Chapter 150: Chapter 149 Testing

Hearing Niuniu’s cheerful laughter, Meng Xiaopo couldn’t help but laugh as well.

"Brother Rufeng, now that you are out of danger and the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk has returned to normal, but this vast underworld is too much for just me to manage alone..."

Yan Rufeng smiled and said, "What do you mean, Sister Meng?"

"Leave those eight fat ghosts in the underworld," Meng Xiaopo said, pointing at the Eight Ghosts.

"Boss, I don’t want to stay here," Fat Ghost Old Yan said.

"Boss, I don’t want to stay here either..."

The Eight Ghosts were all unwilling to remain in the underworld.

Yan Rufeng slowly said, "If you want to become Ghost Immortals, you can only cultivate in the underworld."

"Can’t we do it somewhere else?" Old Yan asked.

"No, otherwise I wouldn’t have built the underground palace for you to cultivate," Yan Rufeng replied.

"We’ll follow the boss’s arrangements..." the Eight Ghosts said in unison.

Seeing this, Meng Xiaopo added, "Brother Rufeng, at the moment, the passage from the underworld to the human world is closed for some unknown reason. How are you and Niuniu going to leave?"

Yan Rufeng knew about the closure of the passage; the entire underworld was collected into his Purple Mansion through the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk. No one, whether a living being or a ghost, could leave the underworld unless he allowed it. Of course, rebirth through the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk was still an option, but it was not very realistic since no one wanted to enter the Disk without drinking Meng Po Soup.

After collecting the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk, Yan Rufeng’s Essence Blood was greatly depleted. Currently, he couldn’t summon Spiritual Power to cast spells, and his true body had to continue recuperating in that space below Pingdu Mountain.

"We can’t leave just yet!" Yan Rufeng replied.

Niuniu tugged on Yan Rufeng’s hand and pouted, "Master, I’ve stayed in the underworld for so long, I feel awful. Let’s go back."

Yan Rufeng gently caressed Niuniu’s forehead and softly said, "Niuniu, how about Master takes you to another space?"

"Okay!"

Niuniu nodded.

"Another space, where is that?" Meng Xiaopo asked, puzzled.

Yan Rufeng didn’t reply, but with a thought, Niuniu, Meng Xiaopo, and the Eight Ghosts found themselves in the First Layer Heaven of the Heavenly Court.

Looking at the familiar surroundings, Meng Xiaopo exclaimed, "Isn’t this the Heavenly Court?"

"Yes, this is the First Layer Heaven," Yan Rufeng said.

"We were just in the underworld, how did we arrive at the Heavenly Court so quickly?" Meng Xiaopo asked.

"Sister Meng, the Heavenly Court is now within my Purple Mansion," Yan Rufeng replied.

Suddenly realizing, Meng Xiaopo exclaimed, "According to what you said, isn’t the underworld also in your Purple Mansion?"

Yan Rufeng nodded, confirming Meng Xiaopo’s question.

For a moment, Meng Xiaopo felt overwhelmed and murmured, "It’s unbelievable, having the Heavenly Court inside someone’s Purple Mansion is already extraordinary enough. I didn’t expect the underworld to be included as well..."

"It’s all because of the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk," Yan Rufeng replied.

Meng Xiaopo suddenly understood, "I see, you must have dripped Essence Blood onto the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk and it recognized you as its master."

"That’s right," Yan Rufeng confirmed.

"Hehe," Meng Xiaopo laughed, "Brother Rufeng, now you’re practically the main god of these two great realms. If you could even collect Earth, becoming a Holy Venerable would be just around the corner!"

"Alas..."

Yan Rufeng sighed, "Becoming a Holy Venerable, how can it be that easy? Earth is in the Pangu Universe. Unless my Purple Mansion can contain the whole universe, the beings on Earth would suffer, and even if I could collect a whole universe, it doesn’t guarantee becoming a Holy Venerable."

"Take your time, Brother Rufeng. No need to rush," Meng Xiaopo said with a smile.

Yan Rufeng smiled slightly, "Sister Meng, let’s not talk about such distant matters. For now, the Eight Ghosts can’t stay here too long; I’ll send you and the Eight Ghosts back to the underworld first."

"Alright..."

Yan Rufeng’s divine soul stayed with Niuniu, always protecting her. Meanwhile, his true body remained seated in the dark underground space...

Yan Rufeng had been recuperating in Pingdu Mountain for two months. Due to the few auction items he left for Liu Ping’er before he went, the Youthful Pill that once auctioned for just six Low-Grade Spirit Stones now fetched a price of a thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

With Yan Rufeng still missing, the entire Dragon Abyss Sect was in turmoil. Only Liu Ping’er was truly anxious because, after today, there would be no items left for auction.

Despite her frantic efforts, even calling General Wen, she had no clue about Yan Rufeng’s whereabouts.

When the final item at the auction was sold, Liu Ping’er was forced to announce the temporary closure of the Dragon Abyss Sect Auction House.

The Heavenly Soldier Army had not been affected over the past two months. They continued their daily patrols in the cosmos battleships, safeguarding the lives of cultivators in Huaxia.

In Southern Yue, after occupying all the cities, the Heavenly Demon wasn’t satisfied with only a Demon Clan army and began transforming humans with demonic qi. Now his human army numbered over three million, and the Demon Clan army over five million.

The chief commander of the human army was the Great Protector Tengshe, the Demon Clan army’s chief commander was the Left Protector Yihu, and the deputy commander was the Right Protector Zhu Lie.

During Yan Rufeng’s recuperation, the Heavenly Demon had once ordered his Vanguard Officer, the White Ape, to lead a small unit to harass Huaxia and test their reaction. Unfortunately for the White Ape, as soon as he crossed into Huaxia’s territory, he was detected by the patrolling Heavenly Soldier Army. The consequences were dire.

Right after occupying all of Southern Yue, the Heavenly Demon built a Holy Venerate Hall. Being the sole ruler there, he lived a life of extreme luxury, always surrounded by beautiful women and enjoying endless feasts.

Despite this, the Heavenly Demon did not neglect his cultivation; his realm had now reached the level of a Demon General, just half a step away from becoming a Demon Emperor.

In the Holy Venerate Hall, amidst laughter and joy, a beautiful woman in white attire alluringly sat on the Heavenly Demon’s lap, pouring wine and sweetly saying, "Great King, just have this drink and then accompany me, alright?"

"Ha ha..."

The Heavenly Demon lifted her chin with a devilish smile, "Beauty, you read my mind."

He took a sip of wine, lifted her in his arms, and was about to head to the bedroom when a long voice echoed through the hall.

"Report..."

A demon rushed into the hall, panting and kneeling on the ground.

"What’s the matter?" the Heavenly Demon said sternly.

Stuttering, the demon replied, "Reporting to Heavenly Venerate, Lord White Ape... Lord White Ape..."

"What about White Ape?" the Heavenly Demon glared.

"Heavenly Venerate, Lord White Ape led his troops to attack Huaxia, but the entire army was wiped out, and he died on the spot..."

The Heavenly Demon roared, "What did you say, White Ape is dead?"
