Hell's resources were scarce. It could be said that apart from the fact that the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power was stronger than Earth's, Hell's resources were no better than Earth's.
Earth was the most common Lower Realm. Whether it was the Immortal Realm or the Devil Realm, Earth was just one of their Lower Realms. There were at least 3,000 Lower Realms like Earth.
As a result, Hell's resources were even more scarce. Many people could only rely on the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power to cultivate.
At least Earth didn't have Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power, so it was difficult to cultivate successfully. However, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power here was very difficult to absorb. It needed to be filtered layer by layer before it could be used for oneself. Out of ten portions of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power, it was already good enough to absorb one portion into the body. It was far inferior to the Devil Realm and Heaven.
Not to mention compared to the best Primitive Land.
In this way, the cultivators here wanted to escape. Unfortunately, the people of the other realms did not accept the cultivators of the Infernal Realm. No matter where they went, they would be hunted down and killed. In the end, they could only go to some of the better lower realms.
The 3,000 Lower Realms weren't all lacking in Spiritual Power like Earth. Some of the better Lower Realms had better environments than Hell. No wonder they wanted to leave. The same was true for the Hell Demon God that Solomon had invited. At that time, Earth hadn't reached the end of the Dharma Era. It was still abundant in Spiritual Power and the environment was much better than Hell.
After Earth's Spiritual Power disappeared, the teleportation array's teleportation ability disappeared.
"In other words, Solomon's teleportation array isn't broken. It's just that Earth's environment has become worse, so it can't teleport?"
Gu Zheng interrupted. Brook nodded gently. "That's right. Unfortunately, the people of the Dark Association don't know. I tried to persuade them, but no one listened. They've been trying to repair the array and summon the Hell Demon God!"
The Demon Gods of Hell, also known as the Demon Race or the Demon God Race, were the largest race in Hell. They were also the strongest race. They had all kinds of strange appearances, and some of them could maintain a human form. No matter what they looked like, as long as their blood was green, they were Demon Gods.
The color of the Demon God's blood was one of their major characteristics.
Gu Zheng also understood Brook's words. It wasn't that they couldn't summon Demon Gods, but Earth couldn't summon Demon Gods here. They also had cultivation resources. Although they weren't much, it was still comparable to Earth. The Earth's environment was worse than Hell's, so why would these Demon Gods go to Earth and work for them?
Therefore, they couldn't summon the Demon God at all, and the magic array was wasted.
Brook knew about this, so he decided to destroy the magic array when he returned to Hell. However, he hadn't expected to activate a one-way teleportation. Not only had he been teleported to Hell, but even Gu Zheng had been unlucky enough to be dragged to Hell.
"Let's find a place to settle down and ask around!"
Brook added. Although he had a certain understanding of Hell, he wasn't familiar with it. It was necessary for him to ask around. Gu Zheng didn't refuse. There was no other way at the moment.
There were also mortals in Hell, and at the same time, there were also mortal cities. However, the practitioners in Hell weren't like those on Earth, where they existed in the dark. The practitioners and mortals here were together.
The Demon God Clan was the number one clan in Hell. At the same time, they were the rulers of Hell.
Different from Earth, the Demon God Clan was ruled by families. Each family occupied a territory, and several territories formed a kingdom. The head of the most powerful family was the king. According to Brook, there were thousands of kingdoms in Hell, which were scattered all over Hell.
Every kingdom had hundreds of families, while the big ones had tens of thousands of families. The number of experts in each family was different. However, the smaller families also had several existences equivalent to Immortal Cultivators. Ordinary families had a dozen or dozens of Immortal Cultivators, while the bigger families had hundreds or even thousands of existences equivalent to Immortal Cultivators.
The families with thousands of Immortal Cultivators were all big families. Many of them were the king's families. Basically, such families had Jin Xian. Some super families even had existences at the level of Daluo Jinxian.
As for the Sage-to-be Realm, there were also some in Hell. However, there weren't many of them. Usually, they lived in seclusion and were rarely seen.
Gu Zheng and the others were currently in the territory of the Mair Family. The Mair Family was a small family with a total of nine Immortal Cultivators. Therefore, their territory wasn't large. It was only equivalent to an ordinary province in Huaxia. Such small families were the most common in Hell.
Gu Zheng and Brook lived in a small mortal town. There were only a few thousand people in the town. It was a bit like Europe in the Middle Ages. However, there were all kinds of people in the castle, including black people, white people, and yellow people like Gu Zheng. There were also a few strange races.
"There are too few people here. Let's change to another place!"
Three days later, Brook proposed to change to another place. During these three days, Gu Zheng had a certain understanding of Hell.
Most of the day in Hell was dark. There was only about two hours of light. However, it wasn't the light of the sun. It was similar to the sunset on Earth. It was just a bit brighter.
During these two hours, the spiritual power was the most abundant. Most cultivators cultivated during these two hours without wasting any time.
A day here was about the same as a day on Earth. There were also twenty-four hours. The only difference was the time of day and night.
After three days of asking around, they found out that there was a large city three thousand miles away from here. There were over a million people there, and that city belonged to the Cassiel Clan. The Cassiel Clan was a slightly larger clan, and they had over a hundred cultivators. They were also the largest clan within ten thousand miles of here.
Hell was very big. With Gu Zheng's speed, it would take him a long time to go around Hell. However, compared to the Untainted Land, this place was too small. The Untainted Land was the real big place.
Gu Zheng and Brook arrived three thousand miles away in an hour. From afar, they saw a big city in the sky. A city with millions of people was indeed different from a city with only a few thousand people. Whether it was the scale or the momentum, it was much bigger.
"Let's go down!"
Brook said. He had already asked around. This place belonged to the Cassiel Family. Although the Cassiel Family was not weak, they only had one expert who was on the same level as him. In such a family's territory, at least they didn't have to worry about their safety.
At the same time, this time he also saw Gu Zheng's speed. If something really happened, even if the two of them couldn't beat the people here, they could at least run away. Therefore, the two of them entered the big city with ease.
Hell's cities were different from the modern world. The buildings here were very strange. There were western buildings on Earth, Chinese buildings that Gu Zheng was familiar with, and many buildings that Gu Zheng had never seen before.
The technology in Hell's cities was very low. Perhaps it was related to the development of cultivators here. There were many cultivators in the city. In the previous small city, although there were only a few thousand people, hundreds of them were cultivators. However, there was only one person who had reached the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
That person was also the local city lord.
In Hell, cultivators were directly involved in the management. In Hell, the highest status was the Demon God. The Demon God ruled the entire Hell. However, those who had not reached the Immortal Cultivation Realm could not be called Demon God. Only those who had a certain level of strength could have the title of Demon God.
The big city that Gu Zheng and Brook arrived at had a few thousand cultivators and more than ten Demon Gods ruling it. However, the highest level was only equivalent to the Void Return Realm. There were no experts on the level of Jin Xian.
In the entire Cassiel Family, there was only one Jin Xian. This Jin Xian was overseeing their biggest city, Cassiel City. It was a big city with a population of more than five million. The city that Gu Zheng and Brook had arrived at this time was only a secondary city in the Cassiel Family's territory. It wasn't the main city.
Cassiel Family had as many as three secondary cities like this. This Lyle City was only one of them.
Lyle was once a great ancestor of the Cassiel Family. Although he was no longer around, he had made great contributions to the family. Therefore, the city was named after him.
The sky gradually brightened. At daybreak, Gu Zheng, Brook, and the housekeeper entered the city.
The housekeeper's name was Belluconi. He was already fifty years old. His family had been loyal to Brook for generations. Therefore, Brook planned to bring him to the Demon Realm and let him cultivate there.
In fact, Brook was not confident that a fifty-year-old housekeeper could become a cultivator. However, with Brook around, he could at least extend his lifespan. Not to mention other things, there was no problem for him to live to over a hundred years old in the Demon Realm. This was also a reward for their loyalty.
"Would the three of you like to eat or stay?"
The three of them arrived in front of an inn. The waiter of the inn immediately walked out. Hell was the same as the Untainted Land. There were many races. The human race also existed here. Moreover, there were many of them.
Although the Demon God Clan was the ruler, there were not many of them because of their bloodline. The Demon God Clan dominated the entire Hell. The limited resources were taken by them. It was even more difficult for the cultivators of other races to cultivate.
As for the cultivators of other races, once they succeeded in their cultivation, they would be roped in by the Demon God Clan. They would be taken away through marriage, thus consolidating the Demon God Clan's rule in Hell.
Therefore, although there were many humans in Hell, most of them were mortals. There were not many who had succeeded in their cultivation.
Ninety percent of the people in this small inn were humans. The waiter who came out was also a human. He greeted the three of them.
"Stay!"
Brook said. The waiter quickly took them in. There was a universal currency in Hell. Brook had already gotten some when he was in the last city. He did not have to worry about not having enough money to spend in Hell.
"Little Friend Ouyang, go and eat something!"
After settling down in the best room, Brook went to call Gu Zheng. Although cultivators could abstain from eating, all cultivators would eat. It wasn't just to satisfy their desire for good food, but also because eating had already become a habit.
This was the same everywhere, including the Immortal World. Even Saints would eat on a daily basis.
Gokusen was the most typical example. He was not only a foodie, but also a foodie with the best cooking skills.
"Okay!"
Gu Zheng nodded. They had been busy asking around in the small town and had not tasted the food there. Now that they were in a big city, they could not find useful information in a short time. It was better to try the local delicacies.
This was Hell. Although the environment was very bad, it was better than Earth. After all, it was one of the Nine Realms. He wondered how the food here tasted.
"Bring out some of your best dishes!"
The three of them sat down in the lobby. Brook directly ordered the waiter. The waiter nodded and immediately ran to order for them.
Not long after, the waiter ran out with a tray and brought them four exquisite dishes.
"The taste is average. It's not as good as the Demon World's!"
Brook took a bite and sighed slightly. Hell was short of resources, not only cultivation resources, but also living resources for ordinary people. The food here was really ordinary.
To Brook, these so-called specialty dishes were not even as good as the ones on Earth.
Gu Zheng also took a bite and then frowned.
The ingredients were not bad. The ingredients of these side dishes were actually second-grade, which was very good.
If the cooking skills were better, the food made with second-grade ingredients would definitely be better than those made by ordinary chefs on Earth. Unfortunately, the chefs here were not good. Moreover, the seasonings were very strange and had an inexplicable taste.
Overall, the taste of the dishes was very ordinary. The wrong cooking method even affected the taste of the ingredients. These dishes were not even as good as the food made with low-grade ingredients on Earth. In other words, the food made by ordinary food stalls on Earth was not inferior to them, or even better.
This made Gu Zheng feel a little regretful. Such good ingredients were ruined in this way.
"Forget it, I'm not eating. You guys eat!"
Brook suddenly stood up. No matter what, he was still a Jin Xian. In fact, his status in the Devil Realm was not bad. Although he was not a Jin Xian born and raised in the Devil Realm, when he reached the level of a Jin Xian, there were many forces in the Devil Realm who wanted to recruit him. He joined a big force and lived a good life.
He had always lived like a prince, so he naturally ate well. He was not used to eating ordinary food like hell, and he instantly lost his appetite.
"I'm not eating either!"
Gu Zheng also put down his chopsticks. The food he ate was more tricky. He ate things that tasted better. Although the ingredients here were not enough to make him unable to eat, the cooking skills were so bad that it seriously affected the taste.
It was better not to eat such things.
"I'm not eating either!"
Butler Berlusconi also hurriedly stood up. Brook had stopped eating, so there was no need for him to continue eating. He hurriedly ran to pay and the three of them went back together.
The money was with him. He was also the one who usually did the chores.
"Mr. Brook, why don't you come to my place and try my cooking!"
Gu Zheng's room was first. Standing at the door, Gu Zheng invited Brook. He had not eaten much in the past few days in Hell. He was indeed a little hungry.
Since the food here was not good, he might as well cook it himself. Anyway, he had a lot of ingredients in the chaotic space. He could not finish them all. Even if the three of them worked together, they could not finish it.
