Chapter 267: Re-entering the Trial Cave
According to the intelligence of the Three Holy Sects, in the past few days, Nanyan and Dazhou have broken out several small-scale battles, each with its own injuries. Dazhou Sheng has a wide range of soldiers and excellent weapons. Nanyan's army has been running on the grassland for many years, with strong physical strength and physical fitness higher than Dazhou's army. The two sides have opened hundreds of miles. On the front, the number of people participating in the war has exceeded one million.
It seems that both sides have exhausted their troops, but at the same time, they will also lengthen the war, which is not a good thing for the people of Shenzhou.
Dazhou Taizu Pavilion did not intervene in the war, and the Shinto sect and Nanyan's protector did not take action. It seems that the two sides are still in a stalemate.
In addition, there is no news worthy of Shen Chong's attention. Shen Chong no longer stops. He left the Huayue Hall and went straight to the trial cave.
In early autumn, it was suddenly warm and cold, and the fall of the mountain was beginning to show bleakness. This was the third time that Shen Chong came to try the cave. Shen Chong did not escape, but walked along the winding mountain road, not because he was afraid of the law enforcement disciples of the Mingwang Hall, but to enjoy the scenery of the Three Holy Sects.
In early autumn, the leaves were golden, but they had not yet fallen. The glow was shining, coupled with the light of the valley lake, which was indeed beautiful. Shen Chong also had few leisurely time. After reading books in Lanyu Academy for three consecutive days, he also wanted to wake up and reasoned his thoughts.
Outside the trial cave, there are still few people. The disciples guarding the cave are still the two people I met three years ago. At this time, they are closing their eyes and refreshed.
Shen Chong's footsteps sank slightly, and he immediately woke up the two and opened his eyes at the same time.
One of them shouted, "People come to stop and try the cave. Non-inner disciples are not allowed to enter. Show the disciple token quickly."
And the other person seemed to recognize something. He hurriedly grabbed his companion and said respectfully, "Is it Brother Shen?"
"Brother Shen, which brother Shen?" The previous man said strangely, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and his face changed greatly: "Is it Brother Shen from Huayue Hall?"
Shen Chong smiled, walked over and shook the token. Now the token in his hand is no longer the original white jade token, but a token made of purple gold. This kind of token was refined by the elder of the hall and engraved with a large number of arrays. After sacrificing, it was as powerful as the Chinese magic weapon, and it was also sent by Ji Xuan a few days ago. It is equivalent to the identity of each temple owner.
The previous disciple who guarded the cave was shocked and his face turned a little pale. He immediately got up and said, "Brother, don't blame me. I'm so rude. I really deserve to die. I have to go into the cave and practice hard."
Shen Chong didn't care. He nodded and said, "Exactly, are there many people who have entered the cave in the past two days?"
"It's not much, but there are often strange noises in the depths of the trial cave these two days, but after the investigation by the elders of the sect, they didn't find anything. Maybe some strange monsters were born." The disciple said.
Monsters live in groups, and sometimes there are hybrids. It is not surprising that new monsters appear. Shen Chong nodded and said nothing more. The direct disciple did not need to spend merit value to enter the trial cave, but Shen Chong still flashed the token, the cold star flashed, and the 400-point merit value was divided into two torrents, which flowed into the tokens on the two disciples.
Now Shen Chong's body is clean, and all the elixir and magic weapons have been consumed. Originally, he could also take some elixirs and magic weapons from Tianji Pavilion, but in the end he did not do so. Those elixirs and magic weapons are not very useful to him, but they are not easy to handle.
But at this time, Shen Chong couldn't even take out a yellow-level elixir on his body. Fortunately, there were still tens of thousands of merits and virtues in the token, which was exchanged for the vitality stone when he was promoted to the inner disciple. These merits were useless to him, but it was still very popular to reward the inner and outer disciples. .
The two disciples thanked him repeatedly and hurriedly opened the passage of the trial cave. Shen Chong shook his feet and swept in.
A moment later, the two cave-keeper disciples still looked at each other.
"This Brother Shen seems to have come to the trial cave three years ago." A disciple said uncertainly.
"Yes, I remember that this brother was among the several people who entered the cave to test and came out alive. However, at that time, he seemed to be a disciple of the outer door."
"In just three years, he has been promoted from a disciple to a direct disciple, and has become the young master, which is too fast."
"It's really more popular than people. You and I have been disciples of the cave here for five years, and there is no sign of breakthrough at all." The disciple sighed, "It's better to be an elder of the inner door. It's better than being trapped outside this cave."
Shen Chong had entered the depths of the first layer at this time, and he could not hear the complaints of the two disciples.
Along the way, Shen Chong crossed caves and passed through passages one by one. Before many low-grade monsters were aware of it, Shen Chong had already skimmed over, and the monsters close to him were shocked to death just by a trace of breath. As for the demon core, Shen Chong was also lazy to collect.
There is no change in this second layer and memory. There is a map passed down by Ji Changhua in Shen Chong's mind, so naturally there will be no delay.
All the way without stopping, it soon came to the third floor. The monsters in the third floor are all six or seven grades. One or two are nothing, but if the number is large, the siege will also consume a lot of mana.
Shen Chong's footsteps bounce and his body flashes. If you can avoid it, try to avoid it as much as possible. If you can't avoid it, kill it with another sword. The demon cores of level 6 and level 7 monsters cannot be wasted. Each demon core is full of surging power, which can be refined and can be exchanged for some good things in the sect.
Comparing the map and following the memory, Shen Chong came to the huge pit. In those years, there were tens of thousands of monsters with more than six grades buried in this pit, and the demon core was dug out.
Now the flesh and blood of those dead monsters have been eaten by other monsters, leaving only a pile of white bones. There are gusts of yin and wind in the pit, and you can still smell a breath of blood, and the roar of the soul is constantly shouting in your ears.
Shen Chong stopped to look, and then stopped staying. He went straight to the entrance of the fourth floor and took a deep breath. According to Ji Changhua, from the fourth floor, most of the monsters that survived from the fourth level were monsters above the seventh grade, and there were also the existence of demon kings.
If the monster reaches more than seven grades, it can't be called a beast. This kind of existence is equivalent to the strong soul realm among human monks. After experiencing the heavenly disaster, you can take off the beast and turn into a human form. On the land of Shenzhou, it is called the demon king. It is said that in the 100,000 mountains in the south is the paradise of the demon clan. There are countless strong, demon kings. It is also emerging one after another.
There are many demon kings that Shen Chong has seen. On the sea, especially in the Neptune cemetery, there are not a few demon kings. In the seal of Shen Chongtian and earth, there is also a dragon and turtle demon elixir. The energy in the demon elixir is far above the demon core, but it is more difficult to extract and refine, so Shen Chong has kept it until now.
However, although the dragon elephant turtle is powerful, for some reason, it has not turned into a human shape, which may be related to the ancient alien species.
However, in the special environment of the trial cave, no matter how powerful the monster is, it can't go through the disaster of heaven, let alone turn into a human shape. There may be many talents and magical power, but their intelligence is incomplete, and there are few powerful demon kings with more than four turns of the soul.
So as long as you don't fall into a siege or encounter a mutant high-level monster, you can still retreat all over. Otherwise, Shen Chong will not come in to find death.
The space of the fourth floor is similar to that of the third floor. Various passage caves are stacked. If there is no map, it is easy to get lost in it. Although Shen Chong can see things in the dark, he still takes out a string of pearls. With the help of the brilliance of the pearls, the five senses are raised to the highest. Anyway, the monsters here do not rely on vision. Looking for the enemy, you should know that there is a demon king who can pose a threat to him on this level.
Shen Chong restrained his breath and walked forward cautiously. The broken fog clothes had already been sacrificed, surrounded by a faint layer of clouds.
It seems that the elders in the sect searched this layer in detail, and the map instructions are also extremely detailed. He avoided the nest of a demon king, and Shen Chong did not encounter great danger.
In the depths of this layer, there are three huge holes lined up.
"This should be a triple door." Shen Chong said secretly.
It is said that the three founding ancestors of the Three Holy Sects have also been here. They opened three channels with force, and each of them opened up a road. Although all three roads can reach the fifth floor, the dangers are different.
After a little hesitation, Shen Chong walked in through the door on the left.
Boom!
Stepping in, Shen Chong seemed to have broken into another world. There was a whirlwind, and his eyes suddenly lit up. There were stars on it, and there was endless void under his feet. If it hadn't been for the automatic rise of the magic clothes, I was afraid that it would fall down immediately.
In the void, the Milky Way is bright, and several rounds of suns hang in the distant sky like fireballs. Shen Chong is already in the sea of stars. Shen Chong is not too surprised by the scene in front of him.
In the map given to Ji Changhua, it was indicated that this triple door leads to three worlds. These three worlds are the star world, the earth and fire world, and the virtual world. And all three worlds eventually lead to one place, which is the fifth floor of the trial cave.
Shen Chong entered the starry world, and it was also the world that Ji Changhua had come to many years ago. In the map handed down by Ji Changhua, the world is also described in the most detail, but only when he is really in this world can he feel the vastness of the starry sky.
Looking back, the passage when I came was gone. The whole world was silent and there was no breath of life. Everything was true and true, which made people unable to distinguish between true and false. Suddenly, a terrible emotion rose in Shen Chong's heart. He calmed down a little. Shen Chong followed Ji Changhua's memory and flew forward.
Planets passed by one by one. In a trance, Shen Chong did not know whether the planet had shrunk or his body had increased. It seemed that he could lift his hand to take off the stars and wander under the starry sky, quiet, but he could not feel the dangerous atmosphere all the time.
Shen Chong frowned slightly. It seemed that he had seen this situation somewhere. Suddenly, there was a flash in his mind. He remembered that in his mother's former residence, he got the Jiuzhou picture scroll and entered the fantasy of Genesis. At that time, the scene was very similar to now. The sea of stars was vast, and everything changed ten. The division is small, and the world is desolate and inanimate. In this starry sky, you can pinch the stars with your backhand, as if you have mastered the power to reopen the world.
Suddenly, a huge stone tablet was reflected in Shen Chong's eyes. The stone tablet was covered with hundreds of stars and was carried by a huge stone elephant. The font on the tablet was very vicissitudes, but it was still sharp and powerful. Although he could not understand the ancient text above, a magnificent force rushed straight to Shen Chong's mind and gathered into eight. Big words.
"The trials of the gods, the number of three stacks!"
The artistic conception of these eight big words is as sharp as a blade, and the thorny Shen Chong's mind is a little painful. The trial place of the gods, no wonder this place is called the trial cave. The triassic must be these three virtual worlds.
This starry sky seems to be vast, but Shen Chong knows that everything here is transformed, and there is something terrible hidden in the depths.
According to the map instructions given by Ji Changhua, and then fly forward to nineteen,653 stars, you can reach the end of the starry sky, the place of origin.
At this moment, behind a star not far away, a cold light was faintly revealed. It was a single eye, staring at Shen Chong, who was flying by. In his eyes, there was endless fierce light.
