From Wan Gang's words, Yi Tian finally understood the strangeness of the former Netherworld Emperor's palace. It turned out that the True Spirits of the four major clans in the Four Spirits Guardian Array that he saw when he took the tiger tally had already left behind their last words to the juniors of their clans. Among the four clans, only the Black-Winged Dragon Clan ignored the contents of the last words because of their congenital population defect.
Otherwise, how could Yan Qiu, Wan Gang, and Shi Jinming sit on the treasure mountain and not explore it themselves? It turned out that they all had scruples in their hearts, so they let others take advantage of it. On the other hand, Po Yu of the Three-Headed Hellhound Clan also took the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. His clan was not included in the Four Spirits Guardian Array, so naturally, he did not leave any last words.
After solving the matter of Wan Qingshan, Yi Tian hurriedly bid farewell to Wan Gang, while he used a concealment movement technique to quietly leave the Sunken Sun Castle.
Speaking of which, he also met the Enchantress Bi Luo in the palace this time. She actually asked him to go to the Hardship Mountain to meet Qiu Mingzi. Although Yi Tian had doubts about the Enchantress Bi Luo's actions, he was more interested in her motives.
He had already met her twice, but Yi Tian faintly sensed that the Enchantress Bi Luo was definitely not simple. She should have a very important matter to look for him, but there were quite a lot of scruples that she could not say directly.
Following the guidance on the map, Yi Tian flew straight in the direction of the Hardship Mountain. It took him about a few days to get close. But after quietly spreading out his Divine Thought, he found that there was a medium-sized cultivation town 500 miles away at the foot of the Hardship Mountain.
Taking out the map and carefully looking at it, Yi Tian found that this place did not seem to belong to the jurisdiction of any of the major clans of the Infernal Court. But even if a rogue cultivator could support such a big scene, he would have long been targeted by those major clans. The three major clans of the Infernal Court would never allow such a rogue cultivator force to exist under their noses.
Previously, the Enchantress Bi Luo asked him to come to the Hardship Mountain to meet Qiu Mingzi. Yi Tian also had many doubts. After flying to the cultivator's town at the foot of the Mountain of Hardship, he stealthily scanned the entire town with his Divine Sense. Ten breaths later, the doubt in his eyes deepened. Most of the cultivators in this city were only at the Yuanying stage. There were very few Deity Transformation stage cultivators, let alone Severed Soul stage cultivators.
According to the analysis of the results of the investigation with his spiritual sense, there was the aura of a Late Divine Transformation Realm cultivator in an area with relatively strong spiritual power in the inner part of the Mount of Hardship. This was already the strongest cultivator here. Yi Tian's expression changed slightly after thinking about it. After sighing, his figure flashed and flew toward the location of the blessed land.
After passing through layers upon layers of restrictions, he arrived at the depths of the blessed land. Along the way, he could sense that the restrictions placed here were far beyond the abilities of a Deity Transformation cultivator. He was overjoyed to find the right direction.
After a short while, Yi Tian arrived at the entrance of a cave paradise. When he saw the restriction in front of him, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. This kind of barrier placed by a Late Divine Transformation Realm cultivator was like a piece of paper to him. After thinking about it, he waved his hand and launched a green light at the restriction. The light membrane trembled slightly and cracked. Yi Tian's figure took advantage of the gap in that split second to pass through and enter the interior.
After entering the cave house, Yi Tian spread out his Divine Sense again. At this time, there was only a Late Divine Transformation Realm cultivator sitting cross-legged in the main hall of the cave house. He didn't know what he was doing.
After walking into the main hall, he glanced around and found that there were spirit runes engraved on the stone walls. It was like a spiritual formation. Sitting in the middle was a male cultivator in his thirties. The spiritual pressure on his body showed that his cultivation was undoubtedly at the Late Divine Transformation Realm. However, after Yi Tian looked at him for a while, his pupils constricted. He seemed to have found some problems.
After a while, he slowly walked forward and suddenly said, "Are you Qiu Mingzi?"
The cultivator sitting in the middle slowly raised his head, but there was no surprise on his face. He waved his hand and activated the surrounding formation to envelop the two of them. Then he turned his head and looked at the empty space in front of him before saying, "I thought you would arrive a few days earlier. I didn't expect the mirror image outside the library to be able to trap you for a few days. This is really beyond my expectations."
After slowly revealing himself, Yi Tian looked at the cultivator in front of him. Since he could talk about his experience, it was undoubtedly Qiu Mingzi. Moreover, the purpose of this formation seemed to be to isolate this space from the outside world. This meant that he had something to say to him, but he had some misgivings.
After thinking about it, Yi Tian walked up and sat in front of Qiu Mingzi. Then he smiled and asked, "Should I call you Qiu Mingzi or Beauty Bi Luo?"
"Titles are just code names. Brother Yi, why are you so stubborn?" Qiu Mingzi smiled and said, "But you should call me Qiu Mingzi here."
"Fellow Daoist Bi Luo knows how to refine doppelgangers?" Yi Tian sneered. "I remember that you're Ning Kuang's second doppelganger. This doppelganger's doppelganger is quite interesting."
With that said, Yi Tian took in Qiu Mingzi's expression. When he mentioned Beauty Bi Luo, Qiu Mingzi's expression became a bit unnatural. When he said Ning Kuang's name, Qiu Mingzi's expression didn't change, but a trace of disgust flashed through her eyes.
Yi Tian didn't expect Qiu Mingzi to have such a reaction. There must be some unspeakable secret here.
Then, Qiu Mingzi replied, "Since you know my background, why did you come looking for me? You should know that you killed two of Ning Kuang's doppelgangers. Logically speaking, you should want to deal with me as soon as possible. "
Yi Tian raised his head and smiled. "Qiu Mingzi, you're lying through your teeth. You're the one who needs my help, so why are you still probing me? Hurry up and tell me your true intentions. That way, I can consider whether or not I can cooperate with you. "
"Oh, Brother Yi, you're really bold. Speaking of which, only someone like you in the Nine Upper Spirit Realms would say something like this. I really didn't misjudge you," Qiu Mingzi replied indifferently.
"Actually, when I first saw you, I wasn't very sure." Yi Tian stopped smiling and said, "But after careful observation, I found that you have an extremely strong soul connection with Beauty Bi Luo."
"I am Beauty Bi Luo's doppelganger, so it's natural for us to have a connection. Brother Yi's explanation seems a little unsatisfactory," Qiu Mingzi said.
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist, you don't seem to understand what I mean." Yi Tian held his breath and stared at Yang Kai for a moment before saying, "I'm saying that you have a connection with Enchantress Bi Luo's soul, not Ning Kuang. Also, I have some understanding of Ning Kuang's four doppelgangers. Beauty Bi Luo is the second doppelganger, but it was refined through possession. To put it bluntly, you should be the main soul before you were refined into a doppelganger, while Beauty Bi Luo is just a doppelganger that was forcibly torn apart by Ning Kuang. "
Hearing this, Qiu Mingzi's face revealed a hint of surprise. After three breaths of time, she returned to normal and said, "Oh, Brother Yi, why do you say that?"
"I also learned this from the doppelganger of the previous Netherworld Great Emperor. Speaking of which, I also admire Ning Kuang for being so persistent in collecting the doppelganger scattered all over the Upper Spirit Nine Realms," Yi Tian said.
"He is a person with a strong mind, and he is the reincarnation of a great expert. Naturally, he is different from ordinary people," Qiu Mingzi said.
"Then let me guess. This body of yours shouldn't be your main body, but your main soul should be residing here," Yi Tian said with a serious expression, "Your main body should still be Beauty Bi Luo, but before you were refined into a doppelganger by Ning Kuang, your main soul had already thought of a way to escape, so it waited for an opportunity to escape in advance."
Hearing this, Qiu Mingzi snapped her fingers and said, "Fellow Daoist Yi's ingenuity is truly admirable."
"That's not all," Yi Tian said again, "I think that although your main body was refined by Ning Kuang, your Soul was fortunately preserved. After all, you are different from the Netherworld Child in that you were not directly refined from his doppelganger."
"It seems that you have already met the Netherworld Child, so you can come to this conclusion," Qiu Mingzi said.
"It can't be considered an official meeting, I just saw him a few times from afar," Yi Tian said with a smile.
"To be able to come to such a conclusion with just a few glances, it shows that Fellow Daoist Yi's vision is indeed as sharp as a torch," Qiu Mingzi praised, "Then look at me, what is the difference between me and the Netherworld Child?"
From his tone, Yi Tian knew that his guess was basically not far from the truth, but it was still far from a cooperation. At least he still didn't know what Qiu Mingzi was planning. It was not difficult to take back his doppelganger, but it was not easy to take back the main body.
After thinking about it, Yi Tian's mouth twitched and said, "I think you set up a barrier to isolate this place from the outside world because you don't want our conversation today to be heard by others."
"Who do you think will notice it?" Qiu Mingzi also raised her eyebrows and asked.
"Blue Sky Enchantress, and Ning Kuang's main body in the Nether Realm," Yi Tian said bluntly without thinking, "As far as I know, although the doppelganger can't detect the main soul's every move, that's when the main soul is stronger than the doppelganger. But it's different for you. Your cultivation is too low, and your every move will be detected by the doppelganger. That's why you set up such a formation to isolate me. I wonder if I'm right? "
"Brother Yi is really amazing." Qiu Mingzi nodded with a solemn expression and replied, "You have roughly guessed the purpose of me looking for you. However, I would still like to explain it in detail. Please calm down and listen to me, Fellow Daoist. "
"Just say it," Yi Tian replied.
Immediately, Qiu Mingzi described the cause and process of the matter. As he had guessed before, Blue Sky Enchantress was originally Ning Kuang's concubine, but that was before the Unification Stage.
After her cultivation was promoted to the Unification Stage, she was targeted by Ning Kuang as a candidate for his doppelganger. The method of refining the doppelganger was to erode the soul as he said. That was to erase the original doppelganger's soul, then Ning Kuang would invade his own soul to regain control of the body.
The predecessor of Blue Sky Enchantress had already noticed that something was wrong, so she took advantage of the gap when Ning Kuang was in seclusion to forcefully split her soul. Then the main soul was entrusted to the younger generation of the family. The requirement of the soul attachment technique used by Blue Sky Enchantress was not low. It required the body of a descendant with the bloodline of the sect master.
In her clan, other than her, the cultivation level was at most at the Soul Formation Stage. Compared to the long lifespan of a cultivator at the Unification Stage, Qiu Mingzi was already the body of Blue Sky Enchantress' main soul after the third possession.
Hearing this, Yi Tian looked at Qiu Mingzi in front of him and thought to himself, "No wonder I noticed that the compatibility between her soul and body is not high, but they are inextricably linked. It seems that if this continues, Blue Sky Enchantress won't have enough descendants after a few more possessions. Then her purpose of looking for me this time is naturally very clear. She wants to take back the body of the original body to deal with Ning Kuang. Relying on her own strength alone is tantamount to a fool's dream, so she can only patiently lurk in the Infernal World and wait for the opportunity to come. My continuous attacks against Ning Kuang's two clones have given her hope. "
After listening to Qiu Mingzi's narration, Yi Tian sorted out his thoughts in his mind and then said seriously, "Speaking of which, there are many loopholes in your story. It seems a little far-fetched to ask me to cooperate with you wholeheartedly."
Unexpectedly, Qiu Mingzi's face was not surprised at all. She thought for a while and replied, "Same here. With Brother Yi's strength, I'm also a little worried. After all, the strength that my main soul can exert now is not even at the late stage of Doppelganger Realm. Speaking of which, if we really cooperate, I don't even have the qualification to sit at the negotiating table."
"It's good that you know," Yi Tian said, "With your current situation, I can deal with you with just a move of my finger, but don't worry, I won't do that. I believe that you must have come prepared when you asked me to come. If you can't give me any information that I think is valuable, then there's no need for our cooperation to continue. "
"I know that you want to deal with Ning Kuang, and I'm the only one besides the Netherworld Boy who knows the situation and whereabouts of his original body. I wonder if this information is valuable to you?" Qiu Mingzi smiled.
Hearing this, Yi Tian's expression did not change, but a trace of surprise inadvertently flashed across his eyes. After all, the location of Ning Kuang's original body had always been a mystery. The first thing he needed to do to deal with him was to determine the location of his original body. After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "You really do have the capital to continue cooperating with me. Alright, I agree to form an alliance with you to deal with Ning Kuang."
Hearing this, Qiu Mingzi's face lit up. She then took out a jade slip and handed it over, saying, "I've written the details on it. Brother Yi will know when you see it."
"Aren't you afraid that I'll go back on my words and go back on my word after getting the jade slip?" Yi Tian teased.
"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid that you'll go back on your word," Qiu Mingzi said without changing her expression, "But based on my understanding of you, as the Sect Master of the Lihuo Palace in the Spiritual World, you can form alliances with many people after coming to the Infernal World. Even people like Shi Jinming and Wan Gang can secretly form an alliance with you, which means that your reputation is extremely good. Moreover, my cultivation base is not high, but I think that I still have a good eye for people. "
