Earth Soul Clan

The Yellow Spring Toad is very fast.

After entering the Netherworld, they rushed off in one direction.

Each time it leaps, it soars hundreds of feet high before landing smoothly.

With this continuous leaping, it arrived at the outskirts of a city in less than two days.

The city looked rather rudimentary, somewhat resembling a primitive tribe.

The city wall was made of huge stones. There was no gate at the entrance, only a huge stone placed to the side with a few words written crookedly on it.

Those must be the script of the Netherworld, which Lin Mu didn't recognize.

The Yellow Spring Toad then said, "This is the Nether Pool City, and the Nether Pool is located in the southwest of the town!"

"Yes!" Lin Mu nodded slightly.

"I'll teach you a Shapeshifting Technique that will allow you to transform into one of my people!" said the Yellow Spring Toad.

"Okay!" Lin Mu nodded.

The Yellow Spring Toad gestured with its finger in the air, and a message entered Lin Mu's mind.

The so-called Shapeshifting Technique is nothing more than a few tricks that can temporarily change Lin Mu's Divine Soul form.

After observing the Shapeshifting Technique, the system voice sounded, and Lin Mu received a critical hit of several hundred times, with a large number of memories flooding his mind.

Following the instructions of the Shapeshifting Technique, Lin Mu mastered it in just over ten minutes.

His Divine Soul transformed quickly into the form of a half-human, half- Toad creature with uneven, somewhat disgusting skin.

Lin Mu frowned slightly, somewhat dissatisfied with his transformed appearance.

He pondered for a moment, then adjusted his Shapeshifting Technique, causing some changes in his physique.

Soon his skin developed slight bumps and unevenness, but overall it looked quite natural.

Although it was obvious at a glance that he was Toad, he wasn't as disgusting as before.

The Yellow Spring Toad's eyes were filled with horror upon seeing this scene.

It didn't expect that Lin Mu could master the art of transformation so quickly and even change it according to his own ideas.

"What terrifying talent! It took me several hours to learn the art of transformation back then, and I still couldn't do it as freely as he does!" Yellow Spring Toad thought to himself.

It felt a surge of curiosity about Lin Mu.

Is this human being truly special?

If that's true, then it's not impossible for it to submit to him.

After all, the legends of the Nether Emperor from back then are still circulating today.

"Let's go!" Lin Mu said calmly.

The Yellow Spring Toad nodded slightly.

Walk forward.

Upon entering the Nether Pool City, one finds that most of the Netherworld Creatures have undergone human transformation.

Otherwise, some of the Netherworld Creatures are so large that they would not be able to enter the city at all.

The Nether Pool City felt extremely rudimentary, with small vendors selling unknown items on the streets on both sides.

The internal organs of some Netherworld Creatures were also displayed at the stall.

These small vendors possessed considerable power; almost none of them were weaker than the Yellow Spring Toad.

"The Netherworld is a very special place. Here, the strong rule and there is no such thing as Order!"

"Before the Nether Emperor descended, this place was even more chaotic, just like a primitive society!"

"After he descended to the Netherworld, he brought some things from the Mortal World here, and the Netherworld gained some Order!"

"Although he has been gone for many years, these Order still operate in the Netherworld. However, in this environment, absolute force is still needed to make them completely obey the Order!" the Yellow Spring Toad said in Lin Mu's ear.

There was a hint of surprise in Lin Mu's eyes.

These places, which look somewhat similar to the Mortal World, were actually brought by the Nether Emperor.

That person is truly remarkable, able to establish such Order in such an environment.

One can imagine how much the Nether Emperor did and sacrificed in this world back then.

"Where did these Netherworld Creatures come from?" Lin Mu asked.

"Most of them are native to this world, and some come from the Mortal World! After you humans and Fierce Beast die, you will enter the Netherworld! Affected by the cycle of reincarnation in the Netherworld, you will go to another world!" the Yellow Spring Toad explained.

"Another world?" Lin Mu's face showed a hint of doubt.

"I don't know the specifics, because the Netherworld has had its own set of rules since its inception. These rules guide the dead through reincarnation, but the place of reincarnation is not the Mortal World!" said the Yellow Spring Toad.

Lin Mu looked slightly surprised.

He never imagined that the Netherworld would be so mysterious.

Another world?

What world?

Could there be other worlds beyond this one?

Lin Mu felt it was somewhat absurd.

But the Netherworld is indeed very special.

It is out of step with the Mortal World, yet it is inextricably linked to Mortal World.

The two figures walked forward.

Before long, they arrived at the location of the Nether Pool.

The so-called Nether Pool is a pool that covers an extremely large area.

It's equivalent to most of the Nether Pool City.

The water in the Nether Pool is jet black, and it is surrounded by Stone Platforms.

In the very center of the Nether Pool is a huge Stone Tablet.

There are some names on the Stone Tablet.

To Lin Mu's surprise, the characters on the Stone Tablet were in the language of the Mortal World, not the language of the Netherworld.

"Was this Stone Tablet left by the Nether Emperor?" Lin Mu asked.

"Hmm! There are at least ninety-nine such Nether Pool in the Netherworld, and this one is considered relatively small!" said the Yellow Spring Toad.

"Ninety-nine seats!" Lin Mu's eyes showed surprise.

"Yes! It is said that as long as one can persist for three days in each of the ninety-nine Nether Pool, one can establish a connection with the Nether Emperor and meet him. However, no one has been able to do so so far!" said the Yellow Spring Toad.

"Why?" Lin Mu asked.

"Ninety-nine Nether Pool, varying in size, but no matter who it is, once they have been cleansed by one, the aura of the Nether Pool will remain on their Divine Soul. The next time they enter a new Nether Pool, the pain they suffer will be doubled!"

"How terrible is the pain that the ninety-nine Nether Pool will ultimately bring? Even the Lord of the Underworld River cannot endure it!"

"Moreover, of the ninety-nine Nether Pool, no one knows where the last nine are!" said the Yellow Spring Toad.

Lin Mu frowned slightly.

He always felt that the Nether Emperor must have some purpose in doing so many things.

"Is the establishment of ninety-nine Nether Pool for selecting successors, or is there some other plan?" Lin Mu wondered to himself.

Without giving it much thought, he looked toward the Nether Pool.

He could clearly see that there were many wronged souls wandering in the Nether Pool, and the water in the pool looked extremely murky.

It's like a pot of thick soup, containing some unknown substance.

Once you enter it, you will be affected.

Just as Lin Mu was about to investigate, several figures walked towards them.

Some of the Netherworld Creatures cried out in alarm.

"It's Young Master Long of the Nether Dragon Clan, he's here again!"

"I heard she wants to marry Mingyue Bing. Didn't she say she would only follow someone who can obtain Hundred-Zhang Soul Radiance from the Nether Pool?"

"Young Master Long is really persistent; this is his thirtieth challenge already!"

"There's no other way. Mingyue Bing is the inheritor of the Earth Soul Clan. Not only is she beautiful, but she also has many tricks up her sleeve. If we can marry her, any member of the Underworld Clan can take off!"

"It's a pity that the Nether Pool is too painful; it's simply not something that ordinary creatures can endure. Otherwise, I would have given it a try!"
