"The void soul swallows the beast?" Liang Yan's eyes showed a hint of surprise. He has never heard of it until now.
Shou Wenshi lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said calmly: "I accidentally learned about the origin of this beast from my master back then. Later, I unfortunately fell into this place. After five hundred years of investigation, I finally confirmed my guess.
.”
"The Void Soul Swallowing Beast is extremely powerful. Even among the Nine Netherworlds, it is ranked among the best. However, it spends most of its time in a state of dormant sleep. Its actions rely solely on instinct, and it is always devouring endlessly.
"
Seeing Shou Wen's words were conclusive, Liang Yan couldn't help but become serious, and secretly thought in his heart: "Is this person not a lunatic, and what he said is true?"
He thought for a while and suddenly asked: "Since you said that this void soul-swallowing beast spends most of its time in a state of dormant sleep, and its actions are all based on instinct, then why does it cross the realm of yin and yang and ingest us?
In the belly?”
"Let's start from the beginning."
Shou Wenshi took another sip of tea and chuckled: "Tens of thousands of years ago, this void soul-swallowing beast somehow accidentally ate an innate Tao fruit. Although this innate Tao fruit was legendary,
Treasures from heaven, materials and earth are all extremely precious, but that is only for monks."
"The properties of the Void Soul Swallowing Beast are completely inconsistent with this innate Dao Fruit. It can be said that this Dao Fruit not only has no benefit to it, but is actually the most deadly poison."
"Ever since it swallowed the innate Dao Fruit, this Void Soul Swallowing Beast has been competing with it all the time. Over time, this place has become a battlefield. However, the power of the Innate Dao Fruit is too strong, and the Void Soul Swallowing Beast has no way to deal with it. This disappears.
As he grows older, his strength gradually declines and his character gradually becomes crazy."
"The Void Soul Devouring Beast went crazy and enslaved several ghosts under the Nine Netherworld, forcing them to cross the two realms of Yin and Yang, and hunted down a large number of monks for it to devour, in order to maintain its strength and fight against the innate Dao in the body.
The fruits compete with each other.”
Liang Yan heard him say this in one breath, and the suspicion in his eyes gradually faded. At least he didn't find any obvious flaws in the other party's words.
"If he is telling the truth, it explains why the Yinming Ghost Division arrests people across borders, and why they, monks from different realms of the human continent, were thrown into the same place."
Thinking of this, Liang Yan said again: "What Chief Shou said is really shocking, but Liang still has a question, since we are all used as food by the Void Soul Devouring Beast, why can we still live well until now?
"
"Haha!" Shou Wenshi laughed twice and said calmly: "Leader Liang thinks too highly of me. Strictly speaking, we are not its food. The real 'food' can be found as early as the moment we enter this place.
It has completely swallowed up the essence."
"What?!" Liang Yan seemed to have thought of something, and his face changed slightly.
"Hehe, I guess after Alliance Leader Liang advanced to the golden elixir, he would feel more or less like being spied on, right?"
"Yes, there is indeed a vague feeling that makes Liang feel like a light on his back." Liang Yan nodded and admitted.
"That's it. In fact, we are all livestock raised by it. The reason why we haven't been slaughtered yet is because we haven't reached its standards yet." Shou Wenshi said with some helplessness: "Once your cultivation reaches a certain level,
In this realm, this void soul-swallowing beast will come to harvest your blood essence."
When Liang Yan heard this, he instantly recalled the strange "murderous gray fog" in the bamboo forest where Gu Zhiyu was.
At that time, the three lion kings of the Mad Lion Alliance were also accidentally sucked into the gray mist. With just one breath, their blood and essence were drained, turning them into three mummies.
That scene was so shocking that Liang Yan has never forgotten it to this day.
Moreover, Gu Zhiyu once said that after he broke through to the peak of the golden elixir, this strange "murderous gray mist" appeared. With his cultivation level and sword cultivation magical power, he could not fight it and could only hide.
Under the protection of the immortal jade and sword array, I still dare not come out.
"It seems that the 'murderous gray mist' is the method used by the Void Soul Swallowing Beast to harvest the blood essence of the monks."
In contrast, Liang Yan already believed seventy-eight percent of what Shou Wenshi said.
At this time, Shou Wenshi slowly spoke again: "As we all know, there are no monks who have reached Tongxuan realm or above in the entire hell. In fact, it is not that there are none, but all the monks who have reached this realm have been killed by this void soul swallowing beast.
It is digested directly, and only those of us who are not strong enough can survive by chance."
Although he had already made some guesses, Liang Yan couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this.
"According to what you said, the entire hell is a Shura field. As long as we stay here, we will inevitably end up being devoured sooner or later?"
"That's right!" Shou Wenshi nodded: "The higher the cultivation level, the easier it is to be discovered by it. It is precisely because I knew this secret five hundred years ago that I have suppressed my cultivation level and will never do it again.
Dare to break through."
After he finished speaking, Liang Yan did not answer any more, but lowered his head and fell silent.
Obviously, what Shou Wenshi said was too shocking, and he still needs time to digest it.
The two of them were speechless for a while, and then Liang Yan raised his head and asked again: "Since you took the initiative to tell me this, it must not be out of boredom. You said there is a way to escape from Hell, but I don't know what it is."
Method?"
Shou Wenshi smiled slightly and said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Liang, let me ask you a question first. This Void Soul Swallowing Beast is obviously a monster under the Nine Netherworld. Why is there such a thing as a fairy stone in its belly?
exist?"
"this"
Liang Yan hesitated for a while. Although he had already known the source of the fairy stone from Gu Zhiyu, he didn't want to say more at the moment. Instead, he followed his question and asked: "Yes, logically speaking, this place should be dead."
Miman, how can there be immortal stones?"
Shou Wenshi smiled and said: "Not only the immortal stone, but also the mountains, landforms, rivers, lakes and seas here are actually evolved from the innate Dao fruit. It is precisely because of the existence of this innate Dao fruit that we
Only human monks can survive here."
"The innate Dao Fruit blended into this space, creating all the environments around us, and its aura gave birth to six pieces of fairy jade. These six pieces of fairy jade are the source of all the fairy stone veins in the underworld."
When Liang Yan heard this, he felt suddenly. What Shou Wenshi said coincided with Gu Zhiyu's discovery, and was more comprehensive and in-depth than what his uncle knew.
By this time, Liang Yan had no doubts about the leader of the Thousand Birds Alliance in front of him. He cupped his hands towards him and then asked:
"Thank you for clarifying my doubts, but Chief Shou still hasn't said how to escape from Hell?"
"It's very simple! If you want to escape from Hell, there is only one way, and that is."
This time Shou Wenshi didn't show off any more. He stared into Liang Yan's eyes and answered word by word:
"Find this innate Dao fruit!"
Liang Yan was slightly stunned when he heard this. Before he could continue to ask questions, Shou Wenshi had already explained:
"Innate Dao Fruit is just a general term, such as Holy Buddha Cloud Fruit, Nine Heavens Cold Crystal Fruit, and Biluo Huangquan Fruit. The principles of the Dao contained in them are different. Although I have not seen this innate Dao Fruit with my own eyes, since it can evolve space,
After creating this world, Shou boldly guessed that this should be an innate Dao Fruit containing the power of space!"
"The power of space!"
Liang Yan instantly understood the meaning of Shou Wenshi. If he wanted to escape from this world, he could only use the extremely powerful power of space. Since the divine power contained in the innate Tao Fruit can compete with the Void Soul Swallowing Beast, then it is
It's possible to help them escape from here.
"This is indeed a solution."
Liang Yan pondered for a moment and then said: "It's just that Hell is so big. If we want to find this innate Dao Fruit, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack! Leader Shou has stayed in Hell for the longest time. Is there any clue?"
After hearing this, Shou Wenshi laughed and said: "Although the trace of the Xiantian Dao Fruit is hard to find, the six pieces of immortal jade derived from it can be traced. As far as I know, as long as you gather six pieces of immortal jade, you can
Find the location of this innate Dao Fruit!"
"Oh? Then you already have an idea of the whereabouts of these six pieces of immortal jade?"
Liang Yan's eyelids twitched inadvertently, because he himself knew the whereabouts of one of the pieces of fairy jade, but he didn't want to take the initiative to tell it at this moment.
Shou Wenshi's face suddenly became serious. He looked at Liang Yan and said slowly: "This is why I came to find you today. In fact, each of the main cities of our four major alliances has a
Immortal jade!”
"What?!"
Liang Yan was really shocked this time. You must know that after he took over the Feixing Alliance, the first thing he did was to search through the treasure trove of the Galaxy Palace, but he definitely didn't see any fairy jade.
"Hey, Leader Liang, you don't have to be surprised. In fact, all the leaders of our four major alliances know this. It's just that you have been the leader for the shortest time and your methods are somewhat special, so you don't know anything about it."
Shou Wenshi glanced at him and chuckled.
Liang Yan naturally knew what Shou Wenshi was referring to. The positions of leaders of other alliances were all passed down by the previous old alliance leaders when they were dying, and they must have been informed of the secret of Xianyu.
But Liang Yan was different. He directly killed Meng Qibai and replaced him, so he did not inherit the secret of Xianyu.
Shou Wenshi can only point this out until Liang Yan understands.
"According to the inheritance habits of our four major alliances, this fairy jade is not stored in the treasure house, but in the ancestral halls of the past alliance leaders. Leader Liang may wish to go to the ancestral hall to have a look, maybe there will be unexpected gains." Shou Wenshi's face was full of surprises.
Said with a smile.
Liang Yan nodded and said: "Okay, I will go and have a look. But even so, adding up the immortal jade from our four alliances, there are only four pieces, and there are still two pieces missing?"
"About the other two pieces of immortal jade, I already have clues about one of them. I came to see Alliance Leader Liang this time just to invite you to join the alliance, to collect six pieces of immortal jade together, and then escape from the hell together." Shou Wenshi said calmly.
.
"Oh? Can you tell me where the fairy jade you found is?"
"I can't say more about the specifics. I can only tell you that we are near a very powerful underworld beast. We have to work together to have a chance of winning. If Leader Liang wants to know more, you might as well go to Ningluo Mountain on the tenth day of the next month.
, I will have a few friends to introduce you to you then."
Hearing that he was near a very powerful underworld beast, Liang Yan instantly judged that the immortal jade found in the Shouwen Stone was probably not the piece in Gu Zhiyu's hand.
But the "friend" he mentioned surprised Liang Yan.
"The friends you are talking about, do you mean Nie Ziming and Xiang An?"
"Haha, does Leader Liang really think that we are the only four golden elixir monks in the entire Hades Prison?" Shou Wenshi smiled mysteriously and said: "There are many old immortals in the Hades Prison, but they have suppressed their cultivation in these years.
That’s all.”
After Liang Yan heard this, he suddenly thought of his uncle Gu Zhiyu who was trapped in the bamboo forest.
Shou Wenshi sighed again at this moment and said: "Actually, I am the one who wants to escape from Hell the most. After all, I have been trapped in the golden elixir stage for five hundred years. Seeing that the end is approaching, if I break through, I will die. If I don't, I will die.
Only by escaping from hell can you have a chance of survival."
Seeing his desolate expression, Liang Yan could more or less understand Shou Wenshi's mood at the moment.
Which cultivator is willing to sit down and die? What's more, in such an oppressive environment, he is forced to be unable to break through, and eventually reaches the end of his life.
"The Shou Alliance Leader's words today have solved the mystery that has troubled Liang for many years. I am really grateful. On the tenth day of next month, Liang will definitely attend the appointment on time!"
"good!"
Shou Wenshi's face lit up with joy, he stood up, held his fist in his arms and said, "On the tenth day of next month, we'll be waiting for you on Mount Ningluo!"
Liang Yan also stood up with a smile, returned the gift to him, and then watched the man make a gesture and fly away, turning into a white light and leaving the Galaxy Palace.
Not long after Shou Wenshi left, Liang Yan's expression gradually calmed down.
Without any delay, he turned around and flew towards the Alliance Leader's Ancestral Hall in Xinghe Palace.
After half a cup of tea, Liang Yan arrived at the door of a magnificent and magnificent palace.
The tablets of the previous alliance leaders of the Galaxy Palace are stored here. It is the most solemn place in the entire Flying Star Alliance. It is surrounded by formations to isolate it, and no one is allowed to get close to it.
Of course, this rule is for ordinary monks. As the leader of the Flying Star Alliance, Liang Yan naturally does not have to abide by it.
He directly pushed open the black door and walked towards the depths of the palace.
I saw more than twenty oil lamps floating in the air, with a name hanging below each lamp, and Meng Qibai was also among them.
But that was not what Liang Yan cared about. A blue aura emerged in his eyes and he glanced left and right in the silent hall.
After a moment, his eyes lit up and he walked to the back of the tablet.
There is a picture hanging there, which is full of stars, exactly like the flag of the Flying Star Alliance.
Liang Yan raised his hand and created a magic formula that blended into the picture. The next moment, he heard a deep sound and the wall behind the picture suddenly cracked, revealing a small intestine path.
An indescribably rich aura filled the air from this path.
