I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2390 - 1076: Crossing the Netherworld (Part 2)

"Do you have a plan?"

Da Kong True Monarch’s words caused Dustless True Monarch’s eyes to sparkle with sudden hope.

"We slipped in via a rift linking the Yin and Yang Realms, torn open by the Nether Dragon. I’ll attempt the Void Evasion Technique to pinpoint that rift and check if I can detect the teleportation mark I placed back in the Tianhe Realm..."

Da Kong True Monarch explained his strategy, grateful for his status as a God-Transcending expert from Taixu MiaoMiao Palace, where he’d spent his days mastering the Void Mystical Method.

"I’ll employ the Xuanji Instrument of Heaven and Earth to support you."

Spotting a chance to escape, Dustless True Monarch agreed with a nod and triggered the mighty treasure gripped in his palm.

Inside this magical item lay a full Sixth Rank Spirit Vein.

Despite the harsh Netherworld setting, it allowed the pair to replenish their strength.

Bolstered by this, Da Kong True Monarch could ignore his power drain.

The golden and silver rings erupted in a brilliant silver glow like never before, dropping to Da Kong True Monarch’s feet and lifting him to dart through the cavern’s sections, applying the Void Evasion Technique to probe for spatial rifts.

Before long, Da Kong True Monarch picked up a subtle, recognizable energy close to a twisting dragon scale.

"Found it!"

Da Kong True Monarch indicated a dragon scale fused into the stone wall, pale gray with faint shadowy streaks. He pulled out a silvery talisman, drew essence blood from his finger, and carefully ignited it on the talisman’s surface.

This served as the ultimate safeguard for Taixu MiaoMiao Palace’s God-Transcending cultivators. When triggered, it would whisk them straight to the Central State base for aid, no matter where they were.

Yet here in the Netherworld, its reliability remained uncertain.

Da Kong True Monarch set it off, hoping to leverage the talisman’s essence to pry apart the path to the Tianhe Realm.

Should it succeed, he could link up with the teleportation formation he’d set nearby, then apply the Void Evasion Technique to bring Dustless True Monarch along for the return.

"Wait, what if young friend Chen out there got pulled into the Netherworld just like us..."

Right then, a sudden worry struck Dustless True Monarch, prompting him to voice it aloud.

"Er... do you possess his message talisman? Try reaching out to him. Otherwise, we can only pray he escaped the pull..."

Da Kong True Monarch paused briefly before responding.

Dustless True Monarch grasped his implication. Time in the Netherworld grew ever riskier. Clashing with feral ghost deities or the dreaded Nine Ghost Mother’s Sons would spell their doom.

Neither held Chen Mobai’s message talisman. They shared a look and let out heavy sighs.

"Should he really be trapped in the Netherworld, all we can do is hope fortune favors him."

With those words, Da Kong True Monarch promptly triggered the talisman. The divinity transformation expert’s ace proved its worth. The Nether Dragon’s scale, bridging the Yin and Yang Realms, grew see-through. As the talisman’s power flowed in, silver specks began to scatter across its heart.

Once the specks blended together, Da Kong True Monarch deployed the Void Evasion Technique and spotted the gateway—distant in the heavens, yet right before him.

...

Dragon Abyss Cave’s entrance.

Once the Golden Flame Manticore’s aura faded away, Chen Mobai sensed a massive quake. The cavern walls heaved like raging seas, whipped up by some unseen colossal force.

Through the Taiyi Luo Heaven Formation’s command over the area’s spirit veins, it abruptly transformed into a bottomless maw, swallowing all in its path, beyond his detection.

Glancing about, fissures scarred the stone walls everywhere. Without the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo’s support, tons of debris would have crashed down, entombing them deep within.

"It’s collapsing!"

The idea raced through Chen Mobai’s thoughts as he poured his divine sense into the depths, aiming to pull Dustless True Monarch and the rest to safety. But a rush of warped, shadowy void force exploded from inside, weaving with the dragon scale remnants etched into the nearby walls, reshaping the world around them.

In that realization, he seemed encased within a deep blue dragon-like beast, the encircling rock walls’ scales shifting along an ancient route back to the Yang Realm.

He tried breaking free with the Void Evasion Technique, yet within the Nether Dragon, resistance proved useless.

The lone comfort came from this Nether Dragon being a mere phantom, echoes of its presence in the Dragon Abyss Cave from ages past. Still, those echoes had sparked life, fostering the cave’s spirit vein and carving a link between the Yin and Yang Realms.

While Chen Mobai racked his brain for an exit, a deep blue radiance bloomed from the Nether Dragon’s armored scales, radiating a chilling vibe that swallowed him and the whole Dragon Abyss Cave.

Regaining awareness, Chen Mobai realized he remained in the Dragon Abyss Cave, though now atop eerie gray-white ground. The heavens loomed in a somber crimson shade, and the atmosphere reeked of rot and demise.

"Could this be... the Netherworld?"

Shocked, Chen Mobai swiftly extended his divine sense to scan the area.

The Second Primeval Spirit, carried over too, drew back into him.

Amid this realm, the Pure Yang Scroll’s presence stood out starkly.

During the transfer’s chaos, the Second Primeval Spirit had automatically released its strongest essence to counter the Nether Dragon’s transporting might.

Here in this place, the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Purple Extreme Physique hovered amid the blood-red sky, stirring wild chaos in the nearby ghostly chill.

As Chen Mobai withdrew the Second Primeval Spirit, he felt surges of potent dark energies closing in fast.

This spot truly marked the authentic Netherworld, distinct from the Yellow Springs Path that Hun Yuan Patriarch had uncovered in the Eastern Wilderness.
