"The Saint Heir and Saintess of the Bone Elder Association, upon learning the news, joined with the four Divine Offices and used the Tao Flame to destroy that door and seal the entrance to the entire Earth Abyss."

As Li Chengfeng spoke, Yun Ziliang listened with a furrowed brow and asked, "How was it sealed, just by that broken well cover Xuanzi mentioned?"

"Don’t say that, Mr. Yun, the sealing of the Earth Abyss also owes some credit to your Dragon Seeking Taoists."

Li Chengfeng continued, "Five hundred death row inmates were pressed underground to form a Great Array, and the Bone Elder Association also selected eight Bone Elders with the power of seven Incenses or more, turned them into human stakes, and formed the central formation. This is the Bone Elder Association’s blood and flesh array,

coordinated with the Dragon Seeking Heavenly Master’s Heavenly Light Suppressing Evil, which sealed off the Earth Abyss. That well cover is actually the least significant part."

Everyone looked at Yun Ziliang.

Yun Ziliang was immediately infuriated, pointing at his own nose bone, and said, "Why are you looking at me? I wasn’t the one who sealed it. It was in the twelfth year of Jing Country, and I was hiding in a painting then."

The painter said at this moment, "I wasn’t part of the Bone Elder Association at that time, but later, after I became part of the Divine Office, I communicated with the previous generation’s Divine Office and talked about the past events of the Earth Abyss.

In those events, there is a not very secretive secret that the person presiding over the sealing of the Earth Abyss was the Dragon Seeking Hall Master of the time; he was considered the Nine Incense of the human world back then."

The painter pointed to the Heavenly Dome and said, "This Hall Master successfully ascended to the Heavenly Dome nine years after the Earth Abyss was sealed, slaying the old Dragon Seeking God and becoming today’s Dragon Seeking Tangkou, the Heavenly Dome Level deity, ’Mountain Ancestor.’"

"Ah?! "

Yun Ziliang and Zhao Wuya both looked shocked.

They had just heard Zhou Xuan mention in the Blood Well Divination that the ’Mountain Ancestor’ was in the Earth Abyss.

Yet the one who sealed the Earth Abyss years ago was the ’Mountain Ancestor’ before his ascension. How could it be such a coincidence?

The painter and Li Chengfeng were unaware of why the others were so astonished, and when they found out the truth... they were even more shocked.

"What, the Mountain Ancestor isn’t in the heavens but under the Earth Abyss?"

Zhou Xuan said, "Old Hua, take me to the Earth Abyss to take a look."

"Going to take a look is possible, but Great Sir, under the Earth Abyss, you cannot venture a step."

The painter said, "Do not hear, do not see, do not listen; beneath those ten thousand meters underground, there are likely incredible things."

"Let’s go have a look first,"

Persisting, Zhou Xuan couldn’t be stopped by the painter and Li Chengfeng, who thus had to lead the way. Zhou Xuan casually brought "Big Child and Three Child" along.

This ginseng doll could not escape and was invaluable in bearing curses for Yuan Buyu; naturally, Zhou Xuan had to escort it personally.

...

The Earth Abyss was beneath the teaching building of Hui Feng Medical College.

This building was not burned down during the Xianhuo disaster and remained intact.

The group walked into the basement. At an iron door in the basement, they saw a yellow paper sealed at the entrance, inscribed with: Sealed in the twelfth year of Jing Country, whoever breaks this seal shall suffer the Yan Fire punishment.

The painter tore the yellow paper on the spot and simultaneously used a secret letter to summon the Music Master and Gu Ling.

After the Suffering Scholar’s death, Li Chengfeng succeeded the position of Divine Office. Now, the four Divine Offices of the Bone Elder Association had gathered completely.

"Great Sir wishes to take a look at the Earth Abyss."

The painter explained to the others, stretched out his hand, and a key appeared.

Gu Ling, the Music Master, and Li Chengfeng also took out a key simultaneously. These four keys actually formed one key when combined, turning into a copper flower.

Unlocking and pushing the door,

everyone entered one by one into a massive stone room.

The stone room had high walls on all sides but was not completely sealed, more like a well built very high, without a roof.

On the four walls, thousands of hexagonal prisms hung in a certain pattern. The wind blew down from the high "well" opening, causing the prisms to gently sway, and the little bells hanging from the mirror’s handle emitted a crisp ringing sound.

The bell sound was not unpleasant, even somewhat melodious, inexplicably improving Zhou Xuan’s mood.

Yun Ziliang looked around at the setup within the stone room and said, "As expected, it’s the handiwork of Dragon Seeking, introducing heavenly light with hexagonal arrays, this is the Heavenly Light Suppressing Evil Array of Dragon Seeking."

Zhao Wuya looked and asked, "Grand Master, isn’t this the Blocking Evil Array the Dragon Seeking Heavenly Master uses to alter Feng Shui for the wealthy and powerful? It’s just a magnified version, changing the four mirrors to thousands of them."

"Oh my, Ya Zi, the Blocking Evil Array is a microversion of the Heavenly Light Array." Yun Ziliang stomped his feet with frustration.

As a renowned Dragon Seeking Heavenly Master for years, bringing his disciple to gain experience, why would the disciple be so clueless, isn’t it aggravating?

"Then why don’t we set up a few thousand mirrors when we change Feng Shui for the wealthy and powerful? Four is too stingy," Zhao Wuya said straightforwardly.

Straightforward enough to almost make Yun Ziliang faint: "Ya Zi, you might be no threat to me in the Feng Shui world, but you can ruin my reputation in the educational field!"

He grabbed Zhao Wuya’s ear and exclaimed, "Using heavenly light with a few mirrors suffices to block minor evils. Which wealthy family’s home would attract the world’s most terrifying evil qi and break the heavenly rules, requiring thousands of mirrors?"

"I understand, I understand, Grand Master," Zhao Wuya gritted his teeth in pain.

Yun Ziliang turned to everyone and said, "My apologies, truly a rebellious disciple at home caused this lapse."

Yet no one laughed at Yun Ziliang—anyone who roams the rivers and lakes would have a few disciples. The disciples they train might not even be as bright as Zhao Wuya.

"Lao Yun, it’s nighttime now, and the light introduced by the hexagonal mirrors is moonlight. Yet I sense this moonlight is hotter than sunlight, is there a reason for this?"
