2644 Nine Hells
"I'm from the Heavenly World."
The Martial Dao Prime Body had no intention of hiding his background and there was no need for that.
"Heavenly World?"
Tang Qing'er looked at the Martial Dao Prime Body in disbelief and asked, "Are you really from the Heavenly World? Is it the Heavenly World of the medium chiliocosm?"
The Martial Dao Prime Body nodded slightly.
"How is that possible?"
Tang Qing'er was still in disbelief. "I heard from my father that there's a powerful restriction barrier between the medium chiliocosm and the Hell World. Even experts who have cultivated to the Emperor realm won't be able to enter the Hell World."
"I only entered this place by some freak coincidence as well."
The Martial Dao Prime Body did not explain further.
He could not explain this clearly either.
Even he was puzzled and had countless questions in his mind.
"What was the Hell World you mentioned earlier on?"
The Martial Dao Prime Body sensed that there was an extremely important piece of information hidden in Tang Qing'er's words and asked, "Could it be that the Hell World doesn't belong to the medium chiliocosm?"
Under normal circumstances, the various worlds in the medium chiliocosm were separated by a boundless sea of stars.
Although cultivators had low cultivation realms and it was difficult for them to cross the starry skies, generally speaking, there were no so-called restrictions within the various worlds.
Even Perfected Immortals and Immortal Kings could enter other worlds, let alone Emperor experts.
It was unusual for such a restriction barrier to exist between the Hell World and the medium chiliocosm.
"Of course not."
Tang Qing'er said, "The Hell World is isolated from the medium chiliocosm and can be considered as an existence that's on par with the medium chiliocosm. It's both under the scope of the major chiliocosm."
When he heard that, the Martial Dao Prime Body's heart skipped a beat.
In the entire medium chiliocosm, there were three thousand worlds. The Heavenly World, Great Wilderness, Dragon World, Sword World, Parasol Tree World and so on belonged to the medium chiliocosm.
However, the so-called Hell World could stand side by side with the entire medium chiliocosm!
"The Frost Springs Hell we're in is merely a Hell in the Hell World."
Tang Qing'er continued, "In the entire Hell World, there are a total of Nine Hells. They are the Heavy Springs Hell, Yellow Springs Hell, Frost Springs Hell, Yin Springs Hell, Serene Springs Hell, Lower Springs Hell, Bitter Springs Hell, Boundless Springs Hell and the number one Hell that's located in the middle, Torment Springs Hell."
Nine Hells!
The Martial Dao Prime Body was secretly alarmed.
This Hell World was even more mysterious and shocking than he had imagined.
The North Ridge of Frost Springs Hell alone was comparable to the territory of the Heavenly World. What sort of a world was the entire Frost Springs Hell and even the Nine Hells?
Hell Suppression, Hell Suppression…
Could it be that the true intention of Great Emperor Infinite was to suppress the Nine Hells?
He recalled how the many living beings of Hell revealed immense hatred and hostility towards him when they heard that he was from the Heavenly World…
That guess was not impossible.
The Martial Dao Prime Body asked, "Why are the people here so hostile towards the upper world?"
Tang Qing'er said, "There are many theories. The Nether Qi of the Hell World has dried up over the years and cultivation has become increasingly difficult. Some people say that it has something to do with the upper world."
"Some people also said that the former Lord of Hell was suppressed by experts of the upper world an era ago."
When he heard that, the Martial Dao Prime Body's heart skipped a beat.
An era ago should have been the Infinite Era.
In Greater Avici, he had encountered two wills. Could one of them be the Lord of Hell?
If so, who was the other one?
Tang Qing'er continued, "Someone even said that in fact, we could have not lived in this dark and sinister Hell World and could have had a better environment outside. It was all because of the suppression and bullying of the living beings of the upper world that we were suppressed here all year round."
Pausing for a moment, Tang Qing'er smiled. "I don't know the exact reason either. In any case, the living beings of Hell are indeed extremely hostile towards the upper world. Don't casually reveal your identity or background."
"Since that's the case, why do you want to recruit me?"
The Martial Dao Prime Body asked.
He could sense that Tang Qing'er's attitude towards him was different from the other living beings of Hell. At the very least, she was not hostile.
Tang Qing'er said, "I've never been to the upper world nor have I come into contact with living beings of the upper world. Who knows what the upper world is like?"
"I'm only filled with curiosity about the worlds and living beings that I've never seen or come into contact with personally. There's no hatred."
"The reason why I recruited you was because I wanted to understand the upper world through you. I hope that you can tell me about it if there's a chance."
At that point, Tang Qing'er's eyes were filled with curiosity.
The Martial Dao Prime Body nodded.
While the two of them were sending voice transmissions with their spirit consciousnesses, the four of them had already arrived before North Ridge City.
When the guards at the city gate saw the badge on Tang Qing'er's waist, they revealed respectful expressions and bowed hurriedly to give way.
The four of them entered the city successfully.
The Martial Dao Prime Body walked through the largest city in the North Ridge and everything around him was novel.
This was a civilization completely different from the Heavenly World.
Be it the architectural style, the crowds that came and went, or even every single detail of the ancient city, everything revealed the dark style of Hell and its unique atmosphere.
The colors of Hell were rather monotonous.
Almost everything in the ancient city was matched with black and red. In the sinisterness, there was a hint of blood and terror.
As the birthday banquet of King North Ridge approached, North Ridge City looked festive as well.
There were many lanterns that shone with blood hanging on both sides of the streets. In the dark ancient city, it was as though an ancient ferocious beast had widened its bloodshot eyes!
Some cultivators had just hung up their lanterns when the Martial Dao Prime Body swept his gaze across and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Fresh blood was still dripping from beneath the lanterns, emitting a faint blood stench!
The lanterns were only put out after they were soaked in fresh blood.
Such a terrifying thing seemed extremely ordinary in this ancient city of the Hell World. Furthermore, it was perfectly compatible with the surroundings without any awkwardness.
The hierarchy in Frost Springs Hell was strict.
On the streets, only Hell Generals could walk boldly through the middle.
The narrow spaces on both sides of the streets were passages left for the many Hell Pawns to travel through.
As for the skies above the ancient city, one can only pass through at will under the lead of a Hell King expert!
Of course, among the four of them, because Tang Qing'er had a noble status and was the daughter of King North Ridge, no one stopped her from flying through the air.
"My, isn't that the little princess of the North Ridge?"
Not far away, a voice sounded with a hint of frivolity.
The four of them turned over.
Not far away, a large group of cultivators tore through the air. Their leader was dressed in jade green robes and played with two fireballs that burned with green flames.
This person's cultivation realm was merely that of a Hell General.
However, behind him stood a Hell King expert with a terrifying aura and eyes that seemed to be burning with green flames!
This young man looked like he had a high status.
