I am guarding the sky prison in Journey to the West

Chapter 268 Netherworld
Southern Wild West.

It is located on a mountain ridge only a million miles away from the Wuzhuang Temple on Wanshou Mountain.

Ancestor Hongyun flew aimlessly on the auspicious cloud, his brows filled with annoyance, but also with a bit of caution.

In the ancient times, there was no saying that "every man is not guilty of carrying a jade", but the principle is the same.

After Hongyun Patriarch received the Hongmeng Purple Qi in Zixiao Palace, he accepted Zhen Yuanzi's kindness and returned to Wuzhuang Temple in Wanshou Mountain with Zhen Yuanzi.

However, as Nuwa and Sanqing led Zhunti to become saints one after another, he still couldn't find any clue of becoming a saint.

Patriarch Hongyun could no longer hold back his anxiety and left Wuzhuang Temple alone to look for opportunities, regardless of Zhen Yuanzi's dissuasion.

Suddenly, Patriarch Hongyun heard Zhen Yuanzi’s shout from behind him: “Fellow Daoist Hongyun! Fellow Daoist Hongyun!”

Ancestor Hongyun stopped his head and saw Zhen Yuanzi flying over from behind.

Ancestor Hongyun was in a bad mood. Before Zhen Yuanzi could speak, he said impatiently: "Brother Zhenyuan, don't try to persuade me again! I have had this Hongmeng Purple Qi for tens of thousands of years, but I haven't yet." If you can decipher the mystery within it, you won’t gain anything if you continue to watch it in Wuzhuang!”

At this point, Patriarch Hongyun realized that his tone was a little bad, and tried to slow down his tone, and continued: "Brother Zhenyuan, I don't know how many years have passed since the beginning of the world, and I have attained Taoism. Don't say anything else. , it’s more than enough to protect yourself. Just go about your business and don’t worry about me."

Zhen Yuanzi said: "Fellow Daoist Hongyun, you misunderstood. I'm not here to persuade you. You are traveling around the wilderness with a lot of treasures, and it is inevitable that you will be coveted by bad people. After thinking about it, I think it would be better to accompany you. Take care of me.”

Ancestor Hongyun was moved when he heard this, but he was a little strange: "Fellow Taoist Zhenyuan, didn't you promise Houtu Ancestral Shaman that you would use the Treasure Book of Heaven and Earth to help her perfect the underworld? Why do you have time to travel with me again?" "

Ancestor Hongyun also traveled in search of opportunities during these years in Wuzhuangguan.

His red gourd was picked from the gourd vine in Buzhou Mountain during his travels.

However, Zhen Yuanzi always accompanied him on his previous travels.

This time, because Hou Tuzu Wu transformed into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, she asked Zhen Yuanzi to use the Book of Land to help her perfect the underworld.

Zhen Yuanzi couldn't shirk it, and he was worried about Patriarch Hongyun, so he wanted Patriarch Hongyun to stay in Wuzhuang Temple for a while.

After he comes back, the two of them will travel together to look for opportunities.

However, Patriarch Hongyun felt that Zhen Yuanzi was thinking too much. He had not encountered any danger in so many years, so he insisted on traveling alone first.

Unexpectedly, Zhen Yuanzi changed his mind and chased after him.

Zhen Yuanzi said: "There was no reincarnation tunnel before. Didn't the world still move around for so many years? Don't rush the matter of Hou Tu Zuwu. I will accompany you to find opportunities first, and then talk about other things."

"That's great! With Brother Dao's help, my trip's success will be two more points!"

Ancestor Hongyun was overjoyed.

However, Li Anran knew that Zhen Yuanzi was transformed by Kunpeng.

Not only had he seen this scene in Kunpeng's life before, but more importantly, Kunpeng's transformation skills were not very good.

In the ancient times, there was abundant spiritual energy manifesting the way of heaven. In addition, most of the ancient creatures had extraordinary qualifications, and in terms of cultivation level, they were far superior to those of later generations.

The entire prehistoric world has basically shown a downward trend in terms of cultivation level from generation to generation.

The reason why the word "basic" is used is because the peak of the overall strength of the ancient world was not during the Dragon and Phoenix First Tribulation, but during the Lich Tribulation.

This was about the time when Kunpeng attacked Ancestor Hongyun.

Taoist Hongjun has finished preaching in Zixiao Palace. According to Taozu Hongjun's wishes, the guests in Zixiao Palace are preaching and teaching in various places in the wilderness.

Six people from Sanqing and Zhunti Nuwa have attained enlightenment and become saints.

The demon clan has Emperor Jundong and Huang Taiyi, and there is a great formation of stars in the sky.

There are twelve ancestral witches in the witch clan, and they all have a great formation of gods and evil spirits.

The real thing is that quasi-sages are everywhere, and Da Luo is not as good as a dog.

In contrast, during the first tribulation of Dragon and Phoenix, Taoist Hongjun had not yet attained enlightenment and preaching, so the number of strong men was limited, and the real main force was equivalent to monks in the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

However, strong cultivation does not mean strong magic.

In fact, because the cultivation level is too strong, the spell is very rough.

At least Kunpeng's transformation technique is far inferior to the transformation techniques of later generations, but also because there are few people who know the transformation technique, and this place is very close to Wuzhuang Temple, Hongyun ancestor has no doubt at all.

At this moment, a golden light lit up above their heads, and in an instant it came from a very far distance in front of the two of them.

Standing in the golden light is another Kunpeng!
"Kunpeng, the title of demon master, is truly worthy of his name. In terms of Taoist attainments, there are only a few saints who are better than him!"

Li Anran couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The art of incarnation outside the body is not uncommon in later generations. Monkey, Yang Jian and even the Bull Demon King can do it.

But in this era, only the Twelve Ancestral Witches can use their own blood to perform it.

As a demon master of the demon clan, Kunpeng can study and understand the magical powers of his mortal enemy the witch clan and use them for his own use. He is already worthy of the name of the demon master.

In contrast, Patriarch Hongyun has put all his thoughts on Hongmeng Ziqi since he left Zixiao Palace. He studies how to attain enlightenment and become a saint every day, so that he has not made much progress in his cultivation over the years, and his understanding of the Dao There is no progress.

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, long time no see."

Kunpeng used his outer body transformed by Fei Yu to salute.

Ancestor Hongyun also didn't see any flaws, and his face was full of vigilance: "Kunpeng, what are you doing here?"

Patriarch Hongyun himself also knew that Kunpeng had always regarded him as the culprit that caused him to lose his seat and failed to become a disciple of Daozu, and he was extremely hostile to him.

Before leaving Wuzhuangguan, Zhen Yuanzi also specifically told him that Kunpeng would most likely cause trouble for him and asked him to stay more distracted.

And less than half a day after he left Wuzhuang Temple, Kunpeng came over and once again confirmed Zhen Yuanzi's reminder.

Kunpeng had obviously been monitoring him and was just waiting for him to leave Wuzhuang Temple.

Kunpeng said: "Fellow Daoist Hongyun, if you hadn't been kind enough to give up your seat to the receptionist in Zixiao Palace, I wouldn't have been snatched away from my seat by these two brothers, and I wouldn't have been able to become Master Hongjun's disciple. .You must give me an explanation for this matter."

Ancestor Hongyun saw Kunpeng's plan and sneered: "What kind of explanation do you want?"

Kunpeng said: "Hongmeng Purple Qi. As long as you give me Hongmeng Purple Qi, not only will this matter be over, but I will also owe you a share of cause and effect. If you need anything in the future, I..."

"No need!" Ancestor Hongyun directly interrupted Kunpeng and said, "Let's not talk about it for now. What does the offer of my seat have to do with you? This Hongmeng Purple Qi was given by Teacher Hongjun. How dare I give it to you?" Give it to someone else? If you want it, go find Teacher Hongjun yourself!"

"Hongyun! Don't use Teacher Hongjun to suppress me!"

Kunpeng's eyes widened, and he lost his previous pleasant expression, and said coldly: "Teacher Hongjun made it very clear when we left. He will not interfere in the affairs of the prehistoric times, and your Hongmeng Purple Qi is naturally among them."

"Kunpeng, don't have such wishful thinking! Even if Teacher Hongjun doesn't care, I can't give you the Hongmeng Purple Qi!"

When it comes to attaining enlightenment and becoming a saint, Patriarch Hongyun, no matter how good a person he is, is not easy to talk to. He flatly rejected Kunpeng's idea and said to Zhen Yuanzi: "Brother Zhenyuan, let's go!"

"Do you think you can leave?" Kunpeng turned his face completely and said with murderous intent: "Let me ask you one last time, will you give me this Hongmeng Purple Qi or not?"

"What? You still want to rob...ah!" Before Hongyun Ancestor finished his words, he let out a scream, but Kunpeng next to him suddenly made a sneak attack and slapped him on the vest.

"You, you are not Zhen Yuanzi! Who are you?"

Ancestor Hongyun didn't react until then, but it was too late.

Without the slightest precaution, he forcefully took a slap from Kunpeng. The energy in his chest was directly shaken away, and his physical body had already suffered heavy injuries.

"Hongyun, look who I am!" Kunpeng shook his body and turned into his true self.

"Kunpeng?!"

Ancestor Hongyun was shocked and looked at the other Kunpeng with disbelief.

But Kunpeng showed a strange smile, his body emitted a faint white light, turned into a golden feather, and slowly fell.

"This is the time!" Li Anran stared closely at Ancestor Hongyun.

Ancestor Hongyun failed to see through Kunpeng's transformation technique and external incarnation technique. The main reason was that he had been living in Wuzhuang Temple for these years and had no exposure to these two kinds of magic.

But at this time, in a desperate situation, he responded very quickly.

Ancestor Hongyun did not choose to flee hastily and expose his back to the enemy, but immediately used the Nine-Nine Soul-Removing Gourd.

At the same time, he circulated his magic power and released his aura unbridled.

——This place is only a million miles away from Wuzhuang Temple. He wants to ask Zhen Yuanzi for help in this way!
The method was correct, but he once again suffered the consequences of a backward era!
hum!
A series of golden traces appeared in the void, criss-crossing, forming a star formation, directly covering up the momentum of Hongyun Ancestor soaring into the sky.

Formations and spells are things that only appeared in the prehistoric times after Taoist Hongjun preached.

And compared to spells, there are even fewer people who know and master formations at this time, and there are only six saints and lichs!
Ancestor Hongyun had no concept of formations from beginning to end, and he didn't know that he had already stepped into a trap.

However, the great road has the same origin, and the different paths lead to the same destination.

Ancestor Hongyun quickly saw the effect of the formation and took action to destroy it. However, Kunpeng had relied on his speed to avoid the strong wind emitted by the Nine-Nine Soul-Spreading Gourd and killed Ancestor Hongyun. around.

Ancestor Hongyun was not as strong as Kunpeng, but he was attacked by Kunpeng and lost the initiative.

After barely resisting a few moves, Kunpeng seized the opportunity and slapped him on the shoulder, sending him flying backwards.

rumbling rumbling—

Ancestor Hongyun knocked down several mountain peaks in succession before barely able to stabilize his body. However, his injuries worsened and he could not even stand up.

"If you don't give me a toast, I'll be fined with wine. If you don't give it, then I'll do it myself..."

Before Kunpeng finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed and he shouted, "No!"

However, Patriarch Hongyun took advantage of the fight between the two to secretly activate the Nine-Nine Soul-dispersing Gourd in mid-air, spraying out clouds of strong wind and destroying the star formation that concealed the aura.

The smoke and dust raised by the shattering and collapse of countless mountains rose into the sky mixed with the aura of Ancestor Hongyun, and the earth continued to shake and tremble.

The huge movement was enough to alarm Zhen Yuanzi, who was a million miles away!

"Ruyi Ruyi follows my will, and it will appear quickly!" Ancestor Hongyun took out the Ruyi Ruyi Jade and blew out a mouthful of magic power.

Black winds rose from the ground, sweeping up the gravel and soil formed by the collapse of the mountains, and roared towards Kunpeng.

He does not seek to achieve meritorious deeds, but only seeks to delay time and make the noise bigger.

A journey of a million miles is just a blink of an eye for Zhen Yuanzi!

"What a pity!" Li Anran saw all this in his eyes and couldn't help but shook his head.

Every response made by Patriarch Hongyun was correct, but we can only say that "time is also destiny", his luck is really bad!

Because at this time, Zhen Yuanzi had already left Wuzhuang Temple and went to the underworld!

His efforts to make such a big fuss were all in vain!
Kunpeng didn't know this, and his expression changed drastically when he saw this. In a hurry, he transformed into a golden-winged roc eagle, opened his mouth and swallowed the gust of gravel in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, he stretched out his claws to grab the Hongyun Ancestor. He wanted to fight quickly and wanted to catch the Hongyun Ancestor and leave.

Ancestor Hongyun didn't know that Zhen Yuanzi was not here. In order to delay time and keep the Hongmeng Purple Qi, he was also very decisive. He directly burned a whole body of essence and blood mana to cover the Nine-Nine Soul Dispersing Gourd above his head, and kept using the Suixin Jade Ruyi to give Kunpeng creates trouble.

The two sides were in a stalemate for a while.

However, the price of this stalemate was that Ancestor Hongyun's body was burning and his body began to become transparent.

And as time passed bit by bit, Zhen Yuanzi never appeared.

Ancestor Hongyun and Kunpeng immediately realized that Zhen Yuanzi was not there.

One looked desperate, the other ecstatic.

"Kunpeng! I will fight with you!"

At this moment, Ancestor Hongyun suddenly let out a roar, igniting all the remaining blood essence and condensing it into a terrifying red light, which hit Kunpeng.

Kunpeng already had the advantage, so naturally he would not choose to forcefully attack him. He just flapped his wings and dodged it easily.

But, the next second, his expression changed drastically.

In this red light, there is actually a purple gas that exudes colorful and dense colors!
It was that majestic purple energy!
"Kunpeng, I can't get the Hongmeng Purple Qi, and neither can you!" Ancestor Hongyun's voice echoed between heaven and earth.

"Evil obstacles, you dare!"

Kunpeng's eyes were about to burst, but he could no longer care about Ancestor Hongyun. He waved his wings desperately and chased after the red light.

However, the speed of this red light is too fast!
He just avoided it, but was delayed for a moment. Even if he increased his speed to the extreme, he could only watch the red light break through the sky and disappear into the chaos outside the sky.

In Kunpeng's life, he directly pursued into the outer chaos. He searched for hundreds of years, but failed to find the whereabouts of Hongmeng Purple Qi, and finally returned to the primitive world in despair.

I also learned from others that Patriarch Hongyun bumped into Patriarch Styx in the sea of ​​​​blood, and was almost tainted by the sea of ​​​​blood, but was finally rescued by Zhen Yuanzi in time.

Kunpeng was suspicious, suspecting that the Hongmeng Purple Qi thrown out by Hongyun Ancestor was fake.

So, while continuing to search for the Hongmeng Purple Qi in the chaos outside the sky, he also began to search for the whereabouts of the remnant soul of Hongyun Ancestor.

However, there has been no result.

It wasn't until the Hulu Mountain incident that Kunpeng learned the whereabouts of Ancestor Hongyun again and hurried over.

From the perspective of Ancestor Hongyun, Li Anran saw a look of ecstasy on his face after Kunpeng disappeared, and he fled towards the Netherworld in a hurry.

However, the moment he entered the underworld, his movements suddenly stopped, his eyes swept around, and finally landed in a mountain col.

Everything around him had been destroyed when he fought with Kunpeng, but there was a snake and a scorpion in this mountain col that survived by chance!
"If one survives, there will be future fortunes!"

Ancestor Hongyun immediately enlightened snakes and scorpions, and then picked off a piece of glow and refined it into a piece of clothing...

Hide the Hongmeng Purple Qi inside!
