This was aging!
This was accelerating aging, the loss of vitality!
Qinchuan was shocked. This was real. What was being lost here was one's lifespan. A cultivator's lifespan was long because cultivation strengthened their vitality, and this was a place that could accelerate the aging of the human body.
Even a powerhouse would probably only be able to survive for a year or so before dying of old age.
Fortunately, it was only four hours. In addition, he had absorbed a lot of vitality before. Even so, he would still lose ten years of his lifespan in this place. Those who were strong might lose a little less.
Ten years of lifespan was very precious. However, this loss of lifespan could be compensated with elixirs. However, elixirs that could increase one's lifespan were very expensive. Even if it was a pill that could increase one's lifespan by a year or so, it was still very precious.
Some old monsters were approaching the end of their lifespan, but they still had important things to do. At this time, an elixir could increase their lifespan by a year, and they might be able to turn the tables.
Qinchuan found that his vitality was not being lost very quickly. His aging was very slow. Even if the vitality he absorbed before was not enough, he would at most lose a year of his lifespan.
He looked at Fan Qing Chen and found that this woman was even slower. Her vitality was being lost even slower than his. The vitality he absorbed before was not used up. At this rate, he could still make a profit …
Fan Qing Chen looked at Qin Chuan with a slight smile on her face. This was the allure of an angel, the charm of holiness. Qin Chuan was really looking forward to the blissful life he would have after finding her in the Sanctuary …
Fan Qing Chen glared at him, and Qinchuan seemed to wake up from a dream. He smiled and moved closer to her. He breathed in the fragrance of her body and let out a breath of satisfaction.
"Smelly fellow!" Fan Qing Chen said with a smile that was not a smile.
When these three words came out of her mouth, it was especially nice and warm. It was strange. He did not feel anything else but warmth and intimacy. Qinchuan was very happy. Other men wanted to make her say this, but they were not qualified …
Everyone else was on guard. Qinchuan and Fan Qing Chen were very relaxed.
Four hours passed quickly.
On the other side of the scene, it was still the same as before. However, this place was filled with a very unpleasant smell. It smelled like rot and decay. What came into sight was an aura that was more serious than weakening.
This was the aura of sickness.
Life, old age.
Previously, it was anger and aging!
At first, it was the Four Seasons. Then, it was the Darkness. Now, it was the Sickness of Birth and Old Age. If there were no accidents, the next one would be death.
Qinchuan's body was strong, so the sickness could not enter Qinchuan's body.
Fan Qingchen was fine, but the rest were in a sorry state. The Human Emperor Sect Leader and a few other powerful people were fine, but two or three of them were pale as if they were sick.
"What's the next stage?" Qinchuan asked Fan Qing Chen.
"A test of life and death," Fan Qingchen said seriously as he looked at Qinchuan.
This trial couldn't be said to be difficult. If one's strength wasn't enough and their constitution wasn't good enough, they would definitely die here. The disease would enter their bodies and there would be no way to save them.
However, if one was strong and had a strong physique, then this stage would be nothing.
Qinchuan was now at the trance stage of the Great Dao of Vajra. With the Overwhelming Tyrant Body and his physique, it was rare to find a physique stronger than Qinchuan's.
Four hours later, the group left this place and appeared in a lifeless city.
The Death Qi was everywhere.
It was as if one's soul was about to be stripped away. This was a test of one's Spiritual Energy.
Birth, Old Age, Sickness, and Death were the rules of the Heavenly Path. Cultivators pursued longevity, fought for destiny, and fought against the heavens. All of this was to seek longevity. The path of longevity had always been the number one path. Longevity didn't mean that one wouldn't die. It was to live longer.
There were only him and Fan Qing Chen here.
Fan Qing Chen's expression changed when he arrived.
Qinchuan asked, "What's wrong?"
"It wasn't like this before," Fan Qing Chen said.
Qinchuan was stunned, but he smiled and said, "It's okay!"
"Qinchuan, although it's different from the last time, the rules should be the same. You have to leave here in four hours, or you will die," Fan Qing Chen said.
Qinchuan nodded, "Don't worry, I'll bring you out!"
He wasn't worried. He had the Golden God's Eye and the Gate of Heaven Escape. He just didn't know if the Gate of Heaven Escape could be used.
Qinchuan looked and his expression changed.
The Gate of Heaven Escape failed again.
This …
Time passed bit by bit.
Fan Qing Chen and Qinchuan found the exit in the last 15 minutes.
It was an Energy Teleportation Formation.
They should have been happy, but they couldn't because the Teleportation Formation could only send one person out. After the teleportation, the energy would disappear.
The Death Qi in the sky rumbled like a dragon. It seemed like it would swallow this place soon.
Qinchuan thought about the time with Luo Hua and Mo Ren. That time, there were three of them and only two of them could leave.
The Gate of Heaven Escape failed that time.
There was another time with the Moon Wolf King. The situation was similar. The Moon Wolf King attacked him and forced him to leave, while she waited for death. That time, the Heavens opened their eyes. It was a test.
He had been through two tests. This time, Qinchuan didn't know if it was a test. Luck wouldn't always be with one person. It had been two times. Qinchuan felt very lucky.
"Qinchuan, I have a way to leave. Wait for me there." Fan Qing Chen smiled.
Qinchuan smiled. "I have a way too, and more than one. Wait for me there."
Fan Qing Chen thought about it and said, "Then you can leave first. I'll leave later."
"Woman, don't be so stubborn." Qinchuan walked over.
Fan Qing Chen took a step back and looked at Qinchuan. "Qinchuan, listen to me."
Qinchuan stopped and said, "In this world, you are the only person I care about. If I leave and you stay here, I won't be able to live. Do you understand?"
Qin Chuan wasn't sure if this was a test or if it was real. Everyone was afraid of death, and Qin Chuan was no exception. However, he still hoped that he would be able to resist this place and not die. He had his own treasured beast, and when the time came, he would be able to escape with his life.
Fan Qing Chen said what she was thinking. She looked at Qinchuan. She was serious and happy. She didn't feel the pain of choosing between life and death.
Qinchuan shook his head. "I'm alive. I can't watch my woman die," Qinchuan said seriously.
"I'm not your woman. I'm not. Leave. We don't have much time." Fan Qing Chen said angrily.
"If we leave, we leave together. If we stay, we stay together." Qinchuan shook his head.
