Chapter 480: Chapter 93 The Road is Broken_1

White Impermanence pointed to a golden light in the west of the Road to the Netherworld and said, "Bunny, do you see that mountain glowing with golden light? That’s the Buddha’s light, and seated there is Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha, with his hundreds of millions of buddha soldiers."

Then White Impermanence pointed to the north of the Road to the Netherworld, where it was dark and gloomy, and if one looked closely, one could see dark red mists swirling around.

White Impermanence continued, "That is the Netherworld Blood Sea, traversed by the Nether River, the domain of the Nether River Patriarch and countless Asuras."

Following that, White Impermanence waved his vast hand across the remaining directions and said, "All that’s left is the jurisdiction of the Netherworld, but the place is so vast, many areas can’t be properly looked after, and there’s loads of chaotic stuff existing. The place we are heading to now is Fengdu City of the Netherworld."

At that moment, Qin Shou shouted, "That’s not right!"

White Impermanence, puzzled, asked, "What’s not right?"

Qin Shou replied, "Didn’t you say that your Netherworld manages the cycle of life and death for all the creatures of the Earthly Immortal Realm? But we’ve been walking for so long, why haven’t we seen a single ghost? Not even a Yin soldier?"

With these words out, even a fool like Kui San felt that something was amiss and commented, "Maybe they’ve all gone home for dinner?"

Qin Shou ignored him and stared straight at the bitter-faced Black and White Impermanence.

Seeing the unfriendly expression on Qin Shou’s face, White Impermanence hurriedly said, "Bunny, you may not know this. Over three hundred years ago, some bastard attacked the Heavenly Court. That drew over many powerful beings who started a huge brawl. Someone even plunged their hand into the Netherworld and pulled out a mountain, and the power of another reached us, shattering King Zhuanlun’s palace. Even now, King Zhuanlun has to share a bed with King Pingdeng. Huh? Bunny, you don’t look too good. Don’t worry, I’m cursing the troublemaker who fought, definitely not you."

Qin Shou chuckled. He could tell that Black and White Impermanence truly didn’t know that he was the cause of the problem three hundred years ago.

Though he didn’t know, Qin Shou didn’t want to listen to the two curse him any longer, so he changed the subject, "Civilized people don’t curse much, get to the point."

White Impermanence quickly replied, "After that battle, our pathway to ascend was affected; it started to become unstable. But all in all, it didn’t hinder things too much. However, later on, for some reason, the path to the Sky started having more and more issues, until now, it’s basically useless. Anyone who enters doesn’t come back. Sigh... I don’t even know what’s become of the Heavenly Court. Logically, if the path is broken, the Ministry of Works should have repaired it."

When Qin Shou heard this, he was immediately anxious. What was he in the Netherworld for? He was there to return to the Heavenly Court!

If the Sky-reaching Road was broken, then what was he doing here? Simply here to see what wild ghosts looked like?

Qin Shou yanked White Impermanence’s tongue, pulling him close, and demanded, "Are you saying that one cannot go to the Heavenly Court from the Netherworld anymore?"

White Impermanence replied with a wry smile, "Bunny, your question... Haven’t I said the path can still be walked, it’s just that once you go in, there’s no guarantee of coming back. As for where it leads, I have no idea."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou felt utterly disappointed. Could it be that he really couldn’t return to the Heavenly Court?

Then, Black Impermanence said, "Bunny, if I may, you needn’t worry about this. Your strength seems to have just reached the Void Returning stage, right?"

Qin Shou nodded.

Black Impermanence smiled and said, "Then it’s simple. Just get an Ascension Token, and once you’ve cultivated to the realm of Ascension, just break through the void, walk the Ascension Bridge, and go straight to Heaven, wouldn’t that solve everything?"

Qin Shou gave Black Impermanence a sideways glance and asked, "Do you know where to find an Ascension Token?"

Black Impermanence grinned sheepishly and said, "That... that..."

Qin Shou knew he didn’t know, but at this point, White Impermanence said, "Bunny, we are Yin Gods. The ghosts that come into our hands are directly sent to the Judge for sentencing, either to suffer in Hell or for reincarnation. We’ve seen too many of these cases, but those who ascend, we only occasionally see one or two from a distance. By the way, Bunny, have you ever seen an Ascension Token?"

Qin Shou gave a hum in response.

Having confirmed that he couldn’t reach the Heavenly Court from the Netherworld, Qin Shou’s heart was extremely troubled, and he had no mood for idle chatter with the two anymore.

Seeing the atmosphere growing more somber, Li Zhenying couldn’t bear to see Qin Shou so down and approached, saying, "Bunny, there’s always a way to return. Besides, my father and brothers are still up there, and they’ll surely find a way to fix the Sky-reaching Road to come find us. Then we can all go back together, okay?"

Although Qin Shou knew Li Zhenying was trying to comfort him, what else could he do given the circumstances? Besides, what Li Zhenying said wasn’t impossible.

It was rather embarrassing for a grown man like him to be comforted by a young girl, so he grinned and said, "Alright, we’ll go back together."

After speaking, Qin Shou turned his head and asked, "Could you two move a bit slower, and tell me, what kinds of entertainments are there in the Netherworld? I need a distraction!"

Black and White Impermanence had also been frightened by the rabbit’s gloomy look just a moment ago, fearful that the rabbit might seize them and beat them up to vent his frustrations.

Seeing that the rabbit had voluntarily dropped the subject, they both heaved a sigh of relief. White Impermanence quickly said, "Bunny, there’s more to our Netherworld than just what I’ve told you. It seems that there’s also a problem in the Earthly Immortal Realm; lately, the people who die do not enter the cycle of reincarnation. With no other choice, we had to dispatch Yin soldiers to catch those who had died normally but would not be reincarnated. But relying on people to do the catching, the efficiency is almost as good as none, which is why even on the vast Road to the Netherworld, not a single ghost can be seen."

Qin Shou frowned and asked, "In the past, how did those ghosts get here?"

White Impermanence answered, "Our Netherworld has the Six Paths of Reincarnation, which has the ability to attract ghosts. As long as there’s a ghost, it will be automatically drawn to the Road to the Netherworld and then walk step by step towards Fengdu City. However, recently, I don’t know why, but the ghosts coming in are fewer and fewer..."

Black Impermanence also complained, "Could the Six Paths of Reincarnation be broken too? Impossible, even Saints can’t destroy it..."

Qin Shou was totally confused and, with his mind already troubled, he didn’t want to hear any more, and waved them off with a gesture, "Say something interesting."

It was clear that Black and White Impermanence didn’t want to continue that topic either, so they eagerly began to describe the scenery along the way in great detail to Qin Shou.

"Bunny, you’ve seen the Ghost Gate we just passed, as I’ve said, it’s merely a gate, not a barrier. The real barrier is ahead. After passing the Ghost Gate, that’s where Fengdu City is, and it’s bustling in there!" Black Impermanence exclaimed.

Qin Shou curled his lip and said, "How lively can the Netherworld get?"
