Chapter 462: Entering the Realm of Oblivion!
TL: Etude
After Ye Tian had accepted the mission to collect Netherworld Stones in the Realm of Oblivion, a phantom spirit delivered three jade amulets to his hands.
These jade amulets were treasures capable of neutralizing the necrotic aura of the Realm of Oblivion. Any Prince who took on the mission to collect Netherworld Stones in the Realm of Oblivion would receive three amulets. This was to prevent accidents; if one of the amulets were to break, a new one could be replaced to ensure safety.
The Supreme Hall of Humanity did not wish for any Prince to fall, naturally striving to preserve the life of a Prince at all costs.
With the amulets in hand, Ye Tian summoned his steward, Ziya.
Ziya arrived shortly after.
“Ziya, I’m leaving the Supreme Hall of Humanity. Take me out of the Yellow region!” Ye Tian instructed.
“Master, are you going out?” Ziya was quite surprised.
It hadn’t been long since Ye Tian arrived at the Yellow region of the Supreme Hall of Humanity, and now he was leaving. Although the Supreme Hall of Humanity did not restrict the movements of Princes, many of them would stay within the Supreme Hall of Humanity for at least a decade before leaving, and some would even stay for hundreds of years.
This was because the cultivation of treasure lands within the Supreme Hall of Humanity itself were sufficient for these Princes to cultivate and ponder for many years, with no need to seek opportunities or undertake missions in the outside world.
Princes who frequently left the Supreme Hall of Humanity were generally those who had been there for a long time.
“Yes, I’ve taken on a mission!” Ye Tian explained the mission to collect Netherworld Stones in the Realm of Oblivion. Hearing this, Ziya immediately cautioned, “Master, in the past, this mission might not have been very dangerous. However, during this period, it’s likely that the Ghost Tribe will also dispatch some Princes to enter the Realm of Oblivion. Please be careful, Master!”
“Don’t worry!” Ye Tian smiled faintly.
Soon after, Ziya led Ye Tian out of the Yellow region, and they arrived at one of the exits of the Supreme Hall of Humanity.
Ziya could not leave the Supreme Hall of Humanity, so Ye Tian flew out alone, arriving at a small continent outside the Supreme Hall of Humanity.
Subsequently, Ye Tian left the great world where the Supreme Hall of Humanity was located through a teleportation formation.
Tianlan Giant City.
Ye Tian returned here once more.
Tianlan Giant City housed many teleportation gates, which could transport one to various star fields.
To reach the Realm of Oblivion, Ye Tian needed to pass through one of these teleportation gates.
The Realm of Oblivion was located at the border between the human and ghost tribes, a vast distance away. Without the teleportation gates, it would be impossible to reach.
Even Ye Tian’s six-star level cosmic spaceship wouldn’t be able to exit the human sacred territory.
Shortly, Ye Tian arrived at a grand teleportation hall.
At this time, many people were queueing to use the teleportation gates here, but those in line were primarily divine beings of the Great God level or higher.
With his talent copying ability, Ye Tian quickly spotted a few Planetary System-level powerhouses and a Galaxy-level powerhouse.
“It’s truly the human sacred territory, where one can casually encounter Galaxy-level powerhouses!” Ye Tian thought to himself.
Wearing one of the jade amulets, Ye Tian stored his cosmic spaceship and flew directly into the star.
Soon,
Ye Tian found the entrance to the Realm of Oblivion, which was a massive spatial rift.
Whoosh! Ye Tian flew into the spatial rift and was transported into the Realm of Oblivion.
Within the Realm of Oblivion,
The sky was gloomy, and the air was filled with extremely thin yuan qi, almost non-existent, replaced instead by the dense aura of necrosis.
This necrotic aura swarmed towards him, seemingly trying to penetrate Ye Tian’s body, but it was blocked by the jade amulet.
Ye Tian decided not to cultivate the second level of the Art of Immortality for now but to look for Netherworld Stones first.
He planned to find a safe place to cultivate the second level of the Art of Immortality after finding ten Netherworld Stones.
At this moment, Ye Tian recalled the introduction to Netherworld Stones he had seen in the Supreme Hall of Humanity.
Netherworld Stones, often born in extremely yin places, are formed over hundreds of millions of years and can be found at riverbeds, deep in forests, or within mountain ranges.
Netherworld Stones were difficult to find because treasure-hunting talents and equipment have a hard time detecting them due to the Netherworld Stones’ innate shielding ability, making them undetectable even to top-tier treasure-hunting talents.
The true Netherworld Stone is actually just a small core inside, with the exterior being Netherworld Iron that protects the Netherworld Stone. Netherworld Iron also serves as protection, preventing detection by treasure-hunting talents and divine consciousness.
Thus, finding Netherworld Stones relied on luck.
Many people entered the Realm of Oblivion and searched for several years, or even a decade, without finding a single Netherworld Stone.
Ye Tian couldn’t guarantee that he would find ten Netherworld Stones, and if he couldn’t, he would have to give up and turn to cultivating the second level of the Art of Immortality instead.
He gave himself a deadline of one year.
“I hope to find ten Netherworld Stones within a year!” Ye Tian hoped.
Aside from the necrotic aura, the Realm of Oblivion wasn’t much different from the outside world in other aspects. It also had rivers and forests, but the trees in those forests were unlike those in the outside world; they possessed no vitality but were instead necrotic trees, filled with a deathly aura.
These necrotic trees could not be taken out; even if forcibly removed, they would quickly turn to ashes without the nourishment of the necrotic aura, a very peculiar phenomenon.
Ye Tian continued to fly through the Realm of Oblivion, and after half an hour, he finally saw a long river.
The necrotic aura in this river was incredibly dense, far surpassing that of other areas.
Approaching this river, the jade amulet on Ye Tian’s body even began to tremble slightly.
If he really entered the river, his amulet might not hold up.
“The necrotic aura in the river is so dense that even the amulet can’t block it. It seems no one dares to enter the river. Logically, even if Netherworld Stones were to form at the bottom of the river, no one would be able to retrieve them,” Ye Tian suddenly thought.
Suddenly, he conceived a method to quickly obtain Netherworld Stones.
His target—the bottom of the river!
