Within the darkness, a sword phantom flashed for a brief moment before vanishing.
After the light faded, everything inside the coffin had been erased, leaving nothing but emptiness.
The orange cat was still using his Thaumaturgy to hide within the void of space.
His gaze flickered a bit as he read through the lines of notification:
[You've activated the Lonesome Swan Flying Immortal technique]
[Your swordsmanship has advanced to the next level, containing the following divine sword powers:]
[Myriad Seas Suppression]
[Forgetting River's Protection]
[Immortal]
[Law Breaker]
[Limitless Sword Realm]
[Myriad Destruction]
[Heaven's Choice]
[Earth's Choice]
[Sanctuary (passive)]
[You've instantly killed this evil fiend without alerting any entities]
After reading through this, the orange cat sighed in relief.
Another line of glowing text appeared:
[Remaining time: 03: 44]
The orange cat immediately rushed towards the blocked cave and began to dig with his claws.
This cave was only temporarily sealed, so he easily dug it open to reveal the deep passage behind it.
The orange cat immediately rushed inside and continued to run forward at lightning speed.
His path was clear.
The orange cat sped up — — -
In the shortest amount of time possible, the orange cat had already passed through the numerous coffins and reached his target.
I'm almost there!
At this point, the jasper ring abruptly twitched again.
The orange cat sensed it and abruptly stopped in front of an empty coffin.
"Meow?" he cautiously called out.
The jasper ring flew out and drew a line of human text in front of him:
[There is an extremely troublesome demonic technique ahead]
"Meow?" the orange cat doubtfully called out.
The jasper ring continued: [There are 330 layers of even more powerful demonic techniques behind it. Even if you manage to break through it, those 330 layers of demonic techniques will immediately manifest and kill you]
The orange cat was surprised.
Interlocking techniques?
This is the first time I've heard of such a thing.
The jasper ring flew up and drew another line of text:
[Give up, I'll take you to another path and immediately send you back to the human realm]
The orange cat circled around a few times.
Suddenly, it noticed that another line of scarlet words had popped up.
[Remaining time: 02: 51]
— — -there isn't much time left!
The orange cat became anxious and couldn't help but release his inner sight to scan around.
In all directions, up, down, front, back, left and right, there were coffins everywhere.
Apart from the coffin, there was nothing else.
He couldn't even tell where it was!
Could it be …
Was he really unable to save Junior Sister?
The orange cat's eyes flickered, then uttered a determined meow.
The jasper ring danced in the air. "You want to give it a try?"
The orange cat nodded.
"Fine, I've already advised you. If you fail, we can only think of another way to leave your corpse intact and send you to the cycle of reincarnation," the jasper ring said as it danced in the air.
The orange cat took a deep breath and quickly ran forward.
It passed through a dark void and landed inside another coffin.
As soon as he entered, something seemed to have been activated, and the surroundings immediately turned into a dark and gloomy world.
The entire world was barren and littered with rocks. Gusts of cold, howling winds blew in the sky.
The highest-ranking Sequence immediately reminded him.
[Beware, you've triggered a Nefarious Technique. It's connected to 330 more powerful Nefarious Techniques. In addition, if you resist this technique, the ripples produced will immediately awaken the slumbering existence in this place.]
It could not be resisted, it could not be broken, and it could not be avoided.
If I avoid it, I won't be able to find a way to save Xiu Xiu.
The orange cat's eyes focused and cautiously observed his surroundings.
All of a sudden — —
Two white gates descended from the sky, perfectly blocking his path.
One of the gates was completely empty.
The other gate had a single word written on it: [Life]
Life — — -
It was the Life Gate.
Endless screams and screams resounded from the other side of the gate, black blood was even seeping out from the gap between the gates.
"Save — — save us — — -"
Someone was madly pounding on the gate.
The orange cat stood still.
The voices waited for a while, but seeing that there was no response, they all turned into resentful curses and screams.
"If you don't save us, you'll end up the same as us, eternally trapped in the Death Gate, enduring endless torture"
— — so this empty gate was called the Death Gate.
At the very next moment.
A black piece of paper flew in front of the orange cat.
Lines of explanation appeared on the black paper:
[You've fully activated the Nefarious Technique: Gate of Life and Death]
[Two gates are waiting to devour your everything]
[Now, you must write the word opposite of 'Life' on the empty gate, as well as personally fulfill the requirements of this gate]
[The word you write must conform to the fundamental Laws of your path of cultivation]
[Begin!]
After all the lines of text had been displayed, the black paper instantly turned into a brush and fell in front of the orange cat.
The orange cat glanced at the Gate of Life and Death.
It must conform to the fundamental Laws of my path of cultivation …
In other words — —
Cultivators usually cultivated for the sake of longevity, in other words, to avoid death.
As a cultivator, the opposite of 'Life' was naturally 'Death'.
This was the fundamental Law, as well as the most basic understanding.
However, as soon as I write the word 'Death', I'll have to enter the Death Gate and die inside.
How can I do that?
But I can't resist this technique, otherwise, I won't be able to save Xiu Xiu.
The orange cat regained his composure and held the brush.
— — since I can't dispel this technique, nor can I resist it, I can only follow its rules.
He took a few steps forward and wrote a word on the empty gate:
[Cooked]
Raw — — cooked.
Inside the Gate of Life and Death, all the curses and curses disappeared.
There was silence.
Someone was muttering in a sorrowful tone: "I've cultivated for countless years, seen through life and death, but I was still hit by this technique — — - what makes you think you can pass just by writing 'cooked'?"
The orange cat didn't answer and simply nodded with a calm expression.
That's right!
For cultivators, life and death are closely related to cultivation, so 'Life' naturally corresponds to 'Death'.
But for a chef, the opposite of 'Raw' is' Cooked '!
— — -my true path of cultivation is actually cooking in the human realm!!!
As soon as the orange cat finished writing this word, he threw the brush away, patted his stomach, and took out a pile of cooked food.
At the same time, the 'Cooked' gate opened — — -
Clack clack clack!
The orange cat pushed a large pile of food into the gate.
It's done!
Rumble rumble rumble — — -
The Gate of Life and Death rose to the sky, carrying with it countless cries, begging, curses, curses, and screams as it flew into the gloomy sky and disappeared.
The entire world also disappeared.
A line of crimson text appeared in front of the orange cat's eyes:
[Remaining time: 02: 05]
It didn't take too long!
The orange cat sighed in relief and lightly landed inside an empty coffin.
The jasper ring flew out and danced: [Since the beginning of time, you are the first person to obediently follow the Gate of Life and Death to the very end without any problems]
The orange cat hurriedly meowed.
[Don't worry, you'll have to rely on me at this point] after the jasper ring finished dancing, it flew out and stuck itself to the coffin wall, giving off a faint glow.
A layer of runes slowly manifested on the surface of the black coffin.
As soon as these runes manifested, they formed a Dao technique.
Crack — —
A piece of the coffin fell down, revealing the scene behind it.
Only to see a gloomy underground palace in front of them.
Numerous stone coffins were neatly arranged inside the underground palace.
But these coffins were different from the ones outside — — -
Each coffin's surface was engraved with countless blood-colored runes, while the stone coffins were completely connected to the ground, unable to be moved at all.
The ground was completely soaked in blood, as if black shadows were constantly moving within the blood.
The jasper ring that was hidden inside the orange cat's tail finally spoke up:
[Wang Lingxiu — — - she wasn't particularly strong, so she was only sealed in the topmost floor of this underground palace, the third coffin from the left]
— — this was the fox girl's voice.
As the orange cat looked at the coffin, Xiu Xiu's smiling face appeared in his mind.
He maintained the power of [Ghostly Shadow of Night], lightly leapt up and landed on top of the coffin.
He laid on top of the coffin and released his inner sight to check.
A young girl was tightly bound, her entire body covered in black talismans, pierced through by sharp spikes, firmly fixed inside the coffin.
— — -it was Xiu Xiu!
These demons, in order to restrain Master, had actually sealed her in a place like this!
The orange cat's killing intent skyrocketed, but he couldn't help but suppress his anger and quickly sent his voice: "Meow meow meow, meow meow meow meow?"
The fox girl replied: "We have a way to undo her seal — — it'll take about one minute. I'll ask you again, do you have a way to leave this place?"
"Meow" the orange cat confirmed it.
"Very well, since we don't need to worry about your escape, we'll focus on undoing the seal. This process will alert the demons guarding this place, so you need to stand guard for us for the next one minute" the fox girl's voice resounded from the ring.
The orange cat looked at the void of space.
A line of crimson text hovered there:
[Remaining time: 01: 10]
The orange cat immediately clenched his claws: "Meow, meow meow!"
The jasper ring flew out from his tail, landed on top of the coffin, then moved for some unknown reason before being absorbed into the coffin.
Under the orange cat's inner sight, the ring began to give off a fluorescent light that shone on one of the black talismans.
Crack — — -
The black talisman instantly turned to ash.
The stone coffin began to tremble, fortunately, this tremor was so faint that it didn't cause any abnormalities.
The jasper ring then gave off a fluorescent light that shone on another black talisman.
The orange cat retracted his inner sight and carefully observed his surroundings.
Not too long later, another tremor could be heard from inside the stone coffin.
This vibration finally caused waves of ripples in the blood water and spread out in the dead silence of the underground palace.
Within the blood water, black figures quickly appeared from every direction.
The orange cat sat on top of the coffin, coldly observing these black figures.
A few moments later.
He raised his paw and clenched it — —
An ancient and desolate presence descended, slowly filling the entire underground palace.
— — Divine Wish Offering, activate!
