Antiquity

Chapter 29 Changes
January passed in a blink of an eye, and there was an endless stream of visiting Shangjun in Zizhuyuan, but they were all sent out by Jingjian tactfully after learning that Qingmu Shangjun was ill and Houchi Shangshen was in a bad mood.

There are still three days until the dragon's breath in Qing Mu's body destroys the spirit veins, but the Heavenly Emperor still hasn't appeared, the atmosphere in the Zizhu courtyard has dropped to freezing point, and the fairy'e and boys who used to like to hang around outside the courtyard are all gone. Seeing Fengran with a gloomy complexion, he wanted to walk around in circles.

Fengran pushed open the door, saw Houchi lying on the bed, staring at Qingmu lying on the bed without blinking, and sighed.

"Houchi, don't worry too much..." Halfway through the sentence, she raised her eyes to glance at Qingmu's pale and transparent complexion, and stopped speaking. Anyone can see that Qingmu's current condition is very bad. , can't last long at all.

"Hasn't the Emperor of Heaven come back yet?" Houchi's low voice sounded beside the bed, weakly.

"Well, Jing Jian just went to Xuantian Palace, I hope to bring back some good news this time." Thinking of the Second Highness who came to Xuantian Palace on time three times a day to report the time, Feng Ran's voice also lost a little bit of cruelty, no matter what, He's always trying to fix it.

Houchi stared at Qingmu, blinked, and suddenly turned his head: "Fengran, let's go to Yuanling Swamp. Since the dragon's breath belongs to the three-headed fire dragon, it should be able to save Qingmu."

Looking at Houchi's bright eyes, Feng Ran couldn't bear it, but still shook her head: "Now the dragon's breath has invaded Qingmu's spiritual veins, if the three fire dragons are promoted to the upper god, maybe Qingmu can be saved, but Now it has been ruined by Qing Mu, and it hates us, it is impossible."

The hope that had just risen in Houchi's eyes dissipated little by little. She turned around and put her hand on Qingmu's forehead. Near the heart veins, it was weird and coquettish, but the dark stone chain on Qingmu's wrist remained motionless, and even his spiritual power became weaker and weaker.

The suffocating silence in the room slowly spread, Fengran's lips moved, and finally stepped aside with a sigh.

After a while, the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door suddenly sounded, both of them were stunned for a moment, looking towards the door, their faces eased when they saw the person coming.

As soon as Jing Jian pushed open the door, he saw two pairs of wide-eyed eyes staring at him unblinkingly, so he took a step back before saying urgently: "God, father is back."

One sentence cheered up the spirits of the two people in the room, and Hou Chi Wu stood up with joy in his eyes: "The Emperor of Heaven is back? Let's go, take me to Xuantian Palace to meet him."

"Wait a minute, Shangshen." Jing Jian stopped Houchi who was about to go out, hesitated for a while before saying: "I just went to Xuantian Palace and found out that my father went to the pilgrimage hall as soon as he came back, and now he is not in Xuantian Palace."

"Pilgrimage Hall?" Houchi stopped in his tracks, read it silently, and said, "What is that place?"

"The pilgrimage hall is above the nine heavens of the fairy world. It is a space with chaotic spiritual power. It is said that the ancient gods stayed when they fell, so it has such a name, but I heard that except for the emperor and the queen, no one can. Go in there." Fengran frowned, never expecting that Qingmu would mention this place, and said after looking at Houchi worriedly.

Gujun Shangshen once said when he left, never let Houchi know that there is such a place in the Three Realms, she was negligent and forgot about it.

"Why can't you go in?" Houchi frowned.

"Because the outside of the pilgrimage hall has formed a barrier since its birth, even if it is a Shangjun with peak strength, as long as he gets close, he will be wiped out." Seeing Fengran's complexion changed, Jing Jian glanced at her before continuing. , but I was secretly surprised in my heart, why did Fengran dislike him so much when he mentioned the Temple of Pilgrimage?
"Ashes and ashes?" Houchi felt a little strange, there was no mention of such a strange space in the Three Realms in the ancient books in Qingchi Palace. "Is there a way to call out the Heavenly Emperor?"

"No, unless someone can go in." Jing Jian shook his head, his eyes fell on Hou Chi, with some deep meaning.

"Jing Jian, what do you mean... let Houchi go?" Feng Ran stared, and immediately raised her eyebrows: "You clearly know that there are many dangers there."

"There are only father and mother there..." Mentioning Tianhou, Jing Jian paused, glanced at Houchi before saying: "You can only go in, so I wonder if it is some kind of rule left by the ancient world, only the gods To get in there unhindered."

Feng Ran frowned, looked at Jing Jian with an unkind expression, hummed and said nothing, her eyes were terribly dark.

"Jing Jian, take me there." Hou Chi ignored Feng Ran's obstruction, got up and walked towards the door, waving at Jing Jian.

Jing Jian's guess is not unreasonable, not to mention that she can't just watch Qingmu's spiritual veins destroyed and become a mortal.

"Hou Chi!" Feng Ran's complexion changed slightly. Seeing Hou Chi's persistent expression, he stretched out his hand to pull, and his eyes became anxious.

"Fengran, don't worry, you stay here and look at Qingmu, I will bring the Heavenly Emperor back." Hou Chi walked towards the door and said to Jing Jian, "Let's go."

Jing Jian nodded, looked at Fengran who looked worried, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will definitely bring her back safely."

The two walked out of the room and disappeared in an instant. Feng Ran sighed, followed two steps and retreated back. When she turned her head, she happened to see a slight movement between Qing Mu's eyebrows.

"Qingmu, you're awake!"

Before he could finish his words, the surprise on Feng Ran's face slowly froze—in the young man's opened eyes, if the golden imprint had any substance, it was vast and majestic, empty and lifeless, just like when he looked at the mountain.

He fixedly looked in the direction where the purple shadow disappeared, his empty eyes gradually became desolate and painful, as if filled with the sadness of thousands of years.

"Houchi, don't become a god...don't become a god."

A low whisper came out of Qingmu's mouth, and there was a look of struggle and pain between his brows, and then the jet black color slowly melted away that touch of gold, returning to normal, and closing his eyes again.

Feng Ran stared at this scene in a daze, a strange feeling came to her heart, she stared solemnly at Qing Mu who had fallen into a coma again, and frowned slightly.

Don't become a god... what does it mean?Qing Mu, who are you?

The Pilgrimage Hall is located in the depths of the Immortal World, covered by a thin black barrier, the scene inside is unreal, but you can feel a strong aura of coercion slowly approaching from a long distance.

Facing the chaotic storm of spiritual power, Jing Jian stopped not far from the barrier. He glanced at the normal-looking Houchi, knowing that his guess was right, and he breathed a sigh of relief, a little fortunate: "God, look Coming here has no effect on you, you should be able to enter, if you find your father, come out as soon as possible, there is not much time for Qingmu."

Houchi nodded, looking at Jingjian with a warmer look in his eyes: "Jingjian, thank you."

Jing Jian scratched his head, with surprise in his eyes, he quickly waved his hands: "No, you must be careful when you go in, after all, no one knows what's going on inside."

Hou Chi nodded, and walked towards the black barrier. Jing Jian saw her walking through the chaotic spiritual power unscathed, and his eyes were filled with emotion.

There are many ancient secret realms in the Three Realms, including the Lookout Mountain and this pilgrimage hall back then, but very few people can break into them, but these two places have no obstacles for Houchi, he is a little puzzled, Could it be that the position of Shangshen that Gujun Shangshen earned for Houchi was the real reason why she could go in and out without hindrance?However, if it is accepted by the rules of the Three Realms, then why is there no name of back pool on Optimus Prime?
The moment Houchi broke through the black barrier, weak spiritual power came out of the void and poured into her body, but it did not dissipate as quickly as usual, but condensed in her body and completely settled down .Houchi was taken aback suddenly, and an unbelievable surprise flashed across his eyes.

If she stays here for a hundred years, her spiritual power will definitely reach the peak of Shangjun. It is unexpected that the pilgrimage hall in the heaven will have such a miraculous effect.

It's just, such a place, why haven't I heard Father God mention it for thousands of years?
An explosion sounded from a distance, and white light appeared faintly. Thinking of the purpose here, Hou Chi calmed down and quickly flew towards the place of the explosion.

This empty space is incomparably vast, and it took half an hour to fly in the back pool before seeing the place where the explosion occurred, where a huge five-clawed golden dragon rose up from the place where the white light shone, and strong spiritual power poured in from all directions. The huge body made the white light even more dazzling.

Hou Chi who rushed over saw exactly such a scene. She was secretly surprised in her heart, and also vaguely understood that the Emperor of Heaven could sit in the Three Realms for tens of thousands of years, and it might have something to do with this empty space.

"Houchi? Why did you come here?" A deep voice came from mid-air, and a white light spewed out from the huge dragon's mouth, landed at the foot of Houchi, lifted her up slowly, and raised her to the height like a golden dragon. Height stopped.

Houchi's expression was a little stiff, but he still cupped his hands: "Emperor Heaven, Qingmu got the breath of three fire dragons in the Yuanling Swamp, and only you can cure him, so I brought him to the Heaven Realm, it's been a month .”

"I didn't expect you to be able to enter here." There was a little surprise in the golden dragon's eyes, and he stared at Houchi for a while before slowly saying: "The three fire dragons are close to demigods, and indeed only the emperor can save him, but if To save him, you must use the original power of this emperor, do you know that?"

Houchi nodded, with a solemn expression: "Emperor, please help." She lowered her head slightly, her purple robe fluttering slowly, her eyes were still stubborn.

There was silence in the empty space, and a sigh was heard after a while: "Houchi, the emperor promises you."

Houchi was taken aback for a moment, and he breathed a sigh of relief. The white light under his feet flashed, and he fell to the ground.As soon as he raised his head, he saw that the huge golden dragon hovering in mid-air had turned into a human form and was floating towards the ground.

"Emperor Heaven, thank you for your kindness to save me." No matter what, the power of origin is too important to Emperor Heaven, and it was beyond Houchi's expectation that he would so simply agree to save Qing Mu.

Seeing Houchi's expression stiff, the Emperor of Heaven sighed: "It's not because of me. According to seniority, you should call me Uncle."

Houchi paused, his brows slightly frowned, but he didn't speak.

The Emperor of Heaven waved his hand and said, "Since you don't want to, forget it, Jing Jian brought you here?"

"How did the Heavenly Emperor know?"

"He went to Yuanling Swamp half a year ago, and he must have met you. With you and Qingmu's temperament, the matter of the three fire dragons should be written by him. Even if Qingmu was hurt by him, I should save him. It's just that , I didn't expect you to be able to enter this pilgrimage hall."

"Emperor Heaven, I don't understand. This is just a piece of empty space. Why is it named after the temple?" Hou Chi looked around with a puzzled expression on his face. If it wasn't for the weirdness of this place, she wouldn't bother to ask the Emperor Heaven.

"Your God Father didn't mention this to you?" The Heavenly Emperor saw the doubts on Houchi's face, and his eyes were slightly surprised.

"No." Hou Chi shook his head.

The Emperor of Heaven waved his hand, and suddenly a stone table and two stone benches appeared in the empty space. He brushed his gilded robe, stepped up and sat on the stone bench, and said to Houchi, "Sit down, since If you are interested in this place, you might as well listen to it."

Hou Chi raised his eyebrows and sat down.

"You should know that the Three Realms we live in today were born in the later ancient times. In the ancient times, there was still a space above the Three Realms." As if recalling that distant and empty time, a trace of disbelief flashed across the eyes of the Emperor of Heaven. Consciously sad.

"You mean the ancient world?" Hearing about the ancient times for the first time, even Houchi felt curious in his heart.

"That's right, the upper part of this empty space is the ancient world. After the ancestor god Qingtian disappeared, the chaotic catastrophe came. The ancient true god brought the other three true gods to resist the catastrophe. Finally, the ancient true god closed the ancient world forever when he was dying, and fell here. place."

"You mean that the ancient true god disappeared here?" Hou Chi was a little stunned, he didn't expect this place to be the place where the ancient true god disappeared. "What about the other three true gods?"

"I don't know, when the calamity of chaos came, the entire ancient world was in chaos. I was just an ordinary god at that time. If the last explosion of the ancient true god was not too terrible..." The emperor paused, his eyes flashed With a strange look, he didn't continue talking.

Even if 6 years have passed, thinking about the catastrophe that destroyed the world still makes people palpitate, and...

Hearing the Emperor of Heaven mentioned the past, Houchi's breathing stagnated, and he felt a little bored and impatient: "Then why is this place called a temple?"

"Because it is said that the temples of the ancient true gods in the ancient world were scattered in this empty space, so this place is called the pilgrimage hall. Although the spiritual power here is strong after the chaos, it is very dangerous. It is impossible to enter the place of God. For 6 years, I have practiced here, but I have never seen the temple of the ancient true god lost in this void space. Well, there is not much time left, you If you are interested in the matters of the ancient gods, I will talk to you later, let’s go out today and talk about it after saving Qingmu.”

The Emperor of Heaven stood up, with a little sense of loss in his eyes, seeing Hou Chi's pensive expression, he smiled.

"Alright." Hearing what the Heavenly Emperor said, Houchi nodded. She was also concerned about Qingmu's condition, and the time since she came in was not short.

The Emperor of Heaven turned around and walked towards the exit of the enchantment, Houchi followed behind him, suddenly, a burning sensation came from her wrist, she stopped, looked down, the dark stone chain trembled faintly, the source The call from the soul seems to come slowly from afar.

The black marks in his eyes flashed past, and Houchi suddenly turned his head and looked at the empty space with a dazed expression.

"Houchi, why don't you leave?" Before hearing the sound of footsteps coming from behind, the Emperor of Heaven turned his head and looked towards Houchi, but he was suddenly stunned, his unmoved face slowly froze, and his eyes flashed hard Confident astonishment.

Golden light spread throughout the entire space, and the empty space seemed to be broken into a tunnel. A simple and simple palace slowly floated from a distance, and stopped above the two of them. The ancient atmosphere enveloped the entire space, and the endless power The pressure radiated from the whole body of the palace, so that the Emperor of Heaven had to take a few steps back.

"This is... this is the ancient true god's palace..." The Heavenly Emperor looked moved, looked at Houchi who seemed to be stunned not far away, and said anxiously: "Houchi, come quickly..."

But Houchi seemed to have never heard of it. She stared blankly at the suspended palace not far away, raised her hand slightly, the clarity in her eyes gradually disappeared, and gradually became chaotic.

The Emperor of Heaven frowned, and stretched out his hand to pull Houchi. Suddenly, a ray of light came out from the palace and landed on Houchi. Houchi slowly rose into the air, and a steady stream of spiritual power entered his body. It's hard to get close to her.

"Could it be that this temple chose Houchi as the inheritor?" Looking at Houchi shrouded in golden light, the Emperor of Heaven murmured, his complexion a bit complicated, and he sighed slowly after a while: "That's fine, Gu Jun , As if I repayed your love, Houchi's spiritual veins are weak, if I can get the power in the pilgrimage hall, I will surely not have the misfortune of dying, and I can be regarded as worthy of you."

"Then Qingmu..." Inheritance is not a one-time thing. Thinking of Houchi's plea and Qingmu's danger in Tiangong, the Emperor of Heaven hesitated for a moment and flew towards the barrier.

After a short breath, the Heavenly Emperor, who flew to the barrier, looked at the dark barrier, and his face finally became serious.

The inheritance ceremony in Houchi actually sealed this empty space, and he couldn't go out.

The Emperor of Heaven turned his head, looked at Houchi covered in golden light in mid-air, and murmured: "Houchi, this time, Qingmu's life is really in your hands."
