785 Half Bodhisattva (1)

Clang!

Jiang Li’s halberd slashed at the golden door.

However, the endless force that was enough to split mountains, break seas, and tear apart the sky and earth only left a shallow scratch on it.

On the contrary, the aftershock made him tremble badly.

“How can there be such a sturdy pagoda under the bottomless pit?”

Jiang Li put away his halberd and rubbed his painful palm, feeling a little depressed by the current situation.

What happened to finding treasures in the wilderness? Why did he enter a ruin in the blink of an eye?

“The mountain is an ancient cave abode outside this pagoda.”

“My Gu worm saw the words Pitfall Mountain written on the cave abode.”

On the other side, a Gu worm crawled back from the gap in the pagoda window and flew into the Grass Lady’s mouth.

The old woman woke up from her meditation and reported the results of her investigation.

“The Pitfall Mountain and the Bottomless Pit. This should be the cave abode of an ancient Fellow Daoist.”

“Everyone, be careful. If it can suck us all over at once, we might be able to find another of our kind here.”

In addition, Daoist Five Plague, who was checking the ground and the spiral staircase, and Daoist Death Gate walked over.

The four of them seemed to have completely forgotten the attack from a few minutes ago.

They stood together and cooperated sincerely.

“This pagoda has seven levels and seven sides. We seem to have a lot of space inside, but outside, it’s only three feet and seven inches. It can be held with one hand.”

“My Gu worm saw a white carp swimming in the seventh level of the pagoda. That immortal spiritual qi was very likely absorbed into the seventh level.”

“Not only do we have to go out, but we also have to think of a way to retrieve the immortal qi to the seventh level of the pagoda.”

The four of them had been trapped in the pagoda for a while.

They more or less obtained some information.

They could not fly inside the pagoda, the space was stable, and they could not tear it apart. They could not use escape techniques, and they could not even use any technique to change size.

The doors and windows were extremely sturdy, and only a corner of one of the windows was broken.

If they could not change their figures, the few of them would definitely not be able to leave. Only the Gu worm of the Grass Lady could go out and investigate, so she had the most information.

“The Pitfall Mountain and the Bottomless Pit?”

When he heard these two names, Jiang Li recalled some things from myths.

This cave abode should belong to a golden-nosed white-furred rat that cultivated both Dao and Buddhism.

She was the Madam Earth Rush who wanted to marry the Golden Cicada and use his Buddhist Yang Essence to cultivate to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.

This demon had an extraordinary background and deep fortune. However, how could there be such a pagoda in the cave abode?

With some caution, Jiang Li continued to discuss the method to escape with them.

“The doors and windows of this pagoda are tightly shut. I’m very touched. The only exit might be up there.”

They looked up.

On the ceiling above was a trapdoor the size of a well.

With their vision, they could see that the trapdoor was ajar and not locked. As long as they touched it, they should be able to pass through.

They walked to the spiral staircase in the middle.

This staircase was formed by stone slabs that spiraled upwards.

On the ground around the staircase, there were some shattered bones.

It seemed that it had fallen from the sky and shattered.

Clearly, they were not the first wave of guests in this tower.

However, when they went up and wanted to step on the stone slab, they discovered that it was actually illusory and could not be used.

Was it playing a joke on them by creating such an illusory staircase?

“Let’s jump up and try!”

Since they could not fly, they would try to jump.

The four of them stepped on the ground and immediately flew up into the sky.

However, they had just left the ground a hundred feet when an irresistible suction force came from beneath their feet.

Even if they used their left foot to step on their right foot, they could only rise another thousand feet before falling weakly again.

As expected, it still did not work. It was still far from the trapdoor above.

An invisible force dragged down his figure. Jiang Li noticed that there was a lifelike crow carved on the wall of the pagoda.

As he fell, the crow’s eyes seemed to move.

When he returned to the ground, he did not believe it. He took out two fist-sized kelp seeds and threw them on the ground in front of him.

With the urging of the Nine Nether spiritual qi, the seed sprouted and grew crazily.

This was the seed of the previous kelp overlord.

At that time, Jiang Li had used the Eight Splitting Light Wheel to enter and collect some.

It had a portion of the Divine Tree Creation Wood bloodline in its body.

In theory, it could grow indefinitely. As long as there was enough time and nutrition, it could even grow to the extent of directly connecting heaven and earth.

It grew quickly and was sufficiently sturdy. It could be used for both sea and land. When there was no other choice, it could even be used as a food source.

To Jiang Li, it was an extremely outstanding casting material.

The internal height of the first level of the pagoda was only 20,000 feet.

Under normal circumstances, creating a plant of this height was too simple for Jiang Li.

As spiritual qi surged out, two thick kelp emerged and grew upwards like two genetic chains.

One thousand feet, two thousand feet, three thousand feet…

The four of them saw hope and reached out to cling to the kelp spiral, using it to rise into the sky.

However, at this moment, Jiang Li suddenly heard a crisp crow cry.

On the wall he had seen just now, a three-legged Golden Crow statue suddenly came to life.
