Chapter 1050: Chapter 371: The Greatest Sword of Great Tang (12,000 Words, Three-in-One Chapter)

Upon drawing a moderately unlucky lot, there is a greater likelihood of drawbacks outweighing gains.

As for the Abyss of Still Water mentioned in both the moderately good and moderately unlucky lots, Lei Jun knows it to be a part of the Netherworld.

According to ancient legends, the Netherworld is known as the Nine Springs, also called the Nine Abysses.

The Nine Abysses are: the Whirlpool Abyss, the Still Water Abyss, the Flowing Water Abyss, the Overflowing Water Abyss, the Fertile Water Abyss, the Rushing Water Abyss, the Calm Water Abyss, the Gentle Water Abyss, and the Abundant Water Abyss.

It is worth mentioning that the Nine Abyss True Fire cultivated by celestial cultivators like Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang from the Celestial Master Mansion was related to the Nine Abysses of the Netherworld in ancient times.

However, after countless millennia, through continuous refinement by the sages of the Celestial Master Mansion, their principles and artistic conceptions have become significantly different.

This is Lei Jun’s first entry into the Netherworld.

Had he entered last year during his journey to Sumi, he would still be unfamiliar with the surroundings.

But now, while still a stranger, the place quickly begins to feel familiar.

Not only because his comprehension has risen to a natural level.

But also because the path to enhancing his comprehension was through circulating between Bluestone Drop and the Nine Springs.

Therefore, with the same level of natural comprehension, Lei Jun finds it more convenient and faster to familiarize himself with the Netherworld than Senior Sister Xu Yuanzhen.

At the moment, everything he sees is a bleak gray, cold and desolate, devoid of any life, warmth, or even sound.

Yet Lei Jun quickly discerns the location of the Abyss of Still Water and informs Junior Sister Tang Xiaotang.

National Master Tang has her own Heavenly Heart Clarity Talisman, which, although unfamiliar with the terrain of the Netherworld, can still capture traces of Ji Yao and others.

The direction Lei Jun points, however, differs from hers.

"Let’s pursue separately!" Tang Xiaotang suggested, "Ideally, we can surround and blockade them!"

Lei Jun did not object, but to evade Zhang Taigang and others’ notice, he secretly handed the Celestial Master’s Sword to Tang Xiaotang.

His incarnation as "Chen Donglou" went towards the Abyss of Still Water.

The disciples of Mount Shu, led by Zhang Taigang, naturally pursued their own elder.

"Chen Donglou" didn’t mind them following, and once he reached the Abyss of Still Water and studied the geographical features, he soon had a plan in mind.

Ji Yao, Li Linsnow, and others had entered the Netherworld, rushing back to Fengdu City.

They did not take the path through the Abyss of Still Water.

No one was present here at the moment.

But as the lot suggested, if managed well, it might yield some gains.

This management is something only special individuals can accomplish.

For instance, someone with extraordinary power who has also refined the Nine Springs Ascending Spirit Jue and researched Bluestone Drop and the Netherworld...

Thus, the Nine Springs and Nine Abysses in the Netherworld underwent immense changes.

Ji Yao and others, who were originally taking other paths to Fengdu City, suddenly felt a shock throughout their entire beings.

Then, they witnessed the Netherworld’s necromantic energy violently shaking, as if the heavens had overturned.

Apart from Ji Yao and Li Linsnow, who could still maintain their composure, experts like Lu Changpeng were also thrown into disarray by the upheaval of the Nine Springs.

Enormous waves of Lethe River Water surged automatically, engulfing the surroundings.

Ji Yao used the White Bone Divine Boat to protect the group.

Yet during the chaos, the spaces around the Netherworld and Lethe experienced brief disturbances and teleportations.

Not far away, golden thunder and fire ignited opportunistically.

Tang Xiaotang, an old adversary with whom they had often crossed paths, laughed heartily and seized the opportunity to strike.

The equally massive Pure Gold Divine Vessel Giant Ship also surged on Lethe River.

Once Ji Yao and Tang Xiaotang stabilized the White Bone Divine Boat and the Pure Yang Boat together, they realized the landscapes before their eyes had shifted.

Tang Xiaotang’s unfamiliarity with the surroundings was understandable.

However, Ji Yao, Li Linsnow, and the others were stunned to find themselves at the Abyss of Still Water.

They were still within the Netherworld.

But what immense power and skills could have moved them here?

While Lu Changpeng and others were bewildered and uncertain, Ji Yao and Li Linsnow quickly regained their calm with the support of Mortal Dust Qi.

They easily realized that their opponent’s individual power was not so immense.

Instead, their adversary had, to a certain extent, activated the Nine Abysses of the Netherworld.

Inner Mount Shu Sect, having cultivated in the Netherworld for years, had a deep understanding of the Netherworld.

Ji Yao acted swiftly to stabilize the disturbances within the Netherworld, ensuring they wouldn’t suffer such a setback again.

But he also realized one thing...

"The person who influenced the turbulent Netherworld has come in."

Ji Yao’s gaze swept over the pursuing Tang Xiaotang and the members of the Mount Shu Sect emerging from the Abyss of Still Water.

Unfortunately, there was no time to delve into the matter further.

Fengdu City was still under siege.

It’s quite embarrassing, indeed.

Fengdu City is the foundation of Inner Mount Shu, deeply connected with the Nine Springs.

Therefore, no matter how severe the commotion of the Nine Springs was, Fengdu City remained steadfast in its place, maintaining surrounding stability.

As a result, the martial artists of the Golden Khanate and the monks of the Sumeru Lotus Sect attacking the city were also unaffected...

"Changpeng and the others should first take the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls back to ensure Fengdu is not lost."

Ji Yao commanded, "Uncle Master Li and I will handle things here."

He felt no sense of rage or frustration, his gaze cold to the point of cruelty as it moved between Tang Xiaotang and "Chen Donglou."

Unlike a previous incident in the Tang Dynasty’s human realm, where he entrusted the White Bone Divine Boat to Lu Changpeng and wielded the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls himself to seek Qingxiao Manor, he now made a switch.

The White Bone Divine Boat is his life-bound magic treasure!

This already powerful treasure, under Ji Yao’s personal command, could exert even greater power.

Li Linsnow, without a word, wielded the Netherworld Sword and engaged in combat.

Tang Xiaotang was equally unreserved.

Boat against boat, sword against sword.

As she maneuvered the Pure Yang Boat to collide with the White Bone Divine Boat, she brandished the Celestial Master’s Sword, its purple and gold lightning-dragon-like sword light cutting towards Li Linsnow and the Netherworld Sword.

The National Master Seal shone brilliantly at her waist.

After arriving in the Netherworld, the support the National Master Seal received from the fortunes and earth veins dragon qi of the Great Tang had significantly diminished.
