Chapter 186: I will take away a hundred years of your life as a warning to others! In the far west, on top of an island mountain. Wang Yuchi stood there with a pale face. Sure enough, the records in the ancient family books were true. Under the Tongtian Stele, not to mention the gods, even immortals find it difficult to enter. Only the power of the underworld can penetrate in. This is because when living beings die, their souls dissipate and return to the underworld. This is the cycle of heaven. Even the Tongtian Monument must retain this glimmer of hope. Since they are connected, there are naturally ways to borrow its power, but the price to pay is much higher than the outside world. Even if there are statues of gods as guides and countless lives as sacrifices, in the end one has to give up a part of one's soul and lifespan as a price. Looking inside the temple, I saw that the spirit was faint and the golden light was gone. Looking at the Daotai world again, life is dim everywhere. Strands of white hair crept up his temples. He picked up a strand of white hair with his hand and took a look at it, then turned to look in the direction of Daqian, his eyes full of murderous intent and hatred.

"I've sacrificed my cultivation and a hundred years of my life in exchange for your life. Gu Yuanqing, you should die with your eyes closed!" How could he not hate it? The lifespan of the divine platform is eight hundred years, and he is already over six hundred years old today. He has wasted a hundred years of his lifespan, and his soul has been damaged. He is afraid that he will never have the chance to enter the Void Sky Realm again. If it weren't for the Xuan Guang Mirror's constant warnings and the approaching threat of death, he would never have taken this step! …… Gu Yuanqing stood up and walked out of the house. After feeling carefully, he found that the coldness did not come from the body, but from the soul. There was another kind of aura around here, and this aura was different from all the ones I had seen before. It was cold and dead silent, without any life at all, and the chill contained within it could not be dispelled. "Someone attacked me. Was it Wang Yuchi?" Just at this moment, the scenery in front of me changed, and a dark road stretched into the distance. Countless people with blurry faces were holding lanterns and clearing the way in front. There was a word "牛" on each lantern. There seemed to be an ancient voice with vicissitudes of life shouting: "The King of Hell is coming, all living beings kneel down and worship!" Then, eight divine and strange horses with black flames burning all over their bodies walked in the air, pulling a huge ghost chariot, slowly approaching. On both sides, soldiers wearing helmets and armor and holding sharp swords, either on horseback or on foot, protected Pluto's chariot in the center. "Pluto? How is that possible?" Gu Yuanqing's expression changed slightly and he was horrified. I am not too unfamiliar with this word. Even in the floating world, there are legends about it, but everyone just regards it as a legend. In this world, it is said that when a person dies, it is like a light going out; that one is born in heaven and earth and returns to heaven and earth. However, he found some related records in Gong Xin's relics, and there were also a few words about it in the Nine Nether Purgatory Sutra; Zhang Xuanlin also talked about this matter. This world is independent of other worlds and connected to all other worlds. However, Wang Yuchi is only at the ninth level of the divine platform. How could he possibly appeal to the Hades at this level? Anyone who can be called the King of Hell has great magical powers, and their targets are all immortals and gods above the heavens! Gong Xin had also cast a spell at the beginning, but he was only borrowing a wisp of magical power, which was completely different from the king's current trip. Gu Yuanqing tensed his body, the Taoist fire on his body burning fiercely, merging with the power of Beiquan Mountain. In the divine court, the divine platform formation was shining brightly.

The carriage stopped and the aura of eight strange horses rushed towards him, making Gu Yuanqing a little breathless, but these horses seemed to be above heaven. "Are you Gu Yuanqing?" an old and rough voice came. Hearing this voice, Gu Yuanqing's heart sank even more. If it was a secret method to borrow supernatural powers, he would definitely not be able to speak. Even if this was not the real body, it was at least the incarnation of Pluto. He took a deep breath, clasped his fists and said, "That's right. I wonder what the Hades wants to do?" "There are believers who say that you are extremely evil, tyrannical and unjust, hated by both humans and gods. In accordance with the ancient covenant, I will arrest your soul and bring it to the underworld for punishment. Do you have anything to say?" Gu Yuanqing didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that there was a hint of ridicule in the words of Hades. However, facing a superior of this level, Gu Yuanqing did not dare to slack off and said in a deep voice: "This is pure slander. I, Gu Yuanqing, have never killed anyone in my life. Since I started practicing, I have been practicing in this mountain and never involved in worldly affairs. How can I be so vicious and tyrannical? Please judge for yourself, Hades." "Since I have come here at the request of Gu Qi, I cannot return empty-handed. Whether you are guilty or not, follow me back to the underworld and I will judge you!" As he spoke, an iron chain burning with black flames broke through the air from the frame. Gu Yuanqing didn't even have time to react before he was chained. This chain was not locked to the physical body, but directly penetrated into the body and locked to the soul. The blazing black flames on the chain wrapped the soul. Then, a huge force came, trying to pull Gu Yuanqing's soul out. Gu Yuanqing's expression changed drastically, but even if he was facing the King of Hell, how could he be willing to surrender? With a thought, he triggered the blessing of Guanshan Yuwu, and in an instant he entered the deepest level of unity with Beiquan Mountain. At this moment, his soul and Beiquan Mountain are one. To pull his soul is equivalent to pulling the entire Beiquan Mountain. Not to mention how powerful Beiquan Mountain itself is, it is rooted in this world, and this world is suppressed and shrouded by the Tongtian Monument. To directly pull away Gu Yuanqing's soul is almost equivalent to competing with the power of this world and the power of the Tongtian Monument. "Huh!" A surprised voice came from the carriage, but they did not stop there, instead their force became stronger. In an instant, the entire Beiquan Mountain and even the entire realm began to tremble slightly. Gu Yuanqing's expression became ferocious. He had never used up all his strength and all his powers like today, but facing an opponent at the Pluto level, he still felt that he would be taken away at any time. The two forces were in a stalemate for an unknown amount of time. Gu Yuanqing's spirit had already become dim and exhausted. It seemed that he could no longer maintain the state of unity between man and mountain. His strength began to rapidly decline. Suddenly, he had an illusion that as his own strength weakened, the power transmitted from the chain also weakened, and everything was maintained in a state of extreme balance. When he realized this, the chain suddenly loosened and flew back into the carriage. The old and rough voice sounded again, and he said indifferently: "Since the Soul Locking Chain cannot take away your soul, it means that Ruyang's life span has not yet ended and his sins are not serious. Well, this king has come here in vain!" As soon as the words fell, the eight horses turned their heads and slowly drove away. Ripples gradually appeared on the deep road and then slowly disappeared, as if everything before was an illusion! Gu Yuanqing gasped heavily, his eyes full of surprise! Just now, he was sure that he would not be able to hold on for another moment, but just at that moment, the opponent suddenly gave up and retreated. He couldn't understand why this happened. Could it be true, as he said, that my sins were not serious enough? He stood there for a long time, looking inward, and suddenly froze. "No, my soul seems to be different from before!" Although his soul was exhausted and dull, it suddenly gave him a feeling of extreme purity and concentration, as if it had directly risen to a higher level compared to before. "Could it be that under the full-scale confrontation, the spirit was tense, the man and the mountain became one, and the power of the soul was stimulated and transformed?" This may be the most reasonable explanation, but Gu Yuanqing feels that it is not that simple. He sat cross-legged, returned his consciousness to his mind, and carefully felt the changes in his soul. Suddenly, he discovered something different.

There was a different kind of aura within the soul, which seemed to fill in the previously undiscovered defects in the soul, causing the entire soul to undergo miraculous changes. It was this change that made him feel more in tune with his body, Beiquan Mountain and this world, and there was no distinction between them. "This……" In an instant, he seemed to understand something. My soul is not from this world. Even though it has been integrated with the body since infancy, it is still an outsider in the end. Therefore, there is an imperceptible veil between the soul, the body, and the world, which was not noticeable until today, after being completed. He opened his eyes and stared blankly at the direction where the passage to the underworld had just appeared. Was this Hades really coming to capture him? Could all this be a coincidence? Obviously, Gu Yuanqing didn't think this was a coincidence, everything was fishy. In the far west, on top of an island mountain. Wang Yuchi stood in front of the altar and waited quietly. He looked up in the direction of Beiquan Mountain, then looked at the three incense sticks that had only a small piece left, and frowned slightly. After so much time, why haven't I heard a response? Facing the power of Hades, even if a ray of magical power descended, how could a monk on the divine platform resist it? It should have ended long ago. After some time, the three incense sticks were about to burn out. There was suddenly a breath of air on the statue with a bull's head and a human body. Wang Yuchi quickly bowed and prostrated himself: "Follower Wang Yuchi greets Lord Pluto." An old and emotionless voice sounded. "You are dishonest and try to deceive others. I will take away a hundred years of your life to serve as a warning to others!" Wang Yuchi's expression changed drastically when he heard this. "No, Lord Pluto, the believers have no..." The aura on the statue has disappeared, and along with it, a trace of aura from Wang Yuchi's body has also disappeared. Wang Yuchi's body couldn't help but tremble and he fell to the ground. He raised his hands, only to see that they were lifeless and full of wrinkles. When he looked at himself with his spiritual mind, he saw that his hair was full of white and he looked very old! Click! On the altar, the statue shattered. When Wang Yuchi saw this scene, his Taoist faith almost collapsed. He couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes. He could feel that his life was coming to an end and the crisis of death was about to come at any time. The Xuanguan Mirror glowed and flew out automatically without being controlled. The entire screen of the mirror was covered with the word "凶", and the color had changed from bright red to dark red! Wang Yuchi got up, roared to the sky, and shouted and cursed. "Why? I set up the altar, offered my souls, and respectfully offered sacrifices. I kowtowed to you three times and nine times, but you didn't do anything for me, and instead you took my lifespan and disobeyed the ancient covenant. What kind of shitty underworld god are you?..." There was no response from the sky. Wang Yuchi suddenly couldn't help but burst into tears. From a ninth-level cultivator on the divine platform with a bright future, he became a candle in the wind in the blink of an eye. What a huge blow it was to him! (End of this chapter)
