Su Xi and Ghost Elder confirmed that True Master Tiangang was not injured and then resolutely helped him walk towards the Ghost Gate Pass.
Now that there were so many enemies in this place, if they continued to stay, they didn't know what dangers they would face.
Therefore, to avoid trouble, the most pressing matter was to escape the current crisis.
A wise person does not stand under a dangerous wall; they had to leave as soon as possible.
Thinking this, Su Xi and the others quickened their pace, eager to leave this place.
To ensure True Master Tiangang could fight later, Su Xi also gave him several pills she had refined, telling him to swallow them in one go.
These compressed pills could generate immense energy, helping True Master Tiangang rapidly recover his magic power and regain his combat ability.
Su Xi had originally thought that True Master Tiangang's cultivation was deeper than hers, so three pills should be enough.
Who knew that after eating three pills, True Master Tiangang merely burped, and there was no other effect.
His magic power had not increased by even a fraction.
???
Looking at the Ancestor with such a good appetite, Su Xi felt as if she was on the verge of going bankrupt.
Good heavens, this was truly a loss-making deal.
But to deal with the risks ahead, she would naturally not be stingy.
While Su Xi was complaining inwardly, Ghost Elder couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, his heart filled with disbelief.
True Master Tiangang had already reached the Mahayana stage millions of years ago. After such a long accumulation of his soul, he might have become a Dao Ancestor.
Therefore, the depth of his magic power would by no means be comparable to ordinary people. Consuming heavenly treasures would be like eating candy, with no significant effect.
After all, the magic power required by his body was too vast, and any other supplement would be like a drop in the ocean. Pills that could restore magic power in a timely manner were even harder to obtain.
Yet now, Su Xi could actually make True Master Tiangang's magic power gradually recover. Although it was only a slight recovery, it was enough to make one feel extremely surprised.
What kind of pills could have such a miraculous effect?
Su Xi was unaware of the wonder of her pills. At this moment, she was merely focused on the scene before her, feeling a surge of helplessness.
Although refining such magic power-restoring pills was not a problem with the supercomputer, it required raw materials.
The previously refined raw materials had all been consumed by True Master Tiangang. Now, Su Xi could only extract her hard-earned spirit stones to provide energy.
After forcefully supplying energy along the way, True Master Tiangang's magic power had recovered significantly, almost to seven or eight tenths.
Sensing that it was almost enough, True Master Tiangang stopped Su Xi from continuing to feed him.
Although these things could help him recover, the taste was frankly unbearable.
It was worlds apart from the delicacies he pursued daily.
Therefore, now that he had the chance, he certainly didn't want to suffer any longer.
Seeing True Master Tiangang refuse her, Su Xi couldn't help but frown. "Ancestor. There are still many dangers ahead. If we are discovered, we will be counting on you to escape."
"If you don't eat the pills, how will you recover?"
The matters of this underworld were too bizarre, so it was essential to have True Master Tiangang present to feel more at ease. Otherwise, they would not be able to cope with any danger.
Hearing Su Xi's words, True Master Tiangang nodded. "Recovering magic power is very simple."
With that, he recited an incantation.
Immediately, Su Xi felt the surrounding Yin energy being devoured by True Master Tiangang into his body, rapidly transforming into energy within him.
As he continuously absorbed the surrounding Yin energy, his aura began to accelerate. In just a moment, he had returned to his peak level.
Seeing this, Su Xi was stunned.
The Ancestor had this ability too?
Then what was she doing before? Had it all been in vain? httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Ghost Elder looked at her like an idiot. If True Master Tiangang were that easy to deal with, he wouldn't have been so formidable back then.
The moment this thought arose in his mind, True Master Tiangang's gaze fell upon him, startling him into stopping his silent criticism and lowering his head, daring not to think further.
It was too terrifying. He had forgotten that True Master Tiangang not only possessed immense power but was also proficient in mind-reading.
After stopping Ghost Elder, True Master Tiangang turned to Su Xi and spoke in his usual tone, "Let's go. After resolving these troublesome matters in the underworld, we still need to go and rescue my disappointing disciple."
"Master and the others are in danger?"
Su Xi looked at True Master Tiangang, asking in surprise.
However, soon, a calm expression appeared on her face, as if everything was as it should be.
They had almost capsized just now, let alone Lin Qing. Moreover, True Master Tiangang was so composed, indicating that Lin Qing was likely only captured and not in immediate mortal danger.
With this thought, Su Xi's mood calmed down.
No danger meant good news.
Ghost Elder looked at the scene before him, a hint of confusion on his brow.
Su Xi had been so anxious before, but now she seemed indifferent.
Indeed, no one could understand a woman's mind.
Had she stopped caring so quickly?
Under the guidance of True Master Tiangang, Su Xi walked onto the Bridge of Reincarnation.
As they crossed this bridge, Su Xi's face showed a flicker of confusion.
Weren't they here to rescue someone? Why had they come to this place?
Were they preparing to reincarnate?
True Master Tiangang sensed Su Xi's thoughts and said, "Don't overthink it. Our enemy is here."
"Here?" Su Xi looked around, finding nothing unusual. Everything was the same as when they arrived.
Despite the surrounding normalcy, there was no sign of any enemy.
Just as True Master Tiangang was about to explain, he suddenly saw Ghost Elder beside him and a smile appeared on his face. His smile held a complexity that was difficult for ordinary people to understand.
Ghost Elder felt True Master Tiangang's smile and immediately realized something was wrong, turning to flee.
However, there was no chance to escape. He was directly grabbed by True Master Tiangang and thrown out.
"Ah!"
Following a scream, True Master Tiangang began to fall in an arc towards the bridge.
As he landed on the bridge, the seemingly ordinary scene revealed its true nature.
The Bridge of Reincarnation, which had previously appeared ethereal and majestic, had now transformed into a broken bridge. Nearby, there were countless corpses, from which Yin energy continuously emanated.
Ghost Elder got up clumsily from the ground and looked at True Master Tiangang with a wronged expression.
Although he was immortal, he didn't have to be treated like this; he still felt pain.
Couldn't he be treated with a little more care?
True Master Tiangang completely ignored Ghost Elder's aggrieved gaze and, looking at the scene before them, explained to Su Xi, "It seems we have some trouble?"
"Trouble?" Su Xi was somewhat surprised.
Something that True Master Tiangang called trouble would definitely not be a minor inconvenience.
What should they do next?
"Someone is coming?" Ghost Elder suddenly spoke, reminding them.
???
Su Xi's supercomputer was fully engaged, but it yielded no results, detecting no abnormalities.
The supercomputer could only scan for things related to living beings; it was difficult to gather information about the dead.
Ghost Elder offered no explanation, but nimbly got up from the ground and assumed a fighting stance.
The approaching presence was powerful, making him feel suffocated and unsure how to respond.
Soon, Su Xi also noticed someone approaching.
As the figure emerged from the darkness ahead, Su Xi's eyes widened. "Master?"
The person before them was none other than Lin Qing, who had disappeared long ago.
She had expected Lin Qing to be undergoing the "Ten Tortures of the Qing Dynasty" and to be in a miserable state, but she hadn't anticipated this.
However, what made Su Xi most incredulous was his current aura.
This evil aura was incredibly powerful, pressing down on her until she could barely breathe.
True Master Tiangang stepped forward, blocking Su Xi. "This person is not your master. They are merely a clone taken from your master."
Hearing True Master Tiangang's words, Su Xi looked at him in surprise.
Why did he know the word "clone"?
Was True Master Tiangang not from this planet either? Was he a transmigrator like herself?
With this thought, Su Xi looked at True Master Tiangang and couldn't help but ask, "Qi Bian Ou Bian?"
Hearing Su Xi's question, True Master Tiangang asked with a confused look, "What are you saying?"
What was she talking about? Why did Su Xi's mind seem to be malfunctioning?
What did that mean?
Hearing that True Master Tiangang didn't know the secret code, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, True Master Tiangang was a normal person.
Lin Qing looked at True Master Tiangang and sneered, "I never thought you would still be alive after all these years."
Hearing Lin Qing's words, Su Xi rolled her eyes at him.
This arrogant person probably didn't realize he was about to be beaten to a pulp.
However, she couldn't figure out why those people would choose to clone Lin Qing after capturing him.
True Master Tiangang looked at Lin Qing and waved his hand. "Enough with the nonsense. After all these years, you still haven't given up on your original plan. But do you really think this will be enough?"
Lin Qing stood up. "Whether it succeeds depends on you."
Although they had created Lin Qing as a clone and directly elevated his cultivation to the Dao Ancestor realm, he was not the optimal vessel.
Therefore, if they could obtain True Master Tiangang's body as the optimal vessel, then that plan would surely succeed.
Hearing Lin Qing's words, True Master Tiangang chuckled. "Since you are so confident, why don't we try it out and see if your broken contraption actually works."
