Chapter 526 Entering the Underworld, Returning the War God's Axe
Hearing this, Ao Guang and the others became even more puzzled.
"Is there anything else?"
"Where is Fellow Daoist Changsheng heading?"
Chen Changsheng shifted his gaze slightly, looking towards the direction of Youming.
"The Underworld".
The moment those two simple words were uttered, everyone's expression changed instantly.
Ao Qin couldn't help but ask, "The underworld?"
"What brings Fellow Daoist Changsheng to the Underworld?"
Chen Changsheng said calmly, "I borrowed something before, and now that the matter is settled, I should naturally return it."
Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan's eyes flickered slightly.
He quickly recalled the incomparably domineering giant axe in Chen Changsheng's hand during the Battle of Taoshan.
War God Axe!
The axe was not Chen Changsheng's own magical treasure, but came from Xing Tian of the Wu Clan.
Back then, Chen Changsheng shone brightly in the battle of Taoshan with the War God Axe.
It is quite reasonable for them to return it to the underworld now.
Kong Xuan said calmly, "You do keep your word."
"That War God Axe is incredibly powerful. If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't want to return it once they borrowed it."
Chen Changsheng smiled.
"Although I, Chen Changsheng, am not some saint or gentleman, I will naturally return what I have borrowed."
"Moreover, Senior Xing Tian has been kind to me."
"These basic rules still need to be followed."
The Golden-Winged Roc smacked its lips.
"What you said makes perfect sense, brother."
"Borrowing something and not returning it—what's the difference between that and being shameless?"
Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan glanced at the Golden-Winged Roc.
"You still know how to be shameless?"
The Golden-Winged Roc choked.
He was about to retort, but seeing Kong Xuan's calm expression, he immediately swallowed his words.
Forget it.
We can't beat them.
I'll keep this in mind for now.
Chen Changsheng ignored their little antics and looked at Kong Xuan instead.
"Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan."
"I'm going to the underworld next, so you can stay in the East Sea."
Kong Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly.
"You want me to stay in the East China Sea?"
Chen Changsheng nodded.
"The Four Seas Dragon Clan has just submitted, and the Ancestral Dragon Pearl has just appeared in the world."
"If this news leaks out, it will inevitably cause some trouble."
"With you in charge in the East China Sea, I feel at ease."
Upon hearing this, Ao Guang and the others were all shocked.
What kind of existence is Kong Xuan?
That's a quasi-saint level powerhouse.
If he is willing to stay in the East China Sea to keep watch, who would dare to cause trouble for the Dragon Clan in the short term?
This was a powerful safeguard for the dragon race, who had just obtained the Ancestral Dragon Pearl.
Ao Guang quickly bowed to Kong Xuan.
"If Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan is willing to stay in the East Sea for the time being, our Dragon Clan will certainly treat him with the courtesy due to an honored guest."
Kong Xuan did not agree immediately.
He looked at Chen Changsheng with a half-smile and said, "You certainly know how to make arrangements."
"You're going to the underworld to return the treasure yourself, and you want me to watch your house?"
Chen Changsheng shrugged.
"If Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan is unwilling, that is fine too."
"But I don't know how long my trip to the underworld will take."
"If something goes wrong in the East China Sea, we'll have to make another trip, which will be troublesome."
Kong Xuan remained silent for a moment, then finally said calmly, "Very well."
"I will wait for you in the East China Sea."
"But you'd better not cause too much trouble in the underworld."
Chen Changsheng laughed and said, "Do I look like the kind of person who causes trouble everywhere?"
Kong Xuan remained silent.
The Golden-Winged Roc remained silent.
The Four Dragon Kings remained silent.
The scene suddenly became somewhat eerie.
Chen Changsheng's lips twitched slightly.
"Your reaction is very impolite."
"Dragon King, I will return to the East Sea in three years."
"At that time, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas will accompany me to the Heavenly Court."
"Within three years, the Dragon Clan can use the Ancestral Dragon Pearl to sort out their inheritance and stabilize their fortune."
Upon hearing this, Ao Guang was overjoyed.
Three years is but a fleeting moment for the creatures of the primordial world.
However, for the dragon race, having the Ancestral Dragon Pearl in hand, even if they only have a preliminary understanding of it, is enough for them to gain something.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Changsheng!"
Ao Guang said solemnly.
Ao Qin, Ao Shun, and Ao Run also bowed.
Chen Changsheng nodded slightly, then took a step forward.
The Golden-Winged Roc quickly followed.
"Master, I'll go with you!"
Chen Changsheng glanced at him.
Are you sure?
"That's the underworld."
The Golden-Winged Roc patted its chest.
"What happened to the underworld?"
"I've seen it all now, I'm a person who's seen big things."
"I've already been to Peach Mountain, what's there to fear about the underworld?"
Chen Changsheng smiled.
"OK."
"Then follow along."
The next moment, Chen Changsheng transformed into a streak of light and sped off towards the Netherworld.
The Golden-Winged Roc followed closely behind.
Kong Xuan stood beside the eye of the East Sea, watching the direction the two had left, his eyes flickering slightly.
"The underworld..."
"The place where Consort Pingxin resides is not a place that ordinary people can trespass on."
He murmured softly.
Upon hearing this, Ao Guang's heart stirred.
"Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan, will Fellow Daoist Changsheng face any danger on this journey?"
Kong Xuan said calmly, "It's not necessarily dangerous."
"But wherever that kid goes, there's never a quiet place."
"The Netherworld is going to be quite lively this time."
As soon as he finished speaking, the East China Sea rippled slightly.
The figures of Chen Changsheng and the Golden-Winged Roc had completely disappeared into the horizon.
At the same time, deep within the netherworld, an ancient gaze, as if it had been waiting for a long time, slowly opened.
"He's here."
Beneath the primordial earth.
The aura of the netherworld surged ceaselessly.
Chen Changsheng and the Golden-Winged Roc traveled together and soon arrived at the entrance to the Netherworld.
Compared to the vastness and dynamism of the East Sea, the Underworld appears much more somber.
The sky was dark.
The Yellow Springs flow swiftly.
Countless souls, guided by ghost messengers, slowly made their way toward the place of reincarnation.
This place lacks the boundless vitality of the East China Sea, but possesses an indescribable order.
The living return to the living.
The dead return to the dead.
The cycle of reincarnation continues, with yin and yang clearly distinguished.
The moment the Golden-Winged Roc stepped into the Netherworld, it couldn't help but shiver.
"This place..."
"It's so cold."
Chen Changsheng glanced at him and said calmly, "Haven't you seen your share of grand occasions?"
The Golden-Winged Roc stubbornly retorted, "I have seen many grand occasions."
"But this place is unreasonably cold."
"It's not that I'm physically cold, it's that I'm feeling uneasy."
Chen Changsheng smiled.
"The underworld is the place where the dead return. If a lively Golden-Winged Roc like you comes in, it's no wonder it gets all fussy."
The Golden-Winged Roc pursed its lips but did not refute further.
The two continued on their way.
As they passed by the Yellow Springs, a ghost messenger looked up and saw Chen Changsheng, and his expression immediately changed.
"Um?"
"Who is that...?"
"Heavenly Enforcement God!"
"Why is he in the underworld again?"
Many of the ghost messengers recognized Chen Changsheng.
After all, Chen Changsheng didn't come to the underworld silently back then.
He once helped Xing Tian resurrect and had a significant connection with the underworld.
Now that they have come again, many of the ghost messengers naturally dare not be negligent.
Soon, a ghost messenger stepped forward and bowed.
"I have met the Immortal of Longevity."
"May I ask, Immortal, what brings you into the Netherworld?"
Chen Changsheng said calmly, "I've come to find Senior Xing Tian."
