Two sword auras flew through the mountains and rivers of the new land in the sky. Whenever they met the sunlight, they emitted a brilliant light. Suddenly, one of the sword auras soared into the sky, drawing a beautiful arc in the sky and landing on Yuan Qi's head.

The sword aura disappeared.

Yuan Weiyang stood there, her chest heaving, her face flushed with excitement. She was a bit out of breath, as it was her first time flying on a sword. Despite her decent cultivation, she was exhausted.

Yuan Weiyang was stronger in spiritual consciousness, but her elemental energy was not as profound as Xu Ying's. She could manipulate the sword with her spiritual consciousness and perform more complex and varied sword techniques, but her elemental energy was not deep enough to last long.

Xu Ying was stronger in elemental energy, but his spiritual consciousness was not as strong as Yuan Weiyang's. He was about to stop as well when suddenly, the sword box on his back moved on its own. The sword aura inside the box hummed cheerfully, as if it wanted to fly out of the box.

Xu Ying's heart moved, recalling the situation when he comprehended the sword intent at the Shuikou Temple with the sword aura in the box. He immediately activated his spiritual consciousness and made contact with the sword aura in the box.

As soon as his spiritual consciousness touched the sword aura in the box, it leaped out of the box through his spiritual consciousness. In the next moment, the sword aura surrounding Xu Ying suddenly surged!

"Whoosh!"

His vision went black, but his speed increased significantly. Blood rushed from his head to his feet, causing his brain to lack oxygen.

Xu Ying hurriedly circulated his qi and blood, and his vision gradually recovered. His scalp tingled as he saw that in the short moment of darkness, he had flown several miles and crashed into a mountain!

Now his speed was much faster, about four to five times faster than before. The sword aura broke through the air, leaving behind white air masses!

Behind him, Yuan Weiyang and Yuan Qi exclaimed as they saw the surging sword aura surrounding Xu Ying, thundering and even dragging a stream of sword aura, crashing into the mountain peak!

Xu Ying did his best to control the sword aura with his spiritual consciousness and steer its direction, but he still brushed past the mountain peak!

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

A series of harsh sounds came as huge rocks flew up from the side of the mountain peak, cut off by the sword aura surrounding Xu Ying!

Xu Ying's heart almost jumped out of his throat, but he saw that the sword aura passed by the mountain peak without causing him any harm. He couldn't help but be both shocked and delighted.

"Senior Yuan Tiangang's sword box is indeed powerful!"

His speed became faster and faster, but he also felt that his elemental energy was being consumed at an increasing rate. He quickly said, "Stop! Stop! Stop!"

He tried his best to control the sword aura in the box, which was restless and constantly vibrating. However, he gradually stabilized it, finally gaining a sense of control over the sword aura and slowing down his speed.

However, the sword aura remained restless, occasionally wanting to soar. Xu Ying needed to become more proficient in sword manipulation to fully control it.

After a while, Yuan Qi saw a sword aura circle with a radius of about ten feet flying towards him and couldn't help but shudder. He quickly shouted, "Ah Ying, be careful not to cut a big hole in my forehead!"

Xu Ying spread his arms, and the sword aura around him gently descended.

Suddenly, the sword aura suddenly retracted with a rushing sound, flowing like water, and disappeared into the sword box on his back.

"What a great sword!"

Xu Ying exclaimed, "Why is Senior Yuan Tiangang's sword aura so restless? Could it be that he made himself restless and incorporated it into the sword aura to maintain his calmness?"

Yuan Qi couldn't see his own forehead and quickly said, "How is my forehead? Is it still there? Da Zhong, Da Zhong, tap my forehead so I can hear a sound... Okay, stop tapping, I'm dizzy!"

Xu Ying and Yuan Weiyang were excited and sat down again to discuss, sharing the difficulties they encountered during the flight and improving their sword techniques.

Unknowingly, the sun had set, and the dragon carriage had not yet left the new land. They couldn't see Yongzhou City, let alone Lingling. Zhou Qiyun seemed to have lost his way.

The four divine dragons pulling the carriage were tired, so Zhou Qiyun stopped the carriage and let the dragons rest.

Yuan Qi could finally come out of the carriage and enjoy the breeze, feeling extremely happy.

The place where they rested was a large lake, with shallow shoals and clear water. Yuan Qi swam in the water, creating ripples on the lake's surface, startling the large fish in the lake to jump out of the water.

The giant snake took the opportunity to fill its stomach.

Xu Ying looked around and saw that there were mountains on three sides, with a small hill in the center that was isolated from the other mountains. It stood alone.

The small hill was not high, only about thirty to forty zhang, and not very large. However, there were many ancient trees on the hill, with tree bark resembling dragon scales. Some of the trees seemed to be over ten thousand years old.

Xu Ying walked to the foot of the hill and saw stone statues sitting on the trees. The statues were not tall, with the largest one being the height of a person and the smallest one the size of a fist.

He walked around the foot of the hill and found that the hill was densely packed with such stone statues. There were probably more than tens of thousands of them.

He lifted his foot and was about to go up the hill to take a closer look when he suddenly heard strange murmurs in his ears, as if someone was whispering next to him.

Da Zhong immediately became nervous and made a loud noise to dispel the murmurs in Xu Ying's mind. He shouted, "Ah Ying, don't move! Do you remember the giant creature I suppressed in the well? There are similar things here!"

Xu Ying immediately remembered the situation at the Little Stone Mountain. At that time, when the Naihe invaded, he and the pursuer were trapped in the deserted temple of the Little Stone Mountain. He saw a chain by the well and took a glance into the well, where he saw a pair of big eyes!

At that time, he heard these strange whispers, which caused his mind to be confused!

"It's not just one giant creature here!"

Da Zhong was extremely nervous and muttered, "I sense thousands of giant creatures... How can there be so many? Even at my peak, I couldn't handle it..."

Xu Ying heard this and immediately used his spiritual consciousness to look at the hill.

At this moment, the Heavenly Eye Mirror in his Hiyi Domain shattered with a loud noise. An inexplicable force invaded his Hiyi Domain, evil and sacred, ancient, powerful, and abnormal, trying to completely annihilate his spiritual consciousness!

This power was different from the power of ghosts and gods, different from the power of the Nuo practitioners, and not a worldly power. It seemed to come from another world!

In just an instant, Xu Ying's Heavenly Eye shattered, and his spiritual consciousness was almost destroyed!

At this critical moment, Da Zhong descended from Xu Ying's mind and entered the Hiyi Domain, making a loud noise to resist the invasion of the evil and powerful force!

In Xu Ying's Hiyi Domain, the flame of the Pure Yang Divine Fire suddenly surged, filling the sky and burning the invading force with crackling sounds!

Da Zhong's bell sound resonated, crossing the Divine Bridge, passing through the Jade Pool, descending the Twelve Heavy Buildings, and reverberating back and forth!

It also flew to Xu Ying's Five Viscera Immortal Mountain, refining the abnormal force that invaded the viscera.

The Pure Yang Divine Fire also burned in the air, refining the abnormal force from the mountains.

Xu Ying's mind was still in a daze, with nearly half of his spiritual consciousness destroyed. Yuan Weiyang saw that he didn't look right and gently tapped his forehead with a finger.

Xu Ying felt a coolness on his forehead, and his confused spiritual consciousness gradually gathered and stabilized. He thanked Yuan Weiyang.

Yuan Weiyang asked in confusion, "Xu Yao Wang, why did your spiritual consciousness suddenly collapse?"

Da Zhong's voice was solemn, "It was not just his spiritual consciousness that collapsed just now. If it weren't for me and the Pure Yang Divine Fire in his body, he might have lost his life! Ah Ying, what did you see? How did it cause the invasion of abnormal power?"

Xu Ying looked at the small hill in front of him and was uncertain. He said, "I saw a divine light just now, and the light came from these small stone statues. Each divine light reached the sky, as if connecting to another time and space. And then..."

He shook his head and muttered, "And then, I saw them looking at me, looking at me from another world..."

"Them?"

Yuan Weiyang was puzzled, "Who are they?"

Xu Ying shook his head and asked Da Zhong, "Da Zhong, besides suppressing the girl in the coffin in the well at the Little Stone Mountain, what other giant creature did you suppress?"

Da Zhong fell silent for a moment and said, "A fallen heavenly god who caused mischief in the mortal world. Now that I am seriously injured and no longer suppressing the ancient well in the Little Stone Mountain, that heavenly god is probably like the demoness, escaped. When I recover, I must capture both of them and seal them back in the well!"

Xu Ying fell silent. Heavenly gods, the gods of the heavenly realm.

The plague god, who was driven away by him with a whip, was also a heavenly god from the heavenly realm.

However, when he used the Heavenly Eye to observe the stone statues on this small hill, he was also observed by the other party. At that moment, tens of thousands of eyes noticed him, otherwise his spiritual consciousness would not have been destroyed in an instant!

But where did so many heavenly gods come from?

What is the connection between these heavenly gods and the stone statues on this small hill?

Xu Ying glanced at Zhou Qiyun, who was meditating to restore his energy, and silently thought, "Since Zhou Laozu came here and settled here, he must have a purpose. Could this place be related to the Yin Court?"

After a while, the sun set, and the sky darkened.

The small desolate hill gradually became brighter, and the light became brighter and brighter, shining like candles, illuminating the sky, as if it could reach another world!

Yuan Weiyang, Xiao Bo, and Yuan Qi had never seen such a scene before and looked up at the sky in astonishment. However, what Xu Ying saw through his Heavenly Eye was even more magnificent than this scene!

"The Emperor's Chronicle of the Great Sage Ming Xiaohuangdi records that the emperor and three or two people came to Cangwu, passed through the Guizai Ridge, and entered the Netherworld."

Xu Ying turned around and saw that Zhou Qiyun had stood up at some point and came behind them, also looking up at the small desolate hill. However, at this moment, the small desolate hill seemed to have become towering and far surpassing the nearby mountains!

"The Emperor's Chronicle states that the Emperor entered the Netherworld from here, found the Netherworld Heavenly Court, and had a conversation with the Netherworld Emperor, reaching an agreement to unify the divine and imperial powers in the mortal realm. The Emperor became confused in his old age, causing the prosperous era to be destroyed, and the Netherworld took the opportunity to tear up the agreement and interfere in the mortal realm."

Zhou Qiyun took a step forward and walked towards the mountain, saying, "Today, I am following in the footsteps of the Great Sage Emperor, visiting the Netherworld. You can come with me."

Xu Ying followed Zhou Qiyun, and he couldn't help but ask, "Is Zhou Laozu following in the footsteps of the Great Sage Emperor to renew the agreement with the Netherworld Emperor for divine and imperial powers?"

Zhou Qiyun leisurely said, "If I were the emperor, responsible for the people and the state, I would infiltrate the Netherworld and renew the agreement. But I am not. Emperor Zhang Wudi is still in power, and as his subject, how can I overstep my authority? Wouldn't that be treason?"

He paused and said, "I am here only for myself."

He didn't hide his selfishness at all.

Xu Ying pondered and didn't know whether Zhou Qiyun came to the Netherworld Heavenly Court to prevent interference from the Netherworld when he planned to seize power or to expel the Netherworld's influence on Yongzhou.

Zhou Qiyun led them into the increasingly towering mountain. The candlelight in the sky became brighter, and they climbed step by step. Suddenly, countless divine lights poured down from the sky.

At this moment, both Xu Ying and Yuan Weiyang felt the powerful will and abnormal power from another world descending and injecting into the large and small stone statues!

The stone statues grew taller and larger, and their bodies emitted divine light, reaching thousands of zhang high, sitting on ancient trees that were not inferior to large sophora trees.

They sat on the tips of the ancient trees like birds, their eyes devoid of any emotions, staring at Xu Ying and the others.

Xu Ying looked up at the sky, where the divine light illuminated, forming the dome of a grand hall. However, the vastness of this hall was unimaginable and unbelievable!

"These are the projections of the heavenly gods!"

Da Zhong's bell sound gently resonated, apparently also being stunned by this incredible scene. It whispered, "In my master's era, I have never heard of such a place. What has happened to the Divine Land in the past three thousand years? Why have the Qi Refiners disappeared, and why are there so many heavenly gods forming a grand hall here?"

It had been hanging on the Little Stone Mountain for too long, not caring about the world for three thousand years. It found that it had been idle for three thousand years.

"The Emperor's Chronicle states that this place is called the Heavenly God Hall, which is the path to the Netherworld."

Zhou Qiyun walked in front of them and said, "Ordinary people cannot come here. They will be affected by the majesty of the heavenly gods and fall into madness, killing each other. With me protecting you, you can avoid the influence of the heavenly gods."

His cultivation was unfathomable, and he was also resisting the invasion of the thoughts of thousands of heavenly gods.

Yuan Weiyang whispered, "He is probably stronger than the Great Sage Emperor mentioned in the records. The Great Sage Emperor in the records was not so powerful."

Xu Ying followed Zhou Qiyun and saw that there were cliffs on both sides of the path, with countless crawling bones below. Those bones were affected by the will of the heavenly gods and were still crawling up, not knowing that they had been dead for who knows how long!

He shivered and suddenly remembered something, and a drop of cold sweat gradually appeared on his forehead. "Since this is the Heavenly God Hall, does it have the Plague God? Plague God, do you remember when I whipped you?"

At this moment, a stone statue on a tree slowly turned its head and looked at him.
