Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

Ignoring his floating state, Li Xiu hurriedly transmitted his voice to Li Duotian, saying, "Li Duotian, don't swing the last axe!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a rumbling sound coming from the ground below him.

"Damn it, it's too late." Hearing this voice, Li Xiu knew that he was still a step too late.

At this moment, Li Duotian's voice slowly came through. "I'm sorry, Master, I just finished chopping when your voice came."

"Master, what are your instructions now?"

Upon hearing Li Duotian's voice, Li Xiu was so angry he wanted to punch him.

But there was no other way; escaping was the priority.

Li Xiu hurriedly transmitted his voice to Li Duotian, saying, "Don't worry about anything else, let's run first!"

Then, Li Xiu prepared to escape towards the entrance, intending to leave the gradually collapsing cave first.

However, as soon as Li Xiu took a step, he fell into the deep pit created by Li Duotian's axe.

"You're such a jerk, you're a complete disaster!"

Li Xiu cursed inwardly.

Now, Li Xiu was also somewhat regretful. In his efforts to break through the barrier and establish a new one, he had made a mess of this inheritance cave. If he missed the most important Chaos Green Lotus Heart and Water God Heart because of this, he would really have suffered a great loss.

"Why do you think I have to force it, why do I have to have it all?"

"Isn't it better to just follow the system's instructions obediently?"

Even though Li Xiu had a lot of grievances in his heart, there was nothing he could do now.

He could only watch himself fall into the deep pit, praying that the fall would be less severe.

Chapter 1305 The New Cave

"Please, I hope the big rock falling from above doesn't hit my face and disfigure me!"

However, the entire descent was not as long as Li Xiu had imagined; in fact, it was ridiculously short.

Li Xiu had just fallen when he landed on the ground.

"What exactly is going on?" Feeling the hard ground beneath his buttocks, Li Xiu was puzzled.

"Could it be that heaven is looking out for me and has given me another chance?"

Shaking off the jumbled thoughts in his mind, Li Xiu opened his eyes and looked around at the space he had been given.

As soon as Li Xiu opened his eyes, he immediately felt comfortable. This place, at least, looked like a place where a person could stay.

Li Xiu seemed to have somehow fallen into a man-made cave.

Before Li Xiu was a cave dwelling that wasn't very large, a cave dwelling in the true sense of the word.

Although the layout and furnishings of this cave dwelling are very simple, with only a futon and a table.

But that's enough. At least it proves that people really lived in this place before.

"Finally, we've arrived at a place where people have stayed before."

Li Xiu was also very emotional; he had been lonely for far too long.

"Let's ask Li Duotian how he is. He can't have been crushed to death down there, can he?"

Then, Li Xiu also sent a telepathic message to Li Duotian, saying, "Li Duotian, how are things on your end? Are you alright?"

Li Duotian replied, "Reporting to Master, I am currently in a very strange place."

"Tell me the specifics," Li Xiu said, puzzled.

First of all, the mechanisms and restrictions in this cave are all related to martial arts techniques, and the only way to break them is to master those techniques.

Secondly, the method of hiding the inheritance cave is truly ingenious.

Just like that passageway, the improvement of martial arts techniques and the sublimation of the whole body—if it were just one person, they certainly wouldn't be able to obtain this inheritance, and they probably wouldn't even be able to discover it.

Li Duotian continued, "Master, I think I'm in a cave right now."

"What? You're in the cave too? What's going on?" Li Xiu was shocked when he heard Li Duotian's question.

Could it be that Li Duotian has also encountered his own opportunity?

Li Duotian said slowly, “Master, inside this cave, there is a futon, and in front of the futon is a table, and on the table is what looks like a book.”

Hearing Li Duotian's description, Li Xiu's doubts deepened.

This is exactly the same as what I have here!

Because this matter was so bizarre, Li Xiu himself dared not take any further action.

Identical furnishings often foreshadow two different events.

First, I was incredibly lucky. These two identical items both contained the inheritance of great power, and the levels of power were almost the same.

Secondly, it's another life-or-death choice. The master of the inheritance sets a difficult problem for others. If you choose correctly, you will receive the inheritance. If you choose incorrectly, you may die from qi deviation due to practicing the wrong technique.

"I hate making choices the most, and this place keeps making me choose these disgusting options." Li Xiu cursed as he spoke.

Chapter 1306 Cruel Reality

But there was nothing he could do; this was the cruel reality he was facing.

Li Duotian is an excellent helper to him, and it would be best if he could improve Li Duotian's abilities.

If it were a question of Li Xiu betraying Li Duotian for personal gain, Li Xiu would never do it.

In all the worlds Li Xiu has been in, he has never encountered someone with such a pure heart who is wholeheartedly devoted to helping him. Such a person is rare and hard to come by, so he must cherish him!

"It seems that now we can only ask that arrogant system. Hopefully, it won't play dead this time." Li Xiu was also uncertain and tried to find some breakthroughs from the system.

"System, what exactly is going on between Li Duotian and me?"

This time, just as Li Xiu said, the system wasn't playing dead.

Upon hearing Li Xiu's question, the Holy Buddha System's voice immediately responded, still as cold as ever. "Do you remember the previous mission?"

"Damn it, what time is it, and you bring this up right away?" Li Xiu said irritably when he heard the system start talking incoherently.

It's no wonder Li Xiu is like this. He just experienced a blissful and invigorating transformation, and now he's fallen into this cave of unknown origin.

I was already in a bad mood, and then the system kept saying some really annoying things. Wasn't that just adding fuel to the fire?

But despite his cursing, Li Xiu knew that this system was the only thing they could rely on now.

Li Xiu took a deep breath and asked again, "System, do you know the situation in the cave where Li Duotian and I are currently located?"

"Is this a trap, or something else?"

However, the system still didn't give him a positive answer, only mechanically saying, "Master, please complete the first stage of the task before you can unlock the second stage."

After saying that, the system's voice disappeared again.

"Hey, come back here!" Seeing the system appearing and disappearing without a trace, acting cool and stylish, Li Xiu was so angry that he couldn't do anything about it.

However, after calming down, Li Xiu began to reflect on what the system had just said.

"Please complete the first phase of the task before you can unlock the second phase."

"So, this cave isn't such a bad thing after all?"

Although Li Xiu's situation was not ideal, his mind was still clear.

Generally, unless there's an exceptionally special opportunity, the system won't assign tasks to itself.

Only when something brings about a dramatic change will the system add task rewards to motivate you to complete those challenges with 100% completion.

"If that's the case, then I'm relieved."

Speaking of this, there's something I have to mention.

When Li Xiu fell into this cave, the entire inheritance space seemed to undergo a tremendous change.

The purpose of that jade wall is to find someone who can inherit its legacy.

What sustains his existence is the little figure inside the wall. Every move and stance was carved into it by the person who left behind this legacy, using their last bit of heart and ability.

At this point, after Li Xiu had learned all of it, it naturally disappeared.

This is why Li Xiu experienced such a real and unique pain when practicing the martial arts behind the Jade Wall.

This was all because he resonated with the treasure left behind behind the wall. After Li Xiu obtained the treasure, the entire inheritance lost all meaning and disappeared.

Chapter 1307 marks the beginning of the second step.

This cave passage is also the key to the entire inheritance space. The outermost air wall was just a minor issue and not worth mentioning.

After obtaining the key, Li Xiu officially opened the door to inheriting the legacy. What awaited him was even more thrilling and exciting adventures, as well as a series of enormous treasures.

And the Chaotic Azure Lotus Heart and the Water God's Heart are the final, ultimate inheritance!

Getting back to the main point, at this moment, Li Xiu was in the very center of Buzhou Mountain.

If you had a god's-eye view, you could see that this cave ultimately connects to the root of the chaotic blue lotus heart.

In other words, if Li Xiu, who passively obtained the key, completes all these tasks, he will obtain the ultimate treasure he has always dreamed of.

Back to Li Xiu, he now remembered what the system had told him about the first stage of the task.

"First, learn the martial arts techniques hidden in the wall."
