I built the Jade Capital with the Netherworld

Chapter 166 Lure the snake out of its hole
Lu Wujiu nodded and said frankly, "I recently went to the Eighteen Seas to search for water spirits. Unexpectedly, upon stepping onto Fubo Island, I felt cursed and my lifespan was reduced. Later, after interrogating the Fubo Abyss Turtle, I learned that all the Eighteen Seas have been set up with the Year-Stealing and Fate-Reversing Wall, which can steal the lifespan of all living beings."

"What? There's such a thing?!"

The headmaster of the Divine Sky Sect's face suddenly darkened as he murmured, "Rumor has it that the East China Sea is in its current state because a fire spirit descended from the sky a thousand years ago. The East China Sea demons bravely stepped forward to suppress it. Now, with the passage of time, even if each of the eighteen demon beasts had a cultivation level of the fourth rank and a lifespan of a thousand years, they should have died long ago..."

Thinking about this, he suddenly realized: "I should have thought of this earlier. I am a fourth-class cultivator, and even if I can add a thousand years to my life span, it's still not enough. What about a group of monsters?"

"Wait, so, could it be that my life span was stolen by the Eighteen Seas?"

Lu Wujiu nodded and said, "The Eighteen Seas claim they will only steal ten years of your lifespan, but who knows if they'll be selective about who you are?"

The headmaster of Shenxiao Sect's face turned gloomy and uncertain: "How did you resolve this matter later?"

"The Eighteen Seas used the excuse of guarding against the Millennium Fire Spirit Disaster. I dared not act rashly, so I could only use the threat of the plague to lift the curse on me."

"I see!"

The headmaster of the Divine Heaven Sect nodded, and at this moment, all the doubts in his mind came together. "Fellow Daoist, are you saying that the great calamity might originate from the East China Sea?"

Lu Wujiu nodded: "That's right. The people in the Eighteen Seas number from a few million to tens of millions. Even if each person has ten years of lifespan, it will be a huge number. If it is just to extend lifespan, it should not be stolen.

Therefore, I speculate that there are only two reasons: First, this kind of lifespan has unknown limitations, such as: it has the same drug resistance as elixirs, so the demand is naturally increasing. As for the second, I suspect that the Eighteen Seas have a hidden secret, accumulating strength and plotting something nefarious.

The headmaster of the Divine Sky Sect's heart was pounding. After a long pause, he said, "Fellow Daoist, do you mean to expose the conspiracy of the Eighteen Seas?"

"No!" Lu Wujiu shook his head. "As the saying goes, open plots establish life, secret plots protect self. If the calamity is true, the Eighteen Seas may have acted out of necessity. If it were to be exposed rashly, it would cause panic in the East China Sea, causing the people to flee. The Eighteen Demon Clans would lose their lifespan, and the millennium disaster could be repeated. By then, you and I would become sinners in history."

"Fellow Daoist, you've given it much thought." The headmaster of the Divine Sky Sect nodded. "In that case, why don't you and I go there in person and interrogate them? Wouldn't that reveal the truth?"

"I'm afraid it will alert the enemy and cause chaos in the world!"

The headmaster of Shenxiao suddenly became depressed.

He had experienced a lot today. He had met Yin Tianzi, the master of the Netherworld Samsara Sect, and heard the secret of the Great Tribulation. His thoughts were in a tangle. Just as he was pondering what to do, he saw Lu Wujiu's calm expression and thought to himself, "Fellow Daoist, you seem to be confident. Could it be that you have a plan?"

Lu Wujiu, who had been laying the groundwork for a long time, smiled and said, "I do have an immature idea."

"Oh, come quickly."

"Regardless of whether the Eighteen Seas are hiding a conspiracy, why don't you and I try to lure the snake out of its hole?"

"Luring the snake out of its hole?"

After Lu Wujiu explained in a low voice, the headmaster of Shenxiao pondered for a long time and nodded, saying, "Maybe we can give it a try!"

Then the two of them whispered to each other for a while, and then the headmaster of Shenxiao looked excited, bowed and said goodbye before leaving.

After seeing off Master Shenxiao, Lu Wujiu breathed a sigh of relief.

He got up and left the room to visit Liu Qingtan, but was stopped by Yan Qi outside the door.

"Master, Liu Qingtan is in the process of meditating and concentrating his mind. It would be best not to disturb him at this time, as this will cause him to become confused and make it more difficult to recover."

"Okay, how is he doing now?"

"Not very good. Logically speaking, Hua Chaoge's contact with Liu Qingtan shouldn't have been long. Unfortunately, Hua Chaoge's cultivation is too high, and he has had a profound influence on Liu Qingtan. This kind of enchantment cannot be dispelled in a short time."

Lu Wujiu sighed and remained silent.

He guessed that Hua Chaoge would not retaliate against Lao Lu Temple or even the Liang Yi Sect before killing him, but he still underestimated the ability of a fourth-grade master.

This method of directly deceiving those around him and setting traps is simply impossible to guard against. It will also undermine the old legal view and even the internal relations of the Liangyi Sect.

At present, only Yan Qi is left in Laolu Mountain. She is quite powerful, but facing Hua Chaoge, she can only protect herself but cannot save others.

"I've been troubled by your care for Liu Qingtan lately."

"Master, you're too polite."

"How is the reconstruction of the Goddess of Childbirth Palace going?"

"Construction has already begun. Even if we use some magical powers in secret, I'm afraid it will take until next year for it to take shape."

Lu Wujiu nodded and asked about the affairs of the sect. It was not until a special power surged in the human skin book that he found an excuse to leave.

Back in the room, he swept his mind over the human skin book, and saw that in the underworld, a strong wind was howling in the sky hundreds of feet high. This was the help of Zhao Wuji's pure Yang sword energy.

At this moment, electric snakes flashed, condensed, and moved faintly in the strong wind.

It was the help from Duan Lan, the headmaster of Shenxiao.

What surprised Lu Wujiu was that the changes brought about by Duan Lan, although more effective than those brought about by Zhao Wuji, Lao Lushan Shen... and others, were far inferior to those brought about by Nanming Zhenren.

It seems that the status of Master Nanming is far beyond his imagination!

At this point, the underworld became increasingly real, pushing his rituals of the Dao of True Reality a small step forward.

"call--"

Lu Wujiu let out a sigh.

Although I am happy about this change, I still feel it is too slow.

The huge mountain of Hua Chaoge put him under great pressure. He even wondered whether he should open the gate of the mountain to recruit the top three or even the top four masters in the world?
But after a moment's hesitation, he gave up the idea temporarily.

On the one hand, although the increasing authenticity of the human skin book has promoted the ritual of ascending to the stage of Ranzhen Dao, the effect is not very good.

Judging from the current results, even if he recruits another ten or eight top-four masters, he may not be able to reach the true top-four level.

On the other hand, his strength is not enough to support such a big bubble.

You have to at least reach the fourth rank to be eligible to light beacons to trick the princes.

Thinking of this, Lu Wujiu waved his hand lightly, and endless yin energy gathered from the underworld, ignited in front of his eyes with a bang, and turned into a ball of fire.

It was the will-o'-the-wisp!

He slightly closed his eyes and flapped his nostrils lightly, and the ghost fire turned into two fire snakes, which continuously flowed into his nasal cavity and fell into the Yin Phosphorus Ghost Fire in his body. As the Yin Phosphorus Ghost Fire grew stronger, his Fire God cultivation also slowly climbed!
As Nanming Zhenren said, the method of practicing the Fire God Dao is simple and crude, but it requires extremely high external resources.

Apart from the fire, there are things that provide for the fire.

The more magical the fire, the more special the offerings required.

Lu Wujiu checked all the flames on his body and found that only the Yin Phosphorus Ghost Fire was the easiest for him to maintain at this stage.

When Lu Wujiu was absorbed in cultivation, his name once again spread throughout the martial arts world.
