Chapter 544

A circular sinkhole!

Visually, it was a hundred feet in diameter!

Standing at the edge of the sinkhole and looking down, one could only see a fire-red color below; other than that, there was nothing else.

This entire sinkhole seemed to be a sea of fire.

Scorching heat continuously erupted from the sinkhole.

"This is the Heavenly Fire ruins!" True Person Xihu said with a serious expression: "It is said that this sinkhole is bottomless!"

"This opening will last for only three years!"

"Everyone, hurry and go in!"

Boom...

After speaking, True Person Xihu was the first to jump into the sinkhole.

Then, the other Li family disciples also jumped in one by one.

The Zhu family, Kong family, Wu family...

People from each family also jumped down into the sinkhole.

Everyone hovered in this sky, flying downward slowly.

Zhu Dong, who still carried a hint of baby fat, had now reached the Foundation Establishment Stage; he looked at the sinkhole and said: "I know why Qi Condensation disciples aren't allowed in!"

"Because Qi Condensation disciples cannot fly with swords; they would keep falling in this void and eventually have only one path: death!"

"Correct!" Zhu Ci nodded: "That is the reason!"

"Everyone, don't blame me for not warning you; although the deeper you go into the ground, the richer the good things and Dao laws are, I still warn you: don't think too much!"

"Just descend slowly and honestly!"

Everyone nodded.

So, from then on, whether they were Foundation Establishment cultivators or Golden Core cultivators, almost all of them descended at the same speed.

This speed was not fast.

Everyone was cautious.

But after about half an incense stick of time, some Golden Core cultivators couldn't help themselves.

"Everyone!"

"Farewell, I shall take the lead!"

"I'm going down first too!"

"There's no need to be so cautious; I think we've been overly cautious!"

Four or five Golden Core cultivators accelerated and descended at the same time.

After another period of time, True Person Xihu couldn't help herself either; she said: "You all take it slow; I'm going down a distance first!"

Thus, True Person Xihu also left.

The Golden Core cultivators beside He Pingsheng left one by one.

Very quickly, only the Foundation Establishment cultivators remained.

No...

Besides these Foundation Establishment cultivators, there was one more person: Zhu Ci.

These people's descent speed remained very slow.

"The deeper you go, the stronger the fire-attribute aura, and the harder it is to persist!" Zhu Ci looked at everyone and said: "If you cannot persist, you can carve out a space on the cave wall to cultivate!"

Before long, several Foundation Establishment cultivators adhered to the nearby cave walls and began to cultivate.

Anyway, there were three years; just proceed step by step!

The deeper they went, the fewer people persisted.

After another half an incense stick of time, only Zhu Ci and Zhu Dong remained beside He Pingsheng.

"Hehehe... little friend!" Zhu Ci chuckled as he looked at He Pingsheng and asked: "You must have a treasure on you that can defend against spiritual sense attacks, right?"

Zhu Ci spoke bluntly and asked directly.

Anyway, there was no one else around now.

He Pingsheng did not answer his question but instead asked: "So, the person who attacked me with spiritual sense during the competition was you, Senior Zhu?"

Hearing this, Zhu Dong's body beside him trembled slightly: "This... Elder... you... you actually..."

He found it unbelievable.

Wasn't it agreed to be a fair competition?

"Hmph..." Zhu Ci snorted coldly and said: "Kid, you ruined my good deeds; that I haven't skinned you or pulled your tendons is already being kind to you!"

"What?"

"Still feeling dissatisfied at this moment?"

He Pingsheng smiled coldly and said nothing.

A silence fell between the three.

After a while, Zhu Dong finally couldn't hold on anymore and said: "Elder, this disciple can only descend to this depth!"

"Good!" Zhu Ci nodded.

Zhu Dong turned his body and adhered to the cliff wall at this depth, beginning to swallow the fire-attribute aura.

Now, the only person traveling with He Pingsheng was Zhu Ci.

"I've already had people check!" Zhu Ci said indifferently: "You don't really count as a member of the Li family; you just joined the Li family a while ago to compete for rankings for them!"

"If I kill you right now, the Li family members will neither know, nor, even if they did know, would they necessarily stand up for you!"

"Two paths, choose for yourself!"

"Let me do it, or you obediently hand over that treasure that can defend against spiritual sense attacks!"

He Pingsheng smiled: "Then... Senior, you should do it yourself!"

"I really don't believe you can kill me!"

"Good, good, good... unrepentant to the end!" Zhu Ci's fat body trembled slightly and said: "Kid, you are seeking your own death; it has nothing to do with me!"

He Pingsheng felt like vomiting.

This person was truly shameless to the extreme.

He wanted to kill him, yet he still had the nerve to say he brought it on himself?

"Slash..."

Zhu Ci stood proudly opposite He Pingsheng, leisurely drawing a blood-red precious saber with one hand, and slashed down at He Pingsheng.

This saber was extraordinary; it was actually a mid-tier Profound Treasure with fourteen layers of restrictions on it.

Such an item was not something an ordinary Golden Core cultivator could possess.

This guy Zhu Ci was very wealthy.

Of course, it could also be that Golden Core cultivators in the Spirit Realm were wealthier than those in the Cultivation World.

He Pingsheng's eyes carried a smile, but his body didn't move at all.

No dodging, no evasion!

And no defense whatsoever.

"Die!" Zhu Ci's expression was contemptuous and ruthless.

The long saber in his hand transformed into a phantom of several dozen feet and slashed over.

However!

Just as the long saber fell halfway, a scene that shocked him occurred.

The saber stopped moving.

The long saber phantom, condensed from fire spiritual power, was fixed in the void by some invisible force.

The next moment, Zhu Ci became even more terrified.

Because he discovered that he couldn't move either.

His hands and feet were stiff!

He couldn't even turn his head.

Only his mouth could move.

"What's going on?" He muttered in shock and fear: "Why is it like this?"

"Kid, who exactly are you?"

He Pingsheng still wore a smile on his face: "Not important... what's important is that you attacked me with spiritual sense back then!"

"Today, I am returning the favor; that should also be in accordance with the Heavenly Dao!"

Shoo...

Two spiritual sense nails slowly slid out from He Pingsheng's sea of consciousness.

Tangible spiritual sense, piercing through the void.

The speed was very slow.

Seeing this, Zhu Ci finally collapsed: "This... spiritual sense manifestation, this is... Soul Transformation..."

"Are you a Soul Transformation cultivator?"

"Is this space lockdown?"

"Hiss, hiss, hiss... spare my life... Senior, spare my life... everything was my fault, I will never again..."

Two spiritual sense nails slammed into his sea of consciousness, and Zhu Ci's voice came to an abrupt end.

Boom...

Without magic power to support him, Zhu Ci's body could not resist the fire energy outside and ignited in an instant.

In a few breaths, his large body turned into ashes.

Only a blood-colored long saber and two rings remained.

He Pingsheng waved his hand, and the items were collected into his body.
