Chapter 31 Your family’s revered god and I practiced dual cultivation every night for ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and nine...

Yu Yao/Wen

Xiche stayed in Yujing Palace for three days, under the name of "recuperation" but actually under "house arrest". When Xi Che realized this, his pupils trembled. He never thought that one day he would be under house arrest by Chu Yan. Chu Yan actually knew about house arrest? !

It was all his fault for trusting this guy too much. In the first two days, Xi Che didn't notice anything. He ate and drank well every day. When he opened his eyes, he saw Suzaku and Baihu playing around. Everything was fine. On the third day, Xi Che wanted to leave Yujing Palace and take a look outside, but he found that no matter where he went, there were palace maids and boys following him - not fake ones, but real boys and palace maids.

So Xi Che confirmed that he was under house arrest.

It’s not that Xi Che didn’t understand why Chu Yan kept him under house arrest. He would come to him every night and want to practice dual cultivation with him.

...

The doubts in his mind were piled up so much that they could be published in a book, titled "Why Did the God of Illumination Do That?" 》

Xi Che felt very guilty. He felt that he had harmed an upright god and turned him into a drunkard and womanizer who indulged in low-level pleasures. Now that the Spring of Inquiry has dried up, he must leave, otherwise Chu Yan will fall.

Moreover, he could not delay here any longer. Shennong was right. Ever since he transferred the cold poison in Chu Yan's body, the cultivation he gained from Daquan Jiuqian had been gradually consumed, just like riding a slide, declining by leaps and bounds. Xi Che must hurry up and find out what happened in the lower world before his cultivation level reaches the lowest point.

So Xi Che set his sights on the dream master.

Although Xi Che had not had many experiences of coming into contact with the Dream Master, he could easily see through what kind of person he was. The Dream Master was an earthly immortal who had gone through many hardships and tribulations before finally ascending to the Nine Netherworld Divine Realm. His predecessor was a demon and he had seen a lot. He cherishes his current position. To describe it in human terms, he wants to be a prime minister and assist a wise ruler.

That’s right, although Master Meng has no ambition to be a leader, he wants to be an assistant minister beside the leader and serve a wise ruler. By then, he can also become famous through the ages. The God of Brightness was undoubtedly his first choice. What would be his reaction if he knew that the God of Bright Light now had a succubus in Yujing Palace and that she practiced dual cultivation with him every day?

He will definitely expel me from the Nine Netherworld.

In order to make the dream master drive him out, Xi Che decided to take a drastic measure. He called back the White Tiger, and then used evil magic to summon the ghost on the sign left by Bi Yuan in Yujing Palace.

In order to make the scene look more exaggerated, Xi Che even drew a magic circle with his own blood, then sat in the center of the magic circle and began to recite the incantation. When he recited the incantation, black gas rose into the sky from the magic circle, and it was obvious that it was not a proper spell. However, because Xi Che's current strength is much stronger than at the beginning, he unexpectedly saw something else from this summoning.

"Xiaoyao Mountain?"

What kind of place is this? Why does it sound so familiar...

Xi Che's attention immediately shifted from deliberately trying to lure Master Meng over to Bi Yuan's sign. He closed his eyes and saw the remaining image on the sign: many black-haired corpses were piled on the ground, and then a man in pearly brocade clothes drew a magic circle in the air, and the corpses piled on the ground were sucked into the magic circle one by one and disappeared.

Xi Che suddenly opened his eyes, cold sweat on his forehead - why was it Jin Lingzi again, this bastard, it turned out that he was the one causing trouble.

Just as Xi Che was about to get angry, the palace door was suddenly slammed open by someone: "Who is it! Who is so bold as to use evil magic in Yujing Palace!"

Xi Che withdrew his hand, and the white tiger jumped into his arms, and he just happened to face Master Meng's angry face.

"Master Meng, it's you. Why are you making such a fuss? I was just drawing a magic circle for fun out of boredom."

Master Meng saw Xi Che sitting in the middle of a magic circle drawn in blood, smiling weirdly, and he was so angry that he almost went to the top of his head.

"You...how can you do such a thing in the palace of the God of Brightness! This is witchcraft!"

Xi Che waved his hand indifferently: "I did this in Jiuyou before, everyone knows it, it's a big deal."

Master Meng widened his eyes - that's why you were expelled from Jiuyou! Do they want their God to have the same fate as him? !

As if Xi Che was not angry enough, he got up from the ground, sat down on the bed beside him, and crossed his legs: "Don't nag me, I can't listen. I'm sleepy. You, the Mingzhao God, practice dual cultivation with me every night, and I'm very tired."

As he said this, he yawned.

Although Xi Che did not deliberately act in a seductive manner, the dream master felt that he became even more seductive. Thinking back to the time when the god of war Azas was also a well-known figure, he did not expect that after becoming a succubus, he really looked like a seducer. Moreover, judging from the degree of obsession that the God was with him, he even used the dream-building stone to meet him in dreams. In addition, now that he is a succubus, the God of Light will surely be unable to extricate himself.

Master Meng was furious, but he couldn't do anything about Xi Che. He was weighing whether he should take the risk and kill the monster in front of him, otherwise Mingzhao Shen would definitely be led astray by him.

But if I really killed him, the God of Illumination would definitely vent his anger on me. He had become enemies with the God of Law Enforcement because of Asasdu. Would he let me off?

Just when Master Meng was very conflicted, the demon sitting on the bed suddenly smiled at him: "Do you want to kill me?"

Master Meng was shocked: "You...!"

"You'd better give up this idea. If you kill me, Chu Yan will never forgive you. You might as well help me put down the ladder and let me go to the mortal world, so that I won't continue to seduce him, and at the same time, it will also fulfill your reputation as a wise minister."

Master Meng frowned and stared at Xi Che: "Are you so easy to talk to and willing to leave Mingzhao Shen?"

Xi Che pretended to sigh deeply: "To be honest, I've had enough of this Jiuyou and have wanted to go out for some fresh air. If you let me out, I can only thank you and will not blame you. If Chu Yan asks, you can say that I threatened you with death and had no choice but to let me go."

Master Meng understood when he heard this. It turned out that he had wanted to leave a long time ago. The reason why he said so much to himself was that he also wanted to use him. But he couldn't refuse. It would be best if he could leave on his own and he wouldn't have to worry about it.

So the dream master brought Xi Che to the ladder. He lowered the long ladder and said to Xi Che, "Just follow this ladder and you can leave."

Xi Che smiled and waved at him, "Thank you."

He had not walked up the ladder for a few steps when the dream master behind him suddenly called him, "Azas, for the sake of the god, you should not meet him again. You have died once, and you should know what it feels like to be expelled from the Nine Netherworlds and abandoned by your friends and relatives. If you really have any friendship for the Bright God, then don't appear in front of him again."

Xi Che paused slightly and looked back at the dream master, "Don't worry, I... probably won't have the chance to see him again in the future."

Although Xi Che often descended to the human world or led troops to conquer the demon world in his previous life, he had never walked this ladder. Every time he walked down with a saber in his hand, he killed like a tsunami. The first time he walked this ladder, he felt... it was really boring.

Fortunately, he still had some skills left in his body, so Xi Che made a hand gesture and used the Wind Control Spell to fly downwards, only wanting to reach the bottom of the ladder as soon as possible. What Xi Che didn't know was that although this ladder went straight up and down, there were actually many forks in the middle. Some led to the devil world, some led to the human world, and some even led to a small world that was not visible to the public today. Not all races are openly known to the world. Most races are tired of disputes and in order to protect themselves, they live in seclusion in a small corner of the world. Especially after the large-scale war between the gods and demons began, many races went into hiding to avoid disaster.

Xi Che used the Wind Control Spell to try to leave Jiuyou as quickly as possible, but the spiritual power fluctuations he caused affected the ladder. Xi Che ran very fast, but as he ran, he clearly saw that there was still a long distance ahead, but his feet slipped and he fell into a whirlpool. Behind the whirlpool was a black tunnel. Xi Che fell down in the tunnel and it took a long time before he reached the bottom.

Xi Che opened his eyes and finally saw his surroundings. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that this place was different from the human world in his impression.

There are no plants in the human world that look like snakes, right?

Damn, he’s still pestering me!

After Chu Yan returned to Yujing Palace, the first thing he did was to look for Xi Che. He had caught a golden unicorn in Tianhe today. It was only the size of a baby's fist, and he wanted to give it to Xi Che to raise and play with. In fact, he didn't know whether Xi Che liked this little thing, but seeing that he was usually very nice to the white tiger and always touched its fur, Chu Yan thought that maybe Xi Che liked this furry little thing.

Life in Jiuyou was boring, and Asa couldn't stand loneliness, so he often sneaked to Kunlun Mountain on the border of Jiuyou to catch small animals. Although he mostly captured adults to feed his stomach, he would occasionally capture cubs to raise... well, of course, they would end up in his stomach after they grew up.

But maybe he finds the process of raising a child interesting?

At least give him something to do when he's not around.

But when Chu Yan returned to the palace, he saw only an empty bedroom, bloodstains on the ground, a strange magic circle drawn on it, and the dream master standing next to it.

When Master Meng saw Chu Yan, before Chu Yan could open his mouth to ask, he stepped forward and knelt in front of Chu Yan with a "dong", holding a long sword in his hand: "Your Majesty! The person you are looking for has been released by me! If Your Majesty cannot forgive, then kill this old minister."

Chu Yan looked at the magic circle on the ground and saw Master Meng's behavior. What else was there to not understand? This must be Asa's plan...

Chu Yan suddenly had a bad premonition: "You put him on the ladder?"

Master Meng nodded and said, "Yes."

"Stupid!"

Chu Yan was immediately furious: "If you want to let him go, at least send him to the human world and then let him go. Letting him walk down the ladder alone, isn't that harming him?"

Master Meng was very confused: "What, what..."

Chu Yan didn't bother to explain to him. After he finished speaking, he immediately rushed out and hurried to find Xi Che. Since ancient times, people who set foot on the ladder to heaven can only be led to the underworld by gods. One reason is to show the will of gods, and the other is to guide them in the right direction. The ladder to heaven is covered with golden light and looks very beautiful, but it is actually hiding a dangerous intention. If you look at it with the naked eye, you can only see a straight line. It seems that if you walk to the end, you can reach the desired place. All you need is perseverance, not skills. In fact, the path on the ladder is complicated and full of mazes. If there is no one to guide you, it is easy to get lost in other dimensions when you walk up the ladder.

There are ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps in the ladder to heaven, which means there are ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine small worlds.

A long time ago, there was a legend in Jiuyou. There was a little god who was punished to be exiled to Jiuyou. By chance, he got a chance to return to Jiuyou. Someone led him up the ladder to heaven, but the person who led him only led him halfway. Suddenly, he found out that his chance to return to Jiuyou was stolen through fraud. Originally, they wanted to send him back to the human world, but the little god resisted with all his might. The spiritual energy on the ladder fluctuated, and the little god lost his way and took a fork in the road. Afterwards, the little god was devoured by evil spirits and infected by foul air in the small world. From then on, he was doomed and could never return to the Netherworld, and he could not even be a human being.

Asa’s cultivation level is low now and he doesn’t even have the ability to protect himself. If he gets lost, the consequences will be more terrible than death.

Chu Yan hurried to the entrance of the ladder, but there was no trace of Xi Che on it. Chu Yan's heart sank immediately. He flew onto the ladder, and his mind quickly flashed through those very dangerous races - Gou Tu, Bing Zhu, Ya Yu... Many of these dangerous races were exiled or even sealed in the small world. He just hoped that Asa would never meet them...
