Black, pitch black.

When the soul of Ren Hong sneaked into the Six Soul Flags and pushed open the door of Fengdu Palace, his consciousness fell into darkness.

This is a realm of pure darkness, where no light can be felt. Even in the darkness, memories fade little by little.

"This is the difficulty of annihilation. Life and death are annihilated, the true spirit does not exist, and eventually it completely disappears into nothingness."

Ren Hong stroked his forehead gently, and the jade-like immortal energy rose up, holding up a pearl. The principle of this pearl transporting and transforming the five elements is the innate way that Ren Hong understands.

The light cuts through the darkness, temporarily calming the soul and keeping the memory intact.

The disaster of Nirvana is very dangerous, and many masters have fallen into this difficulty. Some people barely managed to maintain their spiritual integrity and fled with their souls cut off. Others fell asleep here forever, leaving only a trace of the innate path.

Ren Hong walked cautiously. Although he was in darkness, his immortal sense could still sense nearby buildings.

The beams and pillars of the palace, city walls, arch bridges... and strange large stones.

"It feels like this is not the first time I have been walking in the dark for a long time."

Although Ren Hong could not find a similar experience in his memory, he had a strange nostalgia for the experience at this moment.

It seemed that once upon a time, I had walked in the dark for a long time and finally came to a strange place.

"Did I really lose some memory?"

Snapped--

While he was deep in thought, he almost tripped over a stubborn stone.

"These Six Soul Flags are real. Why are you displaying all these stubborn rocks in the Fengdu Palace when you have nothing to do? Do you want to make a viewing rock - wait..."

Ren Hong had a flash of inspiration and suddenly realized: "These stones contain the innate way, and they should be left behind by those who have gone before."

Squatting down and observing the stone under his feet, this stone was lifeless and completely a stubborn stone. Exploring the surface of the stubborn stone, Ren Hong sensed a strange innate way.

That is the moral principle of all things, involving the spiritual mysteries deep in the soul. Now this master has fallen into eternal sleep, and his innate path has become a pattern on the surface of a stubborn stone.

Then, Ren Hong went to observe another stubborn stone. It was slightly warm and engraved with a flame totem, symbolizing a certain expert who practiced innate real fire.

There are also cold stones with water ripples on the surface, smooth round stones, and meteorites that contain the power of stars...

Among these stones, Ren Hong found many familiar Taoists.

Finally, he stood in front of an exquisite nine-hole stone. The fairy stone had nine holes, and when he tapped it gently, there was a sweet fairy sound.

"Sister Yan Fei's distraction."

These Dao Lords could not overcome the difficulty of annihilation, so they could only cut off the distractions and abandon the Six Soul Flags. The distractions stayed here for a long time, turning into pieces of innate Dao stones.

"If I can't survive the tribulation of annihilation, I'm afraid I'll end up like this."

But Ren Hong is confident that he will definitely be able to survive the difficulty of Nirvana.

Because, Su Jun is outside!

The most troublesome thing about the difficulty of annihilation is that the true spirit is ignorant and the self does not exist.

But Ren Hong and Su Jun were born from the same soul. When the two merged, Ren Hong could freely sense Su Jun's state.

Su Jun, who is in the outside world, is like a bright light in the darkness, enough to protect Ren Hong and successfully pass the customs.

Crossing one arch bridge after another and passing through multiple palace gates. The power of darkness in the darkness became stronger and stronger. Ren Hong's memory gradually faded, and he gradually lost track of his identity and his origins.

In a state of confusion, he only knew that he should keep walking.

"Can't stop, can't fall asleep."

Even in the darkness, he had lost his way and could no longer distinguish between east, west, north and west. But there was still a voice in his head urging him to move forward.

Can't stop.

…

Su Jun sat on the floor, placed all the fruits and snacks beside Ren Hong in front of him, and started eating carelessly.

He saw Ren Hong's eyes closed tightly, and an invisible force seemed to rise from his body. However, due to the suppression of the Jueling Realm, this force could not be dispersed and disappeared automatically.

"Will this guy succeed?" Su Jun said vaguely with his mouth bulging: "Isn't it said that the Six Soul Flags tricked a lot of experts?"

Of course, Su Jun believed that even if Ren Hong could not survive, he could still protect himself. Therefore, he was not worried at all.

Instead, taking advantage of Ren Hong's eyes being closed, he moved his eyes, took out the ink and brush from the palace, and walked into Ren Hong step by step.

"God-given opportunity, if I don't seize it, I won't find another opportunity in the future."

He was gearing up and sketched out a lot of things he wanted to write in his mind. But when he actually started to write, he hesitated again and again. He only drew a turtle on his forehead and a few beards on his mouth.

…

In the darkness, Ren Hong became more and more tired. The ubiquitous power of eternal sleep prevented him from taking steps. Even in the darkness, loneliness, loneliness and other emotions automatically grew.

He is a lonely traveler who has forgotten everything, wandering alone in the meaningless darkness.

This state is enough to drive all living beings crazy.

If it hadn't been for the comfort provided by a bond deep in his soul, I'm afraid he would have turned into a stubborn stone and completely closed himself off like other Dao Lords.

Bang——

Suddenly, Ren Hong bumped into a pillar. At that moment, his spiritual platform became clear and his whole body suddenly regained consciousness.

Looking up, he was standing in front of a dark palace. On the plaque were three large characters written in innate red script - Netherworld Palace.

"arrive!"

The lost memories were restored one by one, and Ren Hong found himself again.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Ren Hongxin said: Thanks to Su Jun this time, or our special relationship. Otherwise...

Ren Hong has been practicing cultivation for hundreds of years, and his character is probably a little inferior to that of Concubine Yan. The calamity that could drive Concubine Yan crazy, but he escaped so easily, all because of external help.

"The next step is the Netherworld Palace."

Ren Hong originally wanted to leave temporarily and talk later. But then he thought about it and took the initiative to open the door of Nether Palace.

The door opened slowly, and Ren Hong didn't have time to look at the scene inside. A man in a green robe flew towards him: "Haha... after so many years, someone finally came in!"

The man hugged Ren Hong. Even though he was in the spirit body, Ren Hong was almost pushed by the man's impact.

Ren Hong quickly pushed the man away and took a few steps back.

Through the light in the Nether Palace, Ren Hong saw the man's face.

Sure enough, Yuchen Daojun.

Master Yuchen saw Ren Hong retreating and was worried that he would escape, so he pulled him towards the palace: "Come on, come on, since you are here, come in quickly."

"No, let's forget it."

Seeing Yuchen's appearance, which was completely different from the Yuchen Daojun in the North Kunlun fantasy world, Ren Hong became wary and refused to enter the palace.

He exerted force on his feet, silently mobilizing the immortal energy of Yuqing to wrap around the pillar next to him.

"oh?"

Yu Chen noticed something, his eyes flashed, he glanced in the direction of Ren Hong, and quickly pressed his shoulder: "Boy, since you are a member of your family, come in quickly! Otherwise, I will go find your parents later!"

The super clear mana was spat out, and the vast force overwhelmed Ren Hong's mana, dragging him directly into the Netherworld Palace.

Bang——

The door is closed.

Ren Hong looked at the door silently and sighed in his heart. He turned around and bowed his head to Yu Chen: "Disciple pays homage to my uncle. Master invited me in. What advice do you have?"

"What advice!" The carefree young man in green robe said angrily, "Hurry up, start the ninth difficulty, and then let me out!"

After so many years, I have been trapped here, and I finally found someone who can take the Nine Difficulties Trial.

Ren Hong blinked, looked to the left and to the right.

There are various daily utensils in the entire Nether Palace, as well as many game props. Apparently they were made by Master Yuchen himself when he was bored.

In the center of the hall, there is a vortex of yin and yang, which is the ninth difficult trial.

Master Yuchen babbled: "Hurry up... This is what your Yuqing family owes me. Damn Qingxuan, last time he came here, he walked around the door and ran away! Wait for me when I go out, you must go

Yuxu Palace beat him!"

When Ren Hong heard this, he quickly asked: "Senior Brother Qingxuan has been here?"

"Haha..." When Qingxuan was mentioned, Yu Chen got angry: "The original body couldn't go through the ninth difficulty, so he cut me off to guide those who came after me. That kid Qingxuan was the first one from the Sanqing Sect to come here.

.But he didn’t come in at all!”

"Damn you bastard, when I get out, I will never let you and Jin Ling have a thing. Just wait, there is absolutely no chance for you two within ten tribulations."

Hearing Yu Chen's casual thoughts, Ren Hong couldn't help but help Qing Xuan: "Senior Brother Xu Shi didn't notice it. If he knew that you were here, he would definitely come in to visit. After all, my family, Yu Qing, respects his master..."

"Shit! That kid definitely noticed that I was there! How could he not notice that there was someone in the Netherworld Palace for such a smart person? But he wouldn't come in! He just bypassed me and tried to get out of the distraction. That kid just wanted to look good at me.

play!"

"Wait a minute...can I get rid of the distraction even if I don't complete the ninth difficulty?"

But if that's the case, why, uncle, you...

Yu Chen immediately shut up and became alert.

He looked Ren Hong up and down, then put on a smile and pushed him to the trial whirlpool.

"My nephew, no matter what, start quickly. It will be in your interest to wait for my uncle to go out."

What good is it? Your body has ascended. When you go out, you will ascend immediately. What good can you give me?

Ren Hong rolled his eyes and showed an innocent smile.

"Uncle Master, I just came out of the Nirvana Dilemma, and my soul is a little uncomfortable. Please allow me to rest. After all, the ninth difficulty is too difficult. If I fail, I will be trapped here."

"Don't worry, don't worry. I'm here to take care of your clearance."

Over the years, Yu Chen has been distracted here and has studied the trials thoroughly. He originally made up his mind to accept the trialists as his disciples. But since he is the successor of his senior brother, he can save this process.

Just go out directly.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute."

Ren Hong sat on the floor and chatted with Yu Chen.

"Uncle, aren't you curious about what's going on outside? You know, the current situation in Biyou Palace is not good. Ever since the separation of the Sanqing family..."

"Family separation? I quarreled with your master again?" Yu Chen heard this and sat down curiously: "It's not that we won't separate the family for the time being. When we go back to become gods, we will quarrel again and establish the three religions.

Infighting?"

Hearing this sentence, Ren Hong had something in his mind.

This distraction definitely dates from the Sanqing Sect period. Moreover, the internal fighting among the three sects is a secret for the future?

He immediately talked to Yuchen and told Yuchen about the events of these thousands of years. Of course, he put aside his relationship with the Emperor's Pavilion.

While chatting, Yuchen accidentally mentioned some secrets about the future.

According to the plan of the Three Purities, the emperor will be defeated in this era, and when the Xuanyuan world is established in the next era, there will be a great movement to confer gods. At that time, the Heavenly Court will be established and the gods will be canonized. The Three Purities Taoism will also face an internal fight.

According to the plan of the three leaders, Taiqing and Shangqing joined forces to attack Yuqing and took the opportunity to send some of their disciples to heaven. By the way, some people were sent to the West, and then the leader of Taiqing turned into a Hu and split the fate of Buddhism.

Of course, the main premise of all these plans is to defeat the emperor.

The last thing we need to do is seal Him away.

Ren Hong listened with great interest, and from time to time he took the opportunity to ask some questions about Taoist practice.

Yu Chen was good at being a teacher, so he simply cleared up Ren Hong's various doubts one by one. He also gave some advice: "It seems that your realm has reached the level of Yuanshen? You are only one step away from reaching the level of Yuanshen? Then you have to be careful about the 'Knocking Heart Tribulation'."

When cultivating the soul in our immortal family, there must be a heart knot that needs to be resolved. As long as you untie the heart knot, you will immediately feel the heavenly tribulation. But with your cultivation level, the heart gate shouldn't be difficult."

The two of them were chatting animatedly, not knowing how old they were outside.
