Li Nianfan was slightly scared. He asked in a frightened voice, “Really no problems in doing that?”

“It’s just the taste. It’s a bit awful but there’s nothing wrong with it.” White Impermanence shook his head and then said, “Can’t be helped. The Meng Po Soup tastes like that. There’s a nice saying in the Immortal Realm, ‘forgetting is in itself a painful thing’. Why’s it painful? Because the Meng Po Soup’s a pain to drink.”

The corner of Li Nianfan’s mouth twitched. ‘Where did he freaking hear this lousy saying from?

‘If they knew that forgetting was a painful thing to do, they should’ve made the soup tastier. They should’ve at least made it acceptable.’

They passed through the Naihe Bridge and arrived on the other side of the Acheron. He could see a lot of Onis guarding the place. He followed Black and White Impermanence and was soon at the door of the main hall. There was a huge sign on it, with ‘The Underworld’ written in big fonts.

The door was wide open. It was dark and hollow like a cave. It looked like a deadly beast that would devour anything. It was frightening to look at.

‘This is the real Underworld.’

They stepped in. There were no Immortal Realm lights, but there was a creepy dim green light. The surrounding walls were not made from materials, they were uneven rocks. It was as if the Underworld was made from carving a big hole in a rock.

The layout of the place was very simple and ugly. There was nothing much except for the little streams and huge rocks. However, there were a lot of little doors all around it. Ghosts kept coming in and out of them. Some of them floated here on their own. Some of them were arrested and escorted by Onis.

White Impermanence automatically became the tour guide, “Mr. Li, these ghosts are being sent to their specific locations based on their situations before their deaths. Some drank the Meng Po Soup and were going to reincarnate. Some were going to Hell. Or perhaps, they were being sent for judgment.”

Li Nianfan nodded. He was basically standing at a hub.

He asked, “Can I trouble you Sires to help me look for Yuecha, Jiese, and Yun Yiyi?”

Black Impermanence smiled and replied, “Mr. Li, you already informed us before. These three are with the Yama.”

Li Nianfan slightly raised his eyebrow. “They drank the Meng Po Soup?”

“No, no!” Black Impermanence shook his head continuously. He hurriedly said, “Mr. Li, since you already informed us about them, how could we let them drink the Meng Po Soup? However…their situations were abnormal.”

Li Nianfan was stumped. He asked curiously, “What situation?”

White Impermanence replied in a troubled voice, “I don’t know how that monk did it. He made his body into a vessel and contained tons of ghosts and souls. His body was like an enigma. He was still in deep sleep. So was the lady named Yun Yiyi. Her body went through some sort of transformation. The two of them won’t wake up, and it seems we can’t do anything about it either.”

‘What’s going on with those two? Even the Underworld can’t do anything?’

Li Nianfan was shocked. “Really?”

They immediately entered a door at the center. They walked for a while and came to the main hall.

They could hear the sound of someone striking a table before they got to the door.

Bam!

Then, they heard a cold and strict voice, “Sinner Qin Luyun. You’re a liar and a fraud. You’ve indirectly caused the deaths of two innocent people for no reason. You shall walk the animal route, be a dog in your next life!”

“I didn’t do anything seriously evil, I don’t think it’s fair!”

“You dare say that? Adding one more sin for you. Drag him out, be a pig in your next life. Your reward’s a bowl of Meng Po Soup.”

Soon, an Oni walked out with a lost soul, passing by everyone.

Li Nianfan had no sympathy for sinners like that. He entered the main hall and saw the General of the Bloody Sea. He was holding the Death Note and was acting as a temporary judge.

He saw Li Nianfan and immediately smiled. “Mr. Li.”

Li Nianfan saluted, “Greetings to the General.”

The General of the Bloody Sea knew why he came by. He did not delay the conversation. With a wave, an Oni immediately brought someone in.

Yuecha looked confused at first. Then, she looked like she realized what was going on once she saw Li Nianfan. She smiled awkwardly and said, “Mr. Li, who would’ve thought we’d see each other so soon?”

Li Nianfan smiled and nodded in response. He looked at Jiese and Yun Yiyi.

They were lying on the floor. They were not in ghost form yet. Their bodies were perfectly fine. They did not look like they were injured at all.

The weird part was that Jiese had a golden halo. It was shimmery and shiny, unlike Yun Yiyi. She had a sparkly black halo.

Li Nianfan could not tell what was going on. He just thought it was very odd.

He had to ask, “When will they wake up?”

White Impermanence shook his head and said, “I can’t say for sure. They might be in a coma forever if we don’t have a solution. Of course, maybe a miracle will happen. Maybe in the next moment, they will…”

He stopped in his tracks halfway through his sentence. He widened his eyes in disbelief.

‘This… This… This…

‘They woke up?!’

White Impermanence gulped. His face hurt.

Everyone simultaneously looked at Li Nianfan in awe. They saw that he looked surprised, too. The corners of their mouths twitched at that.

‘Bigshot, you’re such a good actor. We were just waiting for your arrival to help us the whole time, right?

‘You obviously did this, right?’

Jiese had an intense golden light. The light suddenly soared to the sky. They could visibly see countless howling souls in the golden light.

The souls were also helpless in the Underworld. They could not get out of Jiese.

Yun Yiyi had an intense darkness, too. She levitated and formed a weird spiral.

“This is…”

The General of the Bloody Sea had wide round eyes. His mouth was wide and round, too. He dazedly moved forward.

He kind of figured something out. He was astounded and excited at the same time.

At that moment, the Underworld was covered by a powerful aura. The creepy part was that they heard buzzing out of nowhere.

Buzz!

A horrifying airwave exploded with Jiese as the center. A golden light dragon soared to the sky and became a light pillar. It almost pierced through the Underworld.

Everyone in the Underworld saw the sky pillar, including the ones outside and the ones at the Naihe Bridge. They were shocked.

They felt fearful looking at the pillar. They hurriedly looked away. They did not dare to move.

Gradually, a figure of a pagoda slowly appeared in the light pillar. It spun slowly.

It was about a hundred and eight meters tall. Eighteen layers in total!

Meng Po was in disbelief. She trembled all over as she said, “The…the eighteen levels of Hell!”

Kaboom!

Another strong aura appeared.

Next to the golden light was an intense dark light. The darkness formed a black lotus that slowly spun. A groundbreaking aura was emitted.

Soon, the black lotus started to spin fast. It became a bottomless spiral. The jet-black spiral was like a wormhole.

Splat!

The ladle Meng Po was holding dropped into the pot of soup. Her brain seemed to lose the ability to think. She had existed for countless years, yet her state of mind was instantly shattered at that moment. If it were not for the many strangers around her, she probably would have danced and cheered.

“Reincarnation! That’s the Reincarnation! The Destructive Black Lotus represents destruction. A new life usually follows after destruction. The expert used the Destructive Black Lotus as a base to patch up the Reincarnation. This is…too, totally incredible!”

The Reincarnation and the eighteen layers of Hell were damaged. The Underworld seemed to be running properly on the surface, but deep down they could not solve the two huge issues. However, the Reincarnation and the eighteen layers of Hell were now fixed. The Underworld was whole again.

Meng Po kept mumbling, “I knew it. The visit of the expert is a sure blessing!”
