Chapter 422: Ten Key Secret Locks
This creates a rather eerie scene.
The rows of figures close to sky blue were the souls of fallen immortal cultivators.
Then on the front and back of them were the immortal cultivators of the Netherworld, who were responsible for "driving" them forward.
Passing through the dock, following them all the way into the city, Xu Mochen and the others saw these souls and were driven to a stone tablet.
When a spirit approached, the stele lit up with color.
Immortal cultivators in different realms have different colors lit up to distinguish them.
There are many stone tablets that identify souls in this way, and the reason is that many immortal cultivators fall every day in the entire Ten Directions World.
Without him, immortal cultivators are either looking for the secret realm of immortals, or looking for heavenly treasures, or involuting and fighting, and rushing on the road of death every day.
"Actually, I think so," Xu Mochen couldn't help but sigh, "Even if there is no calamity, it will be very difficult for this group of people to reach the pinnacle."
Not every immortal cultivator has the qualifications to ascend.
Tang Derun had no choice but to echo: "Not to mention the Ten Directions World, just in the Demon Beast Realm where Weichen is located, the law of the jungle is the norm at all.
The Netherworld has jurisdiction over the handling of the ten worlds after death, so it is naturally very busy."
However, seeing that they have an orderly division of labor, they should be able to cope with it.
After the soul is identified, it is sent to the halls of various realms, where it is processed, and finally goes to the Chaos Sea to merge the Heavenly Dao.
Everything is in order, and there is nothing out of the ordinary.
Tang Derun asked: "Your Majesty, we don't know where the people from the underworld are, so what about the words of these ten halls......
"Don't worry," Xu Mochen waved his hand, "I think that the people of the underworld will definitely notice my whereabouts.
Let's stay here first, someone should come and meet later."
When he said this, Tang Derun had no choice but to comply.
The two of them are now using shape-changing magic powers, coupled with Shen Zhining's silhouette, they look no different from the immortal cultivators in the Netherworld here.
The immortal cultivators here look like they have appearances, but they are actually the likes of Yuanying Yuanshen.
However, just the primordial infant primordial gods will appear more fragile, so they still rely on the "shell".
Most of the shells are dolls and the like, blessed by supernatural powers, and the past is vivid.
The two found an inn to stay, but since they didn't have any money and didn't need any items, they didn't go to the market.
The currency form of the Ten Directions World is the same, but this time Xu Mochen does not plan to trade with the Immortal Yuan Pill again.
The goal is too big to lose, not to mention that he has already been targeted.
Strictly speaking, there are no evenings here, but there are also breaks here.
Sure enough, a loud bell rang outside, and the guy at the inn reminded everyone to pay attention to the curfew.
Looking out the window, it was already pitch black.
There were basically no lights, and not long after the bell rang, the lights went out throughout the city.
There were occasional sparks floating in the air, and Xu Mochen estimated that he should be a patrolling immortal cultivator.
He was in a good state of mind, sitting cross-legged on the bed, his mind spreading, and he firmly locked the space in the room.
About two hours later, suddenly there was a sound of falling leaves outside, followed by his divine consciousness rippling slightly, and someone came.
The person who came obviously knew that Xu Mochen was prepared, so he only made slight contact with his divine sense, but he did not break through.
Xu Mochen was very satisfied, and he withdrew his divine sense: "Since you're here, why don't you come in and see it."
There was silence outside the window for a moment, and then a voice rang out, with a very respectful attitude: "Don't dare!
Under the command of the Immortal Hall of the Lower Ten Palaces, I have come to greet His Majesty the Great Emperor Qian."
is so accurate, it seems that it should be the person Xu Mochen is looking for.
He signaled Tang Derun, and the two jumped out almost simultaneously and landed on the roof.
But seeing that a small shielded space had been laid around him, a man in black stood in front of him, and after saluting, he opened the door: "Your Majesty,
Time is tight, so please hurry up."
At this time, he was naturally not stupid enough to calculate, Xu Mochen waved his hand: "Then there will be a noble envoy."
The man in black stepped back and waved it out, only to see a cloud of talismans spread out to form something like a flying carpet.
Xu Mochen and the two stepped on, only to find that there was a small enchantment inside.
The man in black explained slightly: "This is specially arranged by the hall master, the eyeliner here is too miscellaneous, please forgive the sin."
As a result of the transition shielding, outsiders can't find themselves, but they can't see the outside either.
I just started to move, and the speed was relatively fast.
Moyo flew for half an hour, and the Flying Carpet stopped.
The man in black spread out the enchantment, and Xu Mochen and the two found themselves in the courtyard of a temple.
In the courtyard, in addition to flowers and plants, there is only a pair of stone tables and chairs.
There was already a young man standing, and when he saw Xu Mochen coming, he smiled and said, "I have admired Xu Tianzi's demeanor for a long time, and I am fortunate to be able to meet today.
I am Chu Jiang, the hall master of the Ten Palaces of the Immortal Hero Palace."
Of course, Xu Mochen also said a few polite words, what a long admittance or something.
"Actually, it's not the first time I've seen Xu Tianzi," Chu Jiang waved his hand to signal to take a seat, "When Huangquan was hidden, I followed Meng Jiangnu and met the Son of Heaven just a little bit."
It was such a topic at the beginning, Xu Mochen couldn't help but stare at it, could it be that this person was also an immortal of the Covenant of the Ten Generations, and he came from Lanxing.
Xu is knowing, Chu Jiang smiled and concocted tea: "The Son of Heaven doesn't need to think about it, Meng Jiangnu and I have a bit of karma, we can be regarded as friends, but we are not the same kind."
This is to separate himself from the covenant of the tenth world, Xu Mochen knows in his heart: "That hall master should be a person from the underworld."
"No," Chu Jiang shook his head, "but some of the purposes are the same.
For example, Xu Tianzi wanted to enter the underworld for the sake of the golden body.
And I want to enter the underworld in order to pass on the covenant."
This is a bit of a big topic, Xu Mochen frowned: "Inheritance agreement? What do you mean by that?"
"It was left over from the previous generation of Xianxia Hall Masters," Chu Jiang did not hide it, "Since I am the hall master of this generation, I naturally have to contribute."
Xu Mochen recognized this reason: "Can the hall master tell me some details of the underworld."
"Of course you can," Chu Jiang came to him, and this is the purpose, "In the case of the underworld, it was originally a part of the underworld, specializing in dealing with the souls of immortal cultivators.
Later, I don't know what the underworld discovered, or maybe they went for that purpose in the first place, and after all, the two sides had a conflict.
Therefore the underworld closes the entrance to them, and it is difficult for those in the underworld to enter."
Xu Mochen nodded: "It's equivalent to saying that what you want in the underworld is locked in the underworld.
The hall master knows what it is."
Chu Jiang bowed: "If you want to go into detail, because it is an inheritance, I don't know what it has become now.
Does the Son of Heaven know the art of Gu cultivation?"
"Gu raising?" Xu Mochen and Tang Derun glanced at each other, "In the mortal world, there are witchcraft and the like."
Tang Derun added, "Your Majesty, some of the methods of the Netherworld, such as the mutual devouring of souls, are similar."
"That's right," Chu Jiang handed the two of them tea, "According to the records, what the group of immortal cultivators in the underworld did back then was to raise Gu for immortal cultivators.
Simply put, gather these souls and let them devour each other, leaving the last one."
Xu Mochen was surprised: "It's not that those souls are just remnant souls, it is difficult to have any means, and they can still follow the command and devour each other."
"The underworld naturally has their own methods," Chu Jiang sneered, "But these are all processes, and most importantly, their purpose is to study a magical power called 'Whale Devouring Cicada Transformation.'"
This is the first time Xu Mochen has heard this: "Whale swallowing cicadas?"
"Whale Swallowing Cicada Transformation," Chu Jiangzhong
"It is said that cultivating this divine skill, as the name suggests, can continue to devour and transform, and use this method to avoid the three thousand years of Silence Tribulation."
"Has anyone succeeded?" Xu Mochen asked.
"I don't know," Chu Jiang shook his head, "It doesn't seem to be, or this magic skill, maybe only half of it was studied at the beginning, and then the underworld and the underworld were isolated."
Xu Mochen suddenly realized: "The underworld wants to open the passage for this exercise."
"I think that the Taiyin Heavenly Son may be cultivating," Chu Jiang's face was solemn, "It's just that they don't have a complete exercise, and the time for this generation's Silent Annihilation Tribulation is approaching, so they are in a hurry."
"I thought their purpose was also the Golden Body." Xu Mochen shook his head, "The result is still to avoid the Silent Annihilation Tribulation.
In that case, is the underworld still secretly cultivating Gu Devouring?"
Chu Jiang nodded slightly: "Naturally, there is no evidence at present.
After the isolation of the underworld back then, there was almost no trace of the immortal cultivators of the underworld in the past tens of thousands of years.
Strange words, the soul of the immortal cultivator who also dissolved the soul also disappeared.
The explanation given to the world of the ten directions by the underworld is that the immortal cultivators of the underworld take it all away with special means.
Therefore, Heavenly Court's attitude has always been eyeing the underworld.
It's hard to say that behind this matter, there is no handwriting from the people of Heavenly Court."
Xu Mochen picked up the teacup: "Because there is no one to refute, this pot is destined to be carried by the underworld.
It seems that there are people in the Heavenly Court who want this divine skill."
"I don't know who it is," Chu Jiang smiled bitterly, "After all, we can't live forever, so from generation to generation, it's actually getting more and more difficult to turn the tables."
"If I say so, what they value should be the Dao Immortal behind me," Xu Mochen also smiled, "This group of people is very calculating, even the opponents of the Tenth Covenant want to use it."
"As long as the benefits are high enough, someone will dare to do it," Chu Jiang sneered, "Compared to their immortality, the covenant of the tenth life is naturally more important than their own affairs."
"No matter what, I'm going to go to the underworld," Xu Mochen also spoke directly about his plan, "I want a golden body.
The underworld also knows that sooner or later I will know about it, which is why I have this invitation."
"Well," Chu Jiang nodded, "Don't hide it from the Son of Heaven, I am also inclined to His Majesty's ability to rediscover the passage of the underworld.
We have passed it on to this day, in order to put an end to this stupid experiment."
"It seems that the soul devouring that is being secretly carried out in the underworld now, the hall master should have been in contact with it." Xu Mochen looked into his eyes and asked.
Chu Jiang did not evade: "Back in vain, I went to the city in secret.
Now that the underworld is out of the water, they are more careful, so His Majesty was in the City of the Dead not long ago, and naturally they can't see anything."
This was expected by Xu Mochen: "Then now, where have they moved?"
"In the Land of the Nine Secluded Places," Chu Jiang pointed to his feet, "I am the Hall Master of the Ten Palaces, and I still have the authority.
I have looked at all the other places in the underworld where I can go, and I have found nothing."
"There is no other place, and the facts must be speculated," Xu Mochen continued, "That is in a place that has not been checked."
"The Land of the Nine Shadows is below the Ten Palaces," Chu Jiang said and took out a key, "If you want to enter the Land of the Nine Shadows, you need to collect the 'Ten Key Secret Locks.'"
Xu Mochen took it, this key was cold in his hand, not ordinary metal, and there was a faint formation inside: "This is one of them?"
"The Ten Key Secret Locks are each in the hands of the Ten Hall Masters," Chu Jiang continued to explain, "Once you have all together, enter the entrance of the Nine Shadows Land and use it to open the gate."
"Tsk!" Xu Mochen took a breath of cold air, "So, I still have to get ten keys first."
Chu Jiang also smiled: "That's nature.
Ten keys and ten people are in charge, which is said to be safer......
"Actually, it's the entrance to the Nine Secluded Lands, and ordinary people can't get in," Xu Mochen thought
After thinking about it, "Then in that case, how did they get the soul of the Immortal Cultivator and send it to the Nine Shadows Land?"
"Xu Tianzi is really talented and intelligent," Chu Jiang stretched out his thumb, "I can see through the key at a glance.
We also think that there is another passage, but it is not found in Hades."
Xu Mochen put away the key: "This underworld is very interesting, I can't find the passage of a place of nine seclusions.
I can't find another underworld, it's like a labyrinth."
"That's the case," Chu Jiang said clearly about the cause and effect, "Among the ten halls, those are people from the underworld, whether there are people from the underworld or not, the Son of Heaven needs to pay attention."
"I'm going to be a gentleman on the beam," Xu Mochen sighed, "Where can I take care of so much."
I mean, just collect the key as quickly as possible.
This thing, usually where you put it."
"Naturally, it is carried with you, or placed in a concealed formation," Chu Jiang spread his hands, "So Your Majesty ......"
If you have it, you have to directly confront the other nine hall masters.
But this trip was not in vain, he learned more information.
The underworld is in a hurry at the moment, because the calamity of silence is coming.
What they want is the full version of the Whale Devouring Cicada Transformation.
So the question is, how can the underworld be sure that the underworld has been studied?
Or is it just that a blind cat encounters a dead mouse, fighting with the last hope.
But no matter what, Xu Mochen discovered an important problem, that is, the immortal cultivators of the Netherworld were not united. net
Not only is it not united, but it has divided many forces.
It stands to reason that there should not be so many differences within a domain.
When it comes to racial differences, there are actually more races in the Demon Beast Realm.
But when Xu Mochen was in the demon beast world, he didn't see the crooked doorway.
This Netherworld simply refreshed his cognition.
