Netherworld

"Variable!"

"I have been sitting in the Netherworld for countless years, never expecting that things would change there now."

A strange look flashed in the old woman's weathered eyes.

She stretched out her withered, thin hands, which resembled dry tree branches, and began to calculate and deduce.

Suddenly, a mysterious fluctuation swept across heaven and earth, penetrating the depths of the netherworld.

"No, how come not a single Heavenly Secrets has been revealed?"

"Although my eyesight is failing, I shouldn't be mistaken about the energy within the netherworld."

Just as she was about to activate her supernatural powers and calculate again, her mind stirred.

The blood-red full moon in the sky instantly showered down streaks of scarlet moonlight.

When the moonlight fell on the old woman, red hairs suddenly sprouted from her flawless Dao Body.

Her once calm and world-weary eyes turned bloodshot, filled with endless madness and depravity.

"Damn it..."

After a long while, the old woman sighed softly.

She glanced warily at the blood-red full moon in the sky.

After letting out a muffled groan, he sat slumped back down on the dark wooden bridge.

He became one with the underworld.

It resembles mountain rocks.

However, he dared not use any more magical powers or supernatural abilities.

The Netherworld.

Red Moon hangs high in the sky.

In a secluded mountain cave.

Zhou Yuan sat cross-legged, his face deathly pale.

"Although we escaped the Tribulation of Slaughter unleashed by the Great Freedom Heavenly Son, the price we paid was truly considerable."

Zhou Yuan felt the Dao Injuries within his body and sighed inwardly.

This battle not only caused him to lose all the merits and good fortune he had painstakingly accumulated over the years, but also resulted in him suffering considerable injuries.

Without tens of thousands of years of recuperation, it is difficult to return to the right track.

Zhou Yuan surveyed the cave dwelling before him.

This cave was hastily constructed by him after he landed here, serving as a place to hide.

At this moment, the cave was filled with a chilling aura, exuding an atmosphere of death and decline.

Zhou Yuan activated his supernatural powers and calculated with his fingers.

Immediately, he captured streams of information from the Grand Void.

"The Netherworld."

"It's actually the Netherworld."

Even with Zhou Yuan's cultivation, he couldn't help but feel his mind and heart stirred at this moment.

Pangu's World Creation.

The Pure Qi of Heaven rises, while the turbid air of the earth descends.

Two more worlds were included within the Primordial Great World.

One of them is the Thirty-three Heavens.

The Celestial Realm was developed and conquered by the Primordial Divine Race in the Archaic Era.

Since the Three Sovereigns of antiquity, the Primordial Divine Race have used the Thirty-three Heavens as their main base, and have thus gained all the benefits.

Even though the Thirty-three Heavens had already been thoroughly plundered, it was still a place that many powerful beings in the Primordial World coveted.

After all, the sheer size of the Thirty-three Heavens is undeniable.

The Duobao it contains are countless.

However, since the Thirty-three Heavens are now occupied by the Demon Clan, even some powerful Dao Lords, though burning with desire, cannot show it.

The Demon Clan one emperor Three Sovereigns, making them four Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerate level beings.

Not to mention, there is also a group of Innate Dao Lord are in charge of the universe.

"But the Netherworld is not the same as the Thirty-three Heavens."

Zhou Yuan gazed at the pitch-black world.

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

"The Thirty-three Heavens were occupied by the Primordial Divine Race in the Archaic Era, and all the good things were taken by those old guys from the gods."

"But the Netherworld is different."

"In the ancient histories recorded in the celestial realm and Phoenix Perch Mountain, this place has never been revealed to the world."

"This means that this area of Tianyu is a virgin territory that has never been developed."

The value of a piece of Tianyu is truly immeasurable.

Zhou Yuan's gaze was deep and unfathomable, as various thoughts flashed through his Primordial Spirit Consciousness Sea.

He reached out slightly, and a precious banner, its surface blood-red and shimmering with golden light, came into his grasp.

It was the treasure he had once crafted, the Myriad Souls Banner.

After he attained enlightenment.

There is no need for the Myriad Souls Banner to guard the Heavenly Water Palace in the Thirty-three Heavens.

After all, the Innate Great Sage and the Innate Dao Lord are beings on two different levels.

Previously, Zhou Yuan, with his cultivation as Innate Great Sage, ruled over the Authority of Water Elements. Naturally, many old demons had objections. On the surface, they were wary of the two from Phoenix Perch Mountain and would not interfere casually.

But they can still manage to do it by using some underhanded tricks and schemes.

However, since Zhou Yuan attained enlightenment and obtained the Dao Fruit, he has become Great Divine Ability User.

The wind direction in the Thirty-three Heavens immediately changed.

You're kidding, that's a being of the level of a Great Divine Ability User.

The fact that they even bothered to take a liking to the Heavenly River Water God of the Demon Clan Heavenly Court, a position that was merely nominal, was already a great honor for Di Jun and the Three Sovereigns of the Demon Clan.

Still want to cause trouble for the Water Mansion?

He probably only had the idea in the morning, and by the afternoon he would have already been imprisoned in the Heavenly River Water Prison.

Looking at the Myriad Souls Banner in his hand, Zhou Yuan sighed inwardly:

'If it weren't for that wisp of extremely yin and nether energy I obtained when I was forging the Myriad Souls Banner that day.'

'A connection has been made with this celestial realm in some mysterious way.'

Having escaped from the clutches of that Great Freedom Heavenly Son, who knows where they'll be banished to by the River of Time?

He gently shook the Myriad Souls Banner.

Nüwa with a high ponytail and a menacing look in her eyes appeared in the void.

It was the Banner Spirit of the Myriad Souls Banner, the Nine Nether Profound Yin Su Nü.

"Greetings, Your Excellency."

Su Nu bowed respectfully.

The next moment, her big eyes suddenly lit up.

Here it is...

"This is the Netherworld."

"Speaking of which, this place can be considered your hometown."

He used the energy of the netherworld to forge the Myriad Souls Banner that day.

The Nine Nether Profound Yin Su Nü was born with the energy of the Netherworld, and in truth, she should belong to the lineage of ghosts and gods of the Netherworld.

No wonder I feel so close to this place.

"My lord, if I could cultivate here, I too could have the opportunity to attain the Dao of the Innate Dao Lord."

Su Nu's face flushed with excitement.

The moment she entered the Netherworld, she sensed the favor of its destiny.

Zhou Yuan was puzzled.

Does the Netherworld not possess its own spirits and deities?

How can a child born outside the Netherworld receive attention from the underworld?

He suppressed his doubts.

He instructed:

"This humble Daoist needs to retreat into seclusion for some time to cultivate."

"You shall carry the Myriad Souls Banner and explore outwards from this place as the center."

Having said that, he took out his treasured possession, the Nine-Section Bamboo Staff, and handed it to Su Nu, instructing her:

"As long as you don't encounter Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerate, this treasure can protect you completely."

Su Nu respectfully accepted the bamboo cane that Zhou Yuan handed over.

Then, eagerly, they looked out of the cave.

Zhou Yuan shook his head and chuckled:

"You may leave now."

Su Nu bowed respectfully, then rolled up the Myriad Souls Banner, which transformed into a streak of red light and flew out of the cave.

Zhou Yuan watched her departing figure.

He slowly closed his eyes.

The Netherworld...

We still need to explore this further.

Thinking back to when he first entered this world, those several waves of energy suddenly stopped.

Zhou Yuan frowned.

Quasi-Saint? Dao Lord?

Why did they suddenly stop using their supernatural powers?
