Immortal Road.

Chapter 267 The Secret Revealed
The master of Xuchan Cave was extremely annoyed and secretly hated himself for talking too much, otherwise these people might not be found.

After all, there are so many giant aurora mirrors here, and they are dazzling. It is like looking for a needle in a haystack to find the reed stalactites among them, even if it is relatively easier than on-site.

But because I was too excited at the moment, I let it slip, and now I'm in trouble.

The eyes of several people all flickered as they secretly memorized the surrounding landforms and imprinted them firmly in their minds. If they could safely reach Hongya Cave, they would rush here first!
Although there is more than one Luyu stalactite, who has the confidence to find the next one? If you don’t fight for the one you already have, you are a fool!
Next, the few of them wandered around in the giant mirror maze and searched for another two hours, discovering more rare treasures and even the interior appearance of other areas of the stalactite cave.

However, this time they never saw any characteristics of the Lu Yu stalactite.

All we can say is that Master Xuchan was totally lucky that time, as in such a vast underground world, a scene just happened to appear before his eyes.

If you can’t find it, there’s no need to waste time. The four of them all understood this.

The right thing to do is to arrive at the forbidden area of ​​the cliff as early as possible and seize the initiative.

What's more, they had already heard the news about a reed stalactite, so they naturally wanted to fly there immediately.

……

Along the way, various scenes were presented in the prismatic world of the Aurora Sea. Not only were there natural treasures, but there were also some scenes that made them feel amazed.

For example, in a certain mirror, three large rivers flow on each side, without interfering with each other, but somewhere they converge together, forming an isolated island surrounded by rivers on three sides.

The eight hills on the island are like guarding soldiers, surrounding the basin inside. The terrain is extraordinary at first glance.

Lin Shan had specially studied some formations. In order to make full use of the Virtual Star Disk, he also consulted the Black Skull Demon Lord and Xiao Xin. He also snatched many books and classics from the Dai family. Seeing this scene, he always felt like déjà vu.

"This is where three rivers converge, winding and flowing. It's either a place where a dragon is trapped, buried or ascended!"

The weather above is varied, with layers of clouds like stairs, and even each step has a different color.

A strong wind blew from the sky, the sea of ​​clouds surged, but the ladder to heaven remained motionless.

As the golden sunlight shines down, cloud patterns emerge faintly, and golden threads are rooted in the air, pointing to an unknown place at the other end in the distance.

From the perspective of Feng Shui in this world of cultivation, there is a high possibility that there is another mystery beneath the basin surrounded by eight hills and that island in the middle of the three rivers.

Maybe it contains unknown secrets of heaven and earth, or it may lead to the entrance of another world, or it may lead directly to the depths of the void, or even to the underworld.
This kind of earth vein phenomenon that can take away the fortune of heaven and earth, if there is a person who is a grandmaster of formation or above, who can specially set up a supreme formation, can even suppress and ban all demons and monsters!
If you want to overcome the calamity and ascend to heaven, you can also set up the corresponding formation and break through the boundary to travel away.

“What a great place.”

Lin Shan was secretly envious, but he just looked at them secretly without discussing it with his three brothers.

But I believe that with the experience of those three old monsters, they might have recognized it a long time ago, and secretly remembered it in their hearts without making it public.

……

On the way forward, the Aurora Prism became more and more colorful, and the pictures kept changing. Sometimes the switching speed was so fast that it was hard to keep up.

What worried them was that they actually discovered in a certain mirror that there were still a large number of monsters alive in the forbidden area of ​​the cliff, and they were not ordinary monsters!

On a vast plain, two major camps were clearly separated.

On the left, there were probably more than two thousand monster armies, most of them were jackals, tigers and leopards, with a ferocious and terrifying aura. In the center, under an umbrella-covered carriage, a sturdy figure with a tiger head and a human body sat on it, drinking wine with big gulps, and a wolf monster and a bear monster stood proudly beside them.

On the right, there are tens of thousands of monsters united, most of which are blue cattle, blue sheep, horned deer, camels and horses. They look like a mob, but their formation is orderly and methodical. Their leader is a thin figure with a deer head, antlers and a human body, and there are also cattle monsters and sheep monsters around him.

As the war drums on both sides sounded, the armies began to fight each other. The brutal collisions and roars even dispersed the clouds in the sky.

The scene was so tragic and filled with blood, even the people watching the battle through the mirror were terrified!

The four of them stood in front of the prism, watching this epic battle. The monsters were biting and killing each other, countless dust was flying, and everyone was like ants under their iron hooves.

"The tiger demon leader and the deer demon leader have partially transformed their bodies and their throat bones have been refined. They are most likely demon kings in the Nascent Soul stage!"

The Yang family patriarch's voice trembled, and his shoulders felt heavy.

"Yes, except for the tiger head, tiger tail, and tiger claws that have not fully transformed, it is basically in human form. This shows that this monster is also a remarkable existence in the Nascent Soul stage! If it can transform its entire body, it will be a true transformed monster, comparable to the great masters in the human cultivation world!"

The Grand Elder of Zhenyue Sect was also extremely shocked, and his heart was trembling.

"That deer demon is also extraordinary. Although only less than half of its body has transformed, the antlers on its head have twelve branches! It is obviously a beast with extraordinary talents and ancestral bloodline!"

The Lord of Xuchan Cave could not help but exclaim in surprise, and his whole body was shivering with cold. When he thought that there was such a demon king in the forbidden area of ​​the cliff, he didn't know if he could escape if he met him.

Lin Shan was also listening to their conversation and couldn't help but look at them carefully.

The antlers on the demon king's head were intricately intertwined, as if he was carrying a huge potted plant. They were as densely packed as the roots of an old tree and even larger than his deer head. If you counted carefully, it seemed that there were indeed twelve forks.

"I remember that ordinary merle antlers only have three or four branches. Are you sure these twelve branches are real? "

This is just like the number of tails a fox has. The more tails a fox has, the better its talent is. The same is true for the number of grades of human golden elixirs and the number of orifices of soul elixirs.

As they watched the battle, the mirror plain had undergone tremendous changes.

When the battle was in full swing, the wolf-monster on the left was seen whispering in someone's ear, as if it was the military advisor of that camp, and seemed to be offering advice to the monster king with a tiger's head and a human body.

The tiger-headed demon king waved his hand, and the tiger demons behind him grew wings on their ribs. They flew into the sky, opened their mouths and spit out gray light, which made the herbivorous demon beasts on the opposite side fall to the ground.

At the same time, the wolf-monster controlled remotely and the group of tiger monsters flew with wings, hitting wherever they pointed. They flew here and there, which was very powerful!

The key point is that this monster does not look like a demon king in the Nascent Soul stage, but his eyes are full of wisdom, and the divine light flashes with great sensitivity, just like an old man who has seen through the world, with deep wisdom and strategies, and he can grasp the weaknesses of the two armies like seeing through fire.

Lin Shan outside the mirror was staring with his eyes wide open!

"This wolf-like beast should be a Jindan-stage monster, right? Why does it feel like not only has its horizontal bone been refined ahead of time, but its intelligence is also so advanced?!"

They had encountered Jindan-stage monsters before in the Star-Swallowing Mountains, but their IQs were about the same as those of a five-year-old child. However, this Jindan-stage monster could even lead a battle. Why was the gap so big?
The battle in the mirror was still going on, and the Meilu Demon King was not willing to be outdone. He stood on the platform and waved his flag, ordering the various races under his command to form a circular barrel formation and defend with impeccable defense, showing the demeanor of a great general.

The two monsters fought each other in the air, tit for tat.

Seeing that he was in a stalemate, the Tiger-headed Demon King simply roared and rode the black wind directly towards the opposite side.

The Meilu demon king stood up and stopped him, and they fought. The battle between Yuanying stage demon beasts is different from that between humans. Their bodies are equivalent to magic weapons, and close combat is commonplace for them. Every part of their body is trained to be strong and powerful, and a grab is enough to cause mountains to collapse and the earth to crack.

There were gusts of wind and billowing black smoke on the plain.

The two armies were fighting below, and the two demon kings in the sky were engaging in hand-to-hand combat. It seemed that the old enemies were fighting to the death.

However, because the deer demon's camp was no longer under its command, the army formation below was broken. The monsters were in disarray and made mistakes in their positioning. The wolf demon seized the opportunity to command his men to attack fiercely, and eventually broke the alliance.

In an instant the whole army was in disarray.

More than two thousand jackals, tigers and leopards were chasing tens of thousands of cattle monsters, horse monsters, deer monsters and sheep monsters.

The Deer Demon King in the sky roared continuously. Although there were many herbivorous monsters like this outside and he could recruit as many as he wanted, it was not easy to train them into an army. These tens of thousands of monsters that could barely form a formation were the result of his hard work for a long time!
The two fought for a long time, but in the end the battle ended with the Tiger-headed Demon King being defeated and expelled the Deer Demon King because his subordinates were killed and scattered. With the blessing of his tribe, the Tiger-headed Demon King defeated and expelled the Deer Demon King.

The plain was littered with corpses, and gradually silence fell.

The few people in the Aurora Sea also came to their senses, looking at each other with dry throats.

"There is a demon king in the forbidden area of ​​the cliff. How come I have never heard of this news?"

Lin Shan couldn't help but wonder. If he had known it was so dangerous, he would definitely have thought it over again.

The three ancestors of the Yang family didn't know either. They only learned about this situation when they saw it with their own eyes for the first time.

"Now that we are here, how can we give up halfway? The forbidden area on the cliff is so large. Since there are always people who come out alive, it means that the probability of encountering the demon king is not high. This is just a corner of it. We can just avoid it."

The great elder of Zhenyue Sect pretended to be calm and showed an indifferent expression.

The ancestor of the Yang family and the master of Xuchan Cave did not want to evacuate either. Moreover, they had just seen the reed jade stalactites with their own eyes, and they were filled with greed, so they all nodded.

"That's right! The forbidden area on the cliff is so large that we may not encounter the demon king. We just need to follow the steps and look for Hongya Cave!"

"That's right, that's right. Don't make any unnecessary trouble. Don't rush into a dangerous place you don't know about. The two demon kings are fighting to the death. As long as we don't disturb them, I think they won't care about us."

Lin Shan frowned slightly, feeling that it was not that simple.

He vaguely remembered that he had seen the surroundings of this battle plain in a prism before, and it seemed to be not far from Hongya Cave.
……

No one knew how big this aurora forest was. The four of them walked for most of the day but still couldn't get out.

From the initial novelty, they gradually felt some visual fatigue and just wanted to leave here quickly, but because of the threat of the starry aurora, they were always afraid to speed up and could only walk all the way.

During this time, they also saw some nonsensical fragments in a passing mirror.

For example, a group of barbarians dressed in animal robes were kneeling under an altar, knelt and prayed non-stop, with a brazier on the altar, roasting animal meat and blood, and a wizard wrapped in a black robe dancing and making some weird noises.
There is also a vast cemetery with mass graves piled up into small hills, stretching as far as the eye can see. Countless broken weapons and blades are rusted and stuck in the ground, and no one cares about them. The land has been soaked in blood for more than 100,000 years, and has always been black and red, as if it indicates the earth-shaking war that took place back then;
In a primeval forest, a huge white shuttle-shaped object was dug out by monks in blue robes. When they cleared away all the dirt and leaves on it, revealing the streamlined shape, guns, modules, tail fins, and observation windows, everyone cheered;

……

The aurora prism flows and changes, and countless pieces of information come in one after another.

The four of them were hurried on their way, and they were confused as they looked around. They found that there were too many secrets hidden in the forbidden area on the cliff, which seemed to have never been fully discovered by people.

Basically, those who knew these secrets died when they went in. If there were a few who managed to get out alive, they would keep them secret and not tell anyone, so outsiders would have no way of knowing.

Tens of thousands of years ago, that unprecedented war of invasion by evil demons from outer space was lost in the long river of history, buried deep under the forbidden area on the cliff, and became an unsolved case.

Just as they were wandering around, an ordinary thatched hut in the forest suddenly appeared in a mirror in front of them.

There was a fisherman inside, sitting on a stool wearing a conical hat and a black robe, his facial expression couldn't be seen clearly. He was fishing beside a small pond filled with fallen leaves, like a hermit from the world.

Several people were all extremely surprised. Who was this person? He was actually fishing leisurely in the forbidden area on the cliff.

At this moment, the man in the fishing hat seemed to sense something. He suddenly turned his head, followed the gaze, and looked towards the world outside the country, looking at them across the air in the mirror!
"?!!!"

All four of them shuddered with fear.

But in just a moment, the mirror in front of him stopped reflecting, the slide stopped abruptly, and it became pitch black, as empty and deep as a black hole.

“Ka-ka-ka-ka-ka~~~~”

The entire Aurora Sea was still for a moment. The images of countless Aurora prisms were paused, and then they went out one by one.

The originally colorful aurora sea suddenly dimmed, and the sky and the earth lost their color and became pitch black.

The surrounding vision was lost and it was pitch dark.

All light cannot escape the black hole, and the darkest hour arrives.

"What's going on?"

"I do not know!"

"Why is there no light in the Aurora Sea?"

"It seems like we just looked directly into the eyes of an extraordinary person!"

After what seemed like a century.

"Boom~~"

There was a roar in my ears, and the world came alive again.

The gorgeous aurora has returned. It seemed that all the light had been inexplicably gathered just now, but now it was released again.

Rows of aurora prisms lit up one by one like searchlights, and the prismatic world returned to its original appearance.

However, this time, there were no more scene clips in each mirror. It was all white, obscuring the secret.

It seemed as if everything had happened, and yet it seemed as if nothing had happened.
