Chapter 294: First Entering the Thousand Gods Pit

On July 22, after two days of rest, the group of small flags and general flags who were training in the Zhushen Division gathered in the Zhushen Division training ground with high energy and full confidence.

Right in front of the parade ground, Yuchi Pojun glanced at Zhou Tieyi next to him, shook his head and sighed, "There are so many people."

Zhou Tieyi could hear the dissatisfaction in Yuchi Pojun's words.

As a military leader, although Bingzhong was once said to be the foundation of the entire Daxia, it was actually completely controlled by the military strategists.

For a long time, in the eyes of military families like Yuchi Pojun, soldiers' tombs are not only a treasure they own, but also a place to rest after death. Naturally, they are not allowed to be tangled by outsiders.

But this time, because of Zhou Tieyi and the Emperor of Daxia, the military tomb was opened to the God Punishment Department.

If it was really open to those who had made contributions to the God-Slaying Division, Yuchi Pojun could still turn a blind eye. However, when the local clans heard about the soldiers' tomb, they used their connections to insert their own children into the tomb, which naturally made Yuchi Pojun dissatisfied.

Zhou Tieyi smiled and said, "The world is bustling with people because of profit, and the world is bustling with people because of profit. I think there are not many people around me."

Although Zhou Tieyi had a smile on his face, his expression became increasingly cold.

Yuchi Pojun snorted coldly, "I want to see the role of those who can come out! Otherwise, don't blame me for causing trouble for you!"

Zhou Tieyi also smiled silently. He also wanted to see the real role of these people.

In his eyes, the luck gathered by the four thousand people present penetrated all the major clans of Da Xia. Among them were many people with blue and purple external luck, but no matter how strong the external luck was, it was covered with a layer of gray mist at this moment.

After Yuchi Pojun finished speaking, he stood up. His majestic body looked like a lion standing up under the setting sun. He made a fist with his hand and hammered into the void beside him.

The invisible space became visible in Yuchi Pojun's hands. The terrifying force broke through the surface with a point, directly shattering the gap between yin and yang, revealing the gray world inside.

A portal three meters high and seven meters wide appeared, surrounded by space barriers that were broken like a spider web but had not yet completely formed turbulence.

Zhou Tieyi, who was standing next to Yuchi Pojun, fully experienced the whole process. He exclaimed, "The Right General is really still strong despite his old age!"

Absolute power can reach the level of rules. Is this what the end of the military practice path looks like?

Zhou Tieyi sighed silently in his heart.

Although he himself and Old Ya had both led people into the underworld, they were all borrowing the rules, not directly breaking the rules like Yuchi Pojun did.

Moreover, this power is not pure brute force. If it is pure brute force, space turbulence will form around the space barrier broken by Yuchi Pojun, and then the space turbulence will expand disorderly, and continue to devour the surrounding space disorderly until a new space balance is reached.

But Yuchi Pojun's power is not 'instantaneous' but 'continuous'. His power itself is a kind of rule. While breaking the rules, he maintains the stability of space.

Yuchi Pojun snorted coldly, "Back in my house, I remember someone said I was old!"

Zhou Tieyi looked embarrassed, "How can you be old when your memory is so good?"

He looked at the four thousand people present and said in a low voice, "Enter the Netherworld in an orderly manner."

This time, led by Yuchi Pojun, the route to enter the military tomb is different.

Although most of the 4,000 people present were from aristocratic families and knew something about the underworld from their parents, it was their first time entering the underworld. First of all, it was difficult to understand the situation here as the living people were plundered all the time.

They feel like they are in a world of ice and snow. Even if they have prepared in advance, they still need to allow their bodies to adapt to the environment.

Zhou Tieyi was not in a hurry about this. He asked everyone to rest for a cup of tea to adapt to the environment in the underworld.

Then he took out the tiger talisman and shouted to the space in front of him, "Angel Zhou Tieyi, by the order of His Majesty, open the soldiers' tomb."

In the white and gray darkness, a dark and thick yin energy shot towards this place from one end like a rainbow, forming an ancient long bridge.

The long bridge is twelve meters wide, and the ground is in a state of flowing dark clouds. On both sides of the long bridge, dim green ghost lights shine through the dark fog and vaguely illuminate the surrounding environment, just like the ground lamps in Tianjing on a foggy day. One can only feel the outline of the light but cannot see the specific shape.

Yuchi Pojun took the lead and went up the long bridge with Zhou Tieyi. The others followed suit. Those who had the ability to detect could not help but look at the green ghost fires around them. Suddenly, a scream was heard in the team, followed by a series of screams. Zhou Tieyi looked at Yuchi Pojun in confusion. At this time, Yuchi Pojun sneered, "Don't look at what you shouldn't look at. This is a reminder!"

Zhou Tieyi suddenly realized that it was just a show of force. No wonder Yuchi Pojun didn't tell him before.

His eyes fell on the screaming people and found that their faces were slightly pale. Apart from a little mental exhaustion, there seemed to be no other effects. This also made him look curiously at the pale green ghost fires around them.

His real vision easily penetrated the dark fog. On both sides of the long bridge, there were "ground lamps" standing upright. These ground lamps had various shapes and different death situations.

Some were hacked to death by sharp blades, some had their heads smashed by heavy hammers, and even after death, their corpses were still dried by the wind and nailed to this long bridge. Dried flesh and blood, horrible evil spirits lingering around, and those pale green ghost fires were the constantly burning twisted souls!
A terrifying mental shock came towards him, and countless tragic battlefield scenes were superimposed. Because he saw more, Zhou Tieyi was stunned for a few breaths.

Yuchi Pojun saw Zhou Tieyi motionless and chuckled, "How about it, kid? If you annoy me one day, I will hang you on this bridge and let you swing for a few days! In the past, there was a god who relied on his special power and was difficult to kill completely. We hung him on this bridge and kept washing him with the water of the underworld. Guess what happened to him in the end? He couldn't stand it and his golden body collapsed and sank."

Zhou Tieyi came back to his senses and said with a smile, "That's a good idea."

As he spoke, he touched his chin. This long bridge was of great value. Its power was probably comparable to that of a second-grade cultivator, or even close to that of a first-grade cultivator. It could be considered one of Da Xia's foundation.

After crossing this long bridge of corpses, the other end is deep in the soldiers' tombs, in front of the Thousand Gods Pit.

Huang Yuquan knew that there were several secret places in the soldiers' tomb.

The first is Huangquan itself. After being reduced by the Tomb of Soldiers and the fortune of Daxia, a slow-flowing river section was formed, in which Huangquan fish and snakes can be hunted. The flesh and blood of Huangquan fish and snakes are extremely pure and contain the ultimate force of life, which is of great benefit to the practice of warriors.

The second is Bingyuan, where there are countless remaining souls of weapons, the 'Wanjie Ningbingsha' that is most suitable for military strategists to condense their energy and form a tornado, there is the sunken iron in the soldier's tomb buried underground, and there is the complete corpse of the White Emperor in the tornado.

The third is the Blood Lake. This lake formed by the power of Mother Earth and the Lord of the Blood Sea will continuously produce blood beasts. It is just called a secret realm, but it is an absolute dangerous place. Not only are the blood beasts endless in number, but because of the power of the Lord of the Blood Sea, the blood and energy in them cannot be used at all. Even the ghost soldiers cannot absorb it, otherwise they will gradually be transformed into believers of the Lord of the Blood Sea.

Therefore, Daxia circled a section of Yellow Spring to surround the entire blood lake. Any blood beast that wanted to rush out would automatically fall into the Yellow Spring and be washed clean by the Yellow Spring water, putting an end to it once and for all.

Twenty years ago, the Queen of Heaven ordered all monks in the world to donate their bodies and built a cemetery outside the Blood Lake. Although no one knows why it was built here, the cemetery did produce precious treasures such as the Blood Bodhi.

The fourth is the sky. Huang Yuquan knows nothing about it except that the power of Canglong is sealed there. He cannot even go up there because the destiny of the country hangs down from there.

The fifth is the Thousand Gods Pit, which is also the most widely circulated heritage of the Great Xia Military Tomb. Trials are set up in the Thousand Gods Pit, which allow those who pass the trials to obtain real good things such as the flesh and blood of gods, incomplete fragments of the kingdom of gods, etc.

In the past few days since entering in advance, Zhou Tieyi's main exploration target has been concentrated on Bingyuan.

Not long after he entered for the first time that day, the Queen Mother was waiting for him outside, which meant that the Queen Mother and the Emperor were not completely ignorant of the situation here.

Outside the Blood Lake there is a cemetery arranged by the Queen Mother, so it belongs to the Queen Mother's sphere of influence.

The Thousand Gods Pit is the core, and it is also guarded by His Majesty's Yulin Army's Yin Soldiers personally. They are not as easy to talk to as the Huwei Army's Xianzhen Camp.

So in addition to digging up the sunken iron from the soldiers' tombs, Zhou Tieyi has waited until now.

The Thousand Gods Pit is shaped like a mine pit, five hundred feet wide and three hundred feet long, with an unfathomable depth. It has collapsed downwards like a hole, forming a staircase-like layer upon layer, and is pitch black inside.

Outside the Thousand Gods Pit are stone houses built with gray and white stones, scattered in a disorderly manner on the open land. They look like temporary residences built by outsiders in the past.

When everyone got off the bridge, there were already thousands of Yulin Army ghost soldiers waiting there. They were even riding ghost horses made of bones and ghost fire that had a strong aura!
They are indeed the emperor's guards. They are treated differently after death, Zhou Tieyi sighed in his heart. He had heard Huang Yuquan say before that the Yulin Army could get the most sufficient supplies, so their strength could crush and intimidate the ghost soldiers of the rest of the troops, so that there would not be a mutiny in this desolate soldier's tomb due to the shortage of blood and food.

The commander of the Yulin Army received the news early in the morning. He dismounted and clasped his fists to Zhou Tieyi and Yuchi Pojun and said, "Loyal and Brave Marquis Li Xian, I am honored to meet the angel and the right general."

The commander of the ghost soldiers of the Yulin Army was a relative of the royal Li family. When he was alive, successive emperors were naturally wary of their relatives and did not dare to give them too much power. But after his death, successive emperors of the Great Xia Dynasty liked to appoint relatives as commanders of the ghost soldiers.

Zhou Tieyi said, "Loyal and Brave Marquis, there is no need to be so polite. This time, I will need your guidance when I open the military tomb."

After the greeting, the ghost soldiers of the Yulin Army arranged for the people who came in this time to be settled in the stone house first. They can stay in the soldier tomb for a total of seven days. During these seven days, they can take part in the trial of the Thousand Gods Pit or dig for sunken iron in the Soldier Field. The only limitation is that the supplies they carry with them can withstand consumption.
