Chapter 562: Underworld
The volume of "Underworld" is not large, only about twenty miles in diameter.
However, despite its small size, its size has more than doubled compared to when Li Ruyi's Dongtian World was first formed.
Xie Que once made detailed calculations and found that when he entered the realm of the God of War as a warrior,
The total amount of world power he can control is approximately one-thousandth of the original body.
This estimate is obtained without taking into account the entry bonus.
The bonus effect of the entry will undoubtedly further widen the gap between the two, and may even make the total multiplier exceed 10,000!
Although Xie Que's body only took a few years,
It successfully transformed the cave sky into a complete world, but this was mainly due to the transfer of power from the main body.
However, due to the huge size of the ontology, it is particularly difficult to perform the same transformation.
It's just like boiling a pot of water is relatively easy, but heating an entire river or river is much more difficult.
Even this body, which is relatively easy to transform, absorbed the essence of countless underwater volcanoes before it was finally tempered into the cave world.
For Ontology, if you want to complete such a transformation,
Maybe only at the moment when the entire Tanikaze world is going to be destroyed, can there be a chance to use the terrifying power of the world's destruction.
Xie Que deepened his consciousness into the underworld,
He discovered that the water in Yanfu Shi was as deep as a thousand feet, but the underwater world was empty.
In this world, apart from Yan Fu Shi Shui, nothing else exists.
Generally speaking, Yan Fu Shi Shui will only be born when the world is on the verge of destruction.
Xie Que was completely puzzled that this thing could be generated in his cave world.
He thought repeatedly and tried to find out the reason, but he still could not understand the real cause.
Xie Que speculated that this might be because the death energy transmitted from the main body was too strong.
Looking back at the beginning, after the death of Yama Buddha, he preserved his true body "Yam Luogu".
After that, he successively collected a large amount of death energy and transported it all to Yingzhou.
Such an approach may cause the total amount of death energy to exceed the total amount of qi and blood, thereby breaking the original balance.
Death energy represents yin, while qi and blood represent yang.
A stable world should be one in which yin and yang are harmonious and balanced.
However, the current situation seems to be one in which yin is exuberant and yang is in decline, and this imbalance is likely to cause problems.
These sudden appearances of water in the world may be an intuitive manifestation of this imbalance of yin and yang.
Xie Que has been able to clearly realize that the cave world he created may not be perfect.
This world he named "Underworld" has a very special environment because of the imbalance between yin and yang.
For monks, although they can survive in this world for a period of time, they absolutely cannot live in it for a long time.
After all, such an environment is difficult for most creatures, especially humans, to survive.
In this underworld, there are only those creatures on the yin side,
Such as ghosts, corpses, etc., can survive in it for a long time.
"It seems that the name Netherland is really the right one..."
Later, Xie Que broke through the sea and prepared to go back.
He looked under the sea and discovered that there were originally a group of submarine volcanoes stretching for thousands of miles.
In the previous violent explosion, everything had been destroyed and turned into a flat seabed.
At the center of the explosion, a bottomless abyss was formed.
As he flew by, he also gained a deeper understanding of his own strength.
"With my current strength, unless they are immortal and martial practitioners who have reached the seventh level, no one should be my opponent."
However, in Yingzhou, except for their master and apprentice, there are no other high-level warriors.
With Lord Nichiren trapped in a heavenly barrier, if no other hidden creation appears, then no one here should be able to compete with him.
Although he said this, Xie Que had no intention of walking directly to the stage and exposing his presence.
He knew very well that after all, he was not a native resident of Yingzhou World to a certain extent, and being too public might cause unnecessary trouble.
At the beginning, he took advantage of the great freedom of the demon and succeeded in seizing the body.
Although this method is clever, it is difficult for even the God of Creation to detect.
However, the way of heaven is different. It may be able to see into its own existence in some way that it is not aware of.
Xie Que understood that the true spirit of this body was still Kurokawa Takeshi.
The abnormal memory in this part of the true spirit is likely to be recognized by heaven.
If this really happens, then all the hard work and effort I have spent over the past few years will be in vain.
This is something he absolutely doesn't want to see.
His goal is to seize the Tianxin Seal, and to achieve this goal,
First, the Tianxin Seal needs to be “stripped out” from the Heavenly Dao.
Regarding how to peel it off, Xie Que already had a plan in his mind, but he was still a little unsure.
However, he has already taken the first step,
That is to make Lord Nichiren fall into a natural barrier, and this step has been successfully achieved.
Immediately afterwards, he was advancing the second step of the plan,
That is to say, the entire Kyushu Islands fell into chaos.
This step is being carried out in an orderly manner, and he hopes to further weaken the trust of Heavenly Dao in Nichiren God through chaos.
The third step is to make Yingzhou Tiandao feel that the holder of the Tianxin Mark it has chosen is not reliable.
When Tiandao loses confidence in this holder, it will consider choosing a new holder.
As for how to let Yingzhou Tiandao choose him, he has his own clever plan.
However, it is not easy to let a world of heaven make a choice. It requires patience, strategy and opportunity.
The sea area where Xie Que broke through was quite far away, and it was tens of thousands of miles away from the nearest island.
However, with his speed, he easily returned to Dongshan Road in just a few sticks of incense.
On the way back, he noticed many god-worshippers and onmyojis flying hurriedly towards the location of his breakthrough.
Xie Que knew very well that these people must have mistakenly thought that a precious treasure was born in that place.
That's why they rushed there in such a hurry.
After returning to Beihaizhai, Xie Que took out some of the heavenly materials and earthly treasures he had collected before.
Among these treasures, there are wonders of heaven and earth such as dragon's horn, sea wood divine iron, and dragon bones embedded in trees.
Although they could not directly enhance Qi and blood, Xie Que collected them anyway.
He did this just for this moment.
Most of these treasures were not obtained through Hokusai's transactions.
Instead, during Xie Que's travels, he searched hard for them, and sometimes even obtained them by snatching them.
These Dongxu are the real essence of his collection.
After all, the level of guests in Beihaizhai varies greatly nowadays, and it is difficult for Xie Que to expect to get any real treasures here.
He believed in his own vision and strength to personally search for the buried treasures.
With a thought, Xie Que took all these precious items into the underworld.
In this space, the dim power of the world slowly entangled itself and began to corrupt these strange objects.
In just the blink of an eye, these originally dazzling treasures seemed to have experienced countless years of wind and rain, and cracks appeared all over their bodies, as if they had experienced thousands of years of vicissitudes.
As these wonders are gradually "digested" and "absorbed" by the power of the world,
The entire cave world also began to expand involuntarily.
Twenty-seven miles...thirty miles...fifty miles...
The diameter of the underworld continued to grow, and finally stabilized after stopping at seventy-one miles.
Recalling that it took Li Ruyi hundreds of years to expand his cave world to more than 300 miles,
This is not because expansion is too difficult, but because Tianxin World itself was born not long ago and its resources are relatively poor.
Although Xie Que used the long river of time to refine it, the number of rare objects in it did not increase.
As a top alchemist, Li Ruyi does not lack resources, but the Tianxin world is too barren.
Moreover, most of the resources he could use to expand the world inside his body were deliberately given to him by Xie Que.
If it were in the Xiaobei Sea Realm, it wouldn't be a problem for Li Ruyi's cave world to expand ten or twenty times.
At this moment, in the underworld, those heaven and earth wonders have completely turned into nothingness and are scattered in the cave world.
At the same time, Xie Que felt that the power of the dim yellow world within it also increased a little.
After successfully completing all matters, Xie Que did not choose to continue practicing in seclusion, but decided to reopen Beihaizhai's store.
This news quickly spread across the four islands of Kyushu, attracting the attention of many Onmyoji.
Many onmyojis and god worshipers who had been begging for the treasure pill for a long time, after hearing the news that Beihai Zhai was reopened, they
People came here one after another, eager to get a treasure pill.
Facing these customers, Xie Que showed great tolerance.
He opens his door to every customer who comes to ask for elixirs, and he happily accepts any rare item that can help him expand the underworld.
And all he paid to refine the elixir was just some herbs.
After all, for practitioners of the fourth and fifth realms, the pills they need are too simple, and for Xie Que it is just a piece of cake.
However, the Onmyoji who are above the Sixth Realm are almost at the pinnacle of martial arts in the four islands of Kyushu.
Xie Que didn't have too many expectations for this kind of customers.
Because he knew that although his Beihaizhai was famous, if he wanted to attract such top players, he still needed a golden sign.
And that sign is naturally his disciple Furukawa Hideki.
A few days later, Hideki Furukawa, the "Asuka Sword Master" who was thousands of miles away, also learned from other Onmyoji that Hokkaisai was open for business again.
For him, this news was not just a simple message, but also a secret message between him and Xie Que's master and disciple.
After learning the news, Hideki Furukawa quickly ended his trip and hurried back to Higashiyama Road.
Not long after, Xie Que saw a dazzling light cut through the clouds and land directly in Beihaizhai's backyard.
When Hideki Furukawa saw the teacher he had not seen for several years, he was suddenly surprised.
A few years ago, although he could not accurately perceive the depth of his teacher's strength,
But one can also tell from the fierceness of the teacher's Qi and blood that their strength should be between equals.
But now, when he faced the teacher again, he found that the gap between him and the teacher was as big as a world of difference.
The teacher is as bright as the bright moon in the sky, but I am as insignificant as the light of a firefly.
Although he was shocked inside, Furukawa Hideki quickly calmed down.
He knelt forward respectfully and said, "Teacher." This call contained his deep respect and gratitude to Xie Que.
Xie Que was sitting in the backyard of Beihaizhai, his eyes seemed to be closed, as if he was immersed in some deep thoughts.
A gloomy cold light floated from the top of his head, then slowly dispersed, and finally disappeared into the endless void.
At this moment, Xie Que is trying to capture the lonely ghosts outside and bring them into his own underworld.
Nichiren God used the long river of time to surround Yingzhou. Although he protected this land from the void,
But in fact, it also caused the underworld to be unable to detect the existence of those who were dying in Yingzhou.
Therefore, the true soul after death has nowhere to go and can only dissipate into endless nothingness.
This situation has led to the mortals in Yingzhou rarely going out at night, because they will really bump into ghosts!
Xie Que used the power of the world to create a piece of land on top of the Yan Fu Shi Shui.
It also provides a place for these souls who have nowhere to rest.
However, after some attempts, Xie Que found that those ghosts dispersed immediately after entering the underworld.
He couldn't figure out the reason yet, so he had no choice but to give up the plan temporarily.
Seeing Furukawa Hideki's return, Xie Que opened his eyes slightly, with an expression of surprise and approval on his face.
He clearly felt that the speed of this disciple's cultivation far exceeded his expectations.
I think back then, Huaiyuezi accepted the teachings he taught across time and space, and it took him maybe ten thousand years to gradually practice to the current state.
However, it only took Hideki Furukawa more than ten years to reach such a height, which is really amazing.
In the subsequent conversation, Furukawa Hideki reported in detail the current situation of the four islands of Kyushu.
He described that except for Kyoto, everywhere else was full of ghosts walking at night, and people lived in poverty and turmoil.
Although this situation seemed a bit inhumane, Xie Que saw the result he wanted.
Then Furukawa Hideki mentioned the news about the Pantheon, which immediately aroused Xie Que's strong interest.
He motioned to Furukawa Hideki to elaborate on this situation.
Furukawa Hideki then said: "The power of the Pantheon is mainly concentrated overseas. Although its influence on the four islands of Kyushu is relatively small, it still cannot be ignored."
Xie Que nodded after hearing this. He knew that his own Aoki Shrine was like this, and the Aoki God was also a big figure in the pantheon.
The four islands of Kyushu correspond to only the largest islands in Yingzhou.
There are many overseas islands, and if they were combined, their area would not necessarily be smaller than the four islands of Kyushu.
However, the Tenshogunate has been committed to ruling the four islands of Kyushu and has not paid much attention overseas. This has allowed the Pantheon to develop and grow overseas.
According to Furukawa Hideki further revealed, the Pantheon seems to have noticed the abnormal situation of Nichiren Kami, and is currently planning some actions secretly.
Although the specific details are still unknown, they seem to be actively collecting strange objects related to the Five Elements and Yuan Magnetism.
After hearing the word "wonderful object", Xie Que immediately became interested. (End of chapter)
