Dashing Student Chapter 1488 1463: The Path of the Evil Ghost

When Wen Jing woke up, he felt as if his body were about to fall apart, but the sensation of being scorched was gone, and the pain of having his body pierced had disappeared.

He hurriedly got up and inspected his body, his clothes were stiff with dried blood stains, yet the wounds had vanished without a trace.

Looking around, he immediately noticed Chen Nan's muscular frame, facing the wall, staring intently.

"Fellow Daoist?"

Wen Jing approached and found that Chen Nan was actually gazing at a stone tablet embedded in the mountain. The tablet had carvings that exuded an ancient aura at first glance.

"What is this?"

"The punishment of the Six Paths of Reincarnation!"

Wen Jing promptly looked closer and read the text on the stone tablet.

Six Paths of Reincarnation · Hell Path.

"Those who kill will be pierced by thousands of sharp blades, endlessly repeating."

"The treacherous will suffer the pain of having their tongues pulled out, ceaselessly."

"The betrayer will endure the agony of a fractured heart, severing liver and intestines."

"All who enter the Hell Path will be burned by Karmic Fire; the deeper the sin, the fiercer the flame, until the soul is shattered, never to reincarnate."

After reading the text, Wen Jing shivered with fear, the characters were blood-red, seeming to be stained with fresh blood, causing him to involuntarily retreat two steps in fright.

"Terrifying, is this really Hell?"

Chen Nan remained silent, recalling the wheel on the gate of the Secret Realm, associating it with the Six Paths of Reincarnation, thinking that the wheel represented the Six Paths.

And now, they were in the Hell Path, with five paths remaining.

Even cultivators weren't certain if Hell and the Six Paths of Reincarnation truly existed, what was known were just some legends, not detailed.

So even if they knew there were still different paths ahead, they didn't understand what punishments each path held.

Wen Jing started to have second thoughts, being just a small loose cultivator, scavenging was fine, but facing such tremendous danger and terror, his first thought at that time was to retreat.

But when he looked back, he saw the raging Karmic Fire still burning, and the flowing magma in the cracks.

They were still within the Hell Path, but had reached the endpoint, where there were no terrifying high temperatures, no burning Karmic Fire, and no sudden appearances of sharp blades; it seemed just an ordinary space.

However, behind was the Hell Path, ahead was a bronze gate, carved with figures in various poses of sinking and struggling, there was no way back, no one wanted to endure the horror of being burned by Karmic Fire again.

"Once you enter here, there is no retreat, only to move forward." Chen Nan sighed, patting Wen Jing's shoulder.

Wen Jing's face suddenly turned pale, grasping Chen Nan's arm and bursting into tears.

"It seems I can't get out, but I don't want to die, I want to live!"

His words made Chen Nan a bit sentimental, this was the fate of most ordinary cultivators, perhaps during an expedition or adventure, they might die on the way.

Achieving greatness always remains a legend, and the wealth hidden behind danger would be divided by those strong.

"I found something that might save your life." Chen Nan suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Wen Jing immediately stopped crying, his eyes burning with hope, treating Chen Nan as his lifesaver.

"Fellow Daoist, save me!"

"Use Taiyin!" Chen Nan said resolutely, his gaze penetrating.

"Taiyin?" Wen Jing was stunned, then his face fell again, tremblingly taking out a small bottle of Taiyin from his storage bag, containing just one drop.

Taiyin was precious; even those in the Nascent Soul Realm had little, let alone Wen Jing, a small loose cultivator.

Even one drop of Taiyin was acquired through life-threatening experiences.

"Can this one drop save my life?"

"It's tough." Chen Nan sighed.

Although Taiyin can guard against the penalties within the Hell Path, the consumption is enormous, and Chen Nan, bringing Wen Jing to the end of the Hell Path, consumed a whole bottle of Taiyin.

If he didn't possess a Spirit Root transformed from Taiyin, consuming mana to generate Taiyin, he couldn't sustain such consumption.

There are also those cultivators fused with Taiyin, like Ling Shuanghua, who can support the consumption, possibly moving with ease in the Six Paths of Reincarnation, like walking on flat ground.

Wen Jing's single drop of Taiyin was too little, only sparing him a second's worth of agony.

Seeing Chen Nan's expression, Wen Jing knew the answer, his eyes turned red instantly, but this time he clung to Chen Nan, handed over his storage bag, and forcibly placed it in Chen Nan's hand.

"Fellow Daoist, I know you're a good person, this is all I have, if you survive, please take care of my family."

"I have a Dao partner, a daughter, I don't want to die..."

Chen Nan accepted the storage bag and nodded: "Okay, if I can get out, I will definitely visit them for you."

Then he took out a jade bottle of Taiyin, not a small amount, a bottle as big as a palm, and gave it to Wen Jing.

"Strive to live on, your family is waiting for you."

After saying that, Chen Nan walked to the bronze gate, pressed his hands on it, pushed hard, and the heavy gate slowly opened a gap big enough for a person.

After taking one last look at Wen Jing, he directly entered through the door.

Wen Jing stood dumbfounded with the large bottle of Taiyin in his hand, his heart deeply moved, did not come to his senses until Chen Nan left, looking around quickly.

After confirming no one was around, he carefully stored the Taiyin close to him, as it was his hope for survival.
