Chapter 404: The Legend of the Netherworld Gate
After communicating with the Nine-Heart Thunder Flame's divine consciousness, Yang Che realized that the 'fire thread' that had entered his body before was actually a little unusual.
The Nine-Heart Thunder Flame could not completely devour it in a short period of time.
Yang Che suddenly thought of something, and his divine consciousness immediately spread out, covering nearly two thousand miles away.
Soon, he vaguely sensed that Jiang Wudao had really caught up with him.
If it weren't for the ancient flying boat's speed, he would have been caught up by Jiang Wudao at this moment.
Yang Che put away the ancient flying boat, took out a big sip of the Heavenly Soul Wine, and then performed continuous teleportation. In a few dozen breaths, he was already thousands of miles away.
Then he boarded the ancient flying boat again and rushed towards the Netherworld Mountains in the White Tiger Realm.
At the same time, Yang Che controlled the black flame produced by the 'Nine-Leaf Moyang Fruit' in his body to participate in the devouring of the 'fire thread'.
Although the black flame was very small, after participating in the devouring of the fire thread, the effect was surprisingly good, and soon these fire threads were completely devoured, leaving nothing behind.
More than half a month later, Yang Che entered the White Tiger Realm.
Although he did not sense Jiang Wudao's pursuit after his spiritual sense was released, Yang Che did not go directly to the Nether Mountain Range for the sake of caution.
Instead, he chose the opposite direction of the Nether Mountain Range and opened up a temporary cave in a small earthen hill near a remote lake.
After setting up a ban on the small earthen hill, Yang Che took out the black leather scroll and continued to study.
A few days later, Yang Che chose a dark and windy night and sneaked into the Nether Mountain Range.
When he arrived at the Nether Mountain Range, Yang Che immediately used the "Hidden Hidden Technique" to enter the mountains and carefully engraved almost every inch of land and every forest in the Nether Mountain Range in his mind.
During this period, Yang Che discovered the peak of the Heavenly Ghost Sect's main sect.
In order to ensure that all the terrain of the Nether Mountain Range was familiar to him without missing a single detail, Yang Che finally sneaked into the Heavenly Ghost Sect's main sect.
There were more than 20 cultivators in the late Yuanying stage in the main sect of the Heavenly Ghost Sect. This made Yang Che feel a chill in his heart, and he also had a deeper understanding of the repeated defeats of the Corpse-Slaying Demon Alliance.
In order to avoid being exposed, Yang Che was extremely careful. Under the magic of the "Hidden Breath Technique" and the "Hidden Hidden Technique", he memorized the topography of the main sect of the Heavenly Ghost Sect and quietly left the Heavenly Ghost Sect.
In the end, after seven days, Yang Che finally found the topography of the Nether Mountain Range shown on the black leather scroll.
This is almost located in the deepest part of the Nether Mountain Range, a desolate and gloomy place.
It is thousands of miles away from the main sect of the Heavenly Ghost Sect.
Standing here, Yang Che looked around and found that except for a small part of the area within a radius of more than ten miles that was very similar to the black scroll, there was no similarity at all in other places.
Yang Che thought carefully for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.
"Could it be that a great change has happened here in the past?"
Yang Che observed back and forth in this area of more than ten miles, but still found nothing in the end.
Helpless, Yang Che simply entered the illusory magic stone space and asked Jin Long for advice.
Jin Long looked at Yang Che's black leather scroll, and a very solemn and surprised look appeared in his huge dragon eyes.
"Boy, this map is likely to point to the location of the mysterious 'Netherworld Gate' in the legend of the human world."
Jin Long's words were shocking.
"What, Netherworld Gate?"
Yang Che's eyes were shocked, and he couldn't believe it.
There has always been a rumor in the world of immortal cultivation that there is a 'Netherworld Gate' in the Netherworld Mountain.
If you can find this gate, you can pass through it to enter the mysterious 'Nine Nether Purgatory'.
Legend has it that the Nine Nether Purgatory is the gray area from the sixth-level immortal realm 'Human World' to the seventh-level immortal realm 'Nine Nether Realm' in the upper world.
However, for tens of thousands of years, the top immortal cultivators in the human world have been searching hard, but have never been able to find the legendary "Gate of the Netherworld".
Gradually, the Gate of the Netherworld only existed in legends and was slowly forgotten by the people in the immortal world.
Now, the top immortal cultivators in the human world have also focused their energy and attention on the "Tower of Babel" in the Tengshe Realm.
It is said that as long as you can reach the top of the Tower of Babel, you can successfully leave the human world and enter the spirit world.
So when Yang Che learned from Jinlong that the black leather scroll might be referring to the legendary "Gate of the Netherworld", he almost couldn't believe it.
"Senior Jinlong, have you seen the Netherworld Gate?"
Yang Che just asked casually, but he didn't expect Jinlong to nod his huge head and said in a low voice:
"I have seen it. Back then, I was just a carefree little dragon, wandering around freely. One day, I was chased by a demon cultivator, and had to go into the Netherworld Mountains.
It was also at that time that I happened to see a cultivator passing through the Netherworld Gate, and then disappeared. When I caught up with him, a huge and sinister force came out from the gate and pushed me away, and then the Netherworld Gate disappeared."
Yang Che felt incredible and unreal when he heard this.
"So, the rumors about the Netherworld Gate are true?"
"The Netherworld Gate does exist, but I, Old Dragon, don't know where it leads to. But after I successfully entered the spirit world, I heard from the Dragon Clan that the Netherworld Gate seemed to lead to a mysterious 'prison'. But this rumor has nothing to do with the Dragon Clan, so I didn't investigate it in depth."
The Golden Dragon's eyes showed a look of reminiscence, as if he had been thinking for a long time, and then he continued:
"But the monk who was passing through the Netherworld Gate at that time, I remember that he seemed to be holding a red scroll in his hand, and his whole body was covered by the red glow released by the scroll, which was extremely sacred."
"Red scroll? Senior Jinlong, can you please check if this is it?"
Yang Che was even more surprised after hearing what Jinlong said. He immediately moved his palm and took out the red scroll he got on the third floor of Ziye Cave.
Jinlong stared at the scroll for a long time, but finally said uncertainly:
"It has been too long, at least hundreds of thousands of years, right? So I can't be sure if it is this scroll. But I can be sure that the monk did have a scroll in his hand at that time, and it was emitting red light."
"Senior Jinlong, it is rumored that the Netherworld Gate is shrouded in dark yin all year round, and there is a whistling wind from time to time. But everything is normal here. Except for being a little gloomy, there is no yin and wind. This is puzzling."
Yang Che used his spiritual sense to scan the black leather scroll again, and a puzzled look appeared on his face.
Jin Long suddenly advised: "Boy, the Netherworld Gate is not a good rumor even in the spirit world. I just said that in the spirit world, it is rumored that this gate leads to a mysterious prison, so Lao Long advises you not to try this Netherworld Gate."
"Thank you for your kindness. But I still want to give it a try. If there is really any danger that I can't deal with, I can just run away."
Yang Che knew that Jin Long meant well, but he couldn't help wanting to explore this gate.
After thinking about it, Yang Che left the illusory magic stone space and prepared to use the red scroll to try out what mysteries there were here.
But at this moment, Yang Che's consciousness suddenly sensed an extremely powerful breath, which was quickly coming towards the Netherworld Mountains.
This breath was actually above Yu Wenlou, who was in the middle stage of the transformation of the spirit realm of the Yu Wen family!
This person's speed was too fast. Yang Che had just put away the red scroll and was about to leave, and the breath was actually within a hundred miles.
"The magical power of the transformation of the spirit stage, the art of relocation!"
After Yang Che sensed this magical power, his heart sank suddenly.
The person who came was actually a powerful cultivator in the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm.
Who could it be?
Yang Che knew that he had no chance of escaping except to escape into the magic stone space, so he simply stayed still and waited for this person to appear.
