Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 940 - 823: Long Time No See

Lu Huai did not hesitate for long. As soon as he thought about his "work injury" which needed urgent treatment, he immediately waved his large sleeve, took the Book of Life and Death, and headed straight to the lowest level of Fengdu from the side hall.

In the Mortal World, kings are in high positions.

But in the Netherworld's Fengdu, the deeper you go, the closer you get to the grand hall of the Eighteen Layers of Hell, the higher and more important the position of the owner.

Apart from the fact that the Yin Fiend Qi here is more intense and frenzied, making it more suitable for High Tier Ghost Cultivators to cultivate, it naturally also serves as a suppression.

The Judge belongs to the Department of Judges, a position slightly higher than the Demon Nether Chief Envoy Jian Shichu, and coupled with his unique nature, his hall is located in a special place and can directly reach the Ghost Emperor's palace.

As he descended, the yin winds howled, and Lu Huai's steps grew lighter.

Due to his unique status, he needed no announcement when entering the Ghost Emperor's palace via this path. But before he could step into the grand hall, the Ghost Emperor sensed his presence, and the pitch-black door slowly opened.

"What brings you here today?" An authoritative voice, indistinguishable in age and gender, came from within a weave of black clouds and light, "You seem in a hurry but are smiling. Is there good news?"

Lu Huai stepped forward to pay his respects respectfully. He knew how much the Ghost Emperor had been troubled by the one who escaped, hoping to find some clues in the Book of Life and Death, but this visit was not for that matter.

Therefore, he first apologized and then explained, "I came to disturb because I encountered an unprecedented situation and thought I should report it to you immediately for awareness.

This matter began with a Human Race Cultivator in the Mortal World discovering the whereabouts of another broken version of the Book of Life and Death. He then negotiated a collaboration with General Jian, allowing them to use the Book of Life and Death to trace the other's background and eventually find the party involved. That book would be handled by Fengdu."

Silence enveloped the black cloud of light, as the emergence of another Book of Life and Death didn't seem to surprise him.

"When they came to consult the Book of Life and Death, I found something peculiar!" Lu Huai handed over the Book of Life and Death, "That Human Race Cultivator wasn't in the Book of Life and Death, and very young, at most twenty-something, with no detectable Spiritual Energy;

And his accompanying Demon Cultivator had a mere avatar successfully condensed into an independent life, was killed on the same day it appeared in the Book of Life and Death, and was resurrected again a day later, recorded in the resurrection registry. From start to finish, I knew nothing of the entire process, which is to say..."

The other party picked up the thread of his speech, "Someone can conceal from the Book of Life and Death, arbitrarily deciding matters of life and death."

Lu Huai lowered his head even further, emphasizing, "Witnessing Mr. Jiang's strangeness, I wanted to test his abilities, so I inquired about why my own cultivation had stalled."

"Oh? What did he say?"

"Mr. Jiang said that due to forcibly altering the Book of Life and Death back then, there's been excessive depletion, needing a ninth-grade elixir: the Nine Revolutions Dragon Saliva Pill to fully restore. And though he can craft a ninth-grade elixir, he lacks the Pill Formula..."

The great hall once again fell into silence.

In fact, regarding the Judge's situation, the Ghost Emperor was very aware.

Back then, with massive changes made to the Book of Life and Death, if it weren't for my assistance and the entire Fengdu City as support, no matter how high Lu Huai's cultivation, he would have been doomed.

A Yin Commander can be easily found, but a Judge is rare; not to mention how simply being able to comprehend and understand those "Celestial Book" characters surpasses ordinary Ghost Cultivators. To save his life, Fengdu City paid a great price.

The depletion in cultivation is certain, and no matter how hard he cultivates, he can only gradually replenish the deficit.

If he still cannot fully recover and break through his realm in a few years, with his lifespan nearing its end and no successor found, even Fengdu would be without a Judge.

Upon hearing there might be an elixir to cure this, regardless if it's true or not, it's worth a try.

"In the End of Dharma Era, even the Celestial Realm has crumbled." After a long pause, the Ghost Emperor spoke softly: "The Immortals battling desperately in the Outer Heaven have been seriously injured or fallen. They either reincarnate or return to the world through means we cannot fathom.

It's not surprising to see one or two unusual individuals not in the Book of Life and Death.

Having extraordinary means to control the life and death of cultivators is also quite normal. After all, although they come into the world in human or demon form, they are essentially Immortals, possibly subject to the restrictions of the Heavenly Law, but given how incomplete the Heavenly Dao is now, using loopholes to achieve such feats is indeed worthy of the skills of Immortals.

As for a young age and no Spiritual Energy fluctuations, that's nothing to concern.

These Immortals brought to the world come with missions, with time so precious they wish to double their days. They naturally show their talents early as they recover some strength to use Immortal Power instead of Spiritual Power, hence undetectable.

However, every step they take carries deeper meaning, either saving or enlightening the world, generally posing no threat. This time they assist Fengdu in retrieving another broken Book of Life and Death, what do they ask for in exchange?"

Lu Huai felt a dry throat, and realizing that the formula was revealed by an Immortal, he was thrillingly speechless.

Steadying himself, he replied, "Leopard Tail mentioned that Mr. Jiang acquired a piece of land in a remote part of the Netherworld, the precise location unknown, seemingly to protect some wandering souls. In this trade, he sought an array, similar to that of the Eighteen Layers of Hell, to ensure that area remains undisturbed."

The Ghost Emperor chuckled lightly upon hearing this, "What a reasonable demand.

By then, ask casually where that land is, verbally instruct the little ghosts below to detour and not meddle unnecessarily. Should any major disturbance arise, I naturally will know and address it.
