Chapter 1232 The Nine Abyss Realms

?Ji Yuan pondered, "The Nine Abyss Realms? Below the desolate mists of the Celestial Realm? I have never heard of it before. I don't think anyone is able to enter so deep into the desolate mists. It is like another world down there."

The Celestial Realm is divided into the upper regions where the mountains rise above the blanket of desolate mists and below it, where much is unknown.

The celestial celestials only know that it is extremely treacherous below the desolate mists as it is a place that is full of desolate great beasts. The deeper that they go, the higher ranking the desolate beasts are. And it is even possible to encounter even the 8th and 9th desolate beasts, including the epic profound beasts!

Another reason why few cultivators would dare to venture deep for long was that the spiritual aura below is sparse, making regeneration of wounds and profound strength extremely difficult. Even a 7th realm sacred saint would easily die below the desolate mists.

Ji Yuan said, "Maybe the Great Immortal Rohan and the desolate immortals know about it. They have been hiding below the desolate mists for a long time."

The Great God Pangu smiled, "The lower regions of the Celestial Realm are actually 10 times bigger than the regions above the desolate mists."

Ji Yuan was startled, "Ten times bigger? How is it possible?"

To him, this was unimaginable big!

The Great God Pangu explained, "Have you ever seen the base of a mountain before?"

Ji Yuan slowly nodded, "I have seen it elsewhere in the other worlds."

The Great God Pangu smiled, "Then you will know that the base is always broad and the mountain peaks that you seen in the Celestial Realm are all just a fraction of the actual mountains. What you have seen is just the tip of an iceberg in the oceans!"

Ji Yuan laughed weakly, "Well, I have never seen an ocean before. Is it bigger than the biggest lake in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity? And how big can an iceberg be?"

The Great God Pangu stared weakly at Ji Yuan, "You didn't study a lot, right?"

Ji Yuan protested with a straight face, "I am a part time scholar too but I didn't read about these stuffs that you have just said."

Anyang could not resist adding for Ji Yuan: Part time scholar in studying the female cultivators.

Ji Yuan: …

The Great God Pangu laughed heartily before continuing, "Below the desolate mists are numerous chasms and valleys that reach all the way to the bottom. Just how deep it is? It is ten times taller than the tallest peak in the Celestial Realm…"

"Even taller than the Endless Mountains that border the Nine Celestial Fraternity?" Ji Yuan could not resist gasping with shock.

"That's right." The Great God Pangu said solemnly, "If you think that you have hit the bottom of the mountains below, it is merely just an illusion and it may be just the middle of a flat section of the mountains below. Even the rivers that you have seen, isn't an indication that you have reached the bottom. And if you go much lower, you will start to see oceans of lava that lit the darkness of the under mountains of the desolate mists. However, you are not yet at the bottom yet."

Ji Yuan's jaws dropped, "Not yet at the bottom yet?!"

He had actually explored below the desolate mists on numerous occasions and often months at a shot but he had never seen any oceans of lava; it was because it was difficult to trek down the mountains due to lack of trails and visibility. It was also because the mountains below were too vast.

The Great God Pangu nodded, "In order to reach the gates of the Nine Abyss Realms, you must first enter a subterranean world first, in which there are plenty of subterranean caverns and it can run hundreds of miles deep. And if you go deep enough into these subterranean caverns, you may be able to find the entrance to the Nine Abyss Realms."

All of a sudden Ji Yuan had a bad feeling about this and he quickly said, "Erm, Great God Pangu. I still I got a stomach ache. Please excuse me…"

The Great God Pangu had suddenly rooted Ji Yuan to the ground by patting him on his shoulder, "You can shit here and listen to me. I don't mind at all."

Ji Yuan: …

He weakly said, "I am a golden celestial so I don't need to shit. I mean my cultivation elixir sea is a little unstable right now so I need to go to a quiet place to stabilize it. Hahaha…"

The Great God Pangu ignored Ji Yuan's complaints and he began to say solemnly, "Even if we are immortals, the Nine Abyss Realms is off limit to us. It is because there is a true god of the Nine Abyssal Realms and she is the Philosopher Goddess. That is why I need you to bring us a Divine Philosopher Stone from the Nine Abyss Realms. This is to replace the artefact soul of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth. Surely you don't need think you can obtain the artefact soul of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth and then forget all about it? This is what you have owed us and to the Celestial Realm."

Ji Yuan said, "Erm, I don't understand. Aren't you the Creator of the Three Known Realms? How come you can't enter the Nine Abyss Realms? Surely a great true divinity like you can easily enter into the Nine Abyss Realm?"

The Great God Pangu explained patiently, "This Philiosper Goddess is a half-step true divinity and has since created a separate domain of her own deep in the recess of the under mountains of the Celestial Realm. This separate domain is the Nine Abyss Realms and not even the Great Demon God can easily enter it."

Ji Yuan asked with a bitter look, "If the Great Demon God and you cannot even enter it, how can I even enter it?"

The Great God Pangu smiled, "It only prevent an immortal from entering it but you aren't an immortal despite your cultivation realm."

Ji Yuan said weakly, "This isn't a good idea, am I right? It may take me months to reach the bottom of the desolate mists. By then the Ancient Battleground of the Fallen Gods would have started. I may miss it."

The Great God Pangu said, "I can send you to the bottom of the desolate mists in an instant but you still have to explore the subterranean caverns to find a way to the Nine Abyss Realms."

Ji Yuan had suddenly turned solemnly and he had said coldly, "What if I say no to this?"

The Great God Pangu looked at Ji Yuan, "You dare to refuse me?"

Ji Yuan said firmly, "In normal circumstances, I wouldn't say no. But I have to go to the Ancient Battleground of the Fallen Gods. It is because the Great Beyond Goddess had told me that I may have a chance to see my Jiajia again. Even if you kill me on the spot, I will still want to go to the Ancient Battleground of the Fallen Gods to see my Jiajia!"

All of a sudden, the Great God Pangu began to sign heavily. "Do you have any idea how dangerous the Ancient Battleground of the Fallen Gods will be? You shouldn't go to that place in the first place."

Ji Yuan said unwaveringly, "I've already made up my mind to go there."

The Great God Pangu was startled as he stared at Ji Yuan but what he saw was a strong determination that would not waver even under his powerful gaze; the conviction in Ji Yuan's heart was extremely firm and he was not lying about this.
