Chapter 114: Gathering Information, Mystery of the Forbidden Area

Su Chen went to the famous underground black market of Heiyuan City.

This was a place where all kinds of people mixed in Heiyuan City, and it was also the place with the most well-informed news.

Su Chen found a one-eyed ghost cultivator who was a local snake and threw a few mid-grade Yin stones directly at him.

"Inquiring about something." Su Chen lowered his voice.

The one-eyed ghost cultivator weighed the Yin stones in his hand, and his face was immediately filled with smiles: "Sir, what do you want to know? In this Heiyuan City, there is nothing that I, 'One-Eye,' don't know!"

"Yin-Nether Liquid, have you heard of it?" Su Chen asked.

"Yin-Nether Liquid?" One-Eye's expression suddenly became strange. He looked around vigilantly, then set up a sound-insulating restriction and said: "Sir, why are you asking about this thing? This stuff is extremely evil."

"Less nonsense, say everything you know." Su Chen threw a few more Yin stones over.

Money can make ghosts push millstones; this saying was equally applicable in the Netherworld, and even more apt.

One-Eye took the Yin stones and didn't talk nonsense anymore, hurriedly pouring out everything he knew.

"Sir, this Yin-Nether Liquid is indeed a top-tier treasure in Yinshan. Legend has it that that stuff is the essence of the Yinshan earth veins; let alone us, even those high and mighty ghost king lords are very greedy for it!"

"However, this treasure is not easy to get. It only exists in the Yin-Nether Cave Abyss in the deepest part of Yinshan."

When One-Eye said the four words "Yin-Nether Cave Abyss," his voice carried a trace of fear.

"That place is a ghost place that eats ghosts without spitting out bones! I heard there is a strange power inside; as soon as you go in, the ghost Qi on your body leaks out like a deflated ball, and your strength is greatly reduced!"

"Dozens of years ago, the famous 'White Shadow Ghost King' of our Yinshan, with cultivation at the mid-stage of Heavenly Immortal and tens of thousands of ghost soldiers under his command, was incredibly powerful! At that time, he was just for this Yin-Nether Liquid, and he took his eighteen most elite ghost generals to break into the Yin-Nether Cave Abyss together."

"And the result? Guess what happened?" One-Eye sold a suspense.

"As a result, all eighteen ghost generals died inside, and not even a complete corpse could be found! The White Shadow Ghost King himself fought for his life to escape, but he was also seriously injured, and his ghost body almost dissipated! Not long after he returned, he was taken advantage of by his old rival, the 'Red-Haired Ghost King,' who destroyed his lair, and he himself ended up with his soul scattered!"

One-Eye said with lingering fear: "Since then, no one has dared to easily have designs on the Yin-Nether Cave Abyss. That place has become a forbidden area for our Yinshan; whoever goes there dies!"

Su Chen listened quietly, verifying One-Eye's words with Lu Cheng's words in his heart.

It seemed that Lu Cheng hadn't lied about the danger of the Yin-Nether Cave Abyss.

A ghost king at the mid-stage of Heavenly Immortal leading a team inside all ended up with a miserable outcome, which showed the degree of danger inside.

"Besides these, do you know anything else? For example, what danger is actually inside?" Su Chen continued to pursue.

One-Eye shook his head: "No one knows that. After the White Shadow Ghost King escaped, he didn't say a word about what was inside, and he died not long after. Therefore, what is deep in the Cave Abyss has always been a mystery."

"However..." One-Eye changed the subject and said mysteriously, "I have heard some gossip."

"Let's hear it."

"Some people say that the Yin-Nether Cave Abyss is not a naturally formed place at all, but a battlefield relic from the Primordial Period!" One-Eye spoke endlessly. "Legend has it that a long, long time ago, two unimaginable big shots had a fight in this Yinshan area, fighting until the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, punching a hole through the Netherworld! That Yin-Nether Cave Abyss was smashed out by the weapon of one of those big shots!"

"And that power in the Cave Abyss that can suppress ghost Qi is what that big shot left behind. As for the terrifying existence deep in the Cave Abyss, some people guess that it might be the remnant soul of some big shot who died in battle there, absorbing endless Yin Qi and turning into something even more terrifying!"

Primordial battlefield relic?

Su Chen's heart stirred.

This statement, although it sounded a bit mysterious, was more reliable than some natural forbidden area.

This world was already full of all kinds of ancient secrets.

Many dangerous places and desperate situations, tracing back to the source, were all related to the great wars of the ancient period.

If that place was really a battlefield relic, then it made sense that there was a power inside that could suppress ghost Qi.

It was very likely a power imprint left by some great power that naturally restrained Yin-evil ghost things.

After asking what he wanted to know, Su Chen left the underground black market.

Su Chen walked on the streets of Heiyuan City, his brain quickly analyzing the information he had obtained.

First, Yin-Nether Liquid was indeed a good thing and also something the Netherworld judge needed; Lu Cheng hadn't lied to him on this point.

Second, the Yin-Nether Cave Abyss was extremely dangerous, especially for ghost cultivators.

That power that could suppress ghost Qi was the nemesis of all ghost cultivators.

For him, this was not a bad thing.

His "Su San" identity was not essentially a ghost cultivator.

His power came from the Hunyuan Jin Dan within his body.

Ghost Qi was just a disguise he simulated using the power of the Jin Dan.

Even if the restrictions there could suppress ghost Qi, the impact on his own strength shouldn't be too great.

Other ghost cultivators going in would have less than one-tenth of their strength left.

If he went in, he might be able to maintain seven or eight-tenths of his combat power.

With the rise and fall of others, his advantage was reflected.

"This Yin-Nether Cave Abyss, it seems I can go and take a look." Su Chen made a decision in his heart.

For one, this was the only way to exchange for a reincarnation quota.

For Li Chengqian, he had to make a trip.

For another, he also developed a trace of curiosity about that so-called "Primordial battlefield relic."

The "Thirty-Six Axes of Heavenly Gang" he practiced needed Sha Qi to temper his physical body.

The ancient battlefield might have the Sha Qi he could practice with.

For him, this might even be a treasure land for cultivation.

Having figured all this out, Su Chen didn't hesitate anymore.

He identified the direction on the map Lu Cheng gave him, left Heiyuan City, drove the Yin wind, and headed toward the depths of the Yinshan Mountain Range.

Leaving the bustling Heiyuan City, Su Chen stepped onto the barren land of the Yinshan Mountain Range again.

Unlike the last time when he followed behind the caravan, this time, his goal was clear, and his speed was much faster.

The map Lu Cheng gave was quite detailed, not only marking the location of the Yin-Nether Cave Abyss but also noting the territories of some powerful ghost kings along the way and some dangerous places that needed attention.

Su Chen followed the guidance of the map and avoided the places where those big forces were entrenched.

He didn't want to cause extra trouble now.

However, in this place of the Yinshan Mountain Range, if you don't look for trouble, trouble will look for you.

Even though he had deliberately avoided the territories of those ghost kings, trouble still took the initiative to come to his door. ===== CHAPTER 115 =====
