Chapter 636 - 630: Entering the Underworld
Lin Yuan recalled that, before the Yin Celestial Son eternally suppressed the Underworld, he had told Lin Yuan the method to enter the Underworld.
As long as he called out the name of the Yin Celestial Son three times, the Ghost Gate would manifest.
Once the Ghost Gate manifested, entering the gate would allow one to meet the Yin Celestial Son.
"Yin Celestial Son, Yin Celestial Son, Yin Celestial Son!"
Lin Yuan called out three times, and he saw a magnificent Ghost Gate materialize.
This Ghost Gate was almost identical to the one Lin Yuan had previously tattooed on his body.
By ’almost identical,’ it meant the core outline was the same.
The minor differences were just slight discrepancies.
After all, the Underworld depicted by the Yin Celestial Son was not entirely the same as the mythical Underworld.
Once the Ghost Gate appeared, Lin Yuan said to the Peacock Great Ming King, "Father-in-law, let’s go!"
With these words, Lin Yuan and the Peacock Great Ming King entered the Underworld one after the other.
...
...
The Underworld.
The deepest part.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation.
The Evil Corpse Yin Celestial Son of Lin Yuan was constantly guarding the Six Paths of Reincarnation at this time.
Now is the time when the Underworld is newly established, and the Six Paths are unstable.
Especially at such a time, maintaining the stability of the Underworld’s reincarnation is crucial.
Previously, how the living reincarnated after death was unknown, but since Lin Yuan’s Evil Corpse set up the Underworld and became the Yin Celestial Son,
whether from the Mysterious World or the Real World, souls, upon death, would all return to the Underworld.
Those who could directly reincarnate would be sent to the Six Paths of Reincarnation for reincarnation.
Of course, now the Six Paths of Reincarnation are incomplete, and only reincarnations from both the Mysterious World and Real World are possible.
As for where one reincarnates, it is entirely random.
After all, the Mysterious World and Real World are bound to eventually merge, and it doesn’t really matter where reincarnation occurs.
As for those who committed evil deeds in life and need punishment before reincarnation, they will be sent to the Eighteen Layers of Hell to be purged of wickedness before being reborn.
With the Yin Celestial Son eternally suppressing the Underworld, no chaos would arise even though the Underworld was newly established.
Six Paths of Reincarnation.
The Yin Celestial Son, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes.
He first heard Lin Yuan’s call and opened the Ghost Gate for him.
Subsequently, he sensed Lin Yuan and the Peacock Great Ming King entering through the Ghost Gate.
The Yin Celestial Son willed a black hole to appear in front of him, and in no time, the two Yin Generals, Ox Head and Horse Face, emerged from the black hole and appeared before the Yin Celestial Son.
"Ox Head and Horse Face pay respects to the Yin Celestial Son!" Ox Head and Horse Face knelt down respectfully.
The Yin Celestial Son glanced at Ox Head and Horse Face and commanded, "The master has arrived, go to the Ghost Gate and escort the master here."
"Yes, my lord!" Ox Head and Horse Face bowed in unison to take the order.
Since the Yin Celestial Son was Lin Yuan’s Evil Corpse, all the Netherworld Yin Spirits had to address Lin Yuan as ’master.’
...
...
After Lin Yuan and the Peacock Great Ming King entered through the Ghost Gate, they continued along the Yellow Springs Road.
Along the way, the path was lined with endless fields of Other Shore Flowers, blooming brilliantly.
However, Lin Yuan and the Peacock Great Ming King were not there to admire the flowers; they were on official business.
"Lin Yuan, do you even recognize the way?" The Peacock Great Ming King asked with a face full of disbelief.
When they first entered the Ghost Gate, Lin Yuan was confident, telling the Peacock Great Ming King that he would feel at home in the Underworld, having everything arranged perfectly.
But seriously, who gets lost on the way to their own home?
Lin Yuan had already taken the Peacock Great Ming King down several wrong paths.
"Ahem!" Lin Yuan awkwardly said, "I know a bit, I know a bit!"
Lin Yuan had never been to the Underworld!
He had claimed to know the way based on the map (tattoo) on his body.
The main issue is that the map (tattoo) he had was from an older version, and the current version has been updated.
"Damn it!"
"The Yellow Springs Road on my tattoo was a straight path. Why are there so many forks now?" Lin Yuan was scratching his head anxiously.
Condensing a world into a map invariably omits details.
Lin Yuan was now lost in these details.
Just as the friendship boat between the Peacock Great Ming King and Lin Yuan was about to capsize, two burly men appeared on the road ahead.
These two burly men had heads of an ox and a horse.
Seeing Ox Head and Horse Face, Lin Yuan felt as though he had seen saviors.
Lin Yuan quickly turned to the Peacock Great Ming King and said, "My Evil Corpse must be diligent, probably building new roads in the Underworld. That’s why I’m lost."
"But it’s not a problem; up ahead is Ox Head and Horse Face. I know them, and they’re locals, so we’ll just ask them for directions!"
Hearing Lin Yuan’s explanation, the Peacock Great Ming King rolled his eyes at Lin Yuan in exasperation.
The Peacock Great Ming King thought to himself, how did his daughter fall in love with such a braggart?
While they were speaking, Ox Head and Horse Face had already approached Lin Yuan and the Peacock Great Ming King.
Before Ox Head and Horse Face could speak, Lin Yuan asked them, "Do you recognize me?"
"We do, we do."
"Master, you are the master!" Ox Head and Horse Face quickly responded.
Recognize me?
It seems the Evil Corpse Yin Celestial Son has introduced me to his subordinates.
Recognizing me makes things easier.
"I want to find the Yin Celestial Son; which way do I go?" Lin Yuan asked.
Upon hearing Lin Yuan’s question, Ox Head and Horse Face quickly replied, "Master, we were ordered by the Yin Celestial Son to come and escort you."
Lin Yuan, with pride, said, "See, they’ve come to pick us up?"
The Peacock Great Ming King gave Lin Yuan a sidelong glance, not bothering to engage further.
Seeing that the Peacock Great Ming King ignored him, Lin Yuan had no choice but to say to Ox Head and Horse Face, "Alright, you two lead the way."
With those words, Ox Head and Horse Face exchanged a glance.
"Moo."
"Neigh."
After a cow’s moo and a horse’s neigh, Ox Head and Horse Face transformed into an ox and a horse, appearing in front of the two.
"What does this mean?" Lin Yuan asked.
Horse Face replied, "Master, since you are living beings and burdened with a physical body, you can’t move quickly in the Underworld."
"If you continue walking like this, it will take ages before you reach the Six Paths of Reincarnation and meet the Yin Celestial Son."
"Ride on us, and we’ll carry you; it will only take the time of a cup of tea to reach the Six Paths of Reincarnation."
With a physical body, you can’t walk fast in the Underworld?
Then how did the monkey in the myth....
Lin Yuan thought for a moment, yes, the monkey’s spirit was also summoned away.
When the monkey later entered the Underworld, it was also with an out-of-body spirit.
It seems that even in the Underworld, I am subject to its rules!
"Father-in-law, will you ride the ox or the horse?" Lin Yuan asked.
In such matters, one must understand respect for elders.
Without another word, the Peacock Great Ming King mounted the horse, kicked its side, and Horse Face galloped at lightning speed.
"So fast!" Lin Yuan couldn’t help but praise.
Seeing Lin Yuan’s admiration for Horse Face, Ox Head said to Lin Yuan, "Master, climb on and hold onto my horns; our speed isn’t slow either."
