Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Chapter 620 I'm a Ghost in the Underworld, Generation 2, Part 36

For thousands of years,

Those cultivators who remain in the mortal realm hold a rather special status.

They are few in number, yet they must survive in a realm with even fewer cultivation resources. The Celestial Realm and the Underworld are said to be responsible for most of the affairs of the mortal world: the Heavenly Court controls the weather and the Underworld oversaw the Book of Life and Death. But in reality, it is the overly complex human environment that makes the celestial lords of both the Heavenly and the Underworld unwilling to linger in the mortal world for long.

Only those at the grassroots level, like the Earth God and Earth Goddess, remain in the human world year-round. They can sustain their spiritual practice solely through the continuous offerings from small local communities.

Most rookies are unwilling to deal with these issues, especially the trivial ones that involve too many conflicts. After only a few attempts, they give up on getting involved in management and instead try to cultivate the system to promote internal circulation.

After finally managing to maintain stability in the human world, it was discovered over the past few years that the human world could not do without the existence of righteous cultivators. Even without being given a title, the earth would naturally give birth to cultivators. However, without communication with the other two realms, this group almost became "evil cultivators".

Stumbling and fumbling, trying to master superhuman power through trial and error, whether it leads to demonic possession or wreaking havoc on the world, both are terrible outcomes.

As for,

Those who discover they possess cultivation but haven't committed any evil deeds mostly keep their secrets until their ascension, remaining unknown. If their abilities are outstanding, they are taken away by Heaven and Earth, leaving only "evil cultivators" in the mortal realm.

For this,

That's why we can focus on cultivating several families of cultivators in resource-rich locations across the country.

They are not required to uphold justice and righteousness; as long as they do not do bad things and act as a conduit for communication with the Three Realms, they will be offered plenty of resources and benefits nurtured by Heaven and Earth.

No matter how cautious they are, they have grown greedy over the years, developed their own system, and become extremely sophisticated and rapid.

They were organized into clans and sects, and devoted all their resources to cultivating their techniques.

Because it was a vertical expansion, it did not result in the phenomenon that the entire area was populated by cultivators.

It was basically passed down only within the family, and the number of descendants born from aristocratic families was relatively small. The few sects that had close exchanges with each other were not very large, which is why the Heavenly Court did not have the intention to frequently intervene and control them.

but,

It's clear that some people are dissatisfied with the order of "Heaven, Earth, and Man" and want to kick the underworld aside to enjoy more resources.

The most powerful aspect is the emergence of numerous ancient texts in the human world that glorify the ultimate justice of the celestial court and the underworld, describing it as a gloomy and terrifying hell where people only engage in exploitation. They say that one should not accept offerings, and that one should trample on those one encounters and bravely resist them.

In doing so, they not only intend to seize the resources of the underworld, but also to dissolve the meaning of their existence.

The injustices that are beyond human control or observation are the last vestiges of dignity preserved by the underworld.

It can be said that the underworld possesses both humanity and justice.

On the contrary, the Heavenly Court is overly romanticized to the point of being unrealistic and easily blindly worshipped. In reality, it is no different from the underworld on earth, and they also have a very realistic order.

It's even more extreme than the selection criteria used by the underworld.

It's not about ability, but about background—whoever's disciple, grand-disciple, or servant they are, they naturally have an aura that makes them superior.

Even though the underworld considers a person's character and studies whether they have done good deeds in their past and present lives, no matter how poor their background, their efforts will not be wasted, and they will have the opportunity to stay and take up a position.

Black and White Impermanence and Qingze are the best proof.

It's not about right to criticize anyone; each has its own system, has undergone countless reshuffles, and there will certainly be a new order to be reorganized. Recognizing this is the key to a peaceful mindset.

Regardless of whether this trial of the Three Realms is due to the extraordinary rarity and allure of magical treasures, the human forces' intention to devour the Underworld, or the Heavenly Court's manipulation of the human world to make them weaken each other and quietly eliminate those who are not to their liking, all these questions remain unanswered.

Xia Youmi didn't even intend to analyze it.

She had only one core objective: to maintain the stability of their lives in the underworld and not allow any changes to their resources or status.

On their way there, she and Xiao Hei noticed something unusual about some factions based on the information left by the three little ones. They confirmed with each team that had a different opinion of them and left a novel magical artifact at their and their opponents' encampments.

Some were exchanged, some were sold directly or given away, but they all wanted to keep them.

On the surface, it's just an ordinary photo, a short record of what's in front of you.

Actually, this thing exists in both Heaven and the Underworld, but it's extremely rare in the human world, and there are basically no channels for its distribution.

Xia Youmi's version is an improved version, bypassing the supervision procedures of Heaven and the Underworld, so it can be considered a castrated version.

But a small feature was added.

In other words, she holds the master switch and can control the transmission of the contents she holds. Although the geographical distribution is vast and the speed is a bit slow, it can still achieve the basic function.

Originally, the plan was to use existing technology and magic to connect the small world with its absolute barrier every year.

But it failed.

Although the era controlled by the Black and White Impermanence can transcend time.

However, their original existence and magical artifacts relied on the traditional era, where there was more abundant spiritual energy to sustain their cultivation.

Things invented by modern humans cannot be taken back; they are subject to absolute time and space limitations. Forcibly reversing time will cause them to disappear and backfire. Therefore, cultivators living in the Three Realms have basically never heard of the modern world.

After years of unsuccessful experiments, he decided to invent something that conformed to the rules right now.

At least, it allows the apprentice to see the screen directly from a great distance.

unfortunately,

A stable version was only created after they embarked on their trials.

So we can only let these heroes enjoy it first.

Then raise prices to lay the foundation for future business.

"Master, it seems they're gathering and about to attack us." Ji Jun glanced outside the door and presented the facts in an extremely calm tone. They had just heard that the Black and White Impermanence had scattered many recording stones along the way and released footage of their confrontation that day. The outside world was probably in an uproar.

"Hehe, they're probably still marveling at Master's prowess," Qingze said proudly. "We didn't see it this clearly or steadily before."

The three children occasionally witnessed or helped their master work on some of the classic texts and secret methods left by their grandmaster.

Of course, I know the progress. Now that the photo stone is so perfect, I can't help but feel worried for the old master.

It is really,

Master is so insightful.

As long as the main control switch is not modified, all the devices that are acquired can only loop through the content that Xia Youmi wants them to see. It cannot be turned off, nor can it be damaged by smashing, ensuring that they can promptly spread the message to the people who need to know.

However, there are limitations.

Those without spiritual power cannot see it.

If a cultivator were to display a stone and make a fuss about it, ordinary people would only laugh at him, thinking he was crazy and talking nonsense. It was just an ordinary stone, without even a pattern.

“That’s not right,” Cha Ying retorted after hearing Qing Ze’s words. “Master didn’t give them anything, so of course they can’t see it.”

"Ha ha!"

"Then we'll have to wait several more days." Qingze was eager to try his hand at it. His master had taught him that if an outsider made the first move without reason, he should just seize the opportunity to solidify his skills.

"No, they don't need to understand. As long as they relay the news that his reputation is ruined, they can't wait to cause a scene." Ji Jun's tone remained calm. "Heh... I'm afraid they've been waiting for this for a long time."

After practicing under the guidance of the Black and White Impermanence, Ji Jun became increasingly composed and made the fastest progress in cultivating her Daoist heart.

Because he no longer harbored illusions and understood how the system worked, he was able to accurately position himself and exert his efforts.

He gradually came to understand his uniqueness.

However, from Xia Youmi's indifferent expression, Ji Jun could sense that this was not such a glamorous path.

It's not just some simple privilege that makes people feel hot and embarrassed.

Instead,

The beautiful dream built for him wasn't really that beautiful.

She couldn't break free for the time being, because Ji Jun also needed to use this training to quickly strengthen her own resolve. A sense of calm within her would give her more composure and fighting spirit when bad news struck.

These intentions are hidden in the teachings of the masters.

Without mentioning it or letting his fellow disciples know, Qingze and the others regarded Ji Jun as a fellow disciple chosen by fate, and took him along in everything.

With a master in hand,

What he learned from this trip to Lingmai Mountain was to cherish even more the days when he could still stand by his small sect, the Black and White Impermanence in the Underworld.

There will be storms and cruel partings in the future, and we shouldn't burden them with those responsibilities.

By then,

In the future, he will have something to look back on.

The three little ones each carried their own special image stones, prepared their healing potions and magical artifacts, and were ready to face this battle with a clear conscience. Each had their own reasons, and they were all different. They would be peaceful and amiable as long as others did not offend them, but the facts were already before them.

Come on.
