Netherworld Chapter 140: Love and Tao (1)
Since my first divine initiation, I have learned three spells.
The first one is a protective spell that can allow one to escape into nothingness and avoid being hurt by others.
The second one is a mantra for self-cultivation, which can help me increase my spiritual power.
The third one is "Wanfa Moji". I have used it twice, but I still don’t understand its function.
This time, at the most critical moment, as if someone was guiding me subconsciously, I used this spell again.
Nothing can go against it!
When the faint green light sank into the chest of the bronze-armored corpse, I suddenly felt that my fingers seemed to be connected to another world.
That world is not real, it is just a strange feeling. I can feel that there is a ball of air flowing in it, and there is nothing else.
That ball of air made me feel dangerous. It exuded the aura of a ferocious beast.
The light blue light that shot out from the fingers penetrated directly into the deepest part of the air mass.
The air mass suddenly stopped from surging. Then, a faint green light exploded from the center, and the entire air mass shattered and disappeared in that wonderful world at an extremely fast speed.
When I came to my senses, I felt a sharp pain in my right arm. It was a sprain caused by the Taoist's strong pulling, and the pain was excruciating. But my sight was occupied by the strange scene in front of me.
The top-level bronze-armored corpse that had been chasing fiercely now stood still . The red light in its eyes had dissipated, and its skin was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye until it became a rotting corpse with skin and bones.
The clothes it was wearing fell off and slid to the ground along its bamboo-like body.
There is no dust in the underworld, but the mutation of the bronze-armored corpse has caused turbulent dust in this gloomy yet pure underworld.
At that moment, the jade pendant on my chest seemed to be burning, burning unimaginably hot. Then, I felt powerless all over and could only let the old Taoist drag me away.
Gamu was shocked, Shen Lao was shocked, and even Wei Qingcang, who had been unable to turn around because he was trying to protect Gamu, trembled.
I originally thought that this top-level bronze-armored corpse had always been connected to Wei Qingcang's life. But at that time, I was surprised to see that Gamu spit out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
Wei Qingcang turned around suddenly and held him. Behind him, countless rays of Taoist power surged and completely submerged them.
It turns out that Wei Qingcang has already given the world's only top-level bronze-armored corpse to Gamu...
I was shocked at how much Wei Qingcang valued brotherhood, and I was also shocked by Gamu's actions.
The situation at this moment made me realize that it was not Wei Qingcang who stopped the old Taoist, but Gamu. But he didn't seem to be keeping such a close watch on us.
Otherwise, with the power of the top-level bronze-armored corpse, it would be difficult for the old Taoist and I to escape in a hurry.
These two brothers always do things that are hard to understand.
Without the pursuit of the bronze-armored corpse and the intimidation of Wei Qingcang, the old Taoist's speed increased again.
He jumped more than ten meters, landed quickly, and then pulled me forward.
This step pulled all the surrounding images backwards.
The speed of the shrinking technique is one of the fastest in the world and almost unmatched.
The old Taoist led me to take three steps in a row, and when we stopped, we were not far from the figure that was several thousand meters tall.
Only when you look at it up close can you understand how majestic this figure is.
As if he was as high as the sky, even though his eyes were not open, he still had an incomparable majestic aura. Beside him, there was a dragon swimming. However, it did not have the majestic aura as described in the legend, but instead, it looked a little depressed because of its dull color.
The place where we stopped was some distance away from the Imperial Cultivation Crowd and also from the crowds rushing towards us.
I felt limp all over, without any strength at all. As soon as the Taoist priest stopped, I fell to the ground.
The body of the Emperor of Heaven was right before his eyes. The old Taoist looked up at him without moving or speaking.
I was massaging my sprained shoulder while looking at him. I really wanted to ask him if I was very good and reliable just now.
But I always feel that this is too disgusting and I am a little embarrassed to say it.
You did a great job. The old Taoist's voice suddenly came.
I was stunned for a moment, and then I heard him say: Without the origin of the Five Classics, it is indeed not as good as the Eight Ropes.
This made me both happy and a little nervous.
Although Wanfa Mo Ni caused the top bronze-armored corpse to mutate, I knew that I was no match for the old Taoist in any aspect. This time, it was just an accident.
Actually, it was just... I wanted to say this, but the old Taoist didn't let me finish. He looked at the huge body in front of him and said: There are many dangerous roads, it is hard to say whether it is dangerous. This place is hundreds of miles away from the hall, you can rest temporarily. Find an opportunity and leave with those people.
These words left me stunned.
What does this mean?
You want to go by yourself?
Yes, yes. The old Taoist nodded: The Taoist spell just now has consumed all your Taoist power. If I take you there now, you won't even be able to cast the protective spell. You have helped me enter the underworld, and this is the most likely place to find my junior brother. If there is no such thing even here...
The old Taoist paused for a few seconds, and then said in a slightly suppressed voice: Pass on the Five Elements Pulse Method for me.
This is the second time the Taoist said this to me.
The first time, he was preparing to split the stone beast remaining in the Five Elements Vein and set foot on the unknown mysterious ancient road to find his junior brother who he had not heard from for decades.
This second time, he was still looking for his junior brother. But I could sense that the old Taoist's heart had gradually become dead.
He was right. The underworld was the most likely place to find his junior brother. The end of the mysterious ancient road was probably the underworld. If he couldn't find him even here, then he would never be able to find him in his lifetime.
By then...
I looked at the old Taoist's back. He never turned around, so I couldn't see his appearance clearly.
But his back was full of loneliness and desolation.
Finding his junior fellow apprentice is his only goal for the rest of his life.
He once loved a woman, but due to some unforeseen circumstances, he suffered the most unbearable pain in the world.
When he stood outside the door and knew that the woman who had been making love with his junior fellow apprentice was actually the woman he loved the most, what would he think?
He was the one who sent that woman in with his own hands out of righteousness. He knew nothing about it before the door closed. Even if he knew, he couldn't stop it. Because he wanted to sacrifice the woman's innocence to save his junior brother, but after the door closed, he realized that the woman with a strange face was actually his lover.
How could the old Taoist, who was still a young man at the time, endure such pain?
The beloved woman left in grief and anger.
The most beloved master passed away quietly.
The junior fellow who was rescued after enduring unspeakable pain disappeared because of the stone beast a few months later.
When his fellow apprentice disappeared, perhaps the world he saw was already blank.
The dead cannot be resurrected, and the loved ones are speechless. Only by finding his junior brother can he get to where he is today.
But now, the old Taoist has to stop the Emperor of Heaven from resurrecting alone.
I felt a kind of determination from him.
If possible... take care of them for me, the Taoist said.
no!
I just said these two words, and he took a step and disappeared from my sight in an instant.
This kind of determination left me no time to react. He actually went alone...
I suddenly understood that the old Taoist was not going to stop the resurrection of the Emperor of Heaven because the whereabouts of Junior Brother were not necessarily related to the resurrection of the Emperor of Heaven.
He was in a suicidal mentality.
The second before I figured this out, I couldn't understand why he wanted to die with such a persistent belief.
But later, I realized that the Taoist priest was just too tired.
From a young man to now with gradually gray hair, he has endured twenty-five years of torment.
In addition to relatives, there is also the pressure of loneliness of the five elements and the pressure of inheritance.
He no longer knew how to vent his anger. If there was any way, the only option would be death.
In the past, the old Taoist would never think about dying. He suddenly had such an idea, perhaps it was related to the fact that the underworld was about to revive and the reincarnation was about to begin.
He wanted to reincarnate and live again, leaving behind all the pain and suffering of this life.
At this moment, there were sudden cracking and rumbling sounds in the distance. Amid the huge noise, I saw that the Emperor of Heaven closed his eyes tightly, and his right foot was slowly raised.
Under its feet, countless talismans flashed, one after another, densely packed like chains, covering the surrounding land.
The Emperor of Heaven's right foot pulled up the chain. Immediately, there was a buzzing sound in my ears, as if the whole world was vibrating from the inside out, every inch of space.
At this time, I saw a dazzling green light falling from the sky. Since the distance was not very far, I could vaguely see that it was a person covered in green light, falling from a high altitude, and stepping on the head of the Emperor of Heaven.
