Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

Luo Hou entered the study, opened the barrier that stored rare treasures, took out the Sun, Moon and Star Mirror and gave it to Tian Zhe, then quickly sent him away.

Xianling rushed in and hugged Luohou: "Father, Xianling was so worried about you!"

"I'm sorry to have worried my son."

"This is a one-time exception. I will never forgive you if this happens again!"

Yu Cixin said fiercely, gazing at the sky for three whole hours, every minute and every second was torture, she had never been so afraid.

Luo Hou held his wife and children in his arms. These three hours were also a test of life and death for him. He was holding a planet in his hands, and there was always the possibility of a big explosion.

Fortunately, high risk comes with high reward. Shao Hao absorbed the energy of an entire planet, and his state of mind also underwent a breakthrough.

Once he fully comprehends the mysteries of life and death, Shaohao will become a nightmare for both gods and demons.

After comforting his wife and children, Luo Hou then went to instruct Yue Xunyuan on his studies.

He first handed a set of "Military Scriptures" to Yue Xunyuan: "Your foundation is too weak. Use the Scriptures to improve your foundation first. As for the injured Qi in your body, I will ask Shaohao to use an eighth-grade divine power to expel it for you."

Le Xunyuan was surprised but also puzzled: "Uncle said that the Qi damage from practicing the Ming Qi Martial Scripture cannot be expelled."

"You've only reached the seventh level, so your internal energy reserves aren't very high."

Le Xunyuan was startled: "How did Master know that I had cultivated the Ming Qi Martial Scripture to the seventh level?"

"Because I am your master."

"When can I learn Master's swordsmanship?"

"You can do it now, but you need to possess Extreme Yuan to use the Fallen Star Slaying Technique. Once you have mastered the entire set of Armor and Martial Arts Manuals, you may be able to cultivate Extreme Yuan."

"Could it be Junior Brother Xianling?"

Luo Hou knew that Le Xunyuan was very smart, and another meaning of smart was that he was sensitive. Educating Le Xunyuan would be a skillful task.

He lowered his voice and said slowly, "Liaotian and Xianling's basic skills were taught by Uncle Huangquan. From a young age, the number of times they drew their swords each day was recorded."

"Record?"

"Indeed. Xianling couldn't withstand the demands of my swordsmanship, and since his Shattered Island King Tree spiritual energy was more suitable for learning his mother's martial arts, he abandoned the sword and switched to practicing the halberd."

"Where is Junior Brother Liaotian?"

"Liao Tian broke through to the Innate Realm because he possessed demonic energy. Even so, he was still unable to use the Fallen Star Slaying Technique because his foundation was far from sufficient."

"I understand, thank you, Master."

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. When you seek the distant horizon, remember that cultivation is not only about martial arts, but also about cultivating the heart. Enter the Dao through the heart, and see all things through the Dao."

Le Xunyuan replied respectfully, "Thank you for your teachings, Master."

If he were so inclined, he would naturally look through the records from that time and find out how Liao Tian practiced his sword and how Xian Ling gave up.

Teaching by example is worse than teaching by words.

At the same time that Luo Hou was teaching his disciples, the Celestial One, who had obtained the Three Lights Mirror, led the Earthly One and the group of immortal cultivators to the Immortal Foot.

The Immortal's Foot, according to legend, is the ladder to heaven used by ancient immortals to ascend to heaven, and it is now the private property of Tianji.

The Fairy Foot area features structures such as the Mountain Gate, the Immortal Cultivation Square, the Cloud Gazing Terrace, the Fairy Foot Terrace, and the Fairy Foot Heavenly Pool.

Further up is a floating island, on which are built the Cloud Han Immortal Pavilion, the Azure Cliff Cloud Tree, the Immortal and Mortal Terrace, and the mysterious Heavenly Universe.

Only after the Gates of Heaven open will the floating islands connect with the Celestial Legs, revealing the celestial realm.

The Celestial One handed the Three Lights Mirror to Pin Chouhuang, who then tossed it into the void.

Immortal arts are infused into the artifact, making the precious object come alive, parting the clouds and mist, and illuminating the majestic Heavenly Gate.

Pin Chouhuang explained, "We have successfully summoned the Gates of Heaven. Now we only need to wait for the three lights to shine together, and then the Gates of Heaven will open."

However, three large characters appeared on the tightly closed gates of Heaven: Qin Jiaxian.

Pin Chou stared in astonishment at the three words, then turned to Tian Zhe and said, "Tian Ji means that I should bring Qin Jiaxian here."

"What Qin the Fake Immortal? I'm going in right now."

"this?"

The Heavenly One's anger surged, and with a swift movement of both palms, he unleashed his ultimate move, capable of slaying gods and demons alike.

"Heaven and Earth separate, open!"

Suddenly, the Gates of Heaven were pulled by two unparalleled forces, and the gates, which had never been disturbed by external forces, slowly opened to the left and right.

A soft exclamation came from behind the door: "Eh? Who is so eager to see the handsome face of our God Yu Xiaoyao?"

“I am Chifeitian, and I have come to ask for something.”

"If you come here seeking something, you should abide by the host's rules."

“Chifeitian’s words are the rules.”

"That's easy to say."

Suddenly, an even greater force than before surged from behind the door, slamming towards the sky.

“How dare a mere mortal act so presumptuously.”

The Heavenly One met the attack with a single palm, but the Heavenly Trace's palm force instantly rebounded and slammed into the Gate of Heaven.

The violent blow was like the collapse of the sky and the splitting of the earth, causing the island to shake and the immortals' feet to tremble, leaving the cultivators in a state of panic.

This attack silenced the people inside for a moment, followed by a joyful laugh: "So it's the creator of the Kingdom of the Dead. Shen Yu Xiaoyao, I'm so sorry for not welcoming you properly."

In an instant, three lights shone brightly, dazzling the eye. The giant gate pushed open from the inside out, and a white, graceful figure slowly descended.

"Clad in celestial robes, flowing like clouds and mist, with a graceful front and fluttering sleeves. With jade ink and a gourd of spring wine, one can walk freely or sit with ease."

As the Gates of Heaven opened, the floating island sank and merged with the fairy feet.

As far as the eye can see, the river is filled with seven colors, the mist separates the mortal from the immortals, the eagles cry in the sky, flying alone for thousands of miles; the cranes follow the clouds, soaring straight to the ninth heaven.

The celestial beings finally ascended to the abode of immortal cultivators in the mortal realm, but in the eyes of the gods, what difference is there between immortals and mortals?

Chapter 342 The Yellow Springs, Three Thousand Feet Deep, the Underworld

Those from Heaven and Earth stepped onto the Cloud and Heaven Immortal Pavilion.

Tianji smiled sincerely: "I have been locked inside the gates of Heaven for a long time and have not stepped into the martial world. I am grateful to you for unsealing me. But there is no food, drink, tea or water here. I wonder what the esteemed Heavenly Beings and Earthly Beings need to find here?"

"Shen Yu Xiaoyao, the Heavenly Trace of the Three Transformations of Xuanhuang, personally bestowed by the Lord of Yunhai Immortal Sect. You must be very familiar with Yunhai Immortal Sect. What I am looking for is the Heavenly Book."

"A celestial book? I have many books here, but I really don't know which one is the celestial book."

The Celestial Being coldly stated, "After the Eastern Emperor Xuan Continent was destroyed, the fragments of the Heavenly Book were obtained by the Nine Heavens Mystic Venerable, who recompiled them into the 'Mystic Vein Treasure Mirror'."

Tianji tried his best to maintain a smile. Even if he hadn't recovered from his injuries, he wouldn't be able to defeat the two people in front of him, even in his prime.

The legendary Celestial One was a war god of the Six Heavens Realm. When he left the Six Heavens Realm, his divine power was sealed by the Sun God. But at this moment, the Celestial One's eyes are bright and clear, and the mark of divine sin on his forehead has disappeared, indicating that he has regained his divine power.

The Celestials are no pushovers. They can sacrifice the children of the Dead Kingdom without hesitation, and even punish their own brothers for hundreds of years. They probably wouldn't feel any guilt for killing someone from a Celestial Sect.

"The Mysterious Vein Treasure Mirror does exist, but it is stored in the Hell of Impermanence, and can only be opened with two decrees from my master."

You must have one.

"Yes."

Tianji obediently took out a Xuanzun edict.

"What about the other one?"

"In the hands of the Earthly Netherworld of the Three Vehicles of Xuanhuang."

The celestial being looked suspicious: "Isn't it in the hands of Jun Fengtian, the son of the Nine Heavens Mystic Venerable?"

Tianji maintained his smile: "Of course it's not in Fengtian's hands. Jun Fengtian has long since left the Yunhai Immortal Sect."

The Heavenly One carefully put away the token: "Give me the Road View Map, it's from the Heavenly and Earthly Impermanence Hell."

"The Underworld... perhaps it's three thousand feet below the Yellow Springs."

Tianji drew two maps of the road and sent the Heavenly One and the Earthly One away.

Gradually, the smile on Tianji's face disappeared, and things seemed to have taken a new turn.

"Why is it that the one who came to open the gates of Heaven is not the greatest of men, but a completely unrelated being from the Kingdom of the Dead?"

However, thinking about how shocked the Underworld would be when the Celestial One went to the Yellow Springs, three thousand feet deep, Tianji felt a little better.

If he's going to suffer a setback, he can't be the only one to suffer it, since Di Ming recklessly injured himself at the Peak of Reverse Scale that day.

He recklessly injured him, resulting in both of them being locked up to recover.

As for the Xuanzun's decree, Tianji only knew that he and Jun Fengtian each had a piece, and he didn't actually know whether Diming had one, but he couldn't let Tianzhe disturb Jun Fengtian.

"Given Fengtian's temperament, he certainly won't hand over Master's decree. Rather than letting Fengtian face the wrath of the Heavenly Ones, it's better to let Diming bear it."

What if the Underworld can't deliver the decree?

I hope he can't hand it over and gets a good beating from the Heavenly One.

Tianji recalled that Jiutian Xuanzun had died at the hands of Diming, and his anger surged. The guilt he felt for tricking Diming earlier vanished instantly.

The Celestial One received the decree from the Mysterious Venerable and, together with the Earthly One, immediately arrived at the Yellow Springs, three thousand feet deep.

The Yellow Springs are three thousand feet deep, and the fires of the Nine Springs surge forth from the earth. The fires of hell, which have never been extinguished since ancient times, burn away the sins of the human world.

As the dark clouds surged, the celestial being flicked his sleeve, instantly dispelling the boundless darkness and leaving the evil spirits untouched. The heavenly radiance shone brightly, and the divine purity swept away this bloody and terrifying scene.

Who has come here?

As soon as he finished speaking, a person wearing a black and gold mask, resembling the lord of hell, emerged from within.

"The road to Fengdu is a martyr's path, where heroes are buried in the wilderness. Heaven is silent, earth is speechless, and mortals do not regard humanity as the lowest of the low. The end times are here, and there is no theism."

The Celestial One glanced at the Underworld, a look of disgust on his face: "The guilt you carry tells me that you are the one who brought disaster to the Bitter Realm."

"With just those words, you have triggered the killer's murderous intent."

“Then I might as well do Luo Hou a favor and kill you right here.”

The Heavenly One, anticipating that the Underworld would not obediently hand over the Xuanzun's decree, decided to launch a direct attack. With a flick of his divine power, he took the initiative to strike.

"Holy Sea Strike!"
