Zhang Ruochen glanced towards Mu Lingshi, only to see, she stood woodenly on the side, a bit soulful and pathetic, not the slightest bit of her usual smiling and playful appearance.
Zhang Ruochen coldly said, “Send her back immediately.”
“I’m not sending her back, if you want to send her back, you send her back yourself, this Emperor came to the netherworld for the purpose of retrieving the Empress.”Little Black raised a rounded cat face and simply ignored Zhang Ruochen.
“Growing up?”
Zhang Ruochen clenched his fists and walked over, banging on the top of Xiao Hei’s head as if he was knocking on a wooden fish, the sound was very loud.
“Are you sending it or not? Believe it or not, I’ll take you back to the Scroll World right now and reseal you.”Zhang Ruochen was very irritated, Little Black was also too ignorant, how could he bring Mu Lingshi in such a dangerous place?
“Zhang Ruochen, you don’t have to blame Little Black, it’s none of its business, it’s me who shouldn’t have forced it to bring me here.”Mu Lingshi’s eyes were constantly flowing with tears.
Little Black hurriedly said, “That’s right, she was forcing her to die at that time, and this Emperor was helpless as well.”
Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath, stared at Mu Lingshi, and said, “The netherworld is too dangerous, the slightest slip up, even a Saint would be doomed ……”
Without waiting for Zhang Ruochen to speak, Mu Lingshi said, “I’m not afraid of danger. I’m not afraid of a million catastrophes, I’m only worried that you will be in a million catastrophes. Do you understand?”
Zhang Ruochen was silent for a moment and grabbed Mu Lingshi’s wrist, saying, “Come with me, I’ll send you out first, the Perishing Tomb Forest is not a place you should come to.”
“Zhang Ruochen, let go. You’re not my nobody, so it’s none of your business what I’m going to do.”
Mu Lingshi mobilised her Sacred Qi and her arm quickly retracted, turning into a white light as she drew away from Zhang Ruochen’s hand and retreated into the distance.
However, she had only just stood on her feet when she coughed violently and spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Are you injured? Is it badly hurt?”
Zhang Ruochen immediately walked over and helped Mu Lingshi up, and ignoring her struggles, he once again clasped her wrist and sent a Holy Qi into her meridians to investigate the injuries on her body.
Zhang Ruochen withdrew his Sacred Qi, stared Avray at her, and said, “You’re too badly injured, you must recuperate immediately, go to the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram first to heal your injuries.”
This time, Mu Lingshi did not refuse because she knew that even if she did, Zhang Ruochen would definitely still send her into the Diagram World.
However, Mu Lingshi was already very content, at least Zhang Ruochen still cared about her well-being.
After Zhang Ruochen sent Mu Lingshi into the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram, for some reason, his heart both held a touching feeling, yet it was also quite difficult to bear.
Shi Ren single-handedly carried that one Impermanent who was fixed by the talisman and walked over without slowing down, throwing that Impermanent towards the ground. With a pair of gazes, he stared over towards Zhang Ruochen and said, “So, you are that, the legendary Time Successor.”
Earlier, when Zhang Ruochen had performed the Spatial Shift, Shi Ren had already begun to suspect his identity.
By the time Zhang Ruochen had used the Ruyi Treasure Vase and collected an Impermanent into the vase, Shi Ren had already determined that he must be the Time and Space Successor without a doubt.
“Zhang Ruochen, who is this person? Since he knows your identity, he must be silenced.”
Little Black gave an order to the first rat, and with that, a cat and a rat, in the form of two shadows, rushed out, appearing on Shi Ren’s left and right sides.
Shi Ren appeared rather calm, only, when he saw the first rat, a strange colour flashed in his eyes, obviously recognising the identity of the first rat. He laughed, “Brother Zhang, is this your hospitality?”
“Little Black, no rudeness.”
.Zhang Ruochen frankly admitted it down and said, “That’s right, I am indeed the one that the people are talking about, the Time Successor, Zhang Ruochen.”
Once one entered the netherworld, it was a path of nine deaths, and it was still unknown if one could get out alive. Thus, there was nothing to hide about the identity of the Time and Space Successor.
“Yet, I have heard that you died long ago under the sword of the Nine Netherworld Sword Saint.”Shi Ren said solemnly.
Zhang Ruochen laughed and said, “Can’t a dead person come back to life?”
A fervent light flashed across Shi Ren’s calm eyes as he said, “Could it be that you have taken the Resurrection Pill?”
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “There is no such thing as a pill to bring the dead back to life in the world, it’s just a figment of the world’s imagination as they don’t dare to face death.”
Shi Ren clenched his fists tightly, and the look on his face was quite painful.
In fact, he didn’t believe that there was really any medicine to raise the dead in the world. Only, even if there was only a glimmer of hope, he absolutely could not give up, and must go and explore, even if it meant paying the price of his life.
Anyone who broke into the netherworld, who didn’t have the determination to die for sure?
“No, Zhang Ruochen you would be wrong this time, the Resurrection of the Dead Pill is real, at least, during the Middle Ages, this Emperor has seen one.”Little Black said.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes narrowed as he stared over towards Little Black and said, “What did you say? You’ve seen the Resurrection Pill?”
Shi Ren also revealed a hint of joy and said, “You’ve really seen the Rising Death Pill?”
Xiao Hei nodded and said, “That Resurrection Pill grew in a deity’s medicinal garden, and it was that deity who used his own divine blood to water it, causing it to transform into a divine medicine. After the deity fell, the deity’s descendant gave him the divine medicine that raised the dead, causing the deity to reawaken and live a second life.”
Although, Little Black spoke in a decent manner, however, Zhang Ruochen still didn’t quite believe its words. After all, this one fat cat was very unreliable, and very often, always liked to talk big.
Shi Ren said, “Some time ago, I don’t know who passed out a message claiming that the divine corpse of the deity that the Thousand Bones Empress had beheaded back then had fallen in the depths of the Perishable God’s Tomb Forest. The divine blood in the divine corpse came together and after 100,000 years of nurturing, it turned into a divine medicine that brought the dead back to life.”
“The medicinal properties of the divine medicine are enough to bring the dead back to life. Even someone who has been dead for ten thousand years can come back to life by taking it.”
“It is precisely because I heard of this piece of news that I came to break into the Perishable God Tomb Forest, wanting to find the Resurrection Pill and bring it back to save my beloved wife.”
Zhang Ruochen held a doubtful attitude and said, “Life and death is a natural law that no one can reverse.”
Xiao Hei shook his head and said, “Since life and death are natural laws, why is it that the lifespan of cultivators far exceeds that of ordinary people? Zhang Ruochen, you need to know that cultivating the Sacred Dao is all about longevity, it is breaking the laws of nature. While cultivators are enquiring about the Holy Dao, they are also enquiring about the mysteries of life and death.”
“The reason why God, can be called God, is because, God has already enlisted the Holy Dao and reached another realm that we cannot imagine. What we cannot do, Gods, may not be unable to do.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “However, gods can also die.”
“At least I’ve seen with my own eyes that there was a god that lived a second life.”Little Black argued.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes, became sharp as he said, “Is there really a divine medicine in the world that can bring the dead back to life? Can it bring a soul back to life?”
Xiao Hei Bai glanced at Zhang Ruochen and said, “If it’s a general state of death, as long as the time of death is within a few days, the degree of damage to the physical body is not too great. In the Kunlun Realm, the topmost alchemists would be able to revive him. Where is the need for a Resurrection Pill?”
“Moreover, legend has it that if someone cultivates into a Great Saint of Spiritual Power, they can also communicate with heaven and earth and summon their souls. Even if, the cultivator has already lost his soul, he can still use his powerful spiritual power to summon his soul fragments, back again.”
“Just now, what this Emperor said are all means of the Saint Dao.”
“As for the Resurrection Pill, however, it has already crossed over to the heights of the Dao of the Gods, not to mention a dead person, even a white bone can grow flesh and blood and live another life.”
Zhang Ruochen thought of the Xuan Gui Sword Saint, if, in the depths of the Perishable Tomb Forest, there was really a Resurrection Pill, even if he had to fight for his life, he would have to snatch it.
Zhang Ruochen stared towards Shi Ren and said, “Brother Shi, do you know who actually spread the news about the Rising Death Pill?”
Shi Ren shook his head and said, “Not quite sure, I only know that after the Boundary Son Banquet, news came out one after another. No one knew if the news was true or false, therefore, no one dared to rush into the netherworld for fear of encountering something untoward.”
“It was until, the undead army of the netherworld, went forward to attack the Two Element Sect. It was only then that some of them, finally made up their minds and intended to go forward to the netherworld to investigate. Some of them, because their lifespan was about to run out, had to search for the Resurrection Pill, wanting to renew their lives. Some, however, were ambitious and prepared to seize the Resurrection Pill to resurrect the Great Sage level old ancestors in their families.”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t lose his mind just because of the Rising Death Pill, instead, he revealed a contemplative look and said, “Why do I feel that this is most likely a trap. If there really is a Rise from the Dead Pill, who would news it out so loudly?”
“Besides, the netherworld is a place where there is no return, since this is the case, who would know that there is a pill to raise the dead here? Unless there is someone, who has ever walked out from the netherworld.”
Shi Ren also nodded and said, “I also know that this is most likely a conspiracy. However, even if there is only a sliver of hope, I must put up a fight.”
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze, fixed on the changeless one on the ground, and said, “Perhaps, it is possible to ask something from his mouth.”
Shi Ren nodded and produced a snap of his index finger, pointing it out, striking the top of the talisman on that impermanent’s chest, retracting some of the tattoo imprints on the talisman.
A few moments later, that impermanent awoke and opened a pair of ghostly eyes that were burning with flames.
“Tell me, where did that deity from the Middle Ages fall? If, you don’t answer, I can make you go up in smoke right now.”Shi Ren said.
That Impermanent, roared and struggled violently.
However, he had only just moved, when the talisman on his chest, immediately surged out a dozen of lightning bolts, splitting his ghostly body into wisps of black smoke.
Eventually, that impermanent quieted down, his chest heaving unceasingly as he laughed grimly, ”You guys are trying to go searching for divine corpses? Haha! I advise you guys to die of that one heart.”
Xiao ****: “What’s the point of talking so much nonsense with him? Divine Demon Mouse, eat his left leg first.”
Out of a hee hee laugh, immediately walked out, mouth revealing sharp teeth, born tongue, licked above that impermanent’s left leg, about to move its mouth to bite down.
That impermanent’s face, also changed slightly, and hurriedly said, “Okay, I can tell you guys. However, I also only know the general direction, and I don’t know the exact location. If you guys really want to look for the divine corpse, you can head to the Divine Primordial Ghost King’s territory, and it is said that the divine corpse fell there.”
It also didn’t matter if this impermanent, was telling the truth or not, at least it proved one thing, that there was once indeed a deity that fell in the netherworld. And, most likely, a corpse was left behind.
Immediately after, Zhang Ruochen and the others, continued to interrogate and learnt a lot of useful information.
According to this Impermanent, the territory of the netherworld was quite vast, giving birth to countless Ghost Kings.
Each Ghost King had their own territory. There were hundreds of Ghost Kings that he had heard of by name alone. As for, the depths of the netherworld, even he had never been there, and had no idea just how vast the netherworld’s territory was? Nor did he know if there was an end to the netherworld?
This time, when the gates of the Yang Realm opened, it was only a small number of those Ghost Kings that had led the army of the undead to escape. Some of the ghost kings who were too far away simply didn’t know about the news of the opening of the gates of the Yang Realm.
