Chapter 24: The Underworld
Xuan Ye didn't know who that person was, but since he was able to open up a land that connected the sky, he must be at least a quasi-Immortal Emperor. But judging from his behavior, he seemed to have some concerns, which was enough to show that he had not yet set foot in the Immortal Emperor realm.
Otherwise, it would not be as simple as just condensing the Dao symbol for him to see.
"I haven't dealt with a group of human supreme beings yet, and now he's involved with the quasi-immortal emperor. This is really speechless." Xuan Ye secretly complained in his heart.
Although he complained a lot, Xuan Ye still kept the Tongtian place in his heart. One day, he would go there in person to see what secrets were hidden there.
Before that, he needs to constantly improve his cultivation and hone his own Tao and Dharma. It would be best if he could become a mortal immortal or even break through to a higher realm before he is qualified to explore the truth.
In the following period of time, Xuan Ye had been experiencing the changes in himself, gradually emptying his mind, leaving the state of meditation, and soon entered into a state of spiritual practice, achieving unity of man and nature.
While Xuan Ye was practicing in seclusion, the outside world was also in a peaceful and harmonious scene with a thriving atmosphere.
If Xuan Ye had not appeared out of nowhere, the human world at this time would most likely have experienced a dark turmoil filled with endless blood and tears. Even the Jiang family's prince would have died in battle and perished together with the Forbidden Zone Supreme.
But now, everyone is alive and well, and one genius after another has entered the world to practice. The most outstanding group of people have almost caught up with the older generation of strong men.
Among them, a holy body and a congenital Taoist fetus are the most famous. The former is okay. After his physique is fully developed, he can challenge the emperor. But it is a pity for the latter. His time is too close to that of the Xuan Emperor. I am afraid that he will never be able to set foot in the emperor realm in his entire life.
On the other side, the Forbidden Zone Supremes who were threatened by Xuan Ye also lay dormant and fell into a deep sleep again, but there were always a few who looked like they were worried, such as Changsheng Tianzun and Xiaoyao Tianzun who went by the alias Yungeng.
Both of them were people who had lived from the mythological era to the present day, and naturally they had seen the Dark Lord who was both a teacher and a friend to the Emperor, and they had even discussed the Dao with each other. In the original historical trajectory, when Duan De went to the Taichu Ancient Mine, the two Heavenly Lords had not yet revived, so he had no chance to meet them.
Now, because of Xuan Ye's Taiyi Immortal Pill, many dormant supreme beings have awakened. In addition, the noise made by Xuan Ye throwing Wu Liang into the restricted area was too loud, so Changsheng Tianzun and Xiaoyao Tianzun both noticed this person, and they were inevitably excited.
The famous Lord of Hell, who was once famous throughout the starry sky, is still alive. After millions of years, he is still transforming in the human world and resurrecting from the dead!
How could this not make people feel terrified? After all, everyone knew the relationship between the Underworld Lord and the Emperor, and they had stabbed the Emperor in the back, causing the collapse of the supreme divine dynasty that had shocked the ancient world and completely disintegrated the mythological era.
Once Lord Ming returns to his peak and has insight into the past, who can guarantee that he will not start a war and settle accounts with other Lords?
You know, the Emperor at that time, after experiencing all kinds of calculations and attacks, was still able to fight back strongly, chase them to the heart of the restricted area, and kill several Supreme Beings, which caused a great shock to the emperors at that time.
The fighting power of Lord Ming is almost the same as that of Lord Emperor, not to mention that he has been baptized by millions of years, and his Taoism will only become more profound, which makes even the Supreme Lord tremble with fear!
"As for now, perhaps we should make plans early." Changsheng Tianzun made a secret decision.
"Alas, I really don't know why Lord Ming's fortune is always so prosperous. He had a close relationship with Lord Emperor before, and later became a close friend of Emperor Xuan." He sighed quietly, and then began to transmit a message to a certain existence.
Of course, this kind of thing cannot be done alone, we need to bring in some allies!
At the same time, the underworld.
This is an extremely vast underworld, with desolate stars hanging in the sky, and the air is filled with death, like a kingdom of death. The black land is boundless. Endless ghost soldiers are lined up and walk in this land of death. There are often rivers of blood flowing on the ground, and there are countless coffins and corpses lying around.
Not far away, one ancient stone tablet after another stood, all of which recorded the past glory of the underworld and the battle achievements of successive masters, including the Lord of the Underworld and the Lord of Eternal Life.
Further ahead is a magnificent palace complex, including the Palace of the Underworld, the Palace of the Prison, the Palace of Yama, the Palace of the Corpse King, etc. Each palace is guarded by a supreme-level person or weapon, which is no less than the major life forbidden areas on Beidou.
On this day, powerful auras suddenly emanated from the usually silent ancestral halls. It was the aura emanating from the Supreme Being, which made all the creatures in the underworld, whether they were quasi-emperor-level war servants or the masters of various veins, feel terrified.
If there were no imperial magic formation covering this place and protecting them, they would have been crushed into dust and their souls would have died here.
"Has Lord Ming returned to the world again?!" The Prison Emperor received the message from Lord Changsheng and couldn't help but exclaimed. In the other ancestral halls, Emperor Yanluo, Emperor Shi, and Tongtian Mingbao were also worried.
This one sentence alone was enough to explain everything. They were terrified of the return of Hades, afraid that he would settle accounts with them and take back everything that belonged to them.
In fact, as early as the ancient times millions of years ago, the gods in the underworld had sensed his breath and knew that he had resurrected and did not pass away as rumored.
Now, this news has been confirmed by Changsheng Tianzun, and they must be adequately prepared.
"The Underworld Emperor is a man of extraordinary talent, and he inspires great fear in people's hearts. In order to achieve immortality, he has been comprehending the Seal of Reincarnation, trying to carve out a path to immortality between life and death. No one has gone further than him, not even the Emperor. Sooner or later, he will come back." The Prison Emperor said in a deep voice, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
"In your opinion, how should we respond?" King Yama asked slowly. Tongtian Mingbao and Emperor Shi were also waiting for the answer from King Zhenyu.
“Now, Lord Ming is still in the process of transformation, and his cultivation is no longer at its peak. Perhaps we can kill him before he fully awakens and eliminate the trouble forever!” The Prison Emperor was murderous and his tone was grim.
"But what about Emperor Xuan? It is said that the fighting power of this great emperor of the world is no less than that of the Emperor!" The Corpse King also spoke, pointing out the biggest obstacle to their actions.
"Then find him an opponent. If a living person doesn't work, then what about a dead person? The last thing the underworld lacks is ancient corpses!"
Soon, all the deities in the underworld reached a consensus and issued orders to the masters of each vein, sending out countless ghost soldiers and generals to search in the major life star fields, both for the sake of the Lord of the Underworld and to collect various sacred bloods.
