I am a ghost messenger, why do I need a long life?

Get up from the ground.

The fat Taoist priest rubbed his face and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

He really didn't expect that his memories of the past would cause him to become so involved that his thinking became confused and he almost got into big trouble.

Although Xu An's slap was effective and had a noticeable effect, he still felt something was wrong. It was probably because he was unhappy about being at a disadvantage...

Feeling a little moved, the fat man took out the Heaven-concealing Divine Stone and exchanged glances with Yang Wei and Xu An.

Understanding each other, the three of them moved together.

"open."

As the voice fell, Yang Wei and Xu An moved at the same time.

After the first experience, the moment he opened it again, Xu An's magic power circulated throughout his body.

An icy-blue light surged up from his body, like a surging river, carrying the power to wash away all things in the world. It suddenly flowed along his hands and slammed down on the heavy bronze machine!

In an instant.

The bronze mechanism, which was originally as hard to move as a mountain, made a crisp clicking sound and pressed down an inch.

But this is not enough!

In order to suppress it all, Xu An would need at least several times the power of this force to do so.

When he thought of this, his mind moved slightly.

Inside the body, the magical power suddenly turned into a unique and ever-changing path and was released onto the ghost's body.

In an instant, five majestic figures like iron towers suddenly gathered in the corridor of the bronze palace.

Five ghosts appeared, each with a different appearance, but all were controlled by Xu An like an arm, suddenly exerting all of their terrifying power.

The bronze machine suddenly expanded to the bottom, making a crisp sound.

Immediately afterwards, on the huge bronze door, countless winding and intertwined formation stripes merged into one, becoming one.

"Boom!"

After a brief silence, countless machines in the palace were operating at full capacity.

The gate deep in the underground palace that no one has set foot on or shaken for thousands of years.

Finally, a gap was opened in front of Xu An, Yang Wei, and the fat Taoist priest.

From that gap, countless bright and soft rays of light seeped out in a manner visible to the naked eye.

Xu An and the others looked at each other, and had a strange feeling as if they were facing the sacred land and the fairyland was right in front of them.

Even if you just look at it, you will have a psychedelic feeling as if you are being contaminated by all kinds of energy and ascending into the sky.

"Be careful, there may be dangerous restrictions inside that we can't imagine."

The fat Taoist priest swallowed his saliva, defended himself with all his strength, and walked in first with the Bagua mirror on his head.

Yang Wei was second, and Xu An was at the end.

The moment the three people stepped into the core of the underground palace, Xu An's entire body was submerged in a colorful glow.

Then, a sweeping feeling that seemed to penetrate deep into his soul swept across his ghostly body.

After a moment, the light in the entire palace dimmed slightly.

Looking up, Yang Wei and the others clearly saw that the scene inside the palace was actually a small world of its own.

Under your feet is a green field with colorful flowers blooming in the gentle breeze.

In the distance, there is a stream, gurgling and making a clear sound that calms the mind.

In the water, you can see more than a dozen bright red fish, leisurely swinging their tail fins.

In the middle, there is a unique ancient tree that looks like Xiuyan jade. It is vigorous and has a thick trunk. Although it is not tall, its scattered branches are like corals, permeated with colorful light, which is magnificent.

Under the tree, cherry red and white petals fell everywhere. They fluttered in the wind and kept turning around the trunk.

In this dreamlike scene, strands of rosy clouds intertwined, revealing a figure with a clear upper body and a ethereal lower body like smoke.

Xu An narrowed his eyes slightly and found that this figure was very similar to the person in the mural.

"After so long, someone has finally set foot in my underground palace. You three are quite interesting."

"One is carrying the secrets, practicing the ancient methods, destroying and then rebuilding."

"One is that the ghost body is focused and the power of will is added to the body, and the future is promising."

"One is pure and spotless, yet possesses a flawed yin, and unfortunately lacks a physical body."

Looking at Xu An, Yang Wei, and the fat Taoist priest, the owner of the underground palace first chuckled, and then commented on each of them.

In an instant, Xu An couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

No wonder he had a strange feeling of being completely seen through the moment he came in.

He is carrying a secret, practicing ancient secret methods, breaking down and then rebuilding. There is no doubt that this person is the fat guy.

The scent of incense only belongs to Yang Wei, so it is obviously him.

Pure and dust-free, it embraces the Yin but has flaws, unfortunately it has no physical body.

This must be referring to himself.

With a slight movement of his mind, Xu An became certain that his idea was correct.

As he is a soul, he has no physical body, so no matter how he practices, there will be flaws in the end.

His ultimate goal should be to overcome the calamity and become an immortal, and to rebuild his body amidst the heavenly punishment!

Beside them, Yang Wei and the fat Taoist priest also couldn't help but feel their hearts beating fast. They narrowed their eyes slightly and their expressions changed when they looked at each other.

Obviously, this comment is concise and to the point, yet it also reveals a huge amount of information.

It can directly point out the problems they are facing at the moment and even the future direction of cultivation!

Thinking of this, Xu An said respectfully:

"Senior, we didn't mean to intrude!"

The tomb owner raised his lips and teeth slightly, his picturesque eyebrows moved slightly, and he smiled and said:

"I don't intend to blame you. After the war, I was deeply wounded. Knowing that my life was coming to an end, I created this underground palace."

"His wish is to wait until the great calamity of the Three Realms comes again in the future, so that it can automatically open and use the power inherited within to help future generations."

"Now that the underground palace has been opened and you are allowed to enter freely, it must be that something unexpected has happened in the Three Realms."

As he spoke, the master of the underground palace looked at the three of them and continued:

"What's happening in the Three Realms now?"

Xu An and Yang Wei looked at each other, wanting to tell each other the news of the collapse of the Huangquan space.

But the fat Taoist priest is here, and it seems inappropriate to reveal the secret just like that.

"Don't look at me, you two ghosts. Something must have gone wrong in the Yin Court, which is why the reincarnation channel of the Three Realms is closed. I'm not a spy as you say. I want to know what happened in the Three Realms, too."

Look at these two guys, it’s almost written on their faces that they are on guard against me.

The fat Taoist wanted to curse.

But he also felt that it was too outrageous and inappropriate to do it in front of the owner of the underground palace, so he could only endure it.

"Well...senior, the story begins a few days ago."

Xu An raised his eyes and roughly recounted how they discovered that the Styx had torn through the barrier and flowed into the human world, and then when they asked Meng Po to take action, she was lured away from the mountain and spies from the three realms destroyed the reincarnation.

"Dark Daozhou... As expected, they've made a comeback..."

Xu An's words seemed to have brought back long-lost memories for the owner of the underground palace.

Although he has passed away for thousands of years, the tragic scene of that year is still vivid in our minds.

Just the memory made him fall into silence for a while, until finally, it turned into a soft sigh.

"Alas... I have already perished, leaving only a remnant of my soul. I am no longer able to care about the affairs of the Three Realms."

"Although none of you are my ideal successors, since you have entered my underground palace, it can be considered a destiny."

"I have three immortal treasures here. You can choose one as a gift. I hope that this item can be of some use in times of crisis in the Three Realms in the future."

As he spoke, the tomb owner gently raised his hand.

Behind him, three dazzling rays of light suddenly flew out from the ancient tree that looked like Yuhua and stopped in mid-air.

Xu An raised his eyes, looked carefully through the brilliant rays of light, and found that these three magic weapons all revealed a terrifying fluctuation.

The one in the center was a battle armor that looked like it was made entirely of divine gold.

It is crystal clear, emitting a myriad of divine brilliance, shining brightly in the void.

The terrifying defensive power emanating from it is like a barrier between heaven and earth, a shackle of the world, and cannot be shaken by anyone other than an immortal.

The one on the left is actually a pair of two floating wings.

Just by looking at it, Xu An noticed that it was emitting a unique power that seemed to be able to cut the sky, tear the earth apart, and cross space.

Faintly, he seemed to see a huge golden-winged roc flying high on the outstretched wings. It only flapped its wings lightly, and thousands of miles of mountains and rivers passed by beneath it.

The third magic sword weapon is even more special. It hovers in mid-air, like a shrinking formation diagram.

Although Xu An could not see its magical effect, the unique feeling that it seemed to be engraved with the heaven and earth and all the laws still permeated it.

If activated, it will definitely be a powerful weapon that can be used for both offense and defense.

As long as it is deployed, whether it is used to fight the enemy or to defend against the enemy, it cannot be shaken by the power of immortals.

The master of the underground palace chuckled as he turned his eyes and saw that the three of them were staring at the magic treasure he had taken out.

With a slight wave of his robe, the light emitted by the three magic treasures slightly converged, and the restrictive barriers on them were directly removed by him.

After finishing this, he raised his eyes slightly, looked at Xu An and the other three, and continued:

"Who will choose first?"

Xu An, Yang Wei, and the fat man looked at each other briefly. Xu An then glanced at Yang Wei and said to the fat Taoist priest:

"Master Dao, I am able to come here entirely because of your talent. It is reasonable that I am the weakest and should go last. Why don't you go first?"

The fat Taoist was slightly stunned. Seeing that Yang Wei didn't seem to have any objection, he hesitated instead.

It wasn't because he was afraid there might be something fishy going on, but because the situation wasn't what he wanted.

If he could take away all three magic weapons at once, he would have jumped at the chance to do so.

But now, I can only choose one of the three magic weapons, which is a dilemma.

No matter how you look at it, he can't bear to part with any of them.

After wearing this fairy gold armor, it will definitely have amazing defensive power. Even if it is an attack from a fairy, it can withstand it. It is a good thing!

He also saw that the pair of wings were essentially made from a divine bird with the bloodline of the Golden-winged Roc clan. As long as he obtained them, he would be able to possess the ultimate speed of heaven and earth.

Except for a very small number of people with profound cultivation and strong strength who could catch up with him, he dug a grave and ran away, no longer afraid of being chased by his enemies.

This is also a good thing.

As for the third one, he also saw that it was a typical life-and-death formation. Once it was activated, it could attack when advancing or defend when retreating.

Whether it is used to trap your enemies or to set up a formation on the spot, protect yourself, and delay time after being forced into a desperate situation, it is a wonderful choice.

He needs all three of these things.

Unfortunately, you can only choose one.

Biting his lips and blinking his eyes, the fat Taoist priest slightly opened his five fingers and moved them back and forth in front of the three magic weapons, unable to make up his mind.

Seeing this scene, the master of the underground palace shook his head slightly and said:

"You are so hesitant, are you dissatisfied with my immortal treasure?"

"Indeed, you are cultivating the ancient ways, not the modern ways. If you take my immortal treasure, it will not be compatible with you. Why not just let it go?"

When the fat Taoist heard this, his eyes widened and he shook his head like a rattle, saying:

"It fits perfectly, how could it not fit? I think this pair of fairy wings is very good and suits me very well."

As he spoke, the fat Taoist quickly grabbed the wings and held them in his arms, saying:

"Thank you for the gift, Senior. This treasure is just right for me."

Perhaps because he hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time, the owner of the underground palace smiled and didn't say much. He just turned to look at Yang Wei and Xu An.

Stepping forward, Yang Wei bowed slightly to the master of the underground palace and said:

"I would like to take this formation. If a great catastrophe strikes the Three Realms someday, this thing can protect the Yin Court of Yangzhou."

Xu An looked at Yang Wei and couldn't help but feel a little admiration for him in his heart.

"it is good."

The master of the underground palace nodded and turned to Xu An and said:

"Then this Immortal Gold Battle Armor will be yours. Remember, this item is primarily for protecting the soul and body. It is most suitable for you, but you have a deficiency in your Yin Qi. You need to improve your strength as soon as possible. Rebuilding your physical body is the right path. Remember this."

Xu An nodded heavily, took the flying Immortal Gold Armor, and said with a bow:

"Thank you, Senior. Xu An has made note of this."

"Xu An..."

While reciting this name, the master of the underground palace continued:

"It's a nice name. I hope you won't forget what I said to you today. I hope you will achieve great things in the future and protect the peace of the three realms."

After finishing all this, the master of the underground palace sighed deeply and said:

"I have set up a test for inheritance. Since the three of you have entered, you have obtained the qualification for inheritance. This inheritance test consists of five levels. You must pass them with the strength of Xiantian, Zifu, Shentai, Chanhua, and Dacheng respectively before you can finally obtain it."

"I will now grant you the mark of inheritance. When you are strong enough, you can come here to challenge me at any time."

After saying this, the master of the underground palace waved his robe lightly, and three rays of light suddenly sank into the eyebrows of Xu An and the others.

In an instant, a unique feeling that seemed to resonate with the entire underground palace arose in Xu An's heart.

It seemed that as long as he concentrated and touched it, he could be instantly teleported to this underground palace.

"Well, from now on, you can step through this door and enter to challenge. My successors, I wish you good luck."

Hearing this, Yang Wei and the fat Taoist priest were both moved as they looked at the extremely deep and challenging door that the master of the underground palace pointed to, leading to an unknown place.

"Master Dao, Lord Yang, you are very powerful, so go ahead and don't wait for me."

Xu An looked at the two people and knew that since they came, they would definitely try and would not just leave like that.

"Well, since you didn't take me, don't force it. Let us explore the way for you!"

Yang Wei nodded, and he and the fat Taoist priest passed through the door one after another and disappeared.

After they both left, Xu An turned to look at the owner of the underground palace and asked what he wanted to know most.

"Senior, may I ask the Three Realms what exactly happened back then? Why did the Dark Dao State and the Three Realms go to war?"
