Chapter 1153 Purple Sky Fragments (Part 2)
Xu Changqing did not deliberately not answer the high priest Luo's inquiry, but because the pressure from the Heavenly Palace had a great impact on him and even affected his mood.
As the sailing boat under his feet became closer and closer to the Heavenly Palace, the pressure brought to Xu Changqing by the powerful existence in the Heavenly Palace became stronger and stronger. It seemed that as he approached, the strength of this guardian-like strong man was also increasing layer by layer. When he was on the floating island just now, the strength of the strong man was probably equivalent to the realm of Hedao Dixian, but now the sailing boat had just traveled halfway through the cloud channel. The strength of the strong man had reached the realm of the strong man, and there was no sign of this growth stopping.
If Xu Changqing is still confident that he can take down the powerful person in the realm of Hedao Immortal Realm with his own means and the final killer move, then when the opponent's strength is increased to the realm of the Supreme Immortal Realm, his chance of winning will be reduced to about 30%. If the opponent's strength continues to improve, he will surpass the Supreme Immortal Realm and reach the realm of the Small Heavenly Immortal Realm, or even higher, then his only chance of winning can only be expected to be able to hit the opponent by protecting his life.
What made Xu Changqing even more strange was that it seemed that only he could feel the invisible pressure and power aura brought by the guardian in the Heavenly Palace. The others around him, whether they were the gods and warriors in the inner circle of the sky or the gods and warriors in the Earth Ruins, had no feelings about this.
The pressure formed by this power aura is not targeted at all. All existences entering this power aura are surrounded by this power aura. If you can feel this power aura, then everyone should feel it. The only explanation for this situation is that Xu Changqing is essentially different from others around him. This difference is reflected in the bloodlines of both sides. It seems that the guardians in the Heavenly Palace are inherently rejecting the bloodlines other than these divine tribes.
The high priest Luo did not get any answers from Xu Changqing, but he was able to infer from Xu Changqing's expression that the place they were heading was very dangerous. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but lean against Xu Changqing anymore, as if standing next to Xu Changqing could make him feel safer.
Xu Changqing did not stop the high priest Luo's small movements, nor did he pay attention to the high priest Luo's worries. Instead, the leader of the other tribes of the Cycloid next to him looked at the high priest Luo with great surprise. Because the high priest Luo's small movements undoubtedly showed the relationship between the two of them, even the slowest person could see the mystery.
Although all the high priests who participated in this trip were rejected and suppressed in their respective tribes, and their status and strength were also the lowest among many high priests, no matter how they were at the bottom, they were still the high priests, and they were still very noble, and they would never be able to bow their heads to an ordinary tribe. At present, the misalignment of the master and slaves made many people around them suspect that Xu Changqing's identity was probably not a so-called "sacrifice", but had a higher identity. However, people with such an identity hid their identity and participated in the God-Subsiding Festival of the Dixu Divine Clan, which must have hidden some secrets, or in the Heavenly Palace, there are benefits that are enough to make a powerful high priest willing to take risks.
The misunderstanding of Xu Changqing's identity caused other high priests and hunter leaders around the surroundings to make wrong judgments, and also caused them to have other thoughts, and the original plan changed as a result.
About a quarter of an hour passed, and the Heavenly Palace, which was originally just a spot of light, was already close to it. When the speed of the floating boats approached the Heavenly Palace, they gradually slowed down. Under the leadership of the leading sailing boat, they skillfully landed on the large platforms outside the Heavenly Palace.
The entire Heavenly Palace is like a sky palace surrounded by a ring. The rings on the outside are somewhat like petals, with semicircular platforms opening outwards, and on the inside are huge gates. Each gate city has a huge arch, but there is no city gate. Only a purple light curtain like water waves fills the city gate, constantly undulating and changing. On the city wall platform above the arch, there are no buildings such as the city gate tower, but a huge monster stone sculpture. These monster stone sculptures are either lying quietly or roaring to the sky, with different shapes, so that anyone can easily remember it after seeing it.
For the surrounding gods, these stone sculptures are just scary and realistic stone sculptures, and they do not think that these stone sculptures are real, because they have never seen the monsters represented by such stone sculptures in other worlds.
But for Xu Changqing, these stone sculptures are real ferocious beasts, at least when these stone sculptures were still alive. These stone sculptures are all the most ferocious wild beasts in the ancient times. From their huge shapes and some unique characteristics, it can be suspected that each of these stone sculptures’ strength during their lifetime will not be much weaker than the Daluo Jinxian. As for a single wild beast, they have already stood at the top of many similar species.
However, all of these powerful ancient wild beasts were petrified in an instant without resistance, and placed here as beast-suppressing objects. Over the years, the remaining vitality in the body disappeared bit by bit, and eventually died completely, and turned into some stone sculptures. This torture that could not move for tens of millions of years and could only look at the torture of slowly dying, and even Xu Changqing felt chilling.
Although these ancient wild beasts have completely died and become no different from stone sculptures, the remaining aura in front of them is still left in these stone sculptures, creating a powerful pressure. However, the gods in this world cannot feel these pressures at all, and only Xu Changqing was affected.
Because of this huge city wall that is hundreds of feet high, people standing on the platform cannot see the main body of the Heavenly Palace behind the city wall. Everyone can only see the thin clouds when they approach, and see a blurred prism-shaped main body of the Heavenly Palace.
Compared to others, Xu Changqing's divine consciousness is obviously better used. Because of the special nature of this world, his divine consciousness has not been suppressed at all. The closeness to the divine consciousness realm of the Daluo Jinxian made him almost suspiciously ignore the various prohibitions on the city wall, cross the city wall, and investigate the situation inside.
Inside the circular city wall, an olive-shaped body of the Heavenly Palace stands in the center. It is not appropriate to say that this Heavenly Palace is olive-shaped, because it is a smooth and huge mirror inside the ring. The conical body of the Heavenly Palace is just in the center of the mirror. The real body on the mirror and the reflection virtual body under the mirror form an olive-shaped shape.
The reason why reflection was included in the Tiangong building was because Xu Changqing could feel that this huge mirror was actually an innate spiritual treasure. Xu Changqing was not very clear about what the function of this innate spiritual treasure was for the time being, but one thing is certain, that is, this treasure can transform the objects included in it into virtual and real.
On the surface, the Heavenly Palace on the mirror seems to exist, but because of the effect of this innate spiritual treasure, it is no longer possible to judge the virtuality and reality of an object through the naked eye or divine thoughts. Perhaps both are false, or perhaps both are real. More importantly, this innate spiritual treasure on the mirror has two sides, that is, the Heavenly Palace under the mirror may also have problems with virtuality and reality.
If the cone-shaped heavenly palace is considered one, then there are four heavenly palaces in front of Xu Changqing now.
Except for the number of Heavenly Palaces that Xu Changqing could not determine, he could not completely determine the shape of the buildings in the Heavenly Palaces. Because the shapes of the buildings above the four Heavenly Palaces are constantly changing, from flying eaves and lofts to small courtyard pavilions, from towering halls to small courtyard neighbors, Xu Changqing's spiritual thoughts swept the scene they saw a moment ago. After his spiritual thoughts are transferred to other places, they will immediately change their appearance when they sweep them back.
However, no matter how the building shape changes, the buildings in Tiangong always maintain the style of ancient Chinese architecture.
In addition to the architecture of the Heavenly Palace that attracted Xu Changqing's attention, another thing also made Xu Changqing wonder, that is, when he came down from the floating boat and his feet landed on the platform below the floating boat, the guardian of the Heavenly Palace, whose power aura had reached the half-step Daluo realm, suddenly disappeared. All the pressure and power aura disappeared from Xu Changqing in an instant. If it weren't for the tension caused by this power aura on his body, he might have thought that his previous feelings were just hallucinations.
Xu Changqing did not think that the guardian of the Heavenly Palace was deliberately restraining his power aura, nor should it be that the platform played a role in isolating the power. Instead, it was when his feet landed on the ground, and the hidden mechanisms of the ancient magic circles on the platform were accidentally touched, causing changes in the Heavenly Palace. Because when he realized that the guardian of the Heavenly Palace disappeared, he tried to return to the floating boat, and even so, the aura did not reappear.
This change made Xu Changqing quickly think of the phenomenon that the real and virtual reality of the mirror in the Heavenly Palace was difficult to distinguish, which made him wonder if he had a special aura different from the God-born clan, which touched some magic array, and transferred the guardian of the Heavenly Palace on the mirror to the illusory heavenly palace inside the mirror. In this way, it made sense that Xu Changqing could not feel the power aura and pressure of the guardian.
Compared to standing on the platform and looking around, the somewhat at a loss of time in the inner ring of the gods came. After the prepared gods of the divine warriors came down from the floating boat, they immediately came to the huge arch, and stood in various magic circles in the square in front of the arch according to certain directions and rules. Then they opened the water bag hanging around their waists, poured the blood in them on themselves, sat cross-legged, and recited different scriptures.
