The surroundings were misty and the light was very dim. Xiao Chen felt a little dizzy and didn’t know where he had landed.

“Little friend is the first person to arrive here in these 600 years …”

At this moment, an old man’s voice suddenly came from not far away. Xiao Chen’s expression immediately became serious and he became alert. He looked in the direction where the voice came from and said, “Who is here?”

The surrounding fog gradually dispersed. It turned out that this was a very spacious hall. In the middle of the hall, there was a stone platform. On the stone platform sat an old man sitting cross-legged.

But looking at that old man Qingyi’s white hair and immortal style, he was quite extraordinary. In an instant, Xiao Chen understood.

It turned out that this was already the 81st floor. The white-haired old man in front of him was probably what Qingyi had said. More than 600 years ago, that peerless Senior Yiye Qing.

“May I ask … but Senior Yiye Qing is here?”

Xiao Chen slowly walked towards the stone platform. At this moment, he could feel the ancient aura on the other party’s body. However, he recalled that this “Yiye Qing” in front of him was only a spiritual will left behind by Yiye Qing more than 600 years ago.

It seemed that Senior Yiye Qing was indeed very good.

Xiao Chen slowly walked over and cupped his hands. “This junior’s surname is Xiao,” he said, “Yi Chen.”

“Little friend Xiao.”

Yiye Qing opened her eyes and slowly stood up. She walked over to the stone platform and said, “Six hundred years ago, I gave an order that if Celestial Pogoda were to encounter a crisis in the future, people would come to the eighty-first floor. Now, it seems that Celestial Pogoda has encountered a crisis.”

Although this Yiye Qing in front of him was only a will of divine will, he was more intelligent than the four people on the 72nd floor. Therefore, he could also be regarded as a true clone of Yiye Qing’s primordial spirit.

“Celestial Pogoda … Something has happened recently.”

Xiao Chen arrived in front of him and told him about True Monarch Xuanxiao. After Yiye Qing heard this, he didn’t seem to be surprised at all. He only let out a long sigh.

However, he didn’t know if this anger was a sigh of True Monarch Xuanxiao’s fall into Diabolism, or of Celestial Pogoda’s decline over the past 600 years.

After a long time, he finally heard him say, “Little friend, being able to come here is enough to show that if your will is not firm enough, no matter how high your cultivation is, it will be difficult for you to ascend to the eighty-first level of the Illusory Heavens Realm. Little friend … you are very good.”

At this moment, Yiye Qing’s gaze when he looked at Xiao Chen was undoubtedly certain. This will of divine will had stayed here for 600 years, but in the past 600 years, no one had been able to come up here.

“Senior … that’s ridiculous.”

Xiao Chen looked at him and then looked around the hall. At this moment, he could faintly feel a very rich profound energy. At the same time, there was also a surge of sword qi. He thought to himself, could it be that Senior Yiye Qing had left behind such a rich profound energy and mysterious sword qi here?

Yiye Qing said, “Little friend has a keen divine sense. I think I have already noticed that before I went to the Ancient Devil Profound Realm, I left thirty-six strands of Heavenly Dipper Profound Qi and three strands of Six Yang Sword Qi here.”

“Senior, what you mean is …”

At this moment, Xiao Chen immediately understood. Before this, he was still thinking, if Yiye Qing had left behind something that could resolve the danger of Celestial Pogoda, then why would he put it so high up so that no one would be able to go?

And now, he already knew that Yiye Qing had left behind these 36 strands of Heavenly Dipper Profound Qi and three strands of Sword Qi. If he didn’t have the strength to reach the top of the tower, then he wouldn’t be able to withstand these 36 strands of Heavenly Dipper Profound Qi and Sword Qi …

“That’s right.”

Yiye Qing nodded and said, “In the past 600 years, only Little friend Xiao has been able to come up here. This is probably also the will of the heavens. There is no second person in this world who can withstand 36 strands of Heavenly Dipper Profound Qi at the same time … These 36 strands of Heavenly Dipper Profound Qi are sufficient to contend against True Monarch Xuanxiao’s power of the Eight Desolates.”

“I see …”

At this moment, Xiao Chen seemed to have come to a sudden realization. Could it be that this Senior Yiye Qing was already in this situation more than 600 years ago?

Yiye Qing said, “Little friend, if you are ready, let me know. Once I activate the formation and introduce the 36 strands of Heavenly Dipper Profound Qi into your body, you must remember that once it starts, it cannot be stopped. During this period of time, you will have to endure unbearable pain. No matter what, you must persevere. Otherwise, if you fail, the consequences will be unpredictable.”

“Wait.”

Xiao Chen raised his hand and Yiye Qing said, “How is it? Are you still worried?”

“Fei Ye.”

Xiao Chen looked at him and said, “There’s something that I am really wants to know. What exactly is the demon suppressed beneath Celestial Pogoda …”

“Could it be that Jitana Four Daoists didn’t tell you about this?”

“Four Daoists did talk to I am about it, but I think the whole thing is unusual and maybe Four Daoists doesn’t know much.”

Xiao Chen stared at him motionlessly. At this moment, he was even more certain in his heart that Celestial Pogoda didn’t know much about the demons suppressed under Four Daoists, and this Senior Yiye Qing in front of him definitely knew more.

Celestial Pogoda was founded more than three thousand years ago, about the same time as Xuanqing Sect opened its sect. However, this tower was not called Celestial Pogoda before, and it had existed for countless years.

In other words, the existence of this pagoda was very likely to suppress the demons of the Underground Profound Realm, so who was it that had such a big hand?

Yiye Qing stroked his white beard and looked at him. “Looks like there are indeed many doubts in little friend’s heart. If you can’t solve these doubts, you probably won’t be able to concentrate on fusing with the Heavenly Dipper Profound Qi.”

Xiao Chen said, “Senior, please resolve the doubts in I am’s heart.”

“That’s good … You come with me.”

As Yiye Qing spoke, he moved forward. Xiao Chen followed him to the window. Outside, it was like a small world with blue skies, white clouds, flowers, plants, trees, and a small mountain stream.

“Do you see the outside world?”

“As vivid as life.”

“Then do you believe in reincarnation?”

“Senior, what did you say?”

Xiao Chen looked at him. He didn’t know why he suddenly asked this question. Yiye Qing looked at the world outside the window and said, “Do you see that big tree?”

Xiao Chen looked at the big tree he was talking about and said, “Leaves of trees fall into the soil. A year later, the trees will grow new leaves. A hundred years later, the trees will wither and turn into soil. Soon, new buds will emerge from the soil. A hundred years later, they will become big trees again …”

“That’s right. Little friend’s opinion is very clear.”

Yiye Qing looked at the big tree outside the window and said, “This is reincarnation. The entire world is like this reincarnation. It is endless, but there is no escape from life and death. This is the Heavenly Dao.”

“Heavenly Dao …”

At this moment, Xiao Chen seemed to understand something. He slowly said, “If someone wants to reverse the Heavenly Dao, then it seems like it is just a mirror image.”

“Does little friend know about Annihilation?” Yiye Qing turned around and looked at him again.

“Annihilation …”

Xiao Chen was somewhat impressed, but he did not have a deep impression. Yiye Qing looked out of the window and said, “Just as I said, the entire world is like an endless cycle of reincarnation. Extreme prosperity is bound to decline, and extreme decline is bound to flourish. No matter how glorious and prosperous each era is, it will inevitably be annihilated when it fails.”

He paused for a moment before continuing, “When annihilation arrives, everything will be in the past and everything will start from scratch. This is the Heavenly Dao … Do you see that tree outside?”

In such a short period of time, the big tree outside had become much more luxuriant. However, very quickly, the leaves of the tree began to wither and wither. Finally, it was completely buried in the soil, and everything returned to dust.

This time, Xiao Chen understood something and said, “When the candle burns out, it usually emits the most dazzling light at the last moment and then returns to darkness …”

“That’s right.”

Yiye Qing turned around and looked at him, “When annihilation arrives, a large amount of spiritual energy will gush into the entire world. Most people’s cultivation will also advance by leaps and bounds at this time to resist the arrival of annihilation …”

Xiao Chen continued, “So there are people who want to try to prevent the coming of annihilation … No, no, there are people who want to reverse the Heavenly Dao, but they have accelerated the coming of annihilation.”

After hearing this, Yiye Qing did not comment, He looked out of the window again, He slowly said, “The last time it was annihilated, there were records in ancient books. Tens of thousands of years ago, there were records in ancient books as well. More than 10,000 years ago, the Ancient Oriental Cultivation World was completely shattered and nothing was left behind. Even those Immortal Demon Gods and Buddhas that are known as eternal immortality disappeared with that annihilation … Even if their cultivation is like ours, compared to the vast Heavenly Dao, they are nothing more than dust.”

“So what does all of this have to do with the demons sealed underground?” Xiao Chen looked at him and said slowly.

Yiye Qing turned around and said, “This demon may have something to do with the last annihilation.”

“Last time it was annihilated …”

Xiao Chen’s expression froze. More than 10,000 years ago, the Ancient Oriental Cultivation World shattered. That time, it might not have been true annihilation. The true annihilation should have occurred even longer ago. At that time, the Immortal Devil Divine Buddha and countless peak experts in the world had all perished and disappeared.

No one knew what the situation was like at that time. Even ancient books did not contain a single word. Even if they did, they were mostly fabricated by some storytellers in later generations.

“Senior, what you mean is that if this demon breaks through the seal, it might bring annihilation?”

“I don’t rule out this possibility.”

Yiye Qing nodded slightly. At this moment, the space between his eyebrows gradually deepened and his face revealed a worried expression. He continued, “Actually, little friend doesn’t know that what Celestial Pogoda is suppressing and sealing is only one of the Ancient Devil’s right arms.”

“What?”

This time, Xiao Chen was slightly shocked. Yiye Qing stroked his white beard and nodded slightly, “This demon has long been torn apart. Its head, torso, limbs, and heart … have been suppressed and sealed somewhere in the mortal world, never to see the light of day.”
