Sigh, I should have known that this journey would be fraught with dangers.
Is the Wild Ghost still unwilling to tell me why he is so familiar with this place, how he can open that door, and how he knows about this aerial garden?
Clearly, all these questions have a common thread: the Wild Ghost is definitely connected to this place and the Demon Clan. As for the specifics, I'm still not very clear.
"Xi Meng, come in," White Soul said softly as he walked up beside me.
"I want to stay here for a while," I shook my head, looking at the scenery in the distance. Setting aside that strange feeling, this place still looks beautiful.
"Hehe, isn't it beautiful?"
"Yes, it's simply like a fairyland, a scene that would only appear in human fairy tales."
"But look—" White Soul placed his hands on my shoulders and shifted slightly to the right at a forty-five-degree angle.
What is that?
It looks like a shadow of a person...
And it's very strong; its Soul Energy is definitely on par with mine, which is why I hadn't noticed its presence before.
"How could there be someone here?" I whispered.
"Shh—" White Soul extended his slender index finger and shook his head.
What's wrong? Could it be an enemy?! Have Siyimo's people tracked us down to this place?!
"Clang!"
Suddenly, a very faint sound, barely lasting half a second. By the time I focused my gaze again, that figure had already vanished without a trace.
"How could this be?" I rubbed my eyes in confusion. I couldn't believe it; this body was practically perfect. Even if I hadn't reached the highest realm, there was no way I could have misjudged anything!
White Soul remained silent, simply staring intently at that spot, frowning in contemplation.
"Was it a flower?!" I suddenly realized!
Indeed, the figure had stood motionless in front of a flower before disappearing in an instant.
When I first arrived, it seemed I was also drawn to a flower. If it weren't for the wild ghost, given the current situation, perhaps I would have vanished long ago as well.
A chill ran down my spine; everything here was indeed problematic!
"Remember, never touch those plants. The more beautiful they are, the more dangerous they become," White Soul advised.
"They... seem to have life," I said with uncertainty.
Moreover, they were definitely not simple monsters. It was strange, but I truly didn't know what kind of beings they were.
"A long time ago, this place was not known as 'Demon Abyss'," White Soul began slowly.
"What is that?"
"This is the extreme northern region of the Underworld, the coldest place where no species can approach. No matter how powerful one may be, they cannot endure even a day here. If hell is a dark and terrifying existence, it pales in comparison to this place. Here, anyone's spirit will collapse, and their body will rot away, leaving only despair until death."
I couldn't help but gasp, looking around at the scene; it was truly hard to imagine.
"The demon race was sealed here, but strangely, there is a breath of life present. Everything has begun to change, just like the extraordinary beauty you see now, which is exceptionally enchanting."
By the way, speaking of the sealed demon race, I suddenly remembered a question. "Where is the demon race sealed? Why haven't I seen it?"
"Don't you feel it yet?" White Soul smiled.
"…"
"You should have known by now, shouldn't you?"
"…Those—flowers?"
"Exactly. The demons are hidden within those beautiful plants."
I looked around and realized that those plants were no longer beautiful; they were terrifyingly grotesque.
"Why can others enter here besides us?"
"There are rumors... that there is a treasure here. If obtained, one could truly achieve immortality and rule the underworld."
"If the rumors are true, strong individuals should have gathered here long ago. Why does it feel so desolate?"
"Heh heh, you really believe it. Do you think anyone can just come in here?"
"Then how did Senior Ghost—"
"The Wild Ghost is an exception. To enter this place, one must reach the Realm of the Supreme Lord or even higher."
"Are you saying that rumor is false, just to attract those people here?"
"Yes," White Soul nodded.
"But why do that?"
"To absorb their souls and return to the Underworld," White Soul said with a frown.
I shook my head in disbelief. It couldn't be that simple. Just absorbing Soul Energy? Even if it were feasible, how many powerful beings would be needed?!
"The ambition of the Demon Clan has always been terrifying. They won't let go of even a glimmer of hope. Moreover, perhaps they have found a better method now—"
"What do you mean?"
"Look, that flower has become even more enchanting..."
My body trembled; indeed, that flower had grown significantly.
"Go inside and rest well. There are other matters to attend to tomorrow," White Soul said.
I nodded and followed him into the three-story pavilion, but I couldn't shake off the feeling that we were surrounded by the Demon Clan, who were stirring restlessly, along with the sound of their maniacal laughter...
