Dong!
Dong!!
The fragrance of flowers knocks on the door.
Upon looking again, it is no longer the fragrance of flowers, but rather the images of the Netherworld’s Yama, Meng Po, Judge, Oxhead and Horseface; the Other Shore Tree is a flower on this shore, but a returning soul on the other shore.
And the Ninth Heaven was originally the Netherworld, the very bottom of the former Nine Heavens was the dwelling place of the Six Paths of Reincarnation...
Now, the souls of the Netherworld approach this gate, naturally taking shape.
They... want to return.
Po Xu Yuzhuang as well.
She has already felt the opportunity.
And just at this moment, a great change suddenly occurs.
On the verdant Sea of Suffering, ghostly lights abruptly appeared, and hundreds of figures emerged in succession.
[Nine Nether Tribulation Array]
Countless ghostly lights spread in all directions, the light suddenly adjusted, all shining towards Song Yan sitting in the center.
The light illuminated everything within, every detail clearly revealed.
Bai Wa said, "This array is the power of the post-saint, targeting the intense obsessions..."
As she spoke, she glanced at Po Xu Yuzhuang.
Undoubtedly, Po Xu Yuzhuang’s body is a powerful source of obsession.
"It’s the Black Empress."
Bai Wa quickly identified the newcomer, saying, "He wants to devour Bai Zhuang."
However, Song Yan was not flustered.
He moved his fingers slightly, and the entire Sea of Suffering suddenly began to boil.
[True Word Creation Array]
The scene of the former Star Raft market reappeared, ancient stone slabs flying chaotically, words like swarms of fish and tadpoles dancing across the sky, eerie ancient characters forcibly prying open people’s consciousness, inserting them within.
The ghostly light precisely made these words clearer.
"The Ghost Gate opens, believe not. Door cracks, glimpse the Netherworld. White bone hand, delights in life. Hand not yet reached, spirit congeals first."
"Blood moon rises, do not light a lamp. Shadow moves at window, calls your name. Empty bed echoes, harbors an apparition. Apparition laughs, bone seams chill."
"Paper money flies, do not pick. Ash stains hand, print hall ash. Midnight drum, coffin moves. Drum stops, you replace."
Line by line of text appears, terrifying power surging in all directions like a tide.
The great array just manifested, and among the hundreds of figures, more than ten were devoured by ghostly hands, dragged below.
At this moment, huge mirrors reappeared behind the ghost lights...
In the mirrors, all the words on the stone slabs appear inverted.
This inversion is not only of the words, but also of the content, and the meaning.
[Inverted Mirror Tomb Array]
The effect is singular, born to restrain the Wa Saint’s technique of words as commands.
In the distance, Song Taixuan stands on a huge mirror, quietly watching Bai Wa perched on Song Yan’s shoulder.
Mantras subverted, suppressed.
Yet in the next moment, [True Word Creation Array] burst out with even greater power.
At this time the entire Sea of Suffering had almost become Song Yan’s array range, how could an array be reversed?
The gates of the Netherworld were open...
Po Xu Yuzhuang’s gaze pierced through the Nine Heavens, slowly steadying, and suddenly, her body began to change, her lips slightly parted, tendrils extending, and the entire tree trunk emerged from the body of Miss Yuzhuang.
The tree roots cradled Miss Yuzhuang, carefully handing her over to Song Yan, saying, "Father, take care of Mother, the gates of the Netherworld are open, I... I must go down. I... will find Mother."
Whoosh!
Whoosh!!!!!!
The roaring sound overturned heaven and earth, the massive Other Shore Tree began to wither.
The door remains unopened, and the Other Shore Flower withers.
One by one, Other Shore Flowers transformed into countless divine spirits of the Netherworld.
These divine spirits surrounded Po Xu Shahua like stars supporting the moon, integrating her with the entire Netherworld, her realm rapidly ascending to a terrifying level.
"Father, I am going."
Po Xu Shahua, encased by the divine spirits of the Netherworld, descended downward.
However, while the many gods are spirits, Po Xu Shahua is physical. At the Fourth Desolate Heaven, the boundless power of the Earth Element seemed to find its target, rushing towards her madly.
Po Xu Shahua struggled to resist, yet could hardly descend any further.
Shua...
At this moment, a figure suddenly swept in from afar, along with the endless tide of Netherworld ghosts, descending down to the tree struggling in the gale, then opened its mouth.
Po Xu Shahua entered inside and quickly took root in its body, merging into one.
This figure was the third "Song Yan", the third one performed through the Celestial Calculation Dao’s "One Becomes Two, Two Become Three".
This third "Song Yan" stayed in Purple Cloud Heaven, observing the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth daily, examining the myriad phenomena of the Human Realm.
Unlike the "Human Realm Song Yan" with the "words become reality technique", or "going to Upper Realm Song Yan’s Three Lifetimes Body with the technique of breaking techniques with force", he cultivated the Five Elements Dao, precisely applicable here.
"Father..." Po Xu Shahua’s resistance suddenly lessened considerably.
And the Five Elements Dao Song Yan had the Five Elements begin to rotate around him, taking his daughter with him further down to knock on the door of the Ninth Heaven.
Song Yan then turned his gaze back toward Song Taixuan and the Bai Family Patriarch.
....
....
In the void.
Three vast shadows tightly surrounded the central power, the latter already powerless to resist, nearly on the brink of being devoured.
"Something happened in Purple Cloud Heaven."
"Blood River and I will have a look."
...
...
A year later...
The [True Word Creation Array] covering the entire Sea of Suffering continued to annihilate Black Wa, as well as the Bai Family patriarch who was the "Black Empress".
Yet, at some point, rain began falling again over this Sea of Suffering.
In the rain, dragon shadows vaguely soared.
The purifying Blood River quickly stained the Sea of Suffering red.
Though the two Saints had not occupied the "Three Realms’ positions", they were not something Song Yan could contend with.
However, at this moment, Bai Wa suddenly leaped out, swallowing Song Taixuan in the distance.
At this moment, another sudden change occurred.
The great door of the Ninth Heaven was thunderously pushed open.
