" The Ancient Star Road charts we found basically still reflect our understanding of the Netherworld from ten thousand years ago. In the last ten thousand years, the Netherworld has completely lost contact with the Pan Emperor Continent, so it is normal for its location to be somewhat off."

Don't worry, let's look carefully again, we're sure we'll find it.

Chen Mu wasn't too worried, because through comparing various sources, he knew that the Netherworld and Pan Emperor Continent were inextricably linked. The Netherworld would never stray too far from the Pan Emperor Continent; it was probably just that the spatial coordinates had shifted slightly due to the passage of time.

With Chen Mu's comforting words, Mingye felt much more at ease.

Instead of continuing their flight, the two circled the Netherworld coordinates on the Ancient Star Road map, hoping to find the entrance to the Netherworld nearby.

The Ancient Star Road map collected by Chen Mu extends outward from the Pan Emperor Continent as the center. However, the Pan Emperor Continent itself is very large, and there are no reference points in the void. Therefore, entering the void from different locations will cause deviations. This is something that cultivators need to explore on their own.

The search for the entrance to the Netherworld is not as easy as traversing the void.

Because entrances to different planes are usually accompanied by strange phenomena, Chen Mu would investigate any strange phenomena he saw in the void, and most of these phenomena turned out to be chaotic natural disasters.

Faced with the Chaotic Calamity, let alone Chen Mu is currently only at the Huai Saint Level, even a true Saint Level would perish under such divine might.

Three days later, Chen Mu spotted a bright light and pulled Mingye closer.

But he only got a tiny bit closer before he felt a terrifying surge of lightning power strike him.

"Go! It's a chaotic thunderstorm."

In the nick of time, Chen Mu pushed Mingye away, but his physical body then exploded.

" Chen Mu!"

Mingye shouted urgently.

However, in less than a breath, Chen Mu's figure reappeared not far away.

"I'm fine, let's go."

Chen Mu secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, his Runic Body possessed chaotic characteristics and had extremely tenacious vitality in the Chaotic Void; otherwise, this trip to find the Netherworld would have been truly dangerous.

Over the next two weeks, Chen Mu encountered several more dangers, but he managed to survive each one by relying on the powerful characteristics of his Runic Body.

A month and a half after they left Pan Emperor Continent, they finally found a spatial rift. Chen Mu and Mingye both sensed a trace of Death Spiritual Power emanating from the rift, indicating that this was very likely the entrance to the Nine Nether Netherworld.

"It's like searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly!"

We finally found this crack; it was truly a difficult journey.

Chen Mu had narrowly escaped death several times before finally finding this place, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

" Chen Mu, thank you, it's all because of me..."

Whenever danger arose, it was always Chen Mu who risked his life, which made Mingye feel somewhat guilty.

"Haha, alright, there's no need for us to say these things."

As Chen Mu spoke, he tightened his grip on Mingye's hand.

During this time alone together and through thick and thin, their feelings for each other deepened unintentionally.

Mingye didn't dislike Chen Mu's actions, but she felt slightly uncomfortable, since she had never been so close to a man before.

"Let's go in! I wonder if, after all these millennia, the Netherworld is still the same as it was once known on the Pan Emperor Continent."

Mingye stared at the spatial rift before him, his expression grave.

"Okay, once we're inside, we shouldn't make a scene. Let's find a place to hide first, and then slowly investigate your background."

Chen Mu offered a reminder, already having a plan in mind.

The two discussed for a while, and then Chen Mu began to construct the array to open up the spatial rift.

Whoosh... whoosh whoosh whoosh!

For Emperor Level cultivator, the energy in chaos can be absorbed and converted into the power they need. Therefore, Chen Mu's array does not need to worry about the lack of Spiritual Power. After he converts the chaotic energy into Spiritual Power, he can still activate his array.

With a loud boom, the spatial rift gradually expanded under the effect of the array, eventually transforming into a stable spatial channel.

"Let's go in together."

Chen Mu grabbed Mingye's hand, and together they flew into the spatial passage.

Not long after Chen Mu entered the spatial passage, he sensed something was wrong.

This world seemed extremely resistant to the entry of external forces. Chen Mu could feel his inner world gradually losing its connection with him, which greatly alarmed him.

For cultivators who create their own inner world, the inner world is their source of power. If they lose their inner world, they will be unable to draw power from chaos, and in this other world, they will be reduced to a mere mortal.

Chen Mu quickly stopped and looked at Mingye beside him. "My inner world seems to be suppressed by the Heavenly Dao here, what about yours?"

Me too.

Mingye replied immediately.

Chen Mu Muyuan thought that Mingye, being a member of the Nether Clan, might not be affected by the rules of this world, but he didn't expect that he was the same.

"Let's go! Let's get out of here first, then we'll think of something else!"

Chen Mu made a quick decision and immediately pulled Mingye back.

If they lost their cultivation, the two mortals in the other world would not only have difficulty finding their origins, but might even have difficulty surviving, so he had no reason to hesitate.

However, it was too late. Not long after Chen Mu and his companion turned around, a figure flew swiftly from a distance, blocking their retreat.

"Heh heh, two more suicide missions have arrived, and they're only Emperor Level brats at that."

After the figure stopped, an old man dressed in a gray robe revealed his true face.

The old man's appearance was not much different from that of a human, except that his ears were pointed and his skin was dark gray, clearly indicating that he, like Mingye, was a member of the Nether Clan.

However, when Mingye revealed his true form, his skin was purplish-gray, and he possessed a noble air compared to the old man.

" Saint Level cultivator? This is a huge problem!"

Chen Mu sensed with a slight movement that the other party was Saint Level cultivator, and it would obviously be extremely difficult to escape from the other party's grasp.

"Senior! I have only wandered into this place by mistake and had no intention of disturbing you."

We'll leave now, please make the arrangements.

Although Chen Mu did not understand the language of the Nether Clan, spiritual communication is universal across all realms, and can be easily achieved by any cultivator who has reached the Emperor Level or above.

"Haha, I don't care about any of that. Now that you're in, you're not leaving. Stay here and be my slaves!"

The old man from the Nether Clan laughed loudly, and with a wave of his hand, a terrifyingly large hand that blotted out the sky reached out to grab Chen Mu and his companion.
