Transmigrated into a book? A vicious female supporting character? A senior sister? Tsk tsk!
Chapter 401 Underworld Arc - Arrival in the Underworld
Two days later, after bidding farewell to Xiao Yimo and the other two, Tang Xinyan teleported to the banks of the Dark Nether River, the closest river to the Xuanming Sect.
Previously, when Tang Xinyan had expressed her intention to explore the underworld, she had read many books about it.
According to those books, there are four places in the cultivation world: the Dark River, Black Wind Valley, Yin Forest Mountain, and the Snow Region, which are the places with the heaviest Yin energy in the cultivation world.
These are also the closest places to the underworld. If you want to go to the underworld, you need to use the underworld stone as a medium and these four places as entrances to successfully enter the underworld.
When Xiao Yimo delivered the gifts to Tang Xinyan, he also told her a lot about the underworld, including these four places.
On the dark, secluded riverbank, Tang Xinyan felt that as soon as she arrived here, the flow of spiritual energy in her body became much more sluggish, and the closer she got to the riverbank, the heavier the yin energy became.
Tang Xinyan released her divine sense, cautiously observing her surroundings. The Dark Nether River's water was as black as ink, and the entire river was filled with a chilling, gloomy aura, with a thick fog-like mist permeating its surface.
Tang Xinyan also discovered that the riverbank and the river water were lifeless, with not a single living creature or even a blade of grass.
Furthermore, the closer one gets to the river, the heavier the yin energy becomes. It seems that the yin energy is emanating from within the river, indicating that this dark and mysterious river is indeed a medium connecting to the underworld.
The snow moon, transformed into a mimicry, perched on Tang Xinyan's shoulder. Although it disliked the environment, its curiosity outweighed its feelings.
Noticing that Tang Xinyan had withdrawn her divine sense, Xueyue finally couldn't help but ask:
"Master, aren't we going to the Underworld? Could this place be related to the Underworld?"
Tang Xinyan nodded slightly and explained:
"Yes, the book and my master both say that this is the entrance to the underworld. I'm wondering if the entrance is at the bottom of the river?"
"The riverbed?"
Xueyue stared at the river, her expression indescribable, and said with some resistance:
"Master, this river water... doesn't look quite right. Perhaps you should... reconsider?"
Tang Xinyan didn't seem to care much:
"It's alright, I've been through even worse things with your owner."
However, Xueyue's aura here was indeed unsuitable for her. Thinking of this, Tang Xinyan made another suggestion:
"It was my oversight, Yueyue. Why don't you go back to the space first? I'll bring you out again when I get to the Underworld, finish my business, and go on my training."
"do not want!"
Xueyue refused without even thinking:
"Master, don't even think about abandoning Yueyue again. Yueyue doesn't want to go back, or she'll be forgotten by you again."
Tang Xinyan was both amused and exasperated. It seemed the little guy had become extremely wary, knowing that guarantees wouldn't work. Tang Xinyan could only try to reason with him:
"Yueyue, the underworld is too special. This is my first time going there, so I must be careful. Our Yueyue is so rare, I'm afraid you'll be targeted by ghosts."
Even if the owner promises you, you won't believe it, but this time the owner is alone and will definitely need Yueyue's company.
How about this, the owner can let Tuanzi share the view with you in the space, so you can see what's happening outside at any time.
"Once your master finishes his business and goes on a training expedition without you, just call for your master. Is that alright?"
Although Xueyue was unwilling, she was ultimately afraid of causing trouble for Tang Xinyan, so she nodded with a pitiful expression. After Tang Xinyan's repeated assurances, she reluctantly returned to the Realm of Fate.
After settling Xueyue in, Tang Xinyan adjusted her main spiritual root to a dark spiritual root, guided yin energy into her body, and circulated it throughout her body to completely cover the spiritual power within.
After changing her robes into black and carefully checking her attire to ensure it contained no traces of the cultivation world, Tang Xinyan took out the Nether Stone.
Yin energy is introduced into the Nether Stone, and as the yin energy is introduced, the Nether Stone is gradually lit up from the center outwards.
As all the Netherstones lit up, a protective shield suddenly appeared centered on them, enveloping Tang Xinyan.
This familiar formula reminded Tang Xinyan of the bead that Ji Zeyang used when they went to the sea. Speaking of which, she wondered how her third senior brother was doing.
Thinking this, Tang Xinyan was carried into the Dark River by the Nether Stone. However, this time, the Nether Stone did not sink to the bottom of the river, but instead flowed downstream with the current.
After "parading" in Hanoi for about fifteen minutes, a black whirlpool appeared ahead, and the spirit stone flowed straight into the whirlpool with the river water.
Then, all that followed was darkness. Tang Xinyan couldn't see her surroundings clearly, only the floating and sinking of the Nether Stones.
Tang Xinyan sensed the time; about an hour had passed when the floating speed of the Nether Stone suddenly increased, and a moment later, the surrounding environment changed instantly.
The Nether Stone returned to the river, its speed slowing down. Tang Xinyan looked back and saw the same black vortex as when they entered.
Tang Xinyan couldn't help but wonder:
'Could that vortex just now have been a passage connecting the two realms? If so, I must have already arrived in the Underworld?'
With this understanding, no matter how curious Tang Xinyan was, she dared not release her divine sense to probe indiscriminately. Instead, she kept her divine sense surrounding her body to prevent a sneak attack.
Gradually, the Nether Stone floated higher and higher until it finally surfaced. Tang Xinyan quickly looked around and had a general idea of what was going on.
The surroundings were completely dark and gloomy, perfectly matching Tang Xinyan's understanding of the underworld, except for the surrounding forest, which was a bit "out of place".
However, her master had previously said that after leaving Hanoi, there would be a forest, so it seems she has successfully reached the underworld.
Filled with curiosity, Tang Xinyan put away the Nether Stone. As for how to proceed from there, Xiao Yimo did not tell her in detail.
Since she was out here to gain experience, she had to figure things out on her own. Since she really had no idea what to do, Tang Xinyan could only rely on her intuition and keep walking in one direction.
Upon reaching the edge, Tang Xinyan was surprised to discover a small village not far away. She decided to remain invisible and explore the village.
The village is small, with only a few dozen households. All the houses are made of adobe, and the villagers don't seem very wealthy.
Tang Xinyan randomly chose a house, sneaked into the courtyard, and peered inside. The house was extremely simple, containing only a table and chairs.
At that moment, a person was sitting cross-legged on a futon in the corner, meditating. This person was pale and surrounded by wisps of yin energy.
This is quite similar to what Master described as ghost cultivators. However, Master said that the paler the complexion, the lower the cultivation level.
Judging from how pale this person's face is, he should be a low-level ghost cultivator. Compared to him, Tang Xinyan realized that her complexion was considered high-level among ghost cultivators.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. She's almost at the Void Refinement stage, which is already a huge deal in the cultivation world. Plus, she has a dark spiritual root.
The cultivation level conversion won't be affected, so isn't that just a high-level ghost cultivator!
