Book 8: Chapter 20: The Seal of Asura Realm

“Please stand up.”

Bai Qiuran stretched out his hand to help the old man from the ground, blinked, and then asked:

“Excuse me, who are you?”

“This old man is one of the ghosts that the Immortal Ancestor saved from the evil gods.”

With gratitude and excitement on his face, the old man replied:

“Immortal Ancestor may not remember a nobody like me, but this old man will never forget the appearance of Immortal Ancestor. It is you who created the Underworld and gave us hope.”

“Ah, that’s how it is.”

Hearing this old man praise him so much, Bai Qiuran felt a little embarrassed. Seeing this, Jiang Lan introduced him:

“Yin Chi Cheng was once one of the first three ghosts in the Underworld who succeeded Xiao Lian in charge of the Underworld. He is known as the Yin Venerable. Now he has retired, but he should still be one of the most informed people in the Underworld.”

Bai Qiuran nodded and gave Jiang Lan a grateful look. The latter smiled at him, and Yin Venerable understood after hearing Jiang Lan’s introduction and said:

“If Immortal Ancestor has anything to ask about the Underworld, this old man will answer.”

“Then do you know what the Soul Takers are up to lately?”

Bai Qiuran asked him.

“I know.”

Yin Venerable replied:

“Asura Realm rebels daily, and the Soul Takers are suppressing it. My granddaughter has just become a trainee Soul Taker. Recently, she was too busy to touch the ground all the time. She hasn’t been home for dinner for several days.”

“This… isn’t it a daily routine?”

Bai Qiuran frowned and said:

“Do you know that there are powerful ghosts everywhere in the human world, and there are even Asuras who cross directly into the human world to do evil deeds?”

“Is there such a thing?”

Yin Venerable frowned and said:

“That may be a problem with the layout in the depths of the Asura Realm.”

“What do you mean?”

Bai Qiuran asked.

“Don’t Immortal Ancestor know?”

As a result, Yin Venerable asked strangely:

“By the way, speaking of it, for so many years, except for the Emperor and the Empress, we don’t know where the Immortal Ancestor has gone. We all thought you were already…”

“Ah, Master Yin, this must be kept secret.”

Jiang Lan reminded him from the side.

“Sorry.”

Yin Venerable said apologetically, then he thought about it for a while, and continued the topic:

“Obviously you two don’t know that. Actually, as a part of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Asura Realm is used to make people reincarnate as Asuras, as well as rewards and punishments. But it has another purpose. In the depths of the Asura Realm, some of the gods’ spirits that we have defeated in the war had been sealed.”

“Soul?”

Bai Qiuran frowned and said:

“Bai Li, this kid… I already told him ‘cut the grass till the roots’, and he still retains the spirits of the gods. What is he staying for, keeping it for the New Year’s Eve?”

“You may have misunderstood His Majesty the Emperor.”

Yin Venerable bowed:

“It’s not that His Majesty doesn’t want to kill the gods’ spirits, but we really can’t kill them.”

“There is no unkillable living being. I had killed a lot of them myself.”

Bai Qiuran frowned and said:

“Why can’t you kill them?”

“Immortal Ancestor is humble. Even now, hundreds of thousands of years later, Immortal Emperor believes that he is a long way from Immortal Ancestor.”

Yin Venerable replied:

“Those gods are creatures born from rules. Some are entangled with some troublesome rules. Once killed, huge changes will occur between heaven and earth. Moreover, some of them are constantly regenerating or unable to be destroyed. Therefore, the Immortal Emperor can only seal them in the Asura Realm, hoping to use the power of reincarnation and the killing air in the Asura Realm to wipe out their spirits.”

“Fine.”

Bai Qiuran looked a little confused and then asked:

“Then this time, there is a problem with the seal inside, right?”

“It should be, but…”

Yin Venerable hesitated and said:

“Little old man suspects that there is a traitor in the Underworld.”

Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan looked at each other, and then said:

“Go on.”

“The Asura Realm is the same as the Deva Realm, Hungry Ghost Realm, and Hell. It is the world built by the Immortal Emperor and the immortals. These seals are set by the Immortal Emperor himself. Unless two or more immortals in Venerable level combined force, otherwise, it would be impossible to unlock them.”

Yin Venerable said:

“But this kind of existence… not to mention Asura Realm, in the whole Underworld there is only a few. Therefore, this old man suspects that the Underworld should have a traitor. I am afraid it is still a person in a high position. “

“Who are the Venerables in the Underworld now?”

Bai Qiuran asked Yin Venerable.

“The three deities of the Underworld are in a rotation system. Except for the three of us who stayed in the Underworld to enjoy the retired life, the rest of the immortals who have served as the three deities have all returned to the Immortal Realm.”

Yin Venerable replied:

“At present, Venerables who are still in the Underworld, include the three deities, which are Li Venerable from the Eastern Immortal World, Ran Venerable sent from the Southern Immortal World, and Lie Venerable sent from the Central Immortal World. In addition to them, there is also an Immortal Venerable among Ten Yama Kings…Ah, the Soul Taker who recently managed your original world seems to have broken through to the Immortal Venerable level.”

“Xue Ling?”

Bai Qiuran raised his brows.

“Unbelievable! That dead face is actually an Immortal Venerable?”

“Originally he’s just an ordinary Ghost Immortal.”

Yin Venerable shook his head.

“I heard that he received an arrest order that he had not been able to complete, and the cultivation base suddenly advanced by leaps and bounds. I don’t know what happened…”

“Yeah, what the hell is going on…”

Bai Qiuran remembered how he and Xue Ling had fought again and again since two thousand years ago.

“In other words, counting the three of you, there are only eight Immortal Venerables in Underworld.”

Jiang Lan lowered her head and thought for a moment.

“It seems to be about the same as the number of Immortal Venerables in the Immortal Realm.”

“Yes, Immortal Emperor originally planned that way.”

Yin Venerable nodded and said:

“The Underworld is one of the worlds of the Immortal Realm. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most important world. The reason why the position of the Ghost Emperor has been vacant is also for…”

He looked at Bai Qiuran.

“Come on, I am just a cultivator in the Qi Refining stage.”

Bai Qiuran said:

“How could I act as the Ghost Emperor? You should find someone else, I haven’t lived enough yet.”

“Ugh.”

Yin Venerable thought he was going to leave, so he hurriedly kept saying:

“Then I won’t talk about appropriate things. But it is rare to see the Immortal Ancestor, please give an opportunity for me and others to entertain the Empress and Immortal Ancestor, so we can repay the Immortal Ancestor’s kindness to us and the entire human race. “

“Okay, but not now. I can’t waste time here.”

Bai Qiuran replied.

“What does Immortal Ancestor mean?”

“I want to ask for your help.”

Bai Qiuran said to him:

“Tell me where the battlefield of the Underworld and the Asura Realm is. By the way, if you can take me over, that would be great.”

Yin Venerable understood what Bai Qiuran meant, so he bowed to Bai Qiuran:

“Yes, Immortal Ancestor is righteous.”
