The Master of Beasts-Chapter 627 - 170: Changes in the Netherworld

It wasn't easy to have two fellow young people around, and now they had to leave before they could properly enjoy each other's company.

Miao Panpan showed a slightly embarrassed expression and said tactfully, "I've been out for quite some time this time. I'll come to find you next time to hang out."

"Or Senior Sister could come to our Five Elements Sect," Chen Jiuge invited.

"I'll have the opportunity. I need to study the elixir recipes I obtained this time," Mu Xinyan regretted.

"Then see you next time!"

"Farewell!"

.......

The journey back was smooth, but having been bored for too long in Earth Heart Valley, Miao Panpan visited several Immortal Cities along the way and bought quite a few novel items, which ended up consuming a lot of extra time.

Spirit Plant Area Three

Chen Jiuge glanced casually at the account book He Li handed over, and upon seeing that the sect tasks were completed in full, didn't say much more, offering a few words of encouragement to dismiss the numerous Spiritual Plant Masters.

"Great Steward, here is the income from your one thousand acres of high-quality Immortal Field. Since the spiritual energy has largely depleted from a hundred acres of the field, the harvest might be slightly less," He Li said softly.

"No problem."

Chen Jiuge didn't care much about the income from these Immortal Fields, as they were all used for brewing wine or some Immortal Rice, nothing interesting.

"By the way, has anything happened while I was away recently?"

"No, not really. However, Jialouluo Elder came looking for the Great Steward and took away those Yin Beasts," He Li pretended to think. She was very aware of what was happening in the Spiritual Plant Garden, as most of it was under her supervision.

Chen Jiuge rubbed his head in slight headache: "I see. I understand."

"Where have the Spiritual Beasts sent by Zi Jing Blossom of Commerce been placed?"

"Given that the quantity piled up quite a bit, I've rearranged them to a location in the small valley behind the Immortal Fields," He Li replied.

"All right, I understand. You go ahead and stay busy, I'll trouble you with the small matters daily."

"It's my honor."

Watching He Li swayingly exit, Chen Jiuge thought she wasn't bad, at least her management skills weren't lacking.

"I should start cultivating some Yin Beasts. In these past six months, I have formed quite a few ideas, and now it's time to give it a try."

After muttering to himself for a couple of sentences, Chen Jiuge quickly arrived at the small valley where the Spiritual Beasts were confined.

The originally thriving small valley now held a hint of cold due to the presence of these Spiritual Beasts. The grass on the ground withered slightly, and the few Spirit Plants visibly showed signs of malnutrition.

"Yin Qi, Yin Qi, maybe I shouldn't be enhancing Yin Qi but rather the traits."

"What are the traits of the Yin Beasts? It is death, a mass of negative emotions."

Grabbing a little wolf that had yet to become immortal, Chen Jiuge's Divine Sense began to connect with the Chaos Pearl in his mind, starting to guide the mutation.

In the past, the mutations were all directed towards devouring Yin Qi; this time, Chen Jiuge chose to devour death!

"Buzz Buzz Buzz"

The Chaos Pearl in the Sea of Consciousness trembled for a long time, and only then did the little wolf begin to change.

"I thought I was going to fail, but even such a huge concept can be fulfilled, just what exactly is this Supreme Treasure!" Chen Jiuge was highly surprised.

The dim, grey Yin Qi spurted out from the little wolf's body, and upon a slight touch, Chen Jiuge sensed something different.

"This feeling is akin to the Yellow Springs Wind that appeared in the pit hole earlier, except its power and intensity are several magnitudes weaker, but its essence has indeed changed."

Putting down this now mutated Yin Wolf, Chen Jiuge was surprised to find that compared to the previous mutations in Yin Qi, this Yin Wolf seemed more like a creature of the Underworld.

Moreover, it constantly released Yin Qi, no, it should be transforming Spiritual Energy into Yin Qi.

"Perhaps this is the real Yin Beast of the Underworld."

After confirming his thought, Chen Jiuge altered three, but bound by the exhaustion of Divine Soul Power, had to halt his continuous efforts.

"Huff Huff Huff"

After taking several deep breaths, Chen Jiuge said somewhat helplessly: "I always feel that activating the Chaos Pearl requires more and more Divine Soul Power, even though my cultivation is much higher than before!"

Snuggled in the core of the Chaos Pearl, a cute little ball of Chaos shrank its neck, muttering: "You can't blame me, I've only restored less than a tenth!"

As the number of Yin Beasts grew more and more, this temporary confinement in the small valley began to be shrouded in Yin Qi within merely a few days, with grasses and Spirit Plants on the ground starting to turn towards Yin Spiritual Plants.

"The infection is surprisingly strong, perhaps I can cultivate some Yin Spiritual Plants using the Yin Beasts. This stuff is very rare, and the profit should be fantastic."

"And I can provide Zi Jing Blossom of Commerce with another flagship product, it's practically killing two birds with one stone!" Chen Jiuge joyfully decided to plan.

......

However, Chen Jiuge was unaware that with the increasing number of Yin Beasts, immense changes began to occur in the void, as a hidden passage faintly began to unfurl underground.

Beneath the endless continent, there is a place entirely opposite to the True Realm.

Boundless Yin Qi completely enveloped the space; the whole sky was dim, as a robust Yin Tiger emerged from the darkness, with its grotesque large mouth continuously dripping dark green saliva, causing a series of corrosive sounds as it hit the ground.

The Yin Tiger continued forward to arrive at a small mound, quietly crouching down. A tall and slender figure leapt onto its back from the mound.

Pale and somewhat excessively white hands gently stroked the Yin Tiger's head, as a wave suddenly rippled across the woman's face filled with dead silence.

"Here's the passage!"

"Roar!"

"How come there are so many? Clearly, it's far ahead of the predicted time from before; has a variable appeared in the Yang World, is the great age going to open early?" The woman showed a hint of doubt.

"Ghost Woman, have you sensed it too?" said a very stout, disproportionately ugly man emerging from the Yin Qi.

"Ah, the Yang World, it's been so long since I've tasted fresh life," the stout man said greedily.

The Ghost Woman watched the man expressionlessly and warned: "The appearance time of the passage is wrong, Demon Leader, you'd better not act recklessly and if you die, don't blame me!"

Demon Leader was indifferent: "Both being Daluo, I don't believe the Yang World can match us kind of evil ghosts from the Underworld!"

"Suit yourself, the great age will rise, the existence of the Golden Immortals and Daluo, inherent with Dao, will vanish; death will no longer be a difficult matter, and the cultivators of the Yang World far outnumber us of the Underworld."

The Ghost Woman patted the Yin Tiger she was sitting on and disappeared into the wild after a few leaps.

Watching Ghost Woman leave, Demon Leader's ugly face revealed a few disdainful expressions: "Really thought the Great Emperor has reincarnated, Divine Soul obliterated, Lifebound Treasure lost, even turned the Underworld into this ghost-like state, you can wait, but it doesn't mean others can!"

Countless years ago, the Underworld wasn't in this state, but like the Yang World, it had chirping birds, flowers blooming, even the sun, the moon, and a starry sky.

Remembering the scene from back when the Great Emperor shared drinks with the likes of himself, a smile unconsciously surfaced on Demon Leader's face, and then he shook his head and glared maliciously: "Great Emperor, it's not that I am defying your orders, but you are already dead."

"Yang World, Underworld, why must we remain in such a dreary place!"

Changeless, dreary and gray Underworld, seems to have undergone some changes.

The howling, lamenting Yin Winds grew sharper, and now and then, the Underworld birds flying across the sky emitted harsh calls answered in chorus with the Yin Beasts on the ground, appearing slightly more joyful. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

An immensely large black hole floated in the sky, with numerous fine passageways connecting to it, not yet fully perfected, as they absorbed a vast amount of Yin Qi to make up for their defects.

Numerous Yin Beasts squatted at the entrances of the passageway, restless and uneasy, their fierce beast eyes revealing longing, they are waiting, they're hoping, they're preparing!

The transformations in the Underworld were quite secretive, but it doesn't mean the Yang World hadn't noticed.

Reincarnation Sacred Land, once the branch of Five Elements Sect, now one of the strongest sects in the True Realm.

The founder of Reincarnation Sacred Land, Reincarnation Ancestor, suddenly awakened from reverie, his eyes filled with agelessness showed a hint of astonishment: "Changes in the Underworld? How come at this moment?"

The cultivation of the Reincarnation Ancestor had long been unfathomable, and with a quick hand movement, he performed rare heavenly prediction Divine Skills to foresee bits of the future, but only fragmented glimpses were visible.

After a long period, as the ancestor looked at the blood at his mouth corner and the trace of Dao Power disappearing inside, his face revealed terror.

"Heavenly Dao backlash, even the recovery power became worse, this is the omen of the opening of the great catastrophe and the great age!"

Under the great catastrophe, cultivators stand equal; anyone might fall regardless; under the great age, anyone could become a stepping stone for the Child of Destiny.

The combination of the two becomes even more fearsome; even for someone like Reincarnation Ancestor cannot remain indifferent!
