Cultivation of Immortality: This is what unorthodox methods are like.

The second layer of the underworld:

Wang Quan waved goodbye to the many ghosts and gods.

Not long ago, this group of ghosts and spirits gave a ghost and spirit that suddenly fell from the sky a good beating before bidding farewell.

After exchanging contact information with them, Wang Quan waved goodbye with reluctance.

According to his idea, he wanted to bring these second-level ghosts and gods into the real world.

In his view, whether it is the underworld or the second or third layer of the world, although they are important, the real world is still more important.

He wanted to expand Stone City and develop it.

While relying solely on the power of Stone City itself and its connections to several other worlds has some effect, it still cannot satisfy him.

If these ghosts and spirits could be brought into the real world, then Stone City would truly have a profound foundation.

Unfortunately... they refused.

at this time:

Before leaving, the ghostly girl, now missing one of her bears, gave Wang Quan a box; "There's an incense stick inside."

"Once you light it, you can make contact with us by offering prayers in all directions."

"At that time, as long as we are in the same world, even if we cross thousands of mountains and rivers, I can help you overcome a life-or-death crisis."

"Even if you encounter an immortal, I can still help you fend them off now."

Wang Quan was not surprised to hear this.

These ghosts and spirits were not as powerful as Accelerator, much less powerful than immortals.

However, they have lived through almost two eras, and even the most worthless stone spirit is qualified to challenge immortals.

In this way, the box can be considered a life-saving treasure.

only.......

Their memories, in that constantly resetting world, have already given him a scroll of imperial scriptures.

Wang Quan was about to say that he had already received the "Imperial Scripture" as payment.

As a result, the group of ghostly boys and girls waved their hands and turned to leave.

Wang Quan stood atop a cloud and waved goodbye to them.

After they could no longer be seen, he sighed and murmured to himself, "What a pity."

The next breath, a voice sounded beside him: "What's the pity? Those ghosts and spirits are an unstable factor."

"If you continue to associate with them, it won't be long before you fall into the underworld, become a ghost, and become their vassal."

Wang Quan silently turned around and saw a coffin with an old man sitting on it.

The old man was emitting black smoke; he didn't look like a good person.

Wang Quan secretly prepared a thousand or eight hundred escape lights, sensed the substitute death spells hidden in places like the Drowning Lower Courtyard, Stone City, and Bitter Cold City, touched the box the ghosts and gods had given him earlier, and then laughed, "Who are you?"

The old man shrouded in black smoke coughed, rose from his seat on the coffin lid, put his hands behind his back, gazed into the distance, and sighed, "I am the Black Smoke Taoist..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Quan shook his head and said, "Then, Black Smoke Taoist, what do you want with me?"

The Taoist priest in black smoke blushed and said angrily, "I haven't finished introducing myself yet."

"You little brat, how can you have no respect for a strong person like me?"

"When I was young, I single-handedly suppressed eight hundred unorthodox geniuses and three thousand heretical prodigies."

"He has even fought against 108 orthodox Xuanmen masters of the same realm."

"I am now a powerful figure, like Accelerator."

"Young man, you should respect a strong person like me; the fact that you know about my past is a blessing from your ancestors."

"You've managed to meet me, I wonder how much good karma your ancestors must have accumulated in the underworld to get this opportunity."

"Now that the opportunity to meet the strong has arrived, if you don't seize it and bask in their glory, when will you?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Quan fell silent.

The Taoist priest stroking his beard felt quite pleased with himself for having intimidated the royal authority.

At this moment, Wang Quan spoke:

"The strong ones I thought they were were at least a little bit legendary."

"The moment someone sees you, they learn about your past and your legends."

"No need for words to boast about the brilliance of youth, no need for grand displays."

"If you just stand there quietly, all the beings you see will know your past."

After Wang Quan finished speaking, he looked at the Taoist in black smoke: "And you, it is obvious that you have no legendary status."

Black Smoke Taoist...gritting his teeth.

He glared angrily at the king.

Wang Quan blinked, looking completely innocent.

After a short while, the Taoist priest in black smoke laughed loudly, "I was hoping to give you a hard time."

"I didn't expect you to give me such a hard time first."

"amazing!"

"As expected of a prodigy who can connect the first and second layers of the underworld and the second world in the polar regions."

At this point, the Black Smoke Taoist sighed and remarked, "Young people today are far more capable than we were back then."

Wang Quan smiled but didn't say anything.

The Black Smoke Daoist stopped pretending and said seriously, "Fellow Daoist, I am here on behalf of the [Daoist Court of the World], and also on behalf of the Drowning Dao to give you this reward."

Finally, we'd like to ask you for a favor.

Wang Quan raised an eyebrow: "What reward?"

"How can I help you?"

The Black Smoke Taoist took a deep breath and said, "You are the first person to connect with the second layer of the Netherworld in the far west, making the far west even more stable."

"The Daoist Court of the World has prepared a special Daoist scripture for you."

"However... this special Taoist scripture is not unique."

Upon hearing this, Wang Quan immediately beamed with joy: "It doesn't matter if it's not unique."

The Taoist priest in black smoke nodded, then handed him a box: "This special Taoist scripture is not unique, but not many people have practiced it."

"If you master the practice, you only need to recite the incantation on the box, and the box will automatically take the Taoist scriptures away."

Wang Quan nodded.

The Black Smoke Taoist then took out a second box: "This box contains a fifth-tier [Inverted Wisdom]. This treasure was specially prepared for you by the Drowning Path Headquarters."

"Although it is not as special as the Daoist scriptures, it is still the intention of the [Drowning Dao]."

Wang Quan was unexpectedly delighted.

This treasure came at just the right time.

In the constantly reset small world, he spent countless millennia, yet still could not master the 60,000th volume of the Dao Scripture, nor could he reach the sixth rank of Dao Seal. At that moment, he knew that his wisdom had been sealed.

You need an external cheat to unlock the seal and soar to the heavens.

The fifth-tier [Inverted Wisdom] might be the external aid he needs.

"My darling!"

Wang Quan was delighted and grabbed the second box, hiding it away.

This treasure came at just the right time for him.

He felt that with this treasure, he would definitely be able to master the 60,000th volume of the Daoist scriptures in a short period of time.

The Taoist priest was quite pleased to see him take the box away.

"Fellow Daoist, if you are willing to help us connect with the second level of the Underworld in the other polar regions, the [World Dao Court] has prepared some other treasures for you."

"Those treasures, though not as precious as the mysterious Taoist scriptures, are still quite valuable."

Wang Quan shook his head upon hearing this: "The reason I was able to connect the second and first levels of the underworld is purely by luck."

As he spoke, he briefly recounted what had happened.

Finally, he asked suspiciously, "As powerful figures like Accelerator, you should be able to easily create a safe zone in the second level of the Underworld!"

The Black Smoke Taoist sighed, "【Accelerator】only represents 【one side】."

"I'm not invincible yet."

"What we can do on the first level of the underworld, we can't do on the second level."

Wang Quan seemed to be thinking: "So... you didn't dare to descend when those ghosts and gods were there just now."

"You'll only dare to descend after they've left?"

The Taoist priest in black smoke coughed: "It's just a coincidence, nothing more; I'm not afraid of them."

Wang Quan: "I didn't say you were afraid of them."

The Black Smoke Taoist...
