Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 159: The Nine Netherworld Devouring World, a Millennium of Killings

"Lin She, how is the situation at the family's spiritual medicine garden?"

Deep in the Yellow Springs Valley, there is a different world in the dark underground cave.

I saw a huge ancient tree, like a giant pillar connecting the sky and the earth, supporting the upper and lower parts of the cave, as if it was supporting the sky.

On top of the huge ancient tree, there grew an extremely old face, and an old man named Lin Qinian, who had a human head and a snake body, was listening to instructions below it.

"In reply to our ancestor, Lin Feng, Lin Chan, and Lin Xian, the three of them are watching over there. Nothing is wrong. Everything is fine in the family medicine garden."

"Well... when you go back, collect all the spiritual medicines." said the old face on the ancient tree.

"What? Most of the spiritual herbs in our ancestor's family medicine garden are not yet mature. It will be a huge loss if we pick them all now." Lin Qinian said anxiously.

"Confused. Once the path to the underworld is opened, the Nine Netherworld will devour the world, and the world will turn upside down. How can the spiritual medicine garden be preserved?

Moreover, if he is really saved, and is discovered by other sects and caught in a sore spot, that would be a huge problem.”

"Yes." After the old ancestor said this, Lin Qinian finally lowered his head.

"Okay, go do your work."

"Ancestor, Lin Feng, Lin Chan, and Lin Xian are there. This matter only requires a magic talisman, and anyone can be sent to complete it. Please let me stay and help the family."

Lin Qinian gazed into the darkness in the cave and said this.

For today's plan, the family spent a huge price to invite two masters. They are indeed capable of fulfilling the Lin family's thousand-year wish, but they are also very dangerous.

"Go ahead, Lin Moth and the others are with me, it'll be fine."

"Lin Snake, obey your command." Lin Qinian finally turned into a pitch-black whirlwind and flew away in the direction of the Huangquan Valley family's spiritual medicine garden.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, it seems that you, the junior, do not trust us very much."

At this time, two people walked out of the darkness of the cave. One of them was wearing a green Taoist robe. He looked a little old but had a bit of immortal air. The other was a middle-aged man wearing a black robe and had an indifferent expression.

"Hahahaha, Fellow Daoist Cheng, these younger generations of mine are just concerned about me. How about the Meiji Spirit Wine from my Lin family?"

The old face on the ancient tree moved slightly, and glanced sideways at the two people below.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lin, for your hospitality. However, Fellow Daoist Lu and I have studied the formation diagram again. After a little consideration, we found that this road to the underworld, the Nine Nether Devouring World, has killed too many lives, and the cause and effect involved is too great. Apart from anything else, once this formation is activated, at least hundreds of thousands of people in your Lin family will die. How does Fellow Daoist Lin feel about this?"

"If you two fellow Taoists want something, just tell us directly." The Lin family ancestor interrupted the old Taoist in green and said this.

"In addition to the original benefits, Fellow Daoist Lu and I will each add one Chongyuan Purifying Blood Flower."

"Impossible, Cheng Huangzhong, you yourself said that the price my Lin family paid was so great that a total of seven Chongyuan Cleansing Blood Flowers could be produced. You want to take four?"

As the Lin family ancestor was furious, the entire underground world began to shake slightly. Among the branches and leaves in all directions, countless eyes lit up faintly, with an evil and menacing look.

"But the consequences are too great, and we brothers are afraid of the disaster." "It was my Lin family who did it, and it is my Lin family who will bear the consequences. Hundreds of thousands of people died, and it was my Lin family who died. Cheng Huang Zhong, I will allow you another blood-cleansing flower, but this is the last time you push your luck!"

"Okay, Senior Lin, please be straightforward. Fellow Daoist Lu and I will do our best for this important matter, and we swear that we will never reveal a single word to outsiders in this life. If we break the promise, we will die in the devil's calamity. Speaking of which, this ancient strange formation 'The Path to the Mysterious World' originally requires at least three cultivators in the realm of True Person to activate it, but the cultivators of my Chiyang Realm are born with innate Qi, and their magical power foundation is several times stronger than that of cultivators from other realms. Fellow Daoist Lu and I are the cultivators who are most proficient in Qi techniques, so this matter will definitely be handled beautifully for Senior Lin."

Lu Zhongshu was an abandoned disciple of the Xiantian Sect. It was only because his master had such high qualifications and contributions in the Xiantian Sect, and he doted on this disciple, that he allowed him to leave the sect. However, he could not leave behind the Taoist tradition in this lifetime.

Cheng Huangzhong is the elder of Dongyang Orthodox Church. He is shameless and profit-driven.

However, these two men were both Jindan masters who had mastered the Qigong method to an extremely high level and were willing to do dirty things. For a cultivator who still had a glimmer of hope of ascending to the sky and pursuing the Tao, who would be willing to easily do such a heinous thing that would destroy the lives of hundreds of thousands of people?
After the two men went down, countless gazes gradually disappeared from the branches and leaves of the ancient tree on all sides.

Most of the old cultivators of the Lin family are here. Although the ancestor of the Lin family has practiced Taoism for thousands of years and has profound magical powers, he is only at the ninth level of Refining Gang after all. There are not a large number of Lin family cultivators gathered here. With Cheng Huangzhong's temperament, it is not impossible for him to kill people and steal treasures after receiving the benefits.

Some elders of Dongyang Orthodox Church, not only dare not betray the sect, but also do all kinds of evil without any bottom line. At worst, they can just escape back to the Heavenly Demon Palace, and after a hundred years, most of the victims will be dead.

"... the road to the netherworld, the Nine Netherworld Devouring World... Isolate the connection between heaven and earth, and attain the great path of the golden elixir... I want to change the future destiny of the Lin family..."

Lin Chong, who has been practicing Taoism for thousands of years and has a harmonious relationship with trees, is well versed in the mysteries of destiny. He really saw the fate of the Ranmushan Lin family's decline and even destruction in the future, so he was eager to make changes.

The Lin family was the ruler of the world before the Li Tang Dynasty, so they know some of the hidden truths of this world.

Hundreds of thousands or millions of years ago, in the last era of cultivating immortals, this world, called the Chiyang World, was once extremely prosperous.

However, this also led to a war between the two worlds with the Qingming World.

Purple Mansion, Golden Core, suffered countless casualties. Nascent Soul cultivators were the main force in the war between the two worlds, and only Soul Master cultivators had the power to make the final blow.

Under the destruction and abuse of these monks who possessed the great power to move mountains and fill the sea, the two great worlds of Chiyang and Qingming finally collapsed, and the world returned to chaos.

Afterwards, countless years passed and the creatures in the Chiyang Realm gradually began to recover, but compared to the human race, the demon race recovered earlier.

The two prosperous worlds returned to chaos, and thus the innate qi was produced, which enabled many monsters to have bloodlines that reversed their ancestors and became extremely powerful.

With this, they were able to imprison and control humans within a certain area of ​​heaven and earth, and teach them Taoism and train monks. Once a monk was transformed into an Infant, he would be devoured by these twenty-four demon gods, who would absorb his innate energy and purify his ancient bloodline.

And every thousand years, they will join forces to cleanse this Tongxuan Realm to prevent the human cultivators from having too deep a foundation and beyond their control.

The Lin family established the extremely prosperous and powerful Yinyue Dynasty by offering sacrifices to gods and serving the twenty-four demon gods. However, it was because they tried to break free from the control of the demon gods that they were replaced by the Li Tang Dynasty.

"Another thousand years have almost passed. Even if I hide in the Yellow Spring Valley, I can't escape. Rather than being burned to ashes by the Golden Crow's fire, it is better to refine the Golden Pill and hide my form. Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope."

That extremely old face sank back into the ancient tree little by little. He borrowed the vitality of the ancient tree to prolong his life, but he was also controlled by it. After practicing Taoism for thousands of years, he was not sure of defeating any Jindan master.

On the other side, tea time passed in a flash.

When the Qingming Flying Sword vibrated, although there were still many elixirs that had not been collected, Lu Cheng knew that he had to leave, otherwise he would be trapped in this Wu Tu Xuan Jia Formation and it would be difficult to end well.
