“Yomi Kingdom?”
The moment he heard that name, the air froze.
Including Chen Feng, his heart trembled slightly.
They all thought that in Sakurai Longzi’s story, the place the fisherman would eventually go to was Gaotian Plains.
However, the final result was beyond their expectations.
Yomi…
Isn’t that the legendary world of the dead in Japan?
Chen Feng made even more connections.
In his previous life, more than 85% of the Awakened who went to the [Gaotian Mystic Realm] had died. Could it be that the place they went to was not the Gaotian Mystic Realm but… the Yomi?Kingdom?
The more Chen Feng thought about it, the more his hair stood on end.
If the place deep in the sea was really the Yomi Kingdom.
Then where did the information about the [Gaotian Mystic Realm] come from?
What kind of place was this fairyland-like island floating in the sky?
Chen Feng’s mind was filled with countless questions.
However, it was too late to figure it out now. More and more people discovered the small wooden boats that were parked by the shore, and they all disappeared into the mist.
No one knew how many small wooden boats there were.
If they were any later, Chen Feng and the others might have lost their chance to enter the Gaotian Plains.
Chen Feng waved the staff in his hand, and immediately, a cool breeze lifted everyone’s bodies, causing their running speed to increase.
Soon, all four of them reached the beach.
Under the dark sky, even the seawater was almost the color of ink. It was impossible to see what was underwater.
A small wooden boat floated alone on the sea.
The surface of the sea was very calm without any waves.
The boat was parked by the bank. It did not move, and it did not have a rope attached to it.
Since he had decided to enter [Gaotian Plains], Chen Feng naturally did not hesitate and stepped onto the ship.
Danger always coexisted with opportunity.
Riches came from danger!
Strangely enough, after all four of them boarded the ship.
The boat actually moved.
Without wind, without waves…
Without any external force, the boat slowly drifted forward, passing through the thick white mist.
Soon, they could no longer see the shore behind them.
No matter where they looked, there was only white fog that blocked their vision.
Chen Feng attempted to use his spiritual energy, but discovered that even his spiritual energy could not break through the white fog, much less see what was hidden within.
Other than the faint sound of running water, nothing else could be heard.
The white fog blocked Chen Feng’s line of sight, but it also blocked the sound.
The silence was scary.
At that moment, Pu Yunmo took out a compass from his pocket and placed it flat on his palm.
The silver needle kept swaying.
He pointed to the left, then to the front, and then to the right.
Obviously, after entering the fog, the compass completely lost its function.
They could not tell the direction, and there was the same white fog all around them, so they could not go back even if they wanted to. They were completely lost.
He could only wait for the boat to drift by itself. Where he went would depend on fate.
Blake, who did not speak much along the way, suddenly asked in a low voice, “Miss Sakurai, about the legend you mentioned on the shore… What’s the ending?”
When he spoke, perhaps because he was nervous, his face was red, and even his voice was stuttering.
Chen Feng and Pu Yunmo also turned their heads to look at Sakurai Longzi.
The two of them were very curious about this legendary ending.
After all, this was related to [Gaotian Mystic Realm].
The vast white mist… the little wooden boat on the coast… the dark, silent night…
All of this seemed to be just like inthe legends.
What about the ending?
What happened to the fisherman who accidentally entered the Yomi Kingdom?
Sakurai Longzi lowered her voice, as if she found it a taboo in such an environment.
“The fisherman entered the legendary Yomi Kingdom. In front of a large hall, he saw a woman covered in maggots and rotting flesh.
“If you are familiar with Japanese mythology, you should know that she is the female matriach god of Japanese mythology, Izanami!
Within the white fog, there was dead silence.
Only Sakurai Longzi’s voice could be heard.
The moment the word ‘Izanami’ was uttered, something seemed to throb and whisper in the white fog.
Chen Feng’s spiritual energy could keenly sense the changes in the white fog.
However, he turned to look at the people around him. Pu Yunmo and Blake were listening to the story seriously, and they did not show any strange expressions.
“Am I too nervous?”
Ever since he sat on the wooden boat, Chen Feng had been a little suspicious.
Should he relax?
Chen Feng forced himself to take two deep breaths to calm down.
Everything should be taken in the right direction.
Perhaps after a while, their small boat would be able to pass through the white fog and reach the home of the Gods in the high plains.
As for the ‘Izanami’ that Sakurai Longzi had just said.
Chen Feng also understood.
She was the Mother Goddess of Japanese mythology and also the Goddess of Foulness of the Yomi Kingdom.
All the gods in the Japanese mythology were borne by Izanami nd her brother Izanagi
For example, the most famous “Susanoo-no-Mikoto” and “Amaterasu-Omikami” in Japanese mythology were the son and daughter of “Yi Xiemei”.
Sakurai Longzi continued in a deep voice,
“After seeing Izanami, the fisher lost consciousness. When he woke up again, he was found on the shore and brought to the hospital.
“From the moment he returned to reality, the fisherman’s body began to rot. He vomited anything he ate, and from his mouth… maggots… he lost his life that night.”
As Sakurai Longzi spoke, she felt disgusted.
However, that was what the legends said.
After hearing Sakurai Longzi’s explanation, everyone became nervous.
Inexplicably, the surroundings became eerie and scary. The small wooden boat drifted deeper into the white fog. Where was it going?
Could it really be heading to the legendary Yomi Kingdom?
Right then.
Bang!
A loud boom came from the fog, like something had slammed heavily into the sea.
What followed was the sound of people shouting for help.
Through the fog, they could see a flash of light in the distance.
But very quickly.
The screams stopped.
Everything returned to…
Dead silence.
