This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 386 - 14: The Realm of the Netherworld (4000 words)_3

Chapter 386: Chapter 14: The Realm of the Netherworld (4000 words)_3

The reason it was placed into the Source Vault was that eighty percent of Burial Ridge belonged to forbidden and uninhabited zones, with only the remaining twenty percent being meaningful.

“Forbidden zone?” Lu Qingshan asked curiously, “Is it fraught with danger?”

“Do you know that beyond the world we reside in, there are other worlds?” Ji Chuan did not directly answer Lu Qingshan’s question, but posed a question of his own instead.

“I am aware, such as the Abyss where the Demon Race dwells, which is an independent and complete world,” Lu Qingshan answered.

Nine Heavens, Nine Heavens—though not officially recognized, players believed there should be nine worlds in existence.

Apart from the Sky Dome Heaven where the Human Race was located, he only knew of the existence of the Abyss.

“The way senior brother asks, could it be that this place is connected to other worlds?” Lu Qingshan’s heart stirred, vaguely guessing at the possibilities.

Ji Chuan nodded, “There are two worlds adjacent to our Sky Dome Heaven. One is the Abyss where the Demon Race lives, which we have been in conflict with for tens of thousands of years—a thorn in the flesh that needs no further mention.

The other world is the Netherworld.”

“The Netherworld?!” Lu Qingshan was shocked.

This was a secret of the worlds he had never encountered before.

“Whether it’s our Human Race or the Demon Clan, all living creatures, upon death, will have their souls proceed to the Netherworld, which is the land of the afterlife,” Ji Chuan explained.

“As neighboring worlds, during the expansion and writhing of the world barriers, collisions are bound to occur, creating fissures.

Within the forbidden zone of Burial Ridge lies such a space crack leading to the world of the Netherworld.

Death energy from the Netherworld continuously seeps through the space crack, shrouding a region.

Cultivators cannot linger in an environment filled with death energy, because although it won’t kill you immediately, the death energy will gradually suppress your Blood Qi and devour your Yang energy.

Once the physical body’s Blood Qi is completely suppressed by death energy, although you are still alive, your physical body will be no different from the dead, and your Primordial Spirit will leave the body.

Therefore, few cultivators stay long in the region enveloped by death energy.

However, with the passage of time, within that region, Demon Beasts have gradually adapted to the death energy from the Netherworld and undergone corresponding changes, becoming a new Demon Clan.

They call themselves Origin Demons.

Among the lineage of Origin Demons, there even emerged an Eighth-Grade Great Demon King, the Origin Demon King.

It is precisely because of the presence of Origin Demons that the area has become a forbidden zone.”

Lu Qingshan was astonished, “Then won’t otherworldly creatures from the Netherworld invade our Human Territory like the Demon Race does? Or have Human Cultivators, out of curiosity, ever desired to explore the Netherworld?”

Ji Chuan shook his head, “The reason the Abyss can invade our Sky Dome Heaven without hindrance is because the Demon Race and our Human Race are essentially the same, with Vital Essence remaining.

Similarly, our Human Race can also enter the Abyss without obstruction.

But the Netherworld is different; it is the place where souls go after death.

It’s common to refer to our Sky Dome Heaven along with the Abyss as the yang world, while the Netherworld Realm as the yin world.

In the yin world, only souls can enter.

Atop the barriers of the Netherworld, there are inexorable law restrictions.

To enter, one must be a soul completely devoid of Yang energy, and if you force your way through, it will extinguish all your Yang energy, turning you into a true dead person.

At the same time, the barriers of our Human Sky Dome Heaven also prevent all beings from the Netherworld from entering.”

“I see…” Lu Qingshan murmured thoughtfully, “So, the Netherworld and our Sky Dome Heaven are unknown and forbidden to each other.

And for this reason, powerful cultivators have let this spatial passage exist?”

“Pretty much,” Ji Chuan nodded, then added after a moment’s thought, “However, it’s not completely a forbidden zone, because within the Sky Dome Heaven, there are beings who have entered the Netherworld.”

“Someone has entered the Netherworld?!”

“Not someone,” Ji Chuan corrected, “A Demon.”

“The Origin Demon King, has entered the Netherworld!”
