Chapter 284: Farewell to You

Cannibalism... Cannibalism. This word made Li Wuxiang's heart tighten, but he quickly accepted it the next moment.

They were indeed eating people. He had known from the beginning that inviting these things would shorten his life span, and at that time, he felt that these things were very evil, very much like the "demons" from where he came.

During the Jinshui period, every household worshipped the Kitchen God. After leaving Jinshui, he saw even more households worshipping the Kitchen God. However, all he saw was only "offering" and no "blessing".

The people of Jinshui didn't live very well, and they didn't think that the Kitchen God was blessing them. The people of Deyang looked a little better, but it wasn't because of the Kitchen God's blessing or the abundance of food and clothing, but just "better". There were still many hungry people and beggars on the streets.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that these True Lords and Spirit Gods were not actually gods, but more like some huge, terrifying parasites. They were born because of the wishes and rules of the people in this world, and since then, they have almost always been asking for things and have never given anything!

that--

"Then we... have you been fighting wrongly all these years? That swordsman... is he an accomplice to the evil? The Six Mysterious Sects are suppressing Taiyi, so they knew about it a long time ago? Is this why they turned against Taiyi?"

"I don't know either." Jiang Jie sighed, "The top level of cultivation in Xuanjiao is the Hedao realm, but when you reach the Hedao realm, you can't ascend to the Wonderful Realm immediately, but you have to wait for the call from heaven."

"Over the past three thousand years, there have been thousands of people who have ascended from the six tribes. After reaching the Wonderful Realm, they became the ancestors who protect the law. When we fought against the six tribes, the cultivators of the six tribes all used the method of asking the Great Emperor's true spirit instead of asking the ancestors to protect the law. But these ancestors of theirs should also be in the Wonderful Realm. Many of them will appear in the dreams of the cultivators when they enter the state of meditation and grant them some magical powers. This is different from the destiny of the human world. However..."

Jiang Jie frowned, "Now that I think about it, there are many people who have reached the peak of the Hedao realm, but have never been summoned by the heavens, and died because their life span ran out and they had to start over. According to the Xuan Sect, these people are not good at character. But in the eyes of the Taiyi Sect, these people have very good character. I didn't know about Donghuang Taiyi before, so I didn't understand it, but now I think about it, and I always feel that it seems a little wrong."

"But no matter what, you've been to Coffin City and seen how the Xuan Cult dealt with mortals - that's not the right way."

Li Wuxiang was silent for a moment before he said, "Master Jiang, so the sky in this world may be dark."

Jiang Jie nodded: "Yes."

Then he looked at the Wanhua Square in the distance: "If you want to leave, I can send you away right now. Did Li Ye leave you any words?"

"He said this was a test for me, and that someone would help me. He--" There were some other words that Li Wuxiang would never have said before, because he was afraid that after he said those words, Jiang Jie would suddenly sneer and change his expression.

But he thought of the magical powers he had seen these days, and he realized that in front of such magical powers, a little bit of scheming and wisdom seemed to be nothing. He sighed, "He wants me to borrow a little magical power he left behind, go to the Nether Nine Abyss, and get the fragments of the Netherworld Scroll. He wants to use this little bit of true spirit to confer a true immortal status on me."

Jiang Jie's eyes widened slightly. This was the first time Li Wuxiang saw such an expression on his face - surprise!
"He wants to confer upon you the title of True Immortal!?"

"Yes."

Li Wuxiang knew why he was surprised, because after figuring out everything that had just happened, he himself was surprised—

Li Ye wanted to use the Eastern Emperor Seal and his own emptiness to squeeze out a rule of destiny in this world. However, he wanted to get a new position of True Immortal, and he really had the fate to cultivate to that realm and become...

Then "Li Wuxiang" became a new True Lord. Like "Donghuang Taiyi" and "Siming True Lord", he became a huge and terrifying thing, devouring all the later victims of faith... This is not even "the dragon slayer eventually becomes an evil dragon", but if you want to slay a dragon, you must first become an evil dragon!
Li Ye has already made a mistake once, why does he want to make the same mistake again?
"So..." Jiang Jie asked, "Do you know how to use your magical powers to confer an imperial decree on yourself?"

"……do not know."

Jiang Jie closed his eyes slightly, remained silent for a moment, then turned and looked towards the east. Li Wuxiang was slightly stunned, thinking that he might be paying tribute to Donghuang Taiyi... no, Li Ye. Because in this world, Taiyi is worshipped, and the East is worshipped.

He opened his eyes again: "Then this trial is not only yours, but also mine. You can't borrow his magical powers with your cultivation level. He should want me to do this. If I hadn't come to my senses at this moment, you wouldn't have said this to me. If I had come to my senses, I wouldn't have wanted to seize your position as a True Immortal. But Li Wuxiang... if you want to become the True Lord of Daoyun, you will be tied to me until you die."

"Perhaps you are not only fighting the six tribes, but also Donghuang Taiyi and the thirty-six true monarchs - I guess they are not happy to see a wild god like you. And once they are defeated, they will be truly annihilated in body and soul. In addition..." Jiang Jie hesitated for a moment, "Donghuang Taiyi... I have experienced his cold and decisiveness. He is the former Li Ye, and also the Li Ye after the Emperor Ye. Such a thing, no matter how it changes, is still Li Ye's nature at the root."

"He has helped you and taught you these days, but you should know that at his level, there will be no unprovoked kindness in his heart. If you become a True Lord... even if you accomplish something, I'm afraid he still has a trick up his sleeve and wants..."

Destroy me.

Treat me like a knife.

Li Wuxiang thought for a moment. Then he could hear more and more tiny prayers in his ears... The power of Siming Zhenjun Li Jiaotu was getting stronger, and it took in more and more wishes.

In the blue and white flames of the furnace, Wan Hua Fang seemed to have become a cocoon, nurturing something extremely terrifying, and this thing was about to break out of the cocoon.

But now he has calmed down.

He has always been a calm person. He is afraid of the unknown and confusion, but if things become clear and he knows the answer like now, he will not feel afraid.

So he said, "Master Jiang, I have nowhere to escape." "I originally wanted to live a carefree life in this world, but unfortunately I came at the wrong time. If Donghuang Taiyi or any of the six sects were to unify the Central Continent and make the world as solid as an iron plate, I would probably really find a place to live in seclusion and not ask anything else."

"But now, I feel that this is a time of great turmoil. My... my vision is not as big as yours and Li Ye's. I have never thought about saving the world. But I think that now that the situation is like this, I am in the game and will be targeted sooner or later. Since I can't run away or hide, then I will neither run away nor hide. As for what will happen in the future..."

Li Wuxiang smiled and said, "Since I was born, I have never known what a peaceful and happy life is. Instead, I feel that the whole world is always hoping that I will get into trouble. In the past, I could only curse the thief heaven and say that it is really annoying. But now that the thief heaven is alive, I want to touch it and ask it what is wrong with it."

"As for what will happen after I become a true immortal... I actually think that if there was no Donghuang Taiyi, the people in this world might have been wiped out by the monsters and monster kings of the past. Every generation has its own affairs. If there is really no other way, and the future generations think that I have become a bad guy, it is not a bad idea to destroy me."

Jiang Jie was silent for a moment, then smiled: "It seems that you have also passed Li Ye's test. Well, did he ask you to find the Netherworld Scroll?"

"Yes. Master Jiang, why did he want me to find that thing? Lou He said that if I find two scrolls, I can find the way to become a true immortal. Is that true?"

"It's fake. How could he know how to become an immortal at his level? It's just a rumor. He has misunderstood the usefulness of the Netherworld Scroll. As for its real usefulness, you will know it soon." Jiang Jie looked at Li Wuxiang. Li Wuxiang felt that his eyes softened, not knowing if it was an illusion or not.

"I have read many history books. After fighting with Li Ye this time, I think I may know what kind of person he is. The books I read are correct. You are very similar to Li Ye." Jiang Jie smiled gently, "Whether you believe it or not, you are very similar to me in the past."

The Wanhuafang in the distance began to emit a low humming sound, and the prayers in my ears became louder and louder, from a low whisper to a buzzing roar.

This reminded Li Wuxiang of the scene in his previous life when he heard people in the church singing praises in unison. However, the people of Jinshui did not know that they were calling not the true God, but disaster.

But Jiang Jie didn't seem to care about the voice, and continued: "I wasn't born as the Seventh Lord of the Netherworld. I also cultivated myself bit by bit."

"When I was born into this world, it was the end of the great war three thousand years ago. Donghuang Taiyi had been suppressed, and the thirty-six true monarchs were killed. I happened to catch up with the founding of the Taiyi Sword Sect - I am the first generation of Taiyi Sect Master."

Li Wuxiang uttered a low "ah" in his heart.

"I didn't do a good job as a leader. My cultivation was not high. I was only at the Nascent Soul stage. The only thing that made me feel happy was that I had gathered Taiyi's disciples. At that time, everyone thought that Taiyi was dead. My thoughts were the same as yours now - it was a chaotic time, but I might be able to save the world. It's just that I died early. I only lived to be 130 years old."

"Li Ye just invited Du Tian Siming to fight him in Yedu, and asked Du Tian Siming to kill all the Taiyi swordsmen of the past. It was because of this - because I, Jiang Jie, am worshipped and respected by the Taiyi disciples in this life, and because I was also the one who gathered the first generation of Taiyi disciples. He cut off the source of the trouble with one move, which was a very clever move."

"It was the end of the catastrophe, and the Lingshan Mountain was even more chaotic. So after I died, I did not go to the Lingshan Mountain, but reincarnated into the Netherworld. People in the world have many rumors about the secrets of gods and spirits, but most of the stories about the Netherworld are true - it can be considered very similar to the world, and you can practice there. I practiced in the Netherworld for many years, and became the Netherworld Messenger, the Yin-Yang Judge, the Three Hundred Impermanence, the Seventh King of Hell..."

"I, the Seventh Lord of Hell, am also considered a Yang God in the world. But the Netherworld was also suppressed. The disciples of the Netherworld Sect now look very similar to Donghuang Taiyi and the Thirty-Six True Lords - they all got the power of the Netherworld Mother. Therefore, if we want to fight in the world, we are not as good as the Yang Gods of the Sword Sect."

Li Wuxiang sighed quietly in his heart. Jiang Jie was not just chatting, he looked like he was teaching him about the Netherworld Sect.

Since he came to this world, he has encountered too many sinister people, but he has also met many teachers and mentors. Zeng Jianqiu counted, Mei Qiulu counted, Li Ye counted, and now it seems that there will be another Jiang Jie.

He liked this kindness, but he didn't like the feeling at all. Because these words reminded him of what Li Ye said to him not long ago... like a farewell!
"Master Jiang, why are you telling me all this? Let's go on—"

Jiang Jie raised one hand and waved it: "It was Du Tian Siming who destroyed the world, but it was me, Jiang Jie, who made Du Tian Siming successful. So many lives were buried in the underground fire. With such evil karma, I will not have a future in the eyes of reason and emotion."

"The Li Ye you saw before was Li Ye before he became a Golden Immortal, Li Ye in the True Immortal realm, who stole the power of Taiyi and hid and fought in the world. He is no longer the real Li Ye, but just a wisp of divine consciousness and ghost hidden in the cause and effect."

"The Jiang Jie you see now is the Jiang Jie who became the Siming of the Heavenly Gods, and the incarnation of the Siming True Lord. If I didn't hold some authority of the Seventh Lord of Hell, you wouldn't be able to see my incarnation at this moment. So I am no longer myself, but just a wisp of divine consciousness and ghost."

"I told you all this because I want to tell you that you may have to deal with the Netherworld Cult in the future."

"In the future, this world will be even more chaotic. The reason why the true spirits of the thirty-six true monarchs have not appeared in the world for so many years is because Li Ye's ghostly spirit is still there - he has stolen his own Taiyi authority and can control many true spirits. But now..."

"They all want to descend to the world and seize the power of incense and vows. For example, just now, my ghost soul broke free from Siming Zhenjun, and he immediately found Zhao Kui and entered his body. As for Xuanjiao, after this great change, it may not be able to interfere in matters outside the diocese within a hundred years. The thirty-six sects are all worshipping their respective ancestors, so it is even easier for the true spirits to descend to the world. I am afraid that the outside of the diocese will become purgatory. I said before that Dali must be destroyed first... Well, it has been accomplished."

"You need to tell Mei Qiulu about this. Tell her that I, as the leader, know everything that Lou He did, and ask her to show some leniency and allow him to return to the sect to serve."

Li Wuxiang was stunned: "Master, Lou He should have... died in Dajie Mountain."

Jiang Jie suddenly smiled: "Have you forgotten that I am the Seventh Lord of Hell? Some things are not impossible to do, but they can only be done once, and now is the time."

What is he talking about? What is he going to do?
But Jiang Jie suddenly stretched out his hand, touched his forehead with his fingertips, and shouted: "Li Ye gave you a little bit of true spirit, and I will give you a little bit of true spirit too. Li Wuxiang, tell the world what I have done, and let others judge it - go!"
