Fellow Daoist, your script is really good.

"Yes!"

Zang Hong knelt on one knee before Qiu Qingmeng, appearing extremely loyal.

Su Li was already somewhat confused!

Qiu Qingmeng seemed to be trying to send herself to the underworld.

Could it be that Qiu Qingmeng is plotting something even in the netherworld?

"Don't worry, Qingmeng, I will definitely come back as soon as possible."

We'll see what surprise Qingmeng has in store for us then.

Su Li smiled and patted Qiu Qingmeng's head.

I have no other choice now.

Let's take a step by step.

But Su Li had never felt so panicked before.

I can't understand Qiu Qingmeng.

It's as if everything I have is in Qiu Qingmeng's hands.

The next morning, Qiu Qingmeng escorted Su Li to the entrance of the Netherworld.

The netherworld leads to the underworld.

In ancient times, the entrance to the underworld was also known as the Gate of Hell!

It is the place where one's merits and demerits in life are evaluated, and where one is reincarnated.

Watching Su Li enter the Netherworld until his figure completely disappeared, Qiu Qingmeng finally withdrew her gaze.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Wei and Wang Cang have arrived."

A maid emerged from the darkness and knelt on one knee before Qiu Qingmeng.

"I understand. Tell Wang Cang to go directly to the alchemy room and wait for me. He should prepare to refine pills today!"

"Yes."

The maid disappeared into the darkness again. Qiu Qingmeng did not immediately go to the palace, but instead came to a plain.

In this plain, there is only one tombstone.

Qiu Qingmeng slowly walked to the tombstone.

The tombstone was engraved with several words in blood red.

[The Tomb of Su Xingzhi, Husband of Qiu Qingmeng]

"My husband, everything is ready."

Soon, I will be able to see my husband again.

Qiu Qingmeng knelt on her side in front of the tombstone, her head resting against it, her small hands gently stroking it.

After an incense stick had burned, Qiu Qingmeng reluctantly gave up the tender moment.

"My lord, please lend me your ashes for the time being."

Qiu Qingmeng stood up, reached out and grabbed, and an urn of ashes burst from the grave.

The pearl from the king clam, her husband's ashes, a wisp of his soul, and all sorts of materials are ready.

Wang Cang also arrived.

Finally, once her husband enters the Netherworld, in that deadly place, she can refine the elixir.

Why did Qiu Qingmeng let Su Li go to the Underworld?

That's because only in the Netherworld do Su Li retain the memories he lost in his previous life.

Once that pill is refined and then integrated into that wisp of divine soul, it can be used as a medium to help my husband retrieve his previous memories!

When my husband emerges from the underworld, he will truly be my husband...

......

Meanwhile, Su Li and his two companions, having already passed through the Gate of the Underworld, arrived at a small path.

The path is wide.

It is ten meters wide.

It's very long; you can't see the end of it at a glance.

Beside this path is a dark forest.

All sorts of ghosts wander along the path.

Some of the ghosts are crying.

Some ghosts were wandering around aimlessly.

There was also a little girl with completely empty eye sockets, searching for her own eyeballs.

Su Li felt that she hadn't guessed wrong.

This way.

This must be the legendary Road to the Underworld.

In mythology, after a person dies, the underworld constables known as "Black and White Impermanence" come to capture the person's soul and take it to the King of Hell's palace.

It takes a long time to walk.

This section of road is called the Road to the Underworld.

Legend has it that there are many wandering ghosts on the road to the underworld, who are those who died before their natural lifespan was over.

They can neither ascend to heaven nor descend to earth, nor be reincarnated; they can only wander the road to the underworld.

In the ancient times of this world, there were indeed Black and White Impermanence, who were very powerful ghost cultivators.

However, after the ancient war, the Great Dao was shattered, many laws changed, and the Underworld was also destroyed.

Now, no one knows what it has become.

“After a cultivator dies, he can become a ghost cultivator. However, if a mortal dies unnaturally and his obsession is difficult to resolve, he cannot become a vengeful ghost to seek revenge.”

They can only waste their time on the road to the underworld.

Or rather, they were all waiting for someone.

Looking at these souls, Cang Hong sighed with emotion and spoke.

"Waiting for someone?"

Yi Meihan asked curiously.

From the moment she stepped into the Netherworld, Yi Meihan's small hands gripped Su Li's clothes tightly, refusing to let go.

Su Li was speechless.

You're a cultivator at the Jade Purity Realm, what are you afraid of, ghosts...?

"Yes, we're waiting for someone."

Zang Hong watched the ghosts coming and going on the road.

"They are waiting for their enemies to die and embark on this road to the underworld!"

Then tear the other person to pieces here!

After they resolve their inner conflicts, they will leave the Road to the Underworld.

"What if... we can't wait?" Yi Meihan continued to ask.

"If they don't get what they're waiting for, they'll keep waiting until they give up and leave on their own. Otherwise, they'll be utterly destroyed."

After all, even if one becomes a ghost, the duration of their soul is limited.

"..."

After listening to what Zang Hong said, Yi Meihan lowered her head gently.

Although she was still afraid of these ghosts on the road to the underworld.

But Yi Meihan felt even more sorry for them.

The three of them used the technique of shrinking the earth to an inch, and after a short while, they left the Road to the Underworld after half an incense stick's time.

Beyond the Road to the Underworld lies a river.

This river is very wide, and on the other side of the river, the red spider lilies are in full bloom.

This side of the river is called this bank, and naturally, the other side of the river is called the other bank.

"Would you three like to row a boat?"

An old man was slowly rowing a bamboo raft toward Su Li and his companions.

The small boat that the old man was rowing slowly came to a stop in front of Su Li and his two companions.

The old man looked extremely thin, with a pale face, and even somewhat terrifying.

It's the kind of thing that can leave a child with childhood trauma.

The kind of thing that gives you nightmares just by looking at it.

"Sit down, why don't you sit down?"

Su Li jumped onto the boat, and Yi Meihan and Zang Hong naturally followed suit.

"Please be seated, all three of you."

The old man smiled, his face full of wrinkles, and paddled his small boat toward the other side of the river.

The further you swim to the other side, the redder the river water becomes.

It was as red as blood, and quite eerie.

When Yi Meihan first arrived in the Netherworld, she was terrified upon seeing the river that resembled blood.

Zang Hong is alright, after all, he is a pure-blooded ghost cultivator.

However, Zang Hong looked at the river with great curiosity.

Cang Hong had been to the Netherworld before, but he had only wandered around the wasteland after the entrance to the Netherworld.

The furthest one can go is the road to the underworld.

This wasn't because Cang Hong had any limitations, but simply because Cang Hong didn't like Youming.

So he really had never been to such a deep place.

But when you reach the center of the river, the water becomes thick and blood-like.

Clutching at Su Li's clothes, Yi Meihan curiously peered into the river.

In the blood-red river, Yi Meihan saw several ghosts staring intently at her, their bloody hands outstretched.

Yi Meihan was so frightened that she shuddered and immediately pulled her head back, clinging tightly to Su Li's arm.

Feeling that cotton candy-like softness, Su Li couldn't tell who was taking advantage of whom...

"Grandpa, what kind of river is this?"

Su Li asked with a smile, looking as if she were on a vacation, showing no sense of danger in this strange place.

"Oh~ this is called the River of Oblivion."

In mythology, the River of Oblivion, also known as the River of Helplessness, is located between the Yellow Springs Road and the Underworld, with the River of Oblivion serving as the dividing line.

Our River of Oblivion is blood-yellow in color, filled with wandering ghosts who cannot be reincarnated.

This is because those ghosts who, in order to see their loved ones again in this life, refused to drink the Meng Po soup that erases memories of their past and present lives, jumped into the River of Oblivion.

They can only be reincarnated once every thousand years.

Over the course of a thousand years, you will see the person you love most in this life walk across the Bridge of Helplessness again and again.

But you can see him, while he can't see you; there is no greater tragedy than this.

"How tragic..."
