C695 Where People Have a Need
Chen Chang Ku passed by the sixth floor, but did not enter the sixth floor, and instead went straight up the stairs to the top floor.
At this moment, he was relying on his courage to reach the top. He didn't want to lose his courage by entering the sixth floor first. By the time he reached the seventh floor, his confidence would be insufficient.
The space at the top of the Seven Prison Demon Pagoda was not big, and was far from comparable to the first floor. However, it was still relatively empty to lock a person up.
In the space surrounded by the eight walls of the seventh floor, there was a tea table and a praying mat.
The tea table was made from striped ebony wood with the other name of "Black sandalwood". On it was a tea set carved from high-grade spirit stones.
The praying mat was made up of the Celestial Spirit Cattail Grass from the Antarctic Heavenly Territory. There was a person sitting on it.
This person did not look like a cultivator of the first floor. He was imprisoned by a visible dark iron cage. He did not have a dark iron cage around him, nor did he have a dark iron lock on his body.
He quietly sat cross-legged on the black prayer mat, his messy hair covering his face and ears.
Chen Chang He's heart began to race.
If not for the fact that he had mastered the Seven Prison Demon Pagoda and was extremely knowledgeable about it, he knew that even though he was not trapped by the profound iron cage that could be seen with the naked eye, he would still be trapped by an invisible formation and would not dare to rashly go up to the top floor.
If a Life and Death Realm expert wanted to kill him, he wouldn't even have the chance to use the Seven Prison Demon Pagoda to kill them.
He was once a Life and Death Realm cultivator, so he knew how fast a Life and Death Realm cultivator could kill.
Chen Chang He looked at the artifact spirit, and then shifted his gaze to the person on the praying mat.
It was hard to tell whether he was tall and sturdy or thin. However, from his weather-beaten hands, one could tell that he must have been very old, very old even before he was imprisoned.
Putting aside the fact that this person had spent several hundred years in the Seven Prison Demon Pagoda, just cultivating to this level already required several hundred years, so Chen Chang He did not have the slightest bit of uneasiness in his heart as he called out "old senior".
In his previous life, although Chen Chunyu was the number one Sword God in the Arctic Region, due to various fortuitous encounters, his cultivation speed was astonishingly fast. When he cultivated to the highest realm, beyond the Life and Death Realm, it only took about a hundred years.
When Chen Changsheng first started to call him grandpa Chen Taiji, he felt a pinch in his heart. After all, when it came to true age, Chen Taiji still needed to call himself "brat" in front of him. However, when Chen Chou called him "old senior", it could be considered "sincere" and he was more than willing to do so.
The person on the praying mat did not pay any attention to him, it was obvious that he was the owner of the Seven Prison Demon Pagoda and had the ability to control his life and death, so he did not care.
Chen Chang He was not annoyed, and continued to speak: "Old senior, actually, I wanted to take things step by step, first conquering a first layer cultivator and a second layer cultivator, and then conquering a fourth layer cultivator when my strength has reached a certain level, and then a sixth layer cultivator, and finally, I was able to take you into consideration. "But now that I've encountered a big problem and my opponent is a Life and Death Realm cultivator, other than asking for your help, I really have no other choice."
Perhaps it was because he had not communicated with anyone for hundreds of years, the half-hidden figure in the darkness did not hold the expert's position and remained silent for a long time.
When Chen Chang Ku finished speaking, he immediately made his move.
He first let out a disdainful "hmph" from his nasal cavity before a hoarse voice that sounded as if it was made from dozens of years of friction against a wooden door could be heard.
"You don't even dare to open the tiger formation, and you still say you want to invite me out?"
Hearing the envious voice that echoed on the eight walls of the seventh floor, Chen Chang He raised his eyebrows and suddenly laughed: "Actually, when I was at the top, I had been thinking of a way to win over both of you, and how to get senior to help me while ensuring that senior will not kill me."
The figure sitting cross-legged on the prayer mat slowly raised his head. His hair fell back, revealing half of his incomparably aged face and a gaze brimming with ridicule.
"Tell me about it."
Upon hearing that, Chen Changyu did not hold onto anything, and immediately said: "First, given senior's cultivation level, even if I am stronger than senior, I will not be able to make you sincerely submit to me and help me, so to request for your help outside the mountain, I must give you sufficient benefits. In this world, where there are people, there is demand. Where there is demand, there is business. "
The old man asked, "What do I need?"
Chen Chang'e said firmly, "Freedom, communication."
The other cultivators all had companions, and the number of cultivators on the sixth floor was eighty. Only the people on the seventh floor were the loneliest.
When a person was alone for a long time, loneliness would tear apart his spirit and devour his soul.0
No matter how much the world loved being alone, it was actually because they were afraid of being alone. Perhaps their own circle of friends were clean and empty, but the world was still full of people. If those who claimed to like being alone were to be like the old man in front of Chen Chang'e, and were to be left alone for hundreds of years within the eight walls of the Seven Prison Demon Pagoda's roof, their mentality would naturally change.
The cultivators on the second floor who had thousands of companions would go crazy after being trapped for hundreds of years, not to mention the old man who had been alone for hundreds of years.
Facing Chen Chang He's certainty and confidence, the old man did not deny or refute him, but instead said lightly and hoarsely: "I do yearn for freedom and communication, so logically speaking, I should not have cared about a hairless brat like you, but I still had this conversation with you. To me, your appearance is like a rain after a long drought, but... What degree of freedom can you give me? Permanent opening of the sibling formation and the entrance of the seven layers connecting to the other layers? "Do you dare?"
The first few words were all nonsense, but the last three words were the most important.
Do you dare?
Of course, Chen Chang Ku did not dare to do so.
It meant that from now on, the old man's movements in the Seven Prison Demon Pagoda would no longer be under his control. Chen Chang He would no longer dare to step into the Seven Prison Demon Pagoda, because as long as he stepped into the Seven Prison Demon Pagoda, he would be easily killed by the old man who had a cultivation of the Life and Death Realm.
The old man sneered: "Besides, even if you promise to permanently open the channel between the array and the seventh layer, I won't believe you. I left the Tiger Formation and the Seven Prison Demon Pagoda, and helped you solve the problem. Who knows if you will be able to destroy the bridge after crossing the sea? "In the world of cultivation, everyone is full of deceit and malicious intents. A few hundred years ago, I was already tired of them."
