Primordial Era: I, Hongyun, take charge of the literary path

After confirming that a primordial array truly existed in the valley, Hongyun did not rush in. Just because the Eight Desolate Ox could enter the array unharmed did not mean that he could as well.

Hongyun has always been very cautious, and under these circumstances, she doesn't want to be caught off guard and suffer a setback.

With the help of the Wen Yun Diagram, Hong Yun began to comprehend this unknown innate grand formation. Unlike the formations he had comprehended before, this grand formation seemed to be related to death, making it an extremely rare innate grand formation.

"This is... the Primordial Netherworld Grand Array?"

Hongyun found it strange. Houtu hadn't yet undergone reincarnation, and Youming hadn't been born yet. Where did the Youming Formation come from?

Hongyun spent tens of thousands of years comprehending this Netherworld Formation, but his efforts were not in vain. Comprehending the formation allowed him to grasp a trace of the laws of the Netherworld.

After that, Hongyun passed through the Netherworld Formation and entered the formation's interior, where it became a world of its own.

As far as Hongyun could see, countless kinds of magical herbs and plants grew, each exuding a ghostly aura.

Hongyun didn't take the spiritual herbs; he wanted to find the Eight Desolate Ox first and eliminate this potential threat.

Soon, Hongyun found the Eight Desolate Ox.

This guy was fast asleep on a pile of magical herbs, his injuries had healed, and he was instinctively absorbing the power of the Netherworld.

An Eight Desolate Ox that is compatible with the power of the netherworld?

Hongyun shook his head, pointed a finger, and a ray of light flashed from his fingertip, transforming into a sword aura that pierced through the head of the Eight Desolate Ox, obliterating its consciousness.

Such a person, radiating malevolent energy and burdened with karmic retribution, can be eliminated without incurring negative karma; killing him is simply a matter of killing him.

After dealing with the Eight Desolate Oxen, Hongyun headed towards the core of the Innate Netherworld Array's spatial structure.

But as he walked, Hongyun noticed an invisible repulsive force that was pushing him away.

Hongyun suddenly realized why the Eight Desolate Ox was only on the outer perimeter; it turned out that there was a force inside preventing it from getting close, so it couldn't approach the core area at all.

Thinking of this, Hongyun released a trace of the Netherworld Law he had comprehended, and the repulsive force instantly disappeared.

Before long, Hongyun arrived at the core of the Netherworld Array space, where there was a purple-gold stone platform.

On the stone platform lies a purple calligraphy brush with concentric golden patterns, resembling a cycle of reincarnation, exuding an aura of cyclical existence.

"This is... the Judge's Pen?!"

Hongyun's eyes widened. The Judge's Pen, also known as the Reincarnation Pen, is a precious treasure concerning reincarnation. The spiritual treasure that comes with the Judge's Pen is the Book of Life and Death.

The Book of Life and Death is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, while the Judge's Pen (Reincarnation Pen) is also a high-grade innate spiritual treasure.

"We've struck it rich! We've struck it rich! The Great Dao has smiled upon us!"

A look of surprise immediately appeared on Hongyun's face, and she couldn't help but burst into excited laughter.

If he obtains the Judge's Pen, regardless of his past, from this moment on, Hongyun will be destined to be involved in the cycle of reincarnation, and will inevitably be qualified to get involved in the affairs of the underworld in the cycle of reincarnation in the future.

How could Hongyun not be pleasantly surprised?

After the initial excitement, Hongyun tried to retrieve the Judge's Pen. After Hongyun used the laws of the underworld to entice it, the Judge's Pen trembled slightly and ultimately did not resist his refinement.

As a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Judge's Pen has a total of thirty-six innate restrictions.

However, after refining it, Hongyun discovered that the cycle of reincarnation had not been established, the Netherworld had not been reached, and the power of the Judge's Pen could not be fully displayed even with the cultivation of the matching Book of Life and Death.

In Hongyun's hands, the Judge's Pen could barely be considered an offensive magical artifact; the death energy on it was still quite troublesome, even for a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Then, Hongyun looked at the stone platform that held the Judge's Pen. It turned out that it was not a stone, but a metal that looked like a stone, called Netherworld True Gold.

Netherworld Gold is a divine gold filled with the power of the Netherworld, and it should only exist in the Netherworld.

However, it was because of the Judge's Pen that this top-tier treasure ended up in Hongyun's hands.

Upon seeing the Netherworld Gold, Hongyun thought of many ways to use it, such as refining magical artifacts with Netherworld power, which would definitely have a good effect.

The Netherworld has not yet appeared in the world, and people's understanding of it is almost zero. If magic weapons are made from Netherworld gold and used to trick people, they would be absolutely... incredibly cunning.

Hongyun put away the Netherworld Gold. After losing the Judge's Pen and the Netherworld Gold, the Innate Netherworld Array collapsed, and the Netherworld Qi within it spread throughout the entire mountain range.

Then, right under Hongyun's nose, this seemingly ordinary mountain range, under the erosion of the Netherworld Qi, seemed to have transformed into a ghost mountain, eerie and mysterious.

If he hadn't known this was the primordial world, he would have thought he had fallen into the underworld; the place looked too eerie.

Hongyun asked curiously, "Without the Judge's Pen, where did all this Netherworld energy come from?"

Thinking of this, Hongyun used his divine sense to search for the source of the Netherworld Qi and finally found a spring.

The Netherworld Spring, it seems to connect to the Netherworld, and the Netherworld energy flows into the primordial world through the spring.

Hongyun wanted to dive in and find the yet-to-be-born Netherworld, but the Netherworld Spring was indistinguishable in terms of up, down, left, and right, and he didn't know which way to go.

Moreover, the space there is extremely stable, making it very difficult for even Hongyun to tear it apart.

Hongyun was worried about getting lost, so she didn't go any deeper and soon flew out of the spring.

However, Hongyun did not come away empty-handed. There was a kind of holy water in the spring that only existed in the Netherworld.

That is the Netherworld Holy Water, which is formed by condensing a massive amount of Netherworld essence.

The aura of the netherworld symbolizes death, and the power condensed from death should be the ultimate death, but the holy water of the netherworld represents the vitality born from death.

In terms of vitality and creation, the Three Lights Divine Water ranks first, so the Netherworld Holy Water can compete for the top three.

It should be known that the Three Lights Divine Water is composed of Sunlight Divine Water, Moonlight Divine Water, and Starlight Divine Water. Each of the three lights alone is poison, but when combined, it is a blessing.

The Three Lights Divine Water contains abundant vitality and is a holy product for healing; a single drop can "bring the dead back to life and heal bones."

Moreover, this Three Lights Divine Water is also the most beloved divine water for cultivators who practice water-based supernatural abilities. It can be used to heal injuries and create supernatural abilities, with many wonderful uses.

Although the effects of the Netherworld Holy Water are not as powerful as the Three Lights Divine Water, it is no less effective in bringing the dead back to life.

Hongyun collected more than a dozen drops of Netherworld Holy Water, which had been accumulated by the Netherworld Spring for countless years, and now he had scraped it all clean in one go.

Next, Hongyun walked through the Netherworld Mountain again and collected some rare and precious treasures unique to the Netherworld.

The changes in Netherworld Mountain were so great that they quickly attracted some prying eyes. Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal looked over after sensing the residual aura of treasures here.

During the heyday of the three races, "Golden Immortals were no better than dogs, and Great Luo Immortals were everywhere." After the three races fell, these Great Luo Golden Immortals who had escaped the great calamity became arrogant and domineering.

Just as Hongyun finished looting Netherworld Mountain and was about to leave, a large bird tore through space and emerged.

Hongyun frowned as she looked at the uninvited guest.

The large bird resembled a crane, but had only one leg. Its feathers were blue with red markings. When it stood on the ground, strange blue-red flames naturally rose from the earth.

Upon seeing this large bird, Hongyun recognized its identity: a primordial beast, the Bird of Prophecy, Bifang.
