170: Chapter 170 The Netherworld Realm, Lord of the Underworld

After speaking, the Incarnation used a realm divine ability to gather the Star Beast's body and placed it into the Blessed Land space, leaving Wang An's main body to handle the rest.

The Incarnation returned to the cultivation room in the Tianhe Dojo, and his Yin Spirit traveled out, sinking into the rudimentary Netherworld Realm below.

The Yin Spirit sank beneath the earth, traveling deep through the dense terrestrial energy, and immediately sensed a cold, dim Netherworld Realm only a hundred miles in size.

This Netherworld Realm had no normal light, but fortunately, the Yin Spirit had long since transcended ordinary vision. His own soul glowed with a faint radiance, and upon the appearance of this light, the tens of thousands of Yin spirits, which had previously been somewhat dazed and confused, gathered toward the Yin Spirit.

Its powerful pressure kept them from daring to approach or offend.

The Incarnation discovered that these Yin spirits seemed to have damaged consciousness and lacked autonomy; only a portion of their instincts remained, drawing them to linger in this place.

Carefully sensing the essence of this place, it was merely a small dimension born from the combination of a bit of terrestrial Netherworld laws and terrestrial energy.

At present, it lacked a true essence, and even the Yin Spirit had to be cautious here to avoid damaging the spatial structure of this place with a large movement.

Suddenly, seemingly sensing the appearance of a higher-level spiritual entity in the Netherworld Realm, a weak red Status descended from the heart of the realm onto the Incarnation's Yin Spirit.

Immediately, Wang An's true spirit felt the information of this Status.

[Yin Emperor]

Dominates all things in the Netherworld Realm; it is the supreme ruler.

"Emperor?"

"Heh."

"I have no desire to be a laborer."

The Incarnation's Yin Spirit scoffed.

The two Statuses, [Source of Vitality] and [Supernatural Source of Life Primordial Qi], were released to search for the source of the Netherworld Vital Qi in this place.

Before long, at a central location, he discovered a spring spouting Netherworld Vital Qi.

The Yin Spirit arrived in the blink of an eye, probed carefully, and revealed a look of realization.

"So, it was hidden by a natural law formation, which is why I couldn't discover it. If it weren't for the ability of the Status, it would have taken quite a long time to find it."

He tested this formation; it had no offensive power, merely concealing the interior.

The Yin Spirit's power probed inside, and at the core, a purple lotus emitting imagery of the Netherworld, reincarnation, and the turning wheel was swallowing terrestrial energy and spouting Netherworld Vital Qi.

Observing closely, he discovered that this lotus seemed to have absolutely no life characteristics; it was merely mechanically converting Vital Qi here.

"It's somewhat like a combination of a spiritual plant and a magical artifact! However, it is even rarer; only at the core of such a newly born realm would there be such a treasure."

The main body extended a wisp of Yin Spirit thought from the Blessed Land, entered this lotus, and upon completing the refinement, gained complete control over its inner core.

The information regarding this treasure was then revealed.

[netherworld reincarnation lotus]

This is a spiritual plant possessing three types of imagery: the Netherworld, human reincarnation, and Yin spirit rebirth. Besides this, it is also a First-Order Realm Magical Artifact born in conjunction with this realm.

Magical Artifact is the name of the Second-Order object in Wang An's conceptualization.

Its internal core has at least one formation composed of 108 law runes, equivalent to a fallen Zifu True Person.

And the [netherworld reincarnation lotus] is precisely a Magical Artifact with 3 formations, possessing a certain ability to control the reincarnation of Yin spirits and maintain the stability of the Netherworld Realm.

At the same time, after Wang An refined this Second-Order Realm Magical Artifact, a Status accompanied by a faint golden light once again descended into Wang An's true spirit.

[Lord of the Netherworld]

Besides the Yin Emperor's abilities, the biggest change is the ability to arbitrarily change and set the rules of this place, and to extract wisdom and spiritual light from the memories of all living beings to assist the Dao path.

Feeling the different perspective, the entire Netherworld Realm was within his grasp, and he could freely browse through all the records of its internal birth and circulation.

Subsequently, the Yin Spirit thought entered this Status, and in an instant, countless pieces of information flooded into the Yin Spirit.

Within the Blue Star shrouded by Vital Qi, he could perceive the locations of countless Yin spirits and ghosts, and with the help of this Status, Wang An could jump to any position on the entire Blue Star at any time.

In the darkness, Wang An seemed to have a better understanding of the relationship between laws, Statuses, and Golden Nature.

"Cultivating Golden Nature from a rudimentary law can prove a complete Law Fruit Position, while perfecting the law of the [Lord of the Netherworld] is to prove the Karma Position of this realm."

"Of course, it is not to say which is superior or inferior between a Fruit Position and a Karma Position; one is a Fruit Position similar to a Heavenly Immortal, and the other is a divine position similar to an Earthly Immortal deity, both possessing immense authority and power."

Wang An left a wisp of Yin Spirit thought in the [netherworld reincarnation lotus] to preside over the normal operation of the entire realm.

The Incarnation's Yin Spirit observed here to see what he could do to accelerate the development of this rudimentary Netherworld Realm.

He still followed the development concept of the supernatural ecosystem, starting from this perspective to build a complete Netherworld, pushing the development of the entire realm's laws.

First, he took some Yin-attribute spiritual plants from the Blessed Land space to plant at the Netherworld spring, but he watched as the locust tree spiritual plant gradually withered and lost its vitality.

The Incarnation carefully investigated and discovered.

"It is completely unable to adapt to or resist the environment here; it seems that higher-level spiritual plants are needed."

In Wang An's Blessed Land space, the only ones considered Yin-attribute spiritual plants are the [Psychic Willow] and [Moonlight Lotus], but he could not directly transplant this entire First-Order spiritual plant here.

He first selected some willow branches and lotus roots from the Blessed Land, planted them at the Netherworld spring, used the [Spirit Dew Growth] spell to accelerate their growth, and arranged a circle of purified water flow around the spiritual plants using [Rootless Purified Water] to purify the somewhat murky Netherworld Vital Qi.

This time the effect was immediate; these spiritual plants, having absorbed the pure Netherworld Vital Qi, began to have their internal imagery and properties gradually shift to align with the Netherworld.

Within the [Lord of the Netherworld] Status, a certain law regarding Yin spirits had the beginnings of birth.

"If these branches recover into complete First-Order spiritual plants, it should be able to be born."

Watching these Yin spirits attracted by the aura of the spiritual plants, Wang An drew inspiration from the Buddhist and Taoist structures regarding the Netherworld system, input this information into the [Lord of the Netherworld] Status, and let it execute based on this.

Before long, a large amount of Netherworld Vital Qi gathered, and in a corner, an illusory city formed, with the three characters [City of Wrongful Deaths] carved on it.

These wandering Yin spirits were attracted by the gentle and stable environment inside the [City of Wrongful Deaths] and flocked into it.

After clearing these wandering Yin spirits, the earth of the entire Netherworld Realm, which was originally an illusory realm embryonic membrane, began to give birth to a large amount of Yin soil. At the same time, the Netherworld Vital Qi spouted from the [netherworld reincarnation lotus] became more and more abundant, gathering into rivers and circulating throughout the entire Netherworld Realm.

Looking at the greatly changed realm, a satisfied smile flashed across the Incarnation's face.

"However, wanting to establish a complete Underworld system is still a long and arduous road."

For existing mature systems, Wang An naturally referred to them as much as possible, modifying those that were unsuitable.

"I still need some manpower to assist me."
