Chapter 1586 Fengzhen, One of the Gates of Hell
The new deal the two reached was that Wan Baiyun would help Yang Che get the 'Huangquan Yinhuang Jade', and Yang Che would help Wan Baiyun get back the soul of his sword spirit 'Red Ling'.
Wan Baiyun was originally the "Golden Immortal-level Underworld Envoy" of the Mingxuan Division. Due to his practice of martial arts, the calamity of the five declines of heaven and man came relatively late. When he was about to advance to the "Golden Immortal" level, the first decline of the "immortal" 'Just came.
However, by chance, Wan Baiyun was lucky enough to advance to the 'Golden Fairyland' before Xian Shui could really show his terrifying power. Who would have expected that not long after entering the Golden Fairy Realm, 'Xian Shui' would burst out with terrifying power. In the end, Wan Baiyun's realm fell, and at the same time, the second calamity of 'body decline' came in a more violent manner than ordinary immortals.
Immortal decline is just the inexplicable loss of the immortal spiritual energy in the body of the immortal in the true immortal stage, causing the realm to plummet. However, with physical decline, the immortal's body continues to rot inexplicably, and the body also becomes weaker. If you don't find a way to stop it in time, the weak will After the body is not strong enough to support the powerful immortal spiritual energy, it will explode and die.
Wan Baiyun had just survived the decline of immortality. The second decline of the five degenerations of gods and humans, "body decline", erupted in horror. His body continued to rot, and his body also weakened. Slowly, his body became almost fleshless, and he had to use a black and gray robe to protect him. After wrapping it up, even the black and gray robe he was wearing was affected and became tattered.
The woman 'Chi Ling' who was also in the Ming Xuan Division was originally Wan Baiyun's favorite person for a long time, but Chi Ling was also attracted by a powerful golden immortal-level underworld envoy 'He Zhiming' from the Ming Xuan Division, and she used it disgracefully. He wanted to forcefully marry 'Chi Ling' as his second Taoist lover.
He Zhiming originally had a Taoist priest named "Huo Xiuxiu". After Huo Xiuxiu found out, he secretly poisoned Chi Ling and stripped Chi Ling's soul, hoping to use this soul to save Chi Ling from now on. Completely control 'Chi Ling' so that Chi Ling cannot threaten her position.
After Chi Ling woke up, Wan Baiyun learned about this from her.
So Wan Baiyun secretly wanted to get back Chi Ling's soul from Huo Xiuxiu. Although he defeated Huo Xiuxiu privately, he failed to get back Chi Ling's soul in the end. Instead, he was chased by the middle-level golden immortal. He Zhiming was seriously injured and captured, exposing his identity.
Later, Wan Baiyun was imprisoned in the "Underworld Prison" specially set up by the Department of Underworld Selection, and almost died. After Chi Ling learned about it, he suddenly rushed into the Underworld Prison.
When rescuing Wan Baiyun, Chi Ling, who lost his whole soul, was eventually beaten out of his body, and even his residual soul was almost lost. In the end, Wan Baiyun said that as long as the Mingxuan Division spared Chi Ling's residual soul, He was willing to accept any punishment from the Underworld Division without any resistance.
In the end, Chi Ling's remnant soul was taken into his underworld immortal weapon 'Purple Blood Sword' by Wan Baiyun, and became the Purple Blood Sword weapon spirit and managed to survive.
For the sake of Chi Ling's soul, Wan Baiyun was willing to be manipulated by the Underworld Selector from now on. While accepting punishment and guarding one of the 'grey gates', he met Yang Che...
"Fellow Daoist Yang, the Huangquan River is an important place in the underworld and is heavily guarded. It doesn't look like much from a distance, but it is more difficult to enter. When I was an underworld envoy, I once guarded the Huangquan River and I know when the guard is at its weakest. , as long as we find a good opportunity secretly and use your concealment ability, it should not be difficult for us to break through the guards, but it will be more difficult to enter the bottom of the Huangquan River. With our strength, we can only use the bottom of the 'Reincarnation Bridge' on the Huangquan River. , there is only a glimmer of hope to enter the bottom of the Huangquan River."
"Reincarnation Bridge?"
Yang Che's heart moved slightly. He had heard of the 'Reincarnation Bridge'. Just like the Gate of Hell, there are eighteen reincarnation bridges! The fairy world includes the corresponding lower world. When a monk or a living being dies, under normal circumstances, the soul will be sucked into the underworld, step on the 'Reincarnation Bridge', and be reincarnated under the law of the great road of reincarnation.
However, if the soul is destroyed or the soul is missing, it is impossible to enter reincarnation. The destruction of the soul means complete death, and even if the soul is missing, it can only step on the bridge of reincarnation, but in the end it can only become a shadow soldier of the underworld.
At this time Wan Baiyun continued:
"Yes, after we set foot on the 'Reincarnation Bridge', we created chaos halfway and drove a large number of ghosts down the Huangquan River. Taking this opportunity, we also jumped into the Huangquan River and broke through the restrictions at the bottom of the river as quickly as possible and entered the real 'Underworld'. '."
After a slight pause, Wan Baiyun said again:
"There is a real 'Huangquan' at the bottom of the Huangquan River, and there is the 'Huangquan Yinhuang Jade'. If you want to resurrect an old Mahayana ghost cultivator, I am afraid you will need at least three pieces of Huangquan Yinhuang Jade. And Huangquan Yinhuang Jade is enough." It is a very valuable material from the Underworld Selection Department, and we will send out envoys to collect it every once in a while, so we may not be able to collect three pieces of Yinhuang Jade from Huangquan. You must be mentally prepared for this once all the Yinhuang Jade from Huangquan is collected. Let’s go, it will take at least a thousand years to re-condensate. If this happens, we must secretly contact some underworld envoys for exchange.”
Yang Che nodded, he had been mentally prepared for this.
Next, the two of them hurried on their way. Even with Wan Baiyun, the former underworld envoy, to lead the way, it took them more than two months to reach Fengqi Town, where one of the entrances to the Huangquan River was located.
The underworld is very large and a special place. It is not on a certain star, and there are no stars in the sky of the underworld.
Fengqi Town is one of the eighteen important towns under the largest city in the underworld, Fengcheng. It has one of the eighteen ghost gates leading to the Huangquan River.
In other words, there are a total of eighteen entrances to the Huangquan River, which shows how wide the Huangquan River is.
The Guimen Pass was not fortified. As soon as Yang Che and Wan Baiyun arrived here, they saw a large number of ghosts lining up to enter the Guimen Pass.
Some ghosts were unwilling to enter, but were forcibly driven in by ghost cultivators wearing special costumes.
After observing for a while, Yang Che heard Wan Baiyun say:
"Fellow Daoist Yang, those who maintain order are the "necrophiles" of the Underworld Selection Department. The necrophiles only take care of the ghosts sucked into the underworld and lead them to the "Reincarnation Bridge". They will not pay attention to the cultivators who enter the Ghost Gate. After entering the Ghost Gate, it is the "Fengqi Town". There are many ghost cultivators gathered in the town. We need to quietly follow these ghosts and step onto the Reincarnation Bridge."
Yang Che thought for a moment and asked:
"Fellow Daoist Wan, there are so many ghost cultivators in Fengqi Town. , is it really impossible to find a cultivator who can trade the Yellow Spring Yinhuang Jade? "
"Yellow Spring Yinhuang Jade is a very precious material in the underworld. Except for a few underworld messengers with powerful backgrounds, no ghost cultivator can get it. The Yellow Spring River is heavily guarded. Even if a fairy king-level ghost cultivator tries his best to enter the Yellow Spring, he may not be able to break through the riverbed restrictions. It is even more difficult to sneak in quietly. "
While Wan Baiyun was talking, he signaled Yang Che to catch up quickly. The two of them kept their figures hidden and followed the ghost team into the "Fengqi Town".
Yang Che originally wanted to try it in this town. Maybe there was a ghost cultivator who had the Yellow Spring Yinhuang Jade, but seeing that the "necromancer" led the ghost team to move forward at a fast speed, he decided that if he didn't get enough Yellow Spring Yinhuang Jade in the Yellow Spring, he would try his luck in the eighteen important towns and "Fengcheng".
Yang Che and Wan Baiyun were quickly following the group of ghosts, when a group of aggressive "ghost immortals" suddenly rushed into the entrance of Ghost Gate!
One of the bald old men in the high-level True Immortal Realm immediately ordered the Ghost Gate to be closed, and then said loudly:
"The Underworld Selection Department is looking for the repeat offender, Ghost Gate is temporarily closed, no cultivator is allowed to leave!"
