Chapter 693: Chapter 457: Wu Earth Bead, Emperor’s Book of Earth!
There are four main organizations in the Underworld Palace, namely the Underworld’s Bureau of Laws, Department of Rewarding Good, Department of Evil Punishment and the Inquisition Agency.
Lord Cui is the chief judge of the Underworld’s Bureau of Laws.
The head judge of the Department of Rewarding Good is Wei Zheng.
The chief judge of the Department of Evil Punishment is Zhong Kui while the chief judge of the Inquisition Agency is Lu Zhidao!
These four institutions not only consist of their respective chief judges but also many other judges who assist with the work. These judges are classified as “Civil and Military Judges”. Civil judges, as exemplified by Lord Cui, can use the power of the Book of Life and Death and the judge’s pen to judge Yin spirits and determine their three lives.
Martial Judges like Elder Wang, Wang Defa, have the Taiji Symbol mark on their forehead. Armed with a “mace and awl”, they represent the battle power of the four main organizations. They are generally responsible for maintaining the stability of these organizations and escorting some powerful evil spirits whose crimes are extremely heinous.
Responding to Wang Defa’s inquiry, Xu Yang explained, “I have some ghost friends in the mortal world who wish to bee immortals. However, they are unsure if they can overe the heavenly tribulation in the mortal world, so I brought them to Fengdu City to overe their tribulations.”
Elder Wang is one of the few high-ranking officials in Hell who thinks Xu Yang is the “son of Emperor Beiyin of Fengdu”.
He furrowed his brow, and said, “Nonsense!”
“What’s the matter?”
Xu Yang was surprised.
Me!
How is it nonsense that I, as the underworld’s Crown Prince, brought some “friends” to the Underworld Palace to bee immortals?
Wang Defa explained, “In the past two months, the netherworld has been turbulent. All areas and houses of the Underworld Palace are recruiting strong individuals. The emergence of over thirty Ghost Immortals being immortals will cause a significant disturbance. By then, those people from the Underworld Palace will definitely not let them go.”
Xu Yang’s eyes widened, “Dare they?”
“Why wouldn’t they dare?”
Wang Defa shook his head and said, “You don’t understand the Underworld… Suppressing the netherworld is a priority for the Underworld Palace and the entire three realms. At this critical juncture, no one would give up on over thirty heavenly immortals.”
He paused, then added ominously, “Even if this matter is brought up to the Emperor, I’m afraid nothing would change.”
“I’d like to see who will dare!”
Xu Yang muttered grumpily, “I promised the others to bring these thirty-eight Ghost Immortals back safely. Besides, the Earth is facing a great calamity right now. Satan is gathering his army, preparing to attack Earth… I don’t need the Underworld Palace’s help, but if they try to snatch the professionals from Earth, I, Xu Yang, will never agree to that!”
Wang Defa responded, “The only hope is that other strong powers of Fengdu City won’t e. As such, after they break through, you could return them to the mortal world.”
However, being an immortal isn’t something that can be done at will.
Especially for Ghost Immortals.
Although they have flesh and blood, their bodies aren’t actually physical but were formed by their Yin Body’s power.
After being immortals.
They need to shed their Yin Bodies and form Celestial Spirit Bodies.
Additionally, the “Yin Deity” would transform into an “Immortal Infant”.
This is a long process, requiring at least two hours to plete.
Before their conversation ended, several formidable auras rushed over from the direction of Fengdu City.
The leader, wearing a red judge gown, was none other than Cui Jue.
Following behind Cui Jue was a judge from the Inquisition Agency, as well as two powerful experts seeming to be Golden Immortals.
“Elder Cui!”
Upon seeing them, Xu Yang asked with clear agitation, “I brought a few friends here to bee immortals in Fengdu City on behalf of someone, is there a problem with that?”
“No problem, of course there is no problem!”
Lord Cui didn’t dare to provoke Xu Yang. He looked at the direction where the thirty-eight Ghost Immortals were breaking through, and said, “If my guess is correct, these Ghost Immortals are all experts from Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum, aren’t they?”
Xu Yang nodded.
Lord Cui continued, “I have received information about the Hell from the west. It’s not easy for Earth to cultivate some powerhouses. I noticed they don’t have any handy weapons… After these brave men breakthrough, they can go to the armory of my Fengdu City and choose one magical immortal artifact each.”
“Lord Cui!”
The few Golden Immortals behind Cui Jue changed their expressions and quickly sent him a telepathic reminder.
“Shut up!”
Cui Jue scolded them telepathically, angrily saying, “Do I need you all meddling in my business? If anyone has an objection, go tell the Emperor!”
On the side.
Wang Defa was shocked!
Ah this…
This is not what he expected?
Instead of detaining the thirty-eight soon-to-be immortals, Cui Jue was planning to give them immortal artifacts for free???
This didn’t make sense!
Given Cui Jue’s status and the Emperor’s favor, he shouldn’t be so apprehensive of Celestial Master Xu, should he?
Xu Yang, on the other hand, didn’t overthink it.
He breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, “In that case, I’ll thank Cui Jue on their behalf.”
Cui Jue laughed out loud and said, “Why be polite among ourselves… We are family and shouldn’t speak courteously. Furthermore, these brave men will bee the core strength of Earth’s defense. While the Emperor is not around, I must stay in Fengdu City. Giving them handy weapons to kill more enemies on the battlefield is my way of helping the Earth.”
The power and foundation of the Underworld Palace can’t pare to the Heavenly Court.
Moreover, the past big battle led to the fall of “Emperor Dongyue”, a top-tier powerhouse. The Ten Grand Guardians under Emperor Dongyue reincarnated one after another and only “Marshal Meng” has returned so far.
The netherworld is currently chaotic.
The Underworld Palace has difficulty deploying forces to assist Earth.
Xu Yang didn’t mind.
He was chatting with Lord Cui amiably.
Soon.
All thirty-eight Ghost Immortals pleted their breakthrough, and flew over one after another.
No.
Now, they should be called “heavenly immortals”.
