Seeing the Emperor of the Underworld fly away, Yue Qianchou felt depressed. He had wanted to strike while the iron was hot and form a relationship with the Emperor of the Underworld. Who would have thought that the Emperor of the Underworld would leave without any warning? Little did he know that the Emperor of the Underworld would shamelessly come here to express his goodwill. For someone who was used to being in a superior position, it was already very awkward. Although he still maintained his demeanor on the surface, he was extremely embarrassed and did not have the face to stay here any longer.
Hearing that the Emperor of the Underworld would let them go, Cangyun Xin and Shen You were overjoyed. They did not know what Yue Qianchou had said to the Emperor of the Underworld to let them pass safely.
The red-armored soldier also looked at Yue Qianchou with a puzzled expression. He also wanted to know what the Emperor of the Underworld had said to Yue Qianchou, but it was not convenient for him to ask about the Emperor of the Underworld. He could only snort coldly and say, "You guys are lucky today. Get out!"
Yue Qianchou stood on the roof and looked at the red-armored soldier below. He still felt like he was dreaming. He did not expect to see the Emperor of the Underworld, Bai Qi, under such circumstances. He did not expect Bai Qi to reward him. It was too unexpected.
Hearing Zhan Jun telling them to scram, Yue Qianchou looked towards the distance where the red light filled the sky. He casually took out his flying shuttle and jumped on it. Gray Cloud Xin and Shen You understood his intention and flashed up. The three of them saluted the red-armored soldiers below. Afterwards, Ash Cloud Xin took over the flying shuttle without any complaints and quickly drove it away.
Standing on the square above the sea of lava, the red-armored soldier looked in the direction they were going. His eyes were filled with confusion. He mumbled to himself, "They are going there. Did the Emperor of the Underworld give them a mission?"
The flying shuttle flew across the sky. Below them was still the sea of lava. The screams from time to time could no longer attract the attention of the three people above. Cangyun Xin stood at the front of the flying shuttle. After a while, he could not help but ask, "Yue Qianchou, is the token of the Emperor of the Underworld in your hand real?"
"Of course it's fake. But if the Underworld Emperor says it's real, then it's real." Yue Qianchou let out a sigh of relief and said, "It's all good now. We can use the Endless Horizon to directly enter the mysterious forbidden area. There shouldn't be any danger on this trip."
This was not what Gray Cloud Xin wanted to hear. He was shocked to see the Underworld Emperor safe and sound. After a moment of silence, he asked again, "What did the Underworld Emperor tell you?"
"Old Cang! This is related to the Emperor of the Underworld, so it's really inconvenient to divulge it. Please excuse me, "Yue Qianchou said with a perfunctory chuckle. Gray Cloud Xin's face twitched, and he shut up.
Shen You sat alone at the back of the flying shuttle. He did not look too good, and he seemed to be in low spirits. It seemed that meditating was indeed not suitable for him to stay in the Endless Horizon. Even though they were flying in the sky far away from the ground, the temperature was still like a furnace, making him feel a little unbearable.
However, this fellow had no human rights and could only endure it. Fortunately, Yue Qianchou discovered it in time. He asked Gray Cloud Xin to change his original flight path and fly horizontally above the Netherworld River Basin. They continued to fly along the Netherworld River Basin, which made Shen You feel better.
Time passed day by day as they flew endlessly. Yue Qianchou was bored, and he would occasionally drop one of the silver balls he was playing with into the Nether River Basin below.
As time passed, the two sides of the Netherworld River, which were sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, gradually drew closer. They could no longer see the vast and boundless water surface of the Netherworld River. Until one day, the sea of lava on both sides of the Netherworld River was suddenly left behind them. A cool breeze blew past them. Yue Qianchou stood on the flying shuttle and waved his hands behind him as he cheered, "We've finally flown out of the Endless Horizon!"
Gray Cloud Xin's slightly tired face finally revealed a hint of relief. They had been flying at high speed for almost two months without stopping for a moment. Even though he had a high cultivation base, he still felt that it was a little too much. At the same time, he could not help but sigh. The vastness of the Netherworld had exceeded his expectations!
"Don't be too happy too early. There's at most one more month before the Celestial Emperor's wedding. Even if we return now, we won't make it in time. " Qing Yun Xin coldly looked at Yue Qianchou and reminded him. In fact, he had already reminded him countless times along the way. However, Yue Qianchou was determined to continue forward. Yue Qianchou told him not to meddle in other people's business and said that he had a way to return in time.
Gray Cloud Xin thought that Di Jiu would not disregard his own life, so he waited to see how Di Jiu would return in time.
Hearing his words, Yue Qianchou was about to repeat the same old story, but he saw Ji You walking to the front of the flying shuttle in a daze. He inserted himself in front of Gray Cloud Xin, who was frowning, and slowly knelt down. He faced the cool night wind and began to cry. His tears flowed down his face!
Yue Qianchou walked forward and exchanged glances with Gray Cloud Xin. They both felt a little strange. Then, they heard Ji You choking on his sobs and muttering to himself, "I'm back … After one hundred and fifty thousand years … I'm finally back …"
Although the voice was soft, the two of them could hear it clearly at such a close distance. Surprised, they couldn't help but look at their surroundings. The two sides of the Netherworld River were empty plains that were like the Gobi Desert. Not a single undulation could be seen, and the Netherworld River below them was at most a hundred meters wide.
"Ji You! You used to cultivate here? "Yue Qianchou asked suspiciously.
Ji You was shocked and realized that he had lost his composure. He panicked and suddenly remembered something. He suddenly stood up and shouted at the two of them, "Slow down! Slow down, it's very dangerous here! "
Not only did he slow down, Gray Cloud Xin directly stopped the flying shuttle in the air. He narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Ji You! What's going on? "
"This area is the isolation zone between the Netherworld and the mysterious forbidden area. Don't think that it's peaceful here. In fact, it's full of danger. The invisible and mysterious power that can tear everything apart can appear in the air at any time. It's very powerful. Even the Immortal Emperor of the Immortal World and the Netherworld Emperor of the Netherworld don't dare to trespass here." Ji You pointed at the Netherworld River in front and below. "In this isolation zone, whether it's on land or in the water, even underground, there are no living creatures. It's because they can't survive the invisible and mysterious power."
Yue Qianchou and Gray Cloud Xin looked at each other. No wonder no one dared to trespass the forbidden area of the Netherworld. It was because of this reason. However, the two of them had suspicions in their eyes. Yue Qianchou touched his chin and sneered. "Ji You! Do you think the two of us are fools or idiots? Since no living creatures can survive here, why were you able to cultivate here in the past? "
"You should be punished!" Gray Cloud Xin stared at Ji You and shouted coldly. "Looks like we can't let him live anymore. Otherwise, who knows what traps are waiting for us ahead. After all, we're not familiar with this place at all." Yue Qianchou frowned and looked at Ji You, but he didn't object …
Ji You looked at the two of them and smiled bitterly. "I won't hide it from you now. Actually, you've misunderstood. This isn't the place where I cultivated in the past." As he said that, he raised his hand and pointed ahead along the Netherworld River. He sighed. "Follow this Netherworld River straight ahead. With Elder Cang's flying speed, it won't take more than a day for you to see a waterfall that flows down from a tall mountain. I came down from that waterfall back then. As long as we cross that tall mountain, we'll reach the legendary forbidden area of the Netherworld. And I … am from the so-called mysterious forbidden area of the Netherworld! "
Yue Qianchou and Cangyun Xin were stunned. Both of them had suspected that this fellow was hiding some sort of secret, but none of them had imagined that this fellow's origins would be so strange. He was actually from the mysterious Netherworld Forbidden Area, and it was too inconceivable.
Gray Cloud Xin's throat moved, and he said with some difficulty in a threatening tone, "You're not lying to us, are you?"
"There's no need! I want to go back alive, so there's no need to lie to you. " There was a trace of nostalgia hidden in Jiu You's lonely expression. He looked ahead and sighed faintly. "More than a million years ago, I was born in a lake there. I was ignorant and carefree. Only after five hundred thousand years did my spiritual wisdom appear. Another five hundred thousand years later, I was lucky enough to find the way of cultivation. It only took me fifty thousand years to cultivate to the early stage of Underworld Lord."
"Just when I broke through to the early stage of Netherworld Venerable, which was 150,000 years ago, I was suddenly possessed and wanted to see the outside world. Therefore, I followed the small river that connected the lake and finally stood on the waterfall. I hesitated for a long time, but in the end, I couldn't help but go with the flow. In the end, I came to the so-called Netherworld River. Who knew that the outside world was extremely dangerous? It was the first time I met the Water Tribe in the Netherworld River. They wanted to take my life because of a disagreement. I was so scared that I fled in a panic. I ran far away before I got out of danger. "
"After that, I didn't want to stay outside anymore. I wanted to go back to where I left. But my fate was really full of misfortune. Every time I wanted to go back the way I came, I would always encounter some dangerous things. It was as if God was playing a joke on me. It worked every time! Not only did I fail to come back, but I was also getting further and further away from where I wanted to go. Just like that, I spent one hundred and fifty thousand years in the River Styx with nowhere to go. I thought that I would never be able to return in this lifetime … I left home so far away and experienced so many dangers. I no longer had the courage to return because I was too scared to try again. "
"Until I met you two … It was the first time I had the courage to taste the flesh of a human in the Immortal World. Who knew that I was as unlucky as ever. You know what happened next. I never dreamed that I would be able to come back here in this lifetime …"
There was such an unlucky guy in this world? Yue Qianchou and Cangyun Xin looked at each other. While they felt it was unbelievable, they also sighed for Ji You's fate. Cangyun Xin looked ahead and asked with a frown, "I don't know what's so mysterious about this Netherworld Forbidden Land. Ji You! What's in the Forbidden Land? "
"This …" Ji You hesitated for a while and smiled bitterly. "I didn't think that place was mysterious before, but after coming out and getting in touch with the outside world, I realized that it's a place far away from the Three Realms. There were quite a few tombs scattered about. If one were to ask whose tombs they were, using the language of the Three Realms, those tombs were the tombs of Gods. Dead Gods were buried there. The so-called Forbidden Land of the Netherworld is actually a vast mausoleum of the Gods! "
