Chapter 1560

What connection or entanglement does the Nine Nether Emperor have with Naluotian? Ordinary humans wouldn't worry about the God Realm at all, just as ants on the ground wouldn't worry about what the emperor in the temple eats today.

"How would I know?" Puyin God chuckled. "Perhaps because Naluotian had trouble during that time. Specifically, I cannot tell you."

"Oh, right." He remembered another thing. "He also asked if the gods were very dissatisfied with Between Beijia and the Yao Nation?"

Does that even need to be said?

"Can you perceive anything unusual from him?"

"In my perception?" Puyin God said slowly, "That man is like a black hole; there is no feedback when divine sense sweeps over him. Perhaps his black armor has some peculiarities; but the wolf-faced mask beside him is indeed a person. I cast a gaze at him, but it didn't go out for a few hundred zhang before the line of sight was cut off."

"They can discover the divine line of sight and clear it?"

"Should be." Puyin God said, "I can feel that the Nine Nether Emperor has deep malice toward us."

"Has anyone else in this city been in contact with him?"

"My temple keeper once heard Yang Meng's personal attendant mention that he asked Yang Meng to take over Liuping and told him to persist, to persist for at least a year or two."

Bai Bai Ziqi's eyes flickered: "A year or two? And then?"

During this period, what does the Nine Nether Emperor want to do? "That, I don't know."

Bai Bai Ziqi said: "The Chali crowd is spread all over the Shining Gold Plain; didn't they get more information about the Nine Nether Emperor?"

"Except for Shizhou Tou, there are no temples or believers in the places they haunt."

The places the Nine Nether Emperor haunts are indeed screened.

Bai Bai Ziqi wanted to leave after asking these few questions, but Puyin God coughed: "I have a clue here, a clue more important than the Nine Nether Emperor; see if you are interested."

More important than the Nine Nether Emperor? Bai Bai Ziqi stopped in his tracks: "Please speak."

"It's about the True Person Qianhuan."

As soon as this name came out, Bai Bai Ziqi paused for a moment before turning his steps and looking at the offering table again.

"Over the years, there have been hundreds of clues about True Person Qianhuan. I have handled dozens of them myself, and they were all fake." The Tiangong has become numb to receiving such news.

Puyin God smiled: "That is the Mirage Immortal; his news is naturally difficult to distinguish between true and false."

"Is your news guaranteed to be true?" Bai Bai Ziqi asked. "How can it be verified?"

"When you get to that place, you will naturally understand." Puyin God blew at the candle. "Don't trade with this cheap thing again. Give me five Punishment Dragon Pillars, and I will give you the 'real' clue about True Person Qianhuan, guaranteed you won't run empty-handed!"

Bai Bai Ziqi pondered in silence.

His current task is to investigate the Nine Nether Emperor.

Bai Bai Ziqi usually handles cases with single-minded devotion and doesn't create side issues, but the clue offered by Puyin God truly made his heart beat faster.

True Person Qianhuan! This is an ancient great immortal, one of the pillars of Ling Mountain, who once sang a long-standing rival act with the God Realm and the Tiangong. With the Tiangong's well-informed news, they only know that he has been in seclusion for over a hundred years.

The Tiangong wants to open the box, but the location is questionable.

This kind of old monster from the ancient period is best dealt with during seclusion. Once they reappear in the world, Bai Bai Ziqi will definitely not approach them.

If the clue given by Puyin God is true and Bai Bai Ziqi follows the vine to find True Person Qianhuan, that would be an unparalleled achievement.

He hesitated here, and Puyin God chased after him: "You don't grasp such a heaven-sent opportunity? Are you still the Envoy of the Clouds of the Tiangong?"

It smiled maliciously: "If you miss True Person Qianhuan, what punishment will you receive when the Tiangong finds out later?"

As long as a task is tainted with the four words "True Person Qianhuan," it is either receiving merit or receiving punishment.

Bai Bai Ziqi sighed secretly, took out two Punishment Dragon Pillars from his bosom, and placed them on the table: "This is the deposit. Once I verify it is correct, I will send someone to deliver the remaining three."

Puyin God smiled with satisfaction, manipulated the lamp spirit to transform into a human hand, and scooped it onto the table.

The two Punishment Dragon Pillars disappeared.

"If the Chief Envoy of the Clouds of the Tiangong were trading with me, five Punishment Dragon Pillars would have to come first; that old thing has a poor reputation. As for you, your reputation is quite good, so I will believe you once."

"After this secret is finished, you will know that my asking price of five Punishment Dragon Pillars is too cheap. Hmm, how much do you know about the blessed caves where immortals seclude themselves?"

Puyin God took his deposit and should have answered questions, but why did he ask questions instead? But Bai Bai Ziqi was still good-tempered: "The blessed caves that are still running are the places where immortals prolong their lives."

After the heaven and earth disaster, spiritual energy gradually weakened, and many ancient immortals fled into blessed caves to seclude themselves to survive the long period of depletion.

It's like the drastic change in the marine environment, which is no longer suitable for giant whales to survive, but they can still live in an aquarium, provided that oxygen, food, water quality, and temperature are all adjusted.

Some aquariums cannot supply them, and the whales inside will die. This is the fact that has happened in most blessed caves for thousands of years.

That's why Bai Bai Ziqi said that the blessed caves that can still sustain immortals to this day are exceptionally precious.

"Immortals consume a huge amount of spiritual energy, so how can the blessed caves supply it?" Puyin God smiled. "Even if they store a massive amount of profound crystals, they cannot support it for thousands of years."

"Spirit-gathering array." With Bai Bai Ziqi's level, he is naturally qualified to know many secrets. "Ling Mountain uses spirit-gathering arrays to gather spiritual energy for the blessed caves, so that their great immortals can seclude themselves peacefully without worrying about the interruption of supply."

Not to mention the distant ones, the Xushan Array in Lingxu City is a super-sized spirit-gathering array, specifically designed to gather spiritual energy to supply the great demons and practitioners in the city.

And the Xushan Array itself was rebuilt on the basis of the ancient array of the Dahan Sect.

So, yes, immortal sects and immortals have built spirit-gathering arrays since ancient times, but after the heaven and earth disaster, there were new laws, and spirit-gathering arrays became more and more difficult to handle.

Puyin God said mysteriously: "Right, the clue I provide you is the location of True Person Qianhuan's spirit-gathering array!"

Bai Bai Ziqi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed: "Not the hiding place of True Person Qianhuan?"

Puyin God laughed loudly: "Hiding place? True Person Qianhuan's hiding place? If there really were such a precious clue, do you think five Punishment Dragon Pillars could buy it?"

"You have been wandering in Shining Gold for so long; my Lord thought you would find some clues."

"True Person Qianhuan is hiding in the Inverted Sea; who doesn't know that?" A lamp flower exploded on the candle. "The problem is, where is the Inverted Sea?"

"Alright, back to the clue." Puyin God wanted to maintain his image of keeping his word. "You Tiangong people have also hollowed out quite a few blessed caves, so the great immortals of Ling Mountain no longer place spirit-gathering arrays near their seclusion locations."

To avoid being smelled and found by the Tiangong.

Bai Bai Ziqi said: "Spirit-gathering arrays cannot be built just because you want to; the Tiangong found blessed caves near spirit-gathering arrays twice, purely by luck."

"True Person Qianhuan's spirit-gathering array is set up on Bai Mao Mountain!" Puyin God also became serious. "It is within the territory of the Peng Nation."

Bai Bai Ziqi frowned, Peng Nation?

Didn't he just walk over from the Peng Nation? True Person Qianhuan's spirit-gathering array is actually in the western Shining Gold Plain?

"The Peng Nation has been established for less than a year; its predecessor was the Pu Nation." Puyin God continued, "Who exactly overthrew this Pu Nation, Between Beijia already knows, right?"

"That coup was supported by the Mou Nation." Lingxu City had received the news long ago.

"Now you understand why. But recently, there seems to be a change on Bai Mao Mountain, causing True Person Qianhuan's spirit-gathering array to be unable to continue."

Bai Bai Ziqi's eyes flickered: "What happened?"

"That spirit-gathering array has stopped working." Puyin God said, "I infer that it is probably because there is a problem with the array eye."

"What is that array eye? Earth vein? Divine artifact? Heaven and earth spiritual object?"

After the Immortal-Demon War, the rules of heaven and earth were avoided, and the original spirit-gathering arrays failed one after another. But the human world slowly figured out new rules.

It's very complicated, and the most critical point is that the setting of the array eye is no longer easy.

When Lingxu City built the Xushan Array, they not only had to ask the great fire spirit Qu Ju to move the mountain range, but even had to find specific treasures like the remains of Mother Zhu to act as the array eye, in order to make the array effective.

The harshness of building a spirit-gathering array is evident.

"Don't know."

Puyin God answered so righteously that Bai Bai Ziqi was silent for a moment.

However, Puyin God immediately said: "Bai Mao Mountain is not an ordinary mountain range. You have come from afar and don't know the story behind it. A long time ago, Bai Mao Mountain was also called Dragon Head Mountain. Legend has it that it is the place where the Black Dragon God Venerable fell!"

Even Bai Bai Ziqi felt that this legend had some weight: "The Dragon God fell there?"

"There is a dispute about the place where the Dragon God fell; one of the theories is on Dragon Head Mountain." Puyin God continued, "There is also a rumor here that the Dragon God's scales fell on Dragon Head Mountain and were collected by the Yuyang Sect to make a black treasure armor, which is said to be able to absorb karmic force for its own use."

"Karmic force!" Bai Bai Ziqi was moved. "You just said that the Nine Nether Emperor's armor has karmic fire steaming!"

"Whether it is the same one, I don't know." Puyin God said coldly, "How could there be such a coincidence, right? You just tell me, is the place where the Dragon God fell qualified to build a spirit-gathering array?"

Bai Bai Ziqi nodded.

"True Person Qianhuan's spirit-gathering array doesn't know when it was built, but now that it can be revealed, it must have already stopped."

"Has there been any change on the mountain recently?"

Puyin God smiled: "This is not clear. I can't leave, you have time to go and find out the truth."

That night, Bai Bai Ziqi rested in a large courtyard in Shizhou Tou.

After nightfall, the divine attendants who had been sent out earlier returned.

Seeing that they had something to discuss, Guide Liu cleverly hid outside.

"Envoy, the information on Shizhou Tou and Liuping has been collected."

"Hmm, tell me about it."

"The locals say that the cannibal Zhao Guangzhi attacked Shizhou Tou more than half a year ago, City Governor Liu abandoned the city and fled, and it was Garrison Commander Yang who took over the city and resisted stubbornly..."

The guard detailed the entire process of the battles of Shizhou Tou and Liuping.

Bai Bai Ziqi listened extra carefully, often interrupting and asking questions.
