I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples

Chapter 1519: Chapter 1519: Underworld Lord’s Bedchamber (4/4) Chapter 1519: Chapter 1519: Underworld Lord’s Bedchamber (4/4) In the Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace sector.

All the auras felt extremely comfortable to Blackie.

Gu Sheng also clearly noticed the minor changes in Blackie and expressed his surprise, “It seems that you are extremely compatible with the aura of the Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace.”

Blackie shrugged, not denying it, just about to reply when the person coming towards them made Blackie temporarily stop explaining.

Following behind, Zong Yun’s expression tightened and he said, “It’s Xu Luo, the one ranked twentieth on the Cangxuan List…”

Now, Zong Yun’s power was still too weak when facing these top-tier powerhouses.

Xu Luo hadn’t even released his oppressive aura, but the unintentional aura he exuded made Zong Yun feel somewhat suffocated.

Accompanying Xu Luo was another person, also from Cangxuan Academy, named Fan Yin.

Upon seeing Blackie, Xu Luo slightly frowned, then said, “Oh? You’re from Azure Heaven Academy, I didn’t expect you to be able to make it here.”

According to the clues and information they obtained, this Netherworld Palace sector was one of the resting palaces or courtyards of the Six Realms Netherworld Master from the past era.

And now, the place where Blackie and the others were was a significant area within the Netherworld Palace sector.

One could say it was the gate to the Netherworld Master’s resting palace courtyard.

In front of them stood a massive courtyard wall, which could be said to be thicker and taller than regular city walls.

The center of the wall held a huge archway, above which were inscribed countless images of wailing souls.

However, given the length of the wall, one couldn’t see its end at a glance; it was estimated there was more than just one gate.

Without waiting for Blackie’s response, Xu Luo turned to Gu Sheng and said, “Gu Sheng, I’ve heard of you, you have the strength to ascend the Cangxuan List but unfortunately did not join the Cangxuan Continent. However, even so, why would you cooperate with a minor Azure Heaven Academy?”

Gu Sheng still wore a straw hat, with a blade of foxtail grass dangling from his mouth, and his mouth curled into a slight smile as he said, “Who I follow is never about strength and background, as long as they suit my taste. Besides, this is my own idea, why are you meddling so much?”

Xu Luo’s expression darkened slightly, and he gave a cold laugh, “Actually, I was thinking of having you join my Xu Family. You should know what status the Xu Family holds on the Cangxuan Continent, right? But from your words, it seems like you are refusing me?”

“Sorry, I have no intention of joining any other forces,” Gu Sheng spread his hands and said, “So your offer holds no allure for me.”

“Even if it means never ascending the Cangxuan List?”

“Even if it means never ascending the Cangxuan List,” Gu Sheng nodded.

What the Cangxuan List brought was not just recognition, but also immense benefits.

How many sects and factions would come to court and flatter a person with no fixed allegiance should they ascend the Cangxuan List? Who wouldn’t spend great costs to invite them?

Who wouldn’t want to befriend a future superpower?

“Whatever others can give me, I can obtain on my own; what they can’t, I will venture forth to find. So why should I lose my freedom over some minor benefits?” Gu Sheng said.

Xu Luo nodded, “Everyone has their own ambitions, but it seems you’ve aligned yourself with the wrong team.”

Gu Sheng’s mouth curved slightly, “My stance is the same as before.”

Xu Luo snorted coldly and then walked towards the gate.

Fan Yin also followed behind.

Watching the two head towards the gate, Gu Sheng turned to Blackie and smiled, “Well, do you feel confident against him?”

Blackie snorted coldly, “I am confident against anyone.”

“But it looks like if we want to head towards the Ascension Platform, we must find the teleportation point within the Netherworld Palace sector to reach the Mortal Realm sector, and then the Immortal Realm sector next. This teleportation point is likely inside this resting palace.” Gu Sheng spoke in a low voice, “If the clues are true, then we are quite behind and need to speed up.”

Blackie nodded noncommittally.

Then, he also walked towards the grand archway.

Several people arrived in front of the archway.

Xu Luo and Fan Yin exchanged a glance before stepping forward to try pushing the archway open.

However, as soon as they placed their hands on the archway, their expressions changed dramatically. The countless wailing souls carved into the archway seemed to materialize, eroding towards both of them.

With a soft shout, Xu Luo’s aura burst forth, but his aura was incapable of fending off those souls.

On the contrary, the wailing and shrieking of the souls pierced their eardrums, reaching directly into the Divine Soul Sea!

At the same time, each of their hands was grasped by pairs of the souls, refusing to let them escape easily!

Xu Luo and Fan Yin’s expressions shifted and they immediately focused the power of their souls to sever the clutching hands before they were completely trapped, then they swiftly retreated. The wailing souls vanished instantly, reabsorbing into the archway, and the clamor dissipated as if it had never occurred.

“As expected, it’s not going to be that easy,” Fan Yin said, furrowing his brow.

Xu Luo nodded in agreement, “It’s naturally not going to be that easy to enter the resting palace of the Six Realms Netherworld Master.”

“However… that doesn’t mean there’s no way at all.” As Xu Luo said this, he reached for his interspatial ring, about to take something out when

Gu Sheng suggested from beside them, “Brother Black, why don’t you give it a try? You seem to have a special affinity in this area, perhaps it will be effective.”

Blackie was thinking the same and thus bypassed Xu Luo and Fan Yin to stand before the archway.

Seeing this scene.

“You? A body cultivator?” Xu Luo scoffed, “Body cultivators are inherently weaker in matters of the soul, and this gate targets the soul specifically. Even I dare not bear it head-on. Aren’t you afraid that your sea of consciousness will be invaded by these souls and be directly possessed?”

Xu Luo’s mockery wasn’t without basis.

Body cultivators are known to be weaker in terms of the soul, that much is true.

But… there are always very rare exceptions.

Ignoring Xu Luo, Blackie, sometimes actions were more convincing than words, stood in front of the archway and without hesitation, slammed his hand onto it.

As expected.

A mass of wailing souls emerged once more, their shrieks like tsunamis invading Blackie’s sea of consciousness!

Witnessing this scene, Zong Yun anxiously commented, “Elder won’t be in trouble, will he?”

Gu Sheng simply laughed and shook his head, “Since he decided to give it a try, he must be confident. Even if he can’t open it, it won’t cost him his life.”

Xu Luo and Fan Yin stood with their arms crossed, waiting to see the spectacle.

But as everyone watched with bated breath,

The onslaught of wailing souls suddenly halted, and the clamoring instantly ceased.

As if they had encountered something terrifying, the souls turned and rushed back into the archway!

Dissolving back into it.

And at that moment, the towering archway emitted a heavy “creak” sound.

It then slowly began to open.

Xu Luo and Fan Yin stared blankly at the scene, not knowing what to say, their minds filled with question marks.

What, what was this situation?

Zong Yun looked on with admiration.

Watching Blackie’s receding figure, Gu Sheng’s lips curled into a smile as he murmured softly, “The secrets these people hold are indeed numerous…”
