Paying Respects to the Immortal Ancestor

The two walked forward, passing through layers of ghosts.

On the riverbank of the Styx, the ghosts seemed to be suppressed in some way, becoming less aggressive and not attacking Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan, the two living people.

After walking for a while, the Styx Styx appeared ahead. Finally, some Underworld Emissary appeared on the banks of the River Styx. They were rowing a wooden boat and directed the ghosts to board the boat.

It was clear that these Underworld Emissary were extremely busy. They had to allow ghosts exceeding the prescribed number to board small boats and carry them across the Styx. The two looked out and saw that the blood-red Styx was filled with underworld Underworld Emissaries constantly ferrying ghosts across.

Suddenly, a sharp-eyed Underworld Emissary spotted the two and shouted, "Halt! You two over there, how did you get into the Ghost Realm?"

As he spoke, he placed the Oar on the boat, tied it to the Styx, then pulled off the Iron Chains from his waist and walked towards the two men.

After he left, several ghosts who were waiting in line tried to move his small boat, but as soon as their hands touched the boat, the Oar flew up and quickly shoved all the ghosts into the Styx.

The surging, blood-red river roared and churned, and from within the crimson waves emerged a gigantic Demon Monster that swallowed the ghosts whole.

"A living person?"

The Underworld Emissary approached, stood before the two men, looked them up and down, and then demanded, "How did you get here?"

Bai Qiuran was about to make up a reason, Jiang Lan, who was standing next to him, suddenly took a step forward. Then, infinite radiance rose behind her head and condensed into a sacred Bluish Green halo.

Upon seeing the halo, the Underworld Emissary's expression turned solemn, and he cupped his hands, saying, "So it is the Venerable. My apologies for the rudeness."

No need for such formalities.

Jiang Lan shook her head, then softly asked the Underworld Emissary, "I've come to the Ghost Realm to visit a friend; could you please grant me this favor?"

"Sure."

The Underworld Emissary turned his head and glanced at the group of ghosts he had just been in charge of.

"I apologize, I am very busy. Please make yourself at home, Your Venerable."

He hurriedly ran back to his previous position and began to maintain Order.

"What's this?"

Looking at the halo behind his wife's head, Bai Qiuran asked curiously.

"This is called the Immortal Light Treasure Form, a Dharma appearance that only appears when one cultivates to the Immortal Venerable, which is above the Reincarnation Realm."

Jiang Lan explained to Bai Qiuran, "You were the one who deduced this realm, how could you not know it?"

"I only deduced the Purple Mansion at the time, not the External Appearance."

Bai Qiuran glanced at the halo behind Jiang Lan's head with envy and jealousy, muttering, "Sooner or later, I'll have my own light too."

"Yes, yes."

Jiang Lan smiled and gently tugged at his cheek.

Bai Qiuran piloted his Flying Sword, carrying Jiang Lan across the Styx. In fact, there was a restriction above the Styx, making it impossible for any Cultivators with a cultivation level lower than that of Immortals to fly in the air above it.

This is a restriction personally placed by the Heavenly Dao. Rather than a restriction, it is more like a rule. However, this rule is not very effective in front of Bai Qiuran, because he is the creator of the Ghost Realm and naturally has exemption from all the rules here.

After crossing the Styx, the true Ghost Realm finally appeared before Bai Qiuran. The once barren land had been transformed into a magnificent City by the later Ghost Immortal. Even the dim sky was adorned with Stars created by their great Divine Ability, making it shine brightly.

This City has surpassed all other City in the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou. In Bai Qiuran's memory, almost only the Heavenly Palace of the Divine Age could surpass it.

"This is Ghost City Fengdu. The Yanluo Hall is on the outskirts of the City, near the Styx, the very place where you had Bai Li spread the Dharma."

Upon arriving here, Jiang Lan began to guide the way, explaining to Bai Qiuran as she pointed out the direction, "This place is close to the Styx and also close to the Six Paths of Reincarnation of Reincarnation, making it convenient to Judgment the ghosts who cross the river and send them to be reborn in the Six Paths of Reincarnation."

"Hmm, not bad, not bad."

Looking down at the brightly lit City below, Bai Qiuran felt a surge of pride. He asked, "Where do we go next?"

"Go find some old friends. They're all retired and living a peaceful life in the Ghost Realm, but they're certainly aware of what's been happening Ghost Realm lately."

After Jiang Lan finished speaking, she guided Bai Qiuran and they descended directly from the sky to the edge of Fengdu. There were Underworld Emissary patrolling in the sky, but when they saw the halo behind Jiang Lan's head, they all retreated far away.

The two landed on a street in the City, where many ghosts who did not want to die lived. The Underworld Emissaries also lived here. They married here, formed families after death, and lived a life just like the Mortal Realm. Moreover, these ghosts were later blessed by the Heavenly Dao and had the ability to reproduce like the living.

"However, it's more difficult for ghosts to reproduce, since it's a process of reincarnation from death."

Jiang Lan said.

Then, she touched her lower abdomen with a hint of Longing.

"My child..."

"I see, there's a trick to it."

Bai Qiuran stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "If I can thoroughly understand it, the rules of life and death will no longer be a problem for me."

Jiang Lan rolled her eyes at him in annoyance, leaving Bai Qiuran looking completely bewildered.

Next, led by Jiang Lan, the two arrived at a small courtyard on the side of the street. This courtyard was built on a small slope that was slightly higher than the other buildings, giving it a slightly secluded feel, but from the outside, it was no different from other houses.

Jiang Lan walked to the door and knocked. Hurried footsteps came from the courtyard, and a young girl dressed Underworld Emissary ran out, opened the door for them, and asked with a puzzled look, "Who are you looking for?"

"Is Old Master Yin here?"

Jiang Lan asked the girl gently.

"Grandpa, I've come to see you."

The girl turned her head and shouted something into the courtyard, then hurriedly ran back inside.

"M•h. com Oh dear, I almost forgot my chain!"

She rummaged through the drawers and cabinets inside, then took an Iron Chains, apologized to Jiang Lan and Bai Qiuran, and hurriedly left the courtyard, running towards the direction of the Yanluo Hall.

"What a reckless child."

Jiang Lan shook her head, then led Bai Qiuran into the courtyard.

"This girl, she didn't even explain who came to see me... Which friend came to see this old man?"

Just then, an Old Man with white hair and beard pushed open the door to a room in the courtyard and walked out, shaking his head as he did so.

Then he saw Jiang Lan in the courtyard, quickly went over to greet her, and bowed to Jiang Lan.

"So it's the Fusang Niang Niang! Why didn't you Prophet this old man beforehand so I could prepare properly?"

"Old Master Yin, there's no need for such formality. You're being too polite."

Jiang Lan shook her head, then stepped to the side, allowing the old man to see Bai Qiuran behind her.

"Look, who's here?"

The old man raised his head, looked at Bai Qiuran a few seconds, suddenly paused, and then burst into tears of joy.

He immediately knelt down, Bai Qiuran, and cried out, "This humble old man, Yin Chicheng, pays respects to the Immortal Ancestor!"
