The master and disciple raised their eyes, looked at each other, and said in unison, "...Netherworld?"
Although they had never personally encountered the Netherworld, as a High Merit Elder and his disciple, both hailing from a Taoist Sacred Land, they simultaneously recalled the legendary Netherworld. It was recorded in the Taoist Scriptures as one of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Most of the Ten Lands are dangerous, and some even involve secrets of the Life and Death Underworld. The Netherworld, associated with the Taoist Sect, is one such place, often mentioned alongside the Buddhist Sect's Avici. However, the Netherworld had been missing without a trace for many years. It was unexpected that the previously lost Celestial Master Robe would have some connection to it. Compared to Kunlun and Penglai in the Nine Heavens, the Netherworld of the Ten Lands carried more dangerous and ominous undertones.
