One of the Nine Cauldrons is in this area.

Of course, there is no clear region marked above.

But for Lu Yuan, it wasn't much of a difficulty.

The Celestial Palace had been explored, and what needed to be investigated was done.

Now his target was very clear, right within this half of Netherworld City.

"Then we'll follow you, King Lu." Jiang Ningxian was also very interested, wanting to see the legendary Nine Cauldrons.

After all, they were crafted by Da Yu himself, and China was considered her homeland. In other words, her roots were here.

To witness the Divine Artifact that suppresses a nation's destiny was very important to her.

The Four Great Beast Kings naturally had no objections to this.

Firstly, the Golden-winged Roc itself was Lu Yuan's mount.

And the Peacock King and others.

They had now joined the Heavenly Court, considered as subordinates.

Lu Yuan's commands were their orders to carry out.

Immediately.

They began to take action.

The general area could be narrowed down to this half of the Netherworld.

During their search, they also encountered Earth Awakened and some Outer Realm creatures.

These people started out with an advantage in their battles with the Yin Soldiers, but as time passed, the Yin Soldiers grew stronger, and eventually, they had no choice but to flee.

There was no way around it; they couldn't be killed and grew stronger the more they were fought. Anyone would have struggled to withstand them.

When Lu Yuan's group saw the Earth Awakened, they opted to intervene.

At the same time, they advised them to leave, not to take further risks.

The Yin Soldiers were too many.

They patrolled all parts of the city.

It was not uncommon to encounter them, and without sufficient strength, there was no way to handle them.

As for those Outer Realm creatures, they chose not to engage.

Because there was no need.

And they.

Upon seeing Lu Yuan, wisely retreated directly.

The reputation was there—who knew if there would be a conflict?

Meanwhile, they also discovered that within the Kunlun Secret Realm, apart from this city.

There were many other areas outside, with mountains, great rivers, resembling a small world in itself.

In those places, there were also Spirit Fruit and Exotic Herbs and the like, considered small fortunes, taken by others.

But this was nothing to Lu Yuan.

Finally.

They arrived at the central region of the Netherworld.

Unlike the Celestial Palace, here, there was only an endless flatland.

A muddy yellow river divided this land.

On the other side, flowers were blooming en masse.

But these flowers were strange, extremely crimson, surrounded by a red glow, appearing very eerie.

They covered the opposite bank endlessly, especially at the center of each flower. Upon closer inspection, one could spot human silhouettes, appearing very peculiar.

Connecting the two sides was a wooden arch bridge, echoing with the aura of time, its age unknown.

"Could these be the legendary Naihe Bridge, the Yellow Springs, and the Spider Lily?"

The Nine-tailed Fox King spoke, transforming into human form, eyes filled with shock.

About some mythical legends.

It naturally knew.

Especially being in the Netherworld now, seeing this scene, it was difficult not to overthink.

"This place shouldn't be the real Underworld and Celestial Palace; perhaps someone recreated them."

Jiang Ningxian answered at this time; she knew more and offered an explanation.

"So you mean the Underworld truly exists?"

Lu Yuan caught onto the key point of the sentence.

And couldn't help but ask.

"That's right."

She nodded: "In this world, many great battles have erupted, blood flowing like rivers, corpses littering the ground. The human ancestors, feeling guilty, didn't want the innocent to die in vain. They finally used Great Divine Techniques to establish the Underworld, intending for the departed to be reborn."

It's recorded in the Jiang clan's lineage. The truth of it isn't certain, but its credibility is very high.

Therefore, when Lu Yuan heard it, he realized that some mythical stories from China.

Might have many prototypes or origins.

At least.

The Heavenly Court, the Underworld.

All have related events.

"Alright, let's head to the other side."

Without much thought, he spoke directly, intending to cross to the other bank to find the Yongzhou Tripod, one of the Nine Cauldrons.

Then, they all stepped onto Naihe Bridge, crossed the Yellow Springs, arriving at the area where the Spider Lilies grew.

Once here, all the eerie aura vanished.

What replaced it was an unusual tranquility.

On the Spider Lilies.

The silhouettes occasionally dispersed and then gathered again.

Lu Yuan observed and realized these weren't souls, but rather the will left behind by the deceased, similar to the celestial warriors and Yin Soldiers.

"So, could it be that the Ancestor Dragon's army truly perished on the path of conquest?" He pondered in his heart, recalling the conversation with the Ancestor Dragon, and speculated on many things.

But who left this Kunlun Secret Realm?

Why recreate a Celestial Palace and Underworld?

And judging by the looks.

It seems they weren't completed in the end.

Jiang Ningxian also furrowed her brows, observing carefully.

"King Lu, Fairy Jiang, come take a look over here."

At this moment, the voice of the Spiritual Monkey came from the side.

The Four Great Beast Kings didn't know who Jiang Ningxian was, but they knew she was extraordinary, so they addressed her as Fairy Jiang out of respect.

Hearing this, Lu Yuan and she didn't hesitate, walking over. They discovered in this area, a raised spot without Spider Lilies, with soil of a completely different color.

"This is..." Upon seeing this, his heart tightened, face extremely solemn.

He then signaled everyone to disperse, gathering power in his hands.

Boom~

The ground was flipped open.

The raised spot was revealed before them.

It was an altar, not very tall, seemingly built a long time ago.

Moreover, this altar was constructed from nine different colored soils.

Another Nine-Colored Altar?

Seeing this, Lu Yuan thought.

This was the third time.

Shennongjia, the summit of Mount Tai, and now Kunlun Mountain.

However, he said nothing, just turned his head, looking at Jiang Ningxian beside him, wanting to see her reaction.

She was taken aback, seemingly surprised also, then turned, their eyes meeting instantly.

Both were very intelligent, having some understanding of the Nine-Colored Altar.

"Lu Yuan, where's your small tripod?"

Yet, Jiang Ningxian didn't elaborate, directly asking.

Through this journey, the two had gained more understanding of each other.

Their addresses were no longer as formal as before.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan knew she was referring to the Small Bronze Tripod.

After a brief thought, he flipped his hand slightly, and the small tripod appeared, still ancient yet carrying some mysterious aura.

The Four Great Beast Kings seeing this, were a bit puzzled but said nothing, watching silently from not far away.

And Lu Yuan, after taking out the small tripod.

Straight-up sat down cross-legged.

Took out the Daluo Sword Embryo, slicing open his palm.

Just like he did at Kongtong Mountain and the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum.

Buzzing~

As his blood infused.

The small tripod emitted gentle radiance.

The Nine-Colored Altar before him also resonated, radiating light.

Under the interplay of the two glows.

The altar trembled.

A beam of light shot straight out, piercing the sky, and within it, something seemed about to emerge.
