Chapter 152: Chapter 144, Written Test Results Announced

Bai Jin stepped forward and bowed, "Your Highness, are you grilling meat?!"

"Ferocious Nix."

Bai Jin sat next to Ping Xin, sniffing and swallowing saliva, "Your Highness, does this fierce beast’s meat taste good?"

"It’s alright! Barely passable for consumption."

"Is it done? You can’t eat it if it’s not cooked through; you might get a stomachache."

"Hehe~ Thanks for your concern, Little White, I will make sure it’s well done."

Bai Jin cast a resentful glance at Ping Xin for not inviting him to eat, "Your Highness, the written examination is over. These are their answer sheets, it’s time for you to review them. How about I help you grill and you go check the answers?!"

Ping Xin gave Bai Jin a glance, "I’ll do the reviewing, what’s there for you to do?"

"Uh~ Your Highness, this isn’t fair! You are the ruler of the Underworld, and I’m just here to help."

"Come and taste the fierce beast meat I’ve grilled."

"Mmm~ It tastes really good."

...

A twisted Netherworld passage appeared on the majestic Kunlun Mountain, and several figures came out of the channel in succession, it was Guang Chengzi and others returning.

The group landed on Kunlun, and the Netherworld passage disappeared instantly.

Guang Chengzi said, "Junior brothers, I’m going to report to our Master first."

True Man Yuding and the others all said, "Thank you for your efforts, senior brother."

Guang Chengzi entered Yuxu Palace, knelt on a cushion, and respectfully said, "Disciple requests an audience with Master."

The figure of Primordial Venerable materialized in the main seat, asking, "How did it go?"

Guang Chengzi respectfully replied, "Today we entered the Underworld and conducted the written examination. The results of the examination have not yet been announced."

Primordial Venerable was unfazed.

Hesitating, Guang Chengzi said, "I report to Master, the one overseeing the examination in the Underworld is junior brother Bai Jin, and he has some misconceptions about us that may affect our results."

Primordial Venerable showed a smile, "It’s him, then all is in order~ Don’t worry, Bai Jin is not the type of person who cannot weigh the importance of matters."

Uh~ Master, aren’t you too confident in him? How can that flatterer possibly have any principles? If he plays any tricks, it might be too late for us!

"Which other forces went there?"

"This time disciples of the Western Sect also went there, but none from Jie Sect and Human Sect."

Primordial Venerable said with satisfaction, "Tongtian is finally being smart for once."

"Please teach me, Master."

"Since Bai Jin is on good terms with Ping Xin, Jie Sect naturally has no need to intervene in the affairs of the Underworld.

Firstly, with Jie Sect disciples being of mixed quality, Jie Sect taking charge of the Underworld would easily lead to chaos, spoiling the relationship with Earth Palace Pingxin.

Furthermore, Jie Sect has now grown vastly, having such power; if they also take control of the Underworld, it would be excessive and could incite calculations from the other Saints."

"So that’s how it is, Jie Sect not intervening in the Underworld actually turns out to be a good thing.

However, the Western Sect seems to have a strong desire to take charge of the Underworld. They sent over twenty disciples, all of whom are great cultivators, ranging from Profound Immortals and Golden Immortals to Taiyi Golden Immortals."

Primordial Venerable slowly said, "Taking charge of the Underworld would not only grant merit to the Western Sect but would also facilitate the propagation and perfection of their teachings, so they naturally won’t give up easily. Similarly, the Underworld is also very important to our Chan Sect. You all need to give your fullest."

With hesitation, Guang Chengzi replied, "Reporting to Master, we are confident we can outperform the Western Sect, but junior brother Bai Jin has a deep misunderstanding of us, which might cause complications."

Primordial Venerable pondered for a moment and said, "You may go now! I have my own considerations."

Guang Chengzi stood up and respectfully said, "Yes, disciple shall take his leave!"

...

Inside the Underworld, Bai Jin sat in a palace with screens of light floating before him, displaying the contents of the written examination. He began the arduous task of marking the papers, holding a fragrant thigh, taking bites between glances. Ping Xin’s culinary skills were indeed without question.

"If I were the Yin Emperor, I would raise a million Yin Soldiers. Those who follow me shall prosper; those against me shall perish. I shall rule over the Three Realms with my Underworld."

With a casual wave of his hand, the screen shattered with a bang. Fantasy of being invincible? What rubbish!

He continued to review another answer paper, but as he read on, his vision became blurry, and sleepiness weighed down his eyelids. The thigh in his hand thudded onto the desk, and as he slumped forward onto the desk, snores began to sound.

In his sleep, Bai Jin hazily arrived at Kunlun and stood in front of Yuxu Palace.

A cold wind blew over, and Bai Jin shivered all over, suddenly waking up. He looked up at the plaque of Yuxu Palace, murmuring, "How did I end up here? Am I dreaming again?"

"Come in!" A grand voice emanated from within the Yuxu Palace.

Bai Jin immediately strode towards the Yuxu Palace, entering and kneeling on a meditation cushion, he respectfully spoke, "Disciple Bai Jin pays respect to Master."

"Rise!"

"Thank you, Master."

Bai Jin got up and sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion, sitting upright and proper.

The Primordial Venerable seated in the principal seat said, "Do you know why I have summoned you?"

"This disciple is dull and unaware of the Saint’s intention."

"Guang Chengzi mentioned that the Western Sect dispatched a large number of disciples to attend the recruitment meeting. Are there any suitable candidates for the role of Netherworld Emperor?"

Bai Jin, catching the implied meaning, immediately said respectfully, "Reporting to Master, the Western Sect’s doctrines are not suitable for the Underworld."

"Is that so?"

Bai Jin nodded continually, saying, "Your disciple is a pure White Crane, who never lies."

"If that’s the case, then go! The Underworld has merits to the Primordial World, carefully select them."

"Yes!

In fact, I have long had thoughts in my heart. According to this disciple’s plan, the Underworld should have multiple Yin Heavenly Sons, each with their responsibilities.

Some to preside over Life and Death, some over Judgement, some over Prison, some over Reincarnation...

And Earth Palace Pingxin quite agrees with this thought of mine."

"Granted!" The Primordial lifted a hand, and in an instant, Bai Jin’s figure disappeared.

...

Inside the Hall of Kunlun Mountain, Primordial opened his eyes and laughed, "It turns out his thoughts coincidentally align with mine, but now that he’s spoken them aloud, he must bear this karma. Well then, I’ll just take extra care of him in the future."

He called out, "Taiyi!"

A Taiyi True Man, dressed in a Daoist robe with white hair and beard, entered the hall, and respectfully bowed, "Master!"

"I will transmit a Divine Skill to you, named ’Ten Directions Incarnation.’"

"Thank you, Master!"

...

Within the Underworld, Bai Jin sleepily opened his eyes, stood up, and yawned, thinking to himself, if you want me to sleep, let me sleep a bit longer! I had just fallen asleep when I was awakened again, isn’t this torment?!

Half a day later, Bai Jin organized the Jade Talisman and walked out, finding Earth Palace Pingxin who was still barbecuing. He sat on a nearby stone chair, eyes fixed hungrily on the kebabs, and said, "Madam, I have reviewed them all."

Ping Xin replied with a smile, "That was quick. How many are suitable for the role of Netherworld Emperor?"

Bai Jin waved his hand, and several light screens appeared in front of him, each displaying a face with an introduction beside it, and their competition content below.

Ping Xin glanced over each light screen and said, "Chan Sect’s Taiyi True Man, Chan Sect’s Qingxu, Chan Sect’s Spiritual Treasure Great Master, Chan Sect’s Huang Long, Asura Clan’s Pishacha, Asura Clan’s Ding Sheng, Asura Clan’s Li Tian, Loose Cultivator Nine Extremes True Man, Loose Cultivator Inverted Daoist, Demon King Black Water, why are there so many?"

"Madam, this is just the preliminary selection; these require your personal interview!" Bai Jin stealthily reached out and took a kebab from the rack.

"Why haven’t your Jie Sect Disciples come forward?"

Bai Jin looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and sighed, "Replying to Madam, Master loves us deeply."

Ping Xin laughed and said, "You and your Master have such a good relationship."

"I think so too."

Ping Xin waved her hand, and several more projections rose from the Jade Talisman, all bald, "Add them as well."

Bai Jin quietly snagged another kebab and said, "Madam, it seems like the Western Sect’s doctrines are not quite suitable for our Underworld."

"The face of the two Saints of the Western Sect must still be considered."

"Understood!" He continued to reach out his little hand.

"Little White, that’s enough! I only have this much left."

Bai Jin withdrew his hand with a sheepish expression and said, "Madam, the matter of the Netherworld Emperor is of great importance; it requires your personal interview."

"Granted!"

...

The next day before dawn, in a secret realm’s small world, thousands of Immortal Gods had already arrived, each occupying their positions.

A handsome young man sat next to a table, drinking with an ugly Asura Clan powerhouse, laughing heartily and with brotherly camaraderie while drinking.
