After entering the Netherworld Old Concubine's tomb, the three of them found her coffin, but when they opened it, they found that it was completely empty. Not to mention the Netherworld Imperial Genealogy, even the corpse of the Netherworld Old Concubine was nowhere to be found.
Logically speaking, even if a Body Integration cultivator's lifespan ran out and their soul entered the cycle of reincarnation, their physical body could still be preserved through some special methods after being tempered for close to ten thousand years.
Even if their spiritual power had dissipated, it would not be difficult for their bones to remain petrified for several tens of thousands of years.
However, there was no trace of the Netherworld Old Concubine's corpse in the coffin, which meant that her original body should have been left somewhere else. Yi Tian carefully compared the situation after entering the divine temple and found that this was a sealed space.
The Boundless Origin Emperor had personally set up a barrier around the Netherworld Divine Temple, so Ning Xuan should not have been able to escape with her strength.
In the end, there was only one answer: Ning Xuan had opened up another space here and hid her original body there.
Thinking of this, Yi Tian smiled and picked up the clay doll, "Do you know what kind of strange beast is depicted on the large portrait in the main hall?"
"That is the symbol of the Netherworld Imperial Family, the Netherworld Beast. This beast had followed the Netherworld Great Emperor on his expeditions across the Lower Three Realms," Jia Li replied with a slightly proud tone.
Who would have thought that Yi Tian would snort disdainfully and say, "It seems like you have some sort of relationship with him. If our guess is wrong, your body should be a Nether Beast's cub. Otherwise, why would Ning Xuan extract your Divine Soul and place it in that stone statue to guard her tomb?"
Jia Li was at a loss for words, and only after a long while did she reply, "So what if you've guessed it? Master has already passed away, and my original body is nowhere to be found. There's no point in continuing."
Hearing this, Yi Tian calmed down and said, "How about we make a deal? Help us find the remains of the Netherworld Old Concubine Ning Xuan and the Imperial Genealogy, and I'll help you find your original body. After that, I'll let you return to the Netherworld. How about it? "
"Are you trying to trick me with such a good deal?" Jia Li probed. Her voice was filled with doubt.
"Why would I lie to you? Don't forget that your Spirit is now in my puppet. If I want to get rid of you, I only need to think about it. There's no need for me to go through so much trouble," Yi Tian replied indifferently.
"That's true, but can you really let me go?" Jia Li urgently.
"You'll return to the Imperial Genealogy of the Netherworld Imperial Genealogy. that's my only condition," Yi Tian's explained.
Although Jia Li didn't understand, Yi Shun and Xiong Erbao's eyes flashed with a strange light. Such a condition naturally had a meaning behind it. Currently, the newly established Netherworld Empire in the Nether Realm was in a stalemate with the Yellow Springs Guards. If an important figure from the former empire joined the Yellow Springs Guards at this moment, the situation there might become even more chaotic.
That was Yi Tian's original intention. Although Yan Qiu had accepted the Yellow Spring Guard's request to search for the Netherworld Empire's Royal Genealogy, it had nothing to do with him.
It would be different if he saw Jia Li return the Imperial Genealogy's Imperial Genealogy. At the very least, the Imperial Genealogy's Imperial Genealogy would owe him a favor. However, his main goal was to disgust the Netherworld Emperor. He didn't mind adding trouble to the Netherworld Emperor's Imperial Genealogy.
The enemy of my enemy may not be my friend, but I can still make use of him.
"Alright, no problem. But how are you going to find my original body?" Jia Li asked.
"I'll need your cooperation," Yi Tian said with a strange smile, "Go back to the main hall first. There's no point in staying here."
After saying that, he waved his hand. The green light lifted the lid of the coffin and placed it back in its original state. After the cracking sound, the stone coffin returned to its original state. It didn't look like it had been touched at all.
Shaoqing and the other two returned to the main hall of the temple. Yi Tian walked forward with the clay doll in his hand. He stopped in front of the portrait of the Nether Beast.
Then he chanted and pointed at the clay doll three times. In an instant, a shadow rose from it and transformed into the appearance of a mutated beast.
The other two could see that the appearance of this mutated beast was very similar to the portrait of the Nether Beast on the wall. However, it had a childish aura. It was obviously a cub.
At the same time, Yi Tian stretched out his hand and launched a few symbols at the mural on the wall. Suddenly, the Nether Beast's closed eyes opened. Two white lights flashed from them and shone directly on the stone statue in front of them.
However, nothing happened after three breaths. Yi Shun asked, "Is there a problem?"
"Everything is under control. Without Jia Li's divine soul in the stone statue, it naturally can't open the tomb space." Yi Tian reached out and placed the clay doll in the position where the white light shone.
Not long after, Jia Li's divine soul shadow seemed to resonate with the mural. The next moment, a one-foot white light door appeared on the mural.
Yi Tian took the clay doll and put Jerry's beast soul into it. Then he turned around and said to the two behind him, "Follow me." After he said that, his figure flashed and went into the door of light.
Yi Shun and Xiong Erbao didn't slack off and followed closely behind. After the three of them flew in, the light door slowly closed.
After entering this space, Yi Tian found that the corridor in front of him seemed to be a bit far. After a flash of light, he used his escape technique to fly all the way. This lasted for about half an hour. After flying for nearly ten thousand miles, they finally saw the exit.
After flying out of the light gate, the three of them arrived at a place with beautiful scenery. In the distance, there was a winding path that led straight to the valley. There were several tall mountains in front of them. The spirit force around them was abundant. At a glance, it was a good place to cultivate.
Yi Tian took the two of them all the way to the valley. He found that there were hundreds of Nether Realm people living here. It looked like a small village. However, after taking a closer look, these people's eyes were empty and their movements were repetitive. They didn't seem like living beings.
Yi Tian didn't know why the Nether Old Concubine would set up such a scene here. He spread out his Divine Sense and found that these people didn't notice the three of them at all. There seemed to be some similar spirit pressure fluctuations in the depths of the village.
Yi Tian flew straight to the location of the strange spirit pressure fluctuations. He found that there was a courtyard here. He opened the door and saw that the courtyard was about three hundred feet wide. There was a strange beast sleeping inside.
The appearance of the strange beast was exactly the same as the Nether Beast on the mural outside. Needless to say, it was Jia Li's main body. However, when he looked around, he couldn't find any trace of the Nether Old Concubine.
