Yue Jinghua’s fervent desire to go to Dark Hell shocked Ye Zi. "You want to go to Dark Hell? That place is inhabited entirely by Dark Magic Beasts. Have you forgotten the lesson of Fa Xiaoyi? By now, he is probably trapped in the boundless Dark Hell, devoured and gnawed upon by demons," Ye Zi had heard from the great priests of Senming Sea about Dark Hell, where, it is said, the sky has but a single black sun. Ye Zi had witnessed the near-insane look on Fa Xiaoyi’s face after he was engulfed and devoured by the Evil Qi following his failure. The demons there subsist on devouring rotten corpses and breathing in turbid poisonous gases; there is no joy, only boundless suffering and agony. "You don’t need to know so much. Just tell me if you can use Earth Yin Escape again to connect Dark Hell and Canglong Continent," Yue Jinghua pleaded after being taught the Dark Power by Qing Pu, realizing that Dark Summoning Magic wasn’t much different from ordinary Summoning Techniques. To the Ancient Summoners, there was no clear distinction between Spiritual Energy and Evil Qi in the world, and Qing Pu turned out to be unexpectedly proficient in Dark Summoning Magic. Both Dark Summoning Magic and Summoning Techniques can contract Summoned Beasts, but Dark Summoning Magic can only summon Dark Magic Beasts. After advancing the Snake-haired Gorgon, Yue Jinghua realized that the cultivation of Dark Magic Beasts is faster than ordinary Dark Beasts. Since Fa Xiaoyi could summon a Dark Demon Beast even as a child, she must also be able to summon even more powerful Dark Beasts. But to achieve this, there is a prerequisite: she must be in Dark Hell, and Earth Yin Escape is the only weapon she has any chance of using to enter Dark Hell. In the past, Ye Zi could traverse planes using Earth Yin Escape, moving from Senming Realm to Canglong Continent—which meant she must also have a way to help Yue Jinghua enter Dark Hell. Under Yue Chen’s indication, Ye Zi then spoke of the essential conditions for traversing planes with Earth Yin Shuttle; first and foremost, one must possess strong spiritual power, only then can one proficiently master the mantras of Earth Yin Escape. The Tree Demon Flower Charm Clan is naturally endowed with strong spiritual power. Only with strong spiritual power can one handle the complex premonitions and spells of foreign races, thereby successfully driving Earth Yin Escape. Secondly, having Earth Yin Escape. The last point, which Ye Zi believes is the reason Yue Jinghua cannot travel through the Dark Realm, is that she does not possess a body suitable for spatial travel. "Body? There are no problems with the first two conditions, but what does this last requirement mean?" Yue Jinghua was puzzled. "Both the Young Clan Leader and I have experienced spatial travel, and we both safely made it through. The reason we could safely arrive was all thanks to our special physique," when it came to spatial travels, Ye Zi still felt a bit of lingering fear. During the travel, one might encounter any sort of hindrance, such as Killing Thunder or even Plane Hurricanes between plains—any of which might result in slight injury or, at worst, in loss of life. Ye Zi still remembered how her last spatial travel almost cost her life; she was severely weakened and had to lie low in You Tan Palace, surviving by consuming some Dark Beasts. "The physical bodies of the Tree Demon Flower Charms belong to the Wood Attribute, and as long as the Spiritual Wood Core isn’t fatally damaged, the natural self-healing ability of plants is strong. Thus, after transiting through space, I was able to escape smoothly thanks to this self-healing ability," Ye Zi supposed that only if Yue Jinghua’s constitution could reach that of a master of the Heavenly Dark Realm might she have a chance to successfully navigate through space traversal. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to endure the agony of space travel at all. "Wait a minute, you traversed with full mana, but when Yue Chen arrived, he had no protection and was still a defenseless infant. How did he manage to pass through space traversal?" Yue Jinghua briefly analyzed and pointed out the inconsistency. "The Young Clan Leader has the Sky Sun Shuttle, which protected the swaddled Young Clan Leader," Ye Zi said proudly, "The function of the Sky Sun Shuttle is to act as a Flying Spiritual Treasure. It can resist the Plane Hurricanes and various types of Flash Lightning between planes, and its flying speed is even faster than that of a Double-headed Eagle Vulture." A Flying Holy Treasure turned out to be a Flying Spiritual Treasure. The Sky Sun Shuttle, merely the size of a jujube pit, held in the little boy’s hand, turned out to be a Flying Spiritual Treasure. "A Flying Spiritual Treasure the size of two fingers – should this be called a fly or a mosquito Flying Spiritual Treasure," Yue Jinghua joked. "A space series Spiritual Treasure," the so-called flying treasure was indeed a surprise to Yue Jinghua; she hadn’t expected that the Sky Sun Shuttle could also serve as a Flying Spiritual Treasure. Ever since Yue Jinghua had seen the Fire Dragon Sail of the Red Fire Mercenary Group, she had always wanted to have a Flying Spiritual Treasure of her own. However, the cost of creating Flying Spiritual Treasures is extraordinarily high, and only a few major families and large mercenary groups can possess them. For her to wish for such a Flying Spiritual Treasure was as difficult as reaching the heavens. "You’re lucky to have the Desire Gourd; the Sky Sun Shuttle functions just like the Desire Gourd, adjusting itself to the size of the master’s spiritual power cultivation. However, the Young Clan Leader’s Sky Sun Shuttle has already recognized its master, making it unmanageable by others. The Young Clan Leader’s Spiritual Wood Core is damaged, temporarily unable to establish a mental connection with the Sky Sun Shuttle," Ye Zi also felt regret about this. If she had the Sky Sun Shuttle, then traveling between planes would no longer seem so out of reach. "I’ll handle the dangers of transiting; right now, you just need to tell me how to establish a new node," Yue Jinghua planned to quickly enter the Dark Hell within these days before the seven or eight-day journey to the Xuan Beast Mountain Ridge, hoping to capture a batch of Dark Demon Beasts that she could command, considering that dangerous Xuan Beasts might appear within the Xuan Beast Mountain. "There are no shortage of planar nodes on the main roads; each node leads to different realms or planes. Now that we’ve left the Shang Kingdom, the original node has been damaged, which is not very optimistic. Others might not have a way to enter Dark Hell, but you still have a chance. If I’m not mistaken, Fa Xiaoyi has transferred some of the Dark Power onto you. You are emanating Dark Power." The Tree Demon Flower Charm Clan’s spiritual power is indeed formidable. To this day, no one has discovered the presence of Evil Power in Yue Jinghua’s body, except for Ye Zi. The so-called nodes are more like temporary landmarks. The Earth Yin Escape relies on these volatile nodes, connecting the known ones to enter different planes. "There are two ways a node can be formed. One way is the natural existence of nodes on the continent, like the National Destiny Acupoint of the Shang Kingdom; the other is artificial nodes. It’s said that some powerful priests in strong nations can create artificial nodes. Some powerful individuals even possess maps marked with nodes," Ye Zi explained, "In layman’s terms, it’s similar to the Transmission Arrays mentioned by you Dark Practitioners. You only need to use your Dark Power and the Demon Summoning Array to artificially create a node and use this node to perform space-time transit." Outside the vehicle, the snow continued to fall. A gust of wind blew by, and the snow rustled off the treetops. Ye Zi began teaching Yue Jinghua how to use the Earth Yin Escape technique.
