After chatting with Wan Gang and Shi Jinming for a while in the station, Yi Tian told the two of them about his plan in detail. Shi Jinming was obviously surprised by this, but Wan Gang thought that Yi Tian had handled it properly this time. At the very least, he could only use his wits to deal with the two lower realm True Immortals.
If even Yi Tian had to retreat when facing them, then Body Integration cultivators like them could only flee when facing the clones of true immortals from the upper and lower realms. Fortunately, these two seemed to be in a hostile relationship. At present, this point seemed to be more advantageous for everyone.
The deeper the conflict between these lower realm True Immortals, the more advantageous it would be for everyone. Moreover, Yi Tian also mentioned that if a True Immortal's clone died in the fragment of the Immortal Realm, his original body would not be able to detect it. This was the most important thing in this trip to the fragment of the Immortal Realm.
After a while, the three of them discussed and quietly flew out of the Barbarian Horn Clan's station. As Unification Stage cultivators, they could easily hide from those low-level cultivators. Wan Gang left a message to instruct his clan members, then took the lead and flew straight to the two-realm passage with the two of them.
Yi Tian had been maintaining the appearance of a demonic cultivator. After traveling in the Infernal Court for a while, he found that the demonic cultivator's appearance was more suitable. Although the cultivation method that he could use was slightly limited, the spiritual power attribute around him did not hinder him at all.
After arriving near the passage, he looked up in the air nearby and saw several gray underworld spiritual power overflowing from it. Then, it was assimilated by the spiritual power of this world again. This passage was only 100 feet wide, and the center was filled with gray underworld spiritual power. It constantly rotated in one direction, forming a spiral vortex.
Wan Gang pointed and said, "That is the entrance to the Nether Realm. This is also one of the few direct passages in the Upper Spiritual Nine Realms."
"Oh, why do you say that, Fellow Daoist Wan?" Yi Tian asked casually after sizing her up.
"The Netherworld Realm's inter-realm passageways to the other realms were sealed when the Netherworld Empire was destroyed tens of thousands of years ago," Wan Gang explained. "Many of them were sealed in both directions. That is, other than the Netherworld Realm, the other end has also been blocked."
"So that's how it is. No wonder I rarely found the existence of the Realm Gate leading to the Nether Realm after traveling through the other six realms." Yi Tian thought for a while before replying, "Then, other than this place, where else is the Nether Realm connected to?"
"The Ghost Realm," Shi Jinming interrupted: "Unfortunately, the spirit energy cultivated in the Ghost Realm is different from the other realms, so even if there is a passage, there isn't much communication between the two sides"
"Alright, let's go. Otherwise, it won't be a good thing if we meet Yan Qiu and the others," Wan Gang interrupted Shi Jinming. After saying that, he gestured with his hand and took the lead to fly toward the entrance of the passage.
Shi Jinming followed closely behind. The two of them released a flickering Spirit Light Shield to protect their bodies. Then, they fell into the gray netherworld Spirit Qi vortex in the passage.
Yi Tian saw it clearly, then he also cast the escape technique. After protecting himself with a protective shield, his body followed behind the two like an arrow leaving the bow. "Poof", they disappeared into the spirit energy vortex of the inter-realm passageway.
After coming inside, they found that the passage here was more troublesome than the passage to the Realm Gate. The chaotic spirit energy wind around them was stirred up. Mixed with the Netherworld spirit energy of the Nether Realm, it hit the protective shield and made a "pa pa pa" sound.
Fortunately, this passage didn't seem to be long. After flying for half an hour, the three of them saw the light spot of the exit in the distance.
At this time, Wan Gang suddenly sped up and transmitted his voice, "The wind near the exit is more violent, let's rush over in one go."
After saying that, he didn't waste time, and the spirit energy output increased by more than 30% under the glow of spirit light.
Shi Jinming followed suit. He was probably a frequent visitor, so he was naturally familiar with the situation in the passageway.
As for Yi Tian, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, then he slightly increased his speed and caught up with the two. After flying in the inter-realm passageway for a hundred breaths, the three of them passed through the exit one after another and came to the outside world.
After stabilizing his body in the air, Yi Tian only felt a cold Netherworld spirit energy surging toward him. After a slight pause, he quickly adjusted his breath and began to absorb this spirit energy to nourish himself. Turning around, Wan Gang and Shi Jinming's expressions didn't change at this time, but they both took out elixirs to recover their spirit energy first.
When they saw Yi Tian's appearance, they also showed a surprised look on their faces. Shi Jinming smiled and said, "I didn't expect your strength to be far better than us. After coming to this realm, you can adapt so quickly."
Knowing what he was referring to, Yi Tian smiled faintly and replied, "The cultivation method I cultivate is specially designed to digest this kind of Netherworld spirit energy for my own use. It's just not as efficient as in the Infernal Court."
Wan Gang also showed an envious look and said, "Brother Yi's strength is really outstanding. Every time Shi Jinming and I come to this realm, we have to adapt first. Otherwise, this Netherworld spirit energy will contradict with the original spirit energy after entering the body, and it will also cause some spirit energy disorder."
"Spirit energy disorder." Yi Tian frowned slightly when he heard this, then he slowly relaxed and said, "So, the clones of the two lower realm Perfected Immortals will also have corresponding problems after coming here right?"
"It should be similar to our situation, but their strength is extraordinary, so they must have other means to deal with it. In general, they are still much stronger than us," Wan Gang replied.
"I can sense that this realm is filled with the power of the Netherworld. Ordinary moves will be limited by the environmental factors, and the power will be greatly reduced," Yi Tian continued, "And as far as I know, the higher the level of the magics, the more restricted it will be in this environment where spirit energy contradicts."
"I hope so." Wan Gang nodded in agreement, "I can also guess what Brother Yi is thinking, but this is a matter for later. Let's talk about it after we finish exploring the Celestial Realm fragment."
Yi Tian nodded and replied, "Indeed. Now, let's go visit the Netherworld Guards first. I think Wan Zhongliu must have a lot to say to me."
Wan Gang took out a map jade slip that he had prepared long ago and sent it over, "The forces of the Netherworld Guards are now mainly distributed in the 'Netherworld Valley', 'Helplessness County', and 'Black Water County'."
"Oh, why would the Netherworld Guards spread their forces so widely?" Yi Tian asked.
"The Netherworld Guards' Grand Elder, Yan Wenjing, lives in the 'Netherworld Valley'. My family's ancestor, Wan Zhongliu, presides over the overall situation in the 'Helplessness County'. The current people of the Netherworld Dynasty are all there," Wan Gang explained.
"Why do the current people of the Netherworld Dynasty live in the 'Helplessness County'? I wonder where the Netherworld Guards are stationed in the 'Black Water County'?" Yi Tian asked in confusion.
"Brother Yi, you don't know about this. The 'Black Water County' is the main trading area of the Netherworld Guards. However, there are many people here, and there might be many ferocious spies mixed in. Because of this, the Netherworld Guards set this place as an area for low-level cultivators to communicate, "Wan Gang said," After all, the Netherworld Guards are a big force in the Netherworld. Just like the sects in the Spiritual Realm, they need to have a fixed exchange of trade materials to support the people of the dynasty. "
"It seems that the current Netherworld Dynasty is really poor. They can only rely on the trade of the 'Black Water County' to maintain their daily operations," Yi Tian said in disdain.
Shi Jinming, who was by the side, opened his mouth and said, "Brother Yi, you don't know about this. These two places sound like counties, but the area they occupy is not inferior to any of the big sects in the Spiritual Realm."
"I see," Yi Tian replied thoughtfully.
"Let's go. Hurry up. There's quite a distance from here to the 'Helplessness County'. It'll take us a few days to fly there," Wan Gang said and turned around. After choosing the direction, he was ready to leave.
"There's no hurry. The consumption of the three of us flying like this is not small. It's better to use a flying vehicle," Yi Tian said and took out a small assault boat in his hand. Then, he waved his hand and the spiritual weapon in his hand turned into a spiritual light and flew out.
With a 'swoosh', a 200 feet long and 50 feet wide assault boat appeared in front of the three of them. After the surrounding light flashed, the three of them entered the cabin one by one. Then, they agreed that everyone would take turns to pilot the boat so that they could save unnecessary spiritual power consumption.
After around 10 breaths of time, spiritual light flashed around the entire boat, and a white barrier of light appeared around the boat, following which it abruptly sped away into the distance at a speed that was no slower than that of a mid-Body Integration cultivator's movement technique.
In the cabin, Shi Jinming drove first, then Yi Tian and Wan Gang sat down at the round table in the living room in the middle of the main cabin. After settling down a little, Yi Tian asked, "Where are we going now?"
"My ancestor has already received my message. He should be waiting in the imperial city in the 'Helplessness County' now," Wan Gang said.
"The Yellow Spring Guards made such a big movement, building the imperial palace and opening up a foreign trade area. It's unexpected that they were not eliminated by the Netherworld Emperor Ning Kuang," Yi Tian joked.
"In fact, it's the Great Elder of the Yellow Spring Guards, Yan Wenjing, who came forward to fight for a great living space for the people below," Wan Gang said, "It's just that his lifespan is not endless. There will be a day when it will be exhausted."
"I've also heard a little about this, but Yan Wenjing's relationship with Ning Kuang is really close. He's also one of the scattered souls of the former Netherworld Emperor," Yi Tian sighed.
"I can also guess what Brother Yi is worried about," Wan Gang said with a serious expression, "Speaking of which, I've also seen that big shot. If it weren't for him keeping Ning Kuang in check, I'm afraid the current situation in the Netherworld Realm wouldn't be so peaceful now."
"But now I'm very interested in the original body of Ning Kuang," Yi Tian changed the topic and said, "I wonder if Fellow Wan has any opinion on this?"
When Wan Gang heard this, a bitter smile appeared on his face. He shook his head and said, "I've only heard about the specific situation from hearsay, but I've never seen Ning Kuang in person. I'm afraid I can only ask my ancestor."
Although Yi Tian had this guess a long time ago, he felt helpless when Wan Gang confirmed it. Then he asked, "Then Fellow Wan, have you come into contact with the Netherworld Boy? Is there anything special about him?"
"Brother Yi, you've asked the right person," Wan Gang thought for a while and replied, "In fact, I've only met the Netherworld Boy a few times, but I really found something strange about him."
"Oh, what did you find?" Yi Tian asked hurriedly with a happy face.
"It's about the soul," Wan Gang said, "At first, I only know that the Netherworld Boy is the avatar of the Netherworld Great Emperor, and it's a different avatar from the Azure Sky Enchantress."
"I've already explained the Azure Sky Enchantress to you before, but please tell me more about the Netherworld Boy in detail," Yi Tian asked hurriedly.
"An innate Spirit Seed," Wan Gang blurted out this term, then said with a serious expression: "I believe that the Netherworld Child is a type of clone that Ning Kuang's main body created after refining the innate Spirit Seed and infusing it with his divine sense"
"Why do you say so? Could it be that you've noticed some special attributes in him?" Yi Tian asked, "If it's an avatar refined by infusing the innate spiritual seed with the innate spiritual seed, it should have the original spiritual seed's attributes. It's just that I didn't notice anything strange when I saw it from afar last time."
"I can only say that it's a guess," Wan Gang said, "The main thing is that I noticed that the Netherworld Boy was obviously suppressed by the spiritual power of the plane after entering the Infernal Court. It's different from ordinary people. Although I've only seen him fight once in the Infernal Court, his strength is stronger in the Netherworld."
"The restriction of the environment on the 'innate spiritual seed'," Yi Tian thought for a while and blurted out, "It's just that I don't know what kind of 'innate spiritual seed' the Netherworld Boy's original body is. If I know the exact information, it'll be much more convenient to deal with him in the future."
"You'd better ask my ancestor for confirmation. I believe he'll be able to tell with his eyesight," Wan Gang said, "Also, you said that the Azure Sky Enchantress wants to get rid of Ning Kuang's control. This time, once everyone starts to fight, it'll be a situation where one of us dies. Brother Yi, you've eliminated four of Ning Kuang's avatars in succession, but you're still unable to find his original body. This has left behind endless hidden dangers. "
Knowing the concerns in Wan Gang's heart, Yi Tian said seriously, "From the analysis of the information given by the Azure Sky Enchantress, what she said is at least 70% credible. I now need Brother Wan to send someone to the Netherworld Imperial City to investigate and see if it's consistent with what the Azure Sky Enchantress said. "
"This is easy," Wan Gang took out a communication jade talisman, wrote the talisman on it, activated it and sent it out. Then, he said, "There are also many spies of my clan in the Netherworld Imperial City. I'll ask them to investigate the reason for this matter. If it's really like what the Azure Sky Enchantress said, how should we deal with this matter?"
"Of course it's a quick battle. Now is not the best time to face Ning Kuang directly. It'll be fine after we eliminate the Netherworld Boy and return to this world," Yi Tian replied with a smile.
"How so?" Wan Gang asked.
"There must be an extremely serious problem with Ning Kuang's original body. That's why he's tolerating me again and again," Yi Tian explained, "In fact, I'm also constantly testing his bottom line. After eliminating the Netherworld Boy, plus the betrayal of the Azure Sky Enchantress, Ning Kuang's original body has no one else he can use. How can I miss such a good opportunity to kill him while he's down? "
