With only 8 years to live at the start, I'm going all in.

Chapter 440 The Unbreakable Restriction

Somewhere in the forest, a man dressed in a blue robe was walking slowly through the woods.

With each step he took, a halo of light would spread out around him, as if he were walking on water.

This person was none other than Liu Musheng, the Grand Elder of Changqing Palace, who was at the peak of the True Person realm.

"Why are all the people who came in this time experts? Strange."

Liu Musheng had killed dozens of people along the way, but they were all experts at the True Person Realm, which made him feel a little puzzled.

Just then, he suddenly frowned, and a ripple appeared on his palm.

"Wait a minute, senior! It's me!"

Just then, a shout came from afar, and then Nangong Lie's figure suddenly flashed out from the forest.

When Nangong Lie saw Liu Musheng, he immediately bowed and clasped his hands in greeting, then took something out of his pocket, held it in his palm, and presented it to Liu Musheng.

"It's you?"

Liu Musheng looked at the cultivator who suddenly appeared and recognized him as the Immortal Alliance cultivator who had claimed to want to enter Changqing Palace. Moreover, in order to dispel his doubts, he even stated that he would show the sincerity he should.

"This is?!"

At this moment, Liu Musheng also noticed what Nangong Lie was holding in his palm. He was immediately shocked and then with a wave of his hand, he summoned the object into his hand.

The Qiankun Jade! It's actually this thing!

Liu Musheng was shocked. This was something that had been rumored to exist. Could this be his so-called sincerity?

Sure enough, upon seeing Liu Musheng's expression, a cold smile flashed across Nangong Lie's face, and he quickly said:

"This item is the trump card of those Immortal Alliance members. Once used, it can break through the restriction above the forest, and all our preparations will be in vain!"

"I devised a plan to trick you into giving me this item; that's my way of showing my sincerity!"

Liu Musheng listened to Nangong Lie's words and looked at the Qiankun Jade in his hand, and immediately fell into deep thought.

After a long pause, he spoke:

"Your entry into the palace requires the Palace Master's personal decision. You will stay behind me for now, and we'll discuss everything after this matter is resolved."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Lie's face lit up with a look of wild joy. He quickly lifted the hem of his shirt, bowed, and hurried behind Liu Musheng.

Where are those people?

Liu Musheng glanced at Nangong Lie, who had walked to the side and behind him, and slowly said.

Nangong Lie immediately said:

"It's right at the border ahead."

Upon hearing this, Liu Musheng nodded, then took a step, and a burst of light and shadow instantly enveloped him and Nangong Lie behind him, before they vanished from the spot.

After the two disappeared for a while, Ding Yi, who was hiding in the woods behind them, finally dared to relax.

"This Nangong Lie, I must say, is truly ruthless."

Ding Yi still couldn't believe what had just happened. The people of the Immortal Alliance had actually chosen to betray them in the first place?

Ding Yi thought such a melodramatic thing only happened in movies.

But why would this guy betray us after getting the Qiankun Jade? There's no reason for it.

Ding Yi pondered the matter for a long time but still couldn't reach a conclusion. But at this moment, he suddenly felt that things were starting to develop in a complicated direction.

His original plan was to lure the people from the Demon Palace to discover the location of the Evergreen Palace, and then spread the news.

Unexpectedly, the people from the Immortal Alliance were also drawn in, and the Venerable of Changqing Palace acted extremely quickly, sealing off the entire Crimson Forest in an instant, so that everyone inside became trapped like turtles in a jar.

It must be said that the Venerable One's methods were beyond Ding Yi's imagination.

Such a vast forest, spanning countless miles, could be sealed off in an instant. No wonder the Venerable One was marked as a black skull on that quicksand map.

Just as Ding Yi was pondering, a terrifying white light suddenly came from the far distance, and the five-colored divine light on his body automatically protected him and instantly appeared on his body.

"Boom!!"

Only after the blinding white light passed through Ding Yi's body did he hear a terrifying explosion.

An invisible wave of air, carrying blood-red broken branches and mud, swept away everything in its path. The strange creatures wandering in the forest also let out sharp cries in this white light and fled backward.

Such terrifying power stunned Ding Yi, who immediately drew the nuclear sword from the tattoo and plunged it into front of him.

"Om!!"

The massive nuclear sword, like a door panel, blocked Ding Yi's path, instantly reducing the pressure on his body. The entire blade of the nuclear sword trembled continuously under the impact, clearly indicating that it was being subjected to a violent shock.

"This is?!"

Ding Yi braced himself against the nuclear sword in front of him, his eyes filled with horror.

Such exaggerated power could not have been caused by any real person, and if Ding Yi was not mistaken, the epicenter of the explosion was thousands of miles above the ground.

With the clues piling up, a name immediately popped into Ding Yi's mind.

Qiankun Jade!!

Only the Qiankun Jade could create such a terrifying momentum from tens of thousands of miles away!

After the shockwave dissipated, Ding Yi slowly peeked out from behind the nuclear sword.

Holy crap, that's powerful.

Ding Yi looked around and his expression immediately darkened.

As far as the eye could see, the large trees had been reduced to ruins and lay fallen on the ground. The soil on the ground looked as if it had been repeatedly pounded by a dozen plows hundreds of times, and was full of huge, crisscrossing gullies.

A few wisps of white smoke rose slowly from the cracks in the soft soil, and the gray fog in the sky had completely dissipated, revealing large patches of sunlight.

If this was a strike from a Venerable One, Ding Yi knew he would have no chance of surviving the explosion's epicenter. After all, a Venerable One would certainly be able to control all power at a single point, and the power of such concentrated energy is unimaginable.

Taking a deep breath, Ding Yi drew his nuclear sword and then leaped forward, charging directly towards the site of the explosion.

On the other side, several cultivators from the Immortal Alliance looked up at the sky above them with grim expressions, their bodies trembling slightly.

The Qiankun Jade didn't break the seal!! This was their last piece of Qiankun Jade!

"impossible!!"

Someone looked up at the still murky void above their head, a look of horror appearing on their face.

No one can understand the feeling of having your last hope dashed; it's like going all in on a four-of-a-kind with one extra card only to be crushed by a straight flush.

Just then, a beam of azure light suddenly appeared from the void a hundred meters away, and then transformed into thousands of light swords, shooting towards these people.

"Fight the enemy first!"

Although the cultivators of the Immortal Alliance were extremely dejected at this moment, they still reacted to the impending attack.

After all, they were all experts on the Hidden Dragon Ranking. At this moment, everyone had their own methods, and colorful light suddenly appeared in the air, while the blue light rain was instantly wiped out.

At that moment, a loud voice came from the white mist.

"As expected of the prodigies on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, most late-stage True Immortals can't even withstand a single move from me, yet none of you are dead?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Musheng stepped out of the white mist, his feet treading on a light. Everyone's gaze lingered on him for a moment, and then they were all drawn to the figure behind him.

Nangong Lie!?

Everyone stared in disbelief. A few people had a fleeting look of realization, but others immediately burst into curses:

"Nangong Lie, have you gone mad from taking the Ascension Elixir?! How dare you pledge allegiance to Changqing Palace?!"

Nangong Lie stood behind Liu Musheng, his face calm, and slowly said:

“A wise bird chooses a good tree to perch on. The resurrection of Ancestor Changqing is the will of the Great Dao, and there is nothing that can stop it. Why should you all go against the will of Heaven?”

"Did you already know that the Qiankun Jade couldn't break this formation?"

A monk with a full beard asked in a cold voice.

"Who knows?"

Nangong Lie stood there and shrugged, a playful smile on his face.

"Senior, I also wish to join Changqing Palace in order to pursue the Great Dao!"

Just then, one person suddenly distanced himself from the group and shouted loudly.

The people around him were all stunned, and upon seeing this man, they immediately cursed:

"Huang Xuanzi, you!"

Huang Xuanzi smiled nonchalantly and then waited for Liu Musheng's reply.

To everyone's surprise, Liu Musheng shook his head slightly and said:

"Today you will all die, not one of you will be spared."

At that moment, right behind these people, Ding Yi was lying in a ditch in the ground, watching from afar.

"This is troublesome. It really is the Qiankun Jade, and it's no longer effective."

"What a piece of trash! It can't even break a single restriction!"

Ding Yi cursed inwardly, then lay back down in the crater and pulled a pen out of the tattoo.

"I wonder if my lifespan will be long enough..."

Ding Yi took a deep breath, then took out a small flag from the tattoo.

This little flag was brought by Jin Wuhuan when we were in the lower realm; I never expected it to come in handy now.

"Come on, let me see your limits!"

Ding Yi looked at the small flag in his hand, then picked up his pen and slowly began to write on it.
