Chapter 524: Northern Profound Hall Master (1)
In Fengdu Ghost City, Jiang Li controlled the Divine Statue clone to fly above the city with Qiu Shui.
Qiu Shui, who was flying for the first time, also showed his nervousness and curiosity at the right time.
This performance made Jiang Li feel slightly relieved. At the very least, this person was still a crippled mortal without the strength to truss a chicken.
Apart from his persistence towards suffering and his extraordinary mental state, he also had human nature and heart.
Flying at high speed would make his single leg unstable. The bustling city below would also make his heart, which had never left the sewers, palpitate.
As long as he was a mortal, there was a chance.
However, soon, a compassionate expression appeared on Qiu Shui’s face.
His pitch-black eyes looked down. His eyes seemed to be able to see through the bustling surface of the Ghost City and see the crowded Fengdu Prison below.
Those painful voices seemed to be telling him that that was where he should stay.
The Karma Cleansing Lotus lowered its height and entered the underground ruins of the Chang Le Palace through the hidden passageway.
…
The magnificent palace and ancient flags stood firmly in this unknown space.
In front of them, they quickly saw an inverted tree growing upside down.
The Nine Nether clone, who had taken root in Fengdu City, lived quite comfortably. It was not inferior to the space in the coffin.
“Brother Qiu Shui, that’s the core spiritual wood of our Fengdu City. It can grow a rare spiritual fruit.”
“Your body has been malnourished for many years. One pill might be able to heal your body.”
Jiang Li pointed at his clone and introduced him.
Qiu Shui, whose eyes were pitch-black, raised his eyes to look at the Nine Nether Wood. Regarding this huge tree that was growing in reverse, there were still two huge trees sitting with their backs facing the statue. His eyes revealed a sense of familiarity and two doubts.
“This tree… what’s its name? I think I… saw it a long time ago.”
As for the Nine Nether clone, who was sleeping on the spot and refining the Nine Nether spiritual qi, he felt a chill and woke up.
He felt a very annoying gaze.
The eyes of the statue on the tree opened. Following the gaze, it looked back and met the pair of pure black eyes. Immediately, the entire tree shook.
“What did I bring back?”
From the instincts of the Nine Nether Branch, a desire to kill the other party arose. At the same time, he had the urge to run.
It was as if… he had seen an irreconcilable enemy.
The Nine Nether Wood clone would not have such a huge reaction when he first saw the Ghost Lantern Fish.
Now, he actually had such strong emotions towards a mortal.
Jiang Li naturally sensed the change in the Nine Nether clone.
That instinct of hatred and fear seemed to be inherited from the Nine Nether Main Branch.
Although the spiritual root, Nine Nether Wood, had its intelligence forcefully erased, its many years of memories had already turned into instincts and been passed down.
This was the first time the current Qiu Shui had left the sewer cell. It was naturally impossible for him to interact with the Nine Nether Wood in the Netherworld.
He did not have the ability to cause such a huge psychological trauma to one of the ten great Connate Spiritual Roots.
Then, perhaps Qiu Shui’s previous life had done something wrong.
The reincarnation of Qiu Shui had done something very overboard to the Nine Nether Wood in ancient times.
As a result, the Nine Nether Wood lineage left behind a deep hatred that they would never forget.
He might be involved in removing the intelligence of the Nine Nether Wood and transforming it into the framework of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Through the eyes of the Divine Statue clone, Jiang Li looked at the thin youth standing on one foot beside him, and he confirmed the identity of the other party’s reincarnation.
This guy was an impressive figure in his previous life.
A guy who could cross the long Cultivationless Age and leave behind a trace of himself was definitely not a nobody in ancient times.
The orthodoxy was related to enduring and saving suffering. It was very familiar with the Nine Nether Wood or the Netherworld, and it was a Buddhist mighty figure.
Moreover, he had a dog called Shanting.
Could this guy be that person?
“Master Ananda, why are you looking at me like that?”
“Don’t worry, before saving the ghosts in the dungeon, I won’t give up!”
Qiu Shui’s expression was abnormally firm. He could not wait to find the entrance to the Fengdu dungeon.
Jiang Li withdrew his gaze in embarrassment.
A Nine Nether Earth Fruit flew over from ahead and was caught by a Buddhist hand.
In his mental world, the Nine Nether clone was shouting, “Don’t come over!” He was still very resistant to the crippled youth.
Jiang Li naturally could not make things difficult for himself. After catching the Nine Nether Earth Fruit, he flew down.
However, looking at the Earth Fruit in his hand, he suddenly felt that this thing might not be useful.
Controlling the lotus platform to land in front of the five halls in the center, the lotus platform phantom disappeared. Qiu Shui’s single leg felt the coldness of the stone slab on the ground.
He, who was even worse than a beggar, looked out of place in this ancient palace.
These five halls were originally the Central Jade Hall, Eastern Green Hall, Southern Flame Hall, Western White Hall, and Northern Profound Hall. Later on, the hall in the middle was shattered by Jiang Li and became the Human Emperor’s Hall after recognizing him as its master.
The City Lord’s stone monument inside allowed Jiang Li to easily subdue many Ghost Kings and strengthen Fengdu City.
Apart from that, there were also four halls that did not have a hall master yet.
