Hell Emperor.

Chapter 528 Ye Jie - Seal of the Dark Emperor
Qingdi City.

After sending off the two gods of wealth, Ye Jie was also delighted with the big gold ingot in his hand.

"With the big gold ingot, the prerequisite for job change is also met. It's time to be promoted to the position of Immortal Official and enter a higher realm!"

The moment of promotion finally arrived, and Ye Jie felt an indelible joy in his heart.

After changing his job to Liu Ding Liu Jia, Ye Jie's realm reached the peak of the third transformation, and he was only one step away from entering the fourth transformation realm.

Although the distance between the peak of the third turn and the fourth turn sounds very close, this close distance is like a deep chasm that has blocked countless talented immortals.

Among the nine transformations of the immortal, the span of strength between the third transformation to the fourth transformation and the sixth transformation to the seventh transformation is much greater than that of the other transformations, and the difference in strength is also huge. As long as he enters the fourth transformation, Ye Jie's strength will also usher in a complete transformation.

Ye Jie calmed himself down and took out the eight-sided stitched page from his arms. The flying and phoenix-like ink marks appeared on it again.

[Bookkeeping of life and death:]

[In the spring of the 640th year of the Moro calendar, Ye Jie spent a large gold ingot to modify the rank file]

[The peak of the third level of Six Dings and Six Jias has been changed to the initial stage of the fourth level of Li Shi Xian Guan. 】

[The powers of the Six Ding and Six Jia immortal officials have been inherited. 】

[The quality of the big gold ingot exceeds the minimum promotion requirements, and the power of the immortal official has been unlocked. ]

[Profitable Immortal Official: Three rivers gather treasures, five roads attract silver. When trading with merchants, you do not need to pay any taxes. All merchants will actively sell you hidden rare goods, and the success rate of bargaining is greatly improved. When you receive fatal damage, you can disperse all your merits and hidden virtues to break your wealth and avoid disasters. Each time you activate the break your wealth and avoid disasters, you need at least 10,000 merits or 1 billion hidden virtues, and you can activate it up to three times a day. After unlocking the other powers of the God of Wealth, you will get additional effects.]

As the words on the stitched page fell, Ye Jie's eyes brightened, and the energy around him surged. The immortal energy condensed into substance rushed out from his limbs and bones, making his robes rustle.

The moment the big gold ingot disappeared, Ye Jie's realm rose, and now he has reached the early stage of the fourth turn!

Among the nine transformations of immortals, the third transformation to the fourth transformation, and the sixth transformation to the seventh transformation are all extremely obvious watersheds. Today, Ye Jie is no longer an immortal of the lower third transformation, but an immortal of the middle third transformation. In the outside world, he is considered the founder of a school, and his name is enough to spread far and wide.

"Thinking back to the time when I parted with you, we had just become immortals. Now, less than a few months have passed. With the help of the Book of Life and Death, my realm has advanced by leaps and bounds, and now I have even entered the fourth level!"

As if he remembered something, there was a hint of reminiscence and emotion in Ye Jie's eyes. In the past, he would never have imagined that one day he would be able to possess the power of an immortal king.

"Although Xiaowei is the reincarnation of Xuannv, how can hard training be as fast as directly modifying the files? I think with my current realm, I have left Xiaowei far behind. I wonder how surprised she will be when she sees me..."

As he was expressing his emotion, Ye Jie's gaze also fell on the eight-sided stitched page in his hand.

The Book of Life and Death is worthy of the name of a first-grade divine artifact. It not only records the archives of all living beings, but more importantly, as long as the contents of the archives are rewritten, they will come true in the real world. Ye Jie's strength comes from this.

However, the power of the eight-sided stitched pages is limited. According to legend, only the Emperor of the Underworld is qualified to wield the complete Book of Life and Death. If he wants to reproduce the true power of the first-grade artifact from the past, there are still the last two main ledgers waiting for him to collect.

Retracting his gaze, Ye Jie's attention also fell on the description of the immortal official's power.

As one of the gods of wealth, the Immortal Officer of Profit is good at business and trade, and his powers are also related to it. Whether it is a merchant selling hidden goods or increasing the success rate of bargaining, it is a very practical ability.

In addition, there is a life-saving ability within the power, called losing money to avoid disaster. Although it will deplete one's merits and virtues, compared to preserving one's life, everything is acceptable.

What concerned Ye Jie the most was not these effects, but the last paragraph of text. He discovered that the power of the Li Shi Immortal Official was very different from the power of the Immortal Official he had obtained before.

"Unlocking the powers of other gods of wealth will bring additional effects? I remember there are five gods of wealth, and the Immortal Officer of Profit is just one of them. If I can transfer to other gods of wealth, the power of the Immortal Officer of Profit will definitely become stronger!"

Thinking of this, Ye Jie's eyes lit up. The positions of immortal officials are not unrelated. As they are all gods of wealth, their powers can be applied to each other and produce different miraculous effects.

As Ye Jie's mind moved, the words on the stitched page reappeared:

[The positions that can be promoted to Immortal Officials are as follows:]

[Four-valued Gongcao: The Great Dao is invisible, but Gongcao has a presence. The lowest rank is limited to the middle stage of the fourth revolution, and promotion requires one thousand and four revolution merits or four Gongcao documents.]

[Cangming Fishing Saint: Fishing in the cold river, a basket of big fish. The lowest rank is limited to the late fourth revolution, and the required promotion is 5,000 fourth revolution merits or a basket of fish. ]

[Yan Luo Palace Master: Unavailable.]

His eyes fell on one of the items, and Ye Jie couldn't help scratching his head: "Yan Luo Palace Master? Am I not the Yan Luo Palace Master?"

What made Ye Jie helpless was that in the immortal official atlas of the Conferred God List, all positions related to the underworld were not available. Even if he was actually the master of Ziwei Palace, he could not be recognized by the Conferred God List.

According to Su Miao, this seems to be related to the Emperor of the Underworld. The Emperor of the Underworld made the Underworld independent from the Heavenly Court, and all the positions related to it were abolished by the Heavenly Court, which really distressed Ye Jie.

"I can't be promoted to Yama Palace Master? It seems that I have to jump directly from the late fourth transformation to the early fifth transformation. If I lose one immortal official power, it will have some impact on my future strength."

All the way to this point, the power of the immortal officials has left a deep impression on Ye Jie. Each power is a unique blessing from the heaven, a magical effect that is difficult to achieve by any other practice, involving all aspects.

With the help of the Book of Life and Death, Ye Jie can retain all the powers of an immortal official. The powers are accumulated all the way, and the final power is earth-shattering. Taking less power once is a major loss.

Just as Ye Jie was feeling regretful, he suddenly remembered something and his pupils shrank:

"Wait... Since the Book of Life and Death can modify the files of all living beings, can I directly modify the Immortal Official Atlas and replace the unpromotable Yama Palace Master with another type of promotable Immortal Official?"

This thought immediately occupied Ye Jie's entire mind. After all, the atlas of immortal officials provided by the List of Gods was just a written record. With the power of the Book of Life and Death to modify the archives, maybe it could really be done!
As if sensing Ye Jie's intention, dark ink began to appear on the Book of Life and Death:
[To modify the Immortal Official Atlas, you need the Seal of the Underworld Emperor. 】

[Without the Seal of the Dark Emperor, the Immortal Official Atlas cannot be modified. 】

Looking at the records above, Ye Jie felt mixed emotions.

The good news is that the Immortal Official Atlas is indeed the same as other files, and can be modified through the Book of Life and Death. The worry is, what kind of treasure is this Seal of the Underworld Emperor? And where can I get it?
Thinking to no avail, just as Ye Jie was frowning, his companions also felt the movement of his promotion and came forward to congratulate him. "Early stage of the fourth transformation... Didn't Brother Jie just advance to the peak of the third transformation during the battle? It's only been a short time, how come he has broken through again?" Hua Xiaomei exclaimed in disbelief, is it really so easy to break through to the immortal realm?
Ren Changhong looked at Ye Jie's body and said in surprise: "Could this auspicious light also be a benefit brought by the power of the immortal official? I have never seen such auspicious aura on a ghost, it's just like..."

After a pause, Ren Changhong finally found a suitable description: "It's just like the God of Wealth."

"It's not enough..." Unlike everyone else who was congratulating him, Yao Yin stared at Ye Jie, thinking of something, shook his head, and sighed softly.

Ye Jie listened to everyone's words, responded to them one by one, and then asked, "By the way, have you ever heard of the Seal of the Underworld Emperor?"

Su Miao frowned: "The Seal of the Underworld Emperor? It sounds like something left behind by the Underworld Emperor. What do you want it for?"

Ye Jie did not hide it: "I encountered difficulties in my promotion to the Immortal Rank, and the Seal of the Underworld Emperor can help me."

Everyone looked at each other, and saw the confusion in each other's eyes, not understanding what it was.

When everyone was speechless, Yao Yin took the initiative to speak and explained Ye Jie's doubts:

"The Seal of the Underworld Emperor is the jade seal held by the Underworld Emperor, and it is also the proof that he is the Underworld Emperor. According to legend, all the documents and records left by the Underworld Emperor are stamped with the seal of the Underworld Emperor."

"I see……"

Ye Jie nodded, and then listened to Yao Yin's words: "Regarding the acquisition of Yin De and the innate magical powers obtained in the next life, they were all set by the Underworld Emperor. If anyone can get the Seal of the Underworld Emperor and cooperate with the main account of the Book of Life and Death, even the basic rules of reincarnation can be changed at will, and it is not an empty talk to let the world return to the original reincarnation of cause and effect."

After learning that the Seal of the Underworld Emperor had such a great origin, Ye Jie was also puzzled: "I never thought that the Seal of the Underworld Emperor would be such a precious item. Where can I get it?"

Shen Qingge pondered and said, "Ah Jie, do you still remember what I told you about the information about Bei Ming?"

Ye Jie nodded: "Of course I remember. You said that place was once called the Northern Underworld. It was the place where the Underworld Emperor attained enlightenment. There may still be relics related to it. Could it be..."

At this point, Ye Jie's tone trembled, and a few guesses flashed through his mind, and Shen Qingge nodded and said: "The seal of the Hades Emperor you are looking for may be there. Of course, I am just guessing, I dare not guarantee anything. Beiming is the place where the Hades Emperor became enlightened, I think there must be some mystery."

"Guess? Maybe I have a way to find the exact location of the Hades' Seal!"

As if remembering something, Ye Jie's eyes lit up.

Finding ancient artifacts lost in the long river of time may be a problem that others may be at a loss for, but it does not pose a problem for Ye Jie at all. He knows someone who can perfectly solve his problem.

Stepping into the picture scroll of the Qionglou Tower, Ye Jie also found the Nanlinghe resting in the wing room at the back of the wine village.

In the side room, Nan Linghe puffed his lips and looked unhappy. Even when Ye Jie came, he didn't react at all. He was immersed in his own world. Seeing this, Ye Jie was also a little surprised: "What's wrong? Why do you look so depressed?"

"I lost……"

Nan Linghe pouted and grabbed Ye Jie's arm, looking like she was going to complain to him.

"Lost? What did you lose?" Ye Jie was puzzled.

"It's just a guessing game... I lost to the red veil."

Nan Linghe bit her nails, feeling upset about this matter.

"really?"

Ye Jie was a little surprised. Logically speaking, Nan Linghe had natural supernatural powers and was extremely lucky. In addition, he had learned telepathy and could even read minds. However, he lost to Hong Haitou in the number guessing game. It was strange no matter how one thought about it.

After thinking about it carefully, Ye Jie was relieved: "Red Veil is a thousand-year-old evil spirit. She feeds on the most precious memories in people's hearts. It is her instinct to peek into people's hearts. When I first met her, she peeked at the person I cherished most in my heart and turned into that person. It is not unfair for me to lose to her..."

Nan Linghe's face was flushed. She turned her head to the side, and her eyes were like a shy spring breeze, gently brushing past Ye Jie, and then quickly dodging away:
"I, I know..."

Speaking of Red Veil, Ye Jie seemed to remember something: "I heard from the witch Ina before that Red Veil is the wife of the Hades Emperor. She must know all kinds of information about the Hades Emperor. If we want to find the Seal of the Hades Emperor, we may need her help. It's a pity that she can't speak, so we can't ask her, otherwise it would be much easier..."

As he spoke, Ye Jie's gaze also fell on Nan Linghe: "Since Hong Haitou can't help me, I can only rely on you. Are you willing to help me find the Seal of the Underworld Emperor?"

Their eyes met, and Nan Linghe quickly turned her head, but couldn't help wanting to take another look. Her long hair gently covered half of her face, making her look even more beautiful and charming: "Of course I am willing... What should I do?"

Soon, Su Miao took out the prepared map of Uttarakuru.

Ye Jie spread out the map. All the rivers, mountains and plains were marked on it. Even a deserted path had a clear mark. Such a complete map was the result of many years of hard work by the ghost of the Netherworld Palace.

He rubbed his hands together, and black mist rose from his palms. Ye Jie placed his palms in front of Nan Linghe's eyes, blocking her vision with the mist. He then lifted up her fair arm, lightly tapped cinnabar on his fingertips, and whispered in her ear, "Guide the way forward for me."

Every bit of the past lingered in Nan Linghe's mind. At that time, the two were not yet ghost fairies, but ghost messengers who were in danger of losing their lives every day. It was like this that they formed an indissoluble bond.

In the darkness, Nan Linghe was not alone, she knew Ye Jie was beside her. She subconsciously stretched out her hand and pointed casually, and the cinnabar on her fingertips was also imprinted on the map.

"That's where..." Ye Jie took a deep breath.

"Sure enough, it's in Beiming!"

Shen Qingge also came over after hearing the news. After confirming the cinnabar seal on the map, a hint of worry flashed through his mind.

Su Miao glanced at Shen Qingge and sighed, "According to the punishment given to you by the Grandmaster, I should have sent you to Beiming immediately to suffer loneliness, but I was entangled in various trivial matters along the way and have been delayed for a long time. This is the Grandmaster's will, and I am powerless to change it. When you go to Beiming, don't worry about me."

Shen Qingge's body trembled, as if he had lost his strength, and finally cupped his hands: "Qingge understands."
