Chapter 629 - Emperor-level Skill —【Six Soul Banner】

Zhong Yue mulled, sneaking into Hell and tampering with the Book of Life and Death? That was easier said than done!

Furthermore, he had absolutely no idea of Hell, how should he sneak in? What danger was there?

The Hell was a heavily guarded location of the Six Paths Reincarnations, it wasn’t some random place one could easily stroll into!

There would be sentinels stationed everywhere, not even gods would be able to stir any trouble there!

Where is the place? What is the environment like? How can I sneak in? Where can I find the Book of Life and Death? What dangers are there? How should I get out?

Questions flowed through Zhong Yue’s mind, each of which was crucial enough to cause his death if he didn’t know the answer to them!

Bi and An proposed a feasible idea, yet at the same time, a deadly one!

However, Bi and An had been Deity Emperors for their past 98 lives, if they had proposed the plan, they would have already taken every necessary precaution .

“The Book of Life and Death is not a single book as it is often rumored to be . In truth, every race in the universe has their own Book of Life and Death; and in this Six Paths World, there are over 600 million Books of Life and Death in total, all classified under six volumes . ”

An explained, “Heaven, Earth, Celestial, Myriad, Elemental, and Prison—These six volumes recorded the name, origin, sins, deeds, benefactions, and many other details of every single living being in their respective realms . Those who rendered good deeds will enjoy a better life in the next reincarnation, and those who committed evils will be punished . Thus, the Book of Life and Death is also known as the Book of Sins and Merits . All six volumes are well-guarded in the hands of six individuals . Of these six guardians, the one protecting the Prison Realm’s Book of Life and Death is the weakest; thus, there is a slim chance of success . ”

Bi nodded and continued, “The Prison Realm is a cage to imprison the evil ones so they would suffer eternally . It’s a blindspot to those in power to think that someone would actually add their name into the Prison Realm’s Book of Life and Death . However, danger is inevitable when trying to enter the Hell . The presence of any gods in Hell will trigger the alarm, and the guardians will exterminate the intruders immediately . That’s why, only Qi Practitioners can go . ”

“But the guardians of Hell can easily notice the weak Qi Practitioners and kill them on the spot . ” An said, “Fortunately, we have been given some items that can allow you to enter under the guise of a Hell guardian . That way, you should be able to sneak into Hell and find the Prison Realm’s Book of Life and Death . You can even dictate your own merit points and give yourself countless benefits!”

“If it’s really that good, then why didn’t you brothers do it?” Shi Buyi suddenly asked .

Bi and An exchanged a look, they smiled, “We did plan to do it . But since Junior Martial Brother Zhong is going to the Hell now, we can only give up our chance for him . However in return, we need Junior Martial Brother Zhong to complete our goal for us . Junior Martial Brother Zhong, do consider our suggestion . ”

Jun Sixie silently messaged Zhong Yue through her psyche, “Junior martial brother, don’t do it! We will find another way!”

Qiu Jin’er also said, “Senior martial brother, I sense great danger in this proposal . ”

Rays flashed across Old Man Six Paths’s eyes, “Be careful!”

Shi Buyi shook his head, “There must be some sort of trickery in their words! They don’t look like good people . ”

Zhong Yue hesitated before answering all of them, “I don’t feel like they are bad at all . Think about it, with their power, strength, and Granny Shan; if they really did want to kill us, we’d already be dead . They look quite benevolent, and…”

Jun Sixie nearly went crazy and she shouted with her psyche, “Would the bad guys tattoo “I am a bad guy” on their faces? Junior martial brother, you need to stop being so naive with strangers!”

Zhong Yue contemplated her words for a few seconds, he raised his head and looked straight into Bi’s and An’s eyes as he asked them, “What do you need me to do?”

Bi’s and An’s eyes brightened up, and they answered in unison, “In Hell, there is a place where only those who’ve committed crimes and sins unforgivable by the world will be held captive . They will be imprisoned in their cell for until their soul dies . There, you will find a senior with a tattoo “I am a bad guy . ” on his face, we just need you to free him . ”

I am a bad guy? Jun Sixie was bewildered, Did they hear our conversation? No, no, although they were Deity Emperors in their past lives, their cultivation in this life is not much greater than me, they can’t possibly eavesdrop on our conversations . Then, does this mean there is really someone who tattooed ‘I am a bad guy . ’ on his face? How is that possible?

Zhong Yue was also stunned and amused at this odd turn of events .



“I need to know everything about Hell, its environment, faction structure, geological features, the guardians, the changes of shifts, I need all the information you have . ” Zhong Yue said solemnly .

An laughed, “They are all ready for you . We have prepared equipment for two, other than Junior Martial Brother Zhong, is there anyone who intends to accompany him?”

“No, none shall follow . I will go alone!” Zhong Yue said decisively .

All of a sudden, a pair of hand curled around his arm as Qiu Jin’er said, “I will go with senior martial brother, we can take care of one another . ”

But Jun Sixie shook her head, “Junior martial sister, it’s a very dangerous trip, I will go with Junior Martial Brother Zhong, you stay . ”

Bi scrutinized the two ladies from head to toe, and he abruptly said, “Bring her . ”

He raised his finger toward Qiu Jin’er, something that puzzled Jun Sixie, since he was essentially choosing her weaker junior martial sister over her .

Then, Bi explained, “You may be stronger in the conventional sense, but her spirit is stronger than yours . In Hell, it is the spirit that dictates one’s strength, and her spirit is already on the brink of awakening while yours isn’t . ”

An nodded, “We’ve chosen Junior Martial Brother Zhong exactly because of his Sun Moon Twin Spirits . In Hell, that will grant him immense power, and he would even single-handedly defeat the two of us there . In addition to this young girl, they will be able to overcome most of the guardians . ”

Rendered no choice, Jun Sixie could only nod and accept .

Meanwhile, Zhong Yue asked, “What do you mean when you said the spirit dictates one’s strength in Hell?”

Bi and An looked at one another, they nodded and their psyche abruptly burst out into Zhong Yue’s and Qiu Jin’er’s mind as they transfered their knowledge of Hell to them . They said, “The young lady is just a hair’s breadth away from awakening her Innate Wood Spirit . Once awakened, her strength will bloom . However, there is no star in the Prison Realm that is compatible with the Innate Wood Spirit, Thankfully, we do have a past life who had the Innate Wood Spirit Body . Granny Shan, lead her to our past Wood Innate Spirit Body and she shall cultivate three days beside it . Regardless of whether she succeeds, she will have to leave for Hell three days later . ”



Granny Shan nodded before taking Qiu Jin’er with her .

“Junior Martial Brother Zhong, what a shame, your Sun Moon Twin Spirits are too rare for us to even provide any guidance . However, even if the young lady’s Innate Wood Spirit has awoken, she would still not be as strong as you . ”

Rays flashed across Bi and An’s eyes, they said, “Junior martial brother, the skills and arts cultivated in Hell are far different than those we know of . They mainly focus in the souls and spirits, allowing them to strike right on our weakest soul and spirit . Some of them even feed on the weaker souls to evolve themselves . Fortunately, we do know a thing or two about the Hell’s cultivation system, so we will make use of these three days and get you accustomed to their skills . ”

“Hell’s skills?” Zhong Yue was curious, he laughed and asked, “Senior martial brothers, you even know about something like that?”

“A little, but our knowledge is still much inferior to the true Hell guardians . Junior Martial Brother Zhong, be careful now!”

Bi suddenly gave a deep groan that sounded as if it came from deep underground, and the groan alone struck Bai Canghai into a swoon while Jun Sixie hobbled on the ground with a pallid face, Shi Buyi bent over while dry retching, and only Old Man Six Paths was struck by a light bout of dizziness .

“This is the【Cry of Soul】 . ” Bi explained . When he saw Zhong Yue completely unaffected by the skill, he couldn’t help but praise in his heart while saying, “The Hell guardians’ version is much stronger than mine . Their【Cry of Soul】can shudder even one’s soul, cleaving the soul and spirit . ”

An was also shocked, “Junior Martial Brother Zhong, your soul is really strong . But you still have to be careful . A Qi Practitioners’ biggest weakness is their relatively weak soul, you mustn’t take the【Cry of Soul】lightly . ”

Zhong Yue was puzzled, he did not feel even a single thing in the exchange . However, seeing the reactions of his companions, it seemed like the【Cry of Soul】was nothing to sneeze at .

Little did they know that Zhong Yue’s soul was even stronger than his Sun Moon Twin Spirit; even though Bi’s【Cry of Soul】was strong, it couldn’t affect him even by the slightest .

With a thought, a metal chain dark like black ink whipped out from An into Zhong Yue’s psyche ocean, and he said, “This is the【Soul Shackler】! If your identity is exposed, the Ox-Heads will pin you down and capture your soul . They never miss their targets!”

Krong—



The metal chain crashed on Zhong Yue’s forehead and a loud noise resounded their ears, but it couldn’t penetrate through his mortal body .

Bi and An were shocked, while Bai Canghai laughed and said, “Did you cast the wrong skill?”

The metal chain was whipped out again and this time, it was cast on Bai Canghai . With a slight pull, Bai Canghai’s soul was dragged out of his body and the young cultivator fainted yet another time .

An quickly returned Bai Canghai’s soul to his body, and as soon as he woke up, Bai Canghai made an internal vow to not open his mouth anymore .

“Junior Martial Brother Zhong, what kind of medicinal pellet did you eat? How is your soul so strong?” An frowned and asked .

Zhong Yue shook his head in obliviousness .

Bi and An exchanged a look, they asked, “Then, try this!”

The two yelled and countless totem patterns flew out from their body forming into a huge banner . On the banner, the totem patterns formed the Six Path Wheels and they waved the banner toward Zhong Yue!

Zhong Yue muffled a groan, he could finally feel his soul fluttered slightly by the banner and he asked in shock, “What skill is this?”

“The【Six Soul Banner】 . ” Bi and An’s face changed drastically, they mumbled despondently, “An emperor-level skill, a chief judge imparted it to us to repay the deed we have done . Even we have to gather our strength together to cast it…”

“The【Six Soul Banner】, it is truly strong . ” Zhong Yue praised .

Bi and An exchanged a look and thought, How in the world did he cultivate such a strong soul? His soul is almost on par with the Hell judges!
