The thick smell of blood permeated the entire passage. Zhao Hai couldn't help but frown. He knew that this was caused by the Blood Sacrifice.
After some time, Zhao Hai saw a light in front of him. He knew that he was about to reach the end, but the further he flew, the greater the resistance. He didn't know if this was the case when Jin Jun and the others went out, but it should be the same.
The entrance of the passage was right in front of him, but the resistance had also increased. Every inch forward required a lot of strength. In the end, Zhao Hai had no choice but to use the power of laws. Once he used the power of laws, he felt that the resistance had decreased a lot. Relying on the protection of the power of laws, he quickly drilled out of the passage.
As soon as he came out of the passage, Zhao Hai felt that there was no resistance. But what made him feel strange was that he didn't feel any pressure. After sensing his surroundings, he discovered that the density of spiritual energy here was a big problem. There wasn't much spiritual energy here at all.
Zhao Hai looked forward and found that he was in the void. And far in front of them, there was a red ribbon floating. This ribbon was very long. It came from the void and flew into the void. It looked very spectacular and beautiful.
Zhao Hai knew that this must be the Nine Nether Blood River. However, he didn't expect that the Nine Nether Blood River would be so beautiful.
Zhao Hai looked around. There was nothing, just a void. It was different from the void in the Void Realm. The void in the Void Realm had stars, meteorites, energy clusters, and rays. Because of this, the entire void was very beautiful. Starlight could be seen all around, giving people a feeling of vitality.
However, there was nothing in the void here, only dead silence and darkness. Only the blood river in the distance was emitting a bloody light, making the entire void shrouded in red. Therefore, this place gave people a very oppressive feeling.
Zhao Hai sighed. He now understood why Liu Yiren said that people would go crazy if they stayed here for a long time. This was indeed the case. After entering the Nine Nether Blood Realm, it was like entering a small dark room. After a long time, people would go crazy.
Zhao Hai looked around and didn't find anything. Then he turned his head and flew forward. His goal was the Nine Nether Blood River. Therefore, he flew straight towards it.
After moving, Zhao Hai discovered that the spiritual qi consumption in the Nine Nether Blood Realm was ten times higher than outside. Just by flying forward, he could feel the spiritual qi in his body being consumed rapidly. This made Zhao Hai stare. Then he couldn't help but nod. Now he understood why Liu Yiren said that people in the Nine Nether Blood Realm wouldn't move if there was nothing important.
After flying forward for a while, Zhao Hai suddenly noticed a shadow in front of him. Zhao Hai stared, but he immediately thought that it was a Cultivator. Zhao Hai didn't fly towards the shadow. Instead, he bypassed it and flew straight towards the Nine Nether Blood River.
When Zhao Hai bypassed the shadow, he discovered that the shadow was a Cultivator. However, the Cultivator was sitting cross-legged, motionless as if he was concentrating on cultivation.
Zhao Hai didn't care. He heard from Liu Yiren that as long as you don't take the initiative to attack others in the Nine Nether Blood Realm, very few people would take the initiative to attack you. However, you have to stay at least a hundred meters away from the other party. Otherwise, the other party would think that you have malicious intent. In that case, a battle would be unavoidable.
But in the Nine Nether Blood Realm, only lunatics would provoke others. This was because if you provoke others, the spiritual qi would be consumed even faster. It was a classic case of both sides suffering.
Along the way, Zhao Hai finally understood what it meant to run a horse to death just by looking at a mountain. He saw that the Nine Nether Blood River wasn't very far from him. But when he started to walk, he discovered that the Nine Nether Blood River was very far away. He had been flying for a few hours now, but he still hadn't closed the distance.
Fortunately, Zhao Hai wasn't in a hurry. He continued to fly forward slowly. At the same time, he also paid attention to his surroundings. He wanted to see how many Cultivators he would encounter in the Nine Nether Blood Realm.
The more he flew forward, the more surprised Zhao Hai was. This was because there were too many Cultivators in the Nine Nether Blood Realm. He calculated that he had been flying for three hours. However, in these three hours, he had encountered nearly a thousand Cultivators. This was really shocking.
One must know that Zhao Hai was walking in a straight line. In other words, he was walking in a straight line alone. In this case, it only took him three hours to encounter so many people. This was really surprising.
From this point, it could be seen that there were a lot of Cultivators in the Nine Nether Blood Realm. This made Zhao Hai a little worried. If everyone in the Nine Nether Blood Realm ran out, then it would be very troublesome to deal with them. However, he didn't have a way to seal the passages. He had already tried to use a formation to seal the passages, but it didn't work. As soon as the formation covered the passages, it would immediately be swallowed by the passage. This was the reason why Zhao Hai was worried.
After flying for more than two hours, Zhao Hai felt a little numb. He didn't know how many Cultivators he had encountered. These Cultivators were sitting there motionlessly with their eyes closed as if they were cultivating. However, Zhao Hai felt a deathly aura coming from them. This kind of deathly silence made them lose hope of living. They were still persevering. Perhaps it wasn't because they were strong, but because of a habit. Perhaps their hearts were already dead.
However, this was also the reason why Zhao Hai was worried. These Cultivators were now prepared to die. Their hearts were already dead. This was all caused by the environment here. They couldn't leave and could only wait for death. In addition, this environment was like a confinement room. It wasn't strange for them to have such an aura.
However, if they found a passage to the outside world, they would definitely rush out like crazy. Moreover, what kind of feeling would they feel when they saw the outside world full of vitality? They wouldn't be willing to come back here even if they were beaten to death. They would fight anyone who wanted them to come back.
Zhao Hai let out a long breath. He really didn't know what to do. He didn't expect this situation. There were a lot more people in the Nine Nether Blood Realm than he imagined.
At the same time, Zhao Hai also discovered that although his spiritual energy consumption was very fast, it wasn't that he couldn't replenish it at all. It was just that the speed of replenishment was very slow. When he was flying in the outside world, if the amount of spiritual energy consumed was one, then the amount of spiritual energy he would receive would be one or even more. But in this place, the amount of spiritual energy consumed was at least ten, and the amount of spiritual energy he received was at most five or six, which was very little.
Of course, this kind of replenishment wasn't as fast as his consumption. Zhao Hai also discovered that even if he stopped and didn't move, his spiritual energy would still be consumed faster than his replenishment. This was a very strange phenomenon.
"Young man, did you just come in? If you trust me, then don't move around. Stop and find a place to stay. This way, you'll be able to hold on for a while. " Just as Zhao Hai was thinking about his own matters, a voice was suddenly heard. This voice was very old and somewhat weak. However, it still pulled Zhao Hai's attention back.
Zhao Hai looked towards the direction of the voice and saw an old cultivator sitting cross-legged about two hundred meters to his left. He couldn't see how old this cultivator was. His hair was completely white and his body was very thin. However, his eyes were bright and full of spirit. What made Zhao Hai feel strange was that he didn't have any death qi on him.
Zhao Hai stopped. He looked at the old cultivator curiously and asked, "Old Mister, isn't the Nine Nether Blood Realm only for young people? How did you get in here? "
The old cultivator looked at Zhao Hai and laughed. "When this old man entered the Nine Nether Blood Realm, I didn't even know how young I was. My black hair turned white, and in the blink of an eye, my hair turned white."
Zhao Hai looked at the old cultivator with a puzzled expression and said, "Old Mister, please forgive my rudeness. I heard that people can't stay in the Nine Nether Blood Realm for a long time. How did you manage to stay here for so long?"
The old cultivator looked at Zhao Hai and chuckled. "Young man, don't look at this old man's white hair. This old man is actually a Buddhist Cultivator. Do you understand?"
Now that the old Cultivator said this, Zhao Hai understood. Buddhist Cultivators were definitely a special existence among Cultivators. Buddhist Cultivators might not be the strongest, but they were very famous for their survivability. Buddhist Cultivators have a very strong survivability. Moreover, they have a way to maintain their spiritual qi consumption at a very low level. This might be the reason why Zhao Hai was able to persist in this place for such a long time.
Zhao Hai slowly flew to the side of the old Cultivator and said, "I don't know how Mister managed to persist for so long. I heard that the most difficult thing to do in the Nine Nether Blood Realm isn't absorbing spiritual qi. Instead, it's persevering in this deathly stillness. How did Mister survive in this boundless deathly stillness?" Zhao Hai nodded.
The old cultivator looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Young man, it seems that you know a lot about the Nine Nether Blood Realm. Yes, the Nine Nether Blood Realm is a deathly stillness. But in this environment, this old man can calm down and study Buddhism. This is a unique place for this old man."
Zhao Hai looked at the old cultivator and asked, "Old Mister, aren't you a Buddhist Cultivator? Why don't you call yourself Old Mister instead of Poor Monk? Old Mister, what's your Dharma name? Can you tell me? "
The old cultivator chuckled. "Young man, what is Buddhism? What is a Buddhist Cultivator? How can one be considered a real Buddhist Cultivator? Could it be that those who call themselves Buddhas and chant scriptures every day are Buddhist Cultivators? No, those people aren't real Buddhist Cultivators. If you have Buddha in your heart, then you are Buddha. If you don't have Buddha in your heart, then you are just a fake Buddha. As for the Dharma name, it's just a title. This old man has long forgotten it. "
When Zhao Hai heard this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of respect. This old cultivator was a true Buddhist Cultivator. As long as you have a Buddha in your heart, then you are a Buddha. If you don't have a Buddha in your heart, then you're just a fake Buddhist Cultivator. The old cultivator's words were very reasonable.
Zhao Hai cupped his fists at the old cultivator and said, "This young man has learned a lot. Old Mister is really a great Buddhist Cultivator. To tell you the truth, Old Mister, I just came in from the outside world. I just wanted to take a look at the Nine Nether Blood River. As for the matter of the Nine Nether Blood Realm, I only heard about it from others."
The old cultivator smiled faintly and said, "Young people are really curious. If this old man isn't wrong, then you must've entered the Nine Nether Blood Realm by yourself. Young man, you don't know that the Nine Nether Blood Realm is a land of death. It's easy to come in, but difficult to leave. "
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Old Mister doesn't need to worry. If I can come in, then I can leave. If Old Mister is willing, then I can also take you out. Would you be willing?"
The old cultivator looked at Zhao Hai and found that he wasn't joking. The old cultivator couldn't help but stare. Then he calmly looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Oh, what price would this old man have to pay for you to take me out?"
Zhao Hai looked at the old cultivator's calm expression and was surprised. He looked at the old cultivator and said, "Old Mister doesn't seem surprised at all? Why is that? "
The old cultivator smiled faintly and said, "This old man is now in the Nine Nether. There's nothing worse than this situation. Moreover, this old man has nothing on him, so I'm not afraid of you deceiving me. Young man, tell me, what price would this old man have to pay for you to take me out?"
Zhao Hai looked at the old cultivator, then he smiled faintly and said, "There's no need for that. If you follow me in the future, then I can take you out. However, I can only take you to the lower realms, I can't let you return to your realm."
The old cultivator smiled faintly and said, "So Young Man has taken a fancy to this old man's life. Alright, I'll die here sooner or later. If I can see the outside world before I die, then it would be a good thing. This old man agrees."
Zhao Hai looked at the old cultivator and said, "Is Old Mister's heart moved?"
The old cultivator smiled and said, "What is a mortal heart? If Buddha is in the heart, then there are pure scholars everywhere. If Buddha isn't in the heart, then there's the secular world. This old man has been in the Nine Nether Pure Land for many years. If I can see the secular world, then it would be a great thing. Buddhas are myriad, all living beings are Buddhas, and seeing all living beings is like seeing Buddhas.
How can it be good? "Zhao Hai couldn't help but laugh and said," Good. Old Mister, your words are very good. As long as Old Mister swears a heart demon oath, then I'll take Old Mister out. "
The old cultivator smiled faintly and said, "This old man only has Buddha in his heart, there is no devil. Young man, this Great Heart Demon Oath is useless to this old man. If you really want to listen, then this old man can make this Great Heart Demon Oath."
