Everyone stood there watching quietly, no one daring to take a step forward.
As for Liu Xiaoyuan, he watched the spectacle, wondering which of these sects would dare to be the first to step forward. In Liu Xiaoyuan's view, this so-called Underworld Family was probably not the Underworld itself.
If the underworld of Yama, the King of Hell, were really that easy to find, it would probably be completely ransacked by cultivators.
In Liu Xiaoyuan's view, the reason why this Underworld House was given such a name was simply to scare people and make those who entered it panic.
As for the eerie and terrifying aura inside, any cultivator could achieve that.
Therefore, according to Liu Xiaoyuan's deduction, this so-called underworld is a deceptive trick. Although there are dangers inside, it is definitely not the so-called underworld.
Liu Xiaoyuan guessed that some sect elders had also thought of this, but there must be two reasons why they did not take action. First, they were afraid of the worst-case scenario; if it really was the underworld, then things would be terrible.
Secondly, even if this isn't the real underworld, it's still definitely dangerous, and nobody wants to be the first to charge in and become the first to stick their neck out.
It is precisely because of this kind of thinking that everyone is wasting their time here, since everyone has plenty of time anyway.
These cultivators had time, and Liu Xiaoyuan had even more time. He didn't care about magic treasures at all. He had come along just to avoid the hustle and bustle, so he didn't care what these people did. Even if they stood there for months without moving, Liu Xiaoyuan wouldn't be surprised.
More than two hours had passed, and finally some sects couldn't hold on any longer. They felt that standing here was pointless, and even if they stood here for a lifetime, it wouldn't have any effect.
So the elders of this sect sought the opinions of other sects: should they go in together?
Many sects share this view: either don't go in or leave now; or if you're going in, go in as soon as possible and don't linger here.
“Alright, let’s all go in together, shall we?” one of the sect elders nodded and said.
“Alright, let’s go in together. No one can back down.” The elder leading the other sect immediately agreed.
So, the elders of more than a dozen sects nodded in agreement and agreed to go in together.
As the count of "one, two, three" rang out, these cultivators rushed directly into the Underworld House. Seeing that everyone had gone in, Liu Xiaoyuan did not dare to delay and immediately followed.
Upon entering the House of the Underworld, Liu Xiaoyuan's first impression was that it was eerie and gloomy, giving him goosebumps and making him feel uncomfortable all over.
Moreover, the dim lighting inside makes it feel like the underworld, which involuntarily evokes a sense of fear.
However, any normal person would know that this is not the underworld, because the underworld would surely have ghosts and ox-headed and horse-faced demons.
After walking several hundred meters towards the House of the Underworld, we entered a vast, open area. It was barren, with only yellow earth everywhere, just like a desert.
These loess areas are uneven, with a high mound here and a large, sunken hole there.
Everyone was dumbfounded by what they saw. What was going on? The eerie feeling from before had completely disappeared after they arrived here.
Although there is no sunlight shining down here, it is extremely hot inside, and even cultivators are drenched in sweat.
After feeling the heat, Liu Xiaoyuan took off his clothes and used them as a towel to wipe away sweat.
Many male cultivators cast disdainful glances at Liu Xiaoyuan. Wasn't it too uncivilized for him to do this in front of so many female cultivators?
Liu Xiaoyuan didn't pay any attention to the cultivators' gazes. In this hot weather, his clothes would definitely be soaked if he didn't take them off.
The men were hot, but the female cultivators were even hotter. Their clothes were completely soaked with sweat, and their undergarments were clearly visible.
The female cultivators had no choice but to set up barriers one by one to cover their bodies, so as not to let the male cultivators take advantage of them.
This is really strange. Why is it so hot here? You know, even if it's 40 degrees Celsius outside, as a cultivator, walking under the sun would be perfectly fine; you wouldn't feel the heat at all.
Because as cultivators, they can shield themselves from external heat, preventing it from hitting their bodies.
But it doesn't work here. Even if you use all your strength, waves of heat still rush towards you.
Damn it, this won't do. If this continues, I'll definitely die of dehydration.
Although he was a cultivator, he still needed water; otherwise, he would become a true dried corpse.
All the monks retreated, trying to find a cool place to hide.
However, as everyone retreated, they suddenly discovered that there was no path behind them; the path they had come from had vanished, replaced by a vast expanse of white.
Upon seeing this, everyone was astonished. Disciples from many sects were in a panic, asking their sect elders what to do.
"What are you all doing? Haven't we reached the end of our rope yet?" an elder from the sect shouted.
Upon hearing the elder's reprimand, everyone immediately quieted down and dared not say anything, though the look of surprise remained on their faces.
Liu Xiaoyuan was also getting anxious. If this situation wasn't resolved, he was really going to die of dehydration.
Liu Xiaoyuan checked himself to see if he had any water with him. Right now, all Liu Xiaoyuan wanted was to drink more water, which would be like rain after a long drought.
So Liu Xiaoyuan immediately searched around and was overjoyed to find that he did indeed have water on him, and not just one bottle, but a whole case.
Liu Xiaoyuan immediately remembered that he had bought this case of water on the street last time and put it at home for future use. However, he forgot about it because of something else and had been keeping it in a storage bag ever since.
Haha... In this sweltering weather, being able to drink a sip of sweet and delicious mineral water is absolutely a treat, an incomparably joyful treat, a royal treat...
Liu Xiaoyuan immediately took out a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap, and started gulping it down.
The other cultivators reacted to the bottled water in Liu Xiaoyuan's hand like people who had been starving for days and nights were seeing a feast.
Everyone involuntarily swallowed, eager for a sip of water. Their eyes were filled with longing as they looked at Liu Xiaoyuan, hoping he would give them a drink.
Seeing everyone's gaze, Liu Xiaoyuan smiled and said, "You want to drink too? No way! I only have one case of water, not enough for you!"
