"Go to the Underworld? Let's go together. Maybe we can be of some help. "Cao Junfeng volunteered and stepped forward.
"Yeah, more people means more power. We want to go too." Yue Minghui also stepped forward.
Ye Kong knew that these friends were chivalrous people. He didn't want to be friends with them. However, this trip to the Underworld was too dangerous for them.
Ye Kong said, "Don't look down on the Underworld. It's a level higher than the mortal world, but a level lower than the immortal world. Even so, the species there are extremely powerful. The lowest level creature, Yaksha, has the cultivation of a Soul Formation cultivator. I've seen a Netherworld King before. His strength is comparable to an immortal emperor. It's better for me to go alone. "
Everyone thought that the Underworld was just a bunch of ghosts. They didn't expect it to be so powerful. The lowest level was a Soul Formation cultivator. They weren't a match for it at all.
Li Guanhua said, "In that case, we won't be a burden to you. We'll cast a spell in advance for Miss Liu Ying in Wan Family City. I guarantee that your soul can be stored inside … But I have to remind you that you must find Miss Liu's soul within three months. Otherwise, you don't have to look for her. Even if you find her, she'll be an idiot who has completely lost her memory. "
Ye Kong nodded. "Don't worry. I'll definitely come back in time."
Ye Kong bade farewell to his friends, threw out the rainbow cloud, and shot into the sky.
The best way to get somewhere quickly was to walk through the Firmament Underworld.
It would take a month to reach the Flying Ark, but Ye Kong only spent half an hour to return to the Primordial Chaos Sect.
Back at the Primordial Chaos Sect, Ye Kong strode into the Five Elements Immortal Mansion in the Pipa Beads. He went to the sixth floor of the immortal mansion and walked into the room with the transportation tunnel.
The supreme-grade spirit stone that Ye Kong had obtained previously was still shining brightly in the passage to the immortal world. It was obvious that this supreme-grade spirit stone wasn't useless after one use.
There were five transportation tunnels in this room. They led to Cang Nan, the Underworld, Earth, the immortal world, and the divine world. The one leading to Earth had been destroyed. The one leading to the divine world had yet to be built. As for the other three passageways, they could still be used.
Of course, Ye Kong was currently in Cang Nan, so he couldn't use it. In fact, the only passageways that were useful in this room were the two that led to the Immortal World and the Underworld.
Standing outside the passage to the Underworld, Ye Kong waved his hand and collected the top grade spirit stones above the passage to the Immortal World. However, he was not in a hurry to use them. Instead, he asked Yun Qian about the situation in the Underworld.
However, although the AI Yun Qian knew a lot of things, she knew nothing about the Underworld. He only knew that his destination was the Netherworld Region, which was controlled by the Netherworld Servants of the Netherworld. This was only the outermost region of the Netherworld. After an ordinary person died, their soul would be sucked into the Nether Realm, and they would first arrive at the Nether Realm.
Yun Qian recalled that when Five Elemental Cultivator went to the Netherworld to fish people up, he seemed to have gone to the abyss and hell. That was the center of the Netherworld. After listening to the small amount of information, Ye Kong nodded slightly and put the top-grade spirit stone into the array formation above the passage to the Underworld. Then, he walked into the pillar-like passage and closed the small door.
The Underworld, the place of eternal life for the dead, the eternal home of every soul. Souls would go back and forth. From here to the Mortal World, they would make a round, and when they died, they would return here. This was reincarnation!
In the Underworld, there were human souls, and also the souls of various animals. Some souls were weak, some were strong. It was a mix of different souls, and it was incomparably chaotic. Of course, no matter how strong a soul was, it would still be bullied in the Underworld. Yakshas, evil spirits, and all kinds of Underworld creatures were the masters here!
The main melody here was darkness. There was no sun or moon here. Of course, it was not pitch-black. There was light here, dim light.
At this time, under the dim light, a group of people walked out of the gloomy canyon.
The leader was a completely black, winged Yaksha with a single horn on his forehead. He shook the Soul Summoning Bell back and forth in his hand.
In the dark night, the ringing of the bell spread far and wide. As long as a soul was alone, it would be attracted.
Behind him were a few other Yakshas. These Yakshas all held long black corpse forks in their hands. The sharp forks emitted a cold blue light, and from time to time, a terrifying corpse electric current would flash and crackle.
And behind these Yakshas, there was a long line. A Ghost Leading Chain connected the whole line. On the slender black ghost chain, the souls of various humans and beasts were chained.
Some of these were whole souls, some were soul fragments. Some were human souls with their heads lowered in contemplation, some were sighing, and some were weeping softly. As for the souls of the animals, they were all letting out mournful cries. That sound was heart-wrenching.
"Big Brother, it's about time. Today, we have collected more than a thousand souls. We have completed the mission. Let's hurry back and report." A Yaksha holding a fork said to the Yaksha ringing the bell.
It was obvious that the bell ringing Yaksha was the leader of these Yakshas. His red eyes swept around and said, "Today, many people died, and there are also many souls. Let's collect more. When we can't complete the mission, Captain can also put in a good word for us in front of this Lord Spirit Envoy."
Another Yaksha said unhappily, "That bastard Captain, he doesn't have such good intentions. Every time we collect more souls, he will take it for himself. Otherwise, how can his strength improve so quickly? He is about to become a Yaksha spirit, and we are nothing. "
"Yes, yes, we have worked hard, but we are being exploited by him. How hateful!"
"Also, recently, there has been a disturbance of soul beasts here. I heard that a few teams of low level Yakshas have been annihilated!"
Since no one was willing to continue, the Yaksha ringing the bell could only say, "Alright then, we will go back after patrolling the front."
In a dark corner in front, Ye Kong wore a purple gold alms bowl and looked around at this gloomy world. He saw that this place was very desolate. There were black hills everywhere. There were no flowers or trees, and all he could see was dark gray mud.
And further away, there was a black bird-like thing circling. The black bird was very huge, with blood red eyes and a body like a pterosaur.
In the dark sky, there were slender blue thunderbolts swimming back and forth. Then, suddenly, there would be a thunderbolt breaking through the space, and from inside, things that looked like rags would fall one after another. When those things hit the ground, you would see that they were all souls.
These souls came from various mortal realms and demon realms. There were three thousand mortal realms, and even more than three thousand, but there was only one Underworld, so the souls that were collected here could be said to be endless.
On the hills, there were teams of Yakshas, holding soul-summoning bells and soul tridents, catching those souls and stringing them in a row.
Every team of Yakshas had their own fixed territory. They only caught souls in their own territory, and would never cross the boundary. As for those souls that escaped, they did not chase after them, because those souls would soon be swallowed by the evil birds in the sky.
To every soul, this was an extremely terrifying place.
