Chapter 0484: Heavenly Court's Artificial Underworld
The barren mountain overgrown with thorny shrubs is interesting.
After getting closer, Su Qi found that the shrubs on this mountain turned out to be one, with only one rhizome, rooted on the top of the mountain, and countless branches grew from the roots, climbing around, covering the entire barren mountain like a drape, and the small yellow flowers on the top of the mountain also bloomed from it.
There is a black land behind the mountain, not big, only about half a mile in a radius, hidden in the shadow of the barren mountain, the crystal black is incompatible with the pale yellow yellow sand around, and exudes a very light corpse gas, this smell is buried by the wind and sand of this world, it looks very inconspicuous, there are several spiritual grasses growing in the black soil, and there are obvious cutting marks on the stems and leaves, which is the dead soul flower.
Anya stood outside the black soil, not daring to trespass, staring at the black soil on the ground, staring at it for a long time before she said with certainty, "This is the underworld." ”
"Underworld, which underworld?" Su Qi raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, in the human world, the underworld is synonymous with the underworld, and standing side by side with the Yellow Spring, it is the only way to the underworld.
"It's not really the underworld," the sao bao man seemed to guess Su Qi's thoughts, he touched his chin, "To be precise, this is more like a man-made underworld." ”
Su Qi opened his mouth wide, "The underworld can also be artificial?"
"Yes," Anya nodded, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes, "but I've heard Amma say that this process is very cruel......."
"The Noi clan actually knows this? It is worthy of being an ancient race on the boundary road, although it is weak year by year, but it is also very remarkable, at least the inheritance is not bad," the sao bao man laughed hesitantly, comparing his fingers, looking very knowledgeable," That's right, this process is quite cruel, in addition to burying a large number of fresh corpses in the soil, but also to detain the souls of these corpses in this land, with secret techniques to nourish this soil with corpses and souls, at least after 10,000 years to form the underworld, in this process, these people's souls have to endure great pain every day, until they are completely absorbed by the soil, which can be called one of the most evil Taoism in the world. ”
"Then who did it here...... Su Qi looked at the black soil in front of him, although this land is not big, but if it is full of corpses, at least 100,000, this is an extremely terrifying thing.
"The people buried under this should be you and my ancestors, as for who did it....... I can only guess that it's Heavenly Court. The sassy man stared at Su Qi with a grin, a smug expression on his face that your disguise had no effect on me.
But Su Qi had also expected that the other party would be able to recognize the Eight Desolation Sword, and most of them would also recognize his identity, he casually tore off the veil on his head and glanced at the sao bao man, "Do you know where I come from?"
"Although there are not many people in the boundary road, there are also good ones, there is a half-emperor in the holy domain who is a sword cultivator, and there are actually two small tribes in the barbarians who like to use swords very much, but they hide in the remote areas of the boundary road, and they have never been involved in these things in the boundary road...... So others may not be able to guess your identity, but who am I? I am the heir of the Ancient Palace," the man squeezed his eyebrows, "On the barbarians...... Ah, you may be more accustomed to the name Terran, when it comes to the secrets of the Terran, if I say that I know the second most, no one will dare to say the first. ”
"But I'm also surprised that the gate of the Pure Metaverse has opened. Sao Bao Nan touched his chin as if he was thoughtful, "There is really something big going to happen on the boundary road." ”
"Why did Heavenly Court create the Underworld?" Su Qi snorted lightly, standing in front of this Underworld, the corpse qi seemed to become clearer and clearer, and the smell was really disgusting.
The man shook his index finger, "It's not fair, one question per person." ”
"Don't worry, if I ask you a difficult question, you don't have to answer it. The sassy man quickly added again.
Su Qi thought for a while, "Okay, you answer first." ”
"Yes!" Sao Bao Nan looked at Su Qi, "Have you heard of it in the Eternal Life Realm?"
"Hmm. ”
"That's easy to explain," Sao Baonan turned his head, he gestured back and forth on the black earth with one hand, as if he was measuring something, "The Eternal Realm, with the name of Heavenly Court, is also the Underworld, the two are considered old enemies, and they have fought for countless years, although Heavenly Court has a slight upper hand, but there is no way to destroy the Underworld, and it is said that in the ancient war, a giant of Heavenly Court fell into the Underworld, and Heavenly Court has always wanted to rescue this giant, so it has been thinking about how to defeat the Underworld." ”
In the legends of the human race, the underworld is the world of the dead, the underworld, the place where the waters of the Yellow Spring River ripple, and the world where the souls of all living beings live after they die. ”
"Heavenly Court is the opposite, the world of Heavenly Court contains endless vitality, and their people live a long life, which is why they call themselves immortals...... The underworld is to them, which is no different from water to fire, and darkness to light, the two are fundamentally opposed, which also causes the people of Heavenly Court to be unable to step into the Eternal Life Realm at all, and the stronger the Heavenly Court monks, because the stronger the vitality, the greater the impact after stepping into the Eternal Life Realm, resulting in the inability to enter the Eternal Life Realm at all, which means that it is impossible to rescue the giant, so in the end Heavenly Court came up with a stupid solution. ”
Sao Bao Nan turned his head and winked at Su Qi, "That is to create a piece of underworld, and cultivate a group of Heavenly Court cultivators with death qi in their bodies on this underworld, so as to infiltrate the immortal realm and rescue that giant." ”
Su Qi and Anya looked at each other.
"This ...... Can this really cultivate a monk with death in his body?" Anya looked skeptical, "If it's true, why did they leave this underworld here?"
"Of course," the man smiled, glancing back at the desert behind him, "As for why I stayed here, I think something probably happened to make this underworld abandoned......
"Change?" Su Qi was shocked in his heart, could it be that the overhaul of the Cicada clan was not only guarding the sacrificial temple, but also guarding this underworld?
"Found it!" Sao Bao Nan put away his hands, overjoyed, "There are six corpse blood crystals down here, which is really worthy of the underworld, which is much more than other dead places." ”
As he spoke, a glimmer of light appeared on the man's right hand, and a small bronze box emerged, which slowly opened, stretching out a huge black hand, like some kind of trick, and it stiffened into the air, as if it was about to lift something.
"Alas, this idiot. ”
The swarthy man muttered, slapped his left hand on the box, and the huge black hand shook suddenly, scratched twice in the air in a daze, and then fell down suddenly, causing the sao bag man to stumble a little, and scolded in his mouth, "Slow down, you idiot!"
The giant hand seemed to understand his words, and began to slowly insert into the underworld, groping for something in the soil, and after a while, it slowly pulled out, grasping a dark red crystal the size of a human head in the palm of his hand, and the moment the crystal was revealed, a fishy smell wafted out.
