Shi Tianhao glanced at Xiao Yan and immediately nodded. "Eldest Senior Brother, after this incident, you have made great progress in refining the Netherworld Sea. However, you should still be careful."
As he spoke, Shi Tianhao opened his palm and used the secret key of the Netherworld Sea that Lin Feng had left for him. Two beams of light, one purple and one red, shot into the sky and opened the door to the Netherworld Sea.
Then, he and the Great Celestial Wheel were received by the door and left the Netherworld Sea.
After losing Shi Tianhao's guidance, although the raging tide in the Netherworld Sea was still abnormally violent, its seemingly endless momentum also stopped.
The further the Life and Death Underworld Dao Fruit refined Evil Soul was from the owner of the Dao Fruit, the greater the drop in strength.
At this moment, the King Of The Underworld had already left the Netherworld Sea. Yan Xinghe's aura immediately started to weaken.
Under the impact of the raging tide, Yan Xinghe's Yuan Spirit, which was in front of Xiao Yan, suffered heavy injuries and became abnormally weak.
Because the power of the Netherworld Sea surrounded him, it formed a disguised imprisonment effect. Not only could Yan Xinghe's Evil Soul not leave the Netherworld Sea with the King Of The Underworld, the Life and Death Underworld Dao Fruit refined from his Evil Soul was also blocked by the domain power and left in the Netherworld Sea.
With a thought from Xiao Yan, the raging tide gradually calmed down. Although the Netherworld Sea still looked like it was doomsday, the ominous omen that seemed like the end of the world had finally disappeared.
At this moment, the calamities and tribulations in the Netherworld Sea started to encircle and suppress the void storms that rushed in.
The Netherworld Sea was connected to the Empty Sea. The abnormally terrifying domain crack no longer expanded. Instead, it constantly twisted and started to gradually shrink.
The domain power of the Netherworld Sea started to repair its damage. During this process, many calamities and tribulations flowed out of the Netherworld Sea and disappeared into the dark void.
As the void storms that rushed into the Netherworld Sea gradually dissipated, the huge crack also gradually healed until it disappeared.
Heavenly Calamity no longer manifested its true form. It was once again shrouded by a dark red light and turned into a red pillar of light that looked over the Netherworld Sea.
After the previous battle, the world around the red pillar of light had been reduced to nothing. A dangerous place like the Netherworld Sea required a long time to transform.
And where everyone was previously, the ring-shaped domain formed by the many Netherworld Sea Realms, had almost ceased to exist after the previous battle.
As time and space changed, the ring-shaped spatial domain completely disappeared, and the Dark Sea Realm and Middle Realms from before also disappeared without a trace. Only an independent Small World, like an atmospheric bubble, was near the red pillar of light.
This world was the first world among all the worlds within worlds. It was also the world where Wen Chiyang had lived when he fell into the Netherworld Sea in the past.
After Xiao Yan entered this world, he saw a Life and Death Netherworld Dao Fruit appear in the void, and Yan Xinghe's figure appeared.
As the half-black, half-white Life and Death Nether Dao Fruit spun, Yan Xinghe's figure shifted from the black side to the white side. Then, he stepped out of the Dao Fruit.
At this moment, Yan Xinghe's aura was much weaker. Although the tide had subsided, he had still been seriously injured. If not for the tide subsiding, he would have died on the spot.
Even so, he, who had returned to the world through the Life and Death Nether Dao Fruit, had become extremely weak. The Life and Death Nether Dao Fruit that had refined his Evil Soul had shattered and ceased to exist.
Without the Dao Fruit, Yan Xinghe, who had been refined into an Evil Soul, was like a tree without roots. Although he still existed in the world, he was not far from disappearing completely. Unless the King Of The Underworld personally activated another Netherworld Dao Fruit to refine him before he completely disappeared.
But the King Of The Underworld had already escaped to the Spirit Sea. The fate that awaited Yan Xinghe was self-evident.
However, Yan Xinghe did not feel depressed or frustrated. Instead, he was abnormally calm. To him, complete extinction might be a form of release.
Within the Dark Sea Realm, Yan Xinghe's emotions, which had always been calm, finally showed some fluctuations. He looked around, and his eyes flashed as though he was thinking about something.
Xiao Yan looked at him indifferently. "That's right. This is where Dao Venerable Red Sun lived after he fell into the Dark Sea."
Yan Xinghe looked at him and said, "Daoist Xuan Du told me about it."
His voice was gentle like flowing water. However, there was no warmth in it. It was neither cold nor hot, as though there were no emotions in it.
Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly. In today's world, there were not many who knew the title of the King Of The Underworld, or rather, the title of the Capital Emperor before he became the Human Emperor. There were very few written records. The first time Xiao Yan had heard of the name "Daoist Xuan Du" was from the King Of The Underworld's personal disciple, Xu Anda.
In fact, everyone referred to him as the King Of The Underworld. Even the title of the King Of The Underworld when he was on the throne was not known to many.
However, as someone from the same generation as the King Of The Underworld, Yan Xinghe, who had watched him ascend to the throne as the Second Temple Master of Taixu Temple, was naturally not surprised that he knew the title of the King Of The Underworld before he ascended to the throne.
Xiao Yan put his hands behind his back. He did not feel the pressure of facing a legendary figure in the immortal dao. He said indifferently, "Your judgment as an Emperor is really not that good."
Yan Xinghe shook his head. "Xia Fangyu abandoned the Divine Abyss to search for the Cloud Demon first. It was unwise. It was indeed beyond my expectations. It was my mistake that caused the Divine Land to become a threat."
He only mentioned Xia Huang, not the King Of The Underworld. At this point, there was nothing much to say about the King Of The Underworld.
Xiao Yan looked at him and narrowed his eyes. "Oh? You mean that as long as Xia Huang goes to search for Jihuang Shenyuan first, everything will be fine? "
Yan Xinghe said indifferently, "Senior Brother Wen is already in danger. There is no need to make things difficult for him."
He paused for a moment and continued, "In the future, when he returns from the Netherworld Sea, he should know that the bigger picture is more important."
Xiao Yan laughed coldly and stared at Yan Xinghe. "It is said that when a person is about to die, his words are kind. Seeing you today, I know that there are always exceptions."
Yan Xinghe's expression was as calm as before. "The Divine Land is above everything, including Senior Brother Wen, Xia Fangyu, and me."
"When Senior Brother Wen was alive, he could suppress me, Xia Fangyu, and the Cloud Demon. But when he is gone, no one can guarantee what the Cloud Demon will do."
Xiao Yan looked at him coldly. "In terms of hatred, Wen Chiyang has killed countless demons. Do you think the possibility of the demons accepting his family or killing them is higher?"
Yan Xinghe said indifferently, "When Senior Brother Wen was stubbornly leaving the White Cloud Mountain, I already tried to persuade him, but he did not listen."
Xiao Yan frowned slightly, and the coldness in his eyes disappeared. He sized up Yan Xinghe, and his gaze was much calmer, but there was a hint of danger in it.
After a while, Xiao Yan said Slowly, "Other than the grudge with Xia Huang, the Cloud Demon has never made things difficult for others in the Divine Land."
"As for the Phoenix Race, the Divine Parasol Tree Race, the Qilin Race, the Xiezhi Race, and many other demon races, they rarely made things difficult for the human race in the Primordial Epoch. Even if there were disputes, it was the human race who attacked first."
"In the Primordial Epoch, the two worlds were at odds. Even with the Saint Emperor of the demon race, there were still many demons who did not participate in the war between the two worlds."
Yan Xinghe seemed to understand what he was implying, but his expression remained indifferent. "Demons are demons in the end."
Xiao Yan stared at him without saying anything, and his gaze became even sharper.
Yan Xinghe seemed to be unaware of this. "Perhaps the Cloud Demon will side with the demon race, or perhaps not. However, I will not place my hopes on his choice, and the Divine Land will not either."
He glanced at Xiao Yan. "If I had known that Senior Brother Wen had not truly fallen, and that there was a higher chance that he could refine the Netherworld Sea and return to the Divine Land, I might have made a different decision. However, it was not because I trusted the Cloud Demon, nor was it because I feared Senior Brother Wen."
"It was because Senior Brother Wen's existence was more useful to the Divine Land than Xia Fangyu."
"However, at that time, the cooperation between our temple and Xia Fangyu was seamless. He was naturally more useful to the Divine Land than the untrustworthy Cloud Demon."
Yan Xinghe's tone was as calm as water. "Under the premise of not knowing Senior Brother Wen's exact situation, no matter how many times it happened, my choice would not have changed. However, before Senior Brother Wen died, I had failed him."
When Xiao Yan heard this, he had a faint smile on his face. "In other words, you only feel guilty for deceiving Dao Lord Scarlet Sun at the last moment. You do not have any regrets about the matter itself."
Yan Xinghe said indifferently, "Why should I regret it? I don't think there is anything wrong with my decision. "
Xiao Yan looked at him strangely. "If Dao Lord Scarlet Sun did not leave White Cloud Mountain himself, but chased you out, what do you think the outcome would have been?"
Yan Xinghe was silent for a moment.
The matter of the past ended with Wen Chiyang leaving the mountain. There was no drastic change in Taixu Temple, but there was no doubt that there was a huge commotion within.
At that time, Wen Chiyang's marriage with Cloud Demon was controversial, but there were many people who accepted and supported it. If Wen Chiyang wanted to forcefully expel Yan Xinghe and the others who opposed him, it would not have been difficult. When he and Yan Xinghe clashed, the Haotian Mirror would most likely remain neutral.
Furthermore, the Haotian Mirror had yet to fully recover. If there was an internal conflict, even if the Haotian Mirror and Yan Xinghe were on the same side, the victor would still be Wen Chiyang.
However, if the matter really went out of control, Taixu Temple would inevitably fall into discord, and its strength would decrease.
In the end, Wen Chiyang chose to go into exile to settle the dispute. He would still participate in the war between the two worlds.
After a brief silence, Yan Xinghe said Senior Brother Wen would not do that. In his heart, the most important thing is the Divine Land. On this point, we share the same opinion. Senior Brother would not sit and watch our temple fall into discord. However, he made the wrong decision regarding the Cloud Demon. "
Xiao Yan chuckled, but his smile was a bit cold. "Yeah, he's actually always been thinking about your Void Temple, thinking about his sect. That's why he only asked you not to use the Clear Sky Mirror to help Emperor Xia search for the whereabouts of the Cloud Demon during that battle with the Extreme Emperor's Divine Abyss in the ancient era, knowing of the dangers of that battle, he only asked you not to use the Clear Sky Mirror to help Emperor Xia search for the whereabouts of the Cloud Demon, and not to rely on you for protection, making it so that there is no longer any room for reconciliation between you and Emperor Xia."
"If you don't find the Cloud Demon, will you really become enemies with Xia Huang? Not necessarily. How can Xia Huang be sure that after that battle, how much of the Haotian Mirror's power is left, and whether it can find the Cloud Demon? Although Xia Huang dotes on his children, is he willing to take the initiative to become enemies with Taixu Temple? If he wants to cover it up, he can. It's just a matter of whether he is willing or not. "
Yan Xinghe did not deny it. He nodded indifferently. "Demons are demons after all. It is best to nip the risk in the bud."
Xiao Yan looked at him. "Ice and charcoal do not cook the same stove. We have nothing to talk about. You don't look like someone who talks nonsense, and you don't care about what others think. Why are you saying so much to me?"
