My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 424: King of the Underworld
Jiang Xinghuo counted a few things and the only thing left was the autobiography of the Fangtooth Fairy, so he simply opened it and took a look.

"You read the autobiography of the Fangtooth Fairy. This book was written by it when it was bored. It records what happened to it, but most of the content is about what it ate today or what delicious food will be tomorrow."

"But you still found some useful clues from it, such as why the Fangtooth Fairy came to the Volcano Prison."

"According to the Fangtooth Fairy's records in the book, the main reason why it came to the Volcano Hell was for its master."

"Ever since the Martial Lord mysteriously disappeared, these disciples have started wandering around the secular world in search of the Martial Lord's whereabouts."

"The Fang-Tooth Fairy searched for many years in the secular world but did not find any useful clues. Later, it heard that the Martial Lord had appeared in the underworld, so it broke into the underworld on its own."

"The Fang-Tooth Fairy has been tracking down the matter in the underworld for a long time. Not long ago, he learned from a Feng Shui master that Lord Wu almost became the Lord of the Volcano Hell."

"So, Fangtooth Fairy also came to the Volcano Hell. In fact, it had no intention of becoming the master of the Volcano Hell. The most important thing for it was to find the whereabouts of the Martial Lord."

"But who would have thought that it would meet the Fire Dragon Gu Master as soon as it arrived here, and the two of them started fighting after a disagreement."

"Although the Fire Dragon Gu Master is no match for the Fanged Fairy, the Fire Dragon Gu he raises is very difficult to deal with. The two have been fighting for several months, but there is no clear winner."

"The Fang Fairy knew that he would not have a good ending. The best outcome would be to perish together with the Fire Dragon Gu Master."

"So it recorded the whole story in a book, hoping that one day it could be discovered by its fellow apprentices."

"In addition, the Fangtooth Fairy also recorded one thing in its autobiography, which is about the identity of the Feng Shui master."

"The Fang Fairy suspected that the other party deliberately instigated it to come to the Volcano Prison. Although it did not know what its purpose was, it could sense that the person had bad intentions and was definitely not a good person, so it reminded those who saw the notes to be careful."

The game text ends here.

After watching it, Jiang Xinghuo felt quite sad. He was so used to seeing the intrigues and deceptions in the secular world that it was still quite touching to see such a plot occasionally.

I think that Lord Wu treats his disciples with genuine devotion instead of just exploiting and demanding things from them.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Fangtooth Fairy to go to the underworld alone just to track down clues of his whereabouts.

After sorting out all the things, Jiang Xinghuo put them into the magic bag, then controlled the game character and came to the inconspicuous cave.

"You found the hiding place of the origin of the volcanic hell based on the map left by the martial master."

"Do you want to enter this cave and explore?"

Two options, yes or no.

Jiang Xinghuo didn’t think too much about it. Since he had already come here, he had no reason to retreat.

Besides, his situation is different from that of the Martial Lord. Using the power of faith to establish a landmark is the most suitable method for him and also the method with the highest success rate.

The remaining methods either had too harsh conditions or reality did not allow him to do so.

"You chose to enter the cave and explore."

"You leap into the cave, and a long and narrow passage appears in front of you. Rolling heat waves, like a tsunami, sweep towards you from the end of the passage."

"Your skin quickly dehydrated and cracked, but luckily with the power of the dead tree and the nine dead cicadas, you were able to withstand the invasion of this heat wave."

"Are you still determined to go deeper?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose to continue.

He still said the same thing, he had already come this far, how could he choose to retreat and leave.

"You endured the surging scorching heat and went deeper into the narrow passage. Although the water in your body was rapidly lost, you still withstood the invasion of the heat wave."

"You come to the end of the corridor. A golden fire filled with tyrannical aura floats in the empty air, like a lotus, blooming and slowly opening."

“Around the lotus fire, there are a lot of dry bones and remains, all of which are strong people who were burned to death by the flames.

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"You have discovered the origin of the fire of the volcanic hell."

"This lotus fire seed is the original power of the Volcano Hell. It appeared in this hell when the underworld was born. Some people have obtained this original fire seed before, but in the end, they were either burned to death by the scorching flames when fusing the fire seeds, or died in the conquest of the Lord of Hell."

"The Lord of Hell, also known as the King of the Underworld in the underworld, is a powerful being who rules and opens up a part of hell. However, whether you can persist and make it common sense in the hearts of all living beings in the world of the living depends on whether you can withstand the attacks of other Lords of Hell. Only those who persist to the end are qualified to be called the King of the Underworld."

"Do you want to try to fuse the original fire of the volcanic hell?"

"Be careful. The original fire of the volcanic hell is the most blazing flame in the underworld. There were disciples of the Kitchen God who wanted to use the fire gathering method to fuse the fire, but in the end they all turned into dry bones and charred corpses."

"If you want to fuse the original fire of the volcanic hell, then you must be prepared for the possibility of fusion failure."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the information in the text and let out a long sigh. This was the last step so far. As long as he could successfully fuse the original fire, he could nominally become the master of the volcanic hell, the so-called King of the Underworld.

As for what challenges he would face after becoming the King of the Underworld, Jiang Xinghuo didn't take it too seriously.

"You walked closer and swallowed the original fire into your stomach. The destructive force filled with tyrannical aura quickly spread throughout your body. In just a moment, the flames completely enveloped your body."

"The fire is fusing..."

"Please wait……"

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the content displayed on the phone and his heart began to beat rapidly.

This is the most critical step in establishing the beacon. As long as you can successfully integrate this fire, the establishment of the beacon will be half successful.

"The fusion of the fire seeds failed..."

"Your body was burned to ashes by the violent flames..."

"You are dead."

Looking at the glaring bright red fonts on the screen, Jiang Xinghuo's heart sank, but he also breathed a sigh of relief.

This result was not beyond his expectations, so he was not particularly disappointed.

It's just starting over again.

do not forget,
He comes from the cursed race of exiles.

This identity is the biggest difference between him and others. He can completely rely on the continuous accumulation of deaths to adapt to this original fire and integrate it.

To ensure the success rate.

Jiang Xinghuo went to the niche shop on purpose and bought a lot of raw materials, and also made a lot of dry food for dog fighting.

He just didn't believe that he couldn't conquer the little volcanic hell.

It's over if you act recklessly!!
"You have successfully resurrected in the tunnel. Do you want to fuse the origin fire immediately?"

"The fire is fusing..."

"Please wait..." "Spark fusion failed..."

"Your body is burned to ashes by the violent flames..."

"You are dead."

"..."

"You are resurrected again..."

"..."

"The fire is fusing..."

"..."

"You are dead."

"..."

"You are resurrected again..."

"..."

"The fusion of the sparks failed... you are dead."

Jiang Xinghuo also patiently endured it slowly. When he died, he would resurrect and start over again, repeating the process of failing, being burned to death, and then resurrecting again.

"The fusion of the fire seeds failed..."

"You are dead..."

"You have triggered the power of the Golden Law."

When Jiang Xinghuo thought he was going to die again, the game text of death was suddenly interrupted and replaced by a prompt that triggered the Golden Law.

This is obviously a game text that was not originally in the plot, but new changes occurred because he possessed the Golden Law in his body.

"Your number of deaths suddenly increased dramatically in a short period of time, awakening the power of the Golden Law. Although the original fire of the volcanic hell is violent, it becomes very quiet in front of the supreme Golden Law."

"Not only is there no trace of violent aura coming from it, but it is actively merging with you."

"The fire is fusing..."

"The original fire of the volcanic prison is repairing your body, please wait..."

The moment the game text flashed by, Jiang Xinghuo in reality also felt the change. A burning breath suddenly rose from his heart, and then expanded along the meridians and acupuncture points from the chest to all parts of his limbs.

Finally, after traveling around the body, the heat gathered on the horizontal eye between the eyebrows, forming a mark of red flame like a fire lotus.

At the same time, a prompt message came from the game.

"The fusion of the fire seeds was successful."

"You have merged the original power of the volcanic hell. All the creatures in the hell can feel your presence and are kneeling to welcome the return of their new king."

"You have become the Lord of Volcanic Hell."

“This news will spread to every corner of the underworld within three days. The kings of the underworld who have been enlightened for many years, the high and mighty Lords of the Underworld, and the unknown beings sleeping in the underworld will all know that the Volcano Hell has welcomed a new master.”

"But you will also have to face attacks from other Lords of Hell. They will challenge you to a kingly battle."

"As long as someone can defeat you three times in a row in a fair duel, you will fall from your position as the King of the Underworld."

"Although you still mastered the origin of the volcanic hell at that time, you could not control the operating mechanism of the volcanic hell."

"Pay attention, you have now become the master of Volcano Hell. You can use the power of Volcano Hell at any time, even in different spaces. This is your power and authority as the master of Hell."

"So, you can use the power of the volcanic hell to create a set of instruments to suppress the hell. It can be used as a symbol of the legend of the volcanic hell, or as a magical tool to attack the enemy."

"Please select the weapon you want to forge."

The game text gave several options. Jiang Xinghuo took a quick look at the options and felt that there was no magical weapon that suited his taste.

It could be either a bronze tripod, a volcano, or a fire pool, a fire pit, or something like that.

The game text seemed to sense Jiang Xinghuo's intentions, and a new text message popped up.

"You can choose to forge the magic weapon yourself. Once the forging is completed, as long as you take it to the Volcano Hell, the King of the Underworld will give the order, and the magic weapon can be transformed into a hell-suppressing weapon."

Jiang Xinghuo's eyes lit up. This would make things easier. Professional matters could be left to professionals.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo activated the Shen Ji Order in his hand and wanted to teleport to the blacksmith shop of Shen Ji Bai Lian Taoist. However, the game text prompted that the service area had been exceeded and the Shen Ji Order could not be used temporarily.

Only then did he realize that the game character was still in the underworld, so it was reasonable that he could not use the Divine Machine Order.

After all, there is a difference between life and death, and the two worlds of yin and yang are not connected to each other. He can enter the underworld freely because of the power of the Yin Talisman and his own strength.

Even if ordinary people obtain the talisman, they cannot stay in the underworld for a long time, and those horrible underworld creatures can take their lives.

"You have become the king of the underworld of Volcano Hell. Please find the exact location for building the entrance to Volcano Hell. That will be the path for the ghost messengers to send the dead souls in and out of Volcano Hell in the future. It can also prevent other dead souls from sneaking into Volcano Hell."

Jiang Xinghuo was looking at this game text when he felt his phone suddenly vibrate.

A three-dimensional image pops up, which can be zoomed in and out, and also rotated for a closer look.

Jiang Xinghuo carefully looked at the layout of the Volcanic Hell, and finally set up the entrance to the Volcanic Hell on the black volcano in the northeast corner.

A ghost gate phantom immediately appeared on the mountain. If anyone wanted to enter the volcanic hell in the future, they had to pass through this ghost gate. All other entrances had been completely blocked.

As long as Jiang Xinghuo is still the master of the Volcano Hell, this rule cannot be tampered with by others, not even those in charge, unless the other party masters the Golden Law.

Of course, the current volcanic hell is just a rough prototype. Jiang Xinghuo still has to give this hell a series of rules, just like playing a strategy development game. Everything has to be re-established by him.

"Are you leaving the volcanic hell?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes.

"You left the Volcano Hell, and before you left, you sealed the Ghost Gate of the Volcano Hell. No one is allowed to enter or leave from here."

"You woke up next to the shrine in Dragon City."

"The sun rises from the east, and the world welcomes another day full of hope. Unfortunately, it was a little cold last night, and a few more ragged, stiff corpses appeared in the pit under the city wall."

"You activated the Divine Machine Token and were transported to the blacksmith shop of Taoist Master Bailian of the Divine Machine."

"You have reached the blacksmith's shop."
