Chapter 910 Crossing the Immortal Array
Everyone saw two rows of guards standing in front of the pyramid, each holding spears and leaning on the ground, motionless, like sculptures. Between the guards, a huge brazier was burning, and the flames were flying very high, reaching ten feet high.
Between the two rows of guards, there is a bluestone road that leads directly to the gate under the pyramid. The gate is very wide, dozens of feet wide, and there are three large characters engraved on the door: "By the Immortal Gate".
The old man led them slowly in.
There were dozens of guards standing in the pyramid, but they were all standing by the wall. Above the dome, there was a huge brazier hanging. The basin was so big that it looked like a swimming pool, with blazing fires burning inside, making the tower shiny. And the walls turned dark under the burning of the flames over the years.
Apart from this one, there was nothing else in the pyramid, and it was empty. Although thousands of people walked in, they only occupied a corner.
On the other side of the pyramid, facing Wangxianmen, there is a gate. The old man pointed at the gate and said, "That is also passing the Immortal Gate. The rules are very simple. After passing the Immortal Gate, you can get the Black Crystal and become an immortal."
Everyone did not expect that becoming an immortal was so simple. It seemed that the old man was scaring them. Fei Chaixi said, "Then isn't it over now? Although it's a little farther away, it doesn't matter!"
The old man gave him a blank look and said, "The game hasn't started yet!"
Fei Chai's heart sank and said, "What game is it?"
The old man said, "Although the road to becoming an immortal is endless, oh, it's not a lifetime, but there are still endless people coming here to become an immortal. You have also seen it. For us, whether you are surprised by your bones and gifted, these are not important. The most important thing in the fairy world is such a person. So for us, who can go to heaven? Theoretically, as long as the person who comes down, everyone has a chance! How to give this opportunity depends on luck. So today, I will bet on your luck. People who are not lucky are not qualified to become immortals!"
Fei Chai whispered: "Are you bet on the big or small?"
The old man smiled and ignored him. Instead, he took a step forward, stretched out his right hand, and a dazzling golden light appeared on the palm of his hand, shining on the empty ground. The ground suddenly trembled and slowly sunk down, like a bathhouse, but there was no water inside. Then, hundreds of white pillars appeared at the bottom of the "bath pool", which were flush with the ground, with a smooth surface, with a diameter of about five feet, and the interval between each pillar was about five feet. Jiang Xiaobai counted a few minutes laterally, nineteen vertically.
As the pillar emerged, white mist appeared at the bottom of the bath pool, lingering the pillars into a faint view.
Fei Chai shouted at this time, "Why has my cultivation disappeared?"
The old man said, "It has not disappeared, it has just suppressed your cultivation, so that you can honestly jump to the pillar!"
Fei Chai said in a daze: "Jump the post? Do you just jump over like this?"
The old man said, "I will tell you the rules, that is, you have many people, so I have the patience to tell you that one or two people come over and start jumping directly. What you see is called the Immortal Formation. As long as you jump from one end to the other, you will pass the Immortal Gate. But half of these hundreds of pillars have mechanisms. If you can't stand with a mechanism, you will die if you stand on it. When you jump forward, you can only jump one by one, there is no gap between them, but you jump sideways, just jump a few. As long as you jump to that end, you will become immortals. It's that simple!"
Fei Chaixi said: "Isn't that half the chance?"
The old man smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Nineteen people will test it first!"
When everyone heard that it was a test, dozens of people who loved to flatter came out and wanted to take this opportunity to show off.
The old man picked nineteen people, stood in front of the pillar, one of them pointed at one pillar, and then shouted: "Jump!"
Nineteen people jumped up together without hesitation like frogs. As soon as their feet fell on the pillar, they saw a golden light suddenly shot out from many pillars, like a sword energy. At the same time, they heard a shrill scream. More than a dozen people fell from the pillar and died of anger.
Everyone was shocked. Didn’t they say that the test was done? Why did it work really well?
There were only three living people left on the pillar, and my intestines were so regretful that I wouldn't have come out to flatter me if I had known it. I didn't expect it to be slap on the horse's legs. I was so scared that I sweated coldly, and I didn't dare to move.
Fei Chai couldn't help but say, "God, didn't you say that only half of the pillars have mechanisms? Why did most of them die in one go?"
The old man said, "The first row, there must be more mechanisms. Don't worry, I don't need to deceive you." Then he walked to the pillars and looked at the three living people and said, "You can choose to jump forward one square now, but the pillar in front may not have no mechanism. You can also choose to jump sideways and jump a few sideways. Some pillars have mechanisms on the left and right sides, so sometimes you have to jump two or three squares on the sideways, but you should not jump those pillars that have already appeared, and you will still die if you jump up!"
The three of them were so scared that their legs were trembling. Although there was a pillar in front of them, they felt like a deep abyss. How could they dare to jump? One of them said in a trembling voice: "Can I go back and think about it? Come and jump later!"
The old man said: "There is no turning back here. Since we have come, we can only move forward and take a step back and die!"
The three of them were so scared that they swallowed their saliva, but they didn't dare to jump.
The old man waited for a while, then he took action. A guard came over to the side. The old man said, "Since they don't jump, they will give them the chance, so kill them!"
The three of them were scared to death and said anxiously: "I'll jump, I'll jump!"
After saying that, he was afraid that the old man would take action, so he jumped forward with a bit of bullet and then heard two screams. The two people on the left were killed and fell down. Only the man on the right stood alone on the pillar, but he did not have the joy of surviving the disaster, because there were more than a dozen kalpas in front of him, and his calf shaking became more and more powerful!
The old man said to the guards beside him: "Each pillar gives him thirty breaths to consider. If he doesn't jump, just kill him directly and don't delay the people behind him."
The guard responded.
The living person on the pillar also heard it, but in panic, he was quite calm. He thought that there were more mechanisms in the first row and fewer opportunities in the second row. Seeing that the thirty breaths were about to come, he clenched the bullet and jumped to the left one. Hey, it was OK!
Standing on the pillar, hesitating for a while, he still didn't dare to jump forward. Seeing that time was coming, I bit the bullet and jumped to the left one again. Hey, it's still okay!
However, he wanted to jump to the third row, and it was not a big deal to jump in the second row. Moreover, the second row was not necessarily safe. Maybe the next column would have a mechanism, and the columns in front, back, left and right were exactly the same, without even a mark. In addition to regret and panic, he was also a little unwilling to do so. It would be fine if he died, but he explored the way for others, made wedding dresses for others, and finally helped others.
But this was a road of no return, and he knew that he had already made mental preparations before coming, but he didn't expect it to be so exciting.
Seeing that time was approaching, he closed his eyes and jumped forward one frame. Whether he jumped left or forward, although there was no bottom, at least he could go further if he jumped forward.
But this time, he was not so lucky. He flashed with a golden light, let out a scream, and fell from the pillar.
Everyone was frightened to see it. Nineteen people jumped together but couldn't jump to the third row. If they jumped one by one, they might not be able to pass the first row. Although only half of the pillars here have mechanisms, it sounds quite easy, if you continue to calculate like this, the chance of survival is less than one in a billion! No wonder everyone who comes here is dead!
The old man turned around and said, "Do you understand everything?"
Fei Chai nodded and said, "I understand!"
There was no tension and panic in his words, and even a little excited, because he understood that if he played this game alone, he would definitely die, but he was different. There were many others. There were a total of hundreds of pillars here, but he brought thousands of people to try one by one, and also tried all the pillars with mechanisms. At that time, he could walk over with his companion's body. He was secretly glad that it was fortunate that he brought more people to this time, which was indeed beneficial.
The old man nodded and said, "Just understand, let's start now and bet on your luck!" When he said that, he waved, and a few more guards came over, reached out to grab the body, grabbed the body inside and put it into his private space.
After collecting the bodies, the guards did not leave, but stood by the "bath pool", probably in order to catch the bodies at any time.
The old man walked back two steps, walked to Jiang Xiaobai, stretched out his hand and stood up. A ray of light suddenly rose around the "bath pool", like a screen, blocking the inside and outside, and there was nothing inside, including those guards.
The old man said: "Okay, now it's officially started, you have taken advantage of it. The mechanisms in the first row have already been tested for you. Now come one by one!"
Fei Chai was stunned for a moment. Now he couldn't see anything. He came one by one, and it would be useless to bring 100 million people over here! He couldn't help but rush and said, "God, I can go in and take a look. I want to watch them dance. After all, I'm going to have a fight with their brothers, and I want to collect the corpses for them!"
The old man smiled and said, "Do you think it's possible?"
Fei Chai swallowed and said, "Impossible!"
The old man said, "It's good to know! I think you were very excited just now. Why would you be the first one?"
Fei Chai was so scared that he waved his hand and said, "My legs are already weak and I can't jump anymore. Wait and jump again, wait and then jump again!"
The old man didn't make things difficult for him and shouted: "Who is willing to jump first?"
Thousands of people were silent.
The old man smiled and said, "Aren't you very brave? You don't listen to the advice to become an immortal, and you have to live and die. Now the way to become an immortal is in front of you, why are you retreating again?"
