Chapter 2457 Strange Things Never Before Encountered
The immortals immediately recalled how he rose to power. When he first appeared on the Gold Plains, he did so under the guise of arresting evil people and subjecting them to the Nine Netherworld Judgment. Countless people had also witnessed him drawing out the souls of evil people.
Whether the Nine Nether Emperor is the reincarnation of the Dragon God is another matter, but it seems reasonable that he is proficient in the secret art of sealing souls.
To build such a vast empire, this person must have more than just a few tricks up their sleeve.
Dong Rui quickly realized what was going on: "I think you're talking nonsense with a straight face. Are you trying to take advantage of the Big Square Pot?"
Master Sihai had never dealt with He Lingchuan before and was unaware of his methods, so he could only make a serious guess:
"You want to make the Earth Mother's spirit appear dead?"
"You could say that." How could He Lingchuan not have feelings for the Earth Mother?
As for whether it could achieve the effect of separating body and soul, He Lingchuan was still confident in the Great Pot. Nine out of ten treasures swallowed by this thing would be lost.
The problem is that Mother Earth has absolutely no faith in him, not even a little bit.
If it disagrees, the large pot cannot force it to make the decision.
"But this presents a problem. The Earth Mother finally escaped Shangguan Biao's control, and she is most likely unwilling to be sealed again." Being sealed is essentially a euphemism for being imprisoned and controlled. The Earth Mother was brought back to Changfeng Valley to guard the gate for nearly a thousand years, and then forced to sleep for thousands of years by Shangguan Biao. It would be good enough if she didn't react strongly to the word "seal."
Venerable Mingyao was both amused and exasperated: "What's the difference between your method and killing it directly? Both methods cause it to lose its spirit and body. It would be strange if it agreed to that."
The two immortals exchanged a glance, their understanding unspoken.
Their purpose for this trip has changed from simply "teaching the Earth Mother a lesson and protecting the reputation of Mount Ling" to winning over the Earth Mother and the Great Square Pot. If they act according to the Nine Nether Emperor's plan, Mount Ling would be handing over the Earth Mother to him and would even have to help him.
What benefits would this bring to Lingshan?
Even though both of them understood the situation, they were already deeply mired in the battle and needed to reach a conclusion.
“Since the Nine Nether Emperor has a plan, we will fully cooperate.” Master Sihai immediately made the decision. “We must win this battle no matter what!”
The opponent is strong; let's wait until we win before making any decisions. We can't afford to fight over every single piece of bread before the main dish is even cooked.
"Alright, thank you all!" He Lingchuan was also very pleased. No wonder Sihai Zhenren was chosen as the leader of this operation; his decisiveness was much stronger than that of ordinary immortals.
At that moment, Aunt Zhu asked him, "Where are we going to fight now?"
"It's time to go to our territory."

The secret realm of Duzhi Mountain.
Under the sect leader's orders, Li Yun used the wave drum to reopen the entrance to the Earth Mother's Nest and personally went inside to investigate.
More than half an hour later, he returned to the ground to report to the king:
"Mother Earth is still asleep, and I cannot wake her."
Wang Ye frowned deeply.
If Mother Earth is asleep, what about the unexpected incident at Huaiwu earlier? How many people witnessed the giant stone figure bursting out of the ground and then being pulled back by stone chains?
To find out the truth, he probably has to personally take action and use the power of the contract to forcibly awaken the Earth Mother.
The Earth Mother has been in a deep slumber due to severe soul damage, and a sudden interruption of this slumber would likely cause her even greater harm. The contract between Changfeng Valley and the Earth Mother also stipulates that the Earth Mother must fulfill her duties, while Changfeng Valley must cherish the guardian spirit beasts and refrain from excessive enslavement and depletion of their resources.
Mother Earth will definitely be very annoyed if she is forcibly awakened.
So Wang Ye made a decision: "I'll do it. This is a big deal, and we must get to the bottom of this!"
A major upheaval has occurred in Changfeng Valley tonight, and everyone urgently needs the truth.
The ground suddenly trembled as soon as he finished speaking.
Another earthquake struck, at least magnitude 6 or 7. No one can ignore it.
The disciples of Changfeng Valley were uneasy and discussed among themselves: What's going on with all these strange phenomena tonight?
A strong gust of wind swept by, dispersing the clouds and mist on the mountain.
Li Yun suddenly pointed into the distance and said urgently, "Sect Leader, please look there!"
The Ghost Claw Locust House is located halfway up the mountain, offering a commanding view of the beautiful scenery in the distance.
Changfeng Valley is a vast area, with an endless plain at the foot of Duzhi Mountain. The soil there is humid, and at this time of year, the golden fields are swaying in the wind, with grasses bending low and wheat waves rolling.
However, at this moment, a city suddenly appeared on the plain!
It rose slowly from underground, but there was no sign of the land outside the city turning over; it was as if it had always been there.
Changfeng Valley also has many cities under its jurisdiction, but none of them are as magnificent as it. The outer city wall alone has two layers, one higher than the other, not to mention its thickness.
The people of Changfeng Valley felt that this city was hostile and exuded a fierce aura.
From a high vantage point, the city's buildings stand in neat rows, varying in height. With just a few glances, the people of Changfeng Valley could tell that this city was extremely prosperous, for it possessed a variety of magnificent and imposing buildings, the most eye-catching being a multi-treasure pagoda, towering thirty-three stories high and reaching straight into the clouds.
Apart from the magnificent palaces on the sacred mountain, no other city within the Changfeng Valley region possesses such a grand architectural complex.
The night was deep, and the city lights shone brightly like stars in the sky.
Even stranger, they could only see half of the city—the central and southern parts were clearly visible, while the central and northern parts were hidden in thick clouds.
The clouds and mist surging from the horizon are so thick that even immortals cannot see through them.
What's going on with this city?
The senior management of Changfeng Valley were discussing the situation when another earthquake struck.
This time, most people could clearly see that the source of the earthquake was actually the golden plains extending towards the Duzhi Mountains!
Or rather, it advanced dozens of feet towards the Duzhi Mountains, turning large tracts of land into wheat fields.
There were originally several boundary markers of Duzhishan on that piece of land, but they naturally disappeared at that time.
"Outrageous! This city is encroaching on our land!" How dare an enemy bully Changfeng Valley? Wang Yexian ordered the activation of the barrier, protecting the entire Duzhi Mountain and forbidding outsiders from setting foot inside. The barrier of Changfeng Valley was renowned for its strength even in the Immortal Realm, making it extremely difficult for the other side to break through.
He then began to select his generals, ordering more than ten immortals to lead five hundred disciples down the mountain to investigate the secrets of this strange city.
Of course, Shangguan Biao, a menial laborer, was not among them. Standing under the Ghost Claw Locust Tree, he witnessed hundreds of rainbows swooping down on the plain with the other menial laborers. He couldn't help but feel longing, and at the same time, he was glad that he hadn't chosen the "go down the mountain" option that fate had presented, otherwise he would have missed these exciting sequels.
The two sides were not close, but the immortals, riding their flying magical artifacts, should arrive in a few dozen breaths.
However, a strange thing happened: when the immortals flew to the border between the two places and tried to go forward, their flying magic failed!
No matter what magical artifacts you use, they're useless; you just can't fly unless you're a bird demon born with wings.
