Chapter 570: Yin Meridian Leads to the Underworld

The underworld, outside the Xiling Mountain.

Many monks and mortals who came to worship from the outside world showed panic on their faces. They were quite far away and did not dare to approach the sacred mountain in front of them!

"What happened? Is there someone fighting in the Xiling Mountain?"

"The earth is really shattering. Even half of the sacred mountain is on the verge of collapse!"

"Fortunately, we weren't close, otherwise we wouldn't be able to bear the aftermath."

"It's the Holy Sacrifice again. The situation is very similar to the situation two years ago. It's dark in the middle of the day. It's probably the Gluttonous Demon Ancestor coming to attack the mountain again."

The Taotie Demon Ancestor was the evil name given to Wu Chong by the Xiling Temple. He was declared to be a cruel and ruthless demon monk who did all kinds of evil.

There was a notorious Demon Daoist in front of him, and he immediately calmed down all the people who came to pay homage to the ceremony.

They were still quite far away from the Xiling Mountain, but they didn't dare to go any further.

Although the heart-stopping spiritual power fluctuations have stopped now, no one can say whether they will break out again.

If the prediction is wrong, the aftermath of the strong man's fight will not be something they can bear!

At this point, many people have begun to think about quitting and are preparing to leave this place and spread the news.

On the other side, in the Xiling Sacred Mountain.

Wu Chong and Li Qing had already entered deeply and immediately found the place of Yin Sacrifice.

"There are Yin veins under the ground in the Nether Realm. It has been rumored since ancient times that these veins are connected to the Nine Netherworld Mansion, which is where all the souls in the world return after they die."

"However, from ancient times to the present, no one has ever explored this matter. Anyone who wants to follow the Yin veins to explore deeply has encountered misfortune, even Nascent Soul Lord is no exception!"

The Xiling Sacred Mountain is a ring-shaped mountain, and below it is surrounded by mountains, which is the place for the Yin Sacrifice.

Every time at the end of the day, when the yang energy between heaven and earth reaches its strongest point, various sects in the underworld will hold yin sacrifices here to make offerings to the unknown existence at the end of the yin veins.

Wu Chong has been in the Nether Realm for some years and knows these things quite clearly.

While he was searching for the Yin stones gathered here, he explained to Li Qing.

"The Xiling Palace forces many surrounding mortal villages to dig Yin stones for it. After these Yin stones are mined from the mountain wall, they will absorb a ray of Yang energy, causing the life span of mortals to be reduced."

"If you dig too much, you will be cursed by the underworld and the world even after death. The excess Yin energy on your body will turn into lingering Yin spirits after death, swallowing up the heaven and earth at night when the Yin energy is strongest. The yin energy continues to condense the yin stone."

"This kind of behavior is really a heinous crime. I can't bear to see it, but I am no match for the master of Xiling Hall, so I can only take advantage of the extremely dark time of the year to obstruct it and make the underworld sacrifice not go smoothly."

At this point, Wu Chong suddenly laughed:

"Hahahaha, but luckily you're here, Li Qing. I didn't expect that after not seeing you for so long, your Taoist and magical powers have improved so much that even the Lord of Xiling Palace is no match for you!"

After hearing this, Li Qing shook his head modestly and said:

"I alone can't do anything to the master of the Xiling Palace. If you hadn't blocked the Yin Spirit Ghost that he summoned with his Yin Ming Eyes, the outcome of this battle would still be unknown."

Wu Chong has known Li Qing for a long time, so he naturally understands his temperament. He did not continue to talk more about this topic. The most important thing right now is to start the Yin sacrifice.

At the foot of the central mountain of this crater, the sun has gradually moved westward and is no longer illuminating the place from high in the sky.

The place where they are now is shrouded in the shadow of the mountains to the west, and they have missed the best time for the Yin Festival. At this time, the Yang Qi between heaven and earth has slightly declined.

In front of the two of them, a stone tablet about two people tall stood on the ground. This tablet was not placed here. It looked like it grew naturally from the earth and was connected to the earth beneath their feet.

The underworld stele was surrounded by piles of Yin stones, and even the unknown inscription on it was obscured.

Li Qing watched all this quietly behind Wu Chong, wanting to see what he would do.

I saw Wu Chong forming a seal with his hands, gathering spiritual power in his palms, and then directly slapping the underworld monument in front of him.

The next moment, the surrounding rocks suddenly trembled.

Buzz!

Every Yin stone is vibrating, as if it resonates with the black Hades monument.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that this trick taught me by that awesome old Taoist a few years ago would be really effective. I exchanged three drops of blood essence for it, but it has come in handy."

Wu Chong grinned and increased the output of his spiritual power.

Soon, the Yin stones piled up all around shattered, and the pure Yin energy inside leaked out, gathering towards the underworld monument.

This is the amount of Yin Stone that mortals in many surrounding villages have mined for a whole year. The Yin Qi contained in it is so strong that even Li Qing, who has strong Qi and blood, feels a biting chill.

The underworld monument in front of us, which is only over a foot high, can absorb such a thick pure Yin energy without any damage. It is really amazing!

"With so many Yin Stones enshrined in the past, what blessings can be obtained?" Li Qing couldn't help but exclaimed.

Wu Chong, who was maintaining the Yin Festival in front of him, was shivering a little due to the sudden coldness.

"Wait a minute and you'll know."

The coldness was biting, and it was quite difficult to speak. After all, he was not as strong as Li Qing's assistant, and his energy and blood were far less strong.

Finally, when a large amount of Yin Qi fell into the stele, the change finally happened.

The mysterious words imprinted on the stele faintly revealed a dark green luster.

Buzz!

Then, these mysterious words with luster, as if starting a certain ritual, suddenly reflected a layer of spiritual light towards the earth.

These spiritual lights imprinted on the earth, faintly resembled formations, and the patterns were extremely mysterious and difficult to understand.

In the center of this layer of mysterious spiritual light patterns, a dark passage suddenly opened.

This passage constantly overflowed with strands of Yin Qi, and the scene inside was not clear at all, and it was difficult to know where it led to!

"Let's go! This is the entrance to the Yin Vein of Xiling Mountain. It will only be opened during the polar day, and the fortune obtained by offering a large number of Yin stones is in it."

"We don't have much time. If we don't come out after the polar day, this opening connecting to the Yin Vein will close automatically, and we will be stuck inside forever!"

As he said this, Wu Chong took the lead and rushed towards the dark and unknown entrance.

Seeing this, Li Qing immediately followed closely.

As soon as he approached the entrance of the Yin Vein, Li Qing felt a more bone-chilling cold invasion, as if this road really led to the Nine Netherworld.

This feeling was so creepy that even he felt creepy!

"Fatty Wu, are you sure the fortune of the Yin Sacrifice is in it? Why do I feel a little unreliable?"

Li Qing's face was covered with a layer of frost!

If the Yin Vein is really connected to the legendary Nine Netherworld, then aren't they just actively breaking in on this trip?

This behavior is really too inappropriate.

However, Wu Chong in front of him took the lead and rushed into the entrance of the Yin Meridian without looking back.

Looking at the dark and empty entrance in front of him, Li Qing gritted his teeth and then rushed in.

Buzz!

In an instant, Li Qing felt as if his whole body was immersed in a pool of ice water.

The darkness and coldness wrapped his whole body, and even his soul had a gloomy feeling.

Then, the cold seemed to deprive him of his five senses, and he could not see, speak, or hear!

At this moment, Li Qing, who was in the endless darkness, felt as if he had no body, and only his soul was exposed to the outside world.

Everything in the world returned to nothingness, only his thoughts existed.

In this world composed of endless Yin Qi, Li Qing was at a loss. Where should he go?

But not long after, a clear golden stream appeared in the endless Yin Qi!

This golden stream was filled with pure Yang Qi, like a guiding light.

As soon as he came into contact with this stream, Li Qing instantly woke up from his endless confusion.

"These are"

Soon, Li Qing thought of the mortals who mined the Yin Stone!

That's right, after the Yin Stone was mined from the stone wall, it would automatically deprive the mortals of a ray of Yang Qi.

And these Yang Qi, which is convenient for the Yin Qi to build the channel, gathered into this golden stream.

Although small, it is eye-catching and dazzling!

Li Qing, who has recovered his five senses, heard Wu Chong's voice in his ears at this moment.

"The Yin Meridian leads to the underworld, and will reject these external Yang Qi and return them to the outside world."

"At this time, the outside world is in the daytime, when the Yang Qi is the most vigorous. These Yang Qi will be connected to the outside world, and this is also the path for us to return to the Yang world."

"Without these Yang Qi, we will be completely lost in the Yin Meridian!"

Listening to Wu Chong's explanation, Li Qing's eyes shot out a brilliant light, and he lost his voice and said:

"It's so. Is there really a so-called Nine Netherworlds in the world? The destination of all spirits after death is down there?"

This is really too shocking!

Li Qing simply couldn't believe these things. Even though he has entered the world of immortal cultivation, he still holds a negative attitude towards the world after death.

He has always believed that the six reincarnations and reincarnations are just folk myths, and he never takes them seriously.

Because he thinks that death is death, and the way of death is gone like a lamp. It is really a bit illusory to pin hopes on the afterlife.

Wu Chong laughed awkwardly and said, "How would I know? It's just what people say outside."

"But there's no need to worry about it now. Do you see the scene ahead?"

As he spoke, Wu Chong pointed forward.

Li Qing looked in the direction he pointed. With the help of the light emitted by the golden stream, he was finally able to see clearly what the so-called Yin Vein was!

It was a vast black ocean, vast and broad!

These oceans were actually made up of Yin Qi!

Boom!

The waves hit the shore, making loud noises that were deafening.

The so-called Hades was actually just an ocean made of Yin Qi?

"Follow me!" Wu Chong immediately walked towards the shore of the black ocean, and Li Qing followed closely behind.

At this moment, Li Qing's thoughts were still a little dazed, and he was shocked by the scene he saw for the first time.

In addition, he was still thinking about whether the so-called Hades existed or not!

Reincarnation

If there is no such thing as reincarnation, then how can his situation be explained?

He has not forgotten where he came from!

For a moment, Li Qing's steps became heavy, and he felt as if he dared not face this place directly.

"Quick, don't just stand there. This place is called the other shore by the cultivators in the Netherworld. Every entrance to the Yin Meridian can lead to the other shore!"

"There are lotus platforms on this shore. Just find a platform and sit cross-legged, and you will get the opportunity and fortune!"

"At the beginning, I got the guidance of an old Taoist priest, and broke into the Yin sacrifices of Tianshou Temple and Xiling Temple one after another. With the help of Taotie magic, I successfully won a part of the fortune."

"You should know that I have never been able to go up to this lotus platform. Don't waste time."

As he said, Wu Chong rushed out of this long Yin Meridian passage and sat cross-legged on a stone lotus platform.

On the other shore, there is a lotus platform every few feet, and there are dozens of them.

These stone platforms are very strange. They are not naturally generated, but artificially cast!

Li Qing, who was a little dazed, finally came to a lotus platform. He hesitated for a while, and finally sat on it decisively.

Buzz!

After sitting down, a sky curtain seemed to fall from the endless ocean, and the surrounding scene became blurred.

In front of Li Qing, on both sides and opposite of this sky curtain, there were several blurred figures sitting cross-legged like him.

As if noticing Li Qing's arrival, the blurred figures on one side of the sky curtain moved slightly, but soon quieted down.

"Oh? Isn't that the location of Xiling Temple? The Yin Festival started so late this time. Could it be that there was an accident?"

"No, why are there two figures?"

"Two years ago, another Jindan Zhenren in Xiling Temple was killed by Taotie Zhenren. Could it be that someone in the temple has succeeded in Jindan again?"

"I don't know, let's find out after the Yin Festival is over. At present, refining the dark marrow is more important!"

"."

On the other side of the sky curtain, the voice soon quieted down.

And Li Qing felt something moving under him since he sat cross-legged.

Those were dark black squirming objects of varying sizes, crawling toward him along the lotus platform as if being pulled by something.

"These are the dark marrows, pulled by the yang energy of living people. Next, refine them with your own true essence, and you will know what the opportunity and fortune of this Yin Sacrifice is!"

After Wu Chong's voice fell, it was completely silent. It seemed that he had begun to try his best to refine these dark marrows.

Li Qing nodded gently, and then hooked a squirming dark marrow with his fingertips, and then urged his own true essence to try to refine it.

The pure true essence was transferred out, and the dark dark marrow seemed to evaporate as soon as it touched it, turning into invisible gas and pouring into Li Qing's mouth and nose.

"Hiss!"

As soon as the invisible gas evaporated from the dark marrow was taken into his body, Li Qing couldn't help but let out a groan from the depths of his soul.

He felt that his soul seemed to be undergoing a baptism.

The breath of the dark marrow evolved in his body, and the yin and yang were in harmony. The true essence in his body was actually a bit thicker!

You have to know that his cultivation has been stagnant for a long time, and it is difficult to make any progress in the middle stage of Jindan.

And here, just by refining a dark marrow, his cultivation has been raised by one point.

Although it is small, it is a real improvement!

At this moment, Li Qing finally understood what the so-called opportunity and fortune are.
