A huge gap suddenly appeared on the snow-white ice. In the gap was a black stone staircase extending downward, leading to the dark underground.
Tu Zhi, who had already reached the stage of transcending tribulation, stood in front of the stairs and entered without much hesitation.
As we walked down the stairs step by step, the surroundings became darker, damper and colder. The flame of the lamp in Tu Zhi's hand had been suppressed by the damp water vapor and was likely to be extinguished at any time.
Tu Zhi stopped and looked deeply at the endless stairs spreading into the darkness. She frowned and pondered for a moment, then raised the lamp in her hand, pursed her lips and blew out a breath, completely extinguishing the flames.
The surrounding area suddenly became invisible. Tu Zhi did not hesitate too much, holding on to the wet wall and continued walking forward.
It was so quiet in the darkness that he could clearly hear his own heartbeat, which was infinitely amplified here.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Gradually, in addition to the sound of his heartbeat, there was another heartbeat.
Every beat of that heartbeat sounded closely after his, with only half a beat missing. If he hadn't been careful, he might not have noticed it at all.
Tu Zhi stopped and began to carefully identify where this heartbeat came from——
Right behind him!
Tu Zhi immediately turned around, quickly pinched out a yellow talisman with two fingers, and threw it behind him.
The fire instantly lit up everything around him, and he suddenly realized that he was no longer on the stairs. There was a flat ground under his feet, with four huge pillars scattered around.
Not far away, a withered corpse sat on a bone throne, and next to the corpse was the skeleton of a huge monster beast.
"After so many years, you are the first person to notice my existence." A deep male voice sounded, echoing in the space.
Tu Zhi calmed down her careless expression, stepped forward, bowed her hands in front of the corpse, and called out respectfully: "Senior."
In fact, what made that sound was just a trace of spiritual thought that remained here. It was not aware of Tu Zhi's movements at all and kept talking on its own.
"I am a monk from the Haoming Realm - Dao Lord Youchen. I once killed the monster Kui Niu here!" The voice said proudly, "Boy, since you are here with me by fate, I will transfer my Taoism to you."
Teach it to you."
The moment the voice fell, a drop of water shimmering with blue light flew towards Tuzhi.
Just when the water droplets were about to sink into Tu Zhi's head, Tu Zhi, who was standing there, suddenly had a sharp look in his eyes and raised his hand to block it.
He closed his palms and directly caught the water drop in his palm, actually rejecting this inheritance.
That mind didn't know that someone would reject its inheritance, thinking that Tu Zhi had accepted the scroll, and laughed heartily.
"Hahaha, good! The Taoist lineage of my Taoist Lord Youchen is indeed destined to die. Now that you have accepted my inheritance, you can be regarded as my disciple. You must not lose the reputation of my Taoist Lord Youchen in the future!"
After that, the corpse in the Throne of Bones disappeared with the wind.
And as the body returned to dust, the bones of Kui Niu, who had been hostile to him for thousands of years, were also silently annihilated.
Tu Zhi lowered his eyes and looked at the drop of water in his hand, with a hint of ridicule and teasing in his expression.
This moral tradition is not rare to him.
But...he wants to use it to do something interesting.
At this time, the entire space shook violently, the spiritual thoughts disappeared, and the four stone pillars supporting the place also had cracks and would collapse at any time.
Tu Zhi's expression immediately changed and he quickly flew towards the exit.
Behind you, large pieces of gravel kept falling down!
Rumble!
The loud noise echoed endlessly on the ninth floor of Yuxu, and the ground began to crack and dent. The Yuhu Lake seemed to be boiling, rolling and bubbling.
What's even more frightening is that a loophole seems to have appeared in Yuhu Lake. The water in the lake begins to leak crazily towards the bottom. More and more exposed ground is exposed, and the water in the lake is getting less and less.
Bai Xin supported Ye Taotao, who was unsteady due to the vibration of the ground, frowned tightly, and scanned the surrounding environment coldly and seriously.
It's obvious that the ninth floor is going to collapse.
"We can't stay any longer." Bai Xin picked up Ye Taotao, glanced at Xiao Yan again, and said, "Let's leave here immediately."
Although he didn't know why the ninth floor suddenly collapsed, Xiao Yan did not raise any objection to Bai Xin's words and followed him in agreement.
At this moment, neither of them mentioned the inheritance again. After all, no matter how good the inheritance is, it cannot compare to surviving.
Looking at the Yuhu Lake that was gradually drying up, Bai Xin jumped in with Ye Taotao in his arms.
Following closely behind were Xiao Yan and Yu Baobao.
Wrapped in bubbles again, Bai Xin and Xiao Yan skillfully controlled the direction of the bubbles and floated towards the third floor where they came from.
After floating in the lake for an unknown amount of time, they finally saw the third level of the lake, and they immediately floated up.
To the surprise of Bai Xin and Xiao Yan, they thought that after the news of the collapse of Yuxu came out, all the people inside would run away in a hurry.
However, after walking some distance on the third floor, they were surprised to find that everyone was still doing their own thing without any signs of running away.
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded behind Ye Taotao and others: "Oh, Brother Bai, nephew Xiao Xian, I've been looking for you for a long time!"
Bai Xin and Xiao Yan looked back and saw Wan Nantong walking towards them with a smile on his face.
Boxin quickly greeted: "Brother Wan."
Wan Nantong smiled at him and said, "I finally found you. Something happened in Yuxu. I was just thinking of going out with you. What do you think?"
Bai Xin looked around, with a puzzled look on his face, "What happened? Although I saw a few movements before, everything around him was as usual, and it didn't look like anything was going on."
Wan Muntong smiled and said maturely: "Brother Bai, you are still too young. I will teach you a lesson. If you want to avoid most disputes, it is best to take the first step before others can react."
Bai Xin showed an expression of "I would like to hear the details".
Universal Passage: "The entrance to the ninth floor of Yuxu collapsed, but it did not affect the lower floors, so others did not take it to heart and everything is as usual."
"But, Brother Bai, you might as well guess, what happened to cause the entrance to the ninth floor to collapse?"
Bai Xin shook his head and said, "Brother Wan, you don't have to lie anymore."
Universal Channel: "The outside world says that there is a inheritance in Yuxu, but no one has ever obtained it in so many years... In my opinion, that inheritance must be on the ninth level, and just now, someone got it. I must have passed it.
Soon, someone will come to compete for this inheritance."
Bai Xin was slightly surprised, but he didn't expect Wan Mingtong to have guessed it right.
However, his face did not reveal anything. Instead, he complimented Wan Nantong and said, "So that's it. Brother Wan is really well-informed."
Wan Mangtong waved his hand: "Okay, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time, we'd better get out as soon as possible."
The group of people walked towards the exit of Yuxu. As soon as they left the Yuxu, they saw several figures on the horizon, rushing towards this direction.
