The most secure job in Dajin

The Nine Heavens are like a pyramid, rising higher and higher, getting closer to the Dao of Heaven; while the Nine Netherworlds are like a funnel, falling lower and lower, getting closer to nothingness.

Hua Changxi had never been to the Nine Heavens and did not know what the Nine Heavens were like.

But now, being in the Nine Netherworld, the upside-down and chaotic state of the Nine Netherworld filled her with a kind of absurd astonishment.

Here, the concepts of up and down are completely overturned; up is down, and heaven is earth.

Those islands floating overhead are nothing but mirages. Trying to reach them by flying upwards is futile; only by falling downwards can one possibly touch those islands.

Hua Changxi stared at this strange space, secretly speculating that this visual illusion might be a reflection of some kind of energy at the bottom of the abyss—reflecting the reality underground onto the illusory sky.

Although the floating islands in the sky are as illusory as mirages, they are like a mirror, reflecting the strict power hierarchy of the Ghost Clan.

This allows us to get a glimpse into the overall strength of the demon race.

"one two three four……"

Hua Changxi leaned against the window, looking up and counting the layers of floating islands in the sky.

If the land beneath our feet is the first realm of the Nine Netherworlds, then the floating islands a thousand meters above us represent the second realm of the Nine Netherworlds.

Several thousand meters further up lies the third region of the Nine Netherworlds, where the number of islands has become noticeably sparse.

At an altitude of 10,000 meters, corresponding to the fourth realm of the Nine Netherworlds, the islands become increasingly desolate.

Tens of thousands of meters above lies the fifth level of the Nine Netherworld, where only a few dozen solitary figures remain in the vast sky.

Ten thousand meters above sea level, in the sixth realm of the Nine Netherworlds, there is only one solitary island, hanging alone in the sky.

Further up, there are no more islands to be found.

In the Nine Netherworlds, the deeper one goes, the more polluted and dense the turbid energy becomes. Those who lack strength can only remain on the first level; if they rashly fall into the second level, or even further down, they will explode due to the corrosive effect of the turbid energy.

This is similar to how a cultivator explodes because they cannot withstand the dense spiritual energy.

Therefore, one needs strength to fall from the first level of the Nine Netherworlds.

Just like the sixth level of the Nine Netherworld, the Abyss, can only be reached by ghosts at the Ghost King level; the fifth level can be reached by ghost generals; and the fourth level can be reached by ghost generals.

The second and third levels of the Nine Netherworlds do not have strict realm restrictions; as long as one is willing to fight and kill, even low-level ghosts can set foot there. The Crimson Nightmare Lady has entered the Ghost Realm Fortress to seize territory.

Of course, what she coveted was never the first realm of the Nine Netherworlds, but the sixth realm of the Nine Netherworlds, which was suspended 100,000 meters in the air.

In the Red Nightmare Lady's ambition, it is time for a second floating island to manifest there.

"squeak~"

The gates of Niangniang Tower slowly opened.

A maid in red, her face veiled and carrying a white bone lantern, slowly walked out.

Within the white bone lantern, the eerie green flame flickered silently, its light not dazzling but exuding a chilling aura, illuminating a radius of a hundred meters around the red-clad maid.

Within the area illuminated by the lights, all the demons were forced to retreat.

After the maid in red casually closed the door, she glanced around indifferently before taking a leisurely stroll toward the most bustling street in Ghost Realm Fortress.

"Strange, Lady Crimson Nightmare didn't shake the Nightmare Bell when she returned to the Lady's Tower this time!"

"Never mind that, follow that maid! Capture her and perform a soul search to see what Lady Chiyan is up to."

The bustling and lively Ghost Realm Fortress is in no way inferior to the bustling city in the human world.

After entering the bustling city, the maid in red did not stop. She merely turned her head slightly, glancing at the furtive tails behind her. Suddenly, she turned and darted into a secluded alleyway like a ghost.

"Quick! Keep up!"

The alleys lead to alleys, like a maze.

The red-clad maid's pace quickened, her red robes leaving afterimages in the darkness.

A quarter of an hour later, when the few ghosts who had been following them rushed back into the bustling street, panting, they found only a crowd of ghosts and no sign of the red-clad maid.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the bustling street, a woman in black, holding a bone flute and wearing a ghost carriage mask, was strolling leisurely towards the brightly lit street inside the Ghost Realm Fortress. (End of Chapter)
