Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 163 Tower 13
There are three constellations on this level, and including the circled middle area, there are a total of four suspicious locations.

Before taking action, Wei Xi asked Feng Xiaotian if all four points could be tried.

Feng Xiaotian avoided looking at him and just said he would try his best.

Considering that there was no better way at the moment, Wei Xi chose to take a gamble.

Wei Xi shouted to the disappointed Feng Yun and the others, "Try the middle one first!"

The two of them cast spells in the middle area as instructed. Feng Xiaotian also understood the situation and was very particular about the direction of the spell, trying to use the upper stairs to save spiritual energy.

However, there was a small problem on Wei Xi's side.

A disciple of the Wanfa Sect wearing a pure black Taoist robe came over on a sword.

Seeing the arrival of such a cultivator who had just established his foundation, Wei Xi's hair stood on end: This person was fighting with the mermaid to a standstill just now, how come he ran here all of a sudden?
If the Wang brothers and sisters were still alive, perhaps they could have found a back door.

Unfortunately, Wei Xi and her team have no connection with the Wanjian Sect.

Wei Xi was just about to give the other party a good beating, but unexpectedly, the other party chopped the main foundation-building cultivator who was fighting with Qin Feng with a sword.

Fortunately, this is a competition with protective measures.

Wei Xi broke out in a cold sweat for the unfortunate cultivator. If he really competed with the cultivators of the Wanjian Sect for the opportunity, he would directly become a lonely soul under their swords.

Wei Xi immediately felt relieved again. It seemed that the cultivators from the Wanjian Sect were not coming for his team.

As long as this god doesn't set his sights on me, everything will be fine.

Unexpectedly, the development of the matter once again exceeded Wei Xi's expectations.

The cultivators from the Wanjian Sect actually helped a few people deal with the sneak attackers.

This man is quite strong and looks honest and reliable. Just looking at his appearance makes people feel close to him for no reason.

He had killed several monks, and the blood on his face could not be ignored.

Elder Xian Hua's talisman really only saves one life, without losing any blood or wounds.

Wei Xi suddenly realized: This person is here to help!
It is estimated that the cultivators of Wanjian Sect guessed the intentions of Wei Xi and the others and agreed with them, so they sent a cultivator to help.

With this person around, the pressure on Wei Xi and the other three was suddenly reduced, and they were able to take a break.

Soon Feng Xiaotian built a second staircase. The waves hit the ice ladder, and the insects in the sea were frozen and stuck to the ice surface, meeting the same end as their brothers inside.

Lian Gouyu went to investigate and soon shouted, "It's done!"

At the critical moment, Wei Xi did not dare to relax for a moment. She signaled Qin Feng to go find Lian Gou to meet up, and she would cover their retreat.

Qin Feng refused and ordered Wei Xi to go up quickly.

"My fellow Daoists," a cultivator from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect said, splitting the several-foot-high insect wave with a single sword. "Hurry up! Our sect will cover your retreat!"

Wei Xi was suspicious and was trying to find a reason to stay, but the other party interrupted him.

"My fellow Daoist, if I had my heart set on it, none of you would be my match. Since I want to use your stairs, I won't attack you."

Although these words were irritating, the person who said them was indeed powerful, and for a moment, Wei Xi's cunning thoughts were all suppressed.

Qin Feng clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, fellow Daoist. We'll go up first!"

After saying that, Qin Feng pulled Wei Xi up the stairs.

Wei Xi felt like she was about to have indigestion from all the questions. Why did she feel like the people from the Wanjian Sect were hiding something from her?
Halfway up the stairs, Wei Xi thought of his bag of chili powder again, and began to wonder. Then he realized that the man's sword was not the silver-white sword.

Wei Xi was afraid that someone from the Wanjian Sect would come looking for him, so he didn't insist and climbed up the stairs.

As usual, as soon as people climbed up, they were randomly teleported away by the formation.

"Wei Xi?" Lian Gou's voice came over.

This environment made Wei Xi feel as if he had returned to the Silk Pupa Cemetery in Baoxiang City.

Wei Xi shuddered, shaking off the bad memories in his mind. A rustling sound came to his ears, which he could tell was the sound of Lian Gou rubbing the underpants.

"Wei Xi, is that you? Or Qin Feng?"

"Fellow Daoist Lian Gou... stop touching me. I'm Feng Xiaotian."

"……Oh."

There was a faint smell of earth around them. Wei Xi, showing rare kindness, spoke up to help, "I'm here. Is everyone here?"

Qin Feng's voice was heard, and Ge Cang and Yun Qing also responded.

"What's going on on this floor?" Yun Qing asked, "Why is it so dark?"

"This is how it was when we came up here," Lian Gou-yu, the pathfinder, replied, "Does anyone have a fire starter?"

Yun Qing's face appeared along with the light. The lamp she was holding was a hundred times brighter than a tinderbox, illuminating her area brightly.

Wei Xi reached out and touched it, and found moist soil on his hand.

"Are we... buried?" Qin Feng looked at the plant roots hanging in the soil in front of him, his pupils filled with shock.

"Is the staircase wrong?" Feng Xiaotian didn't believe it and reached out to grab a handful. Unlike the fine sand on the sixth floor, what he held in his hand was indeed a handful of soil.

Ge Cang's face was pale, and she seemed to be having difficulty breathing. She forced herself to say, "What's under Fellow Daoist Yun's legs is... a teleportation formation..."

People were teleported away as soon as they came up to the previous floors of the wooden tower. It seemed that this floor was really the seventh floor.

The tunnel they were in was extremely narrow, making it difficult to turn over. The soil was covered with roots of various plants, and Wei Xi and the other two couldn't help but think of those blood-sucking grass roots.

The formation's teleportation naturally didn't care about the postures of the few people, and crammed all six of them into this small space.

Wei Xi and Ge Cang were facing each other, Yun Qing showed amazing flexibility, and Qin Feng had half of his body sandwiched between Wei Xi and the tunnel.

"Where did the Zhenhai Sect find this secret realm?" Lian Gouqie said angrily, "It's getting more and more weird!"

Feng Xiaotian, who was stacked with him, kept reducing the contact area between them. "These sects have all kinds of secret realms. The Zhenhai Sect is under the control of the Wanjian Sect, so it's not that special."

"Why don't you go to Sanyangxu and take a look? Forget the secret realm. Outsiders won't be able to figure out the mechanisms there even if they scratch their heads."

The few of them had a hard time on the sixth floor, and had consumed a lot of their spiritual energy. Unfortunately, the seventh floor was also strangely tight. If the surrounding soil had not been compacted, the few of them would have been no different from being buried alive.

"Let's get out of here quickly," Wei Xi warned. "It's damp here, and the space is cramped. If you stay here for a while, you'll feel chest tightness and shortness of breath."

Not only that, Ge Cang's condition was getting worse and worse. Not only was his face tense, but even his breathing became rapid.

"Should we try to blast away the mud?" Qin Feng suggested.

Wei Xi used his hands to measure the height above and below, then shook his head and said, "Don't try it yet. If you blast it open, what will happen if the soil collapses?"

"Even if we weren't crushed to death, the collapsed earth would have taken up space, and suffocating six people to death wouldn't be worth it."

Lian Gouqie finally separated from Feng Xiaotian completely. He shouted, "Stop! Take a look at the environment first, and try again later!"

The six people, with restricted postures, crawled forward in the tunnel, and from time to time they had to cut off the tough and thick roots in the soil. Before they had crawled a few feet, they were all covered in dust.

Wei Xi kept an eye on Ge Cang's condition, fearing that something might happen to the informant he had taken so much trouble to recruit.

Ge Cang seemed not to want to be a drag, and tried to remain calm no matter how uncomfortable he felt.

But her breathing rhythm and increasingly ugly expression could not deceive anyone, but she had not been injured when she entered the secret realm, so how could this happen?

"Fellow Daoist Ge," Wei Xi asked softly, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No..." Ge Cang forced a smile, "...I was accidentally locked in...a closet...it's dark and narrow here...I can't stand it."
