With the evil ghost gone, Mo Tiange didn't dare to stay any longer. She left the stone room with Qin Xi and returned to the main hall.
Qin Xi closed his eyes to adjust his breath while she guarded him.
She was alone in the stone room and didn't dare to enter it again.
What she saw here was much higher than their realm. Every step she took meant more danger, so Little Feng could only wait.
Half a day later, the breath of another door fluctuated and several figures fell out. Mo Tiange saw it was Blackmoon Monster Master and his two companions.
"Elder Jing!"
Blackmoon Monster Master's clothes were tattered and his hat was crooked. As soon as he came out, he hurriedly went to help Jing Hu who fell on the ground.
Jing Hu looked pale and his spiritual aura was scattered all over his body. Obviously, he was seriously injured.
"It's okay." Jing Hu waved his hand and sat down cross-legged. "Second Prince, please guard me. I'll heal myself."
"Okay."
After Jing Hu sat down, Blackmoon Monster Master took out several colorful demonic beast cores. "Elder Jing, here are some cores. They're good for your injuries."
Jing Hu glanced at them. These cores were rich in spiritual aura and had no impurities, so he knew they were given by the monarch.
He picked up two and said, "This is enough. Second Prince, keep the rest in case of emergencies."
Blackmoon Monster Master put them away obediently. "Elder Jing, hurry and heal yourself."
Jing Hu ignored everything else and started to heal himself. Dieyi's spiritual aura was a bit unstable, but it was only a minor injury. After adjusting her breath, she looked at Mo Tiange and Qin Xi.
"Fellow Daoists, you also came out?" Dieyi was as cold as usual.
Qin Xi was still adjusting his breath. Mo Tiange's eyes moved, but she said faintly, "Yes, it's really an immortal's method. We almost died here."
Dieyi asked, "What did you encounter?"
"We encountered an Evil Ghost Array." She answered briefly, then looked at Dieyi. "What did the three Fellow Daoists encounter?"
"Scenes of many people being tortured?" Dieyi said, "They indeed looked like the evil ghosts in the legends."
The so-called "ghost" legend only prevailed in mortal countries. Ordinary beast cultivators didn't know what ghosts were. Dieyi was already very knowledgeable to know the existence of ghosts.
Mo Tiange was dumbfounded.
Many people being tortured?
It was different from theirs!
She hurriedly asked, "Can Fellow Daoist tell me what you saw?"
Die Yi didn't understand, but there was nothing to hide, so she told him what she had seen.
Mo Tiange's expression turned solemn.
What Dieyi had told her reminded her of a legend among mortals.
Mortals believed that when people died, they would become ghosts. Those who were extremely kind would ascend to become immortals, those who were extremely kind would be reincarnated as humans, those who were extremely evil would become animals, and those who were extremely wicked would enter the eighteen levels of hell to be punished every day.
How was what Dieyi said similar to the rumored eighteen levels of hell?
"Fellow Daoist Mo?" Dieyi looked at her in confusion.
Mo Tiange heaved a sigh and said, "As I expected, what Fellow Daoists saw was indeed hell."
"Hell?"
Xuanyue Demon Lord exclaimed in surprise. He had traveled in Yunzhong, so he knew more about the legends of ghosts and monsters than Dieyi. After thinking carefully, he nodded in agreement. "What you said makes sense. Legend has it that evil people will enter the 18 levels of hell after death, where they will be skinned, burned, fried, and roasted until all their sins are cleared. Isn't that what we saw?" At the end of his words, he turned to Dieyi.
Dieyi said, "So the human legend is true."
Xuanyue Demon Lord asked again, "What exactly did you two experience?"
Mo Tiange said, "There were a lot of evil spirits. Some were extremely strong, and some were strangely shaped. We had to fight for a long time before we could escape."
Qin Xi was temporarily exhausted, and she had some minor injuries, but their situation wasn't bad. If they didn't have the Vermilion Bird Bow, they might not have been able to escape. Jing Hu and Dieyi were both in the tenth rank, but Jing Hu was still seriously injured.
Xuanyue Demon Lord wanted to ask more, but he saw someone stumbling out of another door.
It was Xuanyue Demon Lord and Jing Tao. Jing Tao was covered in blood, not much better than Jing Hu. Although Xuanyue Demon Lord was still in good shape, he looked panicked.
"Elder Jing, Elder Jing!" The Black Sun Demon Lord grabbed Jing Tao and shook him indifferently.
Jing Tao was seriously injured, so he couldn't catch his breath after being shaken.
Xuanyue frowned and said, "Big Brother, if you keep shaking him, Elder Jing Tao will really be hopeless!"
Xuanyue was stunned. He immediately let go of Jing Tao and said unhappily, "I know. I don't need you to remind me!"
Xuanyue snorted and turned her head to ignore him.
Jing Tao took a deep breath and said to Xuanyue, "Eldest Prince doesn't need to worry. I'll be fine after adjusting my breathing."
Xuanyue Demon Lord said hurriedly, "Okay, quickly adjust your breathing!"
Jing Tao glanced at Mo Tiange and Dieyi with vigilance. He handed a foot-long bone spur to Xuanyue Demon Lord, swallowed the beast core, and closed his eyes to adjust his breathing.
Dieyi opened her eyes and showed a mocking smile. She didn't pay attention to him and shifted her gaze to Mo Tiange.
Xuanyue hesitated for a moment, but when he saw Dieyi's gaze, he suddenly understood and also looked at Mo Tiange.
Mo Tiange was stunned for a moment before she realized that Xuanyue wanted her to ask about Xuanyue Demon Lord's experience.
This wasn't a big deal, and it was also closely related to her, so she called out, "Eldest Prince."
Xuanyue Demon Lord was distracted. She asked several times before he came back to his senses and casually saluted her. "Fellow Daoist, what's the matter?"
Mo Tiange said, "What did Eldest Prince and the elders encounter in the sect?
Why did only the two of you come out? "
Xuanyue glanced at Xuanyue first and then answered, "It was strange inside, and Elder Jing was injured, so we came out first."
He wasn't a fool. Right now, Dieyi was with Xuanyue and it was hard to tell whether Mo Tiange was a friend or foe. If he told them the truth, wouldn't he be sending himself to the mouth of others?
They were separated after they went in. Another ninth rank beast cultivator was torn to pieces by a monster while protecting him, so he had to hide his current situation.
"Strange?"
Xuan Ri replied, "There were many monsters inside, they looked like humans, but they were very different. These monsters were very tall and strong, with extraordinary strength. The men were extremely ugly, and the women were extremely beautiful. We couldn't resist them, and with great difficulty, we managed to escape."
"I see …" Mo Tiange frowned. She felt the monsters Xuanyue Demon Lord mentioned were a bit familiar.
"What about you?
What did you encounter? "Xuanyue Demon Lord asked while his gaze swept over Xuanyue and the others.
Mo Tiange said, "We were besieged by evil spirits. As for the second prince and the others, they saw hell."
"Evil spirits?
Hell? "These terms were strange to Xuanyue Demon Lord.
Mo Tiange explained to him. She had read a lot of ancient books and could remember most of these legends, but she didn't know the details.
There were many legends among mortals. Many of them were passed down by word of mouth and later changed beyond recognition. Most of them couldn't be taken seriously.
After listening to her, Xuanyue said, "It's really strange. What you encountered was related to ghosts, but why were we completely different? Those monsters were definitely not ghosts. They carried the breath of destruction and obviously didn't have a high rank, but they could injure Elder Jing …"
"Since they're monsters, how can we use the cultivation world's method to classify them?" Xuanyue said, "Ghosts and monsters are different from us, and their Dao is also completely different."
Xuanyue sneered. "Second Brother, you really know a lot. Do you know how to deal with them?"
Xuanyue was stunned. He glared at him and said nothing.
"Different existences, different Dao …" Mo Tiange murmured. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind. She clapped her hands and said, "Right, why didn't I think of it?"
The three monsters turned their heads at the same time and asked in unison, "What?"
Mo Tiange said, "Tall, strong, extremely strong, extremely ugly men, and extremely beautiful women. This is recorded in ancient books. In ancient myths, they were called Asura."
"Asura?" Xuanyue frowned slightly. "Why is this name so strange?
I remember. I once heard from a Buddhist cultivator that Asura was one of the ancient gods. They were strong and aggressive, and they were enemies of the gods. "
"Yes!"
Mo Tiange nodded. "Evil ghost, hell, and Asura. Put these three together, and it's clear at a glance.
After the ancient gods created the world, they divided all living beings into six paths: Heavenly Path, Human Path, Hell Path, Hungry Ghost Path, Animal Path, and Asura Path.
There are six gates here. What we saw was Hungry Ghost Path, Hell Path, and Asura Path. Presumably, the remaining three gates are Heavenly Path, Human Path, and Animal Path. "
The first gate they entered was Heavenly Path, which was why there were immortals and gods.
Speaking of which, the three groups of people were really unlucky. Human Path and Animal Path were relatively mild, but they entered the most difficult Hungry Ghost Path, Hell Path, and Asura Path.
As for Heavenly Path, although they walked out easily, they probably didn't become immortals and didn't integrate into that path, so they could leave easily. Little Feng and Fairy Fengqing hadn't come out for a long time, which showed how dangerous it was.
Thinking of this, she was a little worried. Could Little Feng make it through?
"All living beings in six paths …" Qin Xi's voice rang out. He finished adjusting his breath and opened his eyes. "There are all living beings in six paths here. It's indeed an immortal treasure."
"Are you okay?" Mo Tiange asked happily.
Qin Xi smiled. "I'm not injured. I just adjusted my breath and recovered my spiritual aura."
Hearing this, Dieyi became more vigilant.
"Fellow Daoist Qin," Xuanyue asked, "in your opinion, is this a small world created by immortals?"
Qin Xi shook his head. "It's an exaggeration to say it's a world. At best, it's a magic weapon with the ability to simulate the six paths."
"Magic weapon?"
"Yes."
Qin Xi looked at the gate next to him. "One gate is one path, the six paths are one, and all living beings in six paths are present. It can be called a Small Chiliocosm.
But how can the real operation of the six paths be real?
All living beings in six paths can only exist in this immortal palace, so it's not a real Small Chiliocosm.
Therefore, this treasure can only be regarded as a simulation of the six paths. "
He spoke clearly, so the three beast cultivators all believed him.
Xuan Ri blurted out, "Then what should we do?
Can we break the operation of the six paths? "
"Although it's a simulation, how can cultivators in our realm interfere with the six paths?" Qin Xi sighed. "It's impossible for us to break it head-on."
Xuanyue frowned. "Are we going to return without accomplishing anything?"
"Second Prince, don't worry," Dieyi said. "Since the Divine Lord let us come, there must be a way."
