In the desolate Lingxu Mountain in the eastern part of the mortal realm, the sounds of agony and wailing are incessant. In almost an instant, blood flows like a river, and the horrifying crimson blood water winds its way down the mountain paths along the streams. The air is filled with a thick, nauseating smell of blood.
"You beasts! How dare you brazenly slaughter the people, surrender at once!"
A pale-faced, long-bearded Immortal Lord stood in the clouds, shouting down from a position of superiority.
However, countless spirit beasts seemed to vent their anger, angrily biting the people in their mouths.
" Immortal Lord Fangyuan, we simply cannot break through the barrier of Lingxu Mountain. We might as well report back to Immortal Lord and make a plan."
"But we can't just stand by and watch innocent people suffer!" Immortal Lord Fangyuan pressed on with his spellcasting, but he was already exhausted, his withered hands trembling uncontrollably.
" Immortal Lord Fangyuan! It's not just Lingxu Mountain now, there are spirit beasts causing chaos all over the mortal realm. If we delay any longer, the situation will only get worse!"
The heart-wrenching wails continued to pour out from the mountains. The longer they lingered here, the more innocent people would die.
Seeing the barrier as impenetrable as a fortress, Immortal Lord Fangyuan could only reluctantly withdraw his magic.
"Heavenly soldiersHeavenly soldiers, listen up! There are still spiritual beasts causing trouble in various places of the mortal realm. You must go immediately to eliminate them!"
"Yes!"
In less than a moment, the immortal realm in the Nine Heavens learned of the current tragic situation in the mortal realm.
Inside the palace surrounded by brilliant light, Immortal Lord gazed with a worried expression at the weak Immortal Lord Fangyuan. His tightly knitted long beard and white eyebrows hung down like two tassels, giving him the appearance of a dignified and immortal being.
"The management of the underworld is in chaos. I never expected that the spirit beasts escaping from the underworld would not only be numerous, but also extremely brutal and fierce. It seems that the Dark Emperor Qiong Qi is useless. Speaking of which, the immortal realm has been too peaceful for too long. If these spirit beasts continue to run wild like this, I'm afraid the great chaos of the world from ten thousand years ago will happen again."
The Immortal Lords are no longer as carefree and leisurely as they used to be, their expressions now as cold as frost-bitten eggplants.
The Immortal Lord cast a glance at these accustomed and carefree Immortal Lords, his brows furrowing even more tightly.
"The three realms have been peaceful for too long. Now it's time for you to go all out and exterminate the spiritual beasts. It might be difficult."
At this moment, a handsome and elegant figure, with a red mole on his forehead, walked out - the Little immortal lord.
"Immortal Lord Grandfather, I once heard that thousands of years ago, the Ancient Divine Beast Bai Zhe depicted the appearances and weaknesses of 11,520 spiritual beasts, and wrote the " Bai Zhe Diagram," which allowed the immortal clan to rule the four seas and stabilize its position as the number one in the three realms. If the " Bai Zhe Diagram" is used, it will surely slaughter those beasts and monsters to the brink of extinction."
" Immortal Lord Changle is still young and unaware of the events after the initial establishment of the three realms. The " Bai Zhe Diagram" was destroyed by Qiong Qi when Immortal Lord and Qiong Qi agreed to a truce."
"The Divine Beast Bai Zhe has been burned, so where is it now? It is said that the Ancient Divine Beast Bai Zhe can make all the beasts in the world tremble in fear. If Bai Zhe appears, it can also suppress those mischievous spirit beasts."
As Immortal Lord Changle spoke, he looked at the various Immortal Lords with a puzzled expression, and an ominous premonition inexplicably arose from the bottom of his heart.
"Could it be that the Divine Beast Bai Zhe has also...?"
He saw the avoiding gazes of the Immortal Lords and turned to look at the complex expression of the Immortal Lord.
The Immortal Lord sighed and said with some guilt, "The Divine Beast Bai Zhe did not perish. She has been in the underworld for thousands of years and has never left."
The underworld is dark and murky, with every inch filled with foul miasma.
Outside the Ghost Gate, there is a creature with a body as red as burning flames, without facial features, but with six legs and four wings. It flaps its wings to cross the Forgetfulness River, which is strewn with corpses and bones, and passes through the wailing eighteen levels of hell inhabited by evil spirits. It then crosses the blood-scented Shi Volcano to reach an ice-cold, bottomless frozen lake.
The water is shallow when clear, green when deep, and abyssal when black.
The lake water of azure becomes darker as it goes deeper, like the gaping mouth of a devouring abyss, just one glance gives a suffocating feeling.
The flashing wings of the meatball gradually come to a stop, and its six feet lightly tread upon the surface of the lake.
Suddenly, a layer of ice-blue barrier instantly appeared on the surface of the lake, and the empty Abyss suddenly echoed with a low hum, causing the barrier under the paw to gradually disappear.
The paw slowly sank into the lake.
It swam towards the depths, not knowing how long it had been swimming, until a faint light appeared at the bottom of the abyss.
Ten dazzling Mermaid's Tears in this pitch-black Abyss also lost their luster and appeared dim and colorless.
Mermaid's Tears gathered around a woman dressed in an ethereal white dress. She sat with her legs crossed, her eyes half-closed, and her black hair elegantly floating with the waves.
" Bai Zhe, Bai Zhe, your Jiang'er has come!"
Upon hearing the magnetic and clear voice of Di Jiang, Bai Zhe slowly opened his eyes.
A pair of solemn and majestic red pupils, completely at odds with the desolate scene.
"Hey, I've known you for thousands of years, but every time I see your eyes, it scares me."
Di Jiang transformed into human form the moment he landed. Although his original form had no face, when he took on human form, he looked handsome and majestic.
He smoothed out the gorgeous and splendid feathers on his body, swaggered across the Mermaid's Tears, and knelt in front of Bai Zhe, propping his chin on his hands, looking up at Bai Zhe.
Bai Zhe's pale lips curled slightly, and in the blink of an eye, the pupils in his eyes returned to their ink-black color.
She raised her slender palm and tapped Di Jiang's forehead with her index finger.
"I told you there's no need to come every day, didn't I? The Abyss is where the Yin miasma of the underworld gathers. Although you are an Ancient Divine Beast, frequent visits here may end up like me."
"I have been listening to you the most. It has been restless outside these days, and I haven't come to see you for five days," Di Jiang muttered with a stifled breath, holding his forehead.
"Five days?" Bai Zhe's expression showed a hint of desolation. "Staying in this place without seeing the light of day for so long, even the passage of time becomes uncertain."
"If it weren't for you depicting the ' Bai Zhe' painting back then to help the Immortal Clan deal with the Spirit Clan, you wouldn't have ended up in this situation today."
Di Jiang gazed at Bai Zhe, feeling more heartache than blame.
"At the beginning of chaos when heaven and earth first opened, the heavenly way created Ancient deities and Ancient Divine Beasts like you and me. The Ancient deities then created humans. Thus, the three races of immortals, spirits, and humans were born, bringing calamity to the world. Although I am of the spirit race, I cannot stand by and watch the suffering of living beings. You know all of this."
"Yes, but because of this, you are resented by the spirit race. After the three realms were established, you were suppressed by Qiong Qi in this desolate place. Even the immortal race acquiesced to Qiong Qi's actions. And those human races you helped, they have almost forgotten about you, this Ancient Divine Beast who has always been dedicated to the people."
Di Jiang is indignant, but has long forgotten that Bai Zhe is a divine beast with the power to know all things in the world, including ghosts, gods, and human affairs.
When she decided to help the immortal clan, she knew that this day would come.
