My Wife is A Sword God

“No longer exists?” Qin Feng’s eyes widened as he found this news too horrifying to digest all at once.

On the other hand, Senior Xuan Yi’s shadow began to shake upon hearing these words.

He seemed to remember something, but whenever he tried to recall it, a mysterious force interrupted his thoughts.

“Impossible!”

Cang Feilan, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up, “In the history of the Dragon Clan, there are also records of the Immortal Realm and the Netherworld.” 

“The laws of Heaven and Earth in those two places are far more powerful than those in our mortal realm. Even in ancient times, when gods and demons descended, they could not wipe out humanity. What kind of existence could wipe out the Netherworld realm?”

Su Tianyue didn’t argue, but asked, “In your Dragon Clan’s history, there should also be descriptions of the Netherworld Realm. After all the living beings in the mortal realm disappear, their souls are drawn to the Netherworld. Is there a problem with that?”

Cang Feilan thought for a moment and replied weakly, “There is indeed such a thing.”

“Do you know when the Netherworld realm stopped pulling the souls of the world?” Su Tianyue asked.

Cang Feilan thought for a moment before shaking her head. There were no relevant records in the history of the Dragon Clan.

“It was before the ancient gods and demons descended upon this heaven and earth, or to be more precise, about five thousand years ago.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng fell into a state of contemplation.

When he first entered the National Academy, he had once seen the scene of the Descent of Gods and Demons from Senior Xuan’s perspective.

According to the records in the Academy’s books, one could vaguely deduce that the time of the Descent of the Gods and Demons was three thousand years ago.

First, there was a disturbance in the underworld, followed by the invasion of gods and demons into the human world. Could it be that there was an inevitable connection between the two?

Su Tianyue paused for a moment before speaking again, “It may be biased to say that the Netherworld no longer exists, but one thing is certain.”

“It seems that there is something powerful that has changed the laws of the Netherworld so that it no longer attracts the souls of the human world.”

Upon hearing this, everyone showed astonished expressions.

At that moment, Xuan Yi’s body swayed even more noticeably.

Qin Feng was greatly alarmed and asked hastily in his mind, “Senior Xuan, are you alright?”

Xuan Yi waved his hand, “I’m fine. Hearing your words seems to have restored some of my lost memories.”

“But every time at a critical moment, I am interrupted by an inexplicable force. It seems that there is something that does not want me to remember.”

Cang Feilan frowned slightly, “Do you know that changing the laws of heaven and earth in one realm is as difficult as erasing a realm?”

“I am aware of that, but the fact remains.”

“In fact, I have always had a doubt in my heart. In the Immortal Realm, the laws of heaven and earth should be the most powerful among the three realms.”

“After all, for most of the powerful ancient beings that exist in the human world the only way to improve one’s cultivation and break the shackles of Heaven and Earth is to attract and absorb the aura of the Immortal Realm.”

“Since that’s the case, why would those gods and demons settle for second best and invade the human realm?”

“They should be looking down on our Heaven and Earth.”

A single statement awakened the dreamer, and Qin Feng was suddenly enlightened.

The Long River of Ten Thousand Years has long turned the past invasion of gods and demons into a legendary existence.

For a few knowledgeable people, their impression of it might only remain at the level of fear.

But it seems that no one has ever thought about why gods and demons covet this heaven and earth.

“Looking at history, in most cases of invasion, it is because of insufficient local resources or harsh living conditions, forcing them to open their fangs to other territories.”

“But this reason does not seem to apply to the invasion of gods and demons from the immortal realm into the human realm.”

“Could it be that just like in the Netherworld, something unusual has happened in the land of the Immortal Realm?” Qin Feng speculated.

He glanced at Xuan Senior, who seemed to be remembering something, but showed no reaction.

Su Tianyue glanced at the crowd’s expressions and slowly said, “The Fox Clan ancestor recorded her speculations in the clan’s history – the root of all this seems to be the changes in the Netherworld.”

“Perhaps something terrible is happening between the Netherworld and the Immortal Realm, but we are unaware of it.”

Bai Wudi shrugged her shoulders, “Whatever the gods and demons or the Netherworld are, if they dare to appear before me, I’ll just twist their heads off.”

Um, Xiao Bai’s mother is indeed quite fierce, daring to say such things as twisting off the heads of gods and demons. Qin Feng did not react, but said, “No matter what happens in the Netherworld and the Immortal Realm, with our abilities, we cannot afford to think about it.”

“What we should be thinking about most is how to stop the Netherworld Gate from opening in the mortal realm.”

“After all, no matter what the current situation is in the Netherworld, its appearance is not good for us.”

Actually, Qin Feng had another question in mind. According to the Fox Clan Chief, the Netherworld was closely connected to the mortal realm, so the seal was not as strong as that of the Immortal Realm and could be opened from the inside.

But after the Saint strengthened the Heaven and Earth Seal, it has been so long.

Why haven’t these mysterious ghost-faced people acted before, and why are they acting now?

Could it be that they found the opportunity to open the Netherworld in the Western Region?

Qin Feng’s mind flashed back to the scene in the Heavenly Reflecting Stone, the giant shadow that covered the sky, and suddenly he had a flash of insight: “I remembered!”

The sudden movement caught everyone’s attention.

Only Qin Feng’s deep voice could be heard: “Mao Yin, just now in the mirror image, that huge black shadow was Mao Yin!”

One of the many powerful demons on the Night of the Divine Feast.

It fed on the remains of gods and demons, causing its own soul to change abnormally, and it gained terrifying abilities.

Among the Demons and Ghosts of the Divine Feast, its strength was enough to rank among the top three.

The sudden change in the Western Region, where there is no trace of the souls of the demons and ghosts who have died, has probably been absorbed by it.

Su Tianyue’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. Back then, numerous saints slaughtered countless gods and demons to prevent their innate divine abilities from wreaking havoc on the mortal realm.

They used a powerful technique to dissolve their corpses and remnants.

However, with the vast number of gods and demons, there were always beings that were overlooked by the saints. One such example was the gods and demons who were devoured by the multitude of demons and ghosts on the Night of the Divine Feast.

“Our Fox Clan ancestors also recorded information about the Demons and Ghosts of the Divine Feast. Those demons and ghosts who had acquired formidable abilities wanted to become new gods and demons by devouring the rest of existence.”

“A great war broke out among them – some died, some were wounded, and some escaped.”

“After this battle, Mao Yin disappeared without a trace, rumoured to have been badly injured and fallen into a deep slumber.”

But unexpectedly, Mao Yin reappeared here in the Western Regions,” Su Tianyue recalled.

Qin Feng added, “According to the books I’ve read, Mao Yin acquired the innate divine ability to summon Netherworld Ghost Fires by consuming the remains of gods and demons.”

“This ability resembles the eerie green flames in the illustration. Perhaps these mysterious masked figures discovered Mao Yin and obtained the means to open the passage to the Netherworld.”

“In other words, to prevent the Nethergate from opening on Earth, we must prevent Mao Yin from awakening.”

With this in mind, Qin Feng continued to recount what they had encountered along the way, mentioning the dark miasma and saying, “If I’m not mistaken, as long as we find the source where the miasma converges, we’ll be able to locate Mao Yin.”

“However, Mao Yin’s power is extremely formidable, and those high-ranking figures among the ghost faced men will surely be guarding it.”

“We must find the Western Region Commander and inform him of this matter.”

“If possible, it would be best to send someone to Imperial City to request assistance.”
