The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

29. The Immortal Body

“Every human, demon or god has to experience the transmigrating after they die. King of the Netherworld is the only one that controls the transmigration of everyone. Therefore, His Majesty King of the Netherworld is extremely exalted!” The small person did have answered all of Feng Xi’s questions.

“There are two worlds under the control of the Netherworld, which are the Ghost World and the Underworld. There is also a Transmigration Palace where everyone have to receive their judgement after they die. After that, the lord of the Transmigration Palace would pronounce if the soul could transmigrate right away or receive brutal punishments. Ghost World is the place with complex structure where those punishments take place. Since Young Master absolutely has no relation with the Ghost World, you don’t need to know much about it. As for the Underworld, all the souls would transmigrate in that place. How long it will take for the souls to transmigrate is also up to the lord of the Transmigration Palace.”

“So.” The small person gave a thumb up and said seriously, “The Netherworld is in charge of maintaining the balance of the Three Worlds.”

“What if the Netherworld doesn’t exist anymore?” Feng Xi goggled and asked.

“That’s impossible!”

The small person denied that without any hesitation. Seeing the boy glaring at him, he then explained,

“Young Master, you don’t know that King of the Netherworld is the only person that is second only to the way of Heaven and has the truly immortal body. Even if he is exterminated, he can still be reborn. Besides, no one in the Three Worlds is more powerful than King of the Netherworld. Even the king of the Heaven World and the Demon World respect him a lot. So it’s impossible for the Netherworld to disappear!”

“Haven’t you said that all the humans, demons and gods will die? Why can’t my leader die?” Feng Xi really didn’t understand that. Although having the most powerful leader was good news to him, he still needed to figure out why in case that others asked him the same question in the future.

However, hearing that question, the small person wore a faltering look on his face.

“I can tell you, Young Master. But you have to promise me that you won’t tell anyone else.”

“Why?” Feng Xi really got lots of questions today.

“Although the thing you asked is not the top secret, only a few people in the Three Worlds know about it. The few people who know about it have all reached a consensus that they wouldn’t let it out!”

“Fine, just tell me. I promise you I won’t tell anyone else the thing about my leader.” Hearing that the thing was confidential, Feng Xi got intrigued right away. His leader’s secret was his secret. How could he let out his own secret?

“You have to swear it, Young Master.” The small person looked around nervously. After making sure that no one was eavesdropping on them and that Uncle White wasn’t able to hear their conversation, he said in a low voice, “In fact, King of the Netherworld has trillions of clones which spread all over the universe. As long as there’s one clone of him existing in the world, he wouldn’t be destroyed. Do you understand?”

“So that is what it is!” Trillions of clones. That sounded so cool.

“Is there anything else you want to know?” The small person thought that their conversation was about to come to an end. Then he asked politely.

“Yes.” Never did the small person expect that Feng Xi only nodded affirmatively.

“What are your questions, Young Master?” The small person, resigning to his fate, asked that while having a bad foreboding.

“The girl who has beaten me the other day, who is she? Her dad seems to hold a significant post.”

The small person got speechless at once, not knowing why he had to answer that kind of question. Luckily, he was God of Books who was everywhere. Wherever there was a book, he would know what happened in that place. So he could still answer that question, otherwise he would only embarrass himself.

“The girl’s name is Dongfang Ling’er. Her father is the Prime Flamen of the Netherworld whose position is second only to King of the Netherworld. He did lots of things for the King. Dongfang Ling’er only behaved that arrogantly because she is the daughter of the Prime Flamen. But if she had known your identity, she wouldn’t have treated you like that.”

“I see. What is my identity anyway?” Feng Xi sniffled and asked that in perplexity.

“Eh… You’d better ask the King about that by yourself, Young Master.” Although the small person knew about something, he didn’t dare to say it.

“That makes sense. I’ll ask him later.” Feng Xi stroked his chin and agreed to that.

“Young Master, please don’t tell the King that I have told you all these, otherwise I’ll be doomed.” Hearing that Feng Xi really was planning to ask the King, the small person shouted that anxiously at once. If King of the Netherworld vent his anger on the small person, the latter would be vanished in the world. There would be no God of Books!

“I see!” Feng Xi waved his hand and ran out of the library.

“Young Master, wait, you…”

As the small person was about to say something, the boy had already got out of the library and was running toward the gate. The small person had wanted to tell the boy that the old man in white wouldn’t let the boy go since he hadn’t finished his task. As a result…

The small person’s thought was confirmed. Before Feng Xi could step his foot out of the gate, Uncle White stopped him right away.

Uncle White stared at Feng Xi with no expression on his face and asked indifferently, “Have you finished reading all those books? His Majesty has said that you couldn’t leave if you don’t finish.”

“Well… I…”

Feng Xi stared at Uncle White with two big eyes. He wanted to lie that he had already accomplished the task. But he didn’t know why he couldn’t say that out loud when facing that poker face of Uncle White. It seemed that this old man was able to see through his lie anyway.

“Since you haven’t, please go back!” Uncle White said that respectfully.

Feng Xi went back to the library depressedly. The small person was waiting for him on the book. He had already known that Feng Xi couldn’t get out.

“Hey, you can keep going now!” Feng Xi sat straightly on the ground.

“At your service, Young Master.” The small person gave obeisance to the boy. He actually got very pleased seeing the unhappy face of the boy, feeling his frustrations had finally been vent.

“The five books which His Majesty has chosen for you are mainly about the basic knowledge on the cultivation and the geography of the Three Worlds. I’ll tell you the grading of the cultivation first. The grading standards of humans’ cultivation are the same as the Demon Beasts’. There are three realms, which are the Magical Human, the Profound Heaven and the Heaven God realm. Each realm was divided into nine grades, just like the Demon Beast’s cultivation realm. Young Master, your have to cultivate yourself from the basic level. The Spiritual Energy in the Heaven World and the Demon World are very rich. Normally, the cultivation at the beginning is very easy. But after that, it only gets harder and harder.”

“So?”

“So if you don’t want to be bullied like you have been on that day, you’d better leave the palace after you have made enough achievements in your cultivation, or else you would run into something like that again. But don’t worry, since the Heaven Peak Palace is the place gathering all the Spiritual Energy. You will only get double the result by doing half of the work during your cultivation!”

“Then you have to continue telling me everything in the book, otherwise I can not go out.” Feng Xi didn’t care about the cultivation. He only wanted to hear all the things in the books.

The small person twitched his mouth and thought, ‘You really regard me as your moving library. You just don’t want to read the books!’

It turned out that, with the support of King of the Netherworld, the boy could do anything he wanted.

As a result, it only took two hours for the small person to tell everything in the books. That was so much more convenient than reading the books by the boy himself!

Feng Xi was so happy that he had found such a treasure, thinking, ‘That’s perfect! I won’t need to read the books by myself anymore. Every time I have questions, I can ask this God of Books. That’s so easy. When I get out, I have to let my leader present this small person to me.’

As the small person watched Feng Xi leaving, he suddenly sneezed…
