Rules of Heaven - C26
On one side of the plaza followed a flight of stairs, and right in front of them was a large hall, the word “Pure Heart” was written in the hall. Yang Xuan was currently leading Ding Hong through the great hall until they arrived at a fork in the road and a stone staircase leading downwards. Without stopping, he brought Ding Hong down the stone staircase.
The stone stairs were very steep, and after running for close to an incense’s time with Ding Hong, Yang Xuan finally reached the end. At the end of the lake was a few miles of transparent ice lake. It wasn’t a pond like Yang Xuan had said it was. The lake had already turned into a flat surface of ice, and under the illumination of the sun, it shone with a sparkling light.
At this moment, there were many uplifted platforms above the nether lake. From the looks of it, they seemed to be made from the same texture as the nether lake, but it was unknown how they were made of. Right now, there was a sea of people on the lake. Many platforms were already filled with contestants, but some of them were still waiting for some reason or another.
Yang Xuan looked around and, once he found the stage for his match, immediately dashed over. If it was a male senior brother, he would directly ignore him. But if it was a female junior sister, he didn’t forget to apologize and even mentioned his name.
After doing this many times back and forth, Yang Xuan finally arrived at the competition venue. However, he wasn’t as lively as the other sparring grounds, where only a few scattered people were chatting. The person on the platform wasn’t a woman, but a young man was calmly waiting. Another middle-aged man was sitting there looking left and right impatiently, as if he was looking for someone.
Yang Xuan also discovered that something was wrong on the stage. He coughed dryly to cover his embarrassment as he said to Ding Hong, “Brother Ding, look at how ferocious your brother is today!” After saying that, he rubbed his hands together and jumped onto the platform.
When the audience saw that the contestants had gone up to the arena, they stopped chatting and prepared to watch the match.
When the youth saw Yang Xuan stepping onto the stage, he nodded and said, “Wu Wei Hall, no need to return.”
Yang Xuan laughed. In the middle, there were some things that were delayed, I hope that you can forgive me, junior brother. ” Seeing that this youth was relatively young, he couldn’t help but call him junior brother, secretly looking down on him.
After the middle-aged man saw that both sides had finished introducing themselves, he said in a low voice, “You all know the rules, so I won’t be long-winded. Let the competition begin.”
As soon as the word “start” came out, the youth Mou Hui pulled out the sword on his back and stabbed forward. Yang Xuan saw his swift movements and didn’t hesitate. He drew out his flying sword and shot it at Mo Qi. When the youth saw the flying sword flying at him, he turned a blind eye to it and continued to stab forward. This action of his caused Yang Xuan to be a little shocked, and even many of the spectators were shocked.
Yang Xuan frowned. He thought that this young man was arrogant for no reason at all. He was looking down on him. With a cold snort, his left hand formed a spell sign and pointed at the Xuan Crystals in front of him. With a bang, the Profound Crystal shot out twenty feet high to block in front of Mo Lun. While Yang Xuan was secretly pleased with himself, the young man suddenly pierced through the Xuan Crystals without pause.
“Hua …” The crowd below the stage was in an uproar. Amongst the disciples that were watching, there were many that were from the Sky Heaven Hall, and Yang Xuan’s technique of ‘Initiation Technique’ could be said to be at the peak of perfection. Adding the toughness of the profound crystal, everyone thought that the young man would be blocked before being struck down by the Immortal Sword, but they never expected that the young man would be able to pass through.
Yang Xuan’s complexion changed when he saw Mo Sang walking over. His hands suddenly formed a seal as he roared, “Open!” With a dragon’s roar, a huge green dragon suddenly flew out from the void in front of him. Its scales were glowing with a green light, which was extremely terrifying.
The audience had thought that Yang Xuan was about to lose, but who knew that he would suddenly use such a move. They felt as if their hearts were hanging in their throats.
The green dragon roared at Mo Hou before charging towards him. Unexpectedly, just as the Azure Dragon was about to turn around, Mo Huaiji could only softly say, “Scatter!” The Azure Dragon immediately let out a wail and turned into smoke. Yang Xuan was immediately dumbfounded as he watched Mo Qi running over, pointing his sword at his throat.
The middle-aged man looked at Mo Yu in surprise, and then he replied, “Mo Wen Palace, Mo Wen won.”
Mo retracted his sword, bowed once, and then left by himself.
“Hua …”
“Who’s that Mo Hui? How could he be so strong? I’ve never seen such a magic before, but I’ve never heard of such a person appearing in the new generation. ”
“That’s right, senior brother Yang’s Dragon Roar technique was very good just now. I usually can’t even summon it out!”
“Heh heh, I think that Mo Ri might end up taking a spot in the Heavenly Palace.”
“That’s not necessarily true. After entering the fifties, everyone is a powerful individual.”
“. Sigh, you mean … ”
Ding Hong did not listen to their discussion. Others may not know what spell Mo Li used, but Ding Hong did. Now that he had thoroughly studied more than half of the books in the first floor of the Immortal Heaven Pavilion, he was able to gain some insights from many of the spells. In actuality, Mo Lun had only used two spells, the “Instantaneous Movement” and the “Break Technique”. It was just that Ding Hong did not expect him to practice these two spells to such an extent.
At this moment, Yang Xuan had also descended from the stage with a listless expression. Along the way, someone greeted him, but he didn’t pay any attention to Yang Xuan. After he came to Ding Hong’s side, he said, “Hey, Brother Ding, I didn’t expect to lose so miserably to a young man. Sigh, since Brother is not in a good mood, I’ll head back first. ” With that, he left by himself, not even bothering to look at Ding Hong.
Ding Hong knew that he was in a bad mood so he didn’t try to persuade him anymore. After seeing him leave, he prepared to look around by himself. There were a total of ten tables on the nether lake, and it was rare to see people descend like Yang Xuan, who had just gone up for a short while. He turned around and went to the closest stage, only to discover that there was a girl and a young man competing, but looking at the young man’s cultivation, it was obvious that he did not have the strength to deal a ruthless blow to the young junior, so the two of them persevered until the girl was out of spirit energy.
After strolling around a few arenas, he realized that there wasn’t much fun to be had. Perhaps the final 25 spots tomorrow would be the real highlight of the show. Thinking of this, he turned around and left.
After this short moment, he no longer had any intentions to study in the Immortal Heaven Pavilion, so he prepared to rest for the day. It was still early in the morning, and most of the people were still gathered in the nether lake. Earlier, he had seen Wu Lingdao and a few other elders with even more solemn auras sitting by a rather large platform.
When he arrived at the plaza, he noticed that the mountains on the left side of the plaza were moving up and down. After arriving there, Ding Hong discovered that there were two paths. One was a rugged mountain road that led downwards, and the other was meandering upwards. It was unknown where it led to. He pondered for a moment, came to the side of a young daoist and asked: “Senior, please disturb me. May I ask where these two roads lead to? I’ve only recently entered Penglai, so I don’t know what these specific places are. ” He pointed to the two roads.
The Daoist Priest sized him up for a moment, then smiled and said, “That mountain path down there is naturally the path down to the Penglai Mountain, but that path is specially prepared for ordinary citizens who wish to come to the Penglai City. And that path up the mountain leads to the famous scenery of the Penglai City, the Pangaea Beach and the Green Wind Pavilion, but Junior Brother, you are also very elegant, other people are watching the competition at the Underworld’s Pool, but you are going to take a look at the scenery.”
Ding Hong smiled in embarrassment. He did not argue and said, “Thank you, Senior Brother. “Junior apprentice-brother will be leaving now.”
The Daoist Priest nodded.
In fact, Ding Hong’s heart was pounding just now. He was pretending to be a Penglai disciple to inquire and was afraid of being found out. Fortunately, there was nothing wrong. After he climbed the winding mountain path, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief. After walking for a while on the mountain path, he looked down and saw a group of mountains rolling up and down. Clouds were rising in the air, making him seem like a fairyland. On the distant mountains, Ding Hong could vaguely see a few palaces. Presumably, they were the mansions of the Penglai Temple. “However, after looking for a long time, he could only see four palaces, and he did not know where the other one was.
Since he couldn’t find him, he didn’t want to bother looking for him either. Thus, he headed straight up the stairs. After walking for a long time, he turned a corner and his eyes lit up. He saw a small pavilion on a cliff in front of him, with the words “Qing Feng” written on it.
When he arrived at the pavilion, he instantly felt a cool breeze blowing against his face, making him feel extremely refreshed. With a single glance, he could see all of Penglai’s scenery. Not only could he see most of it, he could even see huge waves on the sea. It was truly a “blue wind” that could see Penglai in the distance.
After resting for a while, he continued to walk up the mountain. After seeing the Green Wind Pavilion, he realized it was already like this. He wondered how good the Jadeite Pool was compared to it.
Along the way, Ding Hong didn’t see any “beach” when they neared the peak. He couldn’t help but frown as he thought about what this Jadeite Pool meant. Who would have thought that after arriving at the mountain peak, the scenery would change and the multicolored clouds in the sky would rush towards the mountain peak like waves on the sea. The rainbow waves only rose and fell slightly. As they approached the peak of the mountain, they began to slow down. In the end, they turned into small, multicolored crystals that floated about before dissipating into the air.
When Ding Hong saw this scene, he could not help but be stunned, unable to recover for a long time.
If not for a peculiar sound reaching his ears, it was unknown when he would have woken up. That strange sound was the sound of someone crying softly, and it sounded somewhat familiar. Ding Hong couldn’t help but feel a little strange. He made his way to the back of a stone wall and immediately saw Su Ting in a light blue dress.
