Everyone looked at the two holographic images projected in the air. At first glance, they seemed to be exactly the same. Upon closer inspection, they were exactly the same as the scene in front of them now. However, looking closer, everyone finally saw some less obvious differences between the two images and the scene in front of them.
That's right, those two holographic images are the same as the scene in front of everyone. There is a ghost gate floating in the air.
As for this space, since there is no obvious change in terrain, it is like an endless desert, and there are not many undulating sand dunes. As a result, it is difficult for people to find something distinctive in the scene in front of them to distinguish it from the scenery in other places.
And now, among the three sceneries that had no obvious differences, each has an identical ghost gate. This resulted in the two holographic images and the scene in front of everyone being like "everyone is looking for trouble" among the three images.
Fortunately, there is still "fault" to be found after all.
Therefore, judging from the shooting angle of the image and the slight differences in the background environment, everyone finally determined that these were indeed three different places.
"Why are there such ghost gates in those two directions?" Lin Mumu said very puzzled.
"According to legend, including the Ghost Gate in front of us, it should actually be a projection of the Ghost Gate." Lin Miaomiao was more educated than her younger brother and immediately gave her own explanation for this situation.
When Qinghong Zhenjun heard this, he also nodded and said in agreement: "Yes, it is said that the ghost gate is opened on July 15th to allow the souls of the two worlds to communicate. Naturally, it cannot be opened in the same place."
Not to mention how big the world was in the past, just in the current Shenhua Realm, it would take more than a year for an ordinary soul to fly from east to west, not counting any delays along the way. And those ghosts are definitely incomparable to the power of the soul. If the gate of ghosts is only opened in one place, I am afraid that the ghosts in the distance will not be able to catch up even if they run away.
Therefore, according to legend, when the ghost gate opens on July 15th, it will definitely not open in one place, but will be projected everywhere in the world. Only in this way can the lonely ghosts in the world have the opportunity to enter the underworld from the gate of hell and complete the matter of reincarnation.
But now, in the three directions that the three teams are walking, there are ghost gates. It seems that this is the reason.
"Well...it seems that I really want to...go to the underworld!" Zhenjun Wenhua said helplessly.
People always have an inexplicable fear of the underworld, even those with powerful souls like Zhenjun Wenhua. After all, no matter how dangerous the other Jedi restricted areas are, they still exist in the world of the living. Life or death depends on how you control them. As for the underworld, in everyone's minds, the underworld represents death and is a place where people go after death.
Therefore, Zhenjun Wenhua was quite resistant from his heart to the upcoming trip to the underworld. It's a pity that his true spirit is in Ye Zan's hands, and it's not up to him to decide whether to go or not.
"Let's go, let's see how this underworld is different from the legendary one." Ye Zan ignored Zhenjun Wenhua's little mood, and after putting away the projection equipment, he said to Zhenjun Qinghong and others.
Ye Zan is really curious about this underworld.
Do the legendary Wangchuan River, Naihe Bridge, Ten Palaces of Hell, Eighteen Levels of Hell, etc. really exist, and what have they become now? Of course, more importantly, Ye Zan feels that there is no place more suitable for Tianyu Daozu to hide than this underworld, so it is very likely that he will meet the final BOSS.
Under the leadership of Ye Zan, everyone flew up one after another, flying towards the projection of the ghost gate in mid-air, and disappeared behind the broken gate one by one in the blink of an eye.
The Gate of Hell is not a gate, but a pass in the underworld. The passes in the Yang world are used to garrison troops to defend against enemies, and the passes in the underworld are the same. The role of the Gate of Hell is not only that of July 15th, but also a "military powerhouse" in the underworld outside of this day.
You know, this underworld is also very vast, it can be said that it is almost as good as the world in the underworld, but the underworld only occupies the largest piece of land. Outside the territory of the underworld, there are many ghost kings, large and small, each occupying a territory and dominating the territory, which is equivalent to the separatist forces in the underworld. Those ghost kings are not weaklings, otherwise they would have been wiped out by the underworld long ago. Therefore, the normal function of this ghost gate is to keep out the power of the ghost kings.
But now, what Ye Zan and others see inside Guimen Pass, just like the collapsed gate tower outside, has turned into an ancient-looking ruin. Perhaps it was because three teams passed by in front of them, so Ye Zan and others did not see any ghosts in the ruins.
"It is said that the world of the underworld is also very vast. If Thief Yu was hiding here that day, it might not be easy for us to find him!" Zhenjun Wenhua looked at this gloomy world and said, He said with a hint of worry in his tone.
Indeed, in the world of the underworld, although there is no boundless sea like the world of the Yang world, in terms of the vastness of the land area, legend has it that it is really not inferior to the world of the Yang world. Therefore, even if it is confirmed that Tianyu Daozu is hiding here, if you really want to find him, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
However, finding a needle in a haystack is not really difficult for Ye Zan. There are some methods that Ye Zan cannot use in the upper world, but in this underworld, he doesn't have so many scruples. Although, in this underworld now, in addition to their team, there are also three teams from various other forces. However, as long as Tianyu Daozu can be found, even if something is exposed that should not be exposed, the consequences may not be serious.
Therefore, in the face of the worries of Zhenjun Wenhua and others, Ye Zan smiled indifferently and said: "Everyone, wait a moment, let me show off first, and see what the underworld is like now. What a scene."
After saying this, Ye Zan offered the jade ball and began to release various equipment from the jade ball space, such as high-altitude detectors that had been used in the exploration of secret realms. A series of high-altitude detectors rose into the sky under everyone's gaze, until they flew out of everyone's sight, and then flew away in all directions.
"Brother, what are these magical weapons of yours?" True Lord Qinghong asked curiously.
"Well, this is similar to the detector you have seen before, except that the detection capability is stronger and the detection range is larger. Although, relying on these things alone may not be able to find the target quickly, but at least it can help us narrow down the target to the greatest extent. Range." Ye Zan explained to Qinghong Zhenjun and others while receiving the results from the detector.
At the same time, Ye Zan also released a field command vehicle used to receive and display detection results in front of everyone. Just like before at the palace complex, the field command vehicle unfolded its carriage and displayed rows of display screens. The detection results sent back by the high-altitude detectors were processed and displayed on the display screens.
"Although this is not the first time I have seen this thing, Fellow Daoist Ye's method still makes us have to say a word of admiration!" Zhenjun Wenhua and others couldn't help but complimented one after another when they saw the display of the command vehicle.
"Hey, Brother Ye, look here, are we already at the border?" Lin Mumu suddenly pointed at a display screen and shouted.
In fact, Ye Zan already knew the detailed detection information through the auxiliary chip in his brain, but Lin Mumu and others did not know this. Ye Zan didn't explain, and immediately followed the direction Lin Mumu pointed and turned his attention to one of the display screens.
The picture displayed on the screen was not that strange. It was just a jagged fractured surface of the earth. However, there was not another piece of earth on the other side of the fractured surface, but a translucent crystal wall. Everyone present is familiar with this kind of crystal wall. The boundaries of many secret realms are like this. Even the Shenhua Domain is surrounded by similar crystal walls.
And this also means that the position detected by the detector is already at the boundary of the space.
Of course, Ye Zan got more information. In fact, the terrain of this space was completely in his mind at this time. As expected, like the world in the Yang world, this underworld is also incomplete, and it is much smaller than the Shenhua Realm.
After all, this underworld is actually a world, so when the heaven and earth break apart, it will not be like those great avenues of heaven and earth such as the alternation of the seasons, which will still separate complete avenues for each domain.
The realm of heaven and earth, such as the alternation of day and night, the changing of seasons, the five elements of yin and yang, the sun, moon, stars, etc., although they are all split from the original avenue, the "Tao" is still a complete Tao, but there are differences in "quantity" weakened. It is precisely because of this that the realm after the division of heaven and earth can no longer bear the existence of true immortals and above. Earthly immortals are already the limit of what heaven and earth can bear.
The underworld is a world. Now the heaven and earth of the Yang world are collapsing, and what is formed can also be said to be a realm. In other words, it is not divided into complete underworlds and has complete reincarnation systems. Therefore, it can be said that since the heaven and earth collapsed, the real underworld no longer existed, and all that existed were broken nether realms.
As for it, without the underworld, it is not difficult to imagine what the dead souls in the world would be like over the past tens of thousands of years. There are only two endings, either turning into a resentful ghost, or losing one's soul when the time comes. In short, it actually doesn't have much impact on the world of the sun.
"It turns out that there is no hell and reincarnation anymore!"
Everyone gradually understood this on those display screens, and they all seemed a little hesitant for a moment. After all, in their three views, although no one can prove that people go to the underworld after death, it has always been generally recognized and even firmly believed. But now, they suddenly find that their destination after death no longer exists. Even if they are still alive, they can't help but feel that their outlook on life has been destroyed.
You must know that people in this world, whether they are secular mortals or these ascetics, have the habit of paying homage to the dead. In their three views, they believe that the souls of the dead will go to the underworld and be reincarnated through six reincarnations. This is a belief and a comfort.
Just like many people say that after their loved ones die, they will look at them in heaven and what a good life they will have in heaven. Although they may not really believe it, they can still comfort themselves with "just in case." If you know clearly that there is no such "what if", what else can you use to comfort yourself
Of course, among all the people, Ye Zan, who comes from the world of science and technology, naturally does not have so many emotions. What he is more concerned about now is where the Tianyu Dao Ancestor is hiding. Although the high-altitude detectors released have detected the entire space, there are still many places where the results cannot be detected.
Just like in the Summer Time Secret Realm, a large formation or a restriction may block the detection of the detector and form a blank area in the detection results. Now in this space, the detection results obtained by Ye Zan also have such blank areas. Maybe Yu Daozu was hiding in a certain blank area that day.
In addition, while detecting the spatial terrain, Ye Zan also detected the whereabouts of the three teams in front. Judging from the detection results, the three teams were walking in the same direction and entered the largest blank area one after another. And on the edge of the largest space area facing the Ghost Gate, there is a large city with the three characters "City of Wasted Death" written on the city gate.
There is a saying that goes, "The King of Hell wants you to die at the third watch. Who dares to leave someone alive until the fifth watch?"
It is said that there is a life and death book in the underworld, which will show the life span of all living beings in the world. When their life span is over, they will be locked away to the underworld by Yin. However, there are also some people who have not reached the end of their life span but die early due to various reasons. This is called unexpired life span. This kind of person is called a person who has died in vain. Since his life span has not yet expired and he cannot be reincarnated, he can only stay in the city of wasted death and wait until his life span is exhausted before he can enter the reincarnation.
Ye Zan told everyone about the whereabouts of the three teams in front, and unanimously decided to go to the City of Fusi to look for clues in the largest blank area. Of course, they have already made speculations about the largest blank area, which is probably where the real underworld is.
Ye Zan put away the field command vehicle, led everyone through the ruins of Guimen Pass, and walked out through another gate of Guimen Pass. Outside the city gate here is a long seemingly endless road, which seems to be the legendary Huangquan Road. As soon as everyone stepped out of the gate of Gumenguan and stepped on the ground of Huangquan Road, they immediately felt a huge pressure, making everyone feel as if they were carrying a thousand kilograms of weight in an instant.
This kind of pressure is not only heavy, but more importantly, it also suppresses the movement of everyone's magic power, which is equivalent to turning everyone into mortals with no cultivation. Not only those in the Yuan Shen realm such as Ye Zan and others, but also the external Yuan Shen energy supply systems of the Lin family siblings and Qi Qianjun, and the Yuan Shen energy core inside also stopped mana output.
