Chapter 346 The Gates of the Underworld!

Many years ago, when the Holy Spirit Stone Tiger participated in the struggle for the Heaven-Mending Technique, it was at the behest of the Quasi-Emperor Flood Serpent, who instructed him to act using the forbidden artifact bestowed upon him by the Quasi-Emperor.

But after that battle, Shi Hu used the forbidden artifact and escaped with the Heaven-Mending Technique, taking all of the Holy Spirit Ancestor's creation for himself, and his whereabouts remain unknown to this day.

This greatly angered the serpent. If it weren't for the difficulty in finding the other party, it would have already taken action to kill the traitor. In recent years, it has been trying to figure out the other party in Little Spirit Mountain.

Unfortunately, Shi Hu obtained two supreme artifacts, the Stone Token and the Stone Scripture, which he carried with him and were enough to separate the Quasi-Emperor from his calculations, leaving the Flood Dragon and Serpent without any results for so many years.

Qi Zhe's arrival left it speechless, and it could only reveal the truth in front of the Imperial Weapon. Even Qi Zhe had not expected things to turn out so complicatedly.

"That guy really has some tricks up his sleeve!" Shi Ma was somewhat disappointed. After figuring out the whole story, he felt extremely regretful, as if he had just missed out on a stroke of luck.

But Qi Zhe felt something was wrong, because he had followed the other party's aura here, and logically Shi Hu should have returned here, but now he was nowhere to be seen.

Upon hearing this, Yan Ruyu smiled and said, "It's not far from being a Quasi-Emperor, so it must have some tricks up its sleeve. Perhaps it's hiding nearby."

Yan Ruyu also felt something was wrong, and even thought that what the serpent said might not be credible. However, the other party was a quasi-emperor, and even Qi Zhe would find it difficult to pry open the other party's mouth.

"I intend to search here for a few days. If I find nothing, I will put it aside for the time being and head to the Lotus Pond instead," Qi Zhe said, revealing his plan.

He suspected that the Flood Dragon had deliberately hidden the Stone Tiger, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, even with an imperial weapon, it was difficult to control the opponent.

Upon hearing that Qi Zhe would continue searching for several more days, Yan Ruyu did not object and subsequently joined Qi Zhe in searching the starry sky.

In the following days, Qi Zhe made no discovery. The aura was inexplicably cut off, and he could not trace it before Little Spirit Mountain.

However, at this time, Qi Zhe also discovered the origin of this place and found that Xiaoling Mountain was not a natural divine mountain, but was created by human beings hundreds of thousands of years ago.

"Amitabha Buddha, Great Emperor!"

In the ancient history that cannot be traced back to the primordial era, there are only a few records about this Buddha Emperor. People only know that he attained enlightenment hundreds of thousands of years ago.

However, when it comes to achievements on the path to immortality, this great emperor is someone who cannot be ignored, simply because many of his methods are still being tried today.

He fabricated the idea of ​​exploring the divine, and also passed down the art of immortality. He even dabbled in incarnations of the Holy Spirit. This little sacred mountain is what he left behind.

The Big Dipper has Mount Sumeru, which soars into the starry sky, and on the Amitabha star there is also a sacred mountain, whose height is no less than that of Mount Sumeru, and it is a true immortal mountain.

This sacred mountain in the starry sky was formed by Amitabha Buddha drawing together the stars, and is known as Little Spirit Mountain. It was abandoned hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Now it gathers the power of heaven and earth, giving birth to countless holy spirits. Even the dragons and serpents were born on this mountain, but were born prematurely for some unknown reason.

Qi Zhe was surprised after investigating everything. The result was unexpected, but upon reflection, he didn't think it was anything special. After all, the actions of the Great Emperor were often unpredictable.

The things Amitabha Buddha has done are all chilling, and he will have the means to manifest on the path to immortality in the future, not to mention that there is also Shakyamuni in the world.

"It's time to go."

A few days later, Qi Zhe kept his word and did not linger there. He set off again to open that land of destiny for Yan Ruyu.

The serpent watched Qi Zhe leave, speechless for a moment. It knew very well that Qi Zhe did not trust it and would come back in the future.

"Ancestor, I have unspeakable suffering and regret!" At this moment, the serpent sighed in the starry sky, hating the Great Sage Stone Tiger to the core.

It has been cultivating on Little Spirit Mountain for thousands of years, but it has not yet completely turned into stone. Its pair of dragon horns are still made of stone, just like when it was born.

If it were to obtain the Heaven-Mending Technique, it could instantly dissolve these dragon horns, or even perfectly transform into a true dragon, directly attaining enlightenment in this world. But now, nothing can be done. The Great Sage Stone Tiger has harbored disloyal intentions, stealing the Stone Scripture and never returning, leaving it helpless.

"It's time to go. If I can't attain enlightenment, I should at least try to become an immortal!"

At this moment, the Quasi-Emperor Flood Dragon made up its mind. It knew that the Great Sage Stone Tiger would never reappear, and waiting any longer would be futile.

"boom!!!"

Then, its body, which had been pressing down on the Milky Way, released the small spiritual mountain and instantly leaped into the starry sky, rushing towards the direction of the Big Dipper.

The void was shattered by it, and its boundless serpentine body transformed into a stream of light. During this time, the Quasi-Emperor Flood Dragon looked back at Little Spirit Mountain and sighed, "You were all wrong!"

That is where it was born, and also where it was cut down. In the past, the Buddha Emperor saw through the ages and decreed that the holy spirit on this mountain was destined to be cut down from the moment it was born.

The serpent was extremely lucky, as it was only slain when it reached the Quasi-Emperor realm, but that was the end of its journey. Without the Heaven-Mending Technique, it would have no chance of achieving perfection.

Even as a peerless quasi-emperor, it has no more than a thousand years to live. If it cannot attain enlightenment before the path to immortality, then it can only gamble on the possibility of becoming an immortal.

Undoubtedly, this is not an isolated case. As the path to immortality draws ever closer, the quasi-emperors in the universe, who are already old, are all setting off to head towards the Big Dipper.

Amidst this overwhelming trend, Qi Zhe ventured into the depths of the universe, seeking the land of creation left behind by the Azure Emperor, hoping to seize the possibility of attaining enlightenment within a few decades.

The vast sky is filled with dazzling stars, but only when you are in it do you realize how dark it is among them, with not a single ray of light visible.

Qi Zhe, with Yan Ruyu and Shi Ma, slowly moved forward in the dark sky, ignoring all the scenery along the way.

"How could it be so far?" Qi Zhe was somewhat surprised. Even as a quasi-emperor with unparalleled divine power, it was still difficult to reach the destination in a short time.

He traversed the dark sky for more than three months, passing through countless ancient lands, and even encountering ancient ruins from the mythical era along the way.

“It is indeed very far. Back then, I rode on the ancestral divine array, and time flew by the whole way. It took me three days to arrive.”

Yan Ruyu smiled and nodded upon hearing this, saying that the Azure Emperor had left behind an ancient formation, but unfortunately it was destroyed during its last use, otherwise she wouldn't have had to cross it alone.

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhe could only nod, knowing that he was not the Great Emperor after all. The Azure Emperor's methods took no more than three days, while it would take him three months or even longer.

However, Qi Zhe also had some worries at this time. He vaguely sensed the difference in this place, because he had already discovered three places of the underworld.

"This place might be related to the underworld!"

Qi Zhe concluded that he and his companions must have ventured deep into the star field controlled by the underworld, otherwise they would never have been able to see the man-made underworld.

Upon hearing this, Yan Ruyu didn't keep him in suspense and said directly, "The notes left by our ancestors say that this place was once the gate of the underworld in the ancient times!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhe finally realized what was happening and was speechless with astonishment. He couldn't help but be amazed that the Azure Emperor was undergoing his tribulation right at the entrance of his old home in the underworld. It was truly astonishing.

Qi Zhe then saw many star fields shattered after the great war along the way. Some of them had been broken for tens of thousands of years and still retained the aura of the Great Emperor.

Three days later, Qi Zhe witnessed an astonishing scene: a huge gatehouse lying in the universe was half destroyed, with only the character "地" (earth) remaining on the dark plaque.

"A palm print!"

Someone smashed the massive gatehouse with their bare hands and destroyed the plaque of the underworld with a single palm strike, leaving a palm print that even Qi Zhe could hardly get close to.
