Chapter 869 Valley of the Shadow of Death(1/2)
Qin Hong used the Sun-Chasing Immortal Step, and within a year, he appeared outside the Death Yin Valley.
There is a space crack between the clear and destruction of clouds.
Qin Di came here last time, but because of his low skills, he didn't dare to jump in.
This time Qin Hong came on his behalf and stood outside the Death Yin Valley at the realm of a fifth-level immortal king.
He first reversed the universe, reversed the yin and yang, restrained the immortal energy, used the gods and demons to refine the body, and turned himself into a demon cultivator!
Why do this?
Because it is said that Death Yin Valley is the residence of the Styx, how can we know that the Styx will not leave an incarnation here like the Forgetful River?
The Ancestor of the Styx is a person who has reached the pinnacle of his practice of demonic skills. He has gone from demonic entering the Tao and turned into a famous emperor in the world.
If he left his incarnation, his skills would not be weaker than Zhang Bao!
Therefore, Qin Hong had to be careful.
After all, he only has the cultivation level of a fifth-level immortal king. Although he is not afraid of any immortal king with the Zhuxian Sword Formation, he must be cautious when encountering the incarnation of the emperor, especially if he rashly breaks into the other party's house, it is better not to take action if he can do it!
Qin Hong turned himself into a demon cultivator and put a "Spring and Autumn Xuanyu Golden Talisman" on his clothes. This is a yellow-level divine talisman created by "Spring and Autumn Old Immortal" and is unknown to the world.
Qin Di is already the peak of the seventh level immortal king, and can draw his own unique magical talisman.
It was a bit difficult for him to draw the "Taishang Kaitian Talisman" because it was the magic Talisman created by the Three Pure Ones. Although he knew how to draw it, he was unable to draw it in one stroke because of his lack of skills, and his success rate was very low.
The "Spring and Autumn Xuanyu Golden Talisman" is very unique. It can be depicted intermittently, draw a few strokes at a time, and finally connect them together.
With such a magical talisman protection, at least you can have a chance to escape.
It is precisely because of this that he dared to come to the Death Valley, otherwise why would he have to come to die? He could wait until he reached the peak of the Immortal King before coming.
But if you really practice to the peak of the Immortal King, it would seem a bit strange!
Because except for the Emperor, all the ninth-level immortal kings have ascended! In that case, falling into the incarnation of the Ancestor of the Styx will cause fear from the other party. If it causes violent fighting and breaks the root of the heavenly way, it will not be a good thing!
Qin Hong jumped into the crack in the space and saw lines of law threads as sharp as blades.
The road under your feet is very narrow, with only colorful clouds about a foot wide.
He flew forward on the colorful clouds, which continued to lead to the distance.
After flying for half an hour, the light around became dim, as if it was dusk.
Going further forward, an endless star land appeared.
The light became even dimmer. If a mortal came here, it would be within the reach of his naked eyes.
After all, Qin Hong is an immortal king and has practiced his eyes, so he can see far.
He saw some dark grass, black pine and cypress, sparse branches and leaves, and low trees, like shrubs in the world.
Qin Hong flew over from a low altitude and saw human bones appearing in the grass in front of him. It seemed that they were left behind after the fall of an immortal many years ago.
He fell from the air and walked forward on foot, and from time to time he saw complete and scattered bones exposed to the wasteland.
There are various Taoist patterns on those bones, and some Taoist patterns have been erased by time, so the bones are about to turn into dust.
Some bones are relatively fresh and seem to have not been too long.
Qin Hong could clearly feel that this star land was not without spiritual energy.
After the immortals fell, their bodies contained fairy spirit energy, and their caves stored fairy spirit veins.
The fairy spirit scattered in the air, blown by the wind, and floated to the core area of the Star Land; the fairy spirit veins also escaped from the broken cave heaven and fled to the depths of the ground, as if they were pulled, gradually moving towards the core position of the Star Land,
I don’t know how vast this star land is. The more Qin Hong walked forward, the lower the terrain, the entire star land was like a basin, with high and low around it. I think the "root of the Great Way" should be at the bottom of the valley.
After walking for two or three hours, more and more bones appeared in front of them.
Qin Hong felt a little strange: "According to legend, those who come here are all immortal kings, how can there be so many skeletons? There are many immortal kings in this world! Those emperors have not been able to cultivate a large number of immortal kings for a while. In history, all the immortal kings will not exceed two thousand, and there are hundreds of skeletons I see!"
He lowered his head and observed carefully. He found that some of the bones had a lower level. Not to mention the Immortal Lord, they were at most golden immortals.
It seems that there have been several unknown wars on this star land, and a large number of immortals have fallen here.
Qin Hong felt it was understandable and thought to himself: "If the ancestor of the Styx intends to build this place into a Shura field, just arrange a magic circle that confuses the mind, so that the immortals who come to explore can kill each other, and he can reap the benefits of the fisherman."
Walking further forward, he saw a small river. The river water was dark yellow and gurgling, and the sound of water intertwined, faintly turning into a magical sound.
"The Dead Song?"
Although Qin Hong was proficient in immortal sounds, his musical music was more important than that of immortals, Buddhism and Confucianism, and his research on demon sounds was not very in-depth.
However, his disciple once entered the underworld and worshipped under the Styx Ancestor, and learned "Demon Song" from the other party.
Therefore, Qin Hong also knew about magic sound, but he did not perform repeatedly, nor did he call on his disciples to rehearse the "Demon Dance".
Qin Hong heard the smell of "Soul Song" from the "Ding Ding" river water, and realized that this small river was strange. There may be more than one similar small river. Each small river is like a bloodline of life, combined together to form a "demon array", which makes people fall into unconscious madness, and then kills each other and falls here.
Of course, the real "demon array" is not that simple.
Qin Hong listened with his ears and heard the sound of the wind and the low dragon roar.
He was a little surprised: "How could there be a dragon roar? Could it be that the ancestor of the Styx began to raise dragons?"
Dragon, tiger, turtle, phoenix are the four legendary holy beasts.
Like humans, demon cultivators will practice spontaneously and consciously. In order to achieve the right result, they established alliances with the Immortal Emperor.
The east green dragon, the west white tiger, the south vermilion bird, the north Xuanwu, and the central Qilin.
The so-called East Qinglong means that the Qinglong clan lives in the east and has a good relationship with the Qing Emperor Palace, which is equivalent to the divine beast of the Qing Emperor Fuxi.
The Western White Tiger means that the White Tiger tribe lives in the West and belongs to the White Emperor Palace.
The Southern Vermillion Bird means that the Phoenix Clan worshipped under the Chidi Emperor; the Northern Xuanwu refers to the establishment of an alliance between the Turtle and Snake Ancestor and the Black Emperor; the Central Qilin refers to the recognition that the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan is their master.
The dragon clan is very special. It has different branches below it, divided into blue dragon, red dragon, white dragon, black dragon and yellow dragon, and is worshipped under the Five Emperors Palace.
Qin Hong had never heard that the ancestor of the Styx would also "play with dragons", which was a bit strange.
No matter what, the dragons under the Five Emperors' Sect belong to the Immortal Spirit Beast. If the Ancestor of the Styx also raises dragons, it will be the Demon Sect monster.
He thought to himself: "The world is so great that there are all kinds of wonders. Dragons have nine sons and each has their own preferences. Perhaps, the ancestor of the Styx raised the Earth Bone Dragon?"
He continued to walk along the river and saw that the terrain became lower and lower, and the trees gradually became denser and taller. However, the color was not green, but dark, and black could also become crystal clear and begin to shine. It was a manifestation of spiritual energy.
Qin Hong took a deep breath and felt that the spiritual energy here had changed. It did not belong to the "fairy spirit energy" of pure yang, but became the "ghost energy" of pure yin. This is the division between immortals and demons. The two schools have different ways of practicing, one yin and one yang, and the same path is achieved.
Qin Hong himself practices immortals, demons, Buddhas, and Confucianism, and is very proficient in the mind methods of the demon clan, and does not care about the changes in the surrounding spiritual energy.
And at this time, he had already restrained his fairy weapon, and what was flowing was demonic energy, so he felt very comfortable when he smelled the "ghost energy".
He slowed down and walked forward slowly.
I don’t know how long I have been walking, maybe a month, or two months, suddenly, he saw a large lake in front of him, and a dark purple palace by the lake.
He was shocked: "I finally arrived at the place. Do you know if the ancestor of the Styx is here?"
"According to the Bahongxiang Realm, this is the lowest-level universe. People go to high places and water flows to low places. The ancestor of the Styx is the emperor. His body and clone should go elsewhere, at most, a incarnation will remain."
Qin Hong did not approach the palace. He stood by the lake and looked around and saw a light column in the middle of the lake, three feet thick, passing through the dim lake water from the bottom of the lake, radiantly flowing, pointing directly to the sky, disappearing into the clouds.
He saw that in the lake, not far from the light column, a black dragon head was exposed. Above the dragon head was an old man, shrouded in purple air, and he could not see the person's face clearly.
Qin Hong's body shook slightly and he thought to himself: "This is fine! I'm still wondering if I would meet the Ancestor of the Styx, who was riding a black dragon and realizing the truth in the middle of the lake! How could this old guy have a black dragon? Instead of a earth bone dragon? Did he snatch it from the Black Emperor Palace?"
Since he came here and saw the figure of the Ancestor of the Styx, Qin Hong could not escape, and that was meaningless.
He could not jump into the middle of the lake, disturb the other party's enlightenment, and it would likely lead to a fight.
So, he sat on the branches of the pine tree by the lake, looking closely at the colorful column of light, which was the root of the great way pursued by the immortals. In the flowing light, the incomplete great way trees were displayed, which were unpredictable and inspired.
Although the distance is far, Qin Hong practiced the eye skills of the "Sunset Arrow Art" and could see clearly the changes in the Great Way.
He compared the great way he observed with Zhang Bao's "Haotian Golden Chapter", peeled off the threads and decoctions, removed the drought and preserved the truth, and then remembered the great way he understood in his heart.
He did not take out the gold foil, jade slips and talisman pens, but instead simulated the avenue with his spiritual sense in the cave.
He heard the sound of wind and the God of Water, occasionally mixed with the roar of the black dragon, which sounded like a whine.
He felt that the wind by the lake was strange, and it rotated clockwise around the center of the lake, and the lake water also rotated in the same direction, forming a vortex in the center of the lake.
There is a rich spiritual energy in the lake!
He saw a strange fish with a green and yellow head, a fish body with no flesh, only white bones!
Qin Hong thought to himself: "Has that black dragon turned into this way? The body soaked in the lake water has turned into white bones?"
He also saw dark purple algae in the lake. It seemed that the environment here was very similar to the Nether Sea underground.
Qin Hong had a clone in the past. He practiced underground for many years. He once went to the Netherworld Sea and obtained the ghost bones of the Yellow Springs at the bottom of the water. At that time, he did not meet the ancestor of the Styx.
He withdrew his gaze and focused on the pillar of light of the Great Dao.
Time passed little by little, and I don’t know how long it took.
Suddenly, the old man sitting on the black dragon head in the middle of the lake turned around and his eyes looked like electric shocks.
At the same time, a voice came: "What's your name? Which emperor's disciple is it?"
Qin Hong looked at the other party and bowed and replied, "My name is Qin Hong, and my master is Di Jun."
