Chapter 178 Ji Jiuli Enters the Underworld
"Boom boom boom!"
Terrifying bolts of heavenly lightning descended from the sky, thick dark clouds enveloping Qingyun Sect and the surrounding thousands of miles, as if intent on destroying Qingyun Sect.
Shen Nian, Xiao Yuxuan, Nali, and Lei Ziyu stood in the center of the thunderclouds, awaiting the arrival of the heavenly tribulation.
Indeed, after Lin Ning used the spiritual energy of the jade pendant to break through to True God, his mastery of spiritual energy even surpassed that of the Heavenly Dao.
He extracted the spiritual energy from the jade pendant, directly allowing Shen Nian and the other three to break through to Emperor Venerable, reaching the peak of the Emperor Venerable realm in one fell swoop.
If their divine bridges within their bodies hadn't already been broken, the sheer amount of spiritual energy within the jade pendant would have been enough for them to become True Gods!
After all, the demonic fetus had absorbed the spiritual energy of True Gods, not just from one, but from hundreds!
"Heh heh, the Heavenly Dao is truly persistent."
Watching the bolts of heavenly lightning fall, Lin Ning smiled.
He discovered that after eliminating those True Gods, the Heavenly Dao's hatred for him hadn't diminished; in fact, it seemed to have increased quite a bit.
But upon reflection, that made sense; the Heavenly Dao's existence was to maintain the balanced operation of the Desolate Ancient Continent.
Lin Ning's appearance directly disrupted this balance, surpassing the Heavenly Dao's control.
As the current controller of the Desolate Ancient Continent, it would be strange if the Heavenly Dao didn't resent Lin Ning.
"Hahaha, I, Lei Ziyu, have actually become an Emperor Venerable!"
Feeling the boundless energy within his body, Lei Ziyu roared towards the sky.
He felt more and more that his decision to pledge allegiance to Lin Ning back then was the most correct decision of his life; this was much more effective than reincarnation!
Reincarnation still required arduous cultivation; even the most talented individuals would need to cultivate for several years after birth, right?
However, things were different with Lin Ning.
In less than a year, he had directly gone from the peak of Great Emperor to the peak of Emperor Venerable.
This speed was enough to make those Emperor Venerables green with envy!
"Heavenly Dao, just go through the motions."
Raising his head, looking at the thick layers of dark clouds and the rolling thunderclouds, Lin Ning spoke.
A wave of energy transmitted from the firmament to Lin Ning's body.
"Emperor Lin, although you helped me eliminate those True Gods, the necessary rules still need to be in place."
The Heavenly Dao said, "I cannot break these rules because of you."
"Before my birth, the Ancestral God used this method to train those cultivators; it's like a challenge. Successfully completing the challenge can strengthen the physical body and help with future cultivation.
If they can't even withstand this, then there's no point in talking about the future."
Heavenly lightning continued to fall, its contained power extremely terrifying, but for Lei Ziyu and the others, it wasn't much.
Soon, the heavenly tribulation dissipated.
This meant that Qingyun Sect had gained four more Emperor Venerables, and they were all at the peak of the Emperor Venerable realm!
"Lei Ziyu, Master, Senior Sisters, use this time to refine the cultivation techniques you've learned in the past."
After the heavenly tribulation dissipated, Lin Ning reminded them, "Although your cultivation has reached the peak of Emperor Venerable, your techniques are not yet perfect."
"The techniques you cultivate still have many minor flaws and loopholes; only when you refine them to perfection can you be considered to have reached the peak of the realm, and other Emperor Venerables will not be able to compare to you."
Lin Ning was very confident about this.
The higher the realm, the more attention was paid to these trivial details.
"Thank you, my lord, for fulfilling my dream."
Lei Ziyu was full of respect; Lin Ning had fulfilled the greatest wish of his life.
Without Lin Ning, he probably wouldn't have been able to become an Emperor Venerable in this lifetime.
"It's nothing."
Lin Ning waved his hand, "This is just the beginning."
"Once I find a way to connect the divine bridge and break through to True God, I will definitely lead you to become gods."
After watching them break through, Lin Ning went to his own residence.
Flashing back to his room, Lin Ning's expression suddenly changed.
"The aura of the Underworld!"
Lin Ning carefully sensed it; he didn't see Ji Jiuli's figure, but instead sensed a very strong aura of the Underworld.
"Damn it! The Underworld actually took Jiuli away!"
Lin Ning was very angry; someone had actually kidnapped his wife?
On the other side.
The Underworld.
King's Landing City.
Ji Jiuli, who had been directly teleported over by the system, looked at the unfamiliar city with a bewildered expression.
Who am I?
Where am I?
Where is this?
Why did I suddenly appear here?
Ji Jiuli touched her small head, her eyes filled with confusion.
"The aura of death?"
As the Empress, Ji Jiuli had killed many powerful figures in the past; she was very familiar with this aura of death.
The aura of a peak Emperor Venerable instantly erupted, and Ji Jiuli vigilantly observed her surroundings.
On both sides of the city streets, there were many wandering spirits passing by.
Among these wandering spirits, some were very weak, without a trace of flesh and blood, wandering in a state of soul, and even their consciousness was not very clear.
Some wandering spirits had decent cultivation; they were not in a purely soul state, but had skeletons and some flesh and blood, generally better than skeletons.
Ji Jiuli quickly deduced that this place should be related to the dead, and also deduced the rules of these wandering spirits.
The stronger the wandering spirit, the richer the flesh and blood, and the more they resembled humans or certain animals.
"She doesn't have any aura of the Underworld on her; she's a human, a living human!"
Suddenly, a wandering spirit with flesh and blood spoke.
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the surrounding wandering spirits.
They surrounded Ji Jiuli, looking at her with greedy and resentful eyes.
They resented why they, cultivators who didn't want to come to the Underworld, had died and come to the Underworld.
And why a living person like Ji Jiuli would appear in this place of death!
They were greedy; they couldn't see Ji Jiuli's appearance clearly, but they could feel her fresh aura. They craved to devour Ji Jiuli's body, thereby helping them shape their flesh and blood.
"With just you, you want to kill me?"
A pair of bewitching pupils emitted a purple light, instantly petrifying the surrounding wandering spirits; even their souls were frozen in place.
"Chi chi chi!"
Nine tails instantly unfurled, and the soft white fur suddenly turned into sharp silver needles, instantly killing these greedy wandering spirits.
"You're in trouble now!"
The wandering spirits who rushed over from a distance looked at Ji Jiuli with wicked smiles.
"This is King's Landing City; privately killing wandering spirits is against the law!"
Hearing this, Ji Jiuli smiled and said, "They have already died once. Now that they want to kill me, I don't mind letting them die again; this time, their souls will be destroyed."
"Heh heh."
A wandering spirit smiled and said, "What big words! You living person doesn't know the rules of King's Landing City!"
"All the rules of King's Landing City are made by the Guardian! Here, no wandering spirit is allowed to fight privately, let alone kill!"
"Even if the Yin Envoys from the Underworld come, they don't have the right to take the wandering spirits here away!"
The wandering spirits had mocking expressions; they looked at Ji Jiuli as if they were looking at a dead person.
Ji Jiuli also keenly captured the key information from their words.
The Underworld!
"Is this place related to the Underworld?"
Ji Jiuli thought.
Just as she was thinking, a wandering spirit spoke:
"The Guardian is here; you're in trouble now!"
