Jiuluo Nanxing didn’t know how long he had been practicing, he only felt that his body seemed to have turned into a bottomless pit, constantly devouring the power of the stars around him.

Gradually, he felt that his body and soul seemed to merge into one, forming a wonderful state.

He seemed to see his own inner world, which was an extremely vast universe with twinkling stars and bright starlight.

He felt as if his soul had turned into a star, constantly wandering and exploring in the universe.

This universe is full of endless mysteries and power, as if he can control everything in the universe as long as he wants.

Jiuluo Nanxing was immersed in this wonderful feeling, constantly comprehending the mysteries of "Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Heart Sutra".

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly felt as if a crack had appeared in the universe, as if something was seeping in from the outside.

He felt something in his heart and immediately woke up from his cultivation state, opened his eyes and looked around.

At this time, it was already daybreak, and the sunlight shone through the dense leaves, shining on his body, bringing a hint of warmth.

Jiuluo Nanxing felt as if his body had been thoroughly baptized, and he felt relaxed and refreshed.

He secretly sighed in his heart that the "Heart Sutra of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady" was indeed extraordinary. Just the initial practice had brought him such tremendous changes.

At this time, Shui Ruoyuan was walking over with a bowl of medicinal food.

"Young Valley Master, you're awake." Shui Ruoyuan handed him the medicinal meal, "This is what your mother prepared especially for you. Drink it while it's hot."

Jiuluo Nanxing took the medicinal food and smelled the fragrance of the elixir. He took a sip and felt a warm current flowing down his throat into his body and spreading to his limbs.

This medicinal food not only nourished his body, but also made him feel a comfort and tranquility he had never experienced before.

"Thank you, Elder Shui." He drank the medicinal food in one gulp, then asked, "Is my mother okay?"

Shui Ruoyuan looked at him, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes: "Young Valley Master, the Valley Master..."

She hesitated to speak, as if she was choosing her words.

Jiuluo Nanxing's heart tightened. He could see that Shui Ruoyuan's expression was not relaxed: "Elder Shui, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Shui Ruoyuan sighed softly: "Young Valley Master, the Valley Master has always been in poor health, and has been in seclusion for most of these years."

"How is she doing?" Jiuluo Nanxing asked anxiously.

"Ah." Shui Ruoyuan shook her head.

"Young Valley Master, you know that the Valley Master was seriously injured in the war a hundred years ago. She has been using spiritual medicine to suppress her injuries for many years, but as she grows older, those injuries have begun to gradually take their toll on her body."

"These days, the Valley Master has been trying to break through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm in order to restore her peak strength. However, due to the serious injuries in her body, her cultivation has not been able to break through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm."

Jiuluo Nanxing's heart sank, he knew that his mother had paid a huge price to protect Wanhua Valley, preserve the "Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman Heart Sutra", and seal the Lord of the Underworld.

"Elder Shui, is there any solution?" he asked anxiously.

Shui Ruoyuan sighed: "It's not that there is no way, but..."

"Just what?" Jiuluo Nanxing asked.

"It just requires some spiritual objects from heaven and earth." Shui Ruoyuan said slowly, "Only by gathering these spiritual objects from heaven and earth and refining the Void-Breaking Pill can we completely heal the Valley Master's injuries and help her break through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm."

"What spiritual objects do you need?" Jiuluo Nanxing asked.

Shui Ruoyuan was silent for a moment, as if hesitating whether to speak.

Jiuluo Nanxing saw her hesitation and felt nervous: "Elder Shui, if there is anything you need me to do, just let me know."

Shui Ruoyuan looked at him and sighed softly, "Young Valley Master, these spiritual creatures all grow in the underworld. A total of 3 Sansheng Wuwang, 6 Ghost Domain Qiang Grass, 9 Wangchuan White Bone Orchids, and 12 Shenyuan Wan'e Flowers are needed."

"In addition to these spiritual objects, some special materials are also needed." Shui Ruoyuan continued, "They are the Nine Netherworld Fire, the Water of the Underworld, and the Immortal Soul Jade."

Jiuluo Nanxing recited these names silently in his heart. He knew that these spiritual objects and materials were all extremely rare in the world.

"The Valley Master originally didn't allow me to tell you this, but I think you have the right to know the truth." Shui Ruoyuan looked at him, "Young Valley Master, do you know why these spiritual creatures grow in the underworld?"

Jiuluo Nanxing shook his head: "I would like to hear the details."

"Because these spiritual creatures rely on the evil spirits and dead air of the underworld to grow." Shui Ruoyuan explained, "Ordinary places simply cannot provide such an environment."

"Moreover, it is extremely difficult to collect these spiritual objects and materials. Not only do we need to face the many dangers in the underworld, but we also have to compete with the monks in the underworld."

Jiuluo Nanxing took a deep breath: "I'll find a way."

"Young Valley Master, do you mean... that you want to go to the underworld to collect these spiritual objects and materials for the Valley Master?"

Shui Ruoyuan looked at him with joy: "Young Valley Master, I am lucky that you have such determination. However, the journey to the underworld is extremely dangerous. It is too risky for you to go alone."

Jiuluo Nanxing nodded: "It doesn't matter, even if it's not for refining the Poxu Pill, some things should be concluded."

He knew that his mother had always had a knot in her heart, that is, she fell in love with the wrong person, Cang Ming, the lord of the underworld, and almost caused the entire Wanhua Valley to fall into an irretrievable situation.

Therefore, ever since he was born, his mother had ignored him, simply because he had Cang Ming's blood flowing in his body, and this had become a source of worry for his mother.

Although all this was unfair to Jiuluo Nanxing, he understood his mother's difficulties ever since he was old enough to understand and never resented her.

Even though his mother did not trust him when she taught him the "Heart Sutra of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady" last night and used the Soul-Binding Pill to control his mind, he never complained at all.

Now that the forces of the underworld have made a comeback, Jiuluo Nanxing knows that he must do something.

He wanted to completely bury his mother's past and free her from that painful relationship. Also for the future of Wanhua Valley, he had to go to the underworld himself.

"Where is my mother? I need to talk to her about something." Jiuluonanxing stood up and said to Shui Ruoyuan.

Shui Ruoyuan hesitated for a moment after hearing this: "Young Valley Master, the Valley Master should be resting in the bedroom of Yuhua Pavilion now."

"I want to see her." Jiuluo Nanxing said firmly, "Please trouble Elder Shui to lead the way."

Shui Ruoyuan did not dare to delay and quickly took Jiuluo Nanxing out of the Starry Secret Realm and walked towards Yuhua Pavilion.

Yuhua Pavilion is located deep in the Wanhua Valley, an elegant and quiet courtyard.

Yuhua Pavilion is an extremely secret place in Wanhua Valley. Except for the valley master and a few elders, few people come here.

The two of them came to the outside of the bedroom of Yuhua Pavilion. Shui Ruoyuan stopped and said, "Young Valley Master, you go in. The Valley Master should be inside. I won't go in."

Jiuluo Nanxing nodded, pushed open the door of the bedroom and walked in.

Jiuluo Nanxing followed Shui Ruoyuan to the front of Yuhua Pavilion, only to see a huge forbidden light curtain stretching across the front of the pavilion, emitting a powerful aura.

"This is..." Jiuluo Nanxing asked with a frown.

The hall was completely dark, with only a vague silhouette visible on the couch in the center.

"Mother." Jiuluo Nanxing said softly and walked over slowly.

"This is a restriction set by the Valley Master." Shui Ruoyuan explained, "Young Valley Master, please follow me."

As she spoke, she took out a talisman from her bosom and flicked it lightly. The talisman turned into a stream of light and flew towards the forbidden light curtain.

The figure on the couch slowly sat up, revealing a beautiful face under the dim candlelight.
