After dealing with the Innate Spiritual Plant 'Purple Dragon King Ginseng', Yi Tian rested for a while and waited. He didn't expect Yan Qiu and the other two to deal with a severely injured Wu Jue.
When Wan Gang returned, he brought back the news that the Netherworld Boy had swallowed Wu Jue's Yuanying. Fortunately, the three of them had beaten Wu Jue to a pulp, and they managed to snatch his storage ring first.
However, because the Netherworld Boy suddenly attacked, the three of them couldn't do their best. Although they divided Wu Jue's spiritual treasures, they didn't kill his Yuanying. Moreover, after absorbing Wu Jue's Yuanying, the Netherworld Boy's cultivation level soared to the level of a quasi-Mahayana cultivator. He captured Shi Jinming in an instant.
Unexpectedly, the Netherworld Boy was very far-sighted. He let Wan Gang and Yan Qiu return to inform them, while his original body slowly came from behind.
After learning about the cause and effect of this matter, Yi Tian fell into deep thought. It wasn't until his Divine Sense detected the Netherworld Boy and Shi Jinming that he came up with a plan.
After the two of them confronted each other in the air, the Netherworld Boy finally said the conditions he wanted. It was similar to what he had expected. The problem was how to get rid of the problem of the original body, and then be reborn into an independent original body.
As for Yi Tian, he gave a corresponding reply. The 'First Yuan True Water' could be used as one of the bargaining chips. As for working together to deal with the Innate Spiritual Plant 'Purple Dragon King Ginseng', he couldn't promise. The reason was very simple. After Yi Tian told him the reason, the Netherworld Child was naturally unwilling to accept it.
However, after seeing the small section of the 'Purple Dragon King Ginseng', he showed a hesitant look on his face. After all, what he said was reasonable. What the Netherworld Boy wanted was a complete body that could store his Yuanying and Soul Power.
Speaking of which, he didn't dare to use this body anymore. Who knew if Ning Kuang had left any hidden tricks when he refined this body? If he discovered that the Netherworld Child had any thoughts of rebellion, he could directly subdue him.
After thinking for a long time, the hesitation on Netherworld Boy's face did not lessen. Instead, he stared at Shi Jinming for a long time before asking, "If that's the case, then the price you gave me fits my requirements. How about it? Do you want to exchange now?" After saying that, he lifted Shi Jinming's body with his left hand.
However, Yi Tian waved his hand and said, "There's no rush. It won't be too late to exchange after we leave this' Stone Soldier Eight Formations'. I'm still worried that you'll continue to cause some commotion here. At that time, it won't be a good thing if the formation collapses."
"Alright, we'll do as you say. Once we're out of the formation, we'll hand over the person and the herbs," the Netherworld Boy replied.
Seeing this, Yi Tian heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he lowered his head and transmitted his voice to the people below. After a while, Yan Qiu and Wan Gang quickly flew over and stood next to him. Yi Tian explained the details of his negotiation with the Netherworld Boy. After hearing this, the two of them sighed. After all, being able to save Shi Jinming without shedding a drop of blood was already the best plan. They didn't have the ability to fight against the Netherworld Boy anymore.
After a while, Yi Tian led the group, followed by Yan Qiu and Wan Gang, flew towards the eye of the formation. As for the Netherworld Boy, he walked at the back. At this moment, he was not afraid at all. He quickly caught up with Shi Jinming in his hand.
After returning to the bush, Yi Tian formed a seal and sent three rays of spirit force into the trunk of the ancient tree. Crackling sounds came from inside the ancient tree. After three seconds, a three-foot-wide hole appeared in the trunk of the ancient tree. After a flash of white light, a door of light appeared.
Yi Tian said, "Wan Gang, Yan Qiu, you two go first. You can leave when you get outside. I'll deal with the rest of the matters. After I save Shi Jinming, I'll come back to meet you guys. "
"After this' Stone Soldier Eight Formations', I feel like I don't have the strength to explore anymore." Yan Qiu sighed and said, "I think Mr. Wan should have the same idea as me."
Wan Gang nodded and replied, "Indeed. Why don't we stop while we're ahead and find a way back after we get out?"
"You two are right." Yi Tian said with a smile, "You two go first."
Soon after, the two of them jumped into the light gate one after the other and disappeared after three breaths. After the two left, Yi Tian turned around and said to the Netherworld Boy, "Okay, it's only us now. You go first and wait for me outside. I'll be there soon."
"Remember your words. If you do anything behind me, Shi Jinming's life will be in danger." The Netherworld Boy turned around and carried Shi Jinming with his left hand and jumped into the light door of the passage.
After waiting for everyone to leave, Yi Tian turned around and said to the bush, "Huang Jing, I'll leave for now. Maybe one day when I ascend to the Celestial World and cultivate the supreme magical power, I'll tour this lost Celestial World fragment again."
"I hope what you said can come true." After the voice came from the bush, there was no more sound.
Yi Tian curled his lips and smiled faintly. Light flashed around his body as he used an escape technique to fly into the door of light.
After walking into the light door, he found that it was like a long and narrow passage. After flying for a few seconds, he finally saw the location of the exit. After flying out of the exit, he immediately spread out his Divine Thought and found that he was now in a dilapidated ruin. He scanned the surroundings with his Divine Thought.
Yan Qiu and Wan Gang had already left. Only the Netherworld Boy was left, carrying Shi Jinming's body in an empty space outside the ruins.
Yi Tian hurriedly flew forward and stopped 30 meters away from him. Then, he gently raised the storage pouch containing the Purple-Bearded Dragon King Ginseng and sent it over. The Netherworld Boy reached out and formed a seal to wipe away the imprint on Shi Jinming's forehead. Then he gently pushed his right hand and sent the imprint over.
After three seconds, the exchange was completed. Yi Tian searched Shi Jinming's body. After confirming that there was no imprint left by the Netherworld Boy, he let out a sigh of relief. Then he gently patted Shi Jinming's shoulder and sent spirit force into his body. After ten seconds, Shi Jinming let out a low groan. He opened his eyes and looked at himself. He said, "Where am I? What happened?"
Yi Tian briefly explained what had happened to Shi Jinming. Shi Jinming's face was filled with shame as he sat cross-legged and began to use his Divine Sense to check his own condition.
What confused Yi Tian was that the Netherworld Boy didn't leave. He looked at him as if he had something to say. Yi Tian immediately understood. He pointed at Shi Jinming's body and a ray of white light shrouded Shi Jinming's body. Then, Yi Tian turned around and asked, "Do you have anything else to tell me? It seems like you have something on your mind, right?"
The Netherworld Boy looked at Shi Jinming. His meaning couldn't be more obvious. Seeing this, Yi Tian turned around and said, "Fellow Cultivator Shi, you can leave for now. Wan Gang and the others should be nearby. You can go meet them first. I'll be there soon."
Shi Jinming was also a shrewd person. He glanced at the Netherworld Boy in the distance for a while, then he turned around and cupped his hands, "Of course I will obey your orders. I will leave for now. I will wait for your arrival with Wan Gang and the others."
After saying that, Shi Jinming's body was surrounded by a yellow light. His figure rose from the ground and flew towards the distance. Before he left, he didn't forget to hit the Netherworld Boy a few more times. This time, he suffered a big loss, but it was impossible for him to get back at the Netherworld Boy with his strength. After the battle in the Stone Soldier's Eight Formations, Shi Jinming had a rough estimation of the difference in strength between him and the Netherworld Boy. If he guessed correctly, the gap between the two would only grow bigger and bigger in the future. It would be impossible for him to get revenge, but he could only provoke the Netherworld Boy with Yi Tian here.
After the streak of light completely disappeared, Yi Tian turned around to look at the Netherworld Child. He saw that the Netherworld Child's spiritual pressure had already reached the peak of the Body Integration Stage. To put it bluntly, the Netherworld Child was just forcefully suppressing the surge of spiritual force in his body. The energy contained in the Yuanying of the True Immortal Wu Jue was definitely not to be underestimated. If he absorbed it, his cultivation would soar to the peak of the Early Grand Ascension Stage. However, forcibly absorbing other people's spiritual force to increase his cultivation was not a good thing.
Increasing his cultivation too quickly would naturally cause a lot of side effects. After that, he would have to go into seclusion for a hundred years to completely refine his cultivation. As for the Netherworld Boy in front of him, he didn't have that much time. He knew very well that staying in this fragment of the Celestial Realm was not a solution. In the end, he had to find a suitable way to get rid of the hidden hand that the Netherworld Emperor had left on him.
Thinking up to this point, Yi Tian felt relieved. He guessed that the Netherworld Boy must have something to ask of him for a private chat.
After a short moment of silence, the Netherworld Boy was the first to speak. "You are very powerful. What surprised me was that you were able to reach the Late Grand Ascension Stage in this fragment of the Celestial Realm."
"Did this mess up your plans? Or did it cause you to have no choice but to compromise?" Yi Tian asked with a smile.
The Netherworld Boy replied, "My original plan was to find Wu Jue or Zhangsun Ting to work with in this fragment of the Celestial Realm. After all, they are both True Immortals from the Lower Realm. They are much stronger than you."
"So you're saying that I didn't catch your eye before?" Yi Tian curled his lips.
"You were only the third choice." The Netherworld Boy said, "However, I didn't expect you to have the last laugh with your strength. Moreover, you were able to easily deal with Wu Jue and Zhangsun Ting after reaching the Late Grand Ascension Stage. Speaking of which, I have no reason to refuse to work with someone like you."
"I refuse to work with you." Yi Tian waved his hand and said, "I don't think we have any basis for working together."
The Netherworld Boy laughed. "Don't be in such a hurry to refuse my invitation. It won't be too late for you to make a decision after hearing what I have to say."
Seeing that the Netherworld Boy seemed to have something to say, Yi Tian was very happy. He didn't think that he would be able to trick the Netherworld Boy into revealing his trump card. However, if he wanted to work with him, he had to see if the Netherworld Boy's conditions were good enough. After thinking about it, his expression didn't change as he said, "Alright, I'll listen to what you have to say first. If you don't agree, then I won't keep you company."
The Netherworld Boy didn't seem to take his words to heart at all. His expression relaxed as he said, "I heard that Brother Yi came from the Spiritual Realm and is the Sect Master of the Lihuo Palace. I didn't expect you to come back to the Lower Three Realms and get involved in this mess."
"It's none of your business if I want to." Yi Tian said relentlessly.
The Netherworld Boy didn't care at all. He continued, "I also heard about the Great Demon Disaster War in the Spiritual Realm. Speaking of which, it was a big event that shocked the Upper Nine Realms. However, Brother Yi doesn't have anything to do with the Netherworld. Other than Wan Gang and Yan Qiu from the Infernal World who went to the Demon Realm, you might have crossed paths with them. "
"You're very well-informed, aren't you?" Yi Tian smiled and said, "That's true. Wan Gang and Yan Qiu used to be friends with me in the Demon Realm. This time, they're also the ones who invited me to intervene in the Netherworld's matters."
Unexpectedly, the Netherworld Boy didn't hide his sneer as he said, "Brother Yi, you don't mean what you say. As far as I know, you've already killed Ning Kuang's first clone in the Demon Realm. Moreover, with Yan Qiu and Wan Gang's abilities, how could they invite you, a great Buddha? However, there's only one Yellow Springs Guard's Second Elder, Ning Ruiling. "
Hearing this, Yi Tian's expression didn't change, but he couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect the Netherworld Boy to be so powerful. He could guess to this extent just from the clues.
However, his expression didn't change at all. Yi Tian asked calmly, "Tell me your opinion."
"Actually, my main duty in the Netherworld is to be in charge of monitoring the Yellow Springs Guard." The Netherworld Boy smiled and said, "If there's the slightest change in them, I'll immediately report back."
"Looks like you've placed quite a number of spies within the Yellow Springs Guards all these years. To think that you would be able to detect the movements of high-level cultivators. Looks like your men have already infiltrated the middle to high-level cultivators," said Yi Tian with a sigh.
"Know yourself and know your enemy and you'll win a hundred battles. Didn't the Yellow Springs Guard also send a large number of people to infiltrate the Netherworld Empire's capital city?" The Netherworld Boy sneered, "Unfortunately, they spent thousands of years and still couldn't find the exact location of the Netherworld Emperor, Ning Kuang's real body."
Speaking of the main topic, Yi Tian couldn't help but raise his brows. The Enchantress Bi Luo had mentioned this before. However, even she couldn't know the whereabouts of the real body. Speaking of which, he could only look for the Netherworld Boy in front of him. This was probably the reason why the Netherworld Boy had the confidence to negotiate with him today.
Looking up and smiling, Yi Tian nodded and said, "Looks like you do have the capital to cooperate with me."
