Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

Chapter 995: Chapter 130: Wings Must Not Lack Any Feather

Today, the Divine Land Continent is completely submerged under the endless deep sea.

The immense water pressure has leveled most of the buildings, leaving no traces at all.

If it’s a large city, because its walls and gates are constructed with hard stone bricks, some ruins are still left behind.

Wei Dongliu followed the low-lying areas of the seabed, struggling to identify the traces of the original river valleys, and upon finding a place with ruins, he could roughly guess which grand city it corresponded to in the outside world.

By groping so cautiously, he finally found the location of the ancient capital city.

In this mystical realm, all the terrain probably originates from the elder’s own memories. If the ancient capital’s Prison Dragon Well cannot lead to the Nine Serenities Underworld, or if there’s simply no Nine Serenities Underworld in the mystical realm, then everything Wei Dongliu is doing would be in vain.

Therefore, upon first entering the mystical realm, he straightforwardly asked the elder whether there exists a “Nine Serenities Underworld and Hell.”

Receiving an answer, he could then proceed accordingly.

Upon finding the location of the Prison Dragon Well, Wei Dongliu swiftly controlled his sword and descended into the well.

Indeed, although the path inside had changed somewhat, it was roughly similar to Luo Yan’s memory—the elder seemed to have been here before.

Upon reaching the depths of the Prison Dragon Well, Wei Dongliu found the earth vein entrance, unobstructed by any old dragon clogging the entrance.

The earth vein entrance looked like a damaged skin wound, with a faint dark blue glow emitting, a manifestation of Yin energy.

Wei Dongliu activated his Chaotic Demon Body state and then leaped into the earth vein entrance.

The Nine Serenities Underworld, the eighteen Hells, each level is a world on its own, and the further you go down, the denser the Yin energy becomes.

Last time, when he came with Jiang Lian, both having relatively low cultivation realms, they did not dare to linger too long, only collecting some otherworldly flowers along the River of Forgetfulness before hurriedly leaving.

Now that Wei Dongliu’s demonic techniques are tremendously advanced, he naturally isn’t afraid of ordinary ghost soldiers, but to avoid troublesome interrogations and inspections, he transformed into a mass of black fog and swiftly swept through the air.

Hmm?

Wei Dongliu suddenly noticed that there seemed to be no ghost soldiers guarding the entrance to the Gate of the Ghosts below.

Could it be that this apocalyptic crisis has already spread to Hell?

Recalling the elder’s words, that Hell’s underworld is more heavily affected by the apocalyptic crisis, Wei Dongliu started having some suspicions.

In different levels of the Netherworld Cave Heaven, they are likewise interconnected through earth vein entrances. Wei Dongliu found an entrance and immediately descended to the second level.

“Ah Jing,” he said inwardly, “have you noticed?”

“Yes,” the Kunlun Mirror replied solemnly, “more damage on the regulatory level, but on the physical level…”

“Hardly any direct attacks,” Wei Dongliu stated directly.

He slowly scanned the surroundings, confirming once again that the Yin energy flow within the Netherworld Underworld has become chaotic.

Taking the outside world as an example, famous mountains and rivers are often rich in spiritual energy, and it becomes more scarce as you go outward.

In this way, cultivators can pinpoint locations to ensure that their cultivation enjoys the best spiritual energy environment.

In the Netherworld Hell, Yin energy should have a similar situation: wherever the river flows towards lower terrains, the Yin energy accumulates more intensely.

But now, in this mystical realm, the Yin energy flow has become entirely erratic, without any pattern at all—if a ghost cultivator were practising here, they would surely go mad.

However, although the energy flow path has been completely destroyed, due to the layers of the earth’s crust shielding, the water of the Milky Way and burning stars outside have not affected the Netherworld Hell at all.

That is to say, if Daoist Luo of the Hell Path truly had a method to seal Hell with fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone and subsequently reorganize the flow path of Yin energy, creating a human race sanctuary would not be entirely impossible.

Of course, transforming Yin energy into spiritual energy that human race cultivators can use is not something an ordinary cultivator can achieve. The sanctuary crafted by the Hell Path might only allow Hell Path cultivators to survive unencumbered.

Wei Dongliu continued searching for earth vein entrances, gradually diving into the lower layers of the Netherworld Hell.

The further down he went, the more violent the flow of Yin energy became, and its purity also significantly decreased, appearing thick and filthy.

Fortunately, with his Chaotic Demon Body, he had quite some resistance to these filthy impurities. With other cultivators coming down, just a single breath of this could make their meridians decay and die.

“Something is wrong,” Wei Dongliu said surprised, “If my memory serves right, the further down Hell goes, the higher the purity of Yin energy should be.”

“Precisely because of this, the ghost soldiers and demon lords in Hell generally become more powerful further down… If it were like this, becoming more filthy, then the deeper parts of Hell would really be barren.”

“Actually, this is normal,” the Summoning Sword voiced, “In the Heavenly Sphere world, pure Qi is light, and turbid Qi is heavy, thus turbid Qi will ‘descend’ toward the center and gather, which forms the Yin energy.”

“And within the Heart of the Earth is where the ‘chaos’ of the Heavenly Sphere world resides. Yin energy inherently has a strong inertia, so it can seal the chaos of the Heart of the Earth, preventing it from disturbing the outside world.”

“But now, due to the apocalyptic crisis causing the flow of Yin energy to become violent and disorderly, it can no longer continue sealing the deeper chaos, which is why the surrounding environment has become extremely filthy.”
