And they were chanting under their breath.
"Yellow Spring River, Higanbana.
Netherworld path leads to utter void!
Alas, human bones, feasting on human flesh.
Among the Sea of Blood, dwell so households!"
These words seed like children’s rhys coming from their mouths.
Sparkling objects littered the whole path.
Very eye-catching in the night.
And most importantly, the carriage seed to be the center of attention.
As if all the moonlight were shining upon it.
Wherever it went, the moonlight followed.
Xu Zii just watched calmly as the carriage slowly approached.
"The world is full of suffering, Bliss Country is where spirits fade away.
Noble sir, would you wish to enter my Bliss Country?"
When the carriage ca to a stop in front of Xu Zii, it slowly halted.
The coachman suddenly lifted his head and spoke to Xu Zii.
His face was excessively pale, without a hint of blood.
His smile was stern, but it was more unpleasant than crying.
"What benefits are there to entering your Bliss Country?" Xu Zii asked calmly.
"Forget all the worries of Pingsheng, from now on, no constraints in the world, free and easy,"
the coachman replied with a smile.
"But I don’t think so,
Humans are humans because they have Seven Emotions and Six Desires, they understand joy and sorrow.
If there’s no worry, then what is the aning of joy?"
Xu Zii continued to question the coachman.
"Are you happy?"
"Of course I’m happy," the coachman said with a smile.
"Why are you happy?" Xu Zii continued to inquire.
The coachman was taken aback and for a mont didn’t know how to answer.
Happy because there are no worries?
If there are no worries, how do you know that your happiness is indeed happiness?
Just like the saying, "How can those who have never seen the light abhor the darkness?"
The coachman bowed his head in contemplation for a mont and finally chuckled bitterly.
He shook his head and said, "I don’t know why I am happy.
But I do know, if you don’t enter Bliss Country, you will die."
Upon hearing the other person’s words, Xu Zii let out a light laugh.
He shook his head and said, "Many have told similar things before.
Yet now, the grass on their graves is taller than you."
The coachman laughed unrestrainedly, and the black-clothed figures carrying baskets behind him followed with their sinister laughter.
At that mont, boundless Spiritual Energy surged.
The blood-red carriage driven by the coachman suddenly turned into a Sea of Blood.
Blood poured out from the carriage as if life depended on it.
And dyed the surrounding woods blood-red.
Xu Zii looked up to find that the moon above had also turned blood-red.
The fresh blood ford a long, blood-colored river.
The vast river surrounded Xu Zii.
Within this blood-colored river, countless songs and laughter arose.
Xu Zii surveyed his surroundings and saw what seed to be many people gathering in the blood-colored river.
They were singing and dancing, clinking cups and laughing rrily.
Semi-naked dancers swayed their enchanting figures.
"Welco to Bliss Country," the coachman said to Xu Zii with a smile.
Xu Zii squinted his eyes and remained silent.
"Go in and have a look, you might like it," said the coachman.
"If not, it’s not too late to leave when daylight cos."
Xu Zii was silent for a mont and eventually followed the coachman.
The entrance to the kingdom was a Heaven-reaching Door.
It was only after Xu Zii walked through that he realized, there were several distinct areas inside.
So were wrapped in Immortal Qi, others unabashedly luxurious.
In short, there were a variety of scenes.
A scantily clad woman walked toward Xu Zii, smiling with each step.
She arrived by Xu Zii’s side and slightly lowered her alluring face.
She said, "Do you have any desires or things you wish to do?
We can make them happen for you."
"I would like to see what Heaven Beyond Heavens is like, can you do that?" Xu Zii asked indifferently.
"To see the world above the Great Emperor."
...
Upon hearing Xu Zii’s words, the woman smiled and took out a black bracelet.
Without hesitation, she said, "Custor, put this on.
It will tell you what Heaven Beyond Heavens is, and might even let you beco its master."
"A virtual world, huh," Xu Zii shook his head and said.
"Why should you care so much, custor? Aren’t virtual and real all mixed with truth and falsehood?" the woman laughed and said.
Xu Zii nodded slightly and wore the black bracelet on his wrist.
However, the mont the bracelet touched his wrist,
There was a "crack" sound.
The bracelet actually shattered, falling to the ground in pieces.
Xu Zii was a bit puzzled and turned his head.
He saw the woman standing frozen in place, her face full of astonishnt.
"What’s going on?" Xu Zii frowned and asked.
"You... You have co," the woman stamred out.
"What do you an?" Xu Zii said, confused.
"Please wait a mont, I need to report to the superior," the woman bowed slightly and then hurried away.
Xu Zii was sowhat perplexed.
Why the black bracelet had suddenly shattered.
After a while, the sa woman returned.
This ti, she was accompanied by a man in blue robes.
Like her, the man’s complexion was pale and bloodless.
The man’s eyes lacked pupils, being wholly pitch-black.
At this mont, the man looked at Xu Zii, examining him closely.
"My lord, it’s him," the woman said to the man in blue robes.
"It was contact with his aura that caused the Demon Essence Bracelet to shatter."
"What’s the matter? Is sothing wrong?" Xu Zii asked.
"Co with to a place," the man said to Xu Zii after a short silence.
Xu Zii nodded and did not refuse.
He did not understand what this Bliss Country truly ant.
Following the man in blue robes, they passed through a few pavilions.
The deeper they went, the less people they encountered.
The human presence was scarce, and the Demonic Qi in the space grew heavier and heavier.
Especially when they passed through a corridor.
The walls of this corridor were adorned with various Demonic Items.
So with towering Demonic Qi, and so restrained in power but full of demonic nature.
After passing through the corridor and a series of Forbidden Lands,
Xu Zii finally stopped in front of a Teleportation Array.
The Formation was shrouded in a Sea of Blood and risen Demonic Qi.
Almost tangible, Demon Liquid dripped down bit by bit.
"Go ahead, soone inside is waiting for you," the man in blue robes pointed at the Teleportation Array and said to Xu Zii.
"Who exactly are you?" Xu Zii asked, frowning.
"You’ll know once you enter," the man in blue robes sincerely replied.
After pondering for a mont, Xu Zii finally stepped into the Teleportation Array.
A "boom" erupted as Demonic Qi surged around them.
Demon Fla blazed fiercely.
An overwhelming might descended from the heavens.
Xu Zii’s vision changed, and he found himself in another space.
...
"I’ve been waiting for soone,
A person who should be impossible to appear,
I have waited for a very, very long ti,
And now, he has co!"
