The Yellow Spring Hell Overlord waved his sleeves, and the three lines of words formed by the Yellow Spring Death Qi dissipated.
Yan Qingfeng and Li Zhao looked at each other and said, "Your Excellency, we'll take our leave now."
Their mission had been completed, so there was no need for them to stay any longer.
"Thank you for your hard work all these years." The Yellow Spring Hell Overlord nodded and said, "As a reward, I'll fulfill your wishes.
Li Zhao, your reincarnation will be your master's son.
As for Yan Qingfeng, your world is still in turmoil. Are you sure you want to reincarnate into that world? "
Yan Qingfeng nodded and said firmly, "I'd rather die than reclaim the human world with my own hands."
"Go." The Yellow Spring Hell Overlord did not say anything else.
Yan Qingfeng and Li Zhao's figures quickly vanished. They turned into light shadows and entered the River of Forgetfulness. Following the river's flow, they flowed down from the peak of Mount Dai and stepped onto the Path of Reincarnation.
.....
After sending Li Zhao and Yan Qingfeng onto the Path of Reincarnation, the Yellow Spring Hell Overlord turned to ask Lu Qingshan, "You want me to help you find someone in the Yellow Spring World?"
Lu Qingshan nodded.
"There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world," the Yellow Spring Hell Overlord said.
"An equivalent exchange is a matter of course. Your Excellency controls the Yellow Spring World. Naturally, you're not someone a mere mortal cultivator like me can compare to." Lu Qingshan cupped his fists and bowed, "However, if Your Excellency has any requests, please tell me. I'll do my best to fulfill them."
"You know that I have a request for you?" The Yellow Spring Hell Overlord's eyes shone brightly as he sized up Lu Qingshan.
"There are three stages on the mountain. Each stage is related to swords, and I happen to be a sword cultivator." Lu Qingshan paused and added, "Initially, I felt a sense of familiarity from Gu Yiyi. However, I didn't think much of it at that time.
However, when I ascended Mount Dai, the three illusions reminded me so many times. I finally recalled the origin of this feeling. "
Lu Qingshan's eyes shone. "Your Excellency's request should be related to Gu Yiyi. Gu Yiyi's true identity should be the Sword Spirit of a certain sword, right?"
"That's right." Netherworld Hell Overlord nodded.
Lu Qingshan took a deep breath and asked tentatively, "Is the specific situation related to what Gu Yiyi said about you taking something from her?"
Gu Yiyi had said "steal," but Lu Qingshan was naturally not that straightforward. He changed his words to "take."
Netherworld Prison Overlord pondered for a moment and said, "There's nothing to hide. Gu Yiyi said that I stole her things. If you really want to look into it carefully, it's not wrong.
Furthermore, I have no way of returning it to her now. "
Lu Qingshan was shocked.
What exactly was it that the Yellow Spring Hell Overlord, who was in charge of the Path of Life and Death, could take it without asking for permission and not return it?
"I would like to hear the details," Lu Qingshan said.
"Since ancient times, the River of Forgetfulness flows from Mount Tai and flows into the Land of Reincarnation. It connects the entire Yellow Springs World and is the lifeline of the Yellow Springs World.
To suppress the River of Forgetfulness, the will of the Yellow Springs World forged an ancient divine sword.
This divine sword was born extraordinary and is the divine weapon of the Yellow Springs World. The power of the River of Forgetfulness is added to this sword. In the Yellow Springs, this sword is invincible, "Netherworld Prison Overlord said.
"Gu Yiyi's original body is this divine weapon of the Yellow Springs World?" Lu Qingshan seemed to have understood something. He thought for a while and said, "I really can't tell that she has invincible power … but if that's the case, how did you take her things?"
Netherworld Prison Overlord smiled and said, "She did have invincible power in the past, but not anymore."
"Why?" Lu Qingshan asked.
"The thing I took from her is the power of the River of Forgetfulness," Netherworld Prison Overlord said calmly, but the information contained in his words was earth-shattering.
"Is there a way to take it away?" Lu Qingshan was surprised.
"It's a long story," Netherworld Prison Overlord thought for a while and said, "If she wholeheartedly guards the River of Forgetfulness, as the master of the River of Forgetfulness appointed by the will of the Yellow Springs World, no one can take away the power of the River of Forgetfulness from her."
"What happened?" Lu Qingshan frowned.
Lu Qingshan could not understand how Gu Yiyi managed to collapse with such an opening.
"As the spirit of the divine weapon of the Yellow Springs World, Gu Yiyi was born to be lazy and jumpy," Netherworld Prison Overlord said solemnly, "When she was just born, she could still fulfill her responsibility of guiding the reincarnation.
Later on, she grew tired of such repetitive tasks, so she used the power of the River of Forgetfulness to guide the reincarnation of the living souls. "
"As for herself, she fell into a deep sleep. She would wake up occasionally to check on the situation.
The power of the River of Forgetfulness never failed, so Gu Yiyi's slumber grew longer and longer. "
Netherworld Prison Overlord explained seriously, "Until the ancient times, she slept for an entire ancient time.
It was during this long period of her slumber that the River of Forgetfulness, which led the reincarnation of the living souls on its own, gradually developed its own spiritual intelligence.
This spiritual intelligence was the Spirit of the River of Forgetfulness. "
"A mountain cannot have two masters. The divine power of the River of Forgetfulness could not be controlled by two people," Netherworld Prison Overlord sighed. "In the end, the will of the Yellow Springs World gave the divine power of the River of Forgetfulness to the Spirit of the River of Forgetfulness, who did her job well."
Lu Qingshan thought for a while and said, "Your Excellency, are you the Spirit of the River of Forgetfulness?"
"Yes." Netherworld Prison Overlord nodded. "The one who obtains the divine power of the River of Forgetfulness controls the Yellow Springs World. Hence, I am the Prison Overlord."
"So, what do you want me to do, Your Excellency?" Lu Qingshan asked.
"As you can see," Netherworld Prison Overlord was rather helpless. "Ever since I lost the River of Forgetfulness, Gu Yiyi has always wanted me to return the power of the River of Forgetfulness to her. After all, this is the meaning of her birth."
"Your Excellency, you cannot return it," Lu Qingshan said, "How can the Spirit of the River of Forgetfulness give up her divine power?"
Netherworld Prison Overlord nodded. "Indeed."
"Do you know how long Gu Yiyi has been like this under Mount Tai?" Netherworld Prison Overlord asked again.
"How long?"
"The Middle Ages and the Late Ages." Netherworld Prison Overlord sighed helplessly. However, there seemed to be a hint of affection in his tone. "This girl is really lazy when she is lazy. However, she is also really serious when she is serious.
Although I can ignore her, letting her continue like this is indeed a thorn in my heart. "
Lu Qingshan was silent.
Gu Yiyi lost the divine power of the River of Forgetfulness because of her negligence. This was true.
However, no matter what, the divine power of the River of Forgetfulness that Netherworld Prison Overlord obtained was indeed stolen without Gu Yiyi's permission.
Gu Yiyi's existence had always reminded Netherworld Prison Overlord of this matter.
Therefore, Netherworld Prison Overlord had always wanted to solve this problem.
"Gu Yiyi's original divine weapon has the power to suppress the four seas. I want to compensate her with the power of an ocean to make up for the grievances in her heart." Netherworld Prison Overlord said slowly, "However, as you can see, the entire Netherworld World only has the River of Forgetfulness, Mount Tai, and countless living souls. Other than that, there is nothing else."
"Therefore, if I want Gu Yiyi to have another divine power of the vast ocean, I can only set my sights on other worlds."
"However, as the Netherworld Prison Overlord, I can't leave the Netherworld World. Therefore, this matter can only be entrusted to someone else." Netherworld Prison Overlord smiled. "Gu Yiyi's original body is a divine sword. Undoubtedly, it is best to entrust this matter to a sword cultivator.
Since the Late Ages, I have been looking for a suitable sword cultivator to help me complete this task. "
"In order to suppress the vast ocean, the sword master must also have infinite divine power. The sword cultivator that I am looking for must have unlimited potential and will not abandon the sword in his hand.
Other than that, he must also be someone that Gu Yiyi is willing to follow and trust.
Therefore, I set up various thresholds to screen him.
It is also because the threshold is too high that I have not been able to find a suitable person even after spending a long time. "
"That is, until you came." Netherworld Prison Overlord stared at Lu Qingshan. "When Gu Yiyi first met you, she was not wary of you at all. Moreover, she got along very well with you.
After the three realms of self-examination, I know that your sword dao heart is firm and your talent in sword dao is unparalleled in the Three Ancient Realms. You are the most suitable sword cultivator. "
"My request is also very simple. You take Gu Yiyi's body as your Natal Sword and bring her to another world. When your Sword Dao is accomplished, find her a place in the Immensity Sea," the Netherworld Prison Master said in a deep voice, "In exchange, I can fulfill your request. Besides, I can also help you find the person who brought you to the Netherworld World."
"Moreover, even if she loses the divine power of the River of Forgetfulness, Gu Yiyi's original body still possesses great power. For a sword cultivator, a good sword is a great thing. You will not lose anything."
Lu Qingshan narrowed his eyes. Netherworld Prison Overlord's words were naturally reasonable.
Which sword cultivator would not want a divine sword?
As for the person who led him to the Netherworld Prison Overlord mentioned, it was naturally Demon Prince Yuanyao who used the Geomancy Map of the Nine Underworlds to perform the World Crossing Technique.
However …
"Buzz, buzz."
Two crisp sounds of swords rang out.
Dragon Sparrow and Peach Blossom appeared in front of Lu Qingshan.
"I already have two life swords," Lu Qingshan said regretfully.
Golden Elixir sword cultivators could only cultivate two life swords. He had already reached the limit.
"Fire and wood." Netherworld Prison Overlord seemed to have expected this. He looked at Dragon Sparrow and Peach Blossom and nodded in satisfaction. "As long as they don't conflict with Gu Yiyi's attributes."
He reached out his hand and hooked it gently at the source of the River of Forgetfulness beside him. The misty green aura was hooked to his hand and condensed into a water droplet. Endless divine power lingered in it, causing one's heart to tremble.
"To show my sincerity, I'll give you some extra support." Netherworld Prison Overlord opened his hand and showed the water droplet to Lu Qingshan. He introduced, "This is the origin of the River of Forgetfulness.
The River of Forgetfulness can only produce one drop every ten thousand years. It's a divine item of the Netherworld. This drop of the River of Forgetfulness's origin can help you quickly advance to the Nascent Soul realm without any side effects. "
A Nascent Soul sword cultivator could refine another life sword.
"Of course." Netherworld Prison Overlord pressed down the drop of the River of Forgetfulness's origin in his hand. "You'll have to convince Gu Yiyi to follow you to other realms. Only then will I give you the origin of the River of Forgetfulness."
"That's reasonable." Lu Qingshan had no objections. He kept Dragon Sparrow and Peach Blossom.
"In other words, you're willing to agree to this?" Netherworld Prison Overlord asked.
"Young Master, I have no objections." Qin Yitian's voice sounded in Lu Qingshan's mind.
"I'll do my best." Lu Qingshan no longer hesitated. He cupped his hands and replied.
"Very well. I'll summon Gu Yiyi, then." Netherworld Prison Overlord had a satisfied expression.
With a thought, the dim yellow clouds and mist that lingered around Mount Tai began to surge violently.
A moment later.
Gu Yiyi appeared in front of him.
It was clear that she had yet to react to the change in the situation. She was stunned for a moment. Then, she saw Netherworld Prison Overlord looking slightly embarrassed.
"Give me back the River of Forgetfulness." The little girl immediately gritted her teeth. She glared at Netherworld Prison Overlord.
"I'm the spirit of the River of Forgetfulness. I'm interdependent with the River of Forgetfulness. Unless you destroy my spirit, I won't be able to strip the River of Forgetfulness from you," said Netherworld Prison Overlord helplessly.
"But that's mine …" Gu Yiyi immediately pouted, and her eyes gradually filled with tears. She wailed, "Why are you telling me all this …"
She understood this. She knew that Netherworld Prison Overlord would never return the River of Forgetfulness to her. She also understood that her actions were futile.
However, other than fighting a battle of wits and courage with Netherworld Prison Overlord, there was nothing else she could do.
This was Gu Yiyi's only pillar of support. It was also the method that Gu Yiyi used to deceive him.
As long as Netherworld Prison Overlord refused to see her, she could deceive him. She still had a chance to get the River of Forgetfulness back.
Now, Netherworld Prison Overlord had directly removed the protective shell that Gu Yiyi had created.
Gu Yiyi felt wronged and sad.
She could not be appeased.
She even felt a tinge of regret.
'If only I wasn't so lazy back then.'
The birth of the spirit of the River of Forgetfulness had taken an extremely long time. If she had not been so absurd that she had slumbered for the entire Ancient Era, things would not have turned out this way.
Netherworld Prison Overlord looked at Lu Qingshan. There was an almost inaudible pleading look in his eyes.
Lu Qingshan smiled helplessly. He crouched down and looked at Gu Yiyi's tear-stained face. "It's fine that the River of Forgetfulness is gone. What's there to be sad about? It's just a big river. Wouldn't it be better if we changed it to an ocean?"
"An ocean? What's that?" Gu Yiyi saw that it was Lu Qingshan. She still had an impression of this "good person". She wiped her eyes and asked.
"An ocean is the world's most vast body of water. It's much, much larger than the River of Forgetfulness," Lu Qingshan explained.
"Really? There's actually a river bigger than the River of Forgetfulness? " Gu Yiyi widened her eyes in surprise. She thought for a while, bit her finger, and said seriously, "But other than the River of Forgetfulness, I haven't seen any other big rivers."
"There isn't any in Netherworld, but there are in other worlds," Lu Qingshan said patiently. "The River of Forgetfulness is yellow. The river is full of living souls. The water is stagnant. What's there to be nostalgic about?
The ocean in other worlds is blue and clear. There are fish and dragons in it. Moreover, it's even bigger than the River of Forgetfulness. Isn't it better than the River of Forgetfulness? "
Hearing Lu Qingshan belittling the River of Forgetfulness, the corner of the Netherworld Hell master's eyes twitched imperceptibly. He opened his mouth, but in the end, he sighed in his heart and said nothing more.
"Better than the River of Forgetfulness?" Gu Yiyi's eyes unconsciously flashed with stars. She asked suspiciously, "Really? You're not lying to me, right? "
"Am I a good person?" Lu Qingshan asked.
Gu Yiyi nodded seriously. "Yes."
"Would a good person lie?"
"No."
"Then why would I lie to you?" Lu Qingshan made the final decision. "Follow me. I'll take you to other worlds and find an ocean bigger than the River of Forgetfulness. How about that?"
Gu Yiyi fell into deep thought. Her eyes wandered back and forth between Lu Qingshan and the Netherworld Hell master.
"Okay, I'll go with you." Gu Yiyi finally made a decision.
Lu Qingshan took Gu Yiyi's small hand, got up, and looked at the Netherworld Hell master.
The Netherworld Hell master's expression was slightly stiff.
He did not expect things to go so smoothly. He thought that with Gu Yiyi's stubborn personality, he would have to spend a lot of effort to convince her. He did not expect Lu Qingshan to convince Gu Yiyi with just a few words.
"Seeking Phoenix …" The Netherworld Hell master suddenly remembered Lu Qingshan's talent. He muttered to himself, "Could this Seeking Phoenix be effective on little girls as well …"
The Netherworld Hell master shook his head. He got rid of these unnecessary thoughts.
No matter what, everything was fine as long as everything went smoothly.
The Netherworld Hell master flicked the drop of crystalline River of Forgetfulness's origin with a finger.
The River of Forgetfulness's origin immediately flew out and scattered into Lu Qingshan's body.
"The River of Forgetfulness's origin that I promised you earlier will help you break through to the Nascent Soul realm," said the Netherworld Hell master softly.
An incomparably pure Spiritual Power surged out of Lu Qingshan's body the instant the River of Forgetfulness's origin fused into his body.
Lu Qingshan quickly calmed his mind and focused. He silently activated the Daoist Scripture's cultivation method to absorb this pure and vast Spiritual Power.
On his data panel, the experience points behind the Daoist Scripture's cultivation method were rising at a dazzling speed.
