Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Using the body as the ferry.

Using the soul as the boat.

Sailing upstream against the Yin-Yang River.

Penetrating the apertures of the Nine Nethers.

Finally reaching the profound gate's wondrous realm of neither Yin nor Yang, both dead and alive—this is the Nine Turns Through the Nether.

Xu Zhangqing stared wide-eyed, saying in disbelief: "This... is actually a cultivation method!"

Any cultivation method, as long as it contains characters like "Art," "Sutra," or "Chapter," is without exception heaven-defying.

For example, one of Ruo Qunshuang's dowries, the Covering Sea Tide Rising Art.

Or the Return to Origin Art cultivated by Xu Zhangqing.

And the Suppressing Earth Sutra in the Si Geng Token, one of the Five Sutras.

Since this thing could be placed together with the Xuan Yuan Golden Light Talisman, and was even installed in the center of River Heart Island at the deepest part of the Yin River, even having three dried corpses with Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivation guarding it, one can imagine how precious it is.

The female earth spirit showed a solemn expression: "This cultivation method is too strange...

'Using the soul as the boat'

'Sailing upstream against the Yin-Yang River,'

it simply does not conform to conventional cultivation logic.

The Yin River itself is the source of Yin evil, and the apertures of the Nine Nethers are even unheard of.

Cultivating in such a reverse manner will likely invite evil into the body; one careless moment and the soul will scatter."

Zhu Rong likewise had a complex expression: "Although it carries an evil nature, it secretly contains the wonder of the Great Dao.

This Nine Turns Through the Nether Art is absolutely a top-tier Heaven-rank cultivation method.

However, the profound gate's wondrous realm of 'both dead and alive' sounds dangerous; fearing that one wrong step will lead to ten thousand calamities without recovery."

Xu Zhangqing listened to the two's words and couldn't help but frown.

He himself had a Wood Spiritual Root, currently focusing on vitality.

While this cultivation method, throughout, never leaves "Yin River," "Nine Nethers," "sailing upstream against Yin-Yang," full of sinister and strange meanings.

With the current situation, he probably would be unable to control it.

If choosing to forcibly cultivate.

Either the cultivation method cannot operate.

Or vitality is eroded by Yin evil.

It can be said the loss outweighs the gain, therefore there is no need to take the risk.

What made Xu Zhangqing even more uneasy was that the description of this cultivation method was too evil.

Most cultivation methods are based on the Five Elements, then contact Law Power, emphasizing "step by step, Yin-Yang harmonization."

While the Nine Turns Through the Nether Art does the opposite, even pursuing the realm of "both dead and alive."

"This cultivation method absolutely cannot be tried lightly!"

"After a Thunder Spiritual Root is born, then try cultivating the Nine Turns Through the Nether Art!"

"As long as the main body knows, we'd better investigate in private!"

Seeing Xu Zhangqing so willful, the female earth spirit and Zhu Rong were not surprised.

The female earth spirit said thoughtfully: "Coincidentally, my side is about to hold an array meeting again; at that time I'll find a few older Array Masters to ask."

Zhu Rong followed closely: "If so, then I'm returning to the Wan Family now.

After a Thunder Spiritual Root is born, we'll explore the Yin River's True Yin Fire again!"

Xu Zhangqing nodded: "Alright, you two be careful."

Soon, two figures left one after another.

Inside the Personal Space, only Xu Zhangqing and Xu Zixiao remained.

The Spiritual Energy inside the space was rich, and there was also a Wood Spiritual Root nourishing vitality.

Therefore, Xu Zixiao's Ling Zhi Zhi Shu recovery speed far exceeded expectations.

After just one hour, the dense cracks on his body surface began to contract, the leaking Spiritual Light gradually converged, and the broken parts began to reorganize at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The originally dim Spirit Patterns gradually brightened with a faint light.

Xu Zhangqing sat to the side, organizing the obscure phrases of the Nine Turns Through the Nether Art on one hand, and injecting mana to help him accelerate healing on the other.

Ten thousand li away, Nine Mountains Nine Curves Secret Realm.

Nine peaks rose from the ground like pillars holding up the sky.

Between the peaks, mist swirled, with faint dragon-shaped air currents coiling and ascending to the sky.

Nine great rivers coiled like spirit snakes, with vortices surging in the river water.

Especially beneath the riverbed, mysterious Spiritual Light occasionally flashed and vanished.

The outer perimeter of the Secret Realm was not an ordinary mountain forest, but Ancient Ruins stretching for thousands of li.

Everywhere were broken walls and ruins, with mottled stone walls carved full of blurry Ancient Runes and Totems.

Some were three-legged Golden Crows.

Some were beasts of Xuan Water.

Though weathered by ten thousand years of wind and frost, they still exuded a majestic aura that suppressed heaven and earth.

The Nine Mountains Nine Curves Secret Realm opens once every thousand years.

In the entire Tianyuan Realm, it is one of the top secret realms.

Rumor has it that an ancient immortal's abode lies hidden within, and in the outer perimeter's ancient ruins, ancient pills, fragments of magic treasures, and even incomplete cultivation methods and spells have indeed emerged.

"Truly worthy of a secret realm that opens once every thousand years—such a spectacle is truly magnificent!"

"If the outer perimeter ruins are like this, the Core Area must be even more extraordinary!"

"This place is not safe; we must proceed with caution!"

As time passed, flying ships, flying boats, and various other flying magic tools appeared one after another.

These were all Nascent Soul cultivators participating in the Nine Mountains Nine Curves Secret Realm.

Speaking of the most eye-catching individuals, it was still the Three Great Immortal Sects.

Dongting's team leader was Yin-Yang Venerable Li Wudao, and Qingmu Peak's Peak Master was Mu Ji.

Longhu's were Vice Sect Master Zhao Tianxiong and Enforcement Elder Longquan.

Yao Yue had only one person leading the team, yet no one dared to underestimate them.

For no other reason than that this person was a representative figure of the Burning Moon Faction, the Immortal Maiden of Extinction.

Those who sever emotions and desires are never easy to provoke, and this person was no exception.

Back then, a certain sect offended her, and as a result, they were blocked at their gate and slaughtered for three days and three nights.

Longhu's participants in this secret realm were Lei Yuan and Zhao Shanhe.

Dongting's participants in this secret realm were Zhao Lie and Ling Xiao.

Yao Yue's participants in this secret realm were Hua Nian Tang and another female Nascent Soul cultivator.

Of course, apart from the Three Great Immortal Sects, there were also many famous individuals.

Soon, the Three Great Immortal Sects were the first to gather together.

Lei Yuan stepped on a thunder-patterned green flood dragon, his expression stern, with an air of "strangers keep away."

Zhao Shanhe stood nine chi tall, with a tiger's back and bear's waist; though wearing a Daoist robe, his terrifying flesh body could not be concealed.

Suddenly, Lei Yuan spoke: "Zhao Lie, it seems you're thriving in Dongting~"

Zhao Lie said expressionlessly: "A tree moved dies; a person moved lives."

Lei Yuan smiled without smiling: "Once you enter the secret realm, it's best not to run into me."

Zhao Shanhe nodded in agreement: "This time, I won't go easy on you."

At this moment, a breeze blew by, carrying a refreshing floral fragrance.

The people of Yao Yue Immortal Sect arrived stepping on clouds at this moment.

The leader wore a moon-white Daoist robe, with a face like peach and plum, and a hint of coldness at his brow; it was none other than Hua Nian Tang, who cross-dressed as a woman, and at this moment he teased: "Your two sects are truly interesting, always at each other's throats."

"Yet in private, you remain inextricably linked."

Beside him stood a female cultivator wearing a blue Daoist robe.

Her features were pure, her eyebrows and eyes gentle.

She held a jade xiao, its body engraved with lotus patterns.

Her entire temperament was like a clear spring under the moon.

Her name was Yun Shu; because she excelled at music, her epithet was Jade Xiao Immortal Maiden.

Outside the Three Great Immortal Sects, members of other sects gathered on the other side.

These people were all Nascent Soul cultivators, already outstanding in the outside world.

But compared to the Three Great Immortal Sects, they paled one by one.

As for the Spirit Transformation Venerables leading the way, there were very few at present.

Suddenly, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth abruptly became violent.

At the peaks of the nine mountains, golden glows lit up simultaneously.

The glows gathered into a sky-piercing pillar of light, stabbing straight into the clouds.

The water of the nine great rivers at this moment flowed backward, transforming into nine water dragons that circled and roared around the pillar of light.

In the outer perimeter ruins, those mottled spiritual runes and totems all lit up in succession, emitting an ancient and obscure aura.

Boom—

With a deafening roar echoing through heaven and earth, the void at the center of the nine mountains suddenly tore open a huge rift, within which pavilions, terraces, towers, immortal mountains, and jade palaces were faintly visible.

Suddenly, someone shouted: "The secret realm is open!"
