"Huangquan Road!" Mr. Shi spoke up.
Everyone looked down below, where the bottom of the canyon was glowing with yellow light, allowing a glimpse of the interior scene.
Under the yellow light, countless humanoid fierce ghosts were struggling hard to climb upwards. They climbed incessantly, attempting to ascend out of the abyss and simultaneously pulling down other ghosts from above to sink themselves lower and rise higher.
Endless and deep, at a glance, it was an infinite abyss. The fierce ghosts rapidly climbed upwards, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't climb out to the mortal realm. Yet they were undeterred, continuously climbing.
It seed as if billions of fierce ghosts were trying to break through this abyssal Huangquan Road and charge towards the human world.
Floating Incense Bodhisattva was suspended in the middle of this abyss, where thousands of fierce ghosts were constantly pulling and dragging her downwards, trying to drag her into the depths of the Huangquan abyss. In the abyss, Floating Incense Bodhisattva seed to have her powers restricted, angrily and furiously batting away one fierce ghost after another, sending them plumting into the bottomless abyss.
"Roar~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~" Floating Incense Bodhisattva scread in anger and frustration. Furious! Floating Incense Bodhisattva knew she could break free, but it would certainly take a long ti. Here, her formidable aura had no effect on these fierce ghosts whatsoever.
"Is this Huangquan Road?" Zhong Shan exclaid in surprise.
"This is one of the Huangquan Roads! Let's leave quickly. Once this old nun escapes, Huangquan Road will imdiately close," Mr. Shi shook his head and said no more.
"Let's go!" Zhong Shan said.
Then, the group swiftly flew away, leaving only the indignant screams of Floating Incense Bodhisattva behind.
"Tian'er, don't waste ti. Let's quickly head to the Daming Temple," Zhong Shan looked at Zhong Tian.
"Yes, Father, take care!" Zhong Tian nodded.
Then, Zhong Tian led the five monks and hurried in one direction.
Zhong Shan watched Zhong Tian depart, then turned to Mr. Shi and asked, "Mr. Shi, is that Huangquan Road real?"
Zhong Shan could tell that Huangquan Road was neither a formation nor a derived realm; it was extrely peculiar.
"Your Majesty, this concerns a critical matter for . For the specifics, if there's a chance in the future, I will definitely inform you," Mr. Shi replied.
"Very well," Zhong Shan nodded, but he also understood that Mr. Shi's "if there's a chance in the future" depended on whether he could gain Mr. Shi's approval. Currently, Mr. Shi had only aligned himself with the Great Jiong Dynasty and had not yet pledged allegiance.
"The Great Extinction Ceremony, the descent of the Buddha..." Zhong Shan recounted the details of the Great Extinction Ceremony to Mr. Shi.
"It's nothing compared to seeing the Buddha. This ti, I obtained the corpses of two Bodhisattvas," Mr. Shi shook his head.
Zhong Shan noticed that Mr. Shi seed indifferent to the Buddha.
"You stole from the Buddha's tomb?" Zhong Shan looked at Mr. Shi.
"The restrictions on the Buddha's tomb are too stringent. I only managed to steal two," Mr. Shi sighed.
"Don't worry, one day we will unearth all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas from within the Buddha's tomb," Zhong Shan affird decisively.
"Let's hope so," Mr. Shi nodded.
"Let's go, let's et with Lin Xiao first!" Zhong Shan said.
Then, the two quickly departed—
In the Eternal Realm, within a thatched cottage deep in the forest.
The cottage was quaint and elegant, surrounded by mountains, forests, and spring water, exceptionally picturesque. Outside the cottage stood two won.
One was Nian Youyou, and the other was a woman wearing a purple veil.
"Master, this is Xiaoqing!" Nian Youyou said softly.
"The ancestral beast?" the woman exclaid in surprise.
"Master, you know about it?" Nian Youyou asked, astonished.
"Oh? You're aware too?" the woman replied calmly.
"Yes, I heard them ntion it," Nian Youyou said with a hint of fear.
"The ancestral beast given to you by Zhongshan?" the woman inquired.
"Yes!" Nian Youyou whispered.
"If the ancestral beast is willing to give itself to you, it seems there's already so affection between you?" the woman asked.
"No, we're just friends!" Nian Youyou quickly shook her head.
"Friends? You, Youyou, I've watched you grow up. How could I not understand you? You have a broad vision like . If you've taken notice of him, this Zhongshan must be an extraordinary man. I've recently inquired about him; Zhongshan is indeed exceptional," the woman nodded.
"Master, really, there's nothing!" Nian Youyou's face showed a trace of pain.
"Hmph!" the woman snorted.
"Master!" Nian Youyou whispered fearfully.
"Youyou, what cultivation technique are you practicing?" the woman asked.
"The Supre Forgetfulness Technique," Nian Youyou said, biting her lip.
"As long as you know. The Supre Forgetfulness: devoid of sentint but not forgetting, only with affection can you forget. You've found true affection in this world, and now feelings have begun to grow. If you can't forget this affection, your cultivation will stagnate forever. Only by forgetting can you continuously break through and reach the level of our ancestors. The Supre Forgetfulness, among the six lineages of the Eternal Realm, will revive our lineage's glory, defy mortal destiny, and achieve immortality," the woman explained.
"But, Master..." Nian Youyou said in pain.
"Kill him. Find an opportunity to kill Zhongshan, and you can continue on this path," the woman comforted.
"No, Master, you wouldn't do that either, right?" Tears of pain welled up in Nian Youyou's eyes.
The small furry ball in her arms blinked, looking at Nian Youyou in confusion.
"? I couldn't kill him. You're different; a hundred Zhongshans wouldn't be your match. The Supre Forgetfulness Technique is practiced by one in a billion. Don't waste your exceptional constitution. Killing Zhongshan will help you forget, and you can make a breakthrough," the woman comforted.
"But I really feel hurt inside!" Nian Youyou sobbed and hugged the woman.
The small furry ball in her arms squird, its innocent eyes filled with pain.
"Just kill him! Rember this feeling!" the woman said softly.
"But, Master..." Nian Youyou cried out in inner conflict.
"Zhongshan, like you, is surrounded by legend. At one hundred and fourteen years old, achieving what he has is rare in all of Shenzhou. If allowed to develop, he might even beco an immortal. But his path to immortality wouldn't surpass yours," the woman sighed lightly.
"Master, how do you know Zhongshan is a hundred and fourteen? Even in the Grand Luo Empire, those in power wouldn't know," Nian Youyou wiped her tears.
"Don't think too much. Just get ready to act. Spend so ti adjusting in the Eternal Realm. Once you're ready, make your move," the woman shook her head with a sigh.
"Master!" Tears welled up in Nian Youyou's eyes again.
Indeed, it was the cruelest technique: the Supre Forgetfulness Technique. First cultivate affection, establish enough emotional connection, then kill the other person, leaving only that affection to accompany you. Supre Forgetfulness!
In the land of Shenzhou, Shui Wuheng led an army of eight hundred thousand, advancing steadily.
"Report..."
A scout swiftly flew in.
"Report!" Shui Wuheng looked towards the scout.
"General, ahead we've spotted another Mo Yan legion, about thirty thousand strong. They've just razed a small town, killing almost everyone, and are now surrounding a group of people," the scout reported.
"Oh?" Shui Wuheng looked slightly puzzled.
Shortly after, Shui Wuheng, Liu Wushuang, Zhihuo, and Lin Xiao flew to a nearby high mountain and looked into the distance.
In the distance, thirty thousand Mo Yan troops had just flattened a small town. The savage riders on Mo Yans were circling incessantly, their gazes extrely malevolent, all focused on the center.
In the center were about thirty people, each without a trace of fear in their eyes, only firm resolve. Whenever a savage rider charged, they were slaughtered by a group of n wielding swords on the periphery.
The group's strength seed to be around the Consolidation Stage.
"Sa as the last two tis, it's none of our business, let's not interfere. Let's go!" Shui Wuheng glanced briefly and shook his head, ready to leave.
"Wait!" Lin Xiao suddenly frowned.
"Huh?" Shui Wuheng and Liu Wushuang looked puzzled.
Lin Xiao squinted, observing the battlefield center in the distance. Over thirty people, with twenty or so wielding swords on the outside, were continuously slaughtering Mo Yan troops. However, in the center, a few hadn't moved.
This group was trapped by the Mo Yan legion. But Lin Xiao saw one person, a woman.
It wasn't lust that made Lin Xiao notice, but a woman who suddenly overlapped with soone from his mory. Soone Lin Xiao had heard about from Yinglan.
White clothes, white hair, white eyebrows, and a white sword! A woman rumored to have a special relationship with the emperor.
Kaiyang Sect! Bei Qingsi!
Lin Xiao hadn't seen Bei Qingsi before, so he couldn't be sure it was her. But such a distinctive appearance was rare in Shenzhou. Lin Xiao hadn't seen a woman with white hair and eyebrows even in the Ancient Holy Capital.
"What's wrong?" Shui Wuheng asked, puzzled.
"We need to rescue them!" Lin Xiao said imdiately.
"Rescue who?" Shui Wuheng frowned, clearly reluctant.
"Don't you recognize that woman with white hair in the center?" Lin Xiao furrowed his brows.
"White hair?" Shui Wuheng looked slightly puzzled, then looked again.
"Bei Qingsi?" Shui Wuheng exclaid in surprise.
Shui Wuheng and Bei Qingsi were once martial siblings, but in Shui Wuheng's mory, Bei Qingsi had always had black hair. When did her hair turn white?
"Phew," Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. He actually guessed right.
"Wushuang, organize the troops and get ready to move!" Shui Wuheng ordered.
"Yes!" Liu Wushuang imdiately responded.
"How does Mr. Lin know Bei Qingsi? And how do you know I know Bei Qingsi?" Shui Wuheng looked at Lin Xiao with suspicion.
"The Marshal ntioned her to before!" Lin Xiao explained.
The army quickly prepared, taking advantageous positions.
"Archers!" Shui Wuheng gave the order.
