Shi Xuan noticed a few Lesser Chiliocosms that were beginning to collapse and destroy, emitting a terrifying aura. He immediately changed his direction and circled around from another direction. A few days ago, he was only brushed by the aftermath of similar Lesser Chiliocosms, but Shi Xuan already had the same feeling as when he withstood Mangshan Ghostly Lord's Soul Subduing Technique. He was almost unable to handle it and had a lingering fear. If he wanted to break through directly, he would need to be at least a third Deva's Blight mighty figure.
Fortunately, the destructive power of this kind of Lesser Chiliocosm was too great. It blew away the thick space-time fog around it, allowing Shi Xuan to see it from afar. Otherwise, it would be a waste if he suddenly broke into the vicinity while going around in the space-time fog.
As the journey was difficult and long, he had to make a detour in some places. After six whole days, Shi Xuan finally approached the edge of the Lesser Chiliocosm that he could see with the naked eye. He was only one step away from the secret place that emitted the remnant aura of the Six Daos Reincarnation immortal technique.
After a Herculean effort, Shi Xuan finally bypassed the collapsing Lesser Chiliocosm. In the thick space-time fog, there was an extremely barren and deathly silent broken space. The strangest thing was that the milk-like fog automatically retreated when it approached it, not daring to approach at all. This should be caused by the remnant aura of an unknown rank seven, eight, or nine immortal technique.
Not far away, where the space-time fog overlapped, there was an uncertain and poetic wind of time blowing out. The direction was this way. Shi Xuan did not dare to delay. With a thought, the Taiji diagram transformed into the Golden Paramita Bridge and emerged majestically. It passed through the thick space-time fog and landed on the Lesser Chiliocosm.
The Golden Bridge was majestic and suppressed everything. The space-time fog under the bridge immediately calmed down. Golden lotuses bloomed beside the bridge, giving off infinite light. They were sacred and solemn, blocking the remaining fog from other directions.
Thus, above the white fog, a golden bridge traversed the sky. It was transcendent and vast. The surroundings were calm. Shi Xuan stepped onto the golden bridge, shrinking the ground into inches. Because the fog of time and space was too thick, with the current level of the Taiji diagram, the amount of time it could freeze was extremely short.
Stepping into the barren and deathly silent Lesser Chiliocosm, the Taiji diagram could not hold on any longer. It turned into a Black and White Light and shrank back into Shi Xuan's Primordial Spirit. It was slightly injured, but it was not serious.
Shi Xuan had never heard of a World Devourer who had cultivated to a higher realm of cultivation. This was an extremely powerful daemonic beast that was born in the Void Universe. It was an extremely powerful daemonic beast as soon as it was born, known as a World Devourer Beast. It possessed the strength of an ordinary Heavenly Immortal or True Monarch as soon as it reached adulthood. Once it reached adulthood, it would be equivalent to a Third Celestial's Blight expert. It could devour the sun and moon, devour the world, and form a world in its stomach. However, the more powerful it was, the greater its flaws. Not only were World Devourer Beasts few in number, there were almost none that had developed intelligence. Shi Xuan had never heard of one that had reached a higher realm of cultivation.
This was an extremely powerful daemonic beast born in the Void Universe. It was called a World Devourer Beast. A World Devourer Beast that had just been born possessed the strength of an ordinary Heavenly Immortal or True Monarch. Once they reached adulthood, they would be roughly equivalent to a Third Celestial's Blight expert. They could devour the sun and moon, devour worlds, and form a world in their stomach. However, the more powerful they were, the greater their flaws. Not only were World Devourers rare, there were almost none that had developed intelligence. Shi Xuan had never heard of one that had reached a higher realm of cultivation.
"Phew, I didn't expect to see a World Devourer Beast that's about to reach adulthood. I've only heard about it from others before." In the past few days, every step had been filled with danger. The Zi Ying Sword did not dare to speak, afraid of disturbing Shi Xuan. Now that it was much safer, it naturally spoke excitedly.
Shi Xuan also felt that his horizons had been broadened. He did not expect a World Devourer Beast to appear in the Source Space of the Nine Nether World, "The universe is really big. There are all kinds of wonders."
"It's a pity that you're not strong enough, master. Otherwise, you could take it back to guard your house. How awesome would that be!" The Zi Ying Sword seemed to like the round World Devourer very much.
The World Devourer Beast brushed past the Spirit Space. Perhaps it had sensed the residual aura of the magic arts and instinctively sensed danger, so it gradually moved away.
Only then did Shi Xuan calm down and turn his attention to the Spirit Space. He sighed in his heart, "Although it's possible for a Celestial Immortal who hasn't gone through the Blight to reach here, without the guidance of the aura of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, even a powerful person at the third Deva's Blight would not be able to discover this secret place through the dense fog of time and space and the many destroyed Spirit Spaces."
The Six Paths of Reincarnation appeared behind him and rotated slowly. Stimulated, the entire Spirit Space was divided into six parts, black and white. The aura was simple and profound, and the vicissitudes of life and death were almost tangible.
However, the patterns on it were blurry, and he could barely tell that it was the Six Paths of Reincarnation. After all, it was just a remnant aura.
Shi Xuan followed his senses and walked towards the place where the aura was the strongest in the Spirit Space.
Not long after, Shi Xuan arrived at the foot of a deathly silent mountain. The further he went up the mountain, the thicker the aura became. Furthermore, there seemed to be some incomplete words echoing in Shi Xuan's primordial spirit. However, they were almost murmurs. No matter how hard Shi Xuan tried to listen, he could not hear them clearly.
The closer he got to the top of the mountain, the clearer the echoing words became, "Master … Book of Life and Death … Traces … Six Paths of Reincarnation … Main hall of the imperial palace … Path of Hell … Obtain me …"
When Shi Xuan reached the top of the mountain, a gust of Yin and Yang blew over. The Yin was like death, while the Yang was like life.
"Master, why is there nothing here?" the Zi Ying Sword asked curiously.
Shi Xuan carefully examined the top of the mountain. Apart from the echoing words becoming clearer and the aura becoming stronger, there was nothing out of the ordinary. It was the same no matter how his Six Paths of Reincarnation revolved.
Hearing the Zi Ying Sword's question, Shi Xuan said thoughtfully, "Did you not hear the murmurs?"
"No, there was only silence," the Zi Ying Sword answered with certainty.
Shi Xuan stopped the Six Paths of Reincarnation. As expected, the echoing voice immediately disappeared, and the surroundings became abnormally quiet. "Those words should be contained in the aura of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Unless I use some kind of immortal art to trigger it, I can't hear them."
Even now, Shi Xuan could not be sure whether the person who left the aura was the Fengdu Emperor or the Left Saint Emperor. With his strength, he could not tell how long the aura had been left behind, nor could he know whether the aura was left behind by chance or on purpose. From the fragmentation, it seemed to be a coincidence, but from the words "obtain me", it was more likely that it was on purpose.
That was why Shi Xuan was inclined to believe that the first part was left behind by chance. When he was about to erase the aura, he changed his mind for some reason and even added some words to leave it for someone who could use the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
"The meaning of the first three phrases should be that traces of the Book of Life and Death have been found here. It is the Life Spirit Treasure of the Tao Ancestor of Life and Death. At the same time, it is also the foundation of his Path Unification. However, it did not reveal where it is and how to find it." Shi Xuan began to guess the meaning of the words.
"The last four words are probably about something else. Using the Hell Dao of the Six Paths of Reincarnation to open the door to the main hall of the imperial palace and obtain its inheritance? Secret treasure? Or is it about the previous matter? If that's the case, it's very likely left behind by the Left Saint Emperor who has been missing for many years. " Shi Xuan could only make a preliminary guess. Of course, there might be other meanings behind these words, but the one that Shi Xuan could think of now was the most likely.
However, due to the few coincidences in this matter, Shi Xuan was not overjoyed. Instead, he was worried.
At first, Shi Xuan suspected that it was the old boatman's doing. After all, he had come to Yin Mountain to retrieve the Sin Dispelling Flower. However, a year was a long time. When and when he would set off was completely up to him. If he coincidentally met Blind Crow, Ink Ghost, and the others, it should be impossible to predict.
"Could this be the Left Saint Emperor's backup plan?" A guess flashed through Shi Xuan's mind, but he did not know if it was good or bad. However, if he wanted to get out, he would most likely have to break into the main hall of the imperial palace. Otherwise, the other ghostly lords would have found a way to send people out of the Nine Nether World.
After weighing the pros and cons, Shi Xuan made up his mind. He began to nourish the Tai Chi diagram and prepared to leave the Source Space.
…
A faint sword qi struck a patch of Yin soil, turning it to dust. However, it was in the opposite direction of Mangshan Ghostly Lord, who was sitting cross-legged in the thin space-time fog. It seemed to be a test, or a deliberate move to alert the enemy. The fog was thick, and it was difficult to see where the sword qi had come from.
"Seems like the trick you left behind is about to dissipate. However, you don't have to waste your efforts. With me guarding this place, you have nowhere to go. Why not surrender, lest you become a lost soul, or be killed. " Mangshan Ghostly Lord looked at the thick fog and spoke mildly. There was an indescribable sharpness in his voice, which actually penetrated part of the fog, and even affected one's mind.
Shi Xuan hid behind the fog, constantly changing his position. "To have a ghostly lord waiting here, I must be of great use." With the words he had learned more than 10 days ago, Shi Xuan spoke vaguely, as though he knew everything, and began to deceive Mangshan Ghostly Lord.
He could not reveal everything he knew in one go, or he would lose the confidence to negotiate. If Mangshan Ghostly Lord did not know about the main hall, then he was weaker than him. The more he spoke, the worse his mistake would be.
"Heh, why don't you tell me. Given your strength, what do I need you for?" Mangshan Ghostly Lord was not one to be trifled with. At the same time, black qi swirled in his eyes. After searching through the fog, it would be best if he could capture Shi Xuan alive. At that time, it would be easy for him to do anything.
Shi Xuan's erratic voice rang out. He only said four words: "Six Daos of Reincarnation!" His tone was confident and resolute.
Mangshan Ghostly Lord's face changed. "Who ordered you? How do you know about this?! "At this time and place, the mention of the Six Daos of Reincarnation forced him to believe what Shi Xuan had said.
At first, he was sure that Mangshan Ghostly Lord was waiting here for the main hall. Shi Xuan smiled lightly. "How I know isn't important. What's important is what you plan to do, Ghostly Lord!"
"Hmph, what I plan to do is not important. What's important is how long can you stay in the Source Space?" Mangshan Ghostly Lord sneered, returning Shi Xuan's words. Fearless. This was the confidence that came with strength!
