Chapter 492: The Spiritual Journey to the Underworld
The familiar special breath that Wu Yan felt at first was actually the unique breath of the remnant soul of Xuan Xin Patriarch. However, the spiritual light in the remnant soul had already entered the underworld. Because its soul breath was a new soul that had just returned to the void, it was lingering at the exit of the earth abyss, which was noticed by Wu Yan.
It seems that Xuan Xin Patriarch has completely returned to the void. Wu Yan didn't know why, when he absorbed his soul breath, he felt a sense of inexplicable melancholy.
The Great Dao is ruthless. If he can't cultivate the Great Dao of Yuanshen, transcend the mundane world, and ascend to the upper realm, perhaps one day he will be like Xuan Xin Patriarch, with his body collapsed, his Yuanshen returning to the void, and his spiritual light being sucked into the reincarnation, leaving only some soul breath remaining in the world.
After a day of meditation, after absorbing a large amount of Yuanshen breath, Wu Yan's damaged divine power was not only fully restored, but also strengthened a lot.
On the second day, Wu Yan sorted out his mood and began to practice the Five Elements Sword Art to restore the consumed mana.
After realizing that the place below was most likely a special critical point of yin and yang, Wu Yan wanted to take a peek at the truth. After all, anyone who knew that the mysterious things of the Yang world and the Yin and the Netherworld really existed would be curious to take a peek, and Wu Yan was no exception.
Anyway, he had now cultivated into a Yuanling body, so it seemed that there was nothing wrong with letting Yuanling go down to take a peek. Besides, his Yuanling had already cultivated into a spiritual body, and he had also comprehended the Netherworld. If the place below was really connected to the Netherworld, then his spiritual body would go down and, relying on the induction of the Netherworld, it should not be difficult to find the entrance and exit of the Netherworld.
Immediately, Wu Yan's body sat cross-legged on the Taiji Rock, constantly absorbing the surrounding heaven and earth energy, refining it into mana, swallowing it into the Dantian to store and restore the consumed mana. His spiritual body quietly escaped into the Taiji Rock, and went down along the Taiji Rock all the way, chasing the faint Yin and Netherworld breath, and gradually went down to the most dense place of the Earth Yuan Soul Breath.
Wu Yan's Yuanling, like a ghost, roamed lightly underground, absorbing the soul breath wantonly in the most dense place of the earth's Yuan soul breath. The soul breaths around seemed to have found an outlet for venting, and madly gathered towards Wu Yan's Yuanling.
This situation was both within Wu Yan's expectations and beyond his expectations.
Just now, through the vein-suppressing divine stone, Wu Yan's divine thoughts relied on the induction and traction of the netherworld realm to absorb the earth's Yuan soul breath from below. The amount was actually very limited, and the speed of absorption was not very fast, so his spirit body did not get much replenishment of the earth's Yuan soul breath at that time.
Who knew that after going down to this underground and escaping from the vein-suppressing divine stone, the spirit body entered the Yin-Yang earth veins, just like a fish entering the sea, with an indescribable feeling of pleasure and comfort. After touching the earth's Yuan soul breath, his spirit body was like a sponge absorbing water, almost uncontrollably madly devouring the earth's Yuan soul breath here, and madly growing.
How could Wu Yan let go of such a good thing? He was not in a hurry to find the entrance to the underworld, but let his spirit body madly absorb the extremely pure earth soul breath here.
After an unknown amount of time, he felt that his spirit body had condensed like a physical little man emitting infinite blue light, and could no longer swallow a trace of earth soul breath, so he finally stopped swallowing.
After carefully checking the state of his spirit body, Wu Yan was surprised and happy!
After swallowing a large amount of earth soul breath this time, his spirit body has actually reached the state of great perfection of the late stage of the spirit body, and can no longer go further. At this moment, he needs to use the special condensation method of the underworld god art to enter the underworld, accept the baptism of the five yin wind and thunder tribulations, absorb a yin and underworld gas, and condense his spirit body into a yin god, so that he can continue to swallow this earth soul breath, strengthen the body of the yin god, and consolidate and improve the realm of the yin god.
The abundance of the earth soul breath here is far beyond Wu Yan's imagination. If he could achieve the Yin God, he believed that if he completely absorbed all the earthly soul breath here, he could even directly reach the state of wandering.
How could Wu Yan miss such a unique opportunity?
Immediately, he no longer hesitated, controlled his spirit body, turned into a dark blue light, and quickly rushed to the center point where the earthly soul breath was the densest. With the induction of the netherworld, he quickly found the location of the Yuan point.
As expected, just as recorded in the ancient secret book, the Yuan point, facing the vein-suppressing divine stone above, was a special passage exit with a radius of about ten feet. The Yang spiritual energy at one end was dense and was gathering upwards. Obviously, the upper part of the earth vein was because someone was meditating and absorbing the earth vein spiritual energy. The Yin and Ming breath at the other end was also dense and deep. This passage exit happened to be at the intersection of the Yin and Yang earth veins.
Gusts of cold wind blew out from the dark and void exit, making Wu Yan's spirit feel cool and refreshed for no reason.
Wherever the cold wind passed, the earth's soul breath was blown away, and it was impossible to get close to the passage. With this exit as the origin, countless blue light balls were rushing towards the exit from all directions.
These blue light balls were big and small. The big ones were as big as a fist, and the small ones were even the size of a fingernail. But no matter whether it was a big blue light ball or a small blue light ball, when they saw Wu Yan's spirit, they all trembled with fear and shock.
So when these light balls appeared at the entrance of the cave, they chose to pounce into the dark and void cave without hesitation.
Wu Yan's spirit found that under the gusts of cold wind, the light balls emitting faint blue light were drawn away by the cold wind. Only a little white light the size of a rice grain could not be blocked by the cold wind and rushed into the dark cave like nothingness. The rest of the faint blue light turned into pure earth-element soul breath, which was blown out of the cave by the cold wind and scattered around.
Wu Yan was curious and couldn't help but reach out and grab a fist-sized faint blue light ball. A scream came from the light ball.
After Wu Yan's spirit grabbed the light ball, he stretched out his finger and probed into it. After a moment, a strange expression appeared on his face. He raised his hand and threw the light ball into the cave again.
Under the blowing of the cold wind, the faint blue light of the light ball was drawn away, leaving a group of light spots the size of a rice grain, which fell directly into the dark cave like nothingness and disappeared. The light ball he just grabbed was actually a casual cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage of Liehai City. Inside the light ball, there is the memory of the casual cultivator.
After a moment of silence, Wu Yan's spirit body grabbed a larger light ball again, and stretched out his finger to probe into it to check. After a few moments, after successively exploring more than a dozen light balls of different sizes, Wu Yan's spirit finally revealed a trace of solemnity.
This virtual cave seems to be the entrance to the underworld. Because he found that these different sizes of dark blue light balls that came from all directions were actually souls from different regions of the entire Xumi Sea.
Moreover, these souls are not only human, but also souls of all races. If there is no reincarnation channel below, how could such a situation occur?
Wu Yan found that the empty hole where the gloomy wind blew out was dark and empty inside, and it was impossible to see what was going on inside and below.
Since he found the entrance and exit of the channel at the critical point of yin and yang, Wu Yan's spirit body would naturally not miss this great opportunity to spy on the secrets of heaven.
His spirit immediately broke free from the shackles of the Yin Vein without hesitation, rushed to the empty cave below, and disappeared in an instant.
The passage was not long. Under the perception of Wu Yan's spirit, it seemed that less than a moment had passed, and his spirit entered a new world.
In that world, it was dark and gloomy, and he could not tell the direction or the time. His spirit immediately began to fly around without hesitation, familiar with this world.
Gradually, Wu Yan's spirit adapted to this place, and he felt that he was in a dark blue world.
His spirit was now in the empty sky of this dark world, floating and misty, like a helpless ghost in the underworld. Below, there were endless black mountains and rivers, trees and creatures emitting dark blue light.
In this world, the land is pure black, the rivers are dark blue, and the trees and vegetation are all dark blue, emitting dark blue light. Not only that, all the creatures here seemed to be blue, emitting a faint blue light, which was very strange. Wu Yan, who entered the Yin and Ming world for the first time, was really eye-opening.
However, Wu Yan's spirit suddenly seemed to understand something, and this understanding was the kind of feeling that he knew without thinking. He could feel that the dark blue creatures here were different from the dark blue light group when he entered the Yin and Ming entrance.
After Wu Yan's spirit floated in this world for a while, he immediately expanded his consciousness, covering a larger range, and began to sense and explore more carefully.
After a while, Wu Yan's spirit frowned slightly, revealing a strange look. Everything here seems to be similar to the legendary Yin and Ming world, but it is much smaller than the legendary Yin and Ming world. The two are even incomparable, not to mention comparable.
According to legend, the Yin and Ming world is a world of its own, and is mysteriously called the Netherworld by the world. According to legend, its size should be similar to that of the world of the living.
But here, the length and breadth of the world is only a few thousand miles. In addition, there are walls filled with extremely special forbidden power on all sides, blocking all connections between this world and the outside world.
Wu Yan's spirit body paused and looked for a moment, then flew to a special place in this underworld world of thousands of miles without hesitation. That place is where the rice-sized white light spots that rushed in from the countless entrances and passages in the sky gathered.
It was also after exploring in this world for a while that Wu Yan discovered that the entrances and passages of the underworld were not only the one he had just come from, but countless. However, it seemed that the entrance of the passage he had just come from should be the main entrance of this world. Because the spiritual light pouring into this world from there was like a tide. The entrances of other places were only a few dots, and even some entrances did not have any spiritual light pouring in.
After swimming for a few moments, his spirit body appeared in this world, the only place emitting soft white light.
The rest of this world was either black or dark blue, but this place alone emitted a soft white light. The soft white light seemed to have a fatal attraction to all spiritual souls.
Those white rice-like light spots were rushing towards the white light from all directions like moths to a flame. The scene looked extremely spectacular!
