From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

I just don't know how long this state can last...

The fairy, however, was not a timid girl. She bypassed Zheng Zha, looked directly at Chu Xuan, and said, "I didn't understand a word you said just now, but if you want to harm my unborn child, you'll have to get past me first!"

Once outside the mural, the fairy Lolita's graceful figure, which allowed her to take flight, was gone, and she could no longer fly. However, her "ghostly body" was much harder than that of ordinary ghosts.

If Chu Xuan really chose to fight Fairy Loli hand-to-hand, without Arno's protection, he might not necessarily be stronger than her.

"No need for abortion."

Seeing the tension between the two, Zhang Zhiwei didn't intend to let the conflict continue. "The birth of a child born from the union of a human and a ghost is different from a normal woman's childbirth. Before it is fully conceived, it cannot be killed by conventional means—"

[But it can kill the fairy Lolita.]

However, Zhang Zhiwei did not say the second half of the sentence.

As for the reasons...

Perhaps Chu Xuan is too rational; he might openly or secretly try to kill Fairy Loli, causing Zheng Zha to erupt.

Zhang Zhiwei wasn't too concerned about the unity within this strange team, but now that they were in the Ghost Realm, and he was currently considered the "captain" of the two, mutual support was key. If a team was still fighting amongst themselves—

We need to deal with the infighting first!

"Furthermore, over the years, there may have been children of humans and ghosts in the ghost realm. Perhaps Ning Caichen in the 'Xiaoqian' story never left the ghost realm of 'Lanruo,' and so did Zhu Xiaolian in 'Painted Skin.'"

"Humph!"

Upon hearing that his child with the fairy could not be killed by conventional means before birth, Zheng Zha breathed a sigh of relief, but he still gave Chu Xuan a cold look.

"Brother Zhang, where are we going next?"

"Let's go and cause trouble for the Ten Kings of Hell."

Zhang Zhiwei's eyes narrowed; he had his own plans.

The "Heavenly Palace" and the "Underworld" exist side by side. Since there is a stable spiritual realm of radiance within the Heavenly Palace, then theoretically, there should also be a spiritual realm of radiance within the "Great Black Mountain" where they are currently located.

Perhaps it can be called:

The spiritual realm of the earth shines.

Humans are inherently a combination of yin and yang.

If what remains in the Heavenly Palace is the pure consciousness representing truth, goodness, and beauty that a person possessed in their lifetime, then the birth of the various ghosts and monsters in the Black Mountain must be inseparable from the part of consciousness that is false, evil, and ugly.

Compared to the "yang" represented by truth, goodness, and beauty, the "yin" that contains falsehood, evil, and ugliness is more profound, refined, and weighty, representing turbidity.

Furthermore, the presence of beings representing order, such as the Underworld Emperor, the Ten Kings of Hell, and the Five Ghost Emperors, in the present-day Daheishan Mountain proves that a radiant realm of earthly spirituality does indeed exist within Daheishan Mountain.

"Aren't we looking for the Celestial Meteorite and the Qin King's Bone-Illuminating Mirror?" When Zheng Zha entered the mural world, he received a side quest hint from the main god, which was to know the existence of the radiance of the three spiritual realms of heaven, earth, and man. However, he dared not accept the reward of the S-level side quest.

The danger must be extremely high!

"It's the same thing."

Chu Xuan looked towards the summit of Mount Dahei, "That underworld emperor cannot leave the summit..."

It is highly likely that he himself is part of the radiance of the spiritual realm of the earth, and Zhang Zhiwei has already confirmed that the Eastern Ghost Judge, like the Underworld Emperor, also possesses immortality...

Perhaps the four great ghost judges of the east, west, south, and north, together with the underworld emperor himself, forming the five ghost emperors, plus the ten kings of hell, are the only ones who can together become the carriers of the spiritual realm of the earth.

We only ran ten kilometers, but that Eastern demon judge didn't chase after us...

There are two main reasons:

Firstly, the Underworld Emperor is currently being held back by Jiang Liu, and the commotion of his battle has made him fearful and afraid to go out; secondly, he himself cannot stray too far from that Eastern Ghost City.

I lean towards the latter; after all, why would an immortal monster be afraid of being killed?

"exactly."

On the iron rod, the Azure Dragon spoke, "To find the Heavenly Star Meteorite, we may need to use the bodies of the Five Ghost Emperors and the Ten Kings of Hell to confirm it."

"???"

Zheng Zha was full of questions.

Is the celestial meteorite related to the ghost bodies of the Ten Kings of Hell and the Five Ghost Emperors?

"The wisdom of mortals"

If the radiance of the spiritual realm of the earth exists, then it must be controlled by the Emperor of the Underworld. The carrier is most likely a meteorite from the heavens, which has been integrated into the ghost body. However, it cannot bear the weight alone, so it has created the Ten Kings of Hell and the Five Ghost Emperors to share the burden.

The purpose of going to the Ten Kings of Hell now is simply to confirm this matter and find out which Ghost Emperor or King of Hell is inside the celestial meteorite…

# Chapter 356 Zheng Zha and others in action (12) Black and White Impermanence... Lady?

Just as Zheng Zha and his group were about to go to the Ten Kings of Hell to confirm their suspicions, Zheng Zha received a message from Qi Tengyi: "Captain Zheng Zha, we've found an important clue..."

"Really? We're coming right away!"

Zheng Zha exclaimed in surprise, informing Chu Xuan, Zhang Zhiwei, Lingdian Qi Tengyi and others of the clues they had found, and prepared to meet up with them.

"Then let's split into two groups."

Chu Xuan, however, did not intend to go with Zheng Zha. "You, Ling Dian, go and guard Qi Tengyi. I will go with Zhang Zhiwei to test the Ten Kings of Hell."

"And the two of us."

The green dragon and white dragon on the iron rod spoke in unison, saying that as a weapon that could talk, it was capable of fighting even without human control.

"it is good!"

Zheng Zha gave Chu Xuan a deep look, then called out to Ling Dian, and the two ran down the mountain together...

···

After receiving the mission from Zheng Zha to investigate the mountain, Zhao Yingkong, Qi Tengyi, and Arno set off for Daheishan Mountain, searching for relevant information from house to house.

The ghosts hiding in strange houses and bizarre caves were naturally beyond Qi Tengyi's ability to deal with, but Zhao Yingkong's strength was not bad.

Although she didn't have a method to deal with ghosts, ghosts in the ghost realm have "physical bodies" and can be affected by "physical attacks." If one attack doesn't kill them, there will be a second and a third. As long as she has no fear, she can survive.

After going up the mountain, they searched more than 20 "haunted houses" and witnessed all kinds of strange ghosts with human heads and dog bodies, big heads and thin bodies, and human faces and turtle bodies, but they could not find any useful clues. Qi Tengyi could only judge from the tattered clothes worn by these ghosts that these ghosts may have been people from the Southern Song Dynasty to the Republic of China period.

"How long will it take to find it?"

Qi Teng looked up and saw that the Black Mountain was covered with ghost towns and villages of all sizes, and he couldn't help but swallow.

"Aren't you an archaeology expert?"

Zhao Yingkong countered, "As long as you can find useful clues as soon as possible, it won't take too long."

"...I actually only have some unique methods for authenticating antiques."

Qi Tengyi revealed the truth.

He's skilled at appraising antiques, but finding an ancient tomb and concrete clues is a different story—

That would put him in a difficult position.

He's not a detective!

Actually.

Compared to those who are still alive, isn't the Ghost Realm just a peculiar "ancient tomb"?

The legendary underworld is the final resting place of all the living and the tomb of all the dead! In other words, they are now searching for news of the celestial meteorite and the Qin King's Bone-Illuminating Mirror in an "ancient tomb"!

"Then we'll just have to search through haunted houses one by one." Zhao Yingkong was quite excited, because she had never ventured into a haunted house before.

And now!

The entire Black Mountain is filled with all sorts of "haunted houses," and the "staff" inside are all genuine ghosts and monsters.

The three explored another haunted house, killing the weaker ghosts and searching for clues, but to no avail. Just as they were about to move on to the next house, two chains, one black and one white, reached in from outside the door and bound Qi Tengyi and Arno.

"What is that?!"

Qi Teng was so frightened that he hurriedly tried to use that wisp of Qi to strengthen his physical body, but it was completely absorbed the moment it touched the chains.

Arno's situation was similar, but fortunately, he was a large man. Although his spirit was weakened considerably without that wisp of Qi, he still managed to hold on for a second thanks to his considerable strength.

After that, Qi Tengyi and Arno were dragged out one after the other.

During this time, Zhao Yingkong continued to slash with her dagger, but the black and white chains were extremely tough and could not leave a single mark.

"A magical artifact of this world?"

With a thought, Zhao Yingkong jumped behind Arno, grabbed his collar, and prepared to strike the ghost that released the chains the moment she was pulled out the door with Arno.

As she stepped outside, Zhao Yingkong saw two women dressed in black and white dresses, wearing two round hats. The black hat had the four large white characters "天下太平" (Peace Under Heaven) written horizontally on it, while the white hat had the four large black characters "一见生财" (May you make money at first sight) written horizontally on it.

But what Zhao Yingkong cared about most was the magnanimity of these two people—

She was even better than him.

However, Zhao Yingkong still acted according to plan. The moment Arno was pulled in front of the alluring woman in black, she suddenly darted out, slashing the neck of the "Black Impermanence" with her dagger, and then swung it towards the neck of the "White Impermanence".

But the latter clearly reacted, swinging the white chain in his hand away from Qi Tengyi. In the blink of an eye, the chain formed a vortex, deflecting the dagger and then striking Zhao Yingkong.

Zhao Yingkong remained expressionless, grabbed the Black Impermanence corpse whose head had rolled to the ground, and threw it toward the white chain that was spinning and swinging towards her.

Chains bound the corpse of Black Impermanence and pulled it to his side, while Arno took the opportunity to break free from the black chains.

After the headless corpse of the Black Impermanence came into the arms of the White Impermanence, the White Impermanence threw it to the ground with a "thud," and then—

"Ouch!"

The head of the Black Impermanence actually let out a painful cry, causing Zhao Yingkong to turn her head.

Immediately afterwards, the head floated above the corpse, was caught by the headless corpse's arms, and pressed back onto the neck, with the face facing the back.

"Wrong number?"

Black Impermanence muttered to himself, crossing his hands to hold his ears and rotating them 180 degrees clockwise.

Click!

The head turned 180 degrees, and the face was finally aligned with the chest, returning to its correct position.

"What...are you?"

Seeing that Hei Wuchang could speak, and that the feeling of chopping off his head with a dagger was different from killing a ghost, but rather similar to a real human, Zhao Yingkong decided to probe for information before taking further action.
