I Have Countless Legendary Swords! - Chapter 598
Chapter 598: Chapter 598 – Yellow Springs Pillar
Zhou Xuanji and the others returned to the Netherworld. They did not directly leave the Netherworld because Lady Zhaoxuan was just a soul. If she rashly left, her soul would dissipate.
“Her soul is not simple; there seems to be some kind of power entangling it. Even if we place it in a treasure, she will not be able to leave the Netherworld,” Ren Niming said as he stroked his chin.
He was very curious about Lady Zhaoxuan and felt that Ninth Nether Buddha was hiding something.
Lady Zhaoxuan’s face was pale as she tightly grabbed Zhou Xuanji’s hand and said, “Son, don’t worry about me; you should quickly leave.”
Even though Zhou Xuanji was very powerful, the Eyes of Reincarnation were too terrifying. Adding on what Ren Niming had said about them, she did not want to be a hindrance to Zhou Xuanji.
Zhou Xuanji shook his head and said, “Since we’ve come, we’ll find a way to leave together. Don’t you want to see your granddaughter?”
Lady Zhaoxuan hesitated. She indeed wanted to leave, but she did not want to be a burden to Zhou Xuanji.
Zhou Xuanji looked at Ren Niming and said, “You still haven’t thought of anything?”
He did not treat him with greater respect because of his identity.
The two of them were working together, and currently, apart from helping him find Lady Zhaoxuan, Ren Niming had not provided him with any substantial help.
Ren Niming frowned and said, “Since it’s like this, let’s investigate the secrets of the Netherworld.”
Qiu Hu asked in curiosity, “What secrets? Could it be that destiny is controlling the Netherworld?”
Xuan Daoya closed his eyes and began to pinch his fingers and divine.
“Puchi—” He suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed on the ground.
Ren Niming looked down at him and said, “You think destiny and reincarnation are things you can divine?”
Si Mengyan asked, “Could it be that there is a Heavenly Saint backing Ninth Nether Buddha? From the strength he exhibited, he is not a match for Zhou Xuanji at all, but he remained just as furious. This means that he does not feel any fear; this does not make sense.”
Ren Niming nodded and said, “Looks like we’ll have to go to that place.”
His gaze became somewhat deep.
“Where are we going?” Qiu Hu asked in curiosity.
With Zhou Xuanji here, he was not afraid of any danger.
He felt that Zhou Xuanji already had the strength to contend with Heavenly Saints.
“Come with me.” Ren Niming turned and flew in a direction, and everyone else followed behind him.
On the way, Lady Zhaoxuan asked Zhou Xuanji about his life.
Zhou Xuanji did not hide anything, and the two of them began to talk.
After hearing that the Great Zhou’s Empress had died at Zhou Xuanji’s hands, Lady Zhaoxuan felt incredibly delighted and laughed out loud.
However, hearing that Zhou Xuanji had killed Zhou Yalong when Emperor Yan of Zhou had ascended, causing Emperor Yan of Zhou to lose all face, her expression became complicated.
She could blame many people, but she was unable to blame Emperor Yan of Zhou.
When Emperor Yan of Zhou had been at the palace, he had greatly doted on her.
For her, Emperor Yan of Zhou could even endure the Empress being killed by Zhou Xuanji.
She gloomily sighed.
Zhou Xuanji pretended that he did not hear this and continued talking.
Xuan Daoya, Qiu Hu, and Si Mengyan were also listening; they also wanted to know how Zhou Xuanji had grown up.
Following this, Zhou Xuanji began to sweep across the Northern Wilderness and challenge the Heavenly Palace.
He had escaped from death time and time again, and he had saved all living creatures many times before coming to the Wanshen Great Thousand.
The more they listened, the more in awe they felt.
Zhou Xuanji had walked quite a difficult path.
It could be said that from the start, he had continuously faced oppression.
Now, even destiny was trying to banish him; what a joke.
Six hours later, they came to a cliff. There was dense fog ahead, and the lighting was quite dim.
In the surrounding 100 kilometers, there was not a single ghost or soul.
“Where is this place?” Si Mengyan asked out of curiosity. He had come to the Netherworld before, but it was very big and he was unable to go to many places.
Ren Niming replied, “This is the origin of the Yellow Springs. New souls are born here, and they flow from here to the six paths of reincarnation.”
Not everyone had a past life; some souls had just been born too.
After all, souls could dissipate, so if new souls were not created, the worlds would soon become depopulated.
“Why are we here?” Qiu Hu asked. He walked to the cliff and looked down, but he could not see the bottom.
Ren Niming looked around and said, “Any soul can be purified here. However, we need to be careful; Ninth Nether Buddha might already be nearby.”
Zhou Xuanji waived his right hand, and the four demon gods flew out, guarding each direction.
“What will happen if a soul is purified?” Lady Zhaoxuan asked; she felt that everything had both a benefit and a cost.
Ren Niming shrugged and said, “It will be just like reincarnation; they will forget all past lives and become a new person.”
Hearing this, Lady Zhaoxuan frowned.
It had been so difficult for her to finally meet her son, and now she was just going to reincarnate?
Zhou Xuanji did not say anything; he did not want to influence Lady Zhaoxuan’s decision.
“Eh? Something seems to be happening to the Yellow Springs!” Qiu Hu suddenly cried out, causing Xuan Daoya and Si Mengyan to go over and take a look.
Ren Niming walked to the cliff and looked over as he muttered, “Destiny has begun to interfere.”
Hearing this, everyone felt a bad feeling.
Destiny was incredibly vague and ethereal; before, none of them believed in it.
However, after hearing from Ren Niming that destiny had consciousness, how could they not become afraid?
Boom!!
The Yellow Springs suddenly blasted apart as a massive object rose up.
Everyone looked over and saw a stone pillar rise up. It was over 300 meters wide and had all kinds of characters engraved on it. There were also many talisman papers attached to it, which fluttered in the wind, creating rustling sounds.
“What is this?” Qiu Hu looked at the stone pillar as he asked in confusion.
Ren Niming’s expression was complicated as he said, “Yellow Springs Pillar; this could be a trap.”
He looked at Zhou Xuanji and continued to say, “The Yellow Springs Pillar is the greatest opportunity in the Netherworld, and it might not appear in even millions of years. Do you think it appeared because of you?”
Zhou Xuanji understood his intentions; destiny was tempting him.
“Yellow Springs Pillar… it’s said that if one climbs up the Yellow Springs Pillar, they will obtain Reincarnation Power and surpass life and death. Unless their enemy is a Heavenly Saint, they will become undying and unkillable. What is key is that at the Yellow Springs Pillar, you can resurrect anyone you want,” Xuan Daoya said, a look of fear in his eyes.
This was way too shocking!
Whatever they wanted, it would appear.
Moreover, it was the kind of opportunity that only appeared once in a few million years. Wasn’t this an obvious setup?
The thing was, the temptation was simply too great.
Zhou Xuanji looked at Lady Zhaoxuan and asked, “Are you prepared?”
Lady Zhaoxuan was surprised and asked hesitantly, “Isn’t it a trap?”
“No matter how big the trap is, for you, I have to go. Moreover, wherever I go, there are going to be traps now. We have no other choice,” Zhou Xuanji said. After saying this, he grabbed Lady Zhaoxuan’s wrist and flew up along the Yellow Springs Pillar.
Ren Niming and Qiu Hu followed behind closely.
Si Mengyan pushed Xuan Daoya and flew after them.
“Oi, oi, oi! Are you all crazy?”
Xuan Daoya almost collapsed; they were a group of madmen!
After cursing out, he still obediently followed behind them, afraid of being left behind.
