Feng Zun Journey: The World of the Netherworld
Chapter 6

Netherworld.

The river of Eternity flows in a cave under the foot of Mount God Baihe. This place is revered as one of the thirty-seven blessed lands in the Netherworld World.

It is also the home of Zeng Mo Palace, one of the top factions in the Netherworld.

Mount Lord Baihe is very tall, majestic, shrouded in clouds all year round that is always changing color. This ever-changing cloud is permanent.

A low rumble reminiscent of the sound of thunder resounded throughout the large ritual place in the middle of the mountain. A dazzling fluctuation of formation power churned into the clouds.

One of the most important figures of Zeng Mo Palace, Zhong Xugun, was there leading another group of Zengtian. They were all quietly waiting in front of the transmission altar in the middle of the ritual venue.

Zhong Xugun had an immortal aura, and his hair and beard were as white as snow. His figure was tall and upright, and he had proven his Dao Path by becoming an Immortal God since four thousand eight hundred years ago. He was now at the peak of the early stage Immortal God Realm.

There were a total of eighteen Zengtians in Zeng Mo Palace, and only three of them had stepped into the Immortal God Realm.

Their leader, the Great Zengtian, Zhong Xugun, was one of the three!

His position was so high and his authority so wide, that he could sit parallel to the elder as well as the head of the palace.

The ruler of the Palace is the highest, then the messengers and the palace chiefs and elders, next are the Zengtians, and the last is the protector of the dharma.

As time passed, the rumbling of the altar slowly subsided. With a misty flash of light, figure after figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

These were none other than the Ninth Zengtian, Chang Ziyan, Feng Zun, and the others.

Zhong Xugun and his group immediately approached to greet them with a smile.

After making small talk, the gaze of Zhong Xugun and the others turned to Feng Zun, the blind old man, the Daoist-robed old man, and the white-clothed youth.

The Ninth Zengtian hurriedly introduced them.

First, he introduced the Daoist-robed old man and his disciple.

When he learned that this was an old friend of the third elder, Zhong Xugun smiled and tilted his head to greet, "Martial Uncle has been waiting for you."

The old man in Daoist robes smiled warmly, "Thank you for welcoming us."

After a few more pleasantries, Zhong Xugun ordered one of the Zengtians, to lead the old man and his disciple to meet the third elder.

Before he left, the Daoist-robed old man smiled at Feng Zun, clenched his fists, then said, "Daoist Partners, my students and I will leave first."

Feng Zun subtly nodded his head but said nothing.

Shortly after, the Ninth Zengtian introduced Feng Zun and the blind old man to the others.

Although he praised Feng Zun, Zhong Xugun and the other experts were not too surprised.

However, when they learned of the blind old man's origin, they were all dumbfounded, and they treated him with more respect.

In Netherworld, no one dared to ignore the Mystery Lantern Clan, naturally they also did not dare to ignore any of its heirs!

Great Zengtian, Zhong Xugun ordered, "Lue Ye, please arrange a residence for our two Daoist comrades. Tonight, we'll have a banquet. Fellow Daoists, the two of you are also invited to a banquet with us."

"Understood!" 

Lue Ye said respectfully.

But at the same time, a gray-clothed woman could no longer hold back, "Ninth Yangtian, did you bring back the Luo Vein Seed?"

When they heard that, the others also looked towards the Ninth Zengtian.

The Ninth Zengtian eyelid twitched, and he said softly, "Everything, I will not hide that, yet there are some unexpected situations happening. When I met the lord of the palace, I promised to explain the details to everyone in great detail."

Zhong Xugun and the others frowned. 

The gray-clothed woman said, "The Palace Master and the Great Elder have gone to the Sea of Tribulation, about ten days ago. I'm afraid it'll take a long time before they come back."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "The Palace Master has given confidence to the Great Zengtian, to manage the affairs of the sect when he is not around."

The Ninth Zengtian exclaimed, "What are they doing in the Sea of Tribulation?"

In Zeng Mo Palace, the elders were an envoy, and the Great Elder was the most ancient and most experienced expert in the entire sect.

But now, he and the Palace Master had actually gone to the Sea of Tribulations. Of course the Ninth Zengtian was surprised!

Before the gray-clothed woman could reply, Zhong Xugun ignored the question, "When we are in the great hall of the sect, we can discuss the matter further."

The Ninth Zengtian nodded, then looked at Chang Ziyan, "Ziyan, let's go with me."

Chang Ziyan secretly understood his intention, "Understood."

Lue Ye took Feng Zun and the blind old man away, while Chang Ziyan, the Ninth Zengtian, and the other Zeng Mo Palace experts proceeded to the large hall.

......

The Mountain of Gods Baihe had a total of nine peaks.

A jade bridge that pierced through the sea of clouds connected its peaks.

The Misty Heaven Peak was their place to welcome guests.

"Daoist comrades, look in the distance, it is the Peak Spirit of Life, the residence of the core disciples of Zeng Mo Palace.

"While it was the Peak of the Cloud of Tranquility, where the Zengtians were cultivating.

"Besides him was a Peak of Gold Granules…"

As Lue Ye led Feng Zun and the blind old man to the Misty Heaven Peak, Lue Ye introduced one by one the layout of Baihe God Mountain.

Mount God Baihe was truly one of the thirty-seven sacred lands in the Netherworld World. Wherever they looked, a spiritual mist hung in the air, and the land was shrouded in divine light.

In addition, they saw many springs, all sorts of flowers, strange grasses, waterfalls and vibrant bamboo forests along the way. From time to time, herons flew across the sky, letting out their loud voices.

The nine peaks were packed with buildings, from ancient pavilions to luxurious and magnificent palaces, as well as various facilities for cultivating, and gardens filled with spiritual medicines…

That place really looked like the abode of the immortals.

The most famous cultivation holy land in the Luo Mainland though, was still inferior in comparison.

Along the way, Lue Ye continued to pay attention to Feng Zun's expression.

This was the first time Feng Zun had been in the Netherworld World, and he was in a famous blessed land like the Mountain of Gods Baihe. Originally Lue Ye had assumed that the scenery along the way, would amaze Feng Zun repeatedly.

Even this was a matter of pride for the disciples and experts of Zeng Mo Palace. 

Lue Ye inevitably thought this was a bit confusing.

Even in the Netherworld World, cultivators viewed the Baihe God Mountain as a sacred place to cultivate, and countless people wanted to cultivate in this place.

But now, it seemed like Feng Zun had no reaction at all, as if he had gotten used to such things. 

Of course Lue Ye was surprised!
