The Tianhui Temple in the Netherworld is a very independent place. Here, only things that originally belonged to the Riyao Mountain can be preserved. Other than that, any power that does not belong here will be deprived.

This is also the reason why those who have become spirit masters are not welcome here.

The priestesses do not like spirit masters who have already signed a contract with them.

Moreover, in their opinion, the contract between the spirit master and the ordinary spirit is too crude and ugly, which is unacceptable to them.

……

Kendo training is located in another empty dojo. People at the third level have the right to use many rooms here. They can do anything here, except, of course, playing with women.

After all, they are the selected products here. If the products have defects, those ladies will not mind returning them and giving bad reviews.

And the people who come here are generally not so stupid as to not know their own identities.

The entire third level is suspended above the other levels, similar to a castle in the air. It has everything it needs. The dojo is very large. When Chiwashu came here, she saw an old man in a white martial arts uniform waiting here quietly, with a wooden sword placed in front of him.

Not far opposite him, there was also a wooden sword, which Chihiro Shu would use later.

"Master Qianhe, according to your request, we have found the best kendo teacher here for you. We hope you will be satisfied." The maid slowly retreated.

This is the Tianhui Shrine. Any means that can enhance one's charm can be achieved here.

After all, this was originally a place for noble ladies to cultivate husbands.

In the shrine, young people don’t have to do anything but focus on improving themselves. There will be special staff to take care of the rest of their food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Of course, this is only relative to the people in the top four levels.

Chiwashu respectfully picked up the wooden sword and saluted the old man in front of him.

The lowest level of Tianhui Temple, the ninth level.

Su Wu looked at the bowls and plates that had almost formed a small mountain in front of him, feeling somewhat helpless.

"Don't we have any time to rest?"

Sakata on the side did it quite naturally. He smiled when he heard Su Wu's words: "Rest time? This thing does not belong to anyone at the ninth level."

"Aren't we also selected by those noble ladies?"

"Yes, but that also depends on whether they like us." Sakata shook his head.

“Do you know there is a thing called green leaves?”

"Compared to those senior staff, we are like green leaves. The meaning of our existence is to set off the excellence of those senior staff. Look, isn't this our role?"

Su Wu: "...I suddenly feel that what you said makes a lot of sense, and I am speechless."

Sakata: “Yeah.”

"Then is there a possibility that we at the ninth level will also be directly selected by the ladies?" Su Wu asked while washing the dishes.

"Are you dreaming? That kind of thing is basically impossible. To enter the eyes of noble ladies, even the lowest noble lady must reach the eighth level. After all, the eighth level is at least not the bottom." Sakata shook his head.

“Those noble ladies actually compare themselves to each other, so there is no possibility for us at the bottom of the ninth level.”

"Perhaps even if a noble lady falls in love with you and me along the way, she will only promote you to the eighth level first, and then contact you and me." Sakata looked at Su Wu.

"So do you understand? Brother Su Wu, our only way out is to climb up."

Hearing him say this, Su Wu was puzzled: "But we don't have any time at all. Even on the day of the selection, we must be in a hurry, right?"

"That depends on others. After all, we don't have the right to choose. Who knows, some noble lady might suddenly take a fancy to our looks and want to get in touch with us?"

Sakata sighed: "If all the men in the entire shrine are commodities provided for selection, then we at the ninth level are the least valuable extras among those commodities."

“So we don’t have a choice.”

"If that's the case, what are we still doing here? There's obviously not much hope, so we might as well escape from here as soon as possible." Su Wu spoke directly.

"Shh, please keep your voice down. How can you say such things casually..." Sakata seemed frightened by Su Wu's words. He glared at Su Wu with some blame, and then spoke.

"What do you know? Do you know that life outside the Shrine is necessarily comfortable? Do you think being chosen by the Shrine to enter the palace is a very unlucky thing?"

He looked at Su Wu with a serious expression: "But I want to tell you that outside the Divine Palace is a very dangerous world. In the outside world, I don't know how many people dream of entering here and escaping from that dangerous outside world."

"Because the Shrine is where the three young ladies are. With them here, this is the safest and most peaceful place in the entire world."

"Even at the ninth level, as long as we finish our work every day, we can get enough food and a safe environment to rest and enjoy ourselves. These simply do not exist in the outside world."

After hearing what he said, Su Wu suddenly became curious about the world outside.

"What terrible things are there in the world outside this temple?"

Sakata looked at Su Wu strangely, as if he thought Su Wu didn't even know all this.

But he didn't care and spoke.

"In the outside world, gods, ghosts and humans exist together."

"Gods and ghosts are on the same level, and humans are the lowest."

"So you should be able to understand how painful it is for people to live in such a world."

He seemed to have thought of something and sighed.

"Before I came here, I was a swordsmith apprentice in a village, and my master was the best swordsmith in the village."

"At that time, the master often had to go out to forge knives for some customers because of some commissions, so I often accompanied him to some remote areas late at night."

"I remember the last time my master forged a sword, it was for a village that was plagued by locusts. As a result, right after he finished forging the sword, he was eaten by locusts."

"In fact, Master was tricked into coming here. That village had long been a breeding ground for locust ghosts. They knew that Master was good at making ghost-slaying swords, so they used a very simple trick to trick him into coming here."

Sakata recalled bad memories and looked painful.

"The locust-slaying sword that was forged was stained with the blood of the master, and with the resentment of the locust ghost, it became an evil sword. This was not what the master wanted."

"And because my master realized that something was wrong in advance and secretly sent me out of the village, I was able to survive. Otherwise, I would have become food for the locust ghosts."

“So I came here.”

"Mount Sunshine, Tenkai Shrine, this is also Takama-ga-hara." His words were shocking.

“Only gods can fight against demons. Each of those noble ladies is actually a human pillar of the eight million gods of Takamagahara.

So I entered the Tianhui Temple. As long as I could marry a noble lady and have a ghost marriage, I would have power. "

He clenched his fists.

"In fact, I don't have much desire for revenge in my heart, because my master once told me that people who do his job will be retaliated against sooner or later. After all, powerful ghosts will not allow weak people to control any power that can deal with them."

"Master had already anticipated what might happen to him, and he also told me not to avenge him."

"It's just..." Sakata's expression was a little numb.

"I will not allow the blade made by my master to become a bloodthirsty sword. I want to take it back."

"People in the outside world are also living in dire straits..." Su Wu muttered to himself.

The Netherworld does not just cover the Riyao Mountain. Since it is called a world, it means that it is a complete world, an incredibly strange world created by the incredible sound of space.

This world has various definitions given by Kong Xiang.

This world is more like a true portrayal of Kong Xiang's soul.

So here we have Mount Riyao, Tianhui Shrine, and countless cities and countries outside.

But in the underworld, they are not very noticeable.

Because Tenkai Shrine and Takama-ga-hara above Tenkai Shrine are the core of this place.

"So you and I should be thankful that we can stay in a Tenkai Shrine where we can live happily just by pleasing the gods." Sakata glanced at Su Wu.

He never forgot his hatred, so he came to Tianhui Temple with a purpose.

The reason why he persuaded Su Wu was that he didn't want him to have any idea of ​​leaving here.

Because compared to here, the world outside is no less than hell on earth.

Ghosts eat people, and gods are high above.

The world wasn't supposed to be like this.

Each of those three young ladies has the ability to change the world, but they just do nothing.

Sometimes he would wonder if humans had done something that caused the three young ladies to start not caring about human deaths and let ghosts eat them.

But he was not qualified to ask, because he was only at the ninth level, the lowest level of the Tianhui Temple.

"I would like to see the world outside." Su Wu spoke at this time.

"Life in the beautiful Heavenly Palace is like a hothouse. Here, people's souls can easily become weak."

He looked at Sakata and said, "But what you said makes sense. If the outside world is really as dangerous as you said, then this place can be a paradise for refuge."

"Believe me, you don't want to go outside." Sakata did not agree with Su Wu's point of view.

"You haven't seen what it's like when real people are like animals." He pointed at himself.

"But I have seen it. My master and I once passed by a village that was ravaged by ghosts."

"Do you know what corpses are all over the ground?"

"The blood dyed the soil purple, and the stench and bloodiness enveloped the entire village."

"There is also the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. Even the most powerful human town will instantly become a paradise for demons if it encounters the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons."

"At that time, all kinds of absurd and bizarre things that you dare not even think about will happen."

"Giant human faces grew on the walls, and terrifying giant human-faced moths preyed on pedestrians on the ground."

"A monster grows from within a person's body."

"This kind of thing could happen in any city, except here."

"This is Takamagahara, where the gods reside. Only here is the pure land that ghosts dare not approach, because there are three young ladies here."

Chapter 86: Clear Skies

Su Wu didn't know what kind of world Sakata had experienced, but through his words, he had a general understanding of this strange underworld.

The Netherworld was created by Kong Xiang, who was one of the three young ladies. This world was the embodiment of her inner world.

Su Wu seemed to be thinking about something. He did not refute Sakata anymore, but started working in silence.

Seeing that his words seemed to have worked, Sakata sighed, reached out and patted Su Wu's shoulder.

"In fact, it's good enough to be able to live here. We don't need to think about other things. What we need to do now is to become the eighth level, or even a higher level."

“Only in this way can we live a better life.”

He seemed to have thought of something and smiled: "It would be great if you and I could get to know a middle-ranking noble lady. This would mean that we would have no worries about food and clothing in the future, but who can say about that kind of thing?"

"The time for the selection is approaching, we just need to do our best to perform well. Well, there is a rumor that the eldest lady will be the one to judge this time."

Hearing Sakata say this, Su Wu was stunned for a moment: "Miss? Wasn't it her last time? Why is it her again this time?"

"I don't know either. I heard that the second and third ladies had a fight this time. I don't know what happened. After all, the three ladies have never had any quarrels. Who knew that they would fight this time..." Sakata said helplessly: "I guess it's because of this that the eldest lady came to the selection this time."

Su Wu suddenly felt speechless.

Why did the fight break out at this time?

In that case, there is no point for him to participate in the selection, after all, he is not familiar with the eldest lady.

Thinking of this, Su Wu had other plans in his mind.

Living in the Tianhui Shrine, their only choice may be to participate or not to participate in the selection.

If he does not participate in the selection, he can do other things and treat the selection day as a day off.

Since it is the eldest lady who is coming this time, he should get to know the place first. He has been busy every day these days and has no time to adjust himself.

Thinking of this, he stopped paying attention to Sakata who was chattering beside him and started working seriously.

Soon, time flew by, and with a huge roar, the most important day arrived for everyone in the Tianhui Temple.
