Practice begins with immortality

"Friend, don't be in a hurry to take action. I am different from those two." Seeing Wang Bai kill three people in seconds so casually, Hei Gu's emotions actually fluctuated greatly.

"Ouch!!!!"

Along with the howling of the Meat Mountain, Wang Bo also interfered with its timeline.

After a moment, the Meat Mountain died.

After killing the two creatures, Wang Bai slowly turned his head. His gaze was as cold as a star. He stared directly at the black bones in front of him and asked, "Okay, now it's your turn to explain to me. Tell me, why do you say that you and they are not on the same path?"

Hearing Wang Bo's question, a subtle flicker of nervousness crossed Hei Gu's already gloomy face, but he quickly regained his composure. He raised his head, met Wang Bo's piercing gaze, and replied calmly, "Friend, please be patient. I will answer your questions truthfully. However... this is definitely not the place for conversation."

Before he finished speaking, Heigu suddenly reached out and pulled out a stone bead, completely black and resembling black jade. This stone bead exuded a mysterious and dark aura. Then, without hesitation, Heigu squeezed it hard, and the seemingly invincible stone bead shattered instantly.

As the stone beads shattered, streams of gray air gushed out from the fragments like smoke. These gray air currents quickly spread, completely enveloping Wang Bai and Hei Gu in the blink of an eye. The surrounding light seemed to be swallowed by the gray air currents, becoming dim and blurry.

"That thing is... the Stone of Life and Death from the Underworld! You are—"

"My fellow Skeleton Immortal, I will tell you everything later. But please keep your mouth shut. It's difficult to hide what's happening in this world from that guy."

After hearing Hei Gu's reminder, Lao Gu consciously shut his mouth.

A second later, Wang Bai and Hei Gu arrived at a gray-white space.

"My fellow immortal, welcome to the place between life and death!" As this voice rang out, a strange scene unfolded before my eyes. This was the place between life and death, a mysterious space between life and death.

This unique space was created by the Stone of Life and Death.

The so-called Stone of Life and Death is a special substance originating from the underworld. This stone is categorized into different grades. Generally speaking, the higher the grade of the Stone, the longer the duration of the life and death it creates. Rumor has it that the highest-grade Stone of Life and Death can create a mystical world that exists permanently between life and death. In that world, neither life nor death exists, it can be said to be a truly eternal place. Theoretically, if someone lived in such a place, they could survive forever.

Of course, the Stone of Life and Death that Black Bone held was only the lowest of the many Stones of Life and Death. The life and death created by this Stone of Life and Death could only last for three hours at most. Even so, such a treasure was still a rare and precious item that ordinary people could only come across.

As the two men, one bone at a time, stepped between life and death, an astonishing scene unfolded. The previously pitch-black, fleshless bones began to grow flesh at a visible rate. In just three breaths, a young man with swarthy skin, lustrous black hair, and eyes as deep as a pool of water appeared before Wang Bo.

"My name is Xue Qi, a third-class soldier under the command of Captain Wang Fang." The young man clasped his hands together, bowed slightly, and spoke with a calm expression.

Then, Xue Qi turned to look at Lao Gu and said slowly, "This Skull Brother must be a priest under the command of that Immortal!"

Afterwards, Lao Gu responded to the man and said, "Nice to meet you. My name is Gu Jinling. During my lifetime, I was a priest under the Lord God who was responsible for recording history." After saying that, he turned his gaze to Wang Bai, who had remained silent.

Seeing this, Xue Qi asked again: "Who is this..."

Before he could finish, Wang Bai stepped forward and said in a loud voice, "My name is Wang Mu, and I come from the Tian'a Realm."

When he said this, his expression was a little cold, and he seemed unwilling to talk too much about his own affairs.

Hearing this, Xue Qi couldn't help but smile and said to Wang Baiyan: "Looking at Immortal Wang's expression, it seems that he is reluctant to reveal too much about his origins. But——"

However, before he could finish his words, Wang Bo and Gu Jinling interrupted him at the same time.

First, Gu Jin Ling asked with a look of suspicion on his face, "Are you really someone from the underworld?"

At the same time, Wang Bo frowned and asked, "What exactly is your purpose?"

"Isn't having the Stone of Life and Death enough to prove my origin?" Xue Qi responded calmly.

After hearing this, Lao Gu directly asked, "The Stone of Life and Death is not unavailable outside the underworld. Besides, the one you hold is only the lowest-grade Stone of Life and Death. I obtained many stones of this quality when I was alive!"

Facing Lao Gu's doubts and contempt, Xue Qi did not show any anger. Instead, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he said slowly: "If that's the case, then this ball of fire must be able to fully prove my identity."

Before he finished speaking, he slowly stretched out his right hand. Surprisingly, from the outside, his right hand appeared to be empty. However, at this moment, Wang Bo and Lao Gu, who were standing nearby, both widened their eyes – because in their sight, a strange black-purple flame was burning on Xue Qi's right hand!

Seeing this, Lao Gu trembled and said, "This, this colorless and invisible flame is clearly the Netherworld Fire that only those in the underworld possess! I have only heard of its magical properties from others' descriptions, but I have never seen it with my own eyes."

At the same time, Wang Bo on the other side also had a serious expression on his face. He stared closely at Xue Qi's right hand.

Suddenly, his pupils split in two, as if controlled by a mysterious force. He then muttered to himself, "It seems that without some special means or abilities, it's impossible to detect the existence of this flame."

At the same time, Xue Qi was also sizing up Wang Bo and Lao Gu. "Although only a soul remains of this skull, they were priests under the Immortal in their lifetime. Legend has it that the weakest of them were equivalent to the Five Tribulations. They were masters of the military lieutenant level."

"As for this man, he was born with double pupils, and he has nothing to do with the double-eyed bird. He must be a rare person with double pupils. Apart from that, is he unable to decay his bones?" He thought to himself.

After a while, "I wonder if Immortal Xue has anything to tell me? Also, why are you with those two monsters?"

After confirming Xue Qi's identity, Yirenyigu also asked about his origins.

"I received military orders to join the demons that keep these worlds captive as an undercover agent to gather intelligence and aid the All-Spirit Alliance."

"All Souls Alliance? What is that?"
