Chapter 1269 - 970: The Ability of the 8th Uncle_3
"I’m so sleepy, I’m going to bed now. Good night, Eighth Aunt, Sister Yao Ruo."
Then she returned to her room.
Lying in bed, Suisui tossed and turned, unable to sleep, her mind filled with the image of Ji Youze from just now.
She tried hard to close her eyes and entered the Dream Realm to find Ah Ling.
"Ah Ling, you saw the Power of Reincarnation on Eighth Uncle, didn’t you?"
Ah Ling appeared in front of her, a young girl of about eleven or twelve, with a face full of old-fashioned maturity.
"I just noticed it. Before, I suspected there was something special about your uncle, but I didn’t expect Eighth Uncle to have such a background!"
"My Eighth Uncle, he..."
How could the supreme power of one of the Ten Kings of Hell, the Wheel King, appear on a mere mortal boy?
Suisui couldn’t make sense of it.
Ah Ling was indeed solemn-faced.
"There is something that, because Master is young and has never been to the Underworld, you do not know. The Wheel King had an incident over three thousand years ago and has been in seclusion ever since!"
Suisui blinked.
"What does this have to do with my Eighth Uncle?"
"Everyone says there was a problem with the Wheel King’s cultivation, so he seems not to be in the Underworld.
However, because of the Wheel King’s great influence, he has many loyal ghost generals guarding his Palace, preventing others from approaching, so no one has discovered that he is actually not in the Underworld."
Suisui was a bit flustered.
"Ah Ling, don’t tell me, my Eighth Uncle is..."
"This is just my speculation, but I don’t know the specifics.
Master, your Eighth Uncle, though a mortal body, possesses the Power of Reincarnation; there must be a reason for this."
Upon hearing this, Suisui sighed, "My Eighth Uncle seemed like a different person today. I always felt that he was provoked because Guard Xiao said something about Eighth Aunt!"
"Master, you can’t manage all the affairs of mortals. Your main task now is to unblock the Array of Heaven!"
When Ah Ling said this, she hadn’t meant to emphasize it, but after she finished, she suddenly realized something and quickly added.
"Actually, there’s no rush. Master is still young; you can do it when you grow older!"
Once the Array of Heaven is unblocked, Master’s task will be complete, and she will have to return to that cold, emotionless place.
How cruel is that?
"If you hadn’t mentioned it, I’d forgotten. I’ll ask Grandfather if the bones and Essential Souls of the Black Tortoise and White Tiger have been found. Grandmother’s health is failing; unblocking the Array of Heaven sooner to reunite Grandfather and Grandmother is the real priority!"
Hearing this, Ah Ling looked at her with pity and asked.
"Master, there’s no need to rush. You can enjoy a few more years of happiness with your loved ones before unblocking it. After all, this world has been sealed off for thousands of years, so it won’t matter if it takes another year or two!"
Suisui shook her head, "Grandmother can’t wait. What if there’s a way to save her when the realms are connected?"
"Actually, saving your Grandmother isn’t too difficult. Refine the Elixir of Immortality, though it’s a defiant object, hard for anyone to succeed in refining."
Suisui said, "Grandmother’s lifespan is set. If someone really wants to save her, they would need to trade a life for a life."
Ah Ling widened her eyes.
"Master, you wouldn’t be thinking?"
"No, you’ve misunderstood."
"Ah..."
"Enough of that. I want to take a trip down Huangquan Road to figure out what’s going on with Eighth Uncle."
Ah Ling nodded.
"Yes! Ah Ling will open Huangquan Road right away!"
A whirlpool appeared in the Lotus Pond, and Suisui jumped in directly, then crossed the Wangchuan River and arrived at the Naihe Bridge.
The ghost messenger saw her and was momentarily surprised.
"A living soul? Strange, that’s two living souls in Wangchuan within the past year. Could something have happened in the Human Realm?"
"Little one, where are you from?
Why would a living soul appear here?"
Suisui shook the Soul-Calling Bell in her hand.
The ghost messenger, seeing the Soul-Calling Bell in her hand, widened his eyes and hurriedly said.
"The Master of the Wangchuan’s owner!
No wonder you, a living soul, can safely reach this Naihe Bridge!"
The ghost messenger shivered slightly, speaking softly.
"Is this the Underworld?
It’s not what I imagined!"
Suisui looked at the souls bustling around, all shrouded in thick mist, quite different from the Underworld depicted in storybooks, her eyes filled with curiosity.
"Oh, those stories from the human world are just fabrications.
Our Underworld is actually much more comfortable than the human world!
What brings you to open the Huangquan Road and visit the Underworld?"
The ghost messenger’s question had just been asked when several figures flew over from a distance and landed beside them.
