"Are you also here for the source of the Netherworld?"
Zhao Xuanqi looked at the other party and asked.
"certainly."
Ling didn't shy away from this at all and admitted it directly.
"There's everything I need there, and of course, there's also what you need."
Ling said with a smile.
"You know what I need?"
Zhao Xuanqi said calmly.
"It is not a secret that reincarnations of the infinite path need a lot of merit in the process of growth. The dangers of alien sources in this world are related to the source of the Netherworld. Moreover, after mastering the source of the Netherworld in this world,
Empress Tu Wusheng has extremely high attainments in life and death. She can communicate with the way of heaven, can partially reshape the rules, and has the ability to independently extract the power of merit. The Netherworld is the best manifestation of her ability. This person is far away from breaking through the world, and also
It’s just one step away.”
"This kind of person will definitely prepare for breaking through the boundary. The accumulation of merit power is an indispensable part. In this place, you have obtained ghost money. You should understand that there is a trace of merit in it.
To gain the power of merit by destroying evil spirits and ghosts, and then the various arrangements here require the payment of ghost money as a medium. This is exactly the way Empress Houtu Wusheng changed the rules to accumulate the power of merit."
"Where do you think the accumulated merit will be stored?"
He said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuanqi narrowed his eyes slightly and understood what Ling meant.
The most likely place where the Hou Tu Wu Sheng Empress could store her power of merit was in the path of life and death that communicated with the source of the Netherworld.
I have to say that this hit his soft spot.
Now that he has broken through the innate realm, his own life energy has been exhausted. If he wants to move forward, he needs to exchange merit points for energy to save the accumulation process. With his current prototype of the power of chaos, the two "unbounded" and "returning to the void"
Judging from this characteristic, this number will be extremely large.
"Someone told me that if the road of life and death that connects the source of the netherworld is opened, the world will fall into irreversible disaster again."
Zhao Xuanqi said softly.
"If no one touches it, won't disaster happen? It's just a matter of time. Moreover, if someone really wants to open it, this is not the only opportunity. In comparison,
Let them succeed and you and I take action, I'm afraid it will be more measured, isn't it?"
"What's more, if you don't respond now, get the benefits you deserve, and quickly improve your strength, then your existence will be noticed by the Divine Court, which will be an extremely dangerous disaster for you."
Ling said with a smile.
"You also know about this?"
Zhao Xuanqi narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression and tone already a little unkind.
Buzz!
At this moment, green light bloomed from Ling's body again, completely covering the two of them, and even the surrounding dense fog was isolated by the green light.
Zhao Xuanqi's expression changed, and he realized that this legal world only had some powerful shielding effect, so he did not take action to stop it.
"Don't be nervous. I have nothing to do with them. We don't belong to the same faction. If my guess is correct, they should be the emperor's people."
Ling opened his mouth and said.
"Emperor?"
Zhao Xuanqi said doubtfully.
"Among the nine Taoist masters of the Divine Court, the Master of Incense Tao is said to be one of the earliest creators of the Divine Court and the pillar of the Divine Court. At the same time, he is also one of the leaders who advocates the elimination of the Infinite Tao."
Ling said.
"Why do people like this have such great malice toward Infinite Dao?"
Zhao Xuanqi frowned and asked the doubts in his heart.
"Because they believe that the infinite way is the source of all disasters."
Ling said softly.
Zhao Xuanqi frowned even more when he heard this. If he guessed correctly, the problem of Shenting should be related to the alien source. Why is it related to Infinite Dao now?
"You should have heard of the eight great paths of supernatural powers, strange doors, magic, divine martial arts, dexterity, wish power, heavenly control, and the underworld. They represent the eight great sources of this world. But in fact, although all the heavens and worlds are different,
, but the paths to the source of the path are actually different paths leading to the same destination. At this time, the eight sources of the path correspond to the eight most prosperous cultivation systems in the upper world."
"The most powerful person in each path, including the divine path, the formation path, the magic path, the divine martial arts path, the skillful path, the incense path, the spirit-controlling path, and the life and death path, is a Taoist master.
The organization is the Divine Court."
"For countless years, under the rule of the Divine Court, all heavens and realms have been in order, and the eight masters have always been at the top and have never fallen. Until a million years ago, a man broke through the realm. In just ten thousand years, he rose up and reached the top.
, whose force shook the Divine Court and conquered all realms, so there was a ninth Taoist master in the Divine Court."
"This is the infinite path you cultivate."
Ling whispered some secrets. Even though they were hidden by the Dharma Realm and told by means of sound transmission, she still did not dare to name the specific names of those powerful beings.
Hearing this, Zhao Xuanqi also felt a little shocked in his heart.
"But, what does this have to do with alien origin?"
Zhao Xuanqi asked again.
"Infinite Taoist Lord pursues the path beyond the limit. Even if he reaches the top, he will not stop. This is a good thing. The emergence of Infinite Tao has promoted the prosperity of practice in all realms in a short period of time, but in a hundred thousand years
Before, sudden changes occurred in all realms. First, the Infinite Taoist Master and the Shushu Taoist Master disappeared one after another, and then the Taoist Master of Life and Death mutated, and the chaos of alien origins began. All the evil gods came to the world, and all realms suffered huge disasters.
The extremely large Divine Court also suffered heavy losses during the war and fell apart. Due to different ideas, estrangements and disputes occurred between the various factions."
"Among them, magical power, ingenuity, incense, and Qimen form an alliance. The four Tao masters believe that the source of all disasters is related to the Infinite Tao. It is precisely because of the emergence of the Infinite Tao that it breaks the inherent rules and causes the world to change.
Changes caused the advent of evil gods. As long as the infinite way can be completely eliminated from all realms, chaos can be brought back to order and balance can be restored to all realms."
"So, once there is news about the Infinite Dao people, they will do everything possible to eliminate them. This is the karma you carry."
Ling slowly narrated.
Is that so?
Is it being pursued by the top faction in the Divine Court?
Hearing this, Zhao Xuanqi's expression became serious.
That kind of existence is unimaginably powerful and is indeed a huge disaster.
"You don't have to be too nervous. All realms have their own rules. Even powerful people like that can't go beyond the rules and attack you directly. However, the steady stream of pursuers can be foreseen, and those
They are probably all characters that you can hardly imagine. After all, who can stand out from all the worlds is a simple person?"
"In the battle just now, if one person escaped, it would be endless trouble. With your current strength, you are still unable to stand at the top of this world, so you should seize this opportunity."
Ling said.
"What about you? Which faction do you belong to?"
Zhao Xuanqi asked.
"Our Baihua Dao is a branch of the Dao of Life and Death. The master of the Dao of Life and Death has mutated, and our entire Dao of Life and Death has been affected. While dealing with the crisis, we also want to find out the truth. There was a time when we and
We had contact with the higher-ups of Infinite Dao and investigated the causes of the changes in the Taoist Master of Life and Death, as well as the disappearances of the Infinite Taoist Master and the Shushu Taoist Master. Later, the Infinite Taoist Encirclement and Suppression, and we broke off our cooperation."
"Don't worry, they and I are not in the same camp. Although everyone is not shouting and beating like your Infinite Taoists, my lineage is not welcome because of the matter of the master of life and death."
Ling said.
"What is the purpose of your coming to this world?"
Zhao Xuanqi continued to ask.
Ling did not continue to answer this question. He was silent for a while, and then sighed slightly and said: "The purposes of the descendants are different. Some are to find out the situation of the world so that the higher-ups can make subsequent arrangements. But I am a failure."
Because his original appearance was destroyed, he came to this world in search of a turning point."
"Is that so? I'm surprised that you answered the questions I asked so simply this time. Last time, you seemed to say that there were some things that I didn't know yet."
Zhao Xuanqi looked at Ling strangely and said.
"It was true at that time, but it is different now. You are not just a limit breaker. I don't know what exactly you are. In fact, I didn't think you could resist the karma of the infinite path before. You were discovered.
You will only die, but now I have changed my mind, and the reason is as simple as that."
"We can continue to work together and each get what we need."
Ling said frankly.
Zhao Xuanqi did not speak, but stared at her eyes for a long while, while Ling also looked at her calmly.
"We can cooperate. Anyway, if you have a problem, I have the ability to end you at any time."
Zhao Xuanqi said calmly.
"Then, I wish us a happy cooperation again."
Ling said with a smile.
"So, what are your plans?"
Zhao Xuanqi asked.
...
...
the other side.
The first seven people to enter, under the guidance of the soul flags, had already approached the Ghost King Palace.
Winter! Winter! Winter!
The melodious bell became clearer and clearer, and every time the bell rang, one could feel the surrounding dense fog shaking violently.
At the same time, the fog began to become noticeably thinner, no longer making it impossible to see.
The group of people could already clearly see the appearance of the Ghost King's Palace.
It was a majestic palace tens of meters high, with all kinds of lifelike and strange patterns carved all over it, full of the breath of time. Huge black chains spread from all sides into the Ghost King's Palace, seeming to restrain some terrifying things.
things.
In a radius of tens of meters around the palace, an earthy yellow light shield shrouded the palace. Within this range, the fog was completely inaccessible.
On the top of the hall, there is an illusory shadow of a big bell. The bell body is earthy yellow without any decorations. It looks very ordinary. Even the bronze bells in ordinary temples are more luxurious than it.
But the illusory bell kept ringing, supporting a large area, and the sound of the bell was so melodious that it could be heard even outside the realm.
Obviously, this illusory bell is not the real body. The real secret treasure should be in the palace.
Outside the hall, in the open space formed by the light mask, statues stand, divided into two rows. There are twenty-four statues in total. Some are holding steel whips, some are holding sickles, and some are holding soul-destroying rods. All the statues.
They all have ferocious faces and angry eyes, as if their gaze alone can scare away countless evil spirits.
This is a statue of a judge from the Netherworld. Although it does not have the strength of the judge itself, and because it is a projection, it cannot fully display its power, but it is still terrifying enough.
The seven of them did not know the specific identities and magical powers of these judges, but they could feel a strong sense of danger from these sculptures.
Obviously, these things are stumbling blocks on their way forward. Even if they have soul flags in their hands, they cannot get past these things and go straight into the palace.
The seven people stayed at the periphery of the mask one after another, stopping to watch, but no one made a move first.
I waited for about ten breaths.
brush!
Finally someone took the lead.
A sword light flashed, and a figure in white stood on the sword light, rushing towards the Ghost King's Palace. The speed reached the extreme, the surrounding fog was split open, two separate air waves appeared in the air, and the light of Yuan Qi was extremely blazing.
.
It is Li Changkong, the strongest Sky-Breaking Sword among the seven!
When everyone saw this, they were slightly shocked. They had already figured out Li Changkong's purpose. This guy wanted to use his sword control ability to ignore the statues with a short burst of sharpness and speed.
Rush directly into the palace and take away the secret treasure!
If this person really succeeds, then nothing will happen to anyone else.
The remaining six people looked tense, but among them, Li Changkong was the only one who had this ability. Others wanted to stop and imitate, but they really couldn't do it.
However, just when Li Changkong was about to fly over the statues with his sword, the clay statues suddenly moved.
Buzz!
In an instant, waves of power soared into the sky.
These statues are somewhat similar to the Nuo dance skills used by people in the Wu Kingdom at that time, and they all have a trace of the magical power of the original judge.
If it were just one statue, Li Changkong would not be afraid given his strength, but if more than twenty statues stimulated magical power at the same time, it would not be something that could be resisted simply by relying on speed and explosion.
Li Changkong's expression suddenly changed, and the sword under his body trembled for a while, and finally fell to the ground suddenly.
Then, many statues immediately surrounded him.
He relied on the power of the flying sword to forcefully break through the barrier, but unexpectedly, he accidentally fell into the siege of a group of statues.
"good chance!
"
When everyone saw this, their expressions lit up slightly.
Li Changkong missed a move and was besieged by the guardian statue. With one person, he attracted a lot of attention and created conditions for others to forcefully break through.
Suddenly, the remaining six people would not miss this opportunity. They took action at the same time, using their own methods, and rushed towards the palace gate.
And just when a group of experts began to compete for the secret treasure, two figures were hidden in the mist, quietly watching everything happen.
