Chen Xiao was a Feng Shui master before his death. He changed his fate to save his master, but died of old age.
When he opened his eyes, he came to a world of immortal cultivation where there...
Xi Yunting's expression was very serious. He said, "What is more difficult now is to wake them all up."
Chen Xiao said: "As far as I know, when cultivators are in seclusion, any external force other than waking up themselves will cause them to go astray."
There were hundreds of Taoists at the scene, and it was impossible for them to rescue the people without waking them up.
Xi Yunting glanced at the out-of-body cultivators who had accompanied them, and unfortunately, there were no disciples of the Jin Chan Sect among them.
He whispered, "The Jin Chan Sect has a spell that can wake people up without leaving any sequelae. Unfortunately, Rui Cheng is only at the Nascent Soul stage and didn't come along. We can only try a risky method."
Chen Xiao said: "What method?"
Xi Yunting said: "I will expand the domain and use disaster to imitate the lightning strike, so that they will have the illusion that they are advancing to the lightning, and there is a certain possibility that they will wake up. However, this method is not 100% effective, and there is a chance that the person's true essence will be violent and suddenly die."
Chen Xiao supported and said: "Now we can only try it out. Let's give it a try."
Chen Xiao asked the others to step back and leave enough space for Xi Yunting.
Xi Yunting summoned a rapier and spread out a domain, covering all the Taoist practitioners who were sitting cross-legged.
In the domain, he was like a god who controlled everything. On that day, he held the sword and went up against the sky, dispelling the calamity clouds with one sword. Disasters, in a certain sense, were a force that did not belong to the mortal world, just like the calamity thunder.
Chen Xiao and the others held their breath and concentrated. Xi Yunting's domain was empty and cold, and the pressure was suffocating, not to mention the sharp sword above, which was choking down like thunder!
“!!!” Xiao Xingchu opened his eyes suddenly, his whole body of true energy boiling, burning his head and face, and making his limbs hot, “Ahhhhhhhhh!!!”
He shouted loudly and used his magic weapon to resist the impending thunder.
He was breathing rapidly, his eyes were as big as bells, veins bulged on his neck, and he was in such a posture for a while, but the thunder did not strike him.
"Huh?" Xiao Xingchu looked around in confusion. When he saw the stone tower and lava, he remembered where he was.
After regaining his senses and noticing Xi Yunting not far away, Xiao Xingchu slowly felt the embarrassment of his loss of composure.
His performance was not the most exaggerated. Some Taoists shouted loudly, but did not even stand up. They fell to the ground and twitched as if they had been electrocuted, as if they had really been struck by lightning.
Others jumped up directly, rolled over and over, knocking others to the ground.
The one in a good situation was like Xiao Xingchu. He was so frightened that every hair on his body stood up. He was tense to prevent being struck by lightning. He opened his eyes for a while and came to his senses.
Xi Yunting kept holding the sword and pointing it straight ahead, and only after everyone who could wake up woke up did he slowly put away the disaster.
When his domain disappeared, Xiao Xingchu felt less pressured. He walked up to him and bowed to express his gratitude.
Xi Yunting shook his head and sighed: "Just don't blame me for being reckless, Brother Xiao."
Nearly a quarter of the people did not survive and died suddenly.
Xiao Xingchu pursed his lips and said, "When we decided to enter the death retreat, we were already prepared to die. No one will blame you."
Chen Xiao came over and the three of them talked about the situation.
Xiao Xingchu said: "We were trapped here. At first, we didn't despair and looked for a way out. Unfortunately, I am not proficient in magic arrays, so I can't leave this tower."
Among these Taoist practitioners, except for those from Changyang Palace who were all captured, the rest were left behind and captured in the first three formations of Chongshan Immortal Palace, and lost the ability to resist and were trapped in the final battle.
Most of them are independent cultivators and from small sects, and only a few are from large sects. Their cultivation levels are not very high.
Later, these people, led by Xiao Xingchu, who had the highest cultivation and status, realized that there was no hope of leaving. In order to prolong their survival, Xiao Xingchu proposed to go into seclusion.
Xiao Xingchu smiled bitterly and said, "At that time, I comforted everyone by saying that the longer we hold on, the more likely we are to be rescued. But I knew in my heart that no one would come to rescue us. I didn't expect that I would actually wait for you."
Chen Xiao said solemnly: "Our current situation is not optimistic. The magma pool below is full of white magma with extremely high temperature. Even a cultivator's physique is not immune to high temperature. Except for a passage in the magma pool leading to the outside world, we have no other way to go."
Xiao Xingchu thought for a moment and said, "How about gathering everyone's strength and using our true energy to create a tunnel as we go?"
Xi Yunting said: "If this is the case, we will completely lose the ability to resist the enemy. The evil cultivators have not been completely eliminated, and they can manipulate the white magma. I do not recommend doing this."
Xiao Xingchu frowned anxiously. They were out of ammunition and food, and everyone's true energy was not abundant. If they were asked to pass through the white magma on their own, I am afraid that few of them would be able to reach the shore alive.
Chen Xiao looked up at the highest spire and said, "That's Yan Duo's coffin up there, right?"
"Yeah." Xiao Xingchu frowned even deeper. He said, "We went up to check. All the things were taken away by the evil cultivators. There is nothing left."
Chen Xiao looked at him and said, "Did the evil cultivator take everything away? Did he only take away the magical instruments and elixirs that he was buried with, or did he take away the instruments as well?"
Xiao Xingchu looked at him in astonishment and said, "Of course the equipment is still there, but they are all worthless items."
When they first came here, knowing that this was Yan Duo's tomb, the Taoists also thought about searching for any treasures that had slipped through the net and seeing if there were any left behind.
They even opened the coffin lid, and there was really nothing inside except a dried corpse!
Chen Xiao seemed to be thinking about something. Xi Yunting glanced at him and asked, "Go up and take a look?"
"Yeah." Chen Xiao nodded.
Xiao Xingchu was anxious and helpless, and followed the two of them and said, "Shouldn't we think of a way to get out of danger?" instead of wasting time on meaningless things!
He complained in his heart, but had to go along with Chen Xiao and the others' wishes.
A few years ago, the two sides were still on equal footing, but in just a few years, the couple's cultivation level was one major realm higher than his.
The situation was stronger than the person, and Xiao Xingchu could only keep his opposition to himself.
Chen Xiao, Xi Yunting and Xiao Xingchu arrived at the top floor.
This is a large hexagonal room with twelve pillars on top of the walls, holding up a towering spire.
It can be seen that the space where the coffin is placed is carefully arranged. Perhaps it can be said that Yan Duo spent the last period of his life here.
"It shows signs of life." Chen Xiao looked at the furniture against the wall. All the furniture was empty, not a hair left. He walked over to take a closer look. "It's made of wood."
He knocked, but the furniture made a dull sound like hitting metal.
Xi Yunting touched it and said, "This should work."
Xiao Xingchu understood what they meant. "You mean, we can use the furniture here to build a ferry?"
Chen Xiao said, "The temperature here is extremely high, and has long exceeded the burning point of normal wood—" He thought for a moment and felt that Xiao Xingchu probably couldn't understand, "It's just that ordinary wood can't bear it."
Xiao Xingchu nodded and said, "I understand what you mean." He was too embarrassed to admit that he had made a mistake. The materials used to make these inconspicuous furniture were actually treasures.
Xi Yunting said: "This is most likely the extinct poinciana tree, which is more fire-resistant than sycamore wood."
Chen Xiao said: "He lives here and uses these furniture. He must use the best fire-resistant materials in case of fire. The chain is not afraid of white magma, but the chain is a path and cannot be removed."
Xiao Xingchu said: "This white magma should be Yan Duo's last resort to protect his body. His coffin must also be the best fireproof material!"
Knowing that these materials were fireproof, the Taoist priests below rushed up and snatched the few pieces of furniture.
When these people were faced with desperate situations, they were able to make up their minds and stay in seclusion to fight to the death, but once they knew there was a chance to escape, they would start fighting.
In the end, the out-of-body cultivators who came with Chen Xiao and the others joined forces to subdue these people. They gathered all the poinciana trees together and built a closed submarine-like thing.
Chen Xiao had long been accustomed to all kinds of things in the world, and he was not angry, he just watched coldly.
Of course, not all people were like this. Chen Xiao saw several people picking up Yan Duo's bones that had been scattered due to the scramble, and put them together again.
