Jackie Chan: The Supreme Sorcerer, invited by his father to come out of seclusion

Chapter 33: To ascend to the Qiong Tower, the connection of history
Bring enough food.

Lope left the team and rushed towards the ruined city.

Heavy rain made the mountain roads muddy.

This also caused the young Lope's progress to be greatly hindered. The journey that originally only took half a day to complete, but Lope took more than two days to arrive!

“Finally, we’re here.”

Looking at the dilapidated and devastated city in front of him, Lope was filled with emotion.

Who could have imagined that the ruins before them had been a scene of prosperity and peace only a few days before? But due to the demon's arrival, they had been reduced to their present state in just half a day.

demon,

The impact on the world is really too great.

Think of this.

Lope's determination to seal the devil became stronger. He must follow the example of his predecessor and seal the devil completely with the power of a mortal!

but
Before sealing the demon, there is one more thing Lope needs to do first.

That is to find food!
The food he brought was only enough to last for three days, but it took him more than two days to travel!

This means,

The food Lope had left was only enough for him to eat for half a day!

Half day
If he didn't find food to replenish his supply before the next famine came, he would probably starve to death before he could seal the demon.

"I hope the devil didn't burn all the food in the city."

Lope prayed in his heart.

He climbed over the rubble and officially set foot in the city where he used to live.

There are no demons here.

As he thought.

The Holy Lord's target is the center of the Lin Dynasty's rule, and the current city is only the first step in his surrender.

After completing the surrender, the devil will naturally not stay here.

According to his memory, Lope walked to the most prosperous commercial street in the past.

There are many restaurants and shops here.

Lope walked into the nearest shop and looked for the supplies he wanted. Food, medical supplies, and some necessary daily necessities.

God seems to be very kind to him.

Although many things in the shop were destroyed, there were still a lot of supplies that Lope needed.

food.

Medical.

Lope found all the basic necessities of life in this shop.
He filled his bag with these things.

then.

Continue to set foot on new destinations.

City Walls

If Lope remembered correctly, this was the place where the general defending the city used petrification magic to temporarily seal the Holy Lord!

Standing at the foot of the towering city wall, Lope discovered that the stairs leading to the top of the wall had long been damaged.

resignedly.

He could only climb up little by little with the help of the tools around him.

The city walls are high and there are many sharp objects underneath. If you fall down accidentally, your life will be in danger!

Lope was careful.

He climbed very slowly to ensure safety.

After spending a long time and physical energy.

Lope finally reached the city wall. From here, he could overlook everything in the city, big and small.

He didn't have time to appreciate the broken scenery. Lope turned his gaze back to his feet and began to look for what he wanted seriously.

"Magic, magic, magic."

After a moment of reflection, Lope finally found what he wanted next to a small, inconspicuous pile of ashes.

It was a pure white jade pendant.

It formed a sharp contrast with the surrounding ashes ignited by the flames, and was extremely bright among the ruins!
Lope picked up the jade pendant gently and looked at it on the palm of his hand. He could clearly see the two words carved on the jade pendant - Qionglou!
"Qiong Tower?"

Luo Pei had heard stories about the Qiong Tower in some storybooks.

That's where the immortals live.
The Qionglou is above the sky, which symbolizes that it is cold at high places.

It is a place where only immortals can survive.

Through this jade pendant, Lope's thoughts were drawn back to the time before the demons attacked the city.
he thinks,

The general defending the city must have suddenly received enlightenment from the immortal.

Afterwards, he obtained the jade pendant engraved with the Qiong Tower, and was able to temporarily master the magic of petrifying the Holy Lord, thus buying time for the people in the city to escape!
"As long as I can find the Qiong Tower, I can become a disciple of the immortal and learn magic!"

Lope thought so!

however,
At this time, a new problem began to trouble Lope, that is.
Where exactly is Qionglou?
If it was really in heaven as described in the storybooks, how could he reach it with his mortal body?

Can't figure it out.

Lope felt extremely lost.

Is it
Did he really miss out on the Qionglou because of this?
he,
I really feel unwilling to accept this.

However, at this moment, the jade pendant held tightly in Lope's hand suddenly flashed with a faint light.

"This is this?"

Lope's thoughts were instantly attracted by this light!

As the sun continues to set, night falls, and the light dims, the light emitted by the jade pendant becomes clearer and more visible!

The light was like a pointing instrument, showing Lope the way forward!
West, the far west!

This is the opposite direction of the center ruled by the Lin Dynasty!
If he goes to the far west, can he find the Qionglou and learn magic from it?
Lope was overjoyed.

He put the jade pendant away carefully, then stood up and prepared to head to the westernmost part.

"and many more!"

Just when you take a step forward.

Lope suddenly thought of something.

He returned and put the few ashes that had burned out on the ground into the small box.

This was the final remains of the general defending the city. He died to protect the people in the city, including himself. He should not have been left exposed to the elements after his death, and was eventually blown everywhere by a gust of wind.

He put the general's last remains into a box and found a good place to bury them.
Repay the general for saving your life.

After making all preparations, Lope turned to the west and moved forward step by step.

It was at the moment when the young man began his journey.

Far away in the demon hell in another dimension, the seven demons who stayed here gathered together again.

"Now, how long has it been?"

In hell, time is the most insignificant thing. Years can pass by if you are not careful!
Most demons have forgotten how long they have been in hell.
Ximu flew to Bogang's shoulder and landed. He counted on his fingers and said, "I've counted from one to ten. I can confirm that we have been in hell for more than ten years!"

"It's more than ten years!"

Zhong Su continued, "It's not possible for the Holy Lord to have made no progress for such a long time. What's going on with him?"

"Given the Saint's abilities, if he were to return to the human world, he would surely be able to find a way to open the Gate of Hell for us in the shortest possible time. Even if he couldn't find it, he shouldn't have left us without any news."

"Could it be that"

At this moment, a very bad thought arose in the minds of the seven demons.
