Chapter 1852: The Fall
Chapter 1852: The Fall
In Yunhuang, there was thick fog. A god cleared the way and built a golden bridge in the sky.
Ever since the Underworld conquered Yunhuang and uprooted the Dark Sun Cult more than a hundred years ago, the power of the Underworld has begun to pour into Yunhuang and take over every aspect of Yunhuang. Unlike the Northern Wilderness occupied by the Demon Sect, after the Dark Sun Cult and the Three Immortal Islands were successively destroyed, there was nothing in Yunhuang that could hinder the power of the Underworld.
Of course, for now, the main energy of the Underworld is still mainly focused on the acquired gods, and it has not squeezed the living space of the Yunhuang cultivators. Many cultivators have even benefited from it, because after the destruction, it is construction. The Underworld has canonized many mountain and water gods in Yunhuang over the years. Although these god positions are mainly divided up by Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism and other forces, as local snakes, the Yunhuang cultivators still have the opportunity to share some benefits as long as they can seize the opportunity.
You should know that nominally all mountain and water gods are under the jurisdiction of the underworld. As long as you become a god, you have entered the system of the underworld, which is a great benefit in itself. After all, with the start of the war to exterminate gods, the name of the underworld has resounded throughout the ten heavens and ten earths. It is the top force in the Taixuan Realm, not to mention Longhu Mountain, which is almost integrated with the underworld.
However, in this process, the expansion of the underworld was not smooth. It was not that there were any people or forces that obstructed it, but that gods were frequently bewitched by the incense, abandoned the orthodoxy of Shinto, became possessed, and became evil gods.
Penglai Island, originally one of the three immortal islands, has now become an important node of the underworld in Yunhuang, and a ghost gate stands quietly here.
At a certain moment, a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky, and a blazing divine fire burned the mountains and the sea.
Feeling something in his heart, Sang Qi, who was in charge of guarding the Ghost Gate, quietly opened his eyes.
"Another god has fallen, and this time it's actually a true god."
The Dharma Eye illuminated and saw through everything, and Sang Qi frowned slightly.
Since the underworld entered Yunhuang on a large scale, the fall of gods has occurred from time to time, but the frequency was very low at the beginning, and those who fell were all second-rate gods, so it did not attract the attention of the underworld. As time passed, the ranks of the fallen gods became higher and higher, and their numbers increased, especially the group of new gods who had just been canonized. Now even the true gods have begun to be shaken.
You must know that even in the underworld, the true God is the absolute backbone, capable of suppressing an area. He is an important force in the underworld and will not be easily destroyed.
It was from this time that all the strange phenomena disappeared. Not long after, Huangquan appeared in the sky and Bai Zhining quietly descended, holding a ball of red divine fire in her hand. It was a mixture of tyranny and holiness, which was left by the fallen true god just now.
"How's it going?"
Looking at Bai Zhining, his eyes swept across the divine fire, and Sang Qi asked a question.
Hearing this, Bai Zhining looked solemn and shook her head.
The fall of gods has become more and more frequent in recent years, so the underworld has naturally started investigating, trying to find out the cause, but no matter how they investigated, they found nothing wrong. Everything showed that these fallen gods either had insufficient character or were too greedy for quick success and were reckless. It was purely their own problem, and there was no interference from any external force.
And this is actually the biggest problem. You must know that although Longhu Mountain does not have a treasure like the Map of the Immortals' Positions, the Longhu Mountain's Deity-conferring Talisman contains a wisp of Samadhi True Fire, which can effectively protect the minds of the gods and prevent them from being eroded by the thoughts of incense and fire.
Although such protection has its limits, it can at least allow the gods to survive the dangerous period of rebirth. There may be some who are truly unbearable, but it will never be on such a large scale.
Seeing Bai Zhining's performance, Sang Qi frowned even more.
"It seems that Yunhuang itself does have a big problem. No wonder this place is a paradise for independent cultivators and has never produced a truly powerful force. Even the Three Immortal Islands have a weak heritage."
Speaking in a low voice, Sang Qi once again confirmed his guess.
Hearing this, Bai Zhining fell silent. After ruling out all possibilities, it seemed that this was the only answer left, although this answer was a bit ridiculous.
Before taking over Yunhuang, the Underworld naturally conducted a detailed investigation of the situation in Yunhuang, especially some of the mysterious things in Yunhuang. However, the Underworld did not find anything wrong from beginning to end. Apart from the slightly special geographical environment of Yunhuang, which is a vast sea of clouds and fog all year round, there is no fundamental difference between Yunhuang and other places.
But even so, before officially taking over Yunhuang, the Underworld still made many preparations. Not only did it use heavenly artifacts to suppress the four directions, it also went to Longhu Mountain and asked Emperor Fude for a decree to suppress the luck and prevent the Underworld from being invisibly eroded at the luck level. But in the end, bad things still happened.
"It seems that our previous arrangements have played a certain role. Otherwise, according to the records of Yunhuang before, the backlash we have to endure will be even greater, and we will not be fighting as small as we are now."
"But we really need to find a way to resolve this matter as soon as possible. If we continue to delay, the situation will become increasingly uncontrollable. The unknown power hidden in this Cloud Wasteland is probably much higher in rank than we expected before, and it is possible that it involves the immortal level."
Her voice was hoarse, and after a moment of silence, Bai Zhining expressed her guess.
Hearing this, Sang Qi raised his brows slightly. Although he still felt it was a bit absurd, he had to admit that the most likely possibility for being able to ignore all the arrangements of the underworld was the power of immortality, except for some extremely strange magical powers.
It’s just that every immortal in the Taixuan Realm has a background, especially in the past years. Only one immortal appears in an era, and there is one person for each job. It is not right for an immortal to appear out of nowhere in Yunhuang.
"In this case, that Yunmiao Tianzun is very suspicious. After all, according to records, all the changes in Yunhuang were caused by him. It was because of his preaching here that the pattern of Yunhuang was established, and Yunhuang was transformed into a holy land for casual cultivators."
Looking at the sky and the earth, Sang Qi wanted to see something clearly, but he found nothing.
Immortal Venerable Yun Miao was mainly active in the Fifth Era, which is a very long time ago. In addition, he was a solitary person, so there are very few records about him in the Taixuan Realm. Apart from preaching in Yunhuang, he seemed to have not done anything earth-shattering in his life. He was born, grew up, and disappeared without any disturbance, and did not leave any distinct traces in the long river of history. The most famous title he has is the ancestor of casual cultivators, which is a respectful title given to him by later generations.
Such celestial beings are very rare in the entire Taixuan Realm. After all, the essence of spiritual practice is to go against the will of heaven, and one will inevitably encounter numerous disasters that cannot be avoided just because you want to. It can be said that every celestial being is a living legend. On the contrary, Yun Miao Tianzun is an outlier, and there are too few traces of him left in the world.
"Yun Miao may not be dead yet. I need to go back to the underworld."
The voice was low, and Bai Zhining had made a decision in her heart.
Hearing this, knowing what she wanted to do, Sang Qi nodded.
