The sudden appearance of so many overlapping places caused Li Nianfan's emotions to fluctuate.
But this was clearly not the time to think about this, because the two emissaries, Black Bai Wuchang, had already walked over.
These were two famous Soul Reapers, it would be a lie to say that he wasn't nervous.
Li Nianfan hurriedly collected his thoughts, at the same time silently sizing up the two emissaries.
They were very similar to the Black and White Impermanence that he had imagined. One of them was black and the other was white. They both wore tall hats and wielded mourning staffs. However, the so-called scarlet stone that reached out and touched the ground did not appear.
Black Impermanence's eyes and nose had a layer of black marks, while Bai Wuchang's face was pale, his eyes and nose had a white mark, not frightening, but full of majesty.
Black Impermanence frowned, "Why would a mortal come here?"
Bing San opened his mouth, "Lord Impermanence, this is Young Master Li, this official's friend."
Li Nianfan hurriedly cupped his hands, "Li Nianfan greets the two Lords Impermanence."
Bai Wuchang opened his mouth, "This is already the Ghost Domain, mortals shouldn't come here for the time being, it's best to leave quickly."
Bing San whispered to Black and White Impermanence, "Lord Impermanence, this young master Li has made friends with several immortals. Last time, it was because of his friends that this official was able to successfully eliminate the Ghost King. Otherwise, I'm afraid this official's team would have been wiped out."
"There's such a thing?"
Black Bai Wuchang's gaze towards Li Nianfan immediately changed, "If so, then you are a guest of the Underworld."
Li Nianfan's heart settled, but he said modestly, "I was also lucky to be able to make friends with those immortals."
Black Impermanence smiled, "Young Master Li doesn't need to be modest, I think you must be outstanding, the Underworld naturally will not neglect you."
Bai Wuchang said, "Bingsan, quickly bring Young Master Li to the living room and receive him well. We'll go there after we're done with some things."
"Bing San obeys!"
Immediately, Bing San brought Li Nianfan to the living room. With a wave of his hand, a beautiful female ghost floated over and served everyone tea.
According to Bing San, this tea was a genuine tea that grew next to the Yellow Springs in the underworld. It was irrigated by the Yellow Springs water day and night, so it was authentic and free of pollution. It was a rare good tea.
Originally, Li Nianfan was a little interested, but after hearing this, he immediately dismissed the idea of tasting it.
Li Nianfan couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart and asked, "May I ask Young Master Bing, can you tell me why the 18 levels of hell collapsed?"
Bing San let out a long sigh and said: "Ah, not only the eighteen layers of hell, the entire underworld has collapsed. This world cannot be peaceful for long. Every once in a while, there will be a great calamity. The underworld was destroyed during the last great calamity."
"Great calamity?" Li Nianfan raised his eyebrows.
It was hard to imagine what great calamity could be so powerful that it could destroy the underworld. He continued to ask: "Then the underworld has … a King of Hell?"
Bing San said: "Of course there is. Our underworld is under the control of the King of Hell. It's a pity that during the last great calamity, he also disappeared."
Li Nianfan's heart began to beat faster. He continued to ask: "Then is there Grandma Meng, the Red Spider Lily, and the Bridge of Helplessness?"
Bing San nodded, "There is. Young Master Li really understands our underworld."
How am I understanding it? I understand it very well!
Li Nianfan felt his head spinning. Something big had happened, something very big!
One or two could be a coincidence, but when all of them were the same, it obviously couldn't be a coincidence.
There was an underworld here, an underworld that was exactly the same. Then this immortal cultivation world that he had transmigrated to … wouldn't be a world of legends, right?
Journey to the West?
Investiture of the Gods?
None of those seemed to be the case.
His battle strength was a little weak.
There was still too little information. He couldn't be anxious. He had to slowly sort it out.
Li Nianfan took a deep breath. His voice was almost hoarse as he asked tentatively: "Young Master Bing, then have you heard of … Sun Wukong?"
"Sun Wukong?" Bing San frowned. It seemed that he had most likely not heard of it.
However, at this moment, a voice came from outside the door. "Young Master Li is talking about that monkey, right? Speaking of it, it really makes one sigh."
Hei Bai Wuchang walked in from outside the door.
Li Nianfan immediately stood up. "Lord Impermanence, have you heard of Sun Wukong?"
Bai Wuchang sighed and shook his head: "Not only have I heard of him, but we also became friends after a fight. Our relationship was quite good. Unfortunately, we heard that in the end, he self-immolated and became a Sarira. His body and Dao disappeared."
This is … the sequel of Journey to the West?!
Li Nianfan pursed his lips. His whole person froze on the spot. His emotions fluctuated uncontrollably. It was extremely complicated.
Excitement, nervousness, doubt, excitement, anticipation, and other emotions filled his brain. Even his whole body had a layer of goosebumps.
Originally, he thought that it was just an ordinary immortal cultivation world. In the end, he suddenly discovered that it was actually a world from the myths and legends of his previous life. No one would be able to control themselves.
Since Sun Wukong had become a Sarira, then it should be the time period after Journey to the West.
During this period of time, there were no corresponding records of the story. It was the blank period of the story that Li Nianfan knew.
However, in just a moment, he strung together a lot of the information that he already knew.
After the end of Journey to the West, there was a great calamity. It caused the Heavenly Palace to disappear, the Underworld to be broken, and Buddhism to be annihilated. And the Demons that rose today were most likely the Demons from Wutian!
This also explained why this immortal cultivation world was so weak.
No wonder when he was telling the story, even the group of immortals listened so seriously.
It felt like he was telling a story to the people in the story.
To them, what he was telling was not a story, but clearly history!
He was acting as a history science teacher for the immortals.
"Young Master Li." Bai Wuchang's voice pulled Li Nianfan back to reality. "Could it be that Young Master Li knows that monkey?"
"Ahem, I've heard of it, I've heard of it." Li Nianfan coughed lightly and quickly perfunctorily.
After the shock, his heart was more excited.
After all, to come to the mythical world that he had loved since childhood, anyone would be excited. He had come to the story and personally experienced everything in the story. At this moment, his strangeness to the immortal cultivation world disappeared without a trace. Instead, he felt a burst of familiarity. He didn't know if he could meet any acquaintances.
It was a pity that he didn't travel to an earlier time. Maybe he could have met the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal.
"Speaking of which, that monkey was also a respectable person." Black Impermanence sighed.
Bai Wuchang also said, "Only a little more than a thousand years after the monkey's death, the great calamity came. Even now, thinking about it still makes one's heart tremble. My Underworld … Sigh, let's not talk about it."
Li Nianfan asked, "Is the situation really that serious?"
Bai Wuchang smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master Li doesn't know, but there are too many ghosts escaping now. Most of them are hiding in the wilderness. Who knows how many people they will harm. On the other hand, the number of ghost servants in our Underworld is getting smaller and smaller. We can't do anything about it at all!"
Li Nianfan's heart skipped a beat. He felt that this was a good opportunity to make friends. He said, "I have an idea."
"Oh?" Black Bai Wuchang's heart suddenly beat wildly. He hurriedly said, "Young Master Li, please tell me."
Li Nianfan smiled and said, "Actually, the Underworld can set up a point in the human world. It will be called the City God. It will protect the country and its people, monitor merits and demerits, manage ghosts, judge life and death, and bestow good fortune and so on."
"A stronghold in the human world? City God? "Black Bai Wuchang muttered in his heart. His eyes grew brighter and brighter.
Black Impermanence said, "This method seems feasible! Why didn't we think of setting up a stronghold in the human world? "
Bai Wuchang slapped his thigh and said, "Wonderful, wonderful!"
"In this way, not only will we solve the lack of manpower in the Underworld, we can also strengthen the communication between the human world and the Underworld. We can also better deal with unexpected situations. It's simply killing two birds with one stone!"
Actually, the benefits were far more than that.
This would raise the status of the Underworld in the hearts of the mortals. Its sphere of influence would also expand to a terrifying extent.
Bai Wuchang's white face was red with excitement. He said sincerely, "Young Master Li is truly a great talent. Just this plan alone is a great favor to the Underworld. You should be our guest of honor!"
Li Nianfan was secretly pleased. He waved his hand and said casually, "Sigh ~ It's just a casual remark. Don't take it to heart."
Black Impermanence said, "Young Master Li, in your opinion, who should be in charge of the City God?"
"Naturally, it should be someone with more prestige in that area. Only by gaining the approval of the people there can they truly work for the people. Only then will the people support them from the bottom of their hearts."
Li Nianfan paused and gave an example. "For example, the ghost of the man that Young Master Bing brought back last time is suitable to act as the City God of that village."
Black Bai Wuchang nodded. Obviously, he also had some understanding of that matter.
Understanding one thing led to another. They were already thinking about the feasibility of this matter in their minds. In the end, they realized that this plan was really impeccable. It could be said to be a blessing for the Underworld!
If they had done this earlier, even after the great calamity, the Underworld would not be as strapped as it was now.
Was this the power of a Saint? Just a casual remark was enough to create a new era!
It was really too powerful!
Li Nianfan smiled. The establishment of the City God was also very beneficial to him.
With his relationship with the Underworld, if his life was really over, he could go to the City God Temple and ask for a position. Would the Underworld have the nerve to refuse?
In this way, he would have a very good backup plan in addition to cultivation.
Black Impermanence cupped his hands and said respectfully, "Young Master Li, do you have any other suggestions for the establishment of the City God?"
Li Nianfan pondered for a moment and simply told him everything he knew. "I think that the City God can be the human world's office. It will only be responsible for the mortals and the wandering souls that have just died, or the demons and ghosts that do evil. There will be Lord City God, Soul Reaper, Good Reward and Evil Messenger, Day Wandering God, and Night Wandering God. After the City God makes a judgment, the detailed information will be reported to the Underworld, and the Underworld will be responsible for receiving it."
"Not bad, really not bad!" Black Bai Wuchang nodded continuously. His face was full of excitement, as if he could already see the glorious scene of the Underworld after the City God was established.
It was too good. The future was too bright.
In this way, the division of labor was clear and orderly. Everyone's task was light and they had enough manpower. Everyone was happy. It was simply perfect.
If they didn't know the role Li Nianfan was playing now, they would have bowed respectfully without hesitation. After all … this was the enlightenment of a Saint!
Black Impermanence said seriously, "Young Master Li's words can be said to be reborn. If there is anything in the future, the Underworld will not refuse!"
Li Nianfan pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, I do have something to ask of you."
Bai Wuchang waved his hand and said heroically, "Young Master Li, please speak."
Li Nianfan said expectantly, "If a mortal doesn't have spiritual roots, what kind of cultivation method can they cultivate? Can they cultivate the soul? "
"This …" Black Impermanence was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "There is a difference between humans and ghosts. The cultivation method of the soul is actually another method of rebirth. The purpose is to condense a new body. Naturally, mortals can't cultivate it."
"So it's like this." Li Nianfan shook his head disappointedly.
He couldn't commit suicide now and cultivate the ghost cultivation method. It wasn't impossible, but … forget it.
At this moment, Bai Wuchang suddenly said, "Young Master Li, there is actually another method, and that is to cultivate the body."
Li Nianfan's heart suddenly moved. It seems that it really can be done!
Such a simple thing, why didn't I think of it?
Seeing the joy on Li Nianfan's face, Bai Wuchang's heart was relieved. Striking while the iron was hot, he said, "The Underworld has a method of cultivating the body. You can go get it for Young Master Li."
"Is that really okay? Then I'll have to trouble you! "Li Nianfan didn't refuse. He was even a little impatient.
Black and Bai Wuchang looked at each other and didn't dare to be negligent. He immediately said, "Sigh, Young Master Li, please wait for a moment. We will be back soon."
After saying that, they quickly walked out.
Long'er asked curiously, "Big Brother, don't you want to be a mortal?"
Li Nianfan said, "Being a mortal isn't bad, but there are many things that are inconvenient. Actually, my requirements aren't high. I don't need to be powerful. I just need to be able to fly, have the ability to protect myself, and not be a burden to others."
He was surrounded by immortals, and he was the only mortal. Although others didn't mind, and Li Nianfan didn't show it, he still cared a lot. Especially when he found out that even Daji had gone to cultivate, this feeling deepened to the extreme.
Blackie nodded and remembered it in his heart. It seemed that his master was tired of pretending to be a mortal and was ready to change his taste.
In the Underworld, Black and Bai Wuchang looked hurried. They walked quickly and went straight to the deepest part of the Underworld.
This was where Empress Hou Tu lived. Normally, they would never rashly enter. But now, Empress Hou Tu had said that as long as it was related to an expert, even if it was a small matter, they could report it at any time.
Not to mention, this matter … was too big!
"Black and Bai Wuchang, requesting to see Granny!"
"You're back? How's the matter? "
Grandma Meng, who was hunched over, was slowly stirring a pot of hot soup in front of her.
Black Impermanence immediately said, "Granny, there was an unforeseen event this time. Thanks to the expert's help, the danger was averted."
Grandma Meng's hand suddenly stopped stirring. She said in surprise, "The expert was also involved?"
Bai Wuchang said excitedly, "Not only that, the expert also enlightened us. It's enough to change the world of the Underworld!"
Grandma Meng's old eyes suddenly lit up. She couldn't wait and said, "Is there such a thing? Tell me quickly."
Black Impermanence said, "It's a long story. There's no time to explain. Now that the expert wants the Body Cultivation Method, we're here to ask for it."
"Body Cultivation Method? What does the expert want that for? "
Grandma Meng frowned deeply. She said doubtfully, "With his level, does he still need the Body Cultivation Method?"
She shook her head and didn't dwell on it. "But since it's the expert's idea, this matter can't be delayed. Bring it to him immediately."
A small cowhide book appeared in her hand. It looked extremely simple and unadorned, and it was flickering with an obscure brilliance.
"Father God's Cultivation Method. This is our greatest sincerity."
Black Impermanence carefully took the booklet from Grandma Meng's hand. "I'll send this to the expert. Old Bai, stay here and tell Granny what just happened."
Bai Wuchang nodded. "Okay!"
Black Impermanence took the booklet and returned to Green Jade City as fast as he could. He appeared in the living room. "Young Master Li, the Cultivation Method is here."
"Thank you so much."
Li Nianfan's heart raced. He took the booklet and couldn't wait to read it.
He was very excited. His heart was pounding.
The hope of cultivation was right in front of him.
Too many things had happened today. First, he re-examined the background of this era. It was the world after the Journey to the West. The path of cultivation seemed to be going downhill. However, it was because he knew the background of this world that he desired to cultivate even more.
After all, the real mythical world was right in front of him. Since he was here, who wouldn't want to see and experience the mythical world with his own eyes?
Secondly, he seemed to have found the path of cultivation!
While Li Nianfan was flipping through the booklet, Blackie slowly stood up. The fluttering fur on his body stopped moving. His dog face was full of seriousness.
Long'Er and Nanna also looked at Li Nianfan with a serious face.
Black Impermanence and the surrounding reapers trembled. They had goosebumps all over their bodies.
At the same time, they had a feeling that … something terrifying was about to happen!
It was also at this moment that the surrounding sky suddenly darkened and everything around them became still.
Golden halos suddenly surged in from all directions. In the blink of an eye, the place was filled with a golden ocean.
Everyone was in this ocean. They could only feel that they couldn't breathe. Their bodies couldn't move at all. That dazzling golden color was about to blind their eyes.
"Merit, it's merit!"
Black Impermanence's eyeballs had already fallen out of their sockets. However, he still stared at it. He couldn't help but cry out in his heart.
"How much merit is this! Could it be that all the merit in the world has been sucked over?! "
He could hardly believe his eyes. He couldn't accept this fact.
This was the Heavenly Merit. Even the Saints would covet this Heavenly Merit!
He could feel that this merit was not given by the Heavenly Dao. It was Li Nianfan who took the initiative to plunder it. It was a crazy plunder!
This was unbelievable. It was beyond imagination!
The merit surrounded Li Nianfan. Like rivers returning to the sea, it crazily fused into his body, wrapping him up in layers. There was so much merit that it overflowed.
With Li Nianfan as the center, it formed a golden ocean. The merit was vast and boundless.
Blackie's face showed a look of realization. He said to the horrified Black Impermanence telepathically, "My master just said that he doesn't need to be very powerful. He just needs to be able to fly and have the ability to protect himself."
Black Impermanence's body trembled violently. He almost died on the spot.
That's right. Merit did not have the slightest offensive power. It didn't seem powerful. However, you call this the ability to protect yourself?
That's right. With so much Heavenly Merit on his body and even wrapping his body tightly, who in the world would dare to hurt the expert?
Even the Saints would have to respectfully call him Lord Merit. They wouldn't dare to speak ill of him behind his back.
Li Nianfan felt a little strange.
This cultivation method had a total of nine transformations. At first, he just wanted to try and see if he could cultivate it.
Then, the strange thing was … the first transformation, the second transformation, the third transformation …
Just like that, he went through nine transformations.
Could this be a fake cultivation method?
Or did my golden finger awaken?
