Chapter 145: Chapter 144 Three-Life Stone

After Yan Rufeng finished explaining, Niuniu nodded and said, "Master, Niuniu understands."

"Niuniu, it’s good that you understand. Now, Master will take you to find your father."

"Take Niuniu to find Daddy."

The Eight Ghosts were puzzled.

"Boss, aren’t you taking us to the underworld?" asked the chubby ghost at the head.

Yan Rufeng snapped, "Just follow me."

Yan Rufeng didn’t let the Eight Ghosts talk much because he was afraid Niuniu would get suspicious. If she found out her father was already dead, she would be very sad.

Yan Rufeng planned to find her father’s ghost first and then tell her the truth. That way, Niuniu might not be so heartbroken.

Yan Rufeng took Niuniu’s hand and led the Eight Ghosts to the Sect Square. They summoned the Cosmic Battleship and, according to the markings on the Creation Jade Disc, they arrived at Pingdu Mountain in Shu.

The entrance to the underworld on Earth was 1,800 meters deep underground at Pingdu Mountain. There was a ten-meter-square space, and at the end of the space was a deep black vortex, the legendary Ghost Gate.

Niuniu let go of Yan Rufeng’s hand and weakly asked, "Master, didn’t you take me to find Daddy? What are we doing here?"

Yan Rufeng smiled, "Niuniu, your father is in another space now."

"Another space, where is that?" Niuniu pouted and asked.

Yan Rufeng didn’t answer Niuniu, he just said, "You’ll know when you get there."

"Oh..."

In front of the Ghost Gate, the chubby ghost Old Yan at the head cupped his hands and said, "Boss, I can feel that once we enter that space, it won’t take long for my cultivation to advance to the next realm. We’ll go ahead first."

Yan Rufeng nodded his approval, and then the Eight Ghosts floated towards the Ghost Gate.

Yan Rufeng smiled slightly, "Niuniu, let’s go in too."

"Okay..."

In his previous life in the Cultivation World, Yan Rufeng often visited the Netherworld to save people. Since the Immortal Venerable Divine Soul had possessed him, this was his first trip to the underworld on Earth. Not knowing the differences between the Netherworld in the Cultivation World and the underworld on Earth, he took Niuniu’s hand and walked towards the Ghost Gate with a mix of curiosity and anticipation...

Yan Rufeng led Niuniu along the Netherworld Road. When he saw the leafless other shore flowers blooming on both sides, he murmured, "Except for the dim lighting, there’s no difference."

Niuniu frowned and asked, "Master, why is there so much death energy here? Where are we exactly?"

Yan Rufeng believed they had reached the underworld and felt it was time to tell Niuniu something about her father.

"Niuniu, if Master told you this is the underworld, would you be scared?"

Niuniu clung tightly to Yan Rufeng’s hand and said resolutely, "As long as Master is here, Niuniu won’t be scared anywhere!"

"Hehe..."

Yan Rufeng laughed, "Niuniu is so brave!"

Yan Rufeng held Niuniu’s hand, and they hadn’t walked far before Niuniu exclaimed, "Wow..."

"Master, what river is that? The water is flowing so fast, it’s so long and wide!"

"Niuniu, that river is called the River of Oblivion. Once we cross the Naihe Bridge, it won’t be long before you can see your father," said Yan Rufeng.

Niuniu murmured, "Naihe Bridge over the River of Oblivion, is this really the underworld?"

Yan Rufeng replied, "Yes, this is."

The smart Niuniu had already picked up on Yan Rufeng’s meaning and suddenly burst into tears.

"Wailing!"

"Master, did you bring Niuniu to the underworld to find Daddy? Does that mean Daddy is already dead..."

Yan Rufeng gently comforted, "Niuniu, your father is not dead. He just lives in this world in a different way."

"In a different way?"

Niuniu recalled the Eight Ghosts and asked, "Master, when we find Daddy, can you bring him back to our Dragon Abyss Sect?"

"Of course," Yan Rufeng replied.

Niuniu became happy, "Master, then let’s hurry and go find Daddy..."

The Eight Ghosts arrived at Naihe Bridge first. The leader, Old Yan, said, "Let’s wait here for the boss."

Yan Rufeng led Niuniu to the bridgehead of Naihe Bridge. He glanced at the Three-Life Stone, reached out his hand, and pressed it.

The Three-Life Stone recorded everyone’s past life, present life, and future life.

As soon as Yan Rufeng’s hand touched the Three-Life Stone, a scene appeared.

All the significant events of Yan Rufeng’s previous life in the Cultivation World were displayed before him and Niuniu.

When the scene of Yan Rufeng holding Yi Mu gradually faded, his eyes became moist.

Seeing this, Niuniu weakly asked, "Master, why are you crying? Is it because of that auntie you’re holding?"

Yan Rufeng composed himself, smiled faintly, and said, "Niuniu, that auntie is your Master’s wife."

"Master’s wife?"

"Niuniu doesn’t want a Master’s wife; Niuniu only wants Master," Niuniu said unhappily.

"Niuniu, why don’t you want a Master’s wife?" Yan Rufeng asked curiously.

Niuniu said with a pout, "If you have a Master’s wife, Master won’t love Niuniu anymore."

Yan Rufeng laughed, "Niuniu, you’re overthinking it. When Master finds your Master’s wife, there will be one more person to love you. Wouldn’t that be better?"

"Hmph!"

Niuniu pouted, "I don’t care, Niuniu doesn’t want a Master’s wife, and I won’t let you find her!"

Yan Rufeng didn’t argue with Niuniu. He sighed deeply in his heart, "Even if Niuniu lets me find Mumu, I don’t know where she is now. I don’t know when I’ll find her. Maybe when I find Mumu, Niuniu will have grown up. By then, she won’t be this stubborn."

Yan Rufeng smiled, "Niuniu, put your hand on this stone. Master wants to see your past and present lives."

Niuniu obediently placed her hand on the Three-Life Stone, but after a long while, Yan Rufeng saw no images appear.

"Strange!"

Yan Rufeng thought, "Why didn’t the Three-Life Stone show Niuniu’s past and present lives? Is the stone broken?"

Yan Rufeng placed his hand back on the stone, and scenes of his past life reappeared. Only images from Yan Rufeng’s past life appeared; there were no images of his present or future lives...

Yan Rufeng couldn’t make sense of it, so he led Niuniu onto Naihe Bridge.

"Boss, why did you stay at the Three-Life Stone for so long? The past life is not as interesting as the present life. I saw you lying beside me, unable to move," laughed a chubby ghost.

"Haha!"

Yan Rufeng chuckled coldly, "What are you talking about? Currently, no one in the underworld can harm me."

The chubby ghost, unsatisfied, said, "Boss, you can ask Old Yan if you don’t believe me!"

Old Yan became serious, "Boss, the underworld is indeed very dangerous. You must be careful."
