Chapter 561: Buddhist Golden Bead

He He Pingsheng obtained the map.

A map of the Divine Crane Royal Clan.

He He Pingsheng also understood a thing or two about the divisions of the Skyfire Continent.

Because this basic, common knowledge was recorded in the "Thousand Customs of the Spirit Realm."

The Spirit Realm consists of five continents.

On the Skyfire Continent, the largest regional division is the "Imperial Domain."

A so-called Imperial Domain is territory controlled by a Demon Emperor or Human Emperor at the Mahayana Imperial Realm.

Throughout the entire Skyfire Continent, there are approximately ninety such "Imperial Domains."

Below the Imperial Domain are the "Divine Kingdoms."

A so-called Divine Kingdom is territory controlled by a mighty figure at the Body Integration stage.

Divine Kingdoms are subordinate to the Imperial Domains!

And a royal clan like the Divine Crane Royal Clan is subordinate to a Divine Kingdom.

Of course, human factions like the neighboring "Heavenly Human Immortal Sect" also possess strength on par with a demon "Royal Clan."

Whether it is the Heavenly Human Immortal Sect or the Divine Crane Royal Clan, they must have at least one mighty figure at the "Void Refinement stage" to sit in command; otherwise, they would not be qualified to occupy territory and reign supreme.

The Elder of the Divine Deer Clan did not ask for money for the map.

It was considered a gift to He He Pingsheng.

He He Pingsheng did not stand on ceremony; after thanking him, he left the Prince Tianyu Chamber of Commerce directly and headed toward the "Nine Nether Heavenly Abyss" marked on the map.

The Nine Nether Heavenly Abyss was not too far from Divine Crane City.

At He He Pingsheng's current speed, he arrived in just one day.

It was different from what he had imagined.

The Nine Nether Heavenly Abyss was not a desolate or barren place; a rather prosperous small city had even developed on the outskirts of the Heavenly Abyss.

In the small city, large numbers of Golden Core cultivators and Nascent Soul cultivators were coming and going.

He He Pingsheng also walked inside.

Because the entrance to the Nine Nether Heavenly Abyss was located in the middle of the small city.

He He Pingsheng had also learned a bit about the Nine Nether Heavenly Abyss while at the Chamber of Commerce.

The Heavenly Abyss is a deep chasm.

Extremely deep!

Moreover, within the Heavenly Abyss, hurricanes condensed from Yin-evil Qi constantly swept through.

Those hurricanes were almost everywhere; if one were to enter directly from elsewhere in the Heavenly Abyss, even a Nascent Soul stage cultivator could potentially be torn to shreds by the hurricanes.

That is how terrifying it is.

Yet, the only entrance to the Heavenly Abyss in this city was somewhat different.

Here, there was a massive Wind-Fixing Bead.

It fixed the hurricanes within a radius of a thousand zhang.

Therefore, only by walking into the Heavenly Abyss from near this Wind-Fixing Bead could one avoid being affected by the hurricanes within the abyss.

As for after walking into the Heavenly Abyss, there was no need to worry, because after descending to a certain depth, the hurricanes in the Nine Nether Heavenly Abyss would disappear.

Those hurricanes only existed on the surface of the topmost layer of the Heavenly Abyss.

He He Pingsheng arrived at the very center of the small city.

He also saw the Heavenly Abyss.

His spiritual sense surged forth, and everything within a radius of one hundred thousand zhang was seen clearly by He He Pingsheng.

Hurricanes condensed from black Yin-evil Qi formed cyclones, spinning crazily as if they wanted to choose someone to devour.

Yet, amidst this endless windstorm, there was a black bead, about ten zhang in size, floating at the very top of the countless Yin-evil Qi of the Nine Nether Heavenly Abyss.

Just like wood floating on water, it bobbed up and down, rising and sinking.

Upon that black bead, there were golden rays of light, suddenly spilling out in all directions.

Within the light, golden Buddhist "Swastika symbols" flowed out one by one, suppressing the surrounding thousand-zhang radius.

Within the thousand-zhang range, no hurricanes swept through.

This was the entrance to the Nine Nether Heavenly Abyss.

And at the entrance to the Nine Nether Heavenly Abyss, hundreds of Nascent Soul and Golden Core stage cultivators were waiting.

He He Pingsheng did not understand why they were not going in.

So, he asked, "This fellow Daoist... may I ask!"

"Is this Wind-Fixing Bead a Buddhist magic treasure?"

The person asked was a male cultivator at the tenth layer of the Nascent Soul stage; this person was fat, wore a dark red Daoist robe, and his face was always brimming with a smile.

He looked very kind-hearted.

"Hehehe... greetings, fellow Daoist, that is exactly so!" the chubby red-robed Nascent Soul cultivator said: "Legend has it that a high monk from the 'Heavenly Buddha Imperial Domain' once passed by here and used a prayer bead he had cultivated for eighteen thousand years to fix the hurricanes in this place!"

He He Pingsheng was astonished!

Good heavens, a Buddhist expert indeed.

In this world, there is Buddhism.

Not only is there Buddhism, but it is said there are also demonic cultivators of the Demonic Sect.

But He He Pingsheng never expected that in the Imperial Domains on the Skyfire Continent, there would actually be a "Heavenly Buddha Imperial Domain."

Caring about these things was useless, so He He Pingsheng asked again: "May I ask fellow Daoist, why is everyone waiting here instead of going straight in?"

Two types of Rootless Grass grow in the Nine Nether Heavenly Abyss.

One type is of the fifth tier; after consuming it, one can break through the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul stage.

One type is of the fourth tier; after consuming it, one can break through the Golden Core stage bottleneck.

Therefore, those who come here seeking opportunities include not only Nascent Soul cultivators but also Golden Core cultivators.

The so-called Rootless Grass has no roots.

Nor does it grow on the ground.

Instead, it grows in the void of this endless Yin-evil Qi, floating everywhere with the currents of the evil Qi, and its color is almost identical to the evil Qi, merging into one.

"We cannot go in!" the red-robed Nascent Soul cultivator said: "Because a storm is coming!"

"A storm?" He He Pingsheng said: "Doesn't this have the Wind-Fixing Bead?"

"That won't work either!" The red-robed Nascent Soul cultivator shook his head: "This Buddhist golden bead has been bobbing here for who knows how many tens of thousands of years; to put it bluntly, whether the holy monk who placed the Buddhist bead here is still alive today is hard to say!"

"All things in the world cannot withstand time!"

"With the passage of time, the Buddhist Dharma upon this Buddhist golden bead is also fading!"

"It is said that a thousand years ago, this golden bead could fix the hurricanes in one breath for five days, and then use two days to recover its Buddhist nature!"

"Nowadays, it can only fix them for three days!"

"And after fixing them for three days, it must rest for four days!"

Once he said this, He He Pingsheng understood.

The energy on the Buddhist bead has simply diminished, so every three days, it must self-repair for four days.

This...

That is to say, it is currently about to enter a self-repair state.

At this time, it appears the Buddhist bead is still working, but in reality, it could stop at any moment.

If one were to rashly jump down at this time, and the Wind-Fixing Bead happened to stop, the person would be torn to shreds directly by the hurricanes.

That is why everyone is watching.

Sure enough, while He He Pingsheng was speaking, the Wind-Fixing Bead lost its effect.

Whoosh—in almost an instant, countless hurricanes condensed around the Wind-Fixing Bead, roaming everywhere!

The massive hurricanes even blew out of the Nine Nether Heavenly Abyss and toward the small city.

The cultivators standing nearby all lifted their feet and hurriedly retreated.

The great Nascent Souls and great Golden Cores, like commoners in a marketplace, caused a commotion.

He He Pingsheng naturally did not dare to show off and test the strength of those hurricanes.

Because there was no need.

Just wait!

Isn't it just waiting four days?

After four days, I will go in and take a look. ===== CHAPTER 562 =====
