Chapter 1592: Bring Me In

There was a huge castle ahead, with giant gates opened outward. The gates had huge rivets that were many miles long.

Standing in front of this giant gate, humans seemed as miniscule as ants. What was beyond the gates was shrouded in primal chaos. It was impossible to see anything inside.

The Gates of h.e.l.l did not have the guards of legend like the Ox-Head and Horse-Face. There was nothing around except primal chaos.

Just as Qu Jianying was not far from it, she saw two figures enter it, vanis.h.i.+ng within without a trace.

Due to the great distance, Long Chen hadn’t managed to see whether those two were human or some other species.

Suddenly, a figure appeared not far from Qu Jianying. It was a giant colorful tiger. When it pa.s.sed by Qu Jianying, it glanced at her and then ignored her, going straight into the gate.

Even its huge, mountain-like body was miniscule in front of the giant gates.

Qu Jianying hesitated for a moment before also entering.

Just at that moment, the vision faded. The dark aura vanished, and the sun appeared in the sky again.

Long Chen and the old man both took a deep breath. Only now did Long Chen realize he was covered in sweat.

The atmosphere of the Netherworld was too nerve-wracking.

“It really is a d.a.m.nable place.” The old man wiped some sweat off his forehead.

“Old man, why did the vision end? Did you run out of energy?” asked Long Chen. This memory was not complete.

“It’s not that I ran out of energy but that this memory was only this long. You might not know this, but it’s very difficult to remember anything about pa.s.sing through the Netherworld. Practically, everyone has their memories of that time stripped away by some mysterious energy. Jianying’s Spiritual Strength is exceptional, and I don’t know what technique she used to preserve some of her memories, but doing just that is already extremely heaven-defying. As for what’s behind that gate, even she is powerless to remember anything about it. However, this is already very helpful to me. Without it, I would probably fail to get past that bridge.”

The old man felt some lingering fear. Qu Jianying’s caution had just saved his life.

With the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect’s men’s characters, that bridge was too dangerous. At the very least, these memories had guaranteed his safety for the first part.

“When are you planning on attacking the Netherpa.s.sage realm?” asked Long Chen.

“I was interrupted this time, and seeing these memories has almost been an impact. Since I used up some of my life and death energy, I would need a month to recover to my peak state. I’ll only attempt it at that time.”

Activating the memories Qu Jianyinng had left behind had taken quite a bit of energy. The old man would need to fully recover before attempting his breakthrough.

“Then… can I discuss something with you?” probed Long Chen.

“What?”

“Well… I just want to ask, can you bring my Yuan Spirit with you when you make your breakthrough?”

“Are you insane?!”

The old man immediately jumped up. This brat really was crazy. Could someone come back alive from the Netherworld?

“Don’t panic just yet. I was thinking that I could have my Yuan Spirit enter your mind-sea. When you attack the Netherpa.s.sage realm, I’ll come along too. That way, I’ll be able to stroll around the Netherworld,” said Long Chen.

“Absolutely not! You saw how dangerous the Netherworld is. Your Yuan Spirit might be powerful, but you’re just at the Soul Transformation realm. What if some law exterminates you?” The old man shook his head vehemently. This brat’s guts were too big.

When attacking the Netherpa.s.sage realm, the body would die. However, there would be a small seed of life left behind. Without this seed, it would be impossible to return from the Netherworld. Only a Netherpa.s.sage expert who had succeeded would be able to return and activate the seed of life, completing a full nirvanic rebirth.

However, if you died in the Netherworld, that seed of life would vanish. That was true death.

Long Chen’s method might sound plausible in theory, but it was definitely impossible in reality. Who knew what would happen?
