After Qin Nan replied to the message, Bai Hao was already waiting beside him. Seeing that he had put away his phone, Bai Hao picked him up around the waist and used the technique of shrinking the distance to move quickly.
News has come from the Xuanwu Clan that there are unusual movements in the Netherworld. I must go there immediately upon returning to the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Qin Nan buried his head in Bai Hao's neck, the wind whistling in his ears. He didn't know how long it had been before Bai Hao stopped. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a mountain cliff.
Bai Hao put the person down. Qin Nan looked around the mountains and forests but couldn't see anything unusual. He was a little vague about being brought to the human world by his parents, so he didn't have much of an impression of the border area.
Bai Hao: "Ordinary people can't see or touch it. You probably can't see it now, but you can touch it."
Qin Nan looked puzzled. Bai Hao took his hand and placed it in the air in front of him, but the next moment, he felt his hand touch a barrier. There was no physical sensation, but rather a resistance.
Seeing his surprise, Bai Hao let go of his hand and watched him curiously touch the invisible barrier.
Qin Nan closed his eyes and tried to use the power of the jade pendant. When he opened his eyes again, he could vaguely see the boundary in front of him through his dark pupils.
He took a few steps back in surprise, looking up at the gap that seemed to be pieced together, stretching from the ground to the sky. The huge barrier was like a piece of paper inserted into a cardboard box, dividing the space into two.
While he was still in a daze, Bai Hao had already opened a barrier large enough for them to reach the Mountain and Sea Realm. Qin Nan was somewhat nervous as Bai Hao led him inside.
A blinding light struck Qin Nan, who closed his eyes. The buzzing in his ears made him unable to hear anything, but after a moment, he suddenly felt a breath of fresh air rushing towards him.
He choked twice, opened his eyes, and froze when he saw the scene before him.
Two giant dragons were locked in combat in the sky not far away, the cries of unknown beasts echoed from the mountains, and many birds and animals flitted through the forest, their calls never ceasing.
Towering trees stand tall, sunlight filtering through the branches and leaves in dappled patterns; in some places, the leaves are so thick that the sunlight can't reach them at all.
Qin Nan then recalled the time when he was a cub and lived with Bai Hao in the forest. In fact, he was born a little earlier than Bai Hao, since he came out from under the earth, while Bai Hao was born from the spiritual essence of heaven and earth.
However, this does not prevent him from being raised by Bai Hao.
While Qin Nan was stunned, Bai Hao's body swelled up and returned to its original shape. In order to make it easier for Qin Nan to climb onto his back, he first controlled his size to be as big as a horse. After Qin Nan climbed onto his back and sat down, he did so.
Bai Hao lightly rose into the air and leaped through the air. As he rose higher and higher off the ground, and after surpassing the giant trees in the forest, Bai Hao's figure suddenly grew larger. Qin Nan was buried in Bai Hao's fur and could hardly be seen.
Qin Nan lay comfortably in Bai Hao's soft, white fur, wanting to roll around. It had been a long time since he had been to the Mountain and Sea Realm, and the initial tension had eased.
When he became the fulcrum for suppressing the Netherworld, he was erased from everyone's memory, including Bai Ze's.
So now, no one remembers him, and he doesn't even know if the beasts he once knew are still alive.
He was also puzzled that the mythical beasts such as Bai Ze, Taotie, Qilin, Xuanwu, and Pixiu, which should have been a single entity, had actually developed into a group.
Qin Nan: [Bai Hao...]
Qin Nan instinctively wanted to ask Bai Hao, but paused, realizing that Bai Hao probably didn't know yet.
Bai Hao: [What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?]
Qin Nan: [No, where are we going?]
Bai Hao: [Let's go to the Xuanwu Clan first; there seems to be some unusual activity in the Netherworld.]
Qin Nan paused, thought for a moment, and remembered the thing that forced him to give up his body and had to remove his heart to save his life. He roughly knew what it was.
Qin Nan: [It's alright, it won't be that fast. The price it paid was heavy enough; even if it breaks through the barrier, it's fine.]
Bai Hao: [You know that?]
Qin Nan: [Yes, I can handle that problem, but not now.]
Bai Hao remained silent and did not ask any further questions, because Qin Nan had no intention of continuing.
The boundary between the Mountain and Sea Realm and the Human Realm is located in the Eastern Wilderness. Bai Hao led Qin Nan northward from the Eastern Wilderness, and the landscapes and people along the way were very different from what Qin Nan remembered.
Because it was inconvenient to take things from the human world, Bai Hao could only give Qin Nan some Zhu Yu grass to fill his stomach.
Looking at the long-lost Zhuyu grass, Qin Nan felt a pang of nostalgia. When he was a cub, there was nothing else to eat, so he would eat this grass to fill his stomach.
After traveling for several days, they finally caught a glimpse of the desolate North Marshland in the distance, where a huge and terrifying crack was even more conspicuous in the high sky.
Qin Nan lowered his eyes and looked down, his body trembling slightly uncontrollably. The underworld was still a place he didn't want to face.
But as Bai Hao descended, Qin Nan also saw clearly that there was actually an array on the barrier of the Netherworld, an array with many Xuanwu true bodies as array eyes.
No... isn't he the only one guarding this place?
Qin Nan was somewhat taken aback.
He was always alone in the Netherworld, forgotten. Unless something unusual happened, no one would even remember that the Netherworld existed.
Bai Hao had said that Xuanwu guarded the Netherworld, and he thought it was just monitoring from the sidelines. He never expected that it was just like him.
Bai Hao's arrival also alerted Xuanwu.
Xuanjing: [Bai Hao, you've finally arrived.]
Bai Hao: [Sorry, I'm a little late.]
Xuanjing: [Fortunately, nothing serious happened. It's just that a couple of days ago, the ghosts in the underworld were restless, which is very likely due to some change in the Underworld River.]
Bai Hao: [I found someone who can resolve this matter, but he said it's not possible right now. I'll take him to see him.]
Xuanjing: [Oh? He knows things that the Bai Ze clan doesn't?]
Bai Hao: [Yes, that's true.]
After Bai Hao landed and transformed into human form, he carried Qin Nan and landed smoothly, then put him down.
As soon as Qin Nan landed, she saw a tall and robust middle-aged man waiting for them.
