Is the cultivation world now only populated by demonesses?

Chapter 92, Section 91: The Title of Yu (Please subscribe! 10,000 words update)

In the sky above the Underworld, Xiao Qingfeng looked at the city, or rather, the kingdom.

He thought about many things.

Especially when I thought about the hundreds of years I spent as a spirit.

"Lord of the Underworld."

At first, he, like most people, believed that the King of the Underworld was dead and that the Underworld was merely a lingering presence in history.

But after hundreds of years as a spirit in the underworld, he discovered something was wrong.

The King of the Underworld did not die.

The path of death has always been in the Underworld, and the Dao Star still exists in the sky. All the spirits in the Underworld are constantly dying and being reborn through the Dao of the Underworld Lord.

For Xiao Qingfeng, the biggest challenge in achieving enlightenment in Yao Guang was whether he, as a thief, would be killed by the suddenly appearing Underworld Lord and sunk into the River Styx.

Fortunately, no.

Then he won the bet.

Xiao Qingfeng was betting that the Underworld King was definitely imprisoned and unable to return to his country.

"Let them all become a part of me."

He stood in the sky, his life force surging wildly as he roared towards the Underworld Palace.

He completely devoured the remaining Daoist principles of the Underworld.

Death and rebirth are, in a sense, very similar, and the Dao of the Underworld Lord is a great tonic for him.

Xiao Qingfeng let out a sigh of relief, waved his hand, and the gates of the prison were forcibly pulled open.

The spirits in the prison of sin exploded at that moment and were completely annihilated.

In the future, the underworld will be his kingdom, and the prison will become the place where he punishes those who disobey.

Xiao Qingfeng stopped looking at the Prison of Sin and instead unleashed his full power as a half-step Yao Guang cultivator.

The colossal creatures in the mist gradually emerged from the fog, eventually transforming into enormous, black spirits.

Metamorphosis.

Continuous transformation and generation.

Subjects will continue to appear.

The enormous pillars soar into the sky, flowing around the perimeter, resembling the pillars of mythology that connect heaven and earth.

"Inheriting the Heavenly Pillar, today, I ascend to the Jade Light."

He entered the underworld.

No one has entered this place for thousands of years.

The entire underworld briefly regains its color when the gates of hell open, except for this place.

This is the resting place of the King of the Underworld. The king does not need noisy colors, only black and white, which symbolize life and death.

"Noisy!"

The ghostly energy transformed into a demon, but Xiao Qingfeng easily crushed it.

The spacious hall was filled with countless murals, and not only that, all sorts of never-before-seen monsters were turned into stone statues, kneeling before the white bone throne in the center of the hall.

"wing?"

Xiao Qingfeng frowned as he saw a pair of wings behind the throne of bones.

Why are there wings behind the throne?

"The Underworld Queen will eventually return, and her feathers will eventually illuminate the entire Underworld Kingdom. The people of the Underworld Kingdom will give everything for the Underworld Queen."

Is this the feather of the King of the Underworld?
Xiao Qingfeng didn't pay much attention to it, and instead walked step by step toward the throne of bones.

He could sense that the Underworld was already under his control. All the spirits of the Underworld had disappeared; some were killed by his spirit, while others simply melted away for some unknown reason.

never mind.

Many of his spirits have already been generated, and the cultivators who entered the Underworld this time are the best nourishment, generating the first batch of powerful black spirits.

Xiao Qingfeng intends to use the Dao of Transformation to forever preserve the Underworld Kingdom in its current colorful state, transforming the entire city into a City of Life! He will use this as the foundation of his Dao.

Of course, this is a shortcut, directly using the authority of the Underworld King to change the laws, rather than him gradually attaining enlightenment step by step.

But who cares?

Only those who stay until the end are the victors.

Xiao Qingfeng stepped on the stone head of the statue, which grew larger and larger, and got closer and closer to the throne of his dreams.

Only the last step is left.

Centuries of long-cherished wish and centuries of perseverance will be fulfilled the moment he sits on the throne.

The sundial spun rapidly in his hand. It was actually a compass-like instrument, divided into two layers: the outer layer was the sundial, and the inner layer was the moondial.

The barrier set up by the Underworld King slowly loosened under the trembling of the sundial. Xiao Qingfeng turned around, his hand resting on the cold, white bone armrest. He could hear his own heartbeat and the rush of blood in his ears. In this eerie silence, he finally sat down.

Everything happened so naturally.

With a century of planning, there's no reason why it shouldn't succeed.

No obstacles were encountered.

"Ok?"

Xiao Qingfeng stared blankly at his hands, then suddenly turned around.

He did not perceive the authority of the Underworld.

what happened?

Suddenly, he stood up abruptly, staring in astonishment at the wings behind the throne of bones.

"feather!?"

He was furious: "Who is Yu?!"

Xiao Qingfeng was not a true spirit, so he naturally could not see the traces of "feathers" on Lu Changyuan's body.

Soon, a spirit gave him the answer.

That was someone who had arrived in the Underworld earlier than him, had walked a path to death, and had gained the approval of the Underworld King, who even bestowed upon him the honorific title "Yu".

The throne of Hades consists of two parts.

One is the throne, and the other is the feathers behind the throne.

If you want to completely take over the Underworld, you must first take away the title of "Feather" in order to seize the power of the Underworld King.

This is like a country where the ruler is not in court; a thief can naturally steal the country.

But what if there is a crown prince?
As long as the crown prince lives, the usurper will never be able to completely seize control of the country.

Yu was essentially in a position similar to that of a crown prince. Xiao Qingfeng understood everything, and he flew into a rage: "Why would the Underworld Lord bestow the title of Yu upon someone else?!"

The entire sky of the underworld seemed to turn crimson because of his anger.

But this problem is destined to remain unresolved.

"Find him! Find Yu for me! I know he's in this city!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lu Changyuan was thinking.

Where can the King of the Underworld go?

He asked this question 1,700 years ago.

The spirits of the underworld have no knowledge of this.

Indeed, if they knew, the spirits of the underworld could find their own rulers.

Lu Changyuan did not believe that the Underworld King had not left any contingency plans in his own country, nor did he believe that the Underworld King no longer wanted his country.

Think about it carefully.

Where is the most likely place in the underworld where the King of the Underworld's "recollections" remain?
The River Styx? A dead end? A path to survival? Within the sundial?

Lu Changyuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Until the girl next to him nudged him.

The silver-haired girl said, "Just a little over there."

The room wasn't big to begin with, and the bed inside was only a tiny one. Now that three people were crammed in, it naturally felt crowded.

Mei Zhaozhao was at the very back, and had fallen asleep sometime earlier, while Su Youwan was in the middle, leaning towards Lu Changyuan.

Lu Changyuan said helplessly, "She was the one who panicked the most just now, but now she's asleep. Should I say she's carefree or trusts me too much?"

The Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect always believed that since Lu Changyuan was able to kill Su Wuxiang, who was at the peak of the sixth realm, killing a half-step Yaoguang should not be a problem.

Lu Changyuan is indeed unable to kill Xiao Qingfeng now; in fact, it would be a good thing if he weren't killed.

The silver-haired girl said calmly, "Fools are sometimes lucky."

A line of text suddenly appeared in my left eye.

Xiao Qingfeng has already learned that you have received the title "Yu".

You are about to die.

Lu Changyuan suddenly spoke up: "Third Prince, do you have a way to temporarily conceal someone's identity?"

The silver-haired girl looked at Lu Changyuan and spoke after a long while: "Yes, I can temporarily change a person's fate to that of someone connected to him."

The predetermined destiny of the Five Realms has the power to conceal a person's fate.

"But it can only last for an hour at most, and I haven't entered Yao Guang yet."

Su Youwan said earnestly.

~~~~~~~~~~
Someone is talking.

Mei Zhaozhao thought to herself.

I couldn't open my eyes; my eyelids felt as if they were being weighed down by a thousand burdens.

Is she asleep?
how is this possible.

How could she possibly sleep under such circumstances? She did fall asleep, or rather, she was unconscious.

Mei Zhaozhao felt like she was having a lucid dream, in a thick fog, and something in the fog was staring at her.

Countless colossal objects emerged from the mist, surrounding a shadow whose face was obscured.

Mei Zhaozhao smelled a floral fragrance.

A faint, yet utterly otherworldly, floral fragrance, sweet yet tinged with a rotten scent, wafted before her, yet she couldn't quite place it.

Suddenly, that shadow rippled outwards like water.

Mei Zhaozhao couldn't see clearly.

The shadow was blurry and had no specific shape; it was simply a deeper, darker shadow.

But Mei Zhaozhao did indeed hear the words she had heard when she entered the Underworld.

"Five hundred years of wind, five hundred years of sun, five hundred years of rain, the King of the Underworld will always return to give all souls peace."

Is that shadow the King of the Underworld?!
Is the King of the Underworld hiding in my dreams?

Mei Zhaozhao was startled: "What are you going to do?"

The shadow was indistinct, just like her, hidden under a black robe.

Moreover, the shadow seemed to carry the indelible, chilly sandalwood scent from the depths of the mythical underworld, mixed with the perennial damp fog of the underworld.

It's extremely distressing.

Mei Zhaozhao shrank back somewhat.

She didn't actually tell Lu Changyuan the truth; to be more precise, she only told half the truth.

Why would the Hehuan Sect send her, their holy maiden, to the Underworld? Didn't she know that Hongshang wanted to kill her?

Mei Zhaozhao certainly knew.

However, it is indeed impossible to find someone in the Underworld without her.

Because she is a "psychic".

This is a unique talent, not very useful for cultivation, but it allows one to hear the last wisp of thought.

The spirits of the underworld are all the last thoughts of the deceased.

Even among the Spirit Race, very few possess such a talent.

Therefore, she naturally became the only choice for the mission.

"Lord of the Underworld, I am just a pitiful and weak woman, I have never done anything bad!"

Mei Zhaozhao pitifully begged for mercy, but suddenly, she seemed to hear the Underworld King speaking. It was a woman's voice, as charming as hers.

Is the King of the Underworld a woman?

Mei Zhaozhao straightened up: "What instructions does Lord Underworld Lord have? Please make it clear that I am just a weak woman who has not even reached the fifth realm. I cannot do much, and I cannot defeat Xiao Qingfeng either. If Lord Underworld Lord wishes to possess me, then so be it."

She felt that the King of the Underworld might be waiting for her to take the bait so that he could return to the Underworld and go back to her kingdom.

The Underworld Lord, completely black, slowly walked towards Mei Zhaozhao. Mei Zhaozhao immediately felt immense pressure and even had the urge to kneel down.

The voice seemed to come from the deepest hell, and it spoke the language of spirits, yet Mei Zhaozhao strangely understood it.

Then she heard the King of the Underworld say...

"Help Yu and punish the disloyal."
