Devour

However, Li Tong did remind Cheng Bai, so he simply grabbed the inheritance cube and shouted, "Grow bigger quickly."

Li Tong stammered, "You're taking advantage of me again."

In the blink of an eye, the Rubik's Cube changed into a huge square box about ten meters long. When the lid was opened, a powerful suction force enveloped the six Yellow Turban warriors, sucking them in like a black hole. When the lid was closed, it returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened.

Cheng Bai smiled and said, "With the immortal weapon in hand, how can I not use it?"

Li Tong showed his baby face and said with a wry smile: "These are not tasty. You can't even swallow your own domains. Don't make me swallow too much. Artificial materials are difficult to digest. The more Gawain Athens, the better."

Cheng Bai did not argue with it. He looked at the general who was fighting alone in the halberd formation and the outcome was still unknown. Without further delay, he fired sniper bullets and arrows at the Yellow Turban warriors' formation.

This time the targets were all key places, either hitting the eyes, wrists, or ankles, in an attempt to create flaws in the Yellow Turban warriors' formation.

The general seized the opportunity and charged forward with his mountain-splitting spear, sending four more Yellow Turban warriors flying far away, causing chaos in the formation. The balance was finally broken, and the general successfully broke out of the siege and killed the remaining Yellow Turban warriors. His mountain-splitting spear swept away several Yellow Turban warriors in succession, and the victory was decided.

The defeated Yellow Turban warriors returned to the city dejectedly, but unexpectedly two more teams of Yellow Turban warriors came out of the city gate, a total of 16 people, holding mountain-splitting spears, and walked to the front of the formation and lined up in two rows.

The battle escalated again, and more powerful Yellow Turban warriors came forward to meet the challenge. Although their number was small, their combat power was much stronger.

But the battlefield was empty, Cheng Bai and others were gone.

Just as the last batch of Yellow Turban Warriors retreated back to the city, Cheng Bai put the Yellow Turban Warrior general, Li Tong and Yan Gui into his treasure bag, followed them in stealth, and quietly slipped into the city under attack.

As expected, the chance of winning this time is lower, and Cheng Bai has no confidence at all. It is better to think from another angle. It is not necessary to rely on fighting to enter the city.

The city has wide streets, quaint buildings, pavilions and terraces, exquisite and vivid stone carvings, murals and decorative embellishments, the ancient stone roads are neat and clean, and the bright lights shine brightly, illuminating the city brighter than the lower levels. It feels as if you are in a perfect poetic painting, peaceful and beautiful.

Cheng Bai exclaimed: "All the lights are made of moonstone and there are countless of them in the whole city. What a great investment."

Moonstone is a first-level semi-precious stone with a hardness of 0.8. It can emit stable light for a long time. Monks often use it at night to replace candles. The light is soft, safe and reliable. Although it is not particularly rare and precious, a huge amount of it is also a huge fortune.

Li Tong could not wait to slip out of Cheng Bai's treasure bag and said with a smile: "The Moonlight Stone is nothing. It was made by God back then, how could it be an ordinary item? The Attack City is full of natural treasures, and it is composed of countless treasures. It is itself a supreme soul weapon, attached to the Shengjin Tower and controlled by it to become a part of it."

Horcruxes are also called holy objects. Magical weapons of this level are often intelligent and form their own small world. They are mysterious and unpredictable, far beyond the reach of ordinary treasures.

Cheng Bai looked around and saw that there were no Yellow Turban warriors guarding him, so he revealed himself and released the Smoker. He said admiringly, "The Shengjin Pagoda is indeed a supreme immortal weapon. It is equivalent to containing seven small worlds. It must be one of the best of its kind."

Li Tong said hurriedly: "The Shengjin Tower is amazing, but it may not be the best. If I eat more Gawain Athens, gold and stone treasures, I will hopefully be promoted to a divine weapon in the future."

Cheng Bai asked curiously, "Oh? There are divine weapons above immortal weapons?"

Li Tong explained: "In the ancient times, there were no immortals or humans. Only the ancient gods existed in the ancient universe. The treasures they left behind were revered as divine artifacts, and each one was extremely powerful. In later generations, artifacts that surpassed the limits of immortal artifacts were also hailed as divine artifacts. The artifact relics of the ancient times were renamed ancient spiritual treasures to distinguish them from them."

Cheng Bai thought for a moment and asked, "How did the immortal appear?"

Li Tong replied, "It's a long story. The ancient gods created the human race and other ancient remnants. In the ancient times, the various races fought for supremacy, and the human race was at a disadvantage. However, under constant oppression, they created various cultivation methods. Those who reached a certain level were honored as 'immortals', transcending the mortal world. Since then, there has been the immortal race."

Cheng Bai smiled and said, "It turns out that the Immortal Race is also a branch of the Human Race."

The smoker's face changed drastically and he whispered, "Master, please don't say that." He turned his head and looked around cautiously.

Cheng Bai was feeling strange, but saw Li Tong shaking his head and continuing to talk.

"I haven't finished yet. It's not that simple. The Immortals monopolized the Eternal Age at the end of the Ancient Times. The Immortal Saints dominated the world. Other ancient surviving races were almost wiped out, and a new era of the Ancient Age was created. But today, the immortals in the world are different from the ancient times. The new immortals in the Immortal Class call the immortals of the ancient times 'ancient immortals'. They are the high and mighty immortals, not the human race. If the ancient immortals hear you compare them to them, I'm afraid you will be killed."

Cheng Bai frowned slightly and said softly, "The Immortals think they are far superior to the Humans, right?"

Li Tong said: "That's right. The residence of the immortals is ranked above all the heavens and the myriad realms. It is a fairyland in its own right. It is difficult to see ancient immortals in the cloud world and the sea of ​​stars. It is indeed a blessing."

The group talked as they walked, going deeper into the city and approaching the core area.

The central building of the attacking city is a towering imperial palace, magnificent and majestic. It shines with golden light under the moonstone. There is a plaque with four ancient characters "Jinyu Tianfu" painted in iron and silver hooks on it, adding a bit of simplicity and elegance. In front of the door, several yellow turban strongmen are guarding it, and the door is closed.

Cheng Bai looked at it from afar, sized it up and down and praised, "This residence is magnificent, it's truly a wealthy place." But in his mind, he was thinking about how to break into the monastery.

Before he could think of a plan, the wide gate of the imperial palace slowly opened, and a petite and exquisite white jade boy walked out, waved in the direction of Cheng Bai, and said loudly: "Everyone, don't hide, come in."

Li Tong said: "That is the Stone Idiot, it is inviting us."

Cheng Bai picked it up, walked up quickly and said, "Senior Shichi, I am Cheng Bai, sorry to bother you."

Li Tong stared at the white jade boy in front of him and suddenly said, "No, you are not a stone idiot."

The white jade boy glanced at Li Tong and said, "You figured it out. It is different from 14,000 years ago, but I am still a stone maniac. The spirit of the artifact also has a lifespan. The Shengjin Pagoda has been running for tens of millions of years, and I am already tens of millions of years old. It is because of the spirits of others that I have been able to extend my lifespan by tens of thousands of years. It's because the material is not as good as yours."

Li Tong sighed and said, "How can there be true eternity in this world? I am just sleeping to prolong my life."

Cheng Bai's heart moved, and he thought of the inscription on the monument beside the bridge over the alien insect pond, and asked, "Whose spirit did you get, senior? Could it be Senior Shi Qi's?"

Shi Chi nodded and said, "Fourteen thousand years ago, Shi Qi returned from Shanhui City with serious injuries, which greatly reduced his life span. He came to Shengjin Pagoda and gave part of his spirit to me, but he died soon after. Therefore, I also have Shi Qi's memories, or in other words, part of his life has continued in me."

Li Tong said: "With Shi Qi's cultivation level at the Dragon Transformation Realm, he should have lived for tens of thousands of years. How could he die after only a thousand years? This was a mystery on the Qiongqi Continent back then, and we have only now found the clues."

Cheng Bai said solemnly: "In that case, I should call you Senior Shi Qi."

"Just call me Shi Chi. I like this name." Shi Chi led Cheng Bai and his party into Jinyu Tianfu.

The palace is spacious and bright, with soft and comfortable lighting. It has colorful pearl glazed tiles, goose-gold jade-thread walls, and white mutton-fat jade railings. The colors are elegant and dignified, and the details are meticulously carved. The unique artistic charm makes people fall in love with it.

Shi Chi said leisurely: "The key for you to come here is to prove your worth through challenges. Who is the peak on the vast immortal road? The emperor's throne manifests the body of cultivation. Whether you come here as the emperor's son or the genius, you all come here to ascend to the throne of God."

Arriving at the Taihe Gate of the Jinyu Palace, the palace in front of you is astonishingly majestic and vast. In the center stands a huge five-colored stone throne, which is magnificent. Ninety-nine five-clawed golden dragons are coiled on it, as if they are about to jump out, emitting the faint pressure of the emperor.

Cheng Bai was surprised and asked: "What is this?"

Shi Chi was very interested and asked, "What did you see?"

Cheng Bai asked in confusion: "Is that a dragon carved on it? It looks very different from the black dragon."

Li Tong chuckled.

Shi Chi was stunned and said, "This is the flesh and blood of the five-clawed golden dragons inlaid on the imperial throne. Each one of them is extraordinary and holy, and has reached the state of great perfection in overcoming the calamity. The blood of the true dragon is so pure, how can it be compared to that of a low-level black dragon?"

Cheng Baiqi asked: "Do dragons also have levels?"

Shi Chi said seriously, "The true dragon species is definitely not formed by other species transforming into dragons. The evolutionary hierarchy is strict. When young, it is a Qiu. When young, it is a Jiao. After a thousand years, it is a Panlong. When it is an adult, it becomes a black dragon. When it is in its prime, it can become a Canglong. After more than ten thousand years of cultivation, it can become a white dragon. Then, it changes from red to green, and after the Nirvana Dharmakaya, the physical body becomes a yellow dragon after becoming a saint. Only after overcoming the tribulation and becoming a great saint can it become a five-clawed golden dragon. How difficult it is to advance to the next level."

Cheng Bai smiled and said, "To reach this level, one can only become a decoration on the throne. How sad."

Shi Chi was stunned for a moment and said, "Don't interrupt me. Did you only see dragons? How many were there?"

Cheng Bai counted again and again and said truthfully: "Eighty-one, what's the mystery?"

Shi Chi and Li Tong stared at each other and asked in unison: "Didn't you see anything else?"

Cheng Bai looked again and again, shook his head and said, "There is only one empty throne, nothing else."

Shi Chi refused to give up and asked, "Didn't you see the Great Emperor sitting on the throne, communicating with you, or guiding your cultivation?"

Cheng Bai was stunned and said, "No."

Shi Chi sighed repeatedly: "What a pity, what a pity, I have no chance to be with the Emperor's throne, I missed it."

Li Tong said hurriedly: "This is a holy-grade spiritual stone, made of five-colored stones, and the Taihe Emperor Throne made of ninety-nine and eighty-one true dragons that have passed the tribulation. It is comparable to a high-grade immortal weapon. How could there be no reaction at all? You are not a useless person without any spiritual roots or talent for cultivation. This is really strange."

Cheng Bai's heart moved. Ever since Jiong Huang harbored murderous intentions towards him, he usually used his ability to conceal his state, making it difficult for people to figure out his talent and depth of cultivation. Could this be related?

Just as he was about to withdraw his cover-up, he suddenly heard Shi Chi shout, "Huh? There are other challengers coming in from outside the city."

Li Tong was surprised and said, "Could it be Mo Ruo? He was able to break through the alien insect pool."

Cheng Bai thought for a moment and said, "If he pretends to be dead a few more times on the bridge, it's not impossible for him to reach the seventh floor. But he won't be able to enter the city."

Shi Chi said embarrassedly: "I thought you could sit on the throne and control the whole city, so I removed the small Zhoutian formation and sent all the Yellow Turban warriors to the vicinity of Jinyu Tianfu to facilitate the count of manpower. Now anyone outside the city can come in as long as they push the door."

Li Tong exclaimed: "You did this on purpose, you are letting me win."

Shi Chi said bluntly: "Mo Ruo has fought with you many times. If he can really control the throne, wouldn't he be the best touchstone? Since he can come in, it means that he has some fate with this city. Under the throne, everyone is an ant. What's wrong with letting him get close to comprehend?"

Cheng Bai was moved when he heard this and asked, "We are all ants? Why is that?"

Li Tong blinked and told the truth: "Because Emperor Zuo preached."

……

Mo Ruo strode along the streets of the city, but did not bring the Frost Dragon King to the seventh floor.

He had an extraordinary vision, and looking around, he was dazzled and exclaimed: "It is clearly a holy city, the depth and mystery of it are incredible, I am afraid it is almost catching up with the City of Good Associations."

Seeing that there was no one around, he couldn't help but imagine: "There is no one guarding this place. It turns out that after getting through the insect and beast difficulty on the sixth floor, there are treasures everywhere, which is much better than the junk all over the first two floors... Wait a minute, if we can find the center of the holy city, wouldn't it be possible to control the entire city and activate the holy objects? The magnificent imperial palace ahead must be full of mysteries." He was overjoyed and quickened his pace.

There was no one guarding the Jinyu Tianfu, and the huge and magnificent door opened silently. Mo Ruo had no obstruction and came to the throne of Emperor Taihe. He looked up and his eyes widened.

The real dragon in front of him awakens, and the dragon roars and chants, the sky shakes and the earth trembles, golden light radiates and illuminates the mountains and rivers, and auspicious auras reflect the purple clouds.

On the throne, the peerless emperor looked down at the mortal world, and said in a solemn and majestic voice: "Mo Ruo, you have gone through all kinds of hardships and sufferings before you can see the true face of the spiritual saint, watch your spiritual light burst out from the sky, your bones are like a flying dragon in the sky, and your blessings are deep. You can suddenly realize the supreme magic, achieve nirvana and become a saint, and stand above all living beings. Do you wish to receive my profound will and accept my great grace?"

Mo Ruo was overjoyed when he heard this. He had been practicing hard in the Thunder Valley of Giant Beast Island, trying to comprehend the mysteries of the Great Emperor's skills. It was so difficult, but he could not comprehend even a little bit. Now a great opportunity was before him. He immediately kowtowed three times and nine times to the throne of the Emperor, and said loudly: "Disciple Mo Ruo, I wish to receive the Emperor's grace, receive the Holy Teachings, and keep them in mind."

The emperor said in a loud voice: "The sky is high and the earth is thick. The world is vast and rich, but there are many arrogant, jealous, lazy, greedy, lustful, hateful, murderous, and bullying people. They are disloyal, unfilial, unkind, unjust, rude, and untrustworthy. They are full of evil and have created boundless sins, leading to the reincarnation of hell and eternal damnation. They suffer the pain of breaking their hearts and bones and being sad and heartbroken. I have the supreme magic truth that can cross thousands of abysses, break through thousands of difficulties, eliminate evil and villains, save the world and help the people, and help you reach the peak."

Mo Ruo knocked his head like a chicken pecking at rice, and said in great joy: "My disciple is willing to accept my teaching with an open mind. I have no choice but to accept it."

The emperor said in a resounding voice: "How much you have understood depends on your understanding. Stand up and take the challenge."
