Chapter 1658 - 1469: Chaos Sea, Floating City

"Then my mother, she..." Ye Guichen's body trembled, asking urgently.

The Black Dragon's voice choked, "Before she left, she entrusted you to me. Rest assured, as long as I have a breath left, I won't let anyone bully you."

Silence.

A long silence.

Ye Guichen said no more.

He understood the meaning behind the Black Dragon's words.

Perhaps he would never see his mother again in this lifetime.

"Thank you!" Ye Guichen knew that, regardless of the relationship between the Black Dragon and his mother, since the promise was upheld, it was well worth his thanks.

"Uncle Black Dragon, I want to know, does reincarnation truly exist in this world? If it does, will the deceased be able to return?"

Ye Guichen asked.

The Black Dragon paused for a moment, then nodded, "It does."

"Alright! I understand, thank you." Ye Guichen said thank you again, and directly leaped off the Black Dragon's back, entering Netherworld Mountain.

The human cultivators were extremely excited and rushed into Netherworld Mountain.

Ye Guichen spread out his Spiritual Sense in search of the Heavenly Patrol Order.

Although he didn't know what the Heavenly Patrol Order was, since it was something that could surpass Netherworld Mountain, it naturally wasn't ordinary.

The Black Dragon didn't follow.

He simply watched Ye Guichen quietly, ensuring his safety.

Soon, Ye Guichen sensed something emanating strong energy underground.

Arriving at Netherworld Mountain, the Ghost Cultivators and Corpse Cultivators either fled or surrendered.

Ye Guichen didn't see the shadow of the Demon Clan's Young Master, so he figured he might have already fled.

Ye Guichen also believed that even if the Demon Clan's Young Master hadn't fled, he wouldn't be a match for him now.

Not paying attention to others, Ye Guichen quickly reached the surface emitting strong energy.

He took out the Immortal Slayer Sword and sliced the ground open with one swing.

The ground couldn't withstand the slice of the Immortal Slayer Sword, instantly shattering and revealing a massive rift.

At the same time, inside, a dark box was exposed.

Reaching out, he took the box.

The box appeared unassuming but was engraved with many runes, looking extremely strange.

Ye Guichen chopped at it a few times with the Immortal Slayer Sword, but there wasn't the slightest mark of damage.

Trying to open it, he found it was impossible to open.

"Isn't there the Heavenly Patrol Order inside?"

Ye Guichen furrowed his brows.

Even if there was a Heavenly Patrol Order inside, if he couldn't open it, it was useless.

At this moment, the Black Dragon suddenly appeared beside Ye Guichen, "This kind of thing needs to recognize its master. Just a drop of blood, and if it recognizes you, it will open the box."

Ye Guichen glanced at the Black Dragon, bit his finger, and dripped blood onto the box.

The next second, the runes on the box's surface began to swim rapidly like tadpoles.

Before long, the box made a clicking sound and opened.

Ye Guichen leaned forward to look, and saw a white light flying out, entering his brow.

Ye Guichen wanted to dodge but couldn't.

However, just when Ye Guichen tried to see what it was, he suddenly found that there seemed to be a mark inside his body.

Could this be the Heavenly Patrol Order?

Ye Guichen turned his head and looked at the Black Dragon oddly.

The Black Dragon nodded gently, "The Heavenly Patrol Order will imprint on your soul."

"Then I can cross Netherworld Mountain?" Ye Guichen felt expectant.

He very much wanted to see what was on the other side of Netherworld Mountain.

The Black Dragon didn't answer.

Ye Guichen went to bid farewell to Yu Wen Dou and the barbarians.

Since things were settled here, they wouldn't be in danger anymore.

Ye Guichen also granted freedom to the barbarians.

Although the barbarians felt a bit unwilling, seeing Ye Guichen's decisive manner, they couldn't help but say they would always guard Netherworld Mountain, waiting for Ye Guichen's return.

Those human cultivators began searching for treasures in Netherworld Mountain, taking whatever was portable.

Ye Guichen no longer lingered.

Suddenly, he felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.

He had originally dreamed of one day embarking on the Immortal path, but he now realized that family was more important than anything.

Especially that mother he had never met, Ye Guichen knew she had never given up on him, and had even observed him secretly all along.

Not meeting him unless absolutely necessary.

Parents' loving hearts are universal.

Three days later, Ye Guichen gathered his emotions and began climbing Netherworld Mountain.

The further he climbed, the heavier the gloominess became, feeling as if piercing his soul.

Ye Guichen took a full seven weeks to finally see the summit of Netherworld Mountain.

The Black Dragon didn't help, just followed ye Guichen closely.

However, it seemed that crossing Netherworld Mountain wasn't difficult for the Black Dragon.

As for the Sage Infant and Ghost King, Ye Guichen brought them inside Jiuyou Tower, otherwise, they couldn't cross Netherworld Mountain either.

On the fiftieth day, he reached the top of Netherworld Mountain.

Looking into the distance, there was indeed a stretch of azure sea.

Far away, people could be seen sword flying above the sea, akin to an Immortal Realm.

"So, beyond the mountain, there really is the sea."

Ye Guichen leaped towards the mountain's descent.

This time, before long, Ye Guichen reached the seashore.

But to Ye Guichen's shock, as he dove onto the water, the sea felt like it had tentacles, wrapping him completely.

Ye Guichen initially thought he could walk on water, only to find this sea was unlike any he'd seen before.

"This sea is called Chaos Sea because underneath is full of monster beasts where humans can't survive, only the surface can be lived upon. And the water itself is chaotic, once sunk, you face nine deaths for one life."
