Sitting and forgetting longevity

Chapter 1903 Cave

Liu Qinghuan and Xue Yi were looking up at the big hole above their heads at this moment, as if they were standing at the bottom of a circular tower, staring at the spiral staircases in amazement.

"Wow! How many floors did it penetrate at once? The ceiling must have been pierced by the sword, right?" Xue Yi exclaimed.

Liu Qinghuan's eyes were somewhat serious: "It's bad!"

"Oh, what's wrong?"

"You forgot that the nine hundredth floor and above is a time maze!"

Xue Yi subconsciously fell down a little, away from the cave.

"In that case, do you still want to chase that magic sword?" Liu Qinghuan said with a smile.

Xue Yi choked and retorted: "How dare you say that you don't have any thoughts about it?"

"Nonsense!" Liu Qinghuan said calmly: "That is the sword used by Emperor Haotian, who wouldn't want it!"

"Go grab it if you want it!" Xue Yi said, "Brother, you have to understand that we have worked so hard to practice for so many years just to be able to live more freely. Aren't you tired of worrying about this and that all day long and carrying all kinds of responsibilities?"

Liu Qinghuan thought for a moment and said, "I don't have so many concerns. Outsiders regard me as the leader of Taoism, but I am not too bound by reputation. What I care about is..."

He looked up at the sky and said slowly: "The Dao and the Dharma are one, and the environment changes with the mind. The Dao I practice is the cause and effect of life and death. It is necessary to have compassion for the living and to fear death.

If I knew that the collapse of the Haotian Purgatory Tower would release countless demons and cause many cultivators and mortals to die, and I did not stop it, I would feel uneasy, which would give rise to cause and effect and be detrimental to my practice.

Of course, if I try to stop it but still fail in the end, that is God's will and I have no regrets.

Life and death are so important that one must be fearful. If one cannot even be fearful of this, the path I am cultivating will begin to collapse from the foundation. Do you understand my explanation?"

“Blah blah blah blah!” Xue Yi said, “I’m too lazy to understand! Why cultivate the cause and effect of life and death? Whether those people live or die has nothing to do with you and me! Forget it, I’m too lazy to talk to you about these nonsense…”

He pointed upwards: "Are you going?"

"No! I advise you to think twice." Liu Qinghuan said, taking out a small seal.

On the palm-sized, square seal, there squatted a time beast that looked like a dragon, a tiger, and nothing else.

The next moment, the motionless Time Beast moved and raised its head.

Liu Qinghuan was startled and looked up at the big hole in the dome.

"Someone is coming!" Xue Yi warned, "This is troublesome. Is it too late for me to leave now... Wow, why do you look so ugly?"

Liu Qinghuan looked at him speechlessly and said quickly: "This is really troublesome, you'd better stay with me now and don't walk around!"

Xue Yi noticed that his tone was very serious and his expression became uncertain.

"Don't come over here!" Liu Qinghuan shouted, "Stand back! Leave immediately, don't come over here!"

Several people flying towards this side from a distance stopped, and one of them said, "Daoyou Taiwei, what happened?"

The person who spoke was the current leader of the Jiutian Immortal Alliance, Taoist Zhenyi, followed by Fengzun Qingheng, and three or four other Mahayana cultivators.

"Back off!" Liu Qinghuan warned again, "I'll explain it to you later. Back off first, now! Right now!"

The tone is very tough.

Although those people didn't understand what was going on, they realized that the situation was not good. They whispered a few words on the spot and then turned around and flew back.

"Let's go too!" Liu Qinghuan said to Xue Yi, but then he looked up and murmured:
"Too fast, too fast! We shouldn't have stayed under this cave for so long. I hope we still have time..."

The two flew towards the entrance of the 888th floor. Xue Yi turned his eyes and noticed that the color of the sea below seemed to be different from before. The ice that was originally everywhere disappeared without knowing when. His heart sank, and he quickly turned around to look -

The basalt ice palace disappeared, leaving only the endless sea.

"The Ice Palace is gone." He reminded Liu Qinghuan and found that the few people whose figures he could see before had also disappeared.

……

At this time, Shinichi and others had retreated to the entrance, and in front of them was the staircase leading to the next floor.

"Don't stop, keep going!"

Among the few people, a burly, bearded middle-aged monk shouted, "Something happened! We have to leave this floor immediately, close all entrances, and don't allow anyone to enter or leave!"

"Wait!" Zhenyi was shocked and said, "Daoyou Taiwei and the others are still inside, we can't..."

"They can't get out!" The middle-aged monk interrupted him and said decisively: "Yuntian, Zangfeng, you all go to the other two entrances on the 888th floor and seal them immediately!"

The other two Mahayana monks were shocked, and one of them said, "Wu Ji, it's not that serious, you..."

"Go!" the middle-aged monk shouted, and slightly stepped aside: "Look for yourselves!"

Shinichi and Qingheng didn't know what was going on, so they quickly looked behind him.

The sky is vast and the sea is endless. The 888th floor looks very peaceful and tranquil.

But the two soon discovered that something was wrong. Taiwei and the person beside him were gone, and even the huge ice palace floating on the sea disappeared.

"What about that big hole in the sky? Was it filled so quickly?" Shinichi frowned.

When he turned around, he saw the backs of the other two Mahayana monks from Tiandu Realm leaving in a hurry, while Wu Ji formed seals with his hands, spiritual light flashed, and he cast one spell after another towards the entrance!

The stone steps under my feet rumbled and rose upwards. Each step was a wall, completely blocking the passage connecting the 887th to the 888th floor.

It wasn’t over yet, the middle-aged cultivator took out the formation plate again, but Zhenyi grabbed his hand!

"Wu Ji!" Zhenyi said sternly, "What are you going to do? Taiwei and the others are still inside. Do you want to block their escape route?"

Wu Ji broke free from his hand: "I don't have time to explain to you now, but if you don't set up a barrier immediately to seal the 888th floor, neither you nor I can escape!"

"Enchantment!"

Shinichi's expression changed and he couldn't help but let go.

Compared with magic arrays and prohibitions, barriers are a higher level of defense and sealing means.

It was not until a thick yellow light burst out, flew along the wall, and soon flew back from the other side to form a complete barrier that Wu Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and saw that Zhenyi and Qingheng had been watching him silently. He could only smile bitterly.

"Let me take a breath, and then I'll tell you slowly."

Zhenyi said: "Fellow Daoist Wuji, I know that something terribly unexpected must have happened to make you act this way. But! The person inside is the leader of the immortal cultivation world, and his identity is extremely extraordinary, so you'd better give a thorough explanation, otherwise..."

Wu Ji sighed and said, "Okay, this matter concerns the secret of the top floor of the Haotian Purgatory Tower. I wonder if you have heard of the Time Maze?"

"Time?!" Zhen Yi was shocked and said, "Isn't that an absolute taboo?"

"Yes, you all saw the big hole before, right? What I suspect now is that the time maze on the top floor of the Purgatory Tower is spreading outward and has already affected the floor where Taiwei is!"
