Chapter 1122

Inside the Yellow Springs Deity Palace, the Underworld welcomed the three distinguished guests of the Celestial Court with the highest form of courtesy.

"If not for the Celestial Court's help, the Underworld would have perished in the hands of those bastards from the outside world. No matter how much I say, there's nothing I can do to repay your kindness. Old Man, let's drink first!"

Mo Yanshen raised his wine cup and drained it in one gulp. The Yama Kings did the same.

To all the cultivators of the Underworld, the past few months were like a nightmare. The arrival of the three distinguished guests of the Celestial Court allowed them to rise from the ashes.

Gu Chen sat on the seat of the distinguished guests and raised his wine cup to take a sip with a smile on his face.

After three rounds of wine, both parties gradually became familiar with each other. Mo Yanshen took the initiative to speak.

"We've been imprisoned in the Soul Refining Bottle for a long time and know nothing about the outside world. Please enlighten us!"

He knew that it was impossible for the three executives of the Celestial Court to come to the Underworld to rescue them without asking for something in return. From what Tang Ning had revealed earlier, he could roughly guess what they wanted.

Tang Ning and Li Shunyu briefly explained the important things that happened in the Ninth World in the past six months, including the death of Emperor Huang and the battle at the Mystic Lady Palace. Then, they revealed the idea of the Celestial Court to rebuild the Celestial World.

After listening, Mo Yanshen and the Yama Kings exchanged glances and quickly made up their minds.

"Now that the Hundred Seedlings are wreaking havoc in the Ninth World, it's a big mistake to be content with a corner of the Ninth World."

"Since the Overlord has the heart to rebuild the Celestial World, the cultivators of the Underworld are willing to follow!"

Mo Yanshen and the Yama Kings bowed to Gu Chen together, their eyes filled with respect and anticipation.

There was no need to think too much about this matter. Any wise person would know how to choose.

A genius serene bird from the outside world almost destroyed the entire Underworld. With the Underworld's current strength, if they did not rely on a powerful force, they would definitely perish soon.

The Celestial Court and the Underworld were originally from the Celestial World and had just defeated the allied forces of two Supreme Martial Artists. It was undoubtedly the most suitable choice!

Most importantly, they saw the Overlord's strength with their own eyes. The serene bird that they could not do anything about was killed by him alone.

Even people like Tang Ning and Li Shunyu were willing to submit to him. This was enough to prove his charisma.

Since he had the ability to reform the Heavenly Court, which had been in a state of disunity for millions of years, into a powerful force, it was not impossible for him to rebuild the Immortal Realm!

It was not shameful to submit to him. In fact, it was the Underworld 'choice!

"It's our long-cherished wish to have the Underworld return to the Heavenly Court, but I hope that everyone is sincere and not a choice made out of helplessness."

Gu Chen appeared very indifferent as he accepted Mo Yanshen's and the others' huge gifts. His words even hinted at something.

After all, it had been a million years since the Underworld left the Heavenly Court. Even when the Heavenly Court attacked the Divine Realm, they didn't do anything. Their loyalty still needed to be tested.

Gu Chen hoped that the Immortal World that would be rebuilt in the future would not be in a state of disunity where everyone harbored different intentions. Therefore, although he had been courteous before, since they wanted to talk about an alliance, he had to knock some sense into them from now on.

"The Underworld will fight side by side with the Celestial Court. We will live and die together!"

"The Netherworld will fight side by side with the Heavenly Courts. We will live and die together. We will never be disloyal!"

Mo Yanshen sighed. It seemed like the Underworld had not gained the Overlord's trust.

But that was to be expected. He had achieved so much at such a young age. How could he trust others so easily?

Mo Yanshen sighed. It seemed like the Underworld had not gained the Overlord's trust.

If the Underworld really wanted to integrate into the Overlord's power and live in a better environment, they would have to put in more effort.

"Manor Master Mo, I have something to ask."

Mo Yanshen was thinking about how to please Gu Chen when Gu Chen suddenly spoke.

"Tyrant, speak your mind!" Mo Yanshen said hurriedly.

"It's about the Yellow Springs Treasury. I heard some news from the serene bird."

Gu Chen then told them about how he had overheard the conversation between the serene bird and Fang Wen. However, he intentionally hid the fact that he had seen the serene bird interrogating Mo Yanshen.

Tang Ning and Li Shunyu were shocked. The upper echelons of the Underworld were equally shocked.

"That thief from the outer world had indeed been plotting to get the method to open the Yellow Springs Treasury from the Old Man. But the Old Man did not expect it to be related to some ruins," Mo Yanshen replied.

Mo Yanshen replied. Looking at him, Gu Chen started to believe him a little.

He purposely did not mention that he saw the serene bird interrogating Mo Yanshen about the Yellow Springs Treasury. He wanted to see if the Underworld was sincere.

If Mo Yanshen was lying or even hiding the existence of the Yellow Springs Treasury, then he could not be trusted. He had to be careful.

But he admitted it. Even though he could not explain the ruins mentioned by Fang Wen, he was trustworthy enough.

"The reason why Fang Wen led the serene bird to open the Yellow Springs Treasury was to obtain the Life and Death Sculpture. He said that it was related to the ruins that were about to appear."

"How much does Manor Head Mo know about the Life and Death Sculpture?"

Gu Chen asked.

"The Life and Death Sculpture was a gift from the Heavenly Emperor to the Yellow Springs Immortal Emperor. It was said that it was related to the cultivation of the Dao Querying Realm and could help the Immortal Emperor improve."

"The Serene Sparrow wanted this item because it was certain that it would be of great benefit to his cultivation. As for why Fang Wen was so sure that it was the key to entering the ruins, I have no idea. "

Mo Yanshen laughed bitterly.

"This sculpture is related to both the Heavenly Emperor and the Yellow Springs Immortal Emperor. Could the ruins that Fang Wen mentioned be related to the Celestial World?"

Li Shunyu said solemnly. Tang Ning's eyes darkened.

This time, when he came to the Underworld, he didn't take into account the fact that Fang Wen was playing tricks in the shadows. He was losing more and more in the contest between the two of them.

"I think so too. Based on Fang Wen's words, the ruins that are about to appear are extraordinary. When the time comes, there will be many parties fighting for it."

"If it's related to the Celestial Court, we must not let it fall into the hands of others. We have to seize the opportunity."

Gu Chen's eyes lit up.

"Since the Life and Death Sculpture is the key to entering the ruins, we might be able to find it and study it."

"Manor Head Mo, can you bring us into the Yellow Springs Treasury?"

Li Shunyu looked at Mo Yanshen.

"This …"

Mo Yanshen's face was filled with difficulty.

"The Yellow Springs Treasury is the biggest secret of the Underworld and also our greatest treasure. I understand that Manor Head Mo has his concerns, but this is a serious matter. I hope that you can make an exception this time."

"I guarantee that the Celestial Court will not touch anything that belongs to the Underworld. Even if there is a need, we will give you reasonable compensation."

Looking at Mo Yanshen's hesitation, Gu Chen promised.

Mo Yanshen waved it off immediately. "Tyrant has misunderstood. The Old Man is not being stingy. The Celestial Court and the Underworld are now allies. Why would the Old Man be so stingy?"

"Then why are you hesitating, Manor Head Mo?"

"It's … it's because the Old Man doesn't know how to open the Yellow Springs Treasury either!"

Mo Yanshen's face was bitter as he told the whole story.

It turned out that the Yellow Springs Treasury was the Yellow Springs Immortal Emperor's personal treasury and he was the only one who could open it.
