Sitting and forgetting longevity

Chapter 1923 Tower Spirit
Xue Yi's displeasure was obvious, especially after he discovered the change in Liu Qinghuan's cultivation level, which made him even more depressed.

"We haven't seen each other for long, and you've already advanced two realms. Did you perhaps take some kind of elixir?"

Liu Qinghuan smiled slightly: "I didn't eat any elixir, I just 'ate' a tree that was over ten thousand years old."

Xue Yi was even more confused, but considering that it might involve the secrets of Liu Qinghuan's cultivation techniques, she didn't dare to ask any further questions.

He snorted coldly, then directed his pent-up anger at the Time Beast: "Weren't those guys supposed to be really powerful? How come they couldn't even handle a Tower Spirit?"

Liu Qinghuan shook her head and said, "That's not just a simple tower spirit..."

"What's so special about it? Is it just its empty appearance as the 'Immortal Emperor Haotian'?"

"It's not entirely just for show, is it? Don't forget that when this tower was first built, it carried the will of the Immortal Emperor Haotian himself."

"What about willpower?" Xue Yi said, revealing his inherent arrogance: "Those who dawdle must be killed!"

Liu Qinghuan said coolly, "Then go ahead!"

He looked ahead.

Several Time Beasts formed a circle, surrounding the 'Haotian Immortal Emperor' in the middle.

Around them, the light and shadow of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, and all things in the universe flashed by quickly, as if they were in the flowing river of time, which those outside the river could not approach.

Xue Yi touched his nose dejectedly: "Why is the Time Domain forbidden!"

If it weren't for the taboo, he might have been able to force his way in, but facing the Time Realm, he dared not make any rash moves.

Liu Qinghuan laughed and said, "Laws cannot be erased, only manipulated and utilized. If one is powerful enough, one can even modify the laws. And that person is the embodiment of the laws themselves, how can he be erased?"

Furthermore, it's difficult to predict what the consequences would be if the spirit of the Purgatory Tower were destroyed or scattered.

Liu Qinghuan understood those Time Beasts; while maintaining the order of time, they would try their best to avoid causing any impact on the outside world through their actions.

The disappearance of the tower spirit could cause problems with the defenses of the Infernal Tower itself, or even cause it to collapse, so the Time Beast simply surrounded it.

The tower spirit spoke to the Time Beast with a disdainful expression and an extremely condescending attitude.

The person speaking to her was Kun Yu, who had given Liu Qinghuan the inscription, but due to the separation of light and shadow, their voices could not be heard at all.

Liu Qinghuan's gaze, however, fell on a Time Beast with a human face.

The opponent was only about three feet tall and very thin, but he was holding a banner that was even taller than himself.

The flag, with its white silk face and black jade pole, fluttered like mist and clouds, seemingly concealing many demons and monsters.

Whether unintentionally or sensing Liu Qinghuan's gaze, the human-faced Time Beast looked over and nodded slightly at him.

Liu Qinghuan was taken aback and nodded slightly in return.

"You two know each other?" Xue Yi asked.

“This is the first time I’ve met this one,” Liu Qinghuan said. “Perhaps other Time Beasts have mentioned me to it, which is why it…”

Before he could finish speaking, the arrogant tower spirit suddenly revealed a strange smirk, raised the Haotian Immortal Sword in his hand, and slashed at the void!

The sword's light burst forth, engulfing countless shadows that vanished.

A crisp cracking sound rang out.

It was as if a piece of jade had fallen to the ground and broken into several pieces.

Centered on the immortal sword, cracks appeared in space, which then began to collapse.

Everyone's expression changed drastically. "What's going on? Are they going to keep fighting?"

Some reacted even faster, like startled birds, either disappearing from their spot in an instant or flashing away into the distance.

Xue Yi laughed angrily: "You're all cowards, running faster than me!"

Wanting to figure out what the Time Beast and the Tower Spirit were talking about, and sensing that the danger had passed, they drew closer and closer, and were now not far from the other side.

But if the two sides were to fight again, the terrifying force would cause large swathes of space to shatter and collapse like a storm sweeping everything away.

That was a realm that lowly human cultivators could not touch; getting involved meant certain death.

However, just as Xue Yi moved, he saw that Liu Qinghuan showed no intention of leaving, so he stopped in his tracks.

"You are not afraid?"

"What's there to be afraid of?" Liu Qinghuan looked around with amusement: "The tower spirit is already at its last gasp and can't cause any more trouble, as long as that person is here!"

He pointed at the Time Beast with the human face, and it waved its banners a few times. Several plumes of smoke, like rolling yellow sand, spread out, and wherever they went, time and space suddenly froze.

Countless fragments of space, shimmering with crystalline light, were frozen in the distance. After a few breaths of pause, time began to flow again, but in reverse.

And so the collapsed spacetime was restored to its original state, the cracks were healed, as if nothing had ever happened.

The Time Beast with the human face waved its banner again, and long white strips of cloth rolled up towards the Tower Spirit, wrapping him up like a rice dumpling.

Upon seeing this, Xue Yi whistled to express his shock.

"These guys are way too powerful, they're practically defying the heavens!"

This was the first time Liu Qinghuan had ever seen the Time Beast attack so fiercely, which showed that the Tower Spirit was no ordinary creature, otherwise it wouldn't have forced the Time Beast, which had always been indifferent and aloof, to take action.

The tower spirit was bound and could not break free no matter how hard it struggled, and finally became docile.

After a while, Kunyu walked over here.

Liu Qinghuan perked up and quickly went to greet him.

"Long time no see, Brother Kunyu!"

Kun Yu smiled and nodded: "I have to thank you for notifying us in time this time, so that the tower spirit here could not continue to do evil and the disordered laws of time could not be allowed to continue to spread."

Liu Qinghuan said politely, "As a friend of the Time Beast Clan, this is what I should do."

“Yes, friend.” Kunyu’s smile became more sincere: “My clan owes you a favor, and I will repay you tenfold if I have the chance in the future.”

Liu Qinghuan was secretly delighted, but humbly declined.

"Furthermore, we can open a passage to the outside world for you, allowing you to leave this place safely. What do you think?" Kunyu added.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Qinghuan glanced at the tower spirit and agreed, "That's great! I'm sure you have other matters to attend to, so I won't disturb you any longer."

“It does need to be dealt with,” Kun Yu said. “This Time Realm is on the verge of collapse. We plan to seal it off and fully reinforce it, which will take a lot of effort. That’s why we need to send you away. Please understand!”

"Cough!" A soft cough came from behind, and Xue Yi became anxious.

So Liu Qinghuan pulled him over and said with a smile, "These are my friends. There are a few other people who also came in from outside and are trapped in this time maze. I wonder if they can leave with me?"

Kun Yu was easy to talk to and agreed immediately. He then turned around, and a spiral of light shot out from the sharp horn on his head.

A light hole about the height of a person appeared beside them.
