The cheat system is useless, but I have the strongest living dad.

Could it be that Shen Yao and her father both came from the legendary outer heaven?

Hu Yawu was shocked. He felt that he had finally understood. No wonder, no wonder Old Man Huo, a Celestial Venerable, could lead them to slaughter four cities in a row. The strength of the Outer Heaven was terrifying!

Huo Die retorted to Shen Yao, "Why isn't there a hell? My dear, hell isn't in a specific world; hells are interconnected."

Shen Yao: "Dad, this is beyond my understanding. Could you explain it to me in detail?"

Huo Die reached out and tapped Shen Yao on the head, while Feng Yu rubbed her head through the wind spirit shield.

Huo Die glanced at Feng Yu sideways: "Would I possibly hurt her by hitting her?"

Feng Yu silently withdrew her hand.

Huo Die: "Of the Ten Heavenly Realms, there is only one Hell. All the dead souls of the worlds within the Ten Heavenly Realms are under the jurisdiction of the Ten Yama Palaces."

"After a living being dies, its soul will be taken away by the Heavenly Palace and sent to the Ten Yama Palaces for judgment."

"God is the same."

Hu Yawu looked surprised: "Old Man Huo, can gods die too?"

"God will die," Horde replied matter-of-factly.

Hu Yawu: "Aren't gods supposed to live as long as heaven and earth?"

Huo Die: "The level of cultivation and the amount of merit determine the length of a god's life. Besides, heaven and earth also have a lifespan."

At this point, Huo Die looked at Shen Yao and sighed, "Alas... how many gods have fallen in these Ten Realms?"

Before the three simpletons could ask any questions, Huo Die continued to guide everyone to look at the formation: "Look at the low tables around you, and the funerary objects on the low tables, they are all arranged in a six-pointed star shape."

Everyone looked at the low tables around them. There were six low tables in total, and they were indeed arranged around the four coffins, forming a large six-pointed star-shaped array.

The utensils on the low table were also arranged in a six-pointed star pattern.

Feng Yu looked up at the ceiling and said, "The drawing on the ceiling is the six-pointed star array that Dad drew."

Shen Yao and Hu Yawu looked up and saw that the drawing on the ceiling was indeed a six-pointed star array, with blue paint as the base and jade-colored pearls arranged as lines. Each of the six points of the array had a black lacquered bronze mirror suspended above it.

All six bronze mirrors reflected the four coffins, and each mirror contained a reflection of one of the coffins.

Huo Die: "The six suspended mirrors are called the Hexagram Soul-Locking Mirrors. Once the four spirits in the coffin are summoned back, they will be trapped in the second chamber and unable to go anywhere else."

Shen Yao: "You went to all that trouble to bring them back just to lock them up here? Why?"

Why? Under what circumstances would the dead be recalled, and then trapped again?

Feng Yu figured it out: "Perhaps they're afraid the Blood Demon from the Fifth Chamber will escape?"

Huo Die nodded in agreement: "Tell me your guess."

Feng Yu: "Father, these four coffins are made of ancient Chinese privet trees, and the six pillars inside are also made of ancient Chinese privet trees."

'Hu Mu tree…' Shen Yao hadn't heard this word in a long time. She thought of her master, buried under the Hu Mu tree deep in the Minshan Mountains, and her senior sister Bai Luo.

Feng Yu shared his guess: "The peony tree guards the tomb and the corpses. The remains in these four coffins must have been highly respected cultivators in life."

"Yunhe guessed that once the Blood Demon in the fifth chamber escapes, it will trigger the six-pointed star array, which will summon back the souls of the four predecessors to prevent the Blood Demon from escaping."

"The reason for recalling them and locking their souls is that we are afraid that the souls of the four predecessors will not be able to stop the Blood Demon and will be devoured by it instead."

"If the Blood Demon devours their souls, it will be locked by the Soul Locking Mirror, and the Blood Demon will still not be able to escape from the second room."

"Excellent, excellent." Huo Die's face was full of admiration: "Your analysis is completely reasonable."

"Father will teach you another trick. The large and small hexagram arrays here, when combined, form a hexagram star field. Even if the Blood Demon doesn't devour the souls of the dead, it won't be able to leave the star field."

Feng Yu was filled with admiration: "One link leads to another, this formation master is too amazing!"

Shen Yao raised a question: "But the six-pointed star formation doesn't belong to this world. Your world doesn't even have stars, so how could there be cultivators who understand this formation?"

"Could it be..." The cultivators all realized at once: "This array master comes from the Outer Heavens."

Shen Yao: "Father, did cultivators from other realms come here tens of thousands of years ago? Did they bring the bloodworms with them?"

Huo Die shook his head: "Even my father doesn't know this."

Shen Yao frowned: "Aren't you omniscient?"

Huo Die looked at him as if to say, "Who said Dad knows everything? Dad isn't omnipotent either."

Oh, so even Dad isn't omnipotent after all.

After observing the formation in the second room for a while, Feng Yu firmly memorized the characteristics of the formation, as well as the items and materials used, into his soul core.

There was nothing worth lingering in the second room, and no one dared to touch any of the items, so everyone decided to explore the third room.

The cultivators had previously seen it in the illusion of the talisman; there were many chains in the three rooms, but they did not yet know what they were locking.

Huo Die stood at the entrance of the passage from the second to the third room and released his divine sense to explore the third room.

As soon as Huo Die's divine sense entered the passage, countless short arrows shot out from the walls on both sides of the passage, forcing Huo Die's divine sense back.

Huo Die's expression turned serious. These short arrows actually possessed divine power; they were no ordinary short arrows.

He threw a light shield inside, and short arrows struck the shield, producing a metallic clanging sound. Soon, the light shield could not withstand the dense attack and turned into specks of light, disappearing.

The short arrows shot for half an hour, blocking the entire passage. After another half hour, the short arrows in the passage turned into wisps of white smoke and returned to the walls on both sides.

Feng Yu took out a magical artifact and controlled it to fly into the passage.

As soon as Lingbao flew into the passage, countless short arrows shot out from both sides of the passage, and in a short while Lingbao was shattered into pieces.

How do we get across?

I don't know if there's a switch to control the short arrows.

After shooting short arrows for half an hour, the passage was once again blocked with arrowheads.

Feng Yu took out a storage ring, flew it to the short arrow, and tried to put the short arrow into the storage space.

The storage ring was gradually put away, and the number of short arrows blocking the passage decreased.

However, before they could even rejoice, wisps of white smoke drifted out of the storage ring and disappeared into the walls on both sides of the passage.

Before the storage ring could retreat, many short arrows were quickly shot out from the walls on both sides of the passage, turning the storage ring into fragments.

Suddenly, the room was filled with bright light.

The cultivators turned around and saw that the large and small six-pointed star arrays in the second room were emitting a dazzling light. The light between the array points was gradually connecting, and they had all been activated!

Huo Die's expression grew increasingly grave: "This is bad! The Hexagram Starfield has been activated; we must leave as soon as possible!"

But we couldn't get past the front.

They could only retreat back to the entrance of the second room.

In the passageway leading to the second room, the murals had been completely burned, and the bloodworms in the walls had all been vaporized by the divine fire. The passageway was a mess and in complete disarray.

The six-pointed star field in the second chamber has been fully activated. The six-pointed star array on the ground of the coffin exploded, and the inverted stone bowls at the array points floated into the air, burning fiercely.

The incantations on the four interlocking coffins gradually emitted light, forming a six-pointed star array to summon the souls of the dead back...
