Chapter 90 Burial World
The Holy Maiden of Yao Chi holds the holy tower on her head and steps on the fairy lotus, with an indestructible protective barrier appearing around her body.

She waved her arms, and ribbons as bright as rivers in the sky flew out from her sleeves, weaving into a magic net around the head of the evil ghost with wings on its back.

Seeing this, Li Zhi's eyes lit up, and he thought, "Is this the secret technique Heaven's Dragnet recorded in the Western Emperor Scripture? It is indeed very powerful."

Just as the Skynet was falling, the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi formed a magic seal with her hands, uttered a Taoist sound, and a round sun instantly appeared above her head.

Afterwards, the sound of mysterious chanting resounded throughout heaven and earth, and the sun released a sacred flame, which directly burned the powerful evil spirit controlled by Skynet into ashes.

"Is this the magic of the Western Emperor Sutra? When used in battle, it can actually enhance the sacred attributes of the cultivator." Li Zhi's understanding of the Western Emperor Sutra deepened a little more.

Although he obtained the four volumes of the "Western Emperor Sutra", he did not obtain any of the protective methods created by the Western Queen Mother to be used in conjunction with the "Western Emperor Sutra".

After dealing with the evil ghost, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi flew to Li Zhi.

A trace of relief flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Changshou, have you also been dragged into this underworld by the black fog?"

Before this, after the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi was dragged into this world by the black fog, she was lucky enough to be at the edge of the black fog and quickly rushed out of the range covered by the black fog.

"Sister Yao Chi, do you know where this is?"

Yao Chi Saintess said: "I have explored this world before. This small world is a thousand miles in radius, and almost one-third of the area is covered by the black fog that can block vision and spiritual consciousness. The rest of the place is full of corpses and ghosts, and there are also many monsters that have transformed from the yin energy."

Li Zhi asked: "Have you found a way out?"

Yao Chi Saint said: "No. It seems that if we want to get out, we can only explore the area covered by black fog to determine if there is a way out."

Flying high into the sky and overlooking the earth, it was just as the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi said, one third of the area was shrouded in mysterious black fog.

In the remaining places, although mountains, rivers and streams were clearly visible, they did not look like what the world of the living should be like.

Everywhere was filled with gloomy and ghostly air. Some plants that only grew in places with strong yin energy were everywhere, as if one had come to the underworld.

In the distance, there is a big river flowing with black water, as if the water in the river is the evil water in the legend.

When I opened my Dharma eyes, I saw death everywhere and not much life.

What surprised Li Zhi even more was that his Dharma eyes could not see through the black fog. He could neither see the vitality nor the death energy in the area covered by the black fog.

Li Zhi came down from the sky and came to the side of the Saint of Yao Chi. He asked, "Sister Yao Chi, are the evil spirits here very powerful?"

Yao Chi Saint said: "The closer you are to the Yellow Spring River, the higher the level of the Yin beasts and evil spirits transformed by the Yin Qi. But as long as you don't actively provoke them, they will not attack you. Longevity, you must block all your own auras. The Yin Qi here is very strange, and it seems to be able to penetrate the protective spiritual mist and directly invade our flesh."

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Sister Yaochi, please show me around again."

Yao Chi Saint Lady said, "This way."

Then, the two of them walked towards the River Styx.

Because Li Zhi saw that the source of the Styx was in the area covered by black fog. If he wanted to find a way out, he would probably have to start from the source of the river.

The two carefully passed through one area after another that looked like burial grounds, and finally came to the bank of the River Styx.

Looking at the yellowish-black river water, Li Zhi opened his Dharma Eyes again to observe the situation in the water.

Then, one could see negative and ghostly energy continuously emerging from small bubbles on both sides of the riverbed, which eventually converged into the Styx, increasing the negative and ghostly energy of the water of the Styx.

After observing for a moment, Li Zhi's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something.

Seeing this, Yao Chi Saint Lady hurriedly asked, "Changshou, what did you find?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Li Zhi's eyes, and he said, "Maybe I know where this place is."

Yao Chi Saint Lady also showed a hint of surprise and said, "Can we get out now?"

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "I'm afraid we can't go out yet, but whether we can go out or not won't affect our future fortune."

"Make a fortune?" The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi was a little confused. It was such a time and she was still thinking about getting rich.

Li Zhi said: "If my guess is correct, this small world evolved from a burial ground. There must be countless ancient corpses buried underground."

"This has little to do with whether we can leave this small world, right?" The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi frowned.

Li Zhi said earnestly: "Sister Yao Chi, whether we can leave this place depends on the value of the ancient corpses buried underground."

The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi instantly understood the meaning behind Li Zhi.

Then, she said, "You have mastered the secret art of Feng Shui. It's up to you to lead the way from now on."

Li Zhi took out the Life God Coffin and said to the Saintess Yao Chi: "In this place, I am afraid that no magic weapon can be as convenient as my Life God Coffin. Sister Yao Chi, let's take my God Coffin and continue our journey."

The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi's cheeks turned slightly red, as if she was thinking of something embarrassing. However, her face was covered by a layer of spiritual mist at the moment, and Li Zhi did not see the change in her expression.

"The internal space of your divine coffin is too small." The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi finally said hesitantly.

Li Zhi said: "This is simple."

With a spell cast, the Coffin of Life directly increased three times in size.

Upon seeing this, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi looked at Li Zhi speechlessly. Since the divine coffin could become bigger, why was it so crowded before? Did he want to take advantage of her?

Li Zhi looked at the enlarged divine coffin and said, "For every increase in the size of the divine coffin, the speed of escaping underground will decrease by three points. This place is only a thousand miles in radius, so the speed should not have much impact."

Then he jumped into the coffin first.

The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi followed closely behind.

After driving the divine coffin into the underground, Li Zhi released his divine consciousness and called upon the power of the wheel sea to begin to sense the situation under the earth.

Soon, they entered a tomb whose Taoist patterns had been almost disintegrated by time.

After entering, the two did not see any corpses, but only some carvings on the stone walls of the tomb.

Yaochi Saint said: "This is a tomb left by a cultivator from the ancient times. It seems that they were not human cultivators."

Li Zhi looked at the place where the coffin was originally placed. Now there was only a pile of mud left. He said, "His cultivation level was not high when he was alive."

Because Li Zhi saw a small section of almost completely rotten remains of a magic weapon in the pile of mud.

Afterwards, the two continued their underground exploration journey.

Almost every burial pit was empty and contained nothing of value.

Sometimes, even the murals and carvings in the tombs have completely decayed.

Neither of them encountered any complete ancient corpse.

Only in some burial pits were the skeletons of some powerful men found, and the essence within the skeletons had been completely lost, making them of no use at all.

But as he searched, Li Zhi discovered something puzzling. In those burial pits that were supposed to be treasures, there was neither death nor life, which was really strange.

When the two found the 352nd burial pit underground, the Saintess of Yaochi suddenly said, "Changshou, do you feel anything strange?"

Li Zhi, who was wondering where the Yin Qi, the dead Qi, and the ghost Qi in the burial pit had gone, asked casually, "What's so strange about it?"

Yao Chi Saint said: "We have found so many burial pits, but not a single one belongs to a human cultivator. They are either great demons or ancient creatures."

Li Zhi said: "It is estimated that this area is a burial ground that existed in the ancient times. At that time, our human cultivators had not yet landed on the ancient Beidou Star."

The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi did not conduct in-depth research on burial sites, so she did not continue to ask.

But after Li Zhi said these words, he was stunned.

An ancient burial ground, and within the ancient site of Yao Chi?
Could this be the place where some imperial master from ancient times left behind to study the method of immortality?
Otherwise, why are there no negative energy, death energy, or ghost energy in so many burial pits?

Some of the monks buried in these large tombs had reached the level of saints or even above saints during their lifetime.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi said to the Saintess of Yao Chi: "Sister Yao Chi, perhaps the area outside the black fog is not worth exploring."

Yao Chi Saint Lady nodded and said, "I also think that our aimless search for clues is a waste of time."

Li Zhi said: "There is no black fog underground. We can go through the area covered by black fog from underground and go directly to the mountain in the black fog."

After so many days of excavation, they did not gain nothing. They learned that in this small world, there was a sacred mountain that stood tall and straight, like a pillar of heaven, hidden in the area shrouded in black fog.

Yao Chi Saint Girl nodded and said, "There seem to be a lot of monsters hidden in the black fog. Going to the sacred mountain from underground is not a bad way to go."

Afterwards, the two returned to the Coffin of Life again.

Start driving towards the area covered by black fog.

When they encountered an underground burial pit again, the two stopped moving forward.

The Taoist patterns arranged around the burial pit had been completely erased by the years.

After the two entered carefully, they found an ancient corpse wearing ancient armor lying inside.

Stars of negative and deadly energy emanated from the ancient corpse, then sank into the surrounding walls and disappeared.

It seemed as if it was sucked away by something.

It was also the first time that Li Zhi directly arrived at the location of the dead and yin energy.

It was actually sucked away by the black fog outside.

It seems that the secret hidden in the black fog is not simple.

After looking at the ancient warrior's costume, the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi saw the word "fighting" on the armor on his body that would turn into powder with a touch.

"This ancient corpse seemed to be a subordinate of the Holy Emperor of Fighting when he was alive."

"Could it be that this burial ground was left behind by the Fighting Saint Emperor?" Li Zhixin thought.

But this doesn't make sense. The Fighting Saint Emperor follows the path of a fighting immortal, so how could he study the method of reincarnation in the underworld?
However, with the discovery of this ancient corpse, the two soon discovered a second well-preserved ancient corpse.

The Saintess of Yaochi discovered the ancient corpse's race from its appearance and said, "This is a cultivator from the Silver Moon Clan during the ancient times."

Li Zhi looked at the body that had lost all its vitality and said, "If we continue to search for the ancient corpse in the underground burial pit, I'm afraid we won't find anything. Sister Yao Chi, let's go directly to the Tianzhu Divine Mountain."

Yao Chi Saintess said: "If the top of Tianzhu Divine Mountain is really a passage leading to the outside world, I am afraid there will be terrifying corpse slaves guarding it. Changshou, do you have any way to deal with the corpse slaves?"

Li Zhi said, "Let's see when we get there."

Afterwards, the two continued to move forward in the Coffin of Life.

But soon, they could no longer move forward, as if they had hit an indestructible iron.

The land ahead was no longer made of earth and rocks.

Li Zhi extended his spiritual sense and directly encountered a layer of barrier.

This surprised Li Zhi a little.

Before this, they had traveled smoothly underground without encountering any trouble.

But I never expected to encounter something blocking the way here.

Afterwards, Li Zhi began to cast a spell through the Coffin of Life to squeeze the nearby soil and rocks, and along the barrier, he created a closed space of several hundred cubic meters under the earth.

Then, he and the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi walked out of the divine coffin.

After the Saint of Yao Chi scanned the barrier in front of her with her divine sense, she was a little surprised and said, "What a solid barrier. It seems to be no weaker than the seal of my Yao Chi hometown."

Upon seeing this, Li Zhi put away the Coffin of Life and took out the Luoyang Shovel.

I tried to dig it out, but it didn't shake the barrier at all.

Afterwards, Li Zhi said to the Saint of Yao Chi: "Sister Yao Chi, I'm afraid we have to go to the surface. As soon as we get to the surface, you must use your Holy Tower to open up as large a fog-free area as possible for the two of us in the black fog."

The Saint of Yao Chi nodded and said, "Don't worry, with the Saint Pagoda protecting us, the monsters in the black fog can't hurt you or me."

"This place is probably close to the sacred mountain, so we'd better be careful." Li Zhi said again.

Afterwards, the two of them used their magic power to blast a passage through the earth leading to the outside world.

But after going out, they were a little dumbfounded.

Looking around, there was a gray-black land and bare rocks, but there was no black fog.

After flying high into the sky, the Saint of Yao Chi looked around and recalled their movement trajectory underground. Then she said to Li Zhi, "Changshou, we were driving underground just now and did not go deep into the black fog area. Instead, we were driving along the edge of the black fog. Our sense of direction was disturbed by a mysterious force."

Li Zhi came to the side of the Saintess of Yao Chi, looked at the black fog area a hundred miles away, nodded and said: "It seems that the road to approach the sacred mountain from underground is also blocked."

He then looked down at the area below.

The more he looked, the more frightened he became. The area within a radius of fifty miles actually formed a feng shui pattern of "a silver dragon sitting on an egg".

In the central area, there is actually a treasure cave hidden that has existed for thousands of years. If the "Silver Dragon Sitting on the Egg" area is expanded to a hundred miles, it might be enough to bury a quasi-emperor.

But an area of ​​fifty miles is enough for any great sage-level strongman to fall asleep.

The people buried here are of extraordinary identities.
