Of the four, Ba Meng was the initiator, and he possessed a top-grade Nine Mysterious Realm Breaking Talisman. Only he could open the Netherworld passage and get in, and his main purpose was naturally to save his son, Ba Luo.
Qiu Yuan Yi and the Green Lady should want to go to the Underworld Realm to look for the same thing, as for what they were looking for neither of them said, Ning Cheng did not know either.
Even if the rules of the Underworld Realm were broken, it was not that easy to enter the Underworld Realm. Apart from the Nine Mysterious Realm Breaking Talisman, breaking the Netherworld Realm also required a thunder arc attack with the power of the Heaven and Earth rules. Ning Cheng was a Dao-shaping Saint Emperor, so the thunder arc attack naturally carried the power of the rules.
The reason why Ba Meng found Qiu Yuan Yi and the two Green Maidens was because to enter the Underworld Realm, it was not enough to have the Nine Spectral Boundary Breaking Talisman and the thunder arc, one also needed several Dao-shaping level powerhouses to work in unison. Ning Cheng only had a Dao-shaping cultivation, and if Ning Cheng was a Dao-shaping Saint Emperor, then all Ba Meng had to do was to find another person to come here.
Ning Cheng’s role was not only to enter the Tai Su Yin Underworld Realm in conjunction with the Nine Mysterious Realm Breaking Talisman, but also to help clear the Yin obscurity in Ba Meng’s soul at the first opportunity after he found Ba Luo’s soul.
The soul will be covered with a layer of Yin Obscurity after being in the broken Yin Underworld for a long time, and if this obscurity is not cleared away in time, even if Ba Luo awakens, he will be muddled. In the best case, the cultivation qualification will also decline.
……
Ba Meng led the way, and the Green Lady kept teasing Ning Cheng along the way. Only Ning Cheng didn’t say anything more than mmmm. Seeing that Ning Cheng seemed to have little interest in her, the Green Lady also shut her mouth knowingly.
The few people left the Tai Su Sea and after several more days of rapid transport, they finally stopped at a barren place with little divine spiritual energy.
As soon as Ning Cheng arrived here, he felt a dense Yin Qi. This barren land was filled with white skeletons, and deep within the barren land, there were still some low-level Yin souls howling.
“Is this the entrance to the Tai Su Yin Underworld?” Ning Cheng asked in confusion.
Ba Meng shook his head. “I’m afraid that few people know where the entrance to the Tai Su Yin Underworld Realm is, except for some mixed elemental powerhouses. This place has the heaviest Yin Qi, and should be the easiest location to activate the Nine Mysterious Realm Breaking Talisman. And no one comes here, no one will disturb it.”
“Redhead, do it.” Qiu Yuan Yi saw that Ning Cheng did not even know about this. There was some contempt in his heart. This truth was known even to ordinary ordinary cultivators, and Ning Cheng was at least a late Dao-shaping Saint Emperor.
“Good ……” Ba Meng said, raising his hand and waving out pile after pile of divine crystals to set up a spirit gathering formation around this area.
Qiu Yuan Yi and the Green Lady were also helping beside him, Ning Cheng saw that the formation dao levels of these few people were all very average, not even the worst low level divine formation masters.
He had no intention of helping out either. It was just an ordinary Spirit Gathering Formation. This Spirit Gathering Formation was merely to help the Nine Mysterious Boundary Breaking Talisman to inspire better, so there was really no need for him to do anything else.
Half a day later, Ba Meng paused and said, “Now I am going to sacrifice the Nine Specters Boundary Breaking Talisman, once my Nine Specters Boundary Breaking Talisman is sacrificed. There will be countless Yin souls pouncing over. These Yin souls are very weak in power, but they are afraid of many, once there are more, the Nine Specters Boundary Breaking Talisman will be lost.
Fellow Daoist Ning. Immediately after you see these Yin souls pounce on the Nine Specters Boundary Breaking Talisman, offer up a thunder arc to help. Qiu Yuan Yi and the Green Lady and I will join forces. With the help of the Nine Specters Boundary Breaking Talisman, tear open the interface.”
No one raised any objections, and Ba Meng took out a palm-sized piece of pitch-black talisman. As soon as the talisman was taken out, a powerful rule force was pounced upon by Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng secretly marvelled in his heart. This kind of talisman, there was no telling what kind of talent could have crafted it.
He had not seen any powerful talisman makers, and the only strong talisman maker he had heard of was the Talisman Lie that Cang Wei had spoken of.
The Nine Mysterious Realm Breaking Talisman was stirred open in Ba Meng’s hand, turning into a pitch-black heaven and earth rule force that blasted into the void. These rule powers did not spread out, and became more and more cohesive as they blasted out. The further back it went, the more terrifying the rule aura became.
“Boom ……” These rule auras finally exploded, directly tearing a pitch-black rift in the middle of the void.
Endless shadows of souls rushed out from this pitch-black rift, and without exception, they rushed towards the Nine Mysterious Realm Breaking Talisman.
Ning Cheng knew that it was his turn to make his move, and without hesitation, he blasted out a thunder arc. Ning Cheng did not major in thunder arcs, and his thunder arcs were not very powerful in attacking. However, even if it was not strong, Ning Cheng was still a Dao-shaping Saint Emperor, and these thunder arcs still carried some rules of heaven and earth.
“Boom boom boom boom ……” Under the thunder arcs, those Yin souls that swarmed towards the Nine Ghosts Boundary Breaking Talisman were quickly turned into flying ashes, and more Yin souls felt the aura of the thunder source and fled back in fear.
Ning Cheng secretly thought that if he didn’t use the Thunder Arc and used the Seven Bridges divine Ability instead in the face of such Yin souls, it would definitely be even more effective.
“Do it ……” Ba Meng hissed, his hands had long gathered endless divine energy power and tore towards the rift.
At the same time one, Qiu Yuan Yi and the Green Lady also made their hands to tear over.
A long, dark passage finally appeared under the combined efforts of several people. Ba Meng was the first to rush in, and Ning Cheng followed suit while asking, “Fellow Daoist Ba, how will we get out when we are done?”
Ba Meng said helplessly, “The Nine Spectral Boundary Breaking Talismans come in pairs, one in and one out, otherwise who would dare to buy this?”
The Green Lady who was following behind laughed and transmitted a voice to Ning Cheng, “Ning Dan Sage is so great at refining pills, but he knows so little about talismans, go to my cave when you are free and I will slowly teach you.”
This woman really knew about herself, Ning Cheng did not reply to the Green Lady’s words.
The long and ghostly passage seemed to have no end, besides the countless Yin souls around, there was also endless Yin Gang rule force, fortunately, this force had very little effect on several people.
Seeing that Ning Cheng did not speak, the Green Maiden deliberately sped up and vanish to Ning Cheng’s side to once again transmit her voice, “Although that Liu Fanglin is a charming body, I cultivate charming kung fu, if we talk about that kung fu alone, I will not be inferior to her, just try it if you don’t believe me and you will know.”
Ning Cheng was really annoyed at the Green Lady starting to tease again, he said helplessly, “If the Green Lady wants my help, we all put a clear price on it, just like the Void Star Sect. If it’s for something else, sorry, I don’t have that interest.”
“Good, that’s what I’ve been waiting for from you.” The Green Lady smiled, “When we get out, I will definitely come up with a reward that will satisfy you.”
“Boom ……” came the sound of Ba Meng’s feet hitting the ground, and Ning Cheng’s few people followed suit.
The surrounding area was a grey gravel, devoid of any semblance of life or divine spiritual energy. Apart from some spiritless souls constantly floating away around, even a Yuan Shen capable of autonomy was invisible to the crowd. There is no water, no sky, no living beings. The whole world is only a monotonous grey, with occasional glimpses of grey and white or grey and black.
“This is the Underworld?” As Ning Cheng spoke, his divine sense swept out.
Here his divine sense flowed unhindered, but unfortunately, the scenes he saw were all the same even when his divine sense swept even further away.
Ba Meng said in a deep voice, “This can only be described as the outermost part of the Tai Su Yin Underworld, and we have not yet entered the Tai Su Yin Underworld. With our cultivation levels, even if the rules of the Tai Su Yin Underworld Realm were broken, we wouldn’t be able to enter. As soon as we enter, we will be suppressed, and the lighter ones will be directly transported away, while the heavier ones will be directly crushed into souls.”
“Then how do we find souls?” Ning Cheng asked in confusion.
Ba Meng did not answer, but at this moment Qiu Yuan Yi and the Green Lady cupped their fists and said, “Redhead, we will leave first. We will still meet here in a month’s time.”
“Good.” After Ba Meng clasped his fist and sent these two away, he then said to Ning Cheng, “They came in to look for the Six Yin Fruits, this kind of Dao Fruits is very important to the Dao Yuan of the Dao. But with their cultivation levels, they want to find the Six Yin Fruits here ……”
Ba Meng did not go on with the rest of his words and just shook his head. Obviously, Ba Meng thought that these two people would not be able to find the Six Yin Fruits here at all.
Ning Cheng knew about the Six Yin Fruits, when he had refined a furnace of Six Yin Soul Pill for the Silver Dragon Clan’s Gong Huayu, he had used the Six Yin Fruits, and he still had two Six Yin Soul Pills on him now. Because Ba Meng intended to give him the Dragon Washing Pond, he was also prepared to send a Six Yin Soul Pill to Ba Meng’s once Ba Luo was unable to find the soul.
“Let’s go, let’s go and recruit souls. We can’t enter the real Underworld with our cultivation levels, but we can invoke souls at the edge of the Underworld. As long as my son’s soul is still there, he will be able to feel his physical body.” After finishing his sentence, Ba Meng took the first step to vanish forward.
Ning Cheng followed behind Ba Meng, and the two of them walked for several days before stopping before a bridge of stone arches that appeared to be hidden.
“The First Naiad Bridge?” Ning Cheng shouted out in a lost voice, this stone arch bridge carried a miserable white colour, what else was it if not the Naihe Bridge?
Ba Meng shook his head and said, “This is not the Nai He Bridge, but a bridge for souls to the Underworld, called the Bridge of Passing Souls. The First Nai He Bridge you mentioned is the first of the seven divine bridges, which has nothing to do with this. After a person has fallen, the soul will involuntarily approach this bridge as long as it can come to the Underworld. Only those souls that have passed this bridge will have the chance to enter the passage of reincarnation. Those souls we saw before were all souls that had no chance of reincarnation.”
After saying this, Ba Meng once again carefully moved closer to the front before saying, “There are thousands of such soul crossing bridges seen in the Tai Su Yin Underworld, but there is actually only one. Our cultivation level is limited, so we can only be outside the Soul Crossing Bridge. We must not cross the bridge, once we do, there is a high chance that we will fall here.”
After Ba Meng explained to Ning Cheng, he raised his hand and waved out an ice jade stone bed. On the stone bed lay a young and fit man with red hair, just like Ba Meng.
“This is my son Ba Luo, his physical body is here, and as long as his soul has a trace of existence, it will come over of its own accord. When that time comes, I will need your help, as soon as his soul comes over, you remember to use the lightning arc to wash away the obscure Qi of the Underworld that is clouding his soul’s body.” Bamon looked at Ning Cheng sincerely.
Even though he had not yet stepped onto the Soul Crossing Bridge, Ning Cheng could already feel the powerful rule thrust. While he was resisting this rule thrust, he was feeling this Yin and Underworld rule. After hearing Ba Meng’s words, Ning Cheng hurriedly said, “Of course there is no problem with this, Daoist Ba Meng, don’t worry about it.”
