Volume 7 The Wind Rises Chapter 113 Nine Nether Caves
1013
A month passed in the blink of an eye, and under the flickering of a purple rainbow in the sky of the land of Yunzhou, Cheng Qian's figure slowly emerged.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and he quietly glanced down, and his face couldn't help but change a little.
"It seems that the defensive array here has also been destroyed in the Demon Tribulation!" Cheng Qian looked down and muttered.
This place is the Shenlong Stream in Yunzhou, the sky is still as dark as usual, a moisture diffuses the air, and the nearby white clouds are also slightly gray.
Below the gray clouds, there was an endless dark forest, exuding a terrifying chill, and a thick damp breath drifted from the forest into the void, making Cheng Qian's brows furrowed wildly.
When he was a minor monk in the foundation building period, he had come to this Shenlong Stream, and he remembered the strangeness here, there was a faint purple array on the periphery of Shenlong Stream, but now the purple light curtain has lost its trace.
Cheng Qian's mind swept over, and he could faintly find a lot of destroyed array flags and array plates, these array tools flashed with spiritual light, although they were destroyed, their spirituality was not lost at all.
"Presumably, the formation flag used in this formation was also carefully refined by the ancient monks, and it was destroyed so unrecognizable that there were even spiritual power fluctuations flickering!" With Cheng Qian's current divine thoughts in the middle stage of the god transformation, he had already covered a small part of the forest, but if he wanted to go further away, he would be blocked by a cold force.
"Huh! It seems that the Death Swamp is really extraordinary, and with the power of my divine thoughts, it can't be investigated!" Feeling that his divine sense was blocked, Cheng Qian was also slightly startled, and said to himself with a slight frown.
After sighing secretly, Cheng Qian's whole body was full of energy, and he immediately rushed towards the cold forest.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Cheng Qian's figure came to the trunk of a tree covered with dark green moss, and after entering the forest, the feeling of forest was even more substantial. Let a cultivator like him in the Transformation Stage couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
The moment Cheng Qian landed on the trunk of the tree, a cloud of moisture with a fishy smell came to his nose, which made him immediately seal his facial features and not smell the smell.
In the cold forest, from time to time, there would be gusts of yin wind crossing, and there was a terrifying wind whistle between the countless tree trunks, like the hiss of a ghost.
"Alas!"
Cheng Qian sighed slowly, and the spiritual light of his whole body flowed, turning into a faint starlight. Float towards the Shenlong Stream.
The journey was extremely smooth, and he didn't encounter any mutant demon beasts, which made Cheng Qian sigh again, compared to the Shenlong Stream back then, now this place seems to be a real death canyon.
There is no breath of life, every qiē looks so gloomy, the quiet forest, the kind of ghost crying wolf howl that comes out, makes Cheng Qian's scalp tingle for a while.
In the blink of an eye, Cheng Qian's spiritual light had penetrated hundreds of miles. After passing through the dark forest, the qiē in front of me became open, a dark large wooden forest, and the ground was full of pitch-black mud swamps.
In the vicinity of the muddy ground. Occasionally, you can see some dirt diffused with a faint demonic aura, and on top of the dirt is a miserable white skeleton, which makes people feel a trace of fear in their hearts.
There was a flash of inspiration in the void, and Cheng Qian appeared with a frown. Shen Nian carefully swept the skeleton that exuded a faint demonic aura, and his face gradually became gloomy.
"This corpse hasn't been dead for long, it should be the remnants of the demon clan. Judging from this demonic aura, this demonic cultivation may also have a primordial infancy!" Cheng Qian's face was stern, and he couldn't help muttering in a low voice, as if he could see the origin of this skeleton.
"What could be it that could make a fifth-order demon servant fall so miserably!"
Cheng Qian thought slowly, quietly released his divine thoughts, surrounded him, and after a while, he withdrew his divine thoughts without gain, and his face became even more gloomy.
"Could it be that this demon happened to escape here and wanted to go to the underworld, and met the ghosts of the underworld?"
Many thoughts turned in his mind, but he didn't have the slightest clue, and after staying above the demon skeleton for a while, Cheng Qian's whole body flashed, and the whole person became illusory.
Even though he is a cultivator of the Transformation Stage, there seems to be no danger in the human world, but don't forget that there is a passage to the underworld here, and there may be ghosts of the same level at any time.
Now that the entire Shenlongjian has no protection from the enchantment, as long as there are high-level ghosts in the Yin Si Realm, it will be another catastrophe in the human world.
Cheng Qian was not a savior, and with his current ability, he couldn't arrange that kind of powerful enchantment at all, so he could only look at Shen Longjian and shake his head.
At this moment, he is extremely cautious, he can kill the fifth-order demon servant, presumably this place is also full of crises, in the face of unknown dangers, Cheng Qian will never be big, everything will be extremely careful.
After half a cup of tea, over the black muddy ground, Cheng Qian's illusory figure flew quietly by.
It was the middle of the mire of death, and a disgusting smell of dampness wafted from the black mud.
The sky had become more gloomy, and the wind was rising from the mud, and the whirring wind was like a ghost crying wolf, and it was extremely desolate.
"Woo woo ......" From the dark mud, a woman's cry suddenly came out, and it was extremely sad.
Cheng Qian, who was in the void, frowned, his figure suddenly appeared, his whole body was full of spiritual pressure, and he stretched out his right hand and pointed forward.
With a thunderbolt from the sky, a dazzling golden arc of lightning erupted from his fingertips, and with a bounce, it meandered towards the silt.
"Bang!"
Almost at the same time, a large whirlpool suddenly appeared above the silt, and a white wraith with no facial features floated out of the whirlpool, and the golden arc hit it in a flash.
The white resentful spirit immediately let out a miserable roar, and under the golden electricity wrapped in its body, it suddenly collapsed and dispersed.
"Back then, I was almost taken away by this resentful spirit!" Cheng Qian looked at the disappeared resentful spirit calmly, and couldn't help but recall with some horror.
The yin qi vortex did not disappear with the collapse of the resentful spirit, but instead twisted sharply, and in the blink of an eye, a vortex with a diameter of a hundred zhang condensed and appeared, and a scream of ghosts crying, screaming, or laughing came out of it.
"Sting!"
With a thunderclap, a black arc of electricity suddenly bounced out of the center of the whirlpool, and a pitch-black hole appeared in the whirlpool. A puff of pure yin qi came out of it.
Witnessing this scene, Cheng Qian's face changed a little wildly, even though he had expected it, when he really saw this scene, he couldn't help but be a little afraid, the pure yin qi blowing, making his whole body tremble, that cold and piercing feeling, even if he activated the aura of the body protector, he couldn't resist it in the slightest.
Seeing that the yin qi spewing out of the cave was getting stronger and stronger, Cheng Qian couldn't help but let out a low sigh. Bursts of thunder bloomed all over the body, colorful arcs formed a protective film on the surface of the body, blue light flashed in the center of the eyebrows, and the eye of the storm suddenly appeared.
At this moment, Cheng Qian became extremely cautious, as long as there was the slightest danger, he would not hesitate to launch the full force of the Transformation Stage Cultivator.
But the strange thing is that Cheng Qian waited for half a cup of tea in the void, and he didn't see any ghosts rushing out of the hole. This made his face a little gloomy.
He knew that this big black hole was the passage to the underworld, and Cheng Qian didn't dare to blindly rush into the hole without understanding the situation below.
"Since it's here. Then go down, this cave is called the Nine Netherworld Caves!
Just when Cheng Qian was hesitating, the voice of the Heaven Devouring Demon Wolf suddenly came from his body, with a hint of disdain in his tone.
"Nine Nether Caves?"
Cheng Qian was stunned when he heard this. Asked suspiciously.
"The Nine Nether Caves are an endless abyss, and no one has ever understood how far this passage is, but one thing is for sure. As long as you pass through this passage, you will be able to see the gate of the underworld!" The voice of the Heaven Devouring Demon Wolf came out again, explaining his doubts to Cheng Qian.
"Okay!"
Cheng Qian was silent for a while, took a deep breath, nodded and said, although he didn't understand why there were no ghosts rushing out, he still decided to go down in person.
"Alas!"
After half a cup of tea, Cheng Qian sighed, and the whole person disappeared into the black hole with a thunderous light, with his disappearance, the whirlpool in the center of the death quagmire was reversed, and the big hole gradually healed, and after a black arc bounced, it was calm in an instant, as if there had never been any abnormal changes here.
............
As soon as Cheng Qian entered the Nine Netherworld Cave, the whole person seemed to have fallen into the ice cave, and let him cultivate to the sky, under the flow of spiritual power throughout his body, he could not expel this chill, which made his heart tremble slightly.
In the pitch-black passage, there were all circles of yin wind and anger, and every time a circle of yin qi surrounded Cheng Qian's body, his divine soul would tremble, and his divine thoughts would actually be a little trance-like.
Cheng Qian was shocked for a moment, and suddenly activated the invisible alchemy technique, and under the crazy crushing of the powerful divine thoughts, he was able to drive the discomfort of the divine soul out of his body.
"This Nine Nether Caves really live up to its name, this is just the place I have just entered, and with my cultivation, it is difficult to resist the attack of this Yin Wind Divine Soul!" he looked at the endless passage in front of him in horror, and from a distance, he could only see a hollow ring in front of him.
"Don't stay, feel like flying forward, no matter how far you have to fly, once you stay in one place, you will be trapped in the Nine Nether Cave forever!"
At the same time that Cheng Qian was secretly frightened, the angry voice of the Sky Devouring Demon Wolf suddenly came out, roaring at Cheng Qian frantically.
"Why!" Cheng Qian wondered.
"For thou art a living creature, a man of flesh and blood. The laws of heaven and earth, flesh and blood cannot forcibly enter the underworld!" The Sky Devouring Demon Wolf's voice was full of anxiety, and he couldn't help but urge again.
Hearing this, Cheng Qian's heart froze, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath, his whole body was full of light, and the whole body behind him thunderclapped, and the whole person turned into a golden arc and shot towards the depths of the Nine Nether Caves.
The deeper he went, the more frightened Cheng Qian became, the yin wind was no longer blowing in all directions like before, but there was a faint tendency to fix, and when the golden arc bounced, he would always be killed by the sudden appearance of the yin wind blade.
This wind blade was no ordinary wind blade, although his body was wrapped in an arc of lightning, it still couldn't stop this sharp blade, and every time the wind blade passed through the golden arc, it would directly pierce his divine thoughts, causing a heart-piercing pain in his mind.
Every time he was attacked, the thunder light all over his body would disappear, and his mind would be dissipated for a while, but every time he would frantically run the invisible alchemy to erase the pain.
I don't know how long it took, the Yin Wind attacked back and forth, the Invisible Alchemy Technique was running frequently, and the Yin Wind became more and more powerful. An extremely terrifying thought suddenly appeared, turning into a sharp knife and stabbing at Cheng Qian.
Witnessing this scene, Cheng Qian couldn't help but take a deep breath, his whole body thundered, and a cloud of crimson evil thoughts burst out from his body, and the evil thoughts suddenly rolled and turned into countless fierce beasts with red bodies, frantically slashing towards the pitch-black evil thoughts.
After a while, the pitch-black evil qi was completely extinguished by the killing intent, and Cheng Qian urged the thunder light again, and a thunderbolt shot away into the depths.
A month later. A burst of multicolored thunder suddenly erupted from the Nine Nether Caves, roaring and echoing in the gusts of yin wind, thunder trembling, and fierce ghosts hissing.
One by one, strange-looking ghost creatures gradually appeared in the Nine Netherworld Cave, and Cheng Qian did not hesitate to launch the Five Elements Sacrifice Thunder Technique, which was often able to defeat a large number of ghost creatures with just one blow.
Three months later, Cheng Qian's whole body was wrapped in dark thoughts. His face was extremely pale, and a bloody wound appeared on his forehead.
In the passage in front of him, a dense network of resentful spirits blocked the way in front of him, and Cheng Qian once again unfolded an earth-shattering supernatural power. Strangle all the evil spirits, and then turn into a storm without any rest, and float away into the distance.
Half a year later, in the passage of the Nine Nether Caves. Countless blue sword lights surged, and a large area of evil qi flew around the passage, and the Heavenly Evil Divine Sword displayed its might. Invincible all the way, the ghosts intercepted in the middle of the road are slashed in pieces.
Countless sword lights rolled down, and the entire passage was quiet, Cheng Qian's forehead was sweating like rain, his face was slightly pale and he kept wheezing, before and after nine months, he almost flew wildly in the Nine Netherworld Cave day and night, and every once in a while, all kinds of attacks would emerge.
At first, he could still use the thunder control technique to resist it, but the later he came, the more powerful the attacks appeared, and now a batch of ghosts appeared, Cheng Qian had to use the sharpness of the Heavenly Evil Divine Sword to be worthy of his killing.
"Don't stop!"
As soon as Cheng Qian wanted to rest for a while, the roar of the Heaven Devouring Demon Wolf came out.
During the nine months, every time he was exhausted and wanted to rest, he would be stopped by the Sky Devouring Demon Wolf, and he finally escaped in the Nine Nether Cave for such a long time, but he could never fall short.
"Alas!"
Cheng Qian sighed leisurely, and continued to fly forward with a great aura all over his body, and at the same time, a top-grade spirit stone was taken out by him, and he frantically absorbed the spiritual energy in it to restore his mana.
In the following time, Cheng Qian galloped all the way in the Nine Netherworld Caves without receiving any attacks, which also made him breathe a sigh of relief, and slowly slowed down his speed, and his face gradually improved.
"Calculate the time, I've been flying in the Nine Nether Caves for almost a year, why haven't I reached the end yet!"
While flying, Cheng Qian asked the Sky Devouring Demon Wolf suspiciously.
"There is no end to the path of the Nine Shadows, this is a road without another side, walking here with flesh and blood, you can only rely on luck. Immortal cultivators with slightly better luck can often reach the gate of the underworld in three months!" The Sky Devouring Demon Wolf replied without the slightest hesitation.
"Back in the Illusory Heaven Continent, I had seen the gate of the underworld with my own eyes, and I had never seen the Nine Netherworld Caves!" "The long time of flying and fighting with the ghosts and ghosts made him extremely irritable in his heart, if it weren't for the Sky Devouring Demon Wolf to communicate with him, I am afraid that he would not be able to hold on for a long time.
"Hmph, that's not the real gate of the underworld, I'm afraid it's just an entrance to the Nine Netherworld Caves!" Hearing this, the Sky Devouring Demon Wolf couldn't help but snort coldly, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with Cheng Qian.
The significance of Cheng Qian's words was very obvious, he obviously didn't believe the words of the Heaven Swallowing Demon Wolf now, and he couldn't help but make the Heaven Swallowing Demon Wolf very angry.
"The old man was also a spiritual creature in the spirit world back then, although he has never been to the underworld, but he still has a general understanding of these basic information!"
"Alas!"
Cheng Qian sighed again, it wasn't that he didn't believe in the words of the Heaven Devouring Demon Wolf, when he was in the Illusory Heaven, he knew that Cheng Kun had gone to the underworld, and he didn't know the specific situation, so he thought that this underworld was also extremely easy to enter, but he never expected that it would be so difficult.
After putting away his thoughts, Cheng Qian once again embarked on an endless journey.
In the blink of an eye, another month passed, Cheng Qian's light suddenly stopped, and he was quietly suspended in the passage of the Nine Netherworld Caves, his eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a faint flash of colorful divine light in his pupils, and he glanced at the front carefully.
"It seems that my luck has not always been bad, and I finally got to the gate of the underworld!"
A smile gradually appeared on Cheng Qian's face, and he saw that the front of the pitch-black passage suddenly became empty, and a cave-like open space appeared.
There was a faint glimmer of fire in this empty hole, and Cheng Qian took a closer look at it and saw all its faces.
Around the wall of the cave, a row of oil lamps is hung, illuminating the top of the entire passage brightly, and in the center of the cave wall, there is a black iron gate that is more than 100 zhang high.
The walls of the cave around the huge Darkiron Gate are in a semi-arc shape, and countless skulls of various sizes are carved on them, which appear to be adults and children. Standing in front of you, a pair of black eyes seem to be looking at you, making people feel a palpitating breath of death, very thick and heavy.
Cheng Qian looked at the scene in front of him in shock, his body fluttered slowly, and after a while, he completely jumped over the Nine Netherworld Caves and came to the real gate of the underworld, the hair on his whole body stood upside down at this moment, and suddenly there was a feeling of being stared at by countless pairs of eyes.
