The Master of Beasts-Chapter 628 - 171: The True Underworld Beast Appears

"Squeak, squeak, squeak."

The Yin Rats scurried around the small valley, leaving behind small burrows, their beady eyes darting around as if searching for the next digging spot.

Soon enough, they seemed to have found a target, and the Yin Rat scampered off with its little legs, only to be caught by a sinister hand halfway.

Chen Jiuge curiously examined the struggling Yin Rat, a hint of curiosity on his face: "I didn't expect Yin Beasts to be about the same size as ordinary wild animals. Can such a small body really accommodate such a vast amount of spiritual energy with a True Immortal's cultivation?"

The Yin Rat looked quite ordinary, much like the gray rats of the Mortal World, but it felt much better to the touch, with smooth fur carrying a bit of coolness.

The surrounding Yin Qi had an invigorating effect. If I had a Yin Rat in my previous life, I probably wouldn't have needed air conditioning in the summer.

"Something's not right!"

Chen Jiuge turned at the sound; it was Jialouluo who had arrived.

Jialouluo was holding a Yin Rabbit, turning it over and observing it. Perhaps in disdain, Jialouluo even used his finger to cut open the Yin Rabbit's body, revealing the light green blood and somewhat dim interior.

"Transformed spirit into Yin, this is an Underworld Yin Beast!" Jialouluo's expression shifted.

"What's wrong?" Chen Jiuge asked as he approached.

Jialouluo gathered his thoughts, looking at Chen Jiuge with a complex expression, taking a deep breath: "Did you cultivate this?"

"Yeah." Suddenly, Chen Jiuge felt a sense of panic.

"Phew, you've caused a major problem!" Jialouluo sighed.

"What's wrong with just a Yin Beast? Besides, you're the one who asked me to cultivate them."

Although Chen Jiuge hadn't interacted with Jialouluo much, he seemed to be a pacifist, so Chen Jiuge wasn't that afraid of him and immediately deflected the blame.

"That's true, but I didn't expect you could actually cultivate a true Underworld Yin Beast! No, this isn't something a normal person can cultivate, not even a Daluo!" Jialouluo seemed a bit frenzied.

"What's going on here!" Chen Jiuge was a bit disgruntled. Why does he always like to speak in riddles!

"In my era, the Evil Ghost Clan was the strongest, suppressing all other races in the True Realm, but even back then, the Evil Ghosts had enemies!"

"The Underworld, a fabled place where souls are imprisoned. People there call our world the Yang World, and they have a vast world just like ours, although devoid of vitality and with significantly fewer living beings than our Yang World."

"But their individual strength is formidable. They also have many powerful beings, which might have been one of the reasons for the downfall of the Evil Ghost Clan."

"But what does this have to do with me cultivating Yin Beasts?" Chen Jiuge said, speechless. You're saying something terrifying, but I have no concept of it!

"Ahem, ahem, I digressed. Do you remember the cage where I was imprisoned? And the scattered Yin Qi and Yellow Springs Wind?" Jialouluo lightly coughed and asked.

"Of course, I remember." Chen Jiuge certainly couldn't forget the Yellow Springs Wind!

"That cage was a prison of the Underworld, the very top prison at that. The Yin Qi maintained the prisoners' survival, and the Yellow Springs Wind ceaselessly eroded them as punishment!"

"Initially, the Yellow Springs Wind's power was supposed to gradually erode my strength and strengthen itself. However, not long after I was imprisoned, for some unknown reason, the Yellow Springs Wind stopped increasing in power, while the Yin Qi continued to grow. Out of boredom, I conducted a little research on Yin Qi."

"You still haven't mentioned the key point." Chen Jiuge really wanted to open his brain and see if he had become talkative from being imprisoned too long!

"Alright, alright." Jialouluo was a bit disappointed. He had originally wanted to brag about how much of a genius he was for understanding Yin Qi.

"As far as I know, there's a passage between the Underworld and the Yang World. Initially, both sides were connected, but over time, for some reason, the connection started to intermittently break."

"During the time when the Evil Ghosts dominated, they couldn't come to the Yang World, but the cultivators of the Yang World could descend through certain methods!"

"However, that doesn't mean the Underworld had no means. Yin Beasts were one of them, but they were discovered by the High Priest of our clan and were sealed at the cost of death."

"And now, the emergence of a true Yin Beast indicates that the passage between the Underworld and the Yang World has been reopened!" Jialouluo said solemnly.

"Gulp."

"Really?" Chen Jiuge found it hard to accept. All I did was cultivate a few Yin Beasts, and yet I've caused such a big catastrophe!

"It's true. Previously, Yin Beasts could only absorb Yin Qi, so they were considered inferior products that couldn't activate the passage. But now it's different."

"This one can devour spiritual energy and transform it into Yin Qi. This is a true Yin Beast. I never imagined someone could actually cultivate one. You've broadened my horizons!" Jialouluo was also at a loss for words. Encountering something nearly impossible was quite incredible to him.

As for Chen Jiuge's secrets, Jialouluo wasn't interested at all. In reality, most Daluo weren't particularly interested in so-called opportunities. Daluo was already the pinnacle of the True Realm, though it was said that there was a realm beyond, but that was just a legend, and Jialouluo had never seen it.

"Then aren't we doomed?" Chen Jiuge said fearfully.

Jialouluo gave a wry smile and said, "Probably, if the other cultivators find out that we activated the passage, we'll likely be hunted down by all the cultivators in the Quanzhen Realm."
