In Zhu Xian, people start to rise from plundering entries

The stone forest was deathly silent, with only the whistling sound of the wind passing through the cracks in the stone pillars, like the wailing of ghosts.

Time passed little by little.

Lu Xueqi and Biyao were both focusing their energy on healing their injuries and restoring their spiritual power.

With the help of the Spirit Nourishing Pill, Su Han's spiritual power gradually recovered.

He looked down at the Netherworld Token in his hand.

The token is simple and unadorned, warm to the touch, and its patterns are ancient and mysterious.

Recalling the scene of the demon kneeling in worship, his heart was stirred once again.

He tried to probe the token with his divine sense again.

This time, unlike before when he only vaguely sensed a deep space, his divine sense seemed to penetrate a thin barrier.

The scene before me suddenly opened up, but it was not a real scene; rather, it was a perception of the mind.

He "saw" a road.

A blurry, dark, winding road stretched forward, leading to an endless, silent, twilight-colored expanse of water. A light mist hung over the surface, and a huge stone tablet could be vaguely seen standing by the water's edge, seemingly inscribed with ancient characters, though he could not make them out.

A distant, desolate aura, seemingly capable of guiding the souls of the dead, emanated from that road and that body of water.

At the same time, a clearer and more complete mnemonic naturally emerged in his mind:

"The netherworld guides the way, and the Yellow Springs return to their origin."

"By obeying my command, all evil will flee."

This incantation seemed to contain some strange power, creating a faint resonance with the Netherworld Decree itself.

Su Han was deeply shocked.

The Underworld?

Is that road the road to the underworld?
That body of water is... the River of Oblivion?

This Netherworld Token can actually connect with the legendary Netherworld?
Could it be that the path of the Netherworld is a method for communicating with the Netherworld and controlling the cycle of life and death?

This is absolutely outrageous!

If this were to spread, it would be enough to cause a shock and panic throughout the entire cultivation world.

Since ancient times, the cycle of birth and death has been one of the most mysterious and untouchable realms in the laws of nature.

This Netherworld Decree, and the Netherworld Path it represents, has actually ventured into this matter?
What are those demons suppressed at the foot of Liubo Mountain?
Why would someone kneel and worship a token representing the underworld?
Could it be that it is not simply a monster destroyer, but an ancient being with some connection to the Netherworld?
A flood of questions overwhelmed Su Han, leaving her feeling unsettled.

He felt as if he had inadvertently uncovered a corner of a shocking secret covered by the dust of history.

This secret is too vast and too dangerous.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

Knowing this now may not be a good thing.

The more you know, the more dangerous it becomes if you lack the strength.

The most urgent task is to improve our strength and then leave Liubo Mountain safely.

As for the secrets of the Netherworld Decree and Liubo Mountain, we can only proceed slowly and explore them cautiously.

He calmed his mind and withdrew his consciousness from the Netherworld Token.

The gloomy scene of the Yellow Springs Road and the feeling of the incantation disappeared, but that mysterious feeling remained in my heart.

He glanced at Lu Xueqi and Biyao, who were still in meditation, and pondered to himself. The secret of the Netherworld Token could not be told to anyone for the time being.

This isn't about distrust, but rather because this matter is so important that the fewer people who know about it, the safer it is.

Moreover, the Netherworld Path is clearly not a benevolent entity in the eyes of the righteous path, and may even be associated with the Demonic Sect. If Lu Xueqi were to find out, misunderstandings and conflicts would inevitably arise.

As for Biyao... her status as the eldest daughter of the Ghost King Sect is equally sensitive.

Su Han sighed inwardly, feeling that the road ahead was shrouded in mist, and although he had companions by his side, he still needed to act cautiously.

About an hour later.

Lu Xueqi opened her eyes first, her eyes shining brightly. Although she had not fully recovered to her peak state, her spiritual power had recovered to about 70-80%, and her breathing had become steady and long.

She looked at Su Han, who was guarding the entrance, and said softly, "Senior Brother Su, I am fine now. You can rest for a while."

Su Han nodded. He did need time to consolidate his cultivation and digest his insights from earlier.

He walked to a corner, sat down, and began to circulate his internal energy.

Biyao also woke up quickly. She was relatively less exhausted and was full of energy.

She looked around at the stone pillars with curiosity, especially the blurry carvings.

"Sister Xueqi, Su Han, what do you think these stone pillars are used for? They look so ancient."

Lu Xueqi also stood up, walked to a stone pillar, and stretched out her slender fingers to gently touch the blurry star pattern on it.

“These patterns… seem to record some kind of ancient constellation, or… formation.”

She pondered for a moment and said, "Liubo Mountain is said to be related to ancient astronomical observations. These stone forests may have originally been a huge observatory or a place of worship."

"Sacrifice?"

Biyao blinked. "Whom are we worshipping? A god? Or... some being we don't know about?"

Her words made Lu Xueqi fall silent for a moment.

The eeriness of Liubo Mountain, especially the monsters in the deep pit, casts an ominous shadow over the word "sacrifice."

Just then, Su Han opened his eyes and overheard Bi Yao's words.

He stood up, walked to the two of them, and his gaze fell on the carvings on the stone pillar.

Based on his perception of the Netherworld Token, he had a vague guess in his mind.

These stone pillars may not have been used for stargazing.

They might be part of a massive sealing formation!

It was used to draw upon the power of the stars to suppress the being beneath the earth.

The Netherworld Token might be the key to opening, controlling, or communicating with the core of this seal.

The thought sent chills down his spine.

If that's the case, then Liubo Mountain is not a blessed land of immortals at all, but a giant prison!

They are standing right here in the heart of this prison!

"We need to get out of here as soon as possible."

Su Han said in a deep voice, his tone solemn. (End of Chapter)
