In the 16 Hell's Maps, there were vengeful ghosts ripping out tendons and bones, Hell crows pecking at hearts and livers, boiling hot oil, heads, tongues and teeth …
Giant bees gathered, ant swarms surged, vicious dogs patrolled, venomous scorpions lurked, purple snakes slithered about …
Every single Hell's Map was different.
Different environments and different living beings of Hell.
The only similarity was that the cultivators and living beings that were caught in them would suffer immense pain. They would either be tortured or torn apart by the living beings of Hell – none of them had a good ending!
These sixteen drawings were simple, but they vividly portrayed the ghastly terror of the Infernal Realm.
Although Wu Dao's true body did not experience many of the scenes in Hell personally, he could still sense the struggles and pain of the living beings within through the Hell's Maps.
It was not easy to leave marks on the hard rock ground. To be able to create such a Hell's Map was proof of the skills of the painter.
Wu Dao's true body felt that something was amiss – there was something strange about this.
However, his mind was preoccupied with Yan Beichen and his emotions were in a mess – he could not figure it out for the time being.
"Could there be 16 different regions in Hell of Avici?"
Heavenly Wolf followed behind Wu Dao's true body and said thoughtfully after looking at the 16 Hell's Maps.
Wu Dao's true body fell into deep thought and remained silent.
"Strange."
Heavenly Wolf circled around Emperor Lord Bo Xun's corpse before saying, "These 16 Hell's Maps were drawn around the old master's corpse. Could there be a deeper meaning?"
Wu Dao's true body's heart skipped a beat and he suddenly asked, "You guys didn't see these 16 Hell's Maps when you first landed here?"
"Of course not."
Heavenly Wolf shook his head instinctively.
Wu Dao's true body suddenly thought of a possibility and his expression changed starkly beneath the silver mask!
Instantly, his heart felt as though it was gripped by an invisible hand, suffocating him!
After a moment of silence, Wu Dao's true body asked slowly, "Then … who drew these 16 Hell's Maps?"
"How would I know?"
Heavenly Wolf replied without hesitation.
He still didn't understand the hidden meaning behind the Martial Dao Body's words.
"I drew it."
Another voice sounded. It was calm and gentle, neither light nor heavy.
This was not the voice of Wu Dao's true body, nor was it the voice of the Heavenly Wolf.
In this spacious hall, there was a third living person!
Moreover, this voice had come from right beside them!
Hiss!
In the blink of an eye, Sky Wolf felt a chill spread all over his body. All the fur on his body stood on end. His mouth was wide open, and his eyes were full of fear. His body trembled as if he had thought of the most terrifying thing in the world!
Wu Dao's main body had already expected this, but when he heard the third voice, he still felt his blood run cold and his mind tremble!
Wu Dao slowly turned around and looked in the direction of Bo Xun's corpse.
Sky Wolf also turned its head, its eyes filled with fear.
It was a simple action, but it was extremely difficult for Sky Wolf to do it. Its flesh and blood seemed to have stiffened and no longer listened to its orders.
The withered 'corpse' that was sitting cross-legged slowly raised its head. The long hair in front of its forehead gradually slid to the sides, revealing a thin face.
The face did not look old. In terms of age, it could only be considered middle-aged. It did not have a beard, had handsome facial features, and had clear eyes.
Although his clothes were ragged and his hair was unkempt, his face was solemn and dignified. The first impression he gave off was that of a virtuous monk with profound Buddhist Dharma.
The middle-aged man's gaze was gentle and he had a smile on his face that seemed to be able to calm one's mind.
Even so, Sky Wolf was already paralyzed with fear. Its limbs were pressed tightly to the ground as it trembled. Its head was lowered and it did not even dare to look at the middle-aged man.
"Old, old, old master …"
Heavenly Wolf's voice was trembling. He stuttered as he spoke those three simple words.
It was only at this moment that Wu Dao's true body confirmed that this middle-aged man was Bo Xun from back then!
However, he never expected that after so many years, Bo Xun was still alive after being sent to Avici by more than 20 Imperial Emperors!
When Wu Dao's true body realized that Bo Xun might still be alive, his first reaction was that Sky Wolf had set a trap to lure him here.
However, on second thought, Sky Wolf was very resistant and afraid of Avici and did not want to return at all.
Furthermore, from Sky Wolf's current reaction, he could deduce that Sky Wolf knew nothing about this!
Otherwise, Sky Wolf would not be so frightened.
It was impossible to say that he was not afraid of the legendary Bo Xun, an Imperial Emperor who had come back from the dead.
Wu Dao's true body could only try his best to remain calm and composed.
If Bo Xun wanted to kill him, he would definitely not be able to resist.
Fortunately, Bo Xun did not seem as terrifying as he had imagined. He was far from the legendary image of a devil.
"You are the seven emotions, right?"
Bo Xun said softly.
Back then, the Demon King of Seven Emotions became an artifact spirit. In this life, he was reborn with the body of Sky Wolf. Bo Xun could tell at a glance!
"Y-Yes, it's me."
Sky Wolf replied with a trembling voice.
"Just Now, you're calling me Old Master. Does that mean that you already have a new master?"
Bo Xun asked with a smile, as though he was not angry.
Sky Wolf shuddered.
Although Bo Xun was smiling, Sky Wolf was so frightened that he was about to cry!
"O-Old Master, I thought that you had already died, so …"
Sky Wolf's voice had a hint of sobbing as he hurriedly explained, "If I knew that you were still alive, I would definitely not betray you and find another master!"
"It's nothing."
Bo Xun waved his hand gently and said with a smile, "It's your fortune to be able to regain your freedom and cultivate anew. Why would I blame you?"
Sky Wolf was stunned for a moment. The fear in his eyes did not diminish at all as he lay on the ground obediently, not daring to move.
"You are the current master of the seven emotions, right?"
Bo Xun turned his gaze towards Wu Dao's true body and asked with a smile.
"Yes,"
Wu Dao's true body hesitated for a moment before nodding and bowing. "I am Araki Takeshi. Greetings, senior."
"There's no need to stand on ceremony,"
Bo Xun nodded slightly with a look of admiration in his eyes. "You're able to withstand the power of six desires in the Ketu Saber at such a young age. Truly, the younger generation will surpass us in time."
"It's not a disgrace for the seven emotions to be able to follow you from now on."
Wu Dao's true body was stunned.
The Bo Xun before him looked more like a benevolent elder without any hint of ferocity. His gaze was gentle and he was magnanimous.
If not for the fact that he knew the other party's identity, Wu Dao's true body would have thought that the other party was an esteemed monk of the Buddhist monasteries!
Sky Wolf sprawled at the side and stole a glance at Wu Dao's true body with fear in his eyes.
He had countless things he wanted to say. However, he did not dare to act rashly with Bo Xun around. He did not even dare to think of anything else!
