Hell Emperor.

Chapter 331 Shura Jie - Construction

"Now that the resources have been gathered, it is time to build this Bone Casting Hall."

After dismantling the golden wheel and gathering the currently scarce steel bones, Ye Jie did not hesitate. The first thing he did was to complete the construction of the bone-casting hall.

As Ye Jie's mind moved, a series of new records appeared again on the seven stitched pages.

[Bookkeeping of life and death:]

[In the autumn of the 639th year of the Moro calendar, Shura Jie spent two million Yin De and 50,000 kilograms of steel bones to modify the architectural files of the Golden Wheel Palace.]

[The Bone Casting Hall has been added to the Golden Wheel Hall building column.]

As new characters appeared, the ground of the Golden Wheel Palace began to shake, and for a moment the earth was trembling as if a natural disaster had occurred.

The ghosts in the hall were horrified and screamed. Most of them died in the earthquake caused by the Earth Dragon King. Now they felt the tragic scene of the earth shaking again, just like the nightmare in the deepest memory reappeared. Many ghosts lost their strength and just sat on the ground.

Every ghost has the most profound impression of how he or she died, and can never forget it. Once the circumstances of death reappear, it is likely to bring a huge blow to the fragile ghost.

The shock only lasted for a few breaths before it completely subsided. The ghosts raised their heads in astonishment, only to see a magnificent hall suddenly appear in front of where Ye Jie was standing.

The flawlessly calcined white jade pillars support the entire hall. From a distance, the hall appears spacious and bright, and its appearance is quite extraordinary. If you get closer, you can hear the crackling sound of fire and the crisp sound of hammering coming from the hall door.

Seeing that there was suddenly a majestic and magnificent palace in the place where there was originally nothing, the ghosts were so shocked that they were speechless and could not believe what they saw.

"What is that? Or am I just dazzled?"

"This is impossible... How could a palace appear out of nowhere right in front of us?"

"Didn't you see it? The Palace Master was not surprised at all. The Palace Master must have used a method we don't know about. This is really a miracle!"

Everyone exclaimed in surprise, their words were full of disbelief, the scene happening before their eyes was beyond their comprehension, no matter how hard they tried, they could not comprehend the mystery, they could only look at the calm and composed Palace Master Ye Jie with eyes of reverence.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Ye Jie smiled faintly and spoke slowly: "All the bone-casting ghost messengers beside the blazing oil pan, come to the bone-casting hall. From now on, the smelting of steel bones will not require the use of oil pans, and will all be done in the bone-casting hall."

After Ye Jie's introduction, the ghosts suddenly realized what the Bone Casting Hall was used for and quickly reassigned their tasks.

At this time in the human world, the Earth Dragon King was collecting buried bone fragments from under the earth with extremely high efficiency. The bone-burying ghosts would send those bone fragments to the Bone Casting Hall, and then the bone-casting ghosts in the hall would complete the smelting of steel bones and produce the necessary resources for the construction of the underworld buildings.

Under Ye Jie's arrangement, everything went on in an orderly manner. In the resource storage on the seven stitched pages, the amount of steel bones was steadily increasing bit by bit, and the output was much higher than during the Fiery Oil Pan period.

Seeing this, Ye Jie smiled with satisfaction. Now, with the Bone Casting Hall, the development of the Golden Wheel Hall has taken a crucial step forward.

In the smelting of steel bones, the Bone Casting Hall plays an indispensable role, which cannot be replaced by the frying pan. How to gather 50,000 steel bones to build the Bone Casting Hall once puzzled him.

By dismantling the Golden Wheel, Ye Jie finally had enough steel bones to successfully build the Bone Casting Hall. The subsequent output of steel bones was obviously not a problem.

In addition to bringing him 140,000 kilograms of steel bones, dismantling the fourteen golden wheels also allowed him to obtain a large number of other rare resources. His spiritual essence and soul essence increased by 140,000 strands, and his wisdom and consciousness also increased by 14,000.

Every one of these resources can be considered quite rare and cannot be obtained through ordinary means. They must be produced slowly through unique underworld buildings, just like steel bones. Now that so many of them have been added at once, the resources in the palace have become visibly enriched.

Abundant resources also mean that more underworld buildings can be built. The underworld buildings have different functions. No matter which type of building it is, it has a unique use. Only the Lord of Yama Palace is qualified to plan the buildings in the palace as he pleases.

"But...it's fine if you have to spend Yin De to build a building, but why do you have to spend Yin De to demolish a building?"

What made him helpless was that although the resources would indeed be returned after dismantling the Golden Wheel, the good karma would not be returned at all. Instead, a lot of Ye Jie's own good karma was deducted. He really didn't know what to say.

For every dismantling of a golden wheel, one million merits would be deducted. Now Ye Jie has dismantled fourteen of them, which has resulted in a total of fourteen million merits being deducted.

In the past, this 14 million Yin De would have seemed like an unattainable number to him, enough to make him feel painful for hundreds of years. An ordinary ghost messenger would have to save money for 1,400 years to accumulate this much Yin De, and he couldn't have encountered any misfortunes during that time, so how could he waste it so casually?
Only the Lord of Yama Palace could casually take out 14 million merits to demolish buildings without even blinking an eye.

After thinking about it carefully, Ye Jie also understood the reason.

Whether it was demolishing or building the underworld buildings, Ye Jie did not let his ghost messengers complete the task. Instead, he used the ability of the seven-sided stitching pages to directly modify the Golden Wheel Palace files.

Modifying the files requires spending Yin De, which Ye Jie had already clearly understood when he was modifying the martial arts files. The same rule applies to the Golden Wheel Palace files. Whether it is building or demolishing a building, it makes no difference to the seven-sided stitching pages.

"Perhaps I should assign this kind of demolition task to my ghost messenger to complete. This way, I can avoid paying the Yin De fee for modifying the file... However, sending ghosts to demolish it will take extra time. I'm afraid it will take several months to complete. Besides, I also need to pay Yin De to the ghost messenger. This back and forth is not as convenient as directly modifying it."

Ye Jie frowned, with a hint of thought in his eyes.

The more Ye Jie used the Seven-Sided Stitching Pages, the more he could feel the magic of this thing. At the same time, he also realized that he knew too little about the Seven-Sided Stitching Pages. Even things like demolishing buildings were the result of a flash of inspiration. Otherwise, he would not have been able to build the Bone Casting Hall so quickly.

"Now that we have so many rare resources, let's see if there are any suitable underworld buildings that can be built."

As Ye Jie's mind moved, soon, a series of underworld buildings appeared again on the seven stitched pages.

[Heart-Warming and Soul-Nourishing Spring (Unlocked on Seven Sides): Draw water from the netherworld to build a water-heating and soul-healing spring, which has the miraculous effect of bringing the dead back to life. It can repair all injuries of those who bathe in the hot spring, restore the soul to a flawless state, cleanse the mind, and eliminate the inner demons, which can ensure the immortality of the body, eternal youth, and increase life by tens of thousands of years. Construction requires 50 million Yin De, 100,000 catties of steel bones, 100,000 strands of spiritual essence, and 100,000 strands of soul essence.] [Earth Dragon Fence: When an earth dragon turns over, it shakes thousands of miles away. Set up an earth dragon fence to breed earth dragons. When an earth dragon turns over, it will cause an earthquake in the human world, increasing the output of ghosts. The intensity of the earthquake will depend on the realm of the earth dragon. Each earth dragon fence can breed a maximum of one earth dragon. Construction requires 500,000 Yin De and 1,000 catties of steel bones.]

[Senluo Wanxiang Hall (unlocked on seven sides): All the treasures of the universe belong to Yama. Build the Senluo Wanxiang Hall to collect all the rare resources in the underworld. Every time you consume a thousand souls, you can produce any one unit of rare resources except steel bones. Construction requires 200 million Yin De, 500,000 catties of steel bones, and 100,000 wisdoms. ]

【………】

Looking at the buildings presented on the seven stitched pages, Ye Jie fell into deep thought for a moment.

The planning of the underworld buildings and the recruitment of ghost messengers in recent days have consumed a lot of his merits. He only got a total of more than 60 million merits from the old master of the Golden Wheel Palace. Moreover, this merit cannot be all invested in the construction of the Golden Wheel Palace. He has to keep some for modifying his own martial arts files.

At this point, Ye Jie’s good deeds are no longer enough.

On the seven stitched pages, the later the building was unlocked, the more Yin De it consumed to build. The construction conditions that required tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of Yin De gave him a headache. Although the requirements for rare resources were met, Yin De was not enough, so he could only sigh at those extraordinary buildings and could not build them.

"Logically speaking, this Golden Wheel is responsible for sending souls to reincarnation, so it should be able to earn Yin De as a guide fee. However, I don't know how to make use of this object, so I can't earn Yin De from it... Forget it, let's build a ground dragon fence first."

Ye Jie thought about it and soon came up with an idea.

Now that there is a lack of resentment, it is impossible to build a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​bones. The bone fragments needed to smelt steel bones are all collected by the Earth Dragon King in the human world. Ye Jie naturally cannot treat it unfairly.

What's more, with this earth dragon fence, when the Earth Dragon King comes to the underworld, he can naturally take on the post of the great demon guarding the palace. With a great demon of the demon king level guarding the palace, the ghost officials in the palace will feel much more at ease.

In other Yama Palaces, there are different types of guardian monsters, and there are even divine beasts, which are truly extraordinary. Now that there is the Earth Dragon King as the guardian monster, its realm may not be as high as that of a real divine beast, but it diligently collects bone fragments and plays a vital role in the development of the Golden Wheel Palace. It is an indispensable part of the palace.

After making the decision, Ye Jie did not hesitate. As his mind moved, a series of information soon appeared on the seven stitched pages again.

[Bookkeeping of life and death:]

[In the autumn of the 639th year of the Moro calendar, Shura Jie spent 500,000 Yin De and 1,000 kilograms of steel bones to modify the architectural files of the Golden Wheel Palace.]

[The Earth Dragon Fence has been added to the Golden Wheel Palace building column. 】

The shock spread again. With the experience just now, this time, the ghost in the hall understood what happened. He was no longer panicked, but instead turned his expectant gaze to Ye Jie.

Last time, a magnificent palace appeared along with the tremor. What will appear this time?

Soon, everything that happened before their eyes answered everyone's doubts. They saw a circle of white jade-like fences in a remote area outside the temple, which tightly enclosed the surrounding land for more than ten miles. There were also water channels and huge bowls for food.

Seeing the appearance of the earth dragon fence, Ye Jie couldn't help but touch his chin.

This earth dragon fence is so spacious that it should be able to accommodate the huge body of the Earth Dragon King, which is hundreds of feet long.

As a great demon guarding the palace, letting the Earth Dragon King lie in the fence like this would somewhat weaken his reputation as a great demon guarding the palace. Thinking of this, Ye Jie couldn't help scratching his head.

"Is there any building that is more suitable for the great palace guardian demon?"

As if sensing Ye Jie's intentions, a series of words appeared on the seven stitched pages.

[The Document Hall is missing, so the administrative options of the guardian beast cannot be unlocked, and the beast building cannot be built. 】

Looking at the records on the seven stitched pages, Ye Jie's mouth twitched.

How come even the guardian beasts of the temple needed the Document Hall to unlock? Without the Document Hall, would the entire Yama Hall be unable to function normally?
If you think about it carefully, it seems to be the case.

According to the seven stitched pages, the Document Hall is the administrative center of the Yama Hall. Without the Document Hall, it is impossible to modify the existing rules in the Yama Hall at all. Even if the hall master is here, his words are no longer effective. Only records written in the Document Hall can be recognized by the main account of the Book of Life and Death.

"Okay, the Document Hall... Now that I have built the Bone Casting Hall, as long as I am given enough time to produce the required steel bones, I will be able to build the Document Hall. I want to see when this Document Hall can be built!"

Thinking of this, Ye Jie seemed to feel a resentment rising in his heart.

Initially, the reason why Ye Jie wanted to build the Document Hall was simply to change the name of the Yama Hall. If there was no Document Hall, he would have to continue to call himself the Master of the Golden Wheel Hall.

During the subsequent construction of the underworld, Ye Jie was shocked to find that the role of the Clerk's Hall seemed to be greater than he expected. Without the Clerk's Hall, even the ghost messengers could not be recruited in sufficient numbers. Once the number exceeded, the entire Yama Hall would be completely paralyzed due to low administrative efficiency, which would then be a loss.

In addition, any administrative option requires the existence of the Secretariat as a prerequisite. Otherwise, the words of the Palace Master will be ineffective.

At this point, Ye Jie wanted to build the Document Hall. In addition to all these reasons, there was another reason, which was that he was holding a grudge in his heart, which turned into an obsession that he must build this Document Hall.

As the construction of the earth dragon fence was completed, an additional item was added to the building column in the Golden Wheel Palace archives. Ye Jie took a glance and took in all the information presented on it.

[Life and Death Records: Golden Wheel Palace]

【建筑：转金轮1、天诏台1、冥府大阵1、符兵堂1、传法殿1、烈火油锅1、大食堂3、铸骨大殿1、地龙围栏1】
