Nong Zhu Was Truly Impressed
A relentless barrage of negative emotions descended silently upon Ziyi, especially since she was caught completely off guard. Even with her late Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivation, Ziyi's spirit teetered on the brink of collapse in an instant. She even contemplated suicide...
People whose cultivation has reached the level of Bi Changchun and Nong Zhu already possess incredibly strong Divine Sense and mental power; mere negative emotions are insufficient to significantly affect them. However, the bone-chilling coldness still forced them to use their immense cultivation to resist it!
Bi Changchun was alright; firstly, his cultivation was exceptionally high, and secondly, he had personally experienced the Netherworld Sea of Fire, so he wasn't surprised. Nong Zhu, however, was utterly astonished. It wasn't that she couldn't resist, but rather that she was discovering for the first time that this Netherworld Ghost Fire wasn't hot at all, but rather went to the other extreme of all fire—extremely cold. It truly couldn't be measured by human standards...
The two experts' gazes were fixed on Yue Qianchou when they suddenly noticed Ziyi slumped limply to the ground. Nong Zhu exclaimed, "Ziyi, what's wrong?" He casually tossed aside the cyan flying sword in his hand. In a flash, he teleported over and helped Ziyi up. In that moment of distraction, a torrent of extreme negative emotions rushed into his mind. Nong Zhu was startled. He quickly dispelled the evil thoughts.
"Put away the black flames!" Bi Changchun shouted. Yue Qianchou didn't dare hesitate and quickly withdrew the black flames from his body, then put away the Azure Fire flying sword that Nong Zhu had thrown away. The eerie atmosphere in the room rapidly disappeared, and the low temperature dissipated...
Nong Zhu supported Ziyi, raised two fingers, and instantly a dazzling silver light emanated from her fingertips, illuminating the entire room. She then touched Ziyi's brow, and the silver light slowly flowed in, causing Ziyi to instantly glow with a soft white light.
Yue Qianchou couldn't understand what it was, but Bi Changchun shook his head slightly. This Nong Zhu was indeed deeply in love with his daughter. With a single finger, he had injected ten years of cultivation into his daughter's body without the slightest hesitation. It should be known that ten years of cultivation for a mid Spirit Transformation stage cultivator was equivalent to a hundred years of arduous cultivation by Ziyi.
The Ziyi slowly woke up and saw her master holding her. She shivered and her teeth chattered as she said, "Master, I'm so cold! Am I going to die?"
"Nonsense! Master will dispel your cold." Nong Zhu's eyes instantly reddened, and with a muffled groan, a chilling white flame suddenly erupted from his body, enveloping the Ziyi- clad figure in his arms. The Ziyi- clad figure's tense body gradually relaxed, and color returned to his face. He then comfortably drifted off to sleep.
Bi Changchun frowned and shouted, "Nong Zhu, that's enough. Ziyi is fine; you don't need to burn your cultivation to warm her up."
Yue Qianchou was pondering whether this was the legendary human fire that someone with extremely high cultivation could unleash. Hearing Bi Changchun's words, he was startled. This Nong Zhu was actually burning his own cultivation! Good heavens! Wouldn't he come after me later?!
Nong Zhu ignored him, continuing to burn her cultivation to carefully care for her beloved daughter. Bi Changchun Nong Zhu's back, instantly extinguishing the human flame on Nong Zhu body that had consumed her cultivation. Then, Bi Changchun swung his palm and struck out, unleashing a powerful aura that sent Nong Zhu flying to the side.
"Old Bi, what are you doing?" Nong Zhu immediately got up and shouted. Bi Changchun ignored him, raised his hand and formed five claws. The Ziyi lying on the ground slowly floated up and moved towards Bi Changchun. Her head met the five claws, and five strands of golden energy poured into the Ziyi woman's head from the claw tips. Immediately, the Ziyi let out a soft moan and opened her eyes to wake up.
Nong Zhu's face lit up with joy, and she scurried over. Bi Changchun waved his hand dismissively, Ziyi gracefully landed on the ground, looking around blankly, asking, "What just happened to me?"
"Is she alright?" Nong Zhu asked, still somewhat worried. Bi Changchun sneered, "It's just an external pathogen invading the body. It can be dispelled; is there any need to make such a fuss?"
"Haha! It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright." Nong Zhu chuckled, quickly returning to normal as if nothing had happened. However, the way she glanced at Yue Qianchou seemed to harbor some ill intent.
Bi Changchun waved his hand to clear away the Nong Zhu blocking his view, stared at Yue Qianchou, and asked, "Have you been to the Nine Nether Cave?"
"I went there out of curiosity," Yue Qianchou replied honestly. He had almost caused a major disaster just now. He hadn't expected the black fire to be so powerful, and that Ziyi's cultivation at the late Tribulation Transcendence stage was so fragile in the face of the black fire.
"With your cultivation level, you think you can break into the Nine Nether Cave?" Bi Changchun frowned.
"Is it the Nine Nether Cave? Elder Bi, I can vouch for him; I went in with him." The Ziyi, now fully recovered, stepped forward to testify. Yue Qianchou was taken aback. "I don't remember going in with you?"
Bi Changchun and Nong Zhu looked at each other. Nong Zhu's expression turned serious and she said, "Ziyi, stop talking nonsense. How could you possibly enter the Nine Nether Cave with your cultivation level?"
Ziyi quickly explained, "No, when Yue Qianchou and I left the Demon Ghost Domain last time, we went there on the way. I was outside and didn't go in, but I saw him go in and stay there for a long time."
Yue Qianchou was overjoyed. He was afraid that Bi Changchun would think that he had deliberately concealed the truth. Now that Ziyi had said it, he could explain that it was not that he did not want to tell, but that he had not told the old man until now because he had left last time.
He guessed correctly. Although Bi Changchun didn't care whether he could possess the Black Flame, he was suspicious of why he had deliberately kept quiet. Now, hearing Ziyi's words, he felt somewhat relieved.
"With your cultivation level, how could you possibly reach the Netherworld Sea of Fire?" Bi Changchun asked.
Yue Qianchou scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, "To be honest, Master, I was originally just curious and wanted to see what the legendary Nine Nether Cave was like. But it turned out to be too dangerous inside. Once I went in, it was difficult to even get out. But I accidentally discovered that the green flame on my body could actually suppress the yin wind and Sha Qi in the cave, so I sneaked in like that."
Nong Zhu clicked his tongue in amazement and said, "You're really brave. You actually ventured into the Nine Nether Cave just because of a moment of curiosity?" He had something else in mind that he didn't say, "Even I wouldn't dare to go that far."
"Even if you could get past the first part, with your cultivation level, you wouldn't be able to pass the eye of the storm. How did you get through?" Bi Changchun asked coldly. He held high hopes for Yue Qianchou, but he would never allow the other party to deceive him by exploiting those hopes. If that were the case, how could he entrust the position of Punishment Envoy of the Demon Ghost Domain in the future? It would be better to kill him immediately to avoid entrusting the wrong person!
Nong Zhu knew Bi Changchun quite well, and immediately sensed the murderous intent in his words. She was secretly alarmed and silently fell silent.
Yue Qianchou keenly sensed this and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly locked onto Utopia with his Divine Sense, ready to flee at the first sign of trouble. But on the surface, he still scratched his head sheepishly and said, "I'm afraid people will laugh at my method. I really couldn't get through, so I had to use a clumsy method. I dug a tunnel under the eye of the storm and just crawled through."
"What? You dug a tunnel in the Nine Nether Cave?" Nong Zhu didn't want to say anything more, but upon hearing such an absurd thing, he couldn't help but blurt it out. In fact, he had also been into the Nine Nether Cave, but he just couldn't get past the eye of the storm.
Bi Changchun was also taken aback, and said, "It's all solid Nether Iron inside. How could a tunnel have been dug out?"
"Hehe! Master, you don't know, my Azure Fire flying sword is quite sharp, and digging a tunnel out of the Nether Iron is not a difficult task. I just didn't expect to see Master's..." Yue Qianchou chuckled, then stopped talking shyly.
Nong Zhu asked curiously, "What did you see in your master?"
Yue Qianchou scratched his head, looking like he was keeping his mouth shut, and said, "It's nothing, just a few words."
His words only fueled Nong Zhu's curiosity, and she turned to ask, "Old Bi, what message did you leave inside?"
Bi Changchun ignored him and continued to ask, "Since you have already seen my words, then with the profundity of your fire technique, the Netherworld Sea of Fire should not be able to stop you. Have you seen what the Netherworld Sea of Fire is like?"
Nong Zhu's eyes lit up as she stared at Yue Qianchou. She'd never heard of anyone managing to cross the Netherworld Sea of Fire, and she'd never heard of what happened afterward. Could this kid really be the first one?
"I'm quite curious, so when I got there I couldn't help but go and take a look, and I did go, but I didn't find anything interesting there." Yue Qianchou thought for a moment and said, "There is a huge wall of Nether Iron Mountain with many skull reliefs of different sizes carved on it, and a huge door, but I didn't see anything else of interest."
"The Netherworld Gate!" Bi Changchun and Nong Zhu exclaimed in unison, shocked. The former slowly closed his eyes and sighed softly, never expecting that his disciple would so recklessly break through the place he himself had failed to reach.
Ziyi stared Yue Qianchou, feeling annoyed again. "You've been to such a fun place, and you've never told me about it? You big liar!"
Nong Zhu rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Yue Qianchou! Yue Qianchou, although I dare not say that you are the first in history, you are definitely the only one in the Cultivation World who has played at the Netherworld Gate. I, Nong Zhu, admire you!"
"Senior Nong Zhu, what's so fun about that place? It's eerie and ghostly." Yue Qianchou looked disdainful, deliberately showing off.
"I... you..." Nong Zhu opened her mouth. Speechless, she realized she had nothing in common with this madman, and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "Don't interrupt, tell me quickly, what does the Netherworld Gate look like?"
"It's nothing much. The door is very tall and big, and it's carved with the expressions of men, women, and children, showing joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness." Yue Qianchou said, slapping his forehead. "Oh, right, there are also two Sky Swallowing Beasts with rings in their mouths. They're quite majestic. I thought those Door Knocker Rings were some kind of treasure, so I went to great lengths to saw off the Sky Swallowing Beast's teeth and make a door knocker to play with. Who knew it was completely useless."
