Chapter 499: The Yellow Springs Prison of Chasing Ghosts
The end of the "Snake Road" of Wangchuan is the Yellow Springs Road.
In the netherworld, the Forgotten River has formed a huge self-circulating system, which is specifically used to protect and transport souls from the mountain and sea worlds.
And outside the huge system of the Forgotten River, there is a saying about the "Nine Hells and Nine Springs" in the underworld.
The "Nine Hells and Nine Springs" are distributed in every corner of the Netherworld, and are guarded by nine powerful Netherworld Lords.
Except for Huangquan which can directly connect to the mountain and sea realm, the other eight springs are Fengquan, Yaquan, Hanquan, Yinquan, Youquan, Xiaquan, Kuquan and Mingquan.
It is said that these "Nine Hells and Nine Springs" correspond to nine kinds of suffering in the world, and each has different functions.
Because Huangquan is directly connected to the material world, it becomes the spring that divides life and death and blurs yin and yang. It also gives birth to the first checkpoint for all dead souls to enter the underworld - Ghost Gate.
And this Ghost Gate is one of the Nine Hells corresponding to Huangquan - Huangquan Ghost Chasing Prison, which means the final destination of all living things.
“…”
In fact, not long after setting foot on the Yellow Springs Road, E Kui felt the difference between this place and other places in the underworld.
Here, the souls of all evil spirits appear in a materialized state.
The ability to blur the boundaries between yin and yang and allow spirituality to possess material attributes is the most special aspect of [Yellow Springs Ghost Chasing Prison].
After the soul passes through the [Yellow Springs Prison of Ghosts], it can temporarily gain the ability to go to the world of the living.
After passing through the [Yellow Springs Ghost Prison], ghosts from the world of the living will enter the Forgotten River in the purest form of soul.
But for ghosts and gods of the level of E Kui.
The existence of [Yellow Springs Ghost Chasing Prison] is equivalent to allowing them to adapt to the rules of the Mountain and Sea Realm in advance and reshape their bodies.
With every step forward, E Kui could feel his own existence more and more clearly.
It is no longer a void soul, but a body of flesh and blood.
“…”
It didn't take long for E Kui to reach the end of this yellow spring road - the Ghost Gate.
As the name suggests, Ghost Gate is actually a huge pass built on the "Land of Three Lives".
The huge twin peaks stand opposite each other, the narrow gate is towering...
And in the center of this narrow pass, a huge and magnificent temple stands on it.
That is the temple of Luo Tianjun, and also the first checkpoint for countless souls to enter the underworld from the mountain and sea world.
Luo Tianjun's temple does not examine reincarnation or investigate cause and effect; it only distinguishes life and death, and differentiates between humans and ghosts.
Even if one is as powerful as a true god, as long as he is not a ghost or god, he will never be able to pass through Luo Tianjun's temple and truly enter the underworld.
This is also the origin of the term "Gate of Hell".
Similarly, if the ghosts and gods in the underworld want to pass through the "Gate of Ghosts" and enter the Mountain and Sea Realm, they must also obtain the approval of Luo Tianjun.
The problem now is that E Kui obviously did not get the approval of Luo Tianjun.
"The Lord of the Netherworld?"
Gazing at the old temple not far away.
E Kui knew that if he followed the normal route, he would not be able to move forward.
The majesty and restrictions from Lord Luo Tian restricted any ghost or god who wanted to forcibly go to the Mountain and Sea Realm from here.
Unlike the ease before, now with every step forward, the pressure on E'kui increases exponentially.
The body feels like it is carrying a heavy burden.
For the first time in his life, E Kui felt the shackles that flesh and blood brought to living beings.
“Is this… the feeling of a living being?”
Every breath requires fresh oxygen, only in this way can the life of this flesh and blood body be maintained.
Every movement requires the full support of bones, organs and muscles. Only in this way can the body move forward bit by bit.
Compared to the invisible bodies of ghosts and gods, the flesh and blood body has too many shortcomings and limitations.
Not to mention, E'kui is still under pressure from the Old Temple, and this feeling of being suppressed will only be more obvious than that of ordinary creatures.
However, this feeling, which was completely different from that of a spirit, made E Kui feel a sense of "being alive" that he had never felt before.
It's not the data personality in the Creator's Box...
Nor are they spirits or ghosts that exist in the form of souls...
It's a feeling of being able to actually touch material entities and interact with everything you come into contact with.
Especially the accelerated heartbeat when facing oppression, which is a feeling that only real living beings can have.
“Is this fear?”
Under the stimulation of adrenaline, the evil Kui, who had always been calm, had such obvious emotional fluctuations for the first time.
In addition to indifference, E Kui finally realized the existence of other emotions.
Although this is an emotion called "fear", it is the beginning of a cold-blooded ghost regaining his humanity.
Su! Without any hesitation, E Kui ran away quickly.
Following closely behind the evil Kui, the little ghost who had appeared quietly at some point hesitated for a moment and then started running.
Unfortunately, this little devil is not a ghost.
The moment he officially stepped into the gates of hell, the divine power from the old temple filled him with fear.
As a result, the little ghost who had just started running stumbled and fell to the ground, and couldn't get up for a long time.
"Little boy, this is not the place for you to come."
At this moment, a figure with a dragon head and a human body appeared behind the little ghost.
With a slight smile, the being with a dragon head and a human body picked up the trembling little ghost, and then turned his gaze to the evil Kui in the distance.
This being with a dragon head and a human body is none other than the blue dragon that transformed into human form - Ao Xing.
As a ferryman under Luo Tianjun and a demigod with one foot halfway into becoming a true god, Ao Xing naturally possesses the authority to enter and exit the Yin and Yang worlds at will.
Ao Xing even knew about the arrival of E Kui.
After all, it was Ao Xing who chose to bring the nameless soul into the underworld, so of course he would pay attention to his every move.
"Unfortunately, the gates of hell are not so easy to pass."
Shaking his head gently, Ao Xing muttered nonchalantly.
As souls from the world of mountains and seas, the first thing most ghosts and gods do after leaving the sea of red spider lilies is to rely on their own strength to return to the world of mountains and seas.
Although the original intention may be a little different, E Kui obviously has the same idea and plan.
However, if the gates of hell were so easy to break through, there wouldn’t be so few ghosts and gods appearing in the world of mountains and seas.
Especially now that there is one more guardian at the Ghost Gate, the difficulty for E Kui to leave the underworld has increased to a higher level.
"No, maybe the difficulty has increased by more than one level..."
Taking a leisurely step forward, Ao Xing's figure instantly disappeared on the Yellow Springs Road. In the end, only his voice continued to echo here.
"Because that guardian... is your nemesis!"
