Chapter 125 Three Lives, Three Worlds, Southern Beginning 7
Zheyan and Nanchu stayed at Taichen Palace. Zheyan went to Donghua every day to discuss matters, while Nanchu went to the library to read books every day.
Si Ming frequently visits Nan Chu, wanting to know about Dong Hua Di Jun and Nan Chu Shang Shen.
Nan Chu naturally said it was the second time they had met, but Si Ming didn't believe her. He had finally been looking forward to a woman coming to Tai Chen Palace, and she was an outstandingly beautiful and highly cultivated female immortal. How could Si Ming not be happy?
Whether there was something to do or not, Si Ming would go to Nan Chu to curry favor and inquire about Nan Chu's relationship with Emperor Donghua.
Nan Chu was very annoyed by this. She had a very bad impression of Si Ming. When Donghua Dijun went down to the mortal realm to undergo his tribulation, Si Ming casually told Bai Fengjiu about Donghua's tribulation, thus disrupting Donghua Dijun's tribulation. After returning, Donghua's cultivation was reduced to less than one-tenth.
Regardless of their motives, the God of Fate arbitrarily alters the fates of others.
Once Nan Chu has collected the keys to the underworld, matters such as tribulations and reincarnation will be managed by the underworld.
Nan Chu's indifference finally made Si Ming stop looking for her, and Nan Chu quietly read books in the library.
Zheyan and Donghua discussed it for a long time and finally decided to tell Moyuan about it.
After Mo Yuan secretly arrived at Tai Chen Palace, Chong Lin found Nan Chu, who was engrossed in reading.
Nan Chu walked up to them, and Mo Yuan glanced at her before remaining silent.
Nan Chu recounted what had happened before, while Mo Yuan frowned the whole time. This matter was far beyond his comprehension; he had never heard of a formation that could absorb spiritual energy.
Before coming to Taichen Palace, Mo Yuan was puzzled as to why Zhe Yan and Dong Hua had asked him to come to Taichen Palace secretly. Mo Yuan also lied to his disciples, saying that he was going into seclusion for a period of time.
"I am unaware of this evil formation. I wonder if any of the books in Kunlun Mountain describe it?" Mo Yuan asked solemnly.
“In that case, let’s split into two groups: one to find out who’s behind this, and the other to find out about this formation,” Zheyan said wistfully.
"The fact that the mastermind could set up such a sinister formation right in front of the three of us proves that he is no ordinary person. He must have some knowledge that we don't know about, and these things may be his backup plan," Mo Yuan said coldly, his expression becoming serious as he spoke.
"Lord Nan Chu, could you take us to see that formation?" Mo Yuan asked Nan Chu.
“Yes, we can go and check the formation to see if we recognize it,” Zheyan agreed.
After the two reached a conclusion, Donghua interjected, "If all three of us go to the Three Desolations at once, wouldn't that alert the enemy?"
"We can cultivate a fake body to create the illusion that we are still in Taichen Palace or Kunlun Void," Zheyan suggested.
Nan Chu smiled faintly at Zhe Yan, indicating that she agreed with this viewpoint.
Without delay, Mo Yuan and Zhe Yan went to practice creating a fake body, while Nan Chu quietly stayed in the library reading.
Forty thousand years ago, people already knew that Nan Chu was a little peacock picked up by Zhe Yan, and became an immortal twenty thousand years later. At that time, the Heavenly Emperor wanted Lian Song to visit Nan Chu.
Zheyan helped her intercept some interactions. Others had never seen Nan Chu in person, and only knew that there was a god named Nan Chu who had the cultivation of an immortal.
Of course, Bai Zhi, the Fox Emperor of Qingqiu, had never met Nan Chu, otherwise he would have known that Nan Chu was not a peacock, but a phoenix.
Bai Zhen had indeed met Nan Chu, but his cultivation was illusory, and Zhe Yan had helped Nan Chu conceal his true form, so apart from Dong Hua, Mo Yuan, Yao Guang, and Zhe Yan, no one else knew about it.
Nan Chu is also low-key and has never made an official appearance, so Nan Chu's whereabouts are not important.
A few days later, Zheyan and Moyuan created fake bodies. Zheyan returned to the Ten Mile Peach Blossom Forest, while Moyuan secretly returned to Kunlun Mountain. He then made a brief appearance at their location, created a fake body, and finally quietly arrived at Taichen Palace.
Nan Chu led Dong Hua and the others to the Southern Wilderness, to the foot of an ordinary mountain, and used the formation she had learned from the system to enter the cave.
The spring no longer emits black smoke, but the water is completely black, with blood-red words and patterns carved around it.
Mo Yuan had been deep in thought since entering the cave, and his expression became even more serious when he saw the formation.
“I know nothing about this formation, and it is completely different from the formations of the Four Seas and Eight Desolations,” Mo Yuan said.
“Indeed, it is a very evil formation,” Zheyan said worriedly.
"Could we set up a surveillance system around the formation? That way, if someone comes to check the formation, we can find out who's behind it," Nan Chu suggested.
“This is indeed a method. Mo Yuan, do you think it can help?” Zhe Yan asked.
“It may take some time,” Mo Yuan said.
Donghua's expression remained solemn. Could the destruction of the Four Seas and Eight Deserts be related to this formation? However, after analyzing it, he discovered that the formation was only part of the whole, proving that there was an even bigger conspiracy.
"Should we leave first?" Nan Chu looked at Dong Hua. She felt very uncomfortable here, as the atmosphere here repelled the life force she cultivated.
After a while, Nan Chu's face turned pale. A surge of life force continuously emerged around Nan Chu, resisting the aura within the formation.
"Okay." Zheyan didn't say anything and just agreed. He quickly walked to Nan Chu's side and channeled his cultivation into her. Only then did Nan Chu's expression become less unpleasant.
Donghua erased the traces, and the four of them exited the cave in the same way as before.
Mo Yuan went to think about the formation, while Zhe Yan and Dong Hua, having nothing else to do, continued to discuss matters.
Nan Chu became the most relaxed. A dozen days later, Nan Chu led them back to the cave. Mo Yuan set up an array, and then went to the Western Wilderness and the Northern Wilderness to set up arrays in turn.
Donghua and Nanchu returned to Taichen Palace, Moyuan quietly returned to Kunlun Mountain, and Zheyan also returned to the Ten Mile Peach Blossom Forest.
Nan Chu came to Taichen Palace because of its room full of books.
Zheyan said they would pay attention to the formation and told Nan Chu not to worry too much.
Nan Chu wasn't worried at all. Her mission was the Underworld, and since she didn't have any fragments of the key, she could only improve her cultivation and knowledge.
Nan Chu guessed that the plot hadn't started yet, so the key fragments hadn't appeared.
