True Immortal of the Netherworld

Just when Xu Yang was fighting with Yaksha Dragon Snake.

Flames shot into the sky, and black wind rose.

The light phoenix and the dark ancestral snake collided, emitting a super strong shock wave that swept through the mountains, rocks and trees within a hundred miles.

A hundred miles away, on a hillside.

A faint light flashed like a group of fireflies frolicking.

Looking closer, the spot of light was actually a weak lightning spark. The light spots converged, revealing a middle-aged Confucian scholar, who was the true form of Lord Pingyun.

"Huh?"

Lord Pingyun stopped and watched.

"Looking at the fire and the black wind that day, someone must have been involved in a fierce fight. There was the aura of the dark Xuantian spirit in the black wind, and it was probably Yaksha Dragon Snake who summoned his snake pet to fight."

"And the party fighting against the Yaksha Dragon Snake unexpectedly summoned a Xuantian spirit of the light system. Judging from the soul power, it was probably a fire phoenix type."

"This person can control the Fire Phoenix True Spirit. He cannot be the Chakravartin Pluto from the underworld. I haven't heard that Qing Guzi is good at summoning techniques such as True Spirits."

"Could there be other masters from the Void Immortal Realm entering the Valley of Lost Souls?"

"In the entire Zhongyuan world, there are not many top Void Immortal Realm experts, and those who are good at summoning techniques such as fire and phoenix are masters from the Southern Territory. Those guys in the Southern Territory worship all kinds of true spirits as totems. Specializes in driving away beasts and summoning.”

"There is an unwritten rule between the Southern Territory and the Northern Territory. When strong men from both sides of the Void Immortal Realm meet, they will treat each other in peace. There will never be a fight if there is no extreme conflict of interest."

"The Book of Life and Death must have been discovered. Fighting for the Book of Life and Death is the most worthy reason. When the road to true immortality is right in front of you, no monk can remain unmoved."

"Such a large-scale movement will most likely be noticed by the old Taoist Qing Guzi. If I intervene first, I may not be able to get the book of life and death, and I may also be seriously injured. Wouldn't it be benefited by the old Taoist Qing Guzi."

Lord Pingyun was thinking a lot and looked up at the stars in the sky.

Above the sky, the bold stars blink, and the timid stars hide in the cloud house.

"It will be dawn soon, so it's better to let them fight to the death. Why don't I seize the time to set up a profound formation and invite you to enter the urn, so that the book of life and death is at your fingertips."

Lord Pingyun rolled up his sleeves and his figure was hidden in a ball of faint light.

The light spot dissipated in an instant, and Lord Pingyun's body disappeared.

...

Another place in the Valley of Lost Souls.

A ten-foot-tall tree grew alone on a bare hillside.

There are a number of yellow Taoist symbols attached to the surface of the tree trunk. If you don't look carefully, you might think it's a few yellow moths landing on the tree trunk to rest.

Under the big tree, the soil was dug into chaotic ravines, like gophers burrowing.

And if you look down from a high altitude, the chaotic ravines are connected into a huge blooming lotus.

The big tree is in the center of the giant lotus.

This is a hidden magic circle.

Suddenly, water-like ripples appeared on the surface of the big tree, and an old Taoist with white hair and wide robes emerged from it.

It was Qing Guzi from Qinglian Dojo.

The old man looked at the fire in the sky in the distance and narrowed his eyes slightly.

He rubbed his fingers and held out a Taoist talisman with a green lotus pattern on the surface in his palm.

Throw it again, and the green lotus Taoist talisman appears in mid-air, hanging without falling.

Immediately afterwards, he landed a spell on the green lotus talisman in mid-air, and the light and shadow of a green lotus bud appeared on the surface of the talisman.

The green lotus buds rotate slowly and continue to absorb the spiritual energy floating in the void. The spiritual energy gathers into light spots like the morning dew clinging to the petals in the morning.

After a while, the green lotus buds opened and bloomed with spiritual light.

The old Taoist nodded with satisfaction, and with one move of one hand, the Qinglian Taoist Talisman fell back into his palm.

He activated his magic power slightly, and a ball of blue light and shadow enveloped the Qinglian Taoist Talisman. After a while, he closed the spell and the Taoist talisman turned into light spots and dissipated.

"Judging from the collected spiritual power, there were two people fighting. And both sides summoned the Xuantian Spirit. One was the Ancestral Snake, the other was the Fire Phoenix..."

"It's certain that one of them is the ghost of Yaksha Dragon Snake. The other one has a fire-attribute physique, and his soul power is slightly weaker than that of Yaksha Dragon Snake. Pingyun-Jun has a thunder-attribute physique, and he has been obsessed with formations all his life. , there is no time to worship the true spirit. This person is definitely not Lord Pingyun."

"Then who could it be? In the entire Northern Territory, I really don't remember that there is such a strong man with a fire attribute physique and good at summoning fire phoenixes. Could it be that he is a strong man from the Southern Territory? The entire Zhongyuan Continent can compete with Yaksha There are really not many dragons and snakes competing head-on, or maybe some old monster who has been hiding for a long time."

"I estimate that this fight must be a lose-lose outcome. Before Lord Pingyun intervenes, I'd better not blindly intervene, lest I be taken advantage of by that hypocrite Lord Pingyun."

"Moreover, the Earth Soul in my body returned not long ago, and my physical strength is only 50% of its original strength. I originally wanted to use the Green Lotus Secret Technique to quickly replenish some mana from the earth and stabilize the Earth Soul."

Qing Guzi raised his right hand and activated his magic power slightly. The mark of the White Lotus Sword flashed on the surface of his small arm, flickering in and out.

"My most powerful method is the way of the sword. But in my current situation, I cannot exert the full power of the way of the sword."

"It's best to seize the limited time to restore your body. No matter who holds the book of life and death, I, Qing Guzi, must keep it."

"I have a sword that can cut down the world."

Qing Guzi looked confident.

After that, Qing Guzi's figure disappeared into the big tree behind him.

...

Daybreak.

Xu Yang carefully sneaked into the Valley of Lost Souls.

At this moment, he reached a fork in the road and stood next to a stone half a man's height, looking down.

An inconspicuous leaf-shaped imprint is engraved on the surface of the stone. Without looking carefully, I thought a dead leaf had fallen on it.

Xu Yang reached out and touched the mark on the surface of the stone.

"Huh? This fork in the road? This rock? This mark?"

"I have clearly walked this road before, and it must have been the third time. I wasn't sure the second time, so I left a mark as verification."

"Could it be that I'm lost?"

"This is impossible?"

Xu Yang had many questions in his heart. He looked up at the rising sun in the east.

"I was traveling in the direction of the sunrise and never lost my bearings."

Xu Yang touched the black and white book half hanging above his head with his hand.

"Is it because holding this book on my head made me a little confused?"

"Try walking again."

Xu Yang looked up again and observed the golden sun above his head. Facing the sunshine, he crossed the fork in the road and continued to move forward.

About half an hour later, he appeared at this fork in the road again.

The same fork in the road, the same rocks, the same marks.

"Am I in an illusion? Is this all fake?"

Xu Yang looked up at the golden sun in the sky, which was higher than before. He looked down at his shadow, which had shortened a bit.

"Time has not frozen, this is not an illusion, and I have not taken the wrong path, but I am always circling in circles. Could it be that I have been introduced into some kind of formation that changes the rules of space?"

"Someone must be up to something." Thinking of this, Xu Yang took a breath.

He stabilized his mind, pressed his palm on the rock, and slightly activated his body.

Green light flashed on the surface of the palm, and the green light turned into roots and quietly penetrated into the rocks.

Under the influence of the technique, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the surface of the mountain stone, and then quietly shattered into powder without even making a single unnecessary sound.

And where the rocks were originally, thin threads of colorful light appeared. The colorful threads outlined the lines of the rocks, flashing one after another.

"Sure enough, someone is up to something."

Xu Yang's eyes widened and he punched a few times in succession.

The strength of the fist turned into rolling golden thunder, and the trees and rocks in the distance turned into fly ash amidst the huge explosion.

The trees and rocks destroyed by Xu Yang all had the same colorful light threads as their original shapes.

"It seems that I have been trapped in the trap for a long time without realizing it."

"Every grass, tree, stone and sand around here, although they are all entities, have been blessed with some kind of formation that possesses the laws of space, and they have become part of the formation. With my current cultivation level, I can't see it at all. There is no way to break the connotation of this space array."

"The one who can achieve such an extreme form of formation space must be Lord Pingyun's Qiankun Ruler."

"In other words, every move I make is already under Lord Pingyun's control."

"Xu Yang, calm down."

Xu Yang simply sat cross-legged, closed his eyes slightly, and started using dolphin brain distraction to think of countermeasures.

Two hours passed, and Xu Yang still remained motionless.

At this time, a voice came from the void.

"Little guy, your name is Xu Yang, right? I've seen your appearance on the evil god's wanted list in the Yudao Sect."

Xu Yang opened his eyes, but there was no one around him. The voice just now was ethereal, and it was impossible to determine the exact location of the speaker.

"I am Xu Yang."

Xu Yang stood up.

"Your Excellency is Mr. Pingyun of the Yu Dao Sect. People say that Mr. Pingyun is a true gentleman of the Confucian Sect. Why are you so sneaky today and don't come out to meet him head-on?" Xu Yang said loudly.

"Hahaha, boy Xu Yang, you want to use provocation to coax me out. It's not that I, Lord Pingyun, are afraid of you, but I don't want to do anything unnecessary. You have already fallen into the Liangyi formation I arranged. If you are interested, just be obedient. Hand over the book of life and death. Otherwise, I will kill you like an ant. In this formation, I am a god-like existence."

"Haha," Xu Yang smiled disdainfully, "You are the second person to ask for the book of life and death from me. The first one is the ancestor of the Yaksha Dragon Snake of the Tiangui Sect. He has probably reached the Naihe Bridge in the underworld now."

"What? Did you kill Yaksha Dragon Snake?" Pingyun Jun strongly questioned.

"Master Yaksha Dragon Snake was killed by me, but not by me. Or rather, he was killed by the book of life and death on my head." Xu Yang began to make up.

"The Book of Life and Death kills people? Could it be that you can activate the Book of Life and Death? I don't believe it." Lord Pingyun said.

"Of course I can activate the Book of Life and Death, haven't you noticed that it has already regarded me as its master? I said that I am now possessed by Pluto. You wouldn't believe it, would you?" Xu Yang said.

"This? This?" Mr. Pingyun was speechless.

Lord Pingyun was still very afraid of Chakravartin Pluto in his heart. His earthly soul had been captured by the Book of Life and Death before, and the terror was deeply imprinted in his memory.

"Hahaha," Xu Yang laughed, "I lied to you."

"I knew you were lying. How could Chakravartin King take away your body? Although you practice ghost skills, your body is not a real ghost and cannot accommodate Chakravartin King's true soul. " Lord Pingyun said.

"Pluto and I are friends, and he gave me the book of life and death." Xu Yang said.

"Are you friends with Chakravartin Pluto?" Lord Pingyun asked again.

"Of course I am a friend, a very good friend. Chakravartin Pluto said that if someone covets the book of life and death, it is not good for me. He will take action and seize that person's earthly soul. What? Lord Pingyun, are you still here? I want to experience the feeling of the soul leaving the body." Xu Yang said.

"..." Mr. Pingyun didn't respond for a while.

"So, if you let me out, we can make friends." Xu Yang said.

"You brat, you are full of lies. Who knows which one of your words is true and which one is false?" Pingyun Jun said.

"I said I can break your Liangyi Formation, do you believe it?" Xu Yang changed the subject and asked.

"You can break my Liangyi Formation, is this impossible? My Liangyi Formation uses the Confucian Confucian Supreme Treasure Qiankun Ruler as the formation eye. The Two Apparatuses generate four images, and the four images generate the Bagua. The Bagua circulates, and the space changes, endlessly. . Only by finding eight identical people can we have a chance to break the formation. Moreover, even if we find eight identical people, we can't break my Qiankun Ruler." Pingyun Jun said confidently.

"Very good," Xu Yang clapped and repeated Lord Pingyun's words in his mind, remembering them firmly, "Then let's make a bet."

"What bet?" Lord Pingyun asked.

"Bet I can break your Liangyi Formation in half a day. If I lose, I will hand you the Book of Life and Death with both hands. If I win, I will turn around and leave." Xu Yang said loudly.

"Hahaha," Lord Pingyun laughed, "I, Lord Pingyun, have been proud of formations all my life, and these two ritual formations are the culmination of what I have learned in my life. You want to break my two ritual formations? Don’t measure your ability.”

"To bet or not to bet?" Xu Yang curled his lips, "Are you afraid?"

"Joke! I, Lord Pingyun, have never lost to anyone in the formation process," Lord Pingyun raised his voice, "I took a bet."

"Okay! A gentleman's words are hard to follow." Xu Yang touched the black and white book on his head with his hand.

Another bet.
