Pei Xuanjing obtained this page of the Netherworld Book from the Fair Prince.
When he got the Netherworld Book, the simulator detected that if he could refine this page of the Netherworld Book, he could gain a hundred thousand Tao points.
A hundred thousand Tao points was undoubtedly a tremendous wealth for Pei Xuanjing, which could sustain him for two life simulations.
Thus, he chose to go into closed-door cultivation at this time, hoping to refine the Netherworld Book in a short period and thereby enhance his strength.
After more than two months of closed -door cultivation, Pei Xuanjing finally refined this page of the Netherworld Book, receiving a hundred thousand Tao points.
Yet, Pei Xuanjing’s benefits from this closed-door cultivation weren’t mere Tao points. The information he gleaned after refining the Netherworld Book was immensely beneficial, and his perception of this world became clearer.
The Netherworld Book was a cultivation skill, a treasured artifact with strange effects, a wonder indeed.
Indeed, it was a wonder born from the Blessed Land’s Forbidden Place or a prized treasure from the higher-dimensional Forbidden Place’s Cave Heaven.
The underworld has existed for a long time, even longer than the Great Ming Dynasty. It seems that, since recorded history, there has always been an underworld.
Everybody knows that the figures in the underworld use the names of legendary ghosts and gods as their codenames, like the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu, the Ten Halls of Yama, the Judge, and the Soul Hooking Emissary.
But why is the underworld called the underworld, and why do these people use these code names?
The reason is simple: the underworld truly exists.
The Netherworld Book came from the underworld; if someone could gather various Netherworld Books and refine them, they would achieve immense power, control life and death, and even gain immortality.
This is the true secret of the underworld.
“Netherworld Book, a wonder.” Pei Xuanjing mutters to himself.
From this information, he quickly figured out something and made a bold speculation in conjunction with some legends.
In the legends, the gods of the underworld are considered part of the realm of ghost gods. According to the Taoist School’s Five Immortals’ classification, they should also be part of the Immortal lineage.
Immortals concede divine authority through their Immortal body and seek the Immortal Path through their divine form. They control the Heavenly Authority and comply with the Way of Heaven and Earth. As long as they don’t lose their authority, Immortals won’t perish.
Refining the Netherworld Book, controlling the lifespan of all beings, existing for an eternity in this world, achieving immortality.
How incredibly similar these two things are.
“The wonders from the Blessed Land’s Forbidden Places can help one leap into the heavens in one go. Without the corresponding wonders, one cannot progress. Is this not a path where authority constantly expands and ascends?” Pei Xuanjing thought to himself.
At that moment, Pei Xuanjing had an epiphany and began to suspect the existence of wonders in Blessed Land’s Forbidden Places.
“No, something is not right.” Pei Xuanjing quickly dismissed this idea and a new thought took hold in his heart.
The existence of Blessed Land’s Forbidden Places should not be so. Judging by the wonders produced from them, they represent a different authority, symbolizing another path to becaming immortal.
Earth Immortal!
Yes, it is the Earth Immortal!
Those who are Earth Immortals evolve the Blessed Land into Cave Heaven, transforming their bodies into a myriad of beings. The masses are of one heart, using the Blessed Land as their foundation, advancing the world into a multi-universe.
If the Immortals are continually refining and expanding Heavenly Authority, then the Earth Immortals are continually upgrading their Blessed Land’s Forbidden Places.
This way, it explains why the wonders from the Blessed Land’s Forbidden Places bring different effects.
The wonders from the Blessed Land’s Forbidden Places are actually a kind of authority. However, they do not represent the true Heavenly Authority; they are more closely related to the authority of the Blessed Land and Cave Heaven.
When a Martial Artist refines a wonder from a lower- level Blessed Land’s Forbidden Place, their path is set. From then on, they can only walk the Earth Immortal Path.
They need to advance their Forbidden Places to enhance their strength.
Or, they can do as the people in the Jianghu do now, looking for a suitable wonder produced from the Forbidden Places to improve their strength.
This is actually a kind of veiled plundering, plundering other Forbidden Places to nourish oneself and achieve advancement.
At this moment, all the doubts in Pei Xuanjing’s mind were cleared.
“What a pity, I can’t activate this page of the Netherworld Book at the moment,” Pei Xuanjing said regretfully.
He tried to circulate his True Qi and Blood Qi, hoping to stimulate the page of the Netherworld Book in his hand.
However, for some unknown reason, he couldn’t activate that page.
He put down the Netherworld Book and had a thought, “Perhaps, I sholuld try to break through to the first grade realm first, then attempt to refine a wonder from one of the Blessed Land’s Forbidden
Although he had obtained a wonder, he had not yet truly refined it apart from the Tao points within it.
Given the current situation, an idea of trying began to rise in his heart. Once this idea formed, it was hard to quell.
However, Pei Xuanjing remained cautious. He would wait until he had advanced to the first-grade realm before attempting to refine one, or to find a wonder produced from the highest level of the Forbidden Place. This way, he could avoid many risks.
“I have gained a lot from this,” Pei Xuanjing thought.
Regardless of what had happened in this world or whether the gods and immortals in the legends had existed.
The information granted by this page of the Netherworld Book was enlightening. It showed him the path forward; at least he was no longer lost and had found a direction.
Moreover, if the Road to Longevity truly exists for Immortals and Earth Immortals, then according to the division of Taoist School, there are five types of Immortals. What about the remaining three
What about the Heavenly Immortal Way, the Path of Human Immortal, and the Path of Ghost Immortal?
Pei Xuanjing believed that if the Road of Longevity for Immortals and Earth Immortals existed, then the other three types must exist as well.
“I still know too little about this world. Perhaps the long-established major forces have more records of information.” Pei Xuanjing thought to himself.
In that case, he needed to expedite his visit to Taihe Mountain.
The pursuit of longevity is incredibly appealing to everyone.
Since Pei Xuanjing came to this world and was now able to access these things, how could he willingly miss out?
There might be many bones littering the Road of Longevity, but he would rather die trying to achieve immortality than to die a mediocre death.
With the help of the life simulator, Pei Xuanjing believed that he would definitely forge his own Road of Longevity.
Calming his turbulent emotions, Pei Xuanjing focused on the life simulator, preparing to initiate the next life simulation.
Originally, Pei Xuanjing needed to accumulate enough Tao points to initiate another life simulation, which would take at least several high-grade martial studies or half a year’s time.
However, the page of the Netherworld Book he received from the Fair Prince solved his urgent need.
[Tao Points: 131,158 points.]
[Do you want to use the life simulator? Each use consumes 50,000 Tao points.]
