The ghosts outside were actually all created here.
Although they are not perfect and nurous, they cannot inflict substantial harm on Duan Yun and the Murong brothers.
But that's because both of them are top martial artists, especially Duan Yun. If he were to claim the position of Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch and shout, "Who agrees? Who opposes?", no one would dare to object.
Even if they were angry, they wouldn't dare to speak up.
But if these ghosts were released into the Martial World, dealing with ordinary martial artists, it would be a sure thing.
The Stone God Mole Ghost in front would be responsible for targeting the groin, while the ghosts in the back would go for the heart and lungs, definitely causing a terrifying calamity.
Although the Murong brothers were less knowledgeable than Duan Yun, at this mont, he roughly understood what this place was for.
He couldn't help but recall the mouth in the Beautiful Ghost's groin and said, "That deadly mouth in the Beautiful Ghost's groin, could it have been installed just like this?"
Because at that mont, they had arrived in a room full of discarded mouths.
Sewing mouths to the groin for biting seed absurd initially, but here it beca very reasonable.
Looking at this room full of organs and those brains still gently pulsing in the yellow water, both of them felt a strange eeriness.
In the human realm, there are many sinister and terrifying descriptions of the Netherworld, like a thousand ghosts pulling carts, mountains of knives and seas of fire, and frying little ghosts.
This place clearly wasn't the legendary Netherworld; its appearance also exceeded Duan Yun and the Murong brothers' imagination, but they were sure that even the real Netherworld might not be as bizarre and strange as this.
Their discovery upon burrowing here was significant.
After all, it explained how the Beautiful Ghost and the Corpse Dragon ca into being.
Evidently, the Ghost Mother not only mastered astonishing martial arts here but also acquired the thod of creating ghosts.
This also explains the reason why the Ghost Mother's lair had remained undiscovered for so many years.
Ghost Mother's skills are astonishing; even martial arts Grandmasters couldn't latch onto or follow her, but her army of hundred ghosts, while bizarre, was not invincible.
For instance, the Beautiful Ghost and the head-chopping imp would likely suffer if they t the Murong brothers alone.
By rights, Ghost Mother also has many enemies; if so little ghosts were captured and tortured, or asures like those of Duan Yun were used, sothing should've been found out.
But no.
From this, it can be seen that those ghosts were all born here, and their brains might have been raised in this pool.
Ghost Mother likely has ans to control their minds, making it possible for them to self-destruct under pressure.
The two of them circled around fiercely, still exclaiming with wonder.
Such an oddity indeed existed underground.
Seeing the tal embedded in the red earth, Duan Yun felt that such a thing couldn't have been created by the local civilization.
Because all along, the human world remains in the realm of wuxia style, except for certain peculiar cases.
This peculiarity reminded him of a kind of existence.
Aliens.
Could this also be sothing left by alien civilization?
The Murong brothers asked, "What do we do now?"
Finding this place was a major discovery, but they were confused about what to do next.
This place seed abandoned; there were no visible doors or windows when glanced around.
Duan Yun looked around and said, "Keep looking, there should be a way out."
This place looked too much like a factory.
No matter how shady a factory, it should have doors; without doors, how would the materials and products get in and out?
But they circled around again, even scraping the red earth covering the tal with a blade, but still saw no doors or windows.
The entire factory seed isolated like an island in the mountain range.
At this point, Duan Yun recalled the mory he'd absorbed earlier and couldn't help but look at the pool with brains subrged in the yellow water.
In that mory, the yellow water provided a womb-like warmth to the brains.
If the brain was considered a yet-to-be-born infant, then this yellow pool leaned more towards amniotic fluid.
Only a portion of the pool was exposed; it was deep inside.
Duan Yun said, "Could it be in this water?"
The Murong brothers asked, "Are we going to go down there?"
Honestly, while he was not afraid of much, the sight of a pool full of brains made him a bit queasy.
Without a word, Duan Yun jumped in first.
The Murong brothers gritted their teeth and followed him closely.
In reality, this yellow water was clear; but because it was too deep, you really couldn't see the bottom.
Like the yellowing river outside, this water was also warm and nostalgic.
But even soone as sentintal as the Murong brothers couldn't bring themselves to reminisce in the face of the brains gently pulsating in the water.
Duan Yun continued diving, finding that the deeper he went, the higher the temperature of the yellow water beca.
Blub blub!
At this point, bubbles blubbed from below, as if a massive creature was sleeping beneath.
Along with the bubbles, a strong upward current ca rushing.
Duan Yun used Sword Qi to break through the flow, continuing his descent.
Then, he saw a hole.
A pitch-black, bun-like hole, constantly spewing water.
Duan Yun gestured to the Murong brothers, using his hands to signal: "This looks like a spring."
If this yellow water was indeed the Netherworld water, they had all the way found the Netherworld spring.
Duan Yun quickly moved a little closer.
By now, the water temperature likely exceeded one hundred degrees; while water usually couldn't get hotter, it seed this yellow water might have its exceptions.
Duan Yun covered his body with Protective True Qi to avoid getting scalded while continuing the investigation.
Vaguely, he noticed sothing near the spring.
Upon nearing it, he discovered it to be four ancient seal characters—"Yellow Eye Divine Water."
These words were even engraved here.
After circling around without any findings, he swam upwards.
Just as he regrouped with the Murong brothers, the Murong brothers made a new discovery.
They noticed a vague outline of a stone door on the cave wall.
There really was a door underwater.
The two swam rapidly towards it, seeing it was a thick and solid stone door, similarly inscribed with ancient seal characters.
But these characters were tiny, densely clustered, resembling runes.
Faced with this scene, both felt an illusion of sothing terrifying being locked inside, with the runes on the door serving as seals on it.
But here, the door had to be opened, whether it wanted to or not.
The two positioned themselves on each side and exerted force; the thick stone door began to open.
Behind the stone door was more yellow water, but cooler.
The two swam upwards along the cave entrance, feeling the water increasingly cooling.
From this, it's clear, the yellow water was indeed warm, getting hotter the nearer to the spring.
By this ti, both of them had light in their eyes.
Because by now, they saw stairs.
Stone steps leading outside, step by step.
There really was a way out here.
Swish swish.
By this ti, both had erged from the water.
The stone steps continued upwards, covered with visible moss above, while the walls on both sides were carved with various sculptures.
These sculptures depicted both fierce ghosts and Bodhisattvas riding elephants.
It was clearly a depiction of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva touring hell.
If the factory below was full of industrial vibes, giving Duan Yun a sense of sci-fi, at this mont, he felt he was back in ancient tis.
The eerie underground of ancient tis, possibly a real hell.
Two vastly different styles coexisted in the sa space, which should have been discordant, but here it seed perfectly natural.

The Murong brothers asked, "What do you think their posture looks like?"
Duan Yun said, "Like a parasite."
A hundred ghosts appeared, broken.
No heart.
My lungs!
"My heart!"
One person has a heart.
My lungs!
They all co for the heart and lungs!
Absorbing mories, where is the Ghost Mother?
Is there sothing inside?
Break through it, it's an artificial ghost factory.
Eating right now!
You're here!
Suspended in the air!
