Reflecting Moon Sect, Illusion Rain Pavilion.
Inside the residence of You Ronglianxin.
A sinister atmosphere filled the room. Rong Lianxin hugged herself tightly, her heart trembling as she looked at the two Ghost Yin Saints in front of her, shrouded in eerie green light and surrounded by ghostly mist.
Unlike most holy land-level forces, the Ghost Underworld is ruled by two holy masters, one black and one white, who are usually called Black Impermanence and White Impermanence. Their titles are Registrar of Reincarnation and Judge of Life and Death.
The male saint before them, dressed in black robes, wearing a black pointed hat, holding a thick book that emitted a ghostly light, and with his face painted black, was the Reincarnation Master of the Ghost Yin Division, a cultivator at the Reincarnation Realm, in charge of the Book of Life and Death and the Mirror of Karma.
The female saint on the right, dressed in a white robe and hat, holding a long ink brush and with a white face, is another saintly master of the Ghost Underworld, the Judge of Life and Death, with the cultivation of the Life and Death Realm, wielding the Soul-Hooking Brush and the Three Lives Stone.
At this moment, the two ghostly officials had kind expressions and wore smiles that they thought were very friendly, but which were more terrifying than ghostly wails in You Rong Lianxin's eyes. They patiently persuaded You Rong Lianxin.
"Hehe, Heavenly Maiden, we two are not lying to you. You are the destined one that our Ghost Underworld has been waiting for for millions of years. As long as you obediently return to the Ghost Underworld with us and accept the inheritance of Lord Yama, you will control the cycle of life and death in this world from now on."
The Reincarnation Clerk chuckled sinisterly.
"Hehe, Heavenly Maiden, what is there to be afraid of? We are all family. As family, would we send you to the eighteenth level of hell to be tortured with knives and boiling oil for eternity?"
The judge of life and death said with a smile.
You Ronglian felt a chill run down her spine and trembled with fear. It was already this terrifying before she even went to the Underworld; she couldn't even imagine how frightening it would be once she did.
"I...I am a righteous person, how could I possibly join the demonic forces? My uncle is the future leader of the righteous path, if he knew that I had become the successor of the demonic path, how could he tolerate me?"
You Ronglian mustered her courage and said.
She didn't want to accept the inheritance of the Ghostly Underworld Goddess Yama. While fear was a factor, worrying about becoming like the two of them, neither human nor ghost, the main reason was that she didn't want to be at odds with Chi Yuan.
Putting aside her relationship and feelings with Chi Yuan, from the perspective of their positions, Chi Yuan would never tolerate her. The higher her status in the demonic path, the more serious her opposition to Chi Yuan would become, and it might eventually develop into a life-or-death struggle, with Chi Yuan personally eliminating her.
“Your words are incorrect, Heavenly Maiden. Just as people misunderstand my Ghost Underworld, you also have a deep misunderstanding of it.”
The Reincarnation Registrar solemnly said, "In fact, my Ghost Underworld is not a demonic force. In the mythological era, the Lord of my Ghost Underworld was a god who governed the cycle of life and death, and controlled the world's birth, aging, sickness, death, cause and effect."
"It can be said that the Ghost Yin Division is an existence that transcends both the demonic and righteous paths, because whether it is the demonic or righteous path, life and death are controlled by the Ghost Yin Division. As far as the Ghost Yin Division is concerned, there is no difference between the righteous and demonic paths. As long as someone is human, they are a part of the human world, and the Ghost Yin Division will treat them all equally and make judgments according to merit and karma."
"However, since the connection between heaven and earth was severed and the divine path was cut off, my Ghost Yin Division has gradually weakened. Originally, my Ghost Yin Division adhered to the principle of treating everyone equally and maintained neutrality between the demonic path and the righteous path. However, because some righteous supreme emperors were unwilling to abide by the cycle of heavenly principles and refused to face the cycle of life and death, my Ghost Yin Division was slandered as a demonic force."
"Not only that, but they also targeted and suppressed my Ghost Yin Division at all costs, forcing my Ghost Yin Division to collude with the demonic path and thus become a so-called demonic force."
The Judge of Life and Death echoed, "Heavenly Maiden, you are wise. The path that my Ghost Underworld follows is destined to be impartial and cannot favor any side. If it weren't for the slander and suppression, we wouldn't have fallen to the point of associating with the demonic forces."
“I know that the Heavenly Maiden is worried about opposing the One of the Great Fortune of All Ages. As long as the Heavenly Maiden is willing to accept Lord Yama’s inheritance, my Ghost Yin Division will immediately break away from the demonic camp and return to its original neutral stance.”
Listening to what the two were saying, a thoughtful look appeared in Rong Lianxin's eyes, and she began to waver.
If the Ghost Underworld is truly as the two people say, then it is indeed a neutral force, neither demonic nor righteous, but a fair judge who treats everyone equally.
At this moment, the Reincarnation Clerk said, "The reason why the Heavenly Abyss, which has plagued the world for hundreds of thousands of years, was able to form is also due to the decline of my Ghost Underworld, which lost the power to control the life and death of the Heavenly Abyss Supreme Emperor."
"The first Yama had foreseen this situation, so he left a legacy for the Heavenly Maiden, hoping that she could inherit his will, take charge of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and judge and punish those in the Ghost Realm who defied the natural order and brought disaster to the world!"
"I believe that those with great destiny throughout the ages will support you if they knew this."
You Rong Lianxin was truly moved this time, because as a person with great destiny throughout the ages, Chi Yuan would inevitably face the threat of Tianyuan once he became the leader of the righteous path. If she accepted the inheritance of the first generation Yama Heavenly Maiden, she would take on the heavy responsibility of judging Tianyuan. Wouldn't she then be on the same side as Chi Yuan?
After careful consideration, You Rong Lianxin raised her head, her pretty face solemn, and said, word by word, "I suppose your Ghost Underworld dares not get involved with my uncle's karma. As long as you can persuade my uncle to agree to this, I will agree to accept the inheritance!"
She couldn't be sure whether what the two people said was true or false, but she believed that the other party would definitely not dare to lie to Chi Yuan. As long as she could get past Chi Yuan's hurdle, then she wouldn't need to question it anymore.
"Okay, it's a deal!"
The Reincarnation Clerk and the Judge of Life and Death exchanged a smile, already fully confident about the matter.
...
In Chi Yuan's room,
Wenren Bingying nestled delicately in Chi Yuan's arms, her fair face flushed with happiness.
She finally achieved her goal and became Chi Yuan's woman!
"Ying'er, I will pass on a cultivation technique to you. When you go to the Northern Cold Divine Palace, you must cultivate it well."
Chi Yuan gazed gently at Wenren Bingying's pretty face and said.
"What kind of cultivation technique is it, my husband?"
Wenren Bingying blinked her bright eyes and asked curiously.
Chi Yuan smiled slightly, pointed his finger at Wenren Bingying's brow, and used one of his skill transfer attempts to pass on the Great Love Immortal Skill, the Path of Affection, to Wenren Bingying.
"This technique is amazing!"
After learning about it, Wenren Bingying's eyes flashed with surprise. She had never heard of such a miraculous technique before: one could rapidly improve one's cultivation level simply by relying on emotions.
More importantly, it relies on her feelings for Chi Yuan. With her feelings for Chi Yuan and this cultivation technique, her progress will surely be rapid.
Wenren Bingying's face lit up with joy. Ignoring Chi Yuan's strange gaze, she crawled out of Chi Yuan's arms and immediately sat cross-legged on the bed to cultivate.
