Chapter 256: The Banishment of Yin Qi

Emperor Gan's murderous intent was something Hong Xuanji could fully understand and also fully support.

His gaze was cold and stern as he said gravely, "Your Majesty, the *I Ching* was written by Yin Qi. This subject guesses that he may have already passed the Eight Tribulations of Thunder, and he is also a Peak Human Immortal. Even if we use the Boat of Creation, it will not be easy to kill him."

Emperor Gan nodded slowly and said coldly, "I naturally know this. During this period, I have had the Future Lord perform constant deductions, and I have finally found a suitable place. Even if we cannot kill Yin Qi, we can thoroughly trap him to death."

Hong Xuanji asked hurriedly, "Where?"

"The Nine Abysses Divine Domain!"

"The Nine Abysses Divine Domain!"

Hong Xuanji was shocked, his voice rising in pitch.

The Nine Abysses Divine Domain, also known as the Grave of Immortals, is a mysterious place between Heaven and Earth.

It is said that there are nine layers of space within, and the flow of time in each layer is different.

By the ninth layer, time is almost at a standstill.

Precisely because of this characteristic, many experts in ancient times, when their lives were nearing their end, entered it one after another, either attempting to find a way to extend their lifespan or looking for a place to pass away so as to avoid their corpses being desecrated.

Since ancient times, it has been impossible to calculate exactly how many experts have entered the Nine Abysses Divine Domain.

After they died, they not only left behind countless magic treasures and artifacts, but even their Inheritances.

Their own thoughts would even transform into Yuan Chen Heavenly Crystal Stones and be left behind.

These Yuan Chen Heavenly Crystal Stones are supreme treasures for those who practice Daoism; they can be directly refined into one's own thoughts, thereby allowing one to possess infinite magic power.

This is because a person's thoughts have a fixed limit, at most 129,600, which is exactly the number of one Yuan.

Generally speaking, only the thoughts of a Creator can reach this many.

Other Thunder Tribulation Experts generally only have a few thousand or tens of thousands.

But if one has enough Yuan Chen Heavenly Crystal Stones, it means that even at the Once Thunder Tribulation, one could possess 129,600 thoughts, and their combat power could increase more than tenfold; they would even dare to cross hands with those at the Three Thunder Tribulations.

Therefore, it can be said that the Nine Abysses Divine Domain is filled with endless treasures.

Emperor Gan's eyes were cold and grim as he said, "Correct, the Nine Abysses Divine Domain. The entrance to the Nine Abysses Divine Domain is extremely special; it is called the Instant Labyrinth, composed of 129,600 black hole tunnels, and their arrangement changes constantly. Only one path leads to the Nine Abysses Divine Domain.

All the others are dead ends, leading to various parts of the universe.

If one is unlucky and is transported into a death trap, even a Creator would be reduced to dust.

Didn't Yin Qi promise us that he would join forces to hunt down Meng Shenji?

We will tell him that Meng Shenji has secretly entered the Nine Abysses Divine Domain to search for treasure, have him go to the Nine Abysses Divine Domain with us, and then, when entering the Instant Labyrinth, intentionally take the wrong black hole tunnel.

We have the Boat of Creation, so no death trap can trap us, and we can easily return to the Great Thousand World.

But Yin Qi will be thoroughly banished."

The universe is too vast; even if the black hole does not lead to a death trap, it can still banish Yin Qi into the Starry Sky, where he will be unable to find the way back to the Great Thousand World.

Hong Xuanji's eyes lit up; this was a good idea.

The corner of Emperor Gan's mouth curled up as he smiled, "We also have the *I Ching* to thank for greatly increasing the Future Lord's capabilities; otherwise, we would not have been able to calculate the correct path to the Nine Abysses Divine Domain.

After banishing Yin Qi, we can enter the Nine Abysses Divine Domain to realize our second step: uniting the Fan Family, Xuantian Pavilion, and Jingyuan Temple to trap and kill the Eternal Kingdom.

Even if we cannot trap and kill it, we must severely damage the Eternal Kingdom.

After that, we will destroy the Instant Labyrinth and thoroughly trap the Fan Family and the others in the Nine Abysses Divine Domain.

By then, we will have no rivals in the Great Thousand World."

It must be said that Emperor Gan was truly ambitious and ruthless, calculating everyone into his plans.

Once the Instant Labyrinth is destroyed, unless one is an expert at the peak of the Nine Tribulations of Thunder or possesses an Artifact King, no one will be able to get out, including the severely damaged Eternal Kingdom.

And since there is no Thunder in the Nine Abysses Divine Domain, one cannot progress in Daoism, and everyone will eventually die when their lifespan is exhausted.

………

Three days later.

Longxiang Earl Mansion.

Yin Qi watched Hong Xuanji leave, a sharp glint flickering in his eyes as he muttered to himself, "The Nine Abysses Divine Domain, interesting. It seems Emperor Gan is preparing to make a move against me there."

The entrance to the Nine Abysses Divine Domain is the Instant Labyrinth, which is extremely perilous; one careless move and one could be banished to the depths of the Starry Sky.

Emperor Gan would certainly not let him board the Boat of Creation.

After all, with his cultivation, once he boarded the Boat of Creation, he could completely seize control of it from their hands.

Therefore, Emperor Gan would definitely take him into a wrong black hole.

The Boat of Creation is an Artifact King, so no matter where it enters the Starry Sky, it can easily return, but he would not be able to.

Of course, this is what Emperor Gan believes to be impossible.

Yin Qi has Sky City and can return just the same.

"Since that is the case, I shall play along with their scheme; when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman gains."

Soon, a plan emerged in his mind, and Yin Qi smiled coldly.

Given the ambition of Emperor Gan and Hong Xuanji, Yin Qi could guess that they were likely calculating everyone into their plans.

But as to who will be the one calculating whom in the end, it is still too early to say.

He had long been prepared to go to the Nine Abysses Divine Domain.

……

Five days later.

San Hua Lou.

Hong Yi exclaimed in wonder, "The Nine Abysses Divine Domain, that such a strange place exists in the world is truly inconceivable. It is a natural prison; even if we cannot kill Yin Qi, we can thoroughly trap him to death. However, if we lie in ambush inside in advance, I do not believe he can survive the attack of the Eternal Kingdom without any preparation."

Su Mu nodded and said, "Actually, the Sect Master has long wanted to enter the Nine Abysses Divine Domain, but unfortunately, did not know the method to enter. It is rumored that in the deepest part of the Nine Abysses Divine Domain, there remains the molted shell left behind by the peerless Demon Kong."

Hong Yi asked curiously, "Who is Kong?"

Su Mu said, "Kong was a monkey from the Taigu period, skilled in theft. He once even stole the Pill of the Great Emperor of Longevity, but the Great Emperor of Longevity did not do anything to him; instead, he took him in as a disciple. It is said that Kong was not only a Peak Human Immortal but also a supreme expert of the Nine Tribulations of Thunder. One can imagine the value of his molted shell."

A flash of brilliance shone in Hong Yi's eyes, and he nodded slowly, saying in a deep voice, "Emperor Qian and Hong Xuanji are the most sinister of the two; this time we are secretly uniting to deal with Yin Qi, but we must also guard against them plotting against us. No, I must cast a hex."

Su Mu raised her eyebrows and asked in surprise, "Have you comprehended the I Ching?"

Hong Yi smiled proudly, "Comprehended is not the word, but I have realized a method of Calculation, which I call the Palm Scripture; within a single palm, one can calculate all the affairs of Heaven."

As he spoke, his thumb began to constantly pinch and calculate against the joints of his other four fingers.

Hong Yi's brows furrowed slightly, and they grew tighter and tighter.

Su Mu could not help but ask, "How is it?"

Hong Yi looked up, shook his head, and said, "I cannot calculate it. A rough calculation shows danger but no harm; another calculation shows great fortune; yet another shows a slim chance of survival. Every time I calculate, the result is different."

Su Mu said in shock, "How could it be like this?"

Hong Yi said in a deep voice, "Someone has disturbed the Heavenly Secret. It seems this trip to the Nine Abysses Divine Domain is destined to be turbulent. However, we have the Eternal Kingdom, and we are in an Innate Stage position of being invincible, so we have nothing to fear."

The Eternal Kingdom, the number one fierce weapon since time immemorial, once collided with and destroyed the Boat of Creation.

With such a miraculous king, Hong Yi and Su Mu truly had no need to worry.

But those who are good at swimming often drown.

Hong Yi and Su Mu did not know that at this moment, Yin Qi was already standing outside the Instant Labyrinth.
