The entire cliff area was shrouded in darkness at this mont. The darkness was thick, like ink, churning ceaselessly. The extre yin and biting cold it emitted far surpassed any place before.
Even the Five Directions Luo Feng Flag could barely hold on.
The cold penetrated the bones. Not only did everyone feel an icy chill piercing their bodies, but it also seed as if their very divine souls were being frozen and torn apart by this cold, leaving their consciousness blurry.
Daoist Shoumingzi's face was solemn, his voice trembling:
"Is this... the Netherworld Passage?"
In his eyes, there was fear, but also anticipation.
After guarding Taishan for many years, the very thing he recited daily now appeared before him.
Everyone grit their teeth to persevere, their breath instantly turning to white frost.
Just outside this almost despairing darkness, there were two seated figures.
They were the remaining two Earth Immortals, Shi Xuanming and Zheng Boyin!
However, the state of these two at this mont was utterly terrifying.
Their physical bodies were seated on the ground, no longer resembling living people.
Their skin was covered with alarming dark green corpse spots, and their muscles were decaying and withering at a visible speed, exuding an indescribable putrid stench, their vitality rapidly fading away.
"Abandoning their flesh to enter the Netherworld?!"
Daoist Shoumingzi's pupils shrank abruptly, exclaiming, "They... dare to do this?!"
Speaking of this, he suddenly rembered sothing, exclaiming in shock, "I understand now! They must have discarded their flesh, with their yin souls patrolling into the Netherworld Passage, no wonder…"
Li Yan frowned, "Daoist, do you know what's inside?"
"Perhaps, it's the 'Taishan Lord's Divine Palace'..."
Shoumingzi looked bitter, "I couldn't understand before how these two dared to conspire for the Lord's position."
"In the Taishan Daoist Scripture, it's said the 'Taishan Lord's Divine Palace' guards the Netherworld, and now the Lord's position is vacant. If they find sothing..."
"The Taishan Lord's Divine Palace?!"
A flash of insight struck Li Yan's mind.
He recalled the words from the Yin Bureau task.
Judge Cui said, unless he could enter the Netherworld Passage, he could only assist him as a living Yin ssenger without violating the Heavenly Rules.
Could it be…
Is there so opportunity inside?
Not only that, if these two fully enter the Netherworld and find the Divine Palace, there could indeed be a chance, and seizing the Lord's position would be a huge disturbance.
"Daoist, please guard my body!"
Thinking of this, Li Yan looked at Wang Daoxuan without hesitation.
Wang Daoxuan instantly understood, "Rest assured! We will guard your body."
With that, they began arranging the magic platform with the others.
This thod was used when they entered the "Nine Gates Yin Ruins" in the Capital.
The difference now was that their speed was much faster.
Wu Ba took down a large bamboo backpack from his back, gripping the thick bamboo poles on the sides, pulling them outward, turning the bamboo backpack into a bamboo square table with various magic artifacts systematically arranged in pouches.
This was a simple magic platform made by Kuai Dayou for Wang Daoxuan.
It was precisely because of this object that Li Yan and the others were impressed.
Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Daoxuan imdiately set up the magic platform, inserting the Five Directions Luo Feng Flag around it, tying Li Yan's left pinky with a red rope and coin strings.
Just like before, the Yin Talisman was used to open the orifice, guiding the way with the Soul Summoning Incense.
"The Nine Netherworld opens, the soul exits the mysterious gate... Decree!"
As Wang Daoxuan recited the magic spell, Li Yan felt his consciousness suddenly leap.
After the yin soul left the body, the scenery before him changed.
Outside the Hanging Coffin Cliff ahead, a massive vortex of black mist and white brilliance, a hundred feet wide, stood upright before him, rotating slowly.
Seemingly drawn in, Li Yan's yin soul drifted irresistibly toward the vortex…
