C538 Martial Arts Competition
C538 Martial Arts Competition
"Yellow Spring? Did I come to the world after my death?"
Whether it was the Earth where Wang Hao was in his previous life or the Essence Martial Continent where he was in this life, there were all legends about the world after his death.
The same thing was that after a person died, their soul would follow the Yellow Springs all the way down to the Underworld, receive judgment regarding the sins of his previous life, be punished in hell, or drink the Meng Po soup and enter the next life.
Wang Hao looked into the distance and saw that on the shore of the Yellow Spring, there were many people with dull expressions and semi-transparent bodies walking towards the downstream of the Yellow Spring step by step.
"Are those the souls of the deceased? Why am I here? Could it be an illusion?"
Wang Hao closed his eyes, trying to control his strength. However, he was shocked to find out that he couldn't feel Yuan energy or bloodline.
At this moment, his body was like an empty shell.
"It's the transformation of the Purple River Carriage. It has brought me here. How should I return?"
Even as Wang Hao was pondering the matter, two figures suddenly appeared from the lower reaches of the Yellow Springs, heading upstream.
These two figures had human bodies, but no faces. One of them had a human body and a horse face, and the other had a human head and a cow head.
"Ox-head and horse face?"
According to the legends, the Ghost Messengers of the Underworld were in the form of Ox-head and horse face.
Ox-Head and Horse-Face each had a chain in their hands. They tied the chain to the wrists of the wandering souls that were walking on the shores of the Yellow Springs. Then, an unknown force pulled the wandering souls downstream, and they soon disappeared.
Ox-Head and Horse-Face moved very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of Wang Hao.
Horse-face took out a new chain from his waist and aimed it at Wang Hao's arm. Wang Hao instinctively tried to dodge, but he felt a suction force from Horse-face's palm, making him unable to move.
The suction force was not big, but there was an irresistible force mixed within.
Just as Horse-Face was about to succeed, Ox-Head suddenly stopped.
"Wait a moment!"
Horse-Face stopped and looked at Ox-Head in confusion. "Why did you call for a stop? This is the last one we have today. We'll be able to hand it over once we capture it back."
Ox-Head didn't answer immediately. He leaned his head closer to Wang Hao and sniffed with his bronze ring nose.
Horse-Face didn't understand. He also came over and sniffed. He asked curiously, "Why does it smell like a living person?"
Ox-head said affirmatively, "They are indeed living people. Fortunately, I stopped you. If we capture a living person in the netherworld, we will be thrown to hell for three years."
Horse-Face was a bit angry. "How can there be living creatures in the netherworld? How detestable. But seeing that this guy only has a quarter of his life left, he will come here sooner or later."
Wang Hao wanted to speak, but found that he couldn't. He heard Ox-Head say, "Since his life isn't over yet, let's go back!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ox-Head gently pushed Wang Hao's body, causing him to fly into the sky. In his eyes, the Yellow Spring was getting smaller and smaller until it could no longer be seen.
When Wang Hao opened his eyes again, he was still in the secret chamber of the Beast Trapping Tower. The dense purple mist underneath him had already dissipated, and the Purple River Carriage had returned to its original state.
"Could it be an illusion?"
Wang Hao shook his head hard. Everything that had just happened was still vivid in his mind. "No! It was definitely not an illusion!"
"Ya! You're awake! "
Ni Kong's slightly worried voice rang out by his ear. Wang Hao turned his body to look and saw that Ni Kong and Wen Dun had both woken up.
Wen Dun smiled and said," Every time the Purple River Carriage reaches this point, there will be a change of half an incense stick's time, causing people to fall into an unimaginable world. Whether it is an illusion or not, I can't tell. "
Ni Kong said worriedly, "Wang Hao, are you alright? You have been absent-minded for the time it takes an incense stick to burn."
Wang Hao took a deep breath and said, "I'm fine. What did you see?"
Ni Kong rushed to answer, "I saw a lot of things that happened before I knew Winston. But every time, I only had half an incense stick of time, so I did not get much information."
Winston also opened his mouth. "I'm the exact opposite of Forbidden Sky. What she saw was what happened in the past. As for me, what I saw was the future. We have already experienced the changes of the Purple River Carriage six times, and each time, we saw different things. "
He paused for a moment before continuing, "The scene that I saw this time is related to you."
"Related to me?"
Winston nodded. "In the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, I saw the Martial Arts Competition that is about to be held!"
"The meeting has reached its end. You are fighting with a guy who calls himself 'Death God'. The Purple River Carriage is emitting a dazzling light."
"I heard the arrogant smile of 'Death God', and I saw your angry eyes."
"It seems like something very terrifying has happened, but when I wanted to see it clearly, I woke up."
Winston said to Ni Kong, "This time, I have a bad feeling about the Martial Arts Competition. Let's not participate."
"No!" Ni Kong refused decisively, "The Purple River Carriage can help me recall my past. I will definitely fight for it!"
Wentton was slightly helpless, but he still chose to support Ni Kong. "Alright, I will help you."
Ni Kong hugged Wen Tong's thick arm happily. "Wen Tong, I knew you would be the best!"
"Alright, stop messing around. Let's go back first."
"Alright! Leave it to me!"
Reverse Space activated his ability. The three of them instantly disappeared from the secret chamber and returned to Wang Hao's room in Heaven District.
Ni Kong asked curiously, "Wang Hao, you have been in a daze for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. What did you see?"
Wang Hao's expression darkened, "I didn't see the past, nor the future..."
"I saw the Yellow Spring."
"And I have not only seen it, but I have also personally experienced it. It is as if I am already dead..."
Winston and Space Defying looked at each other, they both saw the disbelief in each other's eyes.
"Forget it." Wang Hao organized his emotions. "I'm going to cultivate. The Martial Arts Competition is about to begin. The Purple River Carriage is not just something you guys want!"
Wen Dun pulled Ni Kong up and said, "Since that's the case, I won't disturb you anymore."
Ni Kong chuckled and said, "If the Martial Arts Competition meets me, you have to let me have it. If I get the Purple River Carriage, I will definitely lend it to you!"
The two of them left. Wang Hao was cultivating with his body coiled up, but he was unable to calm his heart down for a long time.
The Yellow Spring was still vivid in his mind.
He muttered to himself, "Combined with what Winston saw, something big must have happened in Martial Arts Competition. It's very likely that I couldn't escape this calamity and was killed."
"No matter what, I will get the Purple River Carriage!"
"The guy nicknamed 'Death God', who are you?"
...
Wang Hao cultivated for another month and a half. His realm had successfully broken through to the fourth level of the Spirit Martial Stage and consolidated it.
During the last half month before the start of the Martial Arts Competition, Wang Hao did not continue staying in Heaven District. He found a steward and used the price of lowering his social status to exchange for many precious forging materials.
He strengthened the Dragon Abyss Sword, True Dragon Jade Pendant, True Dragon Eye, and Heavenly Devil Zither, raising their quality to the fifth level of the Earth Rank!
As for the Wordless Heavenly Monument, because it did not help the Martial Arts Competition, Wang Hao did not waste any time to strengthen it.
During this period, Wang Hao also did another thing. He opened the Fifth Grade New Gift Bag.
"System Notification, you have opened the level five New Gift Pack. You have obtained a Treasure Change Scroll, a Demon Extinguishing Blade, and a level six New Gift Pack."
"Treasure Change Scroll. A scroll. It can erase the soul imprint on Profound Artifact and treasure."
"Demon Extinguishing Blade. Treasure. It is specifically used to kill Devil Cultivator and Devil Thing. It can only be used after one has tempered their Divine Power."
"A Rank 6 New Gift Bag that contains rich rewards. The requirement to open it is to reach the third level of the Divine Martial Stage and pay 100,000 Essence Crystal."
There was no need to pay attention to the Sixth Grade New Gift Bag. Wang Hao needed to reach the Divine Martial Stage and become a Great Sovereign before he could open it.
He looked at the Treasure Change Scroll and the Demon Extinguishing Blade in his inventory and fell into deep thought.
"Based on my understanding of the System, every item it gives contains a profound meaning."
"This is the second time I've obtained a Treasure Change Scroll. The previous Treasure Change Scroll allowed me to take away the God Treasure from the Mother Insect."
"Then, where should I use the treasure to change the owner of the scroll again?"
Suddenly, a thought flashed across Wang Hao's mind. "Could it be... the Purple River Carriage!"
"But the Purple River Carriage is an ownerless item. Why would the treasure need the scroll to change owners?"
"Who is the mysterious person who stole the Purple River Carriage from the Artifact Refining Association? Since he has already gotten his hands on it, why did he throw the Purple River Carriage out and hold the Martial Arts Competition?"
"What is his purpose!?"
The more Wang Hao thought about it, the colder he felt.
"And this Devil Extinguishing Blade, its material is very fragile. Even Earth Martial Stage warriors can destroy it."
"It only has one use, and that is to deal with Devil Cultivator and Devil Thing. Could it be that a Devil Cultivator and Devil Thing have appeared in Martial Arts Competition this time?"
Thinking of the Devil Thing, the first figure that flashed across Wang Hao's mind was Li Weidan.
But immediately after, he mocked himself, "It can't be Li Weidan. This is the Holy Domain. If he dares to come here, would the supreme beings of the human and demon race let him go?"
"No matter what, the Devil Extinguishing Blade will be of great use."
Wang Hao stepped into the God Treasure. The seed he planted had already grown into a small sapling. The height of the sapling was only at Wang Hao's knee, but the divine energy emitted from it was fascinating.
Unfortunately, mortals could not absorb the divine power.
Wang Hao took out the Demon Extinguishing Blade from his inventory and placed it on top of the divine tree.
When he let go, the Demon Extinguishing Blade floated on the divine tree. It slowly rotated and began to absorb the divine power that flowed out of the divine tree.
Half a month's time quickly passed by while he was busy.
Finally, the Martial Arts Competition began!
When Wang Hao walked out of the ground once again, a huge change occurred in the Beast Trapping Tower. The huge battling platform had expanded by three times.
After announcing that the Martial Arts Competition was going to be held, the buildings in the Beast Trapping Tower had been expanded by three times!
Even the platforms prepared for the warriors had been expanded from two to four.
Looking down from the platform, it was like looking at the small mountains!
