Chapter 547: Root (2)

“Young Master, since you call me senior, I have a request.”

When he spoke up to here, the Earth Spirit stood up and bowed to Jiang Li.

“Senior, if there’s anything, just say it. Don’t stand on ceremony.”

Jiang Li stepped forward to hold the other party’s hands, but he noticed that the hands were as heavy as mountains, and he was actually unable to lift them for a time.

Three breaths later, the Earth Spirit slowly stood up.

“Do you like those four girls?”

Jiang Li really liked this question.

It was not that he was greedy for beauty, but the four girls were also extraordinary and were greatly beneficial to him.

“They are the four extreme yin qi born on my Back Yin Mountain when the Yin-Yang qi collided with the solar eclipse in the past five thousand years.”

“They have been attached to the earth vein for more than a thousand years. By chance, they were able to awaken their intelligence and become spirits. They are extremely beneficial to us Earth Spirits.”

“The extreme yin qi also has the power of Yin-Yang harmony. Even us Earth Spirits can give birth to children with them!”

…

First of all, after he became an Earth Immortal in the future, he had to gather the three flowers on his head and condense the five qi in his chest.

This extreme yin qi was one of the best materials for the five qi in his chest.

As for the power of Yin-Yang harmony, it was something that was hard to find in heaven and earth.

Some prehistoric variants and immortals who had obtained the Dao with spiritual treasures were originally unique in the world. There should not be the possibility of reproduction.

However, as long as one had the power of Yin-Yang harmony, regardless of whether they were separated or not, or even without the other half, they could reproduce on their own.

It was just like how a phoenix had accidentally swallowed the power of Yin-Yang harmony and gave birth to a peacock.

These were all asexual reproduction.

Although Jiang Li did not need it for the time being, it was indeed a rare good thing.

“I’ll give the wedding invitation to Young Master. I only hope that Young Master can bring the Earth Vein Heart out of the Back Yin Mountain and escape the control of that Granny Nether Mountain!”

“In the outside world, you only need to find a mountain for me that I can barely stay in.”

The Earth Spirit finally revealed her goal. She had not done anything to Jiang Li earlier.

The four spirits formed from the extreme yin qi were indeed rare treasures.

This deal was enough to tempt Jiang Li.

After reaching out to wipe away the word “wedding”, he signed his name.

The Earth Spirit old woman opposite him was overjoyed. This could be considered accepting her deal.

After signing his name, Jiang Li immediately sensed something.

With a raise of his hand, the four girls in the attic above often transformed into pure extreme yin qi and flew over. After circling around his hand a few times, they entered and disappeared.

After reaching a deal with the Earth Spirit, Jiang Li did not forget his goal.

“Senior is the Earth Spirit of this place. Do you know the origins of that Granny Nether Mountain?”

Jiang Li naturally wanted to deal with the fellow who occupied the Back Yin Mountain.

However, up until now, he only knew the other party’s name. He still knew nothing about that person’s strength and methods.

To be able to occupy a dangerous place like the Back Yin Mountain, the other party’s strength was definitely not bad. It was definitely impossible for an Earth Immortal to escape.

Jiang Li did not want to fail here because of his arrogance.

Before approaching the other party, it was necessary to know oneself and the enemy.

It was just like how a certain Monkey King surnamed Sun would call out the local Earth Deity to ask when he did not understand something.

As an Earth Spirit, this entire mountain range seemed to be her body.

It was not easy to hide what happened to his body from his master.

Even if the Earth Spirit had been hiding from Granny Nether Mountain, she knew 99% of the demons and ghosts on this mountain like the back of her hand.

The Earth Spirit hesitated for a moment before telling him what he knew.

“That Old Demon Nether Mountain was actually formed from a broken root!”

.

Jiang Li was originally quite calm, but after hearing this, his expression could not help but tense up.

“A broken root!?”

The Earth Spirit did not know why Jiang Li was so agitated, so she could only continue.

“Young Master, you might not know this, but although my mountain has been around for a few years, my intelligence has only been born for more than five thousand years.”

“Before I developed intelligence, there was a broken root embedded in this mountain range.”

“That old root was extremely old and was entangled in the main branch of the earth vein. However, it had long lost its vitality.”

“At first, I didn’t care much, but at some point in time, that broken root actually came alive again.”

“It started to extract my earth vein and even captured countless ghosts on the mountain.”

“It was not until 500 years ago that the tree root finally became strong enough to break out of the ground and call itself Granny Nether Mountain!”

“Its methods are cruel and powerful. It controlled the entire Back Yin Mountain in a short period of time. If I hadn’t obtained a treasure in my early years, my intelligence would have been sucked dry.”

This Earth Spirit was not the Mountain Deity who had obtained the Dao during ancient times. Instead, it was reborn 3,000 years after the spiritual qi recovery.

Therefore, she could not tell what the huge tree root was. It was different from all the plants on the Back Yin Mountain.

However, Jiang Li had a bad guess.

If the huge root that had been passed down in ancient times was really as big as the Earth Spirit described… it could not be such a coincidence.

…

In the Netherworld, the sunlight could not enter, so it was even darker during the day and was not suitable for traveling.

The next day, when the moon rose again, a sedan flew out of the small building in the darkness.

The four charming and beautiful figures were not sitting in the sedan, but carrying it.

The four of them looked weak and powerless, but the sedan was as light as a piece of paper in their hands as they rushed up the mountain.

For some reason, the small sedan was still enveloped in darkness.

It was as if all the light that approached this place would be swallowed by something and disappear, making it impossible to see the figure on the sedan.

The person sitting in the sedan was naturally the only Alliance Leader of the Great Mountain Alliance, the current City Lord of Fengdu City.

Jiang Li sat calmly on the sedan and enjoyed the service of the four new maidservants.

He was still in the mood to leisurely poke a paper lantern hanging beside him.

Inside, a special black flame was burning.

As the black flames swayed, the black layer of darkness on the sedan also swayed.

It turned out that the black color that enveloped him was actually the flames emitted by this flame.

It was a type of spiritual fire born on the Back Yin Mountain.

It was called the Lightless Fire.

According to the tradition of the Yin Mountain, everything here had to be the opposite of normality.

Ordinary flames would light up the surroundings when burning, but this Lightless Fire was the complete opposite.

In the area enveloped by its flames, it would fall into darkness.

Jiang Li could not understand if it absorbed the surrounding light or if it would really release “black flames”.

In short, all probing methods would be greatly reduced under the envelopment of this darkness.

The darkness that enveloped the small building earlier originated from this.

In the past 500 years, the Back Yin Earth Spirit could hide the core of its mountain range under the nose of Granny Nether Mountain because of this kind of heaven and earth spiritual fire.

The other party originally wanted to use the cover of the Lightless Fire to let Jiang Li escape with the Earth Vein Heart and go as far as possible.

However, not only did Jiang Li not leave, he even had to participate in that person’s full moon banquet.

The Earth Spirit had no choice but to give Jiang Li a wisp of the flames to protect himself.

With this small flame, it might not be of much help in battle, but when hiding, it was too useful.

After walking for a few hours, he saw a cliff in front of him. It was straight, smooth, and impossible to climb.

Only on the broken arm were thick purple vines that seemed to be able to climb up the cliff.

However, if he really climbed up those vines, he would probably die without a burial ground like the skeletons under the cliff.

“Young Master, the Purple Vine Cliff is ahead. The old demon on it is a general under Granny Nether Mountain. He must have an invitation!”
