Chapter 219 Shocking! A colossal bronze temple 8 meters above sea level!
The summit of Mount Gongga is 6,000 meters above sea level.
Golden streaks of light and crimson rainbows raced side by side, drawing two long sonic boom clouds through the thin air and tearing apart the perpetually lingering fog.
The battlefield on the north slope below has now been transformed into a series of busy black dots.
"Hey, you big worm." A clear, slightly mocking female voice rang out in Lu Sheng's mind through the vibration of his spiritual source. "Pretty fast, are you in a hurry to find a nest on the mountaintop to hibernate?"
With each flap of the fiery wings on Luo Tianfei's back, a wave of heat surged forth, keeping out the biting cold wind.
Lu Sheng didn't turn his head, his figure didn't slow down at all, and his calm voice echoed in Luo Tianfei's consciousness.
"You can talk about it once you can keep up."
As soon as he finished speaking, a golden light flashed around him, and his speed increased by another three percent!
"snort!"
A competitive glint flashed in Luo Tianfei's phoenix eyes. With a sudden flap of her wings, a crimson streak of light instantly caught up with her, and the two figures began a silent race on the snow line.
However, when the two crossed the snow line at an altitude of 7,000 meters at the same time, an unexpected change occurred!
Om-!
Lu Sheng and Luo Tianfei stopped abruptly almost simultaneously, as if they had crashed into an invisible wall.
A strange, heavy, and omnipresent pressure was pressing in from all directions.
This is not gravity.
It acts directly on the spiritual source!
Lu Sheng felt as if the spiritual energy surging within his body, like a river, had suddenly been trapped in solidified quagmire, its circulation speed slowing down by 30%.
Beside her, Luo Tianfei's pretty face changed slightly. The undying divine fire that was originally burning around her dimmed a little, as if she had been doused with a bucket of cold water.
"This is... a spirit-blocking field?" Luo Tianfei's voice was tinged with surprise and doubt.
She had encountered this force field in some ancient ruins before; it was a method specifically used to restrict those with spiritual sources.
But I have never seen anything so wide or so intense.
The two exchanged a glance and both saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.
It seems that there is indeed a secret hidden on this mountaintop.
They did not back down, but instead persevered under pressure and continued to climb.
The altitude is 7,500 meters.
The spirit-suppressing field grew increasingly terrifying, and the air seemed to have turned into thick syrup.
Luo Tianfei had no choice but to fully activate the phoenix bloodline within her body. Crimson divine fire enveloped her entire body, forcefully creating a domain of her own within the force field.
But her speed had clearly slowed down, and fine beads of sweat even appeared on her smooth forehead.
She subconsciously glanced at Lu Sheng beside her, wanting to see how disheveled the guy who had just been racing her looked now.
However, the next second, Luo Tianfei's golden phoenix eyes suddenly narrowed.
Lu Sheng... was actually strolling leisurely!
His strong muscles gleamed faintly in the thin air as he stepped on the ankle-deep snow, making a "crunch, crunch" sound.
His speed was hardly affected at all!
What Luo Tianfei found most incredible was that there wasn't a single trace of spiritual energy fluctuation on Lu Sheng's body!
He actually... was using his physical body to withstand this terrifying spirit-suppressing force field?!
What exactly is this guy's body made of?
Just as Luo Tianfei was in shock, Lu Sheng seemed to notice her gaze, and even had the leisure to turn around, grinning at her, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth, his eyes filled with undisguised provocation.
"Hey, you big dumb bird, can't fly anymore?"
"you!"
Luo Tianfei gritted her teeth, a surge of defiant pride rising to the top of her head.
How could she, an immortal phoenix and a possessor of the divine sequence, be outdone by a giant worm?!
"Chirp—!"
A high-pitched phoenix cry.
Luo Tianfei's body erupted with divine fire, and the dazzling red light almost dyed half of the hillside red.
She forcefully squeezed out the spiritual energy within her body, increasing her speed once again, and kept close behind Lu Sheng.
A silent battle unfolds fiercely in this forbidden land where even gods and demons dare not tread.
Five minutes later.
When their feet simultaneously stepped onto the last step at the top of the mountain.
The suffocating pressure vanished abruptly.
It felt as if I had instantly returned to the surface from 10,000 meters deep in the ocean.
Luo Tianfei let out a long sigh, withdrew her protective divine fire, and was about to say a few sarcastic remarks.
But the moment she raised her head, all the words stuck in her throat, and her proud and beautiful face was left with only a blank expression.
Lu Sheng also stopped in his tracks. He was used to mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and had seen all kinds of monsters, but the scene before him still made his heart skip a beat.
Here, there is no dilapidated Taoist temple with incense smoke and an air of otherworldly elegance, as one might imagine.
Instead, a colossal palace, so magnificent it defies description, was erected.
It covers the entire mountaintop, as if it grew out of the mountain itself. It is cast entirely from an unknown bronze, and there is not a single weld or splicing seam on the surface. It is full of natural and ancient beauty.
Bathed in the golden morning light, the palace exuded an ancient, vast aura, as if it had existed there before the birth of humankind.
In the face of this miraculous building, both the hundred-meter-long golden dragon and the five-hundred-meter-tall demon god appear so insignificant.
"This... is the Sanqing Hall?"
Lu Sheng muttered to himself, feeling that his understanding had been completely overturned at this moment.
silence.
At the mountaintop, only the howling wind remained, whipping up the snow on the ground and slapping it against the cold walls of the bronze palace, making a "rustling" sound.
Lu Sheng and Luo Tianfei stood side by side, gazing up at the magnificent building that surpassed the limits of human imagination, speechless for a long time.
The palace has an extremely simple and rustic style, without any superfluous decorations. Its lines are simple and bold, full of power.
But it is precisely this extreme simplicity that exudes an indescribable sense of oppression, as if it were not a building, but an ancient behemoth that has been lurking here for hundreds of millions of years.
"This thing... couldn't possibly have been made by humans." Luo Tianfei finally snapped out of her shock, and for the first time, solemnity and awe appeared in her golden phoenix eyes.
With modern human technology, it would be a complete fantasy to build such a massive and sophisticated bronze palace on a plateau at an altitude of nearly 8,000 meters.
Lu Sheng remained silent, his gaze already drawn to the massive bronze gate, a hundred meters high, at the very center of the palace.
The door was tightly closed.
The door is carved with intricate and mysterious reliefs.
These reliefs are not random; rather, they collectively form a breathtaking picture.
At the center of the painting is a majestic five-clawed golden dragon and a magnificent and noble immortal phoenix.
Dragons and phoenixes bring good fortune, swirling and dancing together.
Beneath them lie mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, the sun, the moon, and the stars; it seems the entire world is under their protection and control.
