Choose a day to soar

Xu Ying looked at the old man. The old man was holding a green lantern, the light was dim, and the smile on his face was a little stiff. He shouldn't be good at dealing with people.

"Thank you for your help, senior." Xu Yingqing said sincerely.

The old man was a little embarrassed and said calmly: "Help is actually a good cause..."

Xu Ying blinked, feeling a little confused, wondering what the good deeds he kept saying meant.

Seeing that he still didn't understand, the old man stopped talking and went up the mountain with a green lantern. Xu Ying followed him and saw that Fengdu Mountain was extremely majestic, standing among the stars in the underworld.

Whenever the sea water of the Underworld hits Fengdu, stars will rise from the sea, getting bigger and bigger, and float around Fengdu.

The stars are star souls, and there are countless ghosts living on them. When the ghosts are washed away by the Nai River, they will be distributed to each star soul, where they can live and enjoy the rest of their lives after death.

Xu Ying noticed that many water droplets rose up from those star souls, like rain, but they did not fall into the stars. Instead, they continued to rise, fly out of the stars, and fall into the underworld.

"Those ghosts forgotten by their relatives and friends will gradually drift away and turn into water drops in the sea of ​​​​underworld. Their immortal true spirits will condense together to form a spiritual root that connects heaven and earth. This spiritual root is Fengdu."

The old man used a green lantern to illuminate the wet mountain road. It was very slippery and cold here. When walking on the mountain road, shiny footprints would appear every time he stepped on it.

Xu Ying noticed that these footprints were the auras left by the ghosts after they dispersed.

"When a person dies, his body is destroyed, and when a ghost dies, he is forgotten. No matter who he is, sooner or later he will be forgotten. When the willpower that binds the soul dissipates, the soul will drift away. Those ghosts will eventually turn into the water of the underworld. , the stones of Fengdu Mountain become the spiritual roots of heaven and earth.”

The old man's voice came, and the oil lamp was a little rusty and creaked.

Xu Ying climbed with him. He had seen the spiritual roots of heaven and earth. For example, there was one in Taiyi Xiaoxuantian. That spiritual root was a pair of yin and yang vines that took root in Taiyi Xiaoxuantian and connected all the worlds.

Fengdu Mountain is also the spiritual root of heaven and earth, rooted in the sea of ​​​​underworld. The top of the mountain stands straight into the dark sky. I don’t know where the other end is inserted into the world.

Xu Ying followed him to the top of the mountain without knowing it. Looking around, there were dilapidated buildings, collapsed temples, and smashed statues everywhere.

A terrible war once occurred here, and there are fragments of fairy weapons inserted in the ancient ruins. They are glowing with rays of light, extremely charming, but full of danger.

Around the fragments of the immortal artifact, flesh and blood were growing, and earthworm-like tentacles grew in all directions, eroding outwards.

Looking in the direction where the fragments came from, there was still some faint light falling in the sky. That light was the glow of the fairy weapon penetrating the world, the glow of another world.

Xu Ying walked in front of a collapsed statue. The head of the statue was as huge as a mountain peak, and the streamers were like long rivers, and the incense in them was still flowing.

There are many similar statues on Fengdu Mountain.

Only then did Xu Ying notice that the old man's legs were lame and limping. He had not noticed before when he went up the mountain, but now that he was walking on the flat ground, the old man's legs and feet were inconvenient and became apparent.

The old man held a clear oil lamp in front to dispel the darkness nearby.

There are some sneaky creatures in the darkness, whose appearance is unknown, and they appear and disappear in the ruins. They are full of malicious intentions, but they are driven away by the light.

The old man took him to an incomplete palace and led him inside.

There was a trickling river in this palace, filled with light and water. The water came from nowhere. After a while, a jade coffin floated in the river.

There is a person lying on his back in the coffin, with his hands on his chest, as if he is alive.

His chest was hit by a sword, and the phantom of the fairy sword was still imprinted on the wound, shaking slightly, and the illusion disappeared.

Xu Ying was slightly startled when he saw the phantom of the fairy sword: "This fairy sword is somewhat similar to the sword technique contained in the sword technique of returning to the truth!"

He had already comprehended the Four-Word Immortal Technique in the Sword Dao Guizhen Jue, and had a profound understanding of the Sword Dao. When he saw the imprint of the Immortal Sword on the chest of the god in the coffin, he immediately realized that there must be a connection between the two!

However, the secret of returning to the truth of swordsmanship is carved on the cliff of Sword Gate in Shushan Mountain. It was exactly when the first generation founder saw the secret skill on the cliff, he understood it, and became a swordsman.

Who left the swordsmanship return-to-truth formula on the cliff? The first generation ancestor did not leave any records in this regard.

Now, Xu Ying felt that he might have found the source of the Sword Art Returning to True Truth!

Because the Immortal Sword Brand inserted into the chest of the god in the coffin comes from the same source as the Sword Dao Returning to True Secret, and it is even more profound than the sword Dao recorded in the Sword Dao Returning to True Secret!

"Fellow Taoist Xu, I wish you a good fortune."

The old man put down the oil lamp, took out a dry bamboo slip, and brought it to Xu Ying.

Xu Ying looked at it and saw fortune-telling lines on the bamboo slips, which read: "The stars in the underworld are in chaos, and the Kun fish jumps into the sea. There is a dark fire on the other side, and good luck will come."

Xu Ying was so surprised that he held the bamboo slip and asked, "Where does this come from?"

The old man said: "There is Penglai Fairy Mountain in the sea of ​​​​underworld, and there is a goddess on the mountain who is good at fortune-telling and made a fortune for me. The meaning of the hexagram is that there are stars in chaos over the sea of ​​​​underworld, kun fish jump out of the water, the underworld fire on the other side is burning, and good people The fate has arrived."

He looked at Xu Ying eagerly and said, "Fellow Taoist Xu, let's make a good relationship."

Xu Ying looked at him and then at the jade coffin in the water. Thinking of the good deeds he always mentioned, he suddenly understood and said with a smile, "Why didn't you tell me earlier, fellow Taoist?"

He took out a jade bottle, which was only as high as a palm, and contained the fairy water from Yaochi.

The old man was so happy that he quickly took the jade bottle, opened it, put it under his nose and smelled it. He hurriedly opened the jade coffin and brought the water from the Jade Pool to the mouth of the man in the coffin.

The person in the coffin was a man, about forty or fifty years old, somewhat similar to the old man.

He wears a purple imperial crown on his head. The shape of the crown is extremely complex, like an altar or a shrine. There is incense burning in the coffin to keep the incense burning.

The old man hesitated for a moment, looked up at the sky, and then looked at the other side of the Underworld Sea, showing a worried look.

Seeing him opening his mouth to speak, Xu Ying immediately understood and said, "Forge a good relationship?"

The old man handed him the clear oil lamp and said: "Forge a good relationship. I will drink the Yaochi fairy water later. There may be strange phenomena near Fengdu Mountain. If you see anything in the sky or on the sea, use the light to illuminate it." One photo.”

Xu Ying held the clear oil lamp and said with a smile: "This matter is simple, just leave it to me."

The old man was worried, so he took a needle and lifted the wick of the clear oil lamp to make the light brighter.

Xu Ying asked: "Fellow Taoist, I haven't had time to ask for advice yet. Dao Dao, who is my friend?"

The old man fed the man in the coffin to drink the water from the Yaochi. Deep in Fengdu Mountain, there was suddenly an inexplicable vibration, like a heartbeat, a thump, and then another sound.

An inexplicable force awakened from the mountain, as deep as the underworld and as majestic as Fengdu. This force became stronger and stronger, lingering around the man!

The man slowly opened his narrow eyes, and a heavy voice suddenly sounded from the darkness between heaven and earth.

"In ancient times, people called me Beiyin and Fengdu, and they called me emperor."

He was wearing a red and black robe, with the shapes of all the heavens and worlds embroidered on the hem, and his aura was getting stronger and stronger.

The old man beside the coffin suddenly grew bigger and taller, and his robes shrouded Fengdu. He turned into a soul that stood tall on the sky and the earth, standing in the sea of ​​​​underworld, with his head touching the dark sky!

He exudes tremendous divine power and stirs up the underworld!

The mark of the fairy sword inserted into His chest is also gradually fading!

Suddenly, the light of the fairy sword became extremely bright, the sound of the sword vibrated, and it stabbed deeper into the man's chest with all his strength!

"boom!"

Suddenly, the sea water surged into the sky around Fengdu Mountain, lightning flashed and thunder roared. Countless star souls rose from the sea, shaped like countless huge stars, and countless ghosts lived on those stars!

At this time, the star souls were flying around the clear oil lamp in the old man's hand, the stars were lingering, and countless voices came from the old man's mouth, overlapping together, deafening.

"I am the Great Emperor of Beiyin, the Emperor of Beitai, and the Lord of Fengdu as people call it! I am the emperor in charge of the Netherworld and Heavenly Way, a spirit born from the spiritual roots of Fengdu's heaven and earth, a born god, and the one who manages billions of star souls!"

Just a buzzing sound was heard, and extremely bright lights shone. On countless stars, ghosts of all sizes worshiped and called the name of the God of the Underworld.

Their calls and the prayers of ghosts and gods turned into majestic magic power, reviving the heavenly path of Minghai and making the spiritual roots of Fengdu Mountain bright again!

In the Fengdu Dojo, the broken statues of gods are constantly recovering in the strong wind and thunder, and the palace seems to go back in time, falling down and standing up again!

The old man with the same height as Fengdu Mountain was dressed in fierce clothes, and his robes were spinning around Fengdu. The earth-shattering voice came: "People are calling my name in death, awakening me from the darkness, and my green light will shine on them, Lead them to be reborn in the star soul after death!"

The power of the gods in Fengdu is getting stronger and stronger, and the imprint of the fairy sword is getting brighter and brighter.

There was lightning and thunder in Fengdu, and violent winds and rains came suddenly. Xu Ying protected the green lantern with one hand and looked up, but saw that the sky suddenly split open, and there was a huge shadow swimming among the thunderclouds in the sky!

He remembered the old man's words and held up the green lantern to shine into the thunder clouds.

There was a sound like a bull's roar from the thundercloud, and the shadow was illuminated by the light, as if it had been hit hard, and quickly retreated upwards, and was soon blasted into another time and space!

Xu Ying had just breathed a sigh of relief when suddenly the sky collapsed, and countless towering shadows stood at the other end of time and space, rushing towards the sea of ​​​​underworld!

Xu Ying was in a hurry and quickly activated the green lantern. The light shone in the sky where the rain was pouring. The lights passed through the clouds and hit the tall shadows, knocking those terrifying existences back to their original time and space!

"What is that?"

Xu Ying was looking around, but when the shadows faded, a sacred bridge across the sky and the earth suddenly rose up towards Fengdu Mountain.

"Boom!"

That sacred bridge pressed down on Fengdu Mountain, and the huge mountain made a rumbling sound and sank into the underworld!

Xu Ying activated the green lantern, and the light was like a pillar, shining on the sacred bridge.

The sacred bridge is illuminated. It is an arch bridge connecting the two worlds. Mysterious texture patterns are carved on the bridge. It stands between heaven and earth. It seems that you can soar through this sacred bridge!

“What a spectacular divine bridge!”

Xu Ying was amazed and turned the oil lamp to shine from the beginning of the bridge to the end of the bridge, only to see a man standing motionless at the end of the bridge, wearing a fang mask.

He moved the light, and the masked man on the bridge suddenly moved. The light shone again, and in just a short moment, the masked man had arrived at the center of the bridge.

Once the masked man was illuminated by the light, he became motionless again. However, there was a talisman in his hand. The talisman had been raised and golden light was shining everywhere.

The light of the clear oil lamp was getting dimmer and dimmed by the talisman. The masked man also wore a strange smile and moved towards the other side of the bridge little by little.

Suddenly, there was a crisp sound, and the mark of the fairy sword inserted into Beiyin's chest was cut off inch by inch!

There was a look of shock on the face of the masked man, and he was hesitating whether to continue moving forward. Suddenly a thick voice came from outside: "Bei Yin has recovered, come back. We have fallen into the lower world and are treated like prisoners. Do we have to risk our lives?"

The talisman in the masked man's hand suddenly burned, bursting out with dazzling light. The light of the green lantern in Xu Ying's hand was completely suppressed, making him unable to see.

When the light dissipated, the sacred bridge connecting the two worlds in the sky and the masked man on the bridge had disappeared without a trace!

The god in the coffin slowly stood up and looked out into the sky, only to see that the entrance to the outside world was slowly closing. The waves outside Fengdu Mountain gradually subsided, and the water of the Underworld Sea returned to calm.

"Now that tens of thousands of years have passed, the names of the gods in Fengdu are mostly unknown to the world. Only the ghosts are still reciting them silently, leaving a stick of incense for me to keep my soul immortal."

Bei Yin flew up from the coffin, landed on the ground, and said to Xu Ying, "Thank you so much for your kindness, Bei Yin will keep it in my heart."

Xu Ying returned the clear oil lamp to Him, and saw that the light in the oil lamp gradually became brighter again.

Beiyin hung this lamp on the mountain, and there was light in the sea of ​​​​the underworld.

"Who was the person who attacked Fengdu from another world just now?" Xu Ying asked.

"They are demons."

Emperor Beiyin said, "I can use this lamp to push them back. In recent years, they have always wanted to invade Fengdu Mountain. In the past, I could use this lamp to protect myself. Just now, I wanted to heal my wounds, so they could take advantage of it." Fortunately, many Taoist friends are here, and my urgent need is finally solved."

"Demon?"

Xu Ying was stunned and looked at the other side of the underworld sea. There were also demons in the underworld fire. Where did the devil come from?

Emperor Beiyin said: "I don't know where they came from. I have been dead for too long and was suppressed here. All I know is that suddenly a great abyss appeared in the sky, and there were strange eyes behind the abyss, and then the demon appeared. Because of me If I die, they will target my golden body. If they invade me and take away my golden body, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Did the demon appear after Tian Yuan appeared in the sky?"

Xu Ying was puzzled. When did Tianyuan appear?

Emperor Beiyin said: "More than 40,000 years ago, this abyss suddenly appeared in the sky. It is not the Cangwu Abyss. This abyss is different from the Cangwu Abyss. There is great evil hidden in this abyss."

"Is the masked man on the Divine Bridge also a demon?"

"No. I sense that he is the evil in the abyss."

Emperor Beiyin didn't know much about this. Xu Ying put the matter aside for the time being, took out the bamboo stick and asked: "Mr. Beiyin, where is the owner of this bamboo slip, the fortune-telling goddess, now?"

Emperor Beiyin said: "The goddess on Penglai Fairy Island has disappeared along with that fairy island. I met her on the sea back then, and she told me a fortune. Now I don't know her whereabouts. She is When I told my fortune, it was fifteen thousand years ago.”

Xu Ying's heart moved slightly. The goddess on Penglai Fairy Mountain told fortunes for Dongyue, at least 20,000 years ago, and for Beiyin, 15,000 years ago. The time span is extremely long.

Even the Qi Refiners in the Ascension Stage will probably die!

"Only the Qi Master who cuts leeks can survive, or the Penglai Immortal Mountain can save her life, but she needs to take the elixir of immortality in advance."

Xu Ying looked through the bamboo slips and had a lot of doubts in his heart, "Is there really someone who can predict what will happen in future generations ten or twenty thousand years ago? Even Yuan Tiangang, I'm afraid he doesn't have such ability, right? Penglai How does the goddess predict the future?"
