Actually, the territory of the Netherworld is vast, and its population surpasses that of the Three Realms combined.
Therefore, the number of cultivators in the Netherworld far exceeds that in the Three Realms.
Moreover, the inhabitants of the Netherworld are those who have died in the Mortal World, Immortal Realm, Demon Realm, and Devil Realm.
Before reaching the Heavenly Immortal Realm, their memories cannot awaken, leading to very slow cultivation in the early stagesâsome may never reach it in their lifetime.
If one in a thousand can reach the Heavenly Immortal Realm, itâs considered exceptional.
Thus, the quantity of cultivators is the highest in the Netherworld.
However, at present, Xu Nian must have joss paper to enter Heavenly Thunder City.
But Xu Nian doesnât have any Netherworld currency, so he can only give up.
Just as Xu Nian was preparing to leave, a voice sounded.
"Iâll pay for him." A woman walked over and spoke to the guard.
Xu Nian looked at the woman in surprise.
This womanâs cultivation was still at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.
Behind her was an elderly man.
The old manâs cultivation was somewhat higher, having reached the Earth Immortal Realm.
Seeing their cultivation, Xu Nian couldnât help recalling when he was in the Cultivation World.
Back then, he seemed just as weak.
Of course, at that time, there were no experts above Earth Immortal in the Cultivation World, so he didnât feel this kind of weakness.
"Hello, my name is Qin Xue; Iâm from the Qin Family in Heavenly Thunder City." The woman stepped forward and said to Xu Nian.
Xu Nian looked at the woman in front of him.
He found that while her looks werenât stunning, they were decent.
The most important thing was her distinctly heroic spirit.
"Xu Fenn!" Xu Nian replied.
"Come with me; follow me inside!" The woman said to Xu Nian.
After speaking, she headed into the city.
Xu Nian naturally followed her.
Although he didnât know why this woman would help him.
However, someone at the cultivation stage couldnât pose any threat to Xu Nian.
After all, their strength wasnât just slightly perceivable.
Soon, Xu Nian followed the woman into the city.
The Heavenly Thunder City wasnât much different from the cities in the Immortal Realm, except for the larger population.
The number of people here is three times that of the Immortal Realm.
"Brother Feng, I see that we arenât too far apart in age; would you mind if I call you Brother Feng?" the woman asked Xu Nian.
"Of course not. But Iâm curious about how old you are?" Xu Nian asked curiously.
"Three thousand years old. Youâre probably around four or five thousand, right?" Qin Xue looked at Xu Nian and said.
"Four or five thousand? Something like that!" Xu Nian smiled awkwardly.
He was not yet two hundred years old, so how could he be four or five thousand? But saying the reality now would certainly attract attention, given the slow cultivation in the Netherworld.
"By the way, Brother Feng, what brings you here?" Qin Xue curiously asked.
"Iâm just passing through; I usually practice in remote places and have just come out to explore. Iâm not very familiar with the things around here and want to know more." Xu Nian said.
"I see. Then youâve certainly found the right person. My Qin Family is the largest family in Heavenly Thunder City and one of the top three families in the Qing State area. If you have any questions, I should be able to answer them." Qin Xue said with a smile.
Xu Nian nodded.
"Is the Netherworld governed by the Netherworld Lord?" Xu Nian asked.
"Yes, the Netherworld Lord oversees the entire Netherworld, though the Lord rarely intervenes in Netherworld affairs, which are mostly handled by the Netherworld God Temple," Qin Xue replied.
"Besides the Netherworld Lord, are there any other Daluo God Level experts?" Xu Nian asked.
"Luo God? Of course, besides the Netherworld Lord, there are three Daluo Gods in the Netherworld, who sit as the three main priests under the Netherworld Lord, jointly managing the entire Netherworld God Temple. These are common knowledge in the Netherworld, and you didnât know this; it seems youâve really been in seclusion all this time," Qin Xue said.
Xu Nian smiled awkwardly.
"Are there many experts above Divine-level in the Netherworld?" Xu Nian asked.
"Not many; itâs said there are one hundred and eight gods and over nine hundred Divine-level experts," Qin Xue said.
"So many?" Xu Nian exclaimed in surprise.
Over nine hundred Divine-level, more than one hundred Gods, and four Daluo Gods?
This powerful force could destroy the entire Three Realms.
But these Divine-level experts would be suppressed by the Heaven and Earth Laws if they entered the Sealing God Battlefield or the Three Realms.
They can only maintain the Perfect Level of Nether Emperor cultivation.
But even if they use the laws, which are at the law level, theyâd still be stronger than ordinary Nether Emperor Perfection Level experts.
"How many provinces are there in the Netherworld?" Xu Nian asked.
"The Netherworld has a total of thirty-six provinces, with Qing State being considered small," Qin Xue said.
Xu Nian nodded.
Thirty-six provinces in total?
It seems the territory of the Netherworld is indeed vast.
As for whether Qing State has Divine-level experts, Xu Nian doesnât need to think about it.
Surely, it does!
"Brother Feng seems quite interested in Divine-level experts. To be honest, the Qin Family Ancestor is also a Divine-level expert, albeit in the early stage. Itâs precisely because of the ancestorâs presence that our Qin Family holds such a position in Qing State," Qin Xue said proudly.
Xu Nian was somewhat surprised.
So the Qin Family has a Divine-level expert?
It seems he has found the right person this time.
With his current strength, trying to meet the Netherworld Lord might not even be possible.
So before that, the best way is to find a Divine-level expert and have them introduce him.
Even if they canât introduce him, a Divine-level expert would know more about the Netherworld.
"Brother Feng, our Qin familyâs branch is right within the city. If you have no place to go, why not come with me? Let me extend some hospitality." Qin Xue said.
"Miss!" The elderly man who had been following immediately wanted to speak.
But Qin Xue stopped him.
Xu Nian was slightly puzzled.
Why did Qin Xue invite him?
"Brother Feng must be curious why I paid for you and invited you to my home?" Qin Xue said with a smile.
"Yes, I have this question," Xu Nian said.
"Itâs actually simple. Just now outside the city, I observed Brother Feng, noting how clear your eyes are, suggesting youâve awakened to your past and present life. If Iâm not mistaken, you should have the strength of a Heavenly Immortal, right?" Qin Xue said.
"Heavenly Immortal?" The Earth Immortal elder was stunned.
He clearly didnât expect the young man before him had already reached Heavenly Immortal strength.
Heavenly Immortal?
Xu Nian found it amusing.
Yet, Xu Nianâs smile only reinforced Qin Xueâs belief.
"Even if Iâm a Heavenly Immortal, what does this have to do with your invitation?" Xu Nian asked.
"Brother Feng might not know, but my Qin Familyâs branch in Heavenly Thunder City only has my father reaching the Heavenly Immortal realm. Now, my father is severely injured, and only a Heavenly Immortal can save him, so..." Qin Xue said.
Xu Nian immediately understood.
"Then lead the way!" Xu Nian replied with a smile.
Qin Xue was instantly delighted upon hearing this.
