Chapter 36: The Second Layer of the Netherworld

  Two more core disciples were added, and the power of Wang Qian's group increased greatly. They gathered together to discuss where to go for a big task and then receive generous rewards.

  They came back to the Pepsi Temple again, where a large number of tasks were released every day, many of which were published by high-level sects with very rich rewards.

  For example, an elder of a yuan fetal boundary wants to refine a law treasure or a dan medicine. There are many materials that cannot be searched for by himself. At this time, he can post tasks in the Hall of All Things and take out his own contribution points as rewards.

  Wang Qian and the other seven people's strength greatly increased, they wanted to choose a task with a higher difficulty level to do. This kind of task generally has a generous reward and is very suitable for disciples with high strength.

  After entering the Pepsi Temple, they discovered that their recent tasks had few categories, mostly related to underground creatures. The higher the level of the creature, the more generous the reward was after killing it.

  Seven people, seven pairs of eyes, constantly browsing through the task list, wanting to find the most suitable task for them.

  "Isn't this the most rewarding and fastest task to complete related to underground creatures?"

  Huang Zheng's face was filled with confusion and incomprehension, holding a task list in his hand, most of which were tasks to hunt and kill underground creatures. The sect was very generous towards disciples who went deep into the ground to participate in fierce battles, and they could obtain a large number of contribution points.

  "It seems that the underground demonic creatures have become a major threat to the cultivation world of Tianyuan Continent in this short period of time. I heard that many disciples from other sects are also rushing to the underground to fight and kill, with heavy losses in many places!"

  Wang Dao's face was heavy, his two sword-like eyebrows furrowed together, forming a single character.

  "I heard that recently, many of the elders and true disciples of Qingyun Gate have left the mountain gate in large numbers, as if they entered the depths of the earth."

  Zhou Qing didn't frown.

  "Big brother, do you think Master will also go underground?"

  Wang Qian suddenly thought of a possibility, that was Yun Shan also entered the underground world, and the feeling in the dark was indeed so.

  "I'm afraid that's the case. My master told me a few days before he left that many big shots from the underground would be coming, and Cloud Mountain Elder probably went too."

  The master of Wang Dao is Yu Tai Xu, this elder kills people without blinking, the underground has a stir, he will definitely go on a big killing spree.

  "Look quickly, kill a Black Night Scythe and obtain its Golden Elixir, and you will be rewarded with 1,000 contribution points!"

  "Moreover, killing a Black Night Captain-level creature has a reward of 10,000 contribution points!"

  They flipped through the task list, and were shocked one by one.

  The reward for Qingyun Gate this time is very generous, with a large number of contribution points listed out, all in order to encourage the disciples under the gate to go to the underground to fight and kill.

  Hei Yexiao is a more formidable type of yin-yang creature than Xue Yexiao, and each Hei Yexiao is equivalent to a Qi Refining cultivator in the early stages of foundation building.

  Yaksha Captain level, even more formidable, at least mid-Foundational stage.

  "Wealth and honor are to be found in danger, let's dive into the underground once again. This time, we must make a big profit no matter what. Perhaps in battle, some of us will break through our shackles and forge golden elixirs!"

  Wang Dao said coldly, a thread of terrifying killing intent flashing through his eyes.

  "Alright, we've already clashed with the Underworld creatures once. This time, everyone's cultivation has improved. I think we can enter the second layer of the Underworld, Di Ming, to fight. Although it's perilous, the gains will be much greater!"

  Zhou Qing sank into thought for a moment, then suddenly lifted her head, and her tone became firm.

  Others were eager to try, and couldn't wait to kill thousands of Black Night Demons immediately, then get astronomical contribution points in exchange for elixirs and the like.

  Wang Gan naturally agreed, as the creatures of the underworld could be said to be a species from another dimension, and they did not fit in with the cultivation world of Tianyuan Continent at all. There was an irreconcilable conflict between them, and killing them would not bring any psychological burden.

  The underground world was still dark and vast, with a distant horizon. The sky was filled with large patches of dark clouds that seemed to have no origin or destination.

  This land is strange, entering from the ruins of the Tianyuan continent above, deep into the underground, it's like another world.

  Wang Gan entered the underground underworld for the second time. He looked up at the sky and still didn't understand where the faint light came from.

  The first layer of the underworld, dry riverbeds, bare mountains, and from time to time many strange and ferocious creatures emerge.

  This time they were lucky and didn't run into any yin-yang creatures right away, and the surrounding area was extremely desolate for hundreds of miles.

  "This place is too eerie, I feel very uncomfortable every time I come in!"

  A gust of cold wind blew by, and Huang Zheng shivered, muttering to himself.

  "Let's hurry up to the second floor, don't waste any time!"

  Wang Qianyuan's soul in the fetal realm, in the first layer of the world, was almost invincible, sweeping around at will. The land within hundreds of miles was under his observation, and everything was clear, without any secrets.

  Seven people, walking swiftly on the Netherworld, the underground world is very strange, it seems to be a deep void, layer by layer deeper, and the strength of the inhabitants inside is constantly increasing.

  Between each layer, there are many channels. Wherever the channel is located, a whirlpool of a certain dark and mysterious aura will form, called the Netherworld Barrier, which is very eye-catching.

  They soon found the first underworld barrier.

  Yin and yang demonic energy, icy cold to the bone, without getting close, the whole body starts to feel cold, upon closer inspection, this demonic energy is completely different from the demonic energy cultivated by demonic dao practitioners, icy cold, pure, strongly corrosive.

  So the surroundings of the Netherworld's screen are all over with bare black stones, extremely hard and unyielding, a kind of strange stone. Unfortunately, it can't be used to refine magic treasures, but rather is formed by countless years of erosion from the constant flushing of the Netherworld's demonic energy.

  "Be careful, this yin-yang devilish energy has a strong corrosive power. Zhao Kuang, Chang Qing, Hao Ran, Huang Zheng, you all use your full strength to operate the true yuan and protect yourselves!"

  Zhou Qing turned back and kept reminding him, his body emitting a strong blue sword light, sharp and condensed. Wherever he passed, a large amount of dark magic was cut open and couldn't touch his body at all. This is the powerful place of Jian Xiu Fa Li.

  At this time, no one dared to be careless. If they were not careful, they would be corroded by the dark and mysterious magic, and even if they had built a foundation, it would be difficult to eliminate it. They could only watch as their physical body rotted and destroyed their foundation.

  Wang Qian also sensed that the gloomy demonic energy here was not simple, but he wasn't very clear about his current defensive power and wanted to test it out.

  The sea of bitterness was calm and peaceful, with no divine power in operation. He relied on his own strong physique to directly penetrate the demonic energy.

  Wow!

  A chill ran down his spine, causing his hair to stand on end. His entire body trembled as a faint blue aura swirled around him. All the demonic energy was shattered, destroyed from the smallest unit of organization, just like breaking the DNA link in a person's body. Any mysterious effects were completely eliminated.

  Step by step, the gloomy and eerie atmosphere grew thicker, making one feel as if they had entered the deepest darkness of night, unable to see their own fingers when stretching out their hand.

  Wang Qian's eyes flashed with a greenish-blue light, piercing through the demonic energy and seeing directly ahead.

  A mouth of demonic well was gushing out a steady stream of dark, eerie energy, like the maw of an abyssal behemoth, as if to devour all life in its vicinity.

  "So this is what the Netherworld Barrier looks like!"

  Wang Gan suddenly enlightened in his heart, turned around to take a look, others were not as relaxed as him, but they wouldn't be in any danger either, indeed all of them had extraordinary skills and defenses that were nothing short of remarkable.

  Everyone gathered at the edge of the Netherworld's barrier and looked at each other, but there was no major issue.

  "This second layer of the underworld, none of us are clear what it's like inside. Alright, I have the strongest defense, ordinary dangers don't pose a threat to me, I'll go down first, you all follow after!"

  At this time, Wang Qian naturally took the lead, and although Wang Dao and Zhou Qing were in the foundation-building period, they were still very fragile compared to him, and would fall with a slight carelessness.

  "Alright, both of us are sword cultivators, although our attack power is strong, but this defense is really not good."

  Zhou Qing and Wang Dao were both very clear about their own advantages, and after instructing Wang Gan to be careful, they carefully watched as he stepped into the demonic well and disappeared.

  Pfft!

  Wang Gan felt himself passing through a layer of invisible barrier, and soon his feet landed solidly. He looked up to see that in the void there was a faint black hole, blurry and unclear.

  He observed the surroundings again, and there was not much difference from the first layer. The sky was dark, the earth was desolate and barren, but the demonic energy in the air was about ten times thicker than that of the first layer.

  He took out a communication jade token and casually threw it into the black hole in the void. Fortunately, this place could transmit messages; otherwise, he would have had to go back up to inform others again.

  After a moment, all seven people arrived, and they had truly entered the second layer of the Netherworld.
