Eight Desolate Valkyries

Chapter 1144 The Great Emperor Zhenwu
It had been half a year since Luo Cheng reached the fifth stage of "The Book of Eternal Life".

After such a long time, Luo Cheng was a little anxious, not because of staying here for a long time.

You know, he was imprisoned in the Azure Dragon Hall for 1 years!
He was afraid that Nie Xiaoqian and the others would be anxious.

"Don't do anything stupid."

Luo Cheng was praying in his heart, and suddenly found something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it.

"Wait a moment!"

The female Taoist priest who had been using meditation to pass the time yelled, changed her usual image, hurriedly came to Luo Cheng, and said, "You told me before that it takes 20 years from entering to dying, right?"

"Well, these 20 years are the time limit for practicing the "Book of Eternal Life"."

"If this is the case, it is impossible! Don't look at the two of us in the Hall of Eternal Life at the same time. There was only one person in the Hall of Eternal Life before."

Hearing this, Luo Cheng sensed something was wrong.

"There are more than 3 people, and none of them have succeeded in cultivation, which means that each person spent 20 years, that is, the Palace of Eternal Life has existed for 60 years! This is simply impossible!"

The female Taoist priest seemed to be crazy. After saying this, she cried and laughed, and walked up and down in the Hall of Eternal Life.

Luo Cheng finally understood what was wrong, but he didn't feel any joy at all.

This means that from the beginning, the Temple of Eternal Life was a hoax and the female Taoist priestess was right to prevent others from coming in.

"It's not okay to be smart."

The female voice in the Hall of Eternal Life couldn't sit still.

"Then how do you explain it!" Luo Cheng said coldly.

"It's very simple. The time in the Palace of Eternal Life is different from that in the outside world. You have been here for more than half a year, but it is only half an hour outside." The female voice explained.

"This is impossible!"

This kind of thing is simply a fantasy, not to mention that the female Taoist priest doesn't believe it, Luo Cheng, who is well-informed, also finds it far-fetched.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

If the Hall of Eternal Life had said this earlier, Luo Cheng and the female Taoist priest would not have strongly doubted it.

Waiting until Luo Cheng and the female Taoist priest realized something was wrong before they came out to explain, it was hard to be convincing.

"You didn't ask." The female voice said calmly.

When the female Taoist priest entered, she didn't believe in the Palace of Eternal Life at all, and the female voice didn't explain it, let alone this situation.

The female Taoist still didn't believe it, but Luo Cheng intuitively told him it was true.

He practiced the "Book of Eternal Life" to the fifth level, and he didn't feel uncomfortable, and there was no such thing as the female Taoist said.

What's more, he has already seen the ability of the Palace of Eternal Life. If it is really a monster, there is no need to make it so complicated.

Luo Cheng's thinking was quick, and he quickly thought of something, and said: "If this is the case, can I practice here? After ten years of retreat, I can only go outside for a few days, right?"

"As long as you succeed in cultivating within the specified time, it's up to you."

"Say early."

Luo Cheng was very annoyed. He broke the record every time. Naturally, he had a lot of time to improve his level, especially as the further to the back, the longer the stipulated time.

For example, for the fifth level, one must successfully cultivate within three years.

It only took Luo Cheng three months, and he had more than two years to practice.

But the fifth level has been cultivated successfully, and now the stipulated time has reached the sixth level.

Luo Cheng felt that it was a waste, and he was glad that he didn't know this at the end.

"The time limit for the sixth floor is five years. I should be able to finish it in half a year. This time is used to improve the realm."

As the saying goes, time is money, such an opportunity is in front of you, once you miss it, Luo Cheng will not forgive himself.

"Hey! Don't take risks, practice the "Book of Eternal Life" first!"

The female Taoist priest could not help but feel worried when she saw that he was going to put down the "Book of Eternal Life" temporarily.

"Sorry, I'm still in the tenth level of life and death, and this opportunity should not be missed."

Luo Cheng's tone of talking about his realm was exactly the same as when the other party mentioned it before.

The female Taoist gritted her teeth, worried, and said: "What if the sixth stage is more difficult than the fifth stage? You wasted a lot of time, and you encountered difficulties and failed in the end. Wouldn't it be a waste of all your previous efforts?"

"I have confidence."

"You are irresponsible!"

Seeing her excitement, Luo Cheng shrugged and said, "Why should I be responsible to you?"

The female Taoist priest was speechless, if it wasn't for the Palace of Eternal Life protecting Luo Cheng, she would definitely threaten him.

Being locked up in a claustrophobic space for a long time almost drove her crazy.

Looking at Luo Cheng's current state, he must use the remaining time. By the time he reaches the tenth level of cultivation, it may be ten years later.

Although it was only a few days outside, she would really spend ten years in the Hall of Eternal Life.

But what Luo Cheng said is right, there is no need to consider her feelings.

"You can also practice, such a good opportunity."

"I just want to get out!"

The female Taoist priest looked a little nervous, she looked at the gate of the Hall of Eternal Life, and said: "Besides, if I really practice, you will not allow it."

"I'm not that overbearing."

"is it?"

Seeing that he didn't believe it, the female Taoist asked Luo Cheng for a futon from her Qiankun bag, and sat on the ground to start practicing.

Not long after, the energy of the entire Hall of Eternal Life was absorbed by her.

It was about the same as when Luo Cheng broke through the Creation Realm in Xuanmen.

"The energy needed by the good fortune environment is beyond your imagination. If we practice at the same time, you will get nothing."

Luo Cheng nodded like a model, and said: "Then you are right, don't practice."

The female Taoist priest was not surprised, she threw the futon to Luo Cheng, and responded with such behavior.

Luo Cheng was also polite, sitting on the futon, he didn't think it was unfair, the female Taoist priest had to rely on him if she wanted to go out.

However, Luo Cheng was somewhat ashamed, and said: "You said that Luo Hu is already your Taoist, why?"

He still remembered this, but he was too angry at the time to listen to it.

The female Taoist said: "Do you know why Zhenwu Continent is called this name?"

Instead of answering Luo Cheng's words, she asked a question instead.

Luo Cheng shook his head.

"Because the Zhenwu Continent was created by Emperor Zhenwu, and Luo Hu is the reincarnation of Emperor Zhenwu."

Luo Cheng smiled, and didn't quite believe it, said: "Emperor Zhenwu? This is your Taoist story, I'm sure, Buddhism will also say that Zhenwu Continent was created by one of their Buddhas."

The female Taoist priest did not argue, but murmured: "The world is ignorant."

"Just because he is the reincarnation of Emperor Zhenwu, I can't kill him?"

"Can't kill!"

"why?"

"Our Taoist Church will stop you."

"Us? You seem to say that Taoism is one of your forces, do you think it can represent Taoism?"

Luo Cheng found that this woman's tone was really strong enough, she described Taoism as a force.

If she said that there is Taoist orthodoxy behind her, Luo Cheng might believe it.

But such a statement made Luo Cheng unacceptable.

"You sound like you know Taoism very well?" The female Taoist found that when he talked about Taoism, he was not as ignorant as most people, but revealed confidence and seemed to understand it very well.

"Why do you think Luo Hu is the Emperor Zhenwu?" Luo Cheng asked back.

Hearing this, the female Taoist priest's face was extremely complicated, she glanced at Luo Cheng, and said, "Because he has the heart of supremacy."
