Yang Cheng originally thought that killing the Mighty Ghost King would leave behind some fragments of power, just like killing the Mindful Ghost King, but it didn't.
It's possible that the only special thing about the Mighty Demon King is his superhuman strength; his power lies only in his physical body, so it's normal that there are no fragments left behind.
His enormous bone hammer could be stored in his storage space, but it was so big that one of them could almost fill the entire space.
Yang Cheng had no choice but to take out some of the food and water he had prepared for his last trip to the Tower World before putting them into his storage space.
Having settled these matters, Yang Cheng then went to retrieve the inheritance of the Lord of Mount Tai.
The same applies to this time's inheritance fragments; there's only 1% available.
After returning to the safe house, Yang Cheng rested and recuperated until he was back to his peak condition before drawing runes to summon the people of the underworld.
Yang Cheng was also wary of the people from the underworld; you could say that he was gambling with his actions.
Honestly, I've been using Yeguo Reading to read and follow my favorite books lately. It has easy source switching, multiple reading voice options, and is compatible with both Android and Apple devices. (yeguoyuedu)
However, he didn't want to back down to Lingshan, so he took a gamble, introducing a fourth party to completely overturn the table and muddy the waters.
As the runes of the underworld were drawn, the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) surged into them, and a dazzling light shone from the runes.
But things were not quite what Yang Cheng had imagined. No one came out of the formation created by Fu Wenhua; only a head was visible.
The head that appeared was pale and handsome, with white hair; it belonged to Fang Mingjun, the Night Wanderer.
Upon seeing Yang Cheng, Fang Mingjun said with slight surprise, "I thought someone was summoning me, but I didn't expect it to be you."
"So, you've finally decided to join my Underworld?"
Back in the Great Zhou world, Fang Mingjun did indeed have high hopes for Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng's crazy and decisive spirit is something that many underworld officials would like.
But Yang Cheng's strength was too weak at that time.
Although he obtained the divine inheritance, he still only had the cultivation level of the Eight Gates Realm. With this kind of strength, he would still be cannon fodder in the cycle of reincarnation.
One must at least reach the Seven Star Realm to be considered an entry-level practitioner among the many reincarnators.
So Fang Mingjun still thinks that Yang Cheng has reached the Seven Star Realm and is preparing to join the Underworld.
However, joining the underworld is not so easy.
Even with Yang Cheng's current strength, he would have to go through numerous tests to join the Underworld.
Yang Cheng shook his head and said, "I don't want to join the Underworld. I want to make a deal with the Underworld."
Fang Mingjun was taken aback and asked in surprise, "What did you say? You want to make a deal with me?"
Yang Cheng corrected him, "It's not about making a deal with you, it's about making a deal with the 'underworld'."
Fang Mingjun was so angry he laughed: "Kid, do you even know what you're talking about? Do you even have the right to make a deal with the underworld?"
Yang Cheng said expressionlessly, "I have 1% of the Taishan Prefecture Lord's inheritance. I think this should be very useful to the Underworld, right?"
Upon hearing the words "the legacy of the Lord of Mount Tai," Fang Mingjun's expression immediately changed.
"What did you say?! You really have the inheritance of the Lord of Mount Tai?"
Yang Cheng said in a deep voice, "Since I dared to summon you, of course I have something to say about it. Otherwise, would I dare to use such a thing to deceive the underworld? Wouldn't that be courting death?"
Upon hearing Yang Cheng's words, Fang Mingjun's attitude also became serious.
"How did you acquire this title of Lord of Mount Tai? What do you wish to trade?"
Yang Cheng retorted, "What's wrong with you now? Why is only your head showing?"
Fang Mingjun rolled his eyes and said, "Even the underworld can't just cross worlds at will, okay? That's too much trouble."
Furthermore, one must first ascertain the upper limit of power in this world so as to suppress one's strength before entering; otherwise, causing the world to collapse would also bring misfortune upon oneself.
I'm only sending a wisp of power and a phantom image through the crack right now. I can only come here after I've confirmed things."
Yang Cheng nodded and told Fang Mingjun about their mission in this world and the matter of Lingshan letting Da Zizai Tianxia descend to the world. He only concealed the fact that he had killed the Mighty Ghost King and obtained a copy of the Taishan Prefecture Lord's inheritance.
After listening, Fang Mingjun sneered, "Those monks from Lingshan are really eager for the inheritance of the Netherworld. They even tried to lure and capture people from my Underworld to seize the inheritance of the Ten Kings of Hell."
Even if the inheritance from the Lord of Mount Tai is only 1%, it would be enough to excite them.
After saying that, Fang Mingjun said in a deep voice, "Yang Cheng, this is not something I can decide on my own. I need to report to my superiors before making a decision."
What do you want in exchange for 1% of the Taishan Prefecture Lord's legacy?
Yang Cheng said in a deep voice, "It's very simple. I'm being driven to the brink by the monks of Lingshan. The fact that you've come to help me deal with the people of Lingshan is already the greatest help you can give me."
I dare not hope for too much of what's left; whatever the underworld gives me, I will take.
Fang Mingjun gave Yang Cheng a deep look, and said with a half-smile, "You're quite clever. Don't worry, the Underworld is very generous in its dealings."
If Yang Cheng were to be tactless and ask for too much, the underworld might give it to him, but he would certainly be unhappy about it.
But now Yang Cheng is putting himself in a very low position, accepting whatever you give him, which makes the underworld feel embarrassed to just throw him some things to get rid of him.
Yang Cheng's first condition was to deal with the people of Lingshan, but based on the news that Lingshan wanted to seize the inheritance of the Lord of Mount Tai, they had no choice but to take action to seize the inheritance of the Lord of Mount Tai, without Yang Cheng even having to ask.
