Chapter 255: Chapter 253: The Seventh Pillar of the Sky­reaching Pillari

One after the other, the two of them dashed toward the entrance to the Netherworld as if in flight.

They were truly panicking, having thought that once this passage was opened, they could safely come through, only to sense a horrifyingly supreme aura upon arrival!

Following the aura, they both saw a face of exquisite elegance, yet the calm gaze it bore sent chills down their spines, as if they had fallen into an icy cavern.

What was there to hesitate about? Of course, they had to escape back to the Netherworld!

Li Cheng did not stop them, simply frowning slightly, “To think that the Ghost Venerable would come right after the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture Stele was taken, it really shouldn’t be taken!”

Having said this, Li Cheng swept over to the entrance.

“It is said that the Netherworld, like our Yang Realm, has endless star domains, countless stars, and also has a Divine Path that leads to the Divine Realm,” Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan commented as he too landed by the entrance.

The Spirit of the Heavenly Book picked up the conversation, “That’s only natural. Hence, death is not the end but a new beginning.”

Li Cheng grabbed the stele and put it back in its place, saying, “The Ten Thousand Aspects Immortal Emperor has fled and will certainly return to the Kunlun Realm from the Three-way Abyss. It’s a pity that I cannot sense his aura, otherwise, it would be possible to follow him and find the route he knows.”

Entering the Three-way Abyss depended on the connection between Bai Xian and the Wordless Heavenly Scripture.

If now they were to leave with the Wordless Heavenly Scripture, then Bai Xian would also be unable to open this passage again.

This was a vexing issue -unless they chose not to bring the Wordless Heavenly Scripture when leaving.

But he had already promised the Spirit of the Heavenly Book and Bai Xian, and moreover, bringing the Wordless Heavenly Scripture to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect for a hundred years would be greatly beneficial to the sect. “There is only one path to enter the Three-way Abyss, and I know where it is!” The Spirit of the Heavenly Book stroked his long eyebrows with both hands and laughed.

“Oh?” Li Cheng and Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan looked at him together.

The Spirit of the Heavenly Book chuckled, “The Three-way Abyss is named for its routes leading to the Kunlun Realm, the Divine Realm, and the Netherworld. In ancient times, when the Three-way Abyss was destroyed, the route from the Kunlun Realm to the Three-way Abyss was not demolished, but like the road to the Netherworld, it was sealed up.”

“In ancient times, the Chaos Clan forged the Tower of Chaos. The leftover materials were used to create nine Sky-reaching Pillars, and later, a powerful being obtained these pillars and arranged them into the Nine Palaces Town God Array to guard the core region of the Kunlun Realm, which is today’s Divine Palace Region.”

Nine Palaces Town God Array?

Divine Palace Region?

“Do you mean to say that the vast Divine Palace Region is actually within this huge array?” asked Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan, surprised.

“Haha, no need to be surprised. In epochs past, a powerful being arranged 129,600 array eyes, protecting the entire Kunlun Realm!” laughed the Spirit of the Heavenly Book.

Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan was even more astonished, and Li Cheng was secretly impressed, knowing that he was not capable of creating such a formation.

If what the Spirit of the Heavenly Book said was true, then the being who arranged to protect the entire Kunlun Realm must be one of the mightiest deities!

Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan regained his composure, “So you say, the entrance to the Three-way Abyss is in the Divine Palace Region?”

The Spirit of the Heavenly Book nodded, “Exactly, the entrance to the Three-way Abyss is within the Divine Palace Region!”

Li Cheng was taken aback. The Divine Palace Region was so vast; the words of the Spirit of the Heavenly Book were as good as saying nothing! However, judging by the Spirit’s confident demeanor, it seemed that he knew the exact location.

“Elder, could you be more specific?” Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan inquired.

The Spirit of the Heavenly Book cleared his throat, “I’ve been here for too long and do not know the current situation of the Divine Palace Region, so 1 can only confirm that the entrance is within it, but the exact location will require further investigation.”

Li Cheng and Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan exchanged glances. In this case, perhaps it would be faster to force an answer from the Ten Thousand Aspects Immortal Emperor directly.

That fellow surely knew where the entrance was.

Alternatively, finding the Spirit of Realm, who would undoubtedly also know, was an option.

However, the Spirit of Realm had lost its Spiritual Wisdom, retaining only its instincts, so even if they found it, questioning it would not be easy.

“It’s not a problem. After all, nothing much is going on in this Three-way Abyss, and whether we come here or not doesn’t make a big difference,” said Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan.

Not far away, Emperor Qing, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, had a pale face. He had been seriously injured earlier and was only now stabilizing his condition, saying, “It seems you have forgotten about me!”

Right!

Emperor Qing had been here for many years, so he must have come in through the entrance, which meant he certainly knew where it was.

“Awake? What did that scoundrel Ten Thousand Aspects do to you? You haven’t been refined into a clone by him, have you?” Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan joked.

He was, of course, aware that Emperor Qing was not a clone of Ten Thousand Aspects, but he was merely teasing.

Emperor Qing heaved a sigh, “It’s a long story. Anyway, I owe you my thanks for today!”

“If it’s a long story then speak for a while, we have plenty of time!” said Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan, not pleased.

This fellow had disappeared for over a hundred thousand years and intended to dismiss it with just ‘it’s a long story’?

Emperor Qing obviously had no intention to elaborate and looked at Li Cheng instead, “Daoist Li Cheng is impressively powerful, I hold him in high esteem…”

“Hold on there, he is the Eighteenth Elder of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, and he’s your grandson Qing Yun’s master. Now, even your son Qingxuan is with the Heavenly Mechanism Sect,” Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan cut off Emperor Qing.

Emperor Qing was stunned, joy appearing in his eyes, “I’m a grandfather now?” “Complicated, isn’t it?” sighed Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan, mimicking Emperor Qing’s tone.

Emperor Qing was speechless and shook his head repeatedly.

Seeing that he was unwilling to talk, Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan did not press him and instead said, “Let’s get out of here first. This Three-way Abyss has nothing but darkness, and the oppressive feeling is too strong.”

Li Cheng naturally had no objection. After all, the purpose of his visit had been achieved, and he had unexpectedly acquired the Judge Pen.

At that moment, the Judge Pen was quietly hovering in the Fire Mysterious Realm, having absorbed all of that white mist back into itself..
