Chapter 310: Underworld
One year later, the demons and monsters in the Underworld were wiped out, and the five tribes also joined Qianyuan. Bai Yijun became the Emperor of the Earth and possessed the power of the Emperor. With Zhou An, a real Daluo Jinxian, the five tribes in the Underworld had to submit. Moreover, the enemy in the Heavenly Realm was still there, and they needed a strong man to lead the way.
The five tribes in the earth realm are the Demon Tribe, Ghost Tribe, Monster Tribe, and Soul Tribe. Except for the Soul Tribe that cannot survive in the human world, other races can live in the human world or the earth realm at will.
Liangjie City has become a major transportation hub connecting the earthly world and the human world. Its commerce is extremely developed, making it the absolute number one commercial city in the world.
During this period, the goddess contacted Zhou An many times. Knowing that they did not arouse the suspicion of the Jin family, the goddess felt much more relieved and asked Zhou An to help find a man named Ji Xian in the Soul Clan.
The other party revealed that this person was the key to competing with the Jin family, and asked Zhou An to train her well. The goddess's name was also known, and it was Ji Hongyu, but unfortunately she did not reveal too much.
However, Zhou An obtained the memories of the Jin family and already knew the information about the Ji family. The Ji family was an ancient family, but it had fallen into decline for some reason. However, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the Ji family still has a solid foundation.
They have always wanted to control Kaiyuan Star and the Earth, but the blond man is not qualified to know the purpose, and he also doesn't know the real secrets of the Jin and Ji families.
Now they can only temporarily rely on the power of the Ji family to compete with the Jin family. The Soul Clan has already joined Qianyuan. They found Ji Xian after a long time and brought him back to the Heavenly Palace.
Ji Xian had no memories of the past. When Zhou An found him, he was just a confused ghost. The Soul Clan said that when people enter the underworld after death, they will be affected by the cross-boundary influence and most of their memories will disappear. Only some particularly deep memories will remain.
Ji Xian has only been here for less than a hundred years, and it usually takes about three hundred years for him to recover his full spiritual intelligence.
In order to cultivate Ji Xian, Ji Hongyu sent a lot of good things through the Mountain and River State Map, including elixirs to improve cultivation and spirit, and even items of inheritance, things like the Human Emperor Order, which could help one master the laws after absorbing them.
However, these were not given to Ji Xian, but were given by Zhou An to his concubines to enhance the combat effectiveness of Zhou An's forces.
Ji Xian took Zhou An as his master and practiced the Concentration Technique, which was the same Concentration Technique that the head of the Zhengyi Sect practiced back then, but that was a modified version of the technique, and this time it was complete.
Sooner or later, the Jin family will discover something unusual here, and a battle is inevitable, so Ji Hongyu began to help strengthen his strength.
At the same time, Ji Hongyu taught them the art of covering the sky. Once they reached the realm of Daluo Jinxian and mastered the laws of heaven, they would be discovered by the heaven.
Since the Jin family is in charge of Kaiyuan Star, they can openly use the power of the Heavenly Eye to come to the human world and take away the Daluo Jinxian, or destroy him on the spot.
The Sky Eye can allow people from heaven to temporarily reach the lower world, but they will soon be forcibly taken back. Moreover, the activation of the Sky Eye is restricted, and heaven also has laws and regulations that cannot be broken by any family.
This Heaven-Covering Art can conceal the Heavenly Eye, making it impossible for the people in the Heavenly Realm to sense the power of the Daluo Golden Immortal.
Zhou An was able to reach the Daluo Jinxian level without being discovered because of the Map of Mountains, Rivers, and States, a treasure that could hide his aura.
As for why the Heavenly Realm would destroy one at all costs once he reached the Golden Immortal stage, Zhou An was not sure. It might be because they were afraid of a too strong power appearing in the lower realm, or it could be something else.
On this day, Zhou An transformed himself in the Heavenly Palace Refining Square and used the Qiankun Ding to refine perfect super-magic gold, preparing fairy-level armor for more people who entered the fairyland.
Now this incarnation has become Zhou An's tool, responsible for doing work everywhere. The original body has been practicing in the harem. Fortunately, his incarnation has reached the realm of Daluo Jinxian and has a glimpse of the laws of heaven. The original body has also benefited greatly. Not only has the speed of practice increased rapidly, but he can also use some means of the laws in the realm of heaven.
At this time, the purple-robed guard came over and saluted, saying, "Emperor of Heaven, the commander of the Soul Department wants to see you."
"Bring him here." Zhou An said, and with a thought, the perfect super magic gold in the Qiankun furnace was smelted to completion, and turned into parts that flew out and landed on the side. The purple-clothed guards guarding the side would send the cooled parts to the scientific research department.
Soon the commander of the Soul Department came over. He was an old man, dressed somewhat like the King of Hell on Earth, with a nine-tassel crown on his head. This decoration made Zhou An feel somewhat familiar, and made him wonder whether he had any connection with the Earth.
"Greetings to the Emperor of Heaven." The Soul Department Commander saluted.
"No need to be so polite. What's the matter?" Zhou An stopped refining, looked at him and asked.
"Regarding the events of the Earth Realm 100,000 years ago, the Dengtian Peak did not exist 100,000 years ago. It was originally the palace of the Earth Emperor, called the Underground Palace. 100,000 years ago, the Earth Emperor and the Ten Palace Kings were summoned, and the Daluo Jinxian of the entire Earth Realm and the Daluo Jinxian of the Human Realm disappeared.
When the Emperor of Earth left, he left some information in the underground palace and never came back. Later, the Heavenly Ghost King, Heavenly Demon King, and Heavenly Demon King entered the underground palace one after another, but every time they entered, they would go against the will of heaven and kill their way to heaven and never return.
Later, a new earth emperor appeared and built the Dengtian Peak, which gave rise to the land behind. "The Soul Commander had a complicated look on his face, not knowing if what he said was right.
Zhou An was slightly surprised, looked at him and asked, "Why are you telling me now?"
"I am worried that the Emperor of Heaven will follow the same path as his predecessors, so I dare not tell this news. But now the Heavenly Realm will sooner or later discover the changes in the Earthly Realm. Perhaps there will be important information in the Underground Palace. I hesitated for a long time before telling the Emperor of Heaven. Please forgive me." The old commander had a terrified expression on his face.
Zhou An smiled and said, "Notify the five tribes in the underground world to send out a team of people each and follow me into the underground palace in three days."
"Yes." The Soul Commander secretly breathed a sigh of relief, saluted and left.
Three days later, Zhou An led the disciples of Mingyu Palace and the five tribes to Dengtian Peak. There was no entrance to the underground palace, and one had to use the escape technique to get down.
Just as Zhou An was about to go down, the chief of the Celestial Demon Clan stepped forward and said, "Emperor of Heaven, the human world and the earth world have finally reached peace. Please think twice. The Celestial Demon King, the Celestial Ghost King, and the Celestial Demon King all rushed to the Celestial Realm after going down, which led to the Celestial Realm's blockade. There is a high possibility that there is a trap below."
"There must be important information about the Heavenly Realm below. The Heavenly Realm's Golden Armor will find out the anomaly here sooner or later. We can only delay this battle, but cannot avoid it. We need more information now. Don't worry, I will not act impulsively."
After Zhou An said so, the five tribes said no more. Zhou An waved his hand, and the disciples of Mingyu Palace first turned into ghost mist and drilled into the ground. Then Zhou An and the warriors of the five tribes turned into streams of light and drilled into the ground.
It is known that the underground palace is under the Dengtian Peak. If we use the earth escape method to go down, our soul will find it quickly.
When Zhou An's escape light flew down to the ground, he saw a huge stone archway with bright red pillars on both sides, with the three words "Gate of Hell" written on them.
There are indeed records of the underworld among the five tribes, but they have only been seen in the tribe’s books. This is the first time that we can see the real underworld.
There is a tall and mighty stone statue of a hellhound in front of the gate of hell, but its head is missing.
The people from the five tribes immediately dispersed and divided into five teams to enter. Zhou An and the people from Mingyu Palace followed behind.
Corpse Demon Princess frowned and said, "The soul here is suppressed by a force. I can only sense the range of ten meters around me."
"The dark energy here is particularly heavy, and it is suppressing everyone's spirit." Bai Longji said.
"The spiritual power of the Netherworld True Solution is not restricted. Everyone can use the Netherworld Clan's skills to avoid the influence of Netherworld Qi." Bai Yijun reminded.
The people from the Mingyu Palace immediately started practicing their skills, and a dark orchid light appeared around them. Not only would the dark energy not harm them, but it would help to improve their cultivation.
Not long after they walked, several demons in front suddenly fell down for no reason.
Everyone stopped immediately, and the Demon Chief checked on his people. There were no physical injuries, but their souls were gone.
The old leader of the Soul Clan came over to take a look and said, "This should be the legendary Yellow Spring Road. Living people can't walk on this road. If you continue down this road, your soul will be taken away."
"If living people can't leave, how did the Ghost King, Demon King, and Demon King get in?" Zhou An asked.
"Only the protective mystical light of the Golden Immortal can pass through the Yellow Springs Road. I'm not sure about this. The records in the clan's books are not complete. This is my judgment. But our Soul Clan is not affected." said the old patriarch of the Soul Clan.
"Those from the Soul Clan and the Golden Immortal Realm follow me in, and the rest of you stay at the Hell Gate." Zhou An gave the order, and the people from all clans immediately retreated, with only the patriarchs of the five clans and the Soul Clan following in.
Except for the Soul Clan, everyone released a protective mysterious light, and their bodies were surrounded by balls of light of various colors and flew inside.
This time there were no more accidents, and we arrived at a stone bridge. The stone bridge was so long that we couldn't see the end at a glance.
The river water under the bridge is clear, but at first glance, what appears in the water is not your own reflection, and you can't see the bottom of the water. Instead, it makes you fall into an illusion, seeing your past life.
Seeing these, Zhou An immediately thought of the legends of the underworld on Earth. Although they were not exactly the same, some important points were still the same.
