Chapter 617: Nine Nether Remains
When Luo Jun entered the Valley of Death, it was like a tiger entering a herd of fat sheep. When the Great Sage Huangfeng saw the dog food bowl, his eyes glowed green, and he held the Huiyuan Ding in his hand and swept away everything in his path like a whirlwind!
But it was a pity for those red-clothed evil spirits in the Valley of Death. When they first saw the outsiders, they excitedly pounced on them and planned to eat them alive. However, they soon discovered that this juicy-looking fellow was more than just prickly!
Soon, the entire Valley of Death was filled with the screams of ghosts, which lasted all night long.

"belch……"

Luo Jun, who had just drunk a cup of nectar, burped for a long time, feeling the full vitality in his body. He sat down on the spot, asked Ailontan and Lilith to protect him, and began to practice.

I have to say that the buffet at Death Valley is really large in quantity and full in size. In just one day, Luo Jun has already consumed his vitality for the third time, and his efficiency is unprecedentedly high.

But even though so much has been eliminated, there is still no sign of it being able to disappear.

It seems that it is still a long way to go before reaching the bottleneck.

But Luo Jun was not in a hurry. Soon, this round of vitality was almost consumed. Luo Jun stood up with Huiyuan Ding and looked at the purple color in the deepest part of the Valley of Death not far away.

"Jiuyou..." Luo Jun thought of the information he had dug out from Granny Long's mind.

In ancient legends, there was a terrifying evil ghost that was subdued by the first generation of Heavenly Master!

Luo Jun had also seen some information about Liangyi Mountain on the forum.

This is the most authentic and oldest sect in the spiritual world. It is even more representative of the spiritual world than the official supernatural response department.

As a world full of ghosts and monsters, [Spiritual] naturally has no shortage of practitioners who can subdue demons and catch ghosts. Since ancient times, there have been many sects and independent practitioners everywhere. But no matter how other sects rise and fall, the leader of the cultivation world has always been Liangyi Mountain.

In modern times, the government wanted to organize an official agency to deal with ghosts and monsters, and incorporated countless sects and independent practitioners. Naturally, it also talked to the old Taoist priest of Liangyi Mountain.

But the old Taoist priest said that if the government needed help, Liangyi Mountain would cooperate, but recruiting them was absolutely unacceptable. The Taoists of Liangyi Mountain did not practice in order to gain a position in the government.

Although the authorities felt it was a pity, the old Heavenly Master was a living immortal who had lived for at least several hundred years, and Liangyi Mountain was also a famous sect with many masters, deeply loved by the people and the cultivation community. In the end, the authorities still respected the old Heavenly Master's opinion. Although they did not recruit him, they also allocated a lot of funds for the renovation and expansion of Liangyi Mountain, which provided a lot of convenience for the operation of the sect.

For more than a hundred years, Liangyi Mountain has been a non-governmental organization independent of the official authorities. However, its combat capability is far superior to that of the official response department, and it has played the role of a stabilizing force. Only when the official authorities encounter problems that are difficult to solve will they invite the masters of Liangyi Mountain to come out.

Yuan Xiuhui had naturally investigated such a powerful organization. Since entering [Spiritual], it had visited and exchanged ideas in the name of Puhua University more than once to collect intelligence.

Finally, according to the evaluation of the Yuan Xiu Association, Liangyi Mountain is a rare sect in the [Spiritual] that retains a complete cultivation system and method. In addition to the old Tianshi, the immortal master, there are more than one peak elders sitting here. It is undoubtedly the most powerful cultivator force in the [Spiritual].

Moreover, according to legend, Liangyi Mountain was also the earliest cultivation force with a history of thousands of years. There had been more than one living immortal with a lifespan of hundreds of years. There are innumerable folk legends about these immortals, and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false. Among them, the most famous is the story of "Tianshi Zhenjiuyou".

The first Heavenly Master in this story was considered the most powerful Heavenly Master of all time. Although his whereabouts were unknown later, people said that he ascended to the fairyland and protected his disciples from generation to generation.

Experts from the Yuan Xiu Society have also analyzed this legend. In the history of Liangyi Mountain, there have been more than one immortals, but their status in the sect is far inferior to that of the first generation. If it weren't for the first generation filter, perhaps this first Heavenly Master could really be a being above the immortals.

However, this argument is still considered unreliable by most people. After all, it is common practice for such a religious sect to exaggerate the earliest ancestors. Moreover, if the first generation is really above the level of Yuhua, then the legendary Jiuyou, who fought hard with the first generation, is also a being of the same level? Could it be that Tianshi suppressing Jiuyou describes a war between gods?
Therefore, most people still tend to believe that the First Heavenly Master and Jiuyou were both at the Immortal Realm level, but they were highly respected due to their age, and the stories that have been passed down for many years have been embellished with some details.

Luo Jun originally thought so, but now, the legendary remains of Jiuyou are right in front of him, which makes him change his mind!

Both Ashlia and Gabriel, after being upgraded to summoned mythical treasures, possessed peak-level combat power, but they were powerless in front of the purple mist, which was only the energy unconsciously emitted by Jiuyou's remains. You know, although there is a huge gap between the peak and the metamorphosis, a sealed or even dead metamorphosis cannot suppress a living peak by just the aura it emits!
Based on this point alone, Jiuyou cannot just be in the state of immortality!

Could it be an existence of that level?

Luo Jun walked to the purple mist with some excitement and slowly stretched out his hand.

The moment he came into contact with the purple mist, he felt that this force was trying to devour his vitality and disturb his mind. However, he had almost no vitality to devour now, and in terms of physical and mental strength alone, even Yuhua might not be his opponent. He had helped Gabriel maintain his sanity in the purple mist before, and now it was his turn, so naturally it was no problem at all.

Although he was not affected, Luo Jun could still feel that the power contained in the purple mist was extremely overbearing. At least he had never seen this level of aura on the living Yuhua!
It seems there is no escape!
Luo Jun licked his lips, picked up the Huiyuan Ding, and tried to refine the purple mist!
This kind of mist that contained the aura of madness and evil was naturally not so easy to refine, but relying on the ability borrowed from Aishilia, he once again turned his five fingers into straws, continuously absorbing nectar, replenishing his vitality as it was consumed.

No matter how difficult the power is to refine, no matter how much vitality is consumed, it is nothing compared to the nectar that is finally brewed. Just like that, Luo Jun began to draw the power of the purple mist at an extremely high speed, brewing nectar to continuously enrich his internal energy!

This time, it was faster than hunting those red-clothed evil spirits. In the blink of an eye, it could fill the meridians throughout the body, and then eliminate them by using internal energy.

Luo Jun was even too lazy to toss back and forth, and simply sat in the purple mist, relying on his extraordinary mental strength to do two things at once, refining and practicing the saintly skills at the same time!
Just like this, Luo Jun was like a bottomless pit, and this large area of ​​purple mist was like a bathtub with the plug pulled out. All the energy swirled towards Luo Jun and was transformed into nectar by him, absorbed into his body and consumed...

Even at this efficiency, it took a full five minutes for the surrounding purple mist to finally become thin and transparent, and eventually dissipated. Seeing this, Luo Jun hurriedly stopped the practice and finally stopped the terrible corrosive effect before his body was exhausted and began to collapse.

You know, Luo Jun drained the energy of the feathered monster that possessed Hades in just over a minute. Although the power extracted far exceeded the endurance limit of his meridians, he managed to hold on thanks to his strong bones.

However, the amount absorbed this time has far exceeded that of before. Without the help of the saint's skills to eliminate it, Luo Jun is sure that no matter how strong his bones are, he will not be able to withstand so much power rushing through his meridians!

It can only be said that it is worthy of being a mythical power. Luo Jun feels that the power he has absorbed in so many days after entering the [Supernatural] is probably not as much as in these five minutes!
Looking at the blank space revealed after the purple mist dissipated, Luo Jun frowned slightly.

"Is this what the purple mist hides?" Because of the purple mist that has been lingering for thousands of years, this place is barren. Near the center is a large sunken pit. The pit seems to have been melted by high temperature. After cooling, a large amount of obsidian-like material was left. In the center of the pit, there lies a skeleton with a broken wooden sword stuck in its chest...

Luo Jun walked forward curiously and came to the side of the skeleton. He found that half of the skeleton was buried in obsidian. The exposed part could be seen to be much larger than the skeleton of an ordinary person. It was estimated that the height was at least three meters when he was alive. Moreover, many details of this skeleton were not like those of a human. For example, there were traces of two broken horns on the forehead, and the mouth was full of crocodile-like jagged teeth. The fingertips were as sharp as the claws of a beast, and there were sharp bone spurs on the elbows, shoulders, and knees.

Not only that, I don’t know if it’s because of its age, but the skull is not the grayish white color of bone, but has become jade-like, presenting a crystal clear translucent material.

"Is this Jiuyou?" Luo Jun stretched out his hand curiously.

"Master, be careful!" Ailontan reminded from the side: "Although this skeleton looks dead, it still exudes an ominous evil spirit. I am afraid that it will be alarmed by external forces and resurrected again..."

"I know my limits." Luo Jun nodded and pointed at the wooden sword stuck in the chest of the skeleton: "Although it looks like just a piece of broken wood, I can feel that it contains extremely high-purity energy. It should be the magic weapon used by the first generation of heavenly masters to suppress this thing. As long as this is here, this skeleton will not be able to turn over."

As he spoke, Luo Jun picked up the Huiyuan Ding and pointed it at the skeleton.

"Master, what do you want to do?" Lilith asked in surprise, "Isn't the Huiyuan Ding only capable of refining vital energy?"

"Can't you feel it?" Luo Jun pointed at the skeleton and said, "This is what Yuan Qi condensed into?"

"Energy condensation?" Several people were surprised: "But this thing is a bit evil, and I can't feel the fluctuation of energy."

"It's because it's too solid, so I can't feel it." Luo Jun nodded: "I guess that Jiuyou back then should have been a spiritual body that had cultivated to the extreme, strong enough to condense a physical body with vital energy, so this skeleton is a ball of extremely concentrated, solidified vital energy!"

"But if the master refines the remains of the Nine Netherworld here, will it attract the attention of the agents outside?" Alontan asked, "After all, this is no different from the others. It might cause a big commotion."

Luo Jun nodded: "That makes sense."

So, he opened the game of Fortune again and reached for the skill card.

This time, I won’t use the dice at all. I’ll just set up defensive skills and start drawing continuously!
All of a sudden, in the center of the deep pit, rays of vital energy lit up, and layers of protective shields of various shapes and functions were generated out of thin air, surrounding Luo Jun and Jiu You with three layers inside and three layers outside, so that not a single sound could be heard!

This should be foolproof now!

Luo Jun clapped his hands, took out the Huiyuan Ding again, and pressed it down on the head of Jiuyou Skeleton!

Liangyi Mountain, Tianshi Mansion.

The disciple who was cleaning the ancestral hall suddenly shivered for no reason, looked up, and opened his mouth in surprise.

Suddenly, a hideous crack appeared on the tablet of the first Heavenly Master enshrined in the center of the hall!

"It's not good!" The disciple ran out of the ancestral hall and came to the General Affairs Office: "Master, it's not good!"

The General Affairs Office of the Tianshi Mansion in Liangyi Mountain is managed by Wu Shi, a current disciple of the Tianshi Mansion.

This is because the current old Heavenly Master attained enlightenment and passed away hundreds of years ago, and the disciples he accepted back then have long passed away. If it were like an ordinary sect, where the teachings were passed down from generation to generation, then the ordinary disciples now would be his disciples for at least a dozen generations, and the generations would be easily confused.

Therefore, the seniority ranking of disciples in Tianshi Mansion is somewhat special.

Those who were chosen by the old master and taught personally were called true disciples, and they had the highest status and were the most respected in the sect. This kind of thing existed in every generation, and regardless of seniority, they were all called brothers.

As for those non-true disciples, they were ranked by number. All the disciples of the true disciples were called the first generation, and their next generation was called the second generation. The second generation disciples were not allowed to accept disciples.

In other words, no matter which era, under the old Heavenly Master, there are only three generations of disciples: the true teachings, the first generation, the second generation, and the like.

Wu Shi is the oldest first-generation disciple who is still alive. The second-generation disciples all respectfully call him Uncle Grandmaster.

"What did you say?" Wu Shi was originally settling accounts with a few second-generation disciples. After listening to the younger disciple's report, he was horrified: "The tablet is cracked? And it belongs to the founder?!"

"If it's cracked, just replace it..." A second-generation disciple who was counting the goods nearby said in confusion, "Isn't it just a piece of wood? Didn't the master always teach us that when practicing Taoism, we should not be attached to external objects. Objects are for people to use. If they are broken, just replace them with new ones..."

"What do you know!" Wu Shi scolded, "This is different... You guys continue to take inventory here, I'll go find Master to report!"

As he said this, he threw the account book to a few second-generation disciples and ran away in a hurry, muttering as he ran: "This is going to be a big deal!"
