Chapter 365: Breaking a Gap in the Underworld

Jiang Li understood that although the world of Jiuzhou was thriving, the world outside Jiuzhou was caught up in the conspiracy of the extraterritorial demons, and the number of human beings was constantly decreasing.

Although he saved several worlds, they were still too few compared to the countless worlds.

Too many worlds have fallen, or even become dead silent.

As more and more people die, there are fewer and fewer places to reincarnate, resulting in ghosts having no place to stand in the underworld.

If the Immortal Realm does nothing, Jiang Li will have to go there sooner or later to settle the matter.

"After drinking Meng Po soup, you still have vague memories of your past life?" Du Ping was surprised. If one cannot completely forget the past life, doesn't that mean that the cultivator still has memories of the past life after reincarnation?

This will cause huge ethical disputes, and the underworld will not allow such a thing to happen.

Xiaofang shook her head: "Meng Po soup is not the last step of reincarnation. We ghosts still need to pass through an immortal artifact called the 'Six Paths of Reincarnation Monument' before we can reincarnate."

"The immortal artifact 'Six Paths of Reincarnation' contains the principles of life and death and reincarnation. It will cleanse the soul, completely severing us from our past lives, allowing us to forget everything and start anew."

"But these are what the kind-hearted ghost messenger told us. As for whether they are true or not, we don't know."

"Originally, we were about to enter the reincarnation cycle and be reborn. The person in front of me had already been cleansed by the Six Paths of Reincarnation Monument and successfully reincarnated. I was the next one. But a fight broke out up there."

"Is there a fight going on up there?"

"I don't know. The situation was very chaotic. I only know that someone attacked us from above and created a breach in the underworld. At that time, the two masters, Black and White Impermanence, came and activated the Six Paths of Reincarnation Stele, hoping to send us to reincarnation. However, the process was interrupted and we fell into a coma. I don't know how long it took. Later, when we woke up, we found ourselves in your world."

"It seems now that we have not been reincarnated successfully, but are somewhere between souls and living people."

"How do you manage to hide your bodies?" Du Ping wondered. The hiding method of these ordinary ghosts was too advanced, even his spiritual sense could not see through it.

"It is a trace of the power of reincarnation left in us by the Six Paths of Reincarnation Monument. We have relied on this trace of power to protect ourselves until now."

The power of reincarnation? Jiang Li heard the familiar words and took out a book from his storage ring.

"Can you activate this thing?"

"Is this a counterfeit Book of Life and Death?" exclaimed a few ghosts who were still conscious. There were several vital immortal objects in the underworld, such as the Three Lives Stone, the Naihe Bridge, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Stele, the Book of Life and Death, etc. But because there were too many ghosts, the Yamas could not handle sharing one Book of Life and Death, so special circumstances allowed the Book of Life and Death to be counterfeited. Even so, the underworld only had a few counterfeit Books of Life and Death.

How could there be a replica of the Book of Life and Death in the world of the living?

Du Ping and Ji Kongkong didn't expect that Jiang Li had such a thing in his hand.

"I happened to see the Black and White Impermanence, so I borrowed it to have a look. I wanted to return it to them, but they left in a hurry and didn't have time to take it."

Xiaofang had a strange look on her face. The living and the dead were separated, the underworld could not interfere in the affairs of the living world, and the two masters, Black and White Impermanence, could not lend out the Book of Life and Death.

And he left in a hurry and didn't have time to take it. This doesn't seem right no matter how you think about it.

Several ghosts also looked at Jiang Li with strange eyes. Could it be that this Book of Life and Death was snatched from the hands of the two masters, Black and White Impermanence? "Excuse me, what realm are you in?"

"Mahayana stage."

Several ghosts looked at each other, none of them had ever heard of this realm.

"To activate the Book of Life and Death, one must be proficient in the way of life and death and reincarnation. We have barely mastered the basics, so we cannot activate it."

"Then do you know how to go to the underworld?" Jiang Li was curious. He was holding the Book of Life and Death and had been waiting for the Black and White Impermanence, wanting them to take him to the underworld, but no one showed up.

"We don't know where the underworld is either."

"Who caused the breach in the underworld, an external force or an internal conflict?"

Xiaofang shook her head: "I don't know. It was a fight between immortals and a huge force. We didn't even have the qualifications to watch the fight. We just had to run for our lives."

Another ghost said, "I suspect that the Ten Yama Kings are fighting. Two or three Yama Kings have always felt that there are too many ghosts and that we are disrupting the order of the underworld, so they want to send the extra ghosts to other worlds and open up a new underworld."

"But most Yamas disagreed, believing that there is only one underworld and that establishing a new one would undermine the dignity of the underworld."

"When I first came to the Jiuzhou world, I thought this was a newly established underworld, but later I discovered that this was the world of the living."

Xiaofang introduced: "This ghost has done a lot of good deeds and should be reincarnated into a wealthy family. Unfortunately, there are fewer living people in today's world, and even fewer wealthy families. He has been waiting in the underworld for more than a hundred years, so he has more experience than me."

"I heard that some Yamas felt that there were too many ghosts and decided to kill some of them, which led to conflicts between the Yamas. Is it possible that because of this, the conflicts between the Yamas intensified and they started fighting, affecting us?"

"Nonsense, no matter what, the Yamas will not kill us. I think there are external forces attacking the underworld."

"How ridiculous! The ghost messengers have all said that in all the heavens and the myriad worlds, all the dead will end up in the underworld. Only the immortal world is qualified to be compared with the underworld. Who will attack the underworld? The immortal world?"

"It's not impossible. Maybe a relative of a fairy boss died, and he came to the underworld in grief and anger to snatch that person away."

Several ghosts who were still conscious insisted on their own opinions and started arguing. No one could convince the other. The ghosts who were in a daze continued to be in a daze and had no reaction, as if they were used to it.

"I've been dead for 120 years. You should listen to me."

"Comparing seniority? I've been dead for 180 years, what did I say?"

"Look at how arrogant you are. If you don't know me, you might think you are going to be reincarnated as a celestial being."

"Everyone has to reincarnate into the human world. What's there to compare every day to see who has been dead the longest?"

Only Xiaofang stood aside obediently without saying a word.

She only says what she knows and doesn't make random guesses about what she doesn't know.

"From the sound of it, it seems that you are very familiar with the fairy world?" Ji Kongkong thought that the quarrel among these ghosts was very interesting and strange.

She thought ghosts were all scary, but she found out there were some so active. Her fear of ghosts was immediately reduced.

But she still felt uneasy when she saw those confused ghosts.

Xiaofang rolled her eyes. "The underworld gave us Mengpo soup to make us know less. We know very little. We only heard about the fairyland and Yama from the ghost messengers' idle chats. We just listened for fun. We don't even know who the Ten Yama Kings are."

Ji Kongkong was speechless. It turned out that these ghosts were just bragging.

Jiang Li listened for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Don't you suspect that it was done by the extraterritorial demon?"

"The demon from outside the realm? Never heard of it." Several ghosts had never heard of the demon from outside the realm.

The Mahayana stage didn’t know, and the extraterritorial demons didn’t know either. Jiang Li no longer expected to get any useful information from these ghosts.
