Honghuang Xuanyang Dao

Chapter 109: Netherworld Blood Sea (Happy New Year, please subscribe)
Thinking of so many innate spiritual treasures, Zhen Yuanzi was suddenly shocked and couldn't help but say, "When I arrived at the Treasure Sharing Cliff, I only saw dozens of innate spiritual lights, and I was already amazed."

"I don't want to share the treasures. There are hundreds of innate spiritual treasures on the cliff!"

"It's not just a few hundred pieces, but several hundred pieces." Li Xuanyang smiled and said, "When I arrived at the Treasure Dividing Cliff, there were no less than hundreds of innate spiritual lights."

"Hundreds of innate spiritual treasures!" Zhen Yuanzi showed an expression of disbelief. "How could Master Hongjun have so many innate spiritual treasures?"

Li Xuanyang did not find it strange. The origin of Hongjun Daozu was extraordinary. He was not just a descendant of an innate god or demon. He was also one of the earliest people with great supernatural powers in the prehistoric times. He had killed countless living beings and cultivators, so naturally he could collect many innate spiritual treasures.

Li Xuanyang had a deep understanding of this. There were as many as seven or eight innate spiritual treasures of quasi-saints and great supernatural powers that fell in the innate five elements and five directions formation.

Among them, Panwang Pearl, Panwang Yuangu Sword and Tiangu Yuanxie Banner are of the best quality.

In addition, there are four kinds of spiritual beads, each of which is a medium-grade innate spiritual treasure, and when combined into a set, they can be considered a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

There is also a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure, the God-Binding Rope, which can imprison the soul and is quite useful.

At Wuzhuang Monastery, the two of them spent several months discussing the Treasure Sharing Cliff, from the numerous innate spiritual treasures to their respective opportunities.

Finally, Li Xuanyang said goodbye to Zhen Yuanzi and prepared to leave Wanshou Mountain.

Standing at the gate of Wuzhuang Temple, Li Xuanyang bowed to Zhen Yuanzi and said goodbye, "Please wait for a while, fellow Taoist. I have already sent a message to my disciple, asking him to go to East Kunlun Mountain first and come to Wuzhuang Temple later."

Zhen Yuanzi did not try to persuade him to stay. He bowed to Li Xuanyang and said, "Thank you so much for this, fellow Taoist!"

"Goodbye!" Li Xuanyang casually summoned a cloud of light and it flew into the void.

At this time, the sun was rising in the east. Looking out, I saw a vast expanse of wilderness. Looking back towards Wuzhuangguan, I saw clouds and mist everywhere, a quiet and ethereal scene.

After a moment, Li Xuanyang withdrew his gaze and turned into a golden divine light, heading towards the East China Sea.

In the ancient world, in addition to the thirty-six heavens of the demon clan, there are still four realms.

The first is the starry sky where the Zhoutian stars are located, which can only be reached by passing through the thirty-three outer heavens and the innate罡风; the second is the common primitive land and overseas land, including the wild seas outside the four seas; the third is the underworld and the sea of ​​blood.

The fourth is the land of Jiuyou, located in the deepest part of the ancient land. The witch clan was born from the land of Jiuyou in the past.

Except for the ancient land and overseas areas, all other places here are difficult for ordinary creatures and cultivators to reach.

It is not easy to go up to the sky, and it is even harder to go down to the earth.

Compared to the starry sky where the circumpolar stars are located, the Netherworld is almost a world of its own. It is not connected to the prehistoric land and has no entrance. One can only enter it by relying on the Taoist magic power of the cultivator to open up a space entrance.

The best way to enter the Netherworld was to tear through the spatial barriers at the four poles of heaven and earth. Of the four poles, Li Xuanyang was most familiar with the Eastern Pole. He traveled all the way through the Great Desolation, entered the East China Sea, and finally arrived at the Eastern Pole.

On that day, Li Xuanyang found Qinglong's paradise and used the innate Yin-Yang divine diagram to stabilize the mountain protection formation. Then he went in and took away the Eastern Qinglian Treasure Flag.

Now Li Xuanyang had already taken back the Innate Yin and Yang Divine Diagram, and that blessed land once again disappeared into the void.

Li Xuanyang was filled with emotion. In just such a short period of time, he felt as if the world had changed dramatically.

Standing in the void of the easternmost land, Li Xuanyang looked around. The innate罡风 was still raging, the star power was complicated, and space fragments were occasionally scattered.

If you enter the underworld from here, without certain Taoist skills and magical powers to protect yourself, I am afraid you will not be able to withstand even the innate罡风 and space fragments.

"The Azure Dragon guarded this place back then. I think it has some connection with the Netherworld and the Nine Netherworld." Li Xuanyang sighed slightly, and without thinking too much, he directly showed the three flowers of his primordial spirit. Above the half-acre-sized auspicious cloud, a bright moon shot up into the sky, and countless silver divine lights descended from the sky, casting down auspicious light.

"Go!" Li Xuanyang shouted softly into the void, and saw a bright moon in the sky suddenly falling down, shattering the space.

Countless vast and thick auras rushed out, as if mixed with strong turbid air, evil spirit, and filthy air. It was extremely violent, and almost turned the billions of miles of the easternmost land back to the time when the world was first created, and was swallowed up by countless turbid air.

"This netherworld is indeed not a good place." Li Xuanyang frowned, and from the three flowers of his primordial spirit, the innate twelve-grade pure white lotus emerged, and strands of white divine light fell down, calming the space and leaving only a dark space passage.

Suddenly, a voice came from the void.

"Which fellow Daoist opened the entrance to the Netherworld?"

The next moment, a dragon's roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and a divine dragon appeared above the void. Its body was long, hundreds of thousands of miles in size, and its body was covered with dense layers of red scales. It had a fish tail, a horse face, eagle claws, a snake body, deer antlers, and two eyes, one gold and one silver. The color of its body changed with the seasons, and it looked extraordinary.

At this moment, Li Xuanyang saw the true form of Zhulong from afar. Above the void, dark clouds gathered, lightning flashed and thunder roared, stirring up countless fluctuations in the aura of spatial laws. His eyes fixed on it and he whispered, "The four seasons of the Zhoutian cycle change!"

At this time, Zhulong roared again, with a faint candlelight in his mouth, and a trace of the breath of the moon and the sun could be felt emanating from it.

At this time, Zhulong had not yet come in person, but only appeared in the void in the easternmost land.

But it still has such power, which shows that Zhulong has great magical powers.

"Fellow Daoist, you have great magical powers!" Li Xuanyang couldn't help but praise him, his power was indeed extraordinary.

But in just a moment, a ray of light flew from afar in the void and landed in the sky above the Dongji land, turning into a Taoist priest, who was Zhulong, who bowed to Li Xuanyang.

"Zhulong greets fellow Daoist!"

"Why did you come to this easternmost place?"

"And you opened the space entrance to the Netherworld!" Zhulong bowed to Li Xuanyang, with a hint of surprise in his tone. It was obvious that he was a little puzzled by Li Xuanyang's actions.

"I greet Daoist Fellow Zhulong." Li Xuanyang returned the greeting with a bow, nodded with a smile, and said, "I was planning to go to the Netherworld Blood Sea, so I broke the space here, but I didn't expect to disturb Daoist Fellow's meditation."

Netherworld Sea of ​​Blood!
"Why would you plan to go to such a filthy place?" Zhulong asked with a puzzled look on his face. "The Netherworld was created after the death of the great god Pangu. It is filled with all kinds of filthy energy and is not a place for us to cultivate."

"The Netherworld Blood Sea is extremely filthy. Even the protective divine light of a quasi-saint like me, which is extremely pure, cannot withstand it for long."

The Netherworld Sea of ​​Blood was formed from the navel of the great god Pangu. Not only does it not contain any innate spiritual energy, but it is filled with blood waves and the evil energy of heaven and earth. It is the most filthy place in the prehistoric world.

Such a filthy place can corrode the body and soul of a cultivator. Even quasi-saints with great supernatural powers are unwilling to easily set foot in the Netherworld Blood Sea.

"I plan to visit a fellow cultivator in Zixiao Palace." Li Xuanyang smiled slightly. It seemed that Zhulong had been paying attention to the entrance to the Netherworld, so he showed up in a hurry.

Thinking of this, Li Xuanyang subconsciously glanced in the direction of Qinglong's paradise. It seemed that Zhulong also intended to guard this place.

After hearing Li Xuanyang's words, Zhulong became even more curious and asked, "How could a cultivator be able to cultivate in the Netherworld Blood Sea?"

"Could it be that this fellow Daoist transformed from the Netherworld Blood Sea?"

Only the innate gods and demons that transformed from the Netherworld Blood Sea can practice in the Netherworld Blood Sea for a long time. Otherwise, even quasi-saints with great supernatural powers cannot stay in the Netherworld Blood Sea for a long time.

"That fellow Daoist Minghe, just as he said, was transformed in the Netherworld Sea of ​​Blood." Speaking of this, Li Xuanyang couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

The sea of ​​blood never dries up, the river Styx never dies.

Such a unique ability has been envied by countless powerful people.

In later generations, even the two saints from the West, Jie Yin and Zhunti, did not have much to do with the Taoist of the Styx.

After all, as long as the Taoist Master Minghe does not leave the Netherworld Blood Sea, even a saint will find it difficult to kill him completely.

This is also what makes Li Xuanyang feel embarrassed.

Of course, the Taoist priest from the Styx did not have an easy life in later generations. Countless Asuras were converted to Buddhism and became Dharma protectors such as the Vajra and the Eight Heavenly Dragons.

"This fellow Taoist from the Styx is really a good opportunity." Upon hearing Li Xuanyang's words, Zhulong showed a look of surprise. He didn't expect that it was just as he guessed. The Taoist from the Styx was actually an innate god and demon who transformed in the Netherworld Blood Sea.

"It's just..." Zhulong hesitated for a moment and said, "The depths of this Netherworld are connected to the Nine Netherworlds. Fellow Daoist, you shouldn't go there lightly. Otherwise, if you are trapped by the turbid energy of the Earthly Evil, even quasi-saints like us would be in danger of perishing."

The Nine Netherworlds, brimming with turbid earthly energy, are even more deplorable than the Netherworld. Only the ancestors and great witches of the witch clan can freely journey there. "Thank you, fellow Daoist, for the reminder!" Li Xuanyang briefly exchanged a few words with Zhulong, not mentioning his speculation about Azure Dragon and the guardianship of the Eastern Pole, before stepping into the spatial passage.

As soon as he entered the underworld, Li Xuanyang felt a cold breath coming at him, which contained a strong smell of turbidity and evil, and even a trace of filthy air.

Li Xuanyang felt his soul sink, and the innate Xuanyang divine light around him dimmed. "This netherworld energy is a fusion of turbid energy, evil energy, filthy energy, and the resentful energy left after the death of all living things in the prehistoric world. There is even a trace of chaotic energy. It is truly powerful, yet extremely vicious."

“No wonder even the Quasi-Saints and Great Divine Powers are unwilling to come here.”

"Get up!" Li Xuanyang shouted softly, and cast out a ray of innate purifying divine light to protect himself and stabilize his soul.

Only then did he look around at the dark place in front of him. As far as he could see, it was gloomy everywhere. There was no sign of life, not even a trace of living creatures. It seemed like a dead place.

The next moment, Li Xuanyang faintly sensed the breath of the Netherworld Blood Sea. Far away in the depths of the Netherworld, blood evil was rising to the sky and foul air was everywhere. It was even more vicious than the air of the Netherworld and could consume one's mind and bones.

The closer you get to the Netherworld Sea of ​​Blood, the thicker the blood evil and filthy air becomes, and even some scattered souls gradually appear and float towards you.

These souls were transformed from the dead creatures of the ancient times and were attracted here by the Netherworld Sea of ​​Blood.

The Netherworld Blood Sea is the place where the evil energy of heaven and earth gathers. The surface of the blood sea looks dim and calm, but in fact, the depths are turbulent, constantly dragging countless souls into the depths of the blood sea, and gradually disappearing.

Faced with the thick bloody and foul air, Li Xuanyang felt a little irritated. Even with the innate purifying divine light protecting him, he still felt uncomfortable.

Just as he was about to sacrifice the innate twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus, he felt a slight tremor in the innate twelfth-grade Reincarnation Purple Lotus and the Book of the Underworld in his soul, and they both emitted divine light, which immediately dispelled the foul air around them.

"These two items are indeed worthy of being the future Netherworld Treasures. They are indeed extraordinary."

"Where did this mountain Taoist come from? How dare you come to the sea of ​​blood to collect souls of living people? Leave quickly, otherwise I will make your soul fly to pieces and your true spirit will be gone!" Li Xuanyang had just arrived at the boundless sea of ​​blood in the underworld, and before he could find the Taoist temple of the Styx Taoist, he saw a blood-colored light suddenly rushing out of the sea of ​​blood, falling on the sea surface, and turning into a blood shadow, staring at Li Xuanyang with eyes.

This blood shadow looked very strange, with a head and limbs intact, and its body was extremely filthy. The smell of dirty blood was sour, smelly, and foul.

"Blood God Son!" Li Xuanyang frowned slightly, thinking of the fact that Taoist Minghe had cultivated 480 million clones of Blood God Son, and the creature in front of him obviously had intelligence and was not a simple clone.

The next moment, Li Xuanyang saw the souls of living beings being drawn into the Netherworld Sea of ​​Blood, and he revealed a look of realization. It seemed that the souls of living beings were integrated into the Blood God Son, so he had intelligence.

This is very similar to the Ashura clan in later generations.

Seeing that Li Xuanyang ignored him, Xueying couldn't help but feel furious. A blood-colored divine light shot up from his body and he shouted at Li Xuanyang again, "You are such a despicable Taoist! My ancestor already let you go once before. Now you dare to come to the sea of ​​blood again? I will make you turn into a pool of blood!"

Collect souls of living beings!

Li Xuanyang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of King Pan and another Taoist priest. Could it be that the two of them had gone to the Netherworld Blood Sea to collect the souls of living beings!
Since it was a misunderstanding, Li Xuanyang didn't bother with the Blood God Son. He shouted softly towards the depths of the Netherworld Blood Sea, saying, "An old friend from the Purple Sky Palace is here to visit. Fellow Daoist Minghe, please show yourself and meet me!"

However, after half an hour had passed, there was still no movement in the Netherworld Sea of ​​Blood. Only the Blood God Son was shouting at Li Xuanyang.

"Shut up!" Li Xuanyang frowned, and the golden divine light on his body became brighter, emitting billions of rays of light, falling towards the blood shadow.

The blood shadow was about to speak again when he saw a flash of golden divine light on Li Xuanyang's body. Billions of rays of light rushed out with divine power. He felt a chill in his heart and cried out inwardly, "Not good."

The next moment, the descending innate Xuanyang divine light covered the blood shadow. He let out a scream, and his entire body seemed to be on fire, gradually melting away. Even the soul in his body was ignited by the divine light.

However, the blood-colored light that used to be so powerful not only had no effect at all, but was even faintly restrained by the golden light. He was horrified and screamed in pain, and in a moment it turned into nothingness.

"I am Xuanyang, and I beg fellow Daoist Minghe to show himself to meet me!" Li Xuanyang shouted softly again towards the depths of the Netherworld Blood Sea, revealing the three flowers of his primordial spirit. Above the half-acre-sized auspicious cloud, the innate Xuanyang divine light spread out, almost covering most of the Netherworld Blood Sea. Countless filthy air was ignited and burned by the divine light.

There was a flash of fire above the Netherworld Sea of ​​Blood, but the Taoist Master of the Styx did not appear.

"Why is this Taoist of the Styx avoiding me?" Li Xuanyang couldn't help but wonder. Even if they didn't have the same friendship as in the Zixiao Palace in the past, the Taoist of the Styx shouldn't have turned a blind eye to anyone who bullied him, or even killed a Blood God Son.

"Could it be because of the Northern Xuanyuan Water Control Flag?"

Li Xuanyang soon figured out the reason why Taoist Minghe avoided him. This time he set up the innate five elements and five directions formation, causing such a big commotion that even if Taoist Minghe was far away in the Netherworld Sea of ​​Blood, he must have heard about it.

Thinking of this, Li Xuanyang was not surprised but happy. It seemed that the rumors in later generations were correct. The Northern Xuanyuan Water Control Flag was obtained by the Taoist of Minghe.

Deep in the Netherworld Blood Sea, Taoist Minghe frowned, feeling a little uneasy about Li Xuanyang's arrival. He couldn't help but think of his Northern Xuanyuan Water Control Flag and the Innate Five Elements and Five Directions Formation that Li Xuanyang had set up in anger that day.

"You are so persistent, could it be that you are really here for my Northern Xuanyuan Water Control Flag?" A hint of anger appeared on the face of Taoist Minghe.

Originally, Taoist Minghe thought it would be better to ignore it. He also didn't want to face the innate five elements and five directions formation, so naturally he didn't intend to provoke it.

But he heard another voice coming from above the sea of ​​blood, "Daoyou, have you ever met King Pan?"

Seeing that there was still no movement above the Netherworld Blood Sea, Li Xuanyang simply waved his sleeves and took out the three innate spiritual treasures: the Panwang Pearl, the Panwang Yuangu Sword, and the Tiangu Yuanxie Banner. "I wonder if you recognize these things?"

"Panwang Pearl, Panwang Yuangu Sword, and Tiangu Yuanxie Banner!"

Just as Li Xuanyang finished speaking, a blood-colored divine light rushed out from the depths of the Netherworld Blood Sea and fell on the Netherworld Blood Sea, transforming into a Taoist priest wearing a bright red blood robe. His face was slightly gloomy, and his eyes fell on the Panwang Pearl, Panwang Yuangu Sword and Tiangu Yuanxie Banner.

"Greetings to fellow Taoist Minghe. I was in seclusion just now, so I hope you can forgive me." As he spoke, Taoist Minghe withdrew his gaze and bowed to Li Xuanyang.

"Where did you get these three spiritual treasures?"

Taoist Minghe was naturally no stranger to King Pan, not to mention that they were fellow Taoists from the Zixiao Palace.

After the last war between the Lich and the Warlock, they dared to come to the Netherworld Blood Sea again and again to collect the souls of living beings, which made the Taoist Master Minghe extremely angry.

"Xuan Yang greets you, Daoist Fellow!" Seeing that the Taoist Minghe had finally appeared, Li Xuan Yang didn't waste any words and said directly and casually, "To be honest, Daoist Fellow, this Pan Wang has fallen under the influence of my innate Five Elements Five Directions Formation."

As soon as these words came out, the corner of Taoist Minghe's mouth seemed to twitch. This Taoist Xuanyang was so murderous that he actually made it seem so easy to kill a quasi-saint with great supernatural powers.

However, Li Xuanyang's next words made Taoist Minghe's face change. "I came to the Netherworld Blood Sea to visit you, Taoist, and I intend to exchange the Northern Xuanyuan Water Control Flag and a few lotus seeds with you."

As expected, they came for the Northern Xuanyuan Water Control Flag. A hint of ambiguity flashed across the eyes of the Styx Taoist. He glanced at King Pan's three innate spiritual treasures, took a deep breath, and said, "Well, since you have come in person, I will give you a favor."

At this time, the Taoist of the Styx changed his tone and continued, "That lotus seed is the object of my enlightenment. It was bred by the twelve-grade innate karma fire red lotus. It is in the innate number and can be regarded as an innate spiritual object."

"If you are willing to exchange this item, I will not ask for much. As long as you leave any spiritual treasure, I will give you three lotus seeds."

It seems that the Taoist Master Minghe is very easy to talk to, as he would exchange any of King Pan's innate spiritual treasures for three innate twelve-grade karma fire red lotus seeds.

In fact, the value of any one of the Panwang Pearl, Panwang Yuangu Sword and Tiangu Yuanxie Banner is far greater than the lotus seeds of the innate twelve-grade karma fire red lotus.

Thinking of the Northern Xuanyuan Water Control Flag, Li Xuanyang only frowned. He did not directly refuse, but said calmly: "Don't you think that fellow Daoist is a bit too greedy?"

"You are so wealthy, not to mention the two innate five-direction flags that Daozu gave you in the Purple Cloud Palace, even the other innate spiritual treasures you have are all of the highest quality. Why would you be so reluctant to part with just one innate spiritual treasure?"

"What's more, King Pan's three innate spiritual treasures may cause a lot of trouble in the future." The Taoist of Minghe never mentioned the Northern Xuanyuan Water Control Flag, obviously intending to let Li Xuanyang retreat.

"What Daoyou said makes some sense!"

"It's just a mere innate spiritual treasure. Naturally, I won't be reluctant to part with it." Li Xuanyang smiled dumbly and said nonchalantly, "I wonder how you plan to exchange it for the Northern Xuanyuan Water Control Flag?"

"The Northern Xuanyuan Water Control Flag is my personal protective gear!" The Minghe Taoist's face turned cold, and he looked at Li Xuanyang indifferently and said, "Fellow Daoist, are you joking with me?"

Although the lotus seeds of the innate twelve-grade karma fire red lotus are extremely precious, if they can be exchanged for a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Taoist Master Minghe will certainly be more than happy to receive it.

However, the Northern Xuanyuan Water Control Flag is a rare defensive spiritual treasure and is very important to the Taoist Master Minghe. How could he exchange it?

"If you came here just to collect the five innate five-direction flags, I'm afraid you've made a wrong idea." Taoist Minghe naturally knew Li Xuanyang's plan, and also knew the power of the innate five elements and five directions formation. He simply flashed a divine light on his body and disappeared without a trace.

Looking at the empty Netherworld Blood Sea, Li Xuanyang frowned, "It seems the only way is to go deeper into the Netherworld Blood Sea."
