After Li Bei flew into the palace, he found himself in another space.
This space was very large, and everything around him was made of crystal, shimmering and sparkling.
Li Bei looked around and found only one path, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Senior, I have entered," Li Bei shouted loudly.
Although there was only one path in front of him, Li Bei would definitely not rush forward before figuring out the situation.
"Don't be nervous, I have no malice towards you, you just need to walk forward."
The voice spoke again, very softly, and Li Bei's tense heart relaxed.
Li Bei thought for a moment, then slapped his forehead, regretting, "I'm not even afraid of the old guy, if he knew I was so cowardly just now, he would definitely mock me to death."
After muttering a few words, Li Bei straightened his mentality. Isn't it just traveling back to the ancient Heavenly Realm period? Could it be more terrifying than the old guy's fists?
So Li Bei raised his foot and walked forward. This time, he didn't worry about anything. The two women who had captured him were probably True Immortal experts. If they wanted to harm him, they wouldn't need such a big show to deal with a Saint Realm cultivator like him.
Since he was here, he might as well relax!
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Li Bei came to a pool made of transparent crystal. Li Bei raised his eyebrows. He found that the water in the pool was black and exuded a chilling aura, and the pool was covered with frost.
Heavy Cold Water!
The black water in the pool in front of him was consistent with Duan Fei's description.
Li Bei immediately held his breath. After learning about the Heavy Cold Water from Duan Fei, he also asked Old Liu. From Old Liu, he learned that Heavy Cold Water was an extremely rare treasure even in the myriad worlds, a supreme treasure of the water attribute, even rarer than immortal gold. A small drop of Heavy Cold Water was worth a fist-sized piece of immortal gold. He didn't expect there to be so much here.
Of course, it's not that the potential of Heavy Cold Water is higher than that of immortal gold. The reason why it's so valuable is because it's difficult to produce.
Li Bei looked at the pool of Heavy Cold Water in front of him, his eyes shining. The entire piece of immortal jade before was not even dust in front of this pool of Heavy Cold Water. There was no comparison.
"Do you like it?" the voice asked.
"Of course I like it, I want to take it all away," Li Bei subconsciously said his inner thoughts. After he finished speaking, he regretted it.
"Uh... Senior, I mean..."
Li Bei wanted to argue, but before he could finish speaking, a woman in white walked out. She was so holy and beautiful, yet like an ice mountain goddess, only to be admired from afar.
"If you like it, take it away later!"
The woman's voice was calm, as if the pool of Heavy Cold Water in front of her was like ordinary water, dispensable.
Li Bei was stunned for a moment, then bowed to the woman and said, "Junior Li Bei, greetings to the Lord of Tianchi!"
The Lord of Tianchi did not answer, but looked at Li Bei and said, "Do you know why I asked people to bring you to see me?"
Li Bei tentatively asked, "Is it because I come from the future?"
Li Bei did not hide his origins in front of the person. After arriving in this time and space, he first encountered those who led the way for him. Perhaps they themselves were not aware, but their encounter was indeed a deliberate arrangement.
Then he was brought to the palace by two women, and then he met the Lord of Tianchi in front of him. He was sure that his return to this era from later generations was not an accidental event, but someone had laid down heaven-defying methods countless years ago. The Tianchi Holy City that appeared on the Tianchi Ancient Star was like a door, and he had the key to this door, so he returned to this time and space.
The Lord of Tianchi nodded and said, "Since you have returned to this time and space, it means that what the Heavenly Emperor foresaw has already happened."
Li Bei's pupils shrank, and he asked in shock, "Does the Mortal World Heavenly Emperor already know that the Mortal World will decline?"
The Lord of Tianchi nodded.
"Then why didn't he make arrangements earlier?" Li Bei asked.
"Arrangements? Are you talking about escaping?" the Lord of Tianchi asked.
Although Li Bei didn't want to admit it, that was indeed what he meant, so he nodded awkwardly.
"The Heavenly Emperor is the Heavenly Emperor of the Mortal World. He was born in the Mortal World, so he naturally has the responsibility and obligation to protect the Mortal World. If even he escapes, then where will the living beings of the Mortal World go?" the Lord of Tianchi asked Li Bei.
"As long as there are green hills, there is no worry about firewood. There is hope for revenge if you live," Li Bei said.
The Lord of Tianchi heard the words and stared at Li Bei. Suddenly, the world was silent. Li Bei felt great pressure, but he bravely met the Lord of Tianchi's gaze.
Suddenly, a smile appeared on the Lord of Tianchi's face and said, "I also persuaded him like this at the beginning, but he said that if he left, there would be an Immortal Emperor alive in the world, but the Mortal World Heavenly Emperor would disappear forever."
Li Bei was silent. Suddenly, he couldn't help but think of the Seven Star Sword Sect he had created. If he knew that the Seven Star Sword Sect would have a catastrophe in the near future, and it was not something he could change, what choice would he make?
Dismiss the Seven Star Sword Sect and live in the world, or lead all the Seven Star Sword Sect to resist desperately?
"Later I understood that in life, there are always some things that you have to do even if you know you will die. Since the Heavenly Emperor is not leaving, then I can't leave either," a touch of warmth appeared on the Lord of Tianchi's face.
Li Bei's heart trembled wildly.
"This is probably righteousness!" Li Bei said.
The Lord of Tianchi nodded.
"But even if you let me return to this time and space, it won't change the past. The Mortal World... will eventually decline."
Li Bei still didn't understand why he was allowed to return to this time and space. What could a Saint Realm cultivator like him do?
"The Heavenly Emperor is not someone who only knows how to sacrifice without leaving any backup plans," the Lord of Tianchi said with a smile.
"Huh?"
Li Bei was very curious about what backup plans the Mortal World Heavenly Emperor would leave.
"Do you know the origin of the myriad worlds?" the Lord of Tianchi asked.
Li Bei's eyes flashed, and he nodded and said, "Hongmeng shattered and evolved into three thousand chaos, and the myriad worlds are evolved from one of the chaos."
After hearing Li Bei's answer, a trace of surprise flashed in the Lord of Tianchi's eyes, "It seems that your identity is not simple."
She also learned these things from the Heavenly Emperor. When she knew these things, she didn't know how long she was shocked before she recovered.
At this time, Li Bei smiled implicitly. Old Liu told him these things. He didn't expect to be able to pretend in front of an Immortal King. Tsk tsk, this feeling is great!
"But do you know that our chaos has experienced eighteen world destructions?" the Lord of Tianchi asked again.
"Huh?"
Li Bei's heart shook. He really didn't know this.
"Is it related to those mysterious invaders?"
