This is the martial arts world, what are you cultivators interfering in?

Chapter 254 Old Friends of Earth

Nantian Academy immediately took action, searching for various supplies in accordance with Xuanyuan Tongxuan's instructions.

"Reporting to Senior, this disciple is prepared to receive the heavenly lightning right here!"

At the same time, Yan Zhanyu also found a mountain foothill. The terrain here was high and easy to attract lightning. There were many lightning-struck trees in the forest. After Li Lan gave his permission, he immediately set up an array. One day, the sky was clear and the thunder and rain suddenly broke out. At that moment, a bolt of lightning ten thousand feet long struck down from the sky!

The lightning strike lasted for about three hours.

After the thunderstorm subsided, Yan Zhanyu stepped into the formation and picked up a large amount of "thunder iron" that had been laid out earlier. The thunder iron had been forged by heavenly thunder and contained pure yang thunder energy. With his guidance, all the pure yang thunder energy eventually gathered on an "iron ruler".

"Senior, might this item meet your needs?"

He handed the Pure Yang Iron Ruler to Li Lan, who examined it briefly and then nodded.

This item isn't exactly a treasure, but all he needed was pure Yang thunder energy that nurtured the power of the mortal realm, so it was enough!

Thank you.

Li Lan said something indifferently, and then put the iron ruler away.

……

the other side.

Gong Jiuren had already prepared the incense and money for Xuanyuan Tongxuan that he needed.

"We can set off today!"

The crowd gathered.

Within Nantian Academy, three men and three women joined forces with Xuanyuan Tongxuan. Gu Xuan, Xu Caiwei, and Luo Yu were naturally included, and in addition to Qin Lin, two other young geniuses were added.

"Master, when shall we act?"

Behind Xuanyuan Tongxuan, the female cultivator he brought from the Dao Palace spoke; this woman's name was Lian Hong.

"No rush, it should be soon once your senior brother Bai Li brings someone over."

Xuanyuan Tongxuan looked up at the sun, and sure enough, a young man arrived quickly after about half an hour. It was Bai Li, Xuanyuan Tongxuan's disciple.

Besides him, there was another middle-aged man with white hair, who looked weathered and taciturn.

Upon seeing this person, Li Lan's pupils contracted, and he was suddenly taken aback!

"Zhou Xiang?!"

He was somewhat incredulous!

This person was an old friend he had met on Earth, one of his university classmates.

What happened? How did Zhou Xiang end up in the Ziwei Star Region?

Li Lan, who was usually calm and composed, couldn't help but get excited at this moment. He couldn't wait to have a detailed talk with Zhou Xiang, but with Xuan Yuan Tong Xuan and the others around, he had to suppress his excitement.

"Is this person from the Primordial Emperor Star?"

Yan Zhanyu asked in surprise.

"good."

Xuanyuan Tongxuan did not hide anything and nodded: "A few years ago, a bronze ancient ship came from the starry sky. It was full of cultivators from the Primordial Emperor Star. Hehe, the underworld was formed by the demon god of the Emperor Star sacrificing himself. The blood of the cultivators of the Primordial Emperor Star is very helpful in finding the underworld."

Let's go—

With a wave of his hand, the group immediately set off for the Chaotic Spirit Mountain Range!

Li Lan observed silently along the way, but Zhou Xiang rarely spoke. He would only occasionally stare blankly at the sunset and sigh.

Many memories also surfaced in Li Lan's mind.

Before his transmigration, he had a life similar to most people: he spent his childhood in school until he graduated from university and entered a powerful organization. In that organization, Li Lan witnessed too much power struggle and infighting, which tempered his character...

Looking back, my memories of working after entering the workforce are quite vague, while my student days are vivid in my mind.

During his university years, Li Lan's academic performance was not particularly outstanding, but he loved reading and spent many years in the library. He also enjoyed auditing classes in various majors such as history and literature, and won many awards in many useless hobby competitions. Overall, he was quite a prominent figure in his class.

Zhou Xiang, on the other hand, was honest and followed his teacher's instructions step by step to complete all tasks. After graduation, he went to work for a private company. Li Lan heard that the work was very hard, but she was not sure what happened to him afterward.

Why would a worker who works 996 every day on Earth appear in the Ziwei Star Region, which is full of cultivators?

Xuanyuan Tongxuan said that Zhou Xiang and the others entered the starry sky in what was called an ancient bronze ship, and there were many other cultivators with Zhou Xiang. Could it be that cultivation is now possible on Earth?

A spiritual revival?

Or perhaps a cultivator from the starry sky arrived at the Imperial Star and brought Zhou Xiang and the others out?

I don't know, and I can't figure it out.

……

The group has arrived at the Chaotic Spirit Mountain Range.

"It was here that we were guided to that yang spirit."

Guided by Xu Caiwei, the group returned to the valley where Li Lan had appeared that day.

"Indeed, there is an aura of the underworld..."

Xuanyuan Tongxuan nodded and waved his hand. His disciples Bai Li and Lian Hong immediately set up an incense table and altar. Xuanyuan Tongxuan, wearing a yellow Taoist robe, made countless hand seals and chanted many ancient and difficult incantations. Then, he suddenly swung his peach wood sword, and a stream of blood spurted from Zhou Xiang's arm.

Xuanyuan Tongxuan threw the Lingyin mineral crystal that Luo Yu had offered forward. The Lingyin mineral crystal immediately exploded with a loud bang, spewing out astonishing flames. Between the blood and fire, a strange yellow smoke appeared. Within the yellow smoke, it was as if another turbulent world was hidden!

Xuanyuan Tongxuan lit the Yin-Connecting Incense, handing one to each person, and shouted, "Come in with me!"

Then, with a single step, his and Zhou Xiang's figures blurred from the mortal realm, as if they had entered another world.

Bai Li, Lian Hong, Xu Caiwei, Gu Xuan, Luo Yu, and others hurriedly followed.

Yan Zhanyu waited outside.

……

The surrounding area was shrouded in a gloomy mist, and nothing could be seen. Divine senses and spiritual perceptions seemed to have failed here!

"Where is this? The underworld?"

"The aura is mixed and chaotic; this must be the underworld!"

Bai Li and the others were all astonished as they held the Yin-Connecting Incense. Li Lan, however, sensed it for a moment and understood that they had not yet fully entered the underworld, but were in the area where the underworld and the mortal world intersected!

"Do you see that dam ahead?"

Xuanyuan Tongxuan walked at the front and suddenly pointed ahead. Everyone looked closely and vaguely noticed that in the distance, there seemed to be a huge dam lying between heaven and earth, as if it blocked the two worlds.

"Bai Li, take them up to the dam. At the deepest part of the dam is the place of the evil corpse of the demon god - the Yin God. After you perform the sacrificial ritual, present this document."

He handed a yellow form to Bai Li.

Bai Li's expression changed slightly, and he said in a trembling voice, "Master..."

"Ok?"

Xuanyuan Tongxuan gave him a cold look and said, "You're unwilling?"

Bai Li immediately lowered his head and said, "This disciple dares not."

Xuanyuan Tongxuan said calmly, "Do a good job. If this matter is successfully completed, you will be welcomed out by your Grandmaster Xuanyuan. You will then be my closed-door disciple and my true first disciple."

A glimmer of hope appeared in Bai Li's eyes. Then, he gritted his teeth, looked at Zhou Xiang, Luo Yu, Xu Caiwei, and the others, and said, "Come with me!"

Immediately, he took the incense stick and walked forward.

He led the group away.

"Master, is it possible for Senior Brother Bai Li to come back?"

Lian Hong was somewhat worried.

"It's alright. Although the evil spirit has a tendency to destroy everything, it can regain some of its sanity after consuming incense money and flesh and blood. It won't kill you."

Xuanyuan Tongxuan Dao.

Lian Hong looked at her master with a complicated expression and said, "But Master, worshipping the Yin God is, in a sense, prolonging the life of the Yin God. This violates the 'forbidden covenant'..."

Upon hearing the word "forbidden agreement," Xuan Yuan Tong Xuan fell silent for a moment, then sighed deeply and said, "Back then, our ancestor Xuan Yuan Dang Tian risked his life to come here in order to obtain the supernatural powers of the Yin Gods, but he disappeared without a trace. Now it seems that he has mistakenly entered the Yin Realm..."

“Over the years, our Xuanyuan clan has been declining day by day. Within the Dao Palace, we have no one to rely on anymore. Bringing him out is our only hope for revival…”

"The underworld is about to fall. As long as we can give that underworld god a way to welcome the ancestor back, it will be a great thing. As for sacrificing to the underworld god... hehe, it's just for exploring reincarnation, so it's perfectly legitimate."

"This is all thanks to that yang spirit."

A cold glint appeared in his eyes.

His true goal was to welcome the ancestor Xuanyuan Dangtian, but the excuse he used on the Dao Palace's side was that he had discovered what appeared to be traces of reincarnation.

Reincarnation is a great taboo in the mortal realm, which is why the Dao Palace sent him a seed of an Emperor Star for his use. Otherwise, wouldn't every cultivator who emerged from the Primordial Emperor Star be regarded as a treasure? He would never have had the chance to use it!

"Master, is reincarnation truly possible in this underworld?"

Lian Hong asked another question.

"will not."

Xuanyuan Tongxuan said calmly, "Throughout history, there has only been one person with the ability to create reincarnation!"

"But that person left the underworld thousands of years ago. If he's not in the underworld, who can make reincarnation happen again?"

"If such a person truly exists, I would absolutely not dare to set foot here."
