The young Daoist boy sat next to Xuanzhenzi, curiously observing the runes on the cave wall.
The old man from the underworld looked at David and said, “Young man, I know you are still new to the Twenty-first Heaven and there are still many things you don’t know.”
Let me say the most important thing first.
The gods in the 21st Heaven are very different from the gods in the 20th Heaven.
The gods in the twentieth heaven were a disorganized group, each going their own way.
The gods in the 21st Heaven are ruled by three main families, with each family as the core.
The Golden Crow Clan, Silver Moon Clan, and Starry Sky Clan—each clan held supreme divine authority.
David listened without interrupting.
The old man from the underworld continued, “The Golden Crow family holds the power of the Sun God, the Silver Moon family holds the power of the Moon God, and the Morning Star family holds the power of the Star God.”
The three clans appear to rule together, but in reality, each harbors its own hidden motives. The Gold Crow Clan was powerful and domineering, the Silver Moon Clan operated in secret, and the Morning Star Clan remained elusive and secretive.
The white-robed man you killed in the twentieth heaven was the eldest son of the Golden Crow family.
David raised his eyebrows slightly: “Eldest son?”
“That’s right.”
The old man from the underworld said, “Jin Wuyai, the patriarch of the Golden Crow Clan, is a peak level three Great Luo Golden Immortal. His son died in your hands, and he won’t just let this go.”
I suspect he has already sent people to investigate your whereabouts. Since you have just arrived at Twenty-first Heaven, it would be best not to rush to the Heavenly Axis Continent.
“Let’s settle down in the Underworld Abyss first, and then act after we assess the situation.”
David was silent for a moment: “Is the Netherworld abyss safe?”
“Security.”
The Old Man of the Underworld said, “The Yin energy barrier in the Underworld Abyss is impossible for even god-level cultivators to break through. Even level three Great Luo Golden Immortals would have their souls eroded by the Yin energy if they forced their way in.”
The demon race had lived in this abyss for hundreds of thousands of years, and the gods had never set foot in the depths of the Underworld Abyss. As long as you do not leave the Underworld Abyss, you are safe.
David nodded, but a complex flash of light appeared in his purple eyes.
Security is temporary; he couldn’t stay in the Underworld forever.
He also wanted to go to the Void Sea, Seven Star Continent, and Heavenly Axis Continent.
He needed to find clues about Wan Jianxing and the entrance to the Twenty-second Heaven.
However, the old man from the underworld was right; now was not the right time to act rashly.
He needed to understand the rules of the Twenty-first Heaven and find his own footing.
“I understand.”
David said, “Thank you for your guidance, senior.”
David settled in the Abyss of the Underworld.
The demons provided a separate cave in the cliff for them, which, although small, was large enough for four people to live in.
The walls of the cave were carved smooth and even, and a piece of ore emitting dark red light was embedded in the top, enveloping the entire cave in a circle of warm and dim light.
The black curtain at the entrance blocked the yin energy from outside and also muffled most sounds, making the place very quiet.
For the first few days, David wasn’t too far from the cave.
He adapted to the environment of the Underworld Abyss, with its ever-enveloping darkness, and with its ever-present cold atmosphere.
Ghost cultivators came and went, mostly in silence. Every now and then, someone would glance at their cave with curiosity but without hostility in their eyes.
Xuanzhenzi couldn’t sit still for more than two days in the cave. He kept muttering, “This damn place is too stuffy,” and spent all his time dragging the little Daoist boy back and forth on the suspension bridge on the cliff.
The ghost cultivators were quite tolerant of these two lively foreigners, and would occasionally give them directions, telling them which rope bridge led to which place.
Jiang Xuelan meditated and practiced in the cave.
The Yin energy of the Underworld Abyss resonated with her Ice God power in an inexplicable way. Every time he launched his cultivation technique, he could feel his Ice God bloodline warming slightly, as if something deep in this abyss was echoing him from afar.
David often ventured out of the cave alone, exploring the deepest parts of the Underworld Abyss via stone steps and suspension bridges on cliffs.
The Ghost Clan’s territory was vast, stretching down from the seventh level, with the eighth and ninth levels as well.
He had not gone deep into the bottom layer, but he had already understood most of the terrain in the seventh layer.
It was during his exploration that he discovered the crack.
It is located on the stone wall at the junction of the seventh and eighth floors. A narrow crack, like the mark left by a knife blade cutting through rock, was about the height of a person and half a meter wide, with smooth, mirror-like edges.
