Hell Emperor.

Chapter 484 Ye Jie - Underworld Soil
Tianji No.

"Ok?"

In the quiet room, Ye Jie, who was concentrating his breath with his eyes closed, suddenly felt something strange. He opened his eyes, but without waking up Shen Qingge who was sleeping beside him, he went to the upper deck alone.

"Did you feel it?"

Su Miao's cold tone came from behind. Ye Jie did not turn around, but just said:
"Yes... I'm familiar with this feeling, people's life spans being revealed."

Su Miao curled her lips and said, "You are right. We have left the territory of the Nether Spirit Palace and entered the territory of the Azure Lotus Palace. Here, the trade of life span is allowed. All living beings need to do is close their eyes to accurately see their remaining life span."

As he said that, Su Miao couldn't help but snorted: "I remember that someone had ignored the advice and insisted on unlocking the Yangshou trade. Do you regret it now?"

Ye Jie heard the pressure in her words, but did not refute. He just said: "I was wrong about this matter. If I hadn't insisted on doing this, I'm afraid many things would be different."

Su Miao was stunned. She didn't expect Ye Jie to admit it so quickly. She thought that according to Ye Jie's personality, he would never admit it no matter what.

Seeing Ye Jie here, everyone gathered around. Nan Linghe opened his eyes wide and asked in confusion: "Hey, last time, I couldn't see my own life span, how come I can see it now?"

Ye Jie smiled and said, "Last time, you were still a ghost, so of course you were not bound by your life span. But this time, you have become a ghost fairy, and you have a genuine fairy body. Your fairy body will age over time, and you will be bound by your life span."

Nan Linghe nodded, with a bit of confusion in his eyes: "I can still live for another thousand years, my life span is very long, it seems there is no need to worry at all."

"A thousand years?" Ren Changhong also looked over, "I can live for 2,600 years."

Everyone suddenly became interested. They were curious about the extra life span after becoming ghost fairies, so they started discussing it. Some said they had a life span of 3,000 years, while others said they only had a life span of 700 years.

As they spoke, everyone turned their attention to Ye Jie, as if they had not yet heard him talk about his own life span.

Hua Xiaomei patted his arm and joked, "We were talking so enthusiastically, why didn't you say a word? Is it because you are too young to speak?"

Ye Jie did not hide anything and answered truthfully: "I still have 27,000 years of life left."

Everyone was a little surprised. Compared with their lifespan of about one or two thousand years, Ye Jie's remaining lifespan was much longer than theirs, ten times as much.

Nan Linghe asked curiously: "Brother Jie, why do you have so much life span?"

Ye Jie pondered for a moment and had the answer in his mind: "Because my realm is higher than yours, I have reached the early stage of the third transformation. The life span of an immortal will continue to increase with the improvement of the realm. In addition, the Sleeping Dragon in the Abyss in the Divine Dragon Transformation and the Contemplation of Infinite Life in the Bodhi Heart Method can all bring about the effect of prolonging life."

Everyone understood, but Xie Xinyu still looked incredulous: "Even if life span increases with realm, this is too much, isn't it?"

Hua Xiaomei also muttered, "Twenty-seven thousand years... Doesn't that mean I've been dead for ten thousand years? Are you still alive?"

Su Miao glanced at her and said bluntly, "First, survive the immortal tribulation. Do you think every immortal can live to the end of their life span? If you can't survive the immortal tribulation, it's useless to live ten thousand years."

Hua Xiaomei was silent. Now, with the help of the Divine Fire Pill, everyone's realm has reached the peak of the first level. The arrival of the first level of immortal calamity is already imminent. Only by overcoming the immortal calamity can everyone's strength have the possibility of further improvement.

However, how easy is it to survive the immortal tribulation? Countless immortals with extraordinary talents and outstanding qualifications have fallen under the thunder tribulation that symbolizes the wrath of heaven.

Xie Xinyu had a worried look on her face: "We all became immortals by relying on the Conferred God List. We have realms but our strength is quite superficial. We can't compare with those true immortals who have practiced hard for hundreds of years. Even they are in awe of the immortal tribulation. What should we do?"

Her words immediately aroused everyone's worries, and there were constant groans for a while.

As if seeing everyone's worries, Ye Jie said slowly:
"Don't worry. If you really can't make it through the Immortal Tribulation, let me modify the files. By modifying the files to break through, you won't be bombarded by the Immortal Tribulation, nor will you be detected by the Heavenly Dao. It's quite safe."

Ye Jie's words also gave everyone a reassurance. With his example in front of them, everyone was undoubtedly relieved. Even the method of future promotion had been settled.

On the side, Yao Yin also heard the conversation of the crowd, and one of them pondered: "Immortal Tribulation? If it can be used... what a pity."

Su Miao noticed the change in her expression and couldn't help but move closer to her and asked curiously:

"Sister Yaoyin, what were you talking about just now? Do you have any special opinions about this immortal calamity? Why don't you tell us and share with us."

Yao Yin returned to his usual laziness and said casually, "The so-called Immortal Tribulation is also the manifestation of the power of thunder. If someone can completely control thunder, they may not be threatened by the Immortal Tribulation. On the contrary, they can even use the power of the Immortal Tribulation for their own benefit. If you use the Immortal Tribulation to refine pills, you will definitely be able to refine immortal pills with extraordinary effects."

"This……"

Hearing this, not only Su Miao was surprised, but Ye Jie was also surprised and asked:
"Fairy Yaoyin, you are joking. The power of the immortal calamity is greater than that of all living beings. How can it be controlled by ordinary people? Even if we let E'er, who is good at lightning spells, come, I am afraid he can't do this."

Yao Yin glanced at him and said, "Just because E'er can't do it doesn't mean that others can't. As far as I know, the goddess Xuannv who controls the way of thunder punishment can do it. All the thousands of immortal calamities obey her orders. If she were here, it would be a piece of cake for her to help you dispel the immortal calamity."

Ye Jie took a deep breath. What Yao Yin said was indeed true. Thinking of the terrifying power of Xuannv's incarnation that day, the entire continent was turned into a death zone by the world-destroying thunder tribulation. Controlling the immortal tribulation was just a piece of cake.

After a pause, Yao Yin continued, "In the Xuannv Sect, there are still true techniques left by the Xuannv Goddess. As long as you can learn them, you can control all the thunder in the world, and controlling the immortal calamity is no problem."

Hearing this, Ren Changhong also felt a little curious. She was also a descendant of Xuannv, but she had never heard of such a thing: "Is there really such a skill? How come I don't know about it?"

Yao Yin shook her head: "The true law of the goddess Xuannv is not something that ordinary descendants are qualified to practice. Not to mention you, many ancestors who are dozens of generations older than you have never heard of the name of that true law. The content of the law has long been forgotten in the long river of time along with its name, and has become a legend revered by the world."

Ye Jie raised his eyebrows: "If that's the case, then how did you know?" Yao Yin glanced at him and said: "I just happened to hear the name of the true law from Taiyin Patriarch, it's called the Supreme Nine Heavens Mysterious True Thunder Control Treasure Mirror. The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder that E'er practiced is just one of the derived techniques from it."

Ye Jie understood. He never thought that the Xuannv Sect actually had such a peerless magical skill.

After some casual chat, the Tianji continued to move forward. With sufficient supply of high-quality spirit stones, the speed of the Tianji was increased to the limit. A thousand miles passed in a flash, and the surrounding scenery became blurred.

Soon, as the speed of the Tianji slowed down, a city in the distance appeared in front of Ye Jie.

"The Red Scale City is ahead. The elder of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave who bought the Netherworld Soil is here. I just hope that this trip will yield some results."

Ye Jie looked into the distance, feeling a little emotional.

The landing of the magical vehicle, especially the conspicuous Tianji, immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the city.

Faced with the weak guards, Ye Jie did not want to embarrass them. After explaining his purpose, he was respectfully invited into the vast immortal palace in the city and met Elder Mo Wen, the lord of the palace.

The old man Mo Wen lived up to his name, with conspicuous tattoos all over his body, and half of his face covered in pitch-black ink. Looking closely, on the top of his bald head, there was a tattoo of a venomous snake with its bloody mouth wide open. Even in a crowd, he was quite eye-catching, and one could tell at a glance that he was not someone to be trifled with.

Upon seeing Ye Jie, Elder Mo Wen was very enthusiastic and took the initiative to speak: "You are such a distinguished guest. Please forgive me for not welcoming you from afar. I didn't expect that my Red Scale City would be so lively today. We just said goodbye to the distinguished guest from the Beast Shape Hall, and now we have another one, and it is the Lord of Yama Hall who has come in person."

Ye Jie clasped his fists, exchanged some pleasantries, and finally got to the point:
"I heard that Elder Mo Wen just bought the Netherworld Soil from the Netherworld Palace. This item is very useful to me. I wonder if Elder can bear the pain and give it to me. The price is negotiable."

Elder Mo Wen smiled and said, "Of course that's easy to say. I bought the Netherworld Soil just to complete a formation ritual. Now that the ritual is complete, the remaining part is of no use. Since the Purple Wei Palace Master wants it, it's no problem to sell it to you."

At the warm invitation of Elder Mo Wen, Ye Jie also came to the front hall of the mansion. While waiting, the disciples in the mansion also brought him brewed tea.

"Come, Master Ziwei, have a taste of this superior Wangchuanyin. This is a specialty of the Nether Spirit Palace. You can't get it in ordinary places. Just a pot of this will cost you 100 high-quality spirit stones."

Ye Jie raised the cup and took a sip. As the tea entered his mouth, the bitter taste spread, causing him to frown.

After the bitterness, a light sweetness comes out, which makes people indulge in it unconsciously.

In this taste of bitterness and sweetness, Ye Jie seemed to penetrate time and saw all the experiences of the past. The beauty and bitterness, the unforgettable and the unbearable to look back on, were all transformed into the unique taste of Wangchuanyin.

When the tea aroma faded, Ye Jie smacked his lips, still savoring the taste.

Using the Wangchuan River to entertain distinguished guests is really not a loss of status. If I had known this earlier, I would have bought some from the Nether Palace before.

After waiting for a while, the disciple in the mansion brought over a wooden box with an ancient texture and a chilling aura.

Through the wooden box, Ye Jie also saw the ochre-red soil stored inside. The seemingly ordinary cracked soil actually held a secret. The surface was constantly wriggling at a rate that was imperceptible to ordinary people, as if it were alive.

Seeing this, Elder Mo Wen introduced: "This Netherworld Soil is a rare wonder in the world. As long as it meets water, it will turn into a huge mountain. In addition, it is also constantly growing. If it is stored in an ordinary container, it will be completely burst in a short time. Only the special Beichen Condensing Ice Box can slow down its growth."

After a pause, Elder Mo Wen continued, "Since the Purple Star Palace Master likes this item, as long as you can afford the price, I will give you the North Star Ice Box as a bonus for this transaction."

Seeing that the deal was going to happen, Ye Jie asked with a smile, "I wonder what price Elder Mo Wen is going to offer for this Netherworld Soil?"

Elder Mo Wen had already considered this: "According to the rules of the immortal sect's transactions, there is no need to use spirit stones or anything like that. Only by bartering and getting what we need can we reach a transaction that satisfies both parties."

Ye Jie nodded. This made sense. "Since it's a barter, I wonder what Elder Mo Wen is interested in? If I have it, I would definitely be willing to exchange it."

Elder Mo Wen's expression slowly calmed down. His previous eagerness disappeared, and was replaced by a somewhat uncertain look:
"Not long ago, an operation in the Ten Thousand Snake Cave was hindered by others and ended in failure. The things that the sect urgently needs have not been obtained so far. If you want this Netherworld Soil, you have to exchange it with the Golden Silk Phoebe King."

Hearing this, Ye Jie's eyes flickered. It seemed that what happened in the Tianji Sect before had also been heard by other elders in the Ten Thousand Snake Cave. It turned out that it was not that easy to obtain the Netherworld Soil.

Seeing Ye Jie was hesitant to speak, Elder Mo Wen urged, "What's wrong? Could it be that the Purple Star Palace Master doesn't want to exchange?"

Ye Jie shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to, but this golden nanmu king is not mine, it belongs to the Tianji Sect, and I have no right to use it."

"Of course you can. The disciples have already gathered all the information about the place. If you hadn't stepped forward to protect the Tianji Sect, it would have ceased to exist long ago. If you want the Golden Phoebe King, with your strength, how dare the people there refuse?" Elder Mo Wen said in a deep voice.

Ye Jie simply replied: "Without the Golden Silk Phoebe King, the Tianji Sect will surely decline. The people there trust me so much, how can I betray them? Elder Mo Wen, please change your request."

Elder Mo Wen said in a cold voice: "The strong prey on the weak, this is the truth of the cultivation world. As the Lord of Yama Palace, why should you care about the feelings of those weaklings who can never catch up with you in ten lifetimes? If you want something, just go and get it! Why would a golden nanmu king restrict you? If it really doesn't work, as long as you agree to stand by and watch, ignore what's going on there, and wait for the immortals from the Ten Thousand Snake Cave to bring back the golden nanmu king, this underworld soil will still be yours."

Ye Jie shook his head slowly, his eyes firm: "To do this is no different from deceiving oneself. My apprentice taught me a truth, that is, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. I'm sorry I can't agree to this!"

"pity……"

Elder Mo Wen sighed, and a deep resentment suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Ok?"

Ye Jie, who was sitting on a chair, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. It felt like a sharp knife was constantly stirring. The pain was so severe that he was not aware of it for a moment and cold sweat broke out on his head.
