Chapter 577 Underworld
Chapter 577 Underworld
Li Musheng didn't care about Jiang Wang's choice; on the contrary, he was somewhat looking forward to Ao Zhu'er's so-called compensation.
After all, the other party's father, who is one of the top three martial gods in the world, must have some good things in his possession.
As for the Great Chu King and the Earthly Ancestor who were traveling with them, the two of them rode in the same carriage as the three members of the Jiang family.
Along the way, besides recuperating from their injuries, the Earthly Ancestor continued to send out messages, officially launching his revenge plan that he had been preparing for many years.
After leaving Baidi City, Li Musheng and his group traveled non-stop, and in just over half a month, they arrived at the edge of the Western Desert.
"If we continue northeast for about three more days, we will reach the border of the Great Chu."
Cang Yinyue looked at the map in her hand and then spoke to Li Musheng. At this moment, the big white cat stuck its enormous head in through the window.
The carriage could no longer accommodate the large white cat, which was the size of a tiger or leopard. It had to travel on its own four legs the entire way.
Although these journeys were nothing to the greatly enhanced white cat, they were still not as comfortable as when it lay in the carriage and slept in when it left Dali with Li Musheng.
Moreover, the big white cat still longs for the purple jade gourd in Yi Yangzi's hand, especially when Li Musheng was about to leave Baidi City, it shamelessly begged Li Musheng to help it get the purple jade gourd.
Unexpectedly, Li Musheng not only did not help it, but also sent it to deliver a martial arts treasure to the young girl Axiu as a farewell gift.
Although this was something Li Musheng had promised to the other party at the Tomb of the White Emperor, it still made the big white cat feel a little sour.
Therefore, along the way, the big white cat had been hoping that it might meet Yi Yangzi halfway and then ask Li Musheng to help it fulfill its wish. But unfortunately, after traveling for so many days, it hadn't seen a single person.
At this moment, Li Musheng shoved the white cat's head out of the carriage, glanced at the other person out of the corner of his eye, and said:
"I've noticed that while you, my cat, are becoming increasingly powerful, you're also becoming increasingly greedy."
As he spoke, Li Musheng seemed to remember something, then glanced at the large white cat outside the carriage and said thoughtfully:
"If I remember correctly, the stronghold of the Divinity Cult you used to be in seems to be within the territory of the Great Chu."
Upon hearing this, the big white cat turned its head around with its pair of huge, green eyes, then nodded its head and gestured with its paws, which were about the size of tiger claws.
Seeing this, Li Musheng narrowed his eyes slightly.
Previously, when he destroyed Luoshen Peak, one of the four major sects of the Dali Jianghu, the divine people from the Divine Nature Sect who were with the White Cat managed to snatch the Talent Divine Stele right under his nose.
Of course, Li Musheng did this intentionally, allowing those divine beings to take away the Divine Stele of Talent.
After all, he was not a divine being, and studying the Divine Stele of Talent was extremely troublesome. Naturally, the task of deciphering the secrets of the Divine Stele of Talent had to be left to professionals.
"It's been quite a while since then. I wonder if your associates have made any progress in their research on that God of Talent Stele?"
Li Musheng stared meaningfully at the large white cat outside the carriage and spoke, causing the cat's fur to stand on end. The cat then quickly stretched out a paw and placed it on its head.
The cat's face momentarily showed an expression of righteous indignation, as if to say that it was irreconcilably opposed to the divine beings and had no further connection with its former accomplices!
"Alright, I didn't say you couldn't contact those divine beings." Li Musheng waved his hand and squinted.
"What I mean is, instead of doing nothing productive and just thinking about taking other people's things, you should think about how to contact the Divine Cult after you enter the territory of Great Chu and find out the information I want."
Upon hearing this and learning of Li Musheng's true intentions, the big white cat secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It immediately patted its chest with its paws, assuring Li Musheng that it would not disappoint him if he entrusted the matter to it.
Seeing this, Li Musheng nodded slightly.
Upon careful consideration, aside from the matter of his sworn sister Li Yuanling, there were actually quite a few things he could do on his way back to Dali from the Western Desert, taking a detour through Da Chu.
"I hope to gain a lot this time as well."
Li Musheng withdrew his gaze and instead looked at Cang Yinyue and Shen Anran, who were studying the next route beside him.
He did not disturb the two, but continued to study the blood-red seal in his hand that contained the sacred law of the Yellow Springs.
He had previously discovered that the Yellow Springs Holy Law used by the Yellow Springs Holy Lord seemed to be different from the martial arts techniques commonly found in the martial arts world.
Although Rakshasa Saint King and the others were all true masters of martial arts, perhaps even the five of them did not realize that the Yellow Springs Sacred Technique they practiced was not as simple as they imagined, and contained extremely deep secrets.
There has been a legend among the people since ancient times that the sages and saints of the past may become immortals or gods after they pass away, while the souls of mortals will fall into the underworld after they die, and may even be reincarnated.
However, over thousands of years, countless martial arts masters have explored and proven that the so-called immortals, gods, and ghosts do not actually exist.
When a person dies, they are dead and nothing remains.
As for things like the possession of the Great Xuan Emperor or the humanoid skeletons in the White Emperor's Tomb that could survive for thousands of years and retain their consciousness, they are ultimately just the special effects of top-level demonic arts or some special martial arts and ancient secret techniques.
In reality, those who seem to be alive are actually already dead. The person living now is not their true self, and this so-called "living" state is ultimately unsustainable.
Among them, the most special are probably the White King and his two daughters in the Tomb of the White Emperor.
Their state is not a true rebirth of the dead, but rather a special way to prolong their lives, which are not yet over, allowing them to live longer!
Li Musheng pondered, his mind and spirit immersing themselves in the blood-red seal in his hand.
Since everything becomes empty after death, and there are no immortals, gods, or ghosts, then naturally one will not fall into the so-called Yellow Springs, and therefore such a place as "Yellow Springs" simply does not exist.
The so-called Yellow Springs Hell is merely something imagined by people.
However, the appearance of this Yellow Springs Sacred Law began to shake Li Musheng's thoughts.
This technique appears to be a divine martial art, but it has some strange aspects.
"Rakshasa, Blood Spring, Ghost Prison, Nether Sea, Underworld Mountain..."
Li Musheng pondered, the five holy rulers of the Yellow Springs region all had quite a knack for choosing names, which fit the legendary Yellow Springs region very well:
"The five individuals all possessed martial arts techniques, but after their techniques were combined, a strange and subtle aura subtly emerged, difficult to detect." (End of Chapter)
