Traveling through time to cultivate immortality: a life and death test

Chapter 378 Wuyazi's Speculation

"Elder Hong, have you seen Grandmaster Nie?" Wuyazi took Liu Xing and wandered around the fifth floor, asking questions whenever they met acquaintances.

"Wuyazi, why are you wandering around instead of looking for treasure?" A ruddy-faced elder of the Righteousness League was sweating profusely as he attacked the restrictions of the underground palace.

"Ah, Grandmaster Liu is here too, nice to meet you!" After seeing clearly that the person following Wuyazi was Liu Xing, Elder Hong immediately greeted him respectfully.

"Hello, Elder Hong. I got separated from my wife and am looking for her. I wonder if Elder Hong has seen her or knows her whereabouts?" Liu Xing also greeted her politely.

"Master Nie, I really didn't see him. Maybe he's looking for treasure somewhere else. You guys can look around." After saying this, Elder Hong continued to attack the restriction, completing his unfinished great cause.

"Thank you, goodbye." Wuyazi and the other man said goodbye and left.

He asked several people, but no one had seen her. He also checked every corner of the fifth floor, but found no trace of Nie Xiaoqian. Liu Xing became more depressed, and his bad premonition became stronger and stronger.

"Brother Liu, don't be too anxious. Maybe he has reached a higher level." Wuyazi comforted him.

"Ah."

"We've searched the fourth and fifth floors, but there's no sign of my brother-in-law, so we can rule out the possibility that she was trapped or killed here. I think she might have gone to a higher floor!" Wuyazi, as an outsider, analyzed calmly.

"Although Qian'er is quite powerful, the restrictions on the upper levels are stronger than the previous ones. She can't go up just because she wants to." Liu Xing was confused and extremely anxious.

"Brother, have you considered another possibility? Is it that a very powerful Yuanying master brought her up there?"

"Yes, it must be. My sister-in-law is famous for being a master of restrictions. Restrictions are everywhere in this Chaos Tower. With the help of a master of restrictions, breaking the restrictions will be twice as easy with half the effort. And only the top leaders of the Righteousness League know the identity and ability of my sister-in-law. Several leaders of the Righteousness League are missing. It must be Alliance Leader Chen who invited my sister-in-law up." The more Wuyazi analyzed, the clearer his thoughts became.

"That makes sense. I'll go up and see if I can lend a hand to the leader and the others! Thank you, Brother Wu. We'll take our leave now!" After Liu Xing finished speaking, he left in a hurry without waiting for Wuyazi's response.

In fact, there's another piece of information he didn't mention: his repeated messages to his wife went unanswered. This suggests his wife wasn't politely invited to help; she was likely being held hostage and unable to respond. Or perhaps she didn't want to implicate him and deliberately didn't respond, a warning to him.

"Qian'er, you must hold on. I will save you no matter what!" Liu Xing prayed silently in his heart while quickly heading towards the entrance to the sixth floor.

He abandoned Wuyazi and acted alone. Firstly, Wuyazi helped him break the ban, and secondly, he might become enemies with the top leaders of the Righteous Alliance after going up, which would make things difficult for Wuyazi.

Wuyazi looked at Liu Xing speeding away and sighed. He could not help much further up the ladder. If someone was capable, there would always be trouble if they were exposed. If someone targeted them, they would be in great danger.

"Just out of the tiger's den, now into the wolf's mouth. I hope Brother Liu and his wife can escape this danger." Wuyazi silently wished. He turned around and continued his treasure hunt. While searching for Nie Xiaoqian, he had already spotted several underground palaces and was now ready to excavate them.

Liu Xing came to the entrance of the sixth floor and began to study the restrictions carefully.

"Who is this? He's lucky to be able to enter the fifth floor at the Jindan stage. Now he wants to go to the sixth floor. Isn't that wishful thinking?" A Yuanying master who didn't know Liu Xing sneered when he saw him trying to break through the sixth-level protective door without knowing his own abilities.

"Brother Ye, this youngster overestimates his own abilities. He will naturally stop when he hits a wall. Don't meddle in other people's affairs. Let's concentrate on breaking the formation. It's been going on for a long time, and the restriction has loosened under our fierce bombardment. You see, the shaking is obviously much more violent. If we work harder, we will be able to obtain the treasures from the upper realm in no time." The companion next to him complained dissatisfiedly when he saw Ye's Nascent Soul stopped.

"Hahaha, if we combine our strength, we can definitely break this tortoise shell." Ye's Yuanying laughed to ease the awkwardness. Then he controlled his flying sword and bombarded the palace in front of him again.

Liu Xing ignored others' thoughts, concentrating solely on breaking the formation. With his previous experience as a foundation, studying the sixth-level restriction now saved him considerable time. He discovered that the sixth-level restriction was merely more powerful than the fifth-level one, while the layout was similar, clearly crafted by the same person. Liu Xing mastered the technique, finding the restriction's weak point in a matter of moments. With a loud boom, the restriction cracked, and Liu Xing swiftly slipped through.

"What! That ant really went in!" Ye's Yuanying was stunned for a moment, and in a flash he came to the entrance of the sixth floor. However, the crack in the restriction had healed, and he could not go in.

"Boom!" Ye's Nascent Soul was so angry that it bombarded the restriction at the entrance to the sixth floor, but the restriction remained motionless.

"Brother Ye, I didn't notice it just now. Can you tell me specifically how he got in?" His companion immediately followed and asked curiously.

As peak-level Nascent Soul cultivators, the two saw that even mid-Nascent Soul cultivators had reached the sixth floor, and they knew the treasures there must be even better. They had long wanted to go up there, but were blocked by the entrance barrier, preventing them from entering. So, they deliberately chose a palace near the entrance to attack, hoping to wait and see. They figured that if someone broke the barrier, they could follow suit.

Who would have thought that Liu Xing, whom they had completely ignored, could break through the ban and enter so quickly, and the two of them had no time to react at all.

"This kid must be a master of formations. He can actually break the restrictions of the upper realm. He is really amazing! I should have controlled him first. I miscalculated. Alas!" Ye's Yuanying was very annoyed.

"When did such a powerful figure appear in the Chaos Sea? I only heard that the Righteous Alliance had hidden a master of prohibitions, but she was a female cultivator?" The companions were also confused.

"Who knows! Alas, we have waited for so long, and the cooked duck flew away! I am so angry!" Ye's Yuanying was so angry that he stomped his feet.

"It's your fault for not keeping a closer eye on it!" The companion also felt depressed and blamed the other party.

"It was you who told me to attack the palace quickly and not to pay attention to this little Jindan. Now you blame me. Are you itching for trouble? How about we practice?" When Ye, the Yuanying, heard that his companion dared to blame him, he became even more furious and raised his fist to beat up this stupid teammate.

"Okay, I'm sorry! Let's go back and continue working!" The companion knew he was in the wrong, so he retreated and continued to attack the palace restrictions.

"Hmph!" Even if Ye's Yuanying was angry, he could do nothing about it now.
