Yama Palace
"Yama? Could the part that disappeared be the 'palace'? Yama Palace? "
Ning Qi's eyes moved slightly, revealing a trace of contemplation. The hall in front of him was pitch-black. Standing outside and looking in, he couldn't even see ten feet in front of him clearly.
Before long, he heard footsteps behind him. Ning Qi didn't even need to turn around to know who it was.
"Yama?"
When Meng Xituo and Ming Di saw these two words, their hearts trembled as they looked at each other in disbelief.
"Do you recognize this place?"
Ning Qi slowly turned around and asked calmly.
This time, Ming Di was one step ahead and cupped his hands. "Senior, I've seen the words' Yama 'in an ancient text!"
"Tell me about it."
Ning Qi smiled.
"Yes."
Ming Di nodded and glanced at Meng Xi Tuofan. Then, he carefully recounted everything he knew about Yama, word by word.
"In that ancient text, it was recorded that there was an extremely powerful force in the Ninth Heaven that could enforce the law on behalf of the Heavenly Dao. Trillions of underworld beings were born from it. At that time, fifty percent of the souls were sent out by the underworld cultivators to retrieve them. Senior, you must have seen that statue, right? Divine General Soul Reaper was also a member of this force! "
Ming Di's words caused Lu Zhong and Guihai to gasp in disbelief. Enforce the law on behalf of the Heavenly Dao? They could send underworld cultivators out to retrieve souls? There was actually such a force in the Underworld? From the moment they were born, the common sense they received was that the cultivators of the Netherworld needed to be under the control of the Heavenly Dao to search for souls in various places. This was irreversible. If they wanted to resist, they had to kill the Heavenly Dao, but such a thing was impossible!
Now that Ming Di said that there was such a force that could enforce the law on behalf of the Heavenly Dao, the cultivation of the leader of this force must be earth-shattering!
"This force is called Yama Palace!"
Ming Di said in a low voice.
"That's all?"
Ning Qi's brows furrowed slightly. Emperor Hades' information was very limited, but Ning Qi had a rough idea of what was going on. This place might be related to the legend on Earth, but there were still some discrepancies.
"Senior, there are only a few records in the ancient text …"
Ming Di whispered.
"What about you?"
Ning Qi looked at Meng Xi Tuofan.
Meng Xituo laughed dryly. "My knowledge is more or less the same as his."
Ning Qi nodded lightly and turned to look at the great hall in front of him. After a few moments of silence, Ning Qi lifted his foot and walked into the great hall.
"Senior …"
When Wuyang Qifeng saw this, he was slightly shocked. He subconsciously looked at the creepy hall, then gritted his teeth and followed in.
"Are we going in or not? If this really is the legendary place, then it's too dangerous. "
Meng Xituo turned to Ming Di.
Ming Di was also very hesitant, not daring to make a move. Even the two of them were hesitant, let alone the other cultivators. After hearing Ming Di's description of Yama Palace, their reverence for this place increased. Even the youngest cultivator present had lived for tens of thousands of years, but they had never heard of Yama Palace. They couldn't believe that this place could replace the Heavenly Dao to enforce the law. If what Ming Di said was true and this was indeed Yama Palace, then it must be extremely dangerous inside. One wrong move and one's soul would be destroyed!
"Lord Ming Di, Sect Master Meng Xi, since I'm already here, I'd like to go in and take a look. What do you think?"
Lu Zhong and Guihai suddenly cupped their hands.
Swish, swish, swish. Countless gazes fell on them, some filled with admiration, some astonishment. How much courage did one need to enter despite knowing how dangerous this place was?
"You want to go in?"
Meng Xituo frowned slightly, then exchanged a glance with Ming Di. The two of them immediately made a decision.
"Then let's go together. But the rest of you should wait here. If too many people enter, we might trigger some sort of formation. That wouldn't be good."
Meng Xituo glanced at the surrounding cultivators indifferently. Those cultivators who were swept by his gaze lowered their heads one after another.
Seeing Ming Di, Meng Xituo, and Lu Zhong and Guihai enter the palace, the Sea Goddess Hall's master, the Dark Spirit Sect's master, and the other Netherpassage experts felt an itch in their hearts. On one hand, they were afraid of the palace's dangers, but on the other hand, they were unwilling to give up. In the end, they clenched their teeth and decided to take a gamble. If they could obtain even the slightest benefit from this place, it would be enough for them to benefit for the rest of their lives!
Sometimes, cultivators were the same as merchants. As long as the profit was great enough to trigger the greed in people's hearts, they would choose to take a gamble!
Sometimes, the cultivation base and status of supreme existences were won by taking risks again and again!
… …
When Ning Qi entered the palace, he suddenly felt an indescribable sense of familiarity. Although it was pitch black, Ning Qi subconsciously walked up to a row of divine statues. These divine statues all had sinister expressions. Some had black snakes coiled around their bodies, some had ox-heads and horse-faces, some held judge brushes, and some held mourning sticks!
"Judges, ox-heads and horse-faces, Black and White Impermanences?"
Ning Qi recognized these divine statues. He wasn't sure if his guess was correct, but these divine statues were eighty to ninety percent identical to the legends in his memories. However, there were a few other divine statues that he didn't recognize. When Ning Qi's gaze landed on the divine statue with the black snake coiled around its body, he was startled. He didn't recognize the divine statue, but he felt that the black snake was very familiar. It looked extremely similar to the third prince. This was … an Underworld Snake!
"As expected, Ming San came from the Netherworld. For him to appear here, his ancestor must not have been simple."
Ning Qi released the Third Ming Prince from the Creation Field with a slight thought.
"Where is this?"
The third prince was startled. This was the first time he had come to such a dark place. Back then, the Ink Sea was considered dark, right? But he was in the depths of the Ink Sea, and his vision could reach tens of thousands of miles! Here, he could only see Ning Qi and the statues in front of him. Everywhere else was dark and he couldn't see anything at all!
"Look."
Ning Qi said calmly.
The third prince was startled. He followed Ning Qi's gaze and stood rooted to the ground as if he had been petrified.
"This, this …"
"Is that your ancestor?"
Ning Qi said calmly.
"Should be? Where is this place? Who is this divine statue? How could my ancestor be ordered around by anyone … "
The third prince was unwilling to believe it.
"What do you think is the relationship between us?"
The corner of Ning Qi's lips curled up.
The third prince was startled. He looked a little dejected.
"There's no need for that. This divine statue must have been an earth-shattering existence in the past. You should feel honored that your ancestor was its mount."
Ning Qi said with a smile.
The third prince was even more confused. Where was this place?
