Chapter 1324: Entering the Second Layer of Hell

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

At the sight of the sect masters, Qingfeng Li finally realized something. It was no wonder all of the top-tier self-cultivators of Huaxia wanted to enter the first layer of Hell. It contained too many elixirs, technique books, and treasures. All of these could help the self-cultivators in their breakthroughs.

Qingfeng Li looked around, wanting to find Linger Yao. To his disappointment, she was nowhere in sight.

Qingfeng Li felt a complex emotion towards Linger Yao. He wanted to see her again. He found it strange that she wasn't there to fight for the Immortal Sutra.

The Immortal Sutra was a spiritual spell of the Immortals. Logically speaking, any self-cultivator would fight to the death for it. Qingfeng Li couldn't wrap his head around the fact that Linger Yao wasn't there.

As he prepared to grab the Immortal Sutra, a sharp sound shot through the sky. The Immortal Sutra flew across the air, transforming into a golden ray of light, directly entering the second layer of Hell.

Although an energy veil protected the entrance of the second layer of Hell, it was not enough to stop the Immortal Sutra. The text flew through the defenses instantly.

At this sight, everyone was stunned. The sect masters from the different emperor level sects were even more shocked.

"Oh no! The Immortal Sutra has entered the second layer of Hell. What do we do now?"

"What else can we do? We need to get in and get the Immortal Sutra."

"Yes, you are right. As long as we get the Immortal Sutra, we can potentially become Immortals in the future."

The surrounding emperor level sect masters all began to chatter.

Immediately after, these sect masters all transformed into a multitude of rays, shooting through the defense of the second layer of Hell, entering instantly.

At the sight of their sect masters entering the second layer of Hell, the other self-cultivators immediately followed as well.

Although the second layer of Hell was extremely dangerous, it contained even more treasures than the first. Otherwise, the Immortal Sutra wouldn't have entered it in the first place.

Black Puppy walked towards Qingfeng Li and said, "Let's go in as well."

Qingfeng Li looked around and said, " Little dog, why didn't Linger Yao come?"

At the sound of his voice, Black Puppy raised its eyebrows and said, "No wonder you are hesitant. You're thinking about Linger Yao! What went on between you two?"

"Little Dog, don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Her and I are completely normal. What could happen between us?" Qingfeng Li said, looking at the Black Puppy.

Flower Fairy watched Qingfeng Li with a strange expression in her eyes. Through a woman's natural sense, she could tell that something was going on between Qingfeng Li and Linger Yao. But she didn't know exactly what.

Qingfeng Li gazed towards a Demonic-Imperial sect disciple in the distance. She was a long-haired young woman, with a delicate face and graceful figure. He had seen her near Linger Yao before.

Qingfeng Li walked towards the young woman and asked, " Hi, I just wanted to ask, where did Linger Yao go?"

The young woman glanced at him with eyes of caution. She said coldly, " Who are you? Why are you looking for our sect master?"

Qingfeng Li smiled politely and explained, "My name is Qingfeng Li, and I am a friend of your sect master Linger Yao. Can you tell me now?"

The young woman looked over Qingfeng Li carefully and realized that she had seen him outside of the Forbidden district before. Linger Yao did, in fact, help Qingfeng Li defeat the people from the Devil-Imperial sect. He was indeed a friend of hers.

The young woman put down her defenses and said, "Our sect master left. She had entered the second layer of Hell long ago. She said she needed to find treasures and spirit herbs."

"Thank you for your information. Goodbye." Qingfeng Li waved his hand and walked away.

Qingfeng Li's only intention was to find out if Linger Yao was still alive. He was relieved hearing that she was alive and well.

Qingfeng Li was about to enter the second layer of Hell. There was a possibility he could run into Linger Yao inside.

"What a strange person, leaving immediately after asking about our sect master." At the sight of Qingfeng Li walking away, the young woman furrowed her brows, her eyes full of confusion.

"Eldest Senior Sister, are we also entering the second layer of Hell?" a short-haired girl asked.

The young woman nodded and said, "Of course we are. Our sect master is inside, so we must go find her."

Qingfeng Li wasn't with the members of the Demonic-Imperial Sect. Instead, he arrived at the entrance of the second layer of Hell along with Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, Flower Fairy, Ziyue Jiang, and Xianzhi Qin.

It was a black cave, dark as the night and black as ink. It appeared to go on forever, its end nowhere in sight. A black gust of wind blew from its top, sending chills down every person's spines.

At its entrance stood a black protective energy veil. If the people wanted to enter the cave, they must first break the veil.

Qingfeng Li extended his right fist, channeling his vital essence and shaping it into a gigantic fist before smashing it towards the black defensive energy veil with all his might, shattering it instantly.

"Everyone, follow me and jump. Be careful." Qingfeng reminded the rest of the group and jumped first.

Upon jumping, Qingfeng Li realized that the cave was enormous. Looking around, he couldn't see an end to the area. It was an independent space, a secretive spatial world, different from the world above ground.

Gusts of wind blew past his ears. He could almost hear the anguished cries of undying souls.

Of course, these were not the voices of phantoms. The real phantoms lived within the third layer of Hell, where the Netherworld was located. It was impossible for ordinary self-cultivators to get in.

The first two layers of Hell were basically protective layers of the Netherworld, a zone between the underworld and this world.

After some time, Qingfeng Li landed at the bottom. There, the sky, the ground, the mountains and the rivers were all pitch black, dark as could be. It was the same color as the first layer of Hell, except it was even more ominous.

After Qingfeng Li, Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake also landed beside him.

Black Puppy furrowed its brows as it looked around, circling the area.

At the sight of the busy Black Puppy, Qingfeng Li asked, "What are you sniffing at? Is there a difference between here and up there?"

Black Puppy answered, "Back in the ancient era, I've came to the first and the second layer of Hell. The soil smelled different back then."

Sky-Devouring Snake twitched its mouth and said, "Of course it's different. It's been a couple of thousands of years. Isn't it normal for the soil to change?"
