302: Ghost Seal of Homesickness

Xi Yan Divine Continent!

At the center of the Xi Yan Great Desert, the Land of Fiery Seas.

This place is extremely hot; even Saint Realm beings cannot stay here for long, and without the appropriate means, they cannot remain here for extended periods.

On this day, an ancient colossal ship crossed realms and descended over the Land of Fiery Seas. On the battleship stood a group of armored warriors, and at the very front, dozens of white-robed Martial Artists stood.

Leading them was a handsome young man, and beside him was a white-bearded old man with his eyes closed, resting.

“This is the Land of Fiery Seas!”

Looking at the sea of fire below, the young man asked curiously.

The Land of Fiery Seas, spanning a hundred thousand li, is not vast in area, but it is occupied by a sea of fire. These flames have not extinguished since ancient times and have burned continuously until today.

If a Saint were to fall into the sea of fire, it would only take a few breaths to turn into ashes. Even a Saint Monarch would not be able to remain in the sea of fire for long.

Beings who come here can only rest on the protruding rocks.

Furthermore, the Land of Fiery Seas is enveloped by a special Restriction. While fire-attribute Martial Artists fare slightly better, other Martial Artists here will find their Saintly Sense and Saintly Power suppressed to varying degrees.

Beneath this sea of fire, many creatures still survive. For Martial Artists, especially fire-attribute Martial Artists, these fire-attribute creatures are rare Cultivation resources. Therefore, every year, Martial Artists from the Xi Yan Divine Continent come here to hunt creatures in the sea of fire.

To this end, the Xi Yan Divine Continent has even specially refined equipment for this place, helping Martial Artists stay in the sea of fire longer.

Of course, for the young man and his companions, the Land of Fiery Seas was nothing.

“Reporting, Your Highness, according to the map, this is the place! His tomb is down below!”

An old man, from whom an invisible Emperor’s might emanated, stepped forward and spoke.

The old man was clearly a Great Emperor, yet he showed a respectful expression towards the young man.

“From this moment on, outsiders are forbidden from entering this place!”

The young man nodded, then commanded with a stern expression.

“Yes!”

The old man assented, waving his hand to the rear. Instantly, numerous small battleships detached from the main warship, carrying armored squads, and began clearing out unwanted personnel!

“Elder, let us descend!”

The young man looked at the white-bearded old man beside him!

The white-bearded old man opened his eyes, gazing downwards, his eyes slightly narrowed.

A powerful aura surged from his body, like turbulent waves, instantly sweeping through the entire space.

Under the impact of this aura, the boundless sea of fire seemed greatly startled, beginning to tremble and distort, then, as if pushed by an invisible large hand, it slowly parted to both sides.

As the sea of fire parted faster and faster, it eventually formed a colossal crack, revealing the dark underground a thousand zhang below.

Countless mysterious caves in the underground appeared before everyone, permeated with a mysterious aura.

The entire underground, perhaps due to being scorched by the sea of fire for many years, had become dark and shiny, faintly shimmering with luster.

Within those dark caves, many bright flames were faintly visible, but they were suppressed by an invisible force, unable to gush out.

“Let’s go!”

A ray of Dao Light enveloped the young man and the white-robed Martial Artists behind him, then they vanished from the deck, appearing underground, and quickly surged into one of the black passages.

“Boom!”

The suppressed sea of fire instantly surged back, re-concealing the dark underground.

At this moment, a phantom appeared at the bottom of the sea, then stealthily surged into the passage the white-bearded old man had entered.

“A Dao Severing one, huh!”

In an unknown place, Xu Qing’s gaze pierced through layers of Void Realm, looking towards the Land of Fiery Seas.

Including the nether heaven key, he now had three.

The remaining nether heaven key, judging by the trend, would still take some time.

For a period, the Netherworld could be said to be embroiled in war.

With the blessing of the Netherworld Sacred Pool, the Yin Court’s troop source was continuous. Thus, the Dao body intentionally withdrew heavenly soldiers from the battlefield to Cultivate Yin soldiers more suitable for combat in the Netherworld.

Moreover, the current Netherworld had already fallen into Chaos, so the offensive against Hoping Home slowed down.

To this day, the Hoping Home Ghost Realm still had one last ghost territory uncaptured, and behind this ghost territory was the shadow of the Minghan Ghost Realm. Clearly, they had also seen the Yin Court’s objective, and thus, to avoid bringing the war to their homeland, they were sending troops and powerhouses to the Ghost Valley Ghost Territory from the rear.

Of course, the Yin Court was not afraid of the pressure from the Minghan Ghost Realm, nor was it impossible to conquer. Instead, it was trying to minimize its own influence and concentrate most of the Netherworld’s attention elsewhere.

Currently, in the Netherworld, various forces first erupted in large-scale wars due to increasingly generated conflicts, and then a force rapidly rose, challenging the Fengdu Netherworld.

Especially the latter, according to the intelligence Xu Qing received, this newly risen force’s spearhead was directly aimed at the old-established forces led by the Netherworld and Yellow Springs Halls.

And this force was an Alliance composed of a group of newly established forces, one of which Xu Qing was familiar with: the Blood God Sect.

It was the force behind Saint Ming, whom Xu Qing had thrown out of the Heavenly Martial Realm back then.

This force, though called newly established, each claimed to be descendants of gods. For example, the Blood God Sect, whose leader was rumored to be the Reincarnation of Blood God, and there were also the Nether God Sect, Ghost God Sect, and so on.

Moreover, the banner they raised was to overthrow the two halls’ forces and restore the rule of the gods. Now, the two sides were fighting fiercely.

Originally, Xu Qing’s idea was to have the abyss races attack the two halls, but now, these people were Just right used to test them.

And A Hui was not idle either; he controlled multiple abyss lands and gathered a large army to launch an abyss war against the Evil Realm Ghost Realm, and was preparing to spread to the two great Ghost Realms of Naihe and Abhi.

However, this would still require A Hui to continue controlling more abyss races. As long as A Hui did not go to the lowest nine layers, there would be no danger.

From the System prompt, the lower nine layers of the abyss contained Dao Realm beings, especially the deepest three layers, where Xu Qing’s strength would mean a narrow escape from death, because there were no abyss races there, only a group of ancient existences.

It could be said that the current Netherworld was filled with war everywhere. In this situation, the Yin Court was Just right reducing its influence and secretly accumulating and cultivating Yin soldiers.

The Other Shore Kingdom had the same plan as the Yin Court. In fact, besides Xu Qing secretly having A Hui and his group stir up trouble, there were two other hidden hands stirring up trouble.

One of them was the Hall of the Gods, an Alliance formed by the Blood God Sect and others, and the other was this Other Shore Kingdom.

Xu Qing had a premonition that to unify the Netherworld, this Other Shore Kingdom would definitely be a formidable enemy.

But no matter how strong the Dragon, you must kneel!

“Speaking of which, the System has rewarded a few gift packages. Let’s see what good stuff there is!”

This time, the System rewarded him with two mysterious gift packages and one mysterious grand gift package.

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining three Chaos Spirit Crystal mines and three Low Grade emperor fruits!】

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining one King-level Dao method and ten Emperor methods!】

“Uh!”

Although he knew the items in the mysterious gift packages wouldn’t be too good, his luck was unparalleled!

These things were useless to Xu Qing and could only be given to the clan for use.

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the chaotic spiritual treasure Hoping Home Ghost Seal!】

【Hoping Home Ghost Seal: A top-grade chaotic spiritual treasure, one of the chaotic spiritual treasures bestowed by heaven and earth when the Underworld was first established in the nine heavens era. It was controlled by the Hoping Home Ghost King. Holding the Hoping Home Ghost Seal allows one to use the power of the heaven and earth of the Hoping Home Ghost Realm. It disappeared after the Hoping Home Ghost King fell!】

“Not bad!”

Looking at the Ghost Seal in his hand, this gift package opening was not a loss. This Ghost Seal was equivalent to the official seals rewarded by a dynasty to its frontier officials, allowing them to borrow the power of heaven and earth within their jurisdiction.

Xu Qing handed it over to the Dao body for use.

And he should go to the Ancient Land of Dao to take a look.

“Buzz!”

Xu Qing walked into the space gate without hesitation...
