"Looks like you must have guessed something!"
The Emperor of Feng Du was not surprised by Ye Xuan's shock. If Ye Xuan was really calm, he would feel that something was wrong.
Ye Xuan enunciated each word clearly as he looked at Feng Du with his deep eyes. His voice was extremely low. "Flowers and leaves grow together, and the Red Spider Lily blooms?"
"That's right." The Emperor of Feng Du nodded solemnly. His eyes were faintly red, and there was an uncontrollable excitement in his eyes.
It was an old legend.
The Netherworld was born as a result of the reincarnation of all living things. The Red Spider Lily was a flower of death, but it was also a flower of life. It was also a unique product of the Netherworld, and there was nothing too strange about it.
However, all living things had a cycle of life and death. The Red Spider Lily also had a cycle of life and death. The flower and leaf would forever intertwine, and they would never bloom at the same time.
However, there was nothing absolute in this world. Even though the Red Spider Lily contained the cycle of life and death, there would still be a day when the flower and leaf would grow together.
It was unknown when it started, but there was a legend in heaven and earth that when the Red Spider Lily and leaf grew together, this Red Spider Lily would allow one to comprehend the path of reincarnation of life and death. It could also allow one to become a saint.
However, this legend was too illusory and seemed to be nonsense. After all, a legend was just a legend, and no one could prove it to be true.
The reason why Ye Xuan was so shocked was because there was a clear record in the Immortal Scripture. If anyone could obtain the Red Spider Lily and comprehend the path of reincarnation of life and death, they would be able to obtain a supreme creation.
There were too many profound meanings in this world. Earth, water, fire, wind, wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, and even the most mysterious path of time and space. The two profound meanings of life and death were an extremely mysterious law.
Although the power of life and death could not be compared to the power of time and space, the power of reincarnation of life and death could be said to be the strongest method apart from the power of time and space. Seeing through life and death was equivalent to truly grasping one's own eternity.
Of course, Ye Xuan did not take this legend seriously. What really moved him was that he faintly sensed that the Red Spider Lily might be the catalyst for his third tribulation of the Heavenly Dao.
This was because every single tribulation of the Nine Tribulations of the Heavenly Dao was to put one's life on the line. Only by doing so could one survive the tribulation, and one's body would undergo tremendous changes.
This Red Spider Lily contained the pinnacle of life and death. It also faintly matched his current state. If he could obtain this item, the Third Tribulation of the Heavenly Dao might have arisen because of this flower.
"Who has this flower?" Ye Xuan asked in a low voice.
If there was one thing that Ye Xuan cared about the most at this moment, it would definitely be his cultivation level. This had almost become his nightmare because only by passing through the Third Tribulation of the Heavenly Dao would he have the qualifications to contend against the Saints.
"Beside the River of Forgetfulness, beneath the Three Lives Stone!"
The Emperor of Feng Du's voice was extremely low. He paused for a moment before continuing, "The Red Spider Lily has seven leaves and seven petals. At this moment, only three petals have grown and are not yet ripe. However, the profound meaning of life and death has already spread out. It is also being watched by various important figures. When this flower matures, a great battle will be unavoidable."
"As for the Ghost Emperor of the North, Zhang Heng, his cultivation level has long surpassed mine. He has even joined forces with the other three Ghost Emperors to snatch this flower. Just now, Registrar Wang was one of his people. However, I am alone, so I can only bear with Zhang Heng for now."
"Although your cultivation level is Tongtian, I'm afraid the other party has already noticed that you have just killed Zhang Heng's people. They will not let this matter rest," the Emperor of Feng Du said sincerely.
"You want me to help you snatch the Red Spider Lily?" Ye Xuan's expression gradually calmed down. The corner of his mouth curled into a cold smile.
"No, no, no. You have misunderstood."
The Emperor of Feng Du hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I know that my cultivation level is far inferior to yours. How would I dare to trouble you to snatch this item for me? I only want to form an alliance with you. This Red Spider Lily has seven leaves and seven petals. I only need three leaves and three petals. The rest will naturally belong to you."
"What a joke!"
Suddenly, Ye Xuan's voice turned cold. He looked at the Emperor of Feng Du and said, "Feng Du, let's not talk about the internal strife among the Ghost Emperors of the Five Directions. Even if I had to choose, I would choose to form an alliance with Zhang Heng. After all, his cultivation level and power surpass yours. Why do you think I should form an alliance with you?"
"Moreover, don't forget that the Ghost Emperors of the Five Directions are not the only ones who covet the Red Spider Lily. There are also Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who oversees the eighteen levels of hell, Nether River Patriarch in the Nether Blood Sea, Meng Po on the Bridge of Helplessness, and some Quasi-Sages hidden in the Underworld. These people are not to be trifled with."
Ye Xuan sneered. Although he did not understand the situation in the Underworld, he knew that although the Ghost Emperors of the Five Directions controlled the Underworld, it was only limited to those below the Quasi-Sages. When these Quasi-Sages appeared, the Ghost Emperors of the Five Directions were nothing.
Moreover, Ye Xuan had met Netherworld Grandmother when he first entered the Underworld. Although her cultivation level was not as high as Feng Du's, it could be seen that the Underworld was not simple.
"This …?"
As Ye Xuan's words fell, the Emperor of Feng Du's expression changed slightly. He did not know how to persuade Ye Xuan.
Originally, although the Emperor of Feng Du coveted the Red Spider Lily, he also knew that it was harder than ascending to heaven to snatch it. However, when Ye Xuan appeared, he saw a glimmer of hope. As long as Ye Xuan joined forces with him, there was at least a thirty percent chance of snatching the Red Spider Lily.
However, now that Ye Xuan had sternly rejected him, the Emperor of Feng Du was extremely disappointed.
"However, since Brother Feng Du has told me such a secret, I will return the favor. If you and I can really snatch the Red Spider Lily, I will not treat you unfairly."
Just as the Emperor of Feng Du was in despair, Ye Xuan's warm voice sounded out at the right time. This caused the Emperor of Feng Du to be stunned for a moment before an expression of ecstasy appeared on his face. He didn't expect Ye Xuan to agree.
"Report!"
Suddenly, a series of footsteps came from outside the hall. A ghost general quickly entered the Fengdu Hall. He cupped his hands at the Emperor of Feng Du and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Four Directions Ghost Emperor has sent an invitation card to invite Buddha Qing Ming to participate in the Thousand Ghost Feast."
"Hmph!"
Hearing the ghost general's report, the Emperor of Feng Du snorted coldly and said, "They came really quickly. Send them away and say that Buddha Qing Ming is already staying in my Fengdu Hall. I will naturally invite Buddha Qing Ming to participate in the so-called Ghost Feast."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The ghost general hurriedly turned and left. Only then did the Emperor of Feng Du put on a smiling face and looked at Ye Xuan. His face was filled with flattery.
"Brother, don't worry and stay here. Zhang Heng and the others are ambitious. They are enemies and not friends. It's fine if you don't go to the Ghost Feast," the Emperor of Feng Du said.
"Ghost Feast?"
Ye Xuan muttered to himself. His eyes lit up slightly. Then, he looked at Feng Du and said, "If I remember correctly, the Ghost Feast is a grand event of the Underworld. It opens once every hundred thousand years and many important figures of the Underworld will gather. I wonder if this is true?"
"That's right. The Feast of a Thousand Ghosts was originally a grand event in the Underworld. However, it's different this time because of the birth of the Red Spider Lily. However, the Red Spider Lily will take another ten thousand years to mature. This Feast of a Thousand Ghosts is also a secret competition between the various forces," the Emperor of Feng Du said quickly.
