Chapter 533
Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan rushed there, but they only saw the monk and the womanish cultivator.
The monk smiled. “Mr. Xiao, you finally come. I’ve been waiting for you.”
Xiao Jinting asked curiously, “Only the two of you?”
The monk nodded. “Yes.”
Xiao Jinting asked directly, “Where is the passage?”
The monk toyed with the beads with his hand and said, “At the bottom of the lake.”
Xu Muan stood next to Xiao Jinting and looked at them defensively.
Xiao Jinting stifled his curiosity and followed the two of them down the lake. He hadn’t expected the entrance to the twelfth floor to be located in the deep of the lake. He wondered how they located it.
Xiao Jinting said, “You are awesome. The entrance is well hidden. It might take me a hundred years to find it.”
The monk sighed. “If Mr. Liu hadn’t said that he liked to play with handsome men in the lake, we wouldn’t have found the entrance.”
Xiao Jinting was speechless. The womanish cultivator liked to play with handsome men in the lake? What a peculiar hobby.
After going through the passage at the bottom of the lake, they finally went to the twelfth floor, which was a gigantic teleportation array.
Xiao Jinting got excited at the sight of the Immortal Crystal embedded in the array.
He said with bright eyes, “The quality of the Immortal Crystal seems better than that of the secret realm formed by the fragments of the Immortal World.”
The monk shook his head and said solemnly, “We can’t touch the crystal. If we want to activate the array, we need the crystal. We can’t be selfish and stop others from ascending to the Immortal World.”
Flame looked at the array and sent a message to Xiao Jinting. “The monk is right. To activate the array, we need the crystal of such fine quality. Besides, I guess the remaining spiritual force of the crystal could only support three times of teleportation. From the look of the array, it could only take four people at one time.”
“But the monk says that we can’t be selfish and stop others from ascending to the Immortal World. He sounds hypocritical.”
“I guess he attempted to take the Immortal Crystal, but he failed. It’s odd. The monk and the womanish cultivator don’t look selfless. Why do they invite you?”
The monk looked at Xiao Jinting and said, “Mr. Xiao, what do you think of the array?”
Xiao Jinting said with admiration, “It’s marvelous.”
The monk nodded and said admiringly, “Yes. Array specialists in our world might not be able to create such a powerful array, which should be produced by the immortals. The methods of the immortals are incredible.” He paused and went on, “It’s a pity that we can’t activate the array.”
Xiao Jinting realized something was wrong. “Why not?”
The monk said, “I studied the array with Liu Xian and found we need a key to activate the array.”
Something suddenly came across Xiao Jinting’s mind. He said, “The Tripod of Heaven and Earth?”
The monk nodded and said, “That’s right. Mr. Xiao, you are very intelligent. I heard that your tripod is from the tower, so I think it must be the key to the array.”
Xiao Jinting smiled. It dawned on him. No wonder the monk and Liu Xian only asked him to go with them. They needed the key.
The monk asked, “Mr. Xiao, are you reluctant to give up your tripod?”
Xiao Jinting said, “Not at all. The Tripod of Heaven and Earth is a rare treasure in our world, but it might be a piece of trash in the Immortal World. I don’t mind giving it up as long as I can ascend to the Immortal World.”
“I’m glad you think that way. Your spiritual swords are invincible, and the tripod is nothing compared to them.”
Xiao Jinting smiled without saying another world. The Heavenly Thunder Wood was one of three divine trees. His spiritual swords helped him a lot in warding off the thunder retribution and absorbed the force of the retribution instead of being damaged. As a result, the swords got more powerful than before.
…
Xiao Jinting tossed the tripod into the array, and the four of them activated the array.
Xiao Jinting was pulled into the array.
He felt he was in a bottomless black hole. After flying in the hold for a long time, he plopped onto the ground when he was almost out of breath.
It was a hard fall.
Flame perched on his shoulder and said happily, “My stupid master, did the falling kill you? If not, get up quickly. Do you sense we are in the Immortal World? The immortal Qi is rich here.” How wonderful.
Xiao Jinting got to his feet, surprised to find that he couldn’t fly.
Flame laughed at him. “The gravity of the Immortal World is much stronger than that of the Spiritual World. You are only a Deity Transformation, and you can’t fly here.”
Xiao Jinting said sulkily, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
Flame said sullenly, “I’ve been trapped for tens of thousands of years. How could I remember so many things? After I come back here, I seem to remember some of them.”
Xiao Jinting asked, “Where’s Muan?”
Flame said indifferently, “I guess he has been transported to somewhere else. Don’t worry. A short time of separation can deepen the love between you. Take your time, and you will find him.”
“However, if he is unlucky and dies, you can’t find him. Even if that happens, it’s not a bad thing. The three most wonderful things in one’s life are advancement, wealth, and the death of your spouse…”
“If Xu Muan dies, you can marry a female immortal here. If you don’t like females, you can marry a male immortal. However, the male immortals here are stronger than you. You will be at the bottom.”
Xiao Jinting’s face darkened. “Shut up. Don’t curse Muan.”
Flame sensed his fury and said awkwardly, “Okay. I’ll shut up.”
