A passerby in a horror movie

However, Li Haotian was a man who had seen the world, so he didn't panic.

Since the matter had already reached the Ghost Emperor's side, Li Haotian simply followed the procedure and explained his desire to sign a contract with the Underworld.

Li Haotian remained calm and composed, while Zhe Gu was extremely flustered.

However, she didn't dare to disturb Li Haotian's conversation with the Black and White Impermanence. She just stood silently to the side, glancing at the white-bearded patriarch from time to time, hoping he would give her some hints.

"That's how it is. I just wanted to get a pass and didn't mean to bother the Ghost Emperor or make the two Yin Generals make a special trip. I'm really sorry."

After explaining, Li Haotian said with a slight apology.

If it's a major event, like fighting the source in the Silk World, then Li Haotian communicating with the gods and asking for their help doesn't seem wrong.

But to make Black and White Impermanence, as well as their own ancestor, personally make a trip for such a trivial matter seems like making a mountain out of a molehill.

Although Li Haotian possessed supernatural abilities, he would remind himself that unless it was something important, he shouldn't rely on this ability to casually ask the gods for favors.

Otherwise, it's easy to become disliked and looked down upon by others.

Moreover, the due respect must not be lacking; who says that immortals are devoid of human relationships?

"Hehe, it's alright. Since the Ghost Emperor has issued a divine decree, he must have his reasons. Moreover, he asked me to pass on a message to you."

Black Impermanence said to Li Haotian.

Then he casually set up a light barrier to block out their voices.

"The Ghost Emperor already knows your origins. He hopes that if you have the ability in the future, you will come back to see this world."

After he finished speaking, Bai Wuchang handed a token to Li Haotian.

"This token is the Impermanence Token. With this token, one can move freely in the underworld."

If you encounter a low-ranking ghost messenger, you can use your token to command them.

If you wish to communicate with spirits, once you have refined the Impermanence Token, you can command the ghost messengers to escort your soul up to you at any time.

If you wish to travel to the underworld, you can use this token to open the gates of hell and descend directly to the mortal realm.

After saying that, Bai Wuchang placed the token in Li Haotian's hand.

As soon as Li Haotian received the token, he sensed a massive amount of Yin energy and divine power, completely different from the magical artifacts he had obtained before.

Furthermore, there are no restrictions on it, and with his strength, he can refine it very quickly.

However, he did not immediately begin. Thinking about what the Black and White Impermanence had said, Li Haotian had many questions in his mind.

I was just about to ask the two of them.

Suddenly, the figures of Black and White Impermanence flashed and disappeared without a trace.

Only Li Haotian, Aunt Zhe, and Yang Xixuan remained, staring at each other blankly.

"..."

"Excuse me, senior, are you from the Maoshan Sect?"

It was Li Haotian who broke the silence first. He temporarily put aside his thoughts on the Black and White Impermanence and looked at Yang Xixuan to ask.

Yang Xixuan looked at Li Haotian, but his gaze was somewhat blank.

For a moment I didn't know what to say, so I just nodded.

"Are you Grandmaster Yang Xixuan?"

At this moment, Aunt Zhe walked over and looked at Yang Xixuan with a look of surprise and uncertainty, asking him a question.

Zhe Gu is quite familiar with the origins of the various sects of Maoshan, especially the masters and grandmasters of recent generations, and has also left some portraits of them.

Yang Xixuan was the great-great ...

I looked at it for a while and it seemed somewhat familiar, so I asked about it.

"Indeed, I am Yang Xixuan. Which branch of Maoshan do you belong to?"

After being discovered by Aunt Zhe, Yang Xixuan finally snapped out of his shock and cautiously spoke.

Aunt Zhe was unaware of what had just happened, but he knew it all too well.

Besides the Black and White Impermanence, the Ghost Emperor also gave him orders to take good care of his junior, Li Haotian.

Therefore, Yang Xixuan no longer dared to put on airs as a patriarch and was at a loss as to how to face Li Haotian.

Fortunately, there was a sugarcane aunt next to him, otherwise he would have been really embarrassed.

“Master, my name is Zhe Gu, and my grandmaster is your grand-disciple.”

Aunt Zhe introduced herself, recounting the names of everyone in her lineage, and then introduced Li Haotian.

“This is my junior apprentice, Li Haotian. He is from the lineage of Ancestor Yuzhen, but his master passed away early, and he was taught by my senior brother, Lin Zhengying.”

Aunt Zhe pointed at Li Haotian and said.

"Disciple greets the Ancestral Master."

Li Haotian was about to bow when Yang Xixuan stopped him.

"Hehe, good child, no need to be so polite."

Since you have gained the favor of the Ghost Emperor and possess the Decree of Impermanence, your status should logically be higher than mine. Perhaps I'll have to benefit from your influence in the future.”

Yang Xixuan looked Li Haotian up and down and said with a smile.

He could tell Li Haotian's cultivation level at a glance. Although his realm was not yet fully stable, he was indeed at the fifth level of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation.

To have such cultivation at such a young age would make him an absolute genius, even in his own time.

Even without the Ghost Emperor's favor, Maoshan is fortunate to have such a genius as Li Haotian.

Moreover, Li Haotian seemed to be very polite, and his character must be first-rate, which made Yang Xixuan even happier.

“Master, I don’t understand why the Ghost Emperor would personally order the two Yin Generals and you to come up here.”

Once they were more familiar with each other, Li Haotian opened up and voiced his questions.

"I don't know about this either. I just suddenly received the Ghost Emperor's order. Wait, let me calculate it first."

As he spoke, Yang Xixuan pinched his hands together, then looked at Li Haotian and pinched them for a while longer.

But the more Yang Xixuan tried to calculate, the more bewildered he became.

"That's strange, your destiny is all messed up, I can't see anything clearly. Hmm, it's changed again."

Yang Xixuan murmured.

Suddenly, he stopped halfway through pinching Li Haotian's finger and looked at him with a strange expression.

"Ahem, I've never seen your fate before, so I can't calculate it."

I don't know what the Ghost Emperor is thinking; my orders are to take good care of you, my junior."

Yang Xixuan lowered his hand and spoke slowly.

The biggest problem is that nothing can be calculated.

With Yang Xixuan's insight, he naturally understood that Li Haotian's identity was probably not simple.

However, he wouldn't delve into it further. After all, he couldn't afford to offend someone even the Ghost Emperor had to befriend, so it was better to just obediently listen to him.

"You were just performing a spirit communication ritual, right? But now that you have the Impermanence Token, you don't need to sign any contract. You can just use the Impermanence Token from now on."

Child, this is my identity token. You can come to me if you need anything in the future.

I can't interfere in human affairs, but I can say a few words in the underworld. If that doesn't work, you can take the Impermanence Token to the Black and White Impermanence.

Oh, by the way, you haven't been to the blessed lands of Maoshan yet, have you?

When I get back later, I'll talk to those old guys down there and ask them to let you stay a little longer.

These spots for the next ten years are all yours. You must cultivate diligently; the burden of Maoshan will likely fall on your shoulders in the future.”

Yang Xixuan said with a smile.
