“What kind of cooperation?”
The Martial Dao Prime Body asked.
“Since you’re so smart, why don’t you take a guess?
Immortal Emperor Nine Firmament chuckled. “Of course, he’s not qualified to cooperate with me now.”
Given the intelligence of the Sect Master of the Academy and the Dharmic Dao of the Technique Reserve, coupled with his pedantic nature and insight into the heavenly secrets, it was not surprising for him to divine the ident.i.ty of Great Emperor Heaven Burial through the connection between Immortal Emperor Dawn Twilight, Emperor Bo Xun and Fiend Emperor Apocalypse.
However, it was indeed beyond the expectations of the Martial Dao Prime Body that he took the initiative to run to Great Emperor Heaven Burial to discuss a cooperation with him.
Given Great Emperor Heaven Burial’s methods, killing the Sect Master of the
Academy was like stepping on an ant.
The Sect Master of the Academy must know that as well.
However, he did not know what kind of cooperation he proposed that could make Great Emperor Heaven Burial find it interesting and not even attack him.
When the Martial Dao Prime Body saw that Immortal Emperor Nine Firmament would not say it explicitly, he did not dwell on this matter and merely said indifferently, “I believe he did not guess that you have another ident.i.ty as
well.”
“Oh?”
The smile on Immortal Emperor Nine Firmament’s face faded.
“Or rather, this is your true ident.i.ty.”
The Martial Dao Prime Body glared at Immortal Emperor Nine Firmament and said word by word, “The Lord of the Netherworld, Great Emperor Feng Du!”
If the conversation between the two of them were to spread, it would be earth- shattering!
The entire Divine Firmament Hall fell silent instantly after the Martial Dao
Prime Body said that.
Immortal Emperor Nine Firmament retracted his smile and looked fixedly at the Martial Dao Prime Body as well. Their gazes met in midair and neither of them retreated!
The atmosphere gradually turned solemn.
“The Lord of the Netherworld.”
After an unknown period of time, Immortal Emperor Nine Firmament murmured softly and broke the silence. Then, he smiled meaningfully and asked, “Feng Du has never appeared. How did you make that guess?
In reality, Immortal Emperor Nine Firmament’s question did not deny the speculation of the Martial Dao Prime Body.
“I deduced a long time ago that Immortal Emperor Dawn Twilight and the other two were the Three Corpses of Great Emperor Heaven Burial.”
The Martial Dao Prime Body said, “However, I originally thought that the Fiend Lord was Great Emperor Heaven Burial. That’s because when I first met him, he sat on a tomb and called himself the tomb keeper.”
“There are naturally many connections between Heaven Burial and tombs.”
“That’s right.”
Immortal Emperor Nine Firmament nodded.
The Martial Dao Prime Body said, “However, the Fiend Lord denied that outside the Great Wilderness World that day.”
“The Fiend Lord once revealed some information. They and the nine Great Emperors of the Heavenly Court are all from the major chiliocosm and their cultivation realms are above the Great Emperor realm. They can be said to be immortal and have endless lifespans.”
“The fact that Great Emperor Heaven Burial can survive until now means that he’s different from the Great Emperors born in the medium chiliocosm. He s also an immortal existence with an endless lifespan. If he’s not one of the nine of them from the Heavenly Court, he could only be one of the five Lords of the Netherworld or h.e.l.l, Hungry Ghost, Beast and Asura Daos.”
Immortal Emperor Nine Firmament smiled. “That might not be the case. It s possible that I’m from the major chiliocosm, but unrelated to them entirely. The speculation of the Martial Dao Prime Body earlier on could indeed only prove that Great Emperor Heaven Burial was similar to the Fiend Lord and the others-they were both from the major chiliocosm and were immortal.
However, it could not confirm that Great Emperor Heaven Burial was the Lord of the Netherworld.
The Martial Dao Prime Body said, “I’ve seen all the Lords of the Four Daos. Only the Lord of the Netherworld is extremely mysterious and has never appeared.
“So, since you’ve never even met him before, why would you guess at his ident.i.ty?”
Immortal Emperor Nine Firmament asked with a smile.
“We’U have to go back to the same problem as before.” The Martial Dao Prime Body said slowly, “The Dharmic Dao of Heaven Burial is inextricably linked to tombs. As for the largest tomb in this world, it’s probably the Netherworld!”
“The Lord of the Netherworld controls the Netherworld and reincarnation. Only he can create a Taboo Mystic Cla.s.sic like the Heaven Burial Sutra and revive people!”
“Fufu…”
“Hahahaha!”
Immortal Emperor Nine Firmament chuckled for a while before laughing out loud and nodding repeatedly.
The Martial Dao Prime Body said, “This is only the first time I’ve a.s.sociated you with the Lord of the Netherworld. Furthermore, when I asked the Fiend „ Lord about the Lord of the Netherworld that day, he avoided talking about it.” “There should only be a few people who can make the Fiend Lord choose to avoid talking about them.”
“Just based on that?”
Immortal Emperor Nine Firmament asked.
“Of course it’s more than that.”
The Martial Dao Prime Body said indifferently, “Back in the Emperor’s Tomb, I obtained a treasure, the Soul Lantern. As for the Soul Lantern, it belongs to the Lord of the Netherworld.”
“Initially, I never understood why the Soul Lantern was in the hands of Immortal Emperor Dawn Twilight.”
“However, in fact, the answer to this question is very simple. It is because Immortal Emperor Dawn Twilight is one of the Three Corpses cultivated by Great Emperor Heaven Burial, the Lord of the Netherworld. It’s only normal for the Lord of the Netherworld to hand the Soul Lantern to Immortal Emperor Dawn Twilight and help him cultivate.”
“It was just that even before Immortal Emperor Dawn Twilight died in his previous life, he still thought that the Soul Lantern was a treasure he accidentally obtained.”
Immortal Emperor Nine Firmament smiled and did not deny it.
“Anything else?”
Immortal Emperor Nine Firmament asked.
The Martial Dao Prime Body said, “You should already know that I killed more than 30 Emperors in the Witch World, including the Witch World Lord. Before he died, he revealed that he still had a master.
At the mention of this, Immortal Emperor Nine Firmament raised his eyebrows.
The Martial Dao Prime Body continued, “I’ve been to the Poison World and learned something. The Nether Calamity Poison originated from the Nether Calamity Flower. However, the Nether Calamity Flower doesn’t exist in the medium chiliocosm. It only grows beside the h.e.l.l Serene Springs.” “Given the Poison World Lord’s methods, he can’t enter h.e.l.l at all. In other words, there’s another person behind the Poison World. It’s this person who brought the Nether Calamity Flower from h.e.l.l to the medium chiliocosm and handed it to the Poison World Lord!”
“There aren’t many people who can enter and exit h.e.l.l. The Lord of the Netherworld happens to be one of them.”
Immortal Emperor Nine Firmament smiled and asked, “From what you re saying, the master mentioned by the Witch World Lord is also the Lord of the Netherworld?”
“Of course.”
The Martial Dao Prime Body said, “The living beings of the Netherworld exist completely in the Essence Spirit state. Their Essence Spirits and souls are extremely powerful. As for the cultivation techniques of the Witch race, they happen to be good at cultivating the Essence Spirit as well.” “The Witch World has more than 40 Emperor experts. That’s far beyond the scope of a super large world.”
“If I’m not wrong, some of the Witch Emperors should be Ghost Emperors you brought back from the Netherworld. They entered the bodies of the Emperors and fused to become Witch Emperors!”
“Impressive.”
Immortal Emperor Nine Firmament clapped and praised.
It was unknown if he was praising the speculation of the Martial Dao Prime Body or himself.
Even though he knew that the Witch World and Poison World were almost destroyed by the Martial Dao Prime Body, Immortal Emperor Nine Firmament was still all smiles, as though he did not care.
The Martial Dao Prime Body continued, “The first living beings of the Witch World and Poison World were transformed from ordinary humans. In other words, the birth of the two worlds was done by you.”
“The so-called progenitors of the Witch World and Poison World, Emperor Nether Calamity and Emperor Nether Poison, should have been nurtured by you as well.”
“It’s precisely because of that that the two worlds can cooperate so well and secretly start two wars between the Dragons and Phoenixes and Kuns and Pengs.”
“I once thought that the biggest beneficiaries of two world wars that lasted for thousands of years was the Blood World or the Tomb World.”
“However, in fact, there’s only one person who benefited the most—Great Emperor Feng Du!”
“The words Heaven Burial in the Heaven Burial Sutra do not only refer to the Heavenly Court, but all the heavens!”
