Chapter 309: Netherworld Heaven

Hearing Chen Xiao’s words, Xueye Canhua finally nodded.
“I wonder whom Senior Xueye wants me to find?” At this moment, Chen Xiao’s realm was that of a True God, and he had also reached the second level of the Free Heaven realm. His actual strength was comparable to that of a being at the fourth level of the Yuanling God realm.
Yet when facing Xueye Canhua, he still treated him as he had when they first met—like an ordinary person, yet also like an endless vast ocean.
Chen Xiao realized that Xueye Canhua’s strength likely exceeded his imagination. Initially, due to his low cultivation level, he thought Xueye Canhua was a Virtual God on the verge of breaking through to the True God realm, but he never expected Xueye Canhua’s cultivation to be far beyond his assumptions.
“Fortunately, I didn’t offend him back then; otherwise, it would have been troublesome.”
Chen Xiao sighed inwardly.
“Mingye,” Xueye Canhua said thoughtfully, “Xueye, Yuye, Qingye, and also the ancestor of the secretly hidden Anye family.”
“Mingye?” Chen Xiao frowned slightly. After becoming a candidate for guardian, he had learned many secrets. However, the three major families of the Superpower World—Xueye, Yuye, and Qingye—were not on the list of guardians. Yet, given Xueye Canhua’s strength, he would undoubtedly be among the strongest even among guardians. Chen Xiao felt that Xueye Canhua’s strength might even surpass that of the Heavenly Dragon Emperor.
So how powerful could these three major families be, including the founder of the secretly hidden Anye family?
“Could it be a True Spirit God?” Chen Xiao frowned further. Searching for a True Spirit God deep in the Superpower World was undoubtedly extremely dangerous. But he couldn’t refuse either, as he had already agreed when he obtained the Purple Sky Remnant Map.
“Never mind. I do have quite a few cards to protect myself now, and it’s not bad to make an ally who is at least a God King through this.”
Chen Xiao made up his mind secretly.
Xueye Canhua seemed to see through Chen Xiao’s thoughts. He shook his head slightly and then said, “Ancestor Mingye is actually not a god, and… I’m not a god either.”
Chen Xiao was stunned.
The next moment, a jade talisman appeared in Xueye Canhua’s hand and was handed to Chen Xiao.
“Inside this jade talisman is a trace left by Ancestor Mingye. If you carry this talisman and go ten thousand miles away from Ancestor Mingye, you’ll be able to sense him.” Xueye Canhua sighed in relief and then said, “Our identities are too special to enter the depths of the Godfall Lands, so we have no choice but to trouble you.”
With that, Xueye Canhua even bowed slightly to Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao took the jade talisman and nodded slowly.
“Also,” Xueye Canhua spoke again. Another ring appeared in his hand. “This is considered your reward.”
Chen Xiao instinctively took the ring, knowing that it was likely a spatial artifact. He refused it not.

“Aren’t you afraid I’ll take the items and not do anything?” Chen Xiao chuckled. Suddenly, he remembered that Hunter’s Guild from before. “What’s in this ring already belongs to you; you’ll get it sooner or later.” Xueye Canhua shook her head. “If you really take the items and don’t do anything, it can only be said that we misjudged the person—even the Great Immortal misjudged him.” “…” Chen Xiao was speechless. He understood that Xueye Canhua had come to him, probably with the Great Immortal’s involvement as well. “I’m entrusting you with the task of finding the Ancestor,” Xueye Canhua said, a sly smile appearing on her face. “Moreover, it seems that if you find the Ancestor, you might also discover the whereabouts of your parents.” After saying that, Xueye Canhua slowly dissipated into the air, as if she had never been there. “The whereabouts of my parents…” Chen Xiao stared at the spot where Xueye Canhua disappeared, muttering to himself. Then, he slowly poured his mental energy into the ring in his hand. “This is…” The next moment, a hint of joy appeared on Chen Xiao’s face. Inside the ring was a fragment of the Heavenly Map—just a palm-sized piece, completely black, containing infinite powers of the Netherworld. It was a fragment of the Netherworld Map, which featured the nine great celestial shadows. Without hesitation, Chen Xiao used the power of the Heavenly Map to integrate this fragment into the Netherworld Shadows. Instantly, after the Purple Sky, the Free Sky, and the Sky of Sorrow, another cultivation method of the Netherworld appeared. However, the Netherworld was the weakest of the four major heavens at that time. But now, although Chen Xiao was at the level of the Free Sky, he could cultivate the other two heavens—the Sky of Sorrow and the Netherworld—using their powers. As soon as the fragment of the Sky of Sorrow was incorporated into the Heavenly Map, a pure force of the Netherworld, representing death and darkness, flowed into Chen Xiao’s body. This force was even purer than the power of the Death Lord. “Hm? Death Dance actually has some attributes of the Netherworld. No wonder—death and darkness both belong to the Netherworld lineage. It’s not surprising that the power of the Netherworld can activate Death Dance.” Chen Xiao smiled slightly. Instantly, the blade of Death Dance disappeared into the Netherworld Shadows, where its power nourished this divine artifact of death. Like Falling Snowflakes, Death Dance also had some attributes of the heavens. With the nourishment of the Netherworld Shadows, it might become a heavenly artifact. But the Heavenly Dragon Set Chen Xiao had obtained earlier was different—it was originally a heavenly artifact that lost its divine energy support and was later transformed by the laws of the gods into a primordial divine artifact. “Now, it’s time to go check out that shattered star system.” A smile appeared in Chen Xiao’s eyes. His cultivation level was now different from when he first stepped into the universe. “But it seems that to reach the true depths of the Superpower World, one must become a guardian…” Chen Xiao understood that the area of the Superpower World he had reached was indeed deep compared to the outside world, but it was still far from the true depths of that world.

However, to reach the depths of the supernatural world, only a Guardian can do so. Since he is not a Guardian now, he has no way of entering. Even the greatest immortals cannot violate the rules and send Chen Xiao in on their own.
“One-tenth of the Insect Devourers, hunters from the Land of Origins who have slain 108 True Gods, then enter the depths of the supernatural world to search for Mingye and find out the whereabouts of his parents.”
Chen Xiao planned step by step. Soon, his body moved as he broke through space and appeared in the vast universe.
