Chapter 135 Three Lives, Three Worlds, Southern Beginning 17
After Nan Chusheng offered sacrifices to his primordial spirit, the primordial spirit entered the interior of the Eastern Emperor Bell.
The interior of the Eastern Emperor Bell was filled with the karmic fire of the Red Lotus. As soon as Nan Chu entered, she felt her soul being burned by the raging flames.
Nan Chu had no idea how long she had been inside the Eastern Emperor Bell.
The Red Lotus Karmic Fire possesses extremely high temperatures, and the 'impurities' contained in Nan Chu's primordial spirit were gradually burned away.
The interior of the Eastern Emperor Bell is filled with flames, and there is no concept of time.
Through years of effort, Nan Chu successfully tamed the Red Lotus Karmic Fire. Through the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, Nan Chu finally learned about the internal structure of the Eastern Emperor Bell.
She observed Qingcang huddled in a corner inside the Eastern Emperor Bell. Qingcang was connected to the Eastern Emperor Bell, and even if he couldn't tame it, he could use it to find a place to live inside.
Nan Chu used the Red Lotus Karmic Fire to kill Qing Cang directly.
Qing Cang suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the woman with a transparent primordial spirit. Red lotus karmic fire surrounded her, as obedient as a pet.
"Who are you?" Qing Cang asked loudly.
"Hmph! The dead don't need to know." The woman uttered cold words.
"Arrogant!" Qing Cang was enraged.
Since he obtained the Eastern Emperor Bell, no one has dared to speak to him like this. The Eastern Emperor Bell is under his control, and if he wants the world to be destroyed, he can destroy it.
A ruthless glint flashed in Qing Cang's eyes as he punched the woman.
Nan Chu dodged with incredible speed, while Qing Cang's attacks became increasingly fierce.
While activating his magic, Qingcang also used his magic to protect his body.
Once Qingcang's magical power was nearly exhausted, Nan Chu gently waved her hand, and an invisible force instantly sent Qingcang flying, with the Red Lotus Karmic Flame enveloping him.
Having lost his magic power, Qing Cang was left to be slaughtered at will.
"Don't kill me. Once we're out of the Eastern Emperor Bell, whatever you want, I, the Wing Lord, will grant it to you." Seeing that force wouldn't work, Qing Cang tried to bribe him.
Nan Chu glanced at Qing Cang casually, then said nothing more, letting the Red Lotus Karmic Fire take action directly.
How could Qing Cang, who was bloodthirsty by nature, possibly withstand the burning of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire? Only those with pure souls or little pollution can withstand the burning of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire by willpower.
Qing Cang turned to ashes, without even the chance to be reincarnated.
Nan Chu slowly examined the Eastern Emperor Bell, and the system said that there were fragments of the Underworld Key inside.
They flew to the center of the Eastern Emperor Bell, where it was completely dark, and the Red Lotus Karmic Fire could only linger on the periphery.
Nan Chu couldn't see anything in the center at all; he could only feel its heavy and solemn atmosphere.
A moment later, a divine soul entered Nan Chu Yuan Shen's body.
She felt like her head was about to explode. Her transparent primordial spirit contained two opposing forces, red and blue, constantly clashing.
It took a long time for Nan Chu to gradually regain control of her body.
A fragment of a key floated beside Nan Chu. Nan Chu opened her eyes and saw the last fragment. She was excited. After so many years, the mission was finally half completed. Once she collected all the keys, she could open the Underworld.
"System, quickly merge the key fragment in the system space with this fragment," Nan Chu said excitedly.
The system responded, and a dazzling light flashed in the dim center of the Eastern Emperor Bell. The three fragments finally merged together, forming the shape of a seal.
Nan Chu examined the seal with suspicion. It was engraved with symbols of the underworld and the Bridge of Helplessness. She then put the seal away.
She began to think about how to escape from the Eastern Emperor Bell.
"Host, you may consider subduing the Eastern Emperor Bell," the system voice announced.
Nan Chu then began a long process of spiritual tug-of-war and power clashes, attempting to tame the savage Eastern Emperor Bell.
In Qingqiu, Bai Qian stayed in the fox den for 70,000 years. During that time, she unknowingly saved a little snake named Shao Xin.
Over the years, Sang Ji, the second prince of the Celestial Tribe, has been trying to win Bai Qian's heart, but Bai Qian has no interest in him.
Sang Ji, that unlucky fellow, was forced to come to Qingqiu due to the arrangements of the Heavenly Emperor and the Fox Emperor, while facing Bai Qian's indifference.
Bai Qian disliked being around Sang Ji, especially recently, as the wedding date arranged by the Heavenly Emperor and Bai Zhi had arrived, and Sang Ji came to Qingqiu every day.
Seeing this, Bai Qian could only arrange for Shao Xin to take care of Sang Ji, while she avoided Sang Ji.
If Nan Chu were to say that she was so disgusted, she should have just called off the engagement. Why didn't Bai Qian's father, Bai Zhi, dote on her? Why isn't he helping Bai Qian cancel the marriage? Bai Zhi's love also has its own agenda.
Sang Ji was able to become the most talented of the Heavenly Emperor's three sons, yet he couldn't see through Bai Qian's intentions.
He wasn't someone to be trifled with. Since Bai Qian disliked him so much, he didn't need to give her face.
Sang Ji lived in the fox den for three months. Shao Xin's meticulous care made Sang Ji feel genuine affection, and he decided to take this opportunity to break off his engagement with Bai Qian and marry Shao Xin.
Sang Ji made this decision for two reasons. First, he couldn't stand Bai Qian and Qing Qiu's unreasonable and arrogant attitude. Bai Qian didn't like him and refused to break off the engagement, even though it was the Fox Emperor Bai Zhi who came to the Heavenly Clan to arrange the marriage in the first place.
Secondly, he wanted this incident to prove that Sang Ji was not someone who could be easily dismissed, and that he also had his own temper.
Sang Ji had Shao Xin transform into a small snake, hide it in his sleeve, and take it to the Heavenly Clan.
Mo Ze descended to the mortal realm to cultivate and become an incarnation. Without Ye Hua, the Celestial Clan had no one capable of supporting them. The Heavenly Emperor was still a schemer who didn't think about improving his cultivation but instead spent his days plotting petty schemes.
After the Heavenly Emperor returned to the palace, Sang Ji knelt on the ground and begged Bai Qian to annul his engagement and marry Shao Xin instead.
The Heavenly Lord was furious. What is the current situation of the Heavenly Clan? The five Supreme Gods of Qingqiu are not just for show.
Sang Ji began to lament that Bai Qian in Qingqiu did not take the marriage seriously, and that he went to Qingqiu every day but Bai Qian would not see him. Finally, Sang Ji said that he and Shao Xin were truly in love.
The Heavenly Emperor ordered Shao Xin to be imprisoned in the Demon Locking Tower. Sang Ji, however, did not give up his idea of annuling the engagement and, given his genuine feelings for Shao Xin, forced his way into the Demon Locking Tower to rescue her. He even threatened to kill himself to beg the Heavenly Emperor to spare Shao Xin.
The story of Sang Ji and Shao Xin spread throughout the four seas and eight wastelands.
Bai Zhi came to Zhe Yan and said, "The Heavenly Clan has made Bai Qian lose face. Zhe Yan, you must come with me to find the Heavenly Emperor."
Bai Zhi spoke sincerely, saying that he not only wanted to annul the engagement, but also demanded that the Celestial Clan apologize.
Upon hearing this, Zheyan understood Bai Zhi's meaning: he was simply seeking territory. Five of the Eight Desolations belonged to Qingqiu, yet he still wanted to expand his territory.
Zheyan didn't want to get involved in this matter. The seal on the Eastern Emperor Bell was about to be broken, and Nan Chu should be waking up soon. He wanted to stay with Nan Chu.
Zheyan refused Bai Zhi's request, saying that he was going into seclusion and should not be disturbed.
Bai Zhi is not good at fighting, while Bai Zhen and the others are gods who have risen to the rank of immortals through secret methods. That's why Bai Zhi came to Zhe Yan, hoping to use Zhe Yan's strength to intimidate the people of the Heavenly Clan.
Upon hearing Zheyan's refusal, Bai Zhi almost lost control of his expression, his face stiffening. In the end, he said nothing and left.
The next day, Bai Zhi still took Bai Zhen and the others to the Heavenly Palace to settle accounts with the Heavenly Emperor.
The Heavenly Emperor, having been in the wrong first, agreed to Bai Zhi's request to annul the engagement.
Bai Zhi demanded that the Heavenly Lord apologize. The Heavenly Lord, a schemer, could not stand to be taken advantage of. He directly revealed Sang Ji's treatment in Qingqiu and said that Bai Qian of Qingqiu was being unreasonable.
The two engaged in a heated exchange, but Bai Zhi dared not go too far, after all, the Celestial Clan still had Donghua, Moyuan, and Yaoguang in charge.
In the end, Qingqiu received partial compensation, including some useless cultivation materials.
Sang Ji got what he wanted. Under Bai Zhi's threat, Sang Ji moved to the North Sea to become the Water Lord and was able to marry Shao Xin. However, Shao Xin's status was such that she could not be his wife, but only his concubine.
Sang Ji immediately stated that he would only marry Shao Xin.
