After being exiled for eighteen years, the prince returned to the capital as a veritable immortal.

"Soon-"

Meng Tian and Meng Yi watched as "themselves" walked out of their bodies.

Pulled by the Black and White Impermanence, it was completely separated from its body.

So this is what it means to go to the underworld after death?

The two were reluctant to part and looked back.

The loyal men's men mustered their courage and slowly moved forward.

Seeing that Zhou Yi did not object, his men fell to the ground and bowed to the two corpses.

As for the two people standing just inches away, they treated them as if they were invisible, completely ignoring them.

"Ugh!"

The two sighed inwardly.

Having been sealed and hidden away by Emperor Ying for over three thousand years, he was just about to unleash his full potential and make great strides.

Who would have thought that he would die before he could even achieve his goal?

The blood of the two corpses, that of the terrestrial immortals, flowed out and was quickly absorbed by the bluish-black rocks.

The green mountains and perilous passes seemed to burst into joyful celebration.

Hu Die, sitting cross-legged on the rock, clearly showed delight on his handsome face, as if refining it would be easier now.

As the spiritual energy of the two corpses rapidly faded, the massive amount of spiritual energy within them returned to nature.

Dust to dust, dust to dust.

"Let's go."

"Black Impermanence urged again."

He deeply understood the reluctance people feel after death.

The Meng brothers were both easygoing people, and they turned around and followed the Black and White Impermanence towards the border.

Death is inevitable; dwelling on it further is pointless.

The underworld mentioned by the two impermanent beings piqued their interest.

"General Wang... General Wuchang."

Meng Yi carefully chose his address before asking, "After a person dies, shouldn't the soul be unable to withstand the scorching heat of the yang energy?"

Therefore, the soul will soon disappear after leaving the body.

however.

At this moment, the two brothers felt no discomfort under the bright sunshine.

Black Impermanence shook the chain in his hand, and White Impermanence brandished his mourning staff, saying:

"Our two Soul-Seizing Treasures can withstand the torment of Yang Sha."

The Meng brothers nodded.

The soul-snatching chains were attached to the two people, seemingly to bind them.

In reality, it continuously transmits chilling yin energy to shield the two from the corrosive effects of yang energy.

"I wonder what kind of wondrous place the underworld is?"

Meng Tian asked.

In their minds, there was no concept of the underworld.

I've never heard of the underworld or ghost stories since I was a child.

"This underworld is indeed magical."

"It's the Crown Prince Zhou Yi, who's building something with Fairy Butterfly..." Bai Wuchang exclaimed excitedly.

Black Impermanence would occasionally chime in, introducing things as they walked.

Wang Ben and Xiang Bosun were not talkative people.

When it comes to the underworld, there's so much to say.

Upon hearing this, the Meng brothers were full of praise and exclaimed in amazement.

He admired Zhou Yi and Hu Die even more.

Even the hatred he felt for being killed by the other party had lessened considerably.

After all, one can continue to "live" after death.

In their time, they wouldn't have dared to even dream of it.

……

The Black and White Impermanence escorted Meng Tian and Meng Yi away into the distance.

Everyone turned their attention away from Hu Die, who was refining a magical artifact with her eyes closed.

This young lady is truly a capable assistant to His Highness the Crown Prince.

Not only did his cultivation progress at an astonishing speed, but he could also effortlessly handle anything related to death and the soul.

Peach Mountain and Ghost Gate Pass are treasures to everyone.

They wanted to refine it, but had no idea where to begin.

The girl, Hu Die, could refine it as soon as she got her hands on it.

Moreover, judging from the situation, the refining process will be completed in a short period of time.

Given Hu Die's condition, Zhou Yi naturally had to leave behind a protector.

"You, continue on your journey."

He waved to the four of them and instructed them, "Overlord Emperor, protect everyone."

"No, no, no..." The Overlord Emperor waved his hands repeatedly.

At this moment, his face flushed red, a hint of embarrassment on his face, and he said,

"I am merely a general of the Great Qian Dynasty, and cannot be called the Heavenly Emperor."

Today, he was cut in two by the Meng brothers and nearly died.

With the anger in his heart subsiding, he was finally able to clearly understand himself.

As the saying goes, new talents emerge in every generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years.

Three thousand years ago, he rebelled against the tyranny of Emperor Ying, and his cultivation was indeed unparalleled in that dynasty.

however.

Throughout the long river of history, there have been countless generals like him who led an era.

For example, Meng Tian, ​​Meng Yi, Wang Ben, Wang Jian...

These generals were only on par with him in terms of cultivation.

Not to mention this prodigious imperial grandson.

He still hopes the other party can help him realize his dream of living ten thousand years.

The so-called Heavenly Emperor is nothing but an empty title.

The Way of the Overlord Emperor:

"My name is Xiang Yu, also known as the Hegemon-King of Chu. Your Highness may address me by my given name."

"Chu Ba, not bad." Zhou Yi nodded.

"General Xiang!" the Sixth Prince said with a smile, changing his address.

Wei Qing also laughed heartily, cupped his hands and said, "Overlord!"

The group burst into laughter, genuinely happy.

The Overlord Emperor willingly became a general, which shows his genuine submission to the Great Qian Dynasty.

Or rather, they genuinely admired Zhou Yi's teachings.

"Take care, Imperial Grandson!"

After seeing each other again, the Sixth Prince and the others clasped their hands in farewell and continued their journey eastward to seek out and kill Bai Qi.

……

The underworld, Mount Luofeng.

As Meng Tian and Meng Yi stepped through the stone gate of the underworld, they immediately felt waves of chilling, eerie energy wash over them.

The two looked up and saw a sinister black mist enveloping them.

Within sight, the ground was covered with scorched earth as black as ink.

Every now and then, plumes of black mist would shoot up into the sky from the ground.

Before me stood a towering, dark mountain, shrouded in black lightning, its summit invisible.

Directly ahead, a general stood with his spear in the middle of the road.

"General Wang Jian?!"

Meng Tian and Meng Yi blurted out in unison.

This great general, who swept through enemy countries, was renowned and was a respected senior to both of them.

Unexpectedly, he was guarding the entrance to the underworld here.

"Meng Tian and Meng Yi were the last ministers of the Great Feng Dynasty who defended the territory."

Bai Wuchang introduced it to Wang Jian.

As a person from later generations, he was quite familiar with the generals of the previous dynasty.

Wang Jian nodded to the Meng brothers, as if he had already anticipated this outcome, and said:

"Okay, coming!"

"General Wang, you're also involved with Zhou Yi..." Meng Yi exclaimed in surprise.

Emperor Ying assembled a large army, vowing to overthrow the Great Qian Dynasty.

This underworld was built by Zhou Yi, so it is naturally considered enemy territory.

As a trusted general of Emperor Ying, Wang Jian actually guarded the mountain pass for the enemy.

Meng and Tian found it hard to accept at first.

"Ha ha……"

Wang Jian's face flushed slightly, then he became serious and said,

"The Crown Prince of the Great Qian Dynasty is thinking of the people of the world."

“Creating the underworld is a truly righteous act, a great merit akin to creating humans from clay.”

"That's absolutely true!" Meng Tian exclaimed.

Without Zhou Yi, there would be no underworld.

Without the underworld, their souls would have long since vanished, so how could they possibly reunite here?

It is even more impossible for them to continue "living" after death.

Nuwa molded humans from clay, creating unparalleled merit.

Zhou Yi, by creating another life for people after death, is also a person of immeasurable merit.

"This mountain is called Luofeng Mountain, a suitable place for souls to dwell."

Bai Wuchang said, "You two should stay on the mountain for now. You can enter after the Underworld is perfected."

Meng Tian and Meng Yi nodded.

With such a comfortable place to live, what more could one ask for?

Just as the two were about to ascend the mountain, the mist in the passage flickered, and two figures entered.

Her black robe was as dark as ink, and her white skirt was as white as snow.

It was Zhou Yi and Hu Die.

Meng Tian and Meng Yi exchanged a glance, their faces showing expressions of utter disbelief.

So quickly, Miss Butterfly has refined two heaven-defying treasures?
