Chapter 195 194. The destination of the third petal
Li Xi'an opened his eyes, and he was sitting cross-legged in the endless darkness.
In front of you is a huge door that glows with white light.
He passed the true first-level trial. Although it was not what he expected, a deadly battle with the projection in the trial field. The first trial that came to Taihang Palace with Zhu, Da Zhiyi, Tongmingzuo, and Bingfeng was completely different. I don't know whether it was because of the changes in Taihang Palace itself or because of his own reasons.
All in all, he succeeded.
Whether it was a trick or a problem that Taihang Palace itself could not control, he got the result he wanted.
Li Xi'an was in no hurry to pass the huge door in front of him.
He was still sitting there feeling something.
After coming here for a long time, he opened his eyes and felt a little confused. He did not find the third lotus petal in his body. A dream in Kunlun Yaochi sent him to the old Kyushu in the past. He was sure that the reason why that mortal body had power far beyond the world was because of that lotus petal. In that posture, the "past" could kill any true first-level creature at will in the face of irreversible attack.
After eighty years of understanding the Five Elements Killing Technique, he could only forge the Xi Sword without damage after waking up. When he was in the Yangshen Realm, he traveled back to the imperial realm and cut off the emperor's head. The terrifying feeling of not knowing who you are and where you came from disappeared without a trace. In the present world, Li Xi'an took huge risks to activate the lotus petals, but he was unable to recreate the past. It was like facing Kukulkan at the bottom of the abyss, helping him watch the buried history. But even so, he also knew that the bloody petals were the key to something, related to his most core and fundamental "existence".
His consciousness now comes to a certain time period. If the first time was an exception, the second time will definitely not be an exception.
The bloody petals appeared, and the "past" in that posture also possessed power that he could not imagine in this world.
Being based in the imperial realm, he is still unable to face his ancestors.
That is an insurmountable gap at present. Even if he can fight against the true one in his prime, it is only limited to the Yixiangzu under the projection of Taihang Palace, the creature that has just stepped into the threshold of the true one. He is still powerless in the face of the unshakable people who hide in the dark corners of the world and peer at all living beings, and his powerlessness in the face of them will one day turn into a sharp sword and pierce his heart.
What happened in the Yellow River would never happen again.
The strange and unknown lotus petals are his trump card.
The incomplete dharma of the universe comes out from the petals of the lotus. Will each petal reflect a part of the dharma of the universe?
But Li Xi'an waited for a long time, but he still didn't see the third lotus petal appear in his body. That's why he was a little confused. He couldn't understand what this change meant for the time being. The situation and encounters were essentially the same as those eighty years in his dream in Yaochi. In the "dream", under the petals, he could be the enemy of the world by raising his sword.
But the petals didn't appear.
Li Xi'an was silent, thinking.
Since he doesn't have it, he won't force it. The strange petals may be his trump card, or they may be the key to some secret. But without the lotus, he is still the red dragon in the Taihang Mountains. What Li Xi'an was thinking about was...where did this lotus go.
In other words, there is some difference between the two that causes the lotus to not appear like the one in old Kyushu.
"Is it because they are not in the same realm?"
Old Kyushu was also Kyushu, and it was based on the same land as the current Li Xi'an. And that realm is a small world deep in the sea of stars. Is it because of this? If this is the reason, it means that in order to get the petals, Li Xi'an will need to go to the depths of the sea of stars and descend to the general's small world in the future.
He smiled softly in the endless darkness.
It just so happened that he had this plan.
He exhaled, stood up, and patted the sleeves of his robe. The black clothes gave him a sense of belonging in this world.
Li Xi'an walked towards the door.
........."What have you done?" The moment he stepped out of the door, an angry voice came.
Li Xi'an followed the voice and looked over. It was a jade-carved rabbit.
Previously, he learned from the mouth of Shimen Beast Face that there was a central hub in Taihang Palace, and logically speaking, it was also a living being. The situation of Haechi being polluted should not exist. Haechi is the gatekeeper spirit. According to the structure of Taihang Palace, it is also under the protection of Taihang Palace. According to common sense, Haechi will not be polluted. But in the extremely long years that Taihang Palace has gone through from its construction to the present, it has not only manifested once.
It seems that during the manifestation process of Taihang Palace, as the gatekeeper spirit, he was seduced and polluted by things from the outside world.
The jade rabbit in front of him looked at him angrily. It was probably the center of the animal face's mouth.
By the way, even if a rabbit is alive, is it still lively? Li Xi'an thought of the Snow Seven from Daxinganling. Except for the different accent, the expression was almost the same.
The stone rabbit stared at Li Xi'an fiercely.
"After you stepped on the beast's face, Shinichi's projection didn't appear at all! Even the entire Taihang Palace couldn't sense your breath. Then, the door opened! You passed the door without passing the trial. What did you do? ?”
Li Xi'an looked past the stone rabbit and looked around.
The structure here is like a palace, a more majestic and splendid building than the trance palace in Kukulkan.
Eight huge jade pillars stand straight up, supporting this hall. This hall is bright and bright, with a shining "sun" above it. Li Xi'an was certain that it was a sun that had been compressed and then set as a pearl on the top of the hall.
This hall was as spacious as if he had entered another world.
A palace is, after all, prepared for the owner or guests. Li Xi'an's spiritual consciousness extended here, but he found that his spiritual consciousness could not expand, which was exactly the same as what he had encountered at the bottom of the abyss before. This is a place of silence for generations, where the shadow of history is buried.
And if it is a palace prepared for the owner or guests, then how big were the previous visitors here?
"Hey, hey, hey!" Shitu was dissatisfied.
"Why don't you take care of me? If you don't see the guests for such a long time, you will feel lonely."
"So your previous anger was just to chat with me?" Li Xi'an asked, he was always very good at focusing on the key points.
"You can understand it this way. I have to attract the attention of the guests first." Shi Tu was very calm and calm, which surprised Li Xi'an. He had thought that with such a flexible structure, the master in front of him would be similar to Qing Yan. A kind of inconsistent existence.
"How long has it been since no living creature arrived here in Taihang Palace?"
"A long time."
"The Beast Face has told you, Taihang Palace has appeared several times in history from its construction to the present, but it only appeared. No living being can successfully come here." Shitu said vividly.
"Why?"
"Because there is no Taoism in the shattered Kyushu, let alone real-level creatures, even the Ji Palace realm is rare in the history of Taihang Palace."
"In your era, your predecessors pushed it up with corpses."
"It allows you to see as far and high as the old Kyushu, do you understand?" Huoling stared at Li Xi'an's eyes and spoke word by word.
