Chapter 833 Silver Mountain Core (4600)

Taixu’s magical power is activated.

The gloomy and dark wasteland suddenly changed into a snowy field with undulating mountains and white frost. Under the bright sunlight, the abandoned floating fortress in the sky was slowly moving, and there was a faint blue fluorescent mist in the forests among the mountains. It was a high-concentration spiritual evil that was almost materialized.

Break through the barrier between heaven and earth, and directly bring the territory of one world to another world, overlapping and merging the two worlds.

Such magical power caused the spiritual evil between heaven and earth to boil at that moment, transforming into waves of ice-blue vitality, spreading in all directions.

“set off!”

After a brief silence, the hundreds of teams from different colleges and companies in Chonggang Town surged like the Yangtze River and like a school of fish, they rushed in all directions along the wave of vitality.

In Chonggang Town, the announcement of the Four Cities Competition Committee was still repeated: [Remember that in this competition, friendship comes first, competition comes second]

[The ranking of each team is determined by the number of Taixu nodes opened. All the gains obtained in the ancient ruins, including Taixu power, spiritual essence, heaven and earth true energy and other strategic resources, belong to the individual. If you need help, you can withdraw from the competition through the Lingxu Jade Pendant Contact Committee.]

[This competition will not be timed. The first scoring will be conducted before all teams have opened 3,000 Taixu nodes, and the second scoring will be conducted when all teams have opened 12,000 nodes…]

The committee’s announcements were repeated, but few people listened to them in full, as most people flocked out as soon as the barrier was lifted.

The ancient immortal ruins are dangerous and mysterious, especially the area they landed on this time, which is located on the inner side of the [Autumn Frost Sky Window], that is, the snowy mountains and jungles wrapped in an iceberg, named [Silver Mountain Core]. It is a completely unfamiliar core area of ​​the ruins with a large number of Yan puppets from the Daoting era and evil spirits and strange beasts from later times.

If it was a normal ruins exploration, the team would certainly be extremely cautious, but in the current atmosphere, under the temptation of resources such as the “Power of the Void” that were originally blocked extremely tightly and even the big families found it difficult to obtain frequently, these dangers had long been forgotten.

People are rushing forward, fearing to be slower than others, which means they are always slow.

But An Jing doesn’t need to roll, so naturally he’s not in that hurry.

He stood on the wall of Chonggang Town, looking at the crowd in the sky calling out flying shuttles and various flying magic tools, pouring out towards the outside world like covering the sky and the sun, and shook his head slightly: “At least look up.”

Sure enough, the moment the team rushed out, unusual movements occurred in the heaven and earth.

As the ‘abandoned floating fortress’ in the sky suddenly lit up with spiritual light array patterns, the ice-blue mist suddenly condensed, and in the minus forty degrees and even colder wind, tens of millions of ice crystal spears were condensed and then poured towards the front of the competition team like rain.

Caught off guard, the leading teams immediately used magic to resist. The ice crystal spears were not very powerful, only at the initial stage of foundation building, and were easily resisted by various means. However, these frost spears were endless and the quantity was unbelievable. Soon the defense of one team was broken, and several people were injured and pierced by the spears, so they had to retreat in embarrassment.

Until this moment, a neutral voice with an orthodox Taoist tone resounded throughout the world.

[Exceeding speed is prohibited in the Central Core Area]

“The Dao Court formation in the central area is still in operation!”

“How come there was no information at all before!”

Angry roars and exclamations rang out one after another. Obviously, because of the wrong impression of the periphery of the ancient immortal ruins, most people could not imagine that the Taoist temple formation and related rules here could actually be enforced.

As soon as the competition started, blood was seen. Some people were even injured so badly that they could only call on the jade pendant and were teleported back to the Tianyuan Realm by the Taixu method, and had to give up the competition.

Suddenly, all the teams that had taken off arrogantly and rushed around landed obediently and slowed down – although they suffered a loss due to lack of intelligence, they learned a lesson by watching others suffer losses, at least they now understand.

It was not until then that people discovered that the ‘mountains’ in the snowfields were not normal mountains. They were huge, rugged, and sharp-edged. Their peculiar shapes and tilted angles completely violated the laws of natural mountain formation. Their arrangement was so regular that it was not natural at all. They rose and fell one after another and echoed each other, like an ultra-giant array plate, magnified thousands of times and laid on the ground.

None of the teams from real universities and big companies were in a hurry to set off. They were all patiently preparing and observing, and even taking out equipment to record the shapes and arrangements of these “mountains”.

Apparently, they not only received intelligence in advance, but also had additional tasks.

After the team in front retreated, the automatic defense system did not pursue them. In Chonggang Town, a guarding Immortal could not help but sigh: “It turns out that young people are still the best. For Immortals like us who already have the mark of heaven and earth and are in harmony with Taixu, I’m afraid it won’t be this kind of warning, but a direct strike from the Heavenly Frost Tribulation Thunder.”

An Jing heard these words.

Behind him, Zhang Zhuo and Xu Yue were casting spells, releasing drones that slowly took off to observe the situation. Nian Quan’s eyes flickered. His spiritual pupils were water-attributed, which was just right for the current environment, so he could see many details clearly: “Look, these snowfields and forests are all ‘evil creatures’ that grew later. The true form of this mountain… is beyond imagination!”

“Yes, indeed.”

An Jing also saw that among the mountains in the distance, under the black and white carpet woven by forests and frost, some towering mountains had strange gaps, as if they had been gnawed by some giant beast. Inside those gaps, silver metal structures stood out. They were huge, like the giant transmission structure of a Ferris wheel, flashing blue and orange sparks.

The so-called snowfields and forests are nothing but “dust” and “moss” that have grown due to a long period of lack of maintenance.

Its true essence is the [Silver Mountain], a heaven and earth array constructed by countless metal mountains!
“let’s go.”

An Jing looked at the other large companies and families that were setting off one after another, and without hesitation, he led the team to choose a direction. He raised his hand, and a modified shuttle appeared. Everyone boarded and then set off at a moderate speed.

“Okay, let’s get going too!”

Behind An Jing and others, several teams that had been paying attention to An Jing also chose to set off.

Although no one admits it, An Jing is now in the core team that everyone is paying attention to. His actions will naturally become a signal for other teams to take action.

For a moment, inside and outside Chonggang Town, teams that were far more elite and powerful than the original ones took off into the air and flew in the directions of their own choice.

Although the initial momentum that surged like the Yangtze River is no longer there, the more cautious team is now like mercury flowing on the ground, silently blending into the entire secret realm.

[Our mission is to find the Taixu node and draw in the power from the headquarters. If we can find the Taixu channel that goes directly to the center, that would be the best, but it is almost impossible to do so. Therefore, the Taixu power that overflows from the Taixu node is also very important and is also very beneficial to achieving the Purple Palace.]

In the communication, Principal He was instructing the four people other than An Jing: [You can absorb as much Taixu power as you can. Even this time, some older disciples from aristocratic families have made special efforts to join the team just to get on this train. Refining a large amount of Taixu power in the ancient ruins, achieving the Purple Palace, and opening up the Taixu nodes is secondary.]

[Advancing in the ancient Taoist ruins has been proven to be extremely beneficial for the future. The soul and supernatural powers will be purer and clearer, and the heavenly tribulations are said to be less.]

After instructing several people, Principal He said to An Jing: [As for An Xuan, you can do whatever you want. We trust all your decisions. The support of the college is in the jade pendant and can be mobilized at any time.]

“It seems that this cave is in a very bad state.”

Fu Xie had been using An Jing’s eyes to observe, and now he said, “The so-called cave heaven is a small world opened up in the endless void by a Heavenly Venerable who is at least at the level of [Primordial God]. Therefore, the whole world is filled with condensed power of the void.”

“Breaking through here can indeed better sense the True Void beyond the Heavens, which is extremely beneficial for breaking through the Purple Mansion.”

“The power of the void is dissipating and becoming a resource that can be absorbed by you. This means that the cave is being damaged. The invisible Dao has fallen and turned into a visible spirit. The area with the power of the void must also be the area where the void is weak. The Tianyuan high-level officials asked to bring in the void nodes. I am afraid that they want to use the power of the Tianyuan world to erode and control the ancient ruins of the immortals.” “It’s just like the action of the Tianyuan world’s true lord to transfer the entire Chonggang Town to the ancient ruins of the immortals. Such a huge amount of power was spent. It must not be for the sake of being handsome, but to drive the power of the Tianyuan world into the ancient ruins of the immortals as a wedge, and then use the void nodes to take over the ancient ruins of the immortals bit by bit… This is the prelude to the ‘World Conquest War’.”

An Jing seemed to be thinking: “The Immortal Ancient Ruins definitely cannot have no reaction, they must have a response.”

Fu Xie was also sure of this: “This is the hidden danger. This competition is very complicated.”

“Does anyone come to the Ancient Immortal Ruins just to break through the Purple Palace? Yes, once you become a real person, even in the cannibalistic world of Tianyuan, you will at least be able to sit on the table. It is indeed worth a gamble.”

An Jing looked at the jade pendant in his hand. Every faction would give some support and trump cards to the students representing them, and Jingwei Academy naturally did the same. It contained a receiving array pattern, which could receive Director Chen’s magical power [Sky Track as String and Star as Arrow]. It could use the power of skylight as a guide to shoot arrows across the void, and it had multiple functions of attack, recovery and defense. In simple terms, it was a more convenient remote support divine communication device.

“I don’t need it, you guys can use it.”

An Jing transferred the authority to others, and he closed his eyes and waited.

Soon, as the shuttle gradually moved away from Chonggang Town, with the fluctuation of Taixu power and the interference of Yinshan on the signal, the originally smooth communication gradually became noisy, and even detection could not be heard. This could only be restored after the Taixu node was opened. Before that, only a few words could be transmitted with difficulty.

When the distance was too far to hear a few words, An Jing opened his eyes and calmly ordered: “Turn around, let’s go after them.”

“it is good.”

Huo Qing, who was in charge of controlling the shuttle, immediately turned the shuttle and flew rapidly towards the coordinates provided by An Jing.

No one asked why.

An Jing’s target was naturally not anyone else, but the young man who possessed a part of the Fallen and Evil Sword Intent, Zhou Changhe.

In this Four Cities Competition, it may seem that the contestants are only at the Foundation Establishment stage, but in fact, in addition to those young geniuses in the open, there must also be some latent elites entering. Their goal is to break through the Purple Mansion, and to have a Purple Mansion soul that is more in line with the essence of the ancient immortal ruins, in order to push forward the progress of the plan behind it.

These people are the elites that the corporate families can control 100% – as for controlling the younger generation themselves, don’t brag about it. This is how it is in the cultivation world. The better the talent, the more disobedient they are, and those who are too obedient basically have poor talent.

In addition, there must be some mysterious forces that sent their secret hands into the ruins. They must also use the power here to break through the Purple Mansion, and then gain greater power to complete their tasks.

An Jing has his own Taibai battle armor, so even if all of these people advanced, let alone if they did not advance, he has the confidence that he can knock them down with a punch or an elbow. But if there is a chance, he can let Taibai Haoling’s divine ban break through the Immortal Purple Mansion, or let him find a way for the immortal martial arts practitioners to advance, that would naturally be even better.

But now, we must focus on the core target first.

Zhou Changhe’s existence confirmed An Jing’s previous guess, that is, the ‘Sword Handle Fuxie’ has the ability to communicate with him and choose him as the sword master, so do the other fragments of Fuxie have this ability? Although the other party does not hold the fragment, the sword intent exists, and this must be asked carefully.

The shuttle flew by, An Jing and Fu Xie locked the coordinates, Huo Qing steered the ship, and the others observed the surroundings, recorded data, and drew a new map on the dashboard.

The Silver Mountain hub is very vast, and the ancient immortal ruins are indeed a vast small world. Along the way, we encountered no less than twenty Dao Court aerospace fortresses that were like floating mountains. These ancient war fortresses were enough to prove the glory of the Dao Court in the past. Some of them still had extremely violent spiritual reactions inside, and they should still be in operation.

However, while flying, An Jing suddenly frowned: “Why did it suddenly speed up?”

In his lock, Zhou Changhe’s original speed was the same as everyone else’s – the flying speed was limited in the ruins, and many people were unsure of the limit, so they flew relatively slowly. However, An Jing had Fu Xie, and he knew very well that the maximum speed was twice that of Lei Yin. By maintaining this speed, he could slowly catch up with the others.

But suddenly, Zhou Changhe’s speed suddenly accelerated, far exceeding the theoretical flight limit.

This can indicate two things.

First, Zhou Changhe had indeed concealed his strength. He was definitely not a simple foundation-building cultivator.

Second, he had already gotten off the shuttle and landed on the ground, so he was able to accelerate to a speed exceeding the limit.

“I want to leave the shuttle.”

An Jing stood up. Although Huo Qing was a little confused, he still pressed the button. Suddenly, the seat where An Jing was sitting sank, the cabin door opened, and he fell down at high speed like a meteorite.

But before the meteorite fell to the ground, it suddenly drew an arc, stirring up snow waves hundreds of feet high on the ground. Then, as a platinum light flashed and a vacuum whistle sounded, An Jing flew away at a speed of five times the speed of thunder, chasing after the other party.

“Ok?”

Soon, An Jing arrived at the coordinate point where Zhou Changhe suddenly accelerated. He glanced around and suddenly his eyes focused on a hill.

There, there was a huge explosion crater, and in the center of the crater, the wreckage of a shuttle was still burning slowly.

Seeing this, An Jing frowned slightly. He slowed down and came to the wreckage of the shuttle, and Fu Xie suddenly said, “Demonic energy.”

“A monster died here.”

An Jing raised his sword and made a slash. The metal shuttle wreckage separated voluntarily rather than forced, as if obeying its master. What appeared in front of An Jing were four corpses turned into charcoal.

An Jing raised his eyebrows. He could easily see that the heads and bodies of these four bodies were all separated, and they were all beheaded at the same time.

But this doesn’t surprise An Jing.

What really made An Jing raise an eyebrow was the identity of these “corpses”.

“Demon.”

He whispered, and with a casual move of his finger, the charcoal covering the surface of the corpse was shaken off, and the mottled outer shell fell off, revealing a hideous appearance and a bone and muscle structure that was very different from that of humans.

A demon disguised as a human.

An Jing’s mouth curled up, he narrowed his eyes, and felt that things were indeed getting interesting: “It’s really unexpected – as expected, I said that the demons couldn’t be silent.”

But there is more to it than just this.

buzzing…

Shortly after An Jing arrived at the wreckage of the shuttle, three shuttles came flying towards him from all directions, one in front and two behind, accompanied by bursts of buzzing sounds.

They surrounded the wreckage of the shuttle and the tranquility around the wreckage in silence.
