Wizard Immortal

Chapter 589 The Underground World

In the Maison region, in a narrow mountainous area, stands a huge crevice.

This is the gap between the surface world and the underground world. Through the passage within, creatures from the surface world and the underground world can connect with each other, achieving the function of entering and exiting.

In the past, this passage was under heavy seals. Not only was it covered and sealed by a large number of witch arrays, but a large number of wizarding groups were also stationed on it at all times to prevent the invasion of the underground world.

This is why the Dark Elves of the Underworld were quickly discovered by the Elven Royal Court as soon as they migrated.

"Your Majesty, there is no need for you to go in personally."

Before the crevice, Kural, his face grave, looked at the figure before him and advised, "It's just a matter of scouting the situation. You can leave it to other wizards. There's no need for you to risk going in yourself."

"If Your Majesty is still concerned, I am willing to personally lead a team down to investigate the situation inside for you!"

Looking at Adir in front of him, he spoke solemnly.

"I'd also like to go down and take a look." Gloria spoke softly beside her, gazing at the crack before her, sensing the aura emanating from it, a hint of surprise on her face: "I'm quite interested in this plague in the underground world."

"No need to say more." Adir's voice rang out softly in front of him.

Standing quietly in front of the passage, he wore a light white robe and his pure silver eyes looked down silently. His aura was profound, like an ancient mountain, majestic and tall. Just by standing there, he exuded an unshakable will and spirit.

"I'll go down and take a look myself. You can stay here with your men, teacher."

He turned to look at Kural in front of him and said this, clearly having made his decision.

"This..." Kural hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "If Your Majesty insists on going down, please take me and Miss Gloria with you."

"Even if we can't help His Majesty, at least we can clear away some of the disturbances along the way."

He glanced at the few dark elf wizards standing beside him and said something meaningful.

Adir nodded, offering no objection. He turned around and slowly walked down the now-opened, stable passage.

A few glimmers of light flickered around them, and after walking through the long passage, a somewhat dim world, but with a faint glow, gradually unfolded in Adir's eyes.

Contrary to expectations, the underground world is not completely dark; instead, it is filled with light, only slightly darker than the surface world.

Around the wilderness, patches of fireflies flickered. These were self-illuminating plants that grew extensively throughout the underground world, providing a wide range of light sources to this space.

Meanwhile, in the sky, every single element was gathering, and the massive amount of elements was constantly reacting hundreds of meters above the ground, simulating the effect of the sun and illuminating the entire space with its radiance.

"The underground world also has the distinction between day and night."

Beside him, a dark elf wizard from the underground world explained, "Unlike the surface world, the underground world's day and night do not depend on the sun, but on the activity level of the elements."

"When the elements are active, light will automatically appear in the sky, illuminating the entire underground world. When the elements are inactive, the light will disappear, turning into night."

"One cycle from when an element is active to when it stops is one day in the underground world, roughly equivalent to two days in the surface world."

"Is one day in the underground world equivalent to two days in the surface world?" Beside him, Adir nodded gently, then raised his head and slowly looked around.

Strictly speaking, this was his first time truly visiting the underground world, and everything there was incredibly new and exciting to him.

He looked around and saw only fluorescent fruits hanging high on the branches among the bushes, emitting colorful lights.

In the distance, unique subterranean creatures thrived in the wild, constantly emitting their own sounds that accurately reached Adir's ears.

What should have been a peaceful and serene scene eventually caused Adir to frown, sensing something discordant within it.

A faint gray power is spreading from all around, like basic elemental particles, starting from the most fundamental level and slowly expanding outwards.

The influence of this power is very small and spreads very slowly; it is impossible for ordinary people, let alone powerful wizards, to detect it.

Only Adir, who had already advanced to the fifth rank and possessed the Emerald Blood, could sensitively sense this situation.

The Child of Jade is born from the power of the Mother of Jade, nurtured by the essence of the Mother of Jade, and is most sensitive to nature.

The scene before him might fool others, but it couldn't completely block Adir's bloodline senses.

Quietly raising his head, Adir sensed for a while before looking up and gradually locking onto a certain direction in the distance.

In my spiritual perception, the source of this strange power is that direction, from which it slowly spreads in all directions.

"That place used to be the stronghold of the Mind Flayers, but it turned into a wasteland decades ago, and now there are no residents left."

Seeing Adir looking in that direction, an old dark elf wizard stepped forward and introduced him to Adir.

"Mind Flayer." Adir nodded, a hint of realization flashing in his eyes.

Mind Flayers are a renowned race in the underground world, and they also have a great reputation in the surface world.

Back when Adir had not yet advanced to the fourth rank, he had personally witnessed several powerful members of the Mind Flayer clan and experienced that strange power that could manipulate people's minds.

"Let's go take a look."

Gazing into the distance, feeling the surging source power in the distance, Adir raised his head, his figure becoming blurred in an instant, causing the surrounding space to tremble slightly.

A pale silver light enveloped the surrounding wizards, instantly carrying them away from their original spot, following Adir's figure into the distance.

Before long, a desolate land came into Adir's view.

On the black earth, enormous worms crawled and writhed, and drops of dark gray liquid flowed across the ground, carrying a profound gray power. The unique nature of this power made all the wizards present feel a chill run down their spines.

"Such severe pollution!"

Looking at the land before him and feeling the chilling aura around him, Kural touched his chest, his expression changing for the first time.

The land before them was filled with a strong radiation pollution, unlike the intense radiation that constantly emanated from the wizard; it was something far more polluting.

The moment the wizards appeared, the intense pollution that filled the area surged up, directly piercing through the radiation layer on the wizards' surfaces, attempting to contaminate the bodies of Kural and the others.

The intense pollution and destructive power immediately caused the powerful wizards present to change color, sensing the terror of this thing.

A faint emerald light slowly rose, and before their eyes, a faint glow appeared on Adir's body, spreading down with holy and sacred emerald power, transforming into the most solid barrier, enveloping everyone behind him and isolating them from the polluting power that filled the outside world.

After doing all that, he looked ahead.

Before them stood a massive spatial rift, shrouded in darkness, seemingly leading to a deeper part of the underworld.

"This is... a passage deeper into the underground world!"

Behind them, several dark elf wizards who had been brought with Adir exclaimed in surprise, their expressions changing repeatedly as they stared at the enormous spatial rift before them.

Unlike the surface world, the underground world, due to its unique characteristics, was artificially divided into many layers by ancient wizards.

The higher the level, the shorter the period of suppression and the lower the degree of integration with the surface world.

The lower-level worlds, such as the world where the dark elves live, have actually been assimilated by the wizarding world over a long period of time. Although they are still different from the surface world, the differences are no longer too great, and they can be called the same world.

The deeper level requires a different approach.

That is a true death zone, a natural disaster zone that has not yet been assimilated. It is filled with immense natural disaster power. Ordinary life cannot survive there, and even entering it will result in being corrupted and assimilated by the natural disaster power that fills it.

"Has the deep passage to the underground world been opened up without anyone noticing?"

Gazing at the completely open passage before him, and feeling the terrifying aura emanating from it, like a natural disaster, Adir frowned. A primal discomfort ran through his bloodline, and a feeling of disgust welled up within him: "Speaking of which, the traces of this plague outbreak itself seem very much like the contamination of natural disaster power..."

boom!!

Suddenly, a muffled clap of thunder rang out from the spot.

Tiny wisps of gray smoke gathered in mid-air. At that moment, a certain level hidden deep within the underground world seemed to sense the change, and the will within was about to awaken.

It was an extremely tall demon god, its entire body shrouded in a layer of deep black mist, making it impossible to see clearly. Its two arms were enormous, covered with bone spurs. At first glance, its overall form resembled an ogre from the surface world.

But compared to ordinary ogres, this being's aura was far more terrifying.

Drops of black liquid fell, and the mist in the sky rose, as if the dark will existing in the dark was being revived. At this moment, everything around was collapsing. Whether it was mountains and rivers or living beings, they all trembled under this figure and felt a great terror of annihilation.

However, as he gazed at the figure, Adir paused, feeling a strange sense of familiarity.

"Is it you?"
