Chapter 732: Chapter 553: There Is an Underworld Envoy, But There Are Ghosts and Monsters_2
That is to say, the visitor was very likely a Ghost Messenger, and among that Yin Qi, there was a deaf-faced one, clad in black funeral attire, wearing a tall hat, with chains and a large stick hanging at his waist.
Although Wang Yang was not familiar with these matters, he had some cursory knowledge, and the Ghost Messenger was taken aback when he heard Wang Yang call out to him.
"You brat, how can you see me?"
The Ghost Messenger was obviously very surprised, as ordinarily, people could not see Ghost Messengers, and such a scene with gusts of ghastly wind was visible only to the deceased.
"Why should I not be able to? Whose subordinate are you?"
Wang Yang was by no means polite, knowing well that small ghosts are troublesome.
Furthermore, there were no forces on Wang Yang’s person, making this little ghost very difficult to deal with.
He had to rely on blustering to boost himself, and fortunately, he had some foundation. Wang Yang’s handsome face took on a serious gesture, genuinely giving off an imposing aura without even being angry.
"Who I am a subordinate to is none of your business, a mere person of the living world."
The Ghost Messenger also didn’t fall for this trick. Although there were few who could see him, there were some rumors about such matters in the Underworld, so it was not enough to surprise him too greatly.
Wang Yang understood that someone like him would definitely not be tracked down by the Ghost Messenger, as the realms of both were far too disparate, and naturally, the first step was to pacify the Ghost Messenger.
"You, at most, are just a ninth-grade minor official in the nether realm. This person’s soul may be taken by you for now, but once I step into the Underworld, I will surely come looking for you."
With his many years of knowledge, Wang Yang understood that these Ghost Messengers were all the kind to bully the weak and fear the strong, and the Underworld had always been a place of chaos.
There are many ghosts and monstrosities in this world, which goes to show the level of the Ghost Messengers here. Perhaps some ghosts in the World of the Living could easily kill a Ghost Messenger.
Since there were outlaws beyond the law, Wang Yang thought that as long as he was fierce enough to intimidate the Ghost Messenger, it wouldn’t be impossible.
Later, he would retrieve it himself and return Wu Mo to life.
"Huh? What are you, daring to instruct me?"
The Ghost Messenger, seeing that Wang Yang was just a mere child, was now being threatened by a mere child, something not just anyone could do as a Ghost Messenger.
"Hmph, a mere Ghost Messenger, I’m afraid if I announce my name from a previous life, you won’t even be able to bear the consequences."
Saints are the highest existence in all the worlds, who can influence the Myriad Realms, and it’s worth noting that Pangu’s Heart within Wang Yang is originating from Beyond the Heavens.
Wang Yang’s words left the Ghost Messenger extremely shaken, wondering if he truly encountered such a powerful being, but the Ghost Messenger also began to hesitate, knowing the punishment for not completing his task was not light either.
If he offended Wang Yang, and if Wang Yang truly was the reincarnation of some great entity, once he regained his former Cultivation Level, the Ghost Messenger would likely have a very difficult time in the future.
Moreover, those great entities capable of entering Reincarnation for their trials had, more or less, some relationships with those few in the Underworld.
With such connections in mind, how could the Ghost Messenger not feel afraid?
"Hmph, words alone are not proof. This person died unjustly and must enter the City of Unjust Death to suffer within."
Though the Ghost Messenger had his doubts, he still let slip some secrets, and Wang Yang immediately understood the implication.
Normally, the destination of a soul would not be revealed to individuals from the World of the Living, but the Ghost Messenger openly admitted it, which spoke volumes.
It was nothing more than a hint to Wang Yang that Wu Mo had been murdered, and without finding the perpetrator, there was no way to enter Reincarnation. Since the Ghost Messenger had stepped back, Wang Yang naturally couldn’t push too hard.
He had to let it go and then said, "Come closer, and I will teach you a Cultivation Method for yin souls, which greatly benefits the cultivation of yin souls. This person owes a great karmic debt to me in this life. Accept my favor, and you should know, if I arrive in the nether realm later, and if what I see is not what I hope for, you should know the consequences!"
As he spoke, Wang Yang’s tone became even more profound. Although there was not a trace of power fluctuation on him, the Ghost Messenger seemed to sense the terror from Beyond the Heavens, a great terror which a mere Ghost Messenger was not even qualified to look upon directly.
"Yes, thank you greatly for imparting the technique; this person will certainly take comprehensive care of you."
Upon hearing this, the Ghost Messenger was startled. Wang Yang proved to be so generous that he freely shared a Cultivation Technique.
One must know that Daoist magic is easily obtained, but Supernatural Daoist Powers are difficult; if a Ghost Messenger wants to be promoted, they need to collect a number of Dead Souls, and then there’s strength.
As for the quantity of souls, no matter how long it takes, one day they will gather enough, but strength is not guaranteed. Ghost Messengers, with their nearly endless lifespans, have lost much as well.
Wang Yang opened his mouth, and several mysterious melodies emanated from him. The Ghost Messenger quickly concentrated his mind and memorized the Secret Techniques described by Wang Yang.
As for such cultivation methods, Wang Yang did not consider them precious at all.
They were even beneath his notice, but to the Ghost Messenger it was like acquiring a Supreme Treasure. Wang Yang understood that the Underworld in this world must be quite barren.
If one was in the Primordial Continent, such Cultivation Methods lying on the ground might be ignored by Cultivators, but now it seemed just right.
What Wang Yang lacked the least were Supernatural Daoist Powers because his Realm was high enough that every action he took contained the secret of Divine Skills.
"Since you’ve already received the Wonderful Dharma, this person is now in your care. What is your name? It would be good to find you when I enter the Underworld."
Wang Yang slapped his forehead, nearly forgetting to ask the name of the Ghost Messenger. If he couldn’t find this Ghost Messenger upon reaching the Underworld, that would be rather troublesome.
"Master, this servant is called Qin Han, serving in the City of Unjust Death. Should you need anything in the future, please come find me in the City of Unjust Death."
Qin Han made himself very humble, simply because of Wang Yang’s generosity and it validated the Ghost Messenger’s thoughts.
It’s likely this child really might be a reincarnation of a great power, or it is now almost certain. Otherwise, how could he grasp such profound ways of cultivation and nonetheless reveal them without reservation?
Of course, Qin Han had his own thoughts as well.
After all, if he could befriend such a figure, it might naturally bring more benefits.
"Mm, you may go."
Wang Yang nodded slightly. As long as the soul could be preserved, the physical body and such were only external possessions. Once he cultivated the way of cultivation of this world,
given time, he would inevitably grasp its essence. The cultivation technique he described was not just about gathering
but about refining and running techniques, fundamental methods.
As a Ghost Messenger, Qin Han naturally would not be lacking in control over Yin Qi; this cultivation method suited him perfectly.
Qin Han bowed deeply to Wang Yang, voluntarily offering the gesture of a disciple, because this Daoist Technique was precisely what he needed for cultivation. For Qin Han, who had stagnated for many years, it was a grace of rebirth.
Subsequently, a half-transparent figure looking seven or eight parts similar to Wu Mo rose from Wu Mo’s body.
Wang Yang understood that this was Wu Tan’s soul, but it looked dull and listless.
It appeared that the souls in this world did not retain consciousness, or perhaps keeping consciousness was too costly.
Thus, normally souls did not retain consciousness. Qin Han took the initiative to lead Wu Mo towards the gate to the Underworld.
This clearly showed Qin Han’s intention. Had it been someone else, Qin Han would have bound them with chains and dragged them into the Underworld without hesitation; but now, he was merely leading Wu Mo away.
As Qin Han’s figure slowly vanished before Wang Yang’s eyes, his gaze held an unresolved puzzle. It seemed the Underworld’s operation in this world was very strange to him.
If the Underworld existed, why were there still ghosts and goblins everywhere?
After all, as long as these entities exist, naturally there would be Immortals who govern the world. Why would they allow ghosts and goblins to stay in the living world to harm mortals?
