Straight into the Netherworld to Meet Pingxin of the Earthly Dao
Having figured all this out, Ye Xuan returned to Chaoge in a flash.
Reaching his level of understanding, one can reach the ends of the earth in the blink of an eye.
Upon returning to Chaoge, Ye Xuan immediately had Wushuang summon Wen Zhong Grand Tutor Wen.
"Grand Tutor Wen, the reason I summoned you here is to inquire whether you have any means to enter the Nine Nether Underworld."
Upon hearing this, Grand Tutor Wen Zhong slightly.
"Does Your Majesty wish to enter the Nine Nether Underworld?"
"The Nine Nether Underworld is the place of reincarnation for all living beings in the Primordial World, hidden deep within the Nine Netherworlds, the deepest part of the Primordial World land."
"Its yin soil harbors many evil energies, and few people, except the dead, are willing to come into contact with it."
"Does Your Majesty wish to enter that cycle of reincarnation? This is no laughing matter. This old minister advises Your Majesty to abandon this idea."
"Any mishap to His Majesty would be a catastrophic disaster for the Human Clan at this time."
Ye Xuan nodded.
"It's not that I want to enter the Netherworld, but that the Human Dao Saint wants to enter Netherworld. Just tell me how to enter the cycle of reincarnation!"
Seeing that the Human Emperor was determined to do so, Wen Zhong Grand Tutor Wen could only shake his head helplessly.
"Your Human Emperor, to enter the Netherworld, one must first enter the Underworld itself."
"The Underworld is hidden deep underground, on the banks of the Yellow Springs. No one knows its exact location, because the banks of the River of the Yellow Springs are constantly changing."
"To enter the Netherworld, Your Majesty needs the Netherworld God's permission; only then can you enter."
Hearing this, Ye Xuan nodded.
During the Witch-Demon War.
The Demon Clan was completely defeated and scattered across the Primordial World land.
The Witch Clan was also Earthly Dao wiped out, and they were taken to the Netherworld by the Empress Pingxin.
They changed the Witch Clan to the Nether Clan.
From then on, he lived in the Nether Underworld.
The so-called City God is actually the representative of the Nether Clan in the Primordial World land.
"In that case, you should make the arrangements as soon as possible."
"Tonight, the Human Dao Saint will enter the Netherworld."
"There's an urgent matter to arrange; there can be no delays."
Upon hearing this, Wen Zhong Grand Tutor Wen naturally made the arrangements himself.
In fact, he was able to guess some of the inside story.
Perhaps the Human Dao Saint wanted to meet the Empress Pingxin Earthly Dao.
That very evening, Ye Xuan, Human Dao Saint, appeared near the City God Temple.
The City God, naturally filled with trepidation, came forward to kneel and pay his respects.
"City God of the Underworld pays homage to the Human Dao Saint!"
Ye Xuan looked at the City God before him, a strange look in his eyes.
This City God is truly terrifying in appearance.
They were much taller than ordinary Human Clan, standing at over three meters tall.
With a gaping mouth and fangs, and an ugly appearance, perhaps this City God is actually a true Witch Clan.
It was a well-known fact in the Primordial World that the male members of the Witch Clan were extremely ugly, while the female members were beautiful.
"City God, please excuse the formalities. This holy being is about to enter the Netherworld. I wonder if the City God could grant me this favor?"
Ye Xuan got straight to the point.
The City God nodded in agreement.
"Wen Zhong have already informed the humble one today, and I have also notified the Underworld. All that is required is for the Saint to follow me."
Ye Xuan nodded immediately.
Passing through the entrance of the City God Temple, one enters directly into the realm of the Netherworld.
The moment he entered the Nether Underworld, he was greatly surprised.
A strong, pungent smell of blood rushed towards them, and even Ye Xuan, caught off guard, was choked by the aura and coughed a few times.
The entire space was barren, devoid of any vegetation except for those terrifying and eerie stones.
In addition, the depths of the Underworld were trembling constantly, as if roars were coming from all directions.
A chilling and terrifying aura permeated the Underworld, truly sending shivers down one's spine.
In addition, an unparalleled heat aura surged from the depths of the earth, making it a veritable inferno of fire.
The only thing left were those lonely, wandering ghosts that had transformed into spirits.
These Chaos and lost souls wander aimlessly here, with nowhere to settle.
Upon seeing this, Ye Xuan couldn't help but frown slightly.
This was clearly very different from the Netherworld he had imagined.
In his mind, the Netherworld should be the Ten Yama Kings, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, Black and White Impermanence, and various judges, etc.
However, the Netherworld was clearly in complete chaos at this time. Could it be that the Empress Houtu had only created the Underworld and the Six Paths of Reincarnation?
But the true underworld is not yet complete?
If that's the case, it might actually be a great stroke of luck for him.
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan revealed a faint smile.
It seems this trip to the Underworld will be very fruitful.
The City God led him on his journey, and what he saw and heard along the way allowed him to see the true nature of the Underworld.
The Underworld is indeed the place of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, but a specific order has not yet been established.
Countless wandering spirits were merely drawn there by the unseen power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
As for when one will truly be able to step into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, that remains to be seen.
This is probably the fundamental reason why the Empress Pingxin Earthly Dao not escape the Netherworld.
After a long while, they finally arrived at an incredibly eerie place.
Ahead lay a vast, boundless river of crimson blood.
The blood-red river surged with towering waves.
A wave of stench of blood washed over them, causing even Ye Xuan to turn pale.
A desolate and boundless atmosphere also rushed towards us.
The blood-red river was whipped into towering waves by an invisible gale.
Countless skeletons were swept up by the giant waves and crashed against the boulders on the riverbank, creating a truly terrifying sight.
Ye Xuan was horrified by the terrifying sight.
Perhaps this is the legendary Netherworld Yellow Springs?
Just as Ye Xuan was in a daze...
A woman gracefully approached from afar.
Ye Xuan sensed an incredibly heavy and powerful aura emanating from this woman.
His pupils narrowed slightly.
The person who has arrived may very well be the Earthly Dao Saint, Empress Pingxin.
The person was a woman who appeared to be in her early twenties.
She was dressed in black, with a voluptuous and shapely figure.
Those graceful curves seem to be the most perfect reason in the world.
Her appearance is equally stunning.
Her eyebrows were as beautiful as willow branches and clouds.
Her incredibly bright eyes accentuated a unique and composed beauty.
Her cherry-like lips were incredibly full and sensual.
Her features are perfect, blending together in just the right way, making her stunningly beautiful.
Indeed, every sip and every bite is preordained by Heaven.
This woman's ability to become Earthly Dao Saint is indeed due to her unique qualities.
Looking at Houtu before him, Ye Xuan thought of Nuwa.
Neither of these two women from the Primordial World Era was an easy opponent.
One is Heavenly Dao Sage, and the other is Earthly Dao Saint; perhaps these two women are the most outstanding women in the Primordial World.
Even when Ye Xuan saw Houtu, he couldn't hide the amazement in his eyes.
Upon seeing the woman arrive, Ye Xuan took a breath.
"Wuming, I have met the Pingxin Empress Houtu."
Pingxin glanced at Ye Xuan calmly.
A strange, enigmatic glint flashed in his eyes.
"The Human Dao Saint is right; indeed, seeing is believing."
"Having only been a saint for a short time, he first fought Zhunti, then Yuanshi, and held his own against these Heavenly Dao Sages. He is truly extraordinary."
Perhaps because one of them was Human Dao Saint and the other Heavenly Dao Sage, Houtu felt quite close to Ye Xuan.
Hearing Pingxin's flattery, Ye Xuan smiled slightly and remained silent.
Houtu looked at Ye Xuan in front of her, a faint look of doubt flashing in her eyes.
"You are Human Dao Saint, what brings you to this Nether Underworld?"
Ye Xuan took a deep breath.
"Pingxin Empress Houtu, the reason Wuming has come here is due to a matter of immense karmic debt. I wonder if Your Majesty dares to accept it?"
Upon hearing this, Houtu's pupils contracted slightly.
"A tremendous cause and effect?"
"What a boastful tone you have, Human Dao Saint! I wonder what karma you have accumulated?"
Houtu's brow furrowed slightly.
The Human Dao Saint seems to be making a bit too grandiose claims.
Seeing that Houtu didn't seem to believe him, Ye Xuan smiled slightly.
