Chapter 329: Yellow Springs River, Primordial Ancient Serpent Road!
All things have yin and yang. There are highly toxic poisons, and there are detoxifying substances to counter them.
The same principle applies here.
Although The Underworld is the dirtiest place in the world, a land of the dead, it contains endless powers of Death and resentment, enough to corrode all life.
However, there are other forces that can counteract these Death forces and the power of the dead.
The Yellow Springs River is the most precious river conceived in The Underworld.
Once a ghost, or any creature, falls into the Yellow Springs River, it is almost impossible to rise again. This river is powerful enough to drown any life that enters it.
Every drop of Yellow Springs water contains the power to purify evil spirits. If evil spirits enter the river, they are purified of their resentment, death, and even memory.
Such water, Gu Chuan calls the Holy Water of Yellow Springs.
In fact, the raw material for Granny Meng's Soup in later generations is Yellow Springs Holy Water. Just a drop can erase all the memories deep within the soul, turning them into a blank slate.
It is because of this effect that the Yellow Springs River has become the most feared place for both the dead and the living. Hardly any living being or soul dares to cross it.
If you fall into the Yellow Springs River, you will definitely die. Soon after, the memories of your body will be washed away, turning into the purest soul, becoming one of the infinite entities above the Yellow Springs River.
