Chapter 713: Gate of Hell

Chapter 713: Gate of Hell

In the Imperial City, at the top of the Heavenly Tower of the Great Literature Academy, the National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower stood by the railing, looking south with his hands clasped behind his back.

Suddenly he felt something and muttered to himself, “It has descended.”

At that moment, a figure appeared out of nowhere – it was the Divine Guardian!

“That thing earlier hid in the ordinary people and entered the Imperial City, you didn’t let me act, so it was all for today.”

“The unknown enemy is the most terrifying. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you find a way to survive,” the National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower said calmly.

“Even though you calculated everything in advance, you still didn’t stop it. You deliberately allowed that monster to descend upon the world so that you could find a way to deal with it.”

“But letting that boy enter the Netherworld Realm to search for the legendary Farshore Flower, isn’t that a bit too capricious?”

The Divine Guardian’s tone was somewhat serious. During the battle at Zhenglin Pass, even though he had given Qin Jian’an a piece of divinity in advance, he still couldn’t protect his life.

Because of this, he did not want his apprentice’s children to suffer any more life-or-death crisis.

After a pause, he continued, “The Netherworld Realm is permeated with Ghostly Qi and Ghosts. If a living soul enters it, it will immediately lose its sense of direction.”

“And the legendary Farshore Flower is said to be on the other side of the Yellow Spring River, how can he find it if he cannot even tell the direction?”

He shook his head, “I really cannot understand it, when did you old man start playing such a confusing game?”

“That’s why even though I could have guided Shen Li or Sun Qi to enter the Netherworld Spirit Realm, I didn’t.”

“Finding the Farshore Flower requires someone to guide the way, but Shen Li and Sun Qi don’t have that ability.”

“Are you saying that Qin Feng... Could it be Li Yang?” the Divine Guardian Warrior guessed.

The Heavenly Tower National Teacher shook his head, “The Netherworld Realm is too vast, how could Qin Feng just happen to run into that person? I’m referring to someone else.”

The Divine Guardian pondered over these words, and his expression changed slightly, “Old man, could it be that my disciple’s death was also part of your calculations?!”

His voice suddenly fell, and the entire Heavenly Tower seemed to be on the verge of collapsing!

The National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower sighed, “Fate is never predetermined. Just as every path has its forks.”

“All I can do is confirm the starting point and then go to the end.”

Upon hearing this, the Divine Guardian reined in his aura and began to understand the other’s words.

Qin Jian’an’s death was not in the old man’s calculations, he had merely confirmed the direction based on the already established facts.

Until the previous Ghost Emperor appeared and engaged that person in a fierce battle.

It was an earth-shattering battle that leveled the land for hundreds of miles in the southern domain of the Netherworld Realm!

In the end, the one without the divine art of ‘Plucking Stars and Seizing Life’ still managed to brutally beat the previous Ghost Emperor to death and take his place!

After that, the new Ghost Emperor established many new rules, one of which was to forbid the indiscriminate consumption of wandering souls...

But because of this, the military power of the Southern Domain grew steadily, and the Ghost Legions far surpassed the other regions, almost catching up with the resurrected Ghost Lord.

Just as the horse-faced guard was reminiscing, a vortex suddenly appeared in the sky above.

A long, drawn-out scream came out, and a figure appeared in front of the ox-headed and horse-faced guards’ eyes.

Boom!

The bone path trembled as Qin Feng stood up and quickly checked his body – to his surprise, after falling from such a height, he was completely unharmed?

Looking around, the world seemed to be shrouded in a yellow mist, and even at a short distance it was difficult to see clearly.

And the yellow mist started to surge crazily the moment he landed, and then gathered towards him.

Qin Feng was surprised to find that the surface of his body seemed to slightly dissolve, as if he was about to be consumed by this yellow mist!

The saying that a living soul could not easily enter the Netherworld Realm was not just idle talk!

Just as he was panicking and inwardly cursing his master and the two elder brothers, the illusory form of Xuan Yi appeared.

The Divine Sea of the Literature Saint Dao Lineage was connected to his soul, so when Qin Feng’s soul descended into the Netherworld Realm, the Divine Sea naturally accompanied him.

Xuan Yi looked at the surrounding world and said, “So this is the Netherworld Realm.”

Qin Feng was almost in tears, he really did not want to die in such an obscure manner!

“Senior, my body seems to be erased by the laws of this land, please save me quickly!”

Xuan Yi turned around and saw that Qin Feng’s body was indeed constantly dissipating.

He looked at the flickering flames on Qin Feng’s head, then at the swirling yellow mist, and said thoughtfully, “The flickering flames are protecting your soul, don’t let them be extinguished.”

“And the reason why this yellow mist is surging towards you is most likely because you lack the aura of death around you...”

“In that case, the solution is simple – use the Yin-Yang principles of the Candle Dragon to protect the flames on your head with the power of life, and then use the power of death to envelop your soul, and that should be able to resolve the crisis”.
