As he spoke, he extended his hand to the side and said, "How about we have a moment to talk?"
Xiang Sheng nodded, "Senior Brother Jiang has spoken, how dare I not respond?"
Wan Lingmo watched the two of them walk away, his heart and eyes filled with confusion.
Why is the eldest brother so polite to Xiang Sheng?
What qualifications does she have?!
In the distance, Xiang Sheng and the other person stopped.
Jiang Yi got straight to the point, "Even the old demon king is helpless against your injuries. It seems that your only option is to reincarnate as a Yuan embryo."
"Senior Brother Jiang is truly as foresighted as a god."
Xiang Sheng smiled faintly, "Since we're talking about cooperation, are you prepared to help me again, Brother Jiang?"
"The Heavenly Gate was tightly closed, so it was impossible for you to obtain the Yuan Embryo. That's why I didn't mention this matter in Siji City five years ago."
Jiang Yi said, his hands behind his back, looking at the giant gate above the black tide. "Two years ago, when the Heavenly Gate opened, I thought of the Yuan embryo, but your body can only last for three years under the Four Extremes Restriction. It's too late. I didn't expect..."
Jiang Yi lowered his eyes and glanced at Xiang Sheng, "You haven't gained nothing in the Demon King Valley."
"Just luck."
Xiang Sheng said briefly, "Brother Jiang, let's get down to business."
Jiang Yi was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly: "You must not let anyone know what I am going to say next, otherwise even if you can be reincarnated, you will suffer great disaster."
This sounded familiar, and Xiang Sheng nodded without hesitation: "I'm all ears."
"The Heaven Gate, in ancient times, was called the Earthly Realm Gate."
Jiang Yi's words carried a weight of history as he continued, "Behind this door is another world of cultivation that is completely different from Dongzhou. It is named the Earthly Yin Realm because of the characteristics of its cultivators.
The human race in the Earthly Yin Realm is different from this world. They all have natural talents to support them. Even mortals who don't practice cultivation can fight against Qi cultivators on equal terms. Dongzhou... is far from being their match."
Jiang Yi's eyes flickered with complexity as he spoke. "Back then, Dongzhou was devastated and destitute. The Puppet Sect's leader, concerned for the common people, established this gate to completely isolate the Underworld. However, he himself was slain by the backlash of Heaven. She...died beneath this gate."
Xiang Sheng's delicate body trembled slightly, and she looked up at the huge door standing quietly in the air. She couldn't help but wonder what it would have been like for the leader of the Gui Sect, with whom she seemed inextricably linked, to stand at this door tens of thousands of years ago.
Jiang Yi continued, "A single gate was far from enough to stop the relentless attacks of the Underworld. Thus, her blood transformed into this black sea, so heavy that the Underworld, with all its might, could not move the gate even a fraction. Upon witnessing this, the Puppet Sect's leader passed away peacefully."
Xiang Sheng listened silently, looked up at the surging black tide, his eyes shocked.
At what level of cultivation can one's blood turn into sea water and drown the vitality of thousands of miles?
This sounds like a fairy tale, incredible.
Moreover, there is no explicit record of the catastrophe in ancient times, and the five major sects are only vaguely aware of the existence of Guijian. How does Jiang Yi know it so clearly?
Her eyes turned back and fell on Jiang Yi's face, as if she wanted to see something.
Xiang Sheng's gaze was undisguised, and Jiang Yi could see what she was thinking. However, he didn't explain a word, returning to his normal tone as he spoke, "The space near the gate to the Underworld is extremely unstable, and it can connect to all realms. If you use yourself as a guide to summon, perhaps you can make up for the shortfall and close the gate again."
Xiang Sheng understood a little bit of what he said, and his eyes turned cold. "Are you asking me to give up the Four Extremes?"
"Discard half of it. The remaining half of the restriction will be enough to support you and your Yuan embryo out."
Jiang Yi said calmly, "In exchange, I'll help you capture the Yuan Embryo. The Yuan Embryo has a spirit, and it's extremely difficult to capture it without skill. And to integrate into the Yuan Embryo, you're still missing a necessary condition. The old demon king doesn't know this either. I can give you this information as a gift."
Although the conditions were tempting, Jiang Yi felt that Xiang Sheng was too cautious to agree immediately.
But who would have thought that as soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Sheng smiled and nodded, saying, "Deal!"
Now it was Jiang Yi's turn to be slightly stunned.
"Senior Brother Jiang looks surprised?"
Xiang Sheng smiled faintly, "Brother, you are very knowledgeable about the events of the ancient times, especially your understanding of the Yuan Embryo. Your knowledge even surpasses that of the old Demon King of the Demon King Valley. If my guess is correct, then you are the one who was reincarnated from the Yuan Embryo in the ancient times, right?"
Jiang Yi pursed his lips and said, "Not bad."
Xiang Sheng shrugged. "With my experience, we have no other choice. Instead of wasting time here, we should act immediately. What do you think?"
Jiang Yi was silent for a moment, a rare smile appeared on his face, "Very good."
