Netherworld practitioners mostly have bodies shaped by soul power.

Though on the surface, these bodies seem no different from real, physical ones.

However, those with advanced cultivation can easily discern the difference.

Thus, for an immortal to enter the Netherworld, it is almost impossible.

But if they can’t tell whether he is a soul body or physical entity, wouldn’t that be enough?

"Master, do you have any cultivation methods of the Netherworld?" Xu Nian asked.

"You wish to enter the Netherworld? I have a cultivation technique suitable for you. This technique can temporarily condense your soul into a physical form, though it can only exert half of your combat strength." The voice of Emperor Ye Tian echoed.

Half is sufficient!

Xu Nian immediately asked his master Emperor Ye Tian for this cultivation technique without hesitation.

Then he began cultivating.

With Xu Nian’s current level of soul cultivation, condensing a soul body at the Immortal Emperor level is not a difficult task at all.

Soon, a soul body appeared in front of him.

This soul body doesn’t require a complete division of his soul.

He only needs to plant his soul origin mark within this soul body to fully control it.

"Buzz!"

Xu Nian’s soul origin entered and took control of this soul body.

The soul body slowly opened its eyes.

"This soul body is indeed weak compared to my original body, the difference is significant, but the advantage of this soul body is its ability to freely change shape," Xu Nian murmured to himself.

Currently, his strength is only half of his original self.

Furthermore, without the support of the Supreme Dragon Robe, his strength should be comparable to an ordinary late-stage Immortal Emperor expert.

"This soul cultivation method has an advantage: you can use this soul body to cultivate, and the cultivation achievements of this soul body will in the future nourish your soul origin," the words of Emperor Ye Tian echoed in Xu Nian’s mind.

Xu Nian nodded upon hearing this.

In this way, using the soul body for cultivation is not a waste of time.

"Let’s go!"

Xu Nian immediately headed towards the entrance of the Gate of Netherworld.

"Buzz!"

Soon, Xu Nian passed directly through the Gate of Netherworld.

What appeared before him was a scene of ruin.

And in front of him, ten Nether Emperors were inspecting.

These Nether Emperor experts sat cross-legged at the entrance of the Gate of Netherworld. Without exception, all ten were at the Nether Emperor Perfection level.

"Buzz!"

As Xu Nian entered the Netherworld, he felt ten powerful soul forces sweep over him.

Evidently, these ten Nether Emperor experts were probing him.

Yet this wasn’t what truly surprised Xu Nian; what truly shocked him was the laws of heaven and earth.

It seemed as if entering the Netherworld removed the shackles of heaven and earth that had originally bound him.

"It seems the rumors are true. The Netherworld lacks the shackles of heaven and earth. Here, one can comprehend laws as well as Taoist skills, and even better insight realms." Xu Nian murmured to himself.

While the Netherworld may not hold the status of the Divine World, its restriction on laws is the same as the Divine World.

Due to the nature of Netherworld practitioners, they can only cultivate to the Daluo God Realm.

Further advancement is impossible.

"I wonder if I will encounter Divine-level, God-level, or even Daluo God-level experts here." Xu Nian murmured to himself.

He must be cautious about his journey in the Netherworld.

"Who are you?" Just then, a Nether Emperor from the Netherworld looked at Xu Nian and asked.

"My name is Xu Fenn, a loose cultivator of the Netherworld," Xu Nian replied. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"A loose cultivator?" The Nether Emperor of the Netherworld looked at Xu Nian in surprise.

The other nine Nether Emperors also scrutinized Xu Nian with serious eyes.

Xu Nian frowned.

Is something wrong?

Or is there no such thing as a loose cultivator in the Netherworld?

"A loose cultivator at the Nether Emperor level? It’s my first time seeing this. You must be from Wushen Mountain; it’s the only place with loose cultivators at the Nether Emperor level," the Nether Emperor continued.

"Yes, I am from Wushen Mountain," Xu Nian replied after thinking for a moment and nodded.

He didn’t know what Wushen Mountain was.

But right now, he had no other choice.

He had to admit it; otherwise, he’d be exposed.

"I’ve heard there’s a new entrance at Wushen Mountain recently. Which way did you come in?" The Nether Emperor continued to ask.

"Yes, I entered from there," Xu Nian answered.

"Hmph, though the realm master ordered not to kill people from Wushen Mountain, don’t forget that the Netherworld Master’s Land is not a place you can come and go as you please," one Nether Emperor snorted.

Xu Nian frowned.

He vaguely picked up on something.

There seemed to be a conflict between the Netherworld Lord and Wushen Mountain.

"Alright, since the Lord of the Netherworld ordered not to act against people from Wushen Mountain, you may leave. However, you’d better leave the realm master’s land soon," the leading Nether Emperor expert said.

Although the other Nether Emperors were reluctant, they didn’t stop him.

Xu Nian naturally did not linger.

He immediately chose to leave.

Faced with ten Nether Emperors, he would have to use his true self to kill them.

However, once he used his true self, he would highly likely be exposed.

So if he avoids confrontation, Xu Nian is naturally very pleased.

Soon, Xu Nian flew directly away from the ruins, landing on an uninhabited mountain peak.

The earlier incident made Xu Nian realize a severe problem.

His understanding of the Netherworld was almost nonexistent.

Such ignorance could very likely lead to his exposure.

Originally, he thought the Netherworld was entirely under the Netherworld Lord’s control, but surprisingly, there was this so-called Wushen Mountain.

"It seems I must quickly learn about the Netherworld’s intelligence. In addition, where is Sister Tantai? Has she already entered the Netherworld? Also, his master, Bai Tianhan, he’s in the Netherworld too. I wonder if there’s a chance to see him," Xu Nian murmured to himself.

Previously, Bai Tianhan had told Xu Nian.

He broke through the void and entered the Netherworld.

He should still be in the Netherworld now.

However, the Netherworld’s territory is larger than the Immortal Realm, the Demon Realm, and the Magic Realm combined.

In such a vast territory, finding someone is extremely difficult.

"It seems I’ll have to try my luck," Xu Nian murmured to himself.

Then he chose a direction and flew towards it.

Soon, he arrived at a city.

"Heavenly Thunder City?"

Xu Nian looked at the plaque of Heavenly Thunder City and felt a bit surprised.

Unexpectedly, there is a city with this name.

It wouldn’t be surprising to see such a name in the other Three Realms.

But in the Netherworld, aren’t they most afraid of Heavenly Thunder?

Thus, Xu Nian walked towards the inside of the city.

"Halt! One hundred Joss Paper for entry," a gatekeeping officer looked at Xu Nian and shouted.

This officer’s cultivation level was only at the Heavenly Immortal level.

The majority of people entering and leaving hadn’t reached the Heavenly Immortal Realm, still at the cultivation level.

This surprised Xu Nian.

He didn’t expect there to be so many cultivators in the Netherworld.
