Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

"Next, let me see which direction Pegasus is in!" He solemnly took out the fragment of the Pegasus Cloth given to him by the Pope.

Chapter 57 Crossing the Sanzu River

Under Wu Xin's expectant gaze, the fragment of the Saint Cloth in his palm slowly floated up, then swayed left and right like a pointer, beginning to sense the location of Pegasus.

After swaying nearly a dozen times, the Saint Cloth fragment finally stabilized, with one of its sharp points pointing north.

"Over there!"

Wu Xin's eyes lit up, and he strode over to find it.

Before long, he arrived at the foot of a huge stone archway.

That is the gate to hell.

However, Wuxin did not see Tianma nearby.

Undeterred, he crossed the gates of hell and continued his search, soon arriving at the banks of the Sanzu River.

That is the boundary of the First Hell of the Underworld, and the one-way road for all the departed souls.

Because the Sanzu River is not a simple river; it is a filthy river that gathers the resentment of the dead and the blood of the deceased.

If a soul falls into it, it will be immediately contaminated and dissolved, leaving not a trace behind.

Therefore, once a soul crosses the Sanzu River, there is no possibility of turning back; it is called the road of no return.

Seeing that the fragment of the Saint Cloth in his palm was still pointing forward, Wuxin suddenly realized, "It seems that I still have to cross the Sanzu River and continue searching forward!"

"However, before we can cross the River of Three Crossings, we still have to deal with that greedy Charon from the Heavenly Star!"

Charon is the ferryman of the River of Three Crossings, responsible for transporting the souls of the dead across the river.

If a living person wants to cross the river, they have to pay.

Because his duties did not include ferrying living people across the river.

With that thought, Wu Xin put away the Saint Cloth fragments and turned to enter the horde of corpses behind him.

He had no gold or silver on him, so to deal with the greedy Tianjianxing, he could only find valuables from the other dead.

Before long, Wuxin found three gold necklaces, five gold rings, and some gold coins on the bodies of the dead.

"That should be enough!"

Hefting the weight in his hand, Wu Xin nodded.

He then went to the riverbank and quickly found the Celestial Star, which was carrying the souls of the dead.

Perhaps because they were fighting to cross the river, many of the dead fought each other on the riverbank, making that section of the riverbank extremely chaotic.

Wu Xin frowned slightly, having no intention of getting entangled with those ghosts. He immediately leaped over the many undead above and crashed onto the bow of the ship of Tianjian Star with a loud thud.

Faced with his sudden fall, the small boat immediately began to rock violently on the river, startling Tianjianxing, who was receiving the dead onto the boat.

"What are you up to!"

"If you capsize this boat, can you afford to pay for it?" Charon said angrily as he hurriedly steadied the boat.

"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry!" Wu Xin shrugged, then opened his right hand, revealing a handful of gold and silver in his palm.

"So what if we're in a hurry..."

Tianjianxing Charon was initially unconvinced, but after seeing the gold and silver in Wuxin's hand, he couldn't take his eyes off them and kept swallowing.

"These things should be enough to apologize and pay for my ticket, right?" Wu Xin asked with a smirk.

"Enough, enough!"

Charon nodded repeatedly and eagerly grabbed the gold and silver from Wuxin's hand.

He has no other hobbies, he just likes this kind of thing.

"Alright, go wait at the bow over there, don't delay me from receiving the undead!" His gaze was entirely focused on the gold and silver, not even glancing at Wuxin.

Seeing this, Wuxin didn't cause any trouble and quietly moved to the other end of the small boat.

Perhaps sensing the powerful aura emanating from him, the undead dared not approach him too closely and all moved aside.

Fortunately, since the undead don't have physical bodies, it doesn't matter if they huddle together.

This is why Charon was able to transport the dead on the Sanzu River using only a small boat no more than five meters long.

However, although the undead do not take up physical space on the boat, they are attracted by the Sanzu River and will continue to sink, adding extra weight to the boat.

This also meant that Charon's small boats could not transport an unlimited number of souls.

As more and more spirits were brought aboard, the waterline of the small boat continued to rise.

Seeing that a warning line had been reached, Charon stopped receiving the boat, pushed the oar against the bank, and propelled the small boat out of the river and towards the center of the river.

Only then did Charon, who finally had some free time, have the opportunity to examine the young men on the ship.

"I don't think I've ever seen you in the 108 Demon Stars before. Are you new here?" Charon asked with some doubt, looking at Wuxin's somewhat unfamiliar face.

Besides the 108 Demon Stars, the Underworld sometimes also takes in some additional talents.

Of course, there aren't many people like that.

Wu Xin immediately nodded and lied, "Yes, I only joined recently!"

"I was fortunate enough to gain the favor of Lord Tiankui Star, and was thus introduced to the Underworld!"

Tiankui Star Yaoma is quite mysterious in the underworld and doesn't interact much with other Hades warriors. Using this person's name makes it less likely to be discovered.

"Tiankui Star?"

Charon thought about it carefully and found that he had no impression of that demon star, and didn't even remember what the other person looked like.

To be precise, I hadn't even really met that person.

"By the way, I recently heard that Lord Hades has awakened in the human realm and is causing quite a stir there. I wonder what's going on here in the underworld?" Wu Xin asked casually.

“The Underworld has always been peaceful, but the day before, Lord Luni of Tianying Star suddenly mobilized all the ghost messengers and Specters of the First Prison, ordering everyone to search for the Pegasus soul that fell into the Underworld!” Charon replied without any warning.

"Oh? Pegasus? Is that the Bronze Saint Pegasus from the Sanctuary?" Wuxin asked further.

"Yes, that's him!"

Charon nodded, rowing the boat as he spoke, "I've heard that guy has a fated entanglement with Lord Hades, so the higher-ups have given a death order to find his soul and seal him away forever!"

"Have you found him?" Wuxin asked hurriedly.

"not yet!"

Charon shook his head and said helplessly, "There are too many undead in Hell. Finding Pegasus among them is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

"Even if the higher-ups narrow the search to the First Prison, it's not a task that can be completed in a short time!"

Hearing this, Wuxin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Pegasus hasn't been captured by the Specters, everything is still fine.

Otherwise, given Wuxin's strength, he wouldn't be confident he could snatch someone from the Specters.

In particular, there are quite a few Specters here whose strength has reached the Seventh Sense.

In addition, he also obtained a crucial piece of information: Pegasus's soul was in the First Prison, which would allow him to find Pegasus more quickly.

Soon, as the small boat passed through the mist on the Sanzu River, Wuxin saw the riverbank ahead.

Charon rowed a couple more times, and the boat sped up, quickly reaching the shore.

The first prison has arrived.

Chapter 58 Reunion with Pegasus

The first prison is called the Judgment Hell.

As the name suggests, this is a place dedicated to judgment, judging all the souls who have entered hell, and making different judgments based on their different experiences in life. It is considered the final verdict on a person's life.

This place was originally ruled by Minos of the Heavenly Noble Star.

However, Minos is one of the three judges of the underworld, and he has many responsibilities, so he is unable to be in two places at once. This place is usually guarded by his deputy, Luni.

As the one in charge of guarding the prison, Tianyingxing's strength is naturally not bad, reaching the level of the seventh sense, and even approaching the upper level among the seventh senses.

Wu Xin must be careful to avoid that person.

"May we meet again someday!"

After taking one last look at the star in the sky above the bow of the ship, Wu Xin stepped onto the riverbank and quickly left.

Only after he had completely disappeared from the sight of the Celestial Star did he take out the fragment of the Pegasus Saint Cloth.

The fragments swayed again, then quickly stabilized and pointed northeast.

"Over there!"

Wu Xin didn't linger and immediately strode over to find it.

Perhaps it was because he was getting closer to the Pegasus that he encountered more and more ghost messengers on the way.

They seem to have pinpointed the approximate location of the Pegasus and are conducting an intensive search in this area.

"Tianma is in danger!" Wuxin immediately realized and sped up the search.

Fortunately, he was covered by pure death energy, making him look exactly like a Specter. The ghost messengers dared not provoke him, let alone come to stop him, which made his search very smooth.

After searching for an unknown amount of time, Wuxin suddenly sensed a fluctuation of the microcosm ahead.

Looking further ahead, one could see silver shooting stars twinkling in the distance, and then a slightly ethereal figure burst out from the encirclement of countless ghost messengers.

"Found it!" Wu Xin exclaimed with delight.

He recognized it at a glance; it was Pegasus's soul.

Without hesitation, he immediately sped up and went to meet them.

"Specters?"

Seeing Wu Xin carrying a trace of pure death energy from afar, Tianma was greatly alarmed.

He wasn't afraid of ordinary ghost messengers, but he was truly unsure of himself when facing Specters.
