"Um... The Heavenly Court has decreed that, in order to support the Underworld in its fight against the corpse energy, all activities related to resisting the Underworld's corpse energy only require this humble immortal to report; registration is unnecessary," the immortal hurriedly said.
"The Heavenly Court loves to do this kind of superficial work. How much time can a registration process take? They'd be better off distributing the disaster relief supplies as soon as possible. Dean Li and the others are getting impatient." The fairy muttered as she turned around.
Wang Yao looked back and saw that the wooden door of the toilet stall where they had come from was gone. Behind them was an elevator door just like the one in Liu Fu's office. He saw that the fairy had already pressed a button next to the elevator door, and the elevator door opened immediately.
Although he knew that according to Gu Qi, this should be the Zhenxie Immortal City, the cross-dimensional passage of the Zhenxie Immortal City was actually the same as that of the Civilization Building, both located in the same elevator. Wang Yao's idea of taking a look at the environment of the Zhenxie Immortal City along the way was thus thwarted.
After all, he had already told the fairy that he wasn't in a hurry to see Xi Fu this time. It wouldn't be right to suggest going to the Immortal City for a stroll now. He hesitated for a moment, and then involuntarily followed the three into the elevator.
The elevator was not very spacious, similar to a regular elevator. Compared to the Civilization Building, it only lacked a few advertising posters. Wang Yao saw the fairy press the button to go to the 18th basement level.
"Thank you for your hard work, Fairy! Please be careful!" Even as the elevator doors closed, Wang Yao could still hear the doorman's enthusiastic greeting.
"The entrances to the Celestial Realm have been almost completely renovated, while the other realms haven't done much work. You think the Heavenly Court can do anything to you just because we've renovated an entrance? You're all so petty and narrow-minded. Look how convenient the Heavenly Court is; it has elevators that take you directly there, and you can get wherever you want in no time."
The fairy maiden grumbled there, clearly dissatisfied. Gu Qi simply smiled awkwardly but didn't reply.
With a whoosh, the elevator doors opened again, and Wang Yao knew that he had arrived at the tenth floor of the Underworld. As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he was met with complete darkness. In the darkness, a large patch of multicolored light appeared in front of him, accompanied by a rumbling and noisy sound, which made him feel a little confused for a moment.
He blinked several times before he could see his surroundings clearly.
This place felt like a movie theater screening room, with a large screen in front of you playing a movie. Wang Yao had actually seen this movie before; he quite enjoyed watching it before he transmigrated.
"Reverence the gods in heaven, love your woman, protect your motherland..." A foreign god recites the lines on the screen with great seriousness.
"Damn! Foreign films are really something else! Listen to what they say—concise yet profound!" The scene abruptly stopped, and a lazy voice echoed in the darkness. "May I ask which celestial being has graced the underworld with their presence?"
"He Xiangu, member of the Heavenly Court's Six Realms Security Committee, deputy director of the Female Immortals' Rights Protection Center, leader of the Heavenly Court's advance team to rescue the underworld from calamities, staff member of the Heavenly Court's office in the human realm, Immortal Yue Lao, and judge Gu Qi, the master of floor zero..."
"We are accompanied by Wuying, a first-level inspector of the Peace Path on Floor Zero. In order to resist the great calamity of corpse energy, we have specially gone to the eighteenth floor to face the tribulation. Please guide us to the entrance of the Underworld Passage of Taiqing Immortal City," Gu Qi said loudly.
"Oh, Old Gu, didn't you just go down? Why are you back up?" As the voice spoke, the lights in the screening room were turned on. Wang Yao saw that the screening room could seat four or five hundred people, but there was only one ghost standing in the middle, curiously looking at them.
"Oh dear, it's because they called again from above, saying that they've been invaded by a spirit, and they've specially invited the Fairy Maiden to go up and deal with the tribulation," Gu Qi said.
"Essence? Isn't it just corpse energy? How can there be essence?" The ghost became even more curious.
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? According to the fairy, there are spirits on my floor too. I just don't understand. I've been working diligently for many years and haven't done a single thing that's against heaven and earth. I swear to God, how come this kind of bad luck has befallen me?" Gu Qi complained.
When Wang Yao heard him say that he had never done anything immoral, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. Gu Qi pretended not to hear and just looked at the ghost standing in the middle of the screening room.
"That's normal. Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get." The ghost muttered a line from a Western movie, pretending to be profound, before turning to look at Wuying, who now only had a head left.
"You...you're the Level 1 Inspector of the Peace Corridor on Floor Zero? How did you end up looking like this?"
"My name is Wuying... something unexpected happened," Wuying replied.
"Damn it, God will take away the best things from us to remind us that we have received too much." That ghost actually spouted another line.
"This ghost is just too ridiculous!" Wang Yao finally couldn't help but laugh, and Wu Ying could only cough awkwardly.
"Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and get to Taiqing Immortal City. Everyone's busy." The fairy maiden snapped impatiently.
"My Lady Fairy, it's obvious you don't watch movies often. Although being an immortal is carefree, doesn't your immortal life feel dull and boring without watching movies?" The ghost waved to everyone and walked towards the exit of the screening room, muttering to himself as he went.
"This kid was just as talkative last time. Doesn't anyone in the underworld have anything to do with him?" The fairy maiden followed Gu Qi toward the ghost with a dark face.
“All the ghosts on the tenth floor are like this. You haven’t even seen the ghosts in the creative group yet. They’re even more talkative than this guy,” Gu Qi whispered to the fairy.
Wang Yao watched as the ghost pushed open the door to the screening room's exit. To his astonishment, a ray of sunlight streamed into the screening room through a corner of the open door. He rubbed his eyes and looked again, realizing he wasn't mistaken; it was indeed sunlight!
