Chapter 65 Revisiting the Profound Mystery
The underworld is the final resting place of all spirits.
This is not just talk; it's a fact.
Countless cultivators, after their deaths, had their corpses carried to the underworld by the ghostly soldiers who roamed various places, eventually becoming members of the underworld.
The Underworld, which has existed since the time of mythology and even earlier, is vast and boundless, exceeding the size of countless star systems combined.
It is unknown how many corpses are inside, how many ghostly soldiers there are, and how many underworld generals there are.
It is no exaggeration to say that billions of living beings are soldiers and millions of gods and demons are generals.
Essentially, the forbidden zone of life can only be considered a resting place for the old guard, lacking a stable operating mechanism and systematic inheritance.
The underworld is the largest and oldest power in this universe.
It has never declined throughout history.
In other words, during the years when the Great Emperor Wushi swept across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the Underworld, intimidated by his power, had no choice but to hide itself.
Ever since Hua Yunfei awakened, he has had a persistent idea in his mind: to find a way to sneak into the underworld.
However, for now, it's just a thought. The Underworld is far away on the edge of the universe, separated by countless star fields. With his current cultivation level, he simply cannot traverse the starry sky.
However, Hua Yunfei remembered that in the original story, Ye Fan and the others seemed to have seen ghostly soldiers passing through a certain place and entering a mysterious territory.
There was a spatial node there, from which tens of thousands of ghostly soldiers embarked on their return journey and disappeared.
That place seems to be called Eagle Fall Cliff. Oh right, there's a red-haired monster there too.
I wonder if it's possible to enter the underworld directly from there. Maybe he can explore it when his cultivation level is higher.
After leaving the cave, Hua Yunfei went to see Qingyi to inquire about the God King Jiang Taixu.
According to Qingyi, the God King emerged from seclusion a few days ago and is currently still in this small world.
As for the Peacock King, the Azure Dragon King, and the Crimson Dragon Daoist, they are currently in seclusion after receiving guidance from Jiang Taixu, and it is unknown when they will emerge.
When they emerge from seclusion, they may have already become kings who have severed the Dao, or they may have encountered a mishap along the way and passed away peacefully. No one can say for sure.
A worried look crossed his face; he was well aware of how difficult it was to sever the Dao of Immortal Three in this era.
"Brother Qingyi, there is no need to worry. Senior Qingjiao King and the others have already accumulated a wealth of knowledge. First, they comprehended the Dharma in Zishan and then received guidance from the God King. This time, they will surely be able to break through the barrier successfully."
Hua Yunfei comforted him.
He wasn't exaggerating. After the great changes in the world, powerful demons like the Peacock King and the Crimson Dragon Taoist became saints, which means they already had a good foundation.
Now, with Jiang Taixu's guidance, it's just a few years ahead of schedule.
Qingyi nodded, and then led Hua Yunfei to where Jiang Taixu was.
On the way, he overheard Qingyi talking about how the Golden-Winged Roc King had left and returned to his clan to try out the nine heavenly gates left by his ancestors.
Hua Yunfei nodded upon hearing this. This was in line with the other person's personality, and he wouldn't be so easily discouraged.
However, it seems that the Golden-Winged Roc King died in the original story, so it's unknown whether the opponent can survive this time.
Upon arriving at King Jiang's residence, Qingyi did not disturb him further and left directly.
"Senior God King, Senior Rainbow Cloud!"
Hua Yunfei greeted the two of them.
"No need for formalities, please sit!"
Fairy Caiyun smiled and invited him to sit down, and kindly handed him a cup of tea.
Perhaps because they had been separated for four thousand years, and their reunion was almost a complete change of life, Jiang Taixu and Fairy Caiyun now cherish their time together all the more.
We've never been apart during this time.
This may also be due to the depletion of the God-King's essence and the impending end of his lifespan.
"The Devouring Heaven Demon Art is too domineering. It uses the essence of cultivators to strengthen itself and devours others along the way, which is against the harmony of heaven and earth. Moreover, it is following the path of those who came before."
"Have you figured out how you're going to walk your own path?"
The God King immediately pointed out a common problem faced by practitioners of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art.
This approach may be powerful, but it's difficult to reach the end.
"Please rest assured, God King, I am aware of the drawbacks of this path, and I know what I should do."
Hua Yunfei answered solemnly.
Others who cultivate the Devouring Heaven Demon Art will find it difficult to break through the shackles and will ultimately only become a hybrid that is neither fish nor fowl.
But Hua Yunfei is different. With the nourishment of the placenta of heaven and earth, his path of chaos will not leave any flaws from the very beginning.
He has a clear plan for his future.
Seeing that Hua Yunfei understood, Jiang Taixu said no more.
When Hua Yunfei asked about the God King's current situation, Jiang Taixu shook his head, saying that living a second life was not that simple and that he was still exploring.
After a pause, Jiang Taixu continued, "I've had some unexpected gains in this small world these past few days."
Upon hearing the God King's account, Hua Yunfei learned that he had witnessed some demons transforming from snakes into dragons in the past few days. He observed them undergoing a bloody metamorphosis, facing death to be reborn, and reaching the ultimate sublimation.
Ultimately, the snake transformed into a dragon, elevating its life level to a higher level, which greatly moved him.
Hua Yunfei's heart stirred. He thought of a place that was sometimes magnificent and prosperous, and sometimes dilapidated, containing the true meaning of returning to simplicity.
Zhuofeng's natural highway!
The natural way is to tell the story of all things from birth to death, from vitality to extreme prosperity, and finally from flourishing to tranquility.
Isn't this very similar to the current state of the God King?
Hua Yunfei also wanted to return to Tai Xuan Sect to see his grandfather, so that his grandfather wouldn't have to worry about him anymore.
He immediately informed the God King of the news about Zhuofeng, feeling that the Great Dao of Nature might be of some reference value to the God King.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Taixu pondered for a moment and readily agreed, deciding to go to the Tai Xuan Sect with Hua Yunfei.
Anyway, he has nothing to do now, so it doesn't matter where he is.
Seeing the smile on Hua Yunfei's face, Jiang Taixu smiled and said, "Is there something else you'd like to do through me?"
Hua Yunfei felt a chill run down his spine. Oh no, he'd been found out.
He then chuckled awkwardly, "Nothing can be hidden from you, God King. It's like this, there may be powerful figures in my Tai Xuan Sect who have sided with the Yao Guang Holy Land. I wonder if they will turn against me when I return..."
Hua Yunfei always believed that there was a traitor within the Tai Xuan Sect.
As a first-rate sect below the Holy Land, the Tai Xuan Sect has a history of over ten thousand years. Although it cannot match the Holy Land in terms of powerful experts, it still has nearly ten.
The protector of the Ruthless lineage stayed in the Tai Xuan Sect for twenty years without anyone in the sect noticing.
Nobody would believe there's no problem.
"It's alright, since there are already hidden dangers, let's eliminate them all at once..." Jiang Taixu said calmly.
Before leaving, Hua Yunfei made a special trip to see Yan Ruyu. After all, she was a good strategic partner, and the two had developed some rapport over the years, so it wouldn't be appropriate to leave without saying goodbye.
The demon princess was somewhat taken aback by his sudden departure.
After a brief moment, Yan Ruyu smiled and asked, "When will Brother Hua come to visit Ruyu again?"
Hua Yunfei was taken aback, then looked at the serene and elegant woman before him and smiled, "It won't be long before we need the princess's help again."
"Oh, what is it?" Yan Ruyu asked, somewhat surprised.
"You'll find out when the time comes," Hua Yunfei said without explicitly stating it.
He couldn't very well say directly, "I've taken a liking to... the Emperor's heart, haven't I?"
