Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 52 - 44: Even Further from Being Wrapped and Collared at Point B
Chapter 52: Chapter 44: Even Further from Being Wrapped and Collared at Point B
The pervasive and pure demon energy stirred up a storm at the gates of the Ghost City, sweeping unabashedly in all directions, causing a flurry of joss paper and netherworld paper.
Yet in the next second, the vast demon energy was suppressed by an even more tremendous force, preventing any loss of life in its rampage.
"Most of those residing in this city are Netherworld Ancient Constables. You might not care for their lives, but they represent the Netherworld..."
"No need for your lectures here, I have my own understanding!" The young man, with two dragon horns on his head and clad in a golden robe, impatiently interrupted the man behind him: "You just need to keep me safe, and I’ll handle everything else!" fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
The man behind him, also with dragon horns, looked displeased. He clasped his hands tightly, his eyes lowered, and said no more.
The young man snorted coldly, stepped towards the city gate, and hesitantly, somewhat awkwardly, bent down to bow slightly, speaking aloud: "Fu Lin of the Dragon Clan requests to see Emperor Fengdu!"
······
White Impermanence came from Yinming Bridge, glanced at Lu Jin’an, who was being protected by Emperor Fengdu, and after a flash of surprise in his eyes, knelt down on one knee, and respectfully said: "Your Excellency, Fu Lin from the Dragon Clan requests an audience."
"With the surname Fu?" Emperor Fengdu showed no expression: "No audience!"
White Impermanence nodded in acknowledgment, just about to leave, when he heard Emperor Fengdu speak again: "Wait, make him wait for two days, then tell him I’m not seeing him!"
"As you command!" White Impermanence turned and left.
As if nothing had happened, Emperor Fengdu continued to observe Lu Jin’an, who was shrouded in a deathly aura but showed no signs of unexpected tendencies. The hands behind his back gradually relaxed.
’Could this young man indeed be an undiscovered type of Immortal Body?’
Emperor Fengdu reached out, summoning the official documents from the Imperial Palace desk. Since this young man had been engrossed in introspection for quite some time, it wouldn’t do for him to stand idly and waste time.
Thus, Emperor Fengdu resumed his focused writing, dealing with the mountain of official business accumulated in the Netherworld.
As time passed, Lu Jin’an, sitting cross-legged, allowed his soul to incarnate through death, traversing within the wordless black monument, gradually coming to understand what it was.
The Black Stele wasn’t just the dividing line of life and death; it was also the core of the Netherworld from the beginning of times.
Death is the end of life; to perish is to die for an extended time.
The wordless black monument contained a complete cycle of the Great Dao of Death, a sanctuary for comprehending the Dao of Death, which could not be found in the Mortal World.
With his eyes closed, Lu Jin’an’s hands began forming seals, and the black death qi, like wisps of smoke, emerged from the stele, twining around his fingertips and blending with them. Slowly, it began to resemble a cracked eggshell, from which a wisp of grayish qi emerged, naturally being Yin Ming Qi.
Only when a wisp of Yin Ming Qi was completely formed did Lu Jin’an slowly withdraw from the wordless black monument.
In the Spirit Sea within his body, filled with spiritual power, the black qi formed from his understanding of the Dao of Death encircled the ’Self’ that had set and illuminated, gradually returning to his body, and the Spirit Sea once again exhibited its original vitality.
With joy in his eyes, Lu Jin’an looked at the Yin Ming Qi in his palm. Though the breakthrough had delayed him for a year and a half, without this time, he wouldn’t have reached this step.
The preparation for Harmonization was more than halfway done. Once he broke through, he wouldn’t need to fear Zhu Nanzhi planting bombs at point B or the inexplicable collar from Senior Sister again.
Emperor Fengdu slightly raised his head, at this moment, Lu Jin’an’s smile finally resembled that of a young man of his age... but this boy working so hard is probably burdened with some great responsibility, isn’t he?
"Thank you, Senior." Lu Jin’an stood up and bowed deeply to Emperor Fengdu: "This junior will forever remember it."
"It’s nothing." Emperor Fengdu waved his hand: "If that day ever comes, be sure to expand the Netherworld’s roster, remember! Remember!"
Lu Jin’an couldn’t help but smile as he listened to Emperor Fengdu’s tone, as increasing the roster had already become an obsession for this ruler of the Underworld...
"If only the Heavenly Dao were more competent," Lu Jin’an joked: "If that were the case, we wouldn’t have to wait for us to transcend, and it would automatically raise Yunding’s level, surely expanding the roster as well."
Emperor Fengdu was stunned, then stroked his beard with a smile: "Your idea... brilliant, brilliant!"
As the words fell, Emperor Fengdu raised his head to the sky, looking disdainful: "Really not a bit competent!"
After Emperor Fengdu complained for a while, Lu Jin’an, presenting the Netherworld Validation with both hands, said: "Senior, the Netherworld Validation..."
"No need to return it, it’s yours." As Emperor Fengdu spoke, he touched the Netherworld Validation’s blade, turning the original short sword into a three-foot long sword, along with a scabbard inscribed with blood-red patterns: "Yin Ming Qi is more precious than death qi, it won’t last long away from the Underworld, but with the Netherworld Validation, you don’t need to worry about that.
Also, with this sword, when you defeat an enemy, you can directly convert their souls into Yin Ming Qi, sparing you from having to make repeated trips here."
Lu Jin’an thanked him, thinking that Emperor Fengdu simply wanted to reduce his workload...
Emperor Fengdu tapped the official documents on the table with his finger: "I’ve taught you what you wanted to learn, how far you can go depends entirely on yourself. I’m busy, so don’t keep coming to waste my time."
"Thank you, Senior." Lu Jin’an bowed deeply: "I certainly won’t come to see you in the form of a departed soul."
"Hopefully." Emperor Fengdu smiled slightly, then asked: "Where did you find this Netherworld Validation?"
"Ruins Cave Heaven."
Emperor Fengdu nodded, and Lu Jin’an spoke again: "The remaining half of the blood in the Netherworld Validation..."
"Use it however you like." Emperor Fengdu nonchalantly replied: "The Netherworld can’t use so much blood to contact the Mortal World, otherwise, we would’ve lost connection long ago, in five thousand years."
Lu Jin’an gave his thanks while decisively extracting the remaining half of the deceased’s essence blood from the Netherworld Validation to refine Yin Qi.
Death contains the utmost yin, refining it in the Netherworld maximizes its benefits.
"I was initially thinking, if I couldn’t see Senior, I’d convert the remaining blood of the deceased into Yin Qi instead of learning the Dao of Death." Lu Jin’an explained: "I was quite lucky."
"Now that’s called luck." Emperor Fengdu waved his hand, instantly replenishing the Yin Qi in the Netherworld Validation: "If earlier, you hadn’t proposed the idea of reversing life and death, and you had already stepped on these paths, I wouldn’t have looked at you, I would’ve directly thrown you out... that’s your own merit.
You first need to be a thousand-mile horse before you have a Bole who appreciates you."
Looking at the fully replenished Yin Qi in the Netherworld Validation, Lu Jin’an once again bowed deeply: "As for the expansion of the Netherworld’s roster, I will certainly make it happen."
"Good, good, good!" Emperor Fengdu smiled genuinely: "If you’re just boasting, when one day you arrive in the Netherworld, see how I’ll deal with you!"
"Good." Lu Jin’an smiled: "This junior takes his leave."
"Go on." Emperor Fengdu waved his large hand, raising the Yinming Bridge and turned to walk towards the Imperial Palace.
"Alas, two thousand years of rest was quite worth it."
As Emperor Fengdu entered the Imperial Palace, he turned his head to watch Lu Jin’an depart, smiling playfully: "The Dragon Clan seeing that I received a Human Clan and not them, must be infuriated."
"Young man, you can’t just talk, you must take action too, let me see what you’re really capable of."
