Fairyland Sunshine

Chapter 173 Metamorphosis
Xu Heng pondered for a moment, then reached into his sleeve and found thirty or forty more coins in his hand.

Magic money is the product of the nourishment of spiritual veins. In addition to being used as an equivalent of transaction and for absorbing spiritual energy for spiritual practice, it is also very common as a material for casting spells.

He sprinkled the magic money down, made a hand gesture and pointed it downwards, golden light flashed at his fingertips, and talismans fell into the magic money. Then, strong men with calm faces and strong bodies stood up.

Xu Heng glanced at it and nodded slightly.

This was not the first time that he had used the magical power of summoning spirits and generals. He had tried it before when practicing magic.

He found that it was actually possible to summon more warriors, but the "spirituality" seemed to be diluted, and the summoned warriors became much more rigid.

But that's how magic is. Using magic flexibly under different situations is the most basic skill for a master of this art.

When Xu Heng summoned these strong men, he did not devote too much mana to them, but thanks to the magic energy of the magic money, these strong men still had considerable mana.

Of course, if that were the case, these strong men would not be able to resist the Gangsha monk even for a moment.

However, Xu Heng had already made a plan in mind. He called out a strong man and had another flag in his hand.

This flag was taken from the hands of 'Master Lu Ze'. It can gather the power of the Taoist soldiers.

In fact, if the Taoist soldiers were properly trained, they would have this ability. However, the Taoist soldiers of Master Lu Ze were not of the same kind, so they had to use this kind of strange magic weapon. However, when they fell into Xu Heng's hands, they came in handy at this time.

With the help of this flag, thirty or forty strong men can gather their magic power into one. Not to mention fighting with the Gangsha monk, it is not difficult to resist for a moment. It is enough to give Xu Heng some chance to react.

"Go." Xu Heng threw the flag into the hands of a strong man and said lightly. The strong men immediately took the order and left. They lined up outside the gate of the Immortal Palace and stood still like reefs in the sea, motionless regardless of wind or rain.

Xu Heng nodded slightly, pointed upwards and hung a talisman paper on it. Then he turned around and slowly sat down cross-legged in front of the screen wall.

He did not rush to start refining the restriction, but instead circulated yin and yang, regulating his breathing and qi. After half an hour, he suddenly released his magic power, which surged into the screen wall.

Click——!
There was a strange sound in the fairy palace, and the entire screen wall slowly sank to the ground. The upper edge of the palace, which was originally as high as the dome, also fell down. In just a moment, it had landed in front of Xu Heng.

At this time, you can see the general appearance of the inside through the screen wall, but it seems to be separated by a layer of mist, and it is hazy and unclear.

The principle of this restriction is said to be 'refining', but in fact it is more like wrestling. The magic power of the person who refines it can suppress the restriction, and the shadow wall will fall down.

And only after the shadow wall has completely sunk can one truly step into the fairy palace and absorb the essence of the innate five elements.

Xu Heng remained calm and continued to use his magic power. The shadow wall continued to sink, but the speed became slower and slower. When it was about to be completely submerged in the ground, it almost came to a standstill. It took a long time before it could barely move.

The difficulty of this test was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Xu Heng even had some doubts. Only those whose Taoism, skills, foundation, and Gangsha... were all of the highest level and who were approaching perfection in every step were qualified to enter these five upper palaces.

Xu Heng had tried his best, but he was still a little short of completely suppressing the shadow wall. If he let out a breath at this moment, the shadow wall would immediately rise again, and all his efforts would be in vain.

Fortunately, although he did not cultivate the principles of yin and yang and the cycle of generation through the "Shangying Zhenyang Treasure Sutra" he practiced, his magic power was still very long-lasting, with a sense of "the previous power has not been exhausted, but the subsequent power has already been generated."

Xu Heng thought that if he spent three to five days, he should be able to completely suppress the screen wall with his long-lasting Qi, but he was unwilling to do so.

The more time wasted, the more variables there would be. Moreover, the reason for the appearance of this Immortal Palace was still unknown. What if the Immortal Palace suddenly sank into the sea while Xu Heng was practicing his skills?

This was obviously not what Xu Heng wanted to see.

He silently urged his magic power to push the screen wall down a little bit, but it was still an inch away from being completely sunken, visible to the naked eye. His eyes couldn't help but flicker slightly.

The next moment, Xu Heng shook his sleeves, stood up, and stepped on the screen wall!
With a click, the screen wall seemed to make a shattering sound, and a burst of energy spread out like a whirlwind, blowing Xu Heng's robe into the air.

"Get down!" Xu Heng shouted loudly, and his body seemed to be infinitely taller. A sense of power like a mountain and an ocean surged out. He stomped his foot hard and actually pressed the screen wall into the ground!
Xu Heng's spirits lifted slightly. As he expected, this restriction was just a test of the Tai Shang Palace for its disciples. It was not that complicated. If magic power could suppress it, true power could do the same.

The moment the screen wall completely sank to the ground, the entire fairy palace shook slightly!
Om-!
There seemed to be a flash of inexplicable light, and the palace seemed to have been washed by water. Everything became clear, and all the details were visible.

Xu Heng looked around and was shocked before he could take in the whole picture.

In the hall, five-colored light was constantly flowing. Amid the changes in light and darkness, a shadow appeared in Xu Heng's sight!
"This is...!" Xu Heng subconsciously stepped over the screen wall, walked into the hall, and finally saw it clearly.

This shadow turned out to be a Taoist with his hair in a bun and wearing a purple robe!
This Taoist had fair skin, ruddy complexion, and was full of vitality. His hands were naturally placed on his knees. There was even a hint of a pure and long-lasting Taoist aura, as if he was only dozing and could wake up at any time.

But how could there be living people in this fairy palace that has once fallen into the sea?

Xu Heng took a deep breath and walked slowly closer. His eyes swept over the Taoist's body and soon landed in front of him. There was actually a line of words engraved on this seamless jade surface.

The strange thing is that this line of text is not facing the Taoist, but facing Xu Heng, as if it was left for the "newcomer" to see when it was engraved.

"Taishang Palace Ling Feishuang transformed here." Xu Heng's heart was shocked again.

This Taoist priest was actually born in Taishang Palace. No wonder he was in this fairy palace. Could he be a disciple who escaped when the ancient Taoist sect was destroyed?
As for the 'metamorphosis'...

This is a term some monks use to whitewash their death. To be transformed here, does that mean he passed away here? Did he escape here because his injuries were too severe to heal, or did his immortal palace fall into the sea and trap him to death?
However, when Xu Heng recalled it, he felt that he had seen content about "transformation" in Taoist books. The so-called transformation of form and escape of spirit seemed to be an extremely high level... Unfortunately, there were only a few words and there was no way to verify it now.

In any case, it seems that this person is no longer a living person. However, after the "transformation", his body is not decayed and looks lifelike, which shows that his achievements in life were extraordinary.

Xu Heng shook his head. Even if they were not talking about the sages, they were at least the pioneers on the road. He had no intention of disturbing him. He bowed towards him as a greeting, then withdrew his gaze and decided not to pay any more attention to him.

However, just as he turned his gaze, Xu Heng felt that his peripheral vision seemed to have caught something. He turned his head back suddenly and felt a little horrified.

I saw a line of text appeared on the ground without knowing when!
