Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 670 The Origin of the Secret Realm, The Supreme Inheritance (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
At the same time, the masters of the four major families all looked at the Ghost Emperor, wanting to know the secrets here!

After all, no one expected that entering the passage would lead to this place!
Aside from guessing a name, they had almost no recollection of this place!

"Jie Jie Jie..."

Upon hearing this, the Ghost Emperor's eyes flickered with ghostly fire, and he let out a hoarse laugh: "Since we're going to cooperate, I might as well tell you."

"This 'Netherworld Bone Sea' is the battlefield where the Xuan Tian Ancestor and the Nine Nether Demon Lord fought in ancient times."

He floated to the edge of the altar, his bone claws gently stroking the ancient patterns: "In that battle, the heavens and earth trembled. Although Ancestor Xuantian won, he was also seriously injured."

Li Yunjing's gaze sharpened as he noticed the undisguised awe in the Ghost Emperor's tone when he spoke of "Ancestor Xuantian".

"As for this heart..."

The Ghost Emperor suddenly lowered his voice, "It's not actually a real heart, but rather a wisp of the Nine Nether Demon Lord's essence that was severed from him!"

"what?"

The Old Ancestor Gongyang exclaimed in shock, "The Demon Lord's origin? That means..."

"Yes."

The Ghost Emperor chuckled sinisterly, "This heart contains the supreme essence of demonic cultivation. If one can refine it, one can directly attain the path to immortality! However..."

He then changed the subject, "Ordinary cultivators will die upon touching it. Only demonic cultivators, whose cultivation is above the Tribulation Transcending level, are capable of successfully refining it!"

"Overcoming the tribulation!"

Everyone was shocked.

It's really scary!
There is no such thing as "Tianlan Star"!
In other words, this "heart" was placed on the altar, and no one could use it.

"Senior, you must have come here this time for the Demon Lord's essence, right?"

Li Yunjing's heart stirred, but he remained outwardly calm: "But your cultivation is not high enough. You want to enter the 'Mysterious Heaven Secret Realm' first to find something left behind by the Mysterious Heaven Ancestor to suppress this primordial power?"

"clever!"

The Ghost Emperor gave Li Yunjing an approving look, "I expended a great deal of magical power to enter Tianlan Star from the Nine Netherworlds, just to wait for the key to appear in the world."

"Now you understand what the key means to me, right?"

His eyes suddenly blazed with ghostly fire. "Cooperation is the only option! If you harbor any ill intentions, I guarantee that I will pay any price to annihilate you, so that you won't even be able to become ghosts!"

"Don't worry, senior. Since we share the same goal, we will naturally cooperate sincerely."

Li Yunjing exchanged a glance with the members of the four major families and slowly nodded.

He raised his hand and summoned the key to the secret realm. The key resonated strangely with the black heart on the altar, and a faint light flowed between the two.

"Great! That's awesome!"

The Ghost Emperor was overjoyed at the sight, and the ghostly flames around him brightened even more. "I will now clear the way for you!"

"The Netherworld opens, and the Yellow Springs hang upside down."

"His spirit is captivated by the nine netherworlds, and his soul is drawn to the three springs."

"The Yin energy serves as the guide, and the blood moon as the mirror."

"White bones chant scriptures, corpse lotus blooms in flames."

"Stepping into the gates of hell on the left, and treading into the abyss on the right."

"A thousand souls bow their heads, ten thousand spirits heed the proclamation."

"Yama, the King of Hell, makes way; the judge puts down his pen."

"I hereby command the underworld to act swiftly as the law dictates!"

The Ghost Emperor was seen stepping in the Big Dipper formation and forming the "Nine Netherworld Seal" with his hands.

Each time you recite it, you need to take a drop of your heart's blood and apply it to the center of your forehead.

As the ancient incantation was chanted, the magical runes on the altar lit up one by one, and the black heart began to beat violently, spewing out a wisp of pure demonic energy with each beat.

These demonic energies intertwined in the air, gradually forming a pitch-black portal.

"Get in quickly! This passage won't last much longer!"

The Ghost Emperor urged, his eyes flickering with ghostly fire.

"Be careful, seniors, this scoundrel is surely up to no good."

Li Yunjing secretly transmitted his voice to the four major families: "Form an array to protect yourselves immediately after entering."

Li Yunjing didn't believe a single word the Ghost Emperor said!
It's all about deception and trickery; it's a battle of who can out-deceive!

"understand!"

The other twenty Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were all cunning and shrewd individuals; how could they be easily trusted?

It’s just a joke!

Whether their own son believes it or not is another matter!

Cultivators are ruthless and heartless; apart from their belief in surviving, they will hardly let anything shake their resolve.

What love, hate, and grudges can compare to breaking through to the next level!
Without Li Yunjing needing to remind them, a group of old foxes were already prepared!

The moment everyone stepped through the black portal, Li Yunjing suddenly felt a sharp pain in the key in his hand.

The scene before them suddenly changed, and they found themselves in a blood-red wasteland with three blood moons hanging in the sky and a "bronze palace" faintly visible in the distance.

"Is this the 'Mysterious Heaven Realm'?"

Old Ancestor Ouyang looked around warily.

"No, this is the Nine Nether Demon Lord's 'Blood Fiend Illusion'."

The Ghost Emperor's voice suddenly turned cold, "Thank you for bringing me in. Now... hand over the key!"

Before the words were even finished, the entire wasteland suddenly erupted in chaos, as countless bloody hands rose from the ground and reached out to grab the crowd.

Even more terrifying, the blood moon in the sky opened its hideous eyes!
"It's a trick!"

Li Yunjing was prepared, and the 365 thunder talismans instantly formed the Heavenly Gang Thunder Array.

At the same time, twenty Nascent Soul cultivators from the four major families simultaneously unleashed their natal magic treasures, forming the Four Symbols Demon-Slaying Formation.

"Hehehe! Useless!"

The Ghost Emperor's body swelled, transforming into a hideous ghost hundreds of feet tall. "Here, I am the ruler!"

Before he could finish speaking, the Ghost Emperor suddenly launched an attack!
The ghostly aura transformed into countless hideous ghost faces, rushing towards the crowd!

"I've been on guard against you for a long time!"

Li Yunjing was prepared, and the 365 thunder talismans instantly formed a thunder net.

Twenty Nascent Soul cultivators from the four major families attacked simultaneously, their various magical treasures illuminating the entire sea of ​​bones!

"You beast! You really think you can act arrogantly just because you've come to 'Tianlan Star'?"

Ancestor Ouyang brought out an ancient bronze mirror, and wherever the mirror's light shone, the ghostly aura dissipated.

"Heh heh! My four great families have dominated the 'Luofu Continent' for so many years. Do you think we don't have the power to fight against a True Monarch at the Nascent Soul stage?"

The Old Ancestor Gongyang then took out a crimson flying sword, its blade wreathed in pure yang fire, specifically designed to subdue yin and evil.

"Slay demons and demons!"

Zhuge Laozu shouted sternly, and a talisman appeared in his hand!
The talisman was enveloped in a burst of bloody light!
This is no ordinary blood-red light, but a top-tier fifth-order talisman from the blood of the "Vermilion Bird," specifically designed to slay demons and monsters!

The old patriarch Ximen also flashed his hand, and a folding fan flew out. When the fan was opened, thousands of Demon-Subduing Needles were unleashed like a torrential rain!

Behind them, the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators from the four major families cooperated with their respective family patriarchs, channeling more magical power to maintain the array's strength.

"You mere ants, how dare you resist?!"

The Ghost Emperor roared, his body suddenly expanding to three thousand feet tall, and the Nine Netherworld Ghost Fire swept across all directions!
Just as the two sides were locked in fierce combat, the black heart suddenly began to beat violently!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Each heartbeat was like a thunderclap, shaking everyone's blood and qi.

Even more terrifying, the entire sea of ​​bones began to boil, and countless skeletons combined to form an army of the dead!
"Oh no! The heart is absorbing the aftershocks of the battle!"

Li Yunjing was the first to notice the anomaly: "It's reviving!"

"How can it be?!"

The Ghost Emperor also sensed something was wrong, and was filled with shock and anger: "We haven't arrived yet..."

"Seniors, attack the heart with all your might!"

Li Yunjing made a decisive statement: "It is the real threat!"

"it is good!"

The twenty Nascent Soul cultivators immediately changed their attack, unleashing various supernatural powers and magical treasures at the center of the altar.

"Stop! You'll awaken it!"

The Ghost Emperor, however, turned around and blocked everyone's way, saying, "Once the Demon Lord's will awakens, we will all die!"

"Didn't you just try to take it, senior?"

Li Yunjing sneered: "Why are you scared now?"

"This emperor only needs a wisp of the original essence!"

The Ghost Emperor was furious: "If the complete will of the Demon Lord were to descend... not to mention True Monarchs at the Nascent Soul stage, even experts at the Void Return stage would perish immediately!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Before he could finish speaking, a torrent of black gas suddenly erupted from the crack in his heart!
A blurry giant face appeared and disappeared in the black mist, and the terrifying pressure made everyone feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave!

"It's over..."

The Ghost Emperor's face was ashen. "It's the remnant of the Demon Lord..."

At this critical moment of life and death, the key in Li Yunjing's hand suddenly flew to his heart and merged with it.

A dazzling blue light erupted, forcefully suppressing the black energy!
"This is... Ancestor Xuantian's backup plan?"

Li Yunjing, struck by a sudden inspiration, shouted, "Quick! Seal the heart now!"

"Ok?"

The Ghost Emperor's aura surged, and he was about to take action, but upon seeing the key, he spontaneously participated in suppressing the Demon Lord's lingering resentment. His figure stopped in mid-air, coldly observing the situation.

"Seniors, form the Four Symbols Demon-Sealing Formation!"

Li Yunjing keenly sensed the Ghost Emperor's hesitation and immediately transmitted his voice to the four major families: "We will seal the Ghost Emperor here as well!"

The twenty Nascent Soul cultivators quickly changed positions and each unleashed their natal magic treasures.

Ancestor Ouyang took out an ancient bronze mirror, its surface engraved with mysterious runes; Ancestor Gongyang made hand seals, and nine crimson chains flew out from his sleeves; the other two family heads respectively offered up the Soul-Suppressing Bell and the Soul-Fixing Banner.

"The Four Symbols return to their places, sealing the heavens and locking the earth!" With a shout, the four magical treasures intertwined in the air to form a golden net, wrapping the beating heart layer by layer.

The black heart struggled violently, its demonic energy surging, but it was firmly suppressed by the blue light emanating from the key.

"Kid, you think you can do it this way?"

The Ghost Emperor's chilling voice suddenly rang out, but before he could finish speaking, a sudden change occurred!

Eight bronze pillars suddenly appeared around the altar, their surfaces covered with ancient runes.

These runes lit up one by one, forming a ring of light that enveloped the entire altar.

"You're going to deal with me too?"

The Ghost Emperor's voice was filled with disbelief, "Are you all insane?"

"Senior, your actions have gone too far."

A glint flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes, and he seized the opportunity to shout, "Since you turned your back on us earlier, we naturally cannot cooperate with you! Now, we will reinforce the seal and seal you inside as well. If you are not afraid of being devoured by the Demon Lord's remnant will, then go ahead and try."

"Damn it! You can't do this!"

The ghostly flames in the Ghost Emperor's eyes flickered violently, clearly indicating that he was struggling.

He was caught in a dilemma. Dealing with Li Yunjing and the others would only help the Demon Lord's lingering remnant spirit. Once the Demon Lord was revived, he would devour it immediately.

Help me deal with the Demon Lord's lingering resentment?

The crucial point is that he was also surrounded by the seal!

This has sealed me out here too!
This is how to do?
Just then, the black heart suddenly erupted with a piercing shriek, and a burst of demonic energy broke through the seal, heading straight for the Ghost Emperor's face!

"court death!"

The Ghost Emperor was furious and finally made up his mind.

He formed a hand seal and chanted an obscure incantation: "Nine Netherworlds and Yellow Springs, heed my command!"

As the incantation was recited, nine netherworld chains appeared around the Ghost Emperor, echoing the seals of the four great families.

Under this dual suppression, the black heart's beating gradually slowed down.

Seeing the black heart, things stabilized.

"Use form to change position!"

The Ghost Emperor's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty, but he ultimately unleashed his supreme divine power.

The next moment, it actually broke free from the "Four Symbols Demon Sealing Formation".

"Hmph! Let's leave it at that for today."

He glared fiercely at Li Yunjing and the others, and sneered, "Kid, we'll meet again!"

After saying that, he transformed into a wisp of black mist and vanished.

As the Ghost Emperor departed, the altar began to collapse.

"go!"

Li Yunjing made a decisive decision: "Follow him!"

As everyone stepped into the passage, the Netherworld Bone Sea behind them completely collapsed.

Unbeknownst to anyone, a barely perceptible wisp of black mist quietly clung to the hem of the last cultivator in the group's robes.
The group followed closely behind the black mist that had allowed the Ghost Emperor to escape, rapidly traversing the dark passageway.

The surrounding space was constantly distorting, and at times, eerie wails and howls could be heard.

"Look! There's light ahead!"

Suddenly, Master Ximen pointed to the end of the passage.

The black mist that the Ghost Emperor had transformed into was crashing into a giant bronze gate. Nine chains on the gate, flashing with blood-red runes, repeatedly deflected the black mist.

"It's the Nine Netherworld Demon-Sealing Chains!"

The Old Ancestor Gongyang exclaimed, "It seems this is the true entrance to the secret realm!"

"I never imagined that the entrance to the so-called 'Mysterious Heaven Realm' would be located so deep within such a forbidden area!"

Holding the key, Li Yunjing felt a strong resonance emanating from it: "Seniors, lend me a hand!"

The twenty Nascent Soul cultivators immediately formed an array, continuously pouring their magical power into Li Yunjing's body.

The key suddenly shone brightly, shooting out a beam of blue light that struck the massive bronze gate.

"Click! Click!"

The nine chains snapped instantly, and the massive bronze gate slowly opened, letting out a dazzling golden light from the cracks.

"Hahaha! It's finally open!"

The Ghost Emperor laughed wildly and was about to rush in.

"Stop him!"

Li Yunjing was prepared, and the 365 thunder talismans instantly formed a net that stretched from heaven to earth.

"Boy, do you think you can stop me like this?"

The Ghost Emperor was forced to stop, speaking in a sinister tone.

"No!"

Li Yunjing suddenly revealed a mysterious smile, "I have a big gift for you."

As they spoke, the twenty Nascent Soul Realm cultivators simultaneously attacked, conjuring a colossal hand that blotted out the sky, and grabbed the unsuspecting Ghost Emperor.

"You're asking for it!"

The Ghost Emperor let out an angry roar, but was forcefully pushed in another direction by the giant hand.

"Esteemed seniors, we are now entering."

Li Yunjing breathed a long sigh of relief.

Fearing that the Ghost Emperor would get there first, everyone sped up and, together with Li Yunjing, stepped through the giant bronze gate first.

The next moment, the scene before them left everyone in awe.

This is a small world suspended in the void, with nine golden suns hanging high in the sky, and below is an endless garden of spiritual herbs.

In the distance, seventy-two white jade palaces are arranged according to the stars in the sky, with the three large characters "Xuantian Palace" shining brightly above the central main hall.

"This is... the true 'Mysterious Heaven Realm'!"

Old Ancestor Ouyang's voice trembled.

"Everyone, connect your spiritual senses and see if anyone else has entered?"

Li Yunjing shouted immediately, "We need to hurry!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately activated their divine senses and saw that the bronze gate was flashing with light, and several figures were already breaking through the final barrier.

"Not good! It's a powerful expert from another passage!"

The old ancestor Gongyang's expression changed drastically. "They actually found the entrance so quickly!"

"Split up!"

"Senior Ouyang, take ten people to the Spirit Herb Garden. Senior Gongyang, take five people to collect the three nearest side halls. The rest of you, come with me to the main hall!"

Li Yunjing's gaze sharpened, and he made a decisive decision: "As soon as they come in, we must gather together immediately and not linger! You must know that those are all top-tier Nascent Soul Realm True Monarchs!"

"Yes!"

The group quickly split up and took action.

Li Yunjing is absolutely right!
They were the first to come in, seizing the opportunity to gain some advantage; once others came in, they would only be left with scraps.

Li Yunjing led four Nascent Soul cultivators straight to the central main hall, and on the way they suddenly discovered that the spiritual herbs on the ground were all rare varieties that were over 100,000 years old.

"This is... the Nine-Turn Rejuvenating Grass?!"

A Nascent Soul cultivator exclaimed in surprise, "A sacred medicine that has long been extinct in the outside world!"

"Don't stop!"

Li Yunjing said in a deep voice, "These are all peripheral items; the real opportunity lies in the main hall!"

Just as they were about to reach the main hall, a thunderous roar suddenly came from behind them: "Youngster, don't you dare leave!"

It was none other than the Emperor Huangze's Nine-Dragon Chariot that broke through the sky!

"Get in quickly!"

Li Yunjing pushed open the main hall door with one palm, and the five of them slipped inside.

The moment the gate slammed shut, a golden dragon-shaped beam of light crashed heavily against it, causing the entire palace to tremble.

The main hall was unusually quiet, with only nine ancient bronze lamps burning silently.

A crystal-clear jade slip floated in the very center, emitting a heart-stirring aura.

"This is……"

Just as a Nascent Soul cultivator was about to step forward, he was suddenly repelled by an invisible barrier.

The key in Li Yunjing's hand glowed again, resonating with the jade slip.

He bit his finger and flicked a drop of his blood onto the jade slip.

"Om..."

The jade slip vibrated, projecting countless golden characters that swirled in the air before finally transforming into a profound scripture: "The Mysterious Primordial Dao Scripture"!
"This is... a supreme cultivation technique that points directly to the Great Dao!"

Li Yunjing was deeply shaken and immediately sat cross-legged to begin his meditation.

The four Nascent Soul cultivators each gained something and entered into deep meditation.

Meanwhile, the situation outside the palace had changed dramatically.

Emperor Huangze, Blood Demon Ancestor, and other peerless experts arrived one after another and fought fiercely for the treasures of the secret realm.

The entire small world trembled as the Nascent Soul level cultivators clashed.

Suddenly, a beam of light shot from the dome of the main hall, and Li Yunjing's figure slowly rose within the beam.

His eyes were closed, and his body was surrounded by profound Daoist energy; he had entered a state of sudden enlightenment!
"Oh no! Someone has obtained the Xuan Tian inheritance!"

The Blood Demon Ancestor screamed and charged toward the main hall without regard for anything else.

Just as the Blood Demon Ancestor charged toward the main hall, a golden sword light streaked across the sky, and the Void Sword Master arrived, stepping through the void, and said coldly, "Blood Demon, your opponent is me!"
