Chapter 1124

"Brother, do you want to buy tanghulu?"

The little girl in red let out a tinkling laugh. Seeing that Gu Chen did not reply, she floated down from the stone statue and appeared before Gu Chen in an instant.

She raised her head. Her originally delicate face had instantly turned into a skull filled with maggots, looking extremely frightening.

Thankfully, Gu Chen had already calmed down after the initial shock. Knowing that the little girl's ghost liked to scare people, he did not get scared anymore.

He turned to the Ghost Emperor and could not help but ask. "Senior, what's going on?"

Only the Ghost Emperor could explain why the little girl appeared in the Underworld.

The Ghost Emperor came back to his senses and took in a deep breath.

"Back then, when the Underworld's bone ship descended upon the Kunlun Continent and picked up the Ghost King and me, we thought that only the two of us were on the ship."

"But after that, we realized that this little girl in red had followed us on the ship and appeared and disappeared mysteriously, causing everyone to be on tenterhooks."

"Initially, King Wuguan, who picked us up, wanted to subdue her or bring her to rest in peace, but he failed."

When the Ghost Emperor said that, King Wuguan revealed a bitter smile. "Speaking of which, it's embarrassing. The Underworld is supposed to be in charge of the Underworld, but we were scared shitless by this mysterious little girl."

"Just that one?"

Mo Yanshen's eyes widened. "After the bone ship returned to the Underworld, this little girl appeared and disappeared mysteriously in Fengdu. Even Ox-Head and Horse-Face were scared shitless by her. For a few days, the entire Underworld was not at peace!"

Tang Ning and Li Shunyu were dumbfounded. It was just a little girl's ghost, and yet so many higher-ups were helpless. That was something new.

"That still doesn't explain why she's here?" Li Shunyu asked in confusion.

"After the little girl caused a ruckus in the Underworld for a few days, she suddenly disappeared and did not show her face in front of anyone again. We thought that the expiation ritual for her was effective, so we gradually forgot about it. Who would have thought that when we opened the treasury today, she would actually be here! "

Mo Yanshen's face was filled with fear. Never in his dreams would he have thought that the little girl had not left the Underworld but entered the Yellow Springs Treasury instead.

"So she ran in by herself? Even Gu Chen needed the help of the Underworld Dao Sword to enter this place. How could a mere ghost do this? "

Tang Ning was extremely surprised. He pinched his fingers and tried to calculate the little girl's past and present lives, but he couldn't calculate anything.

The little girl pouted when she realized that being ugly wouldn't scare these people anymore. "Not fun!"

She angrily flew out of Huang Quan's treasury and went somewhere unknown.

"Ahem, we'll talk about her later."

Gu Chen coughed twice. He felt a little embarrassed when he thought of how he had lost his composure just now. He looked around the treasury again.

His first glance immediately fell on the stone sculpture that the little girl had just been sitting on.

This stone sculpture was perfectly round, and there were two distinct grooves on its surface. These grooves intertwined and finally merged together.

It looked very simple and unadorned, and the grooves on it could barely be called carvings. There was really nothing beautiful about it.

Other than the stone sculpture, most of the things left in the treasury were ancient books. There were some treasures as well, but not many.

No matter how they looked at it, only this stone sculpture fit the description of a life and death sculpture. Everyone looked at one another and surrounded it, sizing it up carefully.

Gu Chen's fingers touched the stone sculpture and felt a coarse texture, as though it was no different from normal stones.

Without a change in expression, he slid his fingers over and touched the shallower of the two grooves. Instantly, the entire groove shone with a strange white light!

The Heaven and Earth Essence Qi in the surroundings suddenly became lively. The Life Essence Qi in Gu Chen's body was activated as well, as though it was about to rush out of his body.

At the same time, all sorts of comprehension regarding the true meaning of life surged into his mind.

Gu Chen was shocked. His fingers continued to glide across the surface of the stone sculpture and landed on the other deeper groove.

Instantly, he went from the flourishing heavens of life to the Underworld. The surroundings were filled with an eerie wind and death aura as though nothing existed!

One life and one death, one yin and one yang.

Gu Chen suddenly understood the origin of this life and death sculpture. It carried yin and hugged yang, hiding life and accepting death. What was rare was not the material of the stone sculpture, but the two dao marks left behind by an unknown person!

These two dao marks involved the two daos of life and death. Each dao was broad and profound, and it would be difficult for those below the Dao Querying Realm to comprehend them.

What was even more shocking was that the two dao marks entangled on the stone sculpture and finally merged together, as though they were trying to explain something …

'Yellow Springs Immortal Emperor obtained his throne through the Dao of Death. If he wants to improve, he actually needs to comprehend this life and death sculpture. Could it be that the end of death is life? Life and death are not opposites, but one? '

Gu Chen muttered to himself. Under the stimulation of the two dao marks of life and death, there was a flash of light in his mind.

The Source of the Netherworld in his body automatically flowed with aura and changed according to Gu Chen's will, imitating the dao marks of death.

This was reflected in the black light of the life and death sculpture, which made Gu Chen look like a demon god.

Tang Ning, Li Shunyu, and the higher-ups of the Netherworld also felt the strangeness of the life and death sculpture, but there was no change like Gu Chen. They couldn't help but look at each other.

"Don't disturb him."

In the end, everyone came to a consensus. The opportunity to comprehend was hard to come by. They consciously retreated further away and looked at the other parts of the Yellow Springs Treasury.

Gu Chen actually stood there for three days and three nights. When he came back to his senses, his face was filled with regret.

'It's a pity that the Overlord Body isn't here. Otherwise, I might be able to pry into the big secret of the Dao of Life and Death.'

Because he had the Source of the Netherworld in his body, under the stimulation of the dao runes of the life and death sculpture, Gu Chen had all sorts of enlightenment.

The Overlord Body sealed the Source of Life. If he came into contact with this life and death sculpture, he would definitely be able to pry into a part of the true meaning of life.

If the Immortal Body and the Overlord Body combined, he would be able to pry into the Dao of Life and Death at the same time. Gu Chen felt that his understanding in this aspect would improve by leaps and bounds!

It was a pity that he could only think about it for the time being. The goal of the Overlord Body was to comprehend the golden runes in his body. Just the golden runes alone were enough to take up all his energy.

'The realm involved in this life and death sculpture is too profound. It might be more suitable to comprehend it after I reach the Dao Querying Realm. Haste makes waste. This item is temporarily useless to me. '

Gu Chen was deep in thought. His eyes emitted a purple-green light as he carefully examined the sculpture.

He finally understood the use of this item. It could be said to be extremely precious. However, he still couldn't figure out how it was the key to entering a certain huge relic.

He believed that if Fang Wen wasn't lying, there should be something special about this sculpture.

Gu Chen carefully examined the stone sculpture. His fingers touched every part of its surface and finally touched the bottom edge of it.

There was an inconspicuous mark there. When Gu Chen touched it, a rather domineering aura hit his mind.

"This is an item given to the Immortal World by the Tyrants.
