Chapter 731

The shadow of the Dao Dust Pearl condensed by the stele condensed a piece of chaos, dropping strands of creation qi, nourishing the red lotus before the stele.

Seeing the red lotus of karmic fire becoming more and more beautiful, the karmic fire flying on the petals was as hot as flowing gold...

But at this time, everyone's attention was on the low-key group of the Demonic Path; the leader, the Supreme Supreme Tian Mo, was like a mass of flowing profound qi, the black mist rolling without a fixed shape, appearing eerie and unpredictable!

Previously, everyone already knew who was swimming naked, so they skipped Penglai, Yujing, the Dragon Palace, Guanghan, and some Primordial Spirits who were a step behind, and according to the previous rules, the secret key to the Yu Jiuyou should be in the hands of the Demonic Path.

Who would have expected the Supreme Supreme Tian Mo's tone to be slightly awkward, mysteriously saying: "The Yu Jiuyou secret key is not in the hands of our Yu Jiuyou Demonic Path!"

When he said this, the black mist covering his whole body rolled even more violently, clearly also not calm.

And the Yu Jiuyou Demonic Path stele had an aloof appearance, the chaotic and turbid great millstone manifested by the ghostly light still rotating slowly, wearing down many calamities, tempering a gray, destructive aura, making people shudder, and even if a True Immortal were stained, their Primordial Spirit would be destroyed.

As one of the sources of the Demonic Path, it didn't need to answer anything at all!

At this moment, the red lotus of karmic fire of the Grand Void stele suddenly bloomed, and Qian Chen's Dao body sat in the center of the lotus, the Dao Dust Pearl floating above his head; although it was only an incarnation, everyone dared not be negligent...

"Daoist Qian, you have finally appeared!"

Xin Hengping of Penglai's eyes lit up, and he said: "So the Dew-Bearing Plate was one of the secret keys to the Gui Xu secret realm; no wonder you schemed and plotted for this! After our Penglai Xu Ancestor was plotted against by you and fell into Gui Xu, three of the four Primordial Spirit True Immortals fled into the secret realm, and the matter of the Dew-Bearing Plate's reception light being cut off was likely also your scheme to plot for the Dew-Bearing Plate!"

"Why don't you quickly hand over the other secret keys; perhaps this red lotus of karmic fire is one of them!"

The Primordial Spirit Long Wang of the Dragon Clan pondered slightly and also echoed: "The matter of the Gui Xu secret realm is all caused by you!"

"In the past, at the Luo Zhen Immortal Sect, you borrowed the excuse of refining the Reincarnation Divine Pill; it should have been to plot to enter the Gui Xu secret realm."

Xin Hengping analyzed calmly: "The one supporting the Gui Xu secret realm is also a Heavenly Primordial Spirit Ao! And you only have a fragment of the Dew-Bearing Plate in your hand, so you borrowed the hands of overseas peers to fish out the God Ao, thereby entering the Gui Xu secret realm holding the Dew-Bearing Plate, but accidentally fell into it!"

"That's why you schemed in every way in Gui Xu, reflecting the secret realm within it, thereby laying out a layout to make the overseas situation gather, stirring up a great calamity, just to gather the many fragments of the Dew-Bearing Silver Plate! And scheming with Shaoqing to break our Dragon Clan's Four Seas Array was to lead us to take out the Dew-Bearing Golden Plate."

"Finally, with the gold and silver combined, sensing the copper plate in Gui Xu, you struck into it, opening the road to the Gui Xu secret realm to save your origin!"

The old Long Wang said faintly:

"What a lotus incarnation! What a Grand Void guardian... killing our Dragon Clan's Primordial Spirit Long Wang, fighting four True Immortals, and finally entering Gui Xu to compete for the Dew-Bearing Plate gathered by the gold, silver, and copper plates! And you blocked the entrance to Gui Xu for three days, I fear it was just to lay out in advance, triggering this lineage stele, and cutting off the road for us to enter Gui Xu! That's why the first stele we saw when we came in was the Supreme Grand Void."

"You manipulated the red lotus to land before the stele, making people sacrifice, which is why you triggered the descent of many lineages and the appearance of the calamity-free land!"

Two Primordial Spirit True Immortals killed and punished the heart, throwing one black pot after another at Qian Chen, stirring up the thoughts of the group of Primordial Spirits.

"You did this just to plot for the Dew-Bearing Plate and monopolize this Gui Xu secret realm!"

But Qian Chen was not innocent!

In fact, his schemes were ten times more ruthless than what the two had framed him for. Mere scheming for the Dew-Bearing Plate and so on was just by the way...

But these words were really useful...

The old woman of Guanghan Palace said faintly: "Regardless of whether what the two fellow Daoists said is true, fellow Daoist Qian had better prove his innocence!"

Yu Changsheng also said: "The Gui Xu secret realm was opened up by all parties, not owned by your Grand Void Gate alone, so, fellow Daoist, you had better hand over the keys to open the passage!"

Qian Chen swept his gaze over everyone calmly; he had never seen such a behavior of rushing to find death!

Cutting off the road to the Gui Xu secret realm was clearly the work of certain Lingbao when the Lords of Reincarnation manifested. They wanted to prevent them from being introduced into Gui Xu by Qian Chen.

The lotus and Bodhi of the Buddhist sect had said it so clearly!

"There is a great fierce being in the Gui Xu secret realm, I fear it will evolve into the Yu Jiuyou!"

They didn't even weigh how terrifying the danger of the Yu Jiuyou was...

Master Zhutanmo's expression was solemn, his hands pressed together in silence, only the halo behind his head dimmed slightly. He felt a hint of ominousness, his Zen heart warning him, seemingly the time erased by the Kunlun Mirror contained extremely important information.

But Qian Chen sat on the red lotus, the Grand Void stele behind him responding to him like the manifestation of the Great Dao, shielding this feeling!

Making Bodhisattva Master Zhutanmo frown slightly, but his Zen heart could no longer sense anything.

Qian Chen lowered his eyes slightly, gazing at the crowd received by the red lotus, and said: "Since I promised to ferry you to the Gui Xu secret realm, I will definitely do it."

"The reception of the Dew-Bearing Plate has been cut off, but the key to the road of the Yu Jiuyou is still in my hand! I can naturally open a Yu Jiuyou secret road for you, and thereby transfer to that secret land."

"It's just that this road is more dangerous than the original one, but I guarantee that as long as you don't leave the lotus, you will be safe!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was speechless, and the group of the Demonic Path was shocked, as they hadn't expected that among the other keys mentioned by the demon clan, the one in the hands of the Grand Void guardian was actually their 'Yu Jiuyou secret key'!

Even Penglai and the Dragon Clan hadn't expected Qian Chen to admit so easily that he could open another road...

And, the Yu Jiuyou secret road should clearly be related to the Demonic Path, why was it not in the hands of the Yu Jiuyou Dao, but in the hands of the Grand Void guardian?

For a moment, Yu Changsheng looked at the Supreme Supreme Tian Mo of the Yu Jiuyou Dao with a meaningful look, his eyes filled with indescribable mockery.

This made the Supreme Supreme Tian Mo slightly embarrassed, but a Yang Spirit of a Southern Jin aristocratic family suddenly spoke up cleverly: "The Jiankang calamity, the three Heavenly Masters took action to kill two Heavenly Demons; could it be Qian Daoist's scheme to seize the Yu Jiuyou secret key?"

Sun En coldly swept a glance at this fellow with an unclear brain—

Qian Chen did not pay attention to him; is this fellow worthy of being called a fellow Daoist by me? What Dao do I cultivate, and what Dao do you seek?

The group of Primordial Spirit True Immortals had different expressions, but they were clearly looking at the group of the Demonic Path; since they knew that there was a road to the heavens and myriad realms hidden in Gui Xu, the key to the Yu Jiuyou secret road was of great importance and could be considered a share of the foundation of the major sects!

Although the Demonic Path mastered many cracks leading to the Yu Jiuyou, this road in Gui Xu was clearly somewhat different, just like how a Yang Spirit can rainbow-transform and ascend to the heavenly realm, but how many Dao Lords and True Immortals of the heavenly realm can reverse and descend?

The last time an Immortal, Buddha, or Bodhisattva from the higher realm descended to the Earth Immortal Realm was when Bodhisattva Guangfa was preaching overseas... and the outcome was extremely bad.

Qian Chen's lotus incarnation stood up and came beneath the Supreme Grand Void stele, and everyone's spirits were lifted, wanting to see what the Yu Jiuyou secret key really was.

Several Primordial Spirit True Immortals had speculations in their hearts, thinking it should be that red lotus of karmic fire, because only this object originated from the Yu Jiuyou, was related to the Demonic Path, and as a supreme Lingbao, it was worthy of being the Yu Jiuyou secret key!

If it really were this red lotus of karmic fire, I fear many people would have other calculations in their hearts.

But Qian Chen beckoned, and a presence that no one could have imagined fell into his hand.

The ear-dao god, the size of a bean, holding a talisman brush taller than himself, seemed to be still dozing off, his little head leaning on the brush handle and nodding, suddenly appeared in Qian Chen's hand, and couldn't help but rub his eyes, looking blank!

"It's that ear-dao god!" someone couldn't help but exclaim.

"So it's that mysterious ear-dao god that might have been drifting in the human world for a long time! It knows too many things; could it be that it is keeping the Yu Jiuyou secret key?" The transformation-stage cultivator of Fengwen Tower was mixed in a group of overseas cultivators, standing on tiptoe and poking his head out to watch the fun, while greeting those around him.

Seeing the Supreme Grand Void stele, the ear-dao god pointed at the characters on it and chirped twice, and Qian Chen tapped his brush, only then did he manage to shut up.

Then the little monster flew to the stele and wrote two lines of blood-colored characters beneath "Supreme Grand Void, Suppressing Gui Xu"...

Supreme Subduing Demons, seeing it is ominous! Once you enter this gate, there is no return from the Yu Jiuyou!

At this moment, everyone reacted in horror; it was not that this ear-dao god mastered the key, but that it was the key.

The Primordial Spirits of the Demonic Path stared at the sixteen blood characters, discovering that their qi was twisted, seemingly able to manifest a demonic body that could not be described, the blood-red characters transforming into a stream of nether qi, which in the eyes of the Supreme Supreme Tian Mo transformed into a long river.

"So this is the key; these sixteen characters contain a kind of fierce and unparalleled demonic path, involving the Great Dao of the Yu Jiuyou. The blood ink also seems to hide mysteries, likely used some kind of god-demon blood." Some Undying Gods and Demons of the Demonic Path secretly recorded those sixteen characters, seemingly comprehending the demonic intent within them.

"That ear-dao god passed down the Heavenly Curse Scripture, knows the secrets of the ancient times, and is even related to the great figures of the Immortal Qin and the Heavenly Court. It has drawn reincarnation with Buddha blood, and I didn't expect it to be related to the Yu Jiuyou secret road..." Many cultivators were whispering to each other.

The Primordial Spirit of the Cao family felt a move in his heart, suddenly thinking of the "Six Paths Reincarnation Map" that his nephew had exchanged for with two bronze sparrow magic treasures.

He secretly took out that picture scroll, only to find that the scroll and this Yinhe had a mysterious connection, seemingly able to produce some extremely terrifying changes!

Since Qian Chen's identity was revealed, the Cao family Primordial Spirit had guessed that the ear-dao god was likely related to Daoist Qian, originally thinking that the "Six Paths Reincarnation Map" was a bait thrown out by Daoist Qian and was already a piece of waste paper! But he didn't expect such a change...

"The Six Paths Reincarnation Map can also open the Yu Jiuyou secret road once!" he suppressed his surprise in his heart.

Just this one opportunity was not a loss, not to mention the secret of reincarnation hidden in this picture scroll, which was likely also related to this Yinhe!

That line of blood characters was actually a kind of ink not inferior to Buddha blood!

Accompanied by the intertwining of these eight characters, terrifying qi surged on the stele, the chaos behind it suddenly split open, a piece of gloom fell, transforming into a long river flowing mighty toward the distance.

The long river was bottomless, dim and unbearable, filled with incomparable gloom.

The Yu Jiuyou qi of Yin, gloom, death, extinction, resentment, filth, poison, demon, and evil blew past from afar, black mist rolling, emitting eerie sounds like ghosts crying and wolves howling!

The split chaotic hole was like a pitch-black entrance, and in that shadowy Yu Jiuyou river, a phantom of a broken world occasionally emerged abruptly, faintly visible with broken walls and ruined mountain and river palaces...

A land filled with white flags and graves, like a world fallen into silence, incomparably desolate!

There seemed to be floating ghost shadows and corpses in the river, and the various Primordial Spirits caught a glimpse from the gloom, seeing them vaguely, but all were shocked, because they felt those corpses and souls were not inferior to themselves.

Although these scenes were fleeting, even if they were hidden, what kind of eyesight did the various Primordial Spirits have; they saw through at a glance that these were not illusions.

Many Primordial Spirits recalled the terrifying qi surging in this Yinhe; it seemed to have appeared in the Earth Immortal Realm in the past.

That was the era of the three great divine dynasties; a Yinhe like this surged beneath the Earth Immortal Realm, often sweeping away corpses buried in the ground, bringing mysterious and eerie invasions to the burials of that era. Later, in the era of the Hundred Schools of Thought, the Earth Immortal Realm gradually broke free from the invasion of the Yu Jiuyou, and a sage cut off this long river.

I didn't expect to see it again in Gui Xu!

"Worlds that fall into Gui Xu and die will also have souls and even nether earth, flowing along this river into the Yu Jiuyou!"

Qian Chen gazed at this Yinhe and said in a low voice: "Although Primordial Spirit True Immortals are immortal and can ascend to the heavenly realm, there are always people willing to be buried with their world, or who owe too much karma to the world to pay back, and are dragged into Gui Xu by the destroyed world! The former have great spirit and can transform into ghost gods in Gui Xu, while the latter are very unwilling and often make trouble in the Yinhe!"

Qian Chen did not wait for the crowd to answer, but pointed his finger, and red light overflowed from his body, falling onto the Yu Jiuyou Yinhe and re-transforming into a red lotus of karmic fire.

He himself also turned into a shadow, stepped onto the red lotus, turned his head to the crowd and said: "The red lotus of karmic fire will take you to the secret realm, remember! Don't be surprised by anything you encounter on the road, just stay on the lotus and don't move!"

This kind of instruction made people feel a sense of ominousness, and they had to think for the worst.

"What will appear in the Yinhe! Immortal corpses and ghost gods?"

A transformation-stage cultivator stepped onto the red lotus and asked Qian Chen: "Can the junior close the five senses? To cross this river?"

"Some things cannot be avoided by closing the five senses..." Qian Chen glanced at him and said faintly: "Falling into a state of absolute silence is also a demonic realm, and it is even more terrifying! Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have to enter extinction in silence, how do you compare to them?"

That cultivator's heart trembled, and he dared not ask any more.

"Can these magic treasures be used to resist the things in the Yinhe!" Another cultivator lifted his hem, revealing Buddhist beads and jade pendants densely packed inside, and even relics of the shamanic sect, hanging all over his body in pieces.

His collection was quite extraordinary, some ancient things containing faint vow power, and a few items were even pleasing to Qian Chen's eyes, but he clearly hadn't grasped the method himself, just discovering their differences.

"You are a grandfather sending opportunities to the protagonist!" Qian Chen sighed in his heart.

But he just said coldly: "You don't understand the taboos of these things, putting so many on your body, be careful of attracting their original owners!"

This cultivator didn't say a word, and left the few items he was most confident in, throwing the others into the Yinhe, and then he felt his scalp go numb as he saw a few items actually attract vague figures in the Yinhe, who took away the things he threw...

A female corpse even glanced at him in the Yinhe, and backhanded the bone hairpin in her hand back onto her head, nodding slightly at him.

A cold air rose in that cultivator's heart, and he completely believed Qian Chen's words!

Because this bone hairpin was obtained from an ancient tomb of the Heavenly Merchant Divine Dynasty period, the tomb owner's corpse was missing, seemingly taken away by some things! Now seeing this female corpse, he suddenly remembered that he had seen a woman in a mural in the tomb who was extremely similar to this female corpse; although the painting style was ancient, he inexplicably recognized the temperament!

Xiao Yu and the old Daoist saw this scene and frantically poured out the things in their sleeves and Qiankun bags, throwing them into the Yinhe one by one...

At this moment, even the Primordial Spirit Long Wang of the Dragon Clan felt a chill in his heart; could those existences who had died for millions of years in the Earth Immortal Realm still be seen in the Yu Jiuyou Yinhe in Gui Xu? It turned its head to look at the blind old dragon.

The old dragon shook its head slightly at it, and said hoarsely: "The existences in the Yu Jiuyou cannot be reasoned with!"

"This Yinhe could invade the Earth Immortal Realm for millions of years, making several generations of human emperors and sons of heaven set up various means to guard against it, naturally it has its terrifying aspects!"

Saying this, it couldn't help but throw out the dove head of the wooden staff in its hand!

Then a long shadow swam through the Yinhe, flashing past; it struggled to open a blood eye, chased and looked at it, then retreated a few steps in terror, almost sitting down on the ground, a trace of deep fear appearing in its expression.

"Don't open your eyes to anything you encounter on the road!"

The Primordial Spirit Long Wang went up to help it up, but was grabbed by the sleeve and warned: "Do not pay attention to any weirdness that appears on the way, otherwise... you will definitely encounter ominousness! Yu Jiuyou... Yu Jiuyou may not necessarily be safer than Gui Xu..."
