Chapter 843: Chapter 838 Destruction Part 2

After crossing several teleportation formations, when they were close to the Underworld, Lin Xin finally saw the human presence gradually increasing.

The passenger flow in some nearby large-scale teleportation formations suddenly surged.

It seemed that many people, like him, were teleporting towards the Underworld.

He understood that it should be some elite families relocating their core disciples after receiving news.

Compared to ordinary planes and worlds, the Holy Lands of the Heavenly Venerable and Earth Immortals were obviously much safer.

So these teleportation formations should be leading to various Holy Lands.

He stood on the teleportation formation dedicated to Green Lake Mountain, his gaze passing through the staff maintaining and guarding the formation, landing straight on the large teleportation field in the distance.

There were so many teleportation formations densely packed that they looked like fields, this was the so-called teleportation field, a new teleportation mode developed in recent years.

It was primarily used to mass transport military supplies.

But now, it was being used to transport disciples of elite families.

The spot where Lin Xin stood was the most prestigious and highest point of Weir Mountain on this star. It was the best location selected by the Heavenly Alliance for teleportation on this star.

Around the mountain top were densely packed teleportation fields, with numerous white teleportation lights constantly flashing and extinguishing.

The two guards maintaining the formation knelt on the ground, not daring to look at Lin Xin.

Even with the strong defensive protections around the formation, their cultivation levels were such that if they dared to look directly at Lin Xin, there was a significant risk of temporary blindness and soul shock.

"Where are these ox carts heading?"

Lin Xin looked at the ox carts of the elite families on the right side, gradually entering the teleportation light pillar, and asked casually.

"Reporting to the master, most of these people are heading to the territory of Sherie Divine Monarch — the Underworld, to the surrounding Nether Cities."

One of the cultivators responded respectfully.

"Underworld Nether City?" Lin Xin raised his eyebrows, realizing that most of them were heading to his territory.

"Yes." The guard cultivator quickly organized the information. "Since last month, large numbers of elite families’ disciples and commoner geniuses have been heading to the Underworld Nether City daily. There, an annual Void Selection is held; anyone with significant talent, background, or strength can have the opportunity to join the Underworld Nether City."

"I recall that the territory of the Underworld isn’t large, can it accommodate so many people joining?" Lin Xin didn’t expect the Void Selection in the Underworld to have such an impact, he was somewhat pleasantly surprised.

"The master may not know." The cultivator continued. "The Underworld is indeed not large, although it continues to expand, the actual number of people it can accommodate is at most ten million. We’ve also calculated this privately.

But among these ten million people, aside from the twenty thousand original residents who have obtained the residency qualification, the majority must be selected and supplemented from outside."

"Lin Senior Brother missed a point." Another female cultivator maintaining the formation didn’t want to let her companion shine alone and quickly found an opportunity to speak.

"The accommodation capacity of the Underworld was ten million, but after last year’s reassessment, it can now support twenty million.

The area is comparable to a small world.

Moreover, the Void Selection offers commoners a great opportunity to leap like carp over the dragon gate, which is extremely rare in other Holy Lands. That’s why it attracts so much attention here."

"I see." Lin Xin nodded.

"What are the selection criteria? Do you know?"

"As long as one’s cultivation reaches Nascent Soul, or has a background with direct lineage Fifth Rank cultivator, they can directly apply for the heart and mind assessment, and join."

"Additionally, the qualifications must be Fifth Rank Spirit Vein or Pureblood. After rigorous testing, they can also join. If they can’t pass, they can participate in the Nether City’s selection. The conditions there are slightly lower, though the treatment is somewhat inferior, it’s still better than being a wandering ghost."

Both tried to prove their worth eagerly, those who remained until now without leaving were those who fared poorly among their sect brothers and sisters.

If they didn’t seize this chance, when the major cataclysm arrives, turning into ashes, they couldn’t blame anyone.

Lin Xin glanced at their qualifications, not bad, both had Fourth Rank Spirit Veins. He casually sent out two spiritual light imprints, which landed on them.

"After maintaining here, today you can report to the Nether City."

"Thank you, master!!"

Both faces showed extreme joy.

Finally, after looking at the bustling crowd and the dense human presence, Lin Xin paused slightly, the teleportation formation was activated instantly, wrapping him in white light, disappearing within the formation.

***********************

Northern Starfield.

Jiu Se Palace.

Jiu Se Divine Lord Yin Chuan sat cross-legged on a white jade meditation cushion, playing with a semi-transparent blue dagger. His visage showed a faint smile. He waved off the maids and servants nearby, his gaze directed forward.

Opposite him sat a tall man in a black robe, face unseen.

The man’s face under the black robe hood was unseen, only a twisting black mist rotating.

"Why did you provide false information to Green Lake Mountain? The major cataclysm has clearly erupted." The man asked in a deep voice.

"Even if I provided false information, the sect wouldn’t be so fragile." Jiu Se slightly squinted his eyes at the black-cloaked man.

"Just because you showed me favor, do you think I will repay the sect with all my might? Don’t be ridiculous. I, Jiu Se, have survived numerous catastrophes, even without Green Lake Mountain, I have ways to rise smoothly; an Abyssal Realm Artifact is a favor worth acknowledging."

"But you didn’t have to give them false information." The black-cloaked man said.

"What’s the matter? Is your Evil God King starting to worry about Green Lake Mountain’s affairs?" Jiu Se was slightly displeased.

"Because of your actions, we need to change too many places. The Divine King’s Hall is somewhat dissatisfied with you." The black-cloaked man replied.

"So what?" Jiu Se Divine Lord laughed. "Green Lake Mountain doesn’t appreciate my demands; I asked them for the Taoist Ancestor Origin three times, yet they still haven’t replied. Without giving the universe a lesson, they won’t understand the current situation.

They rely on me, and I don’t need them."

The black-cloaked man sighed inwardly.

Future Buddha’s reincarnation is indeed domineering, those who align with him flourish, those who do not face his wrath.

He was somewhat concerned whether joining forces with the Divine King’s Hall was right.

Green Lake Mountain had nurtured him with great effort, and yet this was the return...

"The valve has been opened by the River Keeper. If you, Divine Lord, don’t wish to act, then everyone must fend for themselves."

The black-cloaked man sighed.

"The waves sift the sand, survival of the fittest. Why should I fight for the so-called lives of the masses? What do they count as?!" Jiu Se mocked, "The shattering of the operating lotus is merely the reshaping of a new void. The weak are the food for the strong, those without ability should die."

"Then, I will go back and relay your decision to the master Divine King." The black-cloaked man stood up, respectfully bowed to him.

"Go, if you are late, you may not return." Jiu Se placed the dagger on the table without looking at him.

**************************

In the void, Lin Xin gazed quietly at the enormous black-yellow plane rotating slowly before him.

The vast Underworld, surrounded by three smaller Nether Cities.

Compared to the beginning, the size of the Underworld had unknowingly grown many times larger.

This was due to both the improvement of True Yuan cultivation and the constant absorption and attraction of floating land and stone by the Underworld residents.

Currently, it had formed an extremely large organizational system.

Managed directly by his deity soul avatar in the Underworld.

Whoosh!

Two figures suddenly appeared beside Lin Xin and knelt before him.

"Master!"

"Is everything prepared?"

Lin Xin asked casually.

"Everything is ready, the selection assembly has ended, the crowd is quickly decreasing, but many cultivators are still gathered on the other end of the teleportation formation, hoping to join the Nether City." One figure was Lin Xin’s closed-door disciple Zhao Wumian.

The other was Lu Li.

"How is the Nether City?"

"The Shadow Realm’s Warden King and other City Lords, along with their family cores, have arrived. Additionally, many Fourth Rank and above scattered cultivator leaders from the Shadow Realm have been absorbed." Lu Li responded calmly.

"Good." Lin Xin nodded lightly. "As the major cataclysm erupts, creatures suffer. We must do what we can do adequately.

Also, how are the supplies?"

"Large quantities of grain have been stored on a dedicated site, but since master instructed to avoid using space equipment, they occupy a large area." Zhao Wumian quickly answered.

"It’s fine, during the major cataclysm, the space itself is unstable. If space equipment is used and an incident occurs, it’s a dead end."

"Master, some far-off cultivator families wish to enter the Underworld and have submitted applications. Disciple dares not make a decision, requesting master’s resolution." Zhao Wumian respectfully took out a Jade Slip, presenting it with both hands.

Lin Xin reached out, the Jade Slip floated into his hand, its surface flashing blue, a large amount of information flooded his mind.

"Hmm... them..."

The first line of the Jade Slip’s content surprised him.

’Yueyang Lin Family: Family Head with over a thousand members waiting at the teleportation formation to apply for entry into the Underworld.’

***********************

Eternal Start Star, deep within the far eastern mountain range.

Outside the Underworld teleportation formation.

In the snow-covered valley, a large group of men and women in light yellow outfits were blocking the entrance, arguing fiercely with the guards.

"I tell you! Our Yueyang Lin Family is the family of Lin Yaoyang, wife of Sherie Divine Monarch! You servants dare block the master’s family? Do you all want to live?!"

An elderly man with a cane gasped angrily.

"No matter how estranged, blood is thicker than water. As elders of the Divine Monarch’s wife, how can we not qualify to enter the Underworld?!"

Another old woman yelled harshly.

"Fourth Brother, why waste words with these servants, let’s force our way in, see who dares to stop us!

This is the Lin Family’s territory, let’s see who dares to strike us here?!"

The old woman was short but had a fiery temper.
