Su Fang examined Gui Gui. Its strength had already reached the Yang Soul realm, but it was still a bit away from being a true expert. "This is something I obtained by chance. It was refined by a Devil Path expert before he died. This is the only one that survived. Fortunately, I have the True Devil Blood Plate, or it wouldn't have grown to this point."
"Haha, you have to properly use this Blood Ghost. The outside world is a world where the devil race reigns supreme. There are devils everywhere. With this Blood Ghost, you won't have to fear the devil race in the outside world. This is your life-saving trump card." The Vermillion Emperor wasn't afraid of Gui Gui, and he even took a few steps forward.
PHEW!
Gui Gui suddenly jumped off Su Fang's shoulder and arrived next to the Edgeless Sword. Its blood-red eyes stared at the formation's crack, and it used its hand to touch the faint Yin Underworld Qi that was seeping out.
"What's going on?" Seeing this scene, Su Fang stepped forward to see what was going on.
"Hehe!"
The Vermillion Emperor laughed proudly. "You and I don't have a way to deal with the Yin Underworld Qi, but this Blood Ghost is different. It can be said to be a perfect match. The Yin Underworld Qi represents death Qi, and it is also the Yin Underworld Devil Path that the devil race pursues. The devil race wants to fall into the boundless Life and Death Devil Path in order to be free. They can surpass life and death to become a true devil with eternal life." In the outside world, the devil race's true experts all control a certain amount of Yin Underworld Qi. When they use it, they can shackle Righteous cultivators in a boundless deathly stillness, allowing them to be devoured by the Yin Underworld. "
"Could it be that this Blood Ghost was refined by the Yin Underworld Qi?"
"That's right, Blood Ghosts are refined from human infants. When they are born, they fall into the hands of the Devil Path and have everything erased. Then they use the special powers of the Devil Race to refine them into bloodthirsty Blood Ghosts. It will be difficult for them to regain their normal human consciousness. It can be said that they are half-dead, half-human and half-ghost." As for those Devil Race cultivators, no matter how they cultivate, they are still living humans. They are unable to perfectly control underworld yin energy. But Blood Ghosts are different. They are half-dead to begin with, and underworld yin energy is the best power for them to cultivate. Blood Ghosts sense the special nature of underworld yin energy, and the first time they come into contact with this power, they will fall in love with it. "
"So that's how it is."
He hadn't expected the Yin Underworld Qi to have such a secret.
It was all thanks to the Vermillion Emperor. If it weren't for him, Su Fang would have been forced to stop because of the Yin Underworld Qi.
He had missed this opportunity.
Zzz zzz
After familiarizing himself with it, Gui Gui opened his mouth and sucked in strands of Underworld Yin Qi. Many demonic runes gushed out from his body.
Under the Vermilion Sovereign's suggestion, they congealed a restriction to envelop this broken formation, preventing the Yin-Nether Qi from leaking out. Then, they would wait for Gui Gui to absorb the Yin-Nether Qi and weaken the Yin-Nether Qi within the formation. Then, the two of them would break the formation and enter to take a look.
Gui Gui was growing stronger with every passing moment. Underworld energy was indeed the power it needed the most. Of course, it also needed fresh blood.
The aura of the underworld made Gui Gui even colder and colder. It had lost all its warmth. It was like a god of death. In this world, only Su Fang could order it around.
A few days later
Su Fang ordered most of the junior commanders to return to the Xuanhuang Six Paths Pagoda. Then, he ordered the Celestial Snow Flying Raccoon and the Celestial Snow Lion to control the restrictions outside the array formation. After that, he and the Vermillion Emperor prepared to activate the Edgeless Sword to attack the array formation again.
It was still the Vermilion Emperor who attacked.
The Yin-Nether Qi that seeped out of the formation was already very weak. Furthermore, Gui Gui was practically sticking close to the cracks of the formation to absorb the Yin-Nether Qi. After ordering Gui Gui to retreat, the Vermillion Emperor began to move.
He revealed a sinister smile and his eyes emitted a demonic light. After accumulating power, his fist struck the Edgeless Sword with a bang.
Cha!
The Edgeless Sword pierced another inch into the ice layer.
Bang Bang Bang
Next, punch after punch, the Vermillion Emperor displayed his divine power to the fullest. When half of the Edgeless Sword pierced into the formation, Su Fang and the Vermillion Emperor worked together.
Su Fang controlled the Edgeless Sword. When the Vermillion Emperor used his divine power again, he activated the Edgeless Sword.
Boom!
The Edgeless Sword suddenly transformed and became several times larger. Under the attack of the Vermillion Emperor's divine power, it instantly blasted open a crack that was more than one zhang long. It was just enough for a person to pass through.
Hiss Hiss
However …
With great difficulty, a large amount of nether aura gushed out of the hole.
Su Fang and the Vermillion Emperor hastily retreated in fright. A portion of their aura touched the Yin-Nether Qi and instantly turned into black ice shards. It was too terrifying.
Gui Gui excitedly pounced over and sat beside the crack, opening its mouth to absorb the Yin-Nether Qi.
The Vermillion Emperor sized it up for a while: "We have to think of a way. Look at that black tomb below, the space inside is definitely not small. The capacity of the Yin-Nether Qi is shocking. Even if we let Gui Gui absorb it, she won't be able to absorb a third of it without a thousand years. The True Devil Blood Plate, we have to use the True Devil Blood Plate to absorb the Yin-Nether Qi. It is a magnificent peerless magic treasure and also a tool of the Devil Dao. It should be able to store all the Yin-Nether Qi in the tomb below."
"This is a good idea. The True Devil Blood Plate can absorb the Yin-Nether Qi and store it inside. Gui Gui can cultivate inside day and night. My Devil Dao servants can also cultivate inside."
A good idea!
Su Fang found that the Vermillion Emperor was very useful. Not only could it help him resolve dangerous situations and deal with strong enemies, but more importantly, it could give him advice. After all, it had obtained an ancient inheritance and knew things that even old antiques like the Lord of Five Poisons and Li Zeqing could not compare to.
Even the Seven Star Child could not compare to the Vermillion Emperor.
Gui Gui greedily absorbed the Yin-Nether Qi. Su Fang activated the True Devil Blood Plate and sent a thought to Gui Gui.
Gui Gui controlled the True Devil Blood Plate and coiled it above the crack, absorbing the Yin-Nether Qi together with the True Devil Blood Plate.
"Not simple!"
They had to wait for half of the Yin-Nether Qi to dissipate before they could enter the tomb.
Thus, the Vermillion Emperor and Su Fang quietly waited on the side.
The two of them had been using their senses to pay attention to the Yin-Nether Qi's movements.
The Vermillion Emperor suddenly discovered something: "As the Yin-Nether Qi weakens, the aura from the depths of the tomb is leaking out. There is a faint aura of the Zhuo Tian Realm's origin."
"The Zhuo Tian Realm's origin? I am very curious. Where did this Yin-Nether Qi come from?"
Could it be that he was going to obtain another origin treasure?
But Su Fang still wanted to know more. Only by understanding the tomb could he obtain the true treasures.
"From This King's point of view, we can confirm that the master of the tomb is a Devil Path Sovereign, or a True Devil. That's because the Yin-Nether Qi proves this point."
"In truth, This King was also thinking about this point. At first, he didn't understand. The Zhuo Tian Realm is only a small world, not a world occupied by the Devil Path. Why would there be such a terrifying tomb filled with Yin-Nether Qi? But now, it seems that this must be a Devil Path expert who had grasped Yin-Nether Qi before his death. After his death, his Devil Path energy began to devour everything here. Then, as his body decayed and his Devil Path energy settled down, the Yin-Nether Qi continued to increase over the years until it finally reached this height."
The Vermillion Emperor really did give Su Fang a reason to believe him.
He continued, "Furthermore, this devil is a native of the Zhuo Tian Realm, not a Devil Path Sovereign from a small world. That's because he grasped the Zhuo Tian Realm's origin. From the Yin-Nether Qi and the fact that he used the Extreme Yin Ice Vein to suppress the tomb, this Devil Path expert's strength must have reached the heavens. Adding on the fact that the Yin-Nether Qi has reached such a height, it must not have been easy for it to form. That means it must have experienced an unimaginable amount of time."
"In other words, this tomb must have some shocking treasures." Su Fang finally understood.
"Hehe, of course. I didn't expect there to be such a tomb beneath the Forbidden Snowy Forest. It's not inferior to a Dao item. Let This King sense it for a bit longer. Perhaps he'll be able to discover even more secrets."
The Vermillion Emperor began to sense it. Some insignificant demonic qi seeped into it.
Zi zi
Su Fang was also sensing it. His great perfection hearing allowed him to hear faint sounds that ordinary people couldn't.
With his keen senses, he found the source of the sound. It came from the ice not far from the crack in the formation that was slowly melting.
It was extremely slow, almost impossible to see. But the ice was truly melting.
He had the Vermillion Emperor come over to take a look. His expression instantly changed.
Then he looked inside the crack and suddenly said nervously, "It's over, it's over."
"How is it over?" Su Fang didn't understand. In the current situation, all they had to do was wait for the True Devil Blood Plate to absorb all the yin energy. Then they could go in and fight for the treasure.
"Let This King think about it and dig out more memories of this world."
The Vermillion Emperor sat cross-legged, appearing very uneasy.
After a while, he frowned and analyzed, "I think … I think this formation really isn't simple. It far surpasses our previous imaginations."
"Isn't it just the tomb of an ancient Devil Dao Sovereign?"
"Look, there's quite a bit of ice in the surroundings. It's about to melt. Why is it that the ice layer hadn't melted before? Why did it only begin to melt after absorbing a large amount of yin energy?"
"It really doesn't make sense."
"Just now, This King sensed a powerful cold Qi from the tomb's aura. It perfectly cooperated with the yin energy. Furthermore, there's also a powerful origin aura. It's even stronger than the Zhuo Tian Realm's origin within your body."
"What does that mean?"
"It means this tomb's aura is connected to the Forbidden Snowy Forest."
"I don't understand even more. The tomb was originally built in the Forbidden Snowy Forest. They are originally from the same world."
"This King doesn't mean that. Look, the surrounding ice is melting, and the cold Qi is disappearing. Furthermore, it's not the tomb, but the outer layer of ice. This means that the yin energy in the tomb is weakening, causing the outer layer of ice to melt. There's only one explanation. This tomb might be where most of the yin energy in the Forbidden Snowy Forest's origin is located."
"You mean that this tomb is equivalent to the origin of all the yin energy in the Forbidden Snowy Forest? How can it be just a tomb? How can it support the entire Forbidden Snowy Forest?"
Now, he understood.
After understanding, Su Fang's eyes and face were filled with disbelief.
Origin.
The Heavenly Gourd Domain's origin was the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree. Without the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree, the Heavenly Gourd Domain's spirit energy would completely disappear. In the end, that place would become an ordinary territory.
The Forbidden Snowy Forest also had an origin.
If the tomb under their feet was the origin, once the yin energy and all kinds of energy inside disappeared, the Forbidden Snowy Forest would slowly be affected. After a long time, this place would no longer be called a natural stronghold.
Su Fang suddenly became serious. "Vermillion Emperor, if there's really such a possibility, we can't destroy the origin of the entire Forbidden Snowy Forest for the sake of seizing the treasure. After many years, the situation here will change and everything will disappear. This is the power of nature. I feel that it's better not to absorb the soul of nature. We can't cause all the living beings in this territory to gradually lose everything for our own benefit."
"That's true. Humans, Demons, and Devils all rely on nature to be born. Without nature, there would be no world. How can there be life? This King might be a Demon, but he also thinks about the countless Demon Clans that live in this world. No matter if it's an ordinary animal or a Big Goblin, we can't cause them to have no path to walk."
He didn't expect that Vermillion Emperor would also say something at this moment that would completely change Su Fang's view of him.
Concerns the Common People
Humans, Demons, and Devils are all part of the common people.
The majority of lifeforms would choose to protect the common people at this time.
"However, we still have a way. Let This King think about it. We can't let such a huge opportunity go to waste." The Vermillion Emperor once more had an idea.
