In the Underworld, Jiang Nan walked across land after land and saw all kinds of strange demons. When he fought with these demons, he had a strange feeling. It was as though he was exchanging blows with the Underworld God Emperor.
As he saw more devils and encountered more dangerous situations, this feeling became more and more intense!
Everything in the Underworld seemed to be ruled by a unique Heavenly Dao. It was isolated from the Heavenly Dao of the outside world and formed a world of its own. All the demons operated according to the Underworld's Heavenly Dao. They were born and destroyed, destroyed and reborn, endless.
These demons were not only formed from the Underworld God Emperor's demonic qi and corpse qi, but they were also formed from his cultivation technique when he was alive. After his death, this land became the Underworld. The scattered Dao laws changed this space, turning it into an independent existence outside of the myriad worlds.
And the demons in the Underworld were the living beings that lived in this space!
"Obviously, the Underworld God Emperor wanted to create his own Heavenly Dao and evolve his own Dao laws into Heavenly Dao. He wanted to create another universe and let this universe operate according to his own laws!" Jiang Nan thought.
In the Underworld, his knowledge proved this point very well. The Underworld God Emperor was very ambitious. In order to pursue immortality, he opened up another path. He didn't fight for Heavenly Dao fragments or Heavenly Dao treasures. Instead, he created his own Heavenly Dao laws based on his own understanding of Heavenly Dao. He integrated himself and planned to open up a world of his own!
Such methods and knowledge were rare even among the God Emperors. In fact, there were none of them!
If he could succeed, he would definitely become an immortal and become a true immortal!
"He failed."
Jiang Nan looked around at the gray world of the Underworld and thought, "If he could really open up a world of his own, escape from Heavenly Dao and control Heavenly Dao, he wouldn't have died and the Underworld wouldn't have become like this."
The Underworld God Emperor failed. In the end, the Underworld became a paradise for demons. The Heavenly Dao laws he created went awry. After his death, the emperor's tomb became a forbidden land of the mortal world. To this day, no one could solve it!
"The Underworld God Emperor also opened up a path to becoming an immortal. He opened up a world of primordial chaos and refined Heavenly Dao. Therefore, he could escape from the self-refined Heavenly Dao and escape from the five elements to become an immortal!"
The Underworld God Emperor was a failure on the path to becoming an immortal. However, he went one step further than the other God Emperors. This gave people hope.
It was because he cultivated a demonic cultivation technique that he attracted the attack of the Heavenly Law Treasure. It was also because of the attack of the Heavenly Law Treasure that he had a deeper understanding of the Heavenly Law than the other God Emperors.
Therefore, he was able to find such a path.
Although he failed, this path did not fail. If he followed the path of the Underworld God Emperor, he might really be able to become an immortal!
"Most importantly, there is a way to solve the problem of the Golden Jade Plate in the Underworld!"
Finally, Jiang Nan saw the second supreme treasure of the Great Dao in the Underworld. When he passed by a sun, countless three-legged Gold Crows flew up from the gray sun and swooped towards him.
These golden crows formed an Immortal Suppression Cauldron and suppressed him. Demonic fire burned and trapped Jiang Nan inside the cauldron to be refined!
The Immortal Suppression Cauldron formed by the golden crows was different from the real one. Jiang Nan had once been sucked into the real Immortal Suppression Cauldron. It was suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, subdued, and refined. It had a dignified atmosphere and left people with a chance of survival.
But this Immortal Suppression Cauldron formed by the golden crows was filled with demonic energy. It did not want to suppress and refine Jiang Nan, it wanted to refine him and swallow him into the cauldron!
He was trapped in the cauldron for months and almost died several times. In the end, Jiang Nan felt that his corporeal body, mana, spiritual sense, and divine soul were all refined to a higher level than before. Only then did he kill his way out of the Immortal Suppression Cauldron and escaped.
Not long after, he came before a majestic gate. This was the Gate of Hell, the second gate to the Underworld.
Jiang Nan crossed this gate and in front of him was the Bridge of Helplessness. The length of the bridge was unknown as it extended for hundreds of miles to an unknown place. It was as if there was no end to this bridge.
Below the bridge was the River of Helplessness, a river formed by the endless weak water. Many cultivators stopped here to collect the water from the River of Helplessness to create divine items such as divine water.
The Heavenly River was dried up and the Underworld River no longer existed. Therefore, the weak water from the River of Helplessness was extremely important. It could be used to create divine items such as the Extreme Yin Divine Water and the Dark Nether Divine Water.
In the river, water monsters ran amok. Occasionally, water monsters would rush out of the water and drag cultivators into the water to devour them. There were also water monsters that jumped out of the water and stood up like humans. They held weapons such as steel forks, axes and axes in their hands and fought with cultivators on the shore.
Jiang Nan even saw a huge monster with a fish head and a human body covered in strange scales skewered a cultivator on its steel fork. The cultivator was drenched in blood as it leaped into the water.
The weak water had no buoyancy and was extremely dangerous. If cultivators were to be dragged into the deep water, they would lose their sense of direction and would find it hard to escape. They would be devoured by the monsters in the water.
And on the bridge, there was also a great buddha. Golden light shone brightly around him, illuminating the light and driving away the darkness. Many cultivators surrounded the great buddha to rest.
"Kōmu, God Emperor has arranged for these great buddhas to stand guard. It is indeed thoughtful of him. God Emperor's prestige is so great that even buddhas have to listen to him."
As Jiang Nan walked past the great buddha, he suddenly heard someone shouting, "The Nine Yin Saint Dragon has come out again!"
Before the voice died away, hundreds of cultivators rushed to the sky from the riverside and flew towards the great buddha. Some of them were in a hurry to get rid of the water monsters that were fighting with them and died tragically in the hands of the water monsters.
There were also some who were slightly slower. Suddenly, there was a loud crack and the water surface split open. A rotten dragon head stretched out from the water. The dragon head was even bigger than a mountain and it directly sucked those cultivators into its stomach.
The surface of the water was as wide as the sea, and the endless waves rolled. Following which, a loud rumbling sound could be heard as a gigantic figure suddenly stood up from the bottom of the bridge. It looked down at the Buddha on the bridge from above.
Boom boom boom!
Suddenly, rotten dragon heads rose from the water like nine stamens, trapping the great buddha on the bridge and the people who were taking refuge inside.
Boundless corpse qi and yin qi attacked, annihilating the buddha light. The cold air made everyone shiver.
From the rotten flesh of the Nine Yin Saint Dragon, fish monsters crawled out one after another. They squeaked and wanted to pounce, but they didn't dare to offend the great buddha's prestige.
The great buddha on the bridge opened his eyes and shouted angrily, "Evil disciple, I'll feed you with my flesh and blood. You're not allowed to eat other scholars!"
Roar —
The Nine Yin Saint Dragon roared and its nine heads descended, biting the great buddha and tearing it apart. Blood and flesh splattered everywhere.
Countless fish monsters cried out and pounced over, hanging on the great buddha's body and biting and devouring it. Large chunks of flesh were torn off, and the scene was too horrible to look at.
In just a moment, the great buddha was eaten until only a golden skeleton was left. Then, flesh and blood rapidly grew on the skeleton and was eaten clean by the Nine Yin Saint Dragon and the fish monsters.
This happened again and again, the great buddha's flesh and blood were reborn over a hundred times. Only then did the Nine Yin Saint Dragon and the fish monsters have their fill. Then, it dived into the River of Helplessness and disappeared.
"Scholars, this Nine Yin Saint Dragon was originally my disciple. His cultivation was already at the Fiendgod Realm and he wasn't weaker than me. How could I have neglected to guard him and let him degenerate into a devil?"
The great buddha was panting and his expression was haggard. It was obvious that his vitality was greatly damaged after his body was destroyed over a hundred times. He said, "I couldn't bear to kill him and implicate all of you. I could only feed him with flesh and blood every month so that he wouldn't kill as much. At this time of the month, all of you need to leave the River of Helplessness to avoid falling into his hands. Let him eat my flesh and blood. Once he's full, he won't harm you. "
The cultivators on the bridge had just recovered from their shock and hurriedly bowed in thanks.
The great buddha said, "At the end of this bridge is the second layer of the Underworld. It's a hundred times more dangerous than this place. I advise all cultivators not to go there, lest you lose your life."
After this experience, everyone felt a lingering fear in their hearts. No one dared to cross the bridge again.
Suddenly, the great buddha saw a young man walking towards the end of the Bridge of Helplessness. His eyes narrowed and he said loudly, "Scholar, please wait. There are many dangers ahead. If you can't handle it, please come back as soon as possible."
Jiang Nan turned around and thanked him.
The great buddha thought for a moment and said, "My senior brother, Xing Dui Buddha, is guarding the second layer of the Underworld. I haven't seen him for over four hundred years and haven't heard any news about him. If you see him, please send my regards to him. If he has unfortunately passed away, please let me know. "
Jiang Nan nodded, turned around, and walked into the gray mist.
The Great Buddha sighed and continued to guard the place.
"Xing Mi Buddha, why didn't you dissuade that young man but us instead?" Someone asked curiously.
"He's about to unify knowledge and action. His Dao heart is stable. As long as he has made up his mind, no one can change his mind."
Xing Mi Buddha pressed his palms together and said, "Moreover, that scholar's strength is not inferior to me and the young scholar who entered the second layer of the Underworld not long ago. Even if he encounters danger, he should be able to retreat from the second layer of the Underworld to protect himself."
"Who is the other young man who entered the Underworld?" Everyone asked in surprise.
"The Emperor Divine Body. I once pointed out the path for him, allowing him to avoid the pursuit of a white-clothed female householder, "the great buddha said.
"White-clothed female scholar?"
Someone who had just arrived from the outside world exclaimed, "Could it be the female goddess who controls the ice palace?"
The few cultivators who followed Jiang Nan here hesitated and didn't dare to step into the second layer of the Underworld.
Jiang Nan didn't know that the white-clothed female goddess from the Ethereal Ice Palace had also arrived in the Underworld and was walking forward.
The demons that appeared in the second layer of the Underworld were much stronger than the first layer. Almost all of them had reached the height of a god. Even he had to be careful. If he wasn't careful, he would be besieged by a few demons and fall into a dangerous situation.
As he walked in the second layer of the Underworld, he was besieged many times and narrowly escaped death. After an unknown period of time, he arrived at the side of a lake. The lake was as smooth as a mirror and there was a small island in the middle of the lake. On the island sat a ten thousand zhang tall buddha.
However, this buddha had been dead for an unknown period of time. His flesh and blood had been eaten clean by something, leaving only his golden bones.
"This must be Xing Mi Buddha. I wonder what kind of demon killed him …"
Jiang Nan sighed to himself. Just as he was about to leave, his body suddenly trembled. He stared at the lake and saw a black lotus floating at the bottom of the lake. In the center of the black lotus, a dragon and a phoenix coiled!
"Dao Golden Jade Plate!"
