The Empyrean stone tablet.

This was a place in the Empyrean Mystic Realm that stored the legacies of generations of the Empyrean sages.

There were a total of 20 to 30 stone tablets!

They were completely black.

There were tadpole-like words carved into them.

Shen Ran quickly came to the third stone tablet from the bottom. He sat cross-legged and scanned the stone tablet with his divine sense.

As soon as his divine sense swept across the stone tablet, information instantly surged into his mind.

Sect Master Netherworld?

Through the inheritance information left in the stone tablet, Shen Ran learned that the person who left this inheritance was the third Sect Master of the Empyrean Sect 4,000 years ago, Netherworld!

It was said that when the Netherworld Sect Master controlled the Empyrean Sword Sect, because he had the bloodline of the former Netherworld Emperor, he broke through to the True Emperor Realm in less than a hundred years and became a peerless expert in the Southern Region.

Later on, he created a divine power called the Netherworld Enlightenment. If one could comprehend the profundities of the Netherworld, one would be able to transform into the Netherworld.

It could be said that it was not too much to be reborn with a drop of blood!

However, when this Netherworld Sect Master cultivated the Netherworld Enlightenment, he was attacked by the Demon Cult.

In the Grand Myriad Mountains, he was besieged by several Demon Cult True Emperors and fought his way through an abyss. In the end, he died in the battle.

When Shen Ran was checking the inheritance left behind by the Netherworld Sect Master, Meng Ling, who was not far away, suddenly had the feeling of emptiness and missing something.

It was as if something that should have been his suddenly left him.

He looked at Shen Ran suspiciously and finally shook his head.

I must be mistaken, he thought.

With that, Meng Ling casually chose a stone tablet and began to comprehend the Dao profundities inside.

At this moment, after Shen Ran’s divine sense entered the Netherworld Stone Tablet.

Suddenly, he felt the world change. The surrounding world seemed to have turned into an ocean.

In the ocean, there was a tall old man in a purple robe.

This person distorted the surrounding space as if he had torn open the void. He took a step forward. He looked like an ordinary old man and did not even seem to have the power of cultivation.

But he just had to stand in this tawny ocean like a supreme being!!

Meeting those terrifying eyes, even Shen Ran felt a strong sense of suffocation.

It was as if he was facing a terrifying demon god!!

A magnificent aura of death lingered, like the depths of the Abyss of Death!

At this moment, the tall old man’s body suddenly flickered with the light of thousands of mysterious runes.

The large area of the Netherworld under his feet seemed to come alive.

A wave rolled up, pushing his body infinitely higher.

Shen Ran saw that the gray sky was also torn apart by this wave!

A strange energy seemed to be attacking the sky.

This is Dao profundity, this is the power of the Netherworld!

Sensing this strange scene, Shen Ran was shocked.

Immediately after, he closed his eyes and sat down. He fell into the Netherworld and carefully comprehended the rules inside.

Above the sea of clouds.

Sect Master Ouyang Tianming, who had passed through the Ninth Heaven’s strong wind area, was sitting opposite an old man and drinking tea.

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Ouyang Tianming glared at him angrily.

“Patriarch, shouldn’t we teach the Demon Cult a lesson for planting spies in our Empyrean Sword Sect this time?!”

If he hadn’t discovered it early this time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

The dignified Empyrean Sect Dao Seeds were all pawns of the Demon Cult.

Ouyang Tianming broke out in cold sweat.

Xu Qingyun took a sip of tea and said calmly, “We naturally can’t let the matter of the Demon Cult rest!

In a month’s time, I’ll come out of seclusion!”

Hearing that the patriarch was planning to come out of seclusion, Ouyang Tianming looked happy and asked reverently,

“Patriarch, have you already broken through?”

He had been the sect master for nearly 300 years.

Ever since Ouyang Tianming became the sect master of the Empyrean Sword Sect, the patriarch had been in seclusion.

Otherwise, the Empyrean Sword Sect would not have gradually declined.

Xu Qingyun sighed faintly.

“How can it be so easy to break through after the True Emperor Realm?”

Ever since he established the Empyrean Sword Sect 5,000 years ago, Xu Qingyun had been stuck at the seventh level of the True Emperor Realm!

Not to mention pursuing the opportunity to become a Martial Monarch!

The higher his cultivation level, the harder it was to increase his realm.

One could be stuck for thousands of years in any small realm.

Fortunately, he was at the seventh level of the True Emperor Realm and could live for 7,000 years.

But even so, after so many years, he was still a step away from breaking through.

Just as Xu Qingyun was about to continue, he suddenly looked down at the mountain peak below.

He frowned, looking surprised.

This kid actually obtained the inheritance of the Netherworld?!

Xu Qingyun’s eyes pierced through the void, as if he could see everything inside the stone tablet.

Seeing the patriarch’s shocked expression, Ouyang Tianming hurriedly followed Xu Qingyun’s gaze.

He was only at the Emperor Realm and could not see Shen Ran at this moment.

“Patriarch, what surprised you so surprised?”

“Hehe, it’s nothing. I was just a little surprised to see that Shen brat. I didn’t expect him to actually obtain the Netherworld Enlightenment inheritance!” After Xu Qingyun retracted his gaze, he smiled faintly.

The Netherworld Inheritance?

Ouyang Tianming was a little stunned.

“This person is lucky.”

As the current Sect Master of the Empyrean Sword Sect, he was no stranger to the Netherworld.

He was a True Emperor Realm expert who was famous for hundreds of thousands of miles in the Southern Region.

If not for the fact that he and the two Demon Cult True Emperors had died in the Grand Myriad Mountains back then, the Empyrean Sword Sect would definitely be even stronger than now!

At this moment, Shen Ran did not know about the astonishment of the two of them.

He focused all his attention on comprehending the profundities in the Netherworld.

A few days later, a terrifying aura of death gradually emanated from him.

“Crack!”

Shen Ran heard a crisp cracking sound in his mind.

Immediately after, he felt the spiritual energy in his body rise dramatically and surge into the sky!
