Blood

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

I never thought that seeing things in the Netherworld Realm would be so difficult. After all, Meng Qingying seemed to travel to and from this world frequently, and she could do it with ease. Our group's cultivation is now far superior to Meng Qingying's in the past, so there shouldn't be any problems.

Thinking about it now, Meng Qingying's pale face and stern demeanor were likely caused by being in this kind of environment for a long time.

The lack of sunlight and the Ghost Qi atmosphere everywhere made it seem like the same old thing after a while... Luckily, she was naturally beautiful, which gave her a unique charm. If it were someone ugly, they would really look like a ghost after being in such an environment for so long.

Another crucial point is that Meng Qingying's eyes are fine; they are very bright and lively. Qin Yi felt that if someone had been unable to see for a long time and relied solely on other means of perception, their gaze should have become relatively dull, and they would unconsciously exhibit a habit of rarely using their eyes in the Main Plane.

But Meng Qingying's eyes were so lively, which must mean that she could see things normally normally.

From this perspective, Meng Qingying must be able to see normally here. This must be due to special Cultivation Method and a mutation in her physique. How she achieved this can perhaps be gleaned from her belongings.

Qin Yi took out Meng Qingying's blood-stained handkerchief.

It's alright, it's pitch black here, Senior Sister Qing Jun has no idea what he's doing...

As soon as the handkerchief was taken out, the bloodstains on it began to glow faintly. The glow quickly condensed into tiny specks, forming a very faint film of light in front of my eyes. Looking through this film, everything near and far was clearly visible, as if a person with severe nearsightedness were wearing glasses.

Qin Yi was overjoyed.

As expected, Qing Ying's physique must have undergone some kind of modification to fit this world, and her blood has this effect.

The joy lasted only a second before Qin Yi's expression froze.

I felt like I was being stared at on both sides of my face, and it burned with pain.

He stiffened his neck and looked around. "You... you can see too?"

"Thank you, thank you." Ju Yunxiu patted his shoulder kindly, squeezing out a few words through gritted teeth. "Good blood, good blood."

Qin Yi took a step back.

Li Qingjun, standing beside him, gripped his other shoulder, a half-smile playing on her lips, "Is this the foresight that our Grandpa Qin has in collecting these things?"

Qin Yi was drenched in sweat. "Unexpected, unexpected... Um, don't look at me, look away!"

The two knew this wasn't the time for infighting, so their amiable smiles turned serious, they glared at him fiercely, and said nothing more.

Turning to look around carefully, all three were surprised, putting aside their feelings about their children.

At this moment, everyone was floating in the void. There were no sun, moon, or stars above them; the sky was pitch black, and there was no light source whatsoever.

Before me were black clouds, the ghostly figures I'd sensed earlier swaying. Actually, these weren't clouds, but rather a collection of denser, Nether Qi. Essentially, they were the same monsters as those in the Blood Nether Realm, only less ferocious. Even their forms were slightly cuter. Furthermore, there was no malevolent sacrificial intent here, so they wouldn't swarm and attack.

However, if they get close, they will naturally be annihilated, their spiritual consciousness obliterated, resulting in the same outcome as those monsters.

At this moment, the "clouds" seemed to be avoiding Qin Yi's Buddhist beads, or perhaps his blood? In any case, they bypassed them, making their location in this "sky" appear as if it were a vacuum.

The "eyes" that I had vaguely sensed before were living beings.

The bird flying in the sky had a black body, or more accurately, a black iron sheen. Its black eyes, devoid of whites, stared intently at the three people, its gaze seemingly fixed on their eyeballs.

The Netherworld Iron Bird devours human eyeballs.

Of course, these iron birds also dared not approach the three of them, and all kept a safe distance.

The three of them ignored them and looked down.

This is a land with mountains and rivers. Below lies a vast expanse of land, complete with mountains and water, but it is deserted.

The soil was also black, making it look like a black world at first glance. Although there were few plants, there were some, and it wasn't completely bare. I don't know how the plants grew without any light.

The plant isn't just black; it comes in various colors, though the colors are rather strange. Most are neutral, but when there's red, it's an extremely vibrant, blood-red. The blue isn't sky blue or pale blue either; it's a deep, dark blue, almost purple.

No matter how bizarre it is, thanks to these colors, this plane comes to life a little, and finally feels like a place where people can live, instead of just black and white like an ink painting.

Qin Yi breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but say, "At first glance, I thought it was a traditional Chinese ink painting by my Senior Sister."

Ju Yunxiu shook her head. "Where would I get this skill? This is a very powerful plane, far superior to the painting world we are currently using."

"It's not necessarily that powerful," Qin Yi said. "We saw a corner of the Blood Nether Realm before, which shows that this plane is broken. This is probably just a corner as well. Since it can be artificially destroyed, it's definitely not as solid as the Main Plane. Even the Taiqing's attack on the Main Plane only managed to sever it horizontally... uh..."

"Transverse Rift Valley?" Li Qingjun asked in surprise, "Is that man-made, or a natural formation?"

"Yes, it was man-made."

Li Qingjun said, "That's still quite impressive. The Transverse Rift Valley is at least several thousand miles long and tens of thousands of feet deep, and I don't know its width yet... Anyway, given the strength of the Main Plane, to be able to fight like this is truly a miracle. Even Taiqing wouldn't be able to destroy the Main Plane; wouldn't that mean surpassing the Heavenly Dao?"

"Yes, that is indeed a power of creation," Qin Yi said. "Moreover, it might not have been a full-force attack; it could have been caused by a single blow."

"Why a stick? Because you use a stick?" Li Qingjun deliberately retorted, "Maybe it was cleaved in two with a single shot."

"Um..." Qin Yi paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered that Liusu might not actually be using a stick, and this Wolf Tooth Club might not be her weapon.

Although Liusu's era Dual Cultivation of Immortality and Martial Arts, Liusu's tone still revealed that she seemed to primarily focus on Technique Method. This was very evident when they first met; she wanted Qin Yi to use Martial Cultivation method, which was in line with her own habits.

This is a matter of personal preference, not a question of strength or weakness. Since it mainly uses Technique Method, it seems a bit incongruous to use a Wolf Tooth Club as a martial arts weapon... a sword is more likely.

If the Wolf Tooth Club wasn't its own, it's unlikely to belong to an enemy, otherwise its stubborn pride would have shown resistance and disliked Qin Yi using a club. Therefore, it's probably a friend or subordinate.

This Nose-Hole Person actually has friends... I wonder if his subordinates are all dead?

The thought flashed through Qin Yi's mind, but he didn't delve into it. Instead, he said, "The Myriad Phenomena Asura Sect should possess a path leading to the Netherworld, so this should be another corner of the Netherworld Realm, not connected to their side. The problem now is, we don't know if there are any other exit routes from here."

They planned to leave through the Netherworld Realm, not to stay here to cultivate, so their goal was to find another exit.

The World-Breaking Bomb given to us by Mo Wuzi have all been used up, so we can't break through the boundary anymore and can only find a way out. To be honest, even if we had those bombs, we might not be able to blow open this boundary.

In such a vast world, finding a passage to the outside world is like finding a needle in a haystack; it's extremely difficult.

Returning the way they came is definitely out of the question, as the likelihood of the Witch God Sect finding the tomb is extremely high. Chasing after them in such a vast, dark world is unrealistic, while setting traps at the crossroads is not difficult at all. Turning back would most likely be walking right into a trap.

Of course, exploring the secrets of a world is a very interesting thing in itself, and it's not a problem to stay here a little longer, as long as you don't get stuck here forever.

Ju Yunxiu then asked, "What's your idea?"

Qin Yi gazed at the mountains and rivers, pondering for a long while. "I think we should look for any creatures here that we can communicate with. It's quite possible that such creatures exist."

Ju Yunxiu looked at the surrounding dark clouds and nodded in agreement.

These dark clouds actually possess sentience, albeit at a relatively low level. If a more concentrated condensation of Nether Qi could be found, they would likely be beings capable of communication.

Just then, a faint streak of blood appeared ahead.

"Blood?" The three immediately perked up. "Let's go see!"
