As he spoke, Ye Feng flicked his hand, using his divine power to conjure up the image of Xiao Xuan.
Lan Zhong examined it carefully, then frowned.
"He looks somewhat familiar... but upon closer inspection, I don't quite recognize him. This... resembles... who did he look like again...?"
Seeing himself getting closer and closer to Xiao Xuan, Ye Feng couldn't help but step forward and grab her arm.
Just then,
"Buzz!"
A blue light shone, sending him flying thousands of meters.
Divine power...protects you!
A soul can actually be protected by divine power?
"Hehe, kid, even though I'm dead, I'm not someone you, a mere true god, can just do whatever you want with me... Wait, I remember now, this girl looks a lot like the Mysterious Maiden!"
Mysterious Woman!
Xiao Xuan was originally a manifestation of the other person's thoughts, so it's quite possible that her appearance isn't exactly the same.
"Please tell me, senior, where is this Mysterious Maiden located in the God Realm, how can I meet her, and what is her cultivation level?"
Lan Zhong's face showed a mocking expression.
"You, a mere True God, dare to dream of meeting the Mysterious Maiden... Heh, even when I was alive, it wasn't easy to see her!"
A hint of pride appeared on Lan Zhong's face.
"Although this Mystic Maiden is only at the God-King Realm like me, she is the only daughter of Emperor Shitian... Moreover, before I died, I heard that this Mystic Maiden seemed to be trying to break through to the Emperor Realm! You, a mere... no, you, at the True God Realm, how could you come to the Netherworld? Are you really from the Immortal Realm? What is the Immortal Emperor Realm? How dare a mere immortal call himself an Emperor?"
The title of Immortal Emperor didn't exist before, but it came into use after the Evil Tree descended to the mortal realm and the ascension path was severed...
Ye Feng, needing someone's help, recounted the whole story without hesitation.
"The World Tree... I see..."
Lan Zhong first looked enlightened, but then his eyes widened in surprise.
"You little brat, you're lying to me! You're radiating pure light, so incredibly pure... This isn't pseudo-divine power, it's clearly true divine power!"
Although Lan Zhong appeared extremely angry, that was about it.
Although Ye Feng couldn't do anything to him, Lan Zhong was even less likely to pose any threat to him.
But he was just telling the truth... The system's ability to exchange for true divine power—that's something that can't be denied.
But if that's not the case, how could one possibly obtain tens of thousands of points of true divine power in the lower realm?
"Senior Lan, everything I have said is true. As for why it is so, I have no idea. I beg you to help me this once and tell me about the Mysterious Maiden! I have heard that the Mysterious Maiden and the Thunder God have a long-standing feud. Is this true?"
Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Lan Zhong's expression showed even greater surprise and doubt.
They even know about the affairs of the divine realm, yet they claim the passage to the immortal realm is severed?
This guy... could he be an extraterrestrial god-emperor? Is his strength only reduced because he crossed the boundary?
Thinking of this, Lan Zhong's eyes widened, and divine power enveloped his entire body.
"Whoosh!"
Watching Lan Zhong disappear in the blink of an eye,
Ye Feng stared in disbelief for a long time before finally sighing and continuing his search for the soul.
A month has passed.
Bamboo Sword, Feng Minyi... we've almost found them all, only a few Yunxia disciples remain.
Throughout this process, Ye Feng kept an eye on his surroundings, hoping to see Lan Zhong again, or perhaps encounter another spirit from the divine realm.
But in the end, I didn't encounter any of them...
"There it is!"
The last soul was almost on the verge of fading into light. If Ye Feng hadn't found it, it might have been reincarnated in a short while.
Ye Feng collected the last soul and was preparing to return.
Suddenly, a curtain wall in the distance caught his eye...
"How come there's a wall here?"
Ye Feng flew along the curtain wall for hundreds of millions of miles, but still couldn't find its end.
"Could it be... that the other side is another immortal realm?"
What would happen if I went to other immortal realms?
Are the laws over there complete? Is it possible to go to that mortal world and perfect the laws of chaos throughout the universe?
He is now at the Immortal Emperor realm, but the Dark Cave Heaven and the Chaos Cave Heaven still cannot be merged.
His current strength far exceeds the level that the Immortal Realm can tolerate, yet he still cannot sense even the slightest bit of the divine realm's guiding power.
If I could perfect the Great Thousand Chaos as well...
His trading points currently hold trillions; a single glance... and he could instantly level up using those points...
Once the thought entered my mind, it lingered like a demon, refusing to leave.
If we can't get to the realm of gods, we can't save Xiao Xuan...
Only when the laws of chaos are perfected might I have a chance to break through them by force and open the passage...
As a living soul, I am constantly rejected by the Netherworld. If I can go there and follow the force of rejection, I can reach the mortal world.
Break through the Netherworld again, return to this barrier, and go back to the Celestial Realm...
To go, or not to go...
Although Ye Feng hadn't made up his mind yet, his hands had already unconsciously pressed against the curtain wall...
"If it were me, I wouldn't have done that!"
A familiar voice rang out, and Ye Feng turned his head to see that it was Lan Zhong who had come!
"Senior Lan!"
Lan Zhong nodded, glanced at the curtain wall, and then looked Ye Feng up and down.
"You're really not an extraterrestrial god-emperor?"
"I am merely an Immortal Emperor from the Immortal Realm... I am absolutely not exaggerating!"
After Ye Feng finished speaking, he expected Lan Zhongde to question him again.
Unexpectedly, this time he nodded.
"That makes sense. Even an ordinary god wouldn't touch the boundary with their body like you!"
What a boundary!
"Senior, how do I cross this boundary?"
"It's simple! With divine power protecting you, just charge straight in!"
"Then what you just did..."
In this Netherworld, Ye Feng was constantly protected by divine power, but just as he was about to touch the boundary wall, he said...
"I just said I wouldn't do it, not that you wouldn't do it... Also, I just thought you couldn't get through it alive, not that you couldn't die!"
Will I die?
Ye Feng turned his head and glanced at the quiet curtain wall, feeling somewhat incredulous.
"If you think that you, a true god, can pass through the Chaos Barrier that even a God-King cannot pass through... you can try!"
Even the God King couldn't pass... Although Ye Feng wasn't entirely convinced, he decided to try again later.
"Do you know that the Netherworld of all realms is located in one place?"
"Of course I know that!"
Otherwise, he wouldn't have entered from the celestial realm to search for those who died in the mortal world.
"Hmph..."
Lan Zhong snorted twice.
"The myriad realms I'm referring to aren't the myriad realms you're thinking of, but... the myriad realms of the heavens! Countless mortal realms, countless immortal realms... and countless divine realms!"
What?
Are there countless more in the realm of gods?!
Just as Ye Feng was about to ask for details, he saw Lan Zhong narrow his eyes and say slowly,
"I think you should go back now!"
Why?
"Do you know that one day in the Netherworld is equivalent to one year on Earth? This applies whether you enter from the mortal realm, the celestial realm, or even the divine realm!"
"this..."
Ye Feng's face showed a disbelieving smile.
"Senior, you must be joking. The flow of time is different in the mortal realm and the immortal realm... How could... possibly..."
Although his face showed disbelief, Lan Zhong's expression was extremely serious.
"This is the common destiny of all the heavens and myriad realms, how can you possibly understand it with your shallow knowledge?"
"Hurry up and go! You'll find out when you get back."
"It's too late, you might miss your chance!"
For a soul in the mortal realm, one day here is equivalent to one year when it returns; for a soul in the celestial realm... and even the divine realm, one day is equal to one year.
Although Ye Feng's mind was a complete mess, he didn't hesitate. He immediately channeled all his divine power into his body.
I've been in the Netherworld for over thirty days now, isn't that...?
After a brief exchange, Ye Feng's soul gradually disappeared. This wasn't a true disappearance, but rather the part that vanished returned to the Immortal Realm.
"Senior, I'll come see you again in a while. I have many questions and hope to get your guidance..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Feng had completely disappeared from the Netherworld.
