I picked up the scattered attributes

Putting aside other things, after any living being dies, its soul returns to the underworld and is reincarnated. But which underworld does it go to, and which cycle of reincarnation does it enter?

"Don't think about those useless things!"

Zu Long gave a low shout, silencing the commotion in the ranks: "The Yellow Springs River has begun to flow again, which is a tremendous opportunity for everyone. As for how much you can comprehend the mysteries of the origin of reincarnation, that depends on yourselves!"

His reminder brought everyone back to their senses.

The reason they came to the Ancient City of You was not to see any conspiracy theories, but for a chance encounter!

The mysteries of the ancient Youdu and the ancient cycle of reincarnation—isn't that the greatest opportunity right before our eyes?

"Senior, what you said is absolutely right."

The deity was not old, and his expression was carefree and composed. Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but laugh: "What do the grudges of the ancient times have to do with us young people? Even if a fight really breaks out, it will be those big shots who will fight each other to the death first!"

“That’s right.” There were also ascetic cultivators who were unmoved by Ling Yun Fairy’s beauty and did not participate in the discussion.

All they care about is the Great Dao, the mysteries of the Great Dao of Reincarnation!

"What do the world's conflicts have to do with us? If a great war really breaks out, or if the ancient god kingdom is to return, it will surely be an unprecedented calamity. If we are not strong enough, we can only become cannon fodder in the calamity."

"Instead of thinking about those schemes and plots, we should focus on improving our own strength and seeking a glimmer of hope for survival in the great calamity to come!"

Fairy Lingyun frowned upon hearing this. She glanced at the group and finally sneered, "You're all talk and no action. How could you possibly comprehend the mysteries of reincarnation? You're overestimating yourselves!"

After saying that, she ignored the others and broke away from the group, heading alone towards another corner of the ancient Youdu.

Among the exploration team, some of the young talents of Ziwei looked at each other in bewilderment and also broke away from the group, chasing after Fairy Lingyun's retreating figure.

Another group of people hesitated for a long time before following after them.

"Senior Zulong, thank you for bringing us here, but the opportunities that follow are up to us to seize!"

"Fairy Lingyun, please wait a moment—"

The entire exploration team was instantly reduced by a third!

This is not a small amount.

Watching those people leave, Zu Long didn't stop them. Instead, he turned his head and sneered, looking at the remaining people:

"Is there anyone else who wants to leave? If not, then let's move on."

The atmosphere was quite oppressive throughout the journey; everyone walked with their heads down, not uttering a single word.

Many people had a premonition, deep down.

This exploration is likely to be more fraught with difficulties than anyone anticipated!

On the other side, there lies a mysterious and unknown land.

The fog was thick, transforming into all sorts of astonishing phenomena.

Deep within that strange phenomenon, nineteen majestic figures stood, their ancient thoughts undulating.

"It can be basically confirmed that the three people's goal is indeed the Ancient Reincarnation."

"Their injuries are severe, their condition is extremely poor, and they have been corrupted by the Bronze Daoist. It will likely be long before they are completely transformed, and then..."

"As for the reappearance of the Yellow Springs, there is no need to worry. There have been many similar cases over the past fifty million years. After all, it is the origin of the cycle of reincarnation in this universe. It itself is also constantly reincarnating, trying to return to a complete and perfect state. Unfortunately, that is no longer possible."

"How is the fighting going on in Ecuador?"

"Those defeated enemies seem to have become active again recently. Do you really think we don't know what they want to do? They simply want to reverse the Great Abyss and return to this universe. However, their plans are destined to come to nothing."

"So, what is the condition of the celestial embryo?"

"It's almost done, but it's still a little lacking in perfection. Those defeated enemies want to come back, don't they? Then let's give them that chance and use their blood to completely forge this immortal embryo for us!"

Ancient Youdu, a place where the Yellow Springs have ceased to flow.

Feng Xia squinted, taking a second look at this desolate land.

The rest of the group had already dispersed, each finding a suitable place to contemplate and comprehend, attempting to gain something from the path of reincarnation.

In fact, there is not much real danger in the ancient Youdu.

"Hmm? This is—"

Suddenly, out of the corner of Feng Xia's eye, he caught a glimpse of a faint shadow!

The shadow was right behind him, beneath his feet, almost completely blending into his own shadow!

He encountered this shadow the last time he came to Youdu!

……

Chapter 1159

Feng Xia still clearly remembers that shadow.

At that moment, a strange, eerie shadow appeared, frightening the little book demon hidden in his sleeve into trembling. Yet, even Ji Yuheng didn't notice a trace of it!

Later, Feng Xia was forced to use the Heavenly Dragon Eight-Tone Bell to summon the Heavenly Pattern Ancient Street and return to ancient times, finally getting rid of that eerie shadow.

Even now, Feng Xia still doesn't know what that strange shadow is!

The only difference is...

Now he can detect the traces of the ghostly figures coming and going, instead of being completely unaware as before, and even being forced to use his most trump card.

At that very moment, he keenly noticed that a shadow that did not belong to him had appeared in the shadow beneath his feet!

"scare!"

A small figure emerged from Feng Xia's sleeve, looking wary and staring in that direction with bared teeth and claws.

It was the little book demon.

"Huh, I didn't expect the little one to be able to sense that eerie shadow?"

Feng Xia raised her eyebrows, revealing a hint of surprise.

Since his last visit to Youdu, his progress has been phenomenal, so it's not surprising that he could sense the appearance of the ghostly figure.

However, this little book demon that he brought out from the Xuanhuang Sacred Mansion's library has always been treated as a pet that he carries with him. Unexpectedly, after so many years, it has made tremendous progress!

Feng Xia suddenly realized that over the years, he had experienced all sorts of dangers, descended into the Netherworld, entered the cycle of reincarnation, and even returned to the past to fight powerful enemies and defeat the strange Dao Ancestor, etc.

Throughout the entire ordeal, the little book demon remained by his side, unharmed.

If it were just an ordinary spirit pet, it would probably be dead long ago!

However, the little book demon was completely unharmed.

"Does this little guy... really not understand anything?"

Looking at the tiny figure peeking out from his sleeve with a nervous expression, Feng Xia couldn't help but frown. Then, he turned his attention back to the eerie shadow.

The eerie shadow lurking in his shadow seemed much less aggressive than last time.

It simply lay there quietly, motionless. Once Feng Xia slightly shifted his attention, its presence would easily fade from view, as if it had never existed at all.

"Could it be that it wasn't coming to attack me?"

Feng Xia frowned: "But why did it crawl into my shadow?"

He pretended nothing had happened and continued walking toward the source of the underworld.

Just then, the voice of the Ancestral Dragon suddenly rang in Feng Xia's mind.

"Fellow Daoist Fengxia, you have quite the grand scheme. The ancient Netherworld was abandoned, and the Yellow Springs flowed dry... But I am very curious, how exactly did you manage to bring the Yellow Springs back to life and revive the River Styx?"

Throughout the myriad realms, the Ancestral Dragon's face remained gloomy, as he occasionally glanced around, seemingly trying to find the person who had been hiding earlier.

However, his voice sounded unusually calm, showing neither the previous rage nor the slightest anxiety.

From beginning to end, the ancient Youdu and the ancient cycle of reincarnation reappear...

It was all part of a grand scheme they had orchestrated over five years!

So far, their performances seem to be quite successful.

Everyone believed that the three of them were extremely weak, which was why they had to repeatedly venture into dangerous situations in an attempt to use the power of reincarnation in the ancient Netherworld to return to their peak!

Even those beings at the source of the strangeness, despite repeated doubts and tests, now seem to have mostly come to believe it.

After all, it is not an easy thing to deceive the strange Dao Ancestor. Under the Heavenly Dao's perception, even an Emperor Realm expert may not be able to deceive the heavens and the sea, let alone the three Ancestral Dragons in a weakened state.

But... Feng Xia actually did it.

Even the proud Demon Dragon Emperor had no choice but to submit when it came to this matter!

As for how Feng Xia managed to do it, they had few clues.

Their original plan was to use this trip to the ancient Youdu to catch a big fish.

However, somewhat unexpectedly for the First Emperor...

Feng Xia not only opened up the ancient Youdu, but also managed to restore the Yellow Springs water that had stopped flowing. Such methods are truly defying the heavens!

“The Yellow Springs have reappeared…” Feng Xia suddenly fell silent, and after a long while, he said, word by word, “The reappearance of the Yellow Springs was not my doing.”

"What did you say?"

"The reappearance of the Underworld, not your doing?"

The Ancestral Dragon and the Demon Dragon Emperor were both stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in unison, "If it wasn't you who did it, why did the Yellow Springs Water suddenly reappear?!"
