Volume 1 The Fifth Chapter is slim and dim
It was dark, and sporadic flames floated in the distance, most of them drifting in one direction, a few of them drifting around.
Every bit of flame is a soul.
Among these souls, Wu Xie is the most special existence. He was not a flame, but a real figure, but his figure was still a little blurry, a little transparent, and it had not yet been able to condense into a physical entity.
The realm of the netherworld can be subdivided into several small levels, the first is "knowing the secluded" - being able to feel the existence of the netherworld, which is something that can only be done after understanding life and death, and it is also the beginning of the realm of the netherworld.
"Contemplating the Netherworld" is the second step of the netherworld, and if you can probe the spiritual tentacles into the Netherworld realm, and even see the scene of the Netherworld, after completing this step, subsequent cultivation will be possible.
"Entering the underworld" and "exiting the underworld" are two sides of the same coin, referring to the soul entering and exiting the netherworld. This is the biggest danger in the realm of the netherworld, I don't know how many scattered cultivators in the path of the underworld rushed into the netherworld realm without preparation, only to find that there was no way out of the realm for a while, and the pure yang qi carried by the soul was quickly exhausted, and as a result, the body of the yang world froze to death, and the soul turned into a ghost in the underworld, and could no longer leave.
At the beginning, Wu Xie entered the underworld in the Dragon Palace, and it was with the help of the Dragon Ancestor's soul and majesty that he was able to leave easily. If he didn't have this opportunity and couldn't leave the underworld, he could only activate a special spell on his robe to pull his soul out of the underworld.
This spell is on the robes of every Qingyang Guan disciple, and it is specially designed for each person. Its design is very simple, it is to help disciples "get out of the underworld" without affecting their own souls. However, its production was quite laborious, and it could not be completed by non-Ning Yuan monks.
The loose cultivators have to take risks when they enter and exit the underworld, but Wu Xie has no danger, and the benefits of the big sect can be seen from this.
After being able to enter and exit the Netherworld, the next step is to absorb the Yin Qi and condense the soul. There is no risk in this step, but if you can't control the speed of absorbing yin qi well, so that the yin qi in the soul is too strong, and in turn suppresses the yang qi in the body, it is not the right path of the road of immortality.
When the condensation of the soul is completed, all that remains is to stir the yin energy in the soul and the yang energy in the body, and the yin and yang are combined in order to give birth to the gang qi...... Theoretically, anyone can do it, and in fact most people can do it, as long as they don't die of old age before they succeed.
Wu Jie's cultivation of the Fire Department Fa is worthy of being a supreme magic method that directly points to the ascension, it has condensed a firepower in the soul in advance before passing through the darkness, this firepower can make him last longer in the stage of entering the underworld, plus it can absorb the immortal fire, it is almost impossible to enter the underworld without coming out under normal circumstances. At the same time, because the soul can absorb the dark fire, the speed of condensation is much faster than that of ordinary people.
The only problem is ...... In order for the Fire Department Fa-rectification Fa to be cultivated, it requires an extremely large amount of True Qi, and if the two types of Yin and Yang flames do not accumulate to a certain extent, it is impossible to give birth to Gang Qi in any case.
Wu Xie secretly estimated that with his current entry, he would definitely not be able to accumulate enough Immortal Fire for more than ten years.
In other words, he will definitely participate in the Three Teachings Formation after three years in the realm of entering the Dao.
Through Jasmine's torture of Bian Liequan, he already had a general idea of the current situation of the Demon Sect, but the disciples of the Demon Sect have always been good at hiding their strength, like poisonous snakes lurking in the grass, and they will not show their fangs when they bite people. Others don't say it, just this Bian Liequan, if it weren't for him inadvertently breaking the Dafa of the Heart Demon, and the White Night Thousand Soul Banner could not be completed, with only Wu Xie alone, most of them really couldn't beat him!
…… According to Bian Liequan's opinion, as long as he is in good condition, even if the four disciples of Qingyang Guan besiege him, he will at least drag one or two of them to the end!
Although it is said that Bian Liequan, who is in good condition, is likely to be the first person in the realm of the contemporary Demon Sect to enter the Dao realm, but when the three teachings perform the law, it is one-on-one!
Therefore, Wu Xie felt a sense of urgency even more, so he entered the underworld in advance to retreat without waiting for the soul condensation to be completed.
Searching for flowers, refining elixirs, and visiting uncles and ancestors are all just handy. The key to his application for a spirit rune to live in the Netherworld for a long time is for two things: first, to condense his soul as soon as possible; Second, conduct simulation training.
The former is an inevitable thing, the stronger the soul is condensed, the better the control over the spell, and the higher the natural combat power. The latter is his little Jiujiu - only in the underworld can he use the Heavenly Book World Realm without scruples.
The underworld is very special, this is the world realm of the soul, no matter how profound the characters are, as long as they have not cultivated to the immortal yin god, they can't hide their breath here, even if they are people who are about to ascend to the ninth turn of the Dan!
In other words, if he is here, as long as he does a good job of warning, he will not have to worry about his secret being discovered.
Some of Wu Jie's secrets are well known, such as Du Ruo; Some are invisible, such as Du Xin, such as the souls of Wei Shu and Bian Liequan; Some of them must never be revealed, such as his origins, such as the existence of Jasmine.
When he was cultivating, he always had to be careful again, lest he be discovered of the existence of the Heavenly Book World Realm—a magic weapon that could collect souls, it didn't look like a decent thing, right?
But even so, he suspected that some elders of the sect had realized something, but he didn't say anything about it.
Just because they didn't say it doesn't mean that he can have no scruples...... The division commanders gave him face, but they didn't let him kick his nose in the face!
For example, this time he applied for a spirit rune to go to the Netherworld Realm to cultivate, and Shaoguang Zhenren's smile was a little worth pondering. Especially the words "Very good, it should have been like this a long time ago" that this uncle said at the end of the year, which secretly reminded him.
If it is done cleanly and beautifully, everyone will save trouble—he thinks that this is what Shaoguang Zhenren may mean.
As a great master of returning Dan to the second turn, Shaoguang Zhenren may have noticed some of his eccentricities, but he just didn't break them. That approving sentence may be an affirmation of his approach.
In terms of the idiom of "covering his ears and stealing the bell", Shaoguang Zhenren doesn't care about him stealing the bell, and can even sit next to him and just watch, as long as he doesn't make a tinkle and everyone hears it.
Cultivating in the Netherworld is undoubtedly a good way to keep the bell from ringing.
This point, after he checked the situation of the spirit rune, was basically affirmed.
The amount of mana contained in this spirit rune was astonishing, far exceeding the level required to "be active in the underworld for a period of time", and both Jasmine and Du Xin only glanced at it and determined the true purpose of this thing—it was definitely not just used to protect the soul, but to assist in cultivation and even to assist in combat.
Obviously, Shaoguang Zhenren gave him this spirit rune to let him practice in retreat in the Netherworld Realm. No matter what treasures or Dao methods are used, no matter how long they have been cultivating, all in all, Shaoguang Zhenren said, "I haven't seen anything, Wu Xie is probably lost in the Netherworld Realm."
Decency does not mean pedantic, and if you want to be accommodating, you can always find a way.
Wu Xie thought about these things while slowly moving forward in the Netherworld Realm.
He didn't dare to go too fast, let alone take his sword into the air, because that might attract some people he couldn't afford to mess with.
There are not only mortal souls in the Netherworld, there are also monks here.
monks who die before their longevity is over, and who are obsessed with refusing to be reincarnated; The monks who went into the underworld and failed to leave in time and turned into ghosts; Monks who made mistakes in cultivation and eventually became ghosts......
What's worse is that because of the pervasive influence of the strong yin qi in the Netherworld, there are often all kinds of soul mutations here, turning into all kinds of demons and ghosts that are difficult to describe one by one. They may not be very powerful, but they are far more aggressive than the monks, and they will attack any target if they are not careful.
And...... He was not the only one who entered the Netherworld Realm to cultivate.
Shaoguang Zhenren warned him very seriously, "Now that the three sects are about to perform the law, there are many dragons and snakes in the Netherworld Realm, especially the people in the Demon Dao, there are quite a few spells in the Netherworld Realm that are amazingly powerful, you have to be more careful."
So he preferred to walk slowly in the direction of the yin wind and not be in a hurry at all.
The yin winds that are ubiquitous in the Netherworld are blowing towards the River Styx. The River Styx originates from the Valley of the Netherworld, flows into the Sea of Styx, and traverses the entire Netherworld, and is the most important signpost in this Dark World.
Unless they are natives of this worldly realm, no matter what kind of monk they want to find here, they must first find the River Styx, and then follow the River Styx for a while to find a suitable reference in order to determine their current position and the direction in which they will go.
Of course, it's still along the River Styx.
When he was about to reach the River Styx, Wu Xie activated the spirit rune, and with the power of the spirit rune, he transformed himself into an ordinary-looking soul fire.
On both sides of the River Styx, there are many souls who refuse to go down the river like this, they are the dead who still have a concern for the world, but they do not have the will to resist the attraction of the River Styx, so they can only linger here until they finally give up and fall into the River Styx.
There are many soul fires on the banks of the Styx, bustling like pedestrians in the downtown area, and among so many soul fires, a ball that is going up the river Styx is naturally not conspicuous at all.
Wu Xie carefully paid attention to the surrounding situation as he walked.
He must have been the only monk walking on the banks of the River Styx, and perhaps one of the flames beside him was actually a monk disguised as the dead. These monks are indistinguishable from good and evil, and they come from a variety of backgrounds, so it is always good to be more careful.
And...... This beach on the banks of the River Styx is not a safe place!
He walked for a while, and the alarm suddenly arose in his heart, and without saying a word, he suddenly fell to the ground, only to see a black shadow suddenly rise from the River Styx, and in an instant swept across a large beach not far away, sucking at least two-thirds of his soul into it, and then before he could see clearly, he returned to the deep black and waveless River Styx.
This is a strange thing known as the "Stygian Dragon", and it is also the greatest danger in the Stygian Valley!
