Along the way, Zhao Hai was also silently calculating the time in the dark. He was thinking about how far he had walked. The final result made Zhao Hai somewhat shocked.
From the time they entered the cave until now, they had been walking for about four hours. Moreover, they had been using their movement techniques to move forward at full speed. This speed was definitely not slower than a horse, it might even be faster.
Although they were moving forward at such a fast speed, they didn't stop at all. How far had they walked? Zhao Hai calculated that if they walked in a straight line on the ground, then it would be several thousand li.
They went deep underground. Although they didn't go straight underground, it was still surprising that they were able to go this far underground.
However, it was clear that they hadn't reached the end yet. In the end, Zhao Hai didn't know how far they still had to go. From this, it could be seen that the underground world was really far from the surface.
Zhao Hai was also very curious. He didn't understand why they didn't use a transmission formation, but instead went through a tunnel to enter the underground world. This was too strange.
However, he also knew that now wasn't the time to ask. Therefore, he didn't ask much. He just followed behind everyone and kept on rushing.
After about ten hours, some of the Transcending Dust Stage Cultivators couldn't hold on any longer. Suddenly, a bright light appeared in front of them. When this light appeared, everyone's spirit shook.
Although these cultivators' hearts were as hard as stone, they still felt stifled as they moved forward in the darkness. Now that there was light, they couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. Everyone felt a surge of power rising from their bodies. At the same time, the stifling feeling in their hearts completely disappeared.
At this time, the entire group stopped. Zhao Hai heard Deng Wen's voice, "We've arrived. Let's go to the stone forest and rest for a while. When everyone has recovered, we can enter the underground world."
While speaking, Deng Wen led Zhao Hai and the others forward. Soon, Zhao Hai and the others understood what Deng Wen meant by the stone forest. To be precise, it was an underground forest fossil. Perhaps because there was no wind, the trees were very intact. Although there were no insects on them, the branches were still there. If these trees weren't grey and as hard as stone, Zhao Hai and the others would have thought that they had entered a winter forest.
But now, there were small insects on these trees. These insects were flashing with red light, and the red light that Zhao saw just now was from these small insects.
When everyone entered the forest, the insects didn't fly around. They were still flashing red on the trees. Long Xiang's voice was heard, "Alright, everyone rest here for a while. We'll be entering the underground world soon." Everyone scattered.
Deng Wen led Zhao Hai and the others to find a place to sit down. Then he looked at the group and said, "Outside of this stone forest is an underground mountain range. The underground mountain range isn't any different from the surface, the only difference is that it doesn't have a peak. Some of the higher mountain ranges are directly connected to the surface, but there aren't many of them. Moreover, they're more than ten thousand meters high, so there's a lot of space to move around underground. You don't need to worry about it." Deng Wen nodded and said, "That's right.
Everyone nodded. Then Deng Wen continued, "Once we enter the underground mountain range, we need to be careful. This is because there are a lot of underground beasts. We need to walk a long way in order to not let the Ghost Cultivators know that we came from there. It can be said that we won't have any big battles in the next month. We need to find a target, a target that is far away from here. This way, we can hide this place."
Everyone nodded. Then Deng Wen said, "When we go back, we can use the transmission formation. This is because we don't need to be afraid of being discovered. The underground world is very strange. If we use the transmission formation here, it wouldn't take long for the Ghost Cultivators to find out. I don't know how they found out, but I'm sure that they will. Therefore, we can't use the transmission formation to come here. However, we don't need to be afraid of being discovered when we go back."
Zhao Hai suddenly understood. He immediately understood why these people wanted to enter the underground world through this tunnel. They were afraid of being discovered by the Ghost Cultivators.
Deng Wen also told Zhao Hai and the others about the things that they need to pay attention to in the underground world. In the underground world, they must not eat or drink indiscriminately. Moreover, they must not treat any of the underground beasts lightly. Even if it was a small insect, they must not provoke it. This was because the beasts in the underground world were completely different from the ones on the surface. Many of the beasts here were demons. Once you provoke them, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Zhao Hai and the others didn't know much about the underground world. On the other hand, Deng Wen had been here many times. He knew a lot more about the underground world compared to Zhao Hai and the others. Therefore, when he spoke, Zhao Hai and the others listened carefully. This was because sometimes, these words could save your life.
After resting in the forest for an hour, everyone had almost recovered. Long Xiang stood up and said, "Alright, everyone get ready. We'll set off immediately. Everyone needs to pay attention at all times. After we leave the forest, we might encounter some demon beasts from the underground world. Everyone needs to pay attention at all times."
Everyone stood up and followed the leaders of their respective sects as they walked out of the forest. The forest wasn't very big. Zhao Hai and the others walked out of the forest in less than half an hour. When they came out of the forest, Zhao Hai and the others who had never been to the underground world couldn't help but be stunned. This was because the scenery in front of them was beyond their expectations.
They were now standing in the middle of a mountain range. The mountain range was faintly golden in color. At the top of the mountain, there were clouds that were dyed golden. What a beautiful yellow mountain!
If this scenery was on the surface of the True Spiritual Realm, then it wouldn't be strange at all. But now that they were in the underground world, it was strange for such a scenery to appear here.
However, it didn't take long for everyone to turn their attention to the pillars on the mountain. These pillars had a diameter of more than ten meters. As for how tall these pillars were, they couldn't be seen. They only knew that they were very tall, as if they were indomitable.
There were a lot of holes on the pillars, making them look like beehives. Each hole was the size of a fist. And in the middle of these holes, flames were spewing out. It was these flames that illuminated the entire space.
Just as Zhao Hai and the others were looking at the pillars in a daze, Long Xiang's voice was heard, "Everyone, pay attention. Don't stare at the pillars. Although the flames aren't dazzling, if you look at them for a long time, it will still cause damage to your eyes. Moreover, no matter what, don't destroy the pillars. Remember, remember!"
Long Xiang had been very strong before. Now that he suddenly said these words, everyone was stunned. At the same time, they understood the importance of these words.
Deng Wen's voice was heard, "Right now, it should be yellow in the underground world. Of all the pillars, only the middle one is still lit. I don't want you to destroy the pillars because they have a very special characteristic. That is, the pillars will retaliate against those who try to destroy them." Deng Wen's voice was heard.
Deng Wen said, "Don't ask me what's going on. The Earth Fire Pillars are the most mysterious existence in the underground world. Even Ghost Cultivators don't know the origins of these pillars. In any case, when they discovered the underground world, the Earth Fire Pillars were already there. They don't know what the Earth Fire Pillars have to do with the sunlight on the surface. When the surface is dark, the Earth Fire Pillars will also extinguish. When the surface is bright, the Earth Fire Pillars will also be completely lit. Moreover, the Earth Fire Pillars seem to have their own intelligence. If you want to destroy them, you will immediately be attacked by the Earth Fire. These Earth Fire Pillars are very powerful and can be compared to the True Sun Fire. Even a Vajra Realm Cultivator wouldn't be able to escape death after being attacked by the Earth Fire Pillars. But in the underground world, Earth Fire Pillars can be seen everywhere. Therefore, you must not think about destroying the Earth Fire Pillars. Otherwise, it will only bring trouble to you and all of us."
Everyone shivered and simultaneously responded in a low voice. At this time, Long Xiang once again led everyone to set off. They plunged into the boundless mountains, but everyone was also very careful, and carefully observed their surroundings.
Because of this, the group's speed wasn't very fast. Less than an hour after they entered the mountain, the fire pillars on the mountain were completely extinguished. The surroundings were covered in darkness. But then countless red insects flew around. They emitted a red fluorescent light, making the surroundings brighten up a bit.
If there was no light, then even with Zhao Hai's strength, it would be impossible for them to see the surroundings. But with the fluorescent light, everything was different. Zhao Hai and the others could clearly see the surroundings. This way, their movements wouldn't be affected.
After everyone adapted to the brightness, Long Xiang led the group to set off. However, everyone was even more careful this time. Some people even took out their weapons.
After walking for about half an hour, suddenly a squeaking sound like a mouse came from the front. Hearing this sound, Long Xiang immediately said, "Stop, everyone stop." Everyone immediately stopped.
Deng Wen turned to Zhao and the others and said, "Don't underestimate this sound. In the Underworld, only the Glow-Fire Rats will make this sound. This sound is a warning that we have entered their territory and that we should leave immediately. If we don't leave, I'm afraid that the Glow-Fire Rats will attack us. Glow-Fire Rats are the most troublesome beasts in the Underworld. These fellows' attack power is very formidable, and their fire spells are also very powerful. Because they feed on Earth Fire, the flames that they spit out are even stronger than Earth Fire. Fortunately, the Glow-Fire Rats won't take the initiative to attack us unless we break into their territory after their warning. So when we hear the Glow-Fire Rats' warning, we shouldn't have any other ideas, we should immediately retreat."
