"Are there many volumes of the Yin Book?" Youyou asked.
“Of course, the Book of the Dead is divided into five parts!” The Underworld Envoy nodded and continued, “Each part exists in a different form, but it does not have a fixed physical form. It may change every once in a while, and only Hades can sense its existence.”
"Does that mean we can't find it at all!" You You's heart sank.
"That's not entirely true." The Underworld Envoy gave her a cool look, and said in a flat tone, "Isn't the 'Now' volume in the Book of the Dead easy to find?"
"Golden Scroll?" You You was taken aback. "Where?"
“It’s with you!” The Underworld Messenger pointed at her.
"ha?"
Are you kidding me?! The Book of Yin and Yang is with her, how come she doesn't know about it?
“It is indeed right here!” Seeing her disbelief, the Underworld Envoy stepped forward, still smiling sinisterly, and said, “I heard from the Soul Beasts that you successfully summoned it with a spell last time and even sent a batch of souls to be reincarnated, didn’t you?” Nothing but the Book of the Underworld has this ability. “If you don’t believe me, you can try summoning it with a spell again.”
"A spell? You mean..." She instantly remembered the "Transcendental Journey" skill she used when helping the soul beast collect its soul last time, and subconsciously blurted out, "I'll send you away, a thousand miles away..."
Before she could finish speaking, a bright golden light suddenly shone from her hand, and a palm-sized roulette wheel appeared in her palm, exactly the same as the one she summoned when she activated the skill last time, only this one was a mini version.
It's really out! Was it really that simple?
"Wait...didn't the soul beast say this was the Wheel Seal?" Youyou was a little confused. She really didn't know that her skill could summon such a thing.
“The Wheel Seal is one of the forms of the Golden Scroll. The other four scrolls will also have their own forms.” The Underworld Envoy explained matter-of-factly, “When His Majesty summoned it last time, it established a connection with His Majesty, so it can be summoned at any time.”
“Five volumes…” Youyou glanced at the roulette wheel that had appeared in his hand and casually said, “If this is called the Golden Scroll, then the name of the five volumes of the Yin Book is: Five Volumes of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth!”
"No!" The Underworld Messenger shook his head, saying seriously, "It's called 'No Work Today' Volume Five!"
Youyou: "..."
Feng Rong: "..."
Yuan Qi: "..."
The entire room fell silent...
Are you kidding me?!
(╯'□′)╯┴—┴
What do you mean I'm not working today? I get paid today and am on my annual leave!
So the "gold" you were talking about is this "today"?
“Really!” The Underworld Messenger thought they didn’t believe him, so he continued to explain, “These five were personally chosen by my lord, the King of the Underworld!” For once, a serious expression appeared on his usually cold face, as if to say, “Go ahead and despise me, it’s none of my business.”
The three of them were speechless. They suddenly didn't want to look for the book anymore and wanted to finish it immediately. What was going on?
Youyou's lips twitched, and he suddenly felt a deep concern for the future of the underworld.
"Where should we look for the remaining four volumes?"
"I don't know!" The Underworld Messenger shook his head.
Are there specific conditions or methods for its occurrence?
"I don't know!"
"You must know what it looks like, right?"
"I don't know!"
"..."Then what use are you!
"However, Your Majesty need not be too hasty," the Underworld Envoy continued. "The Book of the Underworld is, after all, an object of the Underworld. Although it has run away from home, it will likely appear in places related to the Underworld. If Your Majesty truly wishes to find it, perhaps you could visit places where spirits gather, or collect fragments of souls. Perhaps you could encounter the four volumes of 'Heaven Doesn't Work'!"
Yu You tried to ignore the name that was full of sarcastic remarks. She glanced at the roulette wheel that had suddenly appeared in her hand and thought carefully about when she summoned the "Now" scroll. It was indeed a time of chaos in the underworld, and it was indeed a place related to the underworld.
but……
She turned to look at the still expressionless underworld messenger, frowned, and said, "Why do I feel like you're trying to trick me into working for you?" Gathering spirits and scattering remnants of souls—isn't that just the underworld messenger's daily job?
The Underworld Envoy froze for a moment, but immediately forced a chilling smile and said, "Your Excellency misunderstands. I only sincerely wish to help. As for collecting souls, that's just something I did incidentally. My Underworld has me and the soul beast, which is more than enough. There is absolutely no situation where we lack soul-collecting skills and need Your Excellency's help, really!"
Youyou: "..."
Feng Rong: "..."
Yuan Qi: "..."
You just blurted it out! This is definitely a scam! Also, are you and the soul beast the only two staff members in the entire Underworld?
Suddenly remembering what he had just mentioned about Hades, Youyou couldn't help but ask a question.
“You just said that Hades left. Can you ask him what he went to do?” Youyou asked.
"We can't possibly fathom the actions of Hades!" The Underworld Envoy shook his head, then, as if remembering something, continued, "However, before Hades left, he did leave a note that mentioned..."
"What are you saying?"
"Our lord said: The Six Realms are so vast, he wants to go and see them!"
"..."
Well, your underworld is hopeless! Destroy it!

Qiu Zhang felt that the sect's venerable elders had been acting strangely lately. Specifically, two of the venerable elders would occasionally cast him pity, sympathy, and a hint of worry in their eyes. Even Venerable Feng Rong, who was usually short-tempered and didn't like to talk to anyone except the sect leader, surprisingly handed him a bag of burnt melon seeds.
Normally, aside from the time when the nuts are ripe and harvested, the disciples who volunteer to help would receive a portion of his gifts. Otherwise, no one except the sect leader could get these from him, not even if they were burnt! Even the prizes for the last final competition were given out from the sect leader.
Now, the other party was actually giving it to him, which really startled Qiu Zhang. What's more, after giving it to him, the other party patted him on the shoulder earnestly and said, "Eat and drink as you please from now on, and be happy!"
Qiu Zhang was completely bewildered, but he discovered that Venerable Yuan Qi was also intentionally or unintentionally making things convenient for him in various ways. Not only did he deliberately sit next to him to accelerate his comprehension of the technique when he was improving it, but he would also sincerely say to him every time they met, "Everything will be alright!"
Qiu Zhang: "..."
No, what's going on? What happened to him?
He even doubted whether his cultivation technique or his cultivation level had gone wrong, or whether he had contracted some incurable disease that would cause his soul to scatter. He repeatedly examined his soul body but found nothing wrong. He even endured his fear and had a soul beast examine him again while drooling, but they still found nothing wrong.
Only after confirming that he was still a positive, healthy, and stable soul did I slowly put my worries aside. Perhaps the Venerable One had simply become more benevolent?
Until one day, the sect leader patted him on the shoulder and sighed deeply, "Qiu Zhang! What do you think... about changing your cultivation method? The kind that doesn't involve ghost cultivation?" Ghost cultivation has no future! He then added, "Don't overthink it, I'm just asking!"
"..."
