Black Altar Mountain
Built over hundreds of years, the main palace was surrounded by pines and cypress trees. There were pavilions and pavilions everywhere. Under the sunlight, it looked extremely lush and lush. Looking into the distance, one could see the clouds surrounding the mountain, making it look like a celestial mountain.
In one of the pavilions, a Daoist with a golden crown was sitting on a couch. The servants around him were all female cultivators, and looked very different from the usual rich and powerful people.
The Daoist opened his eyes, as a cold gleam flashed across them.
"Ai?" The Daoist lowered his head and laughed, "Although I didn't manage to kill Pei Zi Yun the last time, I managed to leave a mark on his body. An Earth Immortal's technique can only be detected by Yin Masters. Now that the mark is trembling, it means that this person has already infiltrated Hell."
"Haha, no matter how talented you are, you have to be removed from Hell. This is the perfect opportunity for me to kill you. I did not expect you to reach the seventh level of the Yin Master Stage in such a short time."
"I cannot let you live." The Daoist sensed his surroundings and laughed coldly, "I shall kill this person. Now is the time. Incarnation, what are you waiting for?"
As soon as these words were spoken, an endless number of palaces could be seen below. There were many Daoists and Yin Masters living in these palaces. Spiritual lights shone from Paradise as they surrounded a huge hall.
The huge hall was filled with spiritual energy and was constantly being absorbed by a Yin Master. Suddenly, the Yin Master stood up and struck the spiritual bell. He then transformed into a beam of light and shot towards a direction.
This place was like a dry desert. Chilly winds blew across the desert, causing debris to sway. It was night time, and the silence was indescribable.
Occasionally, spiritual lights would descend and form a fertile land. Houses, residences, residences.
At this point, a beam of light shone brightly. It was Pei Zi Yun's Yin Master. He paused in shock as soon as he landed.
"There's the power of the Spiritual Realm."
"I'm very familiar with Free Cloud Sect's Paradise."
"There's also the Dragon Veins. I can feel that as the lock is unlocked, Paradise is beginning to form."
"This sea turtle is strange," Li Mu said.
Just as Ren Wei was speaking, Pei Zi Yun had already felt it. Now that his Yin Master had arrived, the feeling was even stronger. He could see a turtle appearing, and it seemed to be very close to him. However, it seemed to have a trace of Dragon Qi. The moment it neared him, his Dao arts slowed down.
With his Spiritual Eye, he saw a palace gradually forming on an island in the distant ocean. Although the palace wasn't big, it was very clean and tidy. However, it didn't seem like anyone was staying in it.
He couldn't help but sigh, "Although there aren't many people on my island, there's still a sliver of Imperial Qi after the establishment of the government. Although it's negligible, it still has an effect on my Dao."
"I have to think of a solution. The simplest way is to pass it on to my descendants, but I'm not married yet."
This palace is obviously much better than the ancestral temple. Come to think of it, the ancestral temple only has a few dozen or a hundred people to offer sacrifices to, while the islanders are three thousand. They are under my control, and I will be able to move the father of this body there in the future. "
With that thought in mind, he turned into a streak of spiritual light and flew away.
Underworld Earth was cold and gloomy. There were some places that were barren deserts that carried sinister winds. There were also some mountain ranges that carried earthen energy, where deities resided.
On the plains, one could often see cities, towns, or small villages shrouded in spiritual light. In the wilderness, there were some wandering ghosts.
Pei Zi Yun looked carefully and sighed, "There's light only when there's worship."
"Ancestral shrines can be turned into small temples or courtyards. As for official temples, if there's incense, they can be turned into palaces."
"As for the brightly lit, vast, and continuous palaces, they are usually the residences of the City Gods."
"I'm heading to the underworld of Dong 'an Prefecture. This is where I was born, and also where the mark is."
On a road, a ghost soldier was patrolling under the leadership of a Ghost Immortal to clear out the evil spirits nearby. This was to protect the peace of the underworld. At this point, they sensed something and threw a long spear out, piercing the ground.
The ground exploded, and a three-headed, five-eyed, mud-like monster with the face of a baby emerged from the ground. It was covered in wounds.
The moment the monster appeared, it let out a cry that resembled a baby's cry and was about to run away. The ghost constable took out a wanted poster and looked at the monster before him, "Superior, there's a report from Cloudy Town that an evil spirit has attacked and devoured all ghosts. This is the evil spirit in the picture."
"Still thinking of running?" The Ghost Immortal had a mark on his forehead as he spoke coldly. He then chased after the evil spirit and slammed his palm down. The escaping evil spirit screamed in agony as it turned into a ball of Yin Qi.
The Ghost Immortal took out a gourd and pointed it at the ball of Yin Qi. The ghost constable then followed and started discussing, "Your excellency, the evil spirits have been growing in the underworld recently. We've already killed over three hundred of them, which is ten times more than before. I wonder what's going on."
Just as the Ghost Immortal was about to speak, he raised his head and looked into the distance. He then shouted, "Who goes there?"
At this point, a streak of light came to a stop. It was Pei Zi Yun. One of the constables wanted to stop him and question him, but someone pulled him back, "Don't die. This person has been conferred the title of Dao Master."
"Not only that, there are other forms of Imperial Qi as well." The leader of the Ghost Immortals thought to himself as he took a step forward, "Yin and Yang are separated. This is the territory of Dong 'an Prefecture, which is under the jurisdiction of the City God. I wonder what brings Dao Master here?"
Pei Zi Yun waved his hands, "I'm here to seek an audience with the City God to remove my Yin Records."
When the Ghost Immortal heard this, he sighed and was secretly envious, "He even allowed me to lead the way for Dao Master. The underworld isn't very peaceful today, and the patrols are very strict."
As the Ghost Immortal said this, Pei Zi Yun nodded his head, "Please!"
The Ghost Immortal and Pei Zi Yun transformed into two streaks of light as they headed towards the City God's Palace.
A huge city could be seen from afar. The skies above the city were illuminated by a bright light that enveloped the entire city. At this point, there were several ghosts entering and exiting the city. However, there were ghost constables everywhere, preventing evil spirits from entering the city.
"Dao Master, you are not allowed to fly within the city. Please follow me." The moment they reached the city, the Ghost Immortal spoke. Pei Zi Yun had no objections as he entered the city.
Along the way, many ghosts bowed to him. It was obvious that the Ghost Immortal who was leading the way had a high status within the Dong 'an Prefecture.
The Daoist sects had records on how to visit the City God, and what kind of etiquette one had to follow. After escorting Pei Zi Yun to the City God's Palace, the Ghost Immortal left.
Pei Zi Yun handed the invitation over to the Ghost Immortal, who was standing at the door, to receive the invitation. After some time, the Ghost Immortal walked out, "Dao Master, His Excellency City God invites you."
Inside the palace, the City God was reading through the report that the judge had handed him. If one's Yin Records were not removed, he would have to come to the underworld to be judged and punished.
As soon as he entered, Pei Zi Yun bowed to the City God, "Greetings, City God."
"I wouldn't dare!" The City God's entire body was enveloped in a layer of spiritual light. He looked like a middle-aged man, and was dressed in an official's robe. He had a dignified air about him. At this point, he looked at Pei Zi Yun and said, "You are not an ordinary Dao Master. I've heard about the rebellion in Ying Prefecture. Please rise. We are separated by Yin and Yang. I wonder what brings you here? Do you have something to ask the mortal spirits, or do you wish to remove your Yin Records? "
Pei Zi Yun replied, "I've attained Yin Mastery, and yet I wish to remove my Yin Records."
"Dao Master's innate talent is outstanding. I didn't expect you to have already reached the seventh level. Removing your Yin Records is an easy feat. However, Dao Master Pei, do you know that if you remove your Yin Records, you will no longer be under the protection of the underworld?"
Hearing the City God's words, Pei Zi Yun fell silent. Removing his Yin Records would no longer be under the control of the underworld. However, it was rare for the underworld to protect him. After some time, he took a step forward, "I implore the City God to remove my Yin Records."
Since the City God refused to remove his Yin Records, he could only forcefully remove it. However, doing so would incur the wrath of the underworld. The City God looked at Pei Zi Yun and nodded his head, "Think carefully. Once you remove your Yin Records, there's no turning back."
Pei Zi Yun replied, "Of course!"
"I'm here to retrieve Dao Master Pei's Yin Records."
The City God then instructed the judge beside him. The judge then turned around and left. After some time, he returned with a book.
The City God placed the book on the table and took out a pen to write down Pei Zi Yun's name. Pei Zi Yun's records in the underworld were removed.
The moment the name was removed, Pei Zi Yun felt his entire body lighten. A ball of black light flew out from the book. Pei Zi Yun stretched out his hand, and the black light landed on his hand.
Pei Zi Yun looked at it and saw that he had killed many people along the way. All of this was indeed recorded in the Yin Records. However, some of the details were blurry and blurry. Pei Zi Yun then pointed at the black light and absorbed it all.
"It seems like within my Yin Master, there's a trace of the Dao of the Earth?"
At this point, Pei Zi Yun couldn't feel it clearly. All he could feel was that the bottleneck that was preventing him from leveling up had been removed. All he had to do was use the Plum Blossom and he would be able to level up immediately.
However, this was only half of it. The other half was in Snail Village. All he had to do was make a trip to Snail Village to absorb the imprint and return it to his physical body.
Seeing that Pei Zi Yun was about to leave, the City God did not urge him to stay. He then closed the book. At this point, the judge beside him whispered, "This Daoist has a close relationship with the imperial court. Your excellency, why didn't you warn this Dao Master?"
Hearing the judge's question, the judge replied plainly, "By removing the Yin Master, I've already shown him mercy. If this person wanted to join the imperial court, I would have warned him. However, it looks like he's unwilling. Why should I tell Dao Master Pei about this? Once the Yin Master is removed, his life and death will be up to the heavens. He will have to face this calamity himself. "
"I see. Your excellency is indeed wise." The judge spoke out in admiration.
Pei Zi Yun then left the City God's City God and transformed into a ray of light as he headed towards Snail Village. His imprint was still there. All of a sudden, he felt uneasy and stopped in his tracks, "Something's not right. I can sense danger. It's impossible for someone to betray me. What's the reason then?"
"City God? The City God has a close relationship with the imperial court. Furthermore, I'm still in my honeymoon period with the imperial court. Not only do I have the title of Dao Master, I have the Emperor's Sword and the token. The City God will not act against me. "
"Could it be that the Black Altar Sect is able to threaten me in the underworld?"
"However, I've learned my lesson. Although I avoided the Imperial Qi and went to Fu Mansion to remove my name, there are still soldiers patrolling the area. It's impossible that they are a threat from the mortal world."
"Then it must be my Yin Master?"
"I have the Plum Blossom on me, which allows me to avoid detection. Could it be …." Pei Zi Yun thought to himself as he felt his own body. Gradually, an imprint appeared on his Yin Master.
"Damn it. So it's because of the battle last time, I've left an imprint on this person." It was just an imprint. Pei Zi Yun wiped it away. All of a sudden, his eyes lit up as a streak of light appeared before him. A cold laugh could be heard, "Too late!"
