518: Netherworld Burial Ground

However, a true spirit that has separated from the Divine Soul and exists independently is usually extremely weak and falls into a long period of slumber.

Wu Ning had tried many times to use the Dominator blood essence left by Mi Sheng to summon her true spirit, but there was no response.

After some preparation, Wu Ning once again activated her Dominator blood essence. In an instant, a special invisible fluctuation spread out, sweeping across the Myriad Realms at an incredible speed.

It transcended all matter and space-time.

Wu Ning released his Dominator Divine Thought, covering a vast expanse of heaven and earth, even the Nine Abyss Sea Realm was covered, but after a long time, there was still no movement.

“Still no response. Could it be that Mi Sheng’s true spirit is no longer in this heaven and earth…?”

Wu Ning frowned slightly, his gaze piercing through the long river of eternity, looking towards the Nine Netherworld Domain deep within the Void Realm.

If it wasn't in the Myriad Realms, then the Reincarnation Land of the Nine Netherworld Domain was the most likely place.

Without hesitation, Wu Ning immediately entered the Void Realm and flew towards the Nine Netherworld Domain.

The Void Realm is a special dimension, completely overlapping with the Hongmeng Great World, boundless, and omnipresent.

Ordinary powerhouses who venture deep into it are very likely to get lost in the boundless Void Realm.

The Nine Netherworld Domain is located in the deepest part of the Void Realm, equivalent to the Chaos Abyss within the Void Realm. It is blocked by endless Netherworld Dao Domains, making it impossible for even Immortal Emperor powerhouses to enter alone.

Only the souls of the deceased and true spirits can easily reach it.

Deeper within the Nine Netherworld Domain, there is also a supreme Forbidden Ground called the Burial Ground.

It buries endless living beings, as well as countless terrifying existences from the river of time. It is definitely a terrifying Forbidden Ground comparable to the depths of the Chaos Abyss.

It's just that the powerhouses of the Netherworld Burial Ground do not move around in the Myriad Realms, otherwise many major forces in the Myriad Realms would be overthrown.

Wu Ning, with his hands behind his back, traversed the boundless Void Realm, crossing infinitely vast distances with every instant.

It didn't take long for him to traverse the Netherworld Dao Domain and enter the Nine Netherworld Domain.

This was a cold, desolate, and dark world. There was no sun in the sky, but a giant blood-red moon hung, its blood-light illuminating the rolling dark clouds into a bloody hue.

A gust of cold wind swept through, dispersing large patches of gray mist, revealing a dark, wide Avenue. At the end of the Avenue, the outline of an ancient city was faintly visible in the mist.

Wu Ning, with his hands clasped behind his back, strolled leisurely, ignoring the ancient city's checkpoints and Restrictions, and entered the city directly.

“Come, come, take a look! Second-hand ghost soldier Magic Treasures, on sale at a discount!”

“Million-year Soul Ganoderma! Can improve Cultivation and temper ghost bodies! Don’t miss it if you pass by!”

“The Great Dao Soul Cultivation Method, only for the fated!”

“…”

The city was quite lively, with crisscrossing streets, numerous restaurants, and various markets. Aside from the environment looking Death Qi-ridden and somewhat oppressive, at first glance, it was not much different from cities in the Myriad Realms.

But Wu Ning could tell at a glance that the residents and passersby in the city were all kinds of demons and ghosts.

In the Nine Netherworld Domain, besides the most powerful Nether Race, there are various ghosts, evil spirits, undead, yin souls, fiend spirits, and many strange existences, all collectively referred to as the Ghost Race.

These Ghost Race members appear human-like on the surface, but their true forms are bizarre and varied.

In addition, there are many powerhouses from the Myriad Realms who Cultivate the Netherworld Ghost Dao in the Nine Netherworld Domain. All of them are extraordinarily strong and also a very large force.

Wu Ning strolled through the city with his hands behind his back. Even at close proximity, no Ghost Race member could detect his presence.

The strength of this ancient city was quite good, with a Nether King overseeing it, and dozens of Dao Venerable-level powerhouses.

Since he was already here, Wu Ning simply went to the Nether King's Nether Palace to check in.

He then left this place and went directly to the Netherworld Reincarnation Land.

The entire Nine Netherworld Domain can be divided into two parts: the Nether Domain and the Nine Nether Reincarnation Land.

In the middle is a boundless dark river, whose source is unfathomable, traversing the entire Nine Netherworld Domain and flowing deeper into the Void Realm, with countless undead struggling to cross it.

This river is called the River of Oblivion by the Nether Race.

Other undead more often call it the River of Forgetfulness.

The names originate from two supreme existences in the Nine Netherworld Domain:

—The Nether Lord and the Sacred Lord of Forgetfulness.

The former is the supreme Dominator of the Nether Domain.

The latter presides over the Nine Nether Reincarnation Land, and is also revered as the Sacred Lord of Reincarnation.

Wu Ning directly traversed the Nether Domain and flew towards the Nine Nether Reincarnation Land, releasing his Dominator Divine Thought along the way, observing this Netherworld. He found that the entire Nine Netherworld Domain was quite similar to the legendary Netherworld Underworld.

The souls of the deceased from the Myriad Realms first enter the Nether Domain, pass through various checkpoints, and if eligible for Reincarnation, are directly sent to the Reincarnation Land. If they do not meet the conditions, they are arranged to do various labor tasks, and after completing a certain number of years, they queue up to enter Reincarnation.

If they are extremely evil and deeply sinful, they will be exiled or become offerings to the Nether Race.

Of course, this is only for ordinary deceased souls. If true powerful beings wish to undergo Reincarnation, entering Reincarnation is as simple as returning home, without any checkpoints.

Wu Ning's figure flickered, and soon he arrived at the bank of the River of Forgetfulness.

A boundless dark river, extremely vast, like an endless Nether Sea, with blood-yellow river water flowing endlessly, unfathomably deep. Within it, one could see countless undead struggling to cross, a truly terrifying sight.

The River of Forgetfulness possesses terrifying Restrictions, making flight impossible. There is also no legendary Bridge of Helplessness on it. For the undead to reach the other shore and enter Reincarnation, they need to ride a Netherworld Boat, and be ferried to the other shore by a ferryman.

However, boarding a Netherworld Boat requires a quota from the Underworld.

Undead who cannot obtain a quota can only jump into the River of Forgetfulness and struggle to cross on their own.

Aside from the Netherworld Boat, other Magic Treasure tools will be swallowed by the River of Forgetfulness. The struggle of the undead to cross is merely a sliver of hope given by heaven and earth. As long as one can cross the River of Forgetfulness, no matter their origin or sins, they can enter Reincarnation.

But those who can reach the other shore are one in ten thousand.

The vast majority will be eternally submerged in the river, becoming part of the River of Forgetfulness, blocking other undead from crossing.

Wu Ning looked around and saw that at every moment, large numbers of struggling undead were being dragged down to the bottom of the River of Forgetfulness by countless hands reaching out from the river.

Throughout the long years, the number of undead submerged in the entire River of Forgetfulness is countless, beyond imagination.

Furthermore, countless fierce beasts and strange existences have been born in the River of Forgetfulness. To cross the River of Forgetfulness and reach the other shore under such circumstances is simply as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Wu Ning glanced at the anti-flight Restriction on the River of Forgetfulness. It was indeed extremely terrifying. It not only contained natural Restrictions formed by this heaven and earth, but also the methods of a supreme Dominator.

Even a lesser Dominator cannot pass through safely.

Although Wu Ning could easily pass through, it would cause a considerable stir and might alarm that supreme existence.

Causing unnecessary trouble.

His gaze swept across the bank of the River of Forgetfulness, and the next moment he appeared on a Netherworld Boat that was about to depart.

The appearance of this Netherworld Boat was extremely bizarre, like a child's folded paper boat, magnified countless times, dark red all over, tens of thousands of miles long, and very massive, capable of easily carrying hundreds of millions of undead at once.
