Upon hearing the Second Generation Nether King's warning to himself, Xie Xiaofeng felt a surge of secret delight in his heart.

It seemed that Chen Hao must have successfully released Ye Yuqiao's Yin Soul that day, and Chen Hao would be arriving here soon, Xie Xiaofeng thought to himself.

"Mmm!" After affirming with a grunt, Xie Xiaofeng left.

Outside the door, Uncle Cui was quite surprised to see Xie Xiaofeng come out so quickly.

"Did you pass?" Uncle Cui asked Xie Xiaofeng.

Xie Xiaofeng walked up to Uncle Cui and suddenly pushed him down the stairs.

"Ah!" Instantly, Uncle Cui's scream echoed.

As he was falling, seven or eight vines suddenly entwined around his limbs and waist. While still dazed and not understanding what was happening, he was pulled back up to the top of the building, in front of Xie Xiaofeng, by the vines.

"Passed!" Only then did Xie Xiaofeng answer Uncle Cui's earlier question, "Just now, I gained the approval of the... Great Emperor by catching him off-guard in an instant."

Uncle Cui gasped for breath, and although the cold wind howled at this height, Xie Xiaofeng could still hear the pounding heartbeat.

"You little rascal!" Uncle Cui clung tightly to Xie Xiaofeng's left arm, "You trying to scare me to death?!"

At that moment, Xie Xiaofeng's left arm suddenly turned entirely to sand and fell to the ground.

Uncle Cui's eyes shone, he sighed, "I never imagined this Yin Yang Five Elements Magic to be so marvelous!"

Seeing Uncle Cui's pale face, Xie Xiaofeng questioned, "Uncle Cui, if I hadn't saved you just now, you wouldn't have really died from the fall, would you?"

"Of course, I would have died, I don't possess any Spiritual Power!" Uncle Cui blushed and looked very angry, "The reason I was able to come here is that the Great Emperor recognized my skills in management and planning. A wondrous city like this, if it weren't for someone like me to manage and plan it, would never have been built."

Xie Xiaofeng was shocked, then he felt relieved, "It's a good thing I saved you just now, otherwise there would have been another fatality!"

"This isn't you saving me, it's clearly you harming me, okay!" Uncle Cui grew increasingly angry, his whole body trembling with rage.

"Uncle Cui, don't be angry, I didn't know," Xie Xiaofeng apologized, "I thought everyone who came here would be those kinds of flying and escaping freaks."

"I've told you before, the Great Emperor wants to create a world of elites; all kinds of talents are needed, not just the freaks you mentioned, understand?"

Xie Xiaofeng nodded.

Uncle Cui glared at Xie Xiaofeng and then looked up at the sky, saying, "There's still plenty of time, let me show you around the city."

"Great!"

After that, the two of them boarded the airship, slowly drifting through the ancient city.

After touring half of the ancient city, Xie Xiaofeng asked Uncle Cui, "Uncle Cui, how old are you this year?"

Suddenly, Uncle Cui became guarded and countered, "Why do you ask?"

"Didn't you say that the buildings here took decades or even hundreds of years to construct? I was just wondering if people who come here live that long."

"Accurately speaking, I should be over one hundred eighty years old. Back in the mortal world, I was the CEO of a chain hotel. I was brought here in my forties," Uncle Cui revealed.

"Over one hundred years old!" Xie Xiaofeng exclaimed, "Uncle Cui, you haven't, haven't..."

"Are you trying to ask if I have died before?" Uncle Cui said, "I did die once, but then the Great Emperor resurrected me and gave me a new life. Most people here have had the same experience, except for you. But don't worry, as long as you don't make any grave mistakes, when your time in the sun comes to an end, the Great Emperor will grant you revival from death."

"Uncle Cui, have you never thought about going back?"

"Go back?" Uncle Cui sneered scornfully. "Go back for what? Have you ever seen a place better than this? Here, we're all a group of outstanding elites, no fools or idiots, and the feeling of working together with these people is absolutely wonderful. There is nothing you can't achieve if you can imagine it. You will watch this place change day by day, bit by bit, becoming a world that astonishes and breaks through imagination."

"Remember, this is a world of elites where everyone is talented like us!" Uncle Cui emphasized again, his eyes and face full of pride.

Xie Xiaofeng looked at Uncle Cui and wanted to laugh but dared not make a sound. He just felt that Uncle Cui was like someone who had been drugged.

He thought back to a client he had served not long ago. When they saw him acting crazy, the client's family thought he was possessed and called the Yin Yang Master Association for help.

Later, when Xie Xiaofeng visited that client's home, he found out that the client was not possessed but was deluded by the craze for success. All day, he had to chant about success, about becoming an elite in society.

After a while, the airship brought the two men to a statue carved out of ice.

It was an ice sculpture of the Second Generation Nether King, with gemstones like diamonds placed beneath it, making the statue shine and sparkle in the night.

Even at this late hour, there were still many people kneeling before the statue.

At that moment, Uncle Cui suddenly stood up and looked at the statue with extreme solemnity, appearing very devout.

"He isn't even dead, what are you worshiping for!" Xie Xiaofeng thought to himself. "It seems this Second Generation Nether King isn't so vain to enjoy being worshiped."

"The Emperor is the god in my heart!" Uncle Cui suddenly said to Xie Xiaofeng.

..

..

The next day.

In the Netherworld.

Upon opening his eyes, Chen Hao looked at Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body beside him and said, "Little Nether, time to wake up."

"Alright!"

After getting up, Chen Hao stretched his arms and legs and said, "I wonder what sort of strange mystical beasts we'll run into today."

"What's there to worry about if we do?" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body mumbled sleepily.

"I'm worried about the trouble, I just want to reach the Ancient City as soon as possible."

"Chen Hao," the tone of Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body suddenly turned cautious. "Even though you've obtained the Nether King's Power, your control over it is still far from adequate. Look at my Imperial Grandfather, he can instantly move from the Ancient City to the Eighteen Levels of Hell using the Nether King's Heart—can you?"

Chen Hao shook his head.

"That's why you need to use it more and get familiar with it," Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body said with a smug look. "Moreover, the ancient mystical beasts are imbued with a lot of ancient Spiritual Power. After defeating them, you can also absorb the Spiritual Power in their bodies."

"Is that so?" Chen Hao was somewhat skeptical.

"Of course! And there are many powerful spells you haven't learned yet."

After that, Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body left the Netherworld.

At this time, the snow had stopped, and the weather was very clear, and the giant beast from yesterday was nowhere to be seen.

"The weather is nice today," Chen Hao said contentedly.

Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body also stretched lazily and said, "Let's continue on our way."

At that moment, on a distant snow mountain, a group of snow spiders awaited them.
