2715 Going Upstream Hell Lord Bitter Springs seemed to be surprised as well when he heard the words ‘Nether River’. He fell into deep thought and murmured, “Could the Nether River really exist?” “What do you know?” The Martial Dao Prime Body asked. Hell Lord Bitter Springs explained, “It’s said that the Lord of Hell inadvertently mentioned the Nether River once. According to the Lord of Hell back then, the source of the Nine Springs of Hell was actually the Nether River!” When he heard that, the Martial Dao Prime Body’s heart skipped a beat. Back when he saw the Hell Frost Springs, a thought flashed through his mind. A large part of the formation of the Hell World was due to the existence of the Nine Springs of Hell. The Nine Springs of Hell provided a large amount of Nether Qi that could allow living beings of Hell to cultivate in this world. As long as it was a spring, there would definitely be a spring source. For the Nine Springs of Hell to have such powerful strength and possess different powers, what was the source of the Nine Springs and where was it? And now, the Martial Dao Prime Body heard an answer from Hell Lord Bitter Springs. The Nether River! The Martial Dao Prime Body pondered for a moment and said, “In other words, the Nether River split into nine different streams and surged into the Hell World, forming the current Nine Springs of Hell.” Hell Lord Bitter Springs nodded. “Fufu…” At the side, the Void Yaksha suddenly sneered with disdain. “Beast, what are you laughing at?!” Hell Lord Bitter Springs’ expression darkened as he berated. The Void Yaksha grinned. “So the dignified Lord of Hell doesn’t even know about the Nether River. Hahahaha!” “Do you think the Nether River exists just to split into the Nine Springs of Hell?” “The main source of the Nine Springs of Hell is only a tributary of the Nether River! The Nether River has another tributary that surges into our Ghost World and is also the River of Life of our Ghost World!” When they heard that, the Martial Dao Prime Body and Hell Lord Bitter Springs were shocked. The formation of the Nine Springs of Hell was merely a tributary of the Nether River! As for the other tributary of the Nether River, it flowed towards the Ghost World! The Void Yaksha said proudly, “All of us Ghosts were born from the River of Life by Lady Ghost Mother!” “Lady Ghost Mother?” The Martial Dao Prime Body narrowed his eyes slightly. Hell Lord Bitter Springs could tell that the Martial Dao Prime Body was puzzled and sent a voice transmission with his spirit consciousness. “It’s said that the honorific title of the Lord of the Ghost World is the Brahma Ghost Mother.” The Martial Dao Prime Body nodded to himself. In that case, Brahma Ghost Mother should be on the same status and level as the Lord of Hell back then. A special lifeform like the Nether race was born from the Nine Springs of Hell. In the Ghost World, there was also a River of Life that nurtured strange living beings such as the Ghost race. Be it the Nine Springs of Hell or the River of Life of the Ghost World, they were merely tributaries of the Nether River. What kind of power was contained in the Nether River?! It was no wonder why even the Ghost King Void Yaksha shuddered in fear at the mention of the Nether River. Where was the Nether River and how was it formed? Suddenly, the Martial Dao Prime Body felt that he was in contact with another world. It was mysterious and vast, filled with endless unknowns and was completely different from the medium chiliocosm! As for the Hell World, it might only be the tip of the iceberg of this world. “You haven’t told us how you came to the Hell World!” Hell Lord Bitter Springs asked. That memory seemed to be extremely painful for the Void Yaksha. He was silent for a moment before saying slowly, “I committed a heinous crime in the Ghost World and was exiled by Lady Ghost Mother to the Nether River to fend for myself.” “I couldn’t defend against the power of the Nether River at all.” “However, by a freak coincidence, I was swept by a countercurrent of the Nether River and accidentally entered another tributary of the Nether River, the Nine Springs of Hell.” “Later on, I went with the flow of the Nine Springs of Hell and finally arrived in the Bitter Springs.” The Martial Dao Prime Body was enlightened. If the Nine Springs of Hell and the River of Life of the Ghost World had the same source, theoretically speaking, it was indeed possible for the two worlds to connect. However, the difficulty was way too great! Otherwise, there couldn’t have merely been a single Void Yaksha who drifted over by accident after all these years. However, even though he knew that, it was useless in helping him leave the Hell World and return to the medium chiliocosm. The Martial Dao Prime Body’s heart skipped a beat as he suddenly asked, “You came from the Ghost World. Is there any way to head to the medium chiliocosm in the Ghost World?” The expression of the Void Yaksha changed, as though he had thought of something. However, he did not say anything. “Speak!” The Martial Dao Prime Body’s gaze was sharp as he caught that flash of movement on the Void Yaksha’s face. The Void Yaksha said, “If we were in the Ghost World, we might be able to descend into the medium chiliocosm through the method of sacrificial offerings.” The Martial Dao Prime Body nodded slightly. This was the only method of heading to the medium chiliocosm that he had heard so far. No matter what, he had to give it a try. “In that case, let’s head to the Ghost World first!” The Martial Dao Prime Body had already made up his mind. The Void Yaksha shook his head and pouted. “It’s a complete coincidence that I was able to arrive at the Hell World. It’s impossible for you to follow the Nine Springs of Hell and swim against the current to enter the Nether River before finding the tributary of the Nether River and entering the Ghost World through the River of Life!” “It’s not that I want to discourage you, but with your human bloodline and physique, you’ll die inside the Nether River if you enter. You won’t be able to return alive, let alone find the River of Life through a long period of drifting before entering the Ghost World.” The Martial Dao Prime Body was silent. In reality, he knew very well that the success rate of this method was indeed low, let alone the danger. However, no matter what, he had to give it a try. “Let him go.” The expression of the Martial Dao Prime Body changed as he gestured for Hell Lord Bitter Springs to remove the chains on the Void Yaksha. “Master.” Hell Lord Bitter Springs said in a low voice, “This beast is unreasonable and unruly. The chains on his body are still intact. How about I hand the other end of the chains to you?” Hell Lord Bitter Springs was not worried that the Martial Dao Prime Body could not subdue the Void Yaksha. However, given the methods of the Void Yaksha, he could appear and disappear unpredictably. If he wanted to escape, no one would be able to suppress him. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶 “There’s no need.” The Martial Dao Prime Body waved it off with a calm expression. Hell Lord Bitter Springs hesitated for a moment but still listened to the arrangements of the Martial Dao Prime Body. He released Dharmic arts and released the chains on the Void Yaksha one after another. After regaining his freedom, a look of excitement flashed through the depths of the Void Yaksha’s eyes! “Can you still walk?” The Martial Dao Prime Body asked. The Void Yaksha grinned and nodded. There was not much flesh left on his ankle except for two thick ankle bones. However, the Void Yaksha still followed closely behind the Martial Dao Prime Body. At first, his footsteps staggered. Before long, the rotten flesh on the Void Yaksha’s ankle and wrist had already begun to fall off and new flesh appeared. This Ghost King Void Yaksha was recovering at a visible speed!
