Chapter 236 We Will Be Reaching The East Of The Netherworld
Outside the Immortal Du Sect, a white cloud carrying a few figures flew towards the east.
The white cloud flew quickly and steadily. The path it chose was beautiful and devoid of any danger. The person controlling the cloud was obviously an old… Golden Immortal.
The Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect personally rode a cloud and rushed to the Netherworld. He kept introducing the matters regarding the Netherworld to the four people behind him.
For example, he told them how to quickly head to the Netherworld, the relationship between the Netherworld and Hell, and what the taboos were.
“The Netherworld controls the Six Paths of Reincarnation. The Netherworld office is the home of all spirits and souls. It is not an ordinary place. However, the Netherworld can be considered a force in the Primordial World. It would naturally give the other forces some face. Most of the time, as long as someone seeks help from them, they would pretend to reject a little before receiving some benefits and favors. Then, they will use the authority bestowed by the Heavenly Dao to slightly adjust the matters of reincarnation… So you don’t have to worry. The Immortal Du Sect is a true faction of Ren School. They will naturally treat us with respect as well.”
Ji Wuyou stood in front of him with his hands behind his back.
Exalted Wang Qing had been cultivating in the sect for a long time, but he did not know that the Sect Leader had such a talkative side.
He could not say anything else. He could only pretend to listen.
Jiang Lin’er had a lot on her mind. She stood beside Exalted Wang Qing and looked worried.
Ji Wuyou slowly explained the origin of the Netherworld and explained the evolution of it.
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Sect Leader, why didn’t you start from the beginning? The Netherworld is clearly an ancient matter.
Then, Ji Wuyou said leisurely, “Speaking of where the Netherworld came from, we have to talk about that sea of blood. We have to start from the moment the sky and earth were split open…”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
It’s fine then.
Li Changshou had the lowest seniority, so he naturally stood at the back of the white cloud.
Li Changshou could not help but turn to look at the person who was standing three feet away from him…
She was Youqin Xuanya.
He understood the logic, but why did Toxic Junior Sister follow them to the Netherworld?
Is she related to one of the Yamas or judges of the underworld? Or is it that she can use her outstanding appearance to reduce the difficulty of this matter?
What happened to the Sect Leader?
Why are there so many confusing actions?
When Youqin Xuanya came over just now, there were still remnants of the Dao runes on her body when she was in seclusion. It was obvious that she had been called out by the Sect Leader at the last minute!
Youqin Xuanya, who seemed to have sensed Li Changshou’s gaze, opened her eyes while her eyelashes fluttered.
She twisted her fair neck gently, and her bright eyes were shifted away. She looked at Li Changshou with confusion, curiosity, tenderness, and clarity in her gaze.
Then, she looked like a frightened deer. She immediately dodged to the side with a shy, nervous, angry, and happy expression…
Uh, there were some symptoms. As she went into seclusion, they had obviously intensified significantly!
Li Changshou chuckled bitterly in his heart.
Could it be that the Sect Leader wants to set me up with this Toxic Junior Sister?
As one of the three parties involved in the matter where the Golden Immortal Tribulation almost arrived one night, Youqin Xuanya knew Li Changshou’s background and had seen the entire process of Li Changshou’s “embarrassment”. Hence, Li Changshou could not completely ignore Youqin Xuanya. To be honest…
Li Changshou used the simulated spiritual senses that he had processed using the Qi-Calming Turtle Breathing Mantra to look at the girl beside him.
Youqin Xuanya’s temperament was outstanding, she had the appearance of a fish in the sky. She had a graceful figure, and her appearance was impeccable. Especially after she became an immortal, her immortal aura surrounded her, and gave her a soft glow.
Although her honesty was troublesome, it was actually a good thing…
However, when it came to matters between men and women, it could not be forced just because she was beautiful!
Although it was inappropriate to compare the appearance and personality of others, he felt that his own junior sister was not any worse than Youqin Xuanya from the neighboring peak.
How could it be easy to matchmake two people?
The deeper Li Changshou walked on the path of being a “matchmaker”, the more he understood and the more he felt that it was extremely complicated…
Ever since the ancient times, lovebirds would be brought together.
Every moment of the spring night was precious and money lost can be recovered.
Li Changshou looked at his Sect Leader’s back and sighed.
Youqin Xuanya’s voice entered his ears.
“Senior Brother Changshou, how have you been?”
“Well, I’ve been alright.” Li Changshou nodded with a smile and replied, “How’s your cultivation?”
“I have made some breakthroughs after stabilizing my realm.”
Youqin Xuanya immediately returned to her usual serious expression when she talked about serious matters. She said in detail via a voice transmission, “Now that I’m comprehending the principles of the True Spirit’s indestructible nature, I should be able to break through to the intermediate stage of the Perfected Immortal realm in another hundred years.”
Li Changshou immediately smiled and nodded. He almost blurted out the words ‘you’re awesome’.
Youqin Xuanya pursed her lips and said, “Have you broken through recently?”
Li Changshou smiled and shook his head slightly.
There was actually a way to achieve a breakthrough, but he had… severed it.
After chatting about their cultivation levels, the two of them no longer had a topic for the conversation to go on.
Li Changshou chose to close his eyes to rest while Youqin Xuanya turned to look at him from time to time. She stood there quietly, taking on the role of being the visual aesthetic of the five of them…
Now, the situation in the four oceans was getting worse.
The immortal clouds quickly shuttled through the East Ocean. After flying for tens of thousands of kilometers, Li Changshou’s immortal senses captured a few chaotic battlefields.
Although the battles in the seawater were not huge, the scenes were very bloody…
The dragon race fought against the Sea Clan, while the members of the Sea Clan fought against each other. The most unlucky ones were the carefree and insentient creatures in the sea.
During that period of time, the mortal fishing villages in the East Ocean and the South Ocean had a rare harvest.
In the past, it would be good if he could catch more than ten fish with one net.
When he tried to catch them now, he would often not be able to pull them away. Occasionally, he would be able to pull out some strange-looking creatures…
Therefore, the incense offerings in the Sea God Temple became more vigorous.
The Immortal Du Sect went to the Netherworld to settle some minor matters. When they moved across the East Ocean, Exalted Wang Qing finally took the initiative to speak.
“Sect Master, I’ve heard recently that the dragon race seems to be in trouble. There are endless troubles. The four seas are not peaceful.”
Ji Wuyou nodded slowly and said, “These have nothing to do with the Immortal Du Sect. Don’t worry.”
Nothing to do?
Li Changshou sighed in his heart. In fact, that connection was even greater than Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu’s sins…
If they did not look up and instead continuously stared at the vast ocean, they would be frozen in the painting.
At that moment, the members of the Immortal Du Sect were going to the Sky Pillar under the east of the East Ocean. They would find the fastest way to head to the Netherworld there.
In a nutshell, the Primordial World’s Three Realms were like a multi-layered meat pie. The five continents were the main bodies. The Ninth Heaven stood above the five continents while the Netherworld Realm was below them.
Where did the Netherworld come from?
The story started from the three axes of Pangu. The clear aura turned into Heaven while the turbid turned into earth.
The turbid water produced the nine sewage springs, and the Sea of Blood surged and rose.
There was an ancestor called Bai Minghe, who held onto the Yuantu sword with his left hand and the Avicinaraka sword in his right.
He had no choice but to follow Nuwa’s example of creating living beings.
The Lady of Earth evolved during reincarnation, and the Netherworld River was slashed by the heavens.
From that moment on, the government of the Netherworld was established and the half-withered Asura wept in the Sea of Blood.
That… was probably what happened.
Sect Leader Ji Wuyou rode a cloud and quickly flew over the East Ocean with Li Changshou and the rest. He saw the incomparably majestic ‘Heavenly Pillar’ and went straight to the bottom of the Heavenly Pillar.
The Netherworld Realm was buried deep in the Primordial World. After the Lady of Earth evolved on the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Netherworld was completely suppressed. Most of the paths to the Netherworld had been sealed.
The fastest route to the Netherworld was also the most well-known one. It was in the deep-sea canyon near the four Heavenly Pillars in the North, South, East, and West.
Other than that, there were also paths to the five continents and the trichiliocosm. However, the Qi Refinement cultivators were not allowed to enter those paths. They were protected by the Heavenly Dao. The five of them flew to the magnificent pillar and looked at the huge vortex that appeared on the surface of the sea from below.
Ji Wuyou coughed twice and wrapped the five of them in an immortal glow. Then, he quickly fell into the vortex below.
He passed through the deep sea rift, passed through the lava lake, and passed by the ferocious places. He sank into a spot that tens of thousands of feet below ground.
It was worth mentioning that they had encountered a few groups of human Qi Refinement cultivators who had returned from the Netherworld. They were probably there to deliver gifts and run errands…
There were no dangers along the way. As long as one was in the Perfected Immortal realm, they could actually pass through those “checkpoints” by themselves and reach a narrow path surrounded by gray fog…
It was the Netherworld Path.
Li Changshou was afraid that he would suddenly gain enlightenment. He did not dare to look or think too much along the way. He simply bore that path in mind.
Youqin Xuanya asked, “Have you been here many times, Senior Brother?”
“No.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “I’ve only cultivated for a few hundred years. I haven’t had time to go to too many places.” “Then…”
Youqin Xuanya stared at Li Changshou with her beautiful eyes. Without saying a word, she asked in a very natural tone, “If there’s a chance in the future, are you willing to walk around with me?”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
What is this?
A sudden confession?
Based on his ten-odd summaries of Youqin Xuanya’s personality, Li Changshou could not help but have an absurd thought and wonder if she was a puppet!
Fortunately, Youqin Xuanya noticed that she seemed to be a little rude when she said that. Her face flushed and she immediately explained in a panic. Her gentle voice echoed in the immortal light.
“Senior Brother Changshou… I don’t mean that. I don’t have any improper thoughts about you, Senior Brother! I just want to travel around with you to broaden my horizons, comprehend, and cultivate!”
Li Changshou smiled bitterly in his heart.
That’s right. She is indeed the Toxic Junior Sister I know.
The three pairs of eyes in front of them looked over. The two men smiled. Jiang Lin’er, who was already a little anxious, could not help but frown.
A powerful rival of Little Ling’e?
She seems to be a much greater threat to Ling’e than Xiao Jiu! Why do disciples of this generation in Little Qiong Peak have such complicated relationships? Jiang Lin’er sighed in her heart. At that moment, she was not in the mood to care about those things. She was worried about Wan Jiangyu…
Ji Wuyou had been to the Netherworld a few times. He was really familiar with it.
On the narrow path, Ji Wuyou pressed his left hand downwards. Wisps of pure and cold mist gathered and formed a gray cloud that supported the five of them.
Then, they continued flying along the narrow path.
In a short while, they flew out of the endless fog. Their vision was filled with a magnificent black mountain.
The shape of the mountain was like a stone monument. There were solid black stones on it, and three complicated, blood-red words were written on it…
Ji Wuyou said calmly, “We have arrived at the east of the Netherworld.”
Li Changshou sighed to himself.
At that moment, he suddenly felt like he had reached the train terminal in his previous life.
Fortunately, the Sect Leader did not say “Please punch your card once you board the carriage.” Otherwise, he might not be able to make a beeping sound.
Just as Li Changshou’s paper effigy arrived in the Netherworld…
In front of the East Gate of the Heavenly Courts, the thousands of Heavenly Soldiers guarding the gate each held their long spears and looked at the cloud path not far away.
There were a few old men who were surrounding a handsome young Daoist. They were talking about something, but the latter’s eyes were filled with determination. He kept moving forward.
“Young Master, you still have to manage the World Edge Pavilion. Why do you want to be a soldier in the Heavenly Courts!?!”
“If old Madam finds out about this, she would be very sad!” “What’s so good about the Heavenly Courts? As long as you cultivate steadily in the future, you will definitely grow a Dao Fruit and inherit the family business!”
“Enough!”
Bian Zhuang shouted softly and looked up at the white jade pillar of the Heavenly Gate, which was engraved with numerous auspicious clouds. There was starlight in his eyes as she said, “I don’t want an unchanging life of cultivation! The Dao that has been arranged for me is not my Dao. My Dao is beneath my feet. I need to step forward! My dream is here in the Heavenly Courts!”
The few elders were instantly stunned by those words. For a moment, they did not know how to persuade him. Bian Zhuang took a step forward and quickly arrived at the Heavenly Courts Gate.
Upon hearing Bian Zhuang’s words, the Heavenly Soldiers were all moved!
This young Daoist is so confident and has such a noble pursuit of immortality! The Heavenly Generals in the Heavenly Courts looked at each other and their eyes lit up.
Could it be that a talent is going to arrive in the Heavenly Courts?
At that moment, an old man could not help but sigh.
“Young Master! What kind of dream is that?!”
Bian Zhuang’s eyes were filled with longing emotions as he said, “That fairy is my dream! I can only find my dream here!”
“Your dream changes once every few years! There are so many ladies in the World Edge Pavilion, Young Master, can’t you make one of them your dream!?!” “Young Master, say something. There are plenty of dreams! There are all kinds of dreams. You will never repeat them!”
Eh…
The Heavenly Soldiers were speechless.
A Heavenly General rolled his eyes and immediately ordered the Heavenly Soldiers in front of the Heavenly Gate.
However, Bian Zhuang did not even turn around to look at the East Heavenly Gate.
He cupped his hands and shouted, “I, Qi Refinement cultivator Bian Zhuang, have specially come to the Heavenly Courts today!”
“Get lost!”
A group of Heavenly Soldiers shouted in unison.
