The mastermind behind the scenes starting with the calamity of all races

Hongmeng looked at Yun Jie with surprise, "I didn't expect that the Great Xuan King also knows about the undead. Have you come into contact with them before?"

Yun Jie glanced at the old tortoise and said calmly, "If the Guardian of Hongmeng wants to know, I will explain it to him in detail later. Let's take care of business first."

People these days, they'll test anyone they meet, probing and probing until they know everything about the other person. They're so suspicious!

Who started this bad trend?

Without a doubt, all the problems are remnants from the beginning of time. Sure enough, let's just kill them all.

These old things should all be swept into the dustbin of history!

Why not just lie quietly in your coffin and be revered by future generations? Why do you have to come out and cause trouble, only to be killed by your descendants? In that case, you won't even be able to preserve your reputation in your later years.

Of course, if you don't want to die, you can learn from this old tortoise in front of you and sleep all day long, as long as you don't come out and jump around all the time. After all, the myriad worlds don't miss their breath of air.

The Realm of the Dead.

It was still the same old place, lifeless and gloomy, with a gray sky and an omnipresent deathly aura, giving people a very oppressive feeling, especially for living beings.

However, none of this affected Yun Jie and Su Yu. One of them had extraordinary cultivation, and the other was a half-dead spirit. The realm of the dead was nothing special to them.

However, Su Yu was extremely curious about the Netherworld, looking around as if he had never seen anything like it before.

But he quickly looked away. There was nothing to see; everything was dark and bare, which was uninteresting.

"Hetu! Come here!"

Not far away, the Dao body of the Primordial Turtle grabbed the River Diagram as if it were a chick.

He Tu roared, "A scholar can be killed but not humiliated! You old tortoise, you just wait, just wait until your grandpa He Tu..."

"Shut up!"

The Hongmeng Old Turtle glared at him fiercely, and Hetu reluctantly shut his mouth.

What's wrong with him today? I thought that no matter how much he scolded him, the old tortoise would rarely get angry and would still sleep soundly. Is he going through menopause?

This tortoise has lived for 200,000 years, and it's going through menopause at this age... The world is full of wonders.

Over here, Yun Jie almost burst out laughing. He never expected He Tu to have such a rich inner world. If he were the old turtle, he would have slapped He Tu to death long ago. He saved He Tu but didn't even realize it. He chattered and made a fuss all day long, like a fly.

Sigh, that's why they call it a tortoise, it can really endure.

If it were my godson, I would have given him a good beating long ago.

Of course, I'm not talking about Su Long, he doesn't have that ability; I'm talking about Yuan Hao, that Chaos Ancient Ape.

He Tu stopped his inner monologue when he saw Yun Jie and the other person. He pointed at the Hongmeng Old Turtle and said in a sarcastic tone, "I never thought that you, a big-eyed old turtle with thick eyebrows, would actually break the rules and bring people in through the Necromancer Passage."

The Primordial Tortoise glanced at him indifferently and said, "Which eye of yours saw that I brought them? They sneaked in on their own, and I just happened to run into them."

"Hehe," Hetu sneered. You're strong, so whatever you say is right. Anyway, the ancient imperial court is gone, and nobody cares anymore.

"Stop talking nonsense, I called you here because I have something to ask you."

"So you do have something to ask of me," He Tu's eyes gleamed, his ego puffing out. "Is this how you ask for a favor?"

The Hongmeng Old Turtle ignored him and turned to Yun Jie, saying, "You see, this extremely arrogant undead is Hetu. Ask whatever you want, as long as you don't kill him, you can do whatever you want."

After saying that, the Hongmeng Old Turtle turned around and left. He didn't care anymore. He Tu was arrogant in front of him, but that was because he had spoiled him. He couldn't blame anyone else. But... would the Great Xuan King spoil him?

Hopefully, the Great Xuan King will go easy on him.

For some reason, the old turtle felt extremely happy. As the saying goes, good things make people feel refreshed, and he wasn't sleepy at all today!

The old tortoise of Hongmeng just left, and Hetu wants to run away? What? Just because someone asks him a question, does that mean he has to answer it? Are you kidding me? Do you really think that Grandpa Hetu is a pushover?

However, Hetu soon changed his mind and thought that being vegetarian was quite good.

Yun Jie easily caught He Tu and asked in a "friendly tone," "He Tu, is that right? My grandson has a question he'd like to ask you. Could you please answer it? I advise you to think it over before you answer."

Seeing Yun Jie's calm eyes and the smile on his face, He Tu felt a sudden panic and immediately shouted, "Dai Dai... Oh no, Boss Xia, help! Someone is trying to kill Ling!"

He Tu had often tried to get Xia Chen to be his underling, but Xia Chen was definitely not willing. He was stronger than He Tu, so why should he be the underling? If anyone should be the underling, it should be He Tu.

Of course, after going back and forth for a while, neither of them could gain the upper hand. Unexpectedly, after being intimidated by Yun Jie today, He Tu actually backed down.

On the other side, Xia Chen, who was trying to regain his memories from his previous life, heard He Tu's "cry for help" and thought it was the Hongmeng Old Turtle teaching He Tu a lesson, so he decided to go over and observe.

"A person? Alive?"

As soon as he arrived, Xia Chen was stunned. He actually saw living people in the Netherworld!

Su Yu: I'm sorry, I'm half dead.

The next second, some past memories surfaced in Xia Chen's mind, and he pointed at Yun Jie, saying, "Yun Jie, Zhou Tian Acupoint..."

!!!

Su Yu turned his head in shock. This undead knew his grandfather?! And what did he just say... about the Zhou Tian Aperture?

Grandpa has also opened his Heavenly Circuit!?

No way, really?

Everyone says he's the first one in 100,000 years, but that's all fake, all a lie.

At this moment, Yun Jie looked puzzled, "You are..."

"I am Xia Chen!"

"What!? Xia Chen? You're Xia Chen?"

Yun Jie was "shocked"!

Immediately afterward, Su Yu was also shocked. This was truly shocking. Wasn't Xia Chen the name of the first headmaster of the Great Xia Prefecture's Academy of Civilization?

Considering his acquaintance with his grandfather and the grandfather's reaction, it should be him.

“Hmm,” Xia Chen nodded heavily. He felt he should be excited right now, but… his heart was completely unmoved. He had forgotten that necromancers did not have these emotions.

Yun Jie looked at him and sighed, "It's a pity we failed to discover the rebellious activities of the Prison King's lineage back then, otherwise you wouldn't have perished."

"The lineage of the Prison King is rebellious..."

Suddenly, another fragment of memory surfaced in Xia Chen's mind, and he quickly asked, "You all know?"

"Yes, we know all that. Furthermore, the bloodline of that traitor who perished with you has also been eliminated by us."

"That's good," Xia Chen said calmly. He couldn't describe his emotions; he should have been excited, but he just couldn't feel any excitement.

Then Xia Chen glanced at Yun Jie and said, "You've... reached the Dao now?"

Yun Jie laughed and said, "Yes, it was just luck."

"You are not just lucky. In the past 100,000 years, besides He Tu, you are the only person who has been able to open the Zhou Tian acupoints. Or rather, you are the number one person in all the heavens after He Tu."

!!!

Su Yu: Shouldn't I be the one who's been called the first person in 100,000 years? Well, as expected, it was all a lie!

Grandpa, you kept it a secret for so long!

Yun Jie ignored Su Yu, looked directly at Xia Chen, and calmly said, "So, you arranged for the ruins in the Human Realm back then?"

Xia Chen: "Only a small part is related to me. The vast majority have nothing to do with me. There is another person in the shadows, but I don't know who it is. As for your ruins, I did arrange them. I only realized you had opened your Zhou Tian Aperture when I saw you come out of the ruins. Amazing, truly amazing."

"Hehe, it was opened in a daze back then, it's not worth mentioning."

He Tu: "..."

Do you know how difficult it was for me to open my microcosmic orbit? Are you even speaking human language?

Yes, stimulated by Yun Jie's words, He Tu recalled his "glorious years", the words his father had said to him, and all the efforts he had made to open the Zhou Tian Qiao. While others had reached the Shan Hai realm, he was still in the Qian Jun realm. Fortunately, he succeeded later and even surpassed them, otherwise he would have cried his eyes out.

Su Yu: "..."

He stopped talking, and compared to He Tu Yi, he didn't seem so heartbroken.

Seeing that Xia Chen wanted to say something, Yun Jie interrupted him, "Let's talk about catching up later. Come, let me introduce you. This is my grandson, Su Yu. He is now known as the first person since ancient times to open up the Zhou Tian acupoints."

After hearing this, Su Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes. He used to be quite proud and happy when others said that, but now... he could only laugh.

Xia Chen didn't dwell on why Yun Jie's grandson didn't have the surname Yun, but instead had the surname Su.

He exclaimed in surprise, "Another one who has opened the microcosmic orbit?"

"Yes, that's why I brought him here today to inquire about the cultivation method of the Zhou Tian method from He Tu."

After speaking, Yun Jie turned to look at He Tu.

"Hetu, do you remember it? The method of Zhou Tian."

"I remember now, but why should I tell you?"

Well, Hetu has fallen into his old habit again, a classic case of forgetting past mistakes.

Yun Jie chuckled and said, "Because I'm better than you."

He Tu: "..."

"Alright, stop being a jerk. Get to know my grandson better. He's the top human researcher. If you get to know him, he might just resurrect you someday."

Su Yu: !!!

How come I didn't know I had this title?

Never mind, that's not important. What's important is to get the Zhou Tian method from the He Tu... ah, no, I mean, to get the Zhou Tian method.

"Him?" He Tu pointed at Su Yu and said with a disdainful look.

Yun Jie smiled and said, "I'm talking to you nicely now, so don't be ungrateful."

For some reason, whenever He Tu saw Yun Jie smile, he felt a chill run down his spine, his heart pounding with fear, which was completely unlike his usual self.

"Fine, I'll mercifully tell him that it's just a mere method of circulating qi."
