Chapter 666 Tiantai Mountain Which Is a Hundred and Eighty Thousand Feet Tall (1/2)
Lady Mother of the Chariot's expression seemed empty. There was no mixture of moods. With only a pointing of the finger, a ray of light immediately stopped Kui Li in her tracks, unable to move even a single step.
All of a sudden, Kui Li's heart was shocked. The mana was incredibly terrifying.
Kui Li could not sense that Lady Mother of the Chariot was like emptiness. Inside Bi You Palace there were countless unseen shadows squeezing unto her body one after another. Those shadows were remnant souls of thousands of celestials from the former years. As of today, they were all gathered into one body.
Shen Lian was already quite close to Bi You Palace. Even though the aura of a thousand celestials was no longer like the rising tides, the vital force that was emitted was far from ordinary. This induced a bit of solemn-ness and respectfulness in his heart.
Jing Shu looked at Bi You Palace and said, ”I would really like to know how appalling Jie Order was back then. Just these remnants of aura in Bi You Palace was enough to tremble the hearts of people.”
Shen Lian replied, ”Quite odd.”
”What is it?” Jing Shu asked.
Shen Lian was silent for a moment. He then blew out a breath of air which shortly after turned into a violent tornado, capable of sweeping away any obstruction in its path. Without anything to stop it, the hurricane charged into Bi You Palace. After a while, a sever explosion was heard.
Jing Shy questioned, ”Is there no restriction outside Bi You Palace?”
”It is not as simple as it looks. The hurricane I blew a moment ago could absorb the surrounding Qi of vitality by continuously rotating but when it reached inside of Bi You Palace, it could not help but scatter itself in all directions. That was why there was such an explosion.” Shen Lian spoke in a low voice.
Jing Shu very quickly understood what Shen Lian meant. She replied, ”Since we are already here, we might as well go in even though we know it to be a trap.”
She was not fearful at all and within one step she reached just outside the main hall of Bi You Palace. Very quickly, she understood the source of the anomaly. Ever since she arrived here, she could not extract even the slightest bit of Qi of vitality from the surroundings. As of now, she could only rely on her own strength as there was no way of acquiring the Qi of vitality from the outside world in order to supplement her.
For Jing Shu who had just gone through the calamity of the Yellow River of nine provinces Formation, it was not good news.
All of a sudden, Jing Shu understood the significance of the Yellow River of nine provinces Formation. It was intended as a pretext to exhaust their energies.
She looked back. Shen Lian was not hesitant to take action. Instead, he similarly arrived just outside Bi You Palace.
He looked at the three words on top of the main hall of Bi You Palace. With each stroke, it all seemed so simple. There was no Dao rhythm and there was also no change. Yet, anyone who saw these words would find them hard to forget.
Dao was most simple, Dao was like the sky – this sentence was encapsulated in great detail in those three words.
Shen Lian was touched by Bi You Palace. It had its origins not only in his own Art of Spiritual Enhancement but also in a particular feeling. Regardless of what happens, he would always have a profound respect for Tongtian Order Master.
Jing Shu did not have that kind of feeling. Most of her feelings came from winning a battle with Buddha.
She looked at Shen Lian and asked, ”Are we entering?”
Shen Lian did not answer but merely started walking towards the flight of steps at the bottom of the hall.
”Tiantai Mountain which is a hundred and eighty thousand feet tall.” Came the chanting of this verse by an apathetic and faintly discernible voice. It was like a cloudless night sky, indifferent and cold.
The stairs were then stretched. Each step was ten feet high and there was a total of eighteen thousand stairs. It was only when Jing Shu started walking up the steps did she realize that the difficulty of the steps was not limited to it simply being hard to complete.
Her first step was very relaxed but on the second step, the pressure abruptly doubled in proportion.
With every step of the stairs, the pressure doubled. The wheel came full circle, as if without limits. Presently, she was still unable to derive the strength from the outside world to benefit herself. It was because of this that each step exhausted much of her own strength.
