Refining the Qin Guang Seal.

Gu Qingfeng calmed his mind to study this Supreme Treasure.

Although after refining this Supreme Treasure, he had already gained some of its functionalities.

Yet vaguely.

Gu Qingfeng could understand.

He had not yet truly grasped the existence of the Qin Guang Seal.

In the time that followed.

Gu Qingfeng did not engage in cultivation but instead focused all his attention on the Immortal Artifact in his hand.

While cultivation is important,

mastering this Immortal Artifact is even more crucial.

After all,

what is cultivation for?

It's merely for the enhancement of strength.

But how could the slight improvement in cultivation compare to the boost brought by an Immortal Artifact?

Just like the Chaos Holy Master, if one purely spoke of strength, it would be impossible for him to be a match for Gu Qingfeng and the Taiyi Saint Master among others.

Yet with that half-step Immortal Artifact, the Chaos Holy Master's strength was forcibly elevated to an astonishing level.

With just his own strength, he could contend with four others without suffering any setbacks.

Moreover, during his downfall, the Chaos Holy Master managed to perish together with the Divine Mountain Saint Master, not to mention heavily injuring the other three.

Achieving this,

was merely due to a half-step Immortal Artifact.

Such a treasure, not yet truly an Immortal Artifact, already possessed such a great power. If it were a genuine Immortal Artifact, it would only be more terrifying.

For Gu Qingfeng,

if the Qin Guang Seal were to self-destruct, he suspected it might even have the chance to cause a true Immortal to bleed.

Of course—

If he really did this, there would be no good outcome for him.

After all, the explosion of an Immortal Artifact—whether or not the Immortal Great Heavenly Venerate would die, Gu Qingfeng was unclear, but he himself would be doomed for sure.

The power of a treasure of this level exploding is entirely an indiscriminate attack, and even if he wanted to escape, he simply wouldn't be fast enough.

Therefore,

the self-destruction of the Qin Guang Seal,

is merely a last resort for perishing together with an enemy.

Unless he has truly reached a dead end, Gu Qingfeng would not use it.

...

As time passed.

Gu Qingfeng's Divine Thought fell into the black Immortal Seal, silently comprehending the profound Dao Rhythm within.

He didn't know how much time had passed when he suddenly sensed an extremely profound aura from the Qin Guang Seal.

At that instant,

Gu Qingfeng, almost instinctively, infused his own power into the Qin Guang Seal.

"Boom!"

A terrifying aura erupted from the black Immortal Seal, black ghostly light bursting forth, falling upon the void above the Immortal Palace.

Only to see the void tremble and distort as a black vortex appeared out of nowhere.

"This is—"

Gu Qingfeng looked at the black vortex, feeling a strong, instinctual sense of threat, as if behind this black vortex lay some kind of irresistible peril.

However,

besides danger,

there was also an indescribable sense of familiarity.

As if something, unbeknownst to him, was attracting him.

After a moment,

Gu Qingfeng seemed to recall something, a look of uncertainty and surprise appearing on his face.

"Could it be that behind this black vortex lies the Netherworld!?"

This thought had just emerged and could no longer be suppressed.

The Netherworld!

Gu Qingfeng took a deep breath, using his Divine Thought to sense bit by bit. The familiar feeling became ever more apparent, allowing him to nearly confirm with certainty that the space connected behind this black vortex was the legendary Netherworld.

After all—

Not long ago, Gu Qingfeng had entered the Netherworld with his Divine Thought, naturally aware of the latter's existence.

It's just that,

there's a distinction between entering with Divine Thought and with the real body.

Looking at the black vortex before him, Gu Qingfeng took a deep breath, ultimately deciding against entering.

As the power he infused into the Qin Guang Seal faded, the black vortex also dissipated.

Not until this moment,

did Gu Qingfeng understand another function of the Qin Guang Seal, which is to commune with the Netherworld.

No matter where he might be, he could open the entrance to the Netherworld using the Qin Guang Seal, then enter the Underworld.

Normally speaking,

this kind of method would secure an Innate position of invincibility.

Whenever faced with an adversary he couldn't defeat, he could simply escape into the Netherworld to evade.

The space of the Netherworld doesn't exist within the Endless Immortal Domain; even top-tier experts, trying to break through the barrier to forcibly enter the Netherworld, presumably wouldn't find it easy.

It's known that,

at its peak, the Netherworld's power was unfathomable.

The Ten Halls Yama,

all were suspected to be of Immortal level.

It's just a pity that now, this method doesn't have much effect.

"With the fall of the Ten Halls Yama, the Netherworld has long undergone strange transformations. At this time, truly entering the Netherworld, rather than finding a silver lining, is more like courting death!"

Gu Qingfeng thought of some things he had witnessed in the Netherworld, shaking his head to himself.

The horrors of the Netherworld,

are not something he can touch at present.

The dangers inside are unpredictable.

In its heyday, how prosperous the Netherworld was, Gu Qingfeng is unclear, but now there's a force that can shatter the entire Netherworld, cause all the powerful ones to fall, which is enough to demonstrate the latter's complexity.

In a domain like the Immortal Domain, if too many cultivators fall, the residual thoughts of those cultivators gathering together could lead to mutations.

Not to mention.

In the vast Netherworld,

it's inherently a place where departed souls converge.

Thus.

The collapse of the Netherworld, the strange and perilous dangers it manifests, need not be over-explained.

Afterward,

Gu Qingfeng's gaze fell once again upon the Qin Guang Seal. This black Seal imbued with immense Dao Rhythm power, upon his thought, merged into his palm.
