Talisman Emperor
Chapter 936 The Hereafter
The purple sun hung far above the tin-gray sky, and its faint luster dyed the world in a blackish tint.
The wind whistled and roared as if crying and complaining, horrifying and gloomy.
When Chen Xi opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was such a scene. The tin-gray sky, the violet-colored sun was dim, and the wind was gloomy and emitted a wailing sound.
Where'sisthis? Chen Xi was stunned. He wanted to stand up, yet his entire body was limp and extremely weak. He exerted a lot of strength before sitting cross-legged while panting.
He knew that this was a side effect of executing the Godslaughter Burs, and it was caused by the too frequent Blood Essence within his body. It was even to the limit of his life was heavily consumed.
I might need a few months of time to recover all my strength this time .. Chen Xi felt the situation inside his entire body, and he could not help but frown as he raised his head to measure his surroundings.
The heaven and earth here were unlike any known world. Thick tin-gray clouds and a scorching sun hung in the sky, and the air flowed with various gloomy air currents that gave him an extremely oppressive feeling.
Moreover, he was currently at the edge of the river, whereas a very ordinary thin forest was stretched out in front of him and did not emit the slightest aura of danger.
This caused Chen Xi to breathe a sigh of relief, and she thought in her heart. Could this be Netherworld?
If it was in the most mysterious terms in the three dimensions, then it must be Netherworld because it was very difficult for a living person to know exactly what the Netherworld looked like.
But there were many legends about the Netherworld in the Mortal Dimension.
According to legend, the souls of the dead creatures of the world would enter the Netherworld, taking the path of Nether Springs, passing the River of Forgetfulness and the Bridge of Immortality, drinking a bowl of soup from Grandma Meng[1], according to legend, and then enter the six paths of hell to be reincarnated according to the good and evil deeds that souls have done in the past.
Moreover, there were various other mysterious and frightening places in the underworld such as the Wrong City, the Gates of Hell, the 18 levels of Hell, the Bloody River of Sin, and so on and so forth.
There were many great figures controlling the Netherworld such as the five Ghost Emperors, the ten Kings of Hell, Ksitigarbha, and so on and so forth. But all of these were legends spread across the mortal world, and it was impossible to discern whether they were true.
Chen Xi's understanding of the Netherworld was only from this legend, so she was unable to determine whether the place before her eyes was the Netherworld or not.
I wonder where Xiuyi is now …? Chen Xi pondered in silence for a long time and could not hold her breath lightly while her eyes flickered with a wisp of icy cold killing intent.
Bing Shitian's clone had clearly been annihilated by him on that day, yet the Netherworld Disk appeared abruptly and swept over Qing Xiuyi, causing Chen Xi's actions to fail on the verge of success.
All of this must have been caused by someone colluding in secret with Bing Shitian, allowing that person to keep him and Qing Xiuyi apart at the last moment.
No matter who you are, as long as I find you, I will definitely kill you without showing mercy! Chen Xi's muttered
"It was the Netherworld Disk, the Saint Artifact in the six hell paths, so only a great figure in the six hell paths was able to control it." The small cauldron spoke suddenly.
Chen Xi frowned and said, "So in this way, really a great figure in the Netherworld who colluded with Bing Shitian to seize Xiuyi at the last moment?"
The little cauldron fell silent for a moment before saying, "Yes, it can't possibly be wrong since you're in the Netherworld."
While speaking here, the voice of the small cauldron revealed a rare trace of sorry tone and said, "Sorry, I don't expect the Netherworld Disk to appear at the last moment. Otherwise, such an event would not have happened. "
Chen Xi shook her head and interrupted the small cauldron. "No need to blame yourself."
"Don't worry. Since I owe you a favor, I will definitely get your woman back this time. "That little cauldron still seemed to feel regretful, and it sounded," The Netherworld Disk that appeared in Mortal Dimension was a taboo of its own. Since they dare to ruin the balance, then I will not have any further disturbances. "
Chen Xi took a deep breath and said, "Then thank you very much, Senior."
He was completely stupid towards the Netherworld, and his body was weak at the moment. So, for a while he had to rely on the strength of that little cauldron.
Perhaps it was because the small cauldron had decided to help Chen Xi, so the small cauldron then took the initiative to tell Chen Xi some details about the situation in the Netherworld.
According to what the little cauldron said, although the Netherworld was only a single world, it was boundless vast and almost endless. It surpassed every world within the Mortal Dimension and was even equivalent to the territory of the Eternal Dimension.
The existence of the Netherworld was for the sake of the reincarnation of all living beings in the world. It was filled with boundless spirits, souls, and ghosts. But other than all of this, there were many clans that existed in the Netherworld as well.
There were various such clans, yet they were collectively referred to as 'Klan Nether.'
The existence of the Nether Clan was no different from humans or the myriad of clans from the Primordial Era. The only difference was that they stayed in the Netherworld.
For example, the great figures controlling Netherhell practically all came from the Nether Clan, whereas, Netherhell was the organization controlling the Netherworld.
The organization is divided into the Gates of Hell, the Nether Springs Road, the Bridge of Despair, and the Six Paths of Hell.
The Five Ghost Emperors controlled the northern, western, southern, eastern, and central Hell Gates. All the dead souls from the mortal world would first appear at the Gates of Hell when they entered the Netherworld.
After that, they would be drawn to the Nether Springs Path from the Gates of Hell, and the Nether Springs Path master was called the Nether Springs Grand Emperor.
Something worthy of mention was that Six Paths of Hell was a very complicated organization.
Although it was divided into the Asura Path, the God Path, the Human Path, the Ghost Path, the Hell Path, and the Beast Path, there were many organizations that controlled the Six Paths of Hell. For example, Ten Kings of Hell, Officers of Hell, Criminal Officers of Hell, Punishment Officers of Hell, and so on and so forth. They each manage different tasks, and their tasks are clearly divided.
However, according to the small cauldron, Netherhell was the core of Netherworld's life, and was originally completely under the authority of the Netherworld Emperor and there weren't many organizations at all.
But along with the fall of the Third Netherworld Emperor, the entire Netherworld underwent a sudden change. The emperors kings of hell and ghosts fought for supremacy, yet no one could rise to the position of Netherworld Emperor, causing the entire Netherhell to be split apart and controlled by various different great figures, the Netherworld said, and it formed the current situation in the Netherworld.
To put it simply, Netherhell was like a great dynasty where most of the authorities in the world met, and there were various organizations under his command that allowed him to control the entire Netherworld.
At this point, Chen Xi had a rough understanding of the entire Netherworld.
"So in this way, I should head to the Six Paths of Hell to save Xiuyi?" Ask Chen Xi.
"Persian. But don't act impatient now. The Netherworld that I had known for too long. Right now, many years have passed, and there may be many new settings appearing in it. It was best to understand the situation clearly first before planning and taking action, "the little qualifier replied.
Chen Xi nodded and said, "Right, as long as we know who controls the Netherworld Disk, we will be able to drag people behind the scenes, and we will be able to save Xiuyi!"
Three days later.
Chen Xi woke up from her meditation, and she could not help but shrivel up when she sensed the situation within her body.
Although he had the help of Dark Parasol Sapling, the recovery of the injuries on his body was still too slow. As of now, he had only recovered his strength around the Golden Core Realm, and he was completely incapable of executing some of the great techniques he possessed.
This was not a matter of the amount of Immortal Energy it possessed. The key was that the Burst Godslaughter had overused her spirit, energy, essence, and other essence energies related to vitality, and she was unable to recover them in a short period of time.
Chen Xi shook her head and stopped thinking about it.
After which, he got inspired and suddenly thought of something, and a jade white book appeared with the flip of his palm.
The jade white book was shrouded in mist and was extremely cold, and exuded a strange aura that was as vast as an ocean. There were only two words written on its surface with an imposing and meticulous writing that exuded an aura of justice, impartiality, and strong solemnity – Netherworld Register.
On that day, the aura of the Netherworld Disk that had touched the Netherworld List within the Buddha Pagoda, caused it to take him to the Netherworld.
"It's completely different than before!" Chen Xi appraised it for a while before she saw the Netherworld Register was different from before. The jade-white surface of the book emitted a suction force that engulfed the strands after strands of Netherworld Energy in the air.
It felt like it had found a food that could recover its strength, and it caused the irrepressibly hungry Netherworld Register to become impatient.
"This is the supreme treasure that the Third Netherworld Emperor possessed, the Netherworld Register?" The little cauldron spoke at this moment in a tone that did not hide its admiration. “According to legend, the depths of Terminus that caused the gods of three dimensions to be filled with fear were stored within the Netherworld Register. I wonder if it's true. "
Chen Xi was stunned because this was the first time he had heard this.
“Unfortunately, his strength is even worse than mine. If you want to open it and check what was recorded in it, then he might have to absorb a large amount of Netherworld Energy. "
"So so," Chen Xi looked puzzled. He had long noticed that strands of strange energy were surging in the heavens and earth within the Netherworld. The energy was ice-cold, terrifying, and revealed an aura that caused one's soul to tremble, and it was probably Netherworld Energy.
In truth, Netherworld Energy was a type of spirit energy, but it was only produced in the Netherworld.
“You must be careful. Don't expose these treasures for now, otherwise, you might fall prey to that all the great Netherworld figures won't let themselves miss, "the little caveman warned.
Chen Xi naturally understood this principle. A man's wealth is his own destruction by arousing the greed of others, and it is an accurate principle throughout the universe.
After all, this was the legacy treasure of a Third World Emperor, and it was truly an incredible treasure that the great Netherworld figures dreamed of and could not resist!
Suddenly, a surprised cry faintly entered Chen Xi's ears from afar.
"There's someone in the distance!" Chen Xi and the small cauldron spoke at the same time.
What does it mean to be someone in the distance?
That meant that they could know their location in the vast and boundless Netherworld.
Grandma Meng lived at the center of the Bridge of Immortality used to cross the River of Sadness, and she gave a bowl of soup that caused them to forget before they could reincarnate.
