The Eternal World

Zhang Chao's expression changed, and he quickly turned his head.

He saw that there were already two guards standing behind him without him knowing. They were looking at him warily.

"Ugh …" "I …" Zhang Chao thought about what he was supposed to do, he couldn't spout nonsense.

He couldn't say that he went to the Underworld to save her, right?

No matter how you looked at it, it sounded as if they were going to start a war with the underworld.

"I... "I was just passing by..." He didn't know which one of his tendons got the wrong one, but the moment his head twitched, he replied smoothly.

"Passing by?" The two ghost servants looked at each other.

"Oh no, what should we do?" Stunned... " After Zhang Chao finished this sentence, he regretted it and immediately transmitted to his brain in a daze.

"Big Brother, I admire you!" He was dumbstruck and was extremely speechless. He then hurriedly said, "Don't worry, with me with you and the Underworld King's bracelet, they won't be able to tell if you're alive or dead, because I'll cover up all the yang energy you emit!"

"Without yang energy, they wouldn't even be able to tell if you have a physical body or a soul body. However, this can only be done by these imps, ghost kings and other existences. They might not be able to fool you!"

"So that's how it is..." Zhang Chao raised his eyebrows.

"There's still a long way to go from here to King Qinguang's Hall. We'll pass some places along the way, and we can also take a look to see if any of your friends have fallen there!" He continued to remind him in a daze, "If you move on your own, it would be too eye-catching. It would be better to move forward with these ghost servants!"

"Move forward together?" Zhang Chao was a little surprised.

"Hmph, sneaking around is really problematic. Speak, just what are you doing?" When the two ghost servants saw that Zhang Chao himself did not know what to mutter, they immediately became angry and walked forward.

"Brother Messengers, this is my first time here and I don't understand your rules, so …" If there's anything that cannot be done, please take care of it! " Zhang Chao rolled his eyes and immediately put on a smile, then bowed and said to the two Messengers.

"Nonsense, for you dead people, who wouldn't be their first time here?" As the Messenger said that, he took out a chain from his waist, wanting to tie Zhang Chao up.

"No, let's have something to talk about. I know you two have worked hard. This is for the honor of both of you!" Zhang Chao immediately took a few steps back, with a flick of his sleeves, he took out two crystal stones and handed them over.

"Crystals?" When the two Messengers saw this, they were stunned. Their eyes simultaneously flashed with a green light.

They raised their hands and received it. After scrutinizing it for a while, the smiles on their faces became even more radiant. "Hahaha, it really is a crystal!"

"Damn, it's only two low-grade crystal stones, they seem to have the strength of seven or eight levels of Natal Opening Realm no matter what, do they really need to be so happy?" Zhang Chao was a little disdainful.

"Big Brother, because the Underworld is an extremely dark place, it doesn't have many crystals to mine. The strength of these ghost servants is accumulated because they have trained in the Underworld for countless years. Although their strength isn't great, I guess they have at least been ghost servants for a hundred years!" He blankly said again, "So you took out the crystal stones and gave it to them, this kind of scarce item is naturally more valuable than real money!"

"Eh, but aren't there a lot of cultivators who have come here?" It's impossible that no one brought crystal stones here, right? " Zhang Chao was a little puzzled.

"You don't know about this. When a dead person dies, they cannot bring anything with them to the underworld. That is to say, they are completely empty. Except for their clothes, they can be completely projected, but it is not completely real!" He continued to explain in a daze: "The same principle applies to relatives and friends of the dead, sacrifices made for the dead are the real deal in the world, they can truly reach the dead, but normally, they are all at the other end of Sante River!"

This is also where the Resurrection Lily s open. After a dead person dies, they usually have to wait seven days before they can cross the river, which is known as the first seven in the world. After a person dies, it will take seven days to dissipate all the yang energy on their soul.

"However, for ordinary cultivators, very few people would bring them crystal stones or other precious items. Some paper, paper, horses, elemental treasures, candles, etc., they would either bribe the ferrymen or bring them here to bribe these ghost servants. However, in reality, they are of ordinary value!"

"Of course, there are a few cultivators who would bring along a few crystals and the like, but very few of them are like that!"

"After all, cultivators are different from mortals. After they die, they come to the Underworld. The Underworld's rules are completely different from ordinary people's!"

"And you came to the Underworld alive, unable to compare yourself to those dead cultivators. That's why you came to the gates of the Underworld, walking the path of mortals!"

"No, that's not right. The one who challenged the Stone of Three Lives was also quite strong!" That's a genuine cultivator, right? " Zhang Chao still had many questions.

"There are exceptions to everything, and there will often be cultivators mistakenly entering the tunnels of mortals. However, it is impossible to force them to return, so ferrymen will make things difficult for them!" He smiled faintly and said, "Of course, the chances are very high. After all, too many people die in the Underworld every day, and the tunnels are relatively unstable, so there will always be cultivators who take the wrong paths, or mortals who enter the paths of cultivators!"

"It's so messy!" Zhang Chao scratched his ears, as he roughly understood the meaning of "dumbstruck".

After all, the Underworld was host to one hundred and eight Heavenly Realms. No one knew how many trillion lives there were in the Underworld. So no matter how hard they tried, it was impossible to be perfect.

"Kid, this is some good stuff. How did you bring it in?" The two Messengers carefully took the crystal stones into their bosom. Then, their attitude immediately changed and their tone became much more amiable.

"Hehe, I won't hide it from the two of you, I have someone up there!" Zhang Chao said mysteriously.

"There's someone up there?" The two Messengers froze for a moment, but immediately understood what was going on. Looking around to see that there was no one around, they lowered their voices and asked, "I wonder, which Ghost General or Ghost King is it?"

"Shh!" You can't just randomly ask about this, and I can't just randomly say it either! " Zhang Chao raised a finger to his mouth, making a silent motion. Regardless if it was his expression or his movements, they were extremely well-placed.

"Oh, oh, we understand!" The two Messengers nodded and started muttering to each other.

"I say, this grandpa seems to have some background!"

"That's right, not only can they bring down the genuine crystal stones, they even said that there's someone on them …"

"That's no wonder. From the looks of it, he's a cultivator. Furthermore, he came from a path that belongs to a mortal. This proves that even the most troublesome ferryman has to give him face!"

"Right. How can cultivators not have clean hands?" As long as you accidentally enter the path of mortals and enter the Sante River, you can consider him as a cripple. But look, this lord's clothes are clean and undamaged, and he can even take out crystals.

"Exactly, no one could defeat the three themselves created by the Stone of Three Lives. This means that he did not spend money, and he even allowed the ferryman to carry him across the river for free. How much face is this? "

The more they discussed, the more uncertain the two Messengers felt in their hearts. They even sneaked a glance at Zhang Chao from time to time.

Zhang Chao, on the other hand, had a relaxed appearance, with his hands behind his back, as if he was admiring the scenery around him.

Although there really was nothing to admire about this scenery.

However, the whispers of the two Messengers entered his ears word by word.

"Hehe, big brother, your method isn't bad!" Ye Zichen praised with a silly smile.

"I've only heard one thing, money can make a fool of itself, so I tried it, and... These two Messengers don't seem to be that smart, so I might as well lie to them a little more! " Zhang Chao said without care.

"That's right, the Messengers don't have a good brain. They have been in this dark place for a long time, doing all sorts of dry and boring things all day. It would be strange if it wasn't for them!" "After all, they are the ghost servants in charge of mortals and weak ones. If they are the ghost servants in charge of cultivators, then they won't be so easy to fool!"

On the other side, the two Messengers finished their discussion, and after that, they looked at each other and walked towards Zhang Chao with a flattering smile. They even rubbed their hands and said, "Hehe, this lord, we brothers had too many bad things to do previously, I hope you can forgive us!"

"Sure, sure. It's okay if you don't know!" Zhang Chao generously waved his hand.

"But, sir, this little one's crystal …." The Messenger was reluctant to part with Zhang Chao and reached his hands into his robes. According to their analysis, Zhang Chao's origins were not small, how could he dare to take his money?

However, there was no such thing as a precedent for the Messengers to return the items they had obtained. This caused them to be at a loss over what to do.

"Merely two crystals, what does that count? Just keep them safe and sound! " Zhang Chao laughed.

"Thank you very much, but we can't allow you to call us big brother. You are trying to kill us as a vile character, and we don't even have a proper name anymore. I'm called Cha Ren, and he's called Ren Cha. You can just call us by our names!" When the two Messengers heard this, they immediately became overjoyed again, bowing and kowtowing.

"Scum?" Scum? " Zhang Chao raised his eyebrows, what the f * ck was this name?

However, thinking about it, these two fellows were also ghosts, so he nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble the two of you to bring me to Hall Qin Guang. If everything goes smoothly on the way, I'll give you another piece when we get there!"

"Really?" The two Messengers were overjoyed upon hearing this.

"I don't need to lie to you all!" Zhang Chao shrugged his shoulders.

"Haha, thank you so much!" The Messenger quickly expressed his gratitude, "Don't worry, for you, we will go alone. On the way, feel free to ask for any request. We will serve you like our own father!"

"Ugh …" "Father?" This analogy touched upon the matter buried deeply in Zhang Chao's heart.

Yeah, I originally planned to go to the Chaotic Continent, and take a look at the place my parents appeared at, and find some clues that my parents might have left behind. But I didn't expect that not only did I not get the chance, I actually ran into the Underworld …
