Chapter 2445: Chapter 2443: To the Netherworld
Although the little plump son stayed in Lin Yingying’s belly for a long time, after all, he was just born not long ago.
Despite this, the boy was lively and spirited, not at all like a mere child.
However, Lin Yingying worried about him; if anything happened, she, as his mother, couldn’t be there for him.
The plump son received his father’s order, so naturally, he didn’t take Lin Yingying’s words to heart.
Lin Yingying was about to raise objections when the plump son cried out, "Oh dear! Daddy, Mommy, I can’t hear you talking here, you deal with your own things, I’ll be off now!"
A wave of distorted imagery surrounded him.
The reflection in the Void Mirror suddenly became blurry.
Long Fei smiled as he raised his hand and collected the item, only to see a distant dead star had already been mostly consumed by it.
Lin Yingying felt somewhat angry, watching the father and son, not knowing what to say in her frustration.
"I suddenly thought of something, let’s meet back home!"
Long Fei hurriedly slipped away and returned to the Heavenly Court.
Lin Yingying, feeling a fire inside, pulled out the Chaos Beast and gave it a thrashing before returning to the Heavenly Court.
The Chaos Beast, with a snotty nose, lamented its woes, "I’ve been wronged! What did I do to deserve this?"
In the garden behind the hall of the Heavenly Court Sovereign, Long Fei summoned Asu over.
Asu had been roaming the Human Realm this year, visiting many places, growing ever more fond of it.
Compared to the dreary Netherworld, this place was full of vitality, and had a bunch of lovely friends.
Initially, there was deep hostility towards her, but after the True Immortal’s world-ending event.
Asu had achieved great merit, changing the perceptions people had of her.
After she arrived, Long Fei was already seated at a stone table in the garden, drinking tea.
He poured a cup for Asu, inviting her to sit and chat.
Asu stared at him curiously, "Why did you suddenly call for me?"
Long Fei chuckled, "No need to be scared, I’m not interested in you as a person."
Asu straightened up, pouting, "I’m not scared! If you’re interested, I absolutely won’t resist."
She picked up the teacup, took a quiet sip, feeling that her charm was lacking in front of Long Fei.
Long Fei spoke directly, "Let’s cut to the chase, I want to go to the Netherworld, how do I get there?"
Asu spat out a mouthful of tea, staring at Long Fei, her face filled with astonishment, "To the Netherworld? You’re not joking, are you?"
Long Fei replied seriously, "Do I look like I’m in the mood for jokes?"
Asu shook her head, "You can’t go, the Netherworld is the complete opposite of the Human Realm. It’s filled with Yin Qi, and the sun from here shines coldly there. Even immortals can’t stay a day in the Netherworld without being consumed by Yin Qi."
Long Fei asked her, "Then why are you, a Netherworld native, unafraid of the Yang Qi of the Human Realm?"
Asu replied, "I am from the Asura Clan, blessed with the Ancestral Master’s bloodline, naturally unaffected by Yang Qi here."
"Your Ancestral Master’s bloodline is indeed extraordinary."
Long Fei looked at her, suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand, extracting a drop of fresh blood from her fingertips.
Asu thought he was about to do something, blushed, and shyly retracted her hand at the critical moment.
Long Fei took the blood and said to her, "Watch carefully."
He absorbed the blood into his skin, merging Asu’s Asura bloodline with his own.
This blood contained a dominant Yin Malevolence Qi, which was immediately consumed by his Black Tortoise Bloodline upon entering.
The Divine Beast Black Tortoise is the essence of Yin Malevolence.
Even Netherworld Water is to the Black Tortoise like ordinary spring water.
Asu knew Long Fei’s bloodline was formidable, but she didn’t expect it to be so overpowering.
She pondered for a moment and said, "Now, you should be able to go."
"Then let’s go!"
Long Fei stood up, ready to leave.
Asu hurriedly tried to stop him, "Hey, I’ve said I’ll mediate between you and the Ancestral Master. You’re not going to the Netherworld to cause trouble, are you?"
Long Fei chuckled, "You’re overthinking, my cultivation level is no match for your Ancestral Master."
"That’s true."
Asu pondered and asked him, "Then what do you plan to do? Are you going down there for sightseeing?"
"Your curiosity runs deep!"
Long Fei confided a truth to her, "I’m going to the Netherworld to refine a few immortal Magical Treasures. These treasures have spiritual imprints too strong to be broken without Netherworld Water."
Asu had the Netherworld Gourd in her hand.
But the Netherworld Water inside had been mostly used up suppressing the Three-Treasure Jade Ruyi.
To refine those heaven-defying treasures, one must venture into the Netherworld.
Furthermore, his Twelve Witch God Flags need to go to the Netherworld to truly be ritually refined.
Asu, having a way to enter the Human Realm, Long Fei believed she must have a way back.
Seeing Long Fei’s serious demeanor, Asu knew she had no choice but to help.
She wanted to be the mediator, to adjust relations between Long Fei and the Netherworld.
Going back for a visit, meeting the Ancestral Master wasn’t out of the question.
After considering, she agreed with Long Fei, "Give me some time, I need to reach out to the Ancestral Master and have him help open the gates between the Netherworld and Human Realm."
"Naturally."
Long Fei nodded.
Asu asked him, "Aren’t you scared at all? Venturing alone into the Netherworld, you might lose your life."
Long Fei calmly said, "Every step of my journey has been fraught with danger. If I feared death, how could I have come this far? Life and death are fate, I believe my life isn’t that short."
Asu nodded, saying no more.
She left alone, venturing into the starry sky, not sure what she did, but three days later she sent Long Fei a location, asking him to come over.
Long Fei called Lin Yingying and others to bid farewell.
Everyone knew Long Fei was going on a long journey, expressing their concern as they said goodbye, wishing him a safe trip.
Long Fei embraced Lin Yingying, smiling to reassure everyone.
Though he understood inwardly that this trip might be a precarious nine out of ten chance of death.
The Netherworld is perilous, filled with demon races, asuras, and possibly other unknown clans.
With only the demon race and the Asura Clan, there are countless who wish to take his life.
He left the Chaos Clock and Xuanyuan Sword with Lin Yingying; bringing these items to the Netherworld would easily attract the attention of the Nether River Patriarch, posing danger instead.
With these treasures at her disposal, Lin Yingying could withstand anyone from the Immortal Realm.
After entrusting responsibilities to the Heavenly Court officials, he departed alone, bringing along the Chaos Beast.
This being born from Chaos can endure both Yin Yang Qi.
It proves its worth in the Netherworld.
In a Dead Star domain, Asu had already made preparations for the return.
Long Fei arrived sitting on the Chaos Beast, Asu greeted him with a playful smile like when she first came, "Are you ready?"
Long Fei nodded.
Asu said, "Be careful this time, in my territory, I won’t be as easy to deal with as now."
Long Fei chuckled, "Let’s wait and see."
Asu smirked, tossing two Sacred Swords from her hand.
Two strands of Mysterious Light exploded in the air, emitting two streaks of blood-red light, fiercely piercing up into the Void.
Boom, boom, boom, a series of explosions.
An extremely dominant destructive force immediately swept across the entire Dead Star domain.
In an instant, a golden vortex formed in the central area of this domain.
Two opposing materials swiftly collided, creating rolling thunder within this vortex, as if forming a sea of thunder in the Void.
