Nine Nether Purgatory is one of the forbidden places in the Kunlun Continent that everyone knows about. In terms of fame, it is much greater than the Tianxu Wasteland in the Chaos Realm. It is comparable to, or even better than, the wilderness battlefield.
In the Immortal Era, before the Six Paths of Reincarnation were broken, this was the Underworld, which was in charge of the reincarnation of all creatures in the world.
It is said that in that era, if one did not become an immortal, he would be reincarnated forever and be reincarnated in the next life based on his good and evil deeds.
Those who do evil will be cast into the animal realm, and those who are extremely evil and ferocious will sink in hell forever and accept all kinds of cruel tortures. They are not even allowed to be animals.
Those who do good deeds will be reincarnated as human beings in the next life, become rich and powerful, and rise to great heights.
There are also people with great merits who can be directly thrown into the heaven. They are born as innate beings and raised by the earth. They are called heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals.
But the immortal path is broken, martial arts are prosperous, reincarnation is gone, hell no longer exists, and only the Nine Nether Purgatory remains.
The facts of the past have now become legends, and legends have become myths.
In today's era, there is no reincarnation, there are no immortals in the world, everyone can only live one life, and no one believes in merit.
Seven days later, Xiao Chen led four people on the road with the Wings of Freedom to a high mountain in the ghost realm.
This mountain is called Taishan. The mountainside has already disappeared into the clouds. It is impossible to know how high it is. The peak covers an area of hundreds of miles and is even more magnificent.
There is a gloomy atmosphere around the mountain peaks, and wandering ghosts can be seen from time to time, wandering around.
A few people didn't find it strange at all. In the ghost realm, everything was lacking, except for wandering ghosts. They were already used to it.
Although reincarnation is no longer around, the soul still exists after death.
Big Big Wolf loves Pleasant Goat, and the boring group leader recommends the board tiles, haha!
The soul that has lost its physical body will not exist in the world for a long time, even if it is as powerful as Emperor Wu in life, its light is bright and dazzling, and it can reach the stars and the moon.
The soul also cannot exist for a long time before the soul separates and then dissipates naturally.
But the ghost tribe has a secret method that can seduce souls, refine the souls of people after death into various ghosts, and enslave them.
It makes people feel no peace after death, arouses disgust and fear, just like the zombie clan stealing corpses and digging graves. If they weren't strong enough, they would have been killed thousands of times.
There is a big turbid river at the foot of the mountain, running from the top of the mountain to the earth.
This river is the famous Styx, also known as the River of Death, the Yellow Spring, and the River Nei.
But it is no longer complete. Reincarnation is broken. The Xuan River in the heaven, the source of this river, has been broken into several pieces. Naturally, the Styx River has also been broken into many pieces.
All kinds of weird supernatural powers are also lost. If you go down this river, you can lead to the Nine Nether Purgatory.
On the river bank, there were many warriors gathered. In addition to the ghost warriors, there were also many warriors from other tribes. There were also many black boats drifting in the river.
Kong Yuan looked up at the mountain and said, "Is this the legendary Mount Tai? It is said that you can reach the top of the mountain by walking up the river. There is a Nantian Gate on top. After passing the Nantian Gate, you will reach the fairyland."
Xiaobai nodded and said: "I once heard my adoptive father say that there is indeed a door on the top of the mountain, and the world behind the door is indeed a fairyland, but it is already a broken world, and even kings and emperors cannot survive in it for a moment."
Yuan Xu glanced at Xiao Chen and said meaningfully: "This is just a guess. Only those who have gone in know what it is like. Unfortunately, from ancient times to the present, it seems that only Qing Emperor has walked out of it."
Xiao Chen didn't take it seriously and smiled: "Don't look at me. There are no ancient books in the Xiao family that record what Qing Emperor saw inside."
Kong Yuan said: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go to the ferry. After dark, the ghost tribe will not accept guests."
Although the Nine Nether Purgatory is not a forbidden place, in addition to the death energy and evil spirits that the ghost clan likes, most of the Yin Fire in the world was also born in the Nine Nether Purgatory.
Strong men from various races often go to Jiuyou Purgatory to hunt for Yin Fire.
In addition to Yin Fire, there are also many cold-attributed heavenly materials and earthly treasures, which also only exist in the Nine Nether Purgatory.
Although the forbidden area is dangerous, there are always talented and courageous people who dare to seek wealth despite danger.
Or there are some warriors who come here simply for experience and to see if they can achieve enlightenment between life and death.
If you accidentally unearth something, the treasure of the Immortal Era will also happen to be lucky.
The four of them moved forward quickly, and after a while, they arrived at the river crossing.
On the ferry, there was a complicated flow of people. Xiao Chen didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when he glanced at it accidentally, he found a group of people in costumes who looked very familiar.
After thinking about it carefully, I remembered that he was from Yao Shen Valley.
Mr. Qin, who had died in his hands, and the two Medicine God Valley warriors who had troubled him in Kongyu City were all wearing similar attire.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly. He didn't expect to meet someone from the Medicine God Valley here. He would definitely be unable to do anything good if he killed the opponent's master-level alchemist.
The alchemists of Medicine God Valley are not strong themselves, but they can't bear to have strong connections. Look at that group.
The strongest ones were all not from Yao Shen Valley, and they looked like hired help at first glance.
One of them seems to have reached the realm of a great master.
The other party should be helping the people in Medicine God Valley collect Yin Fire. According to the medicine refining techniques of the Martial Arts Era, many pills require different flames to be refined.
Fortunately, this group of people had already boarded the boat and sailed away towards the netherworld ahead in the turbid yellow water.
Kong Yuan stepped forward to negotiate and summoned a ferry. After paying a large amount of star coins, the boatman in a bamboo hat quickly set sail.
The turbid yellow water has an unpleasant smell. From time to time, you can see changing ghost faces in the river water, which is deep and scary.
Contrary to Xiao Chen's expectation, Xiao Bai, who was sitting next to him, was not afraid at all and remained calm as usual.
Xiao Chen felt inexplicably hurt and couldn't help but grab Xiao Bai's hand and hold it tightly.
This girl has no idea what she has been through over the years.
Xiaobai chuckled, let Xiao Chen hold his little hand, and leaned gently on his shoulder.
Although the River Styx has lost all its wonderful magical powers, its true nature is still there. If you fall into it, it will be immediately corrupted by the filth, and no secret treasure in the world can protect you.
There is also a demonic nature in the river water. You cannot fly on it, otherwise you will fall into it for no reason, which is very weird.
Only the ghost ship built by the ghost clan can travel on it, which creates the fact that the other party controls the entrance to Nine Nether Purgatory. Whoever goes there has to pay a large amount of black star coins.
The ghost ship quickly sailed away from the surface. Above the bow, the vision became completely dark. The air was filled with flickering phosphorescence, full of wandering ghosts.
Looking up, there are skulls and various stone pillars piled together.
The boat was walking in the water, passing through the bodies of these wandering souls, and several of them were filled with strong vitality.
As soon as it touches a wandering spirit, it immediately disappears into thin air.
This land of the netherworld was divided into two realms of Yin and Yang during the Immortal Era. Once you pass this place, you will reach the underworld.
But if you can't pass it, you will be trapped here. You will not be able to return to the world of heaven, and you will not be able to reincarnate. You will wander here forever.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen felt something was wrong. The ghost ship stopped sailing and just stopped in the river.
Kong Yuan's expression changed slightly, he gestured to Yuan Xu, and asked the boatman, who was shrouded in a thick cloak on the bow of the boat, "Why don't you sail the boat? We haven't reached the Nine Nether Purgatory yet."
"If you can't get to La, just live here for your retirement, and then turn into a wandering spirit and wander around for the rest of your life."
The boatman sat on the bow and did not look back. Only a hoarse voice came from it.
At this time, the expressions of Xiaobai and the other three people all changed. They each used the power of their laws and were ready to seize the ship at any time.
Xiao Chen remained frightened and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, you want to extort money.
I have long heard that some unscrupulous boatmen will sail their boats to the Netherworld, a place of dilemma, and take advantage of the opportunity to extort money. "
"Haha, extorting money? Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xiao, you are the ancestor of this, right?" A sweet laugh came, and the boatman's cloak exploded, revealing a delicate body in a white dress.
The woman turned around and smiled, it was the ghost clan Qingcheng.
Xiao Chen's expression remained unchanged, but he was secretly wondering why he met this woman here.
A proud smile appeared on Qingchengmei's thrilling face: "Jiang Chengzi told me that you guys were coming to the Ghost Domain. I thought it was false news, but I didn't expect that you actually dared to come.
Aren't you quite capable? Let me see how you saved yourself today, toying with me while applauding. "
Snapped!
Qingcheng slapped her palm on the ship, and countless small holes immediately opened up in the bottom of the ship, and the ghost ship slowly sank little by little.
Yuan Xu and Kong Yuan took action instantly and killed the woman, but Qingcheng gave a sweet smile and fluttered lightly.
Eight ghosts carried a sedan, flew out, and Qingcheng opened the curtain of the sedan.
Then he sat in and looked through the sedan window at the slowly sinking ghost ship.
Yuan and Xu quickly retreated. There were eight ghost sedans in Qingcheng. They dared not fly across the Styx River, as they would die faster.
