The Zhongyuan Ceremony is a grand event held every three years in the human world. It is also called the Sanyuan Festival together with Shangyuan and Xiayuan.
The Zhongyuan Ceremony is also the day when the gate to the underworld opens. Some creatures go to the underworld by chance. The heaven and the human world are one-way roads, but the underworld and the human world intersect every three years. During the Zhongyuan Ceremony, people
Fengdu, the underworld city in the underworld, keeps the gate to the underworld open for a month. During this month, relatives separated by the two realms can reunite during the Zhongyuan Ceremony.
The underworld city of Fengdu is located in the southern region, in the Desert of Death. Fengdu City is a sacred object, moving all the time, and its whereabouts are hidden on weekdays. Those who are not destined to find traces of Fengdu cannot find it.
During the Zhongyuan Ceremony, Fengdu City manifests and will stay fixedly at a certain place in the Desert of Death. During this period, those who are destined can enter Fengdu City and travel to and from the human world and the underworld through Fengdu.
There are different opinions on why Fengdu City has stayed in the Desert of Death. The most recognized theory among them is undoubtedly the qualification theory.
Although the Death Desert is not a restricted area for life, it is full of dangers and various creatures exist in it, attacking all creatures that enter the Death Desert.
The most famous achievement in the Desert of Death was undoubtedly a thousand years ago, when an eight-level monk went deep into the Desert of Death and died.
As a junior whom the Wen Palace attached great importance to at that time, the important figures in the Wen Palace personally ordered a thorough investigation.
I thought it was a vendetta, but after some investigation, I found that the man died on a dead turtle insect.
This literary monk accidentally stepped on a dead turtle insect in the Desert of Death, was infected by the poison inside, and died suddenly on the spot.
This soft-shell turtle was named Sky Corpse Snake by later generations. The most terrifying Sky Corpse Snake discovered so far is only in the Seventh Palace realm, but the poison it contains can even threaten the emperor.
Moreover, even if the highly poisonous sky corpse cricket dies, the toxins in its body will not dissipate and can remain for a long time.
This is just one of the dangerous spots in the Desert of Death. This desert is not a restricted area for life, but it is also definitely not a place where ordinary monks can set foot.
Fengdu City is located in the Desert of Death, which also forces many monks to stop due to the danger of the Desert of Death.
During this Zhongyuan ceremony, Fengdu City appeared in the Desert of Death, and people set off to the Desert of Death one after another.
Outside Fengdu City.
Yang Nan was wearing a black cloak and a mask that could hide the secrets of heaven, standing in the queue to enter the city.
His eyes fell on the two guards who were checking the people entering the city.
"Ghost cultivator." Yang Nan's eyes flickered slightly. The mainstream system in the underworld is ghost cultivator and divine cultivator.
The former is popular among the middle and lower classes, while Shinto is popular among the upper classes.
Yang Nan remembered that Emperor Fengdu and Yama of the Tenth Hall were all Shinto monks. During the Battle of the Heaven Slayer, these people fought with the Great Cangtian, and most of them died at the hands of the Heaven Slayer.
And now that the new Emperor Fengdu and Yama of the Tenth Hall have been born, the inheritance of these Shinto monks has been rapid.
"I don't know where my father will be in the underworld."
Yang Nan thought silently.
Through this period of investigation, Yang Nan basically confirmed that his father Yang Zhan did not die.
As the first echelon of Sky Slayers, Yang Zhan is a thorn in God's side. But similarly, Yang Zhan, who has completely mastered the law of time, is definitely the most difficult group of Sky Slayers to kill. Yang Nan has never believed in his father.
will perish.
After a long investigation, he finally found clues.
Yang Zhan is most likely hiding somewhere in the underworld to recuperate!
This news was told to him by his father's faded demonic body. This body polluted by the sky inherited his father's talents, derived his own intelligence, and became a different kind of Holy Spirit.
Unfortunately……
A dull sadness appeared in Yang Nan's eyes.
Even though the demonic body was not his father, that sense of familiarity still made him feel a sense of intimacy from a creature that lived thousands of years ago.
It was a familiar feeling from the same era.
Unfortunately, the demon body still fell.
Choosing to break through the holy realm in the human world, perhaps the demon body already has the idea of death in its heart.
He was full of dissatisfaction with his father, but he was still protecting him until his death...
The demon body disguised himself as his father when he was about to die. Even if he died in the hands of the Emperor of Heaven, the Emperor would only think that it was Yang Zhan who died.
"Huh..." Yang Nan exhaled a thick breath.
Sad?
A little, but not much.
The main theme of Road to Heaven is sacrifice.
After experiencing the Tiantian Massacre, Yang Nan's heart has already become as tough as iron.
This is a road accompanied by sacrifice and protection. Today he sacrificed, she sacrificed tomorrow, and I sacrificed the day after tomorrow.
On the road to burial, only sacrifice can accompany you.
All Yang Nan can do is to make his sacrifice more meaningful and leave more fire for the world.
While thinking about it, he was already in line.
He took out the spiritual gold and handed it to the guard. The guard glanced at Yang Nan, who was shrouded in black robes, and waved his hand to signal him to come in.
There were anywhere from a thousand to eight hundred visitors dressed like Yang Nan, so the guards would naturally not ask them to lift their cloaks one by one.
Stepping into Fengdu City, a strong Yin Qi hits your face.
The wheel of life and death in the body automatically rotates, and the surrounding yin energy enters the body and is partially converted into yang energy, maintaining a balance between yin and yang.
There are various stalls on both sides of the street, and the merchants are shrouded in black mist. The human beings entering the city are scattered in front of various shops to buy things.
The specialty products of the underworld can only be purchased once every three years, which is the time for the major chambers of commerce in the human world to get active.
The purpose of Yang Nan's trip is also this. Butian Pavilion is now getting bigger and bigger, and its expenses are getting bigger and bigger. It is difficult for him and other sky-slayers to support it for a long time with their financial resources. They must have their own business.
The Sky Slayers are all good at fighting, but when it comes to doing business... none of them are good at it.
For the time being, he has not found a suitable business for Butian Pavilion. The Zhongyuan Ceremony happened to be here. Yang Nan made a plan and went to the underworld to purchase goods first to make do with it.
Because these things in the underworld are rare in number, each of them is a rare commodity. Each one can be sold for a lot of spiritual gold, which is enough for Butian Pavilion to deal with it for a while.
However, Yang Nan doesn't plan to start a small business here. There are too few. Even if he buys all the shops here, there will only be so much. It is better to go directly to the underworld to find cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce.
There are also chambers of commerce in the underworld, and they are not primitive people, so their level of development is not much different from the human world.
Moreover, because of the limitations of the human world, many places in the underworld are stronger than the human world.
Yang Nan found a merchant ghost and asked about the way to the underworld.
"The City Lord's Mansion in the center of the city, the gate to the underworld is there, eight poles and ten spiritual golds, seven palaces and one hundred spiritual golds, the Sixth Division doesn't know."
"Okay, thank you." Yang Nansai gave the merchant ghost a piece of spiritual gold and rushed towards the center of Fengdu City.
From a distance, before reaching the center of the city, I saw the dark blue portal connecting heaven and earth with no end in sight.
Rushing to the gate of the underworld, Yang Nan only glanced at it for a few times and then withdrew his gaze as the profound and mysterious meaning was hidden inside.
It contains terrible laws. Yang Nan does not dare to continue to explore. If he continues, he may be backlashed.
I found a seat and continued queuing.
Too many people.
The Desert of Death cannot be crossed by anyone but the King, but this does not mean that others cannot enter, but it is very dangerous.
The vast majority of people here have eight-level cultivation, but there are very few in the seventh-level.
The human world is suppressed by heaven and earth. There are not few monks in the Seventh Palace, but they are definitely not too many. The door to the underworld is wide open, and not everyone is interested.
Yang Nan has seen less than a hundred monks from the Seventh Palace so far, and they are all monks who have entered the Seventh Palace for the first time.
His perfection of divine transformation is actually the most... so far...
"Huh?" Yang Nan was stunned, and an extremely powerful energy and blood appeared in his consciousness, burning the yin energy around him like the scorching sun.
These underworld creatures quickly avoided this person when they saw him, for fear of being burned to ashes by this terrible energy and blood.
"Brother Chen." Yang Nan thought for a moment and chose to greet Chen Jian.
Yang Nan used his spiritual consciousness to transmit the message, but Chen Jian still locked onto Yang Nan instantly.
Chen Jian's spirit and body have not yet become one, so he cannot transmit sounds and can only look at Yang Nan.
"Brother Chen, is he also going to the underworld?" Yang Nan asked.
Chen Jian nodded and stood at the back of the team.
"Come with us?"
Chen Jian nodded again.
The two ended their conversation and entered the gate of the underworld one after another.
Because Chen Jian's body of energy and blood was too strong, standing next to the two guards, these two high-level seventh-level ghost cultivators felt that their skin was about to melt next to Chen Jian's terrifying energy and blood.
Looking at this man in fear, the guard took the spirit gold and sent Chen Jian in like a plague god.
After crossing the gate of the underworld, the dead silence, the gray earth comes into view, and a blood moon hangs in the sky, strange and ghostly.
Chen Jian frowned, the smell of this place was really disgusting.
"Brother Chen." Yang Nan's figure appeared next to Chen Jian.
"Brother Yang, why are you dressed like this?" Chen Jian asked doubtfully.
"I provoked some enemies, so I had no choice." Yang Nan said with a wry smile.
Chen Jian nodded suddenly, but didn't say anything to help.
Yang Nan didn't mention it, which means he has a way to solve it himself.
"Brother Chen, what's the matter with coming to the underworld this time?" Yang Nan asked.
"I came here to handle some matters under the order of the prince." Chen Jian said, "Where is Brother Yang?"
"I've never been to the underworld, so come here to gain some knowledge." Yang Nan said with a smile.
Chen Jian nodded, even though he knew that the other party was not telling the truth.
the other side.
Somewhere in the underworld.
Along with a ripple in the space, the blue pearl above Lin Ran's head came across the realm.
The barriers between the three thousand realms are as fragile as paper in front of the Cangzhu, and can be easily broken through.
With the Heavenly Pearl in hand, Lin Ran can travel to any of the three thousand realms at will.
However, except for the Three Realms, there is no need to go to other subordinate worlds.
Just like the underworld, Lin Ran felt the aura of dozens of people who were not weaker than him.
The intensity of spiritual energy is no different from that in the human world, the only difference is the suppression of the Great Emperor.
There is no suppression in the underworld, and there are too many strong people compared to the human world. However, Lin Ran is not too worried. He is the Holy Son of the Heavenly Dao Palace, what should he be afraid of?
The immortal soul spread and Chen Jian's position was easily seen.
"How did these two people meet together?" Lin Ran was a little surprised that Chen Jian and Yang Nan actually met together.
However, it is also a good thing.
Lin Ran's task for Chen Jian was very simple. Make a big fuss in the underworld. The bigger the fuss, the better. Originally, he was worried that Chen Jian wouldn't make too big a fuss, but now that there is another Yang Nan, Lin Ran is worried about not making a fuss.
They are not big enough, but they are afraid that they will overthrow the underworld.
Two Tianzang seedlings come together to do bad things, the destructive power...
"I don't know if the black gold cauldron with immortal patterns can withstand it." Lin Ran was unsure.
For the sake of safety, Lin Ran handed over the Immortal Pattern Black Gold Cauldron to Chen Jian, but after all, he was still too weak. If he angered the Tenth Palace Yama and took action, it was hard to say whether he could escape.
But Lin Ran needs someone to attract attention, and Chen Jian is undoubtedly the best choice. Even if he is caught, the Tenth Palace Yama will definitely be able to see the divine blood in his body and will not take action immediately, which also gives him the opportunity to rescue him.
time.
Although there is a suspicion of betraying Chen Jian, there is nothing that can be done about it.
In order to obtain the dragon veins and restore Yu Xi's strength, this is the only way to do it.
Although it's very unreasonable.
Lin Ran couldn't think of a better way and could only let Chen Jian take the risk.
He has a snow lotus lantern on his body. He will definitely not die if he dies. At most, it will expose the existence of the snow lotus lantern.
Once the snow lotus lantern is exposed, Chen Jian will become a dark child and will either be abandoned or go underground.
It was too involved, but this time he had to be the bait, and he was the only one under Lin Ran who could be the bait.
Chen Jian's life was safe under the triple protection of the immortal-patterned black gold cauldron, the divine blood of the Heavenly Emperor, and the snow lotus lantern. Others would have died without a doubt.
Moreover, regarding the bait, although Lin Ran did not reveal the existence of Yu Xi, he also informed Chen Jian of the stakes involved, and his choice to come was voluntary.
If Chen Jian really didn't want to, Lin Ran wouldn't force it.
But when the time comes, it will be Yu Xi who takes the risk.
Lin Ran couldn't risk his life. He carried the hope of the world and he couldn't die no matter who died.
Withdrawing his Immortal Soul, Lin Ran glanced at some of the Supreme Beings of the Wei Clan who were touched by his Immortal Soul. Lin Ran didn't pay attention, and the Great Void Technique flashed and disappeared in place.
The dragon veins in the underworld are idle, but that doesn’t mean there are dragon veins everywhere.
The realm of the underworld is a bit smaller than the human world, but in the underworld Lin Ran cannot release his immortal soul to explore unscrupulously, and the speed of finding dragon veins is not fast.
But no matter what, Lin Ran is still an earthly immortal, and he is the supreme being in this world. No matter how slow he is in finding dragon veins, he will not be able to slow down much.
Soon, I found a target, but...
Lin Ran stood on the bank, staring at the long blood-yellow river in front of him. The sound of howling and wailing in the river was endless, the fishy wind blew against his face, and the terrifying magic sound echoed in his ears.
Because Lin Ran's immortal soul was so powerful, he was blown away by the fishy wind for a while, and he sacrificed himself to the Taihuang Divine Furnace to resist the demonic sound.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
Surrounded by magical sounds, the place across the river and where Lin Ran is is covered with bright red flowers, so beautiful that you can't help but fall in love with them just by looking at them.
"Forget the River..."
Lin Ran murmured.
He never expected that he would find this extremely weird place by looking for dragon veins.
The legend of the Forgotten River is widely circulated in the world. The Forgotten River in front of you is naturally not the Forgotten River that contains the road to reincarnation, but even just a projection is scary enough.
Lin Ran's fairy soul is aware of it. If he falls into it, he will be instantly swallowed by the demonic nature within it, and a new personality will be born.
Even the Cangzhu with the power of the Great Emperor cannot protect him.
There are rumors in the Three Thousand Realms that the Wangchuan River in the underworld is the place where God sleeps. Any creature that accidentally enters this place will be taken away by God and will never be reincarnated.
The so-called God is the Big Blue Sky, the most demonic among the three heavens. Many of the Sky Slayers did not die directly in the Battle of the Heaven Slaughter, but died under the terrible demonic infection of the Big Blue Sky.
As powerful as the Snow Lotus Monarch, he was also infected by the demonic nature of the Great Sky and finally chose to die together with the demonic material.
There may be extremely terrifying demonic substances hidden in the Forgotten River.
Lin Ran's blue-gold eyes stared at the Wangchuan River. Nine dragon veins criss-crossed under the Wangchuan River. The nine dragons guarded a position, but the terrible demonic nature of Wangchuan did not pollute the dragon veins, as if... there was an invisible force.
It's like separating the demonic nature from the dragon veins.
And why did Lin Ran feel that this scene of Kowloon defending an entire place seemed so familiar?
[Isn’t there a Heaven Slayer hiding here?]
An idea suddenly popped into Lin Ran's mind.
It was obviously ridiculous, but this idea quickly took root in Lin Ran's mind.
Rationally speaking, the Wangchuan River contains the terrifying demonic nature of the Great Cangtian. A peerless powerful person like the Snow Lotus Monkey King has been infected. Who can stay in the Wangchuan River?
Dugu Zangtian and Demon God might be able to, but of these two people, one is in Yang Nan's body and the other is in Samsara Lake.
How could other Heaven Slayers hide in a forbidden place like Wangchuan?
but……
Lin Ran had a vague feeling that there was a certain heaven-slayer hidden inside.
The reason, besides being intuitive, is that they are too similar.
Each of these sky-slayers like to hide in extremely dangerous places. Tu Shanyue and Yu Xi are exceptions. The former is almost equivalent to reincarnation and reincarnation, while the latter has not exposed his identity at all, so there is no need to hide it.
Looking at the others, the Reincarnation Lake where the Demon God is located is one of the few restricted areas of life in the human world. Lin Ran was able to get to the Reincarnation Lake because of the Taihuang Divine Furnace. Even so, he did not dare to actually step into the Reincarnation Lake.
Strictly speaking, Lin Ran only entered the Broken Soul Valley, not the Reincarnation Lake.
The Wangchuan River in front of us is extremely terrifying, but if there is a Heaven Slaughter hiding in it...
It seems like it really won’t be discovered?
Who would have thought that there is a sky-slayer hiding under the eyes of the great sky?
The more Lin Ran thought about it, the more reasonable it became, and the more he looked at the blood-yellow Wangchuan, the more excited he became.
How about going in and taking a look?
Lin Ran killed this idea as soon as it came up.
No, absolutely can't go down.
He smells like God, if there really is a Heaven Slayer inside, he will be beaten to death if he goes down here.
Not to mention that he has no means to resist the demonic erosion in the River of Forgetfulness.
Lin Ran felt that he had little chance of achieving it if he only relied on the Taihuang Divine Furnace.
[Let’s put aside the matter of the Sky Slayer for now, the key is still the dragon vein]
Lin Ran's blue-gold eyes looked at the dragon veins in the River of Forgetfulness and fell into deep thought.
How should I extract these nine dragon veins?
Seven days later.
A magnificent city appeared in sight.
How grand is this city?
Judging from the overhead view in the camera, this giant city is entrenched on several long rivers, with rivers running through the city and flowing in all directions.
As the camera zoomed in, the "people" entering the city were actually less than one ten thousandth of the height of the city wall.
However, these creatures are obviously not "human". Instead, just by looking at them, they feel like... dead people.
The figures of Chen Jian and Yang Nan appeared out of thin air at the top of the giant city.
"Brother Chen, are you sure you want to do this?" Yang Nan looked at the giant city below and hesitantly looked at Chen Jian, who was undisguised beside him.
"Yes." Chen Jian nodded, "Brother Yang can leave first, I can do it myself."
"How can this be done? You and I have been together for seven days and have helped me a lot. How can we back down now?" Yang Nan decisively rejected the proposal.
He was still thinking of tricking Chen Jian into joining the gang. Now that he has run away, what if Chen Jian has a grudge?
Chen Jian took a deep look at Yang Nan. A small black and gold cauldron appeared out of thin air, and blood surged all over his body.
The moment Yang Nan's eyes touched the tripod, the child's hole suddenly shrank.
Great holy weapon?
No, that's not right!
Even this great sacred weapon with mysterious divine patterns can’t do it!
There was movement on Chenjian's side, and the strong men in the city immediately noticed something unusual.
"How can Xiaoxiao be so small?"
A loud shout rang out from the giant city, but before he could finish his words, Chen Jian was seen controlling the black gold cauldron with immortal patterns and slamming it down into the void. The giant city seemed to be pressed by an invisible force.
The giant city that stretched for more than hundreds of millions of miles suddenly sank deep into the ground. In the blink of an eye, only a few meters of the originally tens of thousands of feet high city remained above the ground.
Countless creatures from the underworld burst out of the ground, scurrying away like ants.
"?!
"
Yang Nan looked at this shocking scene in horror.
He understands Chen Jian's fighting power, and this scene is definitely beyond his ability!
Obviously, it's because of the tripod.
After smashing the giant city into the ground, Chen Jian's expression did not change at all, as if he had just done an insignificant thing.
"Little King Wu." A voice sounded out of thin air as if it came from ancient times. The vicissitudes of the voice brought the magic of the years. When hearing this sigh, the bodies of the fleeing creatures in the underworld developed countless cracks, and then collapsed and turned into nothingness.
These underworld creatures that were running around were all destroyed by this sigh, and no one survived!
Yang Nan and Chen Jian looked at this scene solemnly. The person coming with such terrifying power of law must be the Sixth Division, or even an even more terrifying existence!
An illusory figure appeared in front of the two of them, and bits of scarlet light gathered together, solidifying into a tall and powerful terrifying figure.
This man just stood there, with a cold aura rushing towards his face, making people feel like they were seeing a bloody storm, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Chen Jian didn't waste any time and used all his strength to use the black gold cauldron with immortal patterns. Facing an enemy of this level, all he could do was activate the cauldron given to him by the prince.
The body of the black gold cauldron with fairy patterns shook, and the fairy patterns above the black gold cauldron with fairy patterns lit up one after another. Lin Ran's fairy essence left inside the black gold cauldron with fairy patterns immediately activated, and the twenty-four restrictions melted as quickly as ice and snow. The next moment,
Terrible power suddenly exploded.
Under this power, the underworld is trembling, and the terrifying power of the Supreme Peak shrouds the entire underworld.
Forgotten River!
"Making such a big noise?" Lin Ran raised his head in surprise. It had only been seven days, but had it already reached this level?
While sighing inwardly at the two's ability to do things, Lin Ran also started his own operations.
"rise!"
The Dragon Seeking Technique was activated with all its strength, pulling the power of the nine dragon veins hidden under the Wangchuan River.
The immortal essence surged out of Lin Ran's body and poured into the River of Forgetfulness. The Taihuang Divine Furnace vibrated, opening the way for the immortal essence to enter.
Under the urging of the Dragon Seeking Art, the immortal essence turned into ropes, wrapping the nine endless dragon veins, pulling the power of the dragon veins to merge with the immortal essence, and drawing out the dragon veins with the help of the dragon veins themselves.
The core idea behind the "Xunlong Jue" to draw out the dragon's veins is to use force to draw out the dragon's veins.
Lin Ran had obtained the Dragon Seeking Technique for some time, and even if it was the first time to extract dragon veins, it was quite easy to use it.
Originally Lin Ran was still worried about how to extract the dragon's veins, but he suddenly thought of a question.
There is a strange force that isolates the Forgotten River from the Dragon Vein. In other words, it seems that he does not need to resist the erosion of the Forgotten River. Can he just extract the Dragon Vein directly?
Facts have proved that this is indeed the case. Although the Dragon Vein is in the Wangchuan River, it is actually like two worlds. This also makes the water of the Wangchuan River have no reaction at all when Lin Ran extracts the Dragon Vein.
"It's out!" Lin Ran was refreshed. He could feel that the dragon's veins were trembling and were about to be taken away!
Seeing this, Lin Ran once again increased the surge of immortal energy, and the entire land of Wangchuan was trembling, as if there was an earthquake.
Buzz!
The Taihuang Divine Furnace suddenly roared, and before Lin Ran could recover, a figure exuding dark demonic aura appeared in front of Lin Ran.
The black shadow merged with the sky and the earth, and Lin Ran felt that all the space around him was blocked, and even the concept of time was blurred.
Lin Ran looked at the black shadow in front of him in horror. The other person stretched his palm towards him, unable to even touch the dark mark between his eyebrows.
Just when Lin Ran was about to activate the Great Five Elements Technique, a big black hand stopped in front of Lin Ran.
