Chapter 1490: Chapter 1445: Secrets of the Netherworld, Seclusion for Enhancement!

What!

An intense chill, like a sudden cold wind, swept up from Xiao Chen’s spine.

Nine Nether Underworld Realm!

Hearing this name, at this moment, Xiao Chen felt it all seemed like a woven tale. The Nine Nether Underworld Realm was rumored to have been shattered during the era of the Wild Gods, with only the Ghost Tribe remaining from the original races.

Even an indigenous tribe like the Ghost Tribe couldn’t set foot in Nine Nether Underworld again, and this terrifying place had even devoured two Human Emperors. Qingmu old ancestor had purportedly entered the Nine Nether Underworld, even claiming that five Human Emperors had been there!

Xiao Chen’s first reaction was disbelief!

"You might not believe it, no matter, if you don’t believe it, just consider these words of this old bone that has been asleep for countless years as another story," he said.

Seeing Xiao Chen’s expression, Qingmu old ancestor showed no sign of emotional fluctuation, his voice resonating continuously.

"The All Heavens rumored that the Nine Nether Underworld Realm was shattered during the era of spiritual beings from the Desolate Wilds. This is true, but in fact, it was not completely obliterated, as there still remains a vast expanse of space!"

"In fact, a very long time ago, our Human Race discovered the anomalies within Nine Nether, but Nine Nether was too bizarre, and even emperors fell within it. Thus, Nine Nether is viewed by everyone akin to a forbidden land.

However, later on, a very ancient strong one from our Human Race presided over the edge of Nine Nether for two eras and finally discerned the changes in Nine Nether.

At the end of each era, Nine Nether undergoes changes, and at that time, warriors no greater than emperors could enter it for a period of ten years. After ten years, Nine Nether would revert back to its terrifying state!

And the end of an era is precisely when the Human Saint Children contend against each other, so from an unknown era, entering the Nine Nether Underworld Realm had become the ultimate and most terrifying task for a Saint Child!"

Xiao Chen listened quietly without making a sound. In fact, he had already started to believe Qingmu’s words, for the matters concerning the Nine Nether Underworld Realm hinted at by Qingmu were evidently beyond his imagination.

Perhaps even the origins of those Eyeless monsters had been thoroughly investigated—the dispatching of strong ones at the end of an era might have been an attempt to eliminate these monsters, though it appears they were unsuccessful.

Wait a minute!

Suddenly, Xiao Chen seemed to think of something!

"May I ask the old ancestor, does every Human Saint Child have to undertake this task?"

"According to the old traditions passed down, every Human Saint Child must enter Nine Nether Underworld, no exceptions!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen’s eyes turned sharp, and he immediately asked, "Then, may I dare to ask senior, can only those before the emperor level enter the Nine Nether Underworld Realm?"

"Correct, once an emperor enters, it will trigger the great terror of Nine Nether Underworld."

Saint Children must enter Nine Nether Underworld!

Their strength must be before reaching the emperor level!

A gleam flashed in Xiao Chen’s eyes—considering these two conditions, it implied the preparation of that Fuyu Sacred Child from Zhongtu, who wouldn’t break through to emperor level before attempting this!

"Cough... cough... cough..., this old bone has said so much just to seek your help. If you agree, then my Qingmu Emperor Clan would become a force under your command, aiding you in the conquest of the Hundred Realms!"

Finally, after saying so much, Qingmu old ancestor no longer beat around the bush and spoke straightforwardly.

"I don’t know what senior wishes for my assistance in?"

Xiao Chen spoke without hesitation, but in his heart, he knew that if it were just a small favor, Qingmu old ancestor wouldn’t have given such a lengthy exposition. It must be related to the Nine Nether Underworld Realm.

"In the future, when you enter the Nine Nether Underworld Realm, help me bring her back!"

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen was startled and did not understand the meaning behind Qingmu’s words.

"Senior, before discussing whether I can enter the Nine Nether Underworld Realm, even if I do enter, how am I supposed to bring back the one you mentioned, not knowing where she could be, let alone whether I can come out alive!"

"If you enter and can’t come out, this old man will accept it," he said.

Hearing this, Xiao Chen felt an odd difference, observing that such a powerful being like Qingmu old ancestor, who had lived for so long, was being quite rash.

Seeing the puzzled look in Xiao Chen’s eyes, Qingmu old ancestor’s figure spoke again, "Of the nine people who came out from the Nine Nether Underworld Realm back then, besides the five East Emperors who broke through to emperor level subsequently and escaped the curse of Nine Nether Underworld, the other three, excluding this old man, died not long after they emerged!"

As he said this, an intense aura of decay erupted from Qingmu old ancestor’s body, with currents spilling out. As he breathed, Xiao Chen saw the enormous coffin churning like boiling water, seemingly about to overflow.

However, what overflowed was not water, but a kind of yellow water that emitted an evil and decaying aura. Sensing the lingering Death Qi within it, Xiao Chen instinctively exclaimed: "Netherworld Water!"

Qingmu’s ancestor had been corroded by this Netherworld Water for nearly an era yet had not perished!

This was once again a refreshment of his vision - he would never have believed it if he had not seen it with his own eyes!

It was simply unbelievable!

Yet, what was even more unbelievable still lay ahead. Amidst the dense, decaying aura of death in the sky, a majestic and noble aura, akin to divine light ripping through the Vault of Heaven, burst forth from within the body of Qingmu’s ancestor.

"Divine Power!"

This Divine Power was exceptionally pure; even after the passage of countless years, it still radiated nobility and vastness that belonged solely to him!

"This is why this old man has been able to survive. In my youth, I accidentally stumbled upon a temporal space, entered an ancient Relic, and obtained a strand of divine light. It was this divine light that allowed me to withstand the Netherworld Water and hang on by a thread!"

In an instant, Xiao Chen understood - no wonder Qingmu’s ancestor valued him so much; it was because of his sudden Cultivation of Divine Techniques, thinking it could resist the Netherworld Water.

Soon, Xiao Chen also learned who she in the mouth of Qingmu’s ancestor was - a wife who had mutually supported him and entered the Nine Nether Underworld together, yet forever remained within, creating no earth-shattering tearful saga, but it was a lingering obsession of Qingmu’s ancestor even after an era.

Frankly speaking, Xiao Chen felt the persistence in Qingmu’s ancestor’s heart; should he be in his place, whether it was Mu Qing or Nianhua, he would have done the same!

"This old man has only two obsessions in this life - one is the Qingmu Clan, and the other is her. Now, as the era ends and the circumstances change dramatically, it’s time for Qingmu no longer to remain silent. It’s good to take a chance with you, after all, even emperors cannot predict what the next era brings!"

"Good!" After a moment of contemplation, Xiao Chen agreed, then immediately added: "If the junior enters the Nine Nether Underworld Realm and is able to come out, I will bring back the beloved bones of the ancestor!"

"Good!"

Though only a shriveled skeleton was left, skin clinging to bones, Xiao Chen still sensed the excitement in Qingmu’s ancestor’s heart.

...

Qingmu’s ancestor and Xiao Chen talked for a full day. He disclosed many secrets about the Nine Nether Underworld Realm and even about the secrets of the Human World and the Hundred Clans of Heaven, then was sealed in a coffin and carried back to the Human World by eight Supreme entities.

For now, Xiao Chen did not need this ancient relic to make a move. As a monster spanning an era and a being that elevated the Qingmu Emperor Clan beyond mundane reach, his strength was undoubtedly beyond comprehension, and Xiao Chen suspected he might even be at the pseudo-emperor level!

And the Qingmu Emperor Clan was completely under the command of him, the Forbidden Sacred Child. Of course, the agreement between the two was unknown to others, and as the oldest ancestor of the Qingmu Emperor Clan, his words carried more weight than the current clan leader of the Qingmu Emperor Clan.

Hence, among the five forces summoned by the orders of the East Emperor Palace, the Qingmu Emperor Clan, Sword-covering Pavilion, and Confined Meridian Warriors were completely brought under Xiao Chen’s command. Moreover, after the departure of the Taihao Clan and the Turtle Head King Division War Masters, any gaps in strength that appeared were filled by the Qingmu Emperor Clan.

In this way, among the Scorpion Clan, with Fu Mountain Sword Saint and the Rain Clan’s Blue Light Emperor, they still maintained suppression over the Scorpion Clan’s peak combat power, which slightly eased Xiao Chen’s mind!

At this moment, however, Xiao Chen had once again entered seclusion!

In the Small World.

Today’s Small World to Xiao Chen seemed even more like a real world, vibrant with life. Naturally, Xiao Chen’s gaze turned towards the golden giant scorpion he had sealed.

The reason he let the Blood Pupil Emperor of the Scorpion Clan retreat previously was because Xiao Chen had some guesses – this giant scorpion was not a real physical entity but related to the Scorpion God of the Scorpion Clan!

Moreover, based on his understanding of the Scorpion Clan, almost the entire clan had constructed statues of the Scorpion God and worshiped the Scorpion God; initially, when in the Blood Refining stage, he had obtained a small Scorpion God Statue.

Perhaps there was a connection with this giant scorpion, and the fact that Blood Pupil willingly left the scorpion behind suggested not only fear but also reluctance. Xiao Chen did not believe it was merely out of sheer fright and cowardice; there was a willingness to leave the giant scorpion behind.

At this moment, this hundreds of zhang large giant scorpion lay sprawled in the Small World, and abruptly within the Small World, the Sky Vault generated Thunder and Lightning. Miles of thunder burst like dragons, transforming directly into a horizontal thunder blade in the sky, slashing towards the giant scorpion!

Pu!

Suddenly, the thunderous Divine Blade, as if cleaving through nothingness, plunged directly into the scorpion, instead raising ripples!

"It actually ignores spell attacks!"

Xiao Chen quickly noticed the anomaly; this golden giant scorpion, although appearing fleshy and substantive, was truly illusionary.

Immediately, an Undying Spiritual Soul appeared, transforming into a divine light and directly crashed into the scorpion’s body.

Pu!

Accompanied by a slight crackling sound, without the danger that was imagined coming, Xiao Chen’s visions shifted as if traversing ages, entering another ancient and vast temporal space!
