After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

Chapter 191 Birds Don’t Fly

He doesn't care about her situation.

She never cared about these things.

She never thought... that someone would say this to her.

"I……"

She opened her mouth to say something when the towering tree in front of her suddenly shook, and then a staircase made of rotating green spirit crystals extended from under their feet all the way up to the clouds.

Is this - inviting them in?

Ye Anan didn't look at her and was the first to walk to the stairs.

"Go up?"

There must be dangers inside that they don’t know about. If they go up, they may die.

The path to immortality that they had just embarked on might be cut short.

A faint light flashed across Jiang Liqian's eyes. She didn't say anything, but walked forward and stood with her.

However, escaping is not what the disciples of Qiankun Sect do.

There is a maze here that traps people. If you don't go up, you will be trapped here until you die, or return empty-handed and leave here with nothing.

Now that we have entered the secret realm, how can we not fight?

If you are afraid of death, you shouldn’t practice Taoism.

Shui Lian'er and Qin Beiyao looked at each other, then walked over and made their positions clear.

Everyone agreed and didn't delay any longer. Ye Anan and Jiang Liqian led the way in front, while Qin Beiyao stayed at the back. The four of them took out the teleportation talismans and held them in their palms, waiting for the critical moment to escape.

The stairs seemed to have no end. The four of them walked up step by step, from the morning light to the bright moon and stars, and from midnight to dawn. Just when everyone thought they had fallen into another maze, they saw the small wooden door at the end of the stairs in the midday sun.

The small wooden door was surrounded by vines, layer upon layer, hiding the door behind it. One could only vaguely make out from the gaps between them that it was a one-way door that opened outwards.

It can be seen that no one has visited here for a long time.

Shui Lian'er took out the fire talisman and threw it forward. There was a crackling sound accompanied by flames, and soon the vines outside the small wooden door were burned clean.

"Cough cough!" The smoke and dust were so thick that Shui Lian'er's face was covered with dust. She quickly stepped back and wiped her face with her sleeves.

Jiang Liqian took a step forward, gripped the door handle, and looked at the three people: "We are going in."

The three nodded, and no one backed down.

With a "creak", the small wooden door was opened, and a cold wind filled with thick moisture suddenly blew out from inside. Several people couldn't help but close their eyes and got goose bumps all over their bodies.

"I'll go in first." Jiang Liqian took the lead and was the first to walk in.

Ye Anan followed, and Shui Lian'er and Qin Beiyao followed closely behind.

I had thought the light inside this giant tree would be dim, but that was not the case.

As they walked further in, they saw countless white fluorites of various sizes hanging above their heads. The light of the fluorites was soft and not dazzling to the few people. Instead, it made their tense nerves relax a lot.

The road under my feet is clearly visible, but the passage is a bit narrow.

Several people walked forward with full vigilance. After about four hours, they saw a small wooden door.

Jiang Liqian grasped the door handle and slowly pushed it open.

The scenery before my eyes suddenly became clear.

There was no ceiling above, and scattered sunlight filtered through the branches at the top of the trees, illuminating the entire still and silent water surface.

The water surface was below where they were. If they walked down the stone steps, they would see a jade bridge spanning half of the water surface, extending to a medium-sized platform in the center of the water.

There was a stone archway in the center of the platform. Behind the archway was a hazy mist, and they couldn't see it clearly from their angle. They only vaguely felt that there seemed to be something standing there.

Jiang Liqian summoned the Soul-Suppressing Pearl and cautiously stepped onto the stone steps leading down. Several people followed behind her one after another, all of them being extremely vigilant.

Then along the way, nothing happened except that the stone stairs were a bit long and it took a long time to walk.

This could not help but cast even greater doubts in the hearts of the four people.

"Shall we cross the bridge?" When they got down there, several people stood by the bridge, looked around, and then all looked at the archway at the other end of the stone bridge.

Everything else here is unremarkable, only the arch stands out so much. I think the strangeness of this giant tree is related to the thing behind the arch.

Now that I was closer, the view behind the arch was still blurry, with only the shadow of an unknown object.

"So far, we haven't encountered any danger. If my guess is correct, something might happen after we cross this bridge." Ye Anan spoke first. "To ensure the safety of all of us, I suggest that I cross the bridge first. If there's no danger, you can come over."

"No, it's too dangerous for you to go alone!" Shui Lian'er was the first to disagree.

Qin Beiyao also held the same view: "If there is danger, we won't be able to save you in time at such a long distance."

Ye Anan wanted to say something, but in the end she smiled and patted her chest, saying, "I can definitely handle it alone, and with Phoenix by my side, it'll be easy for me to get away."

Her spirit beast bracelet flashed, as if the little phoenix was responding to what its master said.

"But……"

"I'll go with her." Jiang Liqian suddenly spoke.

Ye Anan subconsciously glanced sideways at her.

However, Jiang Liqian didn't look at her. She just comforted Shui Lian'er: "She and I can help each other if anything happens. You are here. If we are both in danger, you can also serve as backup so that we won't be wiped out all at once."

"Well, then, you must be careful. If you find something wrong, come back quickly."

"Ah."

Without further ado, the decision was made. Jiang Liqian and Ye Anan didn't hesitate and immediately walked towards the bridge.

When they reached the middle of the bridge, they both looked at the water below the bridge at the same time. In an instant, they felt extremely dizzy and almost fell into the water together.

"There's something strange about this water." Ye Anan took a breath, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

Jiang Liqian wasn't in much better condition, her face turned pale.

She looked at the water under the bridge, pursed her lips, took out a handkerchief embroidered with plum blossoms from her storage bag and threw it into the water.

Ripples spread out, shattering the reflections of the two people on the bridge, while the handkerchief in the center of the ripples sank at an extremely fast speed.

Ye Anan took a breath of cold air.

Now Jiang Liqian didn't need to say anything, she knew what this water was.

"Weak water is so vast that birds cannot cross it and feathers cannot float on it. Its strength cannot surpass that of a mustard seed, so it cannot be crossed.

"Legend has it that the place where the Queen Mother of the West resides is guarded by this water, and no one can cross it. I never thought that the legendary Weak Water actually exists!"

"Then, the thing protected by Ruoshui..." Jiang Liqian's expression became very solemn, "I'm afraid it must be very important."

Since it is so serious, the danger they face...
