Chapter 705: Chapter 590: Healing the Sick, Kings of the Underworld_2

After atoning for their sins in the factory, ghosts are granted the opportunity to be reincarnated and return to the mortal world.

Based on the accumulated work points, their identities are divided into ten ranks.

The first rank, governed by Buddha and Dao; the second rank, official nobility; the third rank, imperial son-in-laws; the fourth rank, civil and military ministers; the fifth rank, wealth and splendor;

The sixth rank, street beggars; the seventh rank, from donkeys to horses; the eighth rank, beasts and birds; the ninth rank, pigs and dogs in the next life; the tenth rank, a group of fish and shrimps.

Before scheming and slacking off, consider your next life’s fate first.

Like a blank sheet, the "Filth Cleaning" had its first ink spot immediately rewritten upon it.

A glimmer appeared in the eyes, and following the strongest instinct at heart, he muttered,

"It seems like... my reincarnation has failed?

I must leave this place, I need to perform well, I need to earn work points, I want to reincarnate and go to the mortal world!"

Suddenly, abandoning the initial perfunctory effort, he pushed the large mill with all his might.

The "Yama’s Avatar" watched the "Filth Cleaning" finally start to work seriously in the rehabilitation labor, a malicious smile appearing on his face:

"After Xiao Yu took the Heavenly Department Divine Position of Meng Po, the effects of this first bowl of Meng Po Soup brewed are indeed excellent.

’Innately evil’ everyone naturally lacks virtue, thus I shall impart you Morality.

Such good material as a half-immortal splitting soul, I haven’t even had the heart to devour it directly—you must perform well and strive to complete your transformation soon."

Just like the basic principle of the "Five Techniques of Civilian Control":

"When people are poor, their wills are short. Before eating, they only have one concern, but once satiated, countless worries arise," just like that.

When one can’t even secure basic safety and rest, there’s no spare energy for aimless thoughts, only mechanical conformity to go with the flow.

Becoming just another screw in the assembly line.

"Innate evil" is essentially soul disorder.

The prison life of the nineteenth layer of Hell is precisely suited to reforming people.

Moving from absolute chaos to absolute order, pairing perfectly with highly militarized, mechanical, repetitive blood-sweat assembly lines.

Through intense labor reform, their chaotic souls are gradually molded into "mechanical minds," reestablishing order.

Wang Yuan looked forward to it.

Waiting until the "Filth Cleaning," which manages wicked thoughts in this stream of seven souls, gets thoroughly cleansed into a "nature essentially good" being who "fears harming ants while sweeping and loves sparing a moth from the candle."

Then putting him back into the body of the "Underground Master" could yield some interesting chemical reactions.

"After all, I, Old Master Wang, am not a devil but merely a Yama who likes to correct past mistakes and cure the sick.

You were originally a beautiful woman, why turn to theft?

Lady Xiang, turning back is the shore!"

Of course, even with enough Meng Po Soup, and using the strictest rules to constrain him, seeing effective results would still take at least a year and a half.

Wang Yuan withdrew his gaze, no longer paying attention to this split soul of the Underground Master.

Immediately, he turned his head towards his own major concern—the backside of Yin Mountain.

"The operation in the west is progressing vigorously but still too slow.

As long as those Green Seal Ghost Kings remain, they won’t harm the root and can rise again anytime."

After Wang Yuan was promoted to the Dharma Image level, the preparation for the Immortal’s Promotion Ceremony was imminent.

The key to advancement in the Earthly Que Golden Book is not as simple as "Corpse Dissection" like going home.

It is said to be extremely difficult.

Corpse Dissection Immortal: "Corpse Dissection" is a promotion ceremony that results in death if not achieved.

Discarding everything except a bit of true spirit, carrying only "Inner Scene Heaven and Earth" to detach from the Great Thousand World, he achieves True Immortal status, dependent on the native Heaven’s Dao.

This is the simplest path.

Immortal: "Duke Bingling" follows the ancient path of the Immortal, coalescing an incense-fired divine body, deeply integrating himself with the myriad tasks of the mortal realm. As humanity progresses, so can he advance.

Clearly one of the oldest Corpse Dissection Immortals, yet fallen to being continually overtaken by juniors like the Nine Soldiers.

The path of the Heavenly Immortal that Wang Yuan has fixed is the most difficult.

To break through the barrier of Immortal Ascension, aside from merging all their Daoist skills into one to become the master of Immortal Heaven, they must also complete the preliminary ceremony of the Earthly Que Golden Book.

So-called "Que" is the dwelling place of Emperors, the hub of royal power.

And "Earth Que" refers to the Yama Golden Palace of the Earthly Yin World, also the center of power for the Yin Department.

Cultivating this Heavenly Department Dao Skill meant striving to achieve an "Earth Que," commanding countless Yin Officials and Ghost Gods, and enshrining his own Yin God as a revered immortal and divine being.

Seated on the Golden Que, all Gods venerated him!

During the process of cultivation, he needed to summon countless Yin Soldiers, Yin Officials, Yin Generals... heavily guarding him from the side, raising him high upon the throne.

Even at the first realm of Red Seal, it was required to establish the Five Senses Altar City as a foundation and select five Earth Que Yin Officials who matched the Five Elements to protect him.

Until the last step before becoming an immortal.

His own status too must become the true Master of the Yin Department, sweeping across the entire Ghost Path, to be worthy of the supreme rank of the Yin Heaven Son!

The first was the Mortal World’s "Mountain and River Country Formation" City God System which must be completely captured, meaning that he also had to help Zhou Jinghuan unify Red County Shenzhou.

The second involved the Underworld, with Fengdu City not only serving as the native Heavenly Dao headquarters but also harboring too many ghost countries, Ghost Kings, and Ghost People outside the system.

Moreover, the highest being in the Ghost Path, the Underground Master, waited eagerly.

Neither of these points was easy to deal with.

After pondering for a while, Wang Yuan retrieved from his Inner Scene Heaven and Earth the only piece of Green Seal Level Rashamon Bone, which had split off after enduring the "Green History."

"Whether it be the Underground Master or those wavering fence-sitters, I will not allow anyone in the entire Underworld to oppose me, Old Master Wang!"

If he attacked each family one by one, it would be too easy to startle the snakes, causing them to unite under pressure and become unmanageable.

It was necessary to find a chance to wipe them all out at once, to clean up all the Green Seal of the Underworld in one go."

Just at that moment,

his body on Dushuo Mountain suddenly transmitted a message: Yin Juezhi, the Taoist Master of Iron Coffin Dao, whom he had interacted with during his aid in Liangzhou for Dragon Elephant Dao, came to visit.

He even mentioned that he would bring a major gift.

"A major gift?"

Just as he murmured in his heart, he suddenly looked up, soared into the sky with escape light, and gazed from afar toward the peak of Yin Mountain located in the middle of the Underworld.

A radiant array of multicolored auspicious light pierced through the grey haze of ghostly clouds.

In the grey, dim Underworld filled with the nine serenities of ghostly winds, it was so dazzling, startling all the high-ranking Magicians of the entire Underworld.

"Is this... an Inverted Mountain?

No, this is a large tomb! A scene of great tomb hidden in the crack of space-time!"

The shadow of an inverted mountain slowly appeared amongst the mountaintop’s multicolored auspicious light, its base up and peak down.

Looking carefully, it was clearly a square black large tomb.

Simultaneously.

In the ghost countries behind Yin Mountain, about a dozen splendid escape lights, just like Wang Yuan, shot up into the sky.

For a moment, almost half of the Underworld was illuminated by the brilliant Dharma Light emanating from their bodies.

Among them, two exuded an aura most magnificent, vaguely matching Wang Yuan, the Sage at the Dharma Image level.

To the north of Yin Mountain stood a dignified King dressed in green Crown Robes, exuding a strong scent of incense.

Lord Hao Li was a Green Decree Ghost God who followed the Incense Fire Divine Dao (Chapter 443).

Just like the former master of Moluo’s four islands, the ’Land Creation God’ Great Country Lord, both were equivalent to great gods at the Dharma Image level.

In myth and legend, Lord Hao Li was the original Master of the Yin Department.

But his authority had greatly diminished since, falling from the supreme rank and even out of the main system of Divine Positions.

The other figure to the south of Yin Mountain was the freely moving Dharma Image level avatar of the Underground Master, the Elephant Head Ming King.

Despite the Underworld being fundamentally thinner than the Mortal World, with a dozen or so Green Seals when combined, they were situated to the south and north centered around these two.

Wang Yuan narrowed his eyes, matching the names from the intelligence reports with the true persons for the first time.

"Undying Bone," "Guardian Corpse Buddha," "Old Monument King," "Spirit Coffin Ghost King," "Ya Mountain Lord"...

"Mrs. Chitou," "San Tu Reversal," "Smoke Soul Ghost Master," "Blood River Great General Wang"...

The host of Green Seals, clearly unsure of what had occurred, looked at the large tomb that had appeared atop Yin Mountain, all somewhat perplexed and worried.

Until someone exclaimed in shock:

"This seems to be the legendary Ancestor Dragon Imperial Mausoleum buried in the Underworld! It contains the Tai’a Sword! Sui Hou Pearl! And... Emperor Shi!"

Upon hearing this, the tension among the dozen Sages suddenly escalated.

Wang Yuan’s heart stirred. At this moment, there was no need for Yin Juezhi to speak; he finally knew what the mysterious great gift was.
