Ma Guanshan watched with his own eyes as the icy rock beneath Xiuta City was slowly hollowed out and then steadily maintained without collapsing. He couldn't help but praise the talents of the Unbroken Cult. Compared to them, Master Heavenly Arts was actually inferior in this aspect.
Under this flourishing city of ice, there was no longer a single intact wall of ice. What was still supporting the enormous weight were slender pillars of ice. Each pillar had a Lightning Talisman stuck to it. As long as one of the talismans was activated, the other talismans would also explode the pillars of ice. At that time, Xiuda City would sink three hundred feet. Standing on the construction ring and looking from afar, the tall and slender pillars were like countless whirlpools in the eye of the sea. In the unique quietness deep underground, they were frozen into an indescribable seascape.
Ma Guanshan had only understood a portion of the Meteor Plan. He hadn't gained anything from his days of investigation, but he guessed that Young Master Impermanence was planning on throwing down some fatal object. For instance, the Demon World's Fire Demon Bombs. As long as there were enough of them, they could turn Xiuta City to ashes in just a few breaths of time. But he could only place a small number of Fire Demon Bombs in his universe ring, otherwise they would explode in the void. If he wanted to turn Xiuta City to ashes, he would need an astronomical number of Fire Demon Bombs. No matter what, he couldn't place them in his universe ring. But even after searching the entire underground world, he couldn't find a single drop of ordinary kerosene.
There were only four hours left until dawn. When the first ray of sunlight fell upon the lava lake, the duel would begin. Young Master Impermanence would take advantage of the time when everyone in the city was distracted by the duel to activate the Meteor Plan. In order to not arouse the vigilance of the Heavenly Star List Supernovas, the Unbroken Hell wouldn't even spare the hundreds of thousands of Asura in the city.
During this period of time, Ma Guanshan wasn't thinking about how to stop the Meteor Plan, but the meaning of this action. He finally understood that this had nothing to do with justice or anything else. This was to fulfill his teacher's expectations. But the difficulty of this matter was how to win their trust. There were only four hours left. Even if he ignored the danger of being discovered by Young Master Impermanence and ran to the city to tell everyone that Xiuta City would fall, he would likely be arrested as a madman.
What was worse was that this action would be a betrayal to the Unbroken Hell. At that time, not only would he not be able to save everyone, he would also lose his life. This wasn't worth it.
"Why did you have to choose Molten Fire City?" Ma Guanshan grumbled in his heart, but Young Master Wuchang's voice suddenly rang out beside him, causing him to tremble all over and freeze.
"Molten Fire City is the most suitable place for their duel."
Ma Guanshan twisted his stiff neck and looked back, only to see Young Master Wuchang standing behind him, looking at him with an evil gaze. Ma Guanshan forced a smile and said: "Why do you say that?" If Young Master Wuchang could hear the thoughts of others, then it would be too terrifying. However, that shouldn't be possible. Otherwise, how could Teacher establish a foothold in the Infernal Realm?
Just as Ma Guanshan speculated, Young Master Wuchang stopped looking at Ma Guanshan after saying this. He walked over and stood side by side with Ma Guanshan, looking at the "sea view" in front of him with satisfaction. "Because Xiuta City is special, the Ashura Tribe will not care about the grievances between the Heaven-strategies Pavilion and the Skyrite Sect. Once a private fight occurs in Xiuta City, they will suppress it with all their strength. Obviously, the Dragon chose the Molten Fire Lake so that no one can interfere with his duel with Yan Shifang. This is even more interesting. "
Ma Guanshan suddenly noticed that Young Master Wuchang was holding something in his hand and eating it. It was a blood-colored crystal about the size of half a finger, emitting the same magnificent luster as the soul stone, but it made him feel a kind of palpitation than the soul stone. This palpitation made him wake up.
Memories from many years ago: That was the first time he swallowed human flesh into his stomach. He did not know how long he had been starving at that time. His stomach greedily tore at the meat, but at the same time, because of the psychological effect, there was a strong resistance. The two completely opposite forces tore at each other, causing a strong convulsion, almost making him want to die.
"Try eating one." Young Master Wuchang noticed Ma Guanshan's gaze and reached out the hand holding the blood-colored crystal, smiling evilly and coldly, "You will like it."
Ma Guanshan waved his hand to decline, then pretended to ask casually: "What is this? It looks like a soul stone. "
Young Master Wuchang chewed on the blood-colored crystal, feeling the fine crystal powder that still contained the aura of blood, narrowing his eyes as if enjoying it. "This is a soul stone."
Ma Guanshan said: "I have seen a soul stone, and it is not the same as this."
Young Master Wuchang looked at Ma Guanshan with a faint smile and said: "The difference is, this is made from a human."
Ma Guanshan's heart trembled for no reason, "A human?"
Young Master Wuchang said: "One represents a human life, which is to turn a human into a Starfall Beast and kill them, then you can obtain it. It is a crystal formed from the fusion of a human's flesh and soul essence. But recently, it has become more and more difficult to obtain, the Heavenly Policy Tower is always messing around. "
Ma Guanshan suppressed his trembling and said: "Why do you eat it? To fill your stomach or to increase your cultivation? "
Young Master Wuchang looked at Ma Guanshan with a strange expression, "In the human world, there is something called dried meat, specially made by killing other animals and taking their meat. Dried meat is not your staple food, and it cannot increase your cultivation, so why do you eat it? "
Ma Guanshan was speechless.
Young Master Wuchang smiled and said: "So there is no why, I just like it."
Pa!
Suddenly, there was the sound of shattering stone, especially ear-piercing in the quiet depths of the earth.
Ma Guanshan fearfully looked towards the source of the sound and saw that a small piece of the ice on a pillar had fallen off and smashed into pieces. The fragments splashed onto the ice layer next to it, leaving a shallow mark. When he saw this mark, a ray of light suddenly flashed through his mind, finally understanding the core of the Fallen Star Project. He suddenly turned around and looked at the green wall of ice on the other side. This was the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice at the bottom of the Molten Fire Lake, which had stubbornly resisted the Golden Crow True Flame for thousands of years.
"You thought of it?" Young Master Wuchang said in a low voice.
"Yes," Ma Guanshan also said in a low voice, as if he was speaking of an enormous secret and was afraid that others would hear. "Xiuda City has sunk three hundred feet. Such a height, such a weight, will cause a huge tremor in the ground. The nearby Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice will definitely not be able to withstand the impact, and the Golden Crow True Flame will take advantage of the gap to enter and rule the entire ground. Everyone will die to the Golden Crow True Flame."
"You look very crude, but your mind is very meticulous. I like this about you." Young Master Wuchang said with a low laugh. "But you won't want to ruin the Fallen Star Project just because you're a human, right? The price of betraying the Infernal Realm is not something you can bear. "
Ma Guanshan smiled. "You must be joking. Even if I have the heart, I don't have the strength. Besides, I'm not from the Jambu Realm. What does their life and death have to do with me? "
"I know that you and Lu Yunyin are from the same place.
This is also because he could not bear to leave you alone. Otherwise, given your talent, he would not have taken you as a disciple. "Young Master Wuchang's words were very direct.
Ma Guanshan said, "I have always been grateful."
"Let's go. Let us enjoy the ugliness of these humans before they die from afar."
Young Master Wuchang turned and left. Ma Guanshan took one last look at the cluster of ice pillars and followed. About an hour later, a pitch-black humanoid figure returned. One could vaguely make out the features of Ma Guanshan. This was his' Mahakala Demon Incarnation '. He stood at the edge of the passageway and looked at the countless icicles. He sighed inwardly. Then, he nimbly climbed up one of the icicles and tore down the Lightning Talisman on it.
The moment before the first ray of sunlight shone down, all the Lightning Talismans had been torn clean. Thinking of the consequences of being seen through, Ma Guanshan did not dare to stay a moment longer. He immediately left the surface.
At this moment, the liveliness of Xiuda City had reached an unprecedented level. There was a sea of people everywhere, and the guards could not interfere at all to maintain order. Stampedes and brawls constantly broke out. Of course, those with higher status than ordinary people had been invited to special seats, and could not participate in these events. If these people were to fight, Xiuda City would be overturned by them.
Because the Golden Crow True Flame was wreaking havoc in the Molten Fire Lake, even the proud sons of heaven on the Heavenly Star Proclamation were not willing to challenge that inextinguishable flame at close range. Thus, in consideration of the needs of the masses, Xiuda City had set up over a hundred Shadow Retaining Spheres around the Molten Fire Lake. These Shadow Retaining Spheres used special methods to transmit images back to Xiuda City. It was similar to the Five Elements Great Array, but the core was the Shadow Retaining Spheres.
When more than a hundred giant screens in the city flashed with light and shadow, the noise suddenly dropped by several degrees. The crowded crowd became a bit more peaceful, and they all raised their heads to look at the giant screens.
The giant screen was a giant circular frame, held up high by two thick metal supports. The frame was made of a very special material, made of rocks that had been infused with geocentric magnetism. The special magnetic force would collect the images sent back by the Shadow Retaining Spheres and integrate them into a picture for people to watch.
The giant screen flashed, forming a picture. The scene of the Molten Fire Lake appeared.
The first ray of light shone down, and in front of the raging golden flame, as weak as a child was instantly seized. The Molten Fire Lake wasn't very large. Through the giant screen, one could clearly see the threads of Golden Crow True Flame, like wheat waves in the golden autumn, swaying in the wind. The ice on the surface melted a bit, but was quickly frozen by the powerful freezing power of the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice. The flame could not break through the layer of ice, nor could it leave the area of the Molten Fire Lake. It was like a kind of eternal imprisonment.
The noise suddenly disappeared, and the crowded crowd immediately became still. Everyone's eyes were attracted by the two people that suddenly appeared on the screen.
"It's about to begin!" someone said.
But no one responded. They all stared closely at the two people on the screen.
PS: No matter how unwilling I was, I still finished watching the three parts of the Three Bodies. The second part gave me an incomparable shock, and the third part is hard to describe in a few words. But overall it was still very good, brilliant beyond compare. I really admire Da Liu's structure of the story. Because of this, I also learned something, which is to refine the story in words. This volume currently only has eight chapters. If it was before I read the Three Bodies, I would have needed twice as many chapters to be able to express the story to this degree. I feel that it's especially good now. Oh right, there's only one chapter today. My heart is too chaotic, and I need some space ~ ~
