"The path of the Netherworld is even more powerful than the path of immortal cultivation. It is to cultivate with the body of the dead and seize the secrets of heaven and vitality. However, in ancient times, the Houtu God on this path made the path so powerful that it was on par with the path of immortal cultivation and the path of martial arts. Most importantly, there are too many paths of cultivation in the human world. The path of the Netherworld is only a single path."
Rao Wuqing spoke slowly, his tone especially solemn.
Jiang Ming's ears sharply picked up on certain words!
"In the original world, there was a primeval mythological system that gave birth to countless powerful gods, such as Pangu, Hongjun, and so on. Perhaps some were fabricated. However, Houtu was indeed a mythological figure that existed in reality. Regardless, that's the world of the past. Why is there a Houtu God in this world? Is it a coincidence, or did the original world also have immortal cultivation legacies, and those mythical stories themselves were real and not fabricated by our ancestors?"
At this moment, Jiang Ming only felt that his mind was in a mess. He did not know what to think!
But soon, Jiang Ming suddenly smacked his forehead.
"Friend, were there any Houtu Gods in your era?"
"Yes, a Houtu God is an ultimate existence in every era. Moreover, this is just a general term and not a specific person. You just need to be an expert in the path of the Netherworld." The black sword's voice rang out slowly. "Besides the great cultivation of heaven and the great cultivation of earth, there is the great cultivation of humanity. It includes the human race, the demon race, and all other living beings.
"In addition, Saints are also divided into several major categories. Some control the great cultivation of heaven, and some control the great cultivation of earth. However, no one has been able to control the great cultivation of humanity. This is because the great cultivation of humanity had many existences just as strong as Saints overseeing each race. This led to the great cultivation of humanity not having an ultimate leader. However, the great cultivation of heaven is different.
"As long as one obtains the recognition of the great cultivation of heaven, they can become a Heavenly Saint. Although they are still under the great cultivation of heaven and are under its jurisdiction, they are far stronger than ordinary Saints.
"The last thing I want to talk about is the system. There was always only one Houtu God. It meant that there was only one person who could control the system. In a sense, the status of a Houtu God was far superior to those Heavenly Saints and every other ordinary Saint!"
At this point, the black sword looked like it was going to speak frankly. However, it was stunned by Jiang Ming's question.
"What was the final outcome of the Houtu God of your era and the Houtu Gods of the earlier eras?"
The black sword fell silent.
After a while, it slowly replied, "They all died… Including my master…"
The black sword's voice became increasingly low and weak, as if its words triggered terrifying memories!
There was a horrifying apocalypse back then!
Even Heavenly Saints and Houtu Gods were destined to die. They could not even try to survive.
That was the Great Destruction!
The Great Destruction that had destroyed countless eras of civilization!
When Jiang Ming heard the black sword's trembling and desperate tone, he fell silent for a moment.
What kind of calamity was this?
He had seen it in the memories of the owner of the black sword. It was a power that could destroy the world.
However, Jiang Ming still could not understand it.
He had already cultivated to the Golden Core Realm and possessed supernatural powers that ordinary people could not imagine in their lifetime. In the eyes of mortals, he was a true immortal.
In the face of such a catastrophe, even the invincible Houtu God who controlled the system could not escape death?
Then, what was the point of cultivating immortality?
Then, was Jiang Ming qualified to climb to the peak of martial arts?
At this moment, a shocking movement called Jiang Ming back to his senses.
It was the resurrected heart!
Giant tentacles rose up and bound one cultivator after another. They dug out one heart after another and then gave birth to even more terrifying tentacles.
"Run!"
Jiang Ming roared without hesitation, mainly for Wu Hen, Ying Sha, Huai Mei, and Zhu An'an to hear.
The four of them reacted.
Wu Hen carried Zhu An'an and rushed forward.
Ying Sha directly revealed the true body of the Dark Water Mystical Snake, raising his speed to the maximum. He carried Huai Mei, who had almost been killed, and ran away.
Gu Chi and the others were also in a panic. If it was not for Rao Wuqing's powerful strength and Master Zhai's Ten Thousand Sword Beacon Formation that was still in effect, some of the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land cultivators would have already become nourishment for the growth of the Flame Demon Heavenly Lord's heart!
The individual cultivators and cultivators of the other factions also frantically ran into the distance, afraid that they would lose their lives if they were a little slower.
Jiang Ming narrowed his eyes and took a few steps back with a gloomy expression. Soon, he disappeared from the area.
However, unlike other people who were running around, Jiang Ming's goal was very clear. He ran directly to another passage.
"Friend, I have to say that bringing you along is like bringing a map along. You can actually tell that there's a passage that leads straight to another path!"
Jiang Ming could not help but sigh.
"Hehe, of course. I've recovered so many memories, and my horizons have increased by a hundred or a thousand times! To be able to see through such a small trick is simply an easy task… However, I want to remind you that you might not be able to return if you run."
The black sword was still feeling smug. However, after a few seconds, its tone became a little weak.
Jiang Ming was stunned and asked subconsciously, "What do you mean?"
"This path and the passage just now are constantly changing. I don't seem to be able to sense that passage anymore…"
