Chapter 518: A Reunion After Four Millennia
The Earthly Catastrophe.
The calamity from which the creatures of the Celestial Desolation Realm can never escape.
The ax of fate that has hung over the heads of the Celestial Desolation Realm creatures since their birth is finally about to fall.
Within the realm of cultivation, a gloomy atmosphere permeates, with numerous cultivators experiencing immense anguish and despair.
However, the Heavenly Court has sealed off the information, and those who are aware of this are mostly high-level cultivators, while the majority of cultivators remain ignorant and unaware. Therefore, the significant upheaval that typically occurs before the Earthly Catastrophe descends didn't happen this time.
The cultivators continue to immerse themselves in the mountains and rivers, silently cultivating and seeking enlightenment, traversing the mundane world with serene hearts, unaffected by the onslaught of despair and catastrophe.
As for the mortals, they remain ignorant, oblivious, and carefree.
In secret, the Heavenly Court has initiated the screening of candidates across the vast lands, selecting those cultivators who meet the criteria to seek refuge in the enigmatic world.
This tremendous workload keeps Gu Yan and the divine immortals of the Heavenly Court tirelessly occupied.
As for Lu Heng, he has long been absent but now returns to the realm of the netherworld, bearing the Requiem Seal, and reunites with You Yue and others.
The netherworld is the most peculiar and mystical place within the realm of the Celestial Desolation Realm.
Here, perhaps, is another refuge apart from the enigmatic world. However, the netherworld is suffused with a stifling gloom, making it a more perilous place for the living than even the enigmatic world.
Apart from Lu Heng, who possesses the Requiem Seal and can physically enter, ordinary cultivators can only reach this place in spirit form.
It is destined that the netherworld can only accommodate the deceased, and the living are unable to enter.
However, even so, the ghosts that permeate the vast desolate wilderness are still a formidable force that cannot be ignored by the Celestial Desolation Realm.
After all, the souls of the deceased in the Celestial Desolation Realm all reside here, and among them are not lacking some formidable cultivators who possessed remarkable strength and resilient spirits during their lifetimes.
If the horn of counterattack is sounded in the future, this netherworld will undoubtedly be an important military force that cannot be ignored.
And upon Lu Heng's return, You Yue and the others were immensely thrilled.
It has been over four thousand years since the enigmatic disappearance of Lu Heng.
During these over four thousand years, the Netherworld Reincarnation system planned by Lu Heng has already been successfully established by You Yue and other ghost cultivators. City God temples have been built in various countries around the world, and passages that can access the netherworld have been established in different regions and nations.
Wuyou and Wuyu siblings, have even transformed themselves into omnipresent entities throughout the world, touring the four corners of the earth through these City God temples, and virtually mastering every movement within the Celestial Desolation Realm.
The current netherworld world, compared to the desolation and bleakness when Lu Heng departed, is now vastly different.
Within the eerie atmosphere filled with a deathly stillness, majestic palaces and grand halls stretch endlessly. netherworld messengers and malevolent spirits chase and gallop through the desolate wilderness, while numerous hells, created to punish wicked ghosts, make the living tremble and the deceased wail in agony.
Amidst the endless wailing of countless malevolent spirits, the profound aura of death in the netherworld has grown exponentially stronger compared to previous years.
To the extent that even Lu Heng, endowed with the protective power of the Requiem Seal, felt a certain inability to withstand the impact of this formidable aura of death upon his initial entry.
How many wicked ghosts are imprisoned in this netherworld
Lu Heng remained speechless for a while.
Unfortunately, Xiao Ai was not by his side this time
However, just a few days after Lu Heng voiced such emotions, he heard the thunderous sound of war drums echoing amidst the wind and rain at the inn.
The sound of those war drums sounded so peculiar, yet so familiar.
The enormous white wolf lifted its head in astonishment, and amidst the wind and rain outside the door, a figure on horseback emerged, bravely braving the downpour. The rider had a sword in hand, white hair flowing, and a handsome countenance.
It was none other than Huo Feng, standing in all his glory.
As Huo Feng's Bo horse caught sight of the enormous white wolf crouching in the inn, it was taken aback and exclaimed, "The Wolf God?!"
The Bo horse was dumbstruck, not expecting to see Lu Heng here.
On the back of the Bo horse, Huo Feng, with his white hair, still exuding an undiminished elegance, looked at the enormous white wolf inside the inn with astonishment. The two locked eyes in a moment of mutual bewilderment.
"That," Huo Feng scratched his head and said, "Have I traveled through time and space?"
The scene before his eyes gave Huo Feng an overwhelming sense of dj vu.
On that rainy night over four thousand years ago, he rode on a white horse, traversing through the pitch-black night and raging storm. In his prime, he encountered the enormous white wolf crouched by the bonfire in the inn.
If it weren't for the presence of a small girl with silver-haired beast ears accompanying the white wolf, Huo Feng would almost believe that he had returned to the past.
Inside the inn, the enormous white wolf couldn't help but burst into laughter upon seeing the expression on Huo Feng's face.
He said, "Brother Huo, I hope all is well with you."
Huo Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "I never expected to encounter the Wolf God in this place Truly, it is a fateful encounter."
Speaking thus, he promptly dismounted, taking hold of this exceptionally majestic Bo horse, and entered the inn.
After a conversation, Lu Heng came to understand that Huo Feng, too, was bidding farewell to this world in his own way, through reminiscing about the past.
Because everyone was aware that once they departed from the Celestial Desolation Realm and ventured into the enigmatic dimension, the world before their eyes upon their eventual return would cease to be their own.
Huo Feng, desiring to make further progress in the way of the sword, knew that he must achieve a breakthrough in his state of mind.
And for him, the greatest turning point in life was undoubtedly the period of time in his youth when he encountered and journeyed alongside the Wolf God.
Therefore, before departing, he, just like in the past, donned the ordinary attire of a disciple of the Yun sect, and rode the Bo horse with the intention of retracing the path of those bygone days. However, little did he anticipate the remarkable coincidence of encountering the Wolf God, who harbored the same intentions, within the inn.
To think that both the man and the wolf would cross paths once again in such a manner, within the desolate inn, truly brought forth laughter and tears, stirring up a myriad of emotions.
Four thousand years ago, time appeared both distant and fleeting, wouldn't you agree?
The scenes that unfolded within the inn back in those years, it seems as if they are still vivid before my eyes.
