In front of the Gate of Gods and Demons, the polar night has gradually arrived. The whole world has fallen into darkness, with heavy snow and howling cold winds.
In the eternal darkness, only the lights of the large scientific research bases flickered. The iron nets and high walls locked down the entire area. Although it was impossible to prevent the extraordinary people from sneaking into the Mountain and Sea Realm from other secluded entrances, this largest gate to gods and demons was still controlled and governed by various countries.
Each base is connected to another, and is arranged with formations, spells, and magic arrays. There are also extraordinary people stationed there for a long time.
At this moment, the Gate of Gods and Demons located under the bottomless abyss suddenly flashed with light. Bursts of golden light floated out of the ice cracks and surged to the surface, immediately sounding the alarms in scientific research stations and bases of various countries.
This is the scene of someone opening the door from the world of gods and demons.
All the instruments on the Gate of Gods and Demons were activated, and the influences inside and outside the Gate of Gods and Demons appeared inside each base at the same time.
Even the formation spells were activated at the same time, and figures stood on the edge of the cliff at an extremely fast speed, looking into the abyss below.
"The door has been pushed open again!" A yellow-black-skinned young man wearing glasses and a white coat spoke in English while standing in the snow and ice that was cold enough to freeze a person into an ice stick.
"According to the schedule and the time conversion in the world of gods and demons, the people we sent in should take about a month to return. It should not be the scheduled return time now? Did they complete the mission ahead of time? Or did the extraordinary people from that force return at this time?" Several people who hurried over were among them. One of them was a black woman holding a form and said after looking through it.
"It should be our people who have returned! Let's get people ready!" In front of the big red scientific research base, two middle-aged men in blue thermal suits looked at each other and immediately spoke into the earphones around their necks. Because they were in the ice and snow of Antarctica and had not shaved for a long time, their faces full of stubble stood out.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw rays of light rising from the earth like meteors chasing the moon, and figures jumped out of the open door of gods and demons in the dark underground ice lake and fell into the earth.
Most of the figures fell in front of the red scientific research base, and a few fell among other waiting crowds.
At this moment, Lu Wu was wrapped in a fiery red cloak, and his face was as deadly as black water. He walked inside, surrounded by a dozen extraordinary people wearing the common clothes of the Shaoguoqing clan.
The faces of the people waiting immediately changed. Lu Wu was one of the few top-level extraordinary people in the country. He had entered the Mountain and Sea Realm once, but returned like this.
"Lu Wu? Why are you back? And why is this happening? What's going on? Where's the doctor? And the alchemist, hurry up, call them all over!"
"Hurry up, send the person in!"
The middle-aged man in the lead roared, and the people behind him started running non-stop. The entire scientific research base became busy. The cost of training a top-level extraordinary person, and a loyal and trustworthy extraordinary person, is definitely beyond people's imagination. What's more, even if such a huge price is spent, it is not certain that an extraordinary person like Lu Wu can be trained.
For any force, they are absolutely the pillars supporting the entire organization. For the official supernatural beings, they are the key to maintaining the stability of the domestic supernatural world.
Lu Wu shook his head repeatedly, but coughed a few times, and what came out of his mouth was not blood, but pieces of ice chips: "Cough cough cough! It's okay, I won't die. This injury was caused by a third-level cultivator holding a special magic weapon. You can't heal it!"
Ever since Lu Wu was nearly seriously injured by the Xuanyuan clan's high priest holding the Taiyin Soul-Slaying Hook on the river, he has been in this half-dead state. Even with all the strength of the Shao Kingdom, Lu Wu's injuries cannot be cured.
Lu Wu could only return to the human world, recuperate there, and wait for new discoveries in the world of mountains and seas. He could obtain elixirs and magical recipes from the ruins, or find magical fruits and herbs to heal the injuries on his body caused by the magic power of Taiyin Soul-Slaying Hook invading his body and soul.
At this time, the Gate of Gods and Demons behind them burst out with dazzling light again, a ray of light shot up into the sky and fell onto the ground.
Everyone looked over and saw a man in a black robe with gold patterns landing on the ground. He walked on the snow but did not leave any footprints.
It didn't seem like there was anything unusual happening, but at this moment all the bases near the Gate of Gods and Demons fell silent at the same time. Even the people staring at the screen inside the base held their breath.
Just looking at that face was enough to cause an inexplicable throbbing in their hearts, a mixture of longing, shock, and even fear of an existence that was so powerful that they could not understand it.
Everyone was talking quietly, unable to suppress their inner excitement. To the extraordinary people, those top extraordinary people on the List of Gods were the most dazzling existences in the extraordinary world, far surpassing any idol stars. They were like gods, worshipped and admired by all the lower-level extraordinary people.
"Fengdu! It's Fengdu!"
"He followed out too! Wasn't it only been less than a month since he went in?"
"A true third-level transcendent! Have you seen the video of him and Divine Lord Jia Yi?"
"He and Divine Lord Jia Yi are tied for first and second on the List of Gods. Qingyang Sanren has dropped to fourth. If he hadn't broken through a week ago, he would have dropped further."
"It's really hard to imagine that a third-level transcendent is already so terrifying, and now they have entered the Mountain and Sea Realm again and returned. My God, who else can check and balance them?"
The man paced a few steps, looked around, determined his direction based on the stars, and prepared to leave.
At this time, Lu Wu, who was surrounded by the crowd, suddenly spoke up: "Wait a minute, Fengdu! Now that we are here, why don't you come in and sit for a while and wait for the snow to stop before leaving."
"Invite me in? Are you sure?" Fang Xiu looked at Lu Wu with amusement, his eyes fixed on the dozen or so people behind him, as well as the personnel stationed at the base and the extraordinary people. Each of them unconsciously grasped the magic weapon and talisman, their faces full of fear, and even their feet began to tremble involuntarily.
Each of them knew who the person in front of them was, and they had seen countless information and videos about this person. They were well aware of his strength, power, and various deeds.
But it is precisely because of this that it is even more frightening. If Lu Wu's power is still within their understanding, then Fengdu, the first batch of top-level extraordinary people, is simply an existence that destroys their worldview and imagination.
"In addition to being practitioners, we also share a common identity. We are compatriots, from the same country, and the same nation."
"Besides! If you really have bad intentions, no one here can stop you!"
Fang Xiu smiled and walked straight in. Most of the base was built with simple board buildings with internal heating. There were probably dozens of people stationed there. At this moment, they all ran out to watch the legendary Fengdu.
Until they entered a restaurant that looked a bit like a bar. Soon some specially made spiritual wine and food were served. Since the establishment of the Extraordinary City, the supply of materials at the base of the Gate of Gods and Demons began to become abundant.
What's even more rare is that because this place is the gate to gods and demons, it is easier to obtain extraordinary materials and spiritual materials. It also supplies some special elixirs, spiritual wines, spiritual teas, etc., and some rare things can also be seen here.
Fang Xiu was not polite at all. He drank the golden wine in one gulp and ate the meat and drank the wine in big mouthfuls.
Lu Wu looked seriously injured. After entering the base, the coldness on his body dissipated a little. He talked with Fang Xiu about some interesting stories between the mountains and seas and problems related to cultivation. Finally, he asked, "I heard that there are secrets in the Nether Palace. The Lord of Nether City has bestowed a method of enlightenment. Some people have gained immortality. The Fengdu Immortal Official has lived in the palace for a long time. I wonder if this is true?"
Fang Xiu looked up at Lu Wu, and he knew why Lu Wu kept him here. "You think too much. I am not the master of Youdu yet. The Heavenly Demon Pond in Xianque Mountain is an important place in Youdu, guarded by the Heavenly Demon Yingzhao. No one can enter it except the Lord of Youdu allows."
"But I do have a few spots for the next Nether Palace Demon Banquet. If you can prepare some novel and interesting treasures and offer them to the Lord of Nether City, whether you can get the chance to see the Demon Pool open depends on your luck!"
Lu Wu's face showed ecstasy. When he was sick in Youdu, he had long wanted to meet Fengdu, but Fengdu lived in You Palace and he could not see him. This time he hurriedly took the opportunity to keep him here just for this matter.
"That's enough! We won't take your place in Fengdu for nothing!"
Having said that, Lu Wu's face suddenly turned even paler, and he quickly swallowed a pill that was emitting a fiery red glow. A burst of red flames surged from his chest and came out of his mouth, and his face became a little rosy.
Fang Xiu picked up the wine glass: "Your injury is not light!"
Lu Wu looked relaxed: "The high priest of Xuanyuan clan broke my foundation with one blow, and the energy of Taiyin entered my body. Only with the power of this Spirit Fire Pill can I hang on to a life!"
"But life and death are determined by fate. Whether I can survive or not is up to my destiny."
"In the Yanhuo country of Nanzhou, it is said that there is a fire pill that can heal my injury. There is still a chance."
Fang Xiu nodded: "It's just that my soul was injured by the Taiyin Soul-Slaying Hook. My origin has been damaged. I'm afraid my cultivation will be hindered."
Lu Wu finally revealed a trace of the aura of a decisive warrior on his face: "If this road is blocked, I will open another one!"
"Although martial arts practice combines the immortal path and the demon path, it focuses more on the demon path and the blood, flesh, and soul. Although the damage has blocked my immortal path practice, it cannot block my martial arts practice."
After sitting for a while, Fang Xiu turned around and left without waiting for the snow to stop, turning into a ray of light and disappearing into the sky.
Lu Wu's face finally became serious, full of worry, and he said to the middle-aged man with a stubble on his face who was sitting next to him: "A fourth-level inheritance has appeared in the Mountain and Sea Realm."
The middle-aged man just sat down, and suddenly stood up excitedly: "What?"
The news of the appearance of a third-order transcendent has already caught all major forces off guard, but a fourth-order inheritance has already appeared in the Mountain and Sea Realm, which means that the fourth-order power has begun to become the backbone in the Mountain and Sea Realm. The influence of the Mountain and Sea Realm will also affect the present transcendent world.
Lu Wu nodded and said, "On this path of cultivation, if you take one step slowly, every step will be slow!"
"And for the extraordinary world, whoever is the first to possess the power of the fourth level is equivalent to having the power to destroy others."
"If other forces produce fourth-order extraordinary people first, but we don't, we will be in danger!"
"Just like Abbott, the hostile forces are likely to destroy us first."
The middle-aged man said, "That's why you must stay in Fengdu for a while. When you opened your mouth just now, you scared me. These first batch of extraordinary people are moody and no one knows what they are thinking."
Lu Wu smiled: "We happened to be in Youdu, and we were the first to know the news. Although Fengdu is unwilling to be restricted, we have a friendly relationship with it. Of course, we can't miss this opportunity!"
Lu Wu looked at the direction where the figure was going away and said with emotion: "For him, it may just be a piece of cake, but for us, it is a great opportunity."
