Chapter 500: Chapter 26 Entering the Hell Path Chapter 500: Chapter 26 Entering the Hell Path After exchanging pleasantries with the Shi Family from Guangling, Luo Yan politely saw the two visitors out and then returned to his own room to call out the Kunlun Mirror once again to load his saved progress.
“If the denizens of the Hell Path don’t come out to meet me this time, I truly won’t be polite!” Luo Yan thought fiercely to himself.
[Save Point Four: Unknown secret realm, possibly the depths of Hell.]
[Character Identity: Wei Dongliu.]
[Mirror Flower Water Moon Template overlay in progress, time-space travel underway.]
Wei Dongliu sat in tranquility amidst the darkness, once again meditating for five to six hours.
In darkness and silence, it’s easy to lose one’s concept of space, but with the aid of the Kunlun Mirror, Wei Dongliu knew it was precisely ten hours and thirty-seven minutes.
Of course, according to the Kunlun Mirror, time passed more slowly here than in the outside world, so although it had been several hours here, perhaps only one or two hours had passed outside.
While he remained calm and composed, the observers behind him grew restless…
They had been rigidly watching Wei Dongliu for several hours, and he had still not shown any sign of peculiarity.
How can this fellow have such patience and composure?
“Sect Leader, Wei Dongliu has been sitting for seven hours now, should we continue to monitor him?”
“…
Up to now, what’s the longest record?”

“The longest was seven days.???g?.??
However, by the fourth hour, signs of restlessness and anxiety would appear.”
“Look at this Wei Dongliu, his expression unchanged.
If not for the array indicating he is still alive, we would really think he had lost his mind.”
“Hmm, let’s stop here.
I’ll go meet him.”
As Wei Dongliu sat in silent meditation, suddenly a voice asked:
“In the void, colorless and soundless, why do you not fear?”
“What is there to fear?” Wei Dongliu retorted.
“What if you cannot leave for a day, a month, or even a year, what then?” the voice continued to ask.
“So what?” Wei Dongliu laughed, “You think this place is a cage, yet even if I leave this place, how do I know the outside world isn’t a bigger cage?”
The voice faltered for a moment, only to hear Wei Dongliu continue:
“Above the Nine Heavens, where do the stars dwell?
Beneath the Netherworld, what lies at the heart of the earth?
Southeast, northwest, at the ends of all directions, what scenery lies beyond?”
“The world inhabited by the Human Race, whether it is tens of thousands of miles or tens of millions of miles, ultimately has an end, has limits-it’s merely a larger cage.”
“There’s some truth to that.” The owner of the voice stepped out from the darkness.
It was a middle-aged man with a three-foot-long beard, an elegant bearing, and a gentle expression.
“Be careful,” the Kunlun Mirror suddenly said.
“This person is of the Immortal rank.”
Wei Dongliu acknowledged with a hum, then stood up and cupped his hands in salute:
“Sect Leader of the Myriad Laws Mystic Profound Sect, Wei Dongliu.”
“The Myriad Laws Mystic Profound Sect.” The other party fell silent for a moment before speaking, “Before the interruption of the orthodox lineage, I knew everyone from the Tong Xuan Gate, yet I have never seen someone of your appearance.”
“I am merely following the spiritual inheritance of an elder from Myriad Laws; therefore, I established this sect,” Wei Dongliu said indifferently.
“The Tong Xuan Gate you speak of, although sharing the same name, is not the orthodox lineage.”
The other party heard this and smiled slightly, saying:
“Setting aside the question of orthodoxy, at least your practice is indeed the ‘Exorcism Spirit Distinguishing Sutra,’ capable of transforming the pure and impure Qi in your body at will.”
“Furthermore, you must possess the bloodline of the Abi Devil Lord, which is why you can maintain a clear mind and move freely even when all of your pure Qi turns into impure Qi.
Am I correct?”
Wei Dongliu pondered for a moment, thinking that this immortal apparently did not know about the “Chaotic Demon Body,” then he verbally responded:
“I cannot speak about matters of bloodline.”
“No matter,” the middle-aged man didn’t mind playing coy and simply said with a smile, “I am the master of the Hell Path.
You can call me Luo Daozhang.
Since the Demon Buddha Yu Shen gave you his rib, it was meant to recommend you to join our Hell Path.”
“Your entry here is merely a trial for joining the Path.”
Wei Dongliu thought for a moment before asking:
“What’s the mystery behind the rib?”
“There’s nothing unusual about the rib itself,” replied Luo Daozhang.
“But it should not have been given to you.”
“Losing a rib, the Demon Buddha would bear an injury.
Once we determined that he was injured, we naturally could trace it to you and thus understand his intentions.”
“I see,” thought Wei Dongliu to himself, the Hell Path truly is meticulous and cautious.
Since there’s no mystery to the rib, if it were to fall into the hands of the Orthodox Sect, they would not be able to glean any clues from it.
From beginning to end, it was the Hell Path searching for him, not the other way around.
The initiative always lay with the Hell Path; should they sense anything amiss, they could abandon him at any moment.
Even the passage that transported him here was one-way and single-use.
If he had indeed been a spy, he could not lead people from the Orthodox Sect here…
The thinking could be said to be extremely meticulous.
“Let’s go,” Luo Daozhang waved his hand and said, “Follow me to leave.”
He gestured in mid-air, and a gate emerged from the void.
Wei Dongliu followed him through the gate and saw that on the other side was the scorching Hell, where lava flowed like the sea, and volcanoes stretched endlessly.
The air was filled with the scent of char, reminiscent of the “Slim Line of Fire Prison” he once encountered in the East Sea Pavilion, but the peril here seemed even greater.
He even noticed that there was no spiritual energy here at all; instead, the closer one got to the heat of the magma, the higher the concentration of impure Qi became.
An ordinary cultivator would suffer from obstruction of True Yuan and blocked meridians after staying here for just a short while.
But Wei Dongliu had the Chaotic Demon Body, so he naturally had no concern for the demonic aura of Hell.
Silently, he operated the ‘Exorcism Spirit Distinguishing Sutra,’ transforming into the appearance of a Demon Lord with red hair and heavy pupils.
“Not bad,” Luo Daozhang said approvingly.
“Even the Hell Demon Monarchs here might not be able to recognize that you’re from the Human Race.”
Wei Dongliu said nothing, merely suppressing the wild and proud emotions in his heart, remaining silent.
“Our Hell Path has remained undetected for thousands of years because our base is in the deepest layers of Hell,” Luo Daozhang explained as they continued forward.
“This deep in Hell, far from the Mortal World, even cultivators of high rank would struggle to stay for long without special methods.”
“Moreover, the deep Hell is completely submerged in the aura of Chaos, making it difficult for even the art of calculation to detect anything.
The Three Pure Ones have always suspected our presence in Hell but could not find any clues, and so their suspicions have remained just that.”
Before long, a city came into view.
The bricks were made of volcanic rock, the walls jagged like dog’s teeth.
Two ghastly figures, their flesh rotting and bones exposed, standing out of human shape, guarded the city gates.
Luo Daozhang led Wei Dongliu towards the city gates.
The two ghastly figures frowned at them, bloodlust shining in their eyes, but they seemed to hold back, not daring to act rashly.
“Don’t bother with them,” Luo Daozhang said calmly.
“I have an arrangement with the lord of this Demon Monarch City.
The Hell Path and they are clearly separated; we do not interfere with each other’s affairs.”
As he finished speaking, one of the ghastly figures suddenly spoke to Wei Dongliu in a hoarse voice:
“You…
which Demon Lord are you from?
Why are you mixing with this human?”
