The King of Fengdu and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva never expected that Taiyi Rescuer of Sufferings had actually helped Yu Kai, and they couldn't help but feel secretly relieved.
"Since Houtu intends to take care of him, why do you still want to stop him?" Emperor Shi turned his gaze to Emperor Fengdu and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, scaring them so much that cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
"Lord Emperor Shi, behind us is the lifeline of the underworld. Yu Kai wants to enter. How dare we let him in! Moreover, this place is extremely mysterious. Spiritual thoughts cannot detect the situation inside at all. Even the Mother Earth cannot enter. If you force your way in, you will be bounced back! We only tried to stop him because we were worried that something might happen to him." Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun hurriedly defended Emperor Fengdu and the others.
"Yes! Lord Emperor Shi, you really misunderstood us!" Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva hurriedly agreed, his face full of anxiety and fear.
The King of Fengdu also had a forced smile on his face, with a hint of flattery in that smile.
The Devouring Emperor slowly sheathed his greatsword, and the imposing formation above him dissipated. His expression softened slightly. He casually brushed a few people aside, his gaze fixed on this mysterious space, a look of inquiry and persistence in his eyes.
He rushed inside again, and as expected, he was bounced back.
"Yu Kai! Yu Kai! Yu Kai, how are you? Are you okay?" The Devouring Emperor shouted loudly inside, his voice full of anxiety and worry.
However, no matter how he called out, he received no response, which only intensified his worry. This place was truly too mysterious. He racked his brains and tried various methods, but still could not enter.
"Lord Emperor Shi, don't worry! According to my mount, Yu Kai had entered this place before, and came out unharmed!" Taiyi Rescuer of Sufferings hurried forward to comfort him.
"Really?" Emperor Shi frowned, his eyes full of suspicion.
"It's absolutely true, how dare I lie to you! Yu Kai came to me in the beginning and told me that he had to come here for a reason. I couldn't make the decision at that time, so I sent a message to the Queen!" Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun spoke seriously.
"Then why hasn't Hou Tu come back yet? Yu Kai is her disciple after all, so nothing must happen to him!" Emperor Shi sighed, his tone full of worry.
"What, Lord Shidi, are you saying that Yu Kai is the Empress's disciple?" The Emperor of Fengdu was full of confusion, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"That's right, Yu Kai has inherited the legacy of the eleven ancient witches, so Queen Hou Tu is naturally his master!" Emperor Shi said with a serious expression.
"So that's how it is. No wonder the Queen asked me to take care of him." Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun suddenly realized and nodded slightly, as if he understood the reason.
"This..." The Emperor of Fengdu suddenly felt a little uneasy and prayed secretly that nothing would happen to Yu Kai, otherwise, the Queen Mother Hou Tu would not let him off easily!
The Devouring Emperor waited for days, but the mysterious area showed no signs of change. In desperation, he began searching the entire prehistoric world for Yu Kai's whereabouts. However, after a full month of searching, he still found nothing.
As the Queen Mother of Earth was on duty at the Thirty-Three Heavens, she could not return for the time being. The Devouring Emperor had no choice but to fly towards the underworld.
He plunged into the Yellow Springs and sank rapidly to the bottom. The Yellow Springs was extremely corrosive, and inflicted immense damage to the soul. However, the Devouring Emperor intended to cultivate his divine soul body there, hoping to quickly fuse it with the divine beast's physique and achieve a breakthrough to the mid-stage Saint Emperor realm.
At the same time, the entire underworld was being rebuilt in full swing, and there was a busy scene everywhere.
Yu Kai slowly awoke within the mechanical heart of the Netherworld Root Vein. The heavy blow dealt by the Emperor of Fengdu had left him severely injured. Fortunately, with the help of the extremely rich Netherworld Energy, he finally recovered from his injuries after a full six months.
During his coma, he once again saw his eleven masters. These eleven masters were also filled with joy to see him again. They were still in the form of light beads containing the power of various laws, just as they had been back then.
This time, however, their spirits were much better, not as exhausted as when he left. Beyond their delight, they were also amazed at Yu Kai's cultivation speed. When they learned that Yu Kai had brought their physical bodies with him, they all revealed expressions of ecstasy.
"I never thought that we still have a chance to be resurrected!" An ancient witch was so excited that his voice trembled.
"Yes, this is incredible!" Another ancestor witch also echoed, his tone full of surprise.
Yu Kai did not hesitate at all and immediately released their respective flesh bodies. The ancestor witches could not wait to rush towards the flesh bodies, but because the ancestor witches did not cultivate their souls, the soul light beads they rushed into the flesh bodies were instantly repelled.
"What should we do?" Di Jiang's voice rang out in the space, and the entire space shook slightly, as if it was also confused by this sudden situation.
Yu Kai also did not expect this situation to happen and could not help but fall into deep thought.
"Our Ancestral Witch's physical body treats us as outsiders. After all, our physical bodies do not cultivate souls. We must first establish resonance with them, gain their recognition, and integrate into them little by little. Otherwise, even if we integrate into them, we will not be able to control this Ancestral Witch's physical body!" Zhu Jiuyin analyzed, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.
"Won't that take a long time?" Zhu Rong was obviously unable to contain himself and started yelling.
"We've endured such a long time, what does this little time mean to us?" Di Jiang said in a firm tone, making Zhu Rong shut up obediently.
"Then I'll give it a try and see if this method works!" Gonggong volunteered. He manipulated the laws of water to resonate with the Ancestral Witch's body, slowly approaching. This time, the repulsion wasn't as strong as before, but the moment he entered, he was still repelled.
"Although it was not successful, this also gave the ancient witches hope." Yu Kai thought to himself.
Then, he suddenly had a new idea and said, "Masters, I will go out to recuperate first! I will come back when I am healed. I may be able to freeze your Ancestral Witch bodies and help you merge quickly!"
"Do you really have a way?" Zhu Jiuyin asked hurriedly, his eyes full of expectation.
Yu Kai nodded firmly, his eyes full of confidence: "It should be fine!"
Seeing Yu Kai so confident, all the witches were delighted.
"Yu Kai! Then you go out and heal your wounds first! Let's think of other ways and give it a try!" Di Jiang said.
"Masters, rest assured, I will be back soon! You will definitely be able to get out soon!" After Yu Kai said this, he slowly exited this space.
It took him a full six months to restore his body to peak condition. During this time, he also learned that the Devouring Emperor had been there. Although he could sense everything happening outside, he could not transmit any information unless he broke through this space. Moreover, this space seemed to be extremely special. Only the power of the false god could easily break it open. Other laws of power were ineffective against it.
