Chapter 62 The Nascent Soul Old Monster's Instructions (Seeking monthly tickets and recommendations)

Li Shizhou found an inconspicuous spot to sit down and closed his eyes to rest.

No more than half an hour later, a violent tremor of the mountain came, and two narrow passages were opened at the entrance of the canyon.

At each of the two passageways stood two stone tablets about half a person's height, with obvious signs of weathering, indicating that they were very old.

The two stone tablets are inscribed with the words "Mystic Crystal Road" and "Lava Road" respectively.

Although the characters are not large, they are simple, ancient, and vigorous.

Li Shizhou, who possessed the "Pure Yang Technique," was unafraid of the severe cold, and thus headed towards the "Mysterious Crystal Path."

The entrance to the passage was only about two zhang high, and even from several zhang away, one could feel gusts of biting cold wind.

As soon as I stepped inside, there was a cracking sound under my feet. The passage had only been open for a short while, but a thick layer of frost had already formed inside, which showed how intense the cold was in the "Mystic Crystal Path".

Li Shizhou added some of the power of the "Burning Heaven Flame" to his protective aura, and his body immediately warmed up. At the same time, he wrapped the purple-gold armor around his body, as this ancient treasure could also insulate against the cold.

He walked quickly forward for more than ten feet, when a blue light curtain blocked his way.

Stepping into the light curtain, a slight dizziness washed over him. Li Shizhou found himself in a world full of ice and snow, with not a soul in sight.

The light screen from before will also disperse and teleport the cultivators to the edge of the "Mystic Crystal Path".

Moreover, this place is subject to a no-fly zone, so flying is not allowed; one can only walk to the end of the canyon.

This is nothing to Li Shizhou, who has cultivated body-refining techniques; in fact, it is a great advantage. If he encounters cultivators who want to plunder him, as before, he will have the initiative to fight or flee.

After looking around for a while, he released his divine sense and walked forward, but he didn't dare to go too fast.

The book mentions that the restrictions in the second level were tampered with by the Star Palace, and many places inside seem harmless, but are actually fraught with danger.

These restrictions cannot distinguish between friend and foe, and will not discriminate against Li Shizhou just because he is a Star Palace cultivator.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, I suddenly felt something moving under my feet.

Li Shizhou felt a chill and quickly moved more than ten feet to the side.

A three-zhang-long ice spike pierced through his protective aura from the ground, its speed no less than that of a flying sword or magical artifact.

The sharp tip of the cone gleamed coldly; that last strike could easily pierce through a top-tier defensive magic weapon.

The moment their feet touched the ground, another disturbance came from underground, and soon another ice spike of roughly the same size appeared.

Li Shizhou could only dodge and weave with bated breath.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, they had already dodged the sneak attacks of thirty or forty ice spikes.

These icicles seemed to possess a spirit, appearing only in the area beneath his feet.

Unable to fly away in this place, if it weren't for his agility due to cultivating the "Pure Yang Technique," he would have been stabbed at least a dozen times, enough to damage an ordinary defensive magic weapon.

They walked for five or six miles before the icicles that kept popping up from the ground finally stopped.

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, Li Shizhou saw a cultivator's corpse dressed in blue robes impaled on an ice spike not far away. The blood that had just flowed out was frozen by the cold air, and several fragments of magical artifacts were scattered on the ground nearby.

It seems this person encountered the same situation, but was simply unlucky or lacked the strength to survive.

Li Shizhou took the storage bag from the corpse to his side, examined it, stuffed it into his clothes, and continued on his way.

at the same time.

On the other side of the canyon is the "Lava Road".

A male cultivator in the mid-stage of Core Formation, with a sallow complexion, wearing a green bamboo hat and holding a white jade bowl, stepped onto a black desert.

.

The green conical hat on his head released a protective shield, completely covering his entire body.

After traveling more than a hundred feet through the black desert, suddenly countless insects with black wings rose into the air all around, emitting an annoying buzzing sound.

The male cultivator's expression changed drastically. He summoned the jade bowl in his hand, and another layer of rapidly spinning white hurricane appeared around him.

After taking precautions, he looked closely and saw that the insects were a swarm of black flying ants, numbering at least five or six thousand.

It had already transformed into a black storm, rushing towards the male cultivator.

In no time, only some tattered monk robes remained on the ground.

The flying ants landed again and disappeared into the black sand.

Mysterious Crystal Path.

Li Shizhou was also in a bad mood. Just now, countless blood-red ice pillars suddenly appeared all around, causing the chill in the vicinity to increase dramatically.

That wasn't the worst of it. Countless monsters were squeaking and surging toward him from all directions, their numbers estimated to be several thousand.

These monsters resembled rats, about half a foot long, with short, delicate silver horns on their heads and silver fur that emitted a faint glow, making them look quite cute.

This beast is called "Silver Rat". It looks harmless, but it is actually short-tempered and fearless.

They often attack the enemy in large groups, fighting to the death.

Seeing this, Li Shizhou summoned the level six Purple-Eyed Bi, which was also unafraid of the severe cold.

He flipped himself onto the back of the Purple-Eyed Bixie, while simultaneously forming hand seals.

A moment later, a series of sharp bird cries rang out, and nine firebirds flew around Li Shizhou and the Purple-Eyed Beast, forming a reddish-gold flame curtain.

In addition to preventing air travel, the restrictions of the "Mysterious Crystal Path" also prevented earth-based escape techniques. The Purple-Eyed Bi could only carry him on all fours and run wildly, while constantly spitting fireballs to clear the way.

The silver rat had already arrived close, lowered its head, and charged at the firebird with its silver horn. The firebird was instantly burned to ashes upon contact, making a crackling sound.

Despite the deaths of so many of their kind, the remaining silver rats showed no fear and continued to charge forward one after another, creating a rather spectacular scene.

Although he was temporarily safe, Li Shizhou had to resist the cold air, and the nine firebirds were also consuming a lot of his magic power. He could only keep taking out pills to restore his magic power.

Riding the Purple-Eyed Bixie for thirty or forty miles, after killing countless Silverlight Rats, the man and the beast finally escaped from the layers of encirclement.

The purple-eyed beast beneath him looked listless, clearly having just exhausted its energy.

After feeding it a few pills, he put it back into his spirit beast pouch and continued walking on his own two feet.

About half a day later.

Li Shizhou appeared inside a simple stone hall.

This stone hall is fifty or sixty feet wide and seven or eight feet high. Each of the four walls has a blue stone door several feet high. In the middle, there is only a teleportation array and dozens of stone tables and chairs.

As soon as he appeared, the Yin Ancestor looked over with a gloomy expression, but when he realized that he was not the person he was looking for, he looked away.

As usual, Li Shizhou found a secluded spot to sit down.

Once the teleportation array disappeared, the stone doors on the four walls slowly rose up, each revealing a blue stone passage.

At this moment, more than ten cultivators had gathered inside the stone hall, including two law enforcement elders from the Star Palace.

The kind-faced elder of the Star Palace said, "Three of these four passages lead to different pavilions where you can take one of the following: ancient treasures, elixirs, or cultivation techniques. The last passage leads directly to the next level. Just a reminder, once you take the treasure, you will have to undergo the test of the wondrous illusion."

After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and sat down to meditate, saying no more.

A moment later, a late-stage Core Formation cultivator chose a bluestone passage and walked in.

Li Shizhou was filled with trepidation. He wanted to avoid the future war between the Reverse Star Alliance, which required him to obtain the complete version of the "Spirit Illumination Scripture," which was also his original intention for entering the Void Heaven Palace.

However, the specific locations of these passages were not indicated, meaning he only had a one in four chance of entering the pavilion where he could obtain the cultivation technique.

Just as he hesitated, a voice transmission entered his ear: "Li Shizhou, you go in last. I have something to tell you later."
