Beneath the abyss, the Secret Palace of the Netherworld Spring Sect.
Yuwen Hongyang was immersed in a long river, rising and falling, circling and winding, advancing and stopping like a dream, with no laws of the world to speak of.
The water of this long river was originally turbid, as if it was immersed in the filth of the world. However, as his consciousness gradually came to an understanding, the turbidity continued to fade, turning into a glass-like clarity, as if all the filth in the world had been washed away.
At this moment, he had already arrived at the deepest part of the Netherworld River, which meant that he had already straightened out his Dao, from essence to Qi, and from Qi to spirit, he had completely understood it.
At this moment, he opened his eyes and saw that not far from him, there were a few silhouettes that appeared. These were the Qi dynamics left behind by the previous generation's sect leaders. Although these people's skills were far from his, they could all be considered seniors and ancestors, so he also cupped his hands in greeting.
However, next, he solemnly cupped his hands in greeting to one of them.
That person nodded and moved to the side, but another path appeared behind him and said, "Hongyang, you can continue forward."
Yuwen Hongyang bowed again and walked along the path. Although he was walking forward, he felt that he was going back, and in the end, it was as if he had returned to the beginning.
He looked back, and there was nothing there. At this moment, he seemed to have sensed something, and when he turned again, he saw a Daoist standing there, illusory and indistinct. He seemed to be far away, yet close at the same time. He immediately recognized the other party's identity, and with a solemn expression, he bowed and said, "Disciple Yuwen Hongyang pays respect to the Patriarch."
Patriarch Ling You said, "Since you're already here, you only need to refine the Primordial Jade to achieve True Yang. However, are you willing to place your consciousness here?"
When Yuwen Hongyang arrived here, there were inexplicably many things that he didn't know before in his memories. The Netherworld River was connected to the Divine Qi, and he could place a part of his consciousness and spirit here. As long as the Patriarch Weili was still here, no matter how strong the enemy he encountered outside, as long as his consciousness was not destroyed, he could be reborn in the Netherworld River.
This was even more powerful than depositing one's Yuan Qi ocean. As long as the descendants of Ancestor Ling You had reached the True Yang Realm, they could make such a choice. However, he was the only one who had come here.
However, everything in the world had its pros and cons. If he didn't occupy the Yuan Qi Sea, then even after reaching True Yang, his cultivation would never be able to progress. This was not something he wanted to see.
He said bluntly, "Ancestral Master, this disciple seeks to transcend. Since Daoist Master has already opened up the path ahead and can reach the heavens as a human, this disciple is willing to give it a try."
Ancestor Ling You said, "Since that's what you want, I can fulfill your wish."
As soon as Yuwen Hongyang heard this, he felt that his opportunity had arrived. With a thought, the Mysterious Stone appeared out of thin air. With another revolution, he felt himself sinking into a ball of bright light.
After a very long time, his consciousness returned to his body once more, and he discovered that he was no longer in the Nether River. Instead, he was sitting upright in his cave, but compared to before he went into closed-door cultivation, he had undergone a tremendous change.
An even greater change occurred above the Netherworld River.
This item was originally the Nether Spring Sect's ultimate treasure. Not only could it be used to fight enemies, but it could also be used to assist in cultivation. It was extremely compatible with one's cultivation method.
It was just that the past Sect Masters had their aura immersed in it, and there was even a trace of Ancestral Master Ling You's aura remaining in it. However, it was impossible to see it without a certain level of cultivation. Because of this, this item had never truly belonged to him. Whoever sat on the position of Sect Master of the Nether Spring Sect could use this item.
However, Just Now, Ancestral Master Ling You had washed away the impurities in it, and even he himself had withdrawn from it. Thus, he obtained the true authority to use this item.
These were not the only benefits. After he reached True Yang, he would definitely be able to create clones, and these clones would similarly improve their cultivation. If he didn't deal with them, they might even replace his original body. Originally, he had to deal with these himself, but perhaps because he had met the Ancestral Master Just Now, all his clones had landed in the Nether River. There was no need for him to kill them one by one. Later, he only had to turn the river to gradually wear them down, and turn them into nutrients for the Nether River.
Since he had succeeded, he waved his sleeve and went outside.
The Elder on duty outside saw some commotion in the secret cave and hurriedly rushed over to take a look. However, he saw Yuwen Hongyang's figure walking out. The aura that was originally as deep as the Nether River on his body had calmly disappeared. Instead, it was ethereal, like the vast blue sky.
The Elder on duty was stunned at first, and then said joyfully, "Sect Master, have you succeeded and come out of seclusion?"
Yuwen Hongyang nodded, "Thank you, Elder Cheng."
The Elder on duty hurriedly said, "Now that Sect Master has come out of seclusion, the Nether Spring Sect will not lose to the Qincang and Shaoqing Sects."
Previously, the Qincang and Shaoqing Sects' sect masters had come out of seclusion one after another, and both sects had True Yang powerhouses keeping watch. As one of the three major sects, the Nether Spring Sect had not made any movements for a long time, but now, they had finally caught up.
Yuwen Hongyang shook his head, "Compared to these two sects, the Nether Spring Sect is still quite lacking."
At this moment, he suddenly felt a sense of urgency in his heart, as if he could not ignore this matter anymore.
He could not help but feel it was strange. The difference between the Nether Spring Sect and the two sects was already there, and it was not something that could be resolved in a short time. There must be some other reason for him to suddenly have such a thought.
He pondered for a while. There was something that he had originally planned to do, and since he had achieved True Yang now, it was time for him to do it. Thus, he said, "Elder Cheng, please call Mo Cheng over."
The Elder on duty, Daoren, acknowledged and left excitedly.
Yuwen Hongyang came to the hall and sat down. After a while, a young Daoist walked in and bowed, saying, "Sect Master wants to see me?"
Yuwen Hongyang said, "Come closer to me."
The young Daoist acknowledged and stopped in front of him.
Yuwen Hongyang stretched out his hand and lightly patted his forehead.
The young Daoist could not help but take a few steps back. His expression was first stunned, and then he revealed a look of confusion. Then, the aura on his body fluctuated violently, and only calmed down after a while. When he raised his head again, his long hair was already loose, and his gaze and aura were completely different from before. He bowed towards the seat and said, "Feng Haiyang greets senior brother. Thank you for helping me recover my memories."
Yuwen Hongyang smiled and said, "Junior brother, since you have returned, the successor of the Nether Spring Sect will not lose to the Qincang and Shaoqing sects."
In his heart, he was very clear that since Sect Master Qin and Sect Master Yue had already become True Yang Masters, it was very likely that they would not be able to sit in the position of Sect Master for much longer. Next, they would pass their positions to Qi Yuntian and Qing Chenzi.
The Nether Spring Sect was one of the three major sects along with these two sects. Now that he had achieved True Yang, it was not very suitable for him to continue occupying this position.
However, although the Nether Spring Sect had many outstanding disciples, in his opinion, there was no one suitable to sit in this position.
Most importantly, no matter whether it was Qi Yuntian or Qing Chenzi, they were already very famous when they were in the nine continents. Thus, even if the successor of the Nether Spring Sect could not compare to them in terms of reputation, his cultivation and spirit could not be too far behind.
It was a pity that the heroes of the early years of the Nether Spring Sect were almost all gone. There was almost no one who could compare to these two. However, Feng Haiyang was different. His predecessor could be considered to be of the same generation as these two successors. Although his cultivation was still at the Yuanying level, with the full support of the entire Nether Spring Sect, it would not take long for him to catch up. After Yuwen Hongyang passed away, he would definitely be able to replace him in guarding the sect.
After Feng Haiyang was enlightened, although this body was mainly based on his original memory, he did not forget the memory that this body originally had. Yuwen Hongyang had enlightened him originally because he wanted to pass the position of the next sect master to him. Although his cultivation was not very high, he did not feel that he was not suitable at all. He said calmly, "Junior brother will not disappoint senior brother's expectations."
Yuwen Hongyang nodded and said, "I am aware of junior brother's talent. However, your cultivation and spirit must catch up as soon as possible. Only then will you be able to convince the others." After giving detailed instructions, he distributed a strand of the Netherworld River to Feng Haiyang and ordered him to go cultivate.
However, after doing this, he found that although the strange feeling in his heart had weakened a bit, it had not completely disappeared. There must be other things that had come true.
He thought to himself, "It seems that I need to check in the Realm."
True Yang cultivators all had their own residences. However, after Zhang Yan achieved True Yang, he had already integrated the Mountain and Sea Realm into his own residences. Therefore, he would not casually check in.
With this thought, he stood up and went to the back of the palace. He bowed to the Dao Master's memorial tablet and explained the reason in his heart. Only then did he release his magic power to search for the laws of fate.
In next to no time, he noticed an inkling. With a command in his heart, he'd already arrived at a place that was filled with Turbid Yin Energy, and there were countless devils floating indeterminately in the surroundings.
This was the end of the Earth Abyss. In the eyes of the people of the Realm, the Earth Abyss was infinite and could not be reached. However, for people like him who were not bound to the Realm, this place was limited.
He could sense that there was a gap here, and when he looked over, he saw an infant sleeping soundly. Its hands and feet were curled up, as if it were still in the womb.
Based on his skills, he could tell at a glance what the infant was.
It was a Devil Infant, which had been affected by the emotions of the world in the Realm, and had thus manifested its spirituality.
It was born because the spiritual energy of the Mountain and Sea Realm had improved. Not only was the spiritual energy of the Clear Energy flourishing, but it was also the spiritual energy of the Impure Energy of the Yin Energy of a higher level. Because of that concentration of spiritual energy, it was only by chance that this object was born.
If it could continue to grow, it was entirely possible that the entire Earth Abyss would develop its own consciousness. However, the conditions for that to happen were extremely stringent, and without careful guidance, it would be virtually impossible.
Yuwen Hongyang thought to himself, "So that's what I sensed. If the Spirit Gate can prosper, it will all be because of this kid!" He waved his sleeve, summoning the Underworld River. Then, a wave swept up the Devil Infant, temporarily suppressing the turbid Yin energy that had gathered on its body. Then, it was sent into the world to be reborn.
