Chapter 3237: Guarding the Netherworld
Netherworld.
After the Heaven Conquest Battle, a large number of souls entered here. According to the previous process, they had to pa.s.s through the Death’s Door and take the Yellow Springs Road.
Along the way, it was inevitable that Little Ghosts would make things difficult for them.
However, the scene of Feng Du’s death and the Heaven Conquest Battle had also spread to the Netherworld.
Not to mention many Little Ghosts of the Netherworld, even the five Ghost Emperors did not dare to make things difficult for the souls of these Heaven Conquest Battle cultivators.
After Su Zimo descended to the Netherworld, he distributed the Paramita Flowers beside the Yellow Springs Road to many Heaven Conquest Battle cultivators.
The Paramita Flowers could preserve the memories of one’s previous life. However, upon entering the Six Paths of Reincarnation, there were way too many variables and it was hard to say what the eventual outcome would be.
After all, he did not have the means of Empress Evil.
After sending away the souls of the Heaven Conquest Battle cultivators, Su Zimo did not leave the Netherworld. Instead, he sat quietly on Mount Baodu and enveloped the entire Netherworld with his spirit consciousness, patiently searching for traces of Feng Du.
Under the envelopment of his spirit consciousness, all living beings of the Netherworld were silent and cowered!
After the Heaven Conquest Battle, Su Zimo could ascend.
However, he was worried that Feng Du would make a comeback and the medium chiliocosm would fall into darkness again. Therefore, he presided over the Netherworld.
He sat there for ten thousand years!
Ten thousand years later, Su Zimo looked even older.
However, the divine light that flashed through his eyes became even more terrifying!
For a full ten thousand years, he searched the Netherworld several times and did not miss any corner.
In his eyes, there could be no secrets in the Netherworld.
However, he still did not discover any traces of Feng Du.
It was as though after killing Feng Du ten thousand years ago, the Lord of the Netherworld’s soul had already dissipated and he had died completely.
However, Su Zimo knew very well that Feng Du was definitely not dead.
It was only because he was presiding over the Netherworld that Feng Du did not dare to appear.
As for where Feng Du was hiding, he did not know.
There was another question regarding the Netherworld.
Logically speaking, there should be records of the souls that entered the Netherworld.
Su Zimo had once asked Ghost Emperor Yang Yun about it. According to him, there was indeed such a name list in the Netherworld.
However, only Feng Du was qualified to read it.
No one in the Netherworld knew where the name list was or what it looked like.
However, none of the ancient books Su Zimo read in the Netherworld mentioned a name list that recorded the souls of the past and present.
Initially, he wanted to search for traces of the souls of his eldest brother, Su Hong, Yaoxue and the others in the Netherworld. Now, he could only give up.
On this day.
Su Zimo seemed to have sensed something and his figure flashed. This was the first time he had left the Netherworld in ten thousand years.
After he left, the living beings of the Netherworld could finally relax. They appeared one after another and looked in the direction of Mount Baodu with lingering fear.
Tianhuang World.
The Iron Crown Old Man, Feng Cantian, Yaksha King Fear and the other Emperor experts were prepared to ascend on this day. Many experts of the various worlds gathered in Tianhuang World and Su Zimo rushed back from the Netherworld to send them off.
In the past ten thousand years, Feng Cantian had already stepped into the Emperor realm.
Although he was only at the minor Emperor realm, he could choose to ascend to the major chiliocosm as well.
The experts gathered and drank happily. Looking back at the past, they were all filled with emotions.
Although Immortal Empress Ling Long had already cultivated to the perfected Emperor realm, she had no intention of ascending. Instead, she continued to stay in Tianhuang World.
Everyone knew that she wanted to wait for Lin Zhan’s reincarnation in the medium chiliocosm, even if the chances were slim.
There were way too many variables and uncertainties when it came to reincarnation and rebirth.
They could be reborn into any world or race.
There were a billion worlds in the minor chiliocosm and three thousand in the medium chiliocosm. Waiting bitterly as such is countless times harder than searching for a needle in a haystack.
“Zimo, when are you preparing to ascend?”
During the banquet, the Iron Crown Old Man asked.
“There’s no hurry, I’ll wait a little longer.”
Su Zimo did not specify a specific deadline.
Indeed, he wanted to ascend to the major chiliocosm as soon as possible to find Die Yue.
However, he was really worried about his old friends here.
Furthermore, although he had already condensed a Dao Imprint, he still had to continue cultivating and strengthening his world.
In the medium chiliocosm, with his methods, he could obtain enough Source Stones to ensure that his cultivation improved.
Now, his world was already at the perfected realm.
After they experienced the calamity of the Heavenly Court being reestablished, everyone knew Su Zimo’s intentions.
However, some people were still worried.
“Master, your lifespan…”
Beiming Xue asked softly.
Due to the restrictions of the Heaven and Earth laws, although Su Zimo had already become a Great Emperor, his lifespan did not increase.
After he released Combating Past and Present continuously during the Heaven Conquest Battle, he only had a hundred thousand years left to live.
The current Su Zimo had white hair and even a few strands of white beard hanging in front of his chest, looking even older than Old Xuan.
However, his gaze was like a torch and it was terrifying. He wore a wide green robe and his beard and hair were white. He looked extraordinary and untainted by the mortal world, exuding a different aura.
“It’s fine.”
Su Zimo smiled gently.
His lifespan was only limited by the Heaven and Earth laws.
As long as he ascended to the major chiliocosm, his lifespan would naturally increase to 100 million years!
He wanted to wait for an opportunity to leave without worry.
After ten thousand years, Beiming Xue, Monkey, Night Spirit and the others had also cultivated to the perfected Grotto-heaven realm or quasi-Emperor realm.
As everyone chatted, Su Zimo even mentioned something about Night Spirit back then.
Night Spirit was once trapped in the Evil Fiend Battlefield. However, for some unknown reason, he later became the first living being to leave the Evil Fiend Battlefield in several eras.
According to Night Spirit, not long after his bloodline showed signs of atavism, he was released by the Blessed Heaven World. At that time, there seemed to be people from the Heavenly Court.
He did not know the exact reason either. Perhaps it was related to his bloodline.
The Lords of the Heavenly Court had long ascended and there was naturally no way to ask about that.
After the Iron Crown Old Man and the others ascended, Su Zimo roamed the medium chiliocosm, searching for traces of Feng Du. Tao Yao and Liu Ping were always by his side.
Therefore, occasionally, someone in the major worlds would see a green-robed old man with white hair and beard striding through the starry skies on a turtle and snake.
Behind him were two Dao children. One of them held a horsetail whip and the other held an auspicious jade.
“That white-haired old man is Great Emperor Desolate Martial of this generation!”
“The two Dao children behind him also have extraordinary backgrounds and are called Immortals Tao and Liu.”
“That’s for sure. Some world disputes were even resolved by Immortals Tao and Liu themselves.”
“I heard that Great Emperor Desolate Martial has the protection of 12 mighty Heavenly G.o.ds. Unfortunately, I didn’t see them this time round.”
The legend of Great Emperor Desolate Martial spread throughout the medium chiliocosm. In fact, some of it even spread to billions of worlds in the minor chiliocosm. As those stories spread, they evolved into many legends.
In some mortal worlds of the minor chiliocosm, there were even mortals who made statues of him, wors.h.i.+pping him with incense offerings.
For the past ten thousand years, although Su Zimo did not take over the medium chiliocosm explicitly, Tianhuang World had already become the number one faction of the medium chiliocosm.
Immortals Tao and Liu were not the only ones. There were also the Zither and Flute Fiends.
In fact, there were even people who called Rakshasa Yu and Nian Qi the Ghost and G.o.d Emissaries. Wherever the two of them went, the major worlds would show them respect.
As for Su Zimo, after roaming the medium chiliocosm, he returned to Mount Baodu and guarded the Netherworld. All the ghosts avoided him and the medium chiliocosm was peaceful!
In the blink of an eye, 50,000 years had pa.s.sed.
