Chapter 2165 - 2165 Path to the Netherworld
2165 Path to the Netherworld
The Martial Dao Prime Body was well-versed in Buddhism and was no stranger to the term Bo Xun.
That name had been mentioned many times in the ancient books of the Buddhist monasteries.
Ancient Fiend Bo Xun was the oldest, strongest and most terrifying fiend in the Buddhist monasteries!
He existed in the same generation as the Buddha.
Legend has it that when the Buddha was born, Bo Xun descended as well!
Living together with Buddha!
It was said that back when Buddha was comprehending the Dao beneath the Bodhi Tree, Bo Xun led 8 billion fiend cultivators to obstruct Buddha’s cultivation and a war between Buddhas and fiends broke out!
This was an extremely ancient war that happened countless eras ago even in the upper world.
Perhaps it was when the upper world first opened up and all living beings reproduced and lived savagely.
No one knew about the situation of this battle. However, the outcome was that Buddha attained the Dao and Bo Xun suffered a crushing defeat.
Previously, he was still confused when he saw that record in Tianhuang Mainland.
Now that he thought about it, there was a high chance that the Buddhist and fiend battle back then was a fight between two peak Emperors.
Eventually, Buddha became a Great Emperor and Bo Xun was defeated.
If Buddha was the supreme ancient Buddha of the Buddhist monasteries, Bo Xun was the utmost of the oldest fiends!
The fact that Heavenly Wolf’s master dared to call himself Bo Xun and share the same name as the oldest Fiend Emperor was proof of how ambitious and bold he was!
Unfortunately, this Emperor who was only a half-step away from becoming a Great Emperor failed and died in the Pure Land of Bliss.
The Martial Dao Prime Body pondered in silence and recalled what Heavenly Wolf had said.
Heavenly Wolf was the Weapon Spirit of the Mara Mask.
As for the Mara Mask, it was created by the Seven Emotions Clone.
Only obsession could sever the seven emotions.
That was the reason why Heavenly Wolf understood the Fiend Obsession Section created by Emperor Bo Xun—it was all for the sake of controlling the Mara Mask.
Everything made sense now.
Back in Tianhuang Mainland, the Martial Dao Prime Body had already sensed that Heavenly Wolf had a powerful background.
The silver mask was one of the reasons.
More importantly, Heavenly Wolf was extremely stubborn and only submitted after being burned and imprisoned by his four flames for thousands of years.
Now that he thought about it, it was understandable.
In his previous life, he was the Seven Emotions Clone of Emperor Bo Xun, a Fiend King.
Even though he was reborn as a Weapon Spirit later on, he was also an Emperor weapon. It was only natural that he had pride and was unwilling to submit to others.
Compared to his previous master, the Martial Dao Prime Body was indeed way too different.
“Brother Yan, you heard it too. Since things have come to this, you can only survive after cultivating the Fiend Obsession Section.”
When the Martial Dao Prime Body knew the origin of the Fiend Obsession Section, he was relieved and persuaded Yan Beichen.
Yan Beichen remained silent.
The aura of death shrouded him and he was despondent.
In the depths of his heart, he no longer had any desire to survive.
The Martial Dao Prime Body sighed internally and said in a deep voice, “Heavenly Wolf told me that there’s indeed a netherworld in the upper world! You’re not the only one. I want to head to the netherworld to take a look as well and settle one of my worries.”
He was still thinking about Ji Yaoxue.
“For real?!”
Yan Beichen’s eyes lit up and he seemed to have gained some strength. He struggled to stand up and asked, “If there’s truly a netherworld in the upper world, where is it? How can I head to it?”
“Fufu…”
In the Mara Mask, Heavenly Wolf suddenly scoffed.
The Martial Dao Prime Body knew that there was definitely something going on and hurriedly sent a message with his spirit consciousness to shut Heavenly Wolf up.
Pausing for a moment, he attempted to explain, “I… don’t know either. No matter what, as long as we’re alive, there will always be a chance.”
“That’s right, true!”
Yan Beichen nodded with a glint in his eyes as he said to himself, “Not everyone can enter a place like the netherworld. There must be a requirement for one’s cultivation realm!”
“I want to cultivate. If a Fiend King won’t cut it, I’ll cultivate to become a Fiend Emperor. If a Fiend Emperor won’t cut it, I’ll cultivate to become a Great Emperor. One day, I’ll be able to enter the netherworld and look for Pianran.”
At that thought, Yan Beichen looked at the Martial Dao Prime Body. “I’ll learn!”
“Alright!”
The spirit consciousness of the Martial Dao Prime Body moved and he asked Heavenly Wolf to impart the Fiend Obsession Section to Yan Beichen.
Yan Beichen had the Hatred Sutra as a foundation and his hatred was strong. When he cultivated the Fiend Obsession Section, it was as though he had divine help and he entered a state of epiphany.
In the ruins, he sat on the ground. The hatred and obsession in his body transformed into wisps of black qi that circled around his body.
The injuries on his body were healing at a visible speed!
Even the cracks on his Essence Spirit were shrouded by the hair-like black qi, as though they were mending.
The white sable seemed to have realized that Yan Beichen would not die. At this critical juncture of his cultivation, it became extremely quiet and sprawled beside Yan Beichen obediently.
The Martial Dao Prime Body retreated a few steps and sent a voice transmission with his spirit consciousness, “What were you laughing about earlier on?”
“I was laughing at his ignorance,”
Heavenly Wolf’s tone was mocking. “Throughout history, I’ve never heard of anyone who could find where the netherworld was or enter it while they are alive.”
The Martial Dao Prime Body frowned slightly.
“There’s only a single way to enter the netherworld…”
Heavenly Wolf paused for a moment and chuckled. “Death!”
“If he’s dead, he’ll naturally enter the netherworld. A living person can forget about entering the netherworld. It has nothing to do with his cultivation realm.”
“How certain are you?”
The Martial Dao Prime Body asked.
Heavenly Wolf said, “Aren’t the Great Emperors of history strong? Don’t they have high cultivation realms? I’ve lived for so long but I’ve never heard of any Great Emperor who entered the netherworld when they were alive.”
The Martial Dao Prime Body was silent.
According to Heavenly Wolf, even if the netherworld existed, Yan Beichen and Qin Pianran would not be able to reunite.
Qin Pianran had long reincarnated and the two of them were separated by Yin and Yang.
Naturally, he would not say those words to Yan Beichen.
After all, this was Yan Beichen’s hope to survive. The Martial Dao Prime Body did not want that bit of hope to be destroyed.
Yan Beichen was temporarily out of danger.
The Martial Dao Prime Body began to think about his future as well.
For him, the most important thing right now was not to continue plundering resources, but to create the next Martial Dao Dharmic formulation!
He needed to enter seclusion to comprehend the Dao.
It was an extremely long process.
It could take thousands, hundred thousands, several hundred thousands of years or even eternity.
However, no matter what, the Martial Dao Prime Body could only continue.
From the moment he stepped on this path, it was destined that he would never be able to turn back—he could only move forward alone!
When he saw Yan Beichen’s encounter, the mental state of the Martial Dao Prime Body underwent many changes.
Initially, he had no intention of establishing any faction.
However, at that moment, he had the thought of establishing a faction in the Fiend Domain!
That way, he would have a greater chance of finding his old friends from Tianhuang Mainland who had ascended and obtain more information about them.
Furthermore, the stronger the faction and the more manpower they had, the more cultivation techniques and secret skills they could collect.
This was extremely important for him to create the next Martial Dao Dharmic formulation!
But now, he had to enter seclusion to comprehend the Dao and could not do it himself.
The matter of establishing a faction and expanding one’s territory had to be handed over to someone trustworthy and powerful who could do whatever he wanted in the Fiend Domain.
Naturally, Yan Beichen was someone who could be completely trusted. After cultivating the Fiend Obsession Section, his cultivation realm and combat strength would increase rapidly as well.
He was completely qualified to become a great general of the battlefield and conquer all bloody battles.
However, it was not suitable for him to lead a faction.
Yan Beichen was entangled with hatred and obsession and could not make a rational judgment most of the time.
“This person will be…”
The Martial Dao Prime Body’s heart skipped a beat and he made a decision.
