Chapter 851
851 Eighteenth Level (2)
After coming here, various mental and soul statuses naturally followed.
However, the energy it provided or the soul fragments it nourished became extremely slow at the same time, almost stopping.
The amount of energy produced every second was still calculated according to the uniform time standard of the continent of the Nine Provinces.
A day’s worth of energy spread across 3,750 years was naturally extremely scarce, causing Jiang Li’s cultivation in hell to encounter many problems.
!!
However, thinking about it, this was normal.
If the gain was really affected, it might be an even greater problem.
This was because his previous experiences had long proven that the rules of heaven and earth did not have the ability to change the status panel that affected him.
Even the Heavenly Dao of the three worlds could not retrieve its Merit Lotus after being forcefully exploited by him.
Now, if the rules of the flow of time could accelerate the effect of his interface, wouldn’t slowing down the time also reduce the effect of his interface to the lowest?
If he went to the Heavenly Realm in the future, wouldn’t he lose 364 days of status benefits every day?
The effect of the permanent status was not affected by the flow of time in hell. This instead proved the power of the status bar.
However, in this way, Jiang Li had planned to enter the 18 levels of hell through his main body.
It seemed that his plan to obtain endless immortal qi in a short period of time had temporarily failed.
In addition, the 18 levels of hell were not a paradise for cultivation.
Even if one could endure endless pain, in this space, no matter how long one cultivated, it was impossible to break through to the Immortal realm.
His clone was an example.
Jiang Li raised his hand and shattered another stone shell in front of him.
It revealed the Infinite Dao Ghost that had already condensed a Yin body and become almost identical to a living person.
His cultivation level had also stagnated at the same level.
“It’s still a step away from becoming a Ghost Immortal?”
However, this was enough.
Jiang Li calculated the time. He had gone into seclusion for an unprecedented 3,750 years, which was equivalent to a day in the outside world.
Because his main body was still outside, he could only cultivate his Essence Soul and soul.
Therefore, during this period of time, he had been using the Bodhisattva Heart Sutra to read the lives in those dreams.
The spirit refinement cultivation that had fallen behind walked to the front in one go.
His soul was already considered perfect and his accumulation was extremely robust. He was only a step away from breaking through to the Immortal Soul realm.
Since he had already grasped this Dao Ghost, it was time to go to the next level.
Jiang Li did not bring the Dao Ghost with him. He controlled the clay clone to look at the two staircases and decisively chose the one that descended.
He climbed down the staircase.
This time, the change in time was not as exaggerated as before.
This was because the time flow between the first and second levels of hell was only twice as fast.
If one did not pay attention, they would not even notice.
On the second level, there was the Hell of Scissors.
On this level, it would cut off ten fingers of the sinful ghost every day and grow another ten fingers.
Here, Jiang Li also saw a motionless ghost without facial features.
He used appraisal. As expected, it was another Infinite Dao Ghost.
In the former Netherworld, the punishment was extremely heavy for a long time.
Among ten ghosts, five or six had to go to the eighteenth level of hell.
As a result, every level here was almost full.
From the looks of it, there was probably one on each level!
This was not a bad thing for Jiang Li.
He used the same method to brainwash the ghost.
Due to the increase in the flow of time this time, it only took half a day in the outside world for 3,750 years to pass.
Then, he continued down.
The third level was the Iron Tree Hell.
When they were alive, they sowed discord between their children and instigated father and son to fight. Brothers, sisters, and husband and wife were at odds, so after death, they went to the Iron Tree Hell.
The tree was covered in sharp blades that pierced into the person’s back and hung on the iron tree.
The fourth level, the Sin Mirror Hell.
They punished the ghosts who had escaped punishment in their life through bribery and other methods.
The fifth level, the Bamboo Cage Hell.
They specialized in treating those who were usually short-sighted, framed, slandered, and insulted others.
The sixth level, the Bronze Pillar Hell.
The Bronze Pillar Hell was for those who deliberately set fire to or as evidence of destruction, revenge, and murder.
After death, they would be thrown into a Bronze Pillar Hell. The ghosts would strip them naked and let them hug a bronze pillar while burning charcoal in it. It was the so-called burning punishment.
The seventh level, the Wok Soup Hell, specialized in treating murderers.
The eighth level, the Iron Bed Hell, punished all evil women who harmed their husbands, committed adultery, and maliciously had an abortion.
On the ninth level, the Mountain-Covering Hell dealt with prostitutes, thieves, and robbers. There were also those who bullied the weak, falsely accused others, ate animal meat, and plotted to seize other people’s property and wives.
Level 10, Ice Hell.
Level 11, Skinning Hell.
Level 12, Beast Hell.
Level 13, Saber Soldier Hell.
Level 14, Iron Grind Hell.
Level 15, Banishment Hell.
Level 16, Iron Book Hell.
Level 17, Maggot Hell.
Level 18, Copper Hell.
Just like that, less than a day passed in the outside world.
Jiang Li had already stayed in each level of hell for 3,750 years.
Beside him was another Infinite Dao Ghost that had been brainwashed.
He was currently in the lowest level of hell.
This hell was purely made of flat brass.
There did not seem to be anything abnormal.
However, this hell was extremely hot in the day and cold at night.
When it was hot, it could melt the brass and turn it into a sea of liquid copper. When the ghosts fell into it, they were burned by the scorching liquid water until they wished they were dead.
At night, it would be extremely cold, freezing the ghosts that were exposed to the liquid and making them unable to move at all.
After repeated torture, no ghost could last long.
Only ghosts who had committed all the sins on the 1st to 18th levels would be thrown in here.
In theory, the longest sentence here was 1.31072 billion years.
A day in the human world was equivalent to 491.52 million years here.
It was not an exaggeration to say that it was an eternal calamity.
All the ghosts thrown in here could be destroyed in about a breath of time.
At this moment, he was planning to come to the eighteenth level of hell!
This was because he had already seen the Nine Nether Wood that he had been thinking about for many years!
Perhaps because the rules of time were too ridiculous, the eighteenth level of hell was extremely fragile in terms of space.
Even a three-year-old child could break through the boundary here.
After casually tearing open the border of hell, he saw the huge tree in the endless space outside the eighteen levels of hell.
The huge tree that lay outside the eighteen levels of hell and used its roots to coil to support the Netherworld and reincarnation.
The complete bloodline suppression made Jiang Li instinctively tremble from his soul to his body.
Even if the other party was an unconscious divine tree,
moreover, according to the Nine Nether Dao Scripture, it might take the initiative to receive Jiang Li’s will.
However, Jiang Li wanted to devour the other party instead of absorbing it as nutrients for its consciousness.
In addition, the restriction left behind by the ancient mighty figure on the Nine Nether Wood seemed to still exist.
Jiang Li could see that there were actually more than ten wooden lumps on the huge Nine Nether Wood.
Presumably, the nearby Nine Nether Wood had already arrived here.
However, because they were not strong enough, they were all swallowed by the mother.
As nutrients, the soul will still could not give it intelligence.
Could Jiang Li’s current soul reach it?
Relying on the status panel, he might be able to last a little longer, but it was still not safe.
If he failed, it would be too embarrassing.
Therefore, before seizing the authority of the Nine Nether Wood in the end, Jiang Li still had to do something else!
