Chapter 485 Three Questions from the Underworld
The silence lasted for about two minutes, and then Xia Wuyou spoke.

"Does the Underworld mean that the Yaksha has no connection to the Underworld?"

"Of course, if the underworld wants to do something in the mortal world, our Xia family can actually help."

Xia Wuyou pointed this out directly.

Xia Wuyou's words startled Chen Xin.

Chen Xin hadn't realized it before, but now that Xia Wuyou had said those words, he understood.

Is Xia Wuyou trying to give the Underworld some face?
Why should we give face to the underworld?
Chen Xin pondered.

"Could it be that they are afraid of the underworld?"

"No, if it's because they're afraid of the underworld, then they shouldn't compromise on this matter."

"What on earth is that for?"

Chen Xin's prolonged silence left Xia Wuyou somewhat puzzled.

Does the underworld not want to intervene in the mortal world?
If you don't want to, why send yakshas to patrol the mortal world?

But if you think about it, he's already been so direct, so why is the other person still hesitating? What is he hesitating about?
Xia Wuyou also fell into deep thought.

At one moment, Chen Xin and Xia Wuyou had the same thought at the same time.

Does the other party need something from me?
Immediately, the two looked at each other again.

Although they had considered this possibility, neither of them wanted to be the first to speak up.

But if they don't speak up, how can the subsequent transactions proceed?

In the end, Xia Wuyou was the one who compromised first.

After all, having that palanquin would accelerate their understanding of the Kingdom of God and also speed up the creation of the Kingdom of God.

What will the underworld be then?
After thinking about this, Xia Wuyou spoke up.

"We'll discuss the Yaksha Society later. I wonder if the Underworld is interested in making a deal with us?"

Chen Xin thought to himself, "Just as I suspected."

"Tell me."

Xia Wuyou nodded and waved.

The surrounding black and white energies shifted, and an image appeared beside the two.

Chen Xin was startled.

He initially thought it was a live feed, that the Xia family could monitor everything in the mortal world, but then he realized what was going on.

This is a scene from the previous Yin-Yang sedan chair that sent the extra people from the underworld out.

"I wonder if the Yin-Yang sedan chair in the underworld is available for trade?"

"Oh?"

Chen Xin was taken aback. A yin-yang sedan chair?
What do they want this sedan chair for?
It certainly wasn't for transportation. The other party was willing to involve the underworld in the mortal world to propose such a deal, so it was definitely not for momentary pleasure.

But Chen Xin couldn't think of anything else this Yin-Yang sedan chair could do besides transportation and catching little ghosts.

"The sedan chair is worth trading, but what will you use in exchange?"

Xia Wuyou smiled and said, "Perhaps I didn't explain it clearly."

Xia Wuyou paused for a moment.

"The Yin-Yang sedan chair I'm referring to is the original one, the one you took with you after you entered the Netherworld through our place."

Chen Xin understood what Xia Wuyou meant.

Xia Wuyou probably believes that the Yin-Yang sedan chairs that appear in the underworld now are all variations of the original one.

that's the truth.

The problem is, Chen Xin can't do anything about the original Yin-Yang sedan chair now.

Because it's suppressed in the "Complete Book of Suppressing Objects," Chen Xin can't take it out.

The only thing that can be retrieved is the corresponding seal.

Chen Xin looked at Xia Wuyou and shook his head.

"Trading is not possible; the only option is to trade with those sedan chairs resembling the Yin-Yang sedan chairs at the Underworld Post Station."

Xia Wuyou frowned.

"We are willing to offer a price that satisfies the underworld."

When Xia Wuyou said this, he was already prepared to be ripped off.

To his surprise, Chen Xin still shook his head.

"The deal cannot be made."

This made Xia Wuyou frown slightly.

"If the underworld is unwilling, then let's just forget about it."

Xia Wuyou used retreat as a strategy for advancement.

Sure enough, after saying that, Chen Xin spoke.

"That sedan chair cannot be traded. It's not that the underworld is unwilling, but that it cannot be traded. Do you understand now?"

Looking at Chen Xin's face, hidden beneath the sieve of the net.

Xia Wuyou frowned.

"Really not?"

"It's really impossible!"

Xia Wuyou sighed and nodded.

"In that case, let's get a Yin-Yang sedan chair just like the one used at the Underworld Post Station."

Xia Wuyou said, settling for second best.

Perhaps, this kind of sedan chair is also useful?
"Tell me about the requirements of the underworld."

Xia Wuyou said to Chen Xin.

Because the intended purpose of the transaction was not achieved, he was not prepared to reveal any more important information to the underworld during this transaction.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xin pondered his questions for a moment before asking one.

"Have you ever been inside the seventh level of the divine realm that you mentioned?"

Xia Wuyou looked at Chen Xin.

Upon hearing Chen Xin's question, he naturally knew that Chen Xin must have been to the underworld.

"I've been inside."

"So, what exactly is going on inside?"

Xia Wuyou smiled.

"Is this what the underworld requires?"

Chen Xin nodded.

"Just tell me how much the yin-yang sedan chair costs, based on its value."

Upon hearing this, Xia Wuyou nodded and waved his hand again at the Yin and Yang energies around him.

Soon, a region, or rather a 'door', appeared in front of them on the seventh level of the Netherworld.

Do you know why we call this place the Divine Realm?

Before Chen Xin could answer, Xia Wuyou continued.

"Because we went inside and saw a world."

"Upon entering that world, we can only be reborn as non-human creatures such as livestock in that world. Our original power will also disappear, leaving only the power of the livestock itself."

"In addition, when our will is not firm, we will gradually be assimilated and truly treat ourselves as livestock."

When Chen Xin heard this, he also thought of the first time he went in, when he almost felt like he was being treated like a donkey.

However, after breaking free, that feeling never returned.

Do you know how we obtained this intelligence?

Xia Wuyou smiled and looked at Chen Xin.

“We transferred one hundred death row inmates from the Daxia Special Prison and told them that if they could live for a month, they would be released.”

"At that time, every one of those one hundred people was filled with anticipation."

“But when we put them into a hundred different entrances to the divine kingdoms, within a day, ninety percent of the death row inmates forgot that they were still human. Even when we pulled them out of those courtyards and restored their human forms, they still thought they were a pig or a goose.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Xin suddenly asked, "How did you bring them out?"

Xia Wuyou smiled, offered no explanation, and continued speaking.

Chen Xin understood; this meant... he had to pay more!

"As for the remaining ten, apart from one who stayed put and hid in the pigsty without incident, the others, who were curious about that world, all ran out under the cover of night."

Do you know what's outside at night?

Xia Wuyou looked at Chen Xin with a half-smile, but did not explain.

Chen Xin was helpless. If he hadn't gone out at night, he might have actually taken out something else and exchanged this information with Xia Wuyou.

Does this old guy from two hundred years ago also know about marketing?
"As for the last person, he didn't even live for a month."

"Although he was always honest and law-abiding, eating and sleeping all day long, he was unlucky."

"Half a month later, someone had a happy occasion, and then he was slaughtered and eaten at the feast."

"This first attempt ended in total annihilation."

"After that, we would explore the Kingdom of God every now and then to see what kind of world it was."

"But even now, we still don't know why the Kingdom of God exists, or what its meaning is."

Xia Wuyou said expressionlessly.

He wasn't lying, but he didn't tell the whole story.

From the information they obtained from the Xia family, they had deduced some things, but they couldn't possibly tell the underworld about them.

Seeing Xia Wuyou stop, Chen Xin asked, "Once you're inside, how do you get out?"

Xia Wuyou did not hide anything from this question.

After all, even if the underworld knew, it couldn't replicate it.

“When my Xia family’s Yin spirit enters, it can remain conscious while actively leaving that world, and it can also take others with it.”

Chen Xin nodded after hearing this.

If they can't get out, how could they possibly bring these messages out?

However, he still had one question about this.

"If the Xia family's Yin spirit leaves the area where that entrance is located, can it still come out?"

Chen Xin's words caused Xia Wuyou's expression to change.

The fact that they could even ask that question means the underworld must have tried it.

Therefore, there's no need to keep us in suspense.

"You can get out, but it will be more difficult than leaving through the entrance."

"why?"

Chen Xin asked.

Upon hearing this, Xia Wuyou smiled and shook her head.

"If the underworld gives us the original Yin-Yang sedan chair, I can answer."

Chen Xin thought for a moment and said, "Did you know that even in the underworld, the Yin-Yang sedan chair has different grades?"

Seeing Xia Wuyou's expression froze, Chen Xin smiled and said, "What I promised you before was a sedan chair of ordinary grade, the same kind that the Underworld Post Station is currently using. This was also your request."

Ignoring Xia Wuyou's unpleasant expression, Chen Xin continued, "Although the Underworld cannot trade the original sedan chair, it can extract its power and add it to other sedan chairs."

"In this way, even if the blessed sedan chair cannot reach the level of the original sedan chair, it will not be much different."

"Unfortunately, even for the underworld, this kind of blessing is very difficult to obtain."

Chen Xin changed the term "Suppressing Seal Overlay" to "extracting the power of the body."

As for the rest, I'm just telling the truth.

As long as enough seals are stacked, they can naturally reach the level of the original body, or even surpass it.

And layering them is indeed quite laborious.

After all, each time it's added up, it requires 10,000 units of good karma.

To accumulate to a level similar to the original body, it would require at least twenty accumulations, which is equivalent to two hundred thousand merits.

Upon hearing this, Xia Wuyou said, "If it can reach a level second only to the original sedan chair, I am willing to answer three more questions for you."

Chen Xin thought about it and agreed.

"The first question is, why is it so difficult to leave that world, which you call the divine kingdom, from outside the entrance?"

Xia Wuyou frowned.

This first problem made him feel a little heartbroken.

In order to obtain this information, the Xia family directly destroyed three Yin spirits.

But for the sake of the greater cause, this information had no choice but to be traded away.

Immediately, Xia Wuyou waved his hand, and the Yin and Yang energies changed.

"Can you see the difference here?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xin frowned as he stared at the image formed by the Yin and Yang energies.

Aside from the fact that there were a few more 'entrances', he couldn't see any difference.

Xia Wuyou waved again.

"now what?"

Chen Xin frowned.

Wave again!

This time, Chen Xin's tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed.

He noticed the difference!

The building at a certain entrance location has changed from one to two, and they are now connected to each other!

Upon discovering this, Chen Xin looked at the other areas again and understood everything.

With each of these changes, the number of 'entrances' within the same area in the images has increased!
Seemingly sensing Chen Xin's change, or perhaps not wanting to keep him in suspense any longer, Xia Wuyou said:

"The area we initially looked at was the seventh level of the Divine Realm. After that, every time it changed, I went deeper into the next level."

"As the number of floors increases, the number of 'entrances' in the area increases, which I'm sure you've already noticed."

As he spoke, Xia Wuyou waved his hand again, changing the image back to the scene on the seventh floor.

"Since we entered from the seventh-floor entrance, it's naturally the easiest way out."

"But if you leave the location of the entrance and want to exit from another place..."

Xia Wuyou looked at Chen Xin.

"That depends on where you want to leave, and which floor you're on!"

"If it's the eighth floor, that's fine. At most, you'll just feel like you've entered a quagmire, and your speed of getting out will be slower."

"If it's the ninth floor, you'll feel like you've fallen into a quagmire and are being pulled along."

"If it's the tenth floor, you'll end up with a bloody head!"

"If it's the tenth floor or above..."

Xia Wuyou smiled.

“There should have been another Yin God in my Xia family.”

Chen Xin understood, and was also shocked.

His question directly led him to two answers!
It turns out that as the level of the Netherworld increases, the number of 'entrances' that can be seen also increases!

Does that mean that if you reach the eighteenth floor, you will see a complete, empty world?

Suddenly, Chen Xin abandoned the question he originally wanted to ask and asked a different one.

"It's difficult to get out from inside, but what if I enter from a deeper 'entrance' into the divine realm?"

Xia Wuyou nodded.

“You’re right, we’ve tried that too.”

"Indeed, if you enter from a deeper entrance, you can freely enter and exit the entrances to the current level and the areas below it."

"But... if you go directly from a higher level, there will be a risk."

"One, the risk of being discovered!"

Xia Wuyou didn't hide anything, after all, he would definitely try it in the underworld.

If it's not mentioned, and someone dies and travels in the underworld, it will still be attributed to the Xia family.

"be found?"

Chen Xin was puzzled.

"Yes, didn't you ever think about why the natives didn't suspect anything when you did so many strange things right after you were reincarnated after entering the seventh floor for the first time?"

Xia Wuyou laughed and said, "You can think of it this way: the lower the level, the weaker the original inhabitants' perception of us outsiders. Even if we were reincarnated as pigs and walked on two legs, they would still think we were precious pigs and wouldn't suspect that we were something else."

“Once we move up from the top, everything we do must conform to our ‘status,’ otherwise we will be watched, discovered, and eaten!”

"So, do you understand?"

Chen Xin nodded, then looked at Xia Wuyou and asked one last question.

"What's on the eighteenth floor?"
