Chapter 167: 124, Underworld in Instance World, Teleportation Array (4K Chapter)
In Reality, Xu Xing secretly sighed in relief upon witnessing the birth of this Immortal Green Destiny and the Tenth Heaven Immortal Destiny.
He was in a hurry to resolve with soldiers and transform into the Underground Lord for several reasons. Besides the Immortal Base in the Instance World being different from that in Reality, the main Cultivation Method differing, and the Spiritual Energy being insufficient to support the next stage of cultivation, there was another purpose. This purpose was to try and see if he could condense another main Immortal Fate, such as the Tenth Heaven Immortal Destiny [Descending Dragon Heavenly Child] or the Nine Luminaries Immortal Fate [Spring God Ju Mang]. These Immortal Fates involved one’s destiny and the fundamental Great Dao.
After the Tenth Heaven Immortal Destiny was promoted to the Nine Luminaries Immortal Fate, he could get one chance for Fate Deduction.
But... if I only have one main Immortal Fate, wouldn’t it be difficult to obtain another chance for Fate Deduction in the Immortal Foundation Realm? This is not good news for me.
The Cultivation World was fraught with danger.
Fortunately, he still had the [Underground Lord], a backup Half Immortal Destiny. As long as he underwent Corpse Liberation, he could quickly transform into an Immortal Green Destiny. This would give him another chance at cultivating immortality along a different primary path.
The third-class Underground Lord...
Just a Wandering Ghost of the Underworld, without a Ghost Register, without duties...
That is to say, if I were to transform into a Corpse Liberation Immortal before my Immortal Fate was born, I would only become a third-class Underground Lord. Only after one hundred and forty years would I have the opportunity to be initiated into the teachings of the Low Immortals and have the chance to transcend in my cultivation...
Destinies influence each other.
The same goes for Immortal Fates.
That’s why after I resolved with soldiers, I condensed the Tenth Heaven Immortal Destiny [Six Caverns Immortal Official]. It was probably inseparable from the Nine Luminaries Immortal Fate [Spring God Ju Mang].
After glancing at the introduction of the Tenth Heaven Immortal Destiny [Six Caverns Immortal Official], Xu Xing had a guess.
The Corpse Liberation experiences of different people, and their subsequent treatment... were naturally different.
Would Immortals undergoing Corpse Liberation still have to start as the lowest-ranking Underground Lord? That was simply impossible. With his Immortal Foundation cultivation and an Immortal Fate, once he underwent Corpse Liberation, he would immediately receive the Tenth Heaven Immortal Destiny [Six Caverns Immortal Official].
His starting point as a Corpse Liberation Immortal was thus far ahead of others.
The Six Caverns Immortal Official is just one of the Underworld’s auxiliary officials...
Sadly, I don’t have a method for cultivating Yin Souls.
Xu Xing sighed.
In the first Instance World, he had only been an Unofficial Disciple of Daoist Mingcang. To receive the Corpse Liberation Method from him within a month was already considered a short period, let alone the subsequent Cultivation Method for the Underground Lord.
According to Daoist Mingcang, after a successful Corpse Liberation, senior members of the Daoist sect within the Underworld would impart the teachings.
And in this world where he currently was... it seemed there was no legendary Underworld.
Let’s go down and have a look.
Xu Xing began to take care of everything in the thatched cottage.
After he resolved with soldiers, his physical body had been completely consumed by his Yin Soul, leaving only a thin, shed skin. Even the fresh blood that had splattered earlier had vanished completely.
There was nothing else of value on his person, aside from the copper slip containing the ’Demonic Incarnation Technique’. He did not know what this copper slip was made of; even with his Immortal Foundation Realm knowledge, he could not determine its composition.
Hide it first...
After hiding the shed skin and the copper slip in a concealed location, Xu Xing prepared to depart.
「...」
For the Corpse Liberation, Xu Xing chose the darkest hour of the night. This was the time when Yin energy was at its densest, most suitable for resolving with soldiers.
Yin Souls were generally not hindered by worldly objects. If he still possessed a physical body, he would have had to use his Magic Power to dig a tunnel to go underground. But now, as a Yin Soul, he faced no such trouble descending into the earth.
He plunged downward.
Thirty zhang.
One hundred twenty zhang.
Over one thousand four hundred zhang...
After descending more than three thousand zhang, Xu Xing’s Yin Soul couldn’t be bothered to continue counting the depth. By the time he had descended two thousand eight hundred zhang, he could already feel a pull from the earth’s depths.
With a single thought, his Yin Soul could traverse several miles.
After traveling underground for an unknown distance, about Seven Days later, Xu Xing finally glimpsed a faint glow deep underground.
As he neared his destination, he slowed his pace, cautiously drifting towards the faint glow. Sensing no aura there, he finally emerged.
The moment he emerged, a vast Underground World spread out before Xu Xing.
Apart from being uninhabited, the scene was no different from an ordinary landscape in the Mortal World.
Restaurants, Post Stations, Gambling Houses, Pleasure Houses... all sorts of establishments were present.
However, with no one to maintain them, these buildings had all fallen into ruin. A building resembling an Academy had several Memorial Arches before its lacquered wooden main door. However, these Memorial Arches, along with the surrounding wooden structures on the street, were all snapped in half, presenting an extremely desolate scene.
Someone has used Great Magical Power to destroy this place.
Xu Xing flew above the Underground World, looking down.
A gigantic hoofprint was impressed upon a building near the Academy. It had come from east to west. It seemed to belong to a single-footed creature, leaving one line of hoofprints marking its arrival and another marking its departure. The two lines of hoofprints pointed in opposite directions.
This hoofprint was about three to four hundred zhang wide and resembled a Goat Hoofprint.
An unknown world?
Xu Xing followed the Goat Hoofprints to the far eastern part of the Underground World.
The hoofprints ended here.
This area was a valley. Inside it stood an extremely ancient hexagonal Black Jade Array Platform. The platform’s foundation was thick, green rock, surrounded by a layer of fine silver sand.
In the center of the platform floated a black Fire Command Token.
Xu Xing did not recognize the silver, tadpole-shaped script on the token. However, the moment he saw the Fire Command Token, this message naturally appeared in his mind:
*Following my master’s order... Destroying Qingli World... Underworld...*
