King of Assassins

At the same time, Ripples and Ice Soul provided a stable coordinate in the Primordial Celestial Realm.

Gao Xuan, through himself, Ziwei Star, and Ripple Ice Soul, determined the coordinates of the Primordial Celestial Realm, while also establishing the coordinates of Ziwei Star.

With these two coordinates as the base points, Gao Xuan could determine his position at any time, avoiding getting lost in the Endless Void.

Trying to find other Celestial Realms in the Void is extremely difficult, because the Void is endlessly vast, with Primordial Qi but no Spiritual Qi.

Even Earth Immortals who get lost in the Void will eventually die slowly.

Luckily, Gao Xuan isn’t trying to go to the Upper Celestial Realm; he’s looking for the Netherworld Realm.

The Netherworld Realm is the lowest layer of the Celestial Realm and Cultivation Realm, where countless beings’ resentment and death energy converge into the Netherworld, leading into the Netherworld Realm.

Such enormous power, even the Netherworld Realm cannot digest, it must continue to lead into the Abyss.

Gao Xuan couldn’t find his way home in the Void, so he must first find the Netherworld Realm, then locate the world where King Zhuanlun resides, from where he can directly enter the Jiuding Star Realm.

Looking around in the Void, Gao Xuan could sense the corrupt energy sinking continuously.

The Void is endless, without any real substances, nor sun, moon, or stars, so there are no distinctions of up, down, left, or right.

For Gao Xuan, the direction where the corrupt energy sinks is downwards.

With this guidance, Gao Xuan kept moving downwards. After flying for several hundred days, Gao Xuan finally sensed the corrupt and deep aura of the Netherworld Realm.

The Netherworld Realm was not actually large, the ten Netherworld realms combined aren’t as large as the Primordial Celestial Realm.

However, the Netherworld Realm bears all the resentment and death energy flowing down from the heavens, including the sinking corrupt power from the Void.

Only now did Gao Xuan realize the horror of the Netherworld Realm. More accurately, the horror of the Abyss.

The Netherworld Realm could barely be considered a sluice gate, filtering out some less corrupt power and converting it into Netherworld Water. From Gao Xuan’s perspective, the converted power from the Netherworld Realm was insignificant.

The vast majority of the corrupt power precipitating from the heavens enters the Abyss.

Gao Xuan stood in the Void, looking at the Netherworld Realm ahead, a river of Netherworld Water penetrates the heavens, not truly penetrating but connecting through sections of Void channels.

Therefore, even he couldn’t find the channels where the Netherworld Water flows. He could only find the Netherworld Realm through brute force methods.

The ten Netherworld realms are like ten sluice gates, filtering out the sediment circulating in the Netherworld Water. The most corrupt and yin power is completely led into the Abyss.

After such diversion and filtration, the Netherworld Water transforms back into Primordial Qi, returning to the Void.

But only a tenth of the power returns.

In other words, since the world existed, the Abyss has been absorbing the scattered power of the heavens.

Gao Xuan, having validated as Earth Immortal in the Primordial Celestial Realm, now sees things differently.

At this moment, when he looks at the Netherworld Realm and the Abyss again, he senses something wrong within them.

The corrupt yin power doesn’t dissipate on its own, the Abyss continuously absorbs these powers, what would the Abyss become?

Such terrifying power, even Daluo Golden Immortals might not be able to control. What kinds of terrifying monsters might be bred within the Abyss?

Gao Xuan, thinking about these things, feels a slight chill on his scalp.

He initially thought of entering the Abyss to compete with Ksitigarbha King, but now he lost the desire to compete.

Thinking deeper, if he can see the problem with the Abyss, how could the powerhouses above the Nine Heavens not see it?

Normally, the powerhouses above the Nine Heavens should have intervened long ago. Now the Abyss remains the same, possibly even the Daluo Golden Immortals above the Nine Heavens have encountered issues.

Earth Element Daoist Monarch once discussed this issue with Gao Xuan. Polar Star Monarch surrendered due to his cowardice, but another reason was the long-standing silence from the Celestial Court, internally believing Gao Xuan to be the reincarnation of Emperor Ziwei.

Only this way could Gao Xuan’s Divine Techniques be explained!

Earth Element Daoist Monarch also gave an example, Jin Xiang, this Vajra Power King, was a powerful Dharma King of the Buddhist Sect. How could he reincarnate and retrain for no reason?

Thus, problems in the Upper Realm are evident.

Gao Xuan doesn’t quite agree with Earth Element Daoist Monarch’s judgment, two examples don’t prove much.

Of course, he also hopes for chaos above the Nine Heavens. Only then would he have the opportunity to rise.

But these are ultimately just idle talk. Gao Xuan and Earth Element Daoist Monarch don’t take them too seriously.

Even if there are changes above the Nine Heavens, they are still quite distant from them.

Arriving at the Netherworld Realm, Gao Xuan’s thoughts suddenly changed. The Abyss undoubtedly faces serious problems.

Gao Xuan, observing outside the Netherworld Realm for a while, prepared various plans in his mind, before slipping into the Netherworld Realm.

The dimly lit Netherworld Realm, without sun, moon, or stars, the sky casts a dark yellow hue, like a faded old photograph.

On the ground, a massive yellow river rushes, apart from the turbulent Yellow River, there are no signs of life on the dark yellow land.

The Netherworld Realm is filled with an aura of death everywhere. Living beings in it naturally feel suppressed.

Even someone as strong as Gao Xuan instinctively frowned. For Earth Immortals, the Netherworld Realm is too filthy and dirty.

It’s like a refined urban white-collar suddenly arriving at a countryside pigsty.

From any aspect, it feels extremely terrible.

Gao Xuan wasn’t afraid of the pervasive death energy in the Netherworld Realm; he inherently disliked this place.

Although Gao Xuan tried to restrain his aura, his vitality was incompatible with this realm.

The Five Elements Formless Divine Light spontaneously operated, driving out all the corrupt energy.

As the Five Elements Formless Divine Light circulated, encountering the death energy in the Netherworld Realm, it evaporated into lumps of white gas.

Gao Xuan was like a spark in the dark, though faint, incompatible with the night, extremely eye-catching.

Gao Xuan didn’t care, he didn’t want to enter the Abyss, if Ksitigarbha King dared to come to the Netherworld Realm, he wouldn’t mind competing.

In the Netherworld Realm, finding the Netherworld realm where King Zhuanlun resides becomes easier. Follow the turbulent flow of Netherworld Water down to the lowest level.

Back then, he met the old tortoise in the Netherworld Water, thinking back now, it still seems interesting.

Gao Xuan slipped into the Netherworld River Water, in an instant he was submerged by the endless river.

Not long after Gao Xuan disappeared in the Netherworld River, a giant black silhouette emerged from the ground. Ugly with large nostrils sniffing, following the scent forward to the edge of the Netherworld River, looking at the turbulent Netherworld River Water, its face showed an expression of deep confusion.

Meanwhile, deep in the Abyss, a black beast resembling a giant dog lifted its long ears.

Its eyes slowly opened in the darkness, in its blood-red pupils, appeared a small Daoist silhouette.

The black silhouette sitting next to the beast also opened its eyes, glanced at the beast’s eyes beside him, and uttered a low cry.

The entire Abyss shuddered with this low cry, countless bizarre life forms in the Abyss began trembling simultaneously, as they all emitted a series of piercing howls upwards with blood-red eyes.
