Transcending Heavens: My Cheat Code is Myself

In the gloomy, ghostly realm.

A chilling aura emanated from the area, and a faint black mist spread from nearby to distant places, making distant objects appear hazy and reducing the visible range to within three zhang (approximately 10 meters).

Qiu Sheng was completely bewildered. What happened? I was just about to make a quick getaway with my senior brother, how did I end up in this weird place in an instant?

With a wary mind, Qiu Sheng carefully observed his surroundings. Although it was dark, it was different from the night. The faint light was like dusk, not so dark that one could not see their own hand in front of their face.

He secretly squeezed the three Soul-Scattering Talismans in his sleeve. Feeling the rough texture of the talisman paper, Qiu Sheng breathed a slight sigh of relief. As long as he still had the Soul-Scattering Talismans in his hand, it wouldn't be a problem to hold out for a while. After all, he had personally experienced the power of these talismans.

Suddenly, the oil-paper umbrella on Qiu Sheng's back shook and struggled. Seeing this, Qiu Sheng quickly opened the umbrella, and a beautiful young woman jumped out from it.

"What's wrong, Miss Zhang?" Qiu Sheng asked as he approached Zhang Cuihua, who had come out without saying a word.

"It's nothing, young Taoist priest. I feel something strange here. It seems like all the shackles have disappeared, and..." Zhang Cuihua reached out and summoned several streams of yin energy. Her slightly ethereal body immediately became much more solid. "It's as if I've regained my physical body here."

Zhang Cuihua's voice carried a hint of surprise, and Qiu Sheng was also delighted to hear this, "That's wonderful."

After all, this place looked eerie and was definitely not a good place, but he happened to have a ghost by his side, which was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune. Where people were needed, he was there, and where ghosts were needed, Miss Zhang was there. Watching Miss Zhang's long eyelashes blink and her face gradually become rosy, like a fresh red apple, Qiu Sheng felt that his current situation was not so bad after all.

"Jie Jie Jie Jie!"

Suddenly, a chilling laugh echoed from the darkness.

Ding Ling clang!

A black chain suddenly shot out from the darkness, like a black lightning bolt, instantly piercing Zhang Cuihua's soul and then passing through her body several times. Zhang Cuihua was instantly frozen in place, as if a pause button had been pressed, and could only look helplessly at the bewildered Qiu Sheng with pleading eyes.

Qiu Sheng's expression changed drastically. "Who are you? Release Miss Zhang at once!"

"Hehehe! I, the underworld officials, have never heard of releasing someone before. Kid, you're quite brave, aren't you?" A phantom figure appeared beside Qiu Sheng without anyone noticing.

"What? Underworld messengers? Could you be the legendary Ox-Head and Horse-Face?" Qiu Sheng was taken aback. Looking at the red soul in front of him and then at the helpless Miss Zhang, he was caught in a dilemma.

"Cough cough cough!" The underworld official almost choked to death by Qiu Sheng's words. "Of course I haven't reached the level of Lord Ox-Head, Lord Horse-Face, cough cough cough."

"You really don't know how hard it is to get promoted in the underworld. Forget it, why am I telling you all this? Let me give you a piece of advice: humans and ghosts are on different paths. Don't think about those trivial things. Let this girl come with me and be reincarnated peacefully. That's the right thing to do." The underworld official complained for a moment, but a cough came from the darkness in the distance, interrupting him. He immediately stopped and his eyes became serious.

Looking at the other person's expression, Qiu Sheng's lips twitched. He really didn't want to be the boy who understood everything instantly, but unfortunately, he was too experienced. Even though he didn't understand, he understood. That's right, when he was slacking off during his training and his master came, he would immediately become like the other person.

"Get to the point, get to the point..." A whispered murmur came from beside him, and Qiu Sheng was surprised for the first time that his hearing, which was usually so good, seemed to be a little worse.

As expected, the underworld officials on the other side also heard this and coughed twice. "This place has been sealed off by the Underworld. I wonder why you have entered here?"

"Your Honor, we came to Wohu Village to rescue people. The chieftain of Wohu Village is utterly wicked and depraved, abducting women by force. He is shameful, hateful, and despicable. My brothers and I, seeing this injustice, wanted to help our neighbors and rid them of this scourge. But who knew that after arriving at Wohu Village, this place would turn out like this? We brothers are at our wits' end, with nowhere to turn and no way to escape. We really don't know what to do!"

Qiu Sheng spoke with great emotion, tears streaming down his face, his voice hoarse and strained, his reputation for fame...

"That can't be right. There are over a hundred people in Crouching Tiger Stronghold. Are you brothers just going to your deaths?" The underworld messenger hesitated for a moment, then said hesitantly, as if searching for the possibility of Qiu Sheng and his companions defeating the enemy. However, no matter how he thought about it, it seemed that three people fighting against a hundred people was a one-way trip.

"Your Excellency, you may not know this, but my senior brother Chen Feng is born with superhuman strength. He is incredibly strong and has a body of steel that can tear tigers and leopards apart. The Crouching Tiger Stronghold only has a hundred people. Even if there were three or four hundred of them, my senior brother would not be afraid and would take them down in no time!" Qiu Sheng said with a proud and arrogant expression. Anyone who didn't know better would think that he himself could tear tigers and leopards apart.

The underworld official's lips twitched as he listened. What kind of bizarre senior brother was this powerful? How could I be so skeptical? Besides, weren't all those so-called "hundred-man enemies" just sharpshooters? Did you really think the underworld didn't watch the news? He immediately wanted to retort.

"Get to the point, get to the point..." A muttered voice, filled with gritted teeth, suddenly came from afar.

The underworld official's interest instantly turned into a bitter expression. "You brat, do you not understand the point? I'm asking how you got in here. Who cares if your senior brother is born with superhuman strength, has boundless power, a body of steel that can tear tigers and leopards apart, or has earth-shattering cultivation?"

"Huh? Lord Underworld Messenger, we brothers are just as clueless as you are..." Qiu Sheng wasn't pretending to be confused; he genuinely knew nothing. He was just traveling aimlessly when he suddenly found himself here. Faced with the Underworld Messenger's questions, he naturally knew nothing. When asked further, he would just give a blank look and innocent blinks.

The underworld messenger questioned Qiu Sheng for a long time without getting anything out of him. Besides, this messenger wasn't an ordinary person; he was the kind who easily veered off-topic. He started chatting with Qiu Sheng about everyday matters, which happened to be Qiu Sheng's forte. The two never strayed from the topic, and Qiu Sheng didn't seem to mind. However, listening to the increasingly suppressed anger in the distance, he had a feeling that this guy was going to have a bad time when he got back…

"Sigh! I understand." The underworld official looked at Qiu Sheng with pity, and Qiu Sheng even felt that the other party was not only looking at him, but also making a sweeping generalization, pitying the three of them. "You three have kidney deficiency!"

"Kidney deficiency leads to kidney weakness, kidney weakness leads to a lack of Yang energy, and a lack of Yang energy leads to Yin energy gaining the upper hand, thus causing one to fall into the underworld." The underworld official shook his head and gave his imagined explanation.

Qiu Sheng's lips twitched. My new 24k kidneys are already weak before I've even used them? I can't believe you for a second. I can't keep chatting with this idiot underworld official, or I'll feel like my IQ is being infected. So he immediately cupped his hands and said, "Lord Underworld Official, my brothers and I have accidentally fallen into this place and don't know how to escape."

"You can't escape, just wait to die." The underworld official shook his head. "Anyway, you're here to die, so this is a good opportunity to kill yourself. I'll come and take your soul in a bit and send you to be reincarnated."

Qiu Sheng: ? ? ? !

"Does the Underworld Messenger really joke around?" Qiu Sheng's lips twitched.

To everyone's surprise, the underworld official glanced at Qiu Sheng with a disgruntled expression and said, "This is the Tongue-Pulling Hell. Lying will result in the pain of having your tongue pulled out. Who was joking with you?"

After saying that, he quietly disappeared.

Qiu Sheng: Wardfa?! Really?

Qiu Sheng, disregarding everything else, shouted, "I'm 18 centimeters!"

A sharp pain then shot through my tongue...
