Chapter 237 - Little Ghost Is Hard to Deal with (1/2)
Chapter 237 Little Ghost Is Hard to Deal with
Li Changshou could not help but feel disappointed when he first saw the Netherworld. The difference between this place and the place he had created with his imagination was too great.
At the edge of the Netherworld, all they could see was desolation and there was no order. There were some ferocious ghosts wandering around and they even found traces of many evil beasts.
That was not much different from the Desolate Land of the Sea Of Blood that was recorded in the ancient books.
He flew past the East of the Netherworld and flew forward. As he flew further, the amount of gray fog reduced. His vision broadened.
Unfortunately, he could not see the Lethe River that was filled with vengeful souls. He could not see the three-way river between life and death.
He could not find the Gates of h.e.l.l that often appeared in the proverbs, nor could he find the spectacular scene of countless souls on the Yellow Springs Path heading towards reincarnation…
Above their heads and around them, there was always a little light floating in the same direction as them.
Those were the True Spirits of living beings that had been attracted to the center of the Netherworld after their death. There was a Heavenly Dao Merit treasure there, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc that was formed from the virtuous Lady of Earth.
After Ji Wuyou and the rest flew for a while, Li Changshou finally understood… They were on the Yellow Springs Path. However, there was no conflict between the living beings.
The “sky” of the Netherworld was a little low. They could not help but feel stifled. The wind that blew from all over gave out a faint whimper and miserable wail.
That was probably related to the customs of the “Graveyard Party”.
Li Changshou did not carefully understand the atmosphere there. He did not use that place to optimize his “burial services”.
His heart felt heavy…
After all, they were already in such a place. It was not appropriate to be too happy.
Ahem, back to the main topic.
Li Changshou had been thinking about how he should explain to his master if his Aunt-Master Wan Jiangyu had met with another mishap.
At the end of the day, it was not easy to explain that matter. However, he could not hide it from his master forever.
Although his master had become a Turbid Immortal, he was too much like a salted fish. There was no need for him to struggle anymore.
However, Li Changshou ultimately wanted to make his master happier and live a better life, instead of living in regret and guilt.
Therefore, he sincerely hoped that nothing happened to Aunt-Master Wan Jiangyu…
On the way to Fengdu City, Ji Wuyou took the initiative to release the oppressive aura of his Golden Immortal realm. At that moment, ferocious ghosts crawled away and demons took a detour.
Even if the five of them pa.s.sed by some ferocious beasts’ territory by chance, most of them would hide deeper.
They entered the Netherworld from the eastern border and flew for more than 5,000 kilometers. They finally saw the first city in the Netherworld.
There was no name for the city. It was just a small city that could be seen from everywhere in the Netherworld. There were ghost cultivators, Yin cultivators, and demons in the city. They were not very strong.
Li Changshou finally saw the existences that he was more interested in the servants of the Netherworld.
Those people were dressed in yellow robes. Most of them were cultivated from ghosts. They were equivalent to cultivators at the Void Return Stage and Dao Requital Realm. They were afraid of True Flames and pure Yang techniques.
Most of the time, they were listless. They patrolled outside and inside the city. They bullied the cultivators in the city to kill some boredom.
The small group of people were in good spirits. They were also talking and laughing non-stop, without any discipline.
Li Changshou sighed softly…
Seeing it for himself was much better than staying in the Immortal Du Sect and imagining
it.
This Netherworld is really… full of Heavenly Dao karma that was thrown on the roadside!
Although reincarnation was established, the order was not enforced completely. There was still a lot of merit to pick up!
However, those were all merit points that could only be calculated after he had gotten a foothold in the Heavenly Courts.
This time, he was there for his Aunt-Master’s reincarnation. It would not be good for him to spend more time investigating that matter.
As they got closer and closer to the center of the Netherworld, they saw more and more cities.
There were a few cities that were as lively as the cities in the South Continent. They were filled with all kinds of strange “things”… Most of them were different from ordinary living beings.
Ji Wuyou was really experienced and knowledgeable. On the way, he explained to the four of them the origins of the common ghost cultivators in the Netherworld. He also explained the important cities in the Netherworld where the experts were stationed.
In the blink of an eye, they traveled more than 5,000 kilometers. Suddenly, two pitch-black mountains blocked their way.
Ji Wuyou did not walk to either side. Instead, he led the four of them towards the narrow gap between the two mountains. “This is the place we have to pa.s.s through to enter Fengdu City.” Ji Wuyou smiled and continued, “There are soldiers guarding this place. Don’t be careless later…”
Before Ji Wuyou could finish speaking, a sudden yelling came from below. “Those flying above, come down!” “There is a Death Trap in this place. Don’t trespa.s.s. It doesn’t matter if you die or not!” Ji Wuyou smiled. He naturally understood the rules there and quickly led the four of them to descend.
Li Changshou observed for a while.
He realized that there were indeed some mysterious and obscure Dao runes echoing between the two magnificent mountains. The thought of forcing his way through his heart made his spiritual perception jump.
The arrangement there was extraordinary!
When they reached the bottom of the valley, they saw hundreds of burly figures with intense auras. They were dressed in dark yellow battle armor, holding steel forks and chains. They stood in front of the “One-Line Sky” in an awe-inspiring manner. Almost all of them were at the Perfected Immortal realm.
Li Changshou was a little puzzled.
The difference between the world of the living and the Netherworld was too great.
Three people happened to pa.s.s by before the five members of the Immortal Du Sect. At that moment, they could see the three of them flying slowly between the two mountains.
There seemed to be a restriction in front that prevented them from flying too quickly.
Ji Wuyou stood with his hands behind his back. He rode a cloud and stopped three feet above the ground. He brought the four of them to the intersection where the guards were guarding. Exalted w.a.n.g Qing and Youqin Xuanya were both fully focused. After walking past Jiang Lin’er a few times, they were slightly distracted.
Li Changshou, on the other hand, looked at the Netherworld servants with interest. He had a rough idea.
He reckoned that they should be the Magis who chased after the Lady of Earth back then.
The Lady of Earth turned into the Six Paths of Reincarnation during the Second Great Magi-Demon War.
The Lady of Earth was originally one of the twelve ancestral Magi, and she had her own direct tribe. She had transformed into the Six Paths of Reincarnation disc to forever suppress the Netherworld. There were also a group of Magi from her tribe who chose to pursue her.
When those experts entered the Netherworld, they had already severed ties with the Magi. They were also given the positions of Heavenly Dao clergies.
I’m sure these Netherworld servants are the Magi in their afterlife.
Immediately, a general who was dressed in armor and was carrying two hammers walked forward. Judging from his aura, he was at the mid-stage of Heaven Immortal realm.
The general’s face was sallow and his eyes were half-closed. He looked as though he was performing his duties as usual.
He weakly asked with a sluggish expression, “Where did you guys come from?” Ji Wuyou said calmly, “We are from an Immortal Sect in the East Continent.”
“Where are you going?”
“Of course, I have something to attend to in Fengdu City.” Ji Wuyou chuckled and sounded righteous.
The general pursed his lips and yawned.
“You should go back. This is not the way.”
