By the ti Sun Wukong and his four companions reached the South City Gate, the area outside the gate was already packed with people. It was no surprise to the five of them; based on their earlier pace, it was impressive that they hadn’t arrived late. Once the five of them had found a spot within the crowd, the space overhead suddenly fluctuated, and a domineering gate appeared out of nowhere.
As soon as the gate materialized, it slowly began to open by itself.
Then, an attractive man with a smile on his face appeared, seated on a cluster of star clouds, visible to everyone below! So people with sharp eyes recognized that this man was none other than Yue Huangquan, the revered ruler of the Netherworld World!
As soon as Yue Huangquan appeared, the crowd erupted into fervent excitent! For those who had been living in the Netherworld World for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years, the Tyrant Moon Netherworld was their true god! Regardless of how cruel the Netherworld World could be, it was undeniable that its existence gave them hope for resurrection.
Even those for whom resurrection was hopeless had already adapted to life in the Netherworld World. Here, there were no worries about lifespans or starvation, and one could achieve eternal life as long as they were careful not to be devoured by beings more powerful than themselves.
Thus, Yue Huangquan had always been revered and respected by the vast majority of the Netherworld World’s inhabitants. After the cheering died down a bit, Yue Huangquan still had a smile on his face as he waved his hand and announced loudly, "You are all the pride of my Netherworld World. I hope that one day you will fight for the Netherworld World.
Now, the Supre Pool is officially opened for one year. I wish all of you the best of luck!"
After finishing his speech, he waved his large sleeve, and the Bronze Gate that hung in mid-air suddenly landed on the ground. Looking at the massive Bronze Gate, Sun Wukong and his companions were sowhat taken aback. Were they supposed to walk through this Bronze Gate?
Seeing both Sun Wukong and Xi Zhao looking perplexed, Caoi stood atop the puppet White Tiger, adopting the pose of a know-it-all, pointed at the Bronze Gate, and said, "Charge, Xiao Bai! The Supre Pool is finally open, we’re in for a treat now!" The mont her words fell, the puppet White Tiger turned into a streak of white light and dashed toward the Bronze Gate.
However, since Caoi had been standing on the White Tiger’s back, the sudden acceleration caused her to tumble off!
Rubbing her forehead and teary-eyed, Caoi pointed at the puppet White Tiger, now a streak of white light, and finally burst into tears! Watching Caoi’s antics, Sun Wukong and his companions wanted to laugh but dared not, stifling their amusent. At that mont, Xi Zhao suddenly kicked Fla God’s behind.
Fla God, who had been holding back a laugh, couldn’t contain himself when kicked by Xi Zhao, and a snort of laughter escaped as he let go of his mouth.
The previously wailing Caoi stopped crying the mont she heard soone laugh and glared angrily at Fla God!
When the Bronze Gate landed, all 2,800 people simultaneously moved forward. Despite the large number, there was no crowding because even if you pushed to the front, after entering the Bronze Gate you would be automatically transported to your assigned spot.
Each person had an identification plaque that not only bore their identity but also the rank they achieved during the trials on the Desolate Island. Upon entering the Supre Pool, individuals would be transported to the positions corresponding to their trial ranks inscribed on their plaques.
Because Fla God had let out a laugh after being kicked, under the combined threats of Sun Wukong, Xi Zhao, and Caoi, the unfortunate Fla God resigned to acting as a mount, carrying Caoi alongside the others through the imnse Bronze Gate.
As Sun Wukong, his companions, and the fox stepped through the Bronze Door, they were enveloped in a field of orange light which vanished with them at an incredible speed. As soon as their feet touched the ground again, the orange glow that had wrapped around them suddenly shattered.
What appeared before everyone’s eyes was not the expected pool or lake bottom, but rather an ancient and elegant room. The room’s furnishings were very simple, containing only eight ditation mats and no beds, tables, or chairs.
While Sun Wukong and his companions surveyed their surroundings, Caoi suddenly said, "This is the Third Layer, the area where we can move about for the next year. The trials will start in just half a Chinese Hour, so familiarize yourselves quickly, and don’t mind !"
Having said that, Caoi promptly opened a window in the room and leaped out. The others, puzzled by Caoi’s peculiar behavior, hadn’t had ti to react when, suddenly, the little fox also sprang out of the window!
Staring at the open window, they were sowhat confused. Wasn’t it said that they couldn’t leave this room? What was going on with those two? Perplexed, the three approached the open window and peered out.
But what lay outside seed to be a night sky, dark with countless twinkling stars. It felt as though the room was floating in an endless void. Where had Caoi and the little fox, who had just jumped out, gone?
This series of events had left the three of them sowhat baffled. Although Xi Zhao was well-inford and had seen much, the Netherworld World had always been a mystery, and even Xi Zhao did not know much about it.
However, judging by Caoi’s deanor, it seed unlikely that anything bad would happen. She appeared very familiar with this place, and although the little fox was playful, she was not one to recklessly court disaster. Thus, the three of them decided not to worry too much.
They didn’t close the window, because they were afraid that if they did, Caoi might not be able to get back in when she returned. They walked around the room, but there was actually not much to see. The room was just that size, and extrely empty, not only devoid of any furniture but also lacking doors.
The walls around them, apart from the window through which Caoi had leaped out, were bare and as rudintary as could be. Each person chose a cushion and sat down cross-legged on the floor, since this was the Supre Pool—cultivating here must certainly feel different. However, after ditating for a quarter of a Chinese hour, all three opened their eyes simultaneously.
With surprised looks in their eyes, their minds were once more filled with doubt. Because they had discovered that the soul power or spiritual energy in this space was no different from the outside world, with only a slightly greater concentration of elental forces, but even that was very limited. What was going on? Had they been deceived? Was this place really not the Supre Pool?
Cultivating here seed no different from doing so outside.
Just when the three were about to say sothing, they suddenly felt an extrely dense heaven and earth pressure along with cosmic laws sweeping over them like a blanket. More precisely, these surged from below directly towards the heavens.
Caught off guard, all three were pinned to the ground by the pressure and the power of the laws, unable to move. After this outburst of pressure and law power, a complete variety of elents, laws, and even so strange energies thoroughly perated this small space.
It was only then that the three suddenly rembered Caoi saying that it would start in half an hour before she broke through the window. They hadn’t paid attention at the ti because of their concern for Caoi, but now they realized—did the Supre Pool actually have a ti limit?
In the midst of these ocean-like diverse forces and laws, the three were truly astonished. They had not expected that there was such a peculiar place in the universe, where law power gushed forth as if it were free for the taking.
Normally, one would accumulate soul power to a certain level up to Six Patterns and then undergo a purification by the laws, consequently receiving a kind of law power. But now, various interdiate, high level, and top-level laws were everywhere, allowing one to directly attract whatever power they desired with just a thought, although whether they could refine it depended on their own talent.
So people with unique talents would even take this opportunity to replace all the cosmic laws they had comprehended during previous advancents with high-level or even top-level laws.
The laws they chose not only had a higher grade and attributes more suited to them, but also made it easier to rge the Nine Paths when it was ti to ascend to Nine Patterns Supre. However, such people were extrely rare, and only those with devilishly high potential could manage such a defiant feat.
However, many did not opt for a complete replacent, choosing only to replace the first three laws, like the Demon Emperor Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi of Battle Demon City. Geniuses who replaced the first six laws included the Nether Ghost King and the King of Qin from Cangng.
As for those who completed the replacent of all nine laws, there were only three known cases—the Netherworld Guardian, the lord of Supre City, and the master of Inner City who ranked first among the ten Inner City lords.
But once this Supre Pool session ends, that number might just have to be updated!
Because Sun Wukong, Xi Zhao, and the Fla God, they all planned to replace all the laws they had comprehended!
A complete transformation of the Nine Paths!
