This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

When Qingfeng reappeared, he was in a completely unfamiliar world.

Looking around, the surrounding mountains were broken and the land was barren, with no sign of life and an atmosphere of death everywhere.

The newly arrived breeze accidentally inhaled the air here, and its energy channels became blocked, causing it to feel nauseous.

Fortunately, Qingfeng reacted quickly and immediately used his magic to dispel the wisp of death energy he had inhaled, thus recovering.

Then, holding one's breath and concentrating, one circulates internal energy using the method of internal breathing.

However, this would inevitably severely suppress Qingfeng's strength.

"Where is this place? Could it be the legendary underworld?"

Qingfeng muttered to himself.

But it doesn't quite look like it.

The Netherworld is not actually a complete and concrete world. Rather, it is more like a law of heaven and earth, a negative aspect of the operation of heaven and earth, and the one that governs the reincarnation of the dead.

When Qingfeng was in the realm of the Netherworld, he once summoned the souls of those who had suffered tragic misfortunes, and his primordial spirit had come into contact with the Netherworld.

It is not a concrete world, but only the endless cycle of reincarnation that sustains and operates it.

Therefore, it is impossible for the physical body to exist in the netherworld.

The female ghost could not possibly enter the Netherworld, because as soon as a soul enters the Netherworld, it will be drawn by the law of reincarnation, entering the cycle of Yin and Yang, and cleansing everything.

"Where is this? How come there's a place like this in the Xuanhuang Great World?"

The breeze murmured to itself.

Then, with a stomp of his foot, his body suddenly rose into the air.

Suspended high in the heavens, overlooking the entire world.

There is no sun in this world, only a long river like a galaxy flowing slowly overhead, emitting a slightly fantastical light to illuminate the world.

Qingfeng carefully sensed and vaguely perceived a wisp of spacetime power from the long river in the sky.

This power also exists on the ascension platform of Qingming Island.

"The power of spacetime? Could it be... this is a desolate region?"

Qingfeng suddenly remembered the legend about the desolate region that had been passed down through the ages.

The Xuanhuang Great World consists of three domains and nine provinces, with the three domains being the Heavenly Domain, the Profound Domain, and the Wilderness Domain.

The Heavenly Realm is high above, created by the Ancient Heavenly Emperor, and gathers more than 90% of the martial gods and experts of the Xuanhuang Great World.

The Xuan Domain is full of vitality, a place where all races of the world live and thrive.

The desolate region is often referred to as the forgotten land by people around the world.

The nine provinces of the Three Domains and Nine Provinces are distributed in the Mysterious Domain and the Wilderness Domain.

The Xuan Domain consists of six states: Central Divine State, Southern Li State, Northern Lu State, Eastern Qing State, Western Tian State, and Yun State.

In addition, the three places of Huangzhou, Mingzhou, and Youzhou are located in the desolate region.

Legend has it that there was no such thing as the Desolate Domain in the Immortal Ancient Era; the three states of the Desolate Domain and the six states of the Profound Domain were originally one.

However, in the late Immortal Era, a terrifying war that affected the entire world took place in the desolate Netherworld.

All the strongest beings of the entire Immortal Ancient Era participated in this great battle. It is said that after the Immortal Ancient Era, there was only one Great Emperor in each era, but in the Immortal Ancient Era, they appeared in groups like stars shining brightly.

Imagine a group of great emperors fighting each other, each possessing the power to move mountains and fill seas—what a scene that would be!

As a result, Mingzhou was completely overrun and its more than 100,000 miles of land were shattered, and the damage began to spread to the surrounding Huangzhou and Youzhou.

Seeing that the entire Nine Provinces was about to be affected, the remaining peerless experts directly tore open the land of the Nine Provinces, separating the three provinces of Desolate Province, Underworld Province, and Netherworld Province.

They were banished to the river of time and space, bound by the rules of the Xuanhuang Great World, unable to escape or return to the Nine Provinces. This is why later generations called it the Three Desolate Provinces.

The Immortal Ancient Era also came to an end due to the fall of many powerful beings, plunging the entire Xuanhuang Great World into a dark age that lasted for hundreds of thousands of years. Various forbidden creatures appeared, turning the remaining six states upside down.

It wasn't until the appearance of the Heavenly Emperor that the darkest era came to an end, ushering in the glorious ancient era that would last for eternity.

Of course, most of these historical accounts are just speculation.

Along his journey, whenever Qingfeng encountered a large clan or a long-established sect, he would take the time to look at the ancient books left behind by these families and forces.

This mythical history was also learned from those ancient books.

Looking at the shattered earth around him and the lifeless air in the void, he finally thought of this history.

"If this really is the Wasteland, then it makes sense. I just don't know which of the three Wasteland states this is..."

A gentle breeze landed on the ground and began to wander through this broken world.

After walking for several hundred miles, one can see scattered ghosts scattered throughout the world.

"No...it doesn't seem like a pure ghost..."

Qingfeng stood atop a broken mountain peak, looking down at the strangely shaped creatures at the foot of the mountain and murmuring to himself.

Ghosts are the manifestations of the souls of living beings, embodying a multitude of negative emotions such as resentment, fear, obsession, sorrow, greed, jealousy, despair, and evil.

Ultimately, it is just a kind of illusory spiritual power.

Before becoming a vengeful ghost, it was extremely weak. Even the blood and qi of an ordinary mortal could burn it, so it dared not approach living people.

But these strange beings in front of us all have physical forms.

This entity doesn't resemble the flesh and blood of ordinary living beings; rather, it seems to be formed from the condensed and solidified death energy that permeates the entire world.

However, they also contain all the negative energy and evil spirits of ghosts.

"The three desolate continents have been exiled for millions of years, where the living cannot survive, but instead have become a paradise for these evil creatures... Interesting..."

Qingfeng muttered to himself.

He did not rashly attempt to harm these evil creatures, after all, to them, he, a living person, was an intruder.

The breeze flew at an extremely fast speed for about ten thousand miles before suddenly stopping.

He frowned and muttered to himself:

"The mark has disappeared?"

The Five Thunder Talisman mark he had branded on the female ghost suddenly disappeared, and Qingfeng lost his target.

He immediately took out a tortoise shell and copper coins and began to divine.

The moment the copper coin hit the ground, Qingfeng's expression changed drastically.

"not good..."

Without any hesitation, he turned and ran.

Just then, an extremely terrifying pressure descended from the sky, vast and mighty, as if the sky itself had lowered.

On the horizon ahead, a figure as tall as a mountain range rises abruptly from the ground.

It looked humanoid, but you could tell at a glance that it wasn't human.

That's not all. On the other side to the left, there was another terrifying figure standing, looking down at the sky.

Another figure appeared to the right rear, equally terrifying.

"God of War..."

Qingfeng's expression was extremely solemn. He discovered that the auras of these three terrifying beings actually surpassed those of ordinary martial arts immortals.

In other words, they have probably all reached the realm of martial gods.

"Three martial gods actually appeared at the same time to ambush me... they're really giving me face..."

Qingfeng chuckled self-deprecatingly, his mind gradually calming down.

"Humans?"

"How dare you trespass into the Underworld Capital of Youzhou..."
