The Undying Immortals of the Terrifying Heavens

"Haha, that's awesome!"

"It feels so good to show off before leaving!!"

Nothing in the world is more satisfying than showing off. If he didn't do this, how would anyone know he was fighting zombies?

President Chen exhaled a breath of stale air, glancing around at his surroundings, only to find himself not in the real world!

It was pitch black all around, with what looked like a starry sky overhead, where countless worlds like stars seemed to be flowing around, and the land beneath your feet was lifeless.

In front of me stands an ancient stone tablet.

Chen walked over and saw that the top of the stone tablet was engraved with familiar seal characters.

Name: Chen Xing

[Identity: Walker of the Heavens]

[Experiencing the World: Part 1]

[The Next World: The Curse]

"So I'm a Walker of the Heavens, huh? That's a pretty cool title!"

As soon as Chen Xing touched the stone tablet, the rules governing this place instantly came to mind.

This place is called the Boundary Between Heavens, a magical place formed by the collision of the Heavenly Dao of all the myriad realms.

This place is infinitely large, time cannot stand still, and Chen Xing is all alone. He doesn't need to eat, and he can do whatever he wants here. However, since entering this place, his physical condition has been fixed and cannot be changed.

"So I can gain experience here, but I still need to go to the mission world to train my physical body."

"Shouldn't I be entitled to a reward for completing the task?"

Chen Xing patted the stone tablet hard, but there was no reaction.

No matter how much he protested, he received no reward.

"Alright, time travel is already an immense opportunity; if we don't have it, so be it."

Chen Xing didn't dwell on the matter too much; he figured he could just take whatever he wanted himself.

He considered himself a rather easygoing person.

He raised his hand, and the bamboo umbrella ribs given to him by the underworld official were still there.

Chen Xing took it down and shook it vigorously, making a whooshing sound. It was obvious that this thing was related to ghosts. However, since no one helped him identify it, its purpose remained unclear.

So Chen Xing tentatively asked, "Could you tell me about this thing's abilities?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he actually responded, but it was as if some kind of automatic program had started.

Golden seal characters float on the surface of black bamboo strips.

[The Umbrella Rib of the Underworld: It possesses the power to seize Yin and avoid Yang, and can also draw out ghosts, strike souls, and diminish life.]

Not bad, not bad. The Yin-Yang escaping technique is for survival, but it's completely useless to Chen Xing. However, it's quite good for fighting ghosts.

"Huh, can I use this to summon the Great Black Buddha Mother?"

Chen Xing couldn't help but fantasize. In order to make it a reality, he put it away after he got tired of playing with it, and then practiced horse stance.

It takes considerable skill to draw the Great Black Buddha Mother!

The next moment, Chen Xing's feet suddenly transformed into a surging river. He stood in the middle of the river, feeling the undulating waves.

Doing whatever he wanted—it was all an illusion, a falsehood, but Chen Xing could use it to practice his skills.

Time is passing quickly, and the environment is constantly changing.

Until three months have passed

One wave after another, waist-high, crashed towards him!

Chen Xing stood firmly on his feet, as still as a rock, and threw a punch with a thud, his muscles creaking.

With a splash, the waves erupted.

Chen Xing straightened up, and the boundary returned to its original deathly silence.

"A single sound is worth a thousand pieces of gold; this is the essence of Ming Jin!"

Chen Xing didn't know if he was a genius or a fool, but after three months of tireless self-discovery, he had reached his current level.

His physical attributes haven't changed at all; it's purely an improvement in how he generates power.

It wasn't that he couldn't continue practicing, but Chen Xing had been holding back for three months and was getting a little restless.

He desperately wanted to talk to someone.

"With such an awesome name as 'Boundary Between Heavens,' why can't you just conjure up a 175cm tall, curvy, black-rimmed glasses-wearing office lady in black stockings?"

Chen Xing strongly condemns this!

This is not at all free will.

So he went to find happiness in a haunted world.

He stood before the stone tablet, his voice echoing across the boundary: "Don't fall from the sky this time! It'll hurt!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xing disappeared.

......

......

Chen Xing opened his eyes and was surprised to find himself in a room.

Unfortunately, a pale-skinned corpse was kneeling in worship toward the computer desk.

"How exciting, we've already encountered a dead person as soon as we arrived?"

Chen Xing took a deep breath. There was no smell of decay, which meant the person hadn't been dead for very long.

He instantly got into the zone.

With a push, the corpse stiffened and fell to the side, but its posture remained unchanged.

Chen Xing looked at that face, which was covered in bloodstains, with a severely swollen forehead and splattered black blood all over the floor. It must have died from kowtowing.

Looking at the computer, Chen Xing moved the mouse and exited sleep mode, revealing a YouTube channel.

The video played automatically, and a repulsive face emitted a sound that made Chen Xing feel even more disgusted!

"...Everyone, follow me and make this hand gesture while reciting the mantra: 'Fire Buddha Rest One, Heart...' This gesture is called the Eight Directions Heaven Mudra, which can help accumulate merit!"

"Damn Li Ruonan, you're disgusting me right off the bat!"

Chen Xing immediately closed the video and casually opened the channel's homepage, noticing that the latest video featured the face of a little girl.

This is naturally the YouTube channel of Li Ruonan, the protagonist of "The Curse".

This is not about extracting merit at all; on the contrary, it is used to bear the curse of the Great Black Mother.

In other words, the guy who died in the room was killed by the Great Black Buddha Mother after he followed Li Ruonan's video instructions.

The next second, a golden seal script appeared.

[Decree of the Gods: Destroy the Great Black Mother Buddha and cleanse the curse and defilement]

"I'm going to do the Great Black Buddha Mother even without your orders."

There's not much to say about this mission; it's simply about killing the Great Black Buddha Mother. There's one person who deserves to die, Li Ruonan, and another person who is a real man.

It was Xie Qiming; Chen Xing didn't want this man to die.

He's at least a good person, and good people should live.

We'll see how it goes. As long as we don't let him watch the recording, it should be fine.

Chen Xing recalled the plot: Xie Qiming traveled thousands of miles to Yunnan to find a reclusive monk in order to remove the curse on Chen Duoduo. He took the initiative to watch and decipher the videotape about the Great Black Buddha Mother.

He found the truth, but ultimately he was cursed to death by the Great Black Mother.

The culprit was Chen Duoduo's biological mother, Li Ruonan, who was also the most deserving of death in the whole scene!

All of this was caused by the other party and a few other reckless individuals six years ago. Despite the clear explanation of the forbidden area in Chenjia Village, they insisted on forcing their way into the forbidden area, resulting in the breaking of the seal of the Great Black Buddha Mother.

Chenjia Village was destroyed, and for the past six years she has been spreading that curse online every day, trying to make innocent people bear the curse for her.

Six years later, Li Ruonan found Chen Duoduo and taught her to write her real name. Because of this action, Chen Duoduo was essentially sacrificed to the Great Black Buddha Mother.

This led to a series of bad things happening, and the final outcome was also very bad.

Many people mourned Li Ruonan's death: the kind-hearted aunt who gave Chen Duoduo a talisman, the dedicated psychologist, the temple keeper couple at Zhoucang Temple, the policeman from six years ago... and the young man in front of Chen Xing.

Those who were meant to live did not survive, while those who were meant to die lived to the very end.

Chen Xing glanced at Li Ruonan's latest video; not much time had passed, so Xie Qiming should not be in danger yet.

The most urgent task is to find Xie Qiming; once we find him, we'll have the upper hand.

Chen Xing opened a new page in his browser and searched for Xie Qiming's name directly.

After a short while, he successfully found the address of the kindergarten where the other party worked, but unfortunately, Xie Qiming's phone number was not on it.

Xie Qiming works at a public kindergarten, so they issue announcements for both dismissing and hiring teachers, regardless of whether anyone reads them.

The phone number wasn't fully displayed, presumably for privacy reasons.

Chen Xing got up and found a cell phone and a wallet on the corpse on the ground.

Upon opening the screen, the lock screen displays a photo of a cheerful young man and a little girl.

"Brother and sister?"

If he doesn't know the password for the locked screen, the phone is basically useless.

In the end, Chen Xing took the money from the wallet and then deleted all records about Li Ruonan from the computer.

During the journey, he also noticed some study materials hidden in a folder on the D drive.

Chen Xing clicked on each one with a serious expression: "Alright, it's fate that we met, I'll help you deal with it."

He received the start-up capital from this guy and should take care of his posthumous reputation.

Chen walked out of the room, deliberately leaving the door unlocked. Not long after, a neighbor passed by and glanced at it curiously.

A dozen minutes later, the police car appeared.

At this moment, Chen Xing had already arrived at a kindergarten by car.

He walked around the kindergarten but couldn't find Xie Qiming, so it seemed he wasn't there.

Arriving at the security booth, Chen Xing said anxiously, "Hello, I'm looking for Teacher Xie Qiming. Is he on duty today?"

The security guard, a middle-aged man in his thirties, immediately became wary after hearing Chen Xing's words. He asked, "Who is that? Which child's parent are you? I've never seen you before."

"I am Chen Duoduo's uncle. My name is Chen Buxing, but I heard that Duoduo was taken away by her mother. How can this be? Her mother is not a good person here. The last time I saw Duoduo, it was Teacher Xie Qiming who received her."

When Chen Xing mentioned Li Ruonan, he pointed to his head.

Then, Chen Xing said regretfully, "I forgot to save Teacher Xie's phone number last time. Could you please contact him and explain the situation to me?"

It was just a simple phone call to confirm, and the security guard didn't refuse.

He took out his phone, which already had Xie Qiming's number saved on it, and Chen Xing wrote down the number through the glass of the security booth.

Not long after, the security guard angrily said, "Teacher Xie doesn't know you at all!"

Chen Xing smiled nonchalantly: "Sorry, it was just a prank. I'll be going now."

He quickly left the kindergarten, went to a small shop and bought a lot of snacks. When he was paying, he asked, "Boss, can I borrow your phone to make a call?"

Unspoken rule in stores: If you ask for something directly, you might be refused, but the chances of them agreeing to your request increase significantly after you make a purchase!
