Chapter 194 - Chapter 194: Chapter 194: Catastrophe of the Netherworld (2/2)
Elder Yu looked at the two, taunting with a smile,
“I think you definitely don’t know either, so let me tell you…”
“Mhm, mhm…” both of them nodded eagerly.
Then Elder Yu continued,
“Because…”
“In our Southern Nether Region, the most abundant are not cultivators or mortals, but yin spirits…”
“The yin spirits of the entire Southern Nether Region outnumber cultivators by tens of times…”
“Ah…”
“How could this be…”
“How come I’ve never heard of this before…”
Huang Qingling was extremely surprised, and even Lin Jing was dumbstruck.
Yin spirits…
They are what cultivators or living beings turn into when they die.
The conditions for the formation of yin spirits are exceptionally strict, ordinary cultivators or living beings when they die,
usually do not turn into yin spirits.
Only those beings with particularly deep grudges or obsessions have a certain chance of becoming yin spirits upon death.
Of course…
There are also some special places, or methods, that can forcibly transform the deceased into yin spirits.
And the strength of yin spirits is not weak.
Especially those cultivators who were quite powerful in life, once they become yin spirits, they will be even stronger than before.
So, some cultivators think of using evil methods to kill other cultivators and then try to turn them into yin spirits.
Afterward, they attempt to control these yin spirits to become a means for their own battles.
But, yin spirits are not easy to control.
And once their master is injured and their control diminishes, yin spirits might turn on their master at any moment.
So, gradually…
Not many people thought of raising yin spirits anymore.
“Elder Yu…”
“You say there are so many yin spirits in the Southern Nether Region, why have we never seen them?”
Huang Qingling asked, puzzled, turning her question to Elder Yu.
Elder Yu looked at Huang Qingling and replied,
“Of course you wouldn’t see them, because these yin spirits are all trapped in the same place…”
Huang Qingling exclaimed in surprise,
“Ah…”
“There’s such a place that can trap yin spirits?”
Elder Yu responded,
“Of course, and this place is the Barren Forbidden Zone…”
“It was only on this trip back for my report that I learned of this matter, which is probably hard to know unless one reaches the Golden Core Stage.”
“Ah…”
Then, Elder Yu sighed.
Continuing, he said,
“I also found out by perusing the ancient records left in the Yiyun Pavilion…”
“The area where we live doesn’t even account for one-tenth of the entire Southern Nether Region.”
“Because over ninety percent of the Southern Nether Region has turned into the Barren Forbidden Zone.”
“It is said that in the ancient era, who knows how many tens of thousands of years ago…”
“An accident occurred in our Cultivation World, and a primordial evil creature from somewhere broke through the realm barrier and fell into the Cultivation World…”
“Coincidentally, this primordial evil creature landed directly above the Southern Nether Region…”
“It was that terrible thing that turned over ninety percent of the Southern Nether Region directly into the Barren Forbidden Zone…”
“And under the shroud of that evil creature, all the beings in over ninety percent of the Southern Nether Region perished in an instant.”
“You must know, that is over ninety percent of the Southern Nether Region, with hundreds of billions of lives…”
“All died in that catastrophe…”
“Only a few extremely lucky cultivators with special methods barely escaped from that disaster.”
“The most terrifying part is…”
“All those beings, without exception, were turned into yin spirits by that primordial evil creature.”
“And…”
“After becoming yin spirits…”
“These yin spirits are forever barred from reincarnation, only to be endlessly controlled by that evil creature…”
