Chapter 3649
However, the moment the stone wall closed, a very subtle fluctuation appeared from a place about ten feet away from the platform. This fluctuation quickly disappeared into the void.
The fluctuation crossed the void and appeared next to a giant star with monstrous waves of fire.
The giant star was huge and extremely hot. It emitted an intense golden brilliance and an uncountable amount of Awe-Inspiring Qi flowed around the giant star, emitting a faint rumbling sound. This rumbling sound was like the sound of pines or the sound of flowing water. It was soft but mighty.
Not far away from the giant star, layers of clouds covered the sky and covered the earth.
The clouds were dyed by the golden brilliance and looked extremely gorgeous.
The clouds were close to the center of the island. Pieces of floating clouds were pulled away by the Awe-Inspiring Qi. They were like tassels that were pulled away from the clouds and spiraled into the airflow, disappearing in a moment.
At this time, the clouds suddenly rolled and a figure rushed out from the clouds. It was the gloomy Kong Hongwu. At this time, Kong Hongwu was no longer dressed like a scholar. Instead, he was wearing a somewhat strange Star Armor.
This Star Armor was made up of large and small pieces of armor. Each piece of armor was strung together by a thin chain. There seemed to be some gaps between the pieces of armor, but these gaps were filled with inscriptions. The inscriptions were born from the pieces of armor, entangled in the gaps, and then rushed into the other pieces of armor.
In addition to the faint inscriptions on each piece of armor, there were also dots of starlight and faint star patterns.
As soon as Kong Hongwu came out of the clouds, he immediately stood in the air. Thick clouds grew beneath his feet. His eyes flashed with a clear light as he looked at the giant star overflowing with brilliance. For a long time, he didn't say a word. The golden light not only dyed his armor golden yellow, even his eyes were flowing with golden light!
"Damn it!!" Kong Hongwu's face suddenly became angry. "Huo De, that brat, deserves to die!!
This old man gave you a chance to redeem yourself, but you didn't kill that Xiao Hua. Instead, you dared to rush into the Scorching Sun Formation with the Daoist cultivators!
This old man also didn't expect that after your fire gourd was taken away by Xiao Hua, you still had a secret technique!
If it weren't for you, how could there be so few casualties in the Scorching Sun Formation?? "
"Pleiades Chicken!"
Kong Hongwu roared. The clouds behind him churned and another woman flew out. This woman was wearing five-colored armor. She had a charming face and a graceful figure. Her hair was coiled up and there was a five-colored feather in her hair. She looked indifferent as she coldly glanced at Kong Hongwu. As if she didn't care, she said in a low voice, "Greetings, Palace Master. What orders do you have for me?"
"You …" Just as Kong Hongwu was about to give the order, his eyes suddenly widened and his face was filled with extreme disbelief. Shortly after, Kong Hongwu growled, "Not good!!"
After that, he completely ignored Gusu Qiuran. A tri-colored cloud flashed around his body, and countless Awe-Inspiring Qi rushed into his body from the void. His entire body shook a few times and immediately disappeared.
"Ah?"
Gusu Qiuran was so surprised that she actually reached out to cover her mouth. Looking at the place where Kong Hongwu disappeared, she didn't know what to do.
However, in just a moment, Gusu Qiuran's face showed calmness and indifference again. Her eyes were also flowing with extraordinary splendor. Looking at the situation inside the scorching sun, a faint smile appeared on her lips. "Fortunately …" Her voice was very low, like a mosquito flapping its wings. As for the meaning of these two words, only she knew.
Then, Gusu Qiuran's body slowly descended and disappeared into the clouds.
Xiao Hua suppressed his joy and stepped into the star path. In front of him, there was darkness. Only a little light under his feet formed a winding star path!
Moreover, whether it was Divine Thought, Buddhist Awareness or Soul Awareness, they couldn't be used. Even the vague feeling that Xiao Hua had before had disappeared.
Xiao Hua frowned slightly and walked down the star path. However, after walking for a while, Xiao Hua stopped again because he felt that he was not moving forward, but going in circles in the void!
If it was outside the void, Xiao Hua would never dare to have this confidence. However, in this dark place, Xiao Hua had his own feelings and confidence.
Looking at the star path behind him and then at the star path in front of him, Xiao Hua tried to step out of the star path. Sure enough, just as Xiao Hua stepped into the darkness outside the star path, the star path in front of him actually changed, and the direction was where Xiao Hua stepped!
"Damn it, there's actually a trap here!" Xiao Hua suddenly realized, "I thought that it would be a smooth journey once I reached here.
It seems that the Immortal Palace … doesn't trust Star Lord Hall too much! "
Since he knew that this was a trap, it was easy to handle. Xiao Hua followed his intuition and walked forward. After walking for half a cup of tea's time, Xiao Hua turned around and saw a spiraling star path behind him. Perhaps no one would dare to move forward like this if they didn't have a bit of confidence!
However, Xiao Hua also understood that there might not be too many restrictions outside this great formation. As long as he carefully walked down, he would definitely be able to see the true appearance of this great formation.
Sure enough, after half a cup of tea's time, Xiao Hua very strangely turned left three steps, right three steps, and then straight ten steps before stopping. Soon after, he turned around again and walked a dozen steps in the right direction.
Suddenly, the cry for help from the green-robed Xiao Hua became louder!
Xiao Hua did not dare to be negligent and quickened his pace. After walking a dozen more steps, the scene in front of him suddenly opened up. When he looked up, he was unconsciously shocked by the scene in front of him!
What a splendid sight it was!
A huge whirlpool was floating in the air. Just from the shape of the whirlpool, it looked like a snail's shell. It was arranged in layers, decreasing from the middle to the outer layer.
Each layer was slowly rotating, and the angle and speed of each layer were different. The color emitted by each layer was also different.
Moreover, the brilliance emitted by each layer was like fireworks, gradually moving further and further away. Where the brilliance disappeared, there was an obscure fluctuation.
Along with this fluctuation, a vast and mighty aura surged from the void and fell into the whirlpool. The grand aura was like the sea and the grand aura was like the ocean. It passed through the whirlpool and set off waves. The bursts of resentment that were like the sound of a wheel were emitted by this seemingly endless flow of grand aura!
This whirlpool was extremely large. When Xiao Hua looked at it, a sense of inferiority involuntarily emerged from the bottom of his heart. It was as if no matter how high he was, no matter how deep his cultivation was, he was still an ant in front of this whirlpool!
What was special was that as the whirlpool rotated, a strong and desolate aura filled the entire space, bringing with it a desolate, ancient, and unyielding aura!
If one looked carefully at the whirlpool, they would see specks of starlight. These specks of starlight rotated along with the whirlpool, drifting within the grand aura. Each speck of starlight rolled up a huge wave of air, and the entire whirlpool rose and fell like waves. It was like a movement, playing an ancient song in this desolate aura.
Looking at the colorful splendor and the shocking whirlpool, Xiao Hua was stunned. This kind of scene was something that many ordinary cultivators could see, and it was not something that an ordinary Confucian cultivator could set up.
Although he had seen a rare vision in the Cai Clan's ancestral temple in the million Meng Mountains, that vision could not be compared to this!
It was a bit less magnificent, a bit less imposing, and a bit less mysterious!
Suddenly, as if there was a gust of wind, a layer of magnificent splendor was lifted. As the splendor rippled, one could see that within the huge whirlpool, there were actually huge and dense phantoms that were rotating along with the whirlpool.
These phantoms were thousands of feet in size, and they were suffused with different kinds of light. Each phantoms was in the shape of an infant. They were either sitting cross-legged, standing with rapt attention, forming hand seals with both hands, or placing magic treasures on their knees. However, each infant phantoms had their eyes closed, and their expressions were serene.
"Hiss …" Xiao Hua sucked in a breath of cold air. He understood in his heart that these Nascent Souls were most likely the ones that went missing in the Yaotai Mountain's grand formation, the Sun, Moon, and Star Formations!
The immortal palace set up this mysterious grand formation with the purpose of collecting the Nascent Souls of these Nascent Soul cultivators!
Xiao Hua looked around and immediately saw where he sensed it. A similarly huge Nascent Soul phantoms were sitting cross-legged. What was different from the others was that this Nascent Soul's eyes were wide open, and within those eyes, there was a flicker of anxiety. The Nascent Soul's body flickered with a faint flame. The flame was very weak, and it was like a piece of clothing stuck to the Nascent Soul's body.
Within the whirlpool, the myriad of starlight was like a giant flow of grand aura, constantly washing away this thin flame.
"Green-robed Xiao Hua!!"
Xiao Hua was very anxious. At the same time, Green-robed Xiao Hua also sensed Xiao Hua's arrival. While looking at Xiao Hua, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of true energy onto his knees.
At this moment, Green-robed Xiao Hua placed a bronze mirror on his knees. As his true energy fell, the bronze mirror emitted a six-colored brilliance that covered the huge body of the green-robed Nascent Soul. Immediately, Green-robed Xiao Hua opened his mouth, and the surrounding flame entered his mouth. The six-colored brilliance blocked the attack of the grand aura and starlight.
Then, Green-robed Xiao Hua used all his strength to point below him, as if he was reminding Xiao Hua of something.
Following the direction of Green-robed Xiao Hua's finger, Xiao Hua looked at the bottom of the whirlpool, only to see that there was actually a huge tail at the bottom of the whirlpool. Myriad of starlight, rays of light, and a vast and mighty sea of qi surrounded an extremely long Nascent Soul phantom that fell into a huge black spot!
"This is …" Xiao Hua's eyes widened. At this moment, he could clearly see that the place where everything fell … was shockingly a fist-sized lamp!
"Demon Refining Gourd!!!"
Xiao Hua cried out in surprise. In his memories, as well as Taishi Zhanran and Ouyang Jingran's memories, they all had the appearance of this item. Moreover, the name was also exactly the same.
"Immortal Palace's Demon Refining Gourd!!
It actually appeared here! "
Xiao Hua raised his eyes to look at the incomparably huge whirlpool, then lowered his head to look at the fist-sized Demon Refining Gourd. An indescribable feeling of incredulity arose spontaneously in his heart …
