Chapter 1302

"The area of the Great Swamp is too vast. The water map I drew only uses this place as the starting point. Along the hidden waterway, it covers an area of several hundred miles." The Ghost Shaman's face was pale and his voice was weak as he spoke.

It seemed that he had overexerted his soul power.

The Weeping Soul Beast made a hand seal and shot a dark red light at the black box. The red light spread and enveloped the Ghost Shaman's projection.

The Ghost Shaman's body was bathed in the light, and his condition improved slightly. He thanked the Weeping Soul Beast.

"Thank you."

Han Li didn't put away the jade slip immediately after looking through it. Instead, he looked up, and a purple light flashed in his eyes as he probed the Great Yellow Spring.

With the help of the Magic Eyes of the Ninth Hell, the indiscernible whirlwinds were all revealed to Han Li.

The closer they were to the shore, the smaller the whirlwinds were. The closer they were to the center of the lake, the stronger the whirlwinds were. When they reached the blood clouds, they simply swept up the mist above the lake and the qi in the sky. It was a chaotic mess.

As the Ghost Shaman said, the distribution of the whirlwinds was very chaotic, and there was no pattern at all. But at the same time, there was no way to find the waterway that the Ghost Shaman mentioned.

"Fellow Daoist Ghost Shaman, the distribution of the whirlwinds seems to be different from the Water Map you drew, right?" Han Li asked with a frown.

"The distribution of the whirlwinds is chaotic and constantly changing. The Water Map I drew is the Water Map when the waterway appears.

So we don't have to follow the map immediately. Instead, we have to wait for the changes in the water to coincide with the Water Map. When that happens, the waterway will naturally appear, "the Ghost Shaman explained.

"Wait … How long do we have to wait?" Han Li asked.

"The whirlwinds above the Great Yellow Spring are unpredictable. We can't accurately grasp them without long-term observation.

But judging from the situation of the blood clouds at the center of the lake, it shouldn't be too long. It will definitely appear in a month or a year, "the Ghost Shaman said.

Han Li looked at the blood clouds in the Great Yellow Spring and pondered for a long time.

"Then let's wait."

Han Li and the others temporarily stayed in the stone castle building by the Great Marsh Lake. They waited for more than half a year.

On this day, the wind above the Great Yellow Spring was howling. The huge whirlwind that was originally only entrenched in the center of the lake had now spread to almost the entire lake, and was only a few dozen miles away from the lakeside.

"The time has come, it's now, haha …" The Ghost Sorcerer laughed loudly.

"Now?

Are you kidding me?

The current situation is clearly much worse than before, "Shi Chuankong said in surprise.

The rest of the crowd looked nervous and worried too.

"You might not know this, but the Life Gate is hidden in the Death Gate. Originally, the Positive and Negative Whirlwinds were small and dense. Now, many small whirlwinds have merged with each other and become large and sparse. That's why the secret passage appeared in the middle," the Ghost Sorcerer explained.

A purple light flickered in Han Li's eyes. He carefully examined the lake and found that the distribution of the whirlwinds in the lake was basically the same as the water map drawn by Ghost Sorcerer.

"We can indeed see the waterway entrance that Mr. Ghost Shaman mentioned before. It should be right," said Han Li.

"Fellow Daoists, let's not delay and set off quickly!

There are too many variables in the Great Pond of Underworld. This situation can only last for a few hours at most. We can't afford to delay, "said the Ghost Sorcerer.

"Weeping Soul and I will take Mr. Ghost Shaman across the water. The rest of you will stay in my grotto-heaven treasure. When we arrive, we will move together," said Han Li.

No one objected to this and nodded in agreement.

Han Li waved his hand and a silver light flashed in front of him. The silver light gate immediately appeared.

Jin Tong was the most familiar with the Flowery Branch Grotto-Heaven. He strode in as if he was returning home.

Shi Chuankong sized it up for a moment before walking in as well.

Violet Spirit walked to the door and turned her head to look at Han Li, warning him, "Be careful …"

Han Li smiled and nodded.

After they entered the Flowery Branch Grotto-Heaven, Han Li immediately closed the silver light gate and said to Weeping Soul, "Let's go too …"

"I'll steer the boat carefully while you scout the surroundings with your soul secret technique. Keep an eye on Ghost Shaman. Kill him immediately if he does anything unusual.

But don't worry, I have a way to get you out of here. "Han Li sent a voice transmission to Weeping Soul as he spoke.

After advancing to the peak of the intermediate-stage of the Golden Immortal Realm, Han Li was much more confident now.

"Alright, I'll be careful," replied Weeping Soul.

As soon as they finished speaking, both of them leaped and flew to the shore of the Great Pond of Underworld.

Han Li waved a hand through the air, and an intricately crafted small azure bamboo boat appeared amid a flash of azure light before descending toward the lake.

It was still as light as a feather. After entering the water, the boat only swallowed a little bit of water before it floated steadily on the surface of the water. Even the ripples it caused were extremely tiny.

Han Li leaped up first, tapped the tip of his foot, and descended onto the bamboo boat. Weeping Soul followed closely behind Han Li.

"Fellow Daoist Ghost Shaman, it's time to set out. Notify me in time if anything happens along the way," said Han Li as he bent down and placed the black box on the bow of the boat.

A strand of green smoke drifted out from the box and condensed into Ghost Shaman's appearance. He said with a smile, "Friend Han, don't worry. We're truly in the same boat now, and our lives are related. How could I dare not do my best?"

Han Li nodded and immediately flicked his sleeve. A gust of strong wind swept by, and the bamboo boat shot out like an arrow.

The bamboo boat was extremely swift. It didn't seem like it was sailing on water at all as it traveled on the surface of the lake. Instead, it seemed like it was gliding on ice. As soon as it charged out of the lake, it went straight towards a whirlwind.

When Han Li saw this, he hastily waved his hand and took out a long bamboo pole. He fiercely slapped it against the surface of the lake and forcefully changed the bamboo boat's trajectory, causing it to glide along a whirlwind.

"Hey, be careful, be careful …" Ghost Shaman was alarmed and constantly reminded him.

Han Li steadied the boat and began to slow down. He passed through a narrow passage between the two whirlwinds and officially entered the entrance of the hidden waterway.

When they first entered, there were almost no ripples on the surface of the lake, and the boat was relatively stable. However, the deeper they went, the stronger the whirlwinds along the way. Although the bamboo boat didn't capsize, it became very difficult to control.

Han Li could only focus on controlling the boat. Most of the time, he needed Ghost Shaman to determine the direction.

"Go left, go around that big whirlwind, and you'll see the cloud wall behind," Ghost Shaman shouted loudly.

Han Li immediately slapped the surface of the water with the bamboo pole and turned the bow to the left, bypassing a huge whirlwind.

After coming to the other side, Han Li's eyes flashed slightly. He saw a huge red cloud wall in front of him, completely blocking the path forward.

He hurriedly stuck the bamboo pole into the water to stop the bamboo boat from rushing forward.

"What's going on?" Han Li asked.

Seeing this, Ghost Shaman's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

Seeing this, Han Li frowned slightly.

"Impossible, there's clearly a gap here …" Ghost Shaman looked annoyed and hesitated.

Weeping Soul stood at the back, looking at Ghost Shaman with an unfriendly expression.

Han Li also stared at him for a moment. Seeing that his expression didn't seem to be pretending, he couldn't help but have a flash of doubt in his eyes. Was his estimation really wrong? Or did something happen?

At this moment, his eyes suddenly turned, and the purple color in his eyes lit up. He looked at the blood cloud wall in front of him with his Spirit Eye Magical Power, and he couldn't help but exclaim softly.

"What's wrong, Friend Han, did you find anything?" Ghost Shaman asked quickly.

"The water channel is still there, but it's blocked by the escaping clouds." Han Li said.

Hearing this, Ghost Shaman hurriedly looked down the cloud wall. Sure enough, although there were blood clouds condensing there, they were far less thick and heavy than other places.

"Go."

Han Li shouted softly, and with a sweep of the long pole in his hand, the bamboo boat crashed into the blood cloud wall.

"Poof", a soft sound.

Han Li and the others crashed into the wall of clouds along with the boat, and their vision instantly turned blood-red. They couldn't see anything clearly, and it became extremely difficult for them to breathe.

But after a while, Han Li only felt that his breathing suddenly became smooth, and the front suddenly opened up. They passed through the high wall again.

"We're out …" Ghost Shaman was overjoyed when he saw this.

Han Li looked as usual, and he looked at both sides. He saw that the blood cloud wall on both sides was towering, whistling and tumbling endlessly. It was a mass of positive and negative whirlwinds that were connected side by side, pulling the clouds in the sky.

Traveling in the boat was like passing through a canyon with a high cliff, and they had to be careful all the time.

"Friend Han, you can relax for the time being. After entering this Dragon Path, it's safe. At least half of the journey is safe." Ghost Shaman said with a sigh of relief.

"Dragon Path?" Han Li was puzzled.

"I just casually said it for luck, hehe …" Ghost Shaman said.

Han Li heard this, and no longer said anything, carefully rowing the boat forward.

…

At the same time, in the center of the Netherworld Swamp, there was a circular encirclement formed by positive and negative whirlwinds, condensing a circle of incomparably thick blood cloud wall, isolating a vast area in the middle.

In this area, the sea and the sky were wide, and there were no more whirlwinds. In the center, there was a round island shaped like a wheel floating alone.

It was just a large swamp island, but there were six ridges on it, converging to the center of the island from different directions. Looking down from above, it looked like spokes on a wheel.

It was like nature itself, and its aura was extraordinary.

At a glance, although there was no vegetation growing on the entire island, it did not seem desolate, because there were stone steps, mountain roads, and some simple pavilions distributed everywhere on the island.

As for the center of the island, there was a majestic stone hall made of greyish-white boulders.

Around the stone hall, there was a flat square, but the size and shape were different, and they were all filled with smoke.
