The Great Seminary

Chapter 361 Subduing Yin and Rising Yang
The surrounding area was vast and empty.

Under the blazing sun, as far as the eye could see on the ground, there was not a trace of green or any sign of life, except for the blackened, scorched earth.

The Long Gold Fin Tail Cave Vein is divided into two semicircles.

The left half of the circle represents the brave warriors who have crawled back to the human world from the underground cave, while the right half represents the cultivators who are about to enter the demon world.

Meanwhile, all members of the 'Fengjin Group,' one of the seven direct hunting groups under the Changjin Fin Tail Cave Vein Town City Gongliang Hall, were present.

In addition, the sect disciples and friends who had accompanied them to witness the dangers of the underground cave were now standing in rows in the long queue on the right.

Jin Tizi, the leader of the "Fengjin Group", also holds the position of manager of the inner sect of the "Three Holy Swords Northern Sect".

As long as they live, there is a very high chance that they will become an inner sect protector, and even theoretically have the opportunity to become an inner sect elder.

This demonstrates the importance of Gongliang Hall within the 'Three Holy Swords Northern Sect', and the importance of the Hunting Group within Gongliang Hall.

Even so, the rules in front of the underground veins are very strict.

Everyone continued to move forward step by step, following the order of arrival.

But just then, a group of people suddenly broke through the clouds and rode the wind from the sky.

It flew to the sky above the underground veins and plunged in like a falcon.

It vanished instantly into the underground cave, causing a great commotion in the surrounding area.

Among the many people discussing this were several outstanding young disciples of the "Three Holy Swords Northern Sect" who had gone down into the underground cave with the "Fengjin Group".

I caught a glimpse of their agitated expressions.

As a seasoned veteran, Jin Tizi could only helplessly shout again:

"Listen carefully, everyone."

Descending into the Great Earth Cave is no trivial matter; many cautious Class B transcendents descend step by step along the 'Hidden Shadow Ladder'.

If someone has the guts and the ability to fall to the ground, that's their business, and I have no say in it.

However, if you go down into the underground caves with a hunting party from the 'Three Holy Swords Sect,' you have to abide by the sect's rules..."

Zhang Gui and Sun Chonghe walked in the middle of the "Fengjin Group" procession.

Naturally, it proceeded at a snail's pace, step by step.

Previously, I was excited and not at all bored because it was my first time seeing the amazing sight of the underground veins.

But now, without realizing it, they have been lingering in front of the underground vein for more than an hour.

As my curiosity faded, a sense of unease crept into my heart.

Fortunately, both of them knew right from wrong and were law-abiding.

As long as the rules are reasonable, even if they feel stifled, one can obediently abide by them.

But those people just now might be unconventional in nature;
The disciples of the 'Three Saints Sword Northern Sect,' who were eager to prove themselves and were filled with envy as others triumphed and fell to the abyss, could no longer contain their anger.

He muttered under his breath, "Rules are rigid, but people are flexible."

Moreover, these are rules that have existed since the founding of our sect, passed down from ancient times, perhaps thousands or tens of thousands of years ago.

The other hunting groups of Gongliang Hall now travel through the underground caves by flying on their swords.

After hundreds, even thousands of trials, no accidents have ever occurred.
"Pah, pah, pah! Don't talk nonsense and say things that might bring bad luck."
"That's right, that's right, Junior Brother Hao, this is your first time going down into the underground cave."

Don't talk like you're a regular customer, hahaha…

They thought that their whispers were not loud and that they could not be heard from a distance.

Little did he know that from the moment he stepped out of the Long Golden Fin Tail Cave Pulse Town, Jin Tizi had already cast the 'Heavenly Wisdom Technique' on himself.

Forget whispers, he could hear the sound of rats grinding their teeth clearly within a radius of fifty feet.

So what if we can hear it? As the old saying goes, the law does not punish the masses.

Even if he was in the right, his actions were indeed somewhat inappropriate.

Moreover, those who can go down into the underground caves with the Gongliang Hall hunting team are either disciples with powerful backers from their sects or influential "connections." Jin Tizi can reprimand one or two, three or four, or even once, twice, three or four times.

But we can't have everyone arguing with each other every time.

Over time, even the most stubborn personality is completely worn down, and one can only keep it to oneself.

Zhang Gui noticed his steely expression and couldn't help but lower his voice to say to Sun Chonghe:

"The old man who's protecting you sect's 'little flowers' is already grinding his teeth in anger before he's even entered the underground cave."

"That's a bit lacking in magnanimity."

"Let's ignore what others are doing, as long as you don't annoy people," Sun Chonghe said, giving him a quiet glare.

Judging from their tone, during the few days they stayed in the Long Gold Fin Tail Cave Pulse Town, seeing each other day and night, their relationship had become much more casual.

So they slowly moved forward, and the Fengjin group finally entered the underground vein.

Looking down, the cave was deep and dark, like a bottomless abyss, which sent chills down one's spine.

Countless fine cracks appeared on the wall.

It emitted a dim, eerie light, making people look like ghosts and demons with their blue faces and fangs.

There are also two staggered stone staircases, one black and one white, which are intertwined and attached to the cave walls.

The black one is called 'Fuyin', and the white one is called 'Shengyang'.

"Everyone slowed down and descended along the black 'Hidden Shadow Ladder'."

Notice the cracks in the cave wall. Oh well, it's been over a hundred years since we've seen a single 'Great Annihilation Explosion'.

Let's go. Those who wish to enhance their directional abilities early can do so now.

To avoid forgetting later, let's leave it at that.

Standing on the top section of the 'Hidden Shadow Ladder', Jin Tizi originally intended to say a few final words.

But seeing the impatient looks on everyone's faces, he lost interest, shut his mouth, and walked downstairs.

The group then spiraled down.

I don't know how much time passed, but it seemed like I passed through a membrane of light.

The increasingly stuffy air suddenly became moist.

Even more bizarrely, the steps that were originally leading downwards seemed to instantly reverse and turn into steps leading upwards.

After passing through another membrane of light, the 'Hidden Shadow Ladder' returned to its downward-extending form.

Continuing on, another membrane of light appeared below.

After passing through, the positions of up and down are reversed again.

After repeating this process countless times, they finally arrived at the end of the 'Hidden Shadow Ladder'.

The group did not descend into the deep underground cave, but rather crawled out of a cave.

Step into a vast underground world.

With his feet firmly planted on the ground, Jin Tizi let out a long sigh of relief. "Everyone, we have arrived at the Demon World."

All those who had ventured into the underground cave for the first time, including Zhang Gui, looked at each other in bewilderment after experiencing such bizarre events along the way.

Seeing their astonished expressions, Jin Tizi frowned and called out,
"Alright, let's calm down."

This is not a place to daydream.

As soon as the words were spoken, a young Taoist priest, dressed in a fine Taoist robe, with delicate features and an elegant demeanor, asked:
“Senior Brother Jin Tizi, but we didn’t ‘go down’ into the underground cave, we crawled out from underground!”

Could it be that we actually live underground among the Hundred Earth Demons?
"Wouldn't that turn us into demons?"
