Shen Luo thought to himself, That is indeed a problem.
With his current strength, supported by the Heavenly Register and the Linglong Pagoda, he could contend with a mid-stage Taiyi Realm cultivator. At worst, he could always preserve his own life. But if he encountered a late-stage Taiyi Realm powerhouse, whether he could escape at all would be a question.
"Do you know of any way to bypass the Demon Clan stationed here and enter Purgatory directly?" Shen Luo asked, staring at the man in blue.
"Well..." The man in blue hesitated.
"Speak." Shen Luo's expression turned cold as he said sharply.
"Reporting to Immortal Master, it is not impossible to avoid the Demon Clan and enter Purgatory directly. However, that route is exceedingly dangerous, no less perilous than confronting the Demon Clan head-on. It might even... might even be worse than fighting our way in directly," the man in blue said hurriedly, trembling.
"Tell me about it. How dangerous is it?" Shen Luo pressed.
"You may not know this, Immortal Master, but besides Yellow Springs Road at the end of the Nether River, there is another special place in the Underworld called the Hell Maze. As long as one can safely pass through that maze, one can reach Purgatory. But the maze is fraught with dangers. If one does not know the proper route and barges in blindly, it truly is a dead end. Moreover, even if one passes through it, one arrives at the eighteenth level of Purgatory. Once inside, getting back out will be difficult," the man in blue said bitterly.
Upon hearing this, Shen Luo could not help but knit his brows tightly.
If things were truly as this man described, taking that route might really be less straightforward than fighting all the way in through
