"This is the legendary Suzaku, the spiritual bird of the four directions? It's simply... simply... incredible..."
Su Yanran murmured to herself, as a scientific worker, the scene in front of her was like a biologist who simulated the image of a dinosaur after discovering dinosaur fossils. She didn't find it surprising. It was just a novel species, but when he realized it, I actually saw the roaring dinosaurs of the Jurassic era. The visual and auditory impact was really shocking.
Qin Hao is not much better than Su Yanran. Even if he accepts it much faster than ordinary people due to his own reasons, this is after all a living divine bird that exists in myths and legends. Even if he is a practitioner, he will be like those sleeping in the tomb. Or the dead zombies who are irrational and walking dead are completely different. The life essence can still be clearly felt even from an altitude of hundreds of kilometers.
The sacred bird Suzaku kept circling above the two people's heads, and at the same time it kept neighing, as if it was telling something or issuing a warning.
Qin and Hao looked at each other in confusion. They didn't understand bird language, so they didn't know what the firebird above them was calling.
However, the next second, without waiting for Qin Hao and Su Yanran to react, the Suzaku divine bird suddenly screamed, and then swooped down rapidly, its huge hook-like claws, and its sharp steel-like beak heading towards The two caught him.
"not good!"
Qin Hao let out a low roar, suddenly exerted force on his feet, and jumped nearly a hundred meters, trying to dodge the opponent's attack. Even so, they did not completely escape the shadow of the divine bird. The flames burning feathers just brushed past Qin Hao's back, knocking Qin Hao away, and he turned several somersaults in mid-air. Planted in the woods.
The Suzaku Divine Fire hadn't even touched Qin Hao's body, but it had already burned his back just by getting close to him. Not to mention that the flames brushed across his back and burned almost instantly, even if he rolled on the ground. Several rounds were of no use at all. The flame seemed to be stuck to his back with 50% glue. Instead of being suppressed, it seemed to be expanding.
The flame burned ragingly, and at its peak, it was faintly pure white. Qin Hao could feel that the power of this fire was definitely no less than the true sun fire in his body. If it hadn't just been rubbed and stained with a wisp of flame, I'm afraid he will be burned alive.
You must know that this is the Nanming Lihuo, the original fire of the divine bird Suzaku. It is not an ordinary fire. If it touches a little, it will turn people into ashes.
But the strange thing is that this fire enveloped Qin Hao, and he could only see it burning, and he felt severe pain, but it did not burn him to death. This Nanming Lihuo seemed to be in vain.
Qin Hao endured the severe pain in his back that almost pierced his soul, and shouted: "Sword!"
A golden light flew out from Qin Hao's head and shot straight into the sky. He did not move. The Xuanyuan Sword moved at will, slashing down with majestic killing energy, aiming directly at the sacred bird Suzaku.
With one sword strike, the world collapses!
The power of this sword was extremely terrifying. It slashed the sky and the earth. It was so fast that it almost cut off time. It did not allow the sacred bird Suzaku to dodge. It was as if the entire time was frozen at that moment. It almost slashed towards the immobile target, directly. Submerged into the body of the divine bird Suzaku.
Being struck by the light of the Xuanyuan Sword, the sacred bird Suzaku did not scream or show blood flowing out of the wound like a normal living creature. Instead, it shattered into tiny pieces of light, as bright as fireworks, and turned into a faint light. The mist fills the air, and the light shines, returning to nature.
"Is this an illusion transformed by spiritual energy? It's not a living thing?" Qin Hao was suddenly shocked. "No wonder Nanming Lihuo doesn't live up to his name. He's just a Xibei."
As the Suzaku illusion collapsed, the flames behind Qin Hao also turned into aura and dissipated. Moreover, the Suzaku illusion was like the switch and key that restricted the area. After it was broken, it remained as dense as mist, blocking the sight of the two people. It began to gradually spread out, revealing the true appearance of this space.
In front of you is a straight mountain peak that towers into the clouds, almost piercing the sky. It is shaped like the edge of a sword, as if falling from the sky, straight into the ground. This mountain peak goes straight up and down, with no grass growing and no greenery at all. The cliff looks like it has been cut by a knife, and is as smooth as glass, making it impossible to climb.
Qin Hao raised his head and looked up. Even though the golden flames in his eyes kept beating, he still couldn't see the edge. Even through this mountain peak, Qin Hao's eyes had passed through the limitations of the sky and shot into the vast starry sky.
Just on the cliff at the foot of the mountain, there is a stone chain as huge as a long snake, like meteorite iron from the sky, dark and black with a hint of cold light, at least as thick as a human body, and the stone chain is connected to the mountain. There is no trace of artificial construction anywhere, just like it grew out of the mountain peaks, completely natural.
Qin Hao also discovered something strange. The cliffs of this mountain peak were obviously different from the surrounding environment. The surrounding boulders, giant trees, and flowers and plants all had seasonal changes, decayed and withered, or were eroded by the years, wind, frost, rain, and snow. There are no traces of it, but there are no traces on this mountain peak or this cliff. It is like a treasure that is not affected by anything and remains the same.
When the fog completely dissipated, the sky was revealed to the two of them. At this moment, there was no distinction between sunny and rainy in the sky. It was as dark as a splash-ink painting, with dots of light inlaid in it. If they looked carefully, they saw flickering lights. The alien planet with hazy starlight was sometimes far away and sometimes close, sometimes clear and sometimes hazy, which made people really confused. It was similar to the starry sky map of the universe that Qin Hao had seen before.
Although the sky is as dark as space, there is no night in the space. Like the City of the Dead before, there is only daytime. The aura that permeates the space emits a faint light, illuminating the entire space like day.
Further forward, close to the cliff, the two discovered that the huge stone chain seemed to be broken in the middle, and there were some broken parts of the stone chain on the ground. It did not look like it had been cut off by someone's knife or axe. It looked like a break caused by an accident, but it looked like something was torn apart from the inside out.
Why does this happen? Could it be that this stone chain originally bound a certain creature? Or a human, or a monster, and the being who is tied up now breaks the stone chain and escapes
Just when Qin Hao was guessing, Su Yanran on her back suddenly pointed to the top of the cliff and said: "Qin Hao, look there, someone is carving words!"
Looking in the direction of Su Yanran's finger, Qin Hao did see some characters on the stone wall. Different from the pre-Qin characters he saw on the ancient road before, these were real Chinese characters, and they were modern simplified Chinese characters, not classical Chinese traditional characters. Obviously, the person who left the words on this stone wall must have been within the past few decades.
Qin Hao was slightly surprised. In the past few decades, has anyone on earth been here
Somehow, Qin Hao suddenly felt that Su Yanran's body began to tremble slightly on his back, as if he had discovered some unimaginable clues. His whole body seemed extremely excited. He patted Qin Hao's shoulder anxiously and said, "Qin Hao, Quick, put me down quickly."
Qin Hao was startled. Although there was magic medicine in his mouth to protect his body, Su Yanran's body was injured after all. Excessive emotion could easily aggravate the injury. He quickly put it down: "Don't worry, there are Tell me slowly."
As soon as her feet touched the ground, Su Yanran ran towards the stone wall, her whole body almost pressed against the stone wall, her face almost buried in the stone wall, her fingers gently caressing the carvings on the stone wall.
Qin Hao followed over without asking anything. Obviously, Su Yanran must have some opinions about the engraving, otherwise she wouldn't be so excited.
Sure enough, Su Yanran turned around and said the first words to Qin Hao, which shocked him extremely. She looked at Qin Hao with complicated eyes: "These words were left by my adoptive father. The handwriting is the same as the ink pen he once left. It’s exactly the same and I can be 100% sure that it was written by him.”
Qin Hao knew something about Su Yanran's life experience from Long Jiu. He knew that she was an orphan and was adopted by a Ye family woman since she was a child. The Ye family woman's husband was the eldest son of the Qin family who had been missing for many years, Zhao Guohua's best friend, and Qin Tian's brother.
It's really an exaggeration that a person who disappeared more than 20 years ago and has no news to this day would appear in such a place and be locked here! How did he get here? How to escape? What happened that year
After reading through the text left by the other party, Qin Hao roughly understood some of the situation. Although he could still completely solve all the mysteries, he found some clues.
"My son was captured by the black-clothed divine envoy. I pursued him with all my strength, but I didn't expect that the other party's cultivation was so powerful that he seriously injured me with one move. I was then imprisoned and sealed in this place of exile for ten years. In the past ten years, I have been filled with pain and regret. I only blame myself for my poor cultivation and my inability to protect my wife and children. I was wasted as a father and husband!"
The description in the first paragraph is a simple summary of what happened that year and a complaint and regret about one's own incompetence. There is not much useful information, but it is very important. Who is the black-clothed divine envoy mentioned? Why did you want to take away Qin's parents and grandchildren in the first place? Are you going to seal and suppress Qin Tian's brother here
"For ten years here, not a day went by that I didn't think about revenge. I practiced hard and finally broke free from the shackles of the chains. I'm afraid even that guy didn't expect that by suppressing me here, it just happened to fulfill me. It's so rich and rich. The aura of heaven and earth helped me make breakthroughs one after another, and finally escaped and ascended to heaven. He has never appeared again since he suppressed me here. In the past ten years, I have met many acquaintances, many famous people in the world, some even... The seniors who retired a hundred years ago were rumored to have passed away long ago. Unexpectedly, they would be walking on this road.
After breaking free from the shackles, I researched this place all over and discovered the existence of the Bone Burial Ground. I didn't expect that the legendary Land of Return to Ruins actually buries so many terrifying strong men who are about to meet their end. Moreover, many of these powerful people come from the Ancient Heaven, which is another universe, another world, and this is the intersection of the two universes and worlds, and it is the real place of exile. In addition, I also found some secrets about the black-clad divine envoy. Although that guy claimed to be the envoy, I knew that he was actually Xu Fu who opened up this road to the starry sky. This is probably the biggest secret I've discovered about him so far. "
Xu Fu? This guy is still alive? Thousands of years have passed since the pre-Qin period, and this guy has lived for thousands of years
After being shocked, Qin Hao continued to read. This was also the last paragraph.
"It took me several years, but I still couldn't find a way out. Instead, I saw a weird altar in the City of the Dead, which should be the way out of here. I hesitated. I left the earth for more than ten years and was imprisoned here. There are almost no living beings in this place of exile. My family may have considered me dead, so going back seems to be unimportant to me.
I just want revenge, but I understand that with my current cultivation level, I am still no match for Xu Fu. I need a big opportunity! I decided to climb the Heavenly Road and pursue the ancient path of the starry sky. If I could come back alive, no, I would definitely come back alive! ” (To be continued)
