The instant Xiao Yue fell into the netherworld's netherworld netherworld's netherworld's netherworld's water, he knew that he had been tricked!

Looking down from the Bridge of Helplessness, the Yellow Springs seemed to be crystal clear. However, when Xiao Guanzhen arrived in the water, he realized that the water was dark green. With a single glance, how could he see the bottom of the water? And because of the color of the water, Xiao Yue had an illusion: he thought that the river below was so clear that the bottom could be seen. In fact, not only was the river murky, it was actually extremely muddy!

Realizing that he had been tricked by Faint Blue Orchid, Xiao Yue hurriedly circulated the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique in an attempt to escape from the water. Unexpectedly, without using any profound arts, Xiao Yue's Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique was activated, and the surrounding water suddenly became viscous in the blink of an eye. The river was like grease, tightly sticking Xiao Jean to the water. How could he move?

However, what made Xiao Yue even more desperate was that while the Nine Revolutions Mystical Technique was circulating, the dark blue river water that was like oil was actually also rapidly eroding the True Essence within Xiao Yun's body! At this moment, Xiao Yun's true essence loss was much greater than when he used the Samadhi True Fire to burn essence, energy, and soul!

Terrified by this situation, Xiao Yun hurriedly stopped the circulation of the Nine Revolutions profound Art. Unexpectedly, just as the profound arts retreated, Xiao Jean's body abruptly sank. There seemed to be a huge invisible suction force at the bottom of the River of Styx that was pulling Xiao into the river. Once he sank to the bottom of the river, even with Xiao Yun's mastery of the Nascent Soul stage, he would drown in the river.

Helpless, Xiao could only circulate the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique again to temporarily resist the suction force coming from the riverbed. However, this was only a way to stall for time. According to the speed at which the Yellow Springs devoured Xiao Jin's True Essence, Xiao Yan's True Essence would be completely depleted in the time it took for an incense stick to burn. At that time, Xiao Yun would not be able to avoid the end result of sinking into the river!

Gradually, most of the primeval essence in Xiao Yan's body had been consumed by the Yellow Springs, but Xiao Yan's body was filled with the corroded black, oily Yellow Springs. Although he wasn't clear on the nature of this black oil, just by the speed at which it was corroding primeval essence, Xiao Yue knew that if this thing was left in his body, the damage to his body would be unimaginably great.

In a moment of desperation, Xiao could only use his internal organs as the furnace to ignite the Samadhi True Fire, hoping to cleanse the Yellow Springs that had invaded his body. Even though water and fire were at odds with each other, the Samadhi True Fire was said to be able to extinguish anything. Thus, the moment the Yellow Springs in Xiao Yan's body met the Samadhi True Fire, it was instantly vaporized. However, though the Yellow Springs was clean, Xiao Yue's internal organs were now covered in a layer of purer black oil.

Just as that layer of black oil enveloped Xiao Yong's internal organs, Xiao Lian felt a surge in his sect. The Nascent Soul that was originally hidden in the spiritual altar actually showed signs of being pulled out of the spiritual altar! This feeling was not unfamiliar to Xiao Yue: this was the sign of karma being added to one's body!

Karma was a taboo for cultivators!

Once this item was equipped, not only would it corrode a cultivator's life origin soul, it would also attract countless inner demons. Regardless of whether one was a Heavenly Immortal or an ordinary cultivator, once the karma accumulated in one's body, one would be sent into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and be a hundred times more sinister than that Unnatural Soulreaper!

It had to be known that even the most vicious and tyrannical fiend would only have a little bit of karma accumulated within his body, and in the end would be dragged into the Six Paths of Samsara. What entered his eyes was just endless black water. Didn't that mean that the entire River Styx contained endless karma? However, this was clearly the netherworld's Yellow Springs. If there really was endless karma, then who would dare to pass through here?

"Disciple, you can go anywhere in this world, but there is only one place in your life that you must never step foot in. That is the River Styx's Weak Water! Once you get infected by the karma in the water, even if you have the cultivation of a Heavenly Immortal, you will be unable to escape this calamity! " At this moment, Xiao Jean suddenly remembered the words his cheap master had warned him in his dream.

"Could it be that this isn't the Nine Netherworld River that connects the yin and yang realms, but the legendary River Styx's Weak Water!?" Thinking of this, Xiao Yan felt like his soul had left his body.

One had to know that in the past when the buddhist path merged, even monkeys with peerless supernatural powers suffered in front of this weak water: 3,000 weak water depth, goose feathers floating up, the reed flowers sinking to the bottom! This was the River Styx's Weak Water, the water that not even the Tai Yi Golden Immortals dared to step into!

"You Lan, what grudge do you and I have? How dare you hurt me like this!" Xiao Yun couldn't help but shout towards the sky in fear.

It was just that at this moment, Xiao Yong's fleshly body had long since been corroded by karma, and even his Violet Palace Realm was faintly unable to protect him. After the grief and indignation was over, Xiao Yue had no choice but to face the dilemma of life and death once again.

"Three thousand weak water depth, right? Not even Celestial Immortals of the Great Firmament will be able to escape, right? I just can't believe this evil thing is happening!" After weighing the pros and cons, Xiao Jean gritted his teeth. At this moment, a golden light suddenly shone from Xiao Liang's Spiritual Altar. Immediately following it, a small, golden figure that was half an inch in size jumped out from within Xiao Shuren's Spiritual Altar. At this moment, Xiao Yun actually gave up on his physical body and wanted to use his Nascent Soul to escape.

However, Xiao Yong had underestimated the terror of the River Styx's weak water!

Just as Xiao Yong's Nascent Soul flew out from the Spiritual Altar, the karmic power that was originally attached to Xiao Ren's body seemed like maggots on the bones of the Tarsal Bone, and instantly broke away from his body, wrapping around his Nascent Soul. Without his physical body, how could Xiao Lian's Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique resist the suction force coming from the riverbed?

"I hate it!" Xiao Yue screamed in pain. In an instant, his Nascent Soul was sucked into the murky bottom of the river by a large wave of water …

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Yong's consciousness slowly returned. At this moment, Xiao Yun's originally pale golden Nascent Soul was dyed black by the endless karma.

However, Xiao Lian secretly thought that it was all a fluke! As long as his Nascent Soul was still alive, he still had a chance to escape.

However, when he looked at the thick layer of pitch black karmic energy around his nascent soul, Xiao Yong's heart sank once again. Just by looking at the degree of concentration of karma, not to mention a mere nascent soul cultivation, even the primordial spirit of a Heavenly Immortal should have long been dragged into the six paths of reincarnation! Xiao Yue's Nascent Soul, on the other hand, was extremely weak at this moment. It seemed to be on the verge of dissipating.

"Slurp, slurp …" Just as Xiao Yue was worrying, a strange noise suddenly came from the bottom of the river and entered Xiao Jean's ears.

"What is it?" Hearing this sound, Xiao Jin immediately became alert.

As Xiao Yun searched for the source of the sound, he found that not far from the weak river bottom and Xiao Long's Nascent Soul, there was actually a gigantic clam shell. And this strange snoring sound came from the clam shell.

"Could it be the thousand-year clam essence?" As this thought flashed through his mind, he immediately rejected it. Even Celestial Immortals wouldn't be able to flee from three thousand weak water streams. If it was truly a thousand-year clam essence, then it would have long been dragged away by the karma from the weak waters into the Six Paths of Samsara. How could it still survive?

Amazed, Xiao Yue's Nascent Soul hastily ran to the clam shell in order to see it clearly. He saw that the clam shell was entirely white, but the mouth of the clam shell was tightly shut. The situation inside was such that it was difficult to see clearly.

Xiao Yue tried to use his Nascent Soul to hit the clam shell, but who would have thought that the clam shell was so hard that Xiao Yun felt dizzy instead. Xiao Jin suddenly thought of the Samadhi True Fire. Now that Xiao Yue had lost his physical body, logically speaking, without the support of his Essence, Qi, and Spirit, he wouldn't be able to unleash the Samadhi True Fire.

However, Xiao Yong's Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique was different from ordinary cultivation methods. When Xiao Yun let the shattered core form into a Nascent Soul, Xiao Yun's Nascent Soul was formed from the Origin Energy of the Mysterious Nine Revolutions Technique. At this moment, Xiao Yue's heart suddenly became ruthless. The half-inch Nascent Soul suddenly bit its tongue, and a stream of golden blood sprayed onto the clam shell. Xiao Yun then activated the Samadhi True Fire, which was replenished by the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique. The fire immediately flared up.

After being burned by the Samadhi True Fire, the clam shell indeed showed signs of movement. The clam shell first lightly shook a few times, then the clam shell suddenly opened up, and the situation inside entered Xiao Yue's eyes in an instant!

Inside the giant clam shell, a three foot long dark green small beast was curling up. This small beast was completely covered in scales, and its appearance was somewhat similar to the legendary Pixiu, but it didn't have a horn on its head. Although the clam shell could not withstand the burning of the Samadhi True Fire and could not withstand Xiao Yan's attack, the little beast still clutched its head and slept soundly as if it did not notice.

After clearly seeing the appearance of this small beast, Xiao Yue was immediately overjoyed and delighted. "Indeed, there is no way out. I didn't expect that there would be a Water-Repellent Golden Eyes Beast hidden at the bottom of the River Styx!"
