Chapter 227: The Secret of the Underworld God

"The destiny lies in the sky, and the destiny lies in the people. Change your destiny against the sky and follow your own heart." At this time, King Greedy Wolf seemed to be touched by something, and a voice suddenly spoke in Wu Yan's heart. He only heard him continue: " Little brag, I have been observing you during this period. Your character is not like that of a human cultivator. From what I have seen when traveling through the three realms, all human cultivators cut off their worldly ties early on and focused on one thing. In order to achieve this goal, you can even kill your parents, wife and children with your own hands, in order to cut off all the karma and earthly connections that may hinder your Taoism. You seem to be afraid that your karma is not enough. It's like wanting to cherish the relationship between close relatives and the relationship between teachers and students. You know, there will be more karma in cultivating immortals, and this destiny will be scattered along the way of cultivation. If you go down, how far can you go?”

Wu Yan responded in silence. The Greedy Wolf King is right, he is indeed such a person. He simply cannot give up on his closest relatives, his brothers, and his friends. After pondering for a long time, Wu Yan smiled self-deprecatingly and asked: "Does it mean that a cultivator of immortality really has to abandon all emotions and be ruthless in order to achieve great success?"

"The Taoism practiced by your human race is too complicated for me to understand. Whether it is true or not has nothing to do with me. However, I feel that your temperament is very similar to the nature of my demon clan. We, the monsters, will love if we want, live and die if we want, hate if we want, we are unstoppable. If we are always worried about this, then we should abandon it. Living in this world is too boring, even if we can live forever, what's the point. ?" King Greedy Wolf sneered a few times and couldn't help but say.

Wu Yan thought for a while and smiled bitterly: "What you said is easy. You demons are born to be powerful, and your lifespan is much longer than that of our human race. Even if you don't need to practice, you are more accomplished than the human race's immortal cultivators. In the past, we had to live for a long time, so of course we didn’t have to worry about it. Thinking about us humans, life is like an ant, a ephemeral fly between heaven and earth. If we don’t fight for the chance of life, the spring and autumn will pass away in the blink of an eye and return to the dust, and we will cease to exist. I really like what I said. If we really give up everything in order to live forever, then even if we finally reach the state of immortality, the things that are worthy of our cherishment and nostalgia will have been lost or even ceased to exist. What’s even more cruel is that if you can’t leave even a little bit of good memories, then it’s really lifeless.”

"That's why I, the Great King, tell you, 'The way of luck lies in heaven, and the way of fate lies in human beings. If you go against heaven and change your destiny, it's up to your own heart.' The way of heaven has its own rules, and you and I are born within them. There is no way to violate them. But, Although the road is ruthless, fortunately, the fate of practitioners has changed. As long as you can move against the current and go upstream, it is not impossible to change your destiny against the will of heaven." The artistic conception in the tone of King Greedy Wolf was too profound and mysterious. Wu Yan seemed to understand but was confused for a moment.

However, what King Greedy Wolf said next made Wu Yan suddenly wake up and beam with joy.

"My great king is destined to be with you, and there is a method that can solve your current difficulties. However, this method will bring more harm than good to you, but I don't know if you dare to do it."

"Senior Greedy Wolf, if you can really solve the current difficulties of this junior, you might as well speak up. Since I, Wu Yan, dare to think, I will definitely do it." Wu Yan suddenly realized that Greedy Wolf seemed to be able to solve his current worries, and he immediately accepted it with joy. asked.

"According to this, there is a dangerous place thousands of miles away, called the Devil's Valley of Tianjian Mountain. There originally grew a soul-nurturing ancestral tree that was regarded as a sacred tree by the demons and demons in the world. However, this tree was destroyed by immortals thousands of years ago. It was destroyed by thunder during the battle between demons. Unknown to outsiders, this tree was actually not completely dead. This tree was born with nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine ancestral roots. As far as I know, this tree still has one ancestral root that is still alive. If you can find this ancestral root and implant it into the Heaven and Earth Furnace, you can not only save the tree, but also cut off a section of the tree's rhizome and use a secret method to make the Yuanhun Tablet. Underworld magic, after their physical bodies die, their souls can live in this Yuanhun tablet. As long as their souls can receive incense offerings every day and practice their skills every day, it is impossible to say that they can one day become ghosts and immortals, or even ascend to the upper world. It's not impossible." King Greedy Wolf said calmly.

After hearing this, Wu Yan's eyes were filled with shock, and he sat on the bed blankly, his face uncertain, and his right hand kept rubbing his chin, lost in thought.

King Greedy Wolf didn't know why he mentioned this to Wu Yan, but after saying this, he seemed to know that this matter would have a huge impact on Wu Yan's heart, and Wu Yan might not be able to fully accept it for a while.

"According to what senior just said, if I really do this, what will be the consequences?" Wu Yan pondered for a long time, his face was now calm, and he asked in a calm voice.

"This move can be regarded as reversing the fate of others, which is against the way of heaven, and will naturally be punished by heaven. However, the way of heaven is impermanent and unpredictable, and it will not descend to the lower world for no reason. Your move will inevitably be contaminated with more serious karma, and you will be able to survive tribulations in the future. At that time, I'm afraid the disaster will be much more severe than that of ordinary people," King Greedy Wolf said in a faint voice.

"Senior Greedy Wolf, do you have such an underworld technique?" Wu Yan asked calmly.

"Of course, the last time I made an agreement with the Amitabha Buddha, it was for him to do what I asked him to do. I taught him a method of the underworld. This method is called the Secret of the Underworld. If you can master it, you can achieve it. The Great Path of Ghosts and Immortals. Why, are you really determined to taint the great karma of your clan?" King Greedy Wolf said in a strange tone.

"Don't worry about that, Senior. Senior Tan Lang, what do I need to exchange this Dark God Technique with you?" Wu Yan asked with a calm smile.

"Haha, you are just bragging, but you have good understanding. You also know that the Great Dao cannot be passed on lightly, and if it is passed on, it will inevitably be contaminated with cause and effect. However, although this king is not afraid of this cause and effect, it will more or less cause a lot of trouble when I return to the upper realm in the future. As for the conditions, I will tell you when you go to the Devil Valley of Tianjian Mountain. There is no rush now." King Tan Lang laughed with satisfaction.

Wu Yan frowned habitually, rubbed his nose, and showed a bitter smile. After thinking for a while, he said: "Since you said that passing down the Great Dao skills will inevitably be contaminated with cause and effect, then what should you say about passing on the 'Saint Demon Clone Method' to me, Senior?"

"That is the cause and effect of others, and it naturally has nothing to do with this king." King Tan Lang said indifferently.

After he said that, Wu Yan really couldn't say anything else. After thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, I'll make this deal. Senior, please tell me the Dark God Technique now. I have to pass it on to my father and mother before I leave."

Since Wu Yan had already agreed to the conditions, King Tan Lang did not drag his feet and immediately passed on a profound and obscure Dark Dao technique to Wu Yan. Wu Yan was afraid of any omissions, so he immediately took a blank jade slip and recorded it. When he encountered something he didn't understand, he didn't hesitate to ask King Tan Lang on the spot, and recorded what he got on the jade slip.

The great way is simple. This Dark God Technique has only a thousand words in total, but its profound and obscure parts may not be clearly explained even in ten thousand words. It is conceivable how difficult it is to pass on such a set of Dark Dao techniques to parents who were born in rural areas.

However, his younger brother Wu Shan has been very hardworking these years. Although he is a martial artist, he has also studied a lot of books and classics in these years. I think he will pass them on to him. With him always by his parents' side, this should be a little easier. In the future, he will have to offer incense to his parents' Yuanhun tablets day and night, so this skill will naturally be passed on to him.

After recording the jade slip, Wu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He felt tired and lay down on the bed casually and slept in his clothes.

In the next few days, Wu Yan talked with his parents and his brothers, sisters, and nephews every day, and was extremely happy.

More than ten days later, on this day, Wu Yan called his parents, his younger brother Xiaoshan, and his younger sister Wu Duo to the quiet room, set up several magic arrays and prohibitions, and solemnly and without reservation passed on the Mingshen Jue skill to the four of them.

When the four heard that Wu Yan actually had a great skill that could cultivate into a ghost fairy, they were immediately shocked, but then they were ecstatic. Especially the elderly and gradually weakened Wu's father and mother were even happier. After all, there are few people in this world who really want to die. If they can keep their souls, they can even become ghost immortals on land. No mortal would not want to do that. Thinking back to the time when Wu Yan had just achieved a small success in Qi Refining and was about to leave his hometown to seek a greater immortal fate, Old Man Wu had asked him these questions. At that time, Wu Yan was just a small cultivator in the Qi Refining period. How much vision and knowledge could he have? His family had no spiritual roots, so he naturally couldn't help his family. But now it is different.

The five members of the Wu family immediately hid in the quiet room in the back hall every day in secrecy, and studied the Dark God Technique seriously. In addition to passing on the law, Wu Yan repeatedly warned the four people that this method was unpredictable and must not be leaked to any outsiders, otherwise they would be killed.

A month later, Wu Yan left behind a batch of elixirs and the underworld magic weapon Chixie Flag, which had restored some of its power, and the method of using it. He bid farewell to his parents and relatives and left.

After leaving his hometown Wujiashan City, Wu Yan changed his appearance and traveled all the way, constantly running around in the famous markets in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains to find out about some strange and bizarre Qi-refining materials and ancient magic weapons.

A month passed quickly. On this day, a black and white sword light pierced the sky and landed in a mountain covered by clouds and mist. The light disappeared, and a young man in a black robe fell into the valley below the mountain with a helpless look on his face.

This person was Wu Yan, who had returned from traveling to the four famous markets in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains. Over the past month, Wu Yan has been to all the markets in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, and even to some of the more remote markets in the nearby counties. What makes him quite helpless is that although he has found out about the materials for refining the "Small Five Elements Killing Sword Formation" with five flying swords, he has not been able to get them this time.

What makes him even more depressed is that he has also tentatively asked about the materials for refining the "Big Five Elements Immortal Execution Sword Formation", but everyone he asked, without exception, regarded him as a lunatic.

It seems that if he wants to condense a magic weapon, the invitation of Zhu Junhao from Tianjianguan Jialou City is inevitable.
