Nine Revolutions Star Transformation-Chapter 679 - 699: Entering the Netherworld
Chu Lin saw Lin Ruoxi and the other two entering the Netherworld entrance, quickly reverted to human form, rushed to the circular stone, and collected the three stones into his Storage Ring.
At this moment, the light of the hexagram dimmed instantly, an immense pressure suddenly appeared, and Chu Lin gave his all to rush into the Netherworld entrance. If he were a second slower, he could have been crushed by this immense pressure and coughed up blood to death.
Everything happened so quickly, the danger was truly unimaginable. Even so, Chu Lin was still severely injured at this moment, with pale golden blood incessantly spewing from his mouth, his face was extremely pale, directly receiving internal injuries.
However, once inside the Netherworld entrance, the pressure disappeared. Chu Lin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a bitter smile, "I almost got stuck here, it was really dangerous. Now, let's enter the Netherworld. This entrance should be a Teleportation Gate, and we will arrive soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful pulling force appeared, and the four of them disappeared in an instant. The entrance at Yunding Mountain closed as if it had never appeared.
After Chu Lin and the others left, an aged voice came from within the clouds, "Qingshuang, if you cannot breakthrough to the Mahayana Stage within the time of these three women, your Green Frost Sect should prepare for annihilation! I hope you won't disappoint me; I only have three years left!"
Of course, Chu Lin wouldn't hear this. If he had heard, he would be full of questions. What does this 'Lonely Demon Venerable's three years' mean? Could it be that he only has three years left to live?
Indeed, this Dugu Demon Venerable has only three years left. To help Chu Lin fend off this immense pressure, he had expended a large amount of his Power of Soul, and now he cannot assume human form, only appearing as a black mist. How would Chu Lin react if he knew?
The teleportation took a long time. When the four appeared, they found themselves in a deep pond, the icy water chilling them to the bone as if they had fallen into an ice cellar. Despite their strength, they felt cold, showing how low the water temperature was.
Chu Lin and the others quickly climbed out of the pond, looked around, surprisingly finding the sky to be dark red, without sunlight or moonlight, completely another world.
"Lin Feng, this Netherworld is so eerie. Look, the surrounding plants are dark red, some even black, why are there no green plants?" Lin Ruoxi said at this moment.
"Everyone be careful, we are already in the Netherworld. Powerhouses abound, we must proceed with caution, not rashly. Everyone should revert back to human form so we don't attract attention," Chu Lin said.
At this time, Young Master Feiyu asked, "Where should we go? It seems like just a pond here, not sure if there are any Magical Beasts. Should we go to a populated area and have a look?"
Just as Chu Lin was about to speak, Sword Spirit said, "Lin Feng, the Netherworld is different from other places. Here should be considered a branch of the real Netherworld. There are many Soul Bodies and Evil Ghosts. Some Ghost Kings have extremely terrifying strength; you must be careful."
"Ghost King? What's that? Sister Yue'Er, can you elaborate a bit more? After all, I know nothing about the Netherworld. Are the people here different from those in Canglan Ancient Land?" Chu Lin asked in surprise.
"Nonsense, the Netherworld is a sunless place. The species here fear sunlight the most, but once their strength breaks through to the Divine Martial Realm, they will no longer fear it. Your Sun Shining Stone is something many ghostly beings fear; keep it well, it might help you during this trip," Sword Spirit said.
The more Chu Lin listened, the more confused he became, standing there foolishly. At this time, Lin Ruoxi asked, "Lin Feng, what are you thinking? Where should we go?"
Chu Lin snapped out of it, looked at the three, and said, "There are many unknown entities in the Netherworld, a kind of Soul Body. Everyone must be careful, we should first explore outside, perhaps there are inns or similar places here."
Subsequently, the four of them directly flew into the sky. They found it extremely strenuous in the Netherworld, their speed was significantly reduced, but the consumption of Star Power was enormous.
After flying for about an hour, the four of them arrived on a plain. There were no buildings around, but there were many large trees, these trees were peculiar, lacking leaves, only branches.
The reason they stopped here was because Chu Lin and the others found a stone tablet with dozens of characters, but they recognized none of them. These were neither ancient nor modern scripts, leaving them momentarily clueless.
At this time, Chu Lin had a thought and immediately asked the Demon Lord in his Storage Ring, "Demon Lord, do you recognize the script of the Netherworld? How much do you know about the Netherworld? I am now in the Netherworld, and need your assistance."
"Qingshuang, you have been to the Netherworld before. There are Five Great Races within: the Ghost Race, Nether Race, Human Race, Ghost Race, and Blood Race. Among them, the Nether and Ghost Races are the most populous and powerful, followed by the Blood and Ghost Races, whereas the Human Race are those who entered the Netherworld in the past and stayed when the entrance was sealed.
But even so, these Humans are not to be underestimated, many are likely in the Sixth and Seventh Layers of the Saint Martial Realm, so you need to be careful," the Demon Lord said.
"Five Great Races? Do you know where I can find the Human Race? There's no sunlight here, what do they eat? And do these races also rely on absorbing Star Power to enhance their strength?" Chu Linfeng asked.
"How did I end up with an idiot like you? I really don't know when your memory will fully recover. Talking with you is exhausting. There's food in the Netherworld, similar to the things on the continent. There's all sorts of birds and beasts, only they're called Nether Beasts instead of Magical Beasts.
But the Ghost Race and Ghost Race are quite unique; they basically don't eat these things. They primarily absorb the Essence Qi of Nether Beasts, and of course, they also consume the Essence Qi of humans, similar to how the Demon Race consumes people, resulting in them becoming dry corpses.
However, the humans here are very united. When encountering the Ghost Race and Ghost Race, they will band together to resist, and few people end up being consumed.
There's a very strange phenomenon in the Netherworld: everyone here has a very long life, and many people don't change much. They also mature very early; some girls start having children at ten years old. Don't be too surprised by this.
Also, when you see a peerless beauty who resembles your woman, don't assume she's your age; she might be hundreds of years old. So trying to pick up girls in the Netherworld is unrealistic; you could end up with a hag hundreds of years old.
For now, you should find a city quickly. In cities, there are generally businesses run by humans, like taverns and restaurants, making it easier to gather information. I only know so much, as it's been ten thousand years. What exactly has happened, I'm not very clear, so you'll need to rely on yourself for everything.
Also, advise your friends not to judge people by their appearances, or they might suffer. Maybe a little kid has the strength of the Fifth or Sixth Layer of the Divine Martial Realm." The Demon Lord said all at once.
After hearing this, Chu Linfeng felt his head spinning; everything here completely exceeded his understanding. He relayed everything the Demon Lord told him to Lin Ruoxi and the others.
The three of them were equally astonished, just like Chu Linfeng. "Chu Linfeng, how do you know all this? You've never been here!" Ouyang Hong asked at this time.
"I definitely know more than you, like the entrance to the Netherworld. If I didn't say anything, who would know? Don't forget, I am Qingshuang reincarnated, so knowing these things isn't surprising!" Chu Linfeng said.
"Lin Feng, we should quickly find a city. I really don't want to stay here long. The eerie atmosphere around makes me feel scared. I really want to comfortably take a nap; entering the Netherworld is exhausting." Lin Ruoxi said at this time.
"Sister Yue'Er, can you use your Divine Sense to check how far the nearest Divine Sense is? We're planning to head into the city for a look?" Chu Linfeng said to Sword Spirit.
"Lin Feng, it's not that I don't want to help you, but in the Netherworld, using Divine Sense is most dangerous. There are many Ghost Kings and King Yous who rely on Divine Sense to find food. They can judge your strength based on how strong your Divine Sense is, so you must remember this." Sword Spirit said.
Chu Linfeng felt a slight disappointment after hearing this. He looked straight ahead and said, "Let's fly forward. Everyone, don't fly too fast; powerful enemies could appear here at any time. It's better to be cautious!"
The four of them then began slowly flying, and the journey was relatively peaceful. After flying for about an hour, a grand city wall appeared in front of them.
"Look, there's a city ahead! Finally, a city, it wasn't easy!" Lin Ruoxi said excitedly at this time.
Chu Linfeng discovered an official road not far from the city, with many people walking on it. "Let's go down and be careful not to attract attention. We don't know if the people on this road are from the Human Race or the Nether Race."
The four of them soon stepped onto the official road, seeing many people coming in and out of the city. Everyone covered their faces with a black veil so it was unclear whether they were Human or other races.
Seeing this, Chu Linfeng immediately understood something and said to Lin Ruoxi and the others, "We should also cover our faces so we won't be recognized by other races and can avoid unnecessary trouble."
"Where do we find black veils at this moment? I think we should just forget it! It's uncomfortable to hide as a man," Ouyang Hong said at this time, with his explosive red hair, even if his face was covered, it would attract attention.
Chu Linfeng looked at him helplessly and said, "Let's head into the city and hope nothing happens!"
Soon, they arrived at the city gate. Chu Linfeng looked up at the writing on the city wall and found it to be an unfamiliar script, but it was probably the city's name.
Guarding the gate were four guards, dressed in gray armor, without veiling their faces. One of them immediately stepped forward to block Chu Linfeng and the others, saying, "How dare you enter the city without a veil? Arrest them all for me!"
