Deep inside the bamboo pavilion, there was also no one.
"Sister Ziyin? Sister Ziyin?" He called everywhere.
But Ye Ziyin was not found here.
The cave was empty, and there was no one else except him.
Shi Hao was a little confused.
Shi Hao came out of the cave and wandered around in Yuanshi Cave, calling out to the two of them.
Arriving at a lake, Bai Lan asked, "Master, what happened?"
Shi Hao was stunned for a while... His two wives were gone!
These two ladies are so old, and they were still here last month!
Shi Hao didn't quite understand where they could go.
Yuanshi Cave Heaven is very large. He walked back and forth, passing through the ruins and even reached the White Jade Bridge.
The Milky Way came from afar and passed under the white jade bridge.
The immortal gate in the center of the white jade bridge was difficult to approach due to the strong wind.
He stood by the bridge, looking out, wondering if they had started fighting again, and fell down together while fighting
If they really fell off the White Jade Bridge, even they would probably not be able to come back.
But... it shouldn't be that serious, right
The two of them have been fighting for so long, and they are inseparable, but they are both alive and well.
Although they have been enemies for life, they have a deep grudge against each other.
But with their wisdom, they would never die together with each other.
But other than that, he couldn't figure out where they would go.
Or... did they pass through the fairy gate and enter the Yaochi fairyland ahead
Although twice in a row, they both used him as a medium to pass through the fairy gate and enter the fairyland of Yao Chi together.
But that doesn't mean that they can't get over it on their own without him.
It's just that the two of them were wary of each other, and without him as a buffer, they couldn't trust each other and therefore couldn't cooperate.
Could it be that this time, they can really put aside their guard, pass through the fairy gate together, and reach the other side of the Yao Chi fairyland
Although this possibility cannot be said to be completely eliminated, it is indeed very, very small!
The two of them have been fighting each other for so many years, how could they really let down their guard
Shi Hao left the Baiyu Bridge and walked aimlessly among the ruins, feeling a little lost.
Since entering Yuanshi Cave Heaven, every time they came here, they were waiting for him.
This made him feel that no matter how wild he was outside, when he returned home, his two ladies would never leave him.
But this time, he didn't see anyone... Where did they go
Did they really find a way to leave Yuanshi Cave Heaven? Or did they go to some more mysterious and unknown area
Will I still have a chance to meet them
His heart was in a mess and his mind was foggy.
He felt that he had many things to tell them, about the Sea of Sin, about Penglai, about the legend of Chang'e... and so on.
He was unwilling to give up, so he continued to search... After all, Yuanshi Cave Heaven was so big, and there were still many places he had not searched.
Maybe they were hiding somewhere, trying to scare him
Bai Lan was very surprised to know that the two hostesses were missing. He didn't know how to comfort his masters, so he also searched everywhere through the underground river.
Like this, more than ten hours passed.
At this moment, Shi Hao was already in despair in his heart. He hadn't seen them for such a long time, it seemed that they were really gone.
Boom! Suddenly, there was an explosion somewhere in Yuanshi Cave Heaven.
The explosion was not actually very loud, but Yuanshi Cave was originally very quiet, so the sudden explosion still scared him.
Shi Hao leapt up and flew towards the direction of the explosion.
When I got here, I looked around but didn't see anything unusual.
— a building that was already falling apart, rocks rolling... but that was all.
He couldn't see anything unusual, but something must have happened here.
—A piece of gravel rolled to his feet and stopped.
He looked down at the rubble, then raised his head and glanced back and forth.
There was a burning smell in the air, and there were crackling sounds and black threads moving around, followed by another vibration.
This time the vibration was not loud. The space shattered, and with a whoosh, two figures flew out.
Who else could it be if not the Holy Fairy Ye Ziyin and the Fire Charm Su Xi
Ye Ziyin was wearing a long purple gown, had a slender figure, a Taoist bun on her hair, and was holding a sword.
Su Xi was still wearing a peach-pink long gown and a bun, but her collar was loose and her waist was slender. Her left arm was still draped with a light pink armband that went around her shoulders and then around her right arm.
Looking at him, Su Xi smiled and said, "You're here."
Shi Hao was surprised and asked, "Where did you go?"
Ye Ziyin said: "Yuxu Sect."
Seeing Shi Hao's puzzled expression, Su Xi smiled and explained, "Didn't I tell you before? Below Yuanshi Cave Heaven is Kunlun Mountain, and there is only one immortal road between Kunlun Mountain and Yuanshi Cave Heaven. There is an immortal gate on the immortal road, and that is Yuxu Gate.
"This Yuxu Gate can only be opened from the Kunlun Mountain side. The Immortal Road is extremely unstable, and we dare not enter casually. If it collapses, it may cut off the connection between Yuanshi Cave Heaven and Yuxu Gate. So we didn't wait for you to see it. We will wait until you go to Kunlun Mountain and open it from the other side of Yuxu Gate."
Shi Hao asked: "Then why did you suddenly run over again?"
Su Xi spread his hands and said, "That immortal road has changed recently. A ball of black gas overflowed from this side of Yuxu Gate, forming a narrow space crack. I don't know where that space crack leads to. I can faintly hear a lot of noise on the other side, and there is also the overflow of the netherworld Yin Qi.
"From the looks of it, it seems that some big shot on the other side of the Netherworld wants to use some unknown method to open a path to enter here. We are quite interested in this, so we quietly waited near the space crack, waiting for the passage to open, to see who is on the other side and what they are doing.
"Just now, something went wrong on the other side, and there was an explosion. Energy was transmitted through the space crack. We were worried that the immortal road would be destroyed, so we had to work together to send the energy upwards. When we looked again, the space channel that was about to take shape was destroyed, and the people on the other end were probably almost all dead."
Ye Ziyin pondered and said, "I did hear someone on the other end mention the three words 'Yan Mo Huang' earlier. Someone used the order of Yan Mo Huang to order the troops on the other side to speed up their progress. I wonder who this Yan Mo Huang is?"
Shi Hao shook his head and said, "I have never heard of the King of Hell in the human world. But I have heard someone say that there is no King of Hell in the underworld, but there is a demon of the underworld. I wonder if this 'demon of the underworld' is the King of Hell?"
Ye Ziyin looked at him and asked in surprise, "Where did you find out about this underworld?"
Chapter 404: Extraordinary Progress, Beauty in the Waterfall
Shi Hao is about to go to Xuanming Cave to search for the Twin Worlds Lotus, and tells the story of his encounters with Hong Leichi, who is ranked first on the blacklist, and Tang Ruomei, who is ranked fourth.
He said, "These two people seem to be involved with the underworld. They were going after the 'Princess Kongming' at the time. Hong Leichi's men awakened the Agubians in Xuanming Cave. Tang Ruomei said that the underworld had already been in trouble, so where did the King of Hell come from? He must have colluded with the underworld demons."
Su Xi said, "Princess Kongming? Hmm, I have heard of this name. I heard that she lives in a place called the Sea of Love and Sin in the underworld. This matter is recorded in the underworld scriptures of the Ghost Sect. There are not many words about her in the underworld scriptures, only that there are countless infatuated men and women throughout the ages. Their love is as high as the sky, so their sins are also as deep as the sea.
"The place where their sins gather is the sea of sin. Love is boundless, so the sea of sin is boundless. The Guiji Sect is the one that has the most connections with the underworld among the demon sects. No one knows where this underworld book came from, and it is difficult to tell whether what is recorded in it is true or false. But it turns out that there really is such a Princess Kongming?"
Ye Ziyin said slowly: "I don't know much about the underworld, but the reason why the Double World Wonderful Lotus grows in Xuanming Cave is because its depths can connect the Yin and Yang worlds. I once passed through the Double World Stone and saw a Wuyuan Palace, but the palace door was closed.
"I carefully guarded the boundary between Yin and Yang, never went in, and left very quickly."
Shi Hao had a headache: "Back then, the Ghost Sect wanted to open the Ghost Gate in Daxing City to form a den of ghosts on earth. Could it be that they wanted to let the Yama Emperor in?"
Su Xi smiled and said, "That's hard to say! Each sect of the Demon Sect has its own purpose, and these purposes are their beliefs. Some of these beliefs have been passed down for a long time, and even they themselves don't know what the consequences will be once they are realized."
Ye Ziyin snorted coldly.
Shi Hao remembered that Yue Jiao was now in the underworld and had become the "Princess Kongming" on the Sea of Nie, and he was secretly worried.
Judging from various indications, the current situation in the underworld is probably no better than that in the human world.
Now it seems that even the two ladies in the original cave don’t know much about the underworld, so he has no way of finding out.
He said, "By the way, I am now in the Jueduan Sea in the East China Sea. I wonder what the situation is at the bottom of this Jueduan Sea?"
Ye Ziyin was surprised and asked, "Why did you go to Juedian Sea?"
Shi Hao then told the story about the mirage in Pengjing.
Upon hearing that the Tianying Immortal Mansion had been destroyed, Ye Ziyin felt a little sad. After hearing what those people in Pengjing Mirage had done, she frowned slightly.
Shi Hao looked at Su Xi and said, "Madam, you already know that the residents of Pengjing Mirage Tower are descendants of the three thousand boys and girls that Xu Shi took to the sea that year?"
Su Xi smiled and said, "This is not difficult to guess!"
After Shi Hao finished telling the whole story, Su Xi said, "So, the first emperor Ying Shi Huang found out that the fairy Chang'e had escaped from heaven with the immortality elixir, so he asked Xu Shi to go out to sea to search for her? No wonder, no wonder!"
Shi Hao asked in confusion: "There are many secrets in the Pengjing Mirage. Why did Madam let them go without conducting a detailed investigation?"
Su Xi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Those people are corrupt and although they have mastered certain secrets of longevity, their martial arts achievements are nothing special. Naturally, I don't have much interest in them. Besides, I had just unified the Demon Sect and was still conquering the underworld. They were far away overseas and were not my target. I just went over to take a look because they were too mysterious."
Ye Ziyin said calmly, "In fact, I have also been to Pengjing Mirage, but I did not enter. Instead, I went to Jueduan Sea. I went deep into Jueduan Sea to see what was going on, but even I could not reach the bottom. I was about fifty miles below the bottom of the abyss, but I still could not see the bottom, so I came out."
Shi Hao was secretly astonished. Being able to go more than fifty miles deep into the Juedian Sea and come out safely, this kind of ability, for a mortal, is almost like being a god.
Even if you go more than fifty miles deep, you still can't see the end. The depth of the Jutsu Sea is truly beyond imagination.
Ye Ziyin continued, "However, at the ends of the four seas, there is actually an abyss where seawater flows in, but it never decreases. This shows that the water vapor between heaven and earth always keeps circulating. So I guess that the abysses of the four seas are likely to converge into one place, and then return to heaven and earth in some way, so that hundreds of rivers flow endlessly, forever and ever."
Shi Hao thought for a moment, "It is indeed possible."
Su Xi stared at him: "So, in order to save those three sisters, you also got the elixir of immortality?"
Shi Hao already knew that with his abilities, it would be better for him not to hide anything from them.
One lie needs to be covered up with more lies, and with his level of ability, it will be useless in front of them.
So he did not hide the fact that he had "rescued" the three sisters Ruoxin, Xiaoyan and Xiaoque.
After all, under the circumstances at that time, he had no better solution.
Ye Ziyin and Su Xi are not ordinary people. In their opinion, it is only natural to take emergency measures in this kind of situation.
Shi Hao expressed his understanding of the "elixir of life". In his opinion, the so-called elixir of life is a miraculous medicine that can greatly enhance a person's essence.
No one knows how this elixir of immortality was made, it is definitely not something from this world.
Ye Ziyin said: "Essence is the essence of a person. Logically speaking, a person's essence is determined after birth. No matter how you practice after that, it is just to strengthen your body and spirit. The closer you get to old age, the weaker your vitality will be, and the heavier your death energy will be.
"Only immortals can create a miraculous medicine like this that can make people immortal. However, even the immortals who created this kind of medicine were reduced to ashes with the collapse of the heavens. Such a catastrophe is truly extraordinary."
Su Xi smiled and said, "The key is that the sacred tree is the product of the immortality elixir and the spiritual water that flows out of it has combined with the Saint Princess. It has already undergone a transformation. Even after going through that bullshit 'ceremony', it can still make people immortal. The complete immortality elixir can probably really make people live for thousands of years and never die."
She rushed to Shi Hao and took hold of his wrist.
After a while, he said: "You have relied on the power of the immortality medicine to cultivate your essence and transform it into qi. Your foundation has reached the fifth level, which is also a miracle.
"According to this, once you have completed your advancement, you can go find the Kunlun Secret Realm."
Then he asked, "By the way, why didn't Little Jade come in with you?"
Shi Hao said: "Before that, I was traveling around Jiangnan, helping Jiangsu and Zhejiang resist the barbarian army coming south, and she stayed in Yuelian Tower. Later, something happened suddenly, so I rushed directly to the East China Sea and did not take her with me."
Su Xi said, "Forget it! Come with me first, and I will tell you the location of the Kunlun Secret Realm. After you advance to the fourth level, you will be able to go to the Kunlun Secret Realm, enter the legendary Kunlun Fairy Mountain, and then open the Yuxu Gate from the other side."
At that moment, Shi Hao followed Su Xi to the partially collapsed palace.
Ye Ziyin went to the other side to look for Bai Lan.
Shi Hao followed Su Xi into the Gaomen Gate. Suddenly, Su Xi turned around, grabbed his collar, pressed him down on the white jade couch, and said with a smile, "I don't know if there is any difference in your strengthening your body and nourishing your essence after you got the power of the immortality elixir?"
Shi Hao asked, "Madam, do you want to taste it?"
Su Xi laughed and said, "Good fellow, I am also your master. How can you talk to your master like this?"
Shi Hao said: "Master, you took the initiative first. It is rude not to reciprocate. I, your disciple, cannot let you bully me."
"You've grown wings!" Su Xi pressed him down, "Don't forget how you begged me to let you go last time."
Shi Hao said: "Even if a man has been away for three days, he should be looked at with new eyes, not to mention that a month has passed in the human world now."
Su Xi snorted and sneered: "I didn't expect you to be so confident. Then let me see how much progress you have made."
As they talked, the two of them exchanged blows, each showing off their unique skills. Before Shi Hao left last time, he had learned the masculine method and Xuansu Heart Sutra from Sister Ziyin.
