604: Arriving in the underworld, the thirty-six regions, filth!
Lu Hao could feel the violent trembling of the delicate body in his arms.
He stretched out his hand, gently stroking Lingxi's soft long hair, a gentle smile appearing on his face.
"It's alright now."
"Are you still worried about my cultivation?"
"Let's go. Now that the matter is settled, it's time to head to the Netherworld."
The journey continued.
During the rest of the journey, Lu Hao took out the spoils he had obtained from the Lord of the Nether Abyss, threw them all into the Hunyuan Pagoda, and set them up according to a Formation!
At the same time, Lu Hao converted the resources used to activate the Hunyuan Pagoda into Immortal Crystals!
The efficiency of Immortal Crystals was incomparably higher than Spirit Stones. Although everyone's cultivation Rank was already very high, it could still maintain a hundredfold acceleration for a long time.
Everyone was also very surprised that Lu Hao could produce so many items at once.
Especially Mu Siyuan; he was the clearest about the value of the items Lu Hao brought back.
Those belonged to an Emperor!
One must know that his ability to become a Genius in a domain of the Upper Realm largely depended on the Emperor's Bloodline within him.
Now that Lu Hao had taken out so many items imbued with the Emperor's Qi, how could he not be shocked?
Under the enhancement of various Heaven And Earth Treasures, everyone's cultivation accelerated once more... The boundary-breaking spirit boat traveled through the Void Realm, and another three days passed.
In front of the spirit boat, a massive, deep black hole appeared without warning.
That hole seemed capable of swallowing everything, emitting an ancient and desolate aura.
"Attention!"
Inside the boundary-breaking spirit boat, a mechanical voice broadcast suddenly sounded.
"We are about to arrive at the Netherworld. All passengers, please take safety precautions."
As soon as the voice finished, the spirit boat plunged into the black vortex.
After a moment of dizziness, when everyone could clearly see the outside scenery again, they were stunned.
The sky here was gray, but the land was complete with mountains and rivers, and there were even various colorful exotic flowers and plants, completely different from the Death Qi-ridden Netherworld they had imagined.
"Lingxi."
Lu Hao looked at Lingxi beside him, a little confused.
"Didn't you say that brightly colored flowers are rare in the Netherworld? Why is it so vibrant here?"
Lingxi looked at the surrounding environment and slowly explained:
"Brother, this is actually related to the controller of each continent and its geographical location."
"The Netherworld is not like the Living Realm, which has Three Thousand Ancient Realms."
"The entire Netherworld is actually one complete, boundless supercontinent."
"Beyond this continent is the endless Chaos Void Realm."
She paused, then continued:
"Moreover, a special substance drifts everywhere in the Netherworld, which we call Filth. This substance is unique to the Netherworld and is extremely terrifying!"
"Filth can corrode the Lifespan of all living beings, distort their Divine Souls, and destroy their Physical Bodies. It is the root of all decay and death in the Netherworld."
"The closer one gets to the edge region of the Netherworld continent, the higher the concentration of Filth."
"Therefore, the creatures and environment in the edge regions are constantly being corroded, and everything appears in a deathly black and gray color."
"For Cultivators in the Netherworld, only by reaching the Immortal Realm can they completely ignore the corrosion of Filth."
"The location we are currently in should be near the central region of the Netherworld."
"There are many powerful existences in the central region. They work together to purify a large area of Filth, providing a relatively good cultivation environment for the beings under their command."
"Of course, they do this for themselves as well."
"In their view, the people below them are all working for them. The higher those people's cultivation Rank is, the more value they can create for them."
"Therefore, in the Netherworld, the closer one is to the center, the better the cultivation environment and the closer the scenery is to a normal Living Realm."
After saying this, to give Lu Hao a more intuitive understanding, Lingxi waved her hands, condensing a star map with her magic power, which displayed the macro geographical map of the entire Netherworld.
"Brother, the entire Netherworld continent can generally be divided into thirty-six large regions."
"These regions are categorized into four Ranks: Core Region, Inner Region, Outer Region, and Edge Region. The disparity between each region is extremely vast, and the hierarchy is very strict!"
"There are only three Core Regions: the First Region's Yama Heaven Domain, the Second Region's Cycle of Reincarnation Sacred Hall, and the Third Region's Nine Nether Imperial Capital. That is where the most powerful existences in the entire Netherworld reside, and it is even rumored that Supreme Immortals exist there!"
"Not the kind of Supreme Immortal who has fallen, but true, living Supreme Immortals!"
"The Inner Region spans from the Fourth Region to the Twelfth Region, including places like Wangchuan, Blood Sea Prison, and Abi City. Experts are as numerous as clouds, and forces are densely packed. The strongest expert of every single power there is a true Immortal, and many of them are even Heavenly Immortals!"
"The Outer Region spans from the Thirteenth Region to the Twenty-fourth Region, including places like the Rakshasa Ghost Realm, Yellow Springs Road, Yin Mountain Ancient Land, and so on. This is where things start to become chaotic. In a single region, only the most prominent powers have an Immortal guarding them."
"Finally, the Edge Region spans from the Twenty-fifth Region to the Thirty-sixth Region, including places like Silent Desolation Wasteland, Withered Bone Shoal, and Phantom Marsh. The concentration of Filth is heaviest there, the environment is the harshest, and it is where the lowest-level beings of the Netherworld struggle to survive, and also the place with the least order."
"Immortals there might already be the strongest Dominators, and there are probably only a few in one region."
Lu Hao nodded, indicating that he understood.
"So that's how it is."
"Then Lingxi, the domain you managed before, should have been close to the edge of the Netherworld, right?"
Lingxi nodded, her expression somewhat complicated.
"Yes."
"The region I was in is called the Rakshasa Ghost Realm. The Rakshasa Ghost Realm is divided into nine major realms, and I managed the Ninth Realm, the Profound Yin Realm, which is roughly located in the Outer Region, close to the Edge Region."
"That's why the scenery there was all hazy gray, and you basically couldn't see any color."
"If you go further out, to the true Edge Region, you can hardly find anything with color, and all living beings are severely corroded by Filth."
"The Profound Yin Realm was the weakest among the Nine Realms. Before I rose, the strongest expert in the Profound Yin Realm was a Nine-Source Supreme Expert, who had passed two of the three tribulations of Immortal Ascension."
"But after I achieved Breakthrough to Immortal Ascension, I replaced him."
Lu Hao finally understood.
He looked at Lingxi and said:
"Alright. Since I don't have a clear goal right now anyway, why don't we go help you deal with those two brothers first."
"Where is your Nether Palace located?"
A flash of gratitude appeared in Lingxi's eyes.
"Okay, Brother!"
