Chapter 46
Such a terrifying Fierce Ghost, yet Li Yi actually told her that it was one of their own.
Wu Qian opened her mouth, but for a moment, she didn’t know what to say.
It seemed that even Master Chen from Mount Longhu might not be able to make a Blood-clad Ghost submit.
She carefully observed the Blood-clad standing before her, and she could imagine just how immense the power hidden beneath that beautiful form was.
How did Li Yi manage to do it?
This question couldn’t help but arise in her heart.
In fact, Li Yi himself didn’t know the answer. When he subdued Zhang Na, his strength was nowhere near as formidable as it was now.
Facing the Blood-clad, although he wouldn’t have been killed instantly, he was far from having the power to fight back.
Perhaps it was because he had avenged Zhang Na’s deep-seated grudge.
Although Zhang Na had become a Blood-clad Ghost, she had been targeted by Wu Hao, this Evil Cultivator, even before she turned into a ghost. After her death, she was entered into the Ghost-Sealing Scroll, and even after becoming one of the most terrifying types of Fierce Ghosts in this world, she still couldn’t escape the scroll’s control.
It wasn’t until Li Yi arrived that she regained her freedom.
“This classroom feels familiar to me, but I can’t recall where I’ve seen it before.”
Zhang Na looked at the classroom, her eyes filled with confusion, as if she was lost in some memory.
“Take your time and think. You can do it.”
Li Yi wasn’t in a hurry. After all, the Fierce Ghosts had already been dealt with. It was just a classroom-could it possibly jump out and attack him?
Because of Zhang Na’s appearance, a bunch of lecherous viewers in the Live Streaming Room became excited in the barrage.
[“Could the male viewer surnamed Li please step aside? Don’t block our view of the Streamer’s peerless beauty.”]
[“What’s going on in this Live Streaming Room? The Streamer isn’t talking, and now the assistant is hogging the camera.”]
[“Where’s the moderator? Moderator, please remove this Li fellow. He’s seriously affecting our viewing experience.”]
[“I’m new here. Is the Streamer the beautiful lady in red at the back?”]
These old perverts.
Li Yi’s face was covered in black lines as he read the comments.
“I remember now.”
At this moment, Zhang Na finally recalled the memories related to the ‘classroom’ before her.
“After I died, I was drawn by a mysterious force to a tall building. The aura of this classroom is exactly the same as that building.”
How could a building have an aura? That might sound a bit mystical.
But after all the previous weirdness, Li Yi had no choice but to believe that this classroom before him might very well be ‘alive’.
“I remember now, that building had eighteen floors in total.”
Just as Li Yi was about to ask Zhang Na for more details about the building, Zhang Na suddenly had a flash of realization and blurted this out.
Li Yi looked up in astonishment. Eighteen floors-could it be…
[“Ding, you have discovered a fragment of the Underworld scattered in the human world. You decide…”]
[“Option One: Turn around and leave. You will receive all the rewards for this mission.”]
[“Option Two: If I do not enter hell, who will enter the Underworld? Use the Ghost-Sealing Scroll to collect the Underworld Fragment. Mission reward: unlock the System’s Spirit-Constraining Module, rewards doubled.”]
It was actually a fragment of the legendary Underworld!
Li Yi looked at the classroom before him, his eyes filled with wild joy.
Although he didn’t know what use the Underworld Fragment had, he could imagine:
If he could gather all the fragments scattered across the human world, he would be able to restore the former glory of the Underworld.
The existence of the Underworld is a myth that every person of the Hua Nation has known since childhood.
Even though there is no evidence to prove its existence, that doesn’t stop people from holding it in awe.
Even atheists still maintain the attitude of ‘better to believe it exists than not’ when it comes to the Underworld.
There was even a festival on the calendar established specifically for the Underworld-the Ghost Festival.
If he could restore the Underworld with his own hands, regardless of the benefits, it would be an unparalleled achievement.
“System, how do I reclaim the fragments?”
Li Yi took a determined step forward. In this world, the Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts roamed, and humanity was on the brink of peril under the threat of Fierce Ghosts. Perhaps this was all because the Underworld had vanished.
If he could reclaim the Underworld, the human world might return to the peaceful state it had before he transmigrated.
The System didn’t play dead at this critical moment. Instantly, a message appeared before Li Yi’s eyes.
[“Pour all your True Qi into the Ghost-Sealing Scroll… Use the scroll’s power to forcibly imprison it.”]
“Nana, it must be boring for a ghost to be alone inside the scroll. Today, your Brother Li will find you a good neighbor.”
Li Yi glanced at Zhang Na, who was still lost in her memories. Without another word, he threw the Ghost-Sealing Scroll from his waist. As it collided with the classroom, the scroll immediately reacted, rapidly expanding to envelop the entire room.
It seemed as if a confrontation was taking place between the two. Thick waves of Yin energy surged above, and the Ghost-Sealing Scroll was currently at a disadvantage, trembling as if it might be flung away at any moment.
Li Yi didn’t remain idle. He stepped forward and continuously poured his True Qi into the Ghost-Sealing Scroll.
Only then did the Ghost-Sealing Scroll finally stabilize.
Goodness, this thing is practically a bottomless pit.
The System made it sound simple, but Li Yi realized how difficult it was in practice. He poured all sixty years of his Cultivation Base into the Ghost-Sealing Scroll. The sensation was like donating a whole liter of blood at once-his entire body grew dizzy and sluggish.
His forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Was it still not over?
Li Yi gritted his teeth. Was the System really going to screw him over?
All sixty years of his True Qi had been completely poured into the Ghost-Sealing Scroll and the classroom, yet the classroom’s resistance was still fierce. At this rate, not only his True Qi but even his vital essence might be drained dry.
[“What is the Streamer doing? Why is he suddenly fighting with a building?”]
[“He’s gone mad, absolutely mad. This Streamer won’t even spare a house.”]
[The Streamer kills ghosts when he sees them, kills Evil Cultivators when he sees them, and now he’s even killing buildings. Is there anything that can stop this man?]
The viewers in the Live Streaming Room had no idea what Li Yi was experiencing and continued to roast him relentlessly.
“System, tell me the solution!” Li Yi roared in his heart.
What a scam!
Was this really something sixty years of True Qi could solve?
[“The Ghost-Sealing Scroll is still missing a Controller. Host, please make your choice quickly.”]
“What is a Controller?” Li Yi cursed outright. Why couldn’t the System have said so earlier? Now he was almost riding a tiger and unable to dismount.
[“Host can think of it as an Artifact Spirit. Once someone becomes the Controller of the Ghost-Sealing Scroll, they will merge with the scroll that contains the Underworld Fragment.
As more Underworld Fragments are fused, this Controller will become, apart from the Host, the one with the greatest mastery over the Ghost-Sealing Scroll.
Additionally, each time an Underworld Fragment is fused, another Controller must be added to maintain balance.”]
So this really would become a complete Underworld.
Li Yi was surprised. The Underworld had the Ten Kings of Hell, but in his case, it would become the Eighteen Kings of Hell.
“Zhang Na, are you willing…”
“I am.”
Before Li Yi could finish, Zhang Na had already flown into the Ghost-Sealing Scroll.
This girl, I haven’t even said anything yet.
What if it was to send you to your death…
Li Yi’s words stuck in his throat. He hadn’t expected her to trust him so much, making all the lines he’d prepared unnecessary.
