Chapter 844: Chapter 863: Situation in the Underworld
“The Other Shore Flower, known as the Death Flower, blooms without leaves, and leaves grow without the flower. It is said that if the flower and leaves bloom together, one could imdiately beco a Saint, as it contains the path of Life and Death Reincarnation.”
Minghe Ancestor spoke in a deep voice, pausing slightly to look at Ye Xuan, and continued, “Moreover, this legend may not be true, for in all Heaven and Earth, there has never been an Other Shore Flower with both flower and leaves. Where did you obtain this information?”
Hearing Minghe Ancestor’s words, Ye Xuan slowly recounted his conversation with Emperor Fengdu, causing Minghe Ancestor to gradually fall into contemplation.
“Although the Five Ghost Emperors are nominally in charge of the entire Underworld, they are not the supre authorities here. There are only a few truly terrifying individuals. The words of Emperor Fengdu cannot be fully trusted,” Minghe Ancestor said in a deep voice.
“ng Po?” Ye Xuan whispered.
“Yes, ng Po, this person is not simple.”
Minghe Ancestor nodded heavily, then paced back and forth, saying, “Since the existence of the Underworld, ng Po has appeared on Naihe Bridge, sending souls to reincarnation from the Primordial Era to the present. Even I do not know her origin, her background is extrely mysterious.”
“Indeed!” Ye Xuan murmured, a strange flicker passing through his eyes.
“Could it be that you know her origins?” Seeing the fleeting strange expression on Ye Xuan’s face, Minghe Ancestor was montarily stunned and voiced his suspicion.
“I’m not certain if it’s her, but if she is indeed that person, why has she remained in the Underworld all along, and what is her purpose?” Ye Xuan murmured.
Watching Ye Xuan muttering to himself, Minghe Ancestor was utterly helpless, knowing Ye Xuan must have so information, but as the other party was unwilling to speak, he refrained from further questioning.
“No matter what, the Other Shore Flower is about to bloom. Regardless of whether it can make one a Saint imdiately, it certainly contains the Law of Life and Death. This object is of great use to , and you and I should work together to obtain it,” Ye Xuan’s thoughts turned, speaking to Minghe Ancestor in a deep voice.
“What can you offer ?” Minghe Ancestor asked bluntly, his gaze fixed intently on Ye Xuan.
“An offer?”
Ye Xuan smiled, and his smile was so sinister that Minghe Ancestor was stunned on the spot, a growing sense of unease burgeoning within him.
“Minghe, do you know what situation you’re in now?” Ye Xuan paced back and forth beside Minghe Ancestor, his smile unfading.
“Ye Xuan, what do you an?” Minghe Ancestor’s expression changed slightly, looking at Ye Xuan with slight vigilance.
“Minghe, it seems you still haven’t understood your current situation!”
Ye Xuan sighed theatrically, “The Western Two Saints already know that the Hongng Purple Qi is in your hands. Back then, you helped in the battle against the Ancient Demon Court, indirectly offending Nuwa and Primordial. Even if you hide away in the Netherworld Blood Sea, you’ll eventually face the wrath of the Saints.”
“Moreover, don’t forget, the saying ‘the Blood Sea never dries, Minghe never dies’ is rely a phrase. It’s not that the Saints can’t kill you, it’s just that doing so would cause too much commotion.”
“And that’s just one aspect. If my identity is exposed, the Western Two Saints will not spare you first. At that point, not only will Minghe die, but the Asura Clan will also be completely annihilated,” Ye Xuan said gently.
“Are you threatening ?” Minghe Ancestor’s expression was as dark as water, glaring at Ye Xuan with hatred.
Ye Xuan slowly shook his head, “No, no, Minghe, haven’t you figured it out yet?”
“You will never be able to enter the Saint Realm in your lifeti. Your only hope is with . As long as I can beco a Saint, the Six Great Saints will naturally not dare to act against you, and don’t forget, if I beco a Saint and unite with the Heavenly Sect Master, who in the Three Realms besides Hong Jun can defy ?” Ye Xuan smiled.
“Ye Xuan, it seems you’ve got thoroughly cornered!” Minghe Ancestor exclaid in frustration, though his words were full of helplessness.
It was at this mont that Minghe Ancestor suddenly realized; when Ye Xuan lent him the Hongng Purple Qi, he had already fallen into Ye Xuan’s trap.
If he could beco a Saint with the Hongng Purple Qi, it would still be acceptable, but as he lacked the opportunity to beco a Saint, he was now in a situation with no retreat, compelled to follow Ye Xuan’s path to the end.
“Minghe, you are a smart individual, you should understand how to decide,” Ye Xuan said seriously.
“What do you want to do?” Minghe Ancestor sighed sadly, understanding that he had no choice but to cooperate with Ye Xuan.
“You are the Sect Hierarch of Minghe, controlling the Asura Clan, a significant figure in the Underworld. I need you to accompany to the Grand Feast of Ten Thousand Ghosts to uncover all hidden threats in the Underworld, and I am determined to obtain the Other Shore Flower,” Ye Xuan said in a deep voice.
“I have already told you, the legend of the Other Shore Flower is false; no one can verify what it truly does. You have already retrieved the Hongng Purple Qi; if you focus solely on comprehending it, you can undeniably achieve rit to Saint, so why covet the Other Shore Flower?” Minghe Ancestor frowned.
“rit to Saint?” Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression sowhat grim.
Ye Xuan would not tell Minghe Ancestor that if he wished for rit to Saint, he could achieve it anyti by absorbing the Hongng Purple Qi into his body, refining the Five-Colored Divine Stone to patch the Heavenly Vault, and thus becoming the seventh Saint imdiately.
To beco a Saint!
This temptation was imnse for Ye Xuan, but what he truly desired was not rit to Saint, rather, he wanted to prove Dao with Power, to beco the Saint among Saints.
rit to Saint would be a path only considered when all other options were exhausted, and unless it was the last mont, he would certainly not choose this path.
“Ye Xuan, I must remind you that the Underworld is a complex web of forces, and ng Po is just one part of it; there is another person you must pay attention to.” As Ye Xuan was lost in thought, Minghe Ancestor spoke gravely, prompting Ye Xuan to look up at him.
“Who?”
“The last of the Ten Yama Kings—King Zhuanlun!” Minghe Ancestor spoke heavily.
“King Zhuanlun?”
Ye Xuan frowned, unfamiliar not with the na, but puzzled why King Zhuanlun would differ from the other nine Yamas, who were rely of Daluo Golden Immortal cultivation.
“The other nine Yamas are re Daluo Golden Immortals and must obey the Five Ghost Emperors, but King Zhuanlun is different. He guards the Six Paths of Reincarnation for infinite ti, unseen to ever act, shrouded in mystery like ng Po. I suspect he and ng Po are significantly connected,” Minghe Ancestor said gravely.
“Things are becoming more interesting!” Ye Xuan muttered thoughtfully.
The ensuing matters beca straightforward. In the Netherworld Blood Sea, Minghe Ancestor and Ye Xuan talked for three days and nights, describing the Underworld’s situation to Ye Xuan in detail.
