Wedding Night: I Am Forced To Marry A Dragon Girl
Chapter 1588: Wheel-turning King?

Chapter 1588: Chapter 1588: Wheel-turning King?

As for his own lifespan, Jiang Xiaobai had little hope.

After all, for a cultivator, breaking through to Golden Immortal meant having a lifespan commensurate with the heavens and the earth; as long as the Dao of Heaven existed, so would he.

His sudden change was impossible without some extraordinary incident, and he doubted that even the Underworld bureaucracy could resolve it.

So when he first arrived at the Underworld, Jiang Xiaobai never thought to look for a solution there; he didn’t even consider addressing his insufficient lifespan.

In his view, it was probably more far-fetched than repairing a ninth-grade lotus pedestal to become a twelve-grade virtue golden lotus.

"No matter... I believe that when the boat reaches the bridge, it will straighten itself out naturally. Someone will definitely know, and when the time comes, I’ll find them," he said.

Jiang Xiaobai chuckled, "But my lord, you are but a shadow, and now you cannot enter or leave the Underworld due to its own issues. How can we bring this ninth-grade lotus pedestal from the monument of virtue into the Underworld?"

"There’s no need to bring it in; leaving it here will suffice. The will of the Six Paths of Reincarnation will draw upon its special power to repair itself," replied King Qin Guang with a smile.

"However... is this thing really that easy to obtain? I recall that the ninth-grade lotus pedestal isn’t something just anyone can touch," King Qin Guang remembered.

Previously, when King Qin Guang saw Jiang Xiaobai, he had anticipated that retrieving Emperor Fendu’s contingency from the celestial city would cost a great deal of effort and even a painful price.

After so many years, who knows what the situation might be in that celestial city now, but it seems peculiar as of the present.

It’s as if the seals of the Underworld could be so easily broken.

After King Qin Guang said this, Jiang Xiaobai also raised an eyebrow, thinking carefully that indeed, things had gone too smoothly.

If he hadn’t met Qingquan, not to mention other things, just those top powers’ Celestial Emperors alone would have been enough to give Jiang Xiaobai a headache.

And they, too, would be unable to open the black structure without obtaining the blood coffin.

"It’s indeed too coincidental... There must be someone guiding all this," Jiang Xiaobai mused.

As he spoke, he thought of the yellow-robed Taoist, this damned thing with manipulative skills. Perhaps all of this was within his calculations.

And the key to it all was Xin...

Glancing unconsciously at Xin, Jiang Xiaobai leaned in closer to King Qin Guang, "My lord, may I speak with you in private?"

King Qin Guang nodded, waved, and erected a barrier spell that kept outsiders completely oblivious to their conversation.

"Alright, ask whatever you need to. Whatever I can tell you, and should tell you, I definitely will... But I’m afraid I can’t speak about things from back then," said King Qin Guang with a light smile.

"Your situation is laden with cause and effect, and I have a rough idea of what’s going on. Your arrival is inevitable, but now is not the time for you to learn about these matters. You still need to grow."

"Huh? Do you mean to say, my lord, that you know a lot about me?" Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow.

"Not necessarily, but a yellow-robed Taoist had sought me out once, a long time ago..."

King Qin Guang recounted what happened years ago. Over a million years ago, a yellow-robed Taoist appeared in the Underworld and was able to forcibly extract King Qin Guang from his cultivation.

Such capability, under the Underworld’s seal, was nothing short of defying the heavens, and King Qin Guang was astounded at the time, wondering if such a powerful figure even existed in this era?

He had thought the Taoist came for a confrontation, but after pulling King Qin Guang out, the Taoist simply stated that he wanted to store some things in the Underworld and casually mentioned that the Underworld’s seal would be lifted in a million years, instructing him to deal with it then.

"He seemed to have a deep understanding of the Underworld, but I didn’t think much of it at the time. After all, the sealing of the Underworld had been in effect for countless years, and despite trying numerous ways, we couldn’t lift the seal. We even attempted to send people to the celestial city to find the contingency, but none succeeded," said King Qin Guang.

King Qin Guang exclaimed, "Your emergence must have been arranged long ago... But what was it that you wanted to ask me?"

Jiang Xiaobai’s head buzzed as if he had received an overwhelming amount of information at once!

The old Taoist in yellow robes, it’s this damn thing again!

"Forget it, that old man is hard to find; if he doesn’t want to show up, no one can find him, and I can’t be bothered to inquire further about it... I came to you wanting to ask, do you know about that person?"

Jiang Xiaobai pointed at Xin without any change in expression; deep down, he always had a terrifying guess about this guy’s identity, but the guess seemed too unrealistic.

After talking with King Qin Guang about some coincidental events, he felt more and more suspicious of Xin.

"Oh, you mean Xin the lad, huh? Did you actually guess his identity?"

King Qin Guang was not surprised: "Do you know who I am?"

Jiang Xiaobai was taken aback and blurted out subconsciously: "Should I say I know, or should I say I don’t know?"

"Haha, no need to be so formal... I am one of the ten Yama Kings, King Qin Guang!"

King Qin Guang said with a faint smile: "Together with me are nine others, collectively called the ten Yama Kings. We manage many affairs in the Underworld, and apart from a few great Emperors, we ten have the final say in the Underworld."

"Among us, the Wheel-turning King holds a special existence. The wheel turns, a hundred cycles of reincarnation. Not only do we need to control and manage the Underworld, but we are also to shoulder many responsibilities—each with different duties. The Wheel-turning King’s duty is the perpetual cycle of reincarnation, over and over."

King Qin Guang sighed: "This is also a unique technique exclusive to the Underworld; that Qingquan by Xin’s side is the Wheel-turning King reincarnated in this life."

"However, this is extremely confidential; we all know but do not expose the Wheel-turning King’s identity. Once she learns of things she should not know, it would affect the technique. Hence, Xin has probably never told anyone about it all along."

King Qin Guang said, "Oh right, Xin is the attendant of the Wheel-turning King, always following and assisting the Wheel-turning King in reincarnation. It’s good enough that you know these affairs, but don’t speak of them lest it affects the Wheel-turning King’s technique."

Jiang Xiaobai was completely dumbfounded!

He had long guessed that Xin had a deep connection with the Underworld, but this was even more thrilling than he had imagined?!

So it was Qin Ruonan who was that big shot!

My goodness, the Wheel-turning King!

An existence that stands shoulder to shoulder with the ten Yama Kings, controlling the Underworld!

To have such a heavyweight by one’s side without knowing it?

"Then... wouldn’t her coming to the Underworld affect her?" Jiang Xiaobai asked in shock.

"No, it won’t. When the Wheel-turning King reincarnates, her memories are blank; it’s almost like she has been reborn into a new life. Over time, as her realm advances, she will start to recall these things only when she reaches a certain threshold."

King Qin Guang said with a light smile: "With each reincarnation, her threshold for memory recovery rises. From the initial lower realms, to now... let me think... Ah, it seems she will regain her memories soon, once she breaks through the mid-stage of Golden Immortal. Yes... it’s almost time... "

Hearing King Qin Guang mumbling to himself, Jiang Xiaobai felt completely numb!

Suddenly, he connected many things together and was utterly creeped out!

All of this must have been arranged as well!
