I have a heavenly book of merit and virtue

Chapter 296 All the geniuses descended into the underworld! (Subscribe)

Lingzhou, the main peak of Lingshan Taoism.

The current head of the sect, Zhang Jiuling, led a group of Taoist leaders and waited in the square early.

But in the middle of the square, there is a circular platform with a diameter of about three meters, which looks like an altar.

On top of this round platform, there is a sundial. The strange thing is that there are no hour markings on the sundial. Instead, there are seal-style symbols similar to longitude and latitude.

This sundial-like object is called [Boundary Anchor], and it is the key to traveling between boundaries in the Three Thousand Worlds.

If you want to travel from one world to another specific world without the coordinates of the boundary anchor, you can only teleport randomly based on luck.

But it’s different with a boundary anchor.

The existence of the boundary anchor is like an anchor point, which can provide precise coordinate positioning for people traveling through it.

Obviously, the boundary anchor located at the main peak of Lingshan Taoism was specially set up for Li Shouyi and others from the Taoist Alliance.

Soon, the boundary anchor suddenly emitted a hazy halo.

Zhang Jiuling and the others who were waiting were immediately shocked when they saw the hazy halo appear.

Immediately afterwards, strong winds blew over the square and dark clouds gathered.

"Kakaka-"

A sound similar to that of a mirror breaking suddenly rang out.

Then, a hole with a diameter of more than ten feet suddenly appeared in the space above the boundary anchor.

In the hole, violent boundary winds raged, and some of the winds overflowed from the space hole, instantly crushing the granite ground around the platform into powder. When the strong wind blew, gravel mixed with powder flew up from the ground and scattered all over the sky.

At this moment, a golden light flashed from the broken hole in space.

After three or two breaths, the golden light came closer and closer until it flew out of the hole.

The light faded, revealing its original appearance under the golden light.

Surprisingly, it was the topaz gourd from the Taoist Alliance that appeared.

However, the topaz gourd now looked much more broken than it did then. There were knife cuts and scratches all over it, and some places were even dented, but overall it was still intact.

The topaz gourd flew out from the space hole, grew in the wind, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a large gourd with a diameter of more than three meters.

As a mysterious light flashed from the gourd mouth, Li Shouyi and others flew out of the topaz gourd and landed on the round platform.

Zhang Jiuling, who had been waiting for a long time, led a group of Taoist leaders and hurried forward, saying respectfully:
"We respectfully welcome Li Zhenchuan to our place!"

On the other side, Li Shouyi, who was experiencing the realm shuttle for the first time, was still a little pale. After hearing Zhang Jiuling's words, he still smiled politely and bowed politely in reply:
"I think it must be Senior Brother Zhang Jiuling who is here. Thank you Senior Brother Zhang for welcoming him in person."

This time, there are a total of five people from the Taoist Alliance who arrived at the Netherworld. Although this is not the maximum number of people that the Topaz Gourd can carry, if there are more people, the Topaz Gourd will be a bit crowded. Secondly, not everyone in the Taoist Alliance is qualified to come.

Only by accumulating enough contributions can one get the opportunity to travel through the realms.

Among the people who came from the Taoist sect this time, except Li Shouyi, there were three people who, like Li Shouyi, entered the inner world to find the Earthly Evil Yin Vein to break through the Qi Refining and Return to Void and achieve perfection in the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation. They were two men and one woman.

Of course, the goals of these three people are definitely different from Li Shouyi’s.

For Li Shouyi, he must look for the best-grade Earthly Fiend to break through and return to the void.

But for the other three disciples of the Taoist Alliance, this is not necessary. For them, it is enough to find a suitable mid-grade Earthly Evil to break through the spirit refining and return to the void.

If it really doesn't work, even a lower-grade Earthly Fiend is fine.

As for the last person, he is the protector of Li Shouyi and others. With the cultivation level of the late stage of Refining the Spirit and Returning to the Void, he can be regarded as a master in the Xuanhuang World. As for the Netherworld, he is an absolute top-level combat force.

Seeing Li Shouyi being so polite, Zhang Jiuling secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He originally thought that the person from above would be quite arrogant. After all, his Lingshan Taoist Alliance had not had any contact since the Netherworld was sealed a thousand years ago.

In fact, Zhang Jiuling was not a disciple of the Taoist Alliance, but his father was.

He simply took over his father's position in the Taoist Alliance.

This is also the norm for subordinate forces in the Three Thousand Worlds.

Seeing that the Taoist Alliance still recognized him as a disciple of the Taoist Alliance, Zhang Jiuling was quite happy. He had also now completed the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation, and the only thing he needed to break through the Spirit Refining and Return to Void was the Earthly Evil Yin Meridian.

Originally, it would be extremely difficult for him to break through to the stage of refining the spirit and returning to the void on his own.

After all, the four major demon sects and ghost sects of the Endless Sea have emerged, and his Lingshan Taoist sect is far inferior to these sects that have the combat power of refining the spirit and returning to the void.

But now the arrival of Li Shouyi and others brought Zhang Jiuling a glimmer of hope to break through the spirit refining and return to the void.

As long as he behaves properly, it is not impossible for him to get some of the Earthly Evil Yin Veins.

Zhang Jiuling is not greedy. He does not ask for a mid-grade Earthly Fiend. Just a low-grade Earthly Fiend is enough.

Although Li Shouyi called him "senior brother", it was just a courtesy. Zhang Jiuling certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to admit it. He was still polite and even humbled himself:
"Li Zhenchuan, you are so polite. The guest room is ready. Please follow me, Li Zhenchuan."

Beside Zhang Jiuling, the senior leaders of Lingshan Taoism looked at Li Shouyi and others with awe.

Putting aside the identities of Li Shouyi and others, the aura displayed by Li Shouyi and others alone made the Lingshan Taoist high-level officials feel a little afraid.

Each of them possesses stronger combat power than the master of their own mountain. The aura of a middle-aged Taoist priest who looks quite ordinary makes Zhang Jiuling and other high-ranking members of the Lingshan Taoist sect secretly frightened.

He must be a Yin Spirit master who has refined his spirit and returned to emptiness!

Thinking of this, Zhang Jiuling and others became even more humble.

Li Shouyi naturally saw the awe in the eyes of Zhang Jiuling and others, and smiled bitterly in his heart. He stepped forward and held Zhang Jiuling's arm intimately, and said:
"Brother Zhang, there is no need to be so distant. The Dao Alliance remembers Uncle Xiang Ping's contribution. Brother Zhang will definitely have a share of the Earthly Evil Yin Veins that we harvest this time."

At this point, Li Shouyi emphasized again:

"At least it's a mid-level Earthly Fiend."

The uncle Xiang Ping mentioned by Li Shouyi was Zhang Jiuling's father, Zhang Xiangping. Zhang Jiuling was so moved that he almost cried after hearing what Li Shouyi said. He shook Li Shouyi's hand tightly and replied with red eyes:

"it is good!"

Li Shouyi smiled slightly, then changed the subject and asked:
"Have the people from other factions arrived?"

Zhang Jiuling knew that the other factions that Li Shouyi mentioned were top forces from other worlds, such as the Dao League, so he responded with all the information he knew:

"It is rumored that the Vajra Temple should have arrived, probably one day earlier than you... Junior Brother Li Zhen. As for the other families, there is no news yet, so I guess they will arrive in the next two days."

Zhang Jiuling originally wanted to continue to call Li Zhenchuan, but when he felt Li Shouyi's closeness, he quickly changed his words and called him "Junior Brother".

Li Shouyi nodded and asked:
"Have you found the space passage to the other world? Is it complete? Can we go in now?"

Although he called me junior brother, Zhang Jiuling's attitude was still respectful. He bowed and replied:
"We found it half a year ago, but it's not yet complete. The space channel is not very stable. It will probably take another two days."

Like Chen Yan and his group, Lingshan Taoist Sect also successfully found the space passage leading to the inner world in Lingzhou half a year ago.

It’s just that the space channel that Chen Yan discovered at that time was only the size of a candlelight, while when Lingshan Taoist discovered this space channel in Lingzhou, it was already large enough for a person to pass through.

It's just that the space is unstable that there is no action.

Hearing this, Li Shouyi nodded. He was not too anxious. Although entering the inner world earlier would be advantageous, his character was always cautious. Of course, Li Shouyi still had to ask other people for their opinions.

So he looked at the middle-aged Taoist beside him and asked:
"What do you think, Uncle Daoming? Should we wait for two days or take the risk and go in now?"

Taoist Master Daoming, who was the protector of Li Shouyi and the other three, yawned and said nonchalantly:

"You decide."

Li Shouyi showed a helpless look, and looked at the two men and one woman beside him:
"Where are the fellow disciples?"

The three of them answered in unison:
"It's up to Senior Brother to decide."

Li Shouyi shook his head helplessly, and then looked at Zhang Jiuling again:
"Brother Zhang, please arrange accommodation for me."

"We have been prepared for a long time. Junior Brother Li, please follow me."

As he spoke, Zhang Jiuling led the way.

Li Shouyi and his party followed Zhang Jiuling and walked two steps. Li Shouyi suddenly thought of the rumors he heard when he came here, and couldn't help asking:
"Brother Zhang, have you ever heard of the name Chen Yan?"

Zhang Jiuling didn't expect Li Shouyi to suddenly ask about Chen Yan. He was quite surprised, but he still answered honestly:
"Of course I have heard of it. I want to let Junior Brother Li know that this Master Chen Yan is...very famous in my Netherworld."

At this point, Zhang Jiuling glanced at Li Shouyi, hesitated for half a second, and then spoke:
"In fact, this Master Chen has some connection with our Lingshan Dao Sect..."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Li Shouyi asked with interest in his eyes.

Beside him, the protector Li Daoming and three other disciples of the Dao League also turned their attention over.

After all, it would be a lie to say that they were not interested in this person who was once number one on the human list and had caused a heated discussion in the three thousand worlds.

Seeing that Li Shouyi and others were quite interested, Zhang Jiuling did not hide anything and told them about the conflict between Chen Yan and his Lingshan Taoist disciple Zhan Yuming.

When they heard that Chen Yan had killed Zhan Yuming on the spot, Li Shouyi and others didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, they paid attention to another thing.

Li Shouyi said in surprise:
"So, Chen Yan has been practicing Taoism for less than ten years?"

"Exactly."

Zhang Jiuling nodded. Chen Yan’s background was no secret in the underworld. Ever since Chen Yan became famous, his background had naturally been revealed long ago.

"hiss--"

The three Taoist League disciples standing by were all a little shocked, even Li Daoming, who was in the late Yin Shen stage, looked surprised.

After all, this speed of cultivation is even faster than that of his true disciple Li Shouyi.

In the past, when this person topped the human list, his cultivation level was only at the initial stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation, and they looked down on him.

Who would have thought that it took this person less than ten years to reach the initial stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation?
"It's a pity that God is jealous of talented people. Mr. Chen still died."

Finally, Zhang Jiuling shook his head and sighed again.

In fact, the gap between his Lingshan Taoist sect and Chen Yan had been resolved long ago. He just felt a little sad that his Netherworld had finally produced a genius who could be famous in the three thousand worlds, but he didn't expect that he would die so soon.

After hearing what Zhang Jiuling said, Li Shouyi and others were silent for a moment.

"correct."

Seeing that Li Shouyi and the others were so interested in Chen Yan, Zhang Jiuling told them about the hottest events in the cultivation world of Jiuzhou recently:
"The forces under this Lord Chen are probably not far from collapse."

"How to say?"

Li Shouyi asked curiously.

Zhang Jiuling did not keep the suspense and recounted the feud between Chen Yan and the Guiku Sect, and also told the news that the Guiku Sect army was on the way to attack Xiangzhou.

Upon hearing the news, Li Shouyi did not say anything, but the guardian Li Daoming, who looked quite lazy, sneered:
"When a wall falls, everyone pushes it; when a tree falls, monkeys scatter. It's nothing more than that."

Having said that, Li Daoming stopped talking.

Li Shouyi also nodded, but did not express anything.

First of all, he had no relationship with Chen Yan, and secondly, his Taoist Alliance had no position or interest in intervening in the disputes within the Netherworld.

Although for his Taoist Alliance, a force like the Ghost Crying Sect can be easily destroyed by his Taoist Alliance.

The group expressed regret for a while and then put the news behind them. To them, the other world was the next focus.

It was the same day that Li Shouyi arrived at Lingshan Taoist Sect.

Bu Lingxu from the Qingming World, Zhao Wuji from the Qixia World, Ao Shuang from the Canglan World, and others all descended into the Netherworld on the same day.

The Qingyun Sect where Bu Lingxu was located descended into the Netherworld and directly occupied the entrance to the inner world of Pingzhou.

Since the Rebirth Sect does not seem to be interested in the inner world, the entrance to the inner world in Pingzhou is fought over by a group of independent cultivators.

After Bu Lingxu arrived, he directly occupied this place.

Ao Shuang, who has the deepest background and comes from the Dragon Palace of Canglan World, can be said to be the most low-key one among the top five on the human list. Since he descended into the underworld, no one has found any trace of Ao Shuang.

It is said that someone saw a white dragon coming out to sea in the Endless Sea.

As for Zhao Wuji of Qixia World, he went directly to Yizhou where Yuling Sword Mountain was located.

With his own strength, he directly wiped out the White Bone Sect and the Blood Evil Sect who were fighting for the entrance to the inner world with Yulingjian Mountain in Yizhou.

Since this battle, Zhao Wuji's fame spread throughout the entire Jiuzhou cultivation area, and he became the first genius among the top five on the human list to become famous in the underworld.

Yizhou, at the foot of Qingliang Mountain.

"Is this the entrance to the other world?"

Looking at the space passage where there was a faint gust of wind, Zhao Wuji looked indifferent and nodded slightly.

"Reporting to the envoy, it is correct!"

The current head of Yulingjian Mountain nodded respectfully.

"How long will it take until the channel stabilizes?"

Zhao Wuji asked again.

"About two days."

“Two days…”

Zhao Wuji's eyes flashed, and then he shook his head and said:
"I can't wait any longer. I'll go in first."

After saying that, he turned into a ray of sword light and disappeared in the fluctuating space channel. The leader of Yuling Sword Mountain opened his mouth to persuade him, but finally found that Zhao Wuji was no longer in front of him, and he smiled bitterly.

Just as the geniuses descended upon the Netherworld, the army of crying ghosts finally arrived at Laoshan!
