True Immortal of the Netherworld

After successfully completing the commission from Master Gui Gu Yeyan, Xu Yang was naturally extremely happy.

"I remember that Master mentioned the East China Sea before. Next, we can go to the East China Sea to travel with Master."

Xu Yang thought to himself, with a slightly excited expression on his face, even though he had seen a little bit of the world in the Xiaoxian world and the evil ghost world. But I have always been yearning for the outside world mentioned by Master Gui Gu Yeyan.

For those who cultivate the truth, traveling is better than ascetic practice. This is generally consistent with the saying among scholars that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books.

After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped and frowned, as if he had thought of something?

"Master said he would rest for three days and ask me to wake him up after three days. Considering his current unstable state of soul power, it would be safer to see how he recovers in three days before making detailed plans. Guess what? There are still eight days left for the trial in the Howling Land, which should be enough. It doesn’t hurt to stay in this small bamboo forest for three days first.”

After thinking about it in his mind, Xu Yang decided to stay in the "Bamboo Grove" for three days.

Practicing in Master's room feels a little disrespectful. Xu Yang simply went outside to sit cross-legged on the cobblestone path in the bamboo forest, closing his eyes and meditating.

For three days, he remained motionless.

The bamboo forest, paths, wooden houses, and the boy who looks like a sitting figure are like a painting, a painting that is still and reveals tranquility and vitality.

Three days later.

Xu Yang, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes, and his eyes were filled with clarity. He slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, feeling relaxed and relaxed. He stood up and adjusted his clothes slightly.

"If this place wasn't filled with evil spirits most of the time, it would really be a suitable place for spiritual cultivation. Let's see how the master is doing first."

Thinking in his mind, he carefully took off the Ghost Wooden Waist Pendant and held it in his hands.

This waist pendant is only a few inches in size, oblate in shape, shiny and dark, and tied with a delicate golden string. Its surface is as smooth as jade, and it faintly emits a warm warmth that is transferred to the palm of the hand that is holding it. .

Thinking that the master's soul is inside, I feel the weight of this belt even more. It's so heavy that it's more valuable than the legendary rare treasures in the fairy world.

"Master, the three-day deadline has expired. According to your instructions, my disciple has come to wake you up." Xu Yang called softly.

Although his voice was not loud, it seemed particularly clear in this quiet environment, filling the entire space.

The bamboo forest is listening, the path is listening, the wooden house is listening.

The Ghost Wooden Waist Pendant lay quietly in Xu Yang's palm, with no response at all.

quiet!

"Plop, plop!" Only his own heartbeat came back to his ears.

"This?" Xu Yang couldn't help but change his expression.

"Master! Master!" He called twice in succession, and the tone became louder.

After a while, there was still no movement on the Ghost Wooden Waist Pendant.

Xu Yang's face became increasingly ugly, and in desperation, he activated his spiritual power.

In the sea of ​​consciousness in the Tianling Gai, there were waves, and then a piece of spiritual consciousness spun out and turned into a faint white streamer from the center of the eyebrows, like a white ribbon stretching in the wind, gently placed on the ghost wooden waistband in front of him.

Next, with a movement of consciousness, he probed into the ghost wooden waist pendant.

Suddenly, an extremely subtle, but thunderous crackling sound came from the waistband.

Anxious to know the truth, he entered with his spiritual consciousness again, and suddenly found a ball of red, yellow and blue thunder balls enveloping a ball of divine soul.

The soul is constantly absorbing the power of the three-color tribulation thunder, and then enriching itself.

Suddenly, a red, yellow and blue electric arc popped up from the three-color thunder ball, like a beast with fangs spread, biting towards Xu Yang's spiritual consciousness. The unprepared Xu Yang had no time to control his consciousness to dodge, and was caught by him.

With a "chi" sound, the power of the three-color tribulation thunder rushed up along Xu Yang's spiritual consciousness. The three-color light flashed and disappeared into his forehead.

Xu Yang felt as if someone had stabbed a steel needle into his head. For a moment, he had a splitting headache.

He quickly recited the formula of Haoran's Holy Secret in silence.

Immediately, an awe-inspiring power of purity surged out from the awe-inspiring heavenly veins connecting Tianling Gai and Dantian Zifu, and entered Tianling Gai's sea of ​​consciousness.

The power of Haoran's purity was like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves, washing away this strange force of thunder attribute, and the clarity of mind was restored.

The "Holy Holy Technique" practiced by Xu Yang is the supreme mental method of Confucianism, which emphasizes the righteousness of a gentleman between heaven and earth. It has the wonderful effect of strengthening the body and clearing away impurities. It also has a powerful effect on clearing distracting thoughts from the body.

Since he practiced this Holy Secret, Xu Yang has been meditative and has benefited a lot from his daily practice of cultivating the foundation. He can often achieve twice the result with half the effort. This is also one of the reasons for his rapid improvement in martial arts.

Without enough time to carefully check his own condition, he quickly withdrew that ray of consciousness.

"It seems that the master's soul is still being warmed up and should not be disturbed easily. The power of the three-color thunder calamity in the ghost tree can instinctively attack the intruder, which is almost self-defeating. If the soul in the ghost tree has just been disturbed, The power of the Thunder Tribulation will probably cause irreparable damage to Master's soul, and it's all because of my recklessness." Xu Yang blamed himself.

Seeing that his master's spiritual body was intact, Xu Yang was temporarily relieved and could only wait and see how the current situation would change.

The fourth day, the fifth day, the sixth day.

Xu Yang's eyes almost never left the Ghost Wooden Waist Pendant. For a monk with strong spiritual power like Xu Yang, three days is nothing. But at this moment, he was worried about his master, Gui Gu Yeyan, which made him feel like his days were like years.

Donglai Kingdom, where Xu Yang's hometown is located, is a mortal country based on Confucianism. He was taught by his mother to respect teachers since he was a child. As the saying goes, once a teacher, always a father. Xu Yang still values ​​​​the fate of master and apprentice.

He sensed the weak soul power fluctuations released from the ghost wooden waistband at any time. He did not relax for a moment and did not dare to rashly probe into it to check.

Fortunately, although the soul power fluctuations coming from the ghost wood are weak, they have been stable.

"It's already the sixth day. If Master doesn't come out of seclusion, the land of ghost roars will be closed, and the place will be filled with evil spirits. We have no choice but to leave this place first." Xu Yang worried in his heart.

At this moment, a white spiritual light flashed from the surface of the Ghost Wooden Waist Pendant, and along with it was a ray of soul power fluctuation that was much stronger than before.

"I had a really pleasant sleep this time." Gui Gu Yeyan's voice came from above.

"Master, you finally woke up. It's already the sixth day. How are you doing?" Xu Yang asked quickly.

"On the sixth day, I didn't expect it to take so long. It seems that the condition of my soul is worse than I previously estimated. However, it is better now. The three-color thunder power in the ghost wood cooperates with The soul-nurturing effect of the ghost wood is quite useful. My soul body is no longer seriously injured. Although it cannot be rejuvenated, it is enough to live for a few more years. For now, my soul body can only temporarily stay in this ghost. The situation will be better in a few days. Please go to the back room to say goodbye to my master, and then we can leave here."

"As commanded."

Xu Yang went to the room behind the wooden house and knelt down and kowtowed in front of the tablet on the altar table that read "The Immortal Master Cang Wuya".

…

Finally, on the last day of the trial in the Ghost Roaring Land, he returned to the residence of the Tiangui Sect with the soul body lodged in Gui Gu Yeyan in the Ghost Wooden Waist Pendant.

Three days later, in Xu Yang's room.

There was a bright light on the Ghost Wood Waist Pendant, a shadow flashed, and Gui Gu Yeyan, dressed in simple soap clothes and with fairy-like hair, appeared in front of Xu Yang.

At this time, Gui Gu Yeyan looked much better than before.

"Disciple has met Master." Xu Yang said impolitely.

"Tsk, tsk."

Gui Gu Yeyan carefully looked up and down at Xu Yang in front of him, with a look of surprise on his face.

"My disciple, I didn't expect that in just one year, you would have gained a lot of blessings. Your original fire-attribute one-spiritual physique has evolved into four spiritual veins. And the three newly generated spiritual veins are the souls of ghosts and spirits. Pulses, this is something that is rare for monks who practice the ghost way. Also, the two fake elixirs formed in your body, and the black crystal fake elixir is probably caused by absorbing the power of the Nine Nether Crystals. It is really good to be able to absorb the power of the netherworld in the Nine Nether Crystals so perfectly. The other red blood fake elixir is probably condensed by practicing the blood soul technique. The important thing is that it actually has something inside it. There are two divine powers hidden in ancient legends. One should be the power of the Immortal Wood Spirit, and the other should have its origins in the power of the beacon from the God of War Realm. Although you have not yet fully mastered these two powers. It will be limitless in the future. Not bad.”

After hearing this, Xu Yang first admired Master Gui Gu Yeyan's insight, but then he always felt that something was a little bit wrong? Although he is well-informed, he can see himself so clearly with just his spiritual sense. Even an immortal would not have such ability.

Seeing the doubts in Xu Yang's eyes, Gui Gu Yeyan smiled slightly and said: "You must be thinking, how do I know so much detail? Because the Wheel of Flame Spirit in your body was given to you by me, and it is related to the Wheel of Fire. Continuation of it, so as long as you cast a spell to close it, I won’t be able to see it.”

"Thank you, Master, for clarifying my doubts."

"You and I are destined to be masters and apprentices, so you should also know some things about master and me. You and I can be honest with each other, so that we can drink together and face difficulties together in the future. Remember my master and I The old man told me the same thing when we first met each other. So, today we, master and disciple, will talk about everything. Please sit down and talk in detail." After that, Guigu Yeyan sat down first. on the chair.

"Master, please speak. Disciples are all ears."

Seeing that his master was sitting firmly, Xu Yang sat on the opposite side in an orderly manner.

"About my situation, I probably told you a little bit when we first met, but I still hid one thing from you."

Having said this, Guigu Yeyan smiled sheepishly, his expression was like that of a child who was honest about his mistakes.

Then he continued: "Before, I told you that my body was lucky enough to break through the void and step into the fairy world. My current form is just an afterimage, and it is actually all fake."

"Why is this?" Xu Yang looked confused.

"I can't remember how many years ago, my cultivation level has reached the Virtual Immortal Realm, but it stopped there and it was difficult to make any progress. In order to break through the bottleneck of my cultivation level, I took the risk and chose to retreat here, mainly because I wanted to take advantage of the abundant energy here. The energy of the underworld forced me to break through the bottleneck, but the final result was that I failed, and my soul and body were counterattacked by the energy of the underworld, causing my state to plummet. In the end, I barely managed to keep my current soul body, but Shouyuan did. It will keep losing. At first, I was not willing to accept it, but as time went by, I became relieved. In addition to hard work, it also depends on luck. Maybe my talent is stupid, so the journey of cultivation should stop here. "Gui Gu Yeyan said, with calmness and a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

After a pause, he continued: "This man is old, but he cares about face more and more. First, I am a disciple of the founder of the Tiangui Sect. Secondly, I am one of the founders of the Guigu clan of the Tiangui Sect. . If my situation is spread, I am afraid that it will disgrace the reputation of the master and bring shame to the Guigu family. So, I lied to you and said that my body has broken into the void and gone to the immortal world."
