Chapter 157 Unlucky Tiansa (Two in One)
“Crash!”
Gu Fangchen's eyes blurred, and the scene in front of him changed from his room to an endless sea of blood.
And he was in the middle of it.
This "in" does not mean the "in" where he can swim on the surface of the sea of blood, but the "in" where he cannot see the end whether he looks up, down, or around.
At this moment, Gu Fangchen's body was equivalent to reaching a thousand-meter deep sea and resisting the water pressure.
This is the "bottom of the underworld".
The Nine Netherworld is the world where evil spirits live.
Although it is called [Nine Netherworld], Huangquan is in front and Nine Netherworld is in the back.
After death, the souls of tens of billions of dead people first pass through the bardo and the underworld, which is the transitional area between the two, and is also the area where General Qianmo arranged the "longitude and latitude" formation, and then arrive at the Yellow Springs Sea of Blood.
The pressure of the Yellow Springs Sea of Blood will directly crush most ordinary souls.
Here, one directly re-enters the cycle of heaven and earth and is reborn.
A small number of stronger souls and the souls of practitioners will continue to fall and officially enter the "Nine Netherworlds".
And down here, there is no Yama who is in charge of judgment, but only countless souls who have been unwilling to be crushed by the cycle of heaven and earth for thousands of years.
To put it bluntly, "Jiuyou" is a large hydraulic press, a mechanism used by this world to process souls in batches and then reassemble them.
This mechanism refers to the various harsh environments in the "Nine Netherworlds".
The East is the Netherworld, the South is the Yin, the West is the Night, the North is the Feng, the Northeast is the Youdu, the Southeast is the Youye, the Southwest is the Youguan, the Northwest is the Youfu, and the Nether Prison is located in the center.
Among these nine places, there are nine kinds of purgatory, collectively known as the "Nine Netherworlds".
However, the souls of some practitioners are too powerful, so powerful that they can retain a certain consciousness, survive in this mechanism, and begin to seek to return to reality.
The only chance is to wait for the boundary between "Jiuyou" and reality to become unstable and then break through the crack.
However, such cracks are often hard to come by, and because they are narrow, they only allow one or two souls to pass through. Therefore, the souls staying in the "Nine Netherworlds" began to fight each other.
In this already high-pressure environment, weaker souls have to be wary of plots against their own kind. They will choose to attach themselves to more powerful beings and develop into some forces.
In a sense, it is understandable why practitioners are sometimes said to be going against the will of heaven.
To the Heavenly Dao, these practitioners are the bugs that block the program.
These souls avoid being crushed by purgatory while waiting for an opportunity to return to the human world.
Under such long-term torture, they can only rely on devouring other souls to maintain their own existence, but as a large number of souls merge, their consciousness begins to blur and their thoughts begin to distort.
Even if they return to reality, most of them have become evil spirits, or occupied the bodies of other creatures, further becoming evil spirits.
Only a very lucky few are able to retain their original consciousness and perform a plot similar to "Ghost".
Most of them were killed by practitioners as soon as they ran out.
But that tiny part, when placed in the entire [Nine Netherworld], is not even one ten-thousandth...
…
Gu Fangchen was well prepared for the current situation. He closed his eyes and subconsciously held his breath through his mouth and nose, switching to internal breathing.
That is to say, the circulation of spiritual energy through the internal organs and skin replaces normal breathing, and at the same time, protects the physical body.
[Nine Netherworlds] sounds mysterious, but it is only a part of this world and does not transcend the laws of this world.
However, the residents there have changed from normal humans to a bunch of monsters and demons.
Although this Yellow Spring Water added a bunch of debuffs and was 675.894659 times more poisonous than the "heart poison" on him, in the game, this thing could explode the player's poison bar in three seconds, and then start to lose blood in percentages.
If it drops by 5% every two seconds, it's no different from sudden death.
Anyone who sees it would exclaim in horror and pee their pants on the spot.
The Blood River Repentance Formation set up by Qingman Tiansa to trap Xiao Yinghao was actually a poor imitation of Huangquan.
But even so, there is still oxygen inside.
Because the skill [Yanwang Tie] teleports him to the bottom of Huangquan, and he can immediately escape from Huangquan's range. In this case, you only need to worry about instant death if your strength is too low or it is your first time seeing a kill.
Especially this Yellow Spring Water, which is mainly aimed at the soul.
The fact that Gu Fangchen entered in physical form was actually an advantage.
With Gu Fangchen's current strength, there is no problem for him to stay there for a short time. The main thing is to pay attention to isolating himself from the Yellow Spring Water and resisting pressure and lack of oxygen.
However, after Gu Fangchen actually did this, he was stunned for a moment, remembering that he was at the peak of the sixth rank, not the fifth rank.
Theoretically, only when one reaches the fifth-grade Dan state of mind can a complete internal circulation be established.
The physical body can form a cycle on its own, be independent of the world and be completely unaffected. Only then can it be called the "Infallible Golden Body", which is the peak of the fifth level.
However, as long as the internal circulation can be established, one can be considered to have truly escaped from the mortal body and his lifespan will be greatly increased.
Therefore, he can be called "Grand Master".
The establishment of the cycle mainly depends on cultivating the "two wheels of sun and moon".
One is the sun in the chest, as bright as the sun at noon, composed of vigorous qi, blood and heart fire.
The second is the moon in the brain, which is as clear and bright as the moon in the sky, composed of insightful spirit and will.
The two complement each other and form a heart as bright as snow that reflects everything.
The first step to enter the cycle is "internal breathing".
Only by changing the circulation of spiritual power from between the inside and outside, and between oneself and the heaven and earth, to an internal self-circulation, can it be condensed and compressed, promoting the concentration of qi, blood and spirit.
And in his moment of urgency, Gu Fangchen had naturally felt that he could do it, and he actually did it...
“Gurgle…”
While controlling his body to sink rapidly, Gu Fangchen felt the internal breathing he achieved in an instant, with a strange look on his face.
hiss……
Could it be that I have always underestimated myself, and I am actually a one in a million martial arts genius?
“Crash!”
After a while, Gu Fangchen emerged from the Yellow Springs water and suddenly opened his eyes.
But his face was still solemn and he didn't dare to breathe.
Because what comes next is the highlight.
This [Nine Netherworld] is different from [Dao Sword Palace], it is a very late-stage copy!
Not only are the monsters in there of high level, but their attacks all come with extremely strong debuffs. The environment is even more harsh, with poison pools everywhere.
He had no intention of challenging such a late-stage dungeon by jumping levels, and there was no way to quickly pass it by taking shortcuts. This was simply courting death.
His only task now is to survive!
The rest depends on that Qingman Tiansa... Well, if he is unlucky enough, two or three hits will trigger instant death.
This is also the reason why Gu Fangchen chose this guy.
If he is too strong, he will be able to hold on for too long before his chance of instant death increases, which will be very disadvantageous to Gu Fangchen.
This guy's third-grade cultivation is just right.
Moreover, he had destroyed the cooperation between them and Gu Yuye at that time, and now Gu Yuye would definitely try to fight for it again.
In particular, a prince from one of the four major tribes died at his hands.
Now Qing Man must be thinking about how to kill him...
It’s better to strike first.
Gu Fangchen raised his head.
He was clearly sinking just now, but at this moment, when he surfaced, he became floating and gravity was reversed again.
"The bottom of Huangquan" is the "top of Huangquan".
The sea of blood before him was endless, with thick fog covering it, and souls were constantly emerging from the underworld.
But most of them couldn't hold on and turned directly into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated in the fog.
There are also many souls paddling their arms desperately, trying to swim towards the dimly flickering lights in the distant fog.
Gu Fangchen narrowed his eyes and looked at the swaying light.
Surrounded by this endless fog and the terrifying sea of blood, the frightened souls will all head towards the only source of light.
But he did not go in that direction. Instead, he held his breath, moved a little closer, and waited quietly by the side.
Gu Fangchen looked at the career details unfolding above his head.
Now... it's time for the second skill to come into play.
[Skill 2: Wait for the right time to fly (passive)]
[Explanation: Look at the great eagle in the clouds, it won't fly unless it's for Yitian. Different buffs are gained depending on the time interval. [Expanded]]
【Buff effects include the following four types】
[Chen: You are able to sense the heavens, and your recovery speed has increased significantly.]
[Day: Your Qi and blood are vigorous, and your physical strength has greatly increased.]
【Dull: You have a flash of inspiration, and your understanding has greatly improved.】
[Ye: You are like dust in the light, your presence has been greatly reduced.]
And this moment happens to belong to the category of [night].
Gu Fangchen's presence is now greatly reduced. Therefore, as a human being who entered the "Nine Netherworlds" in physical form, he was not discovered to be abnormal at the first time.
Those evil spirits down there can only survive by devouring souls.
And human flesh and blood is a rare delicacy to them, plus the Ten-fold Tonic Pills!
Gu Fangchen waited cautiously for a moment. Those weak souls often could not hold on for long and died before they reached their destination.
During this period, his clothes were gradually corroded by the Yellow Spring water.
Gu Fangchen had no other options...
His current strength is such that if he uses elixirs, the overly strong fluctuations in spiritual power will attract attention. He can only rely on himself to hold on.
The most effective way is to reduce the range of spiritual power as much as possible, leaving only a thin layer to protect your physical body.
This is both economical and reduces fluctuations in spiritual power.
As for clothes and stuff, just ignore them for now.
Anyway, there are ghosts here... and there is no one here, so who would watch?
Just get over the shame.
What's more, we were in a sea of blood, and there was a thick layer of blood thorns blocking us...
"But this time is a little too long..."
Finally, when Gu Fangchen was almost sweating from waiting, a cultivator with a slightly stronger soul finally appeared. He was obviously a Shinto cultivator.
After enduring the baptism of the Yellow Spring water, he swam grunting to the front of the light.
But when he swam over there with hope, he found that the ball of light was actually an extremely long and thin ghost hand holding a tattered lamp, floating above the underworld.
When he approached, countless eyes suddenly opened on the ghost hand.
“Crash!”
In an instant, the sea of blood surged, and a huge figure emerged from under the water.
It turned out to be a fish-shaped evil spirit that looked like an anglerfish. In front of the cultivator's terrified gaze, it opened its bloody mouth and swallowed him.
Yes, this thing is not actually a lamp, but a bait for evil spirits. If you run towards the light, you will be fooled.
There are no ferrymen in the underworld...
“Crack, crack!”
The evil spirit swallowed the soul contentedly and swam slowly to the other side.
Gu Fangchen breathed a sigh of relief, stuck tightly to the evil creature's body, and merged into those various deformed ghost hands.
He successfully took advantage of the fact that the other party's attention was focused on the cultivator's soul and went around from behind to lie on top of the evil spirit.
In this way, he could conceal his human nature with this evil aura.
He can take a break for a while...
…
at the same time.
Qingman, far away from Shuobei.
Unlike the Great Wei, the Qingman people in the north live in grasslands and snow-capped mountains and are a completely nomadic culture.
They did not have their own city, but instead had twenty-four tribes radiating out from the Golden Tent of the Great Khan of Qingman.
Among these twenty-four tribes, four were the most powerful, and their leaders were also crowned kings by the Khan.
Each tribe has a Tiansa who divines the will of the gods and guides their actions, farming, and even marriage and death.
The one who led the entire Qingman was the only great celestial being, the 'Buddha's Holy Master' who broke Ding Xingfeng's mind - Mahamudra.
Agaro, whose tooth and bone ornaments were taken from his neck by Gu Fangchen, was the prince of the Ketu tribe, one of the four major tribes.
At this time, inside the golden tent, the Khan, wearing heavy armor and a heavy fur cloak, sat high above, holding a sword and a golden horse.
The Qingman people believe it.
He has a pair of majestic eyes, and whoever he looks at will kneel down.
There are also two arms that are as powerful as dragons and elephants, which can hold up the sacred snow-capped mountains of Qingman and the boundless sky.
The leaders of the various tribes of Ketu were kneeling below him, accusing him tearfully:
"The hateful and shameless Central Plains people stole the amulet from my son and took away the courage bestowed upon him by the gods! That's why he was trapped in despair and died at the hands of the Central Plains people!"
The Qingman Tiansa said:
"Khan! Gu Yuye sent us the new defense map as a sign of sincerity, and emphasized that he was not the one who leaked the plan. The Central Plains man supporting Xiao Yinghao is named Gu Fangchen. He is insidious and cunning, and he actually knew our plan in advance! He must be killed first!"
Before Khan could speak, his pupils suddenly constricted and he looked behind Tiansa.
That day, Sa Ye felt a chill on his back and quickly turned his head away.
But suddenly a crack opened up in the void.
The blood-red eyes were stunned at first, then they saw Tiansa's flesh and blood, and suddenly they became ferocious and rushed out with their bloody mouths wide open...
