some creatures to evolve quietly.
What Duobao has to do is to kill all the creatures that are expected to become extraordinary. This number is not small. Almost every day in the restricted area, the screams of some animals before dying can be heard.
In addition to clearing tasks, Duobao spends most of his time absorbing spiritual energy in the inner circle.
The current Duobao has grown to more than three meters in length, only one size smaller than the colorful giant tiger before, and his strength has improved by leaps and bounds.
Even a base-builder like Jing Shizhen standing in front of Duobao couldn't help feeling terrified. He knew that he was no longer Duobao's opponent.
"It's still too early for Duobao to advance."
Su Xiaofan shook his head, he was more convinced of his father's words, it is not so easy for an ordinary extraordinary to become a saint-level extraordinary.
Even with the cultivation environment in the inner circle, Duobao estimated that he would have to swallow ten or eight inner pills before he could continue to evolve, and he definitely couldn't compare with his own cultivation speed.
"I have come to the Lord of the Five Sacred Mountains."
Su Xiaofan didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Master, there is no inheritance place in Nantianmen, where is this inheritance place?"
Su Xiaofan took advantage of the snowy night when no one was around, and almost swam around the entire Jade Emperor Peak, but he didn't find the place of inheritance.
There was a little discovery just now, but the fluctuating spiritual energy disappeared in a flash, and Su Xiaofan couldn't track down the specific direction.
"No? Impossible."
Hearing Su Xiaofan's words, Jing Shizhen couldn't help being stunned for a moment, "If you search carefully, maybe the location of the inheritance place has changed from ancient times to the present, and you may not be sure."
"I went to look for it last time, but I was thrown out as soon as I entered, and I didn't see anything."
Jing Shizhen was a little speechless, obviously she sensed the inheritance place last time, it was at the Nantianmen, why did the apprentice go but didn't find it, could it be the reason why her cultivation base was too low at that time?
"Okay, I'll look again."
Su Xiaofan shook his head, knowing that he didn't want to get any information from Master. Last time, Master went in in a daze, and then came out in a daze. It is said that it didn't take a second before and after, so it would be strange to find out.
When Su Xiaofan made a phone call, the heavy snow falling all over the sky slowly stopped.
A gust of wind blew by, and the dark clouds in the sky suddenly dissipated, revealing a few stars behind the snow.
"It's really cloudy and cloudy." Su Xiaofan shook his head, got up and left the pavilion, and continued to search on the top of the Jade Emperor.
The skills of the inheritance place are related to Su Xiaofan's advancement to the Yang God. Of course, Su Xiaofan can also go to the Sword Sect to obtain the Yang God skills.
But the health-preserving skills practiced by Su Xiaofan have been passed down from the qi training period, it is not a last resort, Su Xiaofan does not want to change the skills.
To Su Xiaofan's disappointment, he searched on Jade Emperor Peak for more than two hours, and even sneaked into the radar station on the top of the mountain, but he didn't find any trace of the inheritance place.
As time went by, there were more and more people on the top of the Five Sacred Mountains.
The guests staying at the mountaintop hotel, as well as the tourists who climbed the mountain overnight, slowly gathered at the place where Yuhuangding watched the sunrise.
When it snowed at night, many people could not see the sunrise, but unexpectedly it cleared up after a few hours of heavy snow.
Su Xiaofan was a little dumbfounded, and didn't know why so many people suddenly appeared on the originally empty and quiet mountain top.
When it was early five o'clock in the morning, the people on the top of the mountain were already crowded. The adults made the children cry, making it look like a farmers' market.
At the place near the sea of clouds on the top of the mountain, in order to avoid accidents to tourists, they were pulled up to the fence to keep people away. Su Xiaofan was standing by the fence right now.
"It's not artistic at all to watch the sunrise."
Su Xiaofan frowned a little, the voices of the tourists on the mountain were really a little uncoordinated.
But just when the ray of morning sun rendered a gorgeous rose red, all the sounds on the mountain top disappeared.
Everyone's eyes were cast in the direction of the sunrise.
At the junction of the day and the earth, a few clouds seemed to be covered with golden makeup. At this time, the air in the sky seemed to be stagnant.
Time has become particularly slow at this moment. Between several pieces of morning glow, the sun that has not yet risen finally leaked a red gap, and the gap gradually became larger, rendering the entire sky dyed in color.
The half of the sun was exposed, as if trying to jump upwards. After the last leap, the Chaoyang finally revealed its full view and rose in the sky.
At this moment, the entire white snow on the top of the mountain seemed to be coated with a layer of gold, and the brilliant light shone on the earth, sweeping away the black night haze.
It seems that spring returns to the earth, the rising sun brings boundless vitality to the world. Standing on the top of this high mountain, everyone feels their insignificance inexplicably.
"I found it, why is it there?"
Just as the sun was rising, Su Xiaofan suddenly sensed a strong qi movement, but the location where the qi appeared made Su Xiaofan scratch his head.
The place where he is now is the place closest to the sea of clouds at the Sun Observation Terrace. If you walk ten meters further, you will find the abyss below.
The place where the energy fluctuations are emitted is in the depths of the sea of clouds, at least a hundred meters away from Su Xiaofan.
"Did the master make a mistake?"
Su Xiaofan was a little speechless, he suspected that the test of this inheritance place was not a person's aptitude, but a person's courage.
Because only by jumping off the Sun Observation Platform, there is a chance to touch the inheritance site. This is not an opportunity, it is clearly a reward for those who commit suicide.
Of course, those who commit suicide will most likely not be able to enter the inheritance site, because the place where the qi fluctuates is not under the Sun Observation Terrace.
Su Xiaofan can't figure it out now, if the inheritance from the outside world is cut off, which ordinary person can still enter this inheritance place?
Looked up at the crowd around, Su Xiaofan didn't go there now.
The distance of one hundred and eighty meters is nothing to him, but he should be careful about the violent wind in the mountains.
The wind was strong on the mountain. When the sun in the sky became dazzling, the crowd gradually dispersed. After waiting for an hour or two, there were only a few people left at the Sun Observation Terrace.
However, this wait made Su Xiaofan see another spectacle that he had never seen before, that is Mount Tai and the sea of clouds.
It may be the reason for the snow yesterday. Under the alternating temperature difference between cold and hot, a lot of fog appeared on the top of the mountain.
At the beginning, the mist was just billowing in the sea of clouds, but gradually it surrounded the Sun Observation Terrace and diffused to the entire mountain.
The mountains in the distance are filled with mist, and the top of the mountain is looming. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking around, Su Xiaofan feels as if he is facing a boundless sea, as if he is in a fairyland on earth.
"The cave heaven and blessed place in ancient times really lived up to its reputation!"
Su Xiaofan sighed in admiration, based on the sight in front of him, who dares to say that this is not the abode of immortals.
As the fog continues to dissipate, it is difficult to see anything within five meters of the Sun Observation Platform at this moment.
Su Xiaofan's mental consciousness locked on the place where the qi appeared, and he jumped off the Sun Observation Platform.
If someone sees Su Xiaofan's actions at this moment, they will definitely think that another person who can't think about it is committing suicide. For the person who has lived on the top of the mountain for a long time, this kind of thing always happens several times a year.
But Su Xiaofan's figure didn't fall down, but as if there were roots under his feet, he instantly spanned a distance of 100 meters and appeared at the place where the energy was fluctuating.
"Huh? Is this the place of inheritance?"
Su Xiaofan suddenly felt a tightness in his body, his feet seemed to be on the ground, and he looked around quickly.
However, where you can see, there is still a vast sea of clouds, and what you step on is not solid ground, but like stepping on clouds.
"Is this a restricted area?"
Su Xiaofan could feel that the space he stepped into was very rich in aura, which was probably not much worse than the inner circle in the restricted area.
Just standing here, the thick and almost substantive zhenqi swarmed towards Su Xiaofan, and the pores all over his body swallowed, continuously absorbing the aura into his body.
What the naked eye can see here is almost all the white sea of clouds, Su Xiaofan simply closed his eyes and released his consciousness.
As soon as the consciousness came out, the scene in front of him became clear immediately.
Su Xiaofan's current spiritual strength can release about five kilometers away, but he found that this space is only about three square kilometers in size.
Such a large space may not be as wide as the area covered by the aura of Shuangmen Village, but in this small space, there are mountains and waters, full of aura.
The mountain is not very big, it is estimated to be more than 100 meters high, but there is a mountain gate at the foot of the mountain. Behind the mountain gate is a building with yellow and green tiles, green beams and vermilion walls and pillars.
"Pengxuan Dongtian?!"
When Su Xiaofan saw clearly the words on the mountain gate, he couldn't help breathing fast, this inheritance place turned out to be Pengxuan Dongtian, which ranked second in the ancient Thirty-Six Cave Heavens!
The thirty-six caves and seventy-two blessed places in ancient times have almost disappeared in modern times.
Su Xiaofan once talked with Master and the others. These paradises should have disappeared with the end of the Dharma Era, but they may still be hidden in some places.
Now that he saw the mountain gate of Pengxuan Dongtian with his own eyes, Su Xiaofan immediately understood.
Cave Heaven and Paradise have always been there, but if there is no chance, it is difficult for the world to find them. Even if they find them, unless it is a practitioner like Su Xiaofan who can fly through the sky, others will not be able to enter.
"Huh? Why is it so dilapidated?"
When Su Xiaofan walked into the mountain gate, his brows immediately frowned. After walking in, he saw that there were dozens of buildings in this area, which had become dilapidated.
I don’t know how many years have passed here. Some buildings collapsed directly, and some were covered with vines, giving people a barren and dilapidated atmosphere.
Su Xiaofan was very puzzled, it seemed that what he was stepping on was not soil, and he didn't know how those plants grew.
"Where is everyone going?"
Although there are plants and rocks, this place gives Su Xiaofan a very barren feeling, as if no human aura existed for thousands of years.
"Hall of Inheritance!"
Su Xiaofan stood before a well-preserved building, because the three seal characters on the plaque above indicated that this was the place he was looking for on this trip.
Su Xiaofan didn't hesitate to stop, just pushed the door and walked in.
The Hall of Inheritance is not very big, only more than 20 square meters in total, and the layout of the hall is also very simple, facing the door of the hall, there is a statue sitting there.
Different from the phantom seen in Lu Zu Cave, Su Xiaofan vaguely felt that the statue was like a living thing, which brought him great pressure, but this pressure was just at the critical point that he could bear.
Below the statue, there is a long table with a book on it.
I don't know what material this book is made of. The buildings outside are decayed, but this book looks intact.
On the ground in front of the long table, there was a futon.
Seeing the futon, Su Xiaofan seemed blessed, and quickly resisted the coercion and walked over, knelt down in front of the futon, and bowed three times to the statue.
It's strange to say that after the worship, the coercion that suppressed Su Xiaofan, who could hardly breathe, disappeared in an instant.
"The patriarch's spirit appeared, with boundless mana..."
Su Xiaofan was afraid that there would be someone like an old monkey hiding in this place who could spy on people's hearts, so he didn't dare to have the slightest dissatisfaction in his heart, and all he thought about was flattering and obedient.
"no response?"
After flattering in his mind for a while, Su Xiaofan realized that he was winking at the blind man, and his efforts were wasted. The statue is like a dead thing at this moment, without any coercion and spirituality.
"Inheritance should be that book." Su Xiaofan stood up and reached for the book on the table.
"Well, what's going on here?"
When Su Xiaofan's finger just touched the book, an invisible force suddenly imprisoned him.
"You don't need to do this, you don't need to imprison me for passing on spiritual knowledge."
Su Xiaofan felt that countless information in the book was transmitted to his mind, which made Su Xiaofan's mental consciousness, which was injured not long ago, faintly feel great pressure.
"It turns out that you have to go to the Yin God Realm to get the inheritance. Is there such a meaning?"
Feeling the huge amount of information in his mind, Su Xiaofan was a little dissatisfied with this spiritual knowledge transmission. He didn't speak smart at all, and he didn't consider whether others could bear it. This was purely cramming education.
What made Su Xiaofan feel even more sad was that he hadn't regained his spiritual consciousness after falling into the Yin God Realm, and his mind felt overwhelmed for a while, but those information and exercises were still being transmitted continuously.
"Don't play, I can't hold it anymore!"
Su Xiaofan held on for quite a while, and finally felt that his eyes were dark, and his whole mind was a little confused.
It seemed that he had sensed Su Xiaofan's state, the book was suddenly radiant, enveloping Su Xiaofan in it, and the next moment, Su Xiaofan who was standing on the desk had disappeared.
"Friend, hello, friend, are you okay, wake up, you can't sleep here, it will be freezing."
In a daze, Su Xiaofan felt someone shaking his body, and his eyes were no longer pitch black, even if he didn't open his eyes, he could still feel the brightness.
"I... what's wrong with me?"
Su Xiaofan opened his eyes, a middle-aged man was calling him concerned, and there were many tourists standing beside him.
"Wake up, it's all right."
"Great, finally woke up."
Seeing Su Xiaofan wake up, the crowd burst into cheers.
"This... this Nantianmen?"
Su Xiaofan looked around and found himself lying in the door opening of Nantianmen.
What about the place of inheritance? What about Pengxuan Dongtian? What about the Hall of Inheritance?
All the scenes he saw just now disappeared. If he could not sense the huge information in his mind, Su Xiaofan would even feel that he was having a dream.
"You have been sleeping here for ten minutes, and I can't wake you up."
The middle-aged uncle handed Su Xiaofan a bottle of water, "Young man, you must do what you can to climb the mountain, don't be brave, what if something happens?"
"Uncle, thank you, I'm fine."
Su Xiaofan smiled wryly, stood up slowly, moved his body, and said, "I'm just too sleepy after watching the sunrise, and I want to get dazed for a while before going down the mountain."
"That can't be confused here, there is a lack of oxygen on the mountain, and accidents are easy to happen."
The middle-aged uncle was quite a nice person. After repeatedly confirming that Su Xiaofan was fine, he left Nantianmen with the crowd.
"I was teleported out?"
Su Xiaofan's eyes turned to the direction of the sea of clouds on the top of the Jade Emperor, but the aura of the inherited place disappeared.
"Master is right. This inheritance site has something to do with Nantianmen."
Looking back at the words Nantianmen, Su Xiaofan felt that the word of mouth inheritance was still unreliable, and actually reversed the entrance and exit of the inheritance place.
But Su Xiaofan still has another idea, that is, people with low cultivation level can sense the inheritance place at Nantianmen, and as for high-level practitioners, they may only be able to enter from the sea of clouds.
There was still a feeling of swelling in his mind, Su Xiaofan didn't check the inheritance right away, but chose to go down the mountain.
Anyway, he got the inheritance, now Su Xiaofan needs to find a quiet place to see what the inheritance has given him.
Besides the exercises, Su Xiaofan seems to have felt some other images, the specific ones can only be known after seeing them.
