Chapter 223: Forces of the Yin World

"These human-livestock are actually the human race within the Yin World."

Facing the black-hearted evil force led by Li Heng.

The green ox said it out loud, trembling with fear.

As soon as the words fell, Lie Zhangkong spoke decisively.

"That's impossible!"

"It is impossible for the human race to exist in the Yin World; that is not a place that belongs to the human race! Although it is true that some humans fall into magic and degenerate into Human Demons, allowing them to enter the Yin World, Human Demons are not the human race either; they eat people just the same, and are not eaten by people!"

The green ox was stunned upon hearing this.

"I don't know about that, but when I reached the Dharma Aspect realm, the Hanging Mountain side told me this, and also said that this secret cannot be spoken of casually, or it will invite disaster."

"Why would Hanging Mountain lie to me about whether the matter is true or false?"

After saying these words, he looked at the sky.

He found the sky to be unusually calm, which was unexpected.

"Who couldn't lie to a cow demon like you who has even trained their brain away? You say this is a Heaven and Earth secret that is highly likely to attract a Heaven and Earth warning, but where is the warning?"

"There isn't even a dark cloud in the sky, let alone a Tribulation Cloud."

Lie Dangkong gave a disdainful smile.

At this moment, Li Heng spoke.

"No, what this stupid cow said might be true."

"Nothing is happening right now because we are inside the great web formed by the Earth Vein Power, which shields a portion of the heavenly secrets. Just now, when this stupid cow spoke, I felt a fluctuation faintly appear in the sky, sweeping toward our side, but it was blocked by the Earth Vein Power web."

Everyone was stunned, eyes wide.

What this stupid cow said was true?

But why, that shouldn't be, right?

The Yin World does not have an environment that allows the human race to survive normally, or rather, no ordinary race can survive in the Yin World. If Magic Qi enters the body, one will become a demon; once Yin Qi enters the body, one will die suddenly.

"I told you, it's true."

The green ox said honestly.

"Why are these humans missing one soul and one spirit? Why does the human race exist in the Yin World?" Li Heng continued to ask.

"Why does the human race exist in the Yin World? My lord, you are making things difficult for me; I don't know either. After all, I have always been stationed at the Abyss Sea; where would I have the energy to investigate these things?"

The green ox immediately revealed a bitter expression.

Old cow here can't do it.

"However, I have heard a rumor."

"The reason these human-livestock—ah, no, these humans—are missing one soul and one spirit is because they received a punishment. As for what the punishment is, I don't know."

"A punishment?"

"That's right, a punishment."

Li Heng raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised. The human race exists in the Yin World, and the human race was punished? Interesting. It seems the water here is very deep; I'm afraid it will involve many aspects.

After pondering slightly, he no longer dwelled on this aspect. This stupid cow didn't know much about this, so rather than guessing blindly, it was better to put it aside for now. He could only see if he could obtain more information in the future.

He changed the subject and spoke again.

"What is this spatial vibration about?"

The green ox was surprised upon hearing this.

Could it be that this matter wasn't done by the human race?

"My lord, I don't know about this either. Recently, spatial vibrations have occurred frequently in the Yin World, and many Ghost Domains have been shattered by the tremors. Even Hanging Mountain, which has a great array for protection, has experienced this phenomenon. I'm afraid it's some kind of natural disaster?"

"It really wasn't done by you lot? You really don't know?"

"I really am not privy to this matter; I swear to Heaven." Seeing Li Heng's expression turn unkind again, the green ox hurriedly pledged its loyalty.

Li Heng frowned again.

Problems in the Present World, and the Yin World, which he thought was the source of the disaster, also has problems. He had this suspicion before, and now it has been confirmed by this cow demon...

Could this really be a natural disaster of the two Worlds?

Both Worlds have problems?

If it continues to develop like this.

He would believe anyone who said that Heaven and Earth were about to collapse.

He felt helpless in his heart; it really wasn't a good time to be born. Buddhism once said that the World goes through formation, existence, destruction, and emptiness. Could it be that the Bad Kalpa has arrived, and the World is about to be destroyed?

But this is too abrupt, too fast, isn't it?

It doesn't look like the normal order of life and death for Heaven and Earth at all.

Combined with all kinds of strange changes, as well as the so-called World Truth, Li Heng seriously suspects that Heaven and Earth have long had problems, and what we see now is just a final flash of brilliance, a dying struggle.

This gave him a very bad feeling.

It was as if all future possibilities had been converged, leading only to that one bad result, unable to be changed. No wonder even a Child of Luck, who is called the biological son of Heaven, would have an accident.

Heaven and Earth have problems.

What is the biological son of Heaven worth?

I'm afraid only a Mechanical God, obtaining the power to negate the World from outside the World, could solve this kind of situation.

He shook his head helplessly and cast these distracting thoughts out of his mind.

He still had to ask about some practical things first. He should wait until his strength further improves before considering such matters; otherwise, it would be nothing more than ridiculous worrying about the sky falling.

"What is the Abyss Sea you speak of?"

"Or rather, what forces are there in the Yin World?"

Li Heng had been curious about this question for a long time.

"Oh, you're asking about this, my lord."

Qingfeng felt a sudden sense of relief in his heart; fortunately, these were things he knew, as they were common knowledge.

If he were asked any more bizarre questions and couldn't answer them again, he didn't doubt for a second that this human would slaughter him right there—this human really wanted to eat beef!

"My lord, the factions in the Yin World are neither many nor few. The ones that can truly be called by name are the Hanging Mountain where I reside, Yellow Springs Road, Abyss Sea, and Buying Life Money."

"Hanging Mountain is the base camp for demons and monsters; it is a massive mountain range suspended above the Yin World, and it is said the demon mountain is even alive. As for Yellow Springs Road, they are the faction of those soft, Weird things; they supposedly want to build some kind of Reincarnation, all sorts of messy nonsense. Abyss Sea is the ocean bordering the Abyss, where seafood lives—it's quite delicious. However, there are also some ghostly things that crawl out from the Abyss, which are very difficult to deal with."

When Qingfeng spoke of those ghostly things, his expression was one of revulsion.

"As for Buying Life Money, I hear they are a group of merchants? I don't know much about them."

"My lord, that is all I know. After all, I have always been stationed at the Abyss Sea and do not interact with other factions. If you want to talk about understanding, I only really understand the Abyss Sea."

"But the Abyss Sea, how should I put it?"

Qingfeng scratched his head with his flaming arm, though his head was also emitting flames. "The Abyss Sea is always fighting with our Hanging Mountain and Yellow Springs Road. Rather than calling it a faction, it's more like a pack of mad dogs."

"Oh, and what exactly is this Abyss you speak of?"

Li Heng suddenly became interested.

Qingfeng was stunned upon hearing this.

"The Abyss is just the Abyss."

"Does it not have any other meaning?"

"No, the Abyss is just the Abyss. It is said that no one in the Yin World has ever seen the Abyss; we only know it borders the Abyss Sea. It is said that the water of the Abyss Sea flows directly into the Abyss."

"If you haven't seen it, how can you be sure the Abyss exists?"

"I'm not clear on that." Qingfeng shook his head.

Li Heng appeared somewhat speechless; what a stupid ox.

However, he couldn't be bothered to dwell on it and spoke again.

"How many experts does Hanging Mountain have, how many in the Dharma Aspect Realm, and how many above the Dharma Aspect Realm?" This was the topic he most wanted to know about.

If the number of experts was within his range of handling, he would like to sneak into the Yin World and plant mushrooms on Hanging Mountain. Wouldn't his Source Power skyrocket then? Even if he couldn't blow up those experts, he could at least blow all the small demons to death.

Qingfeng was startled by this; he realized something was wrong.

"My lord, you don't intend to make a move against Hanging Mountain, do you? I advise you not to do so. Without the recognition of Hanging Mountain, the moment you appear on Hanging Mountain, you will die the next instant."

"Just how many experts are there? Stop with the nonsense."

Qingfeng immediately felt the flames inside his body showing a tendency to rise, so he hurriedly spoke. "My lord, actually, I don't know how many experts there are. But those of us in the Dharma Aspect Realm haven't even been able to get close to the center of Hanging Mountain; our territory is just some remote mountain peaks."

"And in the center of Hanging Mountain, there are many main peaks."

"On those main peaks are great demons and monsters far more powerful than us. It's just strange; we haven't seen them for a very long time. The last time we saw them make a move was a hundred years ago."

Li Heng pondered upon hearing this.

It seems the organization of Hanging Mountain is incredibly loose?

Or is it that demons and monsters at the Dharma Aspect Realm aren't even able to reach the core circle of Hanging Mountain and don't count as true insiders?

"It seems you stupid ox really do tell everything you know."

Qingfeng grinned upon hearing this.

"My lord, I've already been roasted like this, so of course I'll say whatever there is to say. But this is also because Hanging Mountain hasn't placed any restrictions on us."

"And why is that?"

Li Heng said calmly.

There were many reasons he could guess.

Either this information wasn't confidential enough and was just common knowledge on the Dalu. Demons and monsters in the Dharma Aspect Realm like Qingfeng couldn't even be considered true members of Hanging Mountain.

Or perhaps...

He saw Qingfeng speak again.

"This is actually because Hanging Mountain doesn't care."

"In the past, a great demon from a main peak declared that Hanging Mountain fears no threats or enemies, and is not afraid of any information or coordinates being leaked; they welcome anyone to come and attack."

Li Heng was thoughtful upon hearing this.

What Qingfeng said was one of the possibilities he had considered: arrogance, conceit, hubris, and having the strength to back it up.

"I have long heard of the name of Hanging Mountain in the Yin World."

At this moment, Lie Dangkong suddenly spoke up.

"Ox demon, I ask you, how many main peaks does Hanging Mountain have?"

Qingfeng frowned upon hearing this, as if recalling.

"I'm not too clear on this, but I heard from a guy that there are at least eighteen main peaks, perhaps even more."

"Because there is a saying that you can only see as many main peaks as your strength allows. If your strength is low, you won't even be able to see a single main peak when you go to the center of Hanging Mountain."

Lie Dangkong was slightly stunned upon hearing this and gasped.

"Are you sure this is true?"

"That guy is considered a good friend of mine, he wouldn't lie to me." Qingfeng answered obediently.

"What's wrong, Senior Lie? Is there a problem with this?"

Li Heng also asked.

Why was he so concerned about the number of main peaks?

Lie Dangkong took a deep breath upon hearing this and spoke in a deep voice.

"If the great demons on these eighteen main peaks were only in the Dharma Aspect Realm, that would be fine, or even at the Daxian Realm Peak, where a single move could kill this stupid ox—that would be acceptable."

"After all, the span of the Dharma Aspect Realm is vast; even a gap of a small realm is a difference as great as heaven and earth."

"But if they are above the Dharma Aspect Realm, then that is Terror."

"Because, this represents at least eighteen Heavenly Humans!"
