Chapter 325: Frozen Corpses Everywhere, Touching the Ascension Platform, the Iceberg Melts

"Only by injecting a large amount of the power of the divine stone into the body can one pass through these barriers."

Yun Qinghe said as he looked at the flame barrier covering the entire island.

"Sacred stones are easy to talk about. I have many here."

Lu Mingyuan took out a lot from the Tianzang gold bag and handed it to the monks in Dayan.

As for those who have used up the remaining sacred stones, they can only watch helplessly.

Lu Mingyuan considers himself not a philanthropist, and he has not yet reached the point where the sacred stone can be used randomly.

All the monks present who had divine stones could not wait to enter the island.

Sui Yuqing, Qi Muxue, and Nanli monks under Li Muwan have already taken the lead in exploring.

There were hundreds of people on their ancient boat, but only about 80 people landed on the island in the end.

Some of those who were not strong enough were still left at sea by the embodiment of evil thoughts on the way.

Lu Mingyuan could only save the monks from the Great Yan camp, but there was no way to save everyone, so sacrifice was inevitable.

These eighty people were retained despite Lu Mingyuan's massive attack.

If other forces had come all the way here, they might not be able to survive so many people.

Lu Mingyuan used the power of the divine stone to pass through the barrier seal on the island, revealing the true face of this ascension ruins.

There was a dark world in front of him, the wasteland was desolate, and dilapidated halls were piled up everywhere.

A lone moon hangs high in the sky.

Everything here seems so huge, whether it is pillars, palaces, or thresholds, they are all hundreds of meters high.

It seems that there are a group of giants living here.

The black Guixu Jinghai passes through this island, forming many small streams. The mountains are full of hollow rocks, and when the strong wind blows, they will make a faint whistle.

The ground was covered with corpses.

These corpses looked extremely huge, with a skeleton probably hundreds of meters long.

There is also a keel among them, which is actually a thousand meters long. If you don't look carefully, it looks like a continuous mountain range.

There is also a 100-meter-long cow skull, and the sharp horns can also emit a faint light.

But one can feel the terrifying power emanating from these corpses.

They are obviously corpses, but their auras seem to have not dissipated and they are still standing between heaven and earth.

Lu Mingyuan looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but sigh: "It's quite shocking. It deserves to be an immortal ruins."

Yun Qinghe also glanced around and said with concentration: "These corpses should be creatures from the medieval era. Their strength is very close to that of gods, that's why their bodies are so huge."

Lu Mingyuan glanced at the rushing stream and said to himself: "So what are the gods and Buddhas in the sky, and what kind of existence are they?"

The river exudes a permeating aura, and I don't know what is contained in it.

Yun Qinghe shook his head: "I don't know, I just know that the so-called gods are a group of guys who have lived for a long, long time. They may have existed since the beginning of the world. They have mastered the road to immortality and can dominate everything in the world."

"Isn't that the Creator?"

Lu Mingyuan thought.

"Creator. Such a strange description, but very appropriate." Yun Qinghe murmured softly, nodding slightly in approval.

For a moment, Lu Mingyuan's mind was filled with thoughts.

In an instant, he seemed to realize something.

The ascension platform is actually hidden in a place like this.

Plus all the obstacles and consequences along the way.

Thinking about it from another angle, the person who installed the ascension platform may not want people to find the ascension platform.

That's why the ascension platform was hidden.

If so, would it be a good thing or a bad thing for this world that he came to find the ascension platform and take it away from here?

Soon, Lu Mingyuan stopped thinking about it.

Even if he doesn't do this, the demon clan will still do it.

The same is true for Daomen.

Perhaps the birth of the Ascension Platform itself is a disaster for this world.

And he wanted to fight for a glimmer of hope in this catastrophe.

"Your Majesty, look!"

At this time, Yang Zhaoyuan's exclamation interrupted Lu Mingyuan's thinking.

Lu Mingyuan immediately looked up.

I saw a huge iceberg rushing down the river, making a "puff" sound of water flow.

"It turns out these icebergs flowed out of the island."

Lu Mingyuan said in surprise.

Among the icebergs, there is a ferocious-looking pig demon, wearing a blue armor and holding a broken knife with animal patterns. Even though he is dead, his eyes still exude a terrifying aura. He is definitely a demon king.

"This pig demon is Gangzhu's subordinate, not a medieval creature."

Yun Qinghe recognized the origin of the pig demon at a glance and said solemnly:

"It means Long Jian has arrived at the true location of the ascension platform."

Lu Mingyuan said unexpectedly: "Can you also see this?"

Yun Qinghe nodded: "These ice corpses should have just been formed, so they are not that huge yet, comparable to the size of ice cubes."

"No matter what, let's meet up with the Queen and the others first. She said before that she would leave marks along the way for easy meeting."

When Lu Mingyuan heard what she said, he knew the urgency of time and immediately released his consciousness. Sure enough, he found the mark of Confucianism and Taoism's righteousness on a skeleton.

"Now that I have the breath of Haoran's righteousness!"

Lu Mingyuan was overjoyed.

With Qi Muxue and others exploring the path in advance, his efficiency will be much higher.

Lu Mingyuan found several marks and found that the route was all the way up. He immediately gave the order:

"Go all the way up along the river and head towards higher ground. Time is limited. You must reach the top of the mountain within half an hour."

"yes!"

The monks of the three academies all activated the talismans they carried to hurry on their way.

On the way, they found that there were many white spots floating on the wider riverbed.

As they got closer, a lake soon appeared in the center, and everyone finally saw clearly that each white spot was actually an iceberg.

There were at least thousands of icebergs in front of them. At a glance, the mountains were stacked one layer after another, which was very spectacular.

What was even more shocking was that there was a creature in each iceberg in the lake, some were humans, some were monsters, and some were actually plants and some strange ancient creatures.

Inside the deepest iceberg, there was an ancient purple gold tree more than 3,000 meters high, emitting a brilliant purple gold light.

The iceberg was quite magnificent, and the part exposed above the water was more than 7,000 meters high.

This tall appearance made people feel like kneeling down.

"This seems to be a sacred tree."

Lu Mingyuan realized that everything here seemed to be not simple.

Everyone was shocked by the scene before their eyes. There were too many frozen creatures. Some of them had been preserved from ancient times until now. Their bodies had not decayed and they still looked like they had been for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years.

A young Qigong practitioner from the Third Academy came to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, there are many treasures on these ice corpses. If we can break these ice blocks and take out the treasures, then our Great Yan will surely double its strength."

Lu Mingyuan looked at the armor and swords on the iceberg creatures, as well as many innate magic weapons, including some ancient relics and immortal artifacts.

However, his face was a little serious, and he transmitted his voice, "The treasures on these ice corpses cannot be moved."

"Why?"

Some Great Yan cultivators were puzzled.

The owners of these treasures are dead, and now they are ownerless. Why can't they be taken?

Lu Mingyuan also found it difficult to explain to them.

He had seen the hexagrams and knew that more precious treasures would be born later. These magic weapons were good, but not easy to take.

All in all, he had a bad feeling.

The hexagram only mentioned two opportunities, but did not mention these iceberg creatures.

From this, it can be inferred that the things in these icebergs may not be opportunities, but may be life-threatening things.

Lu Mingyuan said lightly: "If these treasures can be taken, why didn't the demons move? It means there must be danger, and they will die if they move."

"In addition, many of these ice corpses are ancestors of the ancient human race. They fought against gods, demons, and demons, and sought a way of salvation for the human race. For us, they are pioneers and heroes. How can we take their magic weapons without authorization?"

"We have just entered the ruins. There must be more precious opportunities ahead. Why waste time here?"

The Qigong practitioner heard this and said with shame: "So that's the case. Your Majesty is far-sighted. I am narrow-minded."

Under Lu Mingyuan's constraints, no one of the Great Yan monks wanted to take the equipment of these iceberg corpses.

But the other monks who came in later did not have such awareness.

After seeing the frozen corpses, each of them had a gleam in their eyes, and they used their magical powers to break the iceberg and plunder the armor and weapons on the ice corpses.

But they did not encounter any danger.

Yun Qinghe glanced back and said calmly: "You are right. People who covet treasures will only pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelons if they enter here. There are too many treasures here, and they can't take them all. If you stay here, you will only miss a greater opportunity."

Every creature frozen in the iceberg has a treasure on its body, and any cultivator will be tempted when seeing those treasures.

If a cultivator spends all his energy on collecting treasures, then it is normal for him to die in the abandoned deep sea.

Everyone understands the truth, but there are very few people who can restrain their greed.

Once the door of greed is opened, it can never be closed again.

"So many treasures!"

"Oh my god! It's worthy of being a fairy relic. Every magic weapon is a top-notch innate magic weapon!"

"That seems to be a purple gold sword-raising gourd from ten thousand years ago. There are only a few in the whole Middle-earth world, and I can see it here."

Many cultivators were so excited that their eyes turned green. They stared at some treasures in the lake, smashed the iceberg with magic weapons, and began to collect the treasures inside.

Lu Mingyuan ignored them and had already reached the top of the mountain.

But he found that the mark left by Haoran Zhengqi suddenly disappeared.

"Could this be the location of the ascension platform?"

"It should be. The direction guided by the seven-colored divine mist is also here."

Yun Qinghe's green jade fingers kept calculating and nodded slightly.

Lu Mingyuan continued to walk forward and found that many corpses appeared on the ground.

Most of them were corpses of the demon clan, and there were still residual Dao Qi on them.

This means that they were Taoist Qi practitioners. Lu Mingyuan guessed that it should be Sui Yuqing who did it.

Continue to move forward.

On both sides, there appeared stone walls that were hundreds of meters high. The contents on the stone walls were different, as if they were telling some stories.

The stories and patterns on them looked familiar, but Lu Mingyuan couldn't remember where he had seen them before.

The murals had a magical power. Lu Mingyuan felt a splitting headache after just one glance. His sea of ​​consciousness was immediately drained, and his mind was empty. He almost fell down.

Yun Qinghe saw this and stepped forward to support Lu Mingyuan.

The faint fragrance of a strand of hair entered Lu Mingyuan's nose, and he immediately felt much more energetic.

"These murals are all carved by the most powerful people in the Middle Ages. They contain extremely strong Taoist essences. You cannot look closely. The medieval war was really not that simple."

Yun Qinghe explained this.

"Your Majesty, you are finally here."

At this time, a slim figure in black and white Tai Chi robes and a whisk in hand walked out from the front.

When Lu Mingyuan saw the visitor, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Fairy, why are you the only one here, where is Muxue?"

"She is helping Shenshu Bodhisattva to fight against the demon army. Your Majesty, hurry over there. The demon clan has discovered the ascension platform, and the senior chess master is fighting against Long Jian."

Sui Yuqing explained very seriously.

"Let's go over and have a look."

Lu Mingyuan took the lead and walked in front.

Before taking a few steps, I could already feel the ripples of spiritual energy in front of me.

Ahead, a golden tree full of golden light appeared on the horizon, still hundreds of meters away from him, and a peaceful and stable saint's Tao Yun rushed towards him.

The chess master was really in the void, with his left hand raised high, his fingers glowing with golden light. An illusory chessboard like a shadow slowly emerged from the palm of his hand, shooting out two black and white auras and injecting them into the golden tree.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth exploded instantly, revealing a chessboard of heaven and earth that was 10,000 meters long and 1,000 meters wide.

The power contained in the chessboard is unparalleled and can easily shatter even stars.

Lu Mingyuan witnessed the saint's action with his own eyes.

For a moment, my mind was shaken, and I could only think of the sentence "when gods fight, mortals suffer".

But the man with dragon horns and golden eyes opposite him had a calm expression and his sleeves were trembling slightly.

Above the clouds, there is a body of law that is tens of thousands of feet high, emitting a sacred blue light. The clouds and mist are condensed out of thin air. Watching the fairy aura floating in the sky is daunting.

The red blood dragon ball in the palm exudes the ultimate black and yellow aura, which is the black and yellow aura from chaos and contains the supreme way.

The two of them fought for a moment, one attacking and the other defending.

The trembling power of the avenue rippled away, and a vertical wave of air swept across the entire mountain top, making all the spiritual energy within a hundred thousand miles agitated.

Amid the roar, the sea of ​​clouds collapsed, the earth cracked, and a pale white mark was left in the sky.

"This is the Fourteenth Realm."

Lu Mingyuan murmured. He felt that he was already strong enough and his realm was infinitely close to that of a Martial Saint. However, in front of the top fourteen realms, he was still as small as an ant.

He couldn't help but think of Wei Laojiu's words back then.

If you are lucky enough to reach the twelve realms one day, you will know how vast the world is.

"The ascension platform is behind the top of this mountain."

Yun Qinghe's eyes were sharp. After looking at the two powerful men, two natal avatars of the Demon King realm stood guarding them.

They should all be clones fabricated by Long Jian using secret methods, and they are quite powerful.

"Where's Duxue?"

Lu Mingyuan turned around and asked.

"It's right at the entrance of the cave where the ascension platform is."

Sui Yuqing's eyes flashed.

Lu Mingyuan didn't say much, narrowed his eyes, and said through the voice: "There's still half an hour, rush over!"

Everyone present was shocked when they heard this.

I didn't expect that the always steady Holy Lord would adopt such a crazy method.

There are two strong men at the top of the Fourteenth Realm standing in front of me blocking the door. How can I get in?

"Don't be impulsive. The ascension platform is right in front of you now, so why rush."

Yun Qinghe also persuaded.

"Because the ascension platform is right in front of us, we must not hesitate."

Lu Mingyuan took out the Divine Sword Zhu Xie and the Great Jiewu Holy Armor, and once again absorbed a piece of Divine Meteor Blood Jade in his palm to restore his vitality.

"Let me help you." Sui Yuqing said softly.

"good!"

Lu Mingyuan glanced at her and finally agreed.

While several people were discussing.

The location of the cave entrance and the location of the colorful divine mist exudes a fairy power.

The rhyme of the avenue spreads in all directions.

The shadow of the thirty-third heaven appeared in the sky.

A golden gate is located on a large white cloud. It is tall and majestic. It is very majestic. The gate is dark green and made of colored glaze. It has a bright divine light, just like it is made of precious jade.

"It is rumored that the Ascension Platform is a supreme divine object that connects to the upper world. It is indeed well-deserved."

Yun Qinghe's eyes widened when he saw this scene.

"The human race is now in a battle between trapped beasts and cannot hold on for long."

The skinny snake man retracted his gaze from Long Jian and began to collect the treasures from the corpse on the top of the snow mountain.

The ancient corpse lying on the ice is an old man wearing a golden python robe. He looks to be in his sixties. He is a prince. He has been dead for who knows how many years?

Just when the snake man went to get a jade pendant from the waist of the ancient corpse, the ancient corpse's pupils suddenly opened and shot out two black beams of light, penetrating the snake man's body and leaving behind two wine glasses. Big and small blood holes.

"What. Dead body alive. Come here."

The snake man let out a scream of terror, and then fell straight down into the cold river water.

A moment later, an iceberg rose from the sea, and the snake man's body was frozen inside the iceberg.

The screams alerted other demon monks.

The shore of the Ascension Ruins.

More and more ancient boats are landing.

A graceful and beautiful woman walked out of it, dressed in light blue palace clothes. She looked like a goddess. She stuck out her long tongue, looked at the movement on the top of the mountain, and sent a message to the demon army behind her:

"I'm going to find out what's going on. You continue to intercept the human monks coming from the sea. You must not let other human beings get close to the ascension platform!"

She stepped on one of the huge icebergs, raised her head and flew up, turning into a beautiful shadow, flying towards the direction of the golden light.

If there were other human beings here, they would definitely recognize her.

This beautiful woman is the famous Nine Thrones, the Snake Concubine.
