Chapter 366 The Nine Nether World
In the dark Nine Netherworld that was like the eternal night, Chai Xin's thoughts were rising and falling, but his speed was not slow at all.

However, even at his speed, traveling through these different dimensions, he actually felt that it was endless and boundless.

He is not even in a hurry to find the location of the Yellow Springs Treasure House. Instead, he wants to take advantage of the time when Fang Han and others are practicing to explore this mysterious world of the Nine Netherworld.

He was able to reach the realm of a mysterious immortal and still remain in the lower realm without being restricted by the laws of heaven. That was because he was covered by the divine jade of creation, otherwise it would not have been possible for him to do so for long.

Moreover, if the Jade of Creation had not undergone a leap-forward repair after he returned to Zhatian, I am afraid that once he broke through to the Golden Immortal realm, he would no longer be able to stay in the lower realm.

Fortunately, the power of the Jade of Creation has been greatly enhanced. Even if he achieves the Golden Immortal, it can still conceal his breath and origin and not be detected by the Heavenly Dao.

Despite this, as Chai Xin's cultivation level becomes higher and higher and the speed of improvement becomes faster and faster, one day the repair speed of the Creation Jade will not be able to keep up with the speed of his growth, and he will still have to ascend to the fairyland.

However, there are too many powerful people in the fairy world. Chai Xin doesn't think he can be like Fang Han, who always has a heaven-defying luck and can continue to grow safely no matter who he offends.

Perhaps if he makes a little noise in the fairyland, he will be noticed by the powerful ones, and then they will follow the clues and kill him directly.

If not for this, with his level of cultivation, he would have been able to ascend long ago.

The reason why he is still staying in the lower world and continuously collecting the treasures left by the powerful is to find a solution from them - a solution to improve his realm faster so that he doesn't have to worry about the powerful; or a solution that can completely avoid ascension.

Unexpectedly, when he descended into the underground Nine Netherworld this time, Chai Xin suddenly realized that perhaps this hidden danger had a new and permanent solution.

Suddenly, in the depths of a magnificent mountain range stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles, a ghost god that was thousands of feet tall, as black as ink, with two three-pointed, double-edged swords held behind his back, was absorbing the energy of the Nine Netherworlds and practicing.

This ghost god was able to attract Chai Xin's attention, so its power must be extraordinary. It is an existence that has broken through the secret realm of immortality and stepped into the realm of immortality!
"Wow, he is actually a Xuanxian! This is almost impossible to see in the outside world. Without a powerful secret treasure or a backstage cover, he will be severely punished by the heaven and forced to enter the fairyland!"

Chai Xin sighed deeply. He had only vaguely felt the existence of some people whose cultivation was not inferior to his own before, but now he actually met them.

However, although ghosts and gods are extremely powerful, they are no longer real living beings, but rather strange beings between life and death.

Even though the ghost god in front of him possessed the strength of a Xuanxian level, which was enough to subvert the structure of the three thousand worlds outside, he was restricted by the origin of the Xuanhuang world and could only exist in the billions of different dimensions of the Jiuyou land, but could not leave the Jiuyou land.

Unless someone casts the Great Summoning Spell and pays an extremely high price, sacrificing blood, lifespan, etc. to the Gate of Immortality in the dark, and influences the original power of the Xuanhuang World, they can leave the Jiuyou World temporarily and fight outside.

However, even if it was the ghosts and gods in the virtual fairyland, the price of summoning them would almost cost a figure like Taihuangtian his life, let alone such a mysterious immortal?
Generally speaking, the Great Summoning Technique can only summon beings with lower cultivation levels than oneself. If one wishes to summon a stronger being, one often has to pay with one's own soul, a price few are willing to bear.

Even if it was Chai Xin, if he wanted to use the Great Summoning Technique to summon such an immortal, he would have to consume nearly half of his own lifespan, and it would not last for too long!
Therefore, for these ghosts and gods, powerful cultivation has become a kind of confinement to some extent, making it more difficult for them to see the sunlight and living beings in the outside world.

"After I convert this ghost, maybe I can learn some of the mysteries of the underground world. Even if I can't, it's a good thing to have such a powerful fighting force."

Chai Xin's mind turned quickly, and his figure had already arrived in front of the ghost. When he raised his hand, a pitch-black halberd appeared, which was the God-killing Halberd!
After reaching the Xuanxian realm, he could already discern the true level of this weapon in the Eternal Life Realm—a mid-grade immortal weapon.

Don’t underestimate the difference between mid-grade and low-grade immortal weapons, as they seem to be only one level apart.

But in fact, just like the gap between Golden Immortal and Mysterious Immortal, the two cannot be compared at all.

Except for monsters like Chai Xin and Fang Han, who have various special means to help them, even if a hundred Xuanxians join forces, they cannot defeat a Jinxian!
In other words, even if one hundred low-grade immortal artifacts were arranged into a formation, they could not compare to a mid-grade immortal artifact.

Although Chai Xin is only at the Xuanxian realm now, his strength is enough to compete with the Jinxian. Although it is a little difficult for him to activate the middle-grade immortal weapon, he can already activate its full power!

This alone is enough for him to crush any Xuanxian and have the combat power to fight against a Jinxian.

With the blessing of the Jade of Fortune, he can be guaranteed not to be defeated by any Golden Immortal.

As he spoke, the God-killing Spear in Chai Xin's hand burst out with infinite divine brilliance, like rays of Buddha's light blooming, sweeping towards the seemingly sleeping ghost.

This is to apply the Great Salvation Technique to the halberd's hair, to stimulate an even more powerful force, to save the immortal-level ghost in front of him.

Only with a cultivation level like Chai Xin, whose practice of the Great Salvation Technique has almost reached the pinnacle, could he be so relaxed and carefree when saving powerful enemies, like flowing clouds and running water, full of indescribable beauty, and in harmony with the rhythm of the great way of heaven and earth.

The circles of Buddha's light rippled out like the tide, and finally condensed into the image of the World-Honored King of Freedom Buddha, which was lifelike, as if the real Buddha had descended to the world, with golden lotuses blooming from his mouth and rushing towards the heads of ghosts and gods.

Chai Xin once sat in meditation in front of Fang Han's "Worldly Free King Buddha Talisman" for eight thousand years and realized all kinds of Buddhist principles. Only then did he practice the Great Salvation Technique and a series of three thousand great ways related to Buddhism to his current level.

The Buddha's light spread over a hundred thousand miles, scattering endless golden lotuses, illuminating the dark world of the Nine Netherworld as bright as day. Countless spirits and monsters bowed down to it, with pious expressions on their faces, chanting the name of Taoist Xuanhuang.

"Buzz!"

Finally, the huge ghost god sleeping in the mountains suddenly woke up, obviously feeling a great threat.

"After so many years, there are still people who dare to attack me. Interesting!"

The ghosts and gods roared towards the sky, and endless ghost energy from the underworld surged out from their bodies, like a vast ocean, cleansing the world.

"However, I believe you are also prepared to pay the price for this reckless act!"

The huge body, which was thousands of feet tall, did not move clumsily at all. It moved tens of thousands of miles in an instant and appeared directly in front of Chai Xin. The three-pointed, double-edged sword in its hand emitted a cold bloody light and chopped towards the golden Buddha's head without hesitation.

"Ghosts and gods, why are you so obsessed? Your soul is bound by the origin of the world. No matter how powerful you are, you will always be trapped here. I will use the great Zen light of universal salvation and supreme magic power to break the bondage of the source power of this place. Then you can see the light of day again and be free and happy. Why not?"

Facing the powerful murderous intention of ghosts and gods, Chai Xin's expression was calm. He slowly opened his mouth and spit out words one by one, which contained the great salvation technique, the great liberation technique, the great seduction technique, the great debate technique, etc. There were many three thousand great ways in it, full of mysterious truths, which made people feel convinced unconsciously.

The most important thing is that it contains traces of the power of creation!

Even the ghosts and gods at the Xuanxian realm had no power to resist when Chai Xin exerted all his strength.

In the final analysis, Chai Xin could easily crush those at the same level without any pressure, so it would not be difficult to convert them. In an instant, the fierce and overbearing eyes of the ghost softened, and he became at a loss, gradually struggling and entangled, and his whole body was covered by the golden lotus transformed by the Buddha's light, and his originally black body gradually began to show a hint of dark gold.

Soon, this dark gold color began to spread all over his body. Not long after, his entire body, which was several thousand feet long, turned into a faint dark gold color.

"Thank you, my lord, for your guidance and for helping me escape from the sea of ​​suffering. I am willing to serve you for the rest of my life and obey your orders!"

The ghost's body suddenly shrank to a size of two meters. The three-pointed, double-edged sword was put away. He fell to the ground with his hands clasped together, and his words were full of piety and gratitude.

"good."

Chai Xin nodded slightly, and the God-killing Spear dissipated. He shot out a ray of light with his bare hands and took it into the world within his body.

This is only the initial stage of conversion. After all, he is an immortal. It will take a hundred years for him to be washed by the power of thoughts of hundreds of billions of sentient beings before he can be completely converted.

At that time, unless Chai Xin allowed him to "return to secular life", there would be no way back.

After communicating with ghosts and gods through telepathy, Chai Xin gained some understanding of them.

This ghost god calls himself "Ku Ye Demon Lord" and was born in the Nine Netherworld tens of millions of years ago. At that time, he had already reached the pinnacle of immortality. About three million years ago, the energy he absorbed from the Nine Netherworld reached a critical point, and he finally achieved the realm of Xuanxian.

The memories of his previous life were originally nothing, but after entering the realm of Xuanxian, he vaguely recalled some of them, but they were only fragments and could not be connected together.

It seemed that he was once a giant in the world of cultivation, but he fell for unknown reasons and eventually reincarnated in the Nine Netherworld.

The Nine Netherworld is very vast, even not inferior to the three thousand great worlds outside.

Even with Ku Ye's strength, it is difficult to fully explore the entire Nine Netherworld. The places he has been to in his lifetime are only six or seven out of ten.

According to him, even in the Nine Netherworld, various ghosts and gods are not able to move completely freely.

Generally speaking, the infinite space underground can be divided into eighteen layers.

Ghosts and gods below the Secret Realm of Longevity can only move around in the level of space where they are born and cannot cross to other levels.

After entering the secret realm of immortality, one can move freely in the two layers near the layer of space where one is born; after cultivating one's own world, one can come and go freely in the three layers nearby...

A Xuanxian-level being like Ku Ye can only leave the seventh layer of the initial descending space at most.

It must be pointed out that there is not only one alien space on each floor, but at least hundreds of them. The more you go down, the more alien spaces there are on each floor, and it seems endless.

Chai Xin is currently on the third floor, and the floor where Ku Ye was born is the fifth floor.

In other words, even with Ku Ye's cultivation level, he can only explore to the twelfth level of the Nine Netherworld and can no longer go down.

"There is a kind of perception that every ghost born underground has. Once it exceeds the level limit that it can bear, it will die immediately! In fact, there are many such examples over the years."

These are Ku Ye’s original words.

In the underground world, there are also a very small number of guys who do not believe in evil and will forcibly go against the resistance deep in their souls and step into a level that they are not capable of touching. They will indeed disappear into thin air in an instant.

There are even some powerful people who have captured weak ghosts and gods and conducted countless experiments in order to study the root cause of this phenomenon and find a solution!

Without exception, all the ghosts and gods who were forcibly taken away from their proper levels died.

In fact, over the long years, Ku Ye himself had done many similar things - the world of cultivators was cruel, and this world of the Nine Netherworld was even worse.

As for why this place could accommodate the existence of the immortal realm without being noticed by the heavenly way, Ku Ye knew nothing about it.

Speaking of which, if there weren't some demon cultivators descending on the Nine Netherworld from time to time, many ghosts and gods would not know that this is the underground of the Xuanhuang World.

Demon cultivators are different from ghosts and gods. They are still real lives and are not restricted by the rules of the underground world. They can travel freely through the Nine Netherworlds.

But despite this, it is said that none of the demon cultivators who dared to sneak below the fifteenth floor have ever returned.

It seemed that this was the legendary Naihe Bridge. If a living person accidentally walked into it, his soul would be torn apart in an instant, which was more miserable than death.

Of course, this is just Kuye’s speculation, and the real situation is unknown.

According to him, although everyone says that the Nine Netherworld has eighteen layers, it is just a conventional understanding. No one can determine what the scene is like below the fifteenth layer.

This was because even a powerful being born on the fourteenth floor could not enter the fifteenth floor.

Similarly, no creature from the fifteenth floor has ever emerged, and everything is just a mysterious legend.

Chai Xin seemed to have learned a lot from Ku Ye, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that his doubts not only did not decrease, but increased!

"I know about Huangquan Demon Sect. It is located deep in the ninth layer of the Nine Netherworld. I met Huangquan Emperor a few times before. He is indeed a remarkable man. He once invited me to join Huangquan Demon Sect, but I felt that he was too ambitious and must have some ulterior motives, so I politely declined."

In Ku Ye's memories, he also mentioned some things about the Huangquan Emperor and the Huangquan Demon Sect, and his words seemed to indicate that he was keeping a distance from the Demon Sect Emperor.

"The first time I saw him, I felt that he was no ordinary person. Later, he really caused a huge commotion. Even though I was six levels away from him on the day of his ascension, I was still terrified. I can still remember it clearly..."
