"The Red Spider Lily is the Flower of the Underworld, also known as the Flower of Death. When the flower blooms, there are no leaves, and when the leaf blooms, there are no flowers. Legend has it that if the flower and leaf bloom at the same time, this flower can make a person become a saint immediately because it contains the Path of Reincarnation."
The Nether River Patriarch said in a low voice. He paused slightly and looked at Ye Xuan before continuing, "Moreover, this legend might not be true because there has never been a Red Spider Lily that blooms at the same time. Where did you get this information from?"
After hearing the Nether River Patriarch's words, Ye Xuan slowly told him about his conversation with the Emperor of Feng Du. This also made the Nether River Patriarch fall into deep thought.
"Although the Ghost Emperors of the Five Directions are nominally in charge of the entire Underworld, they are not the highest in the Underworld. There are only a few people who are truly terrifying. The Emperor of Feng Du's words can't be fully trusted," the Nether River Patriarch said in a low voice.
"Meng Po?" Ye Xuan whispered.
"Yes, Meng Po. This person is not simple."
The Nether River Patriarch nodded solemnly and then paced back and forth. "Meng Po has appeared on the Bridge of Helplessness ever since the Underworld was established. From the Primordial Age to the present, she has been sending the dead to reincarnate. Even I don't know where she came from. This person's origin can be said to be extremely mysterious."
"As expected!" Ye Xuan murmured with a strange look in his eyes.
"Could it be that you know this person's origin?" Looking at the strange look that flashed across Ye Xuan's face, the Nether River Patriarch was stunned and questioned.
"I'm not sure if it's her, but if she's really that person, why has she been staying in the Underworld? What's her purpose?" Ye Xuan murmured.
Looking at Ye Xuan muttering to himself, the Nether River Patriarch was extremely helpless. He knew that Ye Xuan must know something, but since he did not want to say it, he did not continue to ask.
"No matter what, the Red Spider Lily is about to bloom. Regardless of whether this item can make one a Saint, the Law of Life and Death it contains cannot be wrong. This item is also of great use to me, so we should work together." Ye Xuan's thoughts turned and he spoke to the Nether River Patriarch in a low voice.
"What benefits can you give me?" The Nether River Patriarch asked bluntly. He looked at Ye Xuan with a burning gaze.
"Benefits?"
Ye Xuan smiled. His smile was very sinister, so sinister that the Nether River Patriarch was stunned on the spot. A bad feeling grew in his heart.
"Oh, Styx, do you know what kind of situation you're in right now?" Ye Xuan paced back and forth beside Styx Patriarch, the smile on his face widening.
"Ye Xuan, what do you mean?" The Nether River Patriarch's expression changed slightly as he looked at Ye Xuan warily.
"Styx, it seems like you still don't understand what kind of situation you're in right now!"
Ye Xuan pretended to sigh and said, "The Two Sages of the West already know that the Primordial Violet Vapor is in your hands. Back then, when you helped me fight the Ancient Demon Court, you offended Nüwa and Yuanshi. Even if you hide in the Nether Blood Sea and don't come out, you will face the wrath of the Saints sooner or later.
"And don't forget that the so-called Blood Sea will not dry up and the Nether River will not die. This is just a saying. It's not that the Saints can't kill you. It's just that doing so will cause too much of a commotion.
"And this is just one of the reasons. If my identity is exposed, the Two Sages of the West will be the first to not let you off. At that time, not only will you die, but your Asura Clan will also disappear," Ye Xuan said tirelessly.
"Are you threatening me?" The Nether River Patriarch's expression was as gloomy as water. He looked at Ye Xuan hatefully.
Ye Xuan slowly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no. Why haven't you thought it through, Nether River?"
"You will never be able to step into the Saint Realm. Your only hope is me. As long as I can become a Saint, the Six Great Saints will naturally not dare to do anything to you. Moreover, don't forget that if I become a Saint and join forces with the Tongtian, other than Hong Jun, who in the Three Realms will not act according to our wishes?" Ye Xuan said with a smile.
"Ye Xuan, it seems like you have me under your control!" The Nether River Patriarch said angrily, but his words were filled with helplessness.
It was also at this moment that the Nether River Patriarch suddenly came to his senses. It turned out that when Ye Xuan lent him the Primordial Violet Vapor, he had fallen into his trap.
It would be fine if he could become a Saint with the Primordial Violet Vapor, but he did not have the opportunity to become a Saint. Now that he was in a dilemma, he could only follow Ye Xuan to the end.
"Nether River, you are a smart person. You should know what to do," Ye Xuan said solemnly.
"What do you want me to do?" The Nether River Patriarch sighed. He knew that he could only choose to cooperate with Ye Xuan. There was no other way.
"You are the Nether River Patriarch, the ruler of the Asura Clan, and a big shot in the Underworld. I need you to accompany me to the Ghost Feast and find out all the hidden threats in the Underworld. Moreover, I must obtain the Red Spider Lily," Ye Xuan said in a deep voice.
"I have already told you that the legend of the Red Spider Lily is fake. No one can prove the use of this flower. Now that you have taken back the Primordial Violet Vapor, you can definitely become a Saint through virtue if you focus on comprehending the Primordial Violet Vapor. Why do you still covet the Red Spider Lily?" The Nether River Patriarch frowned and said.
"Become a Saint through virtue?" Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes and his expression was slightly gloomy.
Ye Xuan would not tell the Nether River Patriarch that if he wanted to become a Saint through virtue, he could do it now. As long as he drew the Primordial Violet Vapor into his body and refined the Five-Colored Divine Stone to patch up the sky, he would immediately become the seventh Saint.
Become a Saint!
This was a great temptation for Ye Xuan. However, what he wanted was not to become a Saint through virtue, but to prove his Dao through strength and become the Saint of all Saints.
Becoming a Saint through virtue would only be his last resort. He would never choose this path unless he had no other choice.
"Ye Xuan, I have to remind you that the forces in the Underworld are complicated. Meng Po is only one of them. There is another person you must pay attention to," the Nether River Patriarch said while Ye Xuan was deep in thought. This made Ye Xuan look up.
"Who?"
"The last of the Ten Kings of Hell, the King of Cakravarti!" The Nether River Patriarch said solemnly.
"The King of Cakravarti?"
Ye Xuan frowned. It was not that he was unfamiliar with this name. However, the Ten Kings of Hell were merely Daluo Jinxian's cultivation base. Could the King of Cakravarti be different from the other nine Kings of Hell?
"The other nine Kings of Hell are merely Daluo Jinxian and have to listen to the orders of the Ghost Emperors of Five Directions. However, the King of Cakravarti is different. He has been guarding the Six Paths of Reincarnation since ancient times and no one has ever seen him in action. He is as mysterious as Meng Po. Moreover, I suspect that he is closely related to Meng Po," the Nether River Patriarch said solemnly.
"Things are getting more and more interesting!" Ye Xuan muttered to himself.
What happened next was very simple. In the Unholy Blood Sea, the Nether River Patriarch and Ye Xuan talked for three days and three nights and explained the situation of the Underworld to Ye Xuan.
