Chapter 623 High Priest

But he didn't want to care about the safety of the spiritual world. He just wanted Luo Li to be safe.

As if seeing through the two people's thoughts, the old man smiled slightly. That smile was like a spring breeze, warm and profound. "This is why I came here."

The old man slowly stretched out his palm, and the light in his palm gathered, turning into a soft green light, gently brushing across the withered fairy grass.

As the green light caressed the flowers, miraculously, the lifeless leaves and petals began to tremble slightly, as if they were given new life.

The withered and yellow color gradually faded away, replaced by vigorous vitality and the spiritual light reappeared. Every fairy grass straightened its back again and bloomed with unprecedented brilliance.

The air was filled with a faint fragrance, which was completely different from the previous dead atmosphere, as if the entire space was reborn with the revival of life.

Luo Li and Di Xuanming exchanged glances, each expressing surprise, "This power..."

The old man smiled and said, "I'm ashamed. I only realized a little bit of the power of the laws of heaven and was able to temporarily support the spiritual world."

"So?" Luo Li's eyes flickered slightly, "What does this have to do with Senior coming here?"

Hearing this, the old man looked at Luo Li with some subtlety. Before he could do anything, a tall figure took two steps forward and hid Luo Li behind him.

Di Xuanming looked at the visiting old man with an unbiased gaze, and said in a slightly cold voice, "When it comes to matters in the spirit world, since the people in the spirit world themselves can't figure it out, are they really still thinking of relying on others?"

The old man laughed and shook his head, "I haven't said anything yet."

There was a hint of helplessness and a smile in his words. He gently stroked his gray beard, and his eyes moved between Di Xuanming and Luo Li, as if he could read the love and protective desire in the eyes of the young man.

He slowly raised his hand, and a gentle light condensed in his palm. The light gradually turned into a blurry picture. The picture was filled with clouds and mist, and the mountains and rivers were vague. It seemed to be a secret place in some unknown place.

Luo Li and Di Xuanming only felt a flash before their eyes, and they saw an endless stretch of mountains.

Luo Li felt unfamiliar, but Di Xuanming did not.

This is the Continent of Ten Thousand Beasts.

When I came back to my senses, it was already evening outside from noon.

Luo Li was startled. She poked her head out from behind Di Xuanming's shoulder and said bluntly, "Let's get straight to the point, Senior. What is your purpose for coming here?"

She raised her hand and said, "Of course, if they want us to go to the spirit world to help, then that shouldn't be possible. After all, as you can see, I'm only a one-star spirit emperor."

The old man smiled kindly and said, "I do want your help, but I don't want you to go to the spirit world."

Di Xuanming and Luo Li turned to look at each other, and he said calmly, "Senior, please speak frankly."

"Then I'll be frank." The old man sighed softly and said slowly, "The reason I came here is actually to find an ancient artifact in this secret realm. It concerns the future survival of the spiritual world, and Miss Luo Li may be the key to solving this mystery."

Di Xuanming's eyes darkened as he clasped Luo Li's hand. "Senior, why do you think we can help? Or rather, why do you think A'li is the key to solving the mystery?"

The old man took out a dull ancient jade from his sleeve, on which was engraved a complex and difficult-to-determine totem. As he slowly handed it to Luo Li, the ancient jade seemed to be activated, releasing a faint light, which echoed with the faintly surging spiritual power in Luo Li's body, forming circles of subtle ripples.

The old man's eyes flickered slightly, and he whispered, "It's actually true..."

Luo Li narrowed her eyes and suppressed the restless power in her body, "Senior, please don't say such nonsense."

The old man was stunned for a moment, sighed, and then said, "You should have seen the current situation of the spirit world."

Luo Li felt a little more cautious, but smiled faintly, "So?"

The old man continued, "With my current strength, I can only hold on for a hundred years at most. After a hundred years, I will die, but the spiritual world will completely dissipate."

"This secret realm was calculated by the treasure of my spiritual world. It is an ancient secret realm that will appear in the world in three years. It contains something that can change the fate of my spiritual world."

He paused, glanced at Luo Li again, and whispered, "There are also the answers you want to find."

When Luo Li heard this, the aura around her unconsciously became a little heavier. She looked up at the old man. Although the old man's eyes were a little tired, they were not turbid.

There was even a hint of hope in the look in his eyes as he looked at her.

The air around her seemed to become heavy with her emotions, as if even time had slowed down at this moment.

Beside the old man, a faint light quietly rose. It was a faint manifestation of the power of the origin of the law. Under the reflection of this light, the surrounding scenery became hazy and illusory, as if everything was telling of the crisis that the spiritual world was about to face.

He sighed and said, "My time is up, Luo Xiaoyou, what is your answer?"

Di Xuanming pursed his lips, lowered his eyes to look at Luo Li, but did not say anything.

He would not interfere with Luo Li's decision. He would only become stronger and be able to stand behind her and block all obstacles for her.

Luo Li lowered her eyes, and no one knew what she was thinking.

After a moment, she gently opened her red lips, her voice soft but filled with undeniable power, "Senior, the survival of the spirit world cannot be borne by one person. But if that secret realm contains something that can change the entire spirit world, then why shouldn't I go?"

The old man's figure began to gradually blur. His eyes lit up when he heard the words, but before he could say anything, he heard Luo Li's next words.

"But..." Luo Li raised her eyes, her gaze clear, "I want to know something, could you please tell me?"

The old man nodded, "You say."

Luo Li narrowed her eyes slightly, "I want to know where the power that erodes the entire spiritual world comes from."

The old man sighed and did not hide anything, "If what I feel is correct, this power comes from the one in the Ninth Heaven of the Continent of Gods."

The old man's words were like a wisp of smoke in the cold wind, slowly drifting in the air.

really……

Emperor Xuanming's eyes suddenly focused, as if they could penetrate the endless void and look directly at the unreachable Continent of Gods.

The surrounding scene seemed to change with the old man's words. Under the night sky of the spiritual world, the stars were dim, and only Luo Li and Di Xuanming were shrouded in a circle of faint light, which was a reflection of her inner determination and thirst for knowledge.

She took a deep breath and felt a suppressed and ancient atmosphere in the air, as if even time had become heavy at this moment.

The old man's figure seemed even more ethereal in the dim light, but his eyes were extremely firm. He looked directly at Luo Li, slowly raised his hand, and lightly tapped the void with his fingertips.
