Chapter 652 Into the Netherworld (2/2)

”Uncle Master.”

”Zhenren Shen.”

They greeted Shen Lian at the same time and could not hide their excitement. This trip to a whole new world was something that even the seniors from the previous era were not capable of.

Those who were accomplished would never want to just stay put in their current state.

Shen Lian nodded his head, but he did not take off immediately. Instead, he looked toward somewhere far far away. Shortly, a ray of clear light came charging towards them. Even Qing Xuan's Mountain Defense Formation was not capable of defending them from it.

The visitor was a handsome young Daoist.

Everyone besides Shen Lian was stunned and never expected him to show up.

This young man was no other than Song Qingyi.

He said, ”Brother Shen, would you bring me along?”

Song Qingyi's eyes were sincere although he did not explain his intentions. But Shen Lian knew better that Song Qingyi wanted to help him.

Shen Lian was moved but kept a cool and said, ”Sure.”

Song Qingyi laughed out loud and walked to the side of Shen Lian.

Shen Lian uttered nothing else. He drew out a bloody long sword and stabbed the void. Immediately, the void started to split open and was filled with surging Yin energy, stirring a storm in the void.

Shen Lian looked toward Qing Xuan Hall and saw Chen Jinchan bowed down to him. Qing Xuan was passed down throughout the generations and definitely needed someone to lead the school. Chen Jinchan naturally took on this responsibility.

Moreover, if there was any mishap in this trip, Chen Jinchan could still pass on the legacy of Qing Xuan. In general, Shen Lian had a lot of hopes for this disciple.

Shen Lian nodded his head, leaped towards the void and entered the opening. The fellow deities, too, followed behind him.

When Shen Lian and the fellow deities walked out of the opening, they arrived at the Netherworld. There was no sun nor moon at the Netherworld. It was pitched black with minimal light that lighted the bareness of this world.

Gusts of colorless Qi started to appear and wrapped around Shen Lian. This was the punishment by the laws of the Netherworld for bringing in a hundred thousand cultivators into the Netherworld.

But the current Shen Lian was able to withstand this backlash as he allowed this colorless Qi to infect his body. He then used his Primordial Spirit to refine this Qi and transfer the pure Qi of vitality into the painting of Mountains and Rivers of the God of Earth and Vale for the cultivators to absorb. With this mark of the Netherworld, they would not be infected by the laws.

However, Fahai and company did not have it easy. Their faces were slightly distorted as they were fighting against this strange force.

Shen Lian did not offer to help them. The Qi of vitality of heaven and earth in the Netherworld was not as vivacious as the Qi of vitality of the earth where Qing Xuan existed. Thus, the power of the different techniques and method would greatly decrease on this side of the world. But that was not exactly a bad thing.

As they were battling the determination of the Netherworld, they would also absorb the Qi of vitality of the Netherworld. When combined with the Pure Yang Primordial Spirit, the Primordial Spirit would become more condensed and bring benefits to their cultivation.

Of course, Shen Lian would help to stabilize their Primordial Spirit if the situation was too tough for them. However, the intention of honing their skills would not reach the maximum effect.

Fang Yanying was the most stable of them all. The Qi of vitality drilled into her body like a storm but she did not hesitate to refine it. She was like a sword that was sharpened by the Qi of vitality of the Netherworld. From time to time, she would release sword aura that could break the sky.

Song Qingyi and Fahai were second to Fang Yanying. The both of them eventually adapted to the torture and gradually kept their composure to start refining the Qi of vitality.
