Chapter 442: Chapter 309: Underworld’s Powerful Weapon, Can It Be Used Easily?_2
This was simply absurd.
After picking up a few trinkets in the market and experiencing the local customs of Fengdu City, Xu Yang and Liu Shishi returned to their residence and began their brazen lifestyle.
It wasn’t until the 15th of September (28th day of the seventh lunar month) that Xie Xun hurriedly made his way to Xu Yang’s residence.
“Uncle Xu.”
“When did you move here?”
Upon seeing Xu Yang, Xie Xun wrinkled his brow in a bitter smile and said, “It took me a long time to find out where you were staying.”
Speaking of which,
He took out a book and handed it over.
“Uncle Xu, this is the roster you wanted… Please take a look.”
Xu Yang took the roster and read through it.
On the first page at the top, the name “He Jiahuan” was written, accompanied by a picture indicating what he looked like.
Beneath that was a line of information about him.
“Male.”
“Peaking in the Day Wandering Realm, skilled in swordsmanship, his cultivation method is one of the 72 Earth-Devil Skills, the Sword Mastery?”
In the Underworld Palace,
There are no levels such as “evil ghost”, “fierce ghost”, “red ghost”, or “Ghost King”.
The yin spirits in the Underworld Palace who possess some abilities can all learn cultivation methods. The natives of the Underworld practice orthodox methods of yin spirit cultivation, similar to the path that Ma Long took. The specific disposition of cultivation states is classified as mental stability, spiritual travel, Night Wandering, Day Wandering, Manifest Form and Possession, and Ghost Immortal.
Day Wandering Realm corresponds to the rank of Ghost King.
Manifest Form and Possession correspond to the level above the Ghost King, equivalent to Daoist Refining Deity. Ghost spirits who attain this level are powerful and can differentiate their yin spirits and possess people or animals at will, making them extremely difficult to kill. Liu Shishi is currently at this stage!
Xu Yang was not clear on why ghosts could cultivate divine powers.
Some ghost spirits possess innate divine powers.
There are also ghosts like Xu Zhiyuan who were high-level Daoists in their previous lives and had mastered divine powers, such that after their death, those powers still exist.
The last type is like Xie Xun, who acquired it through cultivation.
Xu Yang deduced,
Maybe because broad highways lead to the same destination… ultimately the ghost spirits will have to comprehend the divine path. This is similar to the Daoist’s way of cultivation.
Since they can understand the divine path, it makes sense that they are capable of cultivating divine powers.
“Fang Zhong.”
“A Daoist in his previous life, peaking in Day Wandering Realm, his cultivation is based on the 72 Earth-Devil Skills, specifically the earth element and star-counting?”
“Yu Yang…”
Xu Yang scanned through each name,
And found that there were a total of 88 names in the roster. The highest cultivation level was Manifest Form and Possession and the weakest was in the Day Wandering Realm… After all, only the Day Wandering Realm could cultivate “divine powers”.
Even for “innate divine powers”, the ghost spirits would only be able to “awaken” and control them after reaching the Day Wandering Realm.
What surprised Xu Yang most was that among these 88 ghost spirits, there was a “Ghost King” in the Day Wandering Realm who had cultivated two of the 36 Heavenly-General Skills. One was “Size Manipulation and the other was “Six Jia Wonder”.
It should be noted that Xu Yang has also mastered two of the 36 Heavenly-General Skills.
They were “Turning Stone into Gold” and “Mountain Shaking”, both were heaven-given divine powers!
Xu Yang patted Xie Xun on the shoulder and said with satisfaction, “Well done, nephew… what do you want in return?”
Xie Xun was a bit shy. He answered, “Uncle Xu, you came from the mortal world… Could you take me there?”
“Huh?”
Xu Yang was surprised. “Your father is Xie Bian, and your uncle is Fan Wujiu, the Black and White Impermanences of the Underworld. With their status, you should be able to go to the human world, isn’t it? Why would you need me?”
With a bitter smile, Xie Xun replied, “I don’t have any status here in the Underworld. If I want to go to the human world, I can only sneak in… This is not permitted by the Underworld. Even my father wouldn’t be willing to break the laws of the Underworld.”
“Isn’t that too simple?”
Xu Yang said, “Just let your father grant you a position in the Underworld’s Bureau of Laws.”
Xie Xun shook his head. “My father and Uncle Fan are both stubborn and wouldn’t pull strings for me. It wouldn’t be difficult for me to get into the Underworld’s Bureau of Laws using my own abilities, but I would have to start from the very bottom as one of the underworld soldiers…”
“That’s too easy!”
Xu Yang laughed. “Come, let’s go to the Underworld’s Bureau of Laws. I happen to need to see Lord Cui. He can assign you a task then.”
“Huh?”
Xie Xun was shocked. “You…Can you meet with Lord Cui?”
In an instant, Xu Yang’s image in Xie Xun’s mind became even more grand!
Although the Black and White Impermanence holds a high position in the Underworld, they couldn’t just see Lord Cui whenever they wanted, let alone Xie Bian’s son.
Arriving at the Underworld’s Bureau of Laws with Xie Xun,
The gatekeeper of the Underworld’s Bureau of Laws was the same as last time and recognized Xu Yang. Upon seeing him, the gatekeeper said, “Master Xu, you’re here? Please wait and I’ll report your arrival.”
“No need to report.”
Xu Yang smiled. “We’re all family here, why all the hassle? I can go in by myself.”
Leading Xie Xun, Xu Yang walked straight into the Underworld’s Bureau of Laws without any hesitation, he headed directly towards the backyard. Xie Xun was greatly alarmed. He tugged gently at the corner of Xu Yang’s clothes and said, “Uncle Xu, I heard that Lord Cui usually meets guests in the Great Hall of the Underworld. This is the backyard of the Bureau, where Lord Cui’s family lives… isn’t it somewhat improper to come here?”
Before he had finished speaking,
Lord Cui, dressed in a red robe, was seen walking toward them with a broad smile on his face, warmly saying, “Haha, Brother Xu Yang… How come you have time to visit my Underworld Bureau today?”
