Volume 6: Wangchuan Chapter 41: The Voice from the Underworld
"The Lord of the Yellow Springs?" Lu Qingshan repeated this name that sounded very unusual.
"As the one who controls the cycle of life and death, the will of the Lord of the Underworld will have a yardstick. Young master has not yet reached the time of reincarnation, he just entered the Underworld by mistake. So even if the Lord of the Underworld is unwilling to help you, he will not make things difficult for you at that time." Qin Yitian explained.
"Where should we find it?" Lu Qingshan frowned slightly and asked again.
"When a person dies, his soul returns to Mount Dai. The Wangchuan River originates from Mount Dai, and the Lord of the Yellow Springs Prison lives on Mount Dai. In the entire Yellow Springs world, apart from the vast Wangchuan River, there is only Mount Dai. Young master, just go upstream, and when you reach the source, Mount Dai will appear." Qin Yitian said.
Lu Qingshan looked down at the vast river.
The water of the River of Oblivion surges and flows day after day, year after year, without stopping.
Lu Qingshan's gaze drifted away in the direction from which the water of the Forgotten River came.
The water and the sky are one color.
There is no end in sight.
I don’t know how far away the legendary Mount Dai is.
"Yitian." Lu Qingshan shouted.
"Hmm?" Qin Yitian uttered a light exclamation.
"How do you know so much?" Lu Qingshan asked curiously.
The world of Hades is another world different from the human world.
In his previous life, he had already reached the fusion realm and even had a forum, a huge information database, but he was still unheard of the Underworld.
Qin Yitian, however, is able to understand the world of the underworld so well.
"These things seem to be engraved in my memory and difficult to erase, but I just know it, and I don't quite understand why I know it. The specific reason should be that it is part of my sealed memory." Qin Yitian did not hide anything from Lu Qingshan.
"But I know that as your cultivation level improves, one day these memories will be unlocked, and then all your curiosity will be answered."
"So, young master, you have to improve your cultivation as quickly as possible," Qin Yitian said softly, "Although it's already very fast now."
"I will." Lu Qingshan nodded in assurance.
Lu Qingshan felt
"We have to hurry."
There are only ten days left. First, we have to find the Lord of the Yellow Springs Prison and then find a suitable Yellow Springs boundary wall. The schedule is undoubtedly very tight.
Lu Qingshan leaped forward and used his sword to break through the dim sea of clouds.
Like a dragon, it flew away quickly towards the source of the Forgotten River.
…
Another sea of clouds.
A mysterious scroll was suspended, with Yuan Yaozi sitting cross-legged on it.
The thick death energy from the underworld was rushing into his body madly.
Unlike Lu Qingshan who was forced to accept the Yellow Springs death energy, Yuan Yaozi actively absorbed and devoured the Yellow Springs death energy.
Because the technique he practiced came from the Underworld, with the Underworld's death energy as the source of everything.
When he came to this place, he felt like a fish coming into water, without any discomfort at all.
As he continued to absorb the Yellow Springs death energy, the sharp sword intent that had been lingering in his body was finally gradually resolved by him.
Feeling that his injuries were getting better, Yuan Yaozi showed a sinister smile.
The underworld is water, he is a fish, then Lu Qingshan and Ji Chuan are tigers. No matter how ferocious they are, they will not survive long in the water and will be drowned sooner or later.
"You forced me to do this." Yuan Yaozi murmured.
Although he is cruel, he is not to the point of cheating his father at will.
If he hadn't been helpless, he really didn't want to use such a deadly move and drag the disciples of the Sword Sect into the water, thus offending the Sword Sect.
But since his life was in danger, he couldn't care less.
…
The sea of red spider lilies, also known as the road of fire.
After being swept into the mighty river of the Crossing the World Technique, the first thing Ji Chuan did was to tightly hug Qiu Shiyin who was swept to his side.
Even though it was just a corpse.
But in his heart, that sword of his, not only killed Qiu Shiyin, but also cut off Qiu Shiyin's evil karma and her identity as an extradition envoy.
From then on, Qiu Shiyin was just the little female thief she was when we first met.
He wanted to protect Qiu Shiyin's body.
Then, it was an endless fall.
Until you enter the underworld.
A repulsive force emerged out of nowhere, like the buoyancy in water, preventing him from falling further.
However, this repulsive force did not act on Qiu Shiyin's body.
Ji Chuan hugged Qiu Shiyin tightly, just like he was holding a stone and sinking into the river. The gravity of the stone offset the repulsive force that came out of nowhere, and continued to fall with Ji Chuan.
Fortunately, the landing point was not the vast river, but the sea of flowers on the shore.
After falling into the sea of red spider lilies, the blooming blood-red red spider lilies seemed to come alive, shining brightly and emitting red glow, completely enveloping .
The red spider lily, also known as the soul-guiding flower, can guide the souls of the living.
Among the bright red flowers of the other shore, there is one that is slowly losing its scarlet color and transforming into holy white.
That is the Lycoris radiata that guides Qiu Shiyin’s soul.
Anyone who sees this flower should remove it.
…
On the other side, Lu Qingshan had been working hard all day.
Along the way, the scenery I saw all around was exactly the same, and the world was completely silent.
This is actually a very torturous thing.
"Why is Huangquan so quiet?" Lu Qingshan was puzzled. "As a place of reincarnation, it should be very lively, right?"
"It's very lively," Qin Yitian said, "In the river, there are countless souls screaming and stretching out their hands to you, wanting you to go down and accompany them."
"Why can't I see or hear anything?" Lu Qingshan looked down and saw that it was indeed just a flowing river. There was nothing else. It was hard to imagine that the river was actually full of living souls.
"Because they are dead, and you are a living person," Qin Yitian said as a matter of course, "Living people cannot see dead people normally, otherwise there would be no such thing as seeing ghosts in the world."
"Then why can you see them?" Lu Qingshan asked again.
"I am a sword, sir." Qin Yitian replied.
"What you said makes a lot of sense." Lu Qingshan thought for a moment and praised.
"Thank you." Qin Yitian said gracefully.
"It seems like we're almost there." Lu Qingshan raised his head again and gazed into the distance. Finally, a different scenery appeared in his sight.
In the dim distance, one can vaguely see a vast mountain that is as high as the sky, and the entire mountain is the same dim yellow color as the River Lethe.
Huangquan Huangquan, this desolate yellow is the main tone of the Huangquan world.
In the underworld, besides Wangchuan, there is only Daishan.
So this vast mountain is Lu Qingshan’s destination.
The most frightening thing when traveling is not how long the journey is, but not knowing how far the journey is.
After seeing Daishan's shadow, Lu Qingshan, who had been a little depressed, immediately became spirited again.
He quickened his pace and continued forward.
A horse will die if it runs too fast.
So Lu Qingshan flew on his sword for another whole day before gradually approaching the foot of Mount Dai.
Daishan is so huge that from a close distance it looks like a gigantic wall separating heaven and earth, blocking the entire sky.
Suddenly, Lu Qingshan's expression changed.
Because in this silent underworld, he heard some very strange sounds.
It's vague and not very real.
But if you listen carefully, it seems a bit like some monster howling and roaring.
But when I listened carefully again, I felt that the voice seemed a little soft?
It doesn't look like some ferocious monster.
"Did you hear that?" Lu Qingshan asked.
"I heard it. It sounded a bit like a wolf howling." Qin Yitian responded obediently.
Immediately, Qin Yitian called out softly, "Master, how could you hear it? Could it be?!"
Lu Qingshan realized what Qin Yitian meant and said unhappily, "I'm not dead. I'm alive and well."
"How did that young master hear the sound of the underworld..." Qin Yitian's voice gradually became lower and lower, feeling aggrieved.
"This means that this sound was not made by a dead person." Lu Qingshan said to Qin Yitian, with a gleam in his eyes, "Let's go and see what made the sound."
Lu Qingshan rushed towards the source of the sound.
The sound came from the foot of Mount Daishan.
So even if he didn't plan to see it, he couldn't avoid it.
