Although there is no scorching sun above our heads in this desert, it still feels extremely hot.

And there is almost no moisture in the air.

If a cultivator with water attributes were to come here, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to squeeze out even the simplest water ball.

Not only is the environment harsh, the rules of heaven and earth here are also terrifying.

Every step forward feels as tiring as a day's walk.

Walking 365 steps here is like walking for a year without sleep, food or drink! It is an extremely tiring experience.

Even Jiang Li found it difficult to bear that kind of fatigue.

Think about the thirteen stations in the underworld. This is probably one of the common characteristics of the underworld, that is, the road is always very difficult to walk! As for the reason for the evolution of such an environment, it is simple.

That’s because in the neighboring world of Kyushu, there are too many ghosts dying every day and night, either from natural causes or accidents.

To prevent these ghosts from filling up the Yama Palace and causing the underworld to become paralyzed.

The method chosen by the powerful underworld at that time was to increase the distance and prolong the time.

When the distance is long enough and difficult enough to walk, it can dilute the ghosts pouring into the underworld to a great extent.

Then slowly deal with the sins that the ghosts committed in their lifetime.

For example, which of the eighteen levels of hell one should go to, or which of the six realms of reincarnation one should be reborn into.

In addition, Jiang Li also realized that this Yellow Springs Road and the Thirteen Underworld Stations he passed before should all be controllable by someone.

Depending on the number of ghosts pouring into the underworld, the journey can be long or short, and the levels can be difficult or easy.

In this way, the time it takes for ghosts to travel through the underworld can be flexibly controlled.

But now, there is no control over the King of Hell and the Judges.

Originally, the Yellow Springs Road, which should have been folded and contracted, was now completely spread out.

The other levels were also completely open, and the difficulty was inhumane, and it looked as if they didn't want the ghost to reach the end at all.

This is very difficult for the contemporary Human Emperor who has no special connections and needs to come here on foot.

In the yellow sand storm that was as fierce as a knife, even he looked a little dusty and disheveled at the moment.

He stopped to catch his breath for a moment, and with the nourishment of many states in his body, he quickly got rid of the dry cough and fatigue in his body.

As for the most difficult soul test, he did not feel it obviously.

Because his soul, with the help of a pool of Yellow Spring water, had already solidified and settled like a physical entity.

With the protection of the Lotus of Merit of the Netherworld, even if only his original spirit is exposed, he can easily withstand the storm and yellow sand of the Netherworld.

What's more, this is under the premise of having strong physical protection.

"Huh? How many steps did I take just now?"

Scratching his head, Jiang Li was a little confused.

With his current level of cultivation, just in terms of memory, it is far superior to the super memory he had heard of in his previous life.

Even if you don't try to remember, you shouldn't be able to forget the number of steps you took.

Was it because he was too tired? Looking at the long trail of footprints behind him.

"If someone else comes, I'm afraid it will take three thousand years for them to get here."

"It seems that this is destined to be a lonely journey."

He smiled bitterly, shook his head and continued walking forward.

But after walking for another three days, Jiang Li vaguely saw a human figure in the yellow sand ahead.

"There are still people in this damn place!?"

He immediately perked up his nerves and quickened his pace to chase after him.

Jiang Li himself is extremely powerful, his soul is tough, and he is in many states. Even the seven attributes of immortal energy are flowing out of his body unconsciously, and he can nourish it however he wants.

Only with such favorable conditions can we get here in a short time.

But if it were someone else, even if they had reached the pinnacle of strength and had the Three Flowers Gathered at the Top of the Head and the Five Qis Converging to Origin, it would still be extremely difficult to come here.

Who is that person in front?

To be able to come here under such harsh rules of heaven and earth, he must be a strong person no matter what.

"Fellow Daoist! Please stay!"

Jiang Li shouted in a friendly manner and walked closer to the other party on the yellow sand under his feet.

But as soon as he got closer, he felt that the other person's back seemed unusually familiar.

The man was relatively short and looked like a teenager.

While walking, he was not as calm as Jiang Li. He was sweating profusely and panting like a cow.

Hearing Jiang Li's voice, he turned around.

A pair of familiar yet unfamiliar eyes looked at him.

The contemporary Human Emperor suddenly felt a sense of inexplicable absurdity.

But before he could say anything more, the man in front of him turned around and rushed towards him.

"Wait, who are you!?"

Jiang Li felt as if he knew him, as if he had seen this face before.

While he was thinking, the other party had already rushed to him.

His speed was not slow, but for Jiang Li, it was very slow.

His hands and feet were weak, but he had some momentum. He jumped high up and pounced on Jiang Li.

Like a tiger leaping into the mountains.

The young man roared like a tiger in his chest, and his hands, like tiger claws, grabbed Jiang Li's face.

That was actually... just a warrior from a mortal kingdom.

Even among warriors, his strength can only be considered excellent.

It was completely different from his previous assumptions about the strong.

"This person looks so familiar! I must have seen him somewhere."

Bang! A figure was knocked out, tumbling in the yellow sand, and swallowed a mouthful of bitter sand.

But what was unbelievable was that the person who was beaten away was not the young man, but the Lord of Fengdu City, who had reached the top of the Nine Provinces in terms of cultivation strength, and the contemporary Human Emperor! "What the hell is going on!?"

Jiang Li couldn't hide the shock on his face at all. His expression was a hundred times more exaggerated than when he had caught Jiang Ziya before.

Just now, he was planning to capture the young man and find out what was going on with him.

But in just this short confrontation, his immense power disappeared completely without any explanation.

There was no trace of spiritual energy in the body.

"How is this possible!?"

Pah, pah, pah, he spat out a few mouthfuls of sand that was stuck on the mucous membrane and between the teeth.

His face was burning with pain, and there were four bloody scratches on it.

He quickly turned over, and the young man on the other side rushed forward again.

The sand and dirt were splashed by the swung sword. It was bad enough that the opponent launched an unsportsmanlike sneak attack at the beginning, but now he even got a weapon from nowhere.

Jiang Li didn't have time to worry about anything else, as something was about to burst out in his head.

"Sui Hu Gong! Kai Shan Sword! What a big surprise!"

Jiang Li looked at the other person again. That still young face. The vague sense of familiarity just now had become completely clear.

Isn’t this exactly the face he saw in the reflection of the river when he first came into this world!

The young man who used the Suihu Kung Fu was obviously Jiang Li.

Wait a minute, how come I look like a teenager in the eyes of others? He glanced at his hands and found that they were indeed two or three sizes smaller.

And he has returned to his childish appearance that has never experienced the blood and rain.

The two sides looked at each other for a moment in the yellow sand, and Jiang Li decisively turned around and ran.

Just kidding, no matter how good your kung fu skills are, you’re still afraid of a kitchen knife.

He had tried, and now he couldn't find any spiritual energy at all.

It seemed that he had turned back into the weak and powerless young boy seeking immortality, with only a few mortal martial arts skills left to him.

Besides, he still hasn't figured out what happened.

How can I have the time to fight a desperate battle with a guy who looks exactly like me back then!

He was running desperately in front, and the fake Jiang Li was chasing him desperately from behind.

Since the strength of both sides is exactly the same, they always maintain the same distance, neither getting closer nor getting further away.

Jiang Li took the opportunity to calm down and pulled out his status panel.

Seeing that the four-dimensional attributes, which were already astronomical in number, were still intact, the thousands of gains below were also intact.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Jiang Li almost breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really scared that everything before was just a dream.

But how could one dream of such a real and powerful power? He still remembered the scent of Qixia, the Cloud Princess of the Cloud Palace, and the fragrance of Shenshan Qiuhua, the descendant of Nuwa. How could they be just fantasies? He kept flipping through the pages and finally found the culprit of the current situation.

[Nine Netherworld Trial, Great Dream of the Underworld] (-+)

"Dreamland! This vast desert of yellow sand is indeed a dreamland!"

The contemporary Human Emperor heaved a sigh of relief, and the strength in his body seemed to reappear in him along with his confidence.

"It's just... the Nine Nether Trial? When did I accept the trial?"

Thinking of this, it seemed as if some barrier in his brain was suddenly broken.

Some memories that were temporarily blocked by dreams suddenly came back to mind.

“So, it was at that time!”

At that time, when Jiang Li touched the Yellow Springs boundary monument, a strange and familiar force surged out from it.

It produced an indescribable strong resonance with the Nine Netherworld cultivation in the body of the contemporary Human Emperor and the Netherworld Green Lotus on his head.

He immediately understood that someone in the past had left behind an opportunity to reorganize the Nine Netherworlds and rebuild the underworld.

The triggering condition is to have enough merit in the underworld and one of the nine inheritances of the underworld.

Jiang Li's Nine Nether Taoist Scripture, which came from the Nine Nether Wood, is exactly the inheritance of the ninth level of the underworld.

This naturally triggered a resonance.

Then he discovered that there was a trial hidden in the boundary monument.

If you can pass it, you will be able to control the entire Yellow Springs Road.

Jiang Li, who was full of confidence, came here for this purpose.

So at that time, he immediately responded to the power in the boundary monument and took the initiative to accept the trial.

But Jiang Li still underestimated the power of the Nine Netherworlds.

A big dream of the underworld directly blocked many of his memories.

What’s more, Jiang also possesses the talent for dreams.

Moreover, with the numerous dead souls in the City of the Dead and the dreams of countless human beings in the Kyushu Continent as nourishment, his dream power was cultivated to an extremely terrifying level in a short period of time.

This was able to resist most of the memory blocking.

If not for this, Jiang Li would probably have forgotten who he was and the wonderful experiences he had in this world for several years.

He was suddenly cleared of the memory of when he first traveled through time, and then, looking at the sky full of yellow sand, he complained that he was the most unlucky traveler.

It is also because of his powerful soul and the enormous power of his soul.

Only when Jiang Li saw the Sui Hu Gong Kai Shan Sword did he suddenly recall what he used to look like.

Only then can you recall the scene of accepting the trial before when you see the trial status on the status panel.

It’s okay!

Fortunately, I have a wide range of interests and know a little bit about everything.

Otherwise, if he really had to go through the trial with the same mental state he had at the beginning of the time travel, he would have no chance of defeating the guy chasing him.

The journey during that period was too much for him and he had already turned into dry bones in the yellow sand.

Of course that wouldn't really be death.

But his soul has been damaged and his realm has regressed, so I'm afraid he can't escape.

And the failure of the most crucial trial was a consequence he was unwilling to bear.

Jiang Li did not use the status bar to eliminate the trial status.

After closing the status panel, turn your head and look back again.

“Is this guy my inner demon?”

"You should be the original Jiang Li."

The way Jiang Li came to this world was by taking over another's body and being reborn.

Although I never said it, I still felt a little bit concerned in my heart.

I feel a little guilty for robbing someone else's child of his body.

Some people with obsessive-compulsive disorder use the body that has been used by others.

I am a little worried, afraid that the other person's soul is still hidden in the body or somewhere in the world.

There are some, other concerns that exist.

But today, with his cultivation level and the techniques he practiced.

It is absolutely certain that there is absolutely no second Jiang Li in his body.

There were only some ghosts that he captured and refined using the Nine Netherworld Taoist Scripture.

Therefore, the guy in front of him was just a little bit demonic because of his concerns.

"I'm so sorry."

Jiang Li turned sideways and easily avoided the opponent's powerful attack.

Although his physical strength remained the same, the opponent could no longer cut him.

"Sorry, I put so many Qingxin Zhannian states on me."

"I was so busy and so fast that I didn't have time to stop and think."

"I'm sorry, inner demon, for not giving you a chance to grow over the years."

After dodging the long sword, he thought about it and a similar refined long sword appeared at his waist.

After easily blocking the opponent's attack, he backhandedly knocked down the opponent's sword.

"My inner demon is really not very strong."

Jiang Li thrust the sword forward, and the tip of the sword immediately pierced the fake Jiang Li's chest.

With a stir, the heart inside was completely useless.

But the tone of his voice was somewhat disappointed.

Because isn’t it said that by defeating the inner demon you can gain all of that demon’s power and thus greatly increase your strength?

If I had known this earlier, I should have taken the initiative to cultivate my inner demons.

Now, isn't this just one less experience pack? After getting rid of his inner demon, Jiang Li seemed to have a small, unimportant shackle unlocked from his heart.

Then, his eyes blurred and he had escaped from the dream and returned to the real road to the underworld.

His right hand was still holding the boundary marker, and in front of him, the originally endless desert finally changed. A huge river rolled across it.
