Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 261 Descending to the Netherworld

What he has gained today is the foundation and resources for his future advancement to the sixth rank.

He wants to improve so much.

Regardless of how the situation develops, if any unbearable changes occur, they can simply abandon the business. Therefore, Gu Qing was particularly happy selling land.

And so, another five years passed.

This day.

With a solid foundation and a strong spiritual consciousness, Gu Qing gradually cultivated the fourth level of the "Crimson Sun God and Demon Diagram" to its peak, and his various supernatural abilities and skills also improved considerably.

In particular, he never gave up on further studying the Shattered Gold Divine Sand, a minor supernatural power technique refined from the wonders of the earth, and has always been diligently researching it.

This was so that when gathering the two souls of heaven and earth, one would have a powerful method to do so.

After all, like supernatural powers and earthly fiend techniques, it is engraved into the demon infant's instincts and is one of the most useful means of exploring the Netherworld and the Nine Heavens!

These two realms are both independent and dependent on the Cangwu Realm.

Cultivators below the sixth rank find it difficult to advance their physical bodies. If we consider the Cangwu cultivation world as an egg, the eggshell represents the four seas and eight wastelands, while the egg white represents the Netherworld and the Nine Heavens.

The egg yolk is the origin of Cangwu, the gate of the Heavenly Dao, the "life" of the world and the place of origin, a mysterious and unknown realm that no living being has ever reached since the beginning of chaos.

As for the blessed lands and various secret realms, they are located on the outside of the eggshell and connected by a thread.

They are fundamentally different. Their connection with the Cangwu Realm is not deep enough, so if problems arise, they won't affect the world itself. They are even a kind of food, created by powerful beings in the void, and then swallowed and digested by the world.

If you want to enter the Netherworld, you either need to send your infant spirit out of your body to explore, or use a divine avatar cultivated by the Earth Spirit Body to do it for you. In case of an accident, you won't die or perish, and there will still be room for remedy.

Gu Qingxiu's [Divine Embryo Technique] has a physical magic weapon as its foundation, which is essentially the same as the sixth-grade cultivation method of personally entering the body, and has a high probability of recalling the earth soul.

It was my first time trying it, so I was a little cautious.

The stronger one's spiritual sense, the greater the advantage in this stage, and the Soul Purifying Lotus also provides considerable assistance.

In a quiet room.

Gu Qing pointed to his brow and gently pulled, bringing the pink and white lotus flower that the demonic infant was sitting on in the Niwan Palace into reality, with a flash of black light passing by.

The Demon-Slaying Sword released a large amount of ghostly mist, and meridians, bones, and muscles quickly formed, creating a spirit body exactly like Gu Qing's. The Soul-Purifying Lotus entered its brow.

If the Heavenly Soul is too ethereal and elusive, then the Heavenly Spirit Body's foundation is also somewhat lacking.

The Earth Spirit Body has reached a certain extreme. If he cannot restrain the Earth Soul, no one in the entire Cangwu cultivation world can do it, unless an accident occurs.

Gu Qing still had some concerns.

After all, there are some problems with his background, especially when it comes to gathering his celestial soul in the future, he is very worried that he will not be able to find it.

"If you don't have an ID card, a green card is a good alternative."

"As long as it's not something as upsetting as going back to China next week, I can accept it."

Muttering to himself, Gu Qing quickly focused his attention on this crucial training session.

"go with!"

The earth spirit bowed to its true form and transformed into a stream of light, arriving at the dungeon of the Xuan Tian Black Market, where some scattered demons who were causing trouble in the market were imprisoned.

I just randomly picked a lucky person.

He struck the demon with ninety-nine bolts of demonic lightning, then slowly burned it to death with a gentle fire. In the middle of the process, he used human elixirs that amplified the senses to enhance the pleasure of the tortured demon, and finally sealed its throat with a sword.

This is the simplest way to enter the netherworld.

"Pain draws the soul, the dead pay tribute to the heroes."

"May the netherworld guide you to enlightenment!"

The Netherworld should naturally be connected to it; one can simply follow the demon soul there. Of course, this incantation was just something Gu Qing casually mentioned and had no real effect.

This hero is not that hero.

If he was lucky, he might even see what other people's earth souls looked like. He didn't have to wait long.

In the realm of divine perception, invisible to the naked eye, the fragmented demon soul, its face full of resentment, drifted towards the ground.

The Earth Spirit quickly transformed into a streak of light and followed.

These kinds of underworld passages are extremely narrow, and nothing but spirits can enter. They are temporary passages created by the underworld based on rules and laws to guide the souls of the dead. You can enter but you cannot leave.

Sixth-rank cultivators generally don't take this route; there's a main gate they can use.

Gu Qing was too lazy to look for it, so she just took a shortcut.

As the depth increases.

In the hazy light, it seemed as if he had passed through a thin, intangible membrane. Layers of thin, cold mist gradually thickened, and Gu Qing lost track of the demon soul without realizing it.

It seems I won't have the chance to see someone else's Earth Soul.

But they successfully arrived at the Underworld.

"Is this the Netherworld?"

There is no sun or moon here, and the horizon is nowhere in sight, yet a faint light seems to emanate from nowhere.

The fog was thick everywhere, making it impossible to tell which way was which.

The wailing of wronged spirits seemed to echo in my ears, greatly interfering with the exercise of my spiritual power. Coupled with this environment, it's no wonder that finding the soul was so difficult.

Having successfully entered the Netherworld, Gu Qing focused on two things at once.

He was in seclusion, focusing most of his attention on the Earth Spirit. He wasn't in a hurry to find the Earth Soul; he wanted to find the core location in the Netherworld.

The underworld is said to be the place where sentient beings are reincarnated.

An immortal descended to the mortal realm, his immortal body shattered, and his immortal soul fell into the netherworld, retaining his memories to be reborn as a human and embark on the path to immortality once more.

Such stories and legends have always existed, including accounts of reincarnated immortals and powerful beings who have undergone physical transformation and rebirth. These beings are referred to as reincarnated beings.

Gu Qing had been fooled by the abbot of Huilong Temple before.

Although the other party claimed to have deliberately deceived him and lured him into a trap, it is undeniable that it aroused Gu Qing's curiosity about such beings.

In its previous life, Earth had various legends such as Yama, the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu, and the Lord of Mount Tai. The Cangwu cultivation world also had a set of underworld myths, but there were no rulers here. Everything operated according to the rules of the world and the laws of heaven.

If one had to categorize him, Youjun could be considered the natural ruler of the underworld, but unfortunately, he harbors an instinctive killing intent towards the living, which is difficult to reconcile.

The center of the netherworld is naturally the precious land where the Lord of the Underworld is often born.

Gu Qing suspected that this was also the place where true spirits were reincarnated. Earth souls should be gathering in large numbers here. It would be much simpler to go to the core area to cast spells to summon the souls.

Moreover, there is the ancient Ghost Willow, a truly wondrous tree.

Whether it's the Netherworld or the Nine Heavens, both are places where sixth-rank cultivators like to go for training and treasure hunting, and Gu Qing also wants to learn more about them.

in this way.

Day after day, he was completely immersed in the pleasure of exploring the ghosts. He encountered many remnant souls along the way, but none of them had any rationality and instinctively flew towards a certain place.

Gu Qing looked left and right, following closely behind.

After changing guides one after another, and after who knows how much time had passed, finally... the thick fog dissipated, and the chilling feeling intensified, even causing frost to form on our eyebrows.

In front.

A lifeless, pitch-black land came into view, and a river of weak water appeared in front of them—the infamous River of Oblivion!
Gu Qing became wary and did not delve any further.

Prepare to cast a spell at the edge.

The core area of ​​the Netherworld is generally the territory ruled by various Netherworld Lords, so caution is advised.
