I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 355 The Netherworld Spring, the End of Dharma Era (23)

"So that madman Wu Yi... this time he simply chose to kill Yu Guo?"

Aside from the emotional difficulty in accepting it, this approach is indeed very much in line with Wu Yi's style.

Once Yu Guo, the founder of the dynasty, is killed, the balance between humans and gods will no longer be maintained.

Taking advantage of this great calamity, the Great Xia Dynasty indeed has a great opportunity to complete the purge of the gods and create a true kingdom belonging to mankind.

"Yes, that's why the gods of the Great Xia Dynasty collectively betrayed him, even though they knew it was extremely dangerous."

With a deep sigh, Wu Peng didn't think Wu Yi's actions were wrong; he simply felt that Wu Yi was too reckless.

Given Wu Yi's strength at the time, he could have handled the matter in a much more moderate way.

"Wu Yi was too impatient, always thinking of achieving complete success in one battle and accomplishing the mission of several generations by himself."

"This may also be related to his background; he always wanted to hold on to everything and was unwilling to let go of even the smallest thing."

Wu Peng's statement also represents the views of the vast majority of people towards Wu Yi.

"So, was the death of the God of the East Sea the cause of the floods in the East Sea?"

Li Boyang blinked thoughtfully and asked this question.

However, to Li Boyang's surprise, Wu Peng gave a negative answer on this issue.

"First of all, I need to correct you on one point: Yu Guo didn't die that easily."

"At the very least, I haven't received confirmation of Yu Guo's death."

"Secondly, the Great Xia is adjacent to the East China Sea and has long since made various targeted defenses, which are even more extensive than your construction of the Hundred Mountains."

Wu Peng was telling the truth. Wu Yi might not care about the West Sea, the North Sea, or the South Sea, but he definitely cared about the East Sea.

This is also a major reason why he set Yu Guo, the God of the East Sea, as his final target, rather than attacking the East Sea from the beginning.

Wu Yi is just crazy, not really stupid.

Killing Yu Guo prematurely before eliminating all hidden dangers would only weaken the foundation of the Great Xia Dynasty.

"Then what caused this flood?"

Filled with deep confusion, Li Boyang continued to press for answers.

At the same time, he finally figured out why the East Sea, which was theoretically also affected by the tides, still had the capacity to send giants from the Dragon Kingdom to the North Sea for support.

"It's the Hidden Spring. So the legendary Hidden Spring really exists."

"I'm afraid even Wu Yi, the Witch King, doesn't know that the reason Yu Guo is stationed in the East Sea is actually to suppress Youquan."

Upon hearing this entirely new term, a flicker of curiosity immediately crossed Li Boyang's eyes.

Fortunately, Li Boyang was a very competent listener.

He didn't rush to interrupt Wu Peng, but patiently waited for the other to organize his thoughts.

"You once helped the Houtian clan of the Guifang Kingdom transform into the Netherworld Wind."

"So it should be clear that in addition to the mortal world we live in, there is also an underworld that can only be reached after death."

"The realms of Yin and Yang are separated, and only the Yin spirits under the command of the Underworld Lords have the ability to freely travel between Yin and Yang."

"But there are always exceptions. There is a spring in the East Sea that leads directly to the underworld."

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

The underworld and the world of the living are like two sides of the same coin.

From any perspective, these two worlds should not interfere with each other.

However, this age-old common sense was broken by the birth of the "Lord of the Underworld".

As the first great deity of the underworld, the true Son of Heaven of the Underworld—the Lord of the Netherworld—began to become curious about the existence of the mortal world at some point. In that ancient era, the only means of communication between the underworld and the mortal world was birth and death.

The souls of the dead travel to the underworld...

The aura of a soul's annihilation will briefly open a passage to the mortal world...

Therefore, the Lord of the Underworld often takes advantage of the moment when the soul is extinguished to sneak his own soul into the mortal world.

In an era before the concepts of reincarnation and rebirth existed, the Lord of the Underworld was the only great deity who spanned the realms of Yin and Yang, and he left behind a series of legends in that primitive and ignorant age.

This situation continued until tens of thousands of years ago, during the reign of the Heavenly Emperor Haojun.

At that time, the Heavenly Emperor had not yet cultivated the immortal herb, nor had he truly conquered death.

Therefore, He set His sights on the reincarnation of the Lord of the Underworld in this life, and finally succeeded in forcing him to awaken under the Fusang Tree in the East Sea, His birthplace.

Details about that battle are rarely recorded, even in various myths and legends.

The only thing Wu Peng can be certain of is this:

After that battle, although the Heavenly Emperor successfully cultivated the Immortal Grass, it also marked the beginning of his disappearance.

As for the Fusang tree that was originally located in the East China Sea?

The destruction of the Fusang tree is clearly recorded in the myths and legends of various countries in the East China Sea.

"The Nether Spring is located under the legendary Fusang Tree, and is the 'spring' that the Lord of the Underworld transformed into after his death."

At this moment, the chilling aura emanating from Wu Peng's voice sent shivers down one's spine.

"The reincarnation of the Lord of the Underworld opened the passage between the Yin and Yang realms."

"The 'water of the underworld' flowing from that passage may be His resentment and blood."

"The waters of the underworld are different from ordinary seawater; they are a kind of death water that indiscriminately annihilates all life..."

Wu Xian believed that internal strife was absolutely unacceptable at this time; instead, they should first find a way to deal with Youquan.

"Otherwise, once those Netherworld Waters spread with the East Sea and completely merge into this world..."

"All living beings born in this world in the future will be affected by the Netherworld Water, and will suffer all kinds of unimaginable disasters."

"For example, a weak body, a shortened lifespan, and difficulty in cultivation..."

At this point, Wu Peng's gaze lingered on Li Boyang for a long time.

"Although I think he was exaggerating and trying to scare us."

"But it cannot be denied that Youquan is indeed a potential crisis, and Dinghai Ding is currently the only means to restrain Youquan."

Now it was Li Boyang's turn to take a deep breath and remain silent for a long time.

"That madman Wu Yi..."

After a long silence, Li Boyang muttered another curse under his breath.

Unlike Wu Peng, whose vision was limited by the times, Li Boyang was actually more able to understand Wu Xian's concerns.

The universe is composed of countless cycles, and ocean currents are one of the most crucial ones.

If what Wu Peng said is true, the situation is only worse than he described.

Li Boyang could even imagine that in the future, all beings born into this world would be burdened with the curse of death from the moment they were born.

Furthermore, as the Netherworld Water continues to spread, the curses within all living beings will accumulate until this world becomes a deathly, desolate place, much like the underworld.
