Chapter 1677: Chapter 1673: Another Entrance

"Celestial Secret Realm!" Yuan Tiangang’s eyebrows twitched upon hearing the words.

"Does Master Yuan know of that secret realm?" Shen Luo asked upon seeing this.

"I happened to come across it in the classics; it’s known as a place of immortal burial, but I know little more about it." Yuan Tiangang shook his head and said.

"A place for immortal burial, indeed an apt description." Shen Luo couldn’t help but think to himself.

"As for the situation there, I will explain it to the two elders at length when there’s leisure. I have come this time with important matters to report to the Duke and Master Yuan." He quickly regained his composure and said.

"Oh? What matters? You may speak." Yuan Tiangang waved his whisk and nodded.

"I just returned to Chang’an City and learned from Friend Gu that the officials of the Astronomical Bureau’s Hydrology Department were killed, and that some earth veins were altered. One of these altered earth veins leads to the Yinling Mountains to the northwest of Chang’an City. I’ve been to an ancient tomb there, and at the bottom of the tomb, there’s a passageway leading to the Netherworld." Shen Luo paused here, confident that with Yuan Tiangang and Cheng Yaojin’s wisdom, he needn’t elaborate further.

Indeed, Cheng Yaojin’s face tensed upon hearing this.

Yuan Tiangang, however, remained calm, showing no sign of surprise.

"Could it be that Yuan Tiangang already knew about this?" Shen Luo couldn’t help but think.

"This is the earth vein hydrology map that was just drawn, along with the investigation results of the case concerning the officials of the Astronomical Bureau’s Hydrology Department conducted by this junior." Gu Hualing took out the hydrology map and a jade slip and presented them to Yuan and Cheng.

Cheng Yaojin urgently took the hydrology map and jade slip, and his expression turned grim after a sweep of his divine sense.

"Based on the situation from the previous great battle, the enemy has the ability to summon demons from underground. Now that they’ve opened a passageway connecting to the Netherworld, it’s very likely they intend to make a comeback, summoning ghosts from the Netherworld to attack Chang’an City again. We must find a way to stop it!" Cheng Yaojin said, looking at Yuan Tiangang.

"Friend Gu, you’ve worked hard." Yuan Tiangang remained unperturbed, taking the earth vein hydrology map and jade slip, he glanced at them before speaking to Gu Hualing.

Gu Hualing was momentarily stunned before she realized Yuan Tiangang was suggesting she leave.

"In that case, I will take my leave." Gu Hualing slightly bowed, glared at Shen Luo beside her, and then walked out.

Yuan Tiangang waved his sleeve, and a layer of white light enveloped the great hall.

"Master Yuan, could there be more to the matter of the earth veins?" Shen Luo saw this and asked, surprise flashing in his eyes.

"This matter involves a great deal, and it’s a long story. I heard you were present when Mount Fangcun was attacked. Do you know the real reason Lion Camel Ridge and Demon King Fort attacked Mount Fangcun?" Yuan Tiangang’s tone shifted to ask in return.

"I know a bit. I heard it was to enter a place called the Divine Demon Well, and the entrance is within the Bodhi Secret Realm at Mount Fangcun." Shen Luo didn’t understand why Yuan Tiangang suddenly brought up the matter of Mount Fangcun but still answered truthfully.

"Exactly. The Divine Demon Well is the hub of spiritual energy and demonic energy in the Three Realms. After the Ancient God-sealing War, all races of the Three Realms combined forces to seal it, but over the years, there have been constant plots to exploit the Divine Demon Well." Yuan Tiangang said.

"I can imagine that. But isn’t the entrance to the Divine Demon Well within the Bodhi Secret Realm? After the great battle, the entrance should have been sealed. What does it have to do with Chang’an City?" Shen Luo asked, puzzled.

"There isn’t just one entrance to the Divine Demon Well. There’s also one here in Chang’an City." Cheng Yaojin said.

"What!" Shen Luo was shocked upon hearing this.

He opened his mouth, subconsciously wanting to ask where the entrance to the Divine Demon Well was, but he forcibly swallowed his words.

The secrets of such importance must be kept strictly confidential and cannot be casually spread.

"So, Master, you mean that the previous unrest in Chang’an City and the current changes to the earth veins are all someone’s attempt to open the entrance to the Divine Demon Well?" Shen Luo steadied his mind and asked.

"Yes, but they likely haven’t found the location of the entrance yet. Previously, they drove the imprisoned monsters beneath Chang’an City to attack the people, attempting to use the blood sacrificial method to probe the entire city but were thwarted. Now I suppose they are attempting the same old trick." Yuan Tiangang said.

"Didn’t the previous demon attack on the city occur because the Jing River Dragon King tried to destroy the Great Tang Dragon Vein and claim it for himself?" Shen Luo expressed his surprise.

"That was just the surface reason. I investigated thoroughly afterward and found a blood sacrifice array engraved deep underground in Chang’an City, capable of polluting the earth veins with essence blood and resentment, as well as probing everything within the city. The Jing River Dragon King was merely used by others. Fortunately, the slaughter was stopped in time that day, and the blood sacrifice array was halted halfway." Yuan Tiangang said.

"That’s good to hear." Shen Luo’s expression relaxed.

"Even so, whether the blood sacrifice array has begun probing or to what extent remains unknown. Our only option now is to strive to guard the entrance to the Divine Demon Well. I have summoned experts from various factions here precisely for this purpose." Yuan Tiangang said.

"Master Yuan speaks rightly, but regardless, the earth vein leading to the Yinling Mountains must be severed or sealed." Shen Luo said.

"You needn’t worry. Upon hearing of this matter just now, I already dispatched someone to handle it." Yuan Tiangang replied with a faint smile.

Shen Luo breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

"So you’ve already sent people there, that’s good." Cheng Yaojin said.

"The two elders have told me these things because you need my service?" Shen Luo looked at them and asked.

"Indeed, given the current situation..." Yuan Tiangang began to say.

But just as he spoke halfway, the ground suddenly shook violently, and loud rumbling sounds pierced through the surrounding white light and transmitted inside.

Yuan Tiangang abruptly stood up and vanished into thin air, the white light in the hall dissipating accordingly.

Shen Luo immediately shot towards the outside, just as Cheng Yaojin was about to stand, his body suddenly froze, and tendrils of black light appeared in his eyes.

"Heh heh, the Heavenly Fox Heart-taking Technique is indeed mysterious; no one even noticed my presence." A cold, sinister laugh emerged from Cheng Yaojin’s mouth, and wisps of Black Qi surged from his body, flowing towards the ground.

Shen Luo flashed to mid-air outside a side hall, his expression drastically changing.

The once bright sky was now covered by a thick Black Cloud, with meteor-sized fireballs descending like rain upon various parts of Chang’an City.

These fireballs were bright and vivid, appearing not like ordinary fire. Upon reaching the ground, they violently exploded, obliterating everything within hundreds of feet around them.

Amid the thundering roars, fires ignited throughout Chang’an City. Countless houses and buildings collapsed as cries of anguish filled the air.

In a mix of shock and anger, Shen Luo’s feet emitted a dazzling lightning light, vanishing from his spot and reappearing under a fireball hundreds of feet away, with a wave of his sleeve.

A golden tower materialized—none other than the Qiankun Xuanhuo Tower. Its base emitted a large area of golden light, enveloping the fireball.

The massive fireball rapidly shrunk, disappearing with a "whoosh" into the Qiankun Xuanhuo Tower.

The Qiankun Xuanhuo Tower not only contained the Six Ding Divine Fire but also housed a Mysterious Fire Space, capable of capturing all the world’s flames.

Sparks flew from Shen Luo’s feet once more as he reappeared beneath another fireball, summoning the Qiankun Xuanhuo Tower to absorb the flame.
