"Chi!"
The flames did not linger on the ice pillar for long. They turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated into nothingness.
This result was not out of everyone's expectations.
Ziye said, "I've tried too many times. I've used all sorts of methods. This ice pillar cannot be broken from the outside."
Xiao Chengfeng did not give up. He slashed with his sword again. The ice crystal was still undamaged.
Ao Cheng frowned. "What kind of ice is this? How can it be so sturdy? "
Daji looked up at the ice pillar. It was immeasurably tall. She asked, "This ice pillar must have a top. Have you flown up to take a look?"
"Yes, it's very high!"
Ziye nodded. Then, she said, "At the highest point … it's a little strange. The ice pillar will disappear."
"Disappear?"
Everyone was surprised. Then, they all rose into the air at the same time and flew up along the ice pillar.
The ice pillar was very tall and did not change. There were no patterns on the ice surface. It was as flat as a mirror.
With everyone's speed, they did not reach the top even after a cup of tea's time.
Fortunately, this dullness didn't continue. When they reached a certain height, the icicles that were originally in front of them suddenly disappeared!
Everyone's heart skipped a beat. They could not help but look down.
When they looked down, they could not see the ice pillar.
They could only descend bit by bit until they were level with the top of the ice pillar. They looked at the spot where the ice pillar disappeared.
This was far from the top of the ice pillar. It was as if … the ice pillar was covered by space. In other words, the ice pillar seemed to extend from another space.
The two spaces were completely separated. Hence, they could only see the extended part. The other part could not be seen at all.
Lingzhu curiously reached out to touch it. She could still touch the ice pillar. However, the place where it disappeared was empty. There was nothing out of the ordinary.
She could not help but say, "How magical."
"Actually, it's not magical. We can do it too."
Huo Feng said, "We descended from the Immortal Realm to the mortal realm. If we use our arms to pass through the Immortal Realm, we can also create this effect."
Daji nodded. "The ice pillar must extend to the Heavenly Palace. No wonder it's called Heavenly Beyond."
She pondered for a moment and looked at Huo Feng. "Sister Huo Feng, do you see anything?"
"It should be a formation." Huo Feng smiled coldly. "To be able to maintain this kind of effect for so long, and even be difficult to damage, I'm afraid that there are very few things that can do that other than arrays."
After she finished speaking, she raised her hand and waved it. A crimson fire lotus condensed in her palm. The flames continued to compress, and soon, there was a golden light circulating within it. As the fire lotus shrank from the size of a palm to the size of a thumb, the flames had all turned golden.
Although the golden flames were small, the terrifyingly high temperature they emitted made even this place of extreme ice feel scorching hot.
As Huo Feng raised her hand, the golden flame immediately floated out and began to burn the corner of the ice pillar.
The small flame only focused on a single point, and the effect was naturally much more obvious.
As time passed, the icicle began to show signs of shaking. Although it did not melt, this change was enough to make people excited.
"There's no doubt that it's a formation."
Daji's eyes flickered. Suddenly, she smiled and said, "No wonder Master wanted me to play the game before I left. It turns out that there was a deeper meaning behind it. This formation, in Master's eyes, is no more than a fun game."
Whether it was to deal with the Falling Clouds Pavilion or to enter the Heavenly Palace, they all needed to rely on formations.
However, the Chinese chess invented by Li Nianfan allowed people to directly face the Great Dao of Formations. It was as if one's body was integrated into the formation, and one's understanding of the formation would increase exponentially. Apart from that, the game contained countless formations and formation variations. It could be said to be all-encompassing.
"Following Master, even if it's only for half a month, all kinds of formations will definitely appear in my eyes!"
"Master is indeed a person who is good at creating miracles. By his side, even the rotten can become the miraculous."
Huo Feng nodded in agreement. Then, she said, "This formation should be a type of absorption formation. It will actively absorb Immortal Qi. Once the formation is damaged, it will use Immortal Qi to repair itself. Because the speed of repair is very fast, it looks like it's not damaged at all."
Flames surrounded her body, and red flames flickered in her eyes. "As long as we break the foundation of the formation, it'll be easy to break it!"
"Everyone, listen to my plan." Daji said, "Although I can't see through this formation completely, I can set up an opposite formation. It will expel Immortal Qi and greatly reduce its self-repair ability!"
"Let's begin! Master has always wanted to see the Heavenly Palace! "
"For the expert, we'll do our best!"
…
Cool Breeze Canyon.
Li Nianfan was traveling on the Virtuous Golden Cloud. Hei Bai Wuchang was by his side, acting as a tour guide. Blood Sea General and Shura Ghost General were on guard against each other. They were resting and fighting with their eyes.
The huge canyon divided the land into two parts. The cracks were not regular, but crooked. Huge chunks of earth protruded out messily, like the mouth of a giant beast with teeth. It looked extremely terrifying.
The canyon was very deep. What Li Nianfan did not expect was that there was a meandering stream at the bottom of the canyon.
The stream was so clear that one could see the bottom. There were cobblestones on both sides, and some herbs grew on the surrounding rock walls. It was an excellent place with good Feng Shui.
Long 'er saw the stream and his eyes lit up. He ran over, took off his shoes, and started kicking the water. "Ah, it's so cool. This water must be from the glacier on the mountain."
Hei Wuchang nodded. "That's right. It flowed down from the Jade Snow Peak in the north."
As expected of a carp demon, he loved to play with water.
Li Nianfan smiled and looked around. He asked curiously, "Brother Bai, where's the Book of Life and Death?"
Bai Wuchang said, "Young Master Li hasn't been born yet."
Nanna was surprised. "Hasn't been born yet? Then how did you know to come here? "
"Not long ago, there was a strange phenomenon here. We sensed that it should be the Book of Life and Death."
Bai Wuchang paused and continued, "Normally, the changes of the heaven and earth would be accompanied by the birth of treasures. Before the Underworld appeared, many treasures were either covered in dust or hidden from the world. They would only appear when they resonated with the heaven and earth."
Hei Wuchang reminisced. "The heaven and earth can nourish all things and give birth to thousands of possibilities. I remember that in the earliest days, people would always hear words like 'Calamity is born'."
"Then do you know when the Book of Life and Death will appear?" Li Nianfan was more honest and asked the question he was most concerned about.
Hei Bai Wuchang frowned and said hesitantly, "This … It's hard to say."
Li Nianfan couldn't help but say, "The phenomenon has already appeared. Why are you still hiding it? It's time for it to appear."
Hum!
Just as he finished speaking, the entire heaven and earth emitted an inexplicable rhythm. There were ripples in the space.
A strange aura instantly shrouded the surroundings. Layers of gray aura began to appear from the void.
'This … is it appearing?!'
Hei Bai Wuchang was stunned. They looked at each other and their eyes were filled with complex emotions.
'Is it a coincidence?'
'Most likely not. After all … the expert obviously didn't want to wait. How could the Book of Life and Death not appear?'
'It's already good that it didn't appear in the expert's hands.'
Boom!
In the next moment, an even more powerful aura burst out from somewhere in the Breeze Gorge!
Above the void, a huge phenomenon of a book appeared.
It was a large projection of a book. The book wasn't very thick. It looked like it was only a thin layer. The cover was blue and simple. The shadow of the book floated in the air and slowly rotated.
Around the book, layers of ghostly aura appeared. It was like smoke, circling in circles.
Li Nianfan looked at the book and was surprised and happy. "The Book of Life and Death has appeared?"
"Yes … Yes."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go and take a look." Li Nianfan's followers all went towards the direction of the projection.
Soon, they arrived at the deepest part of the Breeze Gorge. It was also a small intersection of streams.
The streams slowly flowed to this place and gathered into a medium-sized pool. The pool was glowing faintly. In the middle of the pool, a book that looked exactly like the projection floated on the surface of the water!
The book was shrouded in a layer of dense light. It maintained a distance of an inch from the surface of the water. It seemed to be bobbing up and down.
On the top right corner of the cover of the book, the words "Book of Life and Death" were eye-catching!
"Is this the Book of Life and Death?" Li Nianfan couldn't help but lick his lips. He finally saw this legendary item.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a loud roar came from the crowd.
A ferocious ghost leaped towards the Book of Life and Death with a crazed look on its face!
However, before it could touch the Book of Life and Death, a black light shot out from the Book of Life and Death and enveloped it. In the blink of an eye, the ferocious ghost turned into nothingness. It was as if everything that happened just now was just an illusion.
At this moment, many of the ghosts that were eager to give it a try quietened down.
The General of the Bloody Sea couldn't help but laugh. "Asura, it seems like your subordinates like to die!"
The Asura Ghost General's tone was extremely calm. "Such idiots. If they die, so be it. They don't deserve to be my subordinates."
Bai Wuchang acted as a commentator and said with a smile, "When such a treasure appears, it's connected to the laws of heaven and earth. It's just appeared and it's not stable yet. Rushing over is like a moth flying into a flame."
Li Nianfan nodded and silently stared at the Book of Life and Death.
At this moment, the Book of Life and Death slowly opened.
As the Book of Life and Death flipped, a black vortex appeared in the sky. A vast and boundless aura came down from the sky. The wind howled fiercely and it was almost suffocating.
Visible to the naked eye, thin threads gathered towards the Book of Life and Death from all directions. These threads merged into the Book of Life and Death and turned into names, as well as information such as birth and death.
Each thread represented a person's life.
There were too many names and the speed at which they increased was also very fast. Each name flashed by and Li Nianfan couldn't see it clearly at all. His eyes were going blurry.
This feeling was like looking at a high-speed computer and his brain couldn't keep up.
Obviously, the Book of Life and Death had just appeared and it needed to record the information of everyone in the world before it could start working.
That's right, if it was completely written by hand, it wouldn't be realistic at all.
Li Nianfan couldn't help but say: "It really is like a computer. This is simply loading information."
Hei Bai Wuchang expressed that he didn't understand a single word and could only smile at the side.
There were so many living beings in the world. Although the Book of Life and Death recorded information very quickly, the threads didn't decrease at all. They continuously surged in, densely packed and endless.
As time passed, the sky gradually darkened. How could he keep staring at the Book of Life and Death recording information? Naturally, it was incomparably boring. Li Nianfan's patience had already been worn out.
On the other hand, Ghost Messengers and Ghost Generals were actually able to maintain an interested expression. It was really rare and he didn't know how they did it.
After inviting Hei Bai Wuchang and the other Ghost Messengers to drink a few cups of wine and eat a simple dinner, Li Nianfan yawned and prepared to find a place to sleep.
Nanna very simply and crudely dug a hole in the rock wall. Long'er was setting up a water shield for Li Nianfan.
"That Virtuous Merit Saint finally separated from the team."
Hou Mo, who was hiding in the dark, suddenly revealed a look of joy and said excitedly: "He's too scary, we can't touch him! Lord Demon King, I'll go knock him out and drag him further away so that he won't be a hindrance. "
"Come back here!"
Lord Demon King's face darkened. He lifted Hou Mo up and forcefully shook him, "What's in your head? How can you be so stupid! You already know that he's the Virtuous Merit Saint and still want to knock him out. How much do you want to die! "
Hou Mo reflected for a while before coming to a realization. Then, he revealed an extremely fearful expression. "Lord Demon King, you're right."
The Demon King waved his hand helplessly and said tiredly, "That's enough. You'd better stop talking. Hurry up and go set up the trap. Remember, you must exclude the Deluxe Merit Saint from the game and ensure his safety. Don't have any contact with him."
"Lord Demon King, don't worry."
