The pitch-black land was shrouded in a faint yin energy. Above, there was no sky, only rolling black clouds tumbling.
A heavy tower door slowly rose from beneath the black earth, and inside, a black vortex spun rapidly, slowly revealing a graceful silhouette.
Tianxuan was dressed in a pure white long dress, having changed her outfit again. Compared to the last two days, her aura seed less regal and more ethereal.
There was no helping it; the past two days had been quite taxing on her attire. Despite wearing Heavenly Clothes and Cloud Clothes that remained untainted, so things still fell on them, making Tianxuan a bit disdainful. Moreover, wanting to catch soone's eye, she simply changed once a day, each ti adopting a different style.
Though it was her Primordial Spirit traveling, her clothing was identical to her true form's.
Her snow-white boots stepped on the black soil, and the yin and turbid netherworld energy made Tianxuan frown slightly.
Even though she had traveled to the Yin World many tis, Tianxuan was still quite uncomfortable with this environnt.
In this gloomy world, nothing material existed. Even the land underfoot was condensed from yin energy. Further in the distance, one could see towering palace cities and various buildings, but all of it would be illusionary things if transported to the Yang World.
Apart from so special objects, like the Ghost Gate and the Book of Life and Death, nothing substantial could remain here; only Qi and spirits could exist. In a certain sense, it could be considered a special kind of Cave Heaven Blessed Land.
But this Cave Heaven Blessed Land was vast, almost like another world entirely.
It is said that before the End of Dharma, the underworld existed in this world, a land comparable to the Yang World. But with the arrival of the End of Dharma, all intangible things were the first to be eroded by the Five Vile Qi, and the world made purely of Qi and spirit was the first to begin collapsing.
All past things were buried, becoming nothing but ruins.
Until nearly four hundred years ago, an ancestor of the Ji Family inadvertently discovered a passage to the Yin World and unearthed so Dao Fruits, which brought a new master to these ruins.
It was only then that the Yin Law Departnt ca into being.
Tianxuan thought about the origin of the Yin Law Departnt as she moved lightly, seeming slow yet swift, approaching the distant palace city.
After crossing the barren black soil, she donned a robe of stars, with a bright moon transforming into a crown on her head, tying up her blue hair, and the radiance of Cycle Stars and moonlight ford a semblance of stars surrounding the moon behind her.
Ahead, the sound of flowing water echoed, and a murky yellow river divided the earth, winding its way to the distant palace city.
An old man with white hair and a long beard, clad in a black robe, stood by the river, suppressing the yin energy and the occasional cries of ghosts and howls of divinities, like an invisible chasm blocking the way forward.
"How dare you co with your Primordial Spirit to seek trouble with this old man."
Earth Uncle looked at Tianxuan across the river, with tiny souls wailing and swirling in his terrifying eyes, "Yuan Xi, do you really think this old man cannot deal with you?"
King You could sense Tianxuan's intrusion, so naturally, Earth Uncle wouldn't miss it either.
Thus, he ca. Before Tianxuan could enter the Yin Law Departnt, he intercepted her.
"How dare I."
Tianxuan smiled and said, "The ancestor single-handedly founded the Yin Law Departnt and gave our forefathers a second life. If it weren't for the Emperor being a Supre, perhaps this Great Zhou would be under the ancestor's rule. I may underestimate others, but I would never dare to underestimate the ancestor."
However, when these words of admiration were spoken, Earth Uncle's face beca even darker.
Indeed, Ghost Cultivators have their flaws, but not the powerful ones. Moreover, the Ghost Attribute Dao Fruit has the greatest attribute—extending life.
As long as one isn't killed on the spot, they could extend their life by converting to the Ghost Path. Even though conversion isn't always successful, and those who can't withstand the Five Turbid Evil World wouldn't succeed even if they tried, it doesn't diminish the advantage of extending life.
Low-level Ghost Attribute Dao Fruits are overlooked, but high-level ones are invaluable.
Many in the Ji Family could extend their lives this way, and Earth Uncle, the one behind the Yin Law Departnt, could use it to control the Great Zhou.
If not for the Emperor...
"Indeed, if not for the Emperor being a Supre!"
Earth Uncle said grimly, "During the exploration of the Yin World, the Jiang family inadvertently discovered it. Those despicable people attempted to take a share. Just as this old man and others were about to drive them back, the Emperor ordered that the Yin World be shared with the Jiang family. The Yin Law Departnt, founded by this old man, should have been solely for our family, but, out of nowhere, a bunch of parasites appeared."
"From that mont, this old man knew that the Emperor is the Emperor of the Great Zhou, not the Emperor of our Ji family."
Ascending to the number one position, supre, naturally, he should protect his clansn, but the Emperor was too impartial. Because the two families ruled Jiangshan Mountain together, if the Ji family beca too dominant, it would sooner or later cause internal strife, so the Emperor shared the benefits to maintain balance.
The Emperor truly treated everyone equally like the heavens, utterly fair, yet because of this, Earth Uncle harbored resentnt in his heart.
At this mont, the old man's face was gloomy, perhaps due to a change in his temperant, along with those past matters buried in his heart also erupted in his loathing.
"Later, as this old man's position grew higher, becoming a senior elder of the Royal Family, he realized the uniqueness of the Emperor Dao Fruit. Although the Emperor was born into the Royal Family, in his eyes, we and the Jiang family are no different."
Earth Uncle sneered, "Ji and Jiang, ruling the world together, turns out this is what ruling the world together ans. Although Great Zhou bears the na Ji, it is a world of Fire Virtue, and under the Emperor, the two families are equal, ruling the world is actually under the Emperor."
Under the Emperor, both families ruled Jiangshan Mountain together. Even if the supre ruler ca from the Ji family, he could truly be fair to both families.
