Chapter 263 Authentic
As for why he wanted to go to the underworld, it was because Jia Hu vaguely felt that there was a terrifying force lurking in the underworld.

At first, he was still a quasi-saint and did not dare to touch it, but now he is a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, so naturally he has to go and take a look.

The underworld must be hiding some big secret, which aroused his curiosity.

In the underworld, Jia Hu appeared silently in front of Hou Tu's bronze gate.

"You're here?" Hou Tu's surprised voice came from inside.

The bronze door opened automatically, and Houyi was not guarding here.

Jia Hu hesitated for a moment and walked in.

The environment inside is still the same as before, with Hou Tu's figure sitting on the cloud bed above.

"Huh? Your cultivation? Have you become a saint?" Hou Tu didn't care at first, but when she saw Jia Hu, she stood up in shock.

Jia Hu pointed his finger, and a cloud bed rose up. He looked at Hou Tu and nodded, saying, "It's not a saint, it's a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian."

"Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian? What is that?" Houtu looked confused.

Jia Hu felt helpless and had to explain it again.

Hou Tu's expression kept changing. This was a great shock to her. Although she had known that Hongjun had bad intentions, she did not expect that he had concealed so many things.

What does he want to do and what conspiracy does he have? It's really scary to think about it.

Jia Hu just looked at Hou Tu quietly without saying anything.

After a long time, Hou Tu came back to her senses and couldn't help but sigh, "It turns out there is another way."

Then she looked at Jia Hu seriously again, "So what are you doing here?"

She knew that Jia Hu must have something to ask her, but she didn't know what it was.

Jia Hu said slowly, "Where is your real body?"

Hou Tu's face changed slightly, and then she was relieved. Jia Hu was a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, so it was normal for him to see that he was not his original body.

"Do you really want to know?" Hou Tu's face turned serious.

Jia Hu frowned slightly, but finally nodded and said, "I want to know."

Hou Tu's eyes flashed, "I can tell you, but you have to agree to one condition of mine."

Jia Hu was stunned. "What conditions?"

Hou Tu smiled and said, "Nothing, I just want Xuan Ming to follow you."

Jia Hu was even more confused, "Follow me? Why?"

Hou Tu shook her head helplessly. She could see that this man was a blockhead. "Aren't you the Golden Immortal of the Great Luo? If you can give Xuan Ming some guidance, it will be very useful to her, and it can also protect her."

Jia Hu suddenly realized that this was the case. Then he thought of Xuan Ming's care for him when he was injured, and nodded and said, "Okay, I agree."

Hou Tu smiled and said, "Then I will tell you, my real body is awakening the tunnel. Do you know what the tunnel is?"

After saying this, she looked at Jia Hu with a puzzled expression.

Jia Hu was stunned. "I know."

Hou Tu laughed, "You really do know."

Jia Hu raised his eyebrows, "What happened to the tunnel?"

Hou Tu's face became solemn. "When I was reincarnated, I felt that something was about to wake up, but I don't know why, and then there was no movement. So I carefully investigated and found the dormant tunnel." Jia Hu's eyes flashed, "Do you think it was the work of Hongjun or the Heavenly Dao? You have to know that a complete world has the Heavenly Dao, the Earthly Dao, and the Human Dao, and the three paths coexist. The current three realms are obviously abnormal."

Hou Tu looked at Jia Hu in astonishment. "I didn't expect you to know so much. You are right. Not only is the earth asleep, but the human way is also asleep. Only the heavenly way exists in the three realms. This is why this world is constantly declining."

At this point, her eyes were gloomy. "As for who is plotting this, I don't know. I only know that if this continues, the world will be destroyed."

She looked at Jia Hu and said, "That's why I tried my best to awaken the tunnel. Unfortunately, after so much effort, there is no improvement at all."

There was sadness in her eyes. "This is the world created by Father God. I cannot let this world be destroyed."

Jia Hu frowned. He certainly didn't want this world to be destroyed. After all, although the world of Red Mansions had become the big world, he didn't want to wander alone in the chaos in his inner world.

I haven't transcended yet, so who knows if I will be destroyed along with the destruction of the universe.

Jia Hu suddenly asked, "Can I go and see the tunnel?"

Hou Tu was stunned and hesitated, thinking of Jia Hu's strength. What if he had a solution?
He nodded immediately and said, "Okay."

Then Hou Tu took Jia Hu to a mysterious space.

Jia Hu immediately felt the presence of a terrifying being below.

Hou Tu saw him lower his head and said, "It seems that you have sensed it. Yes, the tunnel is underneath."

"Buzz" the space fluctuated, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of Jia Hu.

Hou Tu also turned into light and merged into this person's body. The one who came was the real Hou Tu.

Jia Hu said solemnly, "You are indeed a saint."

Hou Tu smiled and said, "Yes, I did become a saint after reincarnation." Then she sighed, "But it's useless. I am completely trapped in the underworld."

Jia Hu frowned and asked, "Did Hongjun trap you?"

Hou Tu shook her head and said, "No, it's the tunnel. Because the tunnel is asleep, I took over the tunnel to suppress the underworld. If I leave the underworld, it will collapse."

Jia Hu suddenly realized that this was the case. He said, why can't Hou Tu leave the underworld? Even if there is Hongjun's ban, it would be strange if the ancestor witch is obedient given his lawlessness. He might even rather destroy the underworld than listen to Hongjun's orders.

But if it leaves the underworld, it will be destroyed, and Hou Tu will definitely not leave the underworld.

One is forced, the other is voluntary, so they are naturally different.

Jia Hu released his spiritual sense and observed the tunnel carefully. It was indeed dormant. He even felt that the power of the tunnel was gradually weakening.

He couldn't help but look up in surprise. "The tunnel is deteriorating."

Hou Tu smiled bitterly and said, "That's right, the tunnel might be destroyed at any time." There was deep worry in her eyes.

Jia Hu's eyes flickered, and suddenly he looked at Hou Tu, "I do have a way to make the tunnel appear."

"What? Really?" Hou Tu excitedly appeared beside Jia Hu and grabbed his hand.

Jia Hu was startled and pulled his hand away awkwardly. "Ahem, well, there is indeed a way, but the method is a little special, I'm afraid you won't agree to it."

Hou Tu then realized that she was too excited, her ears turned red, and she quickly put down her hand.

Then he hurriedly said, "Whatever method is used, as long as the tunnel can be preserved, we can do it."

Are you kidding me? She is going crazy with anxiety, okay? If the tunnel is destroyed, the underworld might be gone. After all, the tunnel is the foundation of the underworld. She can only temporarily replace it. She can't carry the entire underworld.

Jia Hu said slowly, "My method is very simple. I have a way to completely devour the entire tunnel and replace it, but the price is that the tunnel will be completely under my control."
