Chapter 212 : Underworld River’s Secret (2)
Cultivators cannot escape two types of tribulations during their lives — life reduction and fate calamity. No one could avoid these two catastrophes, but a physique tribulation was not something any cultivator would want to face either. If one didn’t cultivate a Physique Law, then they didn’t have to undergo a physique tribulation in the future!
Li Qiye’s minor physique tribulation was approaching, but Li Qiye still suppressed it. If it was someone else, they would try to pa.s.s it as soon as possible because the physique tribulation grew in strength with the pa.s.sage of time.
However, Li Qiye didn’t take such a course of action because he groomed countless characters and understood certain dilemmas. Even though it was safer to undergo a physique tribulation early on, this would cause an unfinished removal of the physique fiend. With it remaining in the physique, it could directly affect one achieving a grand completion Immortal Physique in the future!
As the tribulation moment was approaching, Li Qiye kept on suppressing it for there was still some time before the perfect moment.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Right when Li Qiye took a deep breath and withdrew his merit laws, the world suddenly shook. All of Ancient Sky City was trembling as if an earthquake was approaching.
With a change in his expression, Li Qiye instantly calculated it in his mind, causing him to be surprised as he immediately rushed outside.
At this time, there were many people running outside. Li Shuangyan and Chen Baojiao, who were cultivating, also came out as everyone all looked towards the far direction.
At this moment, there was a visual phenomenon appearing in the far horizon above the Heavenly Ancient Corpse Burial Ground. There was a heavenly river flowing down from the sky and onto the Heavenly Ancient Corpse Burial Ground. The Heavenly Underworld River descended and turned the burial ground into h.e.l.l itself. At this moment, above the burial ground were requiems that caused listeners to lament in grieving sadness.
In the sky above the burial ground all the way to the source of the river, there were fluttering pieces of paper money as well as ancestors in mourning clothes, burning ceremonial paper. They carried a banner as if an Immortal King had fallen, or the death of a True G.o.d just occurred. Countless ancestors were sending them off…
“The Underworld River finally came out…” Everyone lost their colors from seeing such a scene. Juniors like Li Shuangyan and Chen Baojiao became emotional and stunned from such a scene for it was their first time.
The appearance of the Underworld River also signaled the coming of the Underworld Boats. Sects from across the world were here for the Underworld Boats, and the day they were eagerly waiting for has finally arrived.
“Isn’t the legendary Underworld River located in h.e.l.l? Why is it coming down from the sky!” Seeing the descending river, Chen Baojiao couldn’t help but to ask Li Qiye.
At this time, all the young ones were looking over at Li Qiye. If anyone could dispel their doubts, it would be their Oldest Brother.
Watching the river flowing down from the sky, Li Qiye gently shook his head and smilingly answered: “What you see is not necessarily true, and what you hear is not necessarily genuine as well! It is not a fact that you are seeing the river coming down from the sky, and it is not the truth just because you heard that it is down below the earth! Since immemorial dates, countless people have searched for the Underworld River in order to find the source as well as to enter h.e.l.l, but none of them returned alive! h.e.l.l being underground is only a legend.”
“h.e.l.l really exists in this world?” Nan Huairen curiously asked. In fact, not only were the juniors interested, but the group of s.h.i.+ Gandang and Tu Buyu were curious as well.
There were too many legends in this world. Countless cultivators debated whether there were ghosts and evils as well as immortals, but it was all for naught. If this world truly had devils and ghosts, then there would be the h.e.l.l from the legends, but no one had ever seen the real h.e.l.l since ancient times.
Li Qiye didn’t answer Nan Huairen’s question. He simply stared at the sky towards the end of the river where countless ancestors were attending the funeral. This phenomenon was very fuzzy, but it was extremely clear in Li Qiye’s eyes.
“Who are the ancestors mourning for?” In the end, Li Shuangyan gently asked out of curiosity.
Seeing the solemn and indistinct scene in the sky where countless ancestors were burning ceremonial paper while carrying battle banners with such sadness, Li Qiye could only gently sigh in the end as he said: “No one knows, this has always been a mystery!”
At this very second, everyone in Ancient Sky City were watching this amazing scene in astonishment, especially the undying old men in the coffins.
“Underworld River… finally appeared…” Seeing the river floating down from the sky, countless undying old men excitedly murmured.
In reality, at this very moment, countless eyes opened inside the Heavenly Ancient Corpse Burial Ground. It didn’t matter whether it was the Feng Shui Treasure Earth or Earth Immortal Dragon Veins, every pair of opening eyes flashed terrifying b.l.o.o.d.y rays outward.
Inside the dragon dens, there were even invincible existences with eyes like oceans of blood, gazing towards the end of the Underworld River as if they wanted to see the truth behind this vision!
