Peerless Taoist

"Hold on, I'm looking for you because I want to hear how you wish to cooperate with me." The woman finally spoke.    

Her voice was ethereal and pleasant to the ears, and it carried an indescribable majesty, making it difficult for people to say anything to reject her.    

This was a deity.    

Although her inheritance had been overthrown, it still retained the majesty of a god.    

Lu Yu did not answer immediately, but his gaze fell on a corner of the platform. There was a limp corpse there, its head lowered as it fell to the side of the corner.    

Most importantly, this corpse was wearing the uniform of a Jade Cauldron Academy disciple!    

This also meant that there were academy disciples who previously came here as well.    

"What's going on with him?" Lu Yu asked in a deep voice.    

Hou Tu God looked at the corpse next to the high platform with pity and sighed, "I want to save him, but he wants to die. I am already very weak, so I don't have the ability to send his corpse out, so I can only leave him here."    

"It seems like you have not let down your guard" Seeing that Lu Yu didn't respond, Empress Earth God frowned.    

Lu Yu didn't want to give in either. "My fellow disciple's corpse is right next to him. With just one sentence from you, how can I trust you?"    

Empress Earth God let out a long sigh. "It's a mistake for you all to come here. This place is no longer the Divine Land of the past."    

She looked at Lu Yu and let out a long sigh. "I don't know if you have heard of the Sinful Earth?"    

Sinful Earth?    

Lu Yu immediately thought of it.    

Big Black had once told him that Sinful Land was actually a place used to exile criminals in ancient times.    

The Southern Wasteland that Lu Yu was born with was the Land of Sins in the Lower Realms.    

Almost everyone there was unable to break through to the second step of Dao Observation. Even cultivators who had reached the Second Step of Dao Observation would be greatly restricted if they entered, and they would be unable to display their full strength.    

"I've heard of it before"    

Empress Earth God stared at Lu Yu in surprise. "It seems that you have a wide range of knowledge. Since you know about it, I'll make it clear. This place was not a holy land at all, but a land of sinners. The criminals who were exiled were also the fiercest criminals in the ancient era. "    

"The people and Demonic Beast you saw were actually the criminals of the past. They had been reincarnated after generations of reincarnation. At most, they can only cultivate to the Supreme Being Realm, unable to break through their limits. They could only watch themselves die bit by bit, and then open the next cycle. This was the punishment for them. They would live forever. They can only repeat themselves in this narrow territory."    

"And I am the jailer of this territory. My name is Hou Tu, the god that gave birth to all of their lives. However, they do not know my true identity. "    

Although what Hou Tu said to Lu Yu was out of Lu Yu's expectations, it was still within reason.    

"Can you still control this territory?" Lu Yu asked.    

A bitter smile appeared on Empress Earth God's face. "Look at me. It's very difficult for me to go out, let alone control this territory."    

"All of this originated from the flaws during the reincarnation."    

"This Land of Sins has already existed for an unknown period of time, and no accidents have occurred. However, there was no absolute truth. At that time, in the Endless Wasteland, a Dragon Whelp was born in a Dragon Tribe. At that time, I did not expect that this Dragon Whelp was actually a living being who had reincarnated. "    

" In its previous life, it was a dragon at the pinnacle of supremacy, and eventually died due to defiance of the natural order. After reincarnating once more, its strength increased by leaps and bounds, and practically no living being in the entire territory was its match. "
