Cultivation of Immortality: This is what unorthodox methods are like.

Second floor interior space:

Although Wang Quan and Sumali entered at the same time and were on the same cloud in the real world, they were still separated after entering.

While Wang Quan was still pondering how to ask, Sumali spoke up: "Gentlemen, we are traveling towards the far west. We've encountered two road markers along the way, and those areas are thousands of miles away with no sign of human habitation!"

"So many people and spirits have died!"

"Everyone, does anyone know what's going on here?"

As soon as she spoke, the many cultivators exclaimed excitedly, "Fellow Daoist, your voice is so beautiful! When will you come to the far west? We can study the Daoist scriptures together and make progress together."

"Fellow Daoist, could you please provide me with your contact information?"

"Fellow Daoist..."

A group of cultivators flooded the screen, all asking to cultivate the [Yu Meiren] technique with Sumali.

Many female cultivators even wanted to cultivate with her because her voice was so beautiful.

Sumali secretly gloated: "Heh heh, I do have suitors after all!"

"Once we reach the far west, I'll show Wang Quan what true allure is!"

After a short while, Wang Quan saw a monk speak:

"This is the case in a small number of areas, but most other areas are normal!"

"The circumstances you encountered, or the abnormal influences you experienced, led to this unbridled massacre."

"Or perhaps some cultivators crafted magical artifacts that affected the climate over tens of thousands of miles, leading to various disasters!"

"Or perhaps a cultivator cast a spell, the power of which affected those areas."

Wang Quan frowned upon hearing this.

Sumali added, "I can accept that anomalies cause various disasters; but when those cultivators refine magical artifacts and perform alchemy, don't they consider ordinary people?"

"This covers an area of ​​tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of miles; how many people will die!"

A cultivator chuckled: "Ordinary people are like weeds, they can be cut down again and again."

"This new continent is too big. Let alone tens of thousands of miles, even if it were millions or tens of millions of miles, it would be nothing more than a drop in the ocean compared to the new continent, and not worth mentioning."

Sumali muttered, "But... even ordinary people shouldn't die like this!"

No one responded to her question this time.

After a short while, the royal power returned to the real world.

Not long after, Sumari also came out.

She looked at Wang Quan and said, "Ordinary people may be like leeks, but they shouldn't die so hastily."

"That encompasses a region spanning tens of thousands of miles, inhabited by people and spirits!"

"To die so utterly pointless!"

Wang Quan comforted him, saying, "That talk of cultivators is probably due to cultivators refining treasures and techniques."

"However, there are other possibilities that could lead to this situation."

Sumali nodded: "I know!"

"But....."

Wang Quan patted her arm to comfort her, "Don't overthink it!"

"Let's keep going and keep gathering intelligence!"

"good!"

call out!call out!call out!

Seventy-two trails of smoke and dust soared through twisted mountains, rivers, and lakes, descending upon landmarks to repair ruins, search for surviving humans and spirits, and establish safe zones.

A...

Five...

Ten...

In just over a month, the two created ten safe zones.

Then, they returned to the real world from the second layer of the world.

Now, the two should enter the underworld and take a shortcut through it.

As they were about to enter the underworld, Sumali, the muscular woman, showed a nervous expression for the first time.

Wang Quan laughed: "The creatures of the underworld are warm and hospitable; you don't need to be nervous!"

Sumali rolled her eyes: "No way!"

"The creatures of the underworld love to eat us; the first time I entered the underworld, they invited me to a feast; I happily went with them to the feast."

"As a result, they washed me clean, put me on a steamer, and sprinkled me with scallions, ginger, garlic, chili peppers, and other seasonings, intending to make me the center of attention!"

"I was so scared I peed my pants!"

"Then I escaped while they were changing the steamer and the soup base!"

"So... I don't want to go to the underworld!"

Wang Quan laughed: "It's alright, I have a good relationship with the beings of the underworld!"

"If you stay with me, they definitely won't steam you!"

Sumali asked suspiciously, "Really?"

"Yes, it's more real than real gold!"

-----------------

Underworld:

Sumali touched the rope on his hand, then looked at the king preaching in front of him, his head spinning.

Because when they entered the underworld, both of them turned into skeletons.

However, after entering the city, she regained her flesh and blood, while Wang Quan remained a skeleton.

"We're all Daoist cultivators, so why is he different from me?"

However, this wasn't what bewildered her the most. What bewildered her even more was that Wang Quan actually sat upright atop the seventy-two clouds of dust, loudly proclaiming, "Everyone, I am the Flower-Scattering Taoist; I have come today to preach to you!"

Then, he spoke in the Dao, and the Dao words rained down from the sky and golden lotuses sprang from the ground.

Sumali was bewildered: "I've spoken Taoist words in the underworld too, but there were no dazzling displays of talent or golden lotuses springing from the earth!"

A stick of incense...

A quarter of an hour...

One hour...

She saw the spirits of the underworld sitting on the golden lotus disappear one by one, and she also saw some spirits of the underworld descending from the golden lotus with great spirit.

She also saw a powerful being from the underworld having a pleasant conversation with Wang Quan, who not only gave him a token but also taught him the techniques of the underworld.

These powerful beings even invited him to a banquet.

Wang Quan shook the rope and said, "I still have a long way to go, I don't have time for a feast!"

"But don't worry, I brought some dry rations, so I won't go hungry."

The creatures of the underworld all praised, "The Flower-Scattering Taoist is truly brilliant. With such methods, we won't have to go hungry or full every day on our journey."

Finally, after exchanging pleasantries, Wang Quan led Sumali into the air and flew away.

Amidst the smoke and dust, Sumali cradled Wang Quan's head, a look of bewilderment on his face: "Why do the beings of the underworld value you so much?"

"We are all human beings, why do they only want to eat me and not you?"

"You think you're too thin? Too skinny?"

Wang Quan patted a treasure pouch at his waist and chuckled, "Before I came here, I made some friends!"

"These friends will naturally protect me after they give me the token."

He concealed the "Underworld Protection" ability within his level-two access privileges.

Soumali stopped asking questions and fell into deep thought.

She glanced at Wang Quan's back for a moment, then played with his head, thinking to herself, "This guy is actually quite a prominent figure in the underworld."

"He's quite capable!"

"If I become more beautiful in the future, I can progress together with him and comprehend the Taoist scriptures together!"

"We can even find a few more female nuns to join us; that way, he will be bewitched by me and unwilling to leave."

"However, the best solution is to have him help me obtain some tokens from spirits of the underworld!"

"Even if he leaves me then, I will be free to roam the underworld, and even attend feasts there!"

Thinking of this, she laughed loudly.

However, she is not currently in the city, and is still in her skeletal state, so she cannot laugh out loud.

But this didn't faze her; in the next breath, her mouth opened and closed, her teeth chattering, making a joyful sound:

"Fellow Daoist Wang Quan, next time you encounter a city, could you please stop treating me like a meal? Could you please treat me like a human being?"

"When the time comes, I'll ask the creatures of the underworld to give me a token too!"
