C400 Enter the Underworld Earth
The main reason was that the Underworld Earth produced Green Underworld Grass, Nine Nether Flower, and other Saint Grade wondrous medicines, as well as Yellow Springs Stones, Underworld Gold, and other special medicinal Spirit Materialss. These things were completely impossible to find in the outside world. For example, every single Nine Nether Flower could be considered a priceless treasure in the Heavenly-sword Continent, and the price was even higher than ten ordinary holy medicines. However, there was simply no market for them.
Lee Shaoyu had once obtained a few secret techniques in the Space Breaking Realm. Among them, he was very interested in the Nine Soul Undying Technique. This technique could condense nine subsouls for his True Spirit. As long as one of the nine subsouls was imperishable, he could borrow a massive amount of medicinal Spirit Materialss to condense a new True Spirit. It could be said that he had left nine lives for himself. It was truly a heaven-defying technique. Of course, the number of True Spirits needed to condense a new True Spirit was also a terrifying number. Ordinary people could not afford it, but after all, there were more chances of survival.
The Nine Nether Flower and the Green Nether Grass were the supplementary herbs needed for this technique. This was also the fundamental reason why he wanted to explore the Underworld Earth. * Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! There were various secret realms in Heavenly-sword Continent that had the chance to obtain treasures left behind by immortals. However, it was very difficult to obtain Underworld Earth treasures because the Hades Clan had a large number of them on one side of the continent. Furthermore, they were extremely powerful, and even Celestial Stage experts had almost died inside. After escaping, they became crazy and lived the rest of their lives in a daze. Facing the outer seas, the Hades Clan's power was much weaker. There were often Cultivators brought out from the Underworld Earth by Spirit Materialss, which were also the main source of the Underworld Earth Spirit Materialss circulating on the continent.
After fully deciphering and understanding the information on the Underworld Earth, Lee Shaoyu was able to purchase a large amount of resources before he embarked on his journey to the Underworld Earth. Very quickly, he arrived at the border between the Underworld Earth and the Heaven Sea Town. When he truly arrived, he could not help but be shocked by the scene before him. On this side of the Underworld was still the shade of grass and trees. On the other side was a lifeless atmosphere. The entire world was shrouded in roiling black fog. The black fog shot up several dozen meters into the sky, resembling a black city wall that lay in front of it. It was isolated from the Cultivator's detection. Dark green Devil Grass grew in front of the black mist, devouring the natural Yuan Qi of the outside world. At the same time, it emitted a thick aura of death, as if it was a dividing line between life and death! This was a plant unique to the Underworld Earth. It could transform the natural Yuan Qi into the nether death Qi and provide energy for the Hades Clan.
If one took another step forward, they would reach the outer region of the Underworld Earth. This black fog wall was the final warning the Hades Clan gave to the outsiders. Cultivator that dared to step over the black fog would be hunted down by the Hades Clan! A layer of medicinal Lee Shaoyus rose from Lee Shaoyu's body, isolating him from the outside world. The Underworld Earth was lacking in Yuan Qi and was basically covered by a type of death energy. This kind of death energy was extremely harmful to the Cultivator. It would corrode the Cultivator's body and soul. s were unable to absorb the death energy from the outside world. It had to rely on medicinal Spirit Materialss and food to replenish its body's needs.
After taking a deep breath, Lee Shaoyu strode past the obstruction of the black mist and stepped into the Underworld Earth. After passing through the black fog, his vision suddenly widened. Only a few hundred meters high in the sky, there was still rolling black fog, like the top of the sky. Because the Hades Clan did not like sunlight, they used the black fog to block the sunlight.
The ground outside the Underworld was a greenish-gray color, and three inches above the ground, there was a faint black aura of death. It was like streams of smoke and life forms were drifting in the Underworld. This was the energy form that belonged solely to the Hades Clan. Even the natural Yuan energy would be converted into an aura of death by the Underworld Earth to be absorbed by the Hades Clan. Although there was an energy shield isolating it, it was still able to absorb the natural Yuan energy within the Underworld Earth. But the death energy was like tiny black snakes floating around him, causing him to feel a chill run down his spine. It was just like how the Hades Clan repelled sunlight and heaven and earth origin energy. Life forms naturally rejected this death energy.
He took out a map of the Underworld Earth that he had bought. On it were signs of the gathering points and special Hades Clans produced by the Hades Clan. Just this map alone cost him 500 high-grade crystals. This was because these places were explored with countless lives and blood. With this map, he could avoid many detours and unnecessary risks in the Underworld Earth.
The Green Hell Grass and Nine Hell Flower that Lee Shaoyu needed were produced in an abandoned ancient mine located deep in the outer region of the Underworld Earth. However, the Hades Clan was active there. It was extremely dangerous, and the mine itself was filled with all kinds of strange and dangerous things. Therefore, very few explorers were willing to set foot in it. However, high risks accompanied high profits. Underworld Earth's holy medicines were produced there. There were even more special ores, so there were some powerful individuals who had previously entered. They also obtained quite a bit of harvest, but there were only a few who obtained it. More than 90% of the people had died inside, which meant that it was extremely dangerous inside. However, in order to cultivate the Nine Soul Undying Technique, he had to go through even the Dragon Pool and Tiger Cave.
The ancient abandoned mining area was more than 30 thousand miles away from here. If it was in the outside world, this 30 thousand miles wasn't too far away. At most, he would only need to fly for ten minutes to arrive. However, it would take him at least three days to complete this journey within the Underworld Earth. Because the Hades Clan liked to live underground. Even the Mighty of the Hades Clan never flew in the air, so the Hades Clan was extremely sensitive to flying creatures in the sky. Once they found any flying creatures, they would attack together. Therefore, Lee Shaoyu could only travel on the ground. In the Underworld Earth, there was no way to absorb external Yuan Qi to replenish his energy. Therefore, he could only maintain his speed. He could only travel ten thousand miles per day at most.
Fortunately, he bought a detailed map before entering the Underworld Earth. During the journey, he had passed through several dangerous areas and small Hades Clan gathering points, but he had bypassed them according to the map's markings. The journey was not too dangerous, and it took him five days to reach the periphery of the ancient abandoned mining area.
Because it was a abandoned mining area, there were many minerals underground. As a result, the land here was no longer the bluish-gray color of the periphery. Instead, it had become a thick bluish-brown color, and the death aura was even denser. In other places, there were some plants unique to the Underworld Earth, such as the pitch-black Black Devil Tree and Origin Underworld Grass. However, this place was covered in yellow sand, not a single blade of grass growing. It was even more desolate than the originally deathly silent Underworld Earth!
According to the legends, before the ancient era, this place was a large mine that produced extremely precious profound crystals. However, one day, the miners dug out an old stone coffin. After the stone coffin was exposed, traces of silver blood seeped out from the coffin wall. The miners who dug out the sarcophagus seemed to have seen something terrible and were scared to death. None of them were ordinary people who could mine here. All of them were Cultivators, so many people wanted to open the sarcophagus to see what was going on. However, they died one after another. Later on, even the miners and the higher ups of the mine who had never seen the sarcophagus died mysteriously. Strange and ominous things shrouded this place. No one dared to enter the mine again.
In the end, the major faction that controlled this place sent out several Mightys to investigate this place. They also disappeared into the mines one after another without being able to come out. That major faction could only order the mine tunnels to be destroyed and buried the sarcophagus once again. Even so, the people who went to mine still had accidents one after another. In the end, the mine was abandoned and turned into a ruined mine.
After the ancient war, this originally strange abandoned mine was occupied by the Hades Clan and was placed in the territory of the Underworld Earth. These legends were slowly lost, but it was recorded on the map.
The entrance of the mine was as dark as the mouth of a demon. It was as if it was ready to devour someone. On the ground, scattered animal bones and human bones were scattered. Some of them looked like they had been there for a very long time. A light touch of the bones turned them into dust. A cold wind blew across the mine, sweeping up the reddish-brown sand and turning it into a red whirlwind.
The cold and deathly silence seemed to be the eternal theme of this place.
