The Great Ruler: Starting from the Dark Ages

Chapter 32 The Underworld Conspiracy
"The breath of the underworld?"

The Great Sage Yaoguang looked at the Emperor of Heaven in surprise.

Although the Emperor of Heaven is thousands of years younger than himself, he knows a lot of secrets.

The Great Sage Yaoguang felt a little scalp-tingling, because the last shocking secret was about the Supreme of the Reincarnation Sea Forbidden Zone.

He was a celestial being from the mythological era. Not only did the Emperor of Heaven know his identity, he even knew about the success and failure of the celestial being Xiaoyao in taking over other people's bodies.

He felt more and more that if he stayed with the Emperor of Heaven any longer, he would learn many more secrets.

For example, in the underworld, even if the Emperor of Heaven said that the Lord of the Underworld was not the King of Hell, he would not be too surprised.

Speaking of the underworld, Great Sage Yaoguang was actually quite curious. Having reached the level of a Great Sage through cultivation, he knew clearly that his future would be nothing but the exhaustion of his blood and the decline of his lifespan. Because of this, his understanding of life and death became more and more profound.

I often wonder where people go after they die.

And the underworld...

"At the end of reincarnation, everything will come to an end. The underworld is the final resting place of all souls."

It was unknown where these words came from, but for the cultivators whose life span was limited, they were simply a curse.

"How did you know these things?" asked the Great Sage Yaoguang.

This question also lingered in Chen Yonghui's mind. He vaguely felt that the cultivator in front of him seemed to be still hiding, or that he was far from being able to reach him.

Hell……

Xu He was silent for a while, thinking about the past.

In the past, on the Ancient Starry Sky Road, he had a friendship with a human cultivator named Gu Wen. At that time, the two were both enemies and friends.

The two men competed for the throne on the great road, and became acquainted with each other after a bloody battle that lasted for several days. The battle shook the starry sky and turned the world upside down.

There is no doubt that both of them have entered the final level of the ancient human road, left their names under the monument, and announced to the gods and demons that they had set foot here.

At that time, both of them were pure and sincere cultivators. One aimed to transcendence, while the other wanted to restore the glory of his ancestor and look down upon the nine heavens and ten earths again.

Once, faced with the injustice on the ancient road of the starry sky, the two men were only at the level of Saint Kings, but their ideas coincided with each other. They set up a trap to kill the law enforcer, the Great Sage, and their battle became famous in the starry sky.

From then on, the two of them made peace and expressed their true feelings to each other. They shook hands and swore an oath on the ancient starry road, vowing to eliminate all disasters in the nine heavens and ten earths and level all life forbidden areas!

That man’s name was Gu Wen, or rather, the former emperor of the Shenzhou Dynasty, a towering and majestic man.

Or in other words, it was a larger stepping stone that Xu Hedi saw on his way.

Now, Xu He has already stepped into the realm of the imperial way, has quelled the dark turmoil, and has leveled the forbidden zone of life.

Looking back now, my old friend actually has a bit of the underworld air.

Everything that happened, the vows we made...

That young fellow Taoist's resolute heart of Taoism may have been completely changed by immortality.

Perhaps the emperor's loneliness is not just about witnessing the death of his old friends one after another, but also about seeing his former like-minded friends change little by little and eventually stand against him.

The most helpless thing is that it is very likely that the emperor will kill him with his own hands.

Xu He sighed.

His faith in the Tao will not be shaken even a little because of this. Becoming an emperor is not the end, and becoming an immortal is not the end either. Even if the goal is out of reach, he will not change.

"The order you received actually has nothing to do with the rest of the Jiang family, right?" Xu He's eyes flickered as he connected everything:
"From the beginning to the end, your target has been Jiang Taixu."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yonghui's pupils suddenly shrank. This was indeed the order he received, and even he himself was a little confused.

He spoke tremblingly: "How did you know?"

Xu He tapped the table, thinking hard.

The underworld, or the eighth forbidden zone for life, was created by the Hades Emperor, also known as Duan De. It once reached its peak, and three major factions emerged: the Hades Emperor Palace, the Yama Palace, and the Prison Palace.

However, later on, in order to control the underworld, the Emperor sent Changsheng Tianzun to take over the underworld. Unexpectedly, Changsheng Tianzun was unwilling to be restrained by the Emperor, and led the underworld to subvert the rule of Heaven.

Since then, Changsheng Tianzun entered the Immortal Mausoleum and became the master of the Immortal Mausoleum, and the underworld returned to the control of the three giants.

However, due to various reasons, the Supreme Beings of the Underworld passed away, some departed far away, and the Prison Emperor was left alone. Gu Wen must have reached some kind of deal with the Underworld, and the object of the deal... or rather... what did the Underworld's Prison Emperor need?
"The Treasure of the Underworld..." Xu He's eyes became brighter and brighter.

If the disaster that befell the Jiang family was attributed to the Tongtian Mingbao, then everything seemed to make sense.

Tongtian Mingbao, a treasure of the underworld, can collect the blood of all spirits and produce immortal blood, turning Tongtian Mingbao into a real immortal weapon.

This is an alternative path to immortality.

As a family of imperial blood, the Jiang family has many divine bodies in the world, and this may be one of the reasons.

Tongtian Mingbao has completely transformed into a monster, and will keep chasing the blood that he needs to truly fuse with the physical constitution required for blood.

And Jiang Taixu is the rare divine body of the Eastern Wilderness.

Xu He took a deep breath and said slowly:

"I will go to the underworld."

I will go to the underworld...

Thunder exploded suddenly, but this time it was in the heart of the Great Sage Yaoguang.

At this moment, Great Sage Yaoguang felt a little numb. His neck turned mechanically and he looked at Xu He with eyes full of fear.

He knew, and he had seen it with his own eyes, that Xu He's divine fist pierced through the eternal blue sky, and his blood filled the air and ignited the starry sky.

However, when Xu He actually said this calmly, the feeling it gave people was completely different.

The Great Sage Yaoguang could already foresee that another shocking war would break out in the near future, and the nine heavens and ten earths would tremble.

Who knows, even bigger secrets might be revealed, involving more ancient supreme beings.

"Not right..." Xu He keenly caught something: "Not entirely right."

First, if it was just for the Eastern Wilderness Divine Body, why would they make such a big fuss?

The only remaining members of the Jiang family, Dasheng and Gu Tianshu, were both severely injured, which only shows that the other party has a large number of people. However, it seems unreasonable for a force with such strength to target the Jiang family's foundation.

After all, the Great Sage's life-and-death battle was only for a little foundation...

Perhaps the underworld was also worried that sending a quasi-emperor master would alert Xu He.

Second, Jiang Taixu's behavior was not right. He was deliberately hiding something, and his reason for going to Zhongzhou was so untenable that it seemed like he was seeking death.

Or in other words... lure the tiger away from the mountain.

It seems like he is deliberately protecting something.

Unless, the Jiang family has someone with a special physique!
"Bang bang bang."

There was a knock on the door, and Jiang Taixu's gentle voice came: "Senior."

Xu He pushed open the door and saw Jiang Taixu's extraordinary figure in the moonlight, his eyes shining like torches.

"Jiang family, besides the Donghuang Divine Body, do you have any other physiques?" Xu He asked.

Jiang Taixu suddenly became alert. He had been hesitant about whether to tell everything when he came here, but now Xu He actually told it in advance.

"I have absolutely no desire for the Jiang family." Xu He said as he took out the blood-stained Hengyu furnace fragment with one hand.

It faintly exudes the imperial power of the past, making people miss the past glory.

With just one glance, Jiang Taixu confirmed it was correct.

The suction force hidden deep in the blood cannot be fabricated.

"Senior... your last name is Xu... you are..."

"Emperor of Heaven, Xu He?"
