"Paper boats?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback. "Even Saint pinnacle artifacts are unable to withstand the corrosion, so how can paper boats not be corroded?"
It was not that he found it hard to believe, but it was simply too inconceivable.
He was well aware of the prowess of Saint pinnacle artifacts. Even a Saint 9-dan pinnacle expert wouldn't be able to destroy them, but they wouldn't be able to withstand the corrosion of the yellow water for long. As for paper … even an ordinary human would be able to tear it apart.
"I don't know either, so I really can't think of a way to create the Netherworld Ship. I heard that the Netherworld Ship was created by Kong Shi, and the secret to it has long been lost. Even the Mingshi Tang doesn't have it! "
Wu Chen shook his head.
"Doesn't that mean that we can't cross the river?"
Zhang Xuan asked with a frown.
Just from the name of the Netherworld Bridge, it was clear that it would be extremely difficult to construct. On top of that, they didn't know how to create the Netherworld Ship either.
Could they only wait here helplessly?
"Had it been in the past, it wouldn't have been difficult to cross the river without these two factors. However, we don't have sufficient resources at the moment, so I don't have any other ideas either!"
Wu Chen frowned. He didn't seem to have any other ideas either.
"This …"
Zhang Xuan turned to Lozosy, only to see the latter shaking her head as well. "It's indeed difficult to cross the river. I do know a few methods, but it's extremely difficult to execute them with my current strength. "
"Let me see if there's a solution then!"
The four of them had already crossed the river. If they continued to delay here, it would be too late. Zhang Xuan hesitated for a moment before taking a step forward. He walked up to the Netherworld Yellow Water and touched it with his finger.
"Are you insane?"
Seeing the other party touching the Netherworld Yellow Water with his finger, Wu Chen nearly fainted on the spot.
That was as good as courting death!
Just as he was about to rush forward and pull the other party back, a bizarre look suddenly surfaced on Zhang Xuan's face. Following which, he picked up the Netherworld Yellow Water with both hands, licked it, and drank two mouthfuls. His eyes lit up as he turned around and said, "It's quite delicious. Let's try it together …"
"Try it?"
His vision darkened, and Wu Chen nearly fainted.
This was the Yellow Water of Hell. As the name implied, it was the water of the Yellow Springs from hell. As long as one touched it or fell into it, they would definitely enter the cycle of reincarnation, and it would be difficult for them to survive.
The fellow before him … not only did he touch it, he even drank two mouthfuls …
Did he have to be so fierce?
"It's true. Aren't you exaggerating?"
Taking another sip, Zhang Xuan felt refreshed, as if he had just drunk the Spirit Essence. Unable to hold himself back any longer, he turned to Zhang Xuan.
The other party had described this thing as something that even Great Sage cultivators feared. However, when Zhang Xuan touched it, he didn't feel anything at all!
He had used the Library of Heaven's Path to check, and it wasn't as terrifying as the other party made it out to be.
Not only was it not dangerous, but it was also very delicious. Could it be that he was scaring himself and made it sound too scary?
"…"
Seeing how the young man didn't seem to be corroded at all after drinking the yellow water, Wu Chen was a little puzzled. Could it be that … he had made a mistake?
He couldn't help but walk up to it and place his finger into it.
Tzzzzzzzzz!
A heart-wrenching pain assaulted him, and he hurriedly pulled his hand out, only to see that it had already turned black. If he had been a moment later, his entire finger might have been gone.
Enduring the excruciating pain, Zhang Xuan's eyebrows twitched. He turned to look at the young man who was stirring the yellow water with his hand, and he felt like crying.
He was an expert, an expert, an expert … How could his finger be corroded as soon as it entered the yellow water, and yet, the other party was completely fine?
This didn't make sense!
"No, that's not right … There's something wrong with your body and soul!"
Frustrated, Zhang Xuan took a closer look at Zhang Xuan, and all of a sudden, he frowned in horror.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Xuan paused his playfulness and turned to look at Zhang Xuan.
Even though his body had cultivated the Heaven's Path Divine Art, making it comparable to a Saint pinnacle artifact, it was still far from comparable to a Great Sage Sempiternal realm cultivator. Yet, the other party's finger was corroded as soon as it entered the yellow water, and yet, he was completely unaffected. Even he couldn't make sense of what was going on.
"There's a faint trace of lightning lingering in your body and soul. It's this lightning that's blocking the corrosion of the yellow water," Wu Chen said grimly.
"Lightning?"
"That's right. The Yellow Water of the Netherworld is a cold and sinister energy hidden underground. On the other hand, lightning is the embodiment of the heavens' might. Before the might of the heavens, the ghosts of the Netherworld wouldn't dare to cause trouble …"
Wu Chen couldn't believe what he was hearing. "But … how can one's body and soul contain the power of lightning? Yet, they are completely fine? "
Even though cultivators would have to undergo the lightning tribulation from Leaving Aperture realm onwards, they would only be able to withstand the lightning tribulation passively. Even experts who had cultivated lightning cultivation techniques wouldn't be able to absorb the lightning tribulation into their body and emerge unscathed!
This was especially so for cultivators whose souls were extremely weak. Even after condensing their Primordial Spirits, they would still fear lightning, just like how ice feared fire.
The young man before him hadn't even reached Great Sage yet, but there were still layers of lightning harnessing in his soul that helped him withstand the corrosion of the yellow water. Even though he had seen it with his own eyes, he still found it hard to comprehend.
"I see …"
Zhang Xuan nodded in realization.
In the past two months, he had been absorbing lightning to raise his cultivation, so both his soul and physical body were already filled with lightning. If the Yellow Water of the Netherworld was afraid of lightning, he would indeed have an advantage over the others.
"Since lightning is able to withstand the Yellow Water, won't we be able to cross the Yellow Water easily if we summon the lightning tribulation over?"
Understanding what was going on, Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up in excitement.
The Yellow Water of the Netherworld was afraid of something. If they could summon it over, they would be able to instill fear in it, and it wouldn't dare to attack them anymore.
"Summon the lightning tribulation?"
Wu Chen shook his head with a bitter smile. "You are thinking too much. The lightning tribulation is the wrath of the heavens. Even if we can attract it over with a breakthrough, who can achieve a breakthrough at the moment? Even if we manage to attract it over, we won't be able to withstand the lightning tribulation alone. How can we possibly get it to withstand the Yellow Water and help us cross the Yellow Water? "
There were times when the young man before him seemed to be a formidable figure, but there were times when he spoke like a child, completely unreliable.
The lightning tribulation was the wrath of the heavens, the punishment of the heavens. To use the Yellow Water to cross the Yellow Water … That was simply wishful thinking!
"Don't worry, that's not a problem at all."
Seeing that the other party was worried about this, Zhang Xuan shook his head. With a flick of his wrist, a saint beast flew out and circled around him. It emanated a frightening aura!
Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast!
"I have just taken a look, and the water here will be of great help to your breakthrough. I'll tell you where your problem lies now. Use the Yellow Water here to stimulate your acupoints, and you should be able to push for a breakthrough …"
Zhang Xuan raised his head to look at the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast and said.
The Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast harnessed the cold aura of the netherworld. Normally, it would need to absorb the unique spiritual energy in order to advance its cultivation. The Yellow Water before it was compatible with the attribute of the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast. Even though the corrosive nature of the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast was extremely harmful to it, as long as it used it properly, it could achieve unexpected results.
It might even be possible for it to achieve a breakthrough to Great Sage!
