Gods of the Nation: You worship the God of Longevity, I worship the King of Hell!

Chapter 126 What?! There are only three spots for becoming an immortal?!

"Does my young friend recognize me?"

Seeing the undisguised astonishment written all over Lu Chen's face.

Zhong Kui raised his thick eyebrows slightly, his bushy beard trembled slightly, and his tone revealed a hint of surprise.

Since the mortal realm explicitly forbade the private invocation of deities.

Over the past two or three hundred years.

Many household spirits have long since faded from the sight of mortals, gradually becoming legends in old books.

When He was eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path in the past, He had encountered several mortals, but none of them could accurately tell the origin of His title.

They had no idea who Zhong Kui really was.

Unless you encounter a spiritual practitioner with profound cultivation and long lifespan...
Fang knew a little about His deeds.

The mortal boy before him, who appeared to be only in his early twenties, recognized him at a glance.

How could this not surprise Zhong Kui?

"I know him! The name of the True Lord is renowned far and wide; who in the world doesn't know him, who doesn't recognize him!"

Lu Chen excitedly stepped forward and grabbed Zhong Kui's hand.

If we were to discuss the most renowned deities in the Three Realms, Zhong Kui would definitely be among the top ten.

His identity is especially unique within the Taoist system.

His prestige was probably only slightly less than that of a few Grand Celestial Masters.

For Lu Chen, at this moment, it was like a devoted fan finally seeing his long-admired idol in person.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Kui stroked his beard and laughed heartily: "Hahaha! I never imagined that times would change so drastically, and that such a young and talented man would still recognize me!"

Xie Qingyi and Fan Rusong exchanged a glance.

They had originally planned to introduce their general to the outside world, but they never expected him to be so knowledgeable.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, everyone took their seats in turn.

"Young friend, may I have the information of the victim to review?"

Zhong Kui suppressed his smile and said seriously.

"Please look, True Lord."

Lu Chen spread out several documents on the coffee table.

Zhong Kui bent down to examine it closely, and pondered:

"Born in the year of Renwu, the zodiac sign is Horse, and the destiny is Willow Wood."

"Born in the year of Ji Chou, the zodiac sign is Ox, and the element is Thunderbolt Fire."

"Born in the year of Gui Si, the zodiac sign is Snake, and the destiny is Chang Liu Shui (Long

"The year of Gengzi is the year of the Rat, and the element of Earth on the Wall is Earth."

"Right now, we only need one more Sand Gold to complete the set of five lives."

Lu Chen nodded and continued, "The method of becoming an immortal through the Five Prisons not only requires selecting five human demons, but also gathering the five elements' destinies. More importantly, these destinies must also conform to the four symbols."

He counted on his fingers and said, "It requires [Yangque], which is extreme Yang; [Yinque], which is extreme Yin; and the six associated elements: [Shaoyang Taiyin], [Taiyang Shaoyin], [Taiyang Taiyin], and [Shaoyang Shaoyin]."

"Among these four people, one has the [Yin Que] skill, one has the [Shao Yang Tai Yin] skill, one has the [Tai Yang Shao Yin] skill, and one has the [Shao Yang Shao Yin] skill."

One name is still missing for each of the following: [Yangque] and [Taiyang Taiyin].

"But Jiangdu City has a population of one million, so it is not difficult for the practitioner to gather the remaining two people."

But for us, even if we narrow the scope to the minimum, there are still tens of thousands that meet the criteria.

If we only focus on the characteristics of 'human-demon' to investigate, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack, and we might miss the opportunity."

As soon as Lu Chen said these words, not only did Zhong Kui's eyes light up, but Xie Qingyi and Fan Rusong also showed surprise.

"Young friend, you actually know so much about 'Five Hells to Become an Immortal'?" Zhong Kui raised his thick eyebrows, quite surprised.

"I dare not conceal this from you, True Lord," Lu Chen said, cupping his hands. "My ancestors passed down some secret techniques, which I discovered by chance. Among them, the theory of becoming an immortal through the Five Hells is recorded."

Lu Chen continued to use the same old excuse.

"I see." Zhong Kui suddenly realized, "It seems that your ancestors must have been wealthy in the past."

Zhong Kui had no doubt about this.

There are many talented and extraordinary people in this mortal world.

Some ancestral secret methods are not unusual.

"Wow! The general knows so much!" Xie Qingyi's eyes were full of admiration.

Fan Rusong, however, astutely seized upon a contradiction: "General, something's not right. If only five demons are needed, why are there six different types of subordinates?"

"This is because, besides the human demon, this method also requires finding a destined person, and this destined person is the final type of companion." Zhong Kui stroked his beard and looked at Lu Chen, smiling, "Young friend, am I right?"

Lu Chen clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Your Majesty is wise! This technique is also considered extremely evil among the methods of corpse dissolution."

Unlike sword dissolution, weapon dissolution, or staff dissolution, which allow one to become a ghost immortal by borrowing an object.

This method not only requires five human demons to undergo torture in five different hells, but also requires an outsider to carry out the final punishment.

And this executioner is the 'destined one' of the corpse-dissolving practitioner.

He took a deep breath and continued to explain: "This person's destiny must be compatible with that of a corpse-dissolving individual, that is to say, it must be associated with either the Yangque or the Taiyang Taiyin."

More importantly, the executioner must be willing and proactively bear the consequences for the entire ritual to be completed.

"Hiss!" Xie Qingyi gasped. "It sounds simple, but the conditions are much more demanding!"

Fan Rusong pressed on, "What does the general mean by 'sharing the consequences together'?"

"To become an immortal."

Lu Chen uttered two words, but they were like a thunderbolt from the blue.

"If the ritual is successful, both the executioner and the executed will ascend to the level of Ghost Immortals. However..."

He then changed the subject, saying, "Although ancient books record it this way, whether one succeeds or not depends on fate. If they are lucky, they will both ascend to immortality; if they are unlucky, it is common for their souls to be scattered together."

"So dangerous? How could the executioner agree to that? It's practically gambling with their life!"

"Sister, it's simple. Just don't tell the torturer the consequences."

Lu Chen shook his head: "No, we must tell the truth! If we harbor any deception, we are prone to inner demons, which will greatly increase the chances of the ritual failing."

"Huh? This..." Xie Qingyi was speechless for a moment.

Lu Chen stared at the documents on the table and said in a deep voice, "Therefore, this executioner must have an extremely strong obsession with becoming a ghost immortal."

Such people often fall into one of the following categories: either their lifespan is coming to an end, they are suffering from a serious illness, or they have an extreme yearning for the path of ghosts and immortals.

Otherwise, most people would never want to get involved in such karma—after all, the slightest carelessness could lead to utter ruin.

"What a terrible price..." Xie Qingyi clicked her tongue inwardly: "Mortals have to pay so much to become ghost immortals like us?"

Lu Chen chuckled: "Mortals are human, you are immortals. The path of cultivation is inherently difficult. Those like Zhenjun, who were granted titles by the Heavenly Court and directly became gods, are extremely rare throughout history, numbering only a handful."

Zhong Kui laughed loudly, neither denying it nor denying it.

Throughout history, no more than five people have had this opportunity.

"So, according to this, the Five Hells Ascension Method can create two Ghost Immortals." Fan Rusong's expression was solemn. "Adding to that case at the Rebirth Academy, there are actually three people in Jiangdu City attempting to cultivate into Ghost Immortals recently?"

In the same area, so many people have attempted to become ghost immortals using evil methods in a short period of time.

This situation is truly appalling.

If the case is not solved quickly, there is a risk that more and more people will follow suit, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

“It might not be just three people.” Lu Chen flipped his palm, revealing the piece of Yin Thunder Wood, his brows furrowed. “I now suspect… that guy who tried to cultivate the ‘Living Ghost Immortal’ might have considered the Five Hells to Immortality as a backup plan. Otherwise, this is just too much of a coincidence!”

"What?!" Xie and Fan were shocked, but after thinking about it, they realized that it was indeed possible.

"Young friend, please allow me to take a look." Zhong Kui took the Yin Thunder Wood, his gaze suddenly sharpening: "Yin and Yang in motion? Such an evil technique is truly unheard of!"

Although Zhong Kui is a demon-exorcising deity, his true nature is more about subduing demons and monsters.

Although he had some knowledge of secret techniques, as a top scholar, his understanding was relatively limited.

It was already difficult enough to know about the Five Hells to become an immortal, but this evil technique of simultaneously creating Yin and Yang was something He had never seen before.

I wonder where this evil magic came from?

"Putting everything else aside, this piece of Yin Thunder Wood alone is enough to show that the person behind it is no ordinary person."

Zhong Kui narrowed his intimidating tiger and leopard eyes: "This person is very likely to have some connection with the underworld."

Even if not, he had a deep understanding of the secret arts of the underworld.

And they have a powerful background!
After all, we would have to buy it from elsewhere.

The purchase of just this piece of Yin Lei wood alone is quite valuable!

Lu Chen nodded in agreement: "That's right, what the True Lord said is absolutely correct!"

Those who can perform the Five Prisons Ascension Technique must be extraordinary individuals.

Not only Yin Leimu, but the fact that he could find five human demons in the vast sea of ​​people is enough to show his skill!

If you really want to investigate carefully, you could probably find something in a month or two, but that would be too inefficient.

It would be better to try asking the Fourth Duty Officer and see if we can get accurate information.

In Lu Chen's view, if you can take a shortcut, why not take a shortcut?
Zhong Kui nodded first, then shook his head slightly: "Even so, I'm afraid it's not that simple..."

　The second revision is finished immediately.
