Chapter 840 Cave Heaven?

That strange feeling came again.

Fu Qingzhou was clearly not dreaming and was clearly very awake, but he felt that he saw many people and many things.

He had forgotten the time and didn't know how far he had walked along that long road towards the sky.

This was supposed to be an extremely boring and tedious process, but for some reason, as he walked further and further, all kinds of people and things began to appear in his eyes.

Liang Guangchang, Wu Changfeng, Ning Wushu, Murong Yu...

What are these rebels they are talking about?

What about the Xishuo Army?

Also, they mentioned that Tang Jiao made a prophecy, what about that?

It seemed like a long time had passed.

But for Fu Qingzhou, he just had the feeling that it was "long", and he did not have the physical feeling that a particularly long time had passed. In his understanding, teaching Jiang Baichuan the Qingxu Sword Technique was just a thing of yesterday.

It even seemed that even his thoughts had become extremely slow.

"Is the cave so far away and so long?"

"Or is it because the path of cultivation I took was different from others that I became like this?"

Fu Qingzhou had this thought in his mind countless times.

But this time, it seems a little different.

He continued walking along the road skillfully and numbly, and a new picture flashed before his eyes again.

That's Tang Jiao.

She was wearing a thick plush cloak, standing in the snow, holding a Bagua plate in her hand, looking up at the sky.

"Big brother..."

Tang Jiao's eyes were sad and distant. Her gaze seemed to penetrate the clouds, travel through time and space, and look at Fu Qingzhou.

"It's time for you to wake up."

She whispered, "The time has come."

"Well!"

Fu Qingzhou suddenly opened his eyes!
The next second, the sunlight shone into his eyes, making them feel as if they were being pricked by needles. He cried out softly and put his hands over his eyes. His fingertips touched his forehead, but he did not touch the third eye.

Then he started coughing heavily, and then began to breathe deeply, as if he had not breathed normally for a long time, sucking in the air madly and greedily.

And when he covered his mouth because he was coughing, he actually touched a handful of hard and prickly beard!

"This……"

Fu Qingzhou slowly came back to his senses.

He slowly opened his eyes and touched his body.

Beard, he has a full beard.

His Taoist robe was covered in dust and a little damp.

Even his hair had grown much longer. The band that was originally used to tie his hair behind his head had broken at some point, and his long hair fell to his waist.

It really took a long time.

Fu Qingzhou's heart sank slightly.

This is a long time. How long is it?

A few months? Or...a few years?
How are my friends? Qiu Chan, Tang Jiao, how are they?

Normally, it is difficult to calm down once your mind is filled with thoughts.

But for some reason, Fu Qingzhou calmed down quickly in just a breath.

"There's no point in being impatient. First, I need to confirm whether I have broken through to the cave heaven... Also, I need to deal with Jiang Baichuan."

He turned his gaze to Jiang Baichuan not far away.

Upon seeing this, Fu Qingzhou was slightly stunned.

Jiang Baichuan...is as skinny as a skeleton.

He could no longer hold up the loose clothes on his body, and his whole body looked like a scarecrow wrapped in the clothes. His messy gray hair and beard almost covered his face. If his chest had not been slightly rising and falling, Fu Qingzhou would have thought he was dead.

And just as Fu Qingzhou looked over, Jiang Baichuan actually spoke.

"You finally... woke up..."

His voice was hoarse as if it had been rubbed by sand and stone: "Did you break through... the cave...?"

Fu Qingzhou stared intently.

Did he break through the cave? He actually... didn't know.

Logically speaking, the sign of breaking through the cave heaven is to be able to sense one of the five cave heavens, but Fu Qingzhou never sensed it. He just walked a long way on the road to the cave heaven, but never reached the end.

"Try... a spell..."

Jiang Baichuan spoke again, his beard trembling slightly, and his voice was so weak that he seemed like he might die at any time: "Try..."

Yes, magic!

Fu Qingzhou's eyes lit up.

Those who are in the cave heaven have both martial and spiritual orifices open!
Because my Dantian was broken, all my acupoints and meridians could no longer be understood with common sense. It was meaningless to just look inside my acupoints and meridians. But as long as I could use some spells without any hindrance...

With a slight movement of his mind, Fu Qingzhou stretched out his hand and made a slight wave in the air.

He didn't learn too many complicated spells, and the one he was most familiar with was of course talismans.

But for him, who was at the second level of spiritual enlightenment in the past, most of the spells had to be carefully written on talisman paper and then activated with talismans before they could be cast.

just now……

Fu Qingzhou looked at the golden light gushing out from his fingertips, and watched the golden light condense into talismans in the air.

Afterwards, those runes circulated and condensed in the air, turning into an explosive fireball as big as a carriage, which flew towards the mountain wall nearby and exploded on the wall!

Amidst the loud bangs, the mountain wall shook, huge rocks rolled down, and even the ground trembled slightly. When the flames died down and the smoke cleared, a huge pit with a diameter of several feet could be seen on the mountain wall, and the pit was charred black.

"Good, good fellow!"

Fu Qingzhou was extremely surprised!
"You... succeeded..." Jiang Baichuan's voice was still weak: "Your cave heaven... is extraordinary..."

Of course Fu Qingzhou also knew this.

It’s not like he hasn’t seen someone who has opened a level of cave.

But could a spell be so powerful? A person at the first level of the cave heaven couldn't do that!
"So, how many layers of caves have I opened?"

Besides being surprised, Fu Qingzhou also felt a little strange.

It seems like I have embarked on a strange path.

"What about your...my own way...?" Jiang Baichuan asked again.

His face was covered by messy long hair, his eyebrows could not be seen clearly, and it was impossible to tell what his eyes looked like.

Fu Qingzhou slowly stood up and said softly, "Can you still wait?"

"I can't wait any longer."

Jiang Baichuan said weakly: "But... right now, you may not be able to defeat me."

Fu Qingzhou sneered: "You are like this? Can you still fight?"

"I have..."

Jiang Baichuan said solemnly: "I have realized... the supreme great way."

Fu Qingzhou was shocked!
He narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered, "Supreme Dao, is this your character?"

"My body...is already...broken."

Jiang Baichuan said hoarsely but calmly: "But I... am stronger than ever before... when... this body dies... I will... be able to ascend to the great way..."

Fu Qingzhou frowned.

Is there such a thing?
You have realized the great truth, but because your physical condition is too bad, your soul is trapped in your body and you are unable to display it?
So can I kill him now?
Or……

"Come...fight."

Jiang Baichuan dragged his voice and said: "You have already... the cave... only my way... you can understand it in an instant... the battle between you and me may make you successful... or I may make you successful... if you miss this opportunity... you will... never have another chance."

Fu Qingzhou let out a light breath.

It turns out that when Jiang Baichuan said "I can't wait", he wasn't talking about himself.

It turns out that he also has an invincible heart?
"Well, since you are so confident... I don't mind attacking a dying old man."

Fu Qingzhou said slowly: "Then you are ready!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he raised his hand to condense his energy and was about to attack.

But at this moment, Jiang Baichuan suddenly raised his head, his long hair spread out on his face, revealing his cloudy eyes.

A pair of gazes pierced into Fu Qingzhou's eyes, and a strange wave instantly spread in the air.

The next moment, the eyes of both of them became empty and void, and their bodies seemed to be petrified and no longer moved.

Their fight...is not between fists, feet and swords.

But in the heart and in the mind.
