Chapter 130 Doubts and Conditions

Lou He was silent for a moment, as if he was weighing his inner thoughts, and Li Wuxiang waited quietly.

After a while, Lou He let out a sigh, "Okay, I can tell you, it's the Netherworld Scroll."

Li Wuxiang immediately thought of Xu Daosheng. Before he killed Xu Daosheng on the mountain road of Ranshan that day, he said that the "traitorous swordsman" mentioned that there was something in the Ranshan secret realm that could lead to the Nether Nine Abyss, and that the swordsman knew about it in the Sword Sect's Netherworld Scroll -

"Brother Lou, the Netherworld Scroll is in the Sword Sect, right?"

"One volume is in the Sword Sect. Don't ask me how I know this, but the only people in the world who know about this, apart from Sect Leader Jiang, Plum Sword, and the seven Sect Leaders of the Seven Mysterious Sects, are no more than five."

"After the seven great emperors suppressed Taiyi, the Netherworld Scroll was divided into eight volumes. It wasn't really 'divided', but everyone knew it was an extraordinary treasure, so after fighting for it, it was divided into these eight parts. One part was kept by Taiyi Dao, and the other seven are in the seven Xuan sects."

"So the so-called Taiyi Enlightenment is actually a method? Have you read the Sword Sect's Netherworld Volume?"

"I've seen it once." Lou He narrowed his eyes, as if recalling something. "Mei Zhangjian took me to see it once, but I only saw it from a distance. That thing, haha, I told you that you might be disappointed."

"It looks like a very thick book with a part of the front torn off. It has 291 pages in total, and many of them are incomplete. I have also read one page of what was written on it. At least it doesn't look like any martial arts, but just a record of the geography, customs and people of various places. There is nothing unusual in the page I read. It all describes things happening near the old capital of the Ye Dynasty."

"Could it be that I need a Dao Jue to understand it?"

Lou He shook his head: "That's impossible. Those who know about this thing have guessed that there might be a technique inside. If it is really a technique, it means that it is a technique that can make people achieve the Golden Immortal without the help of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth - this is something that even the emperor would want to practice. Think about it, for three thousand years, the smartest people in the world have been studying this thing. Even if it requires some Dao formula, they would have understood it long ago."

"The Record of the Underworld, is it very big?"

"Ok?"

"The size...I mean, is it very big?"

Lou He looked at him and smiled: "Half a man's height. You are right. The missing parts on those damaged pages may be a piece of paper with no words on it."

Li Wuxiang's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"Don't be nervous. This kind of thing is not uncommon. I don't know what the battle between the True Immortal and the Golden Immortal was like, but there are many things like the Ranshan Illusion in your hand in this world. They should have been scattered at that time. People of lower levels don't know about this kind of thing, but it is no secret among the top people in this world."

"However, Ranshan's talisman technique is indeed magical, otherwise I would not have chosen Zhao Kui."

Li Wuxiang thought for a moment and said, "Then the Sword Sect's Netherworld Scroll can also..."

"Yes. That's why Youjiuyuan is hard to find. Because it is not in this world. But it is also different from the things in your hand. You will understand it when you go to Youjiuyuan later."

"But I heard that You Jiu Yuan was found before, and it was destroyed several times."

Lou He laughed again: "So, don't think you can rest easy in your secret realm. The Sword Sect has the fragments of the Netherworld Scroll, and the Six Mysterious Sects also have them. The Sword Sect moved their sect into the Netherworld because the swordsmen always need a place to stay, but if they were in the world of the living, the Six Mysterious Sects would have too many ways to find them - don't forget, although the Netherworld Dao no longer cares about worldly affairs, it was also involved in suppressing Taiyi in the beginning."

"If you have mastered the skills of the Netherworld Dao, you will become a ghost messenger in the world of the living. Wherever there are dead people, they can go there, making it even harder for them to hide. So you can understand that You Jiuyuan is hiding in the Netherworld Scroll, but since this fragment is incomplete, it has some connection with the other seven scrolls. It's more troublesome than looking for it in the world of the living, but there are still some clues."

"Over the years, Master Jiang said that he had found a way to ensure that he would be worry-free. I don't know if it's true or not. But those scattered around the world are not as safe as You Jiuyuan."

Li Wuxiang nodded slightly, but he felt that there was something wrong with Lou He's statement.

It was because of that sentence "However, Ranshan's magic is indeed magical." He now knows that the magic of Ranshan's magic is actually entirely due to the scrap of paper in Ranshan's illusion - the bamboo paper was offered in front of the Taiyi statue in the illusion, and gradually it had a magical effect.

But Lou He didn't seem to know this. According to what he said, he must have seen many fragments of the Netherworld Scroll, which means that the one in his hand is different from those he has seen.

Moreover, this one has handwriting left by Ranshan Patriarch, Yuliejun Li Jiaotu, and the later True Immortal Kitchen God. If it was scattered to the human world during the great war between immortals, wouldn't those words be there?

"So, Senior Brother Lou, you... want to collect the other seven?"

"Hahaha, if I can collect the other seven copies, what's the point of cultivating to be a True Immortal? Then I'll already be a True Immortal." Lou He smiled and shook his head, "No, as long as I can get one more copy, it will be fine. I don't even have to get it, as long as I can get into the fragment of the True Form Sect and take a look."

At this point, his smile faded and he lowered his voice: "I won't tell you in detail. I can only tell you that I think through the Sword Sect and the True Form Sect's Netherworld Scroll, I can find something in Lingshan. If I find this thing, I think I can cultivate to become a True Immortal, but now, only the Sword Sect's scroll is not enough - this is the method I mentioned, I am 70% sure."

He looked at Li Wuxiang: "Counting you and me, there are probably only four people in this world who know what I said. Li Wuxiang, what do you think now?"

Li Wuxiang tapped his knees with his fingers: "Brother Lou, Zeng Jianqiu may have told you that my origins are very mysterious. Since you told me this, I will also tell you the truth - I am not from this world."

Lou He was stunned, and Li Wuxiang stared at him carefully for a moment before continuing, "I'm not from this world. My ancestors lived in seclusion to avoid disaster at the end of the Ye Dynasty. There is a small cave called Peach Blossom Spring. My people have been recuperating in Peach Blossom Spring, and gradually, many of our customs and habits have become different from those in this world."

"A few years ago, something happened in Peach Blossom Spring. I was the only one who escaped, and the place was destroyed. Then I met Zhao Kui, and he made me into what I am now. I say this because when my tribe members get along with each other, it is actually a bit like the imperial court when the Ye Dynasty was still in existence, with clear classes and each tribe member performing his own duties."

"Sometimes, we, the younger generation who work at the bottom, think that the people in charge of the tribe are stupid. Something can be done very well, but they choose to use another method that is time-consuming, laborious, and even short-sighted. Sometimes we get together and talk about what I would do if I were the tribe leader."

"But then I gradually realized that people in different positions would have different views on the same thing. We think these things are stupid because we don't see enough. If we were in that position to make the decision, we might also ask for things to be done that way."

"I'm not saying that Master Jiang's approach and views are better than yours, but I'm not sure whether you, Senior Brother Lou, have missed something." Lou He frowned and was about to speak, but Li Wuxiang raised his hand to interrupt him, "But since you, Senior Brother Lou, said you are 70% sure and you really want me to leave the Coffin City, I will believe you. You said that Mei Zhangjian probably knows what you are thinking, but she doesn't know what you will do. I guess she also thinks that your method is feasible."

"However, there is another question." Li Wuxiang flipped his hand and let the small sword lie in his palm. "This sword belongs to Senior Brother Zeng. The Sword Sect calls each other brothers, but he should be considered my master, and you should be considered my great master."

"When I was in Jinshui, I wanted him to teach me the sword sect's methods, but he told me that I had evil intentions and he wouldn't teach me. You should know his character - when we were dealing with Zhao Qi together, he said that for the sake of the people of Jinshui, he wanted me to be bait and lurk around Zhao Qi." "So I said to him, isn't your behavior also evil? He said to me confidently, yes, I have evil intentions too! But my master was wrong! I know myself, but not you!"

"Look, in our lineage, the Grandmaster, Master, and Disciple all have very similar styles of doing things. Zeng Jianqiu thought it was okay for me to take a risk for the sake of the people of Jinshui. Senior Brother Lou, do you think it's okay to sacrifice Zeng Jianqiu, Pan Muyun, and Helian Ji for the sake of the people of the world?"

"So what did I do before dealing with Zhao Kui? I subdued him. I thought, since a person feels that sacrifice is understandable in order to save the people of a town, then you should make this sacrifice yourself - therefore, Senior Brother Zeng's youth and life span were exhausted. If it was me at that time, I might have died."

"Brother Lou, you have wasted your cultivation twice and you are so cruel to yourself. I know your courage and determination. But I have a question and a condition."

"The question is what Senior Brother Zeng said - he knows himself, but not me. But I am not as good as Senior Brother Zeng. I don't know myself. I have done many similar things to Senior Brother Zeng and you in the past, and I know that once this kind of thing starts, people will change. When I was a child, I would cry when I saw cats and dogs being killed, but now I kill people without blinking an eye. Senior Brother Lou, you think it doesn't matter if you sacrifice three fellow disciples today, but will you think it's okay to sacrifice the entire Sword Sect tomorrow? Not to mention me."

Li Wuxiang stood up: "But now, you can still convince me. Let's talk about my conditions - rescue Zeng Jianqiu, Pan Muyun, and Helian Ji. If you can do it, I will accompany you to do this big thing."

Lou He shook his head: "I don't know how the people in your Peach Blossom Spring practice, and who are the powerful people. But if you don't know what the True Form Sect's soul refining means, I'll tell you what it means. The Sword Sect's golden elixir is to cultivate oneself, while the True Form Sect's soul refining has gone beyond the step of cultivating oneself, and is cultivating the karma between oneself and the Five Mountains True Form Great Emperor."

"To put it more clearly, when Wu Meng started to attack, it was the Five Mountains Spirits that were in his body. At this point, there is actually no essential difference between him and the higher levels of Return to Emptiness and Combination of Dao. It's just that the depth of the affinity between him and the Five Mountains Spirits is different. This is still in the Coffin City, and you are a Qi Refiner. I can't save them, and neither can you. I'm taking you to find him, just to let you die. Listen to me, leave the Coffin City to find Plum Palm Sword, and Pan and Helian will die a worthy death."

Li Wuxiang smiled and said, "After you betrayed the True Form Sect, you were able to think of a lot of ways to regain Wu Meng's forgiveness, but now you have no idea how to rescue three people?"

Lou He sighed: "Do you really have to go?"

"Yeah. I need your help."

Lou He was silent for a while, then frowned. "Junior Brother Li, alas, there are very few things worth doing in life. Not to mention those muddleheaded people in the Thirty-Six Sects who just want to live longer, they are no different from animals. Even the practitioners of the Six Sects of Mysterious Religions only want to ascend to the Wonderful Realm. Why? Because 'others do this, so I have to do this too.'"

"You are not a vulgar person. I can see that you do things because you know what you want to do and what you should do. But no matter what, you will eventually return to what I am doing now. Why should you regret it later?"

"Brother Lou, you are right. So, please do me this favor."

"Okay." Lou He also stood up and shook his body. "I told you so much in vain, and I thought you would understand my painstaking efforts. If you must die, then die in my hands."

As soon as he finished speaking, the flying sword in Li Wuxiang's hand was released!

Lou He used to be the leader of the younger generation of the True Form Sect, so Li Wuxiang certainly didn't think that he could be manipulated just because he had wasted his cultivation. The two of them were only three steps apart, and his sword was aimed at Lou He's eyes - if he could kill him with one sword, he would go find Wu Meng wearing his skin!
But at such a distance, such a sword missed!
The blood light hit Lou He's left eye, but at that moment Lou He's eyes turned into black holes. The flying sword penetrated into the hole, hit the back of his head, and was nailed to the wall panel with a snap.

Without time to think, Li Wuxiang immediately turned his hand, and the sword line cut Lou He's head in half horizontally. However, Lou He jumped back with that half of his head hanging, raised his hand and touched the tentacle that Li Wuxiang used as the sword line -

With just this touch, the tentacles immediately disappeared without a trace, and the small sword fell to the ground with a clang before it could be retracted.

At this time, Lou He raised his hand to support his head back - Li Wuxiang saw it clearly.

He is just a piece of skin, and his inside is empty just like mine!
"Hiro Cicada!?"

“That’s right, Guang Chanzi.” The wound on Lou He’s head disappeared in the blink of an eye, but his eyes were still two pairs of black holes. When he spoke, his mouth opened very wide, as if his chin was falling off and his entire skin was melting… No, his skin became lighter, like a piece of gauze, floating out of heavy clothes, and his voice when he spoke was like the whistle of the wind—

"I see that you are now at the level of Jie Jiu Gong. It is rare to reach this level in such a short time. Then let me show you what this technique is like when you reach Pi Jin Xia!"

His entire skin instantly shrank into a ball in the air, turning into a small ball the size of a soybean. The next moment, the small ball suddenly expanded and turned into countless silk threads, which were thrown towards Li Wuxiang like fireworks.

Li Wuxiang's body immediately deflated and he slipped out of his clothes. His tentacles hooked onto the flying sword along the floor, and the sword light swung in the air again, trying to cut off the silk threads thrown towards him.

But this sword seemed to have been slashed into the void, hitting nothing - he knew that in order to fight against this kind of magical power that he was not familiar with, he had to first figure out his opponent's methods, so he immediately sprouted countless white beards from his body to meet the silk thread thrown towards him.

His tentacles were far more sensitive than the skin outside his body. When he controlled them, it was as if he had grown countless small hands, flexible and agile. However, they were still far inferior to the silk threads transformed from Lou He's skin - there were too many of them!

Perhaps it only hit half of it, or even less - as soon as the tentacles touched those things, the entangled parts immediately disappeared, just like the sword lines before!

If he was swallowed or cut off, he should be able to feel a slight pain. But now he felt nothing, as if those tentacles were gone in the first place!
Guang Chan Zi says that if one reaches the realm of wearing golden clouds and becomes a Qing Nang Xian, one can walk on the wind and transform into a myriad of forms. Is it really that weird?!

He immediately extended his flying sword and spun it on the wall not far away, and immediately a big hole was made. But at this time, the silk thread had already fallen, and Li Wuxiang only felt a slight chill piercing his consciousness. He knew without looking that his skin had also been gouged out by Lou He, leaving small holes one after another, revealing the golden entanglement.

Even the tentacle that he used to catch the flying sword was taken away by Lou He again. The small sword fell against the wall and was immediately tied up by several silk threads. A sword light came towards him!

Li Wuxiang immediately crawled out of the hole in the wall, even though the sword light left a long cut on his body.

As soon as he escaped outside, he crushed the two pieces of the tablet that remained in his body into slag. The silk thread of Lou He's incarnation sprayed out from the hole in the wall, like a white flower blooming in the night. Li Wuxiang sprayed the tablet slag at the white flower.

There was a loud bang in the air, and the human skin flower suddenly collapsed. It must have been hit directly in the soul.

effective!
Li Wuxiang immediately launched the second attack!

Before the exhausted human skin flower had time to shrink back into the house, the second wave of dense fragments hit it again, but this time, the silk threads suddenly expanded, and the things he sent out seemed to pass through the void again, and embedded in the wall like a rainstorm, without touching a single bit!
Li Wuxiang only saw a flash of white light before his eyes, and the silk thread flew towards him. He wanted to move aside immediately, but his body stiffened, as if he had become a living person, and many bone spurs suddenly grew in the joints of this living person, blocking his arms, legs and feet.

It’s the ones before!
Just now, when he was trying to get out of the hole in the wall, Lou He pierced countless small holes in his skin, and it seemed that some silk threads had passed through the fine net of the golden coil and remained in his body. At this moment, those silk threads suddenly came alive and were drilling under his skin, as if they wanted to peel the golden coil out alive!

In the past, he was the only one who treated others like this, but now, he knew how frightened and painful those people would be at that time!
All the white silk shot onto his body, and Li Wuxiang immediately felt a piercing chill and excruciating pain like cramps and skin peeling. He could see countless lumps on his skin, as if they were full of maggots, wriggling wildly!

That's now!
