Chapter 1891 The Path of Hell (2)

Yun Lintian stared at Xiao Shou, attempting to discern something from his expression. However, Xiao Shou was, after all, a ghost king. He didn’t show anything except a friendly smile.

“My name is Xiao Shou. People called me the Ashe Ghost King. I’m serving the Southern Emperor.” Xiao Shou introduced himself. “Are you a disciple of the Qing Clan?”

He had seen everyone except the Qing Clan before entering this place. It was normal for him to make a guess.

“Lin Yun.” Yun Lintian responded after a brief moment of contemplation. “We can go with you, but how much do you know about this place?”

“Except for the end of the bridge, I know everything.” Xiao Shou replied calmly. “Let’s walk and talk.”

As he finished his sentence, he turned around and walked away.

Yun Lintian briefly glanced at Gui Xuan and noticed that he was calm. Perhaps Xiao Shou was indeed a friend, as he said.

He didn’t think about it any further and quickly followed Xiao Shou.

“As you know, the Netherworld has stopped functioning since the disappearance of the Yama King, Meng Po, and the other officers. All the pathways to the outside world have also disappeared.” Xiao Shou began to explain.

“The Bridge of Oblivion can be considered a true god artifact of the Netherworld. Although it managed to survive the catastrophe, it almost lost its power completely.”

“In the past years, all the five emperors attempted to restore the bridge, but their efforts were futile. Later, a man named Yun Tian appeared out of nowhere and restored some of the bridge’s power. He was also the only person who managed to reach the end of the bridge and leave this place.”

“Since then, the bridge has become a symbol of hope for everyone.”

“Restored the power to the bridge?” Yun Lintian was surprised. “How?”

He was genuinely curious about Yun Tian’s method for restoring the bridge’s power. Perhaps he could do it.

Xiao Shou shook his head. “I have no idea as well. He was very mysterious. Even the Death God couldn’t see through him.”

Yun Lintian had, in fact, already anticipated this response.

He thought for a moment and then asked. “Even the five emperors couldn’t reach the end of the bridge?”

“Yes.” Xiao Shou explained. “After the Path of Hell, you will encounter both the Path of Heaven and Human. No one has ever passed through there. Not even the five emperors.”

Yun Lintian frowned deeply. “Are they really that difficult?”

“You will find out later. I cannot explain in a word.” Xiao Shou replied. “Most of us couldn’t even pass the Path of Hell. We have to rely on luck sometimes.”

“What do you mean?” Yun Lintian was puzzled.

“As you can see, the number on those monsters’ foreheads. They came from the tenth level of the eighteen hells. If we’re fortunate, we may traverse the Path of Hell without encountering the creatures from the lower levels. The deeper the level they come from, the stronger they are.” Xiao Shou answered. π‘™π’Ύπ’·π˜³π‘’π‘Žπ’Ή.π‘π‘œπ“‚

“Therefore, it’s not every time we can pass this path.”

Yun Lintian immediately understood. “I heard that once you pass the trials here, you are guaranteed to reach the God Ascension Realm. I don’t know how it works.”

“It is indeed true.” Xiao Shou replied. “There are numerous trials and tests in the six paths of reincarnation. You will face various challenges according to your abilities. Of course, the Path of Hell is the only exception thus far. It mostly depends on luck.

“Once you pass all four of these paths, your soul will undergo a transformation. All the blockages in your body will be eliminated. It is a process that every dead soul must go through before embarking on the path of reincarnation. We called it a process of rebirth.”

“Since we cannot go to heaven or the mortal realm, our strength won’t be wiped out in the final process. It can be said that we have exploited it.”

Yun Lintian was surprised when he heard this. In the myth of the Netherworld, every soul must undergo the soul-cleansing process before being reincarnated. Perhaps this was indeed the so-called cleansing process.

He thought of something and asked curiously. “Has anyone other than the current ghost kings ever passed the Path of Hell?”

“No. More precisely, they couldn’t even reach the Path of Hell, to begin with.” Xiao Shou looked at Yun Lintian with a meaningful smile.

Yun Lintian was stunned but soon understood. Even though the trial was based on a practitioner’s strength, it wasn’t easy for an ordinary practitioner to pass it. Only a truly exceptional talent could accomplish it.

Xiao Shou’s meaningful smile clearly indicated that Yun Lintian was special, much like the other ghost kings.

“It seems that the Southern Region will have another ghost king.” Xiao Shou chuckled softly.

Yun Lintian didn’t say anything further. Anyway, it was too late for him to conceal his strength from Xiao Shou.

Roarβ€”

All of a sudden, a ferocious roar echoed through the air.

Yun Lintian and Xiao Shou immediately halted their steps and prepared for battle.

At this moment, a group of tall figures resembling electric poles appeared in Yun Lintian’s sight. There were also the number nine written on their stomachs.

Xiao Shou felt relaxed when he saw this. “We are fortunate.”

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and an invisible force immediately swept through the air toward the incoming unknown creatures.

BANG!

Instantly, all the tall creatures were blasted into smithereens under Xiao Shou’s attack.

Yun Lintian was not surprised by it. He had witnessed the power of the Flower Ghost King before. It was a piece of cake for Xiao Shou to handle these lesser god-level creatures.

“Let’s go.” Xiao Shou said and continued to move forward.

Yun Lintian nodded and followed suit.

After walking for a while, Gui Xuan suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the left. “This…way.”

Xiao Shou was surprised and looked at Gui Xuan with curiosity.

Yun Lintian didn’t explain anything much. “Let’s go this way.”

“Your little brother…” Xiao Shou found it difficult to see through Gui Xuan. It was as if there was a mysterious layer of fog shrouding him.

Yun Lintian was unaware that Lan Qinghe had secretly infused her power into Gui Xuan’s body while granting him protection. It could prevent someone from seeing his true identity.

“He possesses a special ability.” Yun Lintian replied casually.

Xiao Shou didn’t ask any more questions and followed Yun Lintian…
