"Then... I'll help you?" Hearing that Jiang Lu couldn't hold it anymore, the greedy cat Lu Qing was eager to try.
"It's not this." Jiang Lu waved his hand solemnly, which was rare, and then walked towards Huang Xiu'e's mouth in the puzzled eyes of everyone.
He opened Huang Xiu'e's mouth, and everyone realized that dark clouds had gathered outside since they had no idea.
"I seem to..." Jiang Lu was a little nervous, but also a little expectant: "I will also have to go through the True Immortal Tribulation."
Chapter 378 Tower of Trial
"You also want to survive the True Immortal Tribulation?"
Although the situation outside was indeed very intimidating, Dong Wanggong obviously did not believe it:
"I admit that it's a tribulation, but it's a true immortal tribulation... Even if you have the foundation for creation, only one true immortal can be born in the Three Pure Ones, right? My sister is still alive."
Hearing this, Jiang Lu's eyes showed some doubt.
Thinking of this setting, he also felt a little strange.
But now his perception is countless times stronger than before. He can clearly judge that the thunder tribulation he is about to face carries the same dangerous smell as the Queen Mother of the West experienced when she was going through the tribulation.
He sensed it carefully again and immediately realized something.
Slowly looking down, he said seriously: "It is a true immortal tribulation, but... it is not from the Three Pure Ones Realm."
"What do you mean?"
Everyone was puzzled and came closer, standing in Huang Xiu'e's mouth and looking down in the direction where Jiang Lu was looking.
They didn't see anything strange at first glance, but soon found something strange.
Unlike when the Queen Mother of the West was undergoing a tribulation, where thunderclouds gathered from the sky, Jiang Lu's tribulation actually came from below.
The sky is clear above, but it is chaotic below.
"What's going on?" Even Hong Yi didn't know why this happened.
Jiang Lu seemed to know it well.
He patted Huang Xiu'e and signaled her to take him down.
"You'll know when you go down," he said.
Seeing how serious he was, everyone could only hold their words back even if they wanted to ask him the reason.
Because Jiang Lu seemed a little different now. Although there was still a strong sense of absurdity in his every move, his inherent aura was always radiating, constantly reminding them of Jiang Lu's extraordinaryness.
Hong Yi, who was standing behind Jiang Lu, looked at Jiang Lu with some concern.
She felt a little uneasy about this change in Jiang Lu.
It was not because he was unhappy about the changes in Jiang Lu, nor was it because he was worried about the upcoming thunder tribulation.
It was just a kind of panic similar to that felt by middle-aged Runtu when he saw Brother Xun again many years later.
She had never seen this side of Jiang Lu, so she didn't know if he would become an unattainable figure like Yuanshi Tianzun, or if he would go ashore and strike with the first sword to kill his beloved first?
She is like this, not to mention Lu Qing.
Xuannv and Hongyi were already out of her reach, not to mention the Queen Mother of the West and the King Father of the East who were above them, not to mention the Lord of the Underworld who was even higher than them and their siblings.
Perhaps Xuannv was the only one who was relatively relaxed at this moment. She did not think about these things. All she could see was the thunder tribulation and the heroic image of Jiang Lu who rarely kept silent.
Because she knew that Jiang Lu was someone who could sneak to Kunlun Mountain to play real-life galgame during his tenure. Even if he started over again, no matter how his state of mind changed, he would never forget his original intention.
While the three of them were thinking about their own things, Huang Xiu'e had already passed through the layers of thick fog and dark clouds and descended to the ground.
They are now approaching Gaishi Mountain, an area that Dong Wanggong is very familiar with.
In his impression, this should be a deserted deep mountain forest with steep mountains and ravines stretching for thousands of miles.
But when he saw the scene clearly, he was stunned.
Under the gloomy sky, a desolate and majestic building complex stands on the dark land.
The towering city walls are covered with intricately carved reliefs. The broken bricks and stones seem to be telling the story of past glory and present desolation. The heavy city gates are half open, as if inviting lost people passing by to enter this deserted royal city.
Standing outside the city gate and looking into the city, the roads in the city have become bumpy due to age, and the mottled city walls are covered with moss. The city is empty, and a storm brewing with terrible thunder roars through the desolate streets, wailing about the prosperity of the past.
It has obviously turned into a ghost town, but there are no roars of ghosts or the hustle and bustle of humans. Only the echoes of history linger among the ruins. The air is filled with a suffocating ancient atmosphere, as if even time has solidified here, leaving only these buildings, silently telling the stories of the past.
In the center of the royal city, there is a spire that towers into the sky.
It is more than ten times taller than the city wall, and except for the four large characters "Tower of Trials" the rest of the words engraved on it have long been weathered away.
But even though it is full of traces of the passage of time, it still exudes a majesty that cannot be ignored. It is like a witness to this den of ghosts, quietly recording the footprints of every visitor but never speaking.
"This is..."
Scythe was also shocked by this once glorious and magnificent city.
Unlike the Sanqingjie city of today, the buildings in this city are very old and elegant, as if they came out of historical records, or it can be said that it itself is a part of the rich history and is obviously quite a long time ago.
"This is my royal city." Jiang Lu sighed with emotion: "The former royal city."
Hearing this, everyone present was shocked.
Hong Yi thought of something: "Is this the Underworld King City that disappeared after the Underworld became independent in the legend?"
"Sure enough..." Dong Wanggong had a complicated expression.
At that time, this place still belonged to the Three Pure Ones Realm. When the new master of the underworld was crowned, he, as an elder of the immortal world, of course attended the coronation ceremony. Thinking of the grand occasion at that time and comparing it with the present, it is really sad.
Jiang Lu sighed, walked forward and gently stroked the city gate: "Long time no see, Jiang Lu Miaomiaowu."
"......" Lord Dong just felt something, but Jiang Lu made him unable to hold back. "Even if it's your royal city, don't yell at me, okay? This is obviously the Fallen Abyss City that corresponds to the High Heaven Palace, okay?"
Jiang Lu turned his head to look at him, then waved his hand to blow away the dust covering the stone carving with the city name above the city gate.
"Excuse me? What's wrong with you my brother?" Jiang Lu asked in the West Coast black accent he learned from Lingyu Middle School.
After seeing the words clearly, Dong Wanggong was full of questions: "Jiang Lu Miao Miao House? When did you change it?!"
"It was changed a long time ago." Jiang Lu smiled: "I can keep the name of the place where I live as Wangxiangtai, but I have to change it to the name I like."
"......" Hong Yi realized belatedly: "So it disappeared simply because it changed its name and people couldn't find it, right?"
Jiang Lu shrugged and smiled crookedly: "Who cares?"
Seeing him like this, Hong Yi and Lu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that no matter how he changes, Jiang Lu is still the same Jiang Lu, and the greater his ability, the smaller his responsibility.
As he spoke, the thunderclouds above his head grew louder and louder.
Jiang Lu looked up, but didn't take it seriously. He explained to everyone, "This thunder tribulation is indeed a true immortal tribulation, but it didn't come from the Three Pure Realms. Instead, it came from the underworld through Jiang Lu Miaomiao House, which was originally connected to the Three Pure Realms and is now an independent underworld and the border area of the Three Pure Realms.
Although it is a bit unexpected that I have been dead for so many years and there is not a single true immortal in the underworld, it is normal when you think about it carefully. After all, if you want to practice the foundation of creation, you must not only not kill the three corpses, but also the laws of the world must be complete. "
"The laws of the underworld are incomplete?"
Dong Wanggong was shocked:
"You had anticipated that this day might come, so when you were developing and establishing an independent underworld, you tampered with the laws of the world that had broken away from the Three Pure Ones?"
"That's not the case. Who can think so far?"
Jiang Lu shook his head and smiled a little embarrassedly:
“It was purely because it was my first time creating a world and I wasn’t very skilled, so there were a lot of loopholes in the process of creation. I found ways to fix some of the more serious ones.
However, there are still many harmless but very troublesome loopholes. Obviously, the world rules can still operate normally when you ignore them, but once one of them is solved, the whole system collapses, and then more loopholes are born.
In the end, I was too lazy to deal with it. Even if something went wrong, it would just be a small matter like the little devil who was sent to the eighteenth level of hell would occasionally get stuck and be tortured repeatedly, or he would be unable to open the door from the upper level after being tortured and would have to start all over again.
It can be easily solved by saying that they are guilty of serious crimes. I generally call this kind of problem that can be covered up by finding reasonable reasons or making new rules. "
"Genius!" Dong Wanggong agreed: "You are more of a dictator than an independent."
"whee."
Jiang Lu explained the situation to everyone, and the true immortal calamity from the underworld was finally approaching.
"Okay, just stand here and don't move. I'll be back soon."
He turned around gracefully, leaving everyone with a determined back, and then walked towards the center of the city alone.
"Be careful!" the three women shouted.
Jiang Lu waved without looking back.
Dazzling flashes of lightning moved through the clouds like dancing silver snakes, leaving long, twisted trails in the darkness. Every time lightning appeared, everything between heaven and earth suddenly became bright, followed by a deafening thunder.
The dust was blown up by the wind and flew all over the sky, making the sky hazy. People outside the city could feel the suffocating sense of oppression, as if the sky would collapse in the next moment.
Its momentum is even more terrifying than the True Immortal Tribulation that came from the Three Pure Ones Realm and appeared on Mount Kunlun.
But compared to the Queen Mother of the West, who was protected by divine light and surrounded by strange phenomena, Jiang Lu's figure was so small. He had nothing around him, and even his companions outside the city could not see him clearly in the dust and sand raised by the wind.
Being in the center of the storm, he looked up at the silver and black eye of the storm directly above him and took a deep breath.
Looking back on the past, he recalled the various dangers he had to endure when he was young, and he still shudders even today.
At that time, he would be covered with bruises, but... now after the precipitation of time, he no longer follows the old path of asceticism, but chooses the path of a sports student, and he will not be injured again!
Jiang Lu used his fingers as swords, pointing directly to heaven:
"If you want me to survive, I have to survive my brother first!"
After saying that, he took off his pants and walked firmly towards the spire called the Trial Tower that was almost touching the robbery cloud.
Click!
Jiang Bao fit seamlessly into a hole at the base of the spire that was inlaid with gold and diamonds and surrounded by mysterious, complex and obscure runes.
"The Trial Tower..." Jiang Lu stroked its mottled surface: "We are going to fight side by side again!"
At this moment, there was a stronger vibration in the clouds, as if some huge monster was moving through the sea of clouds. A brighter and thicker arc than before cut through the sky, and the thunder that followed was like a hammer hitting down, making people's hearts tighten.
boom!
A bolt of lightning thicker than the spire hit it directly.
Countless electric lights scattered, like little snakes, along the spire all the way down, and finally gathered on the magic circle constructed with complex runes, and then penetrated into the hole with a hundred times the amplification.
Jiang Baoshang suddenly felt an unprecedented pressure, causing Jiang Lu to break out in a cold sweat.
