Underworld (ghost world)——
When they stepped into the underworld (ghost world), Gu Qingze was confused. Murong Jin seemed to be checking in, as if he was planning to travel through all four realms.
However, despite his mental preparation, the scene in the underworld (ghost world) still exceeded Gu Qingze's expectations. It was roughly consistent with his imagination, but the details were even more terrifying and gloomy.
The underworld (ghost world) is like a mysterious place tightly wrapped in endless darkness and deep fog. It is like the final destination of countless unfinished love affairs and deep regrets in the world.
In this area, the gentle sunlight of the day seems to be forever shut out, replaced by a never-ending coldness and silence.
They silently penetrate into every inch of space, making people feel a chill in their hearts.
The air is filled with an indescribable solemnity and sadness, which are intertwined together, as if whispering the sorrow and reluctance of the past.
The moment you step into the underworld (ghost world), what comes into view is a gray sky, as if it is stained by the sighs of countless dead souls, blocking all light, and only occasionally a strange purple electric light tears through the silence.
In the air of the underworld (ghost world), there is an indescribable fragrance floating in the air. It is the unique scent of the red spider lily, which only blooms brilliantly in the underworld.
The red spider lilies are as red as blood, both gorgeous and with a hint of sadness. They are scattered in every corner of the underworld, adding a touch of strange vitality and mysterious atmosphere to this dead world.
In this vast underworld (ghost world), the most eye-catching things are undoubtedly the wandering souls.
They have various shapes, and some are even left with only vague figures, and their remaining consciousness is like a wisp of smoke, floating in the air.
Some of these souls wander alone, while others gather in groups and communicate in whispers. Although their voices are weak, they are full of endless sadness and longing. They seem to be looking for something lost, or looking forward to a moment of liberation.
These wandering souls made Gu Qingze feel a chill running through his heart. He followed Murong Jin closely, not daring to relax at all.
In contrast, Murong Jin appeared calm and composed, as if he knew the environment of the underworld (ghost world) very well.
As he walked steadily forward, he explained in detail to Gu Qingze the rules and order of the underworld (ghost world). Gu Qingze listened attentively, fearing that he would accidentally violate any taboos in this unfamiliar place.
In the depths of the underworld (ghost world), they met an old ghost who looked old but had extremely sharp eyes.
The old ghost claimed to be a guide from the underworld (ghost world) and expressed his sincere welcome to Murong Jin and Gu Qingze.
Under the guidance of the old man, they went deeper into the core area of the underworld (ghost world) step by step.
The further Gu Qingze walked, the more he felt something was wrong. As he went deeper into the core area of the underworld, the more he could feel an invisible force trying to drag his soul, causing him to shiver involuntarily.
The air around him became extremely heavy, and every breath seemed to devour the surrounding coldness and silence.
His intuition strongly warned him that there were unknown dangers ahead, and if he went forward... he would die.
This was the first time he had such a strong intuition, which almost made him want to stop immediately and escape from this place full of unknown and fear.
Murong Jin noticed Gu Qingze's abnormality and whispered in his ear, "Don't try to escape. You may still have a chance of survival if you don't run away, but if you run now, then... you will definitely die."
After he finished speaking, he patted his shoulder, then took another step ahead of him and continued forward.
This is a threat to him, right? This is definitely a threat to him, right?!
But... he knew clearly that what Murong Jin said was indeed true.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner panic, gritted his teeth, suppressed the urge to escape, followed closely behind Murong Jin, and continued to advance towards the core area of the underworld.
The old man led them through a door woven from dark blue flames. The flames were hot on the outside but icy cold to the touch. This was an energy barrier unique to the underworld.
Crossing this door, they stepped into a deeper and more mysterious realm - the soul furnace of the underworld (ghost world).
This is the heart of the underworld (ghost world) and the final resting place of all the dead souls.
Inside the furnace, countless soul fires are leaping and dancing, and each flame symbolizes a life that once existed.
However, their final destination was not here. The old man seemed to be just passing by and continued to lead them forward, which made Gu Qingze feel even more uneasy.
They kept moving forward, forward...
Suddenly, a trace of inexplicable fear appeared on the old man's face, and then he stopped.
"I can only lead you here." said the old man.
"It's okay, this is enough, you can go back." Murong Jin responded, and handed the old man some property from the underworld (ghost world) as a reward.
The old man quickly estimated the amount based on the thickness of the treasure. A joyful smile suddenly spread across his face, and he murmured to himself, "This trip was indeed not in vain. The risk I took was truly worth it."
As he spoke, he drifted away from their sight.
