“This is…the will of Heaven, the will of Heaven!” Zhenyuanzi's eyes lit up as he looked at the turtle shell in his hand.

“Great Immortal, the turtle shell cracked on its own. Could it be that the divination has changed?” Yang Jian asked with a glint in his eye.

Among the others, he was the most knowledgeable about divination. That year during the War of Gods-Sealing, there were many who were adept at divination. Although he himself did not practice it, he had witnessed it many times.

“Indeed, this divination was originally a dead end, but now a crack has appeared, presenting a glimmer of opportunity within the impasse. Perhaps it can help us escape trouble,” Zhenyuanzi said excitedly.

“Oh, what kind of opportunity?” Shen Luo asked.

“I cannot see clearly what it is, but the divination shows that the opportunity lies near the Styx River,” Zhenyuanzi replied.

“If that is the case, let us hurry over,” said Yang Jian, transforming into a white light and shooting towards the Styx River, seemingly very trusting of Zhenyuanzi's divination.

The others followed closely behind. With their speed, they arrived near the Styx River in half an hour.

The place was just as before, shrouded in Yin Qi and with the raging waters of the Styx River, but it was eerily quiet, not a single demonic being or ghost in sight.

“Eh, when we came here before, this place was teeming with ghosts. Now this quiet is rather strange,” mused the Bull Demon King softly.

“It's likely that the Nine Netherworlds summoned all the ghosts back to the City of Ghosts. Now that place is probably fortified strongly. Even if we join forces and attack, I fear the hopes are slim. We should still look for the opportunity that Town Primordial Great Immortal mentioned!” Yang Jian suggested.

The others all nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Shen Luo did not say much and activated his Golden Fire Eyes to survey the surroundings while also spreading out his Divine Sense, but he saw nothing.

The others also used their Divine Powers to search, but to no avail.

“Let's split into two groups: one to search upstream and the other downstream. We can keep in touch with this item,” Zhenyuanzi suggested, handing a green jade pendant to Shen Luo.

“Alright, Brother Niu, Cai Zhu, and I will go upstream, and you, Great Immortal, along with the others, search downstream,” said Shen Luo as he took the jade pendant and flew upstream with the Bull Demon King and Nie Caizhu. Zhenyuanzi, along with Yang Jian and Nezha, went downstream.

“Cousin, do you think Town Primordial Great Immortal's divination is trustworthy?” Nie Caizhu asked after they had flown for a while.

“Divination has existed since ancient times; it should not be a lie,” Shen Luo replied.

“That's right. The Demon Race's Great Sage Kong Xuan is skilled in divination. Unfortunately, he joined the Buddhist Sect during the War of Gods-Sealing. Nowadays, such divinatory arts have declined, but their power is beyond doubt,” added the Bull Demon King.

“Hopefully, that's the case,” Nie Caizhu said thoughtfully, nodding her head.

“Brother Shen, you said earlier that you come from a world a thousand years past. Is this really true?” The Bull Demon King shifted his gaze from Nie Caizhu to Shen Luo and asked, opening the conversation.

“Naturally, it is true. What do you mean by that, Brother Niu?” Shen Luo asked with a slight squint of his eyes, feeling somewhat uncomfortable when his secret was mentioned.

“If Brother Shen truly comes from a thousand years ago, I have an impolite request. I hope Friend Shen can agree,” the Bull Demon King said with a bow.

“Brother Niu, just speak your mind. However, I must warn you in advance, my power in that world a thousand years ago was insignificant compared to now, and I may not be able to do anything too difficult,” Shen Luo responded without overpromising.

“The matter is not too difficult. It concerns my son, Red Boy. Regardless of the outcome of our mission to stop Chiyou's return, when you return to reality, I would like you to keep an eye on my son and prevent him from falling into the Demonic Path. In your era, he should not have come into contact with the Demon Clan yet,” said the Bull Demon King hesitantly.

“Brother Niu, you think too highly of me. As I've said before, I was weak a thousand years ago, while Red Boy is powerful, having reached the True Immortal Stage and is especially skilled in Samadhi True Fire. How could I possibly control him?” Shen Luo shook his head and smiled wryly.

“`

“Brother Shen, there's no need for modesty. I can tell that your strength in reality is certainly not weak. Red Boy's cultivation level is not very strong; it's mainly the Samadhi True Fire that's powerful. The secret treasure vault within Cuiyun Mountain is known to me alone, as well as the method to open the Big Gate of the vault. Within it lies a secret treasure, the Water-splitting Divine Bead, which can overcome all flame divine powers, including the Samadhi True Fire. Today, I will pass this knowledge on to you. After you return, you can take the opportunity to retrieve the Water-splitting Divine Bead, and you may also take some other things as a reward for the task entrusted by me.” The Bull Demon King took out a jade slip and handed it over, seemingly having prepared it in advance.

“Since Brother Niu has said so, if I were to refuse, it would seem quite unkind. I will try to prevent Red Boy from succumbing to the demonic path, though I cannot guarantee success,” Shen Luo considered for a moment before accepting the jade slip.

“Of course,” the Bull Demon King did not get angry at Shen Luo's noncommittal answer; instead, he was quite happy.

Shen Luo's divine sense penetrated the jade slip. The information regarding a location and the secret method to open the treasure vault gate didn't seem false.

However, he did not pay it too much mind; after returning to reality, he could take the opportunity to see for himself.

The three of them continued to fly forward, searching for clues.

After flying for a while, Shen Luo's expression subtly changed.

He sensed with his divine sense that a gray-robed figure had appeared on the surface of the river ahead, seated cross-legged on the water, with swirling yin qi converging around him and merging into his body, absorbing the yin qi of this place for cultivation.

The gray-robed figure's cultivation level was not very high, only at the early True Immortal realm.

“Friend Shen, what's wrong?” The Bull Demon King noticed Shen Luo's unusual behavior and asked.

“It's nothing, there's a ghost ahead,” Shen Luo said.

His divine sense had grown stronger and covered a wider range than that of the Bull Demon King and the others.

The Bull Demon King flashed a look of surprise and flew forward quickly. Soon, he too detected the presence of the ghost, as did Nie Caizhu.

“Hmph! With so many cushy jobs in the Underworld, they had the nerve to send me to such a remote place. They really have no respect at all,” the gray-robed figure complained while continuing to absorb the yin qi.

“It seems to be just an ordinary ghost emissary, but his appearance is strange; let's capture him and ask some questions,” said the Bull Demon King.

The three continued to fly toward the figure, and after a few breaths, they appeared above the gray-robed man.

Upon hearing the noise, the man turned his head, saw Shen Luo and the others, and his complexion changed drastically, as he immediately tried to flee into the Styx River.

But how could the three let him escape? Nie Caizhu waved her Yangliu Branch, and several streaks of green light shot out, firmly restraining the man so that he could not move.

“Elders, spare my life! I am just an ordinary member of the Ghost Clan from the Underworld. Those Demonic Beings have occupied the Underworld, and to save my life, I had no choice but to pledge allegiance to them.” Although the gray-robed man could not move his body, his mouth could still speak, and he begged for mercy.

“What is your name? All the demons and ghosts have already retreated from here, so why are you still here alone?” asked the Bull Demon King.

“I am called Wu Kun, the River God of this Styx River,” the gray-robed man hurried to say.

“Immortal elder, quickly take control of his spirit. With him, we might truly be able to leave the Netherworld and return to the Human World!” Shen Luo suddenly heard Qing Lu's voice in his mind.

Qing Lu's cultivation level was lower, and he had been kept inside the Heavenly Book Space the whole time without coming out. However, he was familiar with the Underworld, so Shen Luo left an opening for him to extend his divine sense outward.

Hearing Qing Lu's abrupt statement, Shen Luo pondered briefly and then pointed a finger.

A golden light shot out from his fingertip, disappearing almost instantly into the gray-robed man's body.

His gaze immediately became dull, and his body motionless, as if he had become a stone statue.
