Junior Uncle is too cunning.

After visiting the Yellow Springs Road and the Eighteen Levels of Hell, Li Shundao figured he still had enough time, so he decided to go to the town to learn about life in the underworld.

The City of Dark Moon is also a minister in the Underworld. The city is completely controlled by the Dark Moon Ancestor, who is in the mid-stage of the Golden Immortal realm. In fact, the Dark Moon Ancestor can also be considered the city lord of the City of Dark Moon.

Unlike the human royal court, which adopts centralized rule, the underworld is a city alliance. Each city is presided over by an immortal, and the largest cities are all inhabited by powerful Golden Immortals.

The largest of these cities is the Ten Yama Kings City, which is the office of the ten Yama Kings. It occupies the best location in the underworld, and the ten Yama Kings are all ghost immortals at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, each of whom is comparable to Li Shundao, making Yama Kings City the most prosperous place in the underworld.

Upon entering the City of the Underworld, Li Shundao concealed all his yang energy, not daring to reveal even a trace. For ghost cultivators, too much yang energy would be very harmful, but they also had an instinctive attraction to it. Whether for cultivation or weapon forging, yang energy was a precious cultivation resource.

It should be understood that yang energy is only found in living people, while there are very few living people in the underworld, or even none at all. As for yang energy, it is nothing but a castle in the air, mere empty talk.

The underworld does not allow ghost cultivators to enter the human world, so yang energy has become just a legend, and some ghosts have never even seen it in their entire lives.

Most of the living people who can come to the underworld are immortals who have achieved great cultivation. The underworld generally does not allow those below the Golden Immortal level to enter, as it is too dangerous.

Moreover, the separation of the living and the dead is the right thing to do. If the living and the dead stay together for too long, one of them will inevitably get hurt or even die. If any Tom, Dick, or Harry could enter the underworld at will, the underworld would be in chaos.

Moreover, even powerful Golden Immortals rarely venture into the Underworld. After all, the Underworld has very little spiritual energy and is filled with powerful beings. A slight misstep could lead to death. For the ghost immortals of the Underworld, a living Golden Immortal is no less valuable than a Primordial Spiritual Treasure.

Only by reaching the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm can one have a slight guarantee when entering the Underworld. Even so, no one would be willing to come to the Underworld unless something happens, since, apart from a few rare spiritual creatures, immortals have no need for most things in the Underworld.

As for Li Shundao concealing his aura, it wasn't because he was afraid of being discovered and attracting the attention of the ghost cultivators. Rather, it was because he was afraid that his yang energy would harm the ghost cultivators around him. After all, although ghost cultivators were people who had died once, and naturally born yin spirits were very rare in the underworld, they were still a kind of living being.

Li Shundao could accept the occasional deaths of one or two people, but if it caused large-scale damage, it would be a karmic consequence for him, especially since he was already at the threshold of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top realm. If he was delayed or unable to break through due to karmic shackles, Li Shundao would probably be furious.

Li Shundao walked in the center of the vast city, with ghosts floating around him. Apart from a protective magic array around the city, there were not many houses inside. However, looking at the spirits who didn't even need to walk, Li Shundao understood the difference between this place and the human world.

After all, most of the spirits have died once. Since entering the underworld, they have no concept of sleeping. Even the few houses in the city are only prepared for people who are cultivating in seclusion.

Li Shundao listened to the constant hawking cries that kept circling around him. If he didn't call out to them, they would just keep going around in circles.

Li Shundao picked up a wolf-tooth club ghost weapon with great interest. Although he was not as good at weapon crafting as Chen Fusheng, he was still a master weapon crafter. How could he not see that this was a mid-grade acquired ghost weapon, which was comparable to a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure?

Li Shundao wasn't looking at it because he needed it; after all, he couldn't even use all the innate spiritual treasures he could, let alone an acquired ghost artifact. He was just curious because it was the first time he had encountered one.

Looking at the spiked club covered with ghost patterns, Li Shundao could recognize most of them. After all, apart from the divine patterns used by the Heavenly Court, the Six Paths Pattern could be said to be the most widely circulated script in the prehistoric world.

The six paths of markings are the divine markings of the Heavenly Path, the markings of the Asura Path, the markings of the Human Path, the markings of the Animal Path, the markings of the Ghost Path, and the markings of the Hell Path. Among them, the divine markings and the markings of the Human Path have the largest audience, while the Asura Path, the markings of the Animal Path, the markings of the Ghost Path, and the markings of the Hell Path are mainly used in the Underworld.

In particular, the Asura Dao pattern is entirely the script of the Asura race, just like the human race's script. However, the human script is much more widely spread than the Asura Dao pattern.

The ghost patterns on the spiked club are the most common type of patterns among the people in the underworld. The patterns we see today are not from the past; they are not merely a cultural inheritance but represent a kind of great power.

It is important to know that the Demon Master Kunpeng broke through to the Quasi-Saint realm by creating demon patterns. Later, he was invited to the Demon Court by Emperor Jun, the then Lord of the Demon Court, and was granted the position of Demon Master, a status comparable to that of Donghuang Taiyi, Xihuang Fuxi, and others.

It's important to know that in the primordial world, the positions of Heaven, Earth, Master, Ruler, and Family are highly valued. The Master is ranked ahead of the Human Emperor and family members, which shows how noble the position of Demon Master is.

It can be said that Demon Master Kunpeng was the teacher of the entire demon race. After all, the demon patterns he created made the myriad races, which originally lacked a unified language, instantly have a certain degree of recognition of the demon court.

If demonic runes are already this powerful, then the ghost runes, whose audience is far greater than that of demonic runes, are even more unfathomable.

This spiked club is only engraved with two ghost patterns, "Feng" and "Zhen". There are no formations on the entire club; it relies entirely on the power of the ghost patterns.

Moreover, after careful examination, Li Shundao discovered that the materials used in this ghost weapon, the spiked club, were entirely cold and yin. If such a ghost weapon were placed in the human world, its power would be instantly weakened by three-tenths.

He gently rubbed the ghost patterns on the spiked club with his hand, his eyes filled with curiosity. This power and formation were similar in that they both drew upon the power of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and then added it to the spiritual treasure to unleash even greater power.

Li Shundao returned the spiked club to the ghost cultivator beside him with some regret and continued walking inside. He seemed to have no purpose, but you could still tell from his eyes that he had gained a lot.

Li Shundao mainly studied the divine and human patterns in the Six Paths Patterns. To be honest, he didn't know much about the ghost patterns.

Whether it was because it was the first time he had seen ghost patterns or something else, Li Shundao benefited greatly from just the two ghost patterns, "Feng" and "Zhen". If he had a ghost artifact of innate level, Li Shundao might really be able to break through to the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top realm in one fell swoop.

Thinking of this, Li Shundao couldn't help but think of the three books of Heaven, Earth, and Man. The Heavenly Book, the Investiture of the Gods, and the God-Slaying Whip had already been bestowed by Hongjun upon the disciples of the Jade Void Sect of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable. As for the Earthly Book, the Heavenly Membrane, it was obtained by Zhen Yuanzi, an old quasi-saint of the Primordial World. Moreover, the current Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi's Earthly Immortal Great World was able to evolve into a Great World by borrowing the Earthly Book, and he also became the Ancestor of Earthly Immortals.

The final Book of Life and Death and the Judge's Pen fell into the Underworld and were obtained by Lady Pingxin, who bestowed them upon the current Ten Kings of Hell to handle political affairs. They were essentially no different from the Imperial Seal of the Human Court, and the Book of Life and Death and the Judge's Pen became one of the most precious treasures for suppressing the fortune of the Underworld.

In terms of grade, the Book of Life and Death and the Judge's Pen are only top-grade innate spiritual treasures. However, that is only the ranking in the prehistoric world. If the Book of Life and Death and the Judge's Pen are used in the underworld, they can draw on the power of the underworld. Even compared with innate supreme treasures, their power is definitely not inferior.
