1283 Gateway to Hell

"Speaking of the Shadow Realm, do you know how I can reach that place?" Yuan asked.

"I know there's a way to get there in the lower heavens, but I'm not sure I can enter that place again, so I will need a new path there."

"The Fourth Heaven." Dong Ye responded, continuing in a grim voice, "In the Fourth Heaven, there is a place called Vanishing Valley. It's a dangerous area, one of four 'Gateway to Hell' to exist in the Nine Heavens."

"Gateway to Hell?" Yuan raised an eyebrow.

Dong Ye then explained, "They are also called forbidden zones — extremely dangerous areas that even Immortals avoid at all costs. Most people that enter will never return, hence the name. Fortunately, the Vanishing Valley is the least dangerous of the four out there… but that's not really saying much."

"The Vanishing Valley is a deceptive place that may not appear very expansive at first glance, but once you step into the valley, it magically stretches on endlessly, ensnaring you within its confines for eternity, not to mention the countless powerful magical beasts roaming within that place."

"And when I say powerful, I mean there exist magical beasts rivaling Immortal Cultivators, despite it being located in the Fourth Heaven, where the limit is Spirit Enlightenment."

"Magical beasts as powerful as Immortals?" Yuan swallowed nervously after hearing this information. Even with his talents, he wouldn't last a single breath against such powerful opponents.

"There's a reason why even Immortals perish in these regions. Forbidden zones defy all logic and transcend heavenly rules – they are domains not intended for humans," Dong Ye added solemnly.

"Is this the only way into the Shadow Realm?" Yuan then asked.

"No, but the next entrance is in the Seventh Heaven. Unless you want to wait until then, you will have to enter through the Vanishing Valley, and even if you wish to wait, it won't be any safer than the Vanishing Valley."
