The fairy nodded and led the immortals along the town's road. The road was narrow, and although the houses on both sides were only two or three stories high, Wang Yao felt as if he had entered a deep alley.
When the passing immortals saw the cloud-riding beast on Wang Yao's shoulder, their eyes revealed curiosity and envy, and several of them even smiled and greeted the immortals in a friendly manner.
"I thought the Zhenxie Immortal City would be magnificent and grand, but I never expected..." Wang Yao walked on the bluestone road, watching the immortals who looked like ordinary villagers occasionally walk by, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Is this your first time in the Immortal Realm?" Liu Xikai asked Wang Yao with a smile.
“I’ve been to the Immortal Realm many times, but this is my first time visiting an Immortal City,” Wang Yao replied.
"No wonder, everyone who comes to the Immortal Realm from the Human Realm for the first time has this feeling. You have no idea how much more difficult it is to build an Immortal City than a city in the Human Realm. Our Immortal Realm is full of wild and strange beasts, some of which even Mahayana Immortals find troublesome."
"Therefore, immortal cities are all opened up little by little. Once an area is cleared out, when it is necessary to expand, a new city wall must be built. Many runes and formations must be set up on the city wall, and many gems and talismans must be inlaid. The cost is extremely high."
"Don't underestimate this Zhenxie Immortal City just because it's small and inconspicuous. Without tens of millions of years of gradual development and countless treasures being piled up one by one, it would never have reached its current scale."
"This is because there are more mature immortals now, and their demands for city life are getting higher. If it were when there were more new immortals, an immortal could easily find a cave in the desolate immortal realm and live there for tens of millions of years, then the construction of cities would be much slower," Liu Xikai said from the side.
"This is the inner city, the very center of Zhenxie Immortal City. Zhenxie Heavenly Prison is still in the outer city, requiring you to cross three city walls to get there." The fairy maiden leading the way knew that Wang Yao was worried about Xi Fu, so she introduced the area to him as they walked.
"Let's do it this way!" Cao Xian suddenly said in a deep voice, as if he had made a decision, which made Wang Yao and the others look at him in surprise.
"Director Cao, what are you thinking about? Have you been away from the Immortal Realm for so long that the sight of it has stirred up some memories?" Liu Xikai asked from the side.
"Touch your head my foot! I was just here in Zhenxie Immortal City last month, and I'm already feeling emotional? Are you kidding me for being too sentimental?" Cao Xian cursed Liu Xikai, then turned to look at Wang Yao.
“Little Wang, this is how it’s going to be. When you go down to see King Yama, just make your demands. I’ll support you wholeheartedly. Not only should you ban the sale of human-machines, but you should also change that Mo’s fate. Also, let me teach you a trick: can’t the Kings of Hell shut down your underworld interface?” Cao Xian said.
"The method is all in a magic artifact called the Netherworld Connector. This Netherworld Connector can block all communication between the Netherworld and the outside world. The Heavenly Court has long been dissatisfied with that thing. The Immortal Realm has the Immortal Realm Connector because the Immortal Realm, as the leading realm of the six realms, encounters many dangers and of course needs to be protected."
“But apart from the human realm, which doesn’t have a Netherworld Pass, all the other realms have this thing. If something doesn’t go their way, they strip other realms of their authority in this realm. What kind of thing is that? You can make one request: that this Netherworld Pass be brought under the management of the Heavenly Court.”
"If Yama really agrees, the Heavenly Emperor will be overjoyed and rewarding you with tens of thousands of merit points shouldn't be a problem," Cao Xian said from the side.
"Underworld Connection?" Wang Yao blinked and nodded, inwardly cursing Xi Fuzhen for being such a troublemaker. There were only six realms in total, and he had messed up all of them with that magical artifact.
Fortunately, there is no connection between the human and the real worlds. If there were, it's hard to say whether the human world would still exist.
"How could that be? Yama would definitely not agree to this request. They don't even want to use Heavenly Court technology for elevators..." Fairy turned around in astonishment and stared at Cao Xian.
"Disagree? If you disagree, then Xiao Wang will leave, and we'll all leave too. I'm here to help you through your tribulations in the underworld, and you keep making excuses for even the smallest requests. No wonder Xiao Wang is angry and leaves. Even I, Cao Xian, and even you, He Xiangu, will be angry and leave."
"It's not that we shouldn't have accepted the calamity; it's just that Yama's attitude was too wicked!" Cao Xian said righteously and sternly.
"Brilliant! Director Cao, you're amazing! I never knew you were so cunning!" Liu Xikai reacted the fastest, jumping up and hugging Cao Xian, showering him with kisses on the face and praising him incessantly.
"Is this...appropriate?" The fairy maiden frowned, not understanding Cao Xian's meaning. Wang Yao also stopped, guessing the reason in his heart, wondering if Cao Xian wanted to use him as a shield?
"Pah, pah, pah, what are you doing? Don't you have any semblance of an immortal?" Cao Xian, her face flushed, pushed Liu Xikai away and wiped the spot on her face where Liu Xikai had kissed her several times with her sleeve before turning her head and looking at the fairy maiden with an air of composure.
“Other reasons can be used to find problems, but there’s nothing wrong with the Underworld Connection,” Cao Xian said meaningfully.
"That's right, why does our Heavenly Court have to come to the Underworld to face tribulation? Isn't it because the Underworld is part of our Six Realms? Only by offering the Underworld Pass can the Underworld prove its attitude towards the Heavenly Court and set an example for the other four realms?" The fairy blinked and clapped her hands, laughing.
“If Yama doesn’t give it to us, it means the Underworld has ulterior motives. Not only will I, Liu Xikai, be driven away in anger, but Cao Xian, Xiangu, and even I will be driven away in anger. Do you think the Underworld office is just for show?” Liu Xikai laughed from the side.
“Little Wang, once the Underworld is brought under the control of the Heavenly Court, you will no longer have to worry about the Underworld being shut down. Who in the Heavenly Court will care about such trivial matters?” The fairy said to Wang Yao with a smile.
Wang Yao scratched his head. "That's right," he thought, "this is a solution that solves the problem once and for all."
