Chapter 558 Major Negligence
"Finally, I have ice spirit energy. I feel like I've come back to life."

Hanlian closed her eyes and said, completely absorbed in the moment.

"Amitabha! This is all thanks to Fellow Daoist Ranxi."

A smile appeared on Yun Chen's face.

Xun Kun then cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Yun Xi and said:

"Thank you!"

Yunxi was also entering for the first time after the space merged. She had already released her divine sense to take in everything in the space.

The four of them were currently on the outskirts of the Misty Snowfield, while the center of the Misty Snowfield was the old territory of the Immortal Healer Sect. The two sides had merged smoothly, and there was a restriction in the center. Without her permission, the three people and one beast could not get close at all.

This time, Han Lian randomly chose a place to release her personal magic house, a white snow house that was very compatible with her spiritual root. After the four people and one beast went inside, they began to discuss the useful information they had obtained from the Black and White Impermanence.

Han Lian now considers Yun Xi and the others her close friends, so she speaks frankly:
"Ranxi, why didn't you mention the matter of passing through the underworld just now?"

"The Black and White Impermanence arrived in a hurry and are not clear about the situation here. Moreover, it is obvious that the disconnection of this small world from the underworld is not the underworld's punishment for this small world. So it is hard to say what deviation has occurred in the underworld."

"What if we enter the underworld without knowing the full story, and then face retaliation?"

Yunxi always considers the worst-case scenario.

“Amitabha! Ranxi is right. Besides, none of the four of us have reached the Nascent Soul stage. We have also sacrificed most of our merits this time. If we rashly enter the Underworld, we are easily ambushed. It is better to wait and see.”

Xun Kun nodded in agreement:

"Ranxi has already explained the situation to the two ghost messengers. If they cannot come up with a proper solution, then the responsibility does not lie with us."

"A hundred years from now, when our cultivation reaches the Out-of-Body stage, we can forcefully open the Gates of Hell. At that time, our souls will be even stronger, and we can leave our physical bodies for a longer period, making it easier for us to enter the Underworld."

Yunxi smiled, a pair of dimples appearing at the corners of her lips, and said:

“Yun Chen and Xun Kun have the same thoughts as me, which are also my concerns. Fortunately, the ‘Misty Snowfield’ can be opened at this critical juncture, giving us something to rely on. The primary task next is to improve our cultivation and wait for news from the two ghost messengers.”

"That's all we can do for now."

After that, the four of them began their cultivation. Lili was left in the capsule magic room by Yunxi so that she could be notified if the two ghost messengers came.

Underworld Judges

After returning to the underworld, the Black and White Impermanence immediately went to see their superiors and reported the situation on Weilan Star.

The judge, who had been marking the Book of Life and Death with his soul-summoning pen, nearly dropped it upon hearing their words, and abruptly looked up, saying:

"Say what you just said again?"

Black Impermanence wiped the saliva off his face and recounted the situation on Weilan Star. White Impermanence added:
"Judge, the Azure Realm is a low-level plane with millions of living beings. However, when we came back and checked the records, it was clearly a dead star with no living beings, which is why there is no Ghost Gate connecting to the Underworld."

In order to maintain their reproduction, the creatures there created their own 'reincarnation system' to replace the responsibilities of the underworld. However, how could their system compare to the well-developed system of the underworld?

Therefore, the souls used for reincarnation there have already malfunctioned. Resentment and filth are eroding their spirits, and these spirits are slowly becoming corrupted. If this is not stopped in time, the entire planet Weilan may eventually become a haven for evil spirits.

The two were usually skilled at capturing souls, and were especially sensitive to spirits, so Bai Wuchang immediately noticed the abnormality in the spirit of the Weilan Star person. Hei Wuchang chimed in:
“Brother Bai is right. Those four cultivators said they were accidentally teleported to Weilan Star during their training. They must have sensed the abnormality of the small world’s soul and dared not act rashly. That’s why they gathered the power of the Dao, the Demon, the Buddha, and the Monster to forcibly open the Gate of Hell.”

Bai Wuchang continued:

“One of the four of us had met once before and helped us deal with a mistake made by the underworld officials. We gave her a stick of incense so that they could summon us.”

"Yes! When we learned that it was a death star, we brothers thought something had gone wrong and originally didn't plan to go. But these four people had accumulated merit, and the power to open the gates of hell was mixed with the power of merit, so we brothers went to find out."

Black Impermanence immediately added that if the fault lay with the Underworld, then the investigation would definitely go up the chain of command. As the two ghost messengers at the very bottom of the food chain, they had to prove that they had indeed discovered it by accident. They also emphasized that Yunxi and the other three had forcibly opened the gates of hell with the power of their merits, indicating that they dared not ignore the matter.

The judge was now in a real bind. He immediately ordered someone to retrieve the Book of Life and Death related to Weilan Star, and then said to the Black and White Impermanence:
"I need to find out where the problem lies first. You must not make this public."

"Yes, my lord!"

The two agreed in unison, and then Bai Wuchang said again:

"The four cultivators are also aware of this matter, but they have offered to assist the Underworld in rectifying Weilan Star if needed. The four are still waiting for news on Weilan Star."

The judge put down his soul-reaping pen, rubbed his temples, and then spoke:

"Once the underworld has investigated and determined that their assistance is indeed needed, they will be able to help. The underworld only deals with the reincarnation of the dead; it is not convenient for us to interfere in matters of the mortal realm. You should appease them for now, and ask for their assistance once the investigation here has yielded results."

"Yes, my lord."

The Black and White Impermanence exchanged a glance, turned around and left the judge's office, just as they passed by the judge's assistant who was carrying a stack of the Book of Life and Death.

When the judge found the book of Wei Lanxing, he discovered that Wei Lanxing's Book of Life and Death had been tampered with. It was completely blank, which was indeed the state of a dead star. However, after he used the Soul-Hooking Pen to draw on it, people's names appeared on it.

"hiss!"

The judge gasped in shock and immediately vanished from the judge's office to meet Yama, the King of Hell. This was a major blunder on the part of the judge's office.

Deep in the Weilanxing Scenic Area
Yunxi used the power of the successful spatial fusion to raise her cultivation to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm before stopping her cultivation. After leaving the space, she waited for the Black and White Impermanence's reply in the Dharma House.

Lili didn't like staying in the chilly "Foggy Snow Region," so she stayed by Yunxi's side.

“Your Excellency, the Weilan Star People are currently inspecting this ecological jungle area, and they should be able to find this place soon.”

Yunxi patted Lili's head and said nonchalantly:

"It's alright, we'll just move to another place when they come looking for us."

In any case, she no longer intended to have any dealings with the authorities on Weilan Star; she had already given them a chance before.

"Venerable One, why have you stopped improving your cultivation? You are still some distance from the Nascent Soul stage."

Lili asked curiously.

"No rush. After we deal with the problems on Weilan Star, all four of us will receive a sum of merit, which will make it easier to break through at that time."
