Overshadowing the Sky: Empress Proud of the World

Chapter 721 The Dead Don’t Die

Corpse disaster?

Everyone looked at Mr. Qi, and immediately recalled the earth-shattering battle that had taken place in the Northern Territory, deep in the underworld.

That battle had far-reaching impacts. There was no more Master Yuan Tian in the world, and the holy city that was said to be eternal also fell from the sky. The Yuan Tianshu was finally obtained by Ye Nan, and the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin also appeared in the Northern Territory, causing a sensation.

Faced with everyone's doubts, Mr. Qi took out a few broken divination chips, then took a deep breath, his expression became a little serious, and began to tell the story.

Ye Nan, Tu Daotian, Yun Yue and others looked and found that all the divination chips had turned black, as if they had been struck by lightning.

Decades ago, Mr. Qi imitated the divine fortune teller of the Shensuan Tianji Sect to try to predict and deduce some matters on the edge of heaven's secrets.

Although these matters are not as real as the secrets of heaven, they are equally dangerous. However, they are of great benefit to the growth of his Taoism, which is roughly equivalent to every tribulation that a cultivator goes through.

However, the more he deduced, the more frightened Mr. Qi became, because the hexagram that emerged in the end became more and more strange and unpredictable, accompanied by various strange phenomena, and finally even the shadow of the underworld appeared!
In the following years, Mr. Qi made repeated deductions and tried to guess the secrets of heaven many times. He had no idea how many of the divination chips he used were broken. They were all black tortoise shells passed down from ancient times and were extremely precious.

In the end, he summarized the results of a series of divinations and obtained eight words that seemed extremely simple.

The dead do not die, and the living do not live.

"The dead do not die, for the living, and the living do not live, for the dead. But if we look at it from a long-term perspective, the living will all die, and the dead will be reborn, which is..." After a moment of silence, Tu Daotian spoke first, and then took a deep breath and uttered the last two words: "Corpse disaster."

"Yes." Mr. Qi nodded, his eyes shining, and he continued, "This corpse disaster is not limited to Beidou, but the entire world. By then, I am afraid that there will be countless ancient corpses of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and millions of years who will be reborn, and the people who died in this life will also return to the world, disrupting yin and yang and reversing reincarnation."

According to him, this was the reason why he chose not to seal off his own mountain gate and instead to wander the world again, because according to the deduction, if a corpse disaster occurred, the northern region of the Eastern Wasteland in Beidou would be the most important source.

Ye Nan's eyes flickered, and she paid special attention to the word "reincarnation" from Mr. Qi's mouth.

At the end of reincarnation, everything will finally come to an end, and the underworld is the destination of all souls. She had indeed not expected that the underworld, which had always been hidden in layers of fog, would reveal some clues in the last inheritor of the Shensuan Tianji Sect.

This is enough to show that this force of divine divination that emerged from Ziwei and was once recognized by the Taiyin Emperor may have really glimpsed some unspeakable secrets of heaven, which eventually led to the extinction of a sect.

"For eons, in the chaos, there is no color above, no abyss below, the wind and the marsh are empty, the Vajra rides on the sky, above the sky and on the earth, there is no darkness, no form, no shadow, boundless and infinite, the vast Brahma." Suddenly, Mr. Qi recited a passage of scripture again, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Although it was only a paragraph and incomplete, as soon as it was recited, the heaven and earth lost their vitality, all sounds were silent, and only a paragraph of scripture echoed, like a faint underworld, coming from the sky.

Everyone present was knowledgeable and could tell that what Mr. Qi was reciting was the "Duren Jing".

The "Duren Jing" was created by Lingbao Tianzun and is widely circulated in the cultivation world. This is no secret. It is not a scripture that can be practiced. Many sects have more or less certain fragments, but most of them do not pay much attention to it because it has no effect on cultivation.

But at this moment, everyone present immediately thought of an ancient legend related to this scripture: suppressing the corpse disaster!

"This passage of scripture was not obtained during my travels in the world." Mr. Qi looked a little scared. He calmed himself down and told everyone about the extremely dangerous divination experience.

This is the past event that Mr. Qi is most reluctant to recall. It was his last attempt after he got the secret of "the dead will not die, and the living will not be born".

But this time, he not only saw the terrifying-looking ghost soldiers and generals, but also the bizarre illusions of the underworld, such as Shura Purgatory, the Ten Kings of Hell, etc.

In the end, all the divine fortune tellers of the Tianji Sect appeared one by one. They all had ashen faces, like dead people, but with creepy smiles on their faces, they invited him to go with them to reincarnation together.

When Mr. Qi said this, even though Tu Daotian and Tu Xiong were both powerful men who looked down on the area, they both felt that the air in the room was a little chilly, with an inexplicable chill.

The passage of evil soldiers is the most taboo phenomenon in the process of divination. It represents an absolute taboo and is always a matter of life and death. Obviously, what Mr. Qi encountered has far exceeded this scope and is even more dangerous.

However, at this moment, Mr. Qi seemed to see an ancient picture flying towards him, which looked like a battle formation diagram, because on top of it, there were four dark red swords engraved, full of murderous intent.

However, Mr. Qi only took a look at it and his eyes began to bleed. His soul ached and he was unable to look directly at the formation diagram.

Afterwards, a passage of scripture echoed in his ears, like a voice from outer space, ethereal and illusory. It was the "Duren Sutra" that he had recited earlier.

When he opened his eyes again, all the illusions had disappeared, only the aftermath of severe pain in his soul remained. Mr. Qi survived the disaster, and his whole body was already soaked with sweat.

Afterwards, he ordered his chief disciple Lingyang to take charge of the divine divination lineage on his behalf. He decisively went out of the mountain, and relying on the divine divination lineage's ability to predict the future, he searched the world for clues, trying to unearth the secrets buried in that dangerous experience.

Ye Nan's heart moved. As early as when he was in Ziwei, Mr. Qi had used the exquisite and exquisite beads of the Tianji Sect to dig out many unknown secret histories from various regions. Now he was back to his old business.

Although he did not have the exquisite beads in his hand, Mr. Qi's ability at that time was comparable to that of a divine fortune teller, so it was obvious that he no longer needed the help of that ancient magical object.

"The battle formation diagram with four killing swords can be traced back to an ancient celestial being in the mythological era. He once refined a peerless and powerful weapon called the Four Swords of Immortal Execution to suppress corpse disasters!" Mr. Qi spoke word by word, revealing his amazing discoveries in recent years.

Hearing this, everyone present was slightly shocked. They could naturally judge that the name of the ancient Heavenly Venerable mentioned by Mr. Qi was exactly the founder of the "Duren Jing" - Lingbao Heavenly Venerable.

Ye Nan's expression moved slightly, and the first thing she thought of was that when she was fighting against the nine phantoms of the Heavenly Lords in the past, there was a man holding four dark red killing swords who could kill gods and Buddhas, and could kill all living things!
It seems that in the mythological era, Lingbao Tianzun, one of the nine great Tianzuns, had obviously anticipated something. Not only did he leave behind the "Duren Jing", he also refined the Four Swords of Zhuxian to deal with a possible corpse disaster.
