Nine Revolutions Star Transformation-Chapter 697 - 717: The Elder’s Terms

Ouyang Hong glanced at the elder before him, surprised that he could see through his identity at a glance and knew such secretive things. Just as he was about to inquire, the elder said:

"Being able to enter the Netherworld shows that you are not simple, but with your strength, you should not be able to break through the Netherworld's entrance. There must be a very powerful person among you, right? Am I correct?"

"Senior, you truly are a divine being. Indeed, four of us came together this time, and the most powerful one has already gone to the Ghost Race. I wonder how the senior came to know about this?" Ouyang Hong asked.

"I naturally know about the Netherworld entrance. It was accomplished by dozens of human experts sacrificing their lives, including my senior brother. At that time, I had business in the Netherworld; otherwise, I might have participated in the feat of sealing the Netherworld entrance." The old man said with a full face of desolation.

"Senior, I know nothing about the Divine Battlefield. The one who truly understands is the person who brought us here. His identity is very special; perhaps you know him," Ouyang Hong said, hoping to learn more from the elder about the mysteries surrounding Chu Linfeng.

"Oh, let's hear it. There are actually people I know? That seems unlikely, as it was something from ten thousand years ago. If he were still alive, he should have already broken through to the Venerable Martial Realm. Why would he come to the Netherworld?" the elder said, half-doubting.

"The Sect Leader of the Green Frost Sect, do you know of him, senior? I came following him. He currently has another identity as the Holy Beast Divine Dragon." Ouyang Hong said.

"Green Frost Sect Leader? You mean Qingshuang? How is that possible? Qingshuang fell together with a clone of the Netherworld Lord and the Demon Lord on the Divine Battlefield back then. Young man, you're not trying to deceive this old man, are you, talking about a Divine Dragon identity? I find it hard to believe." The elder said in astonishment, staring directly at Ouyang Hong as if he could see through his soul to determine if he was lying.

"I know it may be hard for you to believe, senior, but this is the truth. He is a reincarnated person, though he has not yet broken through to the Saint Martial Realm, his strength is formidable; he can easily slay even those at the Seventh Layer of the Saint Martial Realm, truly enviable." Ouyang Hong said earnestly.

Facing this elder, he dared not lie nor wished to, hoping this was an opportunity. The elder had been living in the Netherworld for nearly ten thousand years and surely wanted to visit the Canglan Ancient Land, yet couldn't break the entrance of the Netherworld, relying on the four of them. Perhaps there could be great surprises.

"Why hasn't he broken through to the Saint Martial Realm? Is he pretending deliberately? A Divine Martial Realm powerhouse, no matter how formidable, can only at most withstand a Third Layer Saint Martial Realm expert, and that requires strong defense power. You say he can slay Seventh Layer Saint Martial Realm experts, this is hard to believe. Do not deceive this old man, or you will suffer the consequences." The elder said sternly.

"Senior, with your formidable strength, I, Ouyang Hong, wouldn't dare to deceive you even if I had the courage of the heavens. Everything I said is true. The main reason for coming to the Netherworld this time is to acquire the Netherworld Purple Orchid. I believe you understand its significance. If he obtains the Netherworld Purple Orchid, I can only imagine how powerful he might become." Ouyang Hong said seriously, his expression very cautious.

The elder remained silent, contemplating Ouyang Hong's words. Such a heaven-defying person perhaps only the extraordinary Qingshuang could achieve. Unexpectedly meeting him in the Netherworld after ten thousand years was rare, and they had a decent relationship back then, so it seems a chance to help him is needed.

"You said he went to the Ghost Race, where did the other two go? The Ghost Race is known as the most dangerous among the Five Great Races of the Netherworld. If he doesn't know how to conceal his aura, there might be danger."

"Ruoxi went to the Ghost Race, and Young Master Feiyu went to the Human Race. I came to the Beast Race and was fortunate to meet you, senior!" Ouyang Hong smiled.

"Meeting me indeed is your fortune. The Beast King City isn't as simple as you think. Experts are numerous, and all act low-key, a slight carelessness can invite trouble. Even an old man like me doesn't dare to flaunt excessively in the city. In the Beast King City, at least three are stronger than this old man." The elder said.

Ouyang Hong looked at the other party in shock, curious about who could be even more powerful, he couldn't help but ask: "Senior, what realm are you in now? Are those stronger than you already of Venerable Martial Realm strength?"

"I am only at the First Layer of Venerable Martial Realm now, and I haven't advanced in this realm for two thousand years. The Beast King of Beast King City has now reached the Third Layer of Venerable Martial Realm. With a mere gesture, he can slay me; such powerful strength is beyond your imagination." The elder said.

Ouyang Hong was somewhat unsettled at this moment. The Venerable Martial Realm was a level he had only recently heard of, and he didn't expect such powerful individuals had reached the Third Layer of Venerable Martial Realm. Breaking through even one layer was extremely difficult; he was well aware, having experienced the breakthrough of the Saint Martial Realm. The difficulty of the Venerable Martial Realm was unimaginable.

"Senior, why did you call me here this time? I ask for your clear instruction. If I can manage it, I will certainly not refuse!" Ouyang Hong went straight to the point, knowing the other party wouldn't bring him here without reason.

"You are of the Human Race but carry the bloodline of the Holy Beast White Tiger, which is extremely rare. I brought you here for two reasons, one being that the Netherworld is incredibly dangerous; I don't want a talent like you to perish. The other is hoping you can bring Qin'er back to Canglan Ancient Land.

Rest assured, I will try my best to enhance your strength. In the Netherworld, there are hardly any Star Stones available; over the years, absorbing energy from Nether Stones has been very slow in improving power levels. With a large number of Star Stones, I might also break through to the Third Layer of Venerable Martial Realm." The elder said.

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Hong was suddenly elated. Receiving the cultivation from a Venerable Martial Realm powerhouse was more crucial than anything. "Thank you, senior. I, Ouyang Hong, will not let you down."

"Hmm, let's go inside! Qin'er might have already prepared the meal. Qin'er is my only family in the Netherworld. His parents went missing when they went to the Ghost Race back then, which is the greatest pain in my heart. You may practice alongside Qin'er; she is now at the peak of the Eighth-Layer of the Saint Martial Realm. Do not provoke her, as her temper is rather peculiar." Said the elder.

Then the two got up and returned inside. Entering the house, Ouyang Hong discovered that this simple straw hut was different from the inside. The furnishings were very exquisite and elegant, bringing a feeling of tranquility. At this moment, a few delicious-looking dishes were already placed on the table, but Qin'er was staring intently at Ouyang Hong...
