Houtu is infatuated with me, so I made her lean against the wall.

While Bodhi continued his journey through the primordial world, on the other side, Qin Ming rode the Fire Kirin, speeding westward toward the Blood Sea.

The Blood Sea is located at the border between the Eastern and Western continents.

This place, stretching for thousands of miles, is barren and desolate.

All of this is because this place was formed from the filth of the Great God Pangu and the blood of the Chaos Demon God.

Back when the great god Pangu created the world, a group of chaotic gods and demons came to stop him, but were killed by the great god Pangu.

Blood was spilled in the newborn world.

However, these chaotic demons already contained overwhelming chaotic evil energy, and before being killed by the great god Pangu, they generated overwhelming resentment.

If this blood is allowed to spill across the primordial world, it will only continue to erode the very essence of the primordial world.

So, the great god Pangu used his great powers to gather all this blood here.

After the creation of the world, the great god Pangu, exhausted, decomposed, and his body transformed into all things in the universe. Only a mass of filthy blood within his body could not evolve into anything else, and it fell into this place where the blood of the chaotic demon gods gathered, transforming into a boundless sea of ​​blood.

It is also because the filthy blood and the blood of the Chaos Demon God contain a strong baleful aura that no spiritual roots or living beings can be born around the Blood Sea.

Of course, there are always exceptions.

In those days, the Chaos Lotus decomposed, and five seeds were scattered across the primordial wilderness.

One of the seeds fell upon this sea of ​​blood, unexpectedly enveloping the Seed of Slaughter, and the two became interdependent.

Under the protection of this seed, the Seed of Killing gradually developed sentience and transformed into a primordial deity.

This is the River Styx in the Sea of ​​Blood.

The Styx River was born from the boundless Blood Sea and was born to control the Blood Sea, thus becoming its master.

He was no weaker than any other innate deity. He possessed a sea of ​​blood and transformed it into 1.296 billion blood god clones, which were said to be as long as the sea of ​​blood never dried up and the Styx River never died.

In addition, he possesses the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Red Lotus of Karmic Fire, and is protected by two high-grade innate spiritual treasures of the Killing Path, the Yuan Tu A Bi, making him extremely powerful.

"Sir, what are we doing in this godforsaken place?"

Huo Lin looked around at the desolate landscape and the stench-filled, churning sea of ​​blood in front of him, where remnant souls gathered in twos and threes, emitting ghostly howls. A human-like look of disgust appeared on Huo Lin's face.

"Although this place is desolate, it is extremely important to the primordial world."

"Where there is light, there is darkness; yin and yang are opposites yet mutually generative."

"You will know in time."

As he spoke, Qin Ming summoned the Twenty-Fourth Grade Pure World White Lotus, which emitted a pure world divine light, enveloping himself and Huo Lin within it, and then slowly flew towards the sea of ​​blood.

The powerful purifying divine light, upon encountering the sea of ​​blood, caused the impurities within it to dissolve on their own.

Even the lingering, howling souls along the way became completely quiet after coming into contact with this purifying divine light, their malevolent and baleful auras completely disintegrated.

It seems that if the cycle of reincarnation were to begin in the future, these wandering souls would have a good place to go.

Qin Ming rode the Twenty-Fourth Grade Pure World White Lotus at breakneck speed towards the depths of the Blood Sea. At the same time, his Great Dao Divine Eye was operating at full power, and a rich Daoist aura flowed continuously in Qin Ming's eyes.

A hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye, but Qin Ming still has gained nothing.

"This entrance to the Netherworld is really well hidden. Are we going to leave empty-handed this time?"

Qin Ming frowned.

The entrance to the underworld was even harder to find than he had imagined.

He possessed the Great Dao Divine Eye, and his cultivation had reached the peak of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, comparable to a half-step Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal. Even so, after searching with all his might for ten thousand years, he still couldn't find the slightest clue.

This shows just how deeply hidden this entrance to the underworld is.

Most importantly, this sea of ​​blood was extremely filthy. Although it could not cause him any harm, it did affect his perception of the aura of the Heavenly Dao.

"Should we perhaps summon Houtu here?"

Houtu is the destined master of the underground passage. No matter how filthy the Blood Sea is, or how deeply the entrance to the Netherworld is hidden, as long as Houtu, the destined master of the underground passage, comes here, she can still find clues.

After a moment's thought, Qin Ming shook his head: "No, the Reincarnation Origin hasn't been refined into an avatar for Houtu yet, and her own cultivation is only at the mid-stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm. If she comes here rashly, she might be drawn into Reincarnation prematurely if she is pulled by an opportunity."

"In this way, even if the Earthly Path is invoked, Houtu will lose her physical body, thus greatly damaging her essence, which will be detrimental to her future cultivation."

"Enough. Let's continue the search for ten thousand years. If we find nothing, I will go to Houtu and give her this source of reincarnation to help her create an avatar."

As he spoke, Qin Ming rode the Pure World White Lotus, sitting on the back of the Fire Kirin. He sensed the presence of the Heavenly Dao while simultaneously using his Great Dao Divine Eye to deduce the many secrets of the Blood Sea.

Daoist laws swirled around Qin Ming, helping him to obtain the secrets hidden within the Blood Sea.

Deep within the sea of ​​blood, within a terrifying innate formation, a red lotus flower engulfed in eerie flames floats in mid-air.

On the lotus, a pool of blood shifted and changed shape, and beside it, two divine swords constantly revolved around the blood.

"Who is this Taoist priest?"

"What is he looking for this time?"

"Could it be that they are looking for me?"

The blood kept gushing out, uttering muttered words.

At this moment, he had already reached the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, only half a step away from successfully transforming into human form once he comprehended the Law of Killing.

However, Qin Ming's arrival startled him awake.

The powerful Twenty-Fourth Grade Pure White Lotus and the unfathomable Qin Ming—all of this sent chills down his spine.

"Damn it, he's found us! Blood Sea Formation, activate!"

Just as the blood was muttering to itself, it suddenly appeared that Qin Ming was rushing towards them.

In this situation, the blood nearly spilled out in shock, and he hurriedly circulated his magic power to activate the great formation with all his might.

On the other side, Qin Ming was searching for a place where the aura of the Heavenly Dao converged when he suddenly sensed a strange fluctuation.

Without a moment to think, Qin Ming immediately sped towards this direction.

Looking at the operating array, Qin Ming narrowed his eyes: "The Blood Sea Array, it seems this is where the true body of the Styx River is located."

Thinking of this, Qin Ming's lips curled up. He originally thought that these innate saints would not be so easy to find before they took human form. Even if he knew their approximate location, he would not be able to sense them as long as they did not reveal their identities.

Unexpectedly, the Styx River inadvertently leaked a trace of its aura, which Qin Ming, who was already fully activating his Great Dao Divine Eye, detected.

The Styx River carries the twelve grades of the Red Lotus of Karmic Fire.

This red lotus shares the same origin as the Pure World White Lotus. If one obtains it, it might even elevate one's foundation once again.

As for whether the Styx River will give it to him or not, that's not up to him.

Qin Ming activated the Twenty-Fourth Grade Pure World White Lotus. In an instant, the vast Pure World Law shone with boundless light, and the Pure World Divine Light transformed into a pillar of light, instantly piercing through the Blood Sea Formation.

"Great Immortal, spare my life!"

Upon seeing how powerful Qin Ming was, the Styx Ancestor was terrified and immediately begged for mercy.
