Chapter 241: Attacking the Gates of Hell Xu Hui suddenly looked towards Han Yueyan...
Xu Hui suddenly looked at Han Yueyan, only to see that her face had turned gray and pale, and she looked a little worn out, like a dying person with only one breath left.
Rushing forward to inject life force into her, Han Yueyan's face regained its rosy complexion for a moment, but then became paler and bloodless at an even faster rate.
Wei Yuan was terrified and asked in anger and panic, "What's going on?"
He could only watch helplessly as his beloved's life rapidly slipped away. In a rage, he spat out a mouthful of blood and said viciously, "You better give me a reasonable explanation! Otherwise, I will bury you and the entire Wei family with you!"
Xu Hui's heart sank, and she quickly looked towards Wei Muheng.
He was not in a hurry, still making hand gestures, and a steady stream of blood was hitting the mysterious and terrifying black door with great force.
But the gate of hell was unusually strong and seemed impossible to open.
Wei Muheng's face was faintly covered with sweat, and his complexion was gradually turning pale. It was obvious that it was extremely difficult for him to maintain his composure.
But his voice remained steady, as calm as if it were a trivial matter. "You should know that our world has the Void Realm, also known as the Spirit Realm. But the Spirit Realm is very large. The normal areas where the spirits reside are no different from the ordinary world, merely suitable for their survival and cultivation. Strictly speaking, they are not ghosts. Then there's the Xuanming Realm, where the ghosts reside, and the extremely dangerous Youming Realm. These three places are in the same realm, but the level of danger is completely different, so they can't be considered the same. You can think of the Void Realm as a gathering place for several similar races, such as the spirits, ghosts, and Shuras."
He spoke slowly and calmly, but Wei Yuan was extremely anxious and asked anxiously, "And then?"
"Then?" Wei Muheng raised his eyebrows and paused, "There is no such thing as the gate of hell in our world."
Well? !
"Nothing?" Xu Hui was shocked. She pointed at the door and trembled uncontrollably. "Then what is this?"
Wei Muheng glanced at her calmly and explained in a relaxed and casual tone, "In our world, people are guided to the spirit world after death. Ordinary mortals lose consciousness after death and are reborn in the spirit world until their life as spirits comes to an end. They will then be reincarnated as humans, monsters, demons, and other races. The spirits also have a unique way of cultivation that can help them escape the cycle of reincarnation. Those who succeed will ascend to become immortals, while those who fail and do not want to enter the cycle of reincarnation will become ghosts and embark on the path of cultivating ghosts and gods."
"As for cultivators, especially high-ranking cultivators, if they can maintain a clear mind after death, they can also transform into spiritual cultivators. Whether or not to go to the spirit world is entirely up to personal preference. However, the spirit world is more suitable for spiritual cultivation. Staying in the cultivation world has many restrictions. The environment is not suitable for survival and cultivation, and is full of dangers. Of course, if there is a family that can provide a place for cultivation, that is also possible. Cultivating within the family means you are still a member of the family, but once you step into the spirit world, you belong to another race."
Xu Hui suddenly understood what was going on. It turned out that the cultivators who existed in the form of souls in the Wei family ancestral hall were unwilling to leave home!
The rules of death here are quite interesting, completely different from what she had heard, but more grand, just like the saying: life is death, and death is life!
In a sense, it is true!
Of course, except for the death.
Because of this rule, there is no so-called underworld in this world. Ghosts and gods are respected in the underworld, but they are ruled by strength, not by an administrative organization like the underworld.
After death, people will be reincarnated as spirits, and there is no so-called judgment.
But if this is the case, then there is no clear boundary between good people and bad people?
Perhaps her doubts were too noticeable, so Wei Muheng explained, "Those who have accumulated merit, whether they are reborn as spirits or reincarnated into other worlds, will have good luck and a smooth life, or at least live to old age without illness or disaster. However, those who have committed heinous crimes will encounter many hardships even if they are reincarnated, and they are likely to die prematurely. If this happens too often, their souls will continue to weaken until their souls are finally shattered."
After hearing this, Xu Hui suddenly realized that this was the rule of this world.
Growth is actually a way to nourish the soul, and the same is true for cultivation. The longer you live, the higher your level of cultivation, and the stronger your soul becomes.
Birth, on the other hand, is a process that consumes soul energy, whether one is born in the spiritual world or reincarnated into other worlds.
Frequent births will greatly consume soul power.
Those who commit many evil deeds often suffer miscarriages or die prematurely due to various accidents, and have no time to nourish their souls.
In this process, their soul power was gradually exhausted until they eventually died.
This setting is very reasonable and completely consistent with the characteristic of this world where everything is linked to merit.
"Then this gate of hell is..." Wei Yuan's voice trembled slightly. He had guessed the truth, but still found it hard to believe.
"This is the hell that stole Senior Han's soul and spirit." Wei Muheng's voice was calm and cold. "She took my family's Time-Preserving Pill. Her appearance hasn't changed, but her soul is still deteriorating. I asked the Wei family's spiritual cultivators to investigate and found that she had already lost one soul and one spirit. The reason she appears intact is because you used the power of the earth's core to make up for the missing parts."
Upon hearing this, Wei Yuan's whole body trembled violently, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Did I... do something wrong?"
"That's right, you did save Senior Wei's life, and Senior Wei's soul is also complete. If there are no accidents, he can ascend smoothly." The art of replenishing the soul has a long history, and many cultivators have experienced it without any major problems.
What's more, Wei Yuan used the center of the earth, the most original power of the world. It was very simple to replenish a human soul, so there would naturally be no problem.
"...But an accident still happened," Wei Yuan's voice trembled.
"Indeed, that lost soul and spirit were deliberately led to hell, where they were burned by the flames of hell. Although it was painful, it grew stronger day by day." He paused, then praised, "Senior Wei is truly a man of strong character. Despite the torment, he still managed to persevere."
Because that soul and spirit were so strong, they not only survived, but also became even stronger.
After all, it is Han Yueyan's soul. It would be fine if it disappears, but the sequelae of its survival would be serious.
One soul and one spirit were constantly eroded by death energy and burned by the fire of hell in hell, which affected Han Yueyan's original body and caused her other souls to carry indelible death energy.
Although they are separated by two worlds, the connection between souls is not so easy to break.
Originally, if a person's remaining soul is away from the body for too long, it will slowly disappear. This is the law of nature.
And Han Yueyan...well, so special!
Wei Muheng said calmly, "You can only blame yourself for offending Heaven. It's petty and deliberately taking revenge on you."
Doesn't digging into the earth's core require any price?
Even though Wei Yuan was extremely prepared, he was still tricked by the laws of nature in that world and Han Yueyan's soul and spirit were taken away.
But Han Yueyan was really strong. With only one soul and one spirit left, she remained indomitable. No matter how much pain she experienced, she still survived. As a result, she controlled the other souls of her body.
It is true that everything has cause and effect!
At first, Wei Muheng didn't notice this, he just felt that Han Yueyan was not in a good condition. After repeated investigations, he couldn't find the real reason.
It was only after he learned about the split Qilin soul that he began to wonder if there was a possibility that Han Yueyan had a problem with her soul, not her body, and they had been misled?
But after checking, he found that Han Yueyan's soul was intact. Thinking of Wei Yuan's audacity to use the center of the earth to repair the boundary wall, he came up with a bold idea.
He can’t find out by checking, but he can calculate it!
After some effort, Wei Muheng actually figured it out, which was quite unexpected.
No matter who is still alive, one of their souls and one spirit has become a ghost, being burned by the fire of hell, but still alive and well.
What kind of people are these!
Wei Muheng expressed his great admiration!
Now that the problem has been found, it must be solved. After all, they are the two major supporters of the Wei family. We can't give up no matter what, right?
The method is very simple. You can lead the soul and the spirit back. Whether they return to their original form or disappear, you can eliminate future troubles.
But is it so easy to retrieve the soul from the hell in another world?
That's why he brought people here, into a world of disordered rules.
Only here can one ignore the boundary between the two worlds and search for the location of Han Yueyan's soul and spirit with just a few drops of blood.
Otherwise, this place would be considered a big secret of this world, and how could outsiders be allowed to set foot here?
A soul-calling formation can also be set up in the Abyss of the Demonic Sea. At most, he will bear greater pressure and backlash. Compared with the secret place of the entire world, it is nothing.
But only here can we connect more easily with the outside world, where the rules are both orderly and disorderly.
You can only fish in muddy waters and find loopholes in confusing rules.
Wei Muheng also successfully found the hell that imprisoned one soul and one spirit, but... he still didn't consider enough.
The place was found, but it was extremely difficult to penetrate the wall and attack the Ghost Gate.
The color on Wei Muheng's face gradually faded, and beads of sweat began to flow. His voice was as steady as ever, "This is your birthplace. Is there any way to open this gate of hell?"
When his strength reached the other side, it was weakened by 99%. The remaining bit was because of the power of rules. Otherwise, it would have dissipated halfway before reaching the gates of hell.
But even if it was attacked, it would only be like a tickle. The Ghost Gate was tall and solid and was not affected at all.
"This soul-guiding formation that uses heart blood as a guide cannot last for too long. You need to find a solution as soon as possible," Wei Muheng said lightly, as if he was not in a hurry at all.
But Wei Yuan was anxious! Upon hearing this, his eyes were filled with gloom, and he immediately handed Han Yueyan to Xu Hui, "Please take good care of her for me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Yuan's momentum soared instantly. He swung his arm, and the surging spiritual power surged like a torrent, rushing straight towards the gates of hell.
Amidst a resounding bang, an immense force, with overwhelming force, slammed into the tightly closed door to the underworld, actually forcing open a tiny gap.
However, this gap disappeared in a flash, and the gate of hell seemed to have self-awareness and quickly closed again, leaving no chance for exploitation.
A solemn look flashed across Wei Yuan's brows, and he exerted force again without hesitation.
This time, when the tremendous force blasted the door open again, his body was like an arrow shot from a bow, and he rushed straight towards the fleeting gap with a desperate attitude, almost risking his life.
Immediately afterwards, a jaw-dropping scene took place.
Wei Yuan actually squeezed into the gate of hell, and then the gate of hell slammed shut again, as if nothing had happened.
Xu Hui was dumbfounded. This was... bravely entering the underworld!
Stimulate!
