I Live Forever With My Proficiency

Chapter 358 The mysterious imprisonment and the unknown Zhao Changxing

"What is the ancient pagoda in the middle?" Chen Ping asked sister Xiyue beside him.

"Just go and take a look and you'll find out."

In the entire spacious Cave Mansion, a simple stone tower stands quietly in the central area, and three short sub-towers stand around the stone tower.

When Chen Ping walked over, he saw an ancient tower guardian sitting in front of each of the three sub-towers.

Then, they are obviously not guarding the ancient pagoda at the moment.

But it is destroying.

It is not destruction by brute force.

They were pouring Entering Spirit into the three sub-towers continuously, mumbling words. It can be seen that some kind of secret technique is being used.

The three of them closed their eyes tightly, white mist erupted from their bodies, and layers of sweat broke out on their foreheads.

Behind them, there were two monks guarding them.

As their Entering Spirit power continued to pour into the sub-tower, a stone bell visible to the naked eye in the tower kept vibrating, making a dull crashing sound.

The entire sub-tower seemed to be shaking.

Further out, many monks were staring nervously at the ancient tower, as if they wanted to see if there were any secrets hidden in it.

"Oh, I saw the middle section of the ancient pagoda flashing again. It was almost a pity."

"Yeah, the flash time is too short, you can't even see what's inside."

"There's not much time left."

"."

The monks outside were talking in low voices, sighing and shaking their heads.

Chen Ping saw that the ancient tower in the middle would flash once every time the sub-tower shook the most.

Not flash, exactly.

Instead, the tower body made of bluestone became transparent in that moment, allowing the situation inside the tower body to be glimpsed.

Unfortunately, this time is too short and cannot be seen clearly.

"What's in the tower?" Chen Ping turned around and spoke to Master Xiyue beside him.

Xiyue looked at the ancient pagoda calmly, and the ancient well did not waver:

"I don't know. But what is certain is that this ancient tower is related to blocking the passage from Demon World to the human world, and it is closely related. When I arrived at this underground palace, this feeling became stronger and stronger, and the closer I got, the more intense it became. This ancient pagoda is getting stronger.”

"This feeling is unmistakable."

Chen Ping was stunned by Xi Yue.

Since it is a 'passage confinement', why does Xiyue, as the confinement's provider, say 'unclear'?

It's impossible for a prisoner to be a prisoner and has never seen a channel prison, right?

Perhaps seeing through Chen Ping's doubts, Xiyue said:

"Don't look at your master like that. The passages in Xizhou are completely different from the ancient pagoda here. The secret method they cast is also something I have never heard of."

Chen Ping thought for a while and asked again:

"Is there a lot of confinement in such a passage?"

"I don't know. The information between the channel confinement and the channel confinement is not exchanged. Maybe it is for safety. It will not destroy them all. After all, it is related to the safety of the entire human world. To tell you the truth, before entering Canglan Grassland Before, I only knew that there was one passage in Piaomiao Continent, and I didn't even know that there was a second one here," Xiyue said.

"As a prisoner, you are putting half your life on it. So why don't you secretly inquire about such important information?" Chen Ping was very surprised.

This is completely unlike a Nascent Soul True Monarch style.

Judging from the long time he has been in contact with Xiyue, Xiyue is not the kind of person whose IQ is lacking.

On the contrary, she is very smart and insightful.

"What does it have to do with you?" Xiyue was a little jealous because Chen Ping pointed out her mistake, and gave Chen Ping a sideways look. Even so, he still replied:

"My late master said that as a prisoner, I can be regarded as a kind of inheritance."

"What if your master touches you?"

"What is shaking point?"

"It's just a lie."

"Then will you show off your father and mother?"

"Yes. Let's see if there are any benefits."

Chen Ping felt that the instep of his feet was stamped hard again.

Why.

This bitch.

Not to mention other things, as a confinement provider, when it comes time to really come in handy, I don’t know this or that.

What's the use of you?

but.

What Xiyue said is not unreasonable. If this is really the passage between the Demon World and the human world, then there may be a third and fourth one. Then the methods of confinement in these passages will definitely not be exactly the same.

Otherwise, it is really broken in one place and broken everywhere.

Chen Ping originally wanted to ask what would happen if the confinement of this channel was broken? But considering that Xiyue had always thought that there was only one channel in the Piaomiao Continent, she probably didn't know what impact breaking one channel would have on the overall situation.

It is even more impossible to figure out the correlation between various channels.

But one thing is certain, this passage is intact, which means that Chi Liang most likely did not enter the human world from here.

There are other places.

Chen Ping walked around the Cave Mansion and looked at the sculptures and murals on the outside for a while. There was nothing unique about them, so he returned to the ancient pagoda in the center of the Cave Mansion.

When I came over, I happened to see a familiar figure, one of the six monks who were interested in treasure hunting that I saw on the way.

A Foundation Building monk.

"...Senior." Seeing Chen Ping looking over, the monk from the Foundation Building bowed to him.

Chen Ping nodded in response. He didn't see the other five, so he asked casually: "Where are the others?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the monk from the Foundation Building's eyes suddenly turned red:

"Senior, none of them came back. I was waiting for an attacking formation in a tunnel. The junior walked at the end and didn't step in. They all died there, including the junior's brothers and sisters."

"Juniors are incompetent."

Chen Ping stagnated.

Although he had already seen the dangers of the underground palace, he was still slightly shocked when he heard that five Fellow Daoists died at the same time.

That's two Gold Core teams.

Although they didn't know each other, he still felt sorry for those Fellow Daoists.

As expected, the underground palace here is full of hidden mysteries, not only evil spirits, Demonic Beasts, but also formations.

At the same time, I am very glad that I paid attention to everything and did not run around. If he really strays into some high-level formations, even if he is an formation master, he is not sure that he will be able to get out.

Why.

I don’t know how many people were trapped in this underground palace.

I'm afraid there will be more evil spirits here in the future.

"Fellow Daoists, how is the situation? Have you found any clues?" Before Chen Ping could talk any more, an energetic voice came over.

When Chen Ping turned around, he saw Jiang Youwei rushing out of the secret passage and walking to the center of the Cave Mansion almost instantly.

"Chief."*N

Everyone hurriedly handed over their hands and saw Jiang Youwei, one of the four leaders, coming in. Their morale was boosted for a moment.

Jiang Youwei looked at the ancient pagoda and groaned:

"I'm late."

He concentrated for a moment and walked behind a monk who was using a secret technique:

"It's too late, let me come."

He pointed at the back of the Gold Core monk who was casting the spell, and with a sway, the two of them completed the exchange of positions.

During this period, the spiritual power lines used to cast spells on the sub-tower were not interrupted, which was equivalent to a seamless connection.

"Ha~" Jiang Youwei roared, and the line of spiritual power that passed into Zi Ta suddenly became larger and thicker.

"It's been a hundred years. I can't wait another hundred years. I just want to return to Tiannan Continent. I came here a hundred years ago but returned without success. This time, let me see what is hidden in the ancient pagoda. What."

"Ha~"

With a sharp roar, the light beam increased again.

Seeing this, the other two casters also gave it a go and output with all their strength.

The ancient pagoda suddenly shone with light.

Chen Ping subconsciously activated the Golden Tortoise Armor Technique and decisively stepped back a few feet.

Xiyue next to her almost formed a defensive layer at the same time. While protecting herself, she extended the defensive layer in an attempt to block Chen Ping. Only then did she realize that Chen Ping was no longer around her and looked back.

I saw Chen Ping already a few feet away.

She turned back speechlessly and stared at the ancient tower.

In fact, it was not just Chen Ping who retreated. At that moment, many monks also chose to retreat.

This is a normal reaction.

But Chen Ping no longer cared about this at the moment, he stared closely at the ancient pagoda.

The ancient pagoda shines brighter and brighter, and the pagoda becomes more and more transparent.

He saw a severed arm that seemed to be suspended inside the transparent tower.

A black severed arm.

…It’s actually the Demon World’s passage to the human world.

Chen Ping still remembers that Xiyue once said that after the ancient war, the Demon Ancestor was killed, and his body was divided into pieces and became one of the media to imprison the passage.

...Isn't what you see in front of you just a broken arm?

Lines of runes shining with golden light appeared on the green rock tower that had become transparent.

Weird and gorgeous.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the ancient tower. Even the three casters stood up and stared at the transparent tower.

"Chief, does that severed arm hide the secret of getting out of Canglan Grassland? Do you want to smash the ancient pagoda?" someone shouted.

"Crush it?" Jiang Youwei stared at the ancient pagoda: "If we can crush it, do we have to wait until now?"

"so what should I do now?"

"Time is running out. Let's memorize those runes first. In terms of division of labor, I will remember the first ten columns. Lao He, you will memorize the eleventh to fifteenth columns..." Jiang Youwei quickly divided the labor for several ancient pagoda guardians. .

Chen Ping also read the runes carefully. The words in these runes were not like the ancient text next to the picture of a beautiful woman taking a bath.

Rather, it is a rune similar to a talisman.

...a restraint used to imprison a broken arm?

Chen Ping couldn't figure it out for the time being, so he could only record these runes abruptly.

Runes are not as regular and easy to remember as words. Many lines are intertwined and complicated. The spacing between runes and the thickness of the rune lines will affect the banning effect of the runes, so they need to be memorized accurately.

Sudden.

The broken arm in the tower slowly swayed. Just as everyone was attracted to look at it, a pressure centered on the broken arm suddenly rippled out.

"Bang!"

The pressure ripples in all directions.

Several Foundation Building monks were caught off guard and were thrown away by the pressure, hitting the cave wall behind them.

The sculpture collapsed.

Some Gold Cores in the field even knelt down all of a sudden, while the other Gold Cores were struggling to hold on.

Chen Ping released his powerful spiritual power at that moment. Fortunately, he stood far enough away to barely resist the pressure.

What a strong pressure.

Not only is he strong, but he also has a sense of willpower that makes people bow down and surrender.

Before anyone could react, a deep voice came from the broken arm:

"Zhao Changxing, you're here!"

As soon as he said these words, Chen Ping felt that the voice seemed to be coming towards him, and the dull sigh made him feel numb.

It's like a soul torture.

This was just the sound of a broken arm, but it was far more direct to the Primordial Spirit than Chi Liang's sigh.

‘Zhao Changxing, you are here. ’... This ordinary greeting kept echoing in his heart, shaking his soul.

Zhao Changxing?

who is it?

Not just Chen Ping, everyone heard this dull sound.

They all had the same idea, that is, who is Zhao Changxing.

A Gold Core monk and Jiang Youwei looked at each other, took a step forward and said:

"Well, I, Zhao Changxing, am here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Gold Core monk suddenly flew out, and a mouthful of blood spurted out in the air. Even though a few Gold Core monks had quick eyesight and quick hands, they immediately cast spells to try to catch him, but they still couldn't stop him from hitting the cave wall with a "bang" and a burst of gravel flying everywhere.

"You are not Zhao Changxing!" The broken arm sighed again:

"You are too weak. You just learned the same swordsmanship as him and only scratched the surface of it."

Everyone looked at the Gold Core monk who was vomiting blood.

Only Chen Ping took two steps back again.

This time, even though he used the soul whip and the Nether King's soul splitting technique to protect himself, the question still hit his heart and made his scalp numb.

Only he knew that the broken arm was not talking about the blood-spewing monk.

But him.

This kind of soulful dialogue cannot be faked.

Chen Ping even seemed to see the shadow of a golden toad floating on the broken arm for a moment.

Monster Race?

Chen Ping was shocked.

Didn't he say he was the Demon Ancestor?

Who is Zhao Changxing?

But when he took a closer look this time, the shadow had disappeared. Chen Ping didn't know if his soul was being attacked and he was hallucinating.

"Senior, we don't mean to disturb you. We just want to get out of the Canglan Grassland. Please give us a helping hand. I will remember this kindness for the rest of my life." Jiang Youwei stepped forward and saluted.

"Canglan Grassland? Where is it?" Broken Arm asked.

Like questioning, more like asking yourself.

In the confusion of everyone looking at each other, Broken Arm made another voice:

"Who am I? Where am I?"

"Zhao Changxing, who are you?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was confused.

Chen Ping was also confused.

Damn it, you don’t even know who Zhao Changxing is, how do you remember this name? Remember this sense of kendo?

"senior……"

Jiang Youwei still wanted to speak, but at this moment, the cave wall began to shake violently, and the attraction suddenly appeared.

Chen Ping knew it was time.

He took one last glance at the severed arm and runes, and put on layers of defense.

Next breath.

He found that he was back on the ground - in the valley where the mysterious ruins were located.

There are still some monks fighting the Demonic Beast in the valley, but it is clear that the Demonic Beast has begun to gain the upper hand.

"Fellow Daoists, there is no need to fight anymore, retreat. Return the way you came." Jiang Youwei shouted.

"Master, don't kill, retreat." Chen Ping saw Xiyue in the distance still hitting the Demonic Beast with spells, and quickly sent a message.

Is this cheap master addicted to killing?

After saying that, Chen Ping ignored others and quickly retreated along the way he came.

It can be seen that not everyone fell into the underground palace, but a considerable number of monks are still fighting on the ground. The other two leaders who cast spells with Jiang Youwei to break the formation have never appeared in the underground palace from beginning to end. They seem to have a clear division of labor.

But after such a long time, Demonic Beasts are constantly being alerted and coming to the wasteland, and the situation has been reversed.

The mortality rate of monks on the ground is probably no less than that of the underground palace.

Chen Ping saw that not many people were rushing back now.

This battle will probably result in heavy losses.
