The King of the Underworld Returns

Tiger Lord frowned slightly. "Perhaps it's one of the younger members of that person in the Mountain."

The ape demon stared at the location of Beiquan Mountain, its red eyes gleaming with golden light, and said, "Tiger Lord, your eyes can pierce through the nine heavens and the netherworld. Have you learned anything about the background of the humans in this mountain?"

Tiger Lord turned his head and smiled, "Your demonic eyes are no less powerful than mine. Have you seen anything?"

"I can't tell."

"Me too. Otherwise, that person from Demonic Dragon Mountain wouldn't have suffered a loss at his hands. This person's origins are unknown and unfathomable, far beyond the reach of the Human Race of this world."

"A fierce dragon crossing the river?"

Tiger Lord laughed and said, "Since they are dragons, then it's a battle between two dragons, and naturally it should be the Demonic Dragon Mountain's responsibility. There's a saying among Human Race that's quite true: when the sky falls, the tall ones hold it up. We are merely Royal Race; why should we charge in too fiercely?"

The Ape Demon grinned. "Brother Tiger, your words resonate with me greatly."

"Let's go ask the Human Race. To be honest, I'm quite curious about what they're up to."

On Bamboo Mountain.

Xiong Mo and Xiong Ba also sensed the presence.

"Judging from the Tribulation Qi, the Heavenly Human World of the one undergoing the tribulation is exceptionally vast, but it is unknown why it suddenly disappeared."

"Perhaps they are not ready to undergo the tribulation yet."

"The Demon Ape and the Tiger Lord went to the Human Race together. The last time something like this happened was seven hundred years ago when Yan Zongsheng was preparing to break through to the Yin Yang Realm."

"Alas, these are turbulent times. Since the Demonic Qi has grown stronger, this world has no longer been at peace," Xiong Mo sighed softly.

"What are these people and demons thinking all day? Wouldn't it be better to just lie down and eat? All this fighting and killing is so boring." As he spoke, Xiong Ba took out a piece of emerald green bamboo from his storage bracelet and crunched on it. Before leaving, he asked, "Boss, how about we go to the Mountain and exchange it for some Zen-Heart Ink Bamboo? I haven't had it for over ten years, and I'm really craving it. The taste is different from other bamboos; it's incredibly sweet."

Xiong Mo stood up abruptly, and with a snap, knocked Xiong Ba to the ground, snatching the bamboo along the way. "All you ever do is eat!"

Xiong Ba roared in fury, "You hit me, fine, but you even stole my bamboo! Don't think that just because you're the clan leader and were born a little earlier than me, I'm afraid of you!"

In the North Spring Mountain, all those who were cultivating were startled and lost their will to continue their practice.

Countless Cultivator in the distance couldn't help but look towards the location of North Spring Mountain.

The Heavenly Tribulation had just witnessed, with its aura that seemed capable of destroying everything, sent shivers down their spines—a feeling they had never experienced before.

"Everything is alright now, everyone can focus on your cultivation!"

Gu Yuanqing's voice echoed throughout North Spring Mountain and even to all the surrounding places.

Upon hearing this, the group of Cultivator finally felt relieved.

Decades have passed, and North Spring Mountain has become a sacred place in the Human Heart. Gu Yuanqing's prestige on the mountain has unknowingly reached an extremely high level.

The intense, almost blinding, scent of Incense Power that permeates the area surrounding North Spring Mountain is a testament to this.

Li Shi'an and the others breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that the Motion and Stillness earlier was due to Gu Yuanqing's change in temperament.

However, the people in the Floating World only realized that Gu Yuanqing was no longer paying attention; his attention was focused on the Cultivation World.

He suddenly sensed a heartbeat coming from this realm.

Judging by the time, it was more than ten days earlier than the sound of the Black Tortoise's heartbeat. He guessed that it must have been the Tribulation Qi that had just gathered that had awakened it.

To him, this Black Tortoise was far more important than the Demon Realm.

For him, the only enemy of the Demon Realm was the Demonic Dragon that had been dormant for many years, and even that Demonic Dragon was not as terrifying as this Black Tortoise.

Its size, exceeding two thousand miles, speaks for itself.

This is no longer an ordinary beast, but Divine Beast beast.

He stayed in the Cultivation World for a day and found that the Black Tortoise under the island made no other Motion and Stillness, which put his mind at ease.

Back in the Floating World, Gu Yuanqing glanced at the Demon Realm one last time.

In the distance, it seemed as if a great battle was taking place, but the distance was too great to see clearly.

However, since then, many Demon Race Celestial Person have entered the original Human Race Boundary Domain.

The battle between the Celestial Person and the human beings occurred frequently.

Gu Yuanqing guessed that the war between the Human Race and the Demon Race had fully broken out.

However, he didn't care much; as long as it didn't affect North Spring Mountain, it was none of his business.

A few days later, Li Chengyi suddenly brought Chen Binglan Li Chengyi to North Spring Mountain.

Another major event is that Chen Binglan is pregnant with another child.

The two of them knelt at Gu Yuanqing's feet.

"Father, Binglan and I plan to change our second child's surname to Gu. We would like to ask you to bestow a name upon him."

Gu Yuanqing paused for a moment, then said, "Then let's call him Gu Siyuan."

"May I ask, Father, what is the meaning behind this name?" Li Chengyi had thought his father would name him according to the Gu Family's generational naming conventions, with "Li" in the middle, but he hadn't expected this name.

"An elder in the family once gave me this name, but it was never used. Siyuan means ' Siyuan the water you drink,' which fulfills that wish." Gu Yuanqing spoke indifferently, but he recalled his past life. This name was originally given by his father to his grandson, but now it was being used on his great-grandson.

Li Chengyi smiled and said, "Thank you, Father, for bestowing this name upon the child. From now on, he will be called Gu Siyuan."

Gu Yuanying also accompanied Li Chengyi up North Spring Mountain.

Decades have passed, and Gu Yuanying, who was once a grandmother, is now approaching sixty. However, she also Dao Fire cultivation, which allows her to maintain the appearance of someone in their thirties.

The whole mountain suddenly became lively.

Although Li Guanrong was getting on in years, his mischievous nature seemed unchanged. He and Gu Yuanying's grandson wreaked havoc on all the beasts on North Spring Mountain. Even the Gungun, who usually only cared about eating and sleeping, ran away when they saw the two of them.

Even the Little White Fox, who always considered himself an elder, avoided him like the plague.

In a fit of anger, Li Chengyi sent him back to Fengtian City and appointed him as regent.

However, Li Chengyi, Binglan, and others settled down in the Mountain.

Gu Yuanqing guessed Li Chengyi's thoughts and wanted to use family ties to awaken his humanity.

He let them do as they pleased, following their own will without forcing anything.

He wasn't deliberately pursuing the path of ruthlessness; it was just that the Dao Mark had worn away his Seven Emotions and Six Desires, and he felt that his current state was more suitable for cultivation.

On this day, Gu Yuanqing sat cross-legged in the main hall, entering a state of Mountain Observation, and comprehended the Dao Resonance.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the main hall changed. This atmosphere was cold and deathly still, and the chill it contained was the aura of the Underworld.

In the distance, a dark Great Dao stretched out before us.

Eight magnificent horses, their bodies ablaze with black flames, rode through the air, pulling a massive Ghost Chariot as they slowly approached.

"This is... King of the Underworld!"

Gu Yuanqing stood up with a solemn expression, wondering if it was another enemy casting a spell to harm him.

Although his cultivation level was not as high as before, he still had no confidence in facing an existence of this level, as evidenced by the fact that it was able to break through the Boundary Domain to reach North Spring Mountain.

King of the Underworld' chariot stopped five zhang away, and the curtain was lifted.

A Black-Robed Middle-Aged Man face was obscured, took a step forward and stood opposite Gu Yuanqing.

With a flick of his sleeve, an antique table appeared between the two. He sat cross-legged and said indifferently, "I have a Turbid Wine. Do you dare to drink with me?"
