History's Number 1 Founder

In the dim Heavens and Earth, the Nine Nether Draught spread in void space as if it was like streaks and streaks of black light. As it moved in void space, it froze everything that came into contact with it.

On the Earth, bright-red and dirty blood pus was everywhere, as if they formed a sea of blood. On the surface of this sea of blood, huge blood bubbles formed before they burst, revealing a suffocating, fishy smell.

Within the se of blood, everything did not seem to exist. Only dim yellow river water seemed to flow silently. It was weird and unpredictable, evoking a sense of terror. It seemed capable of cleansing everything, but was also capable of making everything pale-white and lose their sense of life.

Countless gullies cracked open on the Earth. As the sea of blood and dim yellow river met these gullies, they flowed down like a waterfall.

But before these waterfalls reached the bottom, purplish-blue fire had already shot out from the depths of the valley into the sky. As the fire collided with the dirty blood and yellow river water, cracks started to open in space.

Below the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire, there was still the Heaven Apocalyptic Blaze burning ferociously. Although it was not as brutal as the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire, it kept on swallowing stuff up to strengthen itself. It revealed a sense of greed and evilness.

Above the cracked valley and below the Nine Nether Draught, the Earth surged with the Avici Infernal Gale, that resembled fog and wind at the same time. The Avici Infernal Gale flashed with red light and amidst the red light, there seemed to contain countless ferocious ghosts and evil souls. They clawed and screamed in horror.

The brutal squall kept on brushing against the Blood River Primordial Water and River Styx Primordial Water, causing an intense collision.

The Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire, Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze, Blood River Primordial Water, River Styx Primordial Water, Nine Nether Draught and Avici Infernal Gale were boundless over here, although they were rare outside of this place.

Rather than saying this alternate plane of space contained such disastrous elements, it was much more appropriate to say that this world was actually formed from these disastrous elements.

Besides, different types of catastrophes raged in this boundless world. It seemed to be the apocalypse, and this place was not one that was suitable for life to breed.

Even for those who were rich with experiences and were very resilient, stepping in this world would present a whole new challenge for them.

That was because this was the Netherworld Sea, one of the Grand Celestial World Seven Seas. Besides the Spirit Sea and Death Sea, this was the most mysterious place.

Over here, there were no resources or life around. What was boundless were only destructive powers and catastrophes.

Even the normally messy Void Sea, the Void Battleground, did not have frightening space-time turbulence that happened all the time. While cultivators were in peril as they entered the Void Battleground, they could still find places to hide themselves.

But in the Netherworld Sea, all types of evil forces were around at all times. This was a world fully formed from disaster.

But in this world, there was a region where space was entirely distorted. It was as if it underwent changes all the time.

The messed-up space formed even smaller worlds within this world that relied on the existence of the Netherworld Sea. They were like huge bubbles in the Heavens and Earth.

These bubbles were separated and never contacted one another. Besides, it was not even for them to meet one another too, because of the continuous space-time disturbance. From afar, they seemed very close, but they were actually very far apart. From one of the small world, even if someone came out, he would find it difficult to go to other small worlds.

At the same time, it was very rare for someone to come out from the small worlds and step foot in the Netherworld Sea, which would subject them to the catastrophes around.

In these small worlds, the environments were much safer than the outside even if there were still the various disasters that ran riot too.

Although the small worlds did not interact one another and it was difficult to sense the presence of the other small worlds, they were actually connected by the presence of something ridiculous.

This thing was a streak of entirely red light beam erected in the Netherworld Sea. It was like the heavenly pillar in the center of the Netherworld Sea.

But one would feel uncomfortable when he saw this light beam. In his heart, he would feel petrified, frightened and develop a sense of peril.

As the different worlds intersected, they surrounded this light beam.

One of the small world was surrounded by black fog all year round and no light could reach it. In the center of the fog, there was a huge pavilion, which did not seem very exquisite, but had an aura of majesty.

But this pavilion carried an eerie feel to it, which greatly dimmed the aura of majesty that it possessed. This also added a sense of mystery to this pavilion.

In the pavilion, the end a tunnel led to a chamber. Outside the chamber, there were four stone statues that were black and tall. They revealed an aura of evilness and death.

Suddenly, the four statues jerked at the same time and they seemed to come alive. They all turned to the other side of the tunnel.

Ove there, there was a youth in black whose complexion was pale-white as paper and who looked charming. However, he looked very evil as he walked towards the chamber.

As the youth walked just outside of the chamber, he stopped and did not speak.

Whereas one of the stone statue turned towards the chamber and a deep voice rang, "Master, Gong Zize is here."

After a long while, the door to the chamber opened suddenly. The youth entered and the door closed after him. The stone statues also descended into silence.

Inside the chamber, a Daoist in black robe had his back facing the door a he sat cross-legged quietly.

The four walls, ceiling and floor of this chamber seemed to be transparent. They could be seen through and the scenes outside of the chamber could be observed as a result.

The youth turned to the Daoist and greeted, "Greetings to Master."

The Daoist did not say anything and continued sitting there. The youth who was called Gong Zize did not seemed rush too and he knelt down on the floor, as he waited for the Daoist to finish what he was doing.

"What's the matter?" After a long while, the Daoist finally stopped and asked.

Gong Zize replied, "There's news from the Ancient Longevity World that Lin Feng is paying a visit to over there. He wants to propose marriage for his disciple, Xiao Yan, to the daughter of Gu Jun, Zhener."

The Daoist said, "This is expected."

Gong Zize was silent and the Daoist stood up from his position. He then turned to look at Gong Zize, "I know that you are interested in Gu Zhener, but this notion of yours should be removed long ago. Otherwise, you will thwart the plans of His Majesty and I. The current plan is for the Great Void Sect and Celestial Sect of Wonders to challenge each other. It's not good for us to reveal ourselves."

This Daoist turned around, revealing himself to be a middle-aged man. He looked handsome and had a long beard. However, he just seemed a little pale and he revealed a sense of eeriness that might be a little too overbearing.

However, his gaze was even more scary. Looking into his eyes was like looking at the destructive scenes in the Netherworld Sea.

"I…understand." Gong Zize looked indignant at this point. His aura seemed a little unstable too, but very soon, he curbed his impulse and regained his calmness.

The Daoist looked at him, "It's good if you understand. Even if this trip is just for the sake of proposing marriage, I think it'll make the ties between the Ancient Longevity World and the Celestial Sect of Wonders closer. The Great Void Sect won't just sit and do nothing."

Gong Zize nodded his head, "Your words are right, Master."

"When His Majesty succeeds, do you think that you can't even obtain a girl? Don't let yourself be too caught up with your yearnings. In that way, you will be unable to accomplish anything." The Daoist said, "After so many years, His Majesty has finally appeared again. I have been working hard in the Netherworld Sea for so long. It's finally my time to shine. No one and nothing can spoil this!"

Gong Zize kowtowed and said, "The Samsara Priest and the River Styx Priest have both perished. Xu Anda betrayed His Majesty and was punished. His Majesty only has you as his successor. After this matter succeeds, you will be the leader of countless people."

This Daoist was the third disciple of the Netherworld Emperor, the Nether Priest. All these years, he remained hidden in the Netherworld Sea and had been plotting his comeback.

He shook his head, "It's still a little too early to be saying all these now."

Gong Zize asked, "But the Catastrophic Broken Rock in the Ancient Longevity World, and Xiao Yan…"

The Nether Priest waved his hand, "The time is still not ripe. When the War of the Two Worlds begin, we shall do what we need to do."

"Yes, Master." Gong Zize nodded his head. After hesitating for a while and turned to the Nether Priest, asking, "Master, how is His Majesty's recovery? The Celestial Sect of Wonders, Great Void Sect, Great Qin Empire and Great Zhou Empire are all finding him. Besides the small worlds of the Netherworld Sea, where else is safe?"

The Nether Priest looked at him quietly, "This is not something that you should be asking."

Gong Zize bowed, "It's my fault for speaking recklessly, please forgive me Master."

The Nether Priest shrugged his sleeves, "Go to the Netherworld Lake and stay there for 10 days as punishment."

"Yes, Master." Gong Zize trembled a little and seemed to think of something frightening. However, he did not dare to rebut. Instead, he walked out of the chamber obediently.

After he left, the four stone statues shook slightly. One of them said coldly, "Once it's something to do with the daughter of the tribe leader of the Gu Family, Shen Tuze becomes foolish." (Translator's Note: Shen Tuze is another name for Gong Zize.)

"He is the best among Master's disciples. With his current cultivation, in this small world of ours, he is indeed the most outstanding. He is also one of the few better ones under His Majesty." Another stone statue said, "If he can overcome this barrier in his heart, his potential will be unlimited."

The first stone statue to speak snorted, "I hope today's matter can wake him up, otherwise, he will really disappoint Master. He will not have any room to progress then."

As Shen Tuze walked out of the tunnel in the pavilion, he looked down. He walked quietly to the Netherworld Lake that he was asked to go to.

Those who entered the Netherworld Lake seemed to step into the Netherworld Sea, but their lives wouldn't be in danger. But to those punished, it was undoubtedly a suffering that was worse than death itself.

But as Shen Tuze sank into the Netherworld Lake and was totally covered by the water, he revealed a smile on his face.

At the same time, Lin Feng and his disciples had arrived in the Ancient Longevity World.
