Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 326: Fire Virtue God

Chapter 326: Fire Virtue God

Behind the light gate, Su Yun and the others walked on this strange path behind the gate.

Under their feet was a high solitary bridge, floating in the sky, with strong winds howling and slapping their faces with gray ashes!

Behind the light gate was a world filled with swirling gray ashes!

Soon, everyone was covered in a thick layer of ashes.

The bridge in the sky was also covered in gray ashes, and they had to exert force to move forward.

The whole world was covered in a hazy gray, with a cloud sea formed by gray clouds in the sky. Those clouds were like gray ashes.

There were shadows of floating islands in the cloud sea, with different shapes, and it was unknown how they were floating in the air.

And the floating islands were connected by long bridges. If there were no floating ashes in the air, this place would be as beautiful as a fairyland.

Su Yun could smell the scent of ashes in his nose and lungs. He activated the Winged Dragon's Heavenly Eye to carefully observe. He saw that there were palaces standing on those floating islands, and the long bridges were like rainbows and dragons, shuttling through the gray clouds.

This whole world seemed to be buried in burning ashes!

Su Yun carefully observed and his face changed slightly. "Is this the world behind the Heavenly Gate? How did it become a ruin?"

The scene in front of him was somewhat similar to the scenery of the world behind the Heavenly Gate, but upon closer inspection, there were many differences.

Su Yun had been to the world behind the Heavenly Gate countless times. Since he was stabbed in the buttocks by the Immortal Sword, he became more timid, but he had still been there more than ten times.

He was extremely familiar with the layout of the world behind the Heavenly Gate, and although this place looked somewhat similar to the world behind the Heavenly Gate, there were subtle differences in the actual layout.

This place seemed more like a world in ruins, without any signs of life. The whole world was buried under the ashes.

"So, is this the real Immortal Realm?"

Su Yun was a little confused. "Yan Qingzhou said that the Heavenly Gate designed by Qu Bo and the others was wrong, and it summoned another world, causing Qu Bo and the others to die. Yan Qingzhou meant that the Heavenly Gate of the Fire Virtue God was the real Heavenly Gate. But what if the Heavenly Gate designed by Qu Bo is the real Heavenly Gate..."

In his mind, the Immortal Realm should not be like this.

Yan Qingzhou and the others were also disappointed. This was a complete passage. The passages they found in the Heavenly Tower were all broken. But after finally finding a complete passage, they didn't expect to arrive at such a world.

"The text on the Chao Tianque said that the Fire Virtue God held a grand ceremony in the place closest to the Immortal Realm, to listen to the heavens!"

Yan Qingzhou said disappointedly, "The place where the Fire Virtue God held the grand ceremony should be here. But why is it so dilapidated?"

Su Yun was stunned when he heard this. "This is not the Immortal Realm, but the place closest to the Immortal Realm?"

He suddenly remembered that the Winged Dragon had once said that the floating ashes were the aura of the Immortal Realm, and the closer they were to the Immortal Realm, the stronger the aura of ashes.

"But why is the aura of ashes stronger the closer it is to the Immortal Realm?"

Su Yun was full of confusion in his heart and thought, "Then what is the world behind the Heavenly Gate in my eyes? It doesn't have any ashes, so what kind of world is it?"

They waded through the ashes and continued forward. The ashes in the air were falling one after another. Looking down, they could only see the hazy sky and earth, unable to see anything else, not even the mountains and rivers.

Finally, they arrived at the Immortal Palace in the cloud sea. Su Yun looked around at the layout and thought, "This is indeed a place for ceremonies."

There were four Immortal Palaces, standing in a circle, with an altar in front of each Immortal Palace. In the center of the four Immortal Palaces, there was also an altar, covered in ashes.

Everyone arrived at the altar in front of the first Immortal Palace and activated their divine abilities to sweep away the ashes on the altar, revealing rune grooves.

Su Yun recognized the runes and marks of the Glutton and the Taowu. There were a total of twenty-four sets of marks.

They swept away the ashes on the altars of the other Immortal Palaces, and each altar also had twenty-four sets of marks.

Finally, they arrived at the central altar. Dumb Stone Zhenbei took a deep breath and blew it out, blowing away the ashes on the altar like dark clouds!

Ying Ying was recording and when she saw what was under the ashes, she couldn't help but exclaim and quickly hid behind Su Yun. The other book monsters also screamed and hid everywhere.

In the ashes stood a statue of a god king, over ten zhang tall, pierced through by a metal spear and nailed to the altar!

This deity was nailed here, but still had a lifelike appearance. Su Yun had already flown in front of the giant and was examining its face.

Ying Ying flew out from behind Su Yun with courage and exclaimed in surprise, "Su Scholar, his appearance is somewhat similar to Doctor Dong's true face."

Su Yun carefully observed and indeed, the eyebrows and eyes of this deity were somewhat similar to Doctor Dong. He couldn't help but wonder, "Doctor Dong has been looking for his clansmen. Could it be that his clansmen are not from Tian Shi Yuan, but from here? Then what is the relationship between this deity and Doctor Dong?"

Yan Qingzhou and the others also looked closely and exclaimed, "Indeed, it looks a lot like Dong Xinglin."

"He is... the Fire Virtue God!"

Beside Yan Qingzhou, a small book monster opened a book and said, "Among the information I previously recorded, there is a picture of the Fire Virtue God."

Everyone gathered around to take a look and indeed, they saw a picture that looked very similar to this god who was nailed to death.Just then, the mute senior brother Shi Zhenbei's face changed dramatically, raising a wooden sign. On the sign were words that read: "The seal has been broken!"

"Even the seal here can be so easily broken?"

Yan Qingzhou and the others couldn't help but change their expressions, exclaiming: "Does the Shen Tu Demon God possess such formidable power?"

Su Yun couldn't help but think of Luo Yujin, his face also changing as he said in a deep voice: "Take away the body of the Fire Virtue God, we must leave this place immediately!"

Behind Luo Yujin, Shen Tu was riding a black tiger, his face fierce as he looked at Wu Tong, then glanced at Jiao Shu'Ao.

Jiao Shu'Ao remained calm and composed.

Ahead, several experts from the Tongtian Pavilion were breaking through the seals, delving deeper and deeper.

Not long after, they arrived at the light gate. Luo Yujin examined the light gate, his face changing dramatically: "Wrong, it's not here!"

The several experts from the Tongtian Pavilion were all stunned, their faces filled with confusion. One of them, proficient in the language of the Ashen Tribulation, said: "Supreme Holy Emperor, this is the place of sacrifice, and the Pavilion Master from overseas is also heading straight here!"

Luo Yujin examined the light gate, his expression fluctuating: "This leads to the Northern Crown Great Wall. When the Heavenly Market Wall collides, it won't hit here. What I'm looking for is something that fell when the Heavenly Market Wall collided with the planet Yinghuo. This thing naturally wouldn't be in the Northern Crown Great Wall!"

He turned around abruptly, staring at the people behind him: "Apart from you and the people from the Yuan Shuo Tongtian Pavilion, are there any other experts from the Tongtian Pavilion who also followed the heavenly ship to Yinghuo?"

The several experts from the Tongtian Pavilion looked at each other.

The expert from the Tongtian Pavilion who had been observing the movements underground with his demon eye bowed and said: "Replying to the Supreme Holy Emperor, indeed, there are a few other good hands from the Tongtian Pavilion who have also come here. However, the person they are following is..."

He broke out in a cold sweat, not daring to continue.

Luo Yujin turned and walked away, laughing: "The person they are following is our overseas Pavilion Master, right?"

The several experts from the Tongtian Pavilion didn't dare to speak, lowering their heads and following him.

"Good! Very good! I thought the Pavilion Master from within the sea was a cunning and scheming old fox, but he overlooked what was happening right under his own eyelids, and was tricked by that little girl!"

Luo Yujin laughed heartily, quickly walking away, saying: "This little girl, even I and the Pavilion Master from within the sea were deceived by her. At this moment, she must have already succeeded! Good! Very good! She is indeed my disciple!"

Shen Tu hesitated for a moment, not following him, but instead looked at the light gate, entered it, and chuckled: "Their family affairs are none of our business, let's catch these few delicious spirits for a snack..."

He took off the peach wood bow from his back and grabbed a peach wood arrow.

At this moment, Su Yun and the others were struggling to pull out the metal spear embedded in the chest of the Fire Virtue God. The metal spear was incredibly heavy, and when it was pulled out from the chest of the Fire Virtue God, it made a clanging sound, continuously shrinking until it was the size of an embroidery needle.

The embroidery needle made a 'ding' sound as it was stuck in the altar, and everyone tried to pull it out, but no one could.

Just then, Ying Ying made a discovery, exclaiming: "The Fire Virtue God is holding something in his hand!"

Su Yun rushed forward, and indeed, the Fire Virtue God was holding something in his hand, like a jade ring.

Su Yun took the jade ring, which was taller than him and about half a foot thick. It was carved with tadpole-like characters, much more complex than the Ashen Tribulation script.

"It looks like a celestial talisman."

Yan Qingzhou examined it, saying: "Legend has it that celestial talismans are a type of talisman formed from the recorded words of the gods. However, what is recorded in the celestial talisman requires time to study."

"There's no need to study it."

Shen Tu rode his black tiger over, laughing: "You will all die here soon, why bother studying these useful and useless things?"

His eyes were filled with greed, falling on the celestial talisman, he laughed: "Yujin went to find the treasure that fell from the Heavenly Market Wall, that treasure is also a celestial talisman, hehe, he doesn't know that the real good stuff is here!"

"Whoosh!"

An arrow shot towards them, and in the next moment, it was in front of Su Yun. Without thinking, Su Yun threw away the celestial talisman and took out the head of the Demon God Fei Lian to block in front of him.

At the same time, in another underground palace, Luo Wanyi respectfully took another celestial talisman from the altar and put it into her spirit realm, turning around and leaving quickly with several experts from the Tongtian Pavilion.

Everyone quickly boarded the small heavenly ship, Luo Wanyi said to Cang Jiu Hua: "The Moon Pavilion Master ordered us to save more scholars, I'm afraid we'll have to trouble Brother Jiu Hua."

"Not at all." historical

Cang Jiu Hua bowed: "I will not fail the trust placed in me."

The heavenly ship broke through the sky and left.

Luo Wanyi looked at the increasingly distant Yinghuo continent, thinking to herself: "Father, even though you have abdicated, there are still too many gods and demons following you. I, I am uneasy... But with this treasure, the gods and demons following you will follow me."

A smile appeared on her face, she entered the cabin, changed into men's clothes, and thought: "Pavilion Master from within the sea, I hope you can survive. I am still waiting to compete with you. However, I'm afraid you will never be able to leave this land again."

She gently tilted her head back: "Defeating you is just that simple."
