The pain felt like strong acid splashing down, instantly searing every inch of skin, or like countless ice blades scraping between her bone joints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The excruciating pain caused her body to spasm violently out of control, while even her soul trembled incessantly from that extreme cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the waterfall's flow had become wild and chaotic due to the earlier impact, making the Netherworld Deer's steps as it climbed against the current increasingly unsteady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn't you say beings of the Nine Netherworlds wouldn't attack you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems some records in the Nine Netherworlds books cannot be entirely trusted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the Netherworld Deer tilted its head to glance at Hua Changxi, its eyes clearly writing: They aren't attacking me; they are attacking you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi: \"......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoosh~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the lingering force of the Ghost King's strike dissipated, the Nether River waterfall, which had begun to calm, returned to stability. Who could have expected this peace to last only a moment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the Netherworld Deer could carry Hua Changxi much further upward, the torrent beneath its hooves suddenly erupted again without warning, as if an invisible giant dragon had turned over in the depths, churning up countless waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi was greatly alarmed: \"What is happening?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, images of the various factions fighting over that azure light orb flashed through her mind, among them figures of the Nether River Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There must be an expert from the Nether River Clan manipulating the water currents!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another wave of violent Nether River water slammed toward them, its bone-chilling cold nearly freezing a person solid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi paid no heed to being soaked through; her heart filled with anxiety as she looked down at the Netherworld Deer beneath her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the deer's pace showed obvious signs of sluggishness; its four hooves struggled to find purchase in the raging counter-current, each leg lift and step upward appearing laborious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You must hold on; we absolutely cannot fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To 'cheer on' the Netherworld Deer, Hua Changxi hastily promised: \"Once we reach the first realm of the Nine Netherworlds, I'll give you another ton of Soul River water!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the Netherworld Deer remained unenthusiastic, seemingly unmotivated, its steps still stumbling and labored with no improvement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Hua Changxi grew frantic with worry; she quickly took stock of her resources and rapidly rattled off a string of names of rare soul plants, attempting to motivate the deer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alas, the Netherworld Deer still showed no reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was, until she mentioned the \"Nine-Aperture Exquisite Soul Heart Fruit\"...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if injected with a stimulant, the Netherworld Deer's eyes suddenly brightened; its previously stumbling gait instantly stabilized, and its speed increased significantly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi: \"......\" This must be a scheming deer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Netherworld Deer recovering its vigor, it wasn't long before one human and one deer arrived at the Nether River's Zhongyuankou in the first realm of the Nine Netherworlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When her feet finally touched the solid ground of the first realm of the Nine Netherworlds, the heart that had been hanging in Hua Changxi's throat finally dropped back into her stomach with a \"thump.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching with pain in her heart as the Netherworld Deer swallowed a Nine-Aperture Exquisite Soul Heart Fruit in one gulp, she prepared to part ways with the deer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This deer was too conspicuous; traveling deep into the Nine Netherworlds, she needed to keep a lower profile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when she raised her head to survey her surroundings, she was completely dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As far as the eye could see lay an ancient, unchanging gloom and desolation; apart from a Nether River stretching to an endless horizon, she could not distinguish east, west, south, or north.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you still want to hear the Soul Ballad?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want to hear it, then take me to the Great Central Rift of the Nine Netherworlds.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi could only set her sights on the Netherworld Deer again, pinning her hopes on it to serve as her mount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Central Rift of the Nine Netherworlds was precisely the location of the Demon Prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was said that this terrifying abyss, stretching across the center of the Nine Netherworlds and tearing through it, had been forcibly split open by the supreme power of the four Emperors of that era during the construction of the Demon Prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Netherworld Deer, seemingly still savoring the intoxicating taste of the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Soul Heart Fruit, licked its lips with lingering relish. Upon hearing Hua Changxi's words, it nodded in agreement with hardly any hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, beneath the dim and oppressive sky of the first realm of the Nine Netherworlds, a figure appeared, its entire body flowing with a dreamlike azure luster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its four hooves treading on wind, carrying on its back a female cultivator clad in snow-white robes, it transformed into a streak of azure lightning, piercing through the high skies at tremendous speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wherever the human and deer passed, the gray, dark clouds were torn apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below, the Nine Netherworld creatures lurking in the darkness, upon seeing this sight, all stopped in their tracks and raised their heads to gaze upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasionally, when a yin wind brushed past, one could faintly hear some ethereal musical notes, seemingly present yet absent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the rest of the journey, as the Netherworld Deer carried Hua Changxi across the Nine Netherworlds, it unsurprisingly attracted countless gazes of pursuit and astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that the legendary Netherworld Deer?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, that is the Netherworld Deer, exactly identical to the illustrations in ancient texts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very quickly, news of the Netherworld Deer's appearance swept through the entire Nine Netherworlds like a tsunami, stirring up tremendous waves wherever it went.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the banks of the Nether River to ancient caves deep within the Nine Netherworlds, countless sleeping or lurking existences were awakened, extending their divine senses in an attempt to capture that legendary figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shockwaves caused by this extraordinary phenomenon even penetrated multiple barriers, reaching the ears of the humans stationed at the Nine Passes of the Demon Prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Netherworld Deer?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Duimen Pass, upon hearing this news, the faces of Wei Zhenjie and the human experts suddenly darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the shock and uproar throughout the various regions of the Nine Netherworlds, what surged in their hearts was even deeper worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Netherworld Deer, known as the Dao Envoy of the Nine Netherworlds, usually signaled the imminent appearance of an expert at the 'Dao Lord' level upon its manifestation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The emergence of a Venerable Realm expert in the Nine Netherworlds was certainly no good news for the human race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in the fifth realm of the Nine Netherworlds, compared to the shock brought by the Netherworld Deer's appearance, the news of \"a human\" exploded like a spark thrown into boiling oil, instantly igniting discussions among all the Nine Netherworld races.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The turmoil it triggered even overshadowed the former.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was said that a human, disguised as a Soul Clan member, had successfully snatched the key to open the Nine Netherworld Soul Realm right under the noses of experts from all races!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is said that a human disguised as Lady Chi Yan infiltrated the Soul Nightmare Valley and stole ten Nine-Aperture Exquisite Soul Fruits from the Demon King of Nightmares.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is said that the mysterious ghost who wielded the Nether Blade to wreak havoc at the entrance of the Fourth Abyss earlier was also a human in disguise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is said that shocking news has emerged from Ghost Realm Fortress: Lady Chi Yan has been killed, and the murderer is a human disguised as a ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is said that on the Ancient Yellow Spring Road, the mysterious ghost who destroyed Lady Bi'an Hua's clone was also a human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each and every one of these earth-shattering events, any single one of which would be enough to shake the Nine Netherworlds, all point to a single human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A human actually infiltrated the Nine Netherworlds to stir up trouble; they simply do not know the meaning of life and death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the races of the Nine Netherworlds have simultaneously issued the highest-level pursuit orders, vowing to tear that audacious human limb from limb as a warning to others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing these rumors grow increasingly absurd and bizarre, Chu Junyi and his four companions looked at each other in dismay, momentarily at a loss for how to react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mencius Yu was so stunned he was speechless, blurting out, \"These rumors are too exaggerated!\" As he spoke, he subconsciously looked toward Chu Junyi and their other three companions, his eyes holding a glimmer of hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think? How much of these rumors is true?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Junyi fell silent for a moment, a complex light flashing in his eyes, before slowly saying, \"Half true, half false. However, it is absolutely certain that the ghosts wish to use 'a human' as a scapegoat to divert the Yellow Spring Lord's wrath.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A look of admiration appeared on Mencius Yu's face as he murmured, \"Even if only one of those rumors is true, I would still like to meet that capable person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To provoke all the races of the Nine Netherworlds into such fury; such a capable person is truly...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was momentarily at a loss for words, unable to find the right term to describe the shock in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Junyi's eyes flickered; to be honest, he too was very curious to know who that human was.\u003C\u002Fp>",1683,"2026-06-12T02:51:24.126Z",1,"Qwen3.5 397B","f82053fbaeedeae08eed22b43199bc877419fa4c7418ea3edeac3af1e1572aa7","the-great-jin-s-most-iron-rice-bowl-chapter-515","the-great-jin-s-most-iron-rice-bowl-chapter-513",558,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-great-jin-s-most-iron-rice-bowl-cover.jpg"]
