Chapter 1533  Three Rules of Conduct

After leaving the Wanzong Temple and Wanzong City, Xiao Mian returned to the Five Elements Sect.

All other mundane matters were settled, only Fu Qingqiong was concerned about Xiao Mian.

After quietly sneaking into the Five Elements Sect, Xiao Mian went straight into the cemetery to pay respects to the Hunyuan Patriarch.

With Xiao Mian's current cultivation, if he was determined to hide, even a powerful person like the Hunyuan Patriarch, who was at the Heavenly Venerable Realm, would not be able to easily see through his roots.

However, the Hunyuan Patriarch had a great favor to both the Five Elements Sect and Xiao Mian, and Xiao Mian still hoped that the Hunyuan Patriarch would continue to protect the Five Elements Sect in the spiritual battle, so he naturally had to be respectful.

Knowing that Xiao Mian was going to go deep into the gate of the underworld for the second time, the Hunyuan Patriarch was eager to try.

"Boy! You go to meet your Taoist lover, I can't control you, but that little girl is accompanied by the Nine Nether Emperor. I see that he wants to kill you, so you just walk into the trap? Why don't you let me go with you..."

Volunteered, the Hunyuan Patriarch was quite energetic.

Living in seclusion in the Five Elements Sect for hundreds of years, although it has tempered the character of the Hunyuan Patriarch, but the Hunyuan old demon who was rampant in Zhongzhou back then, has a ruthless heart in his bones.

The previous test with the Nine Nether Emperor aroused the fighting spirit of the Hunyuan Patriarch - the spiritual battle is coming, and this is also the last battle of the Hunyuan Patriarch!

The Hunyuan Patriarch was very enthusiastic.

Facing the Hunyuan Patriarch's cordial invitation, Xiao Mian shook his head slowly.

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior. The Nine Nether Emperor is a great man of all ages, but it's not that easy for him to kill me. Besides, he doesn't dare!"

"This... really don't want me to go with you?"

"If you feel bored at the Five Elements Sect, why not go to Huoyun Ridge? There are many young men with excellent talents there. Maybe there is a genius who suits your eyes. Isn't it a good thing to be able to inherit your Hunyuan Daoism?"

"Successor? Humph! It's better to have nothing!"

"Senior ! Although the prospects of spiritual warfare are slim, the road ahead in the cultivation world is bumpy. But can you really bear to see the Hunyuan Sect lineage die out with you? "

"..."

"I know that the knot in the senior's heart is the Liu brothers who betrayed their teacher and destroyed their ancestors. Those three people are indeed ambitious and deserve to die. But if the senior cuts off the Hunyuan Taoist lineage just to get angry with them, wouldn't it be a case of losing the big picture for the small and throwing the baby out with the bathwater?"

"I will learn from you!"

After hearing what Xiao Mian said, the Hunyuan Patriarch was shocked and bowed his hands.

When the Hunyuan Patriarch first entered Nanyue, he had thought about passing on his own Hunyuan Taoist lineage, but he ran into the three ungrateful Liu brothers.

Not only did he betray his teacher and destroy his ancestors, he also stole the chessboard of the Duzun Mansion.

Dejected, the Hunyuan Patriarch lived in seclusion in the Five Elements Sect and did not care about worldly affairs.

For hundreds of years, the Hunyuan Patriarch has been like a ghost, wandering in the Five Elements Sect Cemetery, and no one has ever had any intersection with him.

The knot in his heart was getting tighter and tighter.

It was not until today that Xiao Mian said a few words that he woke up from his dream.

If the Hunyuan Dao lineage was cut off, wouldn't the Hunyuan Patriarch also be a traitor to his master and ancestors?

Realizing that time was running out, the Hunyuan Patriarch had no time to be polite to Xiao Mian. He casually drew a line and broke through the void, jumped into it, and disappeared.

Even Xiao Mian was secretly shocked when he saw this method.

I just don't know who in Huoyun Ridge can catch the eye of the Hunyuan Patriarch?

Suppressing this hope, Xiao Mian entered the passage and went deep into the ground.

As if they had agreed in advance, Xia Jiuyou and Fu Qingqiong waited here.

Seeing Xiao Mian coming alone, Xia Jiuyou's pupils shrank, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, but soon dissipated into nothingness.

This kid, don't move!

As for Xiao Mian, he was too lazy to pay attention to Xia Jiuyou.

Xiao Mian and Fu Qingqiong looked at each other, with grievances, love and hatred, joy and sorrow.

After a long time, Fu Qingqiong sighed...

"Since you are here, let's start!"

"..., OK!"

After taking a deep look at Fu Qingqiong, Xiao Mian turned around and said nothing more.

After that, Xia Jiuyou and Fu Qingqiong turned back and retreated into the gate of the underworld, continuing to make all preparations to open the gate of the underworld.

Xiao Mian began to arrange the formation at the entrance of the passage.

Formation name - Five Elements Transfer Formation!

The Five Elements Transfer Formation, as the name suggests, can transfer space.

In essence, the Five Elements Transfer Formation is a teleportation formation.

The Five Elements Transfer Formation that Xiao Mian is arranging now is not an ordinary teleportation formation, but a space-time tunnel that connects here and there!

The reason why I went to so much trouble has to start from the last time...

In order to send Master Wu Xing back to reincarnation, Xiao Mian went deep underground and uncovered the true face of the gate to the underworld under the Five Elements Mountain.

Not only did he meet Xia Jiuyou and Fu Qingqiong, but he also met the Ghost Emperor of the Spirit World!

After Master Wu Xing used his five souls as a price to activate the soul and spirit divine light and forced the Ghost Emperor to split his spirit, the Ghost Emperor was willing to admit defeat and retreated willingly.

Before leaving, the Ghost Emperor expressed his willingness to escort Master Wu Xing into reincarnation.

It was at that time that Xiao Mian followed him.

At the gate of the underworld, after the Ghost Emperor sent Master Wu Xing's three souls and one spirit into it, he turned around and looked Xiao Mian up and down, smiling.

"Boy! Your ancestor fought with his soul and body to defeat me. You don't want his efforts to go to waste, do you?"

"Times have changed!" Facing the Ghost Emperor, Xiao Mian spoke eloquently: "Ten thousand years ago, my ancestor sealed the gate of the underworld with his own strength, cutting off a shortcut for the spirit world to invade Nanyue Province, thus preserving Nanyue Province for nearly ten thousand years. This kindness may not be known to the people of Nanyue, but it shines like the sun and the moon, and moves the heaven and earth! However, now the world has changed - it is no longer ten thousand years ago! Even if you, the Ghost Emperor, are willing to admit defeat and give up this gate to the underworld, is there any difference?"

"This gate to the underworld, I think it is a brilliant chess move , but it was completely blocked by your ancestor before it was used. Now this emperor reopened the gate of the underworld for the second time, but it was just an obsession in my heart. I don’t want to be forced back by your ancestor again! The young master of the Shenguan Xianzong is indeed a wonderful person, but it’s a pity that he is gone after all! "While self-mocking and sighing, the Ghost Emperor said to himself: "You are right! Even if there is no gate to the underworld, this emperor has other means to invade your Nanyuezhou!"

"What if the junior helps you open the gate to the underworld?"

"..."

For a while, there was silence beside the gate of the underworld.

The Ghost Emperor and Xiao Mian looked at each other and fell into silence.

"What are your conditions? Tell me!"

"One, ghost cultivators from the spirit world are not allowed to kill innocent people when entering Nanyue! Two, the gate to the underworld can be opened to Nanyue Province, but not here! Three, in the upcoming spiritual war, if possible, I would like to have a deeper cooperation with you!"

"Aren't you afraid of being infamous for a thousand years if you do this?"

"What about being famous for a hundred years? What about being infamous for a thousand years? I, do what I want to do!"

"..., this emperor really regrets that I didn't accidentally kill you in the Yin-Yang channel that day - one day, you may threaten this emperor's true body!"

"The ghost emperor dominates the spirit world, and he is still afraid of me, a mere Yuanying cultivator?"

"Humph! This emperor can agree to all three of your conditions. This emperor has roughly guessed what you mean by subsequent cooperation." This As he said this, the Ghost Emperor stared at Xiao Mian with his eyes fixed, and said to himself calmly: "In this spiritual battle, the main interest of this emperor is not the rare treasures of heaven, but a bet with the Buddha! Boy! If you can help this emperor complete this bet, we can discuss your matter!"

"Junior dares to ask: What is the bet?"

"The time is not right, and there is no point in talking more!" With a chuckle, the Ghost Emperor's figure slowly sank into the gate of the underworld, but his eyes were fixed on Xiao Mian. The Ghost Emperor said seriously: "You are so brave that you actually tried to plot against this emperor! But this emperor warns you: the spiritual battle is just a game and a bet for me; for you, it is a matter of life and death. If you want to be recognized by this emperor, you must survive in the spiritual battle first!"

After saying this, the Ghost Emperor's figure completely merged into the gate of the underworld.

It was not until this time that Xiao Mian felt relieved.

Before this, Xiao Mian seemed neither arrogant nor humble, but in fact he was trembling with fear.

He was facing the Ghost Emperor, one of the six overlords of the spiritual world.

If it goes wrong, it will be a disaster.

Fortunately, although the Ghost Emperor saw through Xiao Mian's calculations, he unexpectedly agreed to Xiao Mian's proposal - at least, on the surface, the Ghost Emperor agreed to Xiao Mian's plan!

That is - to conclude an alliance!

If this matter is spread out, Xiao Mian will definitely be criticized by thousands of people!

Spiritual warfare is originally a national war held by this world to fight against the invaders of the spirit world. Now Xiao Mian and the ghost cultivators of the spirit world have concluded an alliance. Isn't it colluding with foreign enemies?

If it was before entering the Du Zun Mansion, even Xiao Mian himself would have disdained such behavior.

However, as Xiao Mian said, times have changed.

Xiao Mian's biggest goal now is not spiritual warfare, but to counterattack the spirit world!

With the strength of this cultivation world, even if it is an iron plate, it is extremely difficult to break the ban from the inside - otherwise it would not be Xiao Mian's turn!

What's more, the cultivation world is full of intrigues and divisions.

In order to consolidate and maintain their status and privileges, those in power constantly exploit and suppress other classes.

Tiandu City, headed by the nine holy places, does not allow any variables!

The result of no variables is that this world will sink deeper and deeper...

To do extraordinary things, you must use extraordinary means!

If you can use the power of the Ghost Emperor, the pressure on Nanyuezhou will be greatly reduced in the next spiritual war, and you can also find a way in the spiritual world.

Of course, Xiao Mian does not know what the result will be.

Take one step at a time, do your best, and leave it to fate!

After making an alliance with the Ghost Emperor that day, Xiao Mian contacted the little monk, and the answer he got was exactly the same as Xiao Mian's guess.

In fact, the other four states have long been secretly communicating with the spiritual world.

It's just that each family communicates with different spiritual forces, so they didn't say it out loud.

If Xiao Mian hadn't seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and got on the line of the Ghost Emperor, Nanyuezhou would definitely be the place of many battles in the next spiritual war!

Now, Xiao Mian just hopes that the Ghost Emperor will not have too big a plan...

Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Xiao Mian continued to arrange the Five Elements Movement Array.

If the Gate of the Underworld is opened smoothly, not to mention the Five Elements Gate, even the entire Five Elements Mountain Range will be wiped out, and half of Nanyue State will become a ghost domain.

Although Xiao Mian proposed to cooperate with the Ghost Emperor, he could not accept this reality.

So, Xiao Mian needed to move the opening location of the Gate of the Underworld from the Five Elements Gate to other places-for example, the Death Sandbar!

First, the Death Sandbar is very large, enough to cover the entire Gate of the Underworld.

Second, the Death Sandbar has no spiritual energy, and no cultivators usually appear there.

Third, the Death Sands and the Endless Ocean, both lying between Nanyuezhou and Zhongzhou, are the natural barriers that cut off the road to the north of Nanyuezhou. If the Gate of the Underworld is opened on the Death Sands, it will cut off the road to the south of the Zhongzhou monks in reverse!

After all the calculations, Xiao Mian felt that the Death Sands was the best place!

Therefore, after setting up the array base of the Five Elements Movement Array under the Five Elements Sect, Xiao Mian rushed to the Death Sands to prepare for new matters.

Since it is a teleportation array, there must be two array bases.

To move the entire Gate of the Underworld under the Five Elements Sect to the Death Sands, it is necessary to build a teleportation array larger than the Gate of the Underworld on the Death Sands!

The Gate of the Underworld is a thousand miles in radius!

When the Gate of the Underworld is opened in the future, the range of fluctuations will be even greater.

Xiao Mian must build a super teleportation array on the Death Sands!

Fortunately, there is still a black cloth in hand!

After that, Xiao Mian threw all the matters related to the construction of the super teleportation array to Hei Bu, and Hei Bu dispatched all the required materials directly from Xuanwei Cave.

Xiao Mian himself returned to the Five Elements Gate and went deep into the gate of the underworld.

Xiao Mian did not come here to meet Fu Qingqiong.

Fu Qingqiong and Xia Jiuyou were constantly preparing in the underworld to successfully open the gate of the underworld. How could they have time to be intimate with Xiao Mian?

Fu Qingqiong, who turned to ghost cultivation, had a big change in the situation. Xiao Mian was a little doubtful whether Fu Qingqiong was still the second senior sister back then...

With a sigh, Xiao Mian sat cross-legged.

Right beside the gate of the underworld, Xiao Mian took out a corpse.

This corpse was the Styx ghost body left by Xiao Nantian that day!

Xiao Mian actually used the Yin Qi in the gate of the underworld to sacrifice the Styx ghost body!

Even though Xiao Mian was extremely bold, he did not dare to integrate the entire Styx ghost body into the gate of the underworld at first. Don’t look at the Ghost Emperor’s light walk that day. The Ghost Emperor is the Emperor of the Ghost Dao, and is one of the few powerful figures in the spirit world who can cross the Yin and Yang worlds!

What’s more, the Ghost Emperor is a ghost cultivator, not a living person.

Ordinary living people will become dead once they enter the gate of the underworld!

Even if they have three souls and seven spirits, they will be eroded by the Yin Qi if they are not careful.

Xiao Mian wants to sacrifice the Styx ghost body, so he naturally needs to control it with his own soul.

In order to be cautious, Xiao Mian first merged one thigh of the Styx ghost body into the gate of the underworld, and the other skeletons were suspended in the air, not daring to advance.

In case of any change, Xiao Mian can also withdraw in time.

Xiao Mian even thought about it: if there is a chance, it is better not to have the Styx ghost body!

It’s not that Xiao Mian is as timid as a mouse, but the Yin Qi in the underworld is really extraordinary.

In this way, Xiao Mian sacrificed the Styx ghost body almost inch by inch.

Every bone, every joint, and even every inch of bone marrow...

During this time, Xia Jiuyou entered and exited the gate of the underworld several times, but Xiao Mian was unmoved.

On the contrary, Xia Jiuyou's eyes flickered when he saw the Styx ghost body, but in the end he said nothing and disappeared on his own.

Every time at this time, Xiao Mian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

What surprised Xiao Mian was that Fu Qingqiong had never appeared.

Perhaps, in the underworld of the gate of the underworld, she was also constantly practicing hard?

After all, if you don't have absolute strength, you can't even control your own life and death, so how can you protect your beloved?

Three years!

After three years, more than a thousand days and nights, Xiao Mian succeeded!

At this time, the Styx ghost body was like a white jade carving, without a trace of impurities, just like a work of art.

But at this time, Xia Jiuyou came again uninvited.

Before Xiao Mian could figure out Xia Jiuyou's intention, the other party left a book of exercises without saying anything and floated away.

With his sword-like eyebrows slightly frowned, Xiao Mian absorbed the book of exercises.

After a careful look, Xiao Mian was delighted.

"The Book of the Underworld"!

As the name suggests, the book of the underworld.

"The Book of the Underworld" is obviously a cultivation method that fits the ghost body of the underworld.

Thinking deeper, this "The Book of the Underworld" should be the Ghost Emperor's order to Xia Jiuyou to hand it over to him, and I'm afraid even Xia Jiuyou has never touched it.

Although I can't guess the Ghost Emperor's thoughts, at least the Ghost Emperor is kind-whether this kindness is sincere or false, Xiao Mian must accept it!

But with the ability of the Ghost Emperor, I'm afraid he didn't guess Xiao Mian's intentions.

This ghost body of the underworld, Xiao Mian is not for his own use.

Xiao Mian now has three clones, King Kong, Blood Crystal and Green God. Even if he is at the Nascent Soul stage, he is considered to be quite wealthy.

One more Styx ghost body will only distract Xiao Mian.

What's more, whether it is King Kong, Blood Crystal or Green God, they are all treasures of heaven and earth with profound background. Although the Styx ghost body is also unique, it is not heavy after all.

With Xiao Mian's ambition, he still looks down on the Styx ghost body...

However, this Styx ghost body is also a treasure of the ghost way.

Even Xia Jiuyou, the ghost way celestial master, has been jealous.

Xiao Mian had already thought about giving this Styx ghost body to Fu Qingqiong.

Although Fu Qingqiong has never appeared in the past three years, Xiao Mian believes that Fu Qingqiong has been watching him from the other side of the gate of the underworld!

But at this moment, Xiao Mian's eyebrows moved.

The ghost head in the Du Zun Mansion sent a message to Xiao Mian through the alarm bell: the entire Du Zun Mansion has unusual movements, and it seems to be about to be closed!

As the master of the Du Zun Mansion, this matter is of great importance, and Xiao Mian must come in person.

Moreover, the Du Zun Mansion is full of good and bad people, and Xiao Mian is worried if he can't properly accommodate those cultivators from all sides.

Putting the ghost body of the Styx next to the gate of the underworld, Xiao Mian took out another green palace dress, folded it, and placed it next to the ghost body of the Styx.

This green palace dress is called the Green Phoenix Feather Clothes, and it was created in the same furnace as the Golden Phoenix Feather Clothes.

Xiao Mian gave the Golden Phoenix Feather Clothes to Xuancao. The Green Phoenix Feather Clothes was originally reserved for Fu Qingqiong. Although things have changed, Xiao Mian still kept the Green Phoenix Feather Clothes - after all, it is a top-level defensive magic weapon. I just hope she is safe!

With a sigh, Xiao Mian turned around and disappeared.

The next moment, the ghost body of the Styx and the Green Phoenix Feather Clothes sank into the gate of the underworld...
