The Netherworld Underworld!

Avici Hell.

This is the lowest level of the Underworld, the deepest Hell.

Some ghosts and spirits who are unfamiliar with the Underworld often mistakenly believe that the lowest level of Hell Underworld Abi Hell, or even that Abi Hell is the same as the Avici Hell.

But...

That's not actually the case.

The Avici Hell is the Avici Hell, Abi Hell is the Abi Hell; the two cannot be equated.

The Avici Hell is the highest level of Hell, and also the lowest level of the Underworld.

Unlike other Hell with their various painful punishments and torment by demons, Avici Hell is empty.

The kind of emptiness where there's nothing there.

The ghosts that fall into this Avici Hell are all those whose karma is so thick that the previous levels of Hell could not dissipate it.

Once they fall into this Avici Hell, the ghosts will not be subjected to any punishment here.

They would be physically restricted and unable to move, placed in this Avici Hell where nothing exists, not even color or light.

Tens of thousands of years? Hundreds of thousands of years? Millions of years?

No!

It won't be such a short time.

Those who suffer in the Avici Hell never die; their long lifespan is the greatest calamity in the Avici Hell!

The souls and spirits that fall into this Avici Hell will exist there forever.

He could think but couldn't sleep, he could be hungry but couldn't eat, he could see but couldn't move, he had companions beside him but didn't know them, and there was never any hope.

Forever alone in this Avici Hell, until the world is destroyed, reincarnation collapses, and the Underworld falls into eternal silence, he will turn to ashes along with the Underworld.

Logically speaking...

Those who fall into this Avici Underworld will be trapped in the state described above, even if they are ghosts or gods from the Underworld who mistakenly enter it.

But...

Today, this Avici Underworld welcomes some of the most special guests since its inception—guests who can move freely within its Avici Underworld.

"This must be the lowest level of Hell Underworld!"

The Holy Mother Jinling spoke softly, her gaze sweeping around, a hint of surprise in her eyes as she looked at the desolate Avici Hell.

Although the Avici Hell is said to be terrifying and ferocious, no matter how wondrous or fierce it may be, it cannot withstand the Hell of a Quasi-Sage.

A quick glance.

The Holy Mother Jinling then took in everything in this Avici Hell, and at the same time, she also understood the mysteries of this Avici Hell.

"The Avici Hell, where suffering is endless, the body is without end, time is without pause, and form is without respite— the Avici Hell, indeed, is a fitting name!"

A slight chill ran through the Holy Mother Jinling's heart.

They descended from the highest level of the Underworld, naturally taking in all the Hell.

Although the punishments were terrifying, Jinling was confident in her unwavering resolve; she could endure any torture, but this Avici Hell...

Jinling, however, had no confidence whatsoever.

Ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years, or even millions or tens of millions of years— Jinling might not care, but this kind of punishment, devoid of any hope and almost eternal, is unbearable.

Jinling didn't know if she could handle it, but she definitely didn't want to try.

"Jinling, what are you saying!" Bixiao asked Jinling curiously from the side.

Yunxiao and Qiongxiao were equally curious.

While Quasi-Sage -level Jinling can see through this Avici Hell, it doesn't mean that Daluo Golden Immortal -level Three Xiaos can.

This is a terrible thing.

Because...

The fact that the Three Xiaos could not see through this Avici Hell means that this Avici Hell probably has the ability to imprison Daluo Golden Immortal.

Jinling told the Three Xiaos about the Avici Hell, and immediately, the Three Xiaos showed a look of disgust.

Looking into the empty, Avici Hell around him, the curiosity he had shown before was gone, replaced by a deep sense of dread.

This was a look of fear they had never seen in any of the other Hell they had passed through on their journey.

Although the scenes of torture in those layers of Hell struck their hearts and made them feel suffocated and uncomfortable.

But the Daluo Golden Immortal transcend the River of Space and Time; they know that although the punishments of Hell are terrifying, they pose no threat to them.

But this Avici Hell... can imprison even Daluo Immortal.

Just imagining what it would be like to fall into this Avici Hell, the Three Xiaos could imagine the utter despair that would ensue under the torment of endless years.

Guiling did not participate in the interaction between Jinling and the Three Xiaos, although she also felt a slight chill towards the Avici Hell.

But she showed no fear whatsoever about her upcoming journey to the Avici Hell.

After all, no matter how cruel this Avici Hell may be, it will never be her turn.

Whether it was her Quasi-Sage cultivation level or the existence of her master and senior brothers, she had the absolute confidence to disregard this Avici Hell.

Not to mention...

The Guiling's gaze was fixed on the deepest level of the Avici Hell.

She sensed that the strange coordinates that Lady Pingxin had given her earlier were here.

No, to be precise.

It must be beneath this Underworld, the Avici Hell.

"Jinling, Yunxiao, Bixiao, Qiongxiao... I've found the way. Get ready, we're going down."

Guiling's voice deepened as he spoke.

Along the way, although the cruel scenes of Hell were deeply moving, if this was the test prepared by her master...

That's too simplistic.

So...

Guiling boldly guessed that what followed was probably just the beginning of the real test.

When they shared their guesses with Jinling Three Xiaos, the four women all nodded in agreement with Guiling's conjecture.

Then, including Guiling, all five women seriously prepared their defenses, their expressions solemn as they prepared to face the upcoming test.

Then...

The Guiling opened its inner world, enveloping the Jinling and the Three Xiaos within it, and then directly pierced through the Avici Hell before it.

Heading towards the coordinates, we traversed the area.

It's no wonder that it's considered by many Underworld spirits and deities to be the lowest level of the Underworld, the Avici Hell!

Even using the Guiling Great Dao of the World traversal method, the difficulty of traversing through the Avici Hell increased dramatically in an instant.

Not only was the void as hard as celestial gold and divine iron, but... even the entire void seemed to be repelling her.

They wanted to push her back into the Avici Hell.

This was something Guiling had never experienced before, ever since Guiling embarked on the Great Road of the Great Dao of the World.

Whether it's the void or the world, she has never felt the slightest bit of this kind of rejection from anything that can be associated with the world.

"Keep going... just a little bit more..."

Guiling gritted his teeth, channeling his Quasi-Sage Law Power to its limit, continuously pouring it into the Great Dao of Space and Time and Space above his head and the projection of the Middle Thousand World his body.

Head towards that coordinate location.

The moment it leaped out of the Avici Hell, the Guiling could no longer perceive its surroundings.

Only this coordinate.

It was like a guiding light in her heart, illuminating her path forward.

It's not just the Guiling.

Meanwhile, Jinling and the Three Xiaos, who were in the Guiling World Domain, were not having an easy time either.

Even Guiling, the instigator, lost all sight the moment he passed through the Avici Hell, and Jinling was no exception.

As for the Three Xiaos of Sanxiao, who had already lost sight in the Avici Hell, let's not mention them...

Three Xiaos: "..."

Although the pressure of traversing this void rests entirely on Guiling, it doesn't mean that Jinling and the Three Xiaos have it easy.

On the contrary.

Although Jinling and the Three Xiaos were all in the World Domain of the Guiling, the oppressive force of the surrounding void was no less.

The Three Xiaos were alright; even though the surrounding oppressive force was extremely terrifying, they could still circulate their Law Power and use their Divine Ability abilities to protect themselves.

The Divine Ability unleashed by the three Daluo Golden Immortal were not enough to affect the Guiling.

But Jinling is different.

Even though Jinling deliberately restrained himself and wouldn't target Guiling, Jinling Quasi-Sage powerhouse like Guiling Ling.

If one were to activate the Great Dao and unleash Divine Ability to protect oneself within this World Domain, it would inevitably have a significant impact on the Guiling.

At this point, one shouldn't be able to help the Guiling anyway, but at the very least, one shouldn't hinder the Guiling.

This is Jinling's current thought.

Forced to endure the oppressive force emanating from the surrounding void, Jinling could only continuously circulate her Law Power to maintain her body.

However, the oppressive force around them was growing stronger over time, and even with the willpower of Jinling Quasi-Sage, it was difficult to maintain the expression on his face.

He couldn't help but reveal a look of distress.

Meanwhile, the Three Xiaos of Sanxiao, under this increasingly terrifying pressure, were on the verge of losing even their Divine Ability Great Dao.

Its condition is not even as good as Jinling's at this time.

Ultimately, there is a significant gap between Daluo Golden Immortal and Quasi-Sage.

Jinling circulated her Law Power, struggling to resist the oppressive force around her. This feeling reminded her of what she had experienced in the Nine Provinces of the Jinling Human Race.

That was after she became Quasi-Sage, out of curiosity, she and the Guiling went to a prosperous city of the Human Race.

Even now, Jinling still vividly remembers the prosperity of the ancient Human Race city that spanned hundreds of millions of miles and housed hundreds of millions of Human Race.

But also...

The power of that Nine Provinces Barrier was something Jinling would never forget in his life.

With his Quasi-Sage level Law Power, he was suppressed in that city to a degree that was probably far inferior to even the Heavenly Immortal in the Primordial World.

That level of Law Power almost couldn't even support her Quasi-Sage body.

And the feeling now is very similar to that time.

However, the Human Race's Nine Provinces Barrier power was more targeted at Law Power and the Great Dao, while the oppressive force at this moment was only aimed at the physical body.

Only...

Jinling wondered if it was just her imagination.

Guiling had a feeling, or rather an intuition, that even if she were to circulate her magic Law Power and use her Divine Ability abilities to protect herself, she probably still wouldn't be able to reduce the pressure much.

"Just a little longer, we'll be there soon."

The Guiling's voice echoed throughout the World Domain.

Jinling and the Three Xiaos were all within the Guiling's World Domain, and their appearance naturally did not escape the Guiling's eyes.

But at this point, the Guiling had no other option but to increase its efforts and reach the coordinates as quickly as possible.

The oppressive force of the surrounding void was extremely strange, and even her World Domain could not isolate it.

It's important to understand that although it's called the World Domain, this domain is actually a true projection of the world within the Guiling's body.

Being in this domain is no different from being inside the Guiling's inner world.

But even her current Middle Thousand World cannot hinder this strange, oppressive force of the void in the slightest.

"Is this the test?"

Guiling persevered with difficulty, but a sliver of understanding seemed to emerge in his heart. His gaze turned towards the direction of the faint coordinates in the distance, and his resolve strengthened even further.

However...

"My silly apprentice! How can you believe everything people say? Where has your usual cleverness gone?!"

Ao Changsheng's avatar, in the Realm of Reincarnation, watched the actions of Guiling, Jinling, and the Three Xiaos, covering his face with a look of utter helplessness.

Beside Ao Changsheng, the Sage Pingxin wore a bright smile.

"Fellow Daoist Changsheng, this is unreasonable. The coordinates I provided are correct."

"The Authority of Reincarnation is located at the center of reincarnation. As soon as you arrive, you can immediately begin to merge with the Authority of Reincarnation, saving you time and effort!"

"Yes! It saves time and effort, but it doesn't save energy."

Ao Changsheng glanced at Pingxin.

That old hag is really wicked.

Just as Pingxin said, the coordinates she gave Guiling were not wrong; the center of reincarnation was the place where the Authority of Reincarnation resided.

Even if he, Pingxin, and Heavenly Dao Hongjun each merged with a portion of the Authority of Reincarnation, the true Authority of Reincarnation always resides at the center of reincarnation.

Once the Guiling enters the center of reincarnation, Ao Changsheng can begin to transfer the Authority of Reincarnation to the Guiling.

But...

Just as the literal meaning suggests.

The center of reincarnation is the center of the Realm of Reincarnation.

With the help of the Guiling's Great Dao of the World, as long as Pingxin and does not obstruct, it is not difficult to travel from the Netherworld Underworld to the Realm of Reincarnation.

But if they wanted to go directly from the Netherworld Underworld to the center of reincarnation... that's the situation Guiling and the others are in now.

"Fellow Daoist Changsheng, if you could just tone down that smile, I might actually believe you."

Pingxin looked at Ao Changsheng and said expressionlessly.

"Cough cough!"

Ao Changsheng coughed twice, suppressing the smile that clashed sharply with his helpless expression.

His expression turned serious, and coupled with his ordinary robes, he looked somewhat like a great enlightened being.

I gazed at the Guiling from afar.

Just like the smile on his face earlier, Ao Changsheng wasn't actually that angry about Pingxin's Guiling of Pingxin.

After all...

According to the nature of the Guiling.

Given the choice between entering the cycle of reincarnation first and then going to the center of the cycle, and going directly to the center of the cycle of reincarnation, the Guiling will inevitably choose the latter path.

As for why?

Of course, it's because this is a sacred place of reincarnation; unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter!

Since its inception, only Pingxin, who has transformed into a being of reincarnation, Ao Changsheng, and the Heavenly Dao Hongjun have ever visited this Realm of Reincarnation.

Guiling was only qualified to enter the Realm of Reincarnation because Ao Changsheng was willing to relinquish part of his Authority of Reincarnation.

But Jinling and the Three Xiaos of Sanxiao were not so fortunate.

Not to mention their entry into the Realm of Reincarnation, even their master, the Cult Master Tongtian, probably didn't know of Realm of Reincarnation existence.

However, the path that Guiling is now taking means that Jinling and the Three Xiaos are still not qualified to remain in this Realm of Reincarnation.

They would likely be expelled the moment they appeared in the cycle of reincarnation.

But even in that instant, just glimpsing the cycle of reincarnation, it was an absolute stroke of fortuitous opportunity for Jinling.
