2669 Nine Springs Hell Sutra

Consort Yu’s words resolved many questions in the heart of the Martial Dao Prime Body and unveiled a corner of the mysterious veil of the Hell World at the same time.

The so-called transformation was not them being born out of thin air.

Instead, it was a lifeform evolved from the souls of all living beings that entered the Hell World after they died and borrowed the power of the Nine Springs of Hell.

Although the Ancient Nether race in the Hell World could not reproduce, as long as living beings died and entered the Netherworld and Hell, there would be an endless stream of Ancient Nether race beings born!

The Martial Dao Prime Body pondered for a moment and asked, “Since the souls of the Netherworld can pass through the Six Paths and enter the Hell World, can the living beings of the Hell World head to the Netherworld?”

“No.”

Consort Yu shook her head. “Up till now, I’ve never heard of a path that can connect to the other worlds from the Hell World.”

“The Netherworld and Hell World are two independent worlds. To be precise, the minor chiliocosms, medium chiliocosms, Netherworld and Six Paths are independent. However, there’s a certain connection between them.”

The Martial Dao Prime Body nodded to himself.

When living beings of minor chiliocosms cultivated to a certain realm, they could ascend to a medium chiliocosm of a higher level.

As for the living beings of the minor and medium chiliocosms, after they died, their souls could enter the Netherworld.

In the Netherworld, souls could enter the Hell World or the other five paths through the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

The Martial Dao Prime Body asked, “If living beings in the minor and medium chiliocosms die and their souls enter the Netherworld, they will enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Can we follow this lead and find the whereabouts of these souls?”

The reason why the Martial Dao Prime Body asked that was because he thought of his eldest brother, Su Hong, and Ji Yaoxue.

“That’s impossible.”

Consort Yu shook her head. “Think about it. There are billions of minor chiliocosms and 3,000 medium chiliocosms. There are countless living beings and countless souls returning to the Netherworld at every moment. How can we find them?”

“Furthermore, after these souls were baptized by the Yellow Springs and lost their memories, they were completely cut off from their previous lives. If they experienced a few more reincarnations, it would be even more impossible to investigate.”

The Martial Dao Prime Body was silent.

He knew in his heart that Consort Yu was right.

At every moment, countless souls would enter the Netherworld.

Su Hong had already died for many years. His soul must have long entered the Six Paths after arriving at the Netherworld and achieved reincarnation with his current whereabouts unknown.

As for Ji Yaoxue, up till now, the Martial Dao Prime Body did not know what had happened to her.

Ji Yaoxue had once passed away in his arms.

However, in the end, Ji Yaoxue’s corpse vanished into thin air in the coffin!

The Martial Dao Prime Body had once thought that he might be able to find some clues in the Netherworld.

From the looks of it, even if he could enter the Netherworld, he would probably not be able to find anything.

“How did you come to the Hell World?”

Consort Yu had a puzzled expression and asked, “From the looks of it, you don’t look like you were born from the Nine Springs of Hell.”

“I was pushed down an abyss in a secret ground and arrived here.”

The Martial Dao Prime Body described the entire process briefly.

At the mention of that, he was still puzzled.

Who was the old monk guarding the tomb?

What did he have to do with the Hell World?

What was the old monk’s motive for pushing him down?

Consort Yu was confused about that as well—it was clear that she had never heard of the old monk guarding the tomb or Avici.

“Your cultivation isn’t slow.”

The spirit consciousness of the Martial Dao Prime Body swept past Consort Yu and he changed the topic.

Consort Yu’s cultivation was equivalent to a Heaven Immortal of the Heavenly World and was similar to the other old friends of Tianhuang Mainland.

Consort Yu smiled. “I transformed in the Hell Frost Springs and gained the bloodline of the Ancient Nether race as well as the cultivation technique of it.”

In the dark and sinister Hell World, Consort Yu was much happier now that she was with an old friend from Tianhuang Mainland. Unknowingly, a smile appeared on her face.

“In addition, the Ancient Nether race can cultivate a Taboo Mystic Classic, the Nine Springs Hell Sutra.” Consort Yu added.

“Taboo Mystic Classic?”

The expression of the Martial Dao Prime Body changed.

Only cultivation techniques cultivated, created, perfected and passed down by Great Emperors could be called Taboo Mystic Classic.

How could a Taboo Mystic Classic be cultivated casually by Ancient Nether race beings?

When Consort Yu saw the strange expression on the Martial Dao Prime Body’s face, she said, “To be precise, it’s only one section of the Nine Springs Hell Sutra, the Frost Springs Section.”

“Although it’s only a single section and is not at the level of a Taboo Mystic Classic, it can still be considered the best cultivation technique.”

The Martial Dao Prime Body asked, “In that case, the Nine Springs Hell Sutra should have nine sections corresponding to the Nine Springs of Hell?”

Consort Yu nodded. “Every section is beside their respective Hell’s spring water. The Ancient Nether race of Frost Springs Hell can only cultivate the Frost Springs Section. If they cultivate the other sections at the same time, there will be a huge problem.”

“At best, their cultivation will dissipate. At worst, they might even die!”

“I heard that before the Dharma Ending Era, apart from the Lord of Hell, there were also some living beings of Hell who could cultivate many sections.”

“However, ever since the Lord of Hell died, no one has been able to cultivate multiple sections.”

The Martial Dao Prime Body asked, “Why?”

Consort Yu replied, “It’s said that apart from the nine sections, there’s also the most important general section that combines and condenses the nine sections. Only by mastering this general section can one cultivate the complete Taboo Mystic Classic!”

“This general section was engraved on an ancient mirror that the Lord of Hell carried with him. Ever since he died, the ancient mirror was lost as well.”

“As time passed, this general section was gradually lost.”

When he heard that, the Martial Dao Prime Body’s heart skipped a beat.

He took out the Netherworld Treasure Mirror and handed it to Consort Yu.

“This is…”

Consort Yu probed.

The Martial Dao Prime Body said, “An ancient mirror I picked up in Avici. It’s rather evil and might be the ancient mirror of the Lord of Hell back then!”

“However, the general section you mentioned is not on this ancient mirror.”

The Martial Dao Prime Body turned the ancient mirror to the back. “There are only three words on the back of the ancient mirror—Netherworld Treasure Mirror. Nothing else apart from that.”

Just as the Martial Dao Prime Body flipped the Netherworld Treasure Mirror around, his palm brushed past the edge of the ancient mirror and he felt a pain in his palm—it was bleeding!

“Hmm?”

The gaze of the Martial Dao Prime Body froze!

How strong was his physique?!

When the True Martial Dao Body was cultivated to perfection, even ordinary Grotto-heaven Spirit Treasures could not injure him at all!

Right now, the edge of the ancient mirror had inadvertently injured his palm!

That was not all!

Just as the Martial Dao Prime Body was about to place the ancient mirror aside to check on the wound, a powerful devouring power burst forth from the edge of the ancient mirror.

The Netherworld Treasure Mirror seemed to have transformed into a bloodthirsty weapon as it gulped down the bloodline of the Martial Dao Prime Body along the wound like it was thirsty!

“Hmph!”

The eyes of the Martial Dao Prime Body flashed coldly and he flung it, wanting to throw the Netherworld Treasure Mirror down.

However, it was as though the Netherworld Treasure Mirror had already grown in his wound. The edge of the ancient mirror was embedded into the wound and even went deeper!

The Martial Dao Prime Body could clearly sense that his bloodline was being plundered crazily by the Netherworld Treasure Mirror at an astonishing speed!

If he could not stop this process, he would probably be sucked into a dried corpse in a dozen breaths!
