Chapter 19: The Yellow Springs, the Flower on the Other Shore



As everyone continued to descend, the yin energy around them became thicker and thicker.

In the end, it almost condensed into a purple-black mist visible to the naked eye, slowly rolling near the ground like tangled and wriggling tentacles, which made people instinctively tremble with fear and feel cold all over.

"The yin energy here seems to be different from the absolute yang place last time." Wei Dongliu suddenly said, "It feels different."

"That's right." Jiang Li'an also agreed, "If the Yin energy last time gave people a feeling of 'heavy', then this time it feels 'cold'."

“Little human, this shows that you have no knowledge of death at all.” Feitian Yaksha extended his pointed tongue, licked his lips, and said with an evil smile, “As long as you have had a near-death experience, you will definitely remember this breath.”

"So what do you know about death, Senior Yaksha?" Long Xiaoqi asked quickly.

"Death." Fei Tian Yasha sighed half-seriously, "It is an extremely terrifying destination, but one that you cannot refuse."

"Okay, stop showing off your experience here." Wei Dongliu interrupted him and asked, "How far is it to the Yellow Springs Rift?"

"It's just around the corner in front, about twenty steps ahead." Feitian Yaksha replied.

"Daoyou Wei," Wen Yang suddenly said, "If there really is no Nine Nether Yin Soul Stone outside, I suggest you don't risk entering the Yellow Springs Fissure."

"In the Yellow Springs rift, the extremely yin and foul air is as vast as the sea, omnipresent, and highly corrosive to living things. If an ordinary cultivator enters that place, the foul air will enter their body within two or three hours, and their flesh will decay and turn into a corpse."

"I don't think so." Fei Tian Yaksha objected, "Master, don't you have that...something called the Demon Lord Dharmakaya?"

"As long as you open your Dharma body, you will be no different from us zombies. No matter how dark the yin energy is, it won't matter to you, right?"

Wei Dongliu's mind turned slightly, but he didn't say anything. He just stared at the brown eyes of the Flying Yaksha, as if trying to discern what it was thinking.

The other party was right. The most amazing thing about this mysterious character's gifted "Chaos Demon Body" was that he was completely not afraid of evil spirits. Not to mention the Nine Netherworld, he could even pass through the lowest level of hell at will.

It’s just that the monsters inside are hard to deal with.

Also, looking at the look of Flying Yaksha, it seems that he really wants me to enter the Yellow Springs Fissure?

Wei Dongliu did not trust Feitian Yaksha, because zombies were created from the most yin and foul energy between heaven and earth, and naturally harbored hatred and hostility towards any living creature.

It's just that the opponent is a so-called "high-level zombie" with his own consciousness and wisdom. In addition, he is threatened by the handleless locust wood sword, so he has to submit to himself and cooperate obediently.

If given the right opportunity, the other party will kill without hesitation.

"Master Sword Master, you must be careful." Qingping Sword also reminded, "Don't forget, this flying yaksha has two restraints."

"One is the handleless locust wood sword. This object is refined together with it during the corpse refining stage, causing the qi to connect with each other. You can control it through the handleless locust wood sword. This is one of them."

"The second is the seal on its cultivation. This seal makes it difficult for it to use its sinister zombie abilities. It can only use physical attacks and a few secret techniques."

"At the same time, this seal is also a kind of protection for it, because this flying yaksha has already reached the perfect state of cultivation, and the next step is to evolve into a drought demon."

"If even a little bit of the aura leaks out, it will immediately bring about a heavenly calamity, but the seal prevents this from happening. This is the second reason."

"I see." After being reminded by Qingping Sword, Wei Dongliu quickly realized, "If you enter the Yellow Springs Rift, it is equivalent to entering another world, which is naturally isolated from the outside world."

"By then, if it still has a way to remove the seal, it won't have to worry about attracting a heavenly calamity after the seal is removed. This means that the second restriction will be severely weakened, right?"

"That's right." Kunlun Mirror also agreed, "The reason it lured you in must be that it was not without any preparation. You must be careful."

"If it really has set some traps inside, or has some hidden plots, Master Sword Master only needs to pretend to be hesitant, and the Flying Yaksha will definitely come up with more tricks to convince you to choose to go in." Qingping Sword also said with a sneer.

Sure enough, seeing Wei Dongliu was silent for a long time, Feitian Yaksha seemed to suddenly remember something, clapped his hands and said:

"Oh, Master! I just remembered that in the Nine Netherworld, there is a strange thing called 'Bianhua'. Eating its petals can increase your cultivation by fifty years."

After it said this, even Wen Yang, who had originally strongly opposed entering the underworld, immediately began to waver.

Not to mention Witch Jiang, who originally didn't care, now began to roll her eyes and quickly weigh the pros and cons.

Only Long Xiaoqi remained in a listening posture, seemingly not tempted at all - after all, the demon pills formed by the demons' transformations depended entirely on the level of their own bloodlines, and did not follow the rules of the human cultivators' ninth-level golden pill system.

After a while, Wen Yang shook his head and said:

"If I die in there, what good will it do even if I have the Purple Mansion Secret Medicine that has lasted for fifty years?"

"Can the red spider lily be brought out?" Long Xiaoqi asked curiously.

“No.” Feitian Yaksha said with an evil smile, “This flower grows in the underworld, and needs to use its roots to absorb the water of the underground Forgotten River in order to survive.”

"If you tear off the flower stem, it will wither and die immediately. It would be better to just pick off the petals, but they will only last for ten breaths. You need to consume it as soon as possible."

With this explanation, it completely eliminated the possibility of "letting the flying yaksha go to the underworld alone to fetch the red spider lily for it".

"In that case, Fellow Daoist Wen and Fellow Daoist Long can stay outside, and I will accompany Fellow Daoist Wei in." Jiang Li'an suggested.

"Are you planning to go in too?" Wei Dongliu asked in surprise.

If he went in alone, Wei Dongliu would have no worries at all. After all, he had the knowledgeable Qingping Sword and the nearly omnipotent Kunlun Mirror to help him. If things really didn't work out, he could always teleport away.

But if Witch Jiang accompanied him in and then encountered some danger inside, he would have no guarantee of saving her.

"Yes." Witch Jiang said with a smile, "We in the Heavenly Demon Sect also have secret methods that can resist the erosion of the negative energy from the outside world as much as possible. Fellow Daoist Wei, there is no need to worry about me."

It seems that he was dazzled by the fifty years of cultivation of the red spider lily.

Wei Dongliu shook his head and was about to hint to her that this flying yaksha must have some conspiracy, when he suddenly heard Kunlun Mirror say:

"Let her go, she'll be fine."

"What do you mean?" Wei Dongliu was startled at first, then quickly realized that Kunlun Jing said "nothing will happen", "Could it be that she also has some secret method to save her life?"

"I guess so." Kunlun Jing said ambiguously, "In fact, the only one who really needs to worry about Feitian Yaksha's conspiracy is you."

Good fellow! Wei Dongliu laughed angrily, "Are you saying that I am actually weaker than Witch Jiang?"

Then I'll have to see it carefully later!

"Okay!" He made the decision, "Friends Wen and Long, since you two don't want to come in, can you help us guard outside? If you don't want to, we won't force you."

"Since I have agreed to accompany you, I will not leave early." Wen Yang immediately expressed his attitude, and Long Xiaoqi had no objection, "Let's stay here and wait for the two to return."

"Fellow Daoist Jiang." Wei Dongliu lowered his head slightly, stared into Jiang Li'an's eyes, and said meaningfully, "I don't think I need to remind you of the dangers in the Nine Netherworld. If you are really determined to go in, you must be fully prepared."

"Of course." Jiang Li'an said seriously.

The reason she said this was that she believed in her keen intuition about danger.

The Yellow Springs Rift is not a place where you can only enter but not exit. If you really encounter a dangerous situation where you are in danger of death, you will definitely have an intuition in advance and can escape immediately at that time.

"Then let's go." Wei Dongliu nodded and gave the order.
