Countless dancing golden lightning bolts spread out behind him like a painting of destruction.
Realizing that it was too late to dodge, the King of Hell used his four arms to protect his head.
As Lu Yuan pointed his finger at Moongazer Serpent’s King of Hell, terrifying golden lightning instantly swept toward the King.
Boom!
The fierce golden lightning streaked across the sky and landed on the King of Hell.
The Moongazer Serpent’s King of Hell, who had been arrogant before, was instantly charred on the outside and tender on the inside by the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning.
In addition to the strong yang power of the lightning technique, the power of the Heavens contained in the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder also caused a lot of damage to the King of Hell.
After the lightning dissipated, two of the King of Hell’s four arms were completely shattered.
The remaining two were also charred from the lightning strikes.
The air was filled with a pungent burning smell.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, you’re very capable.”
The King of Hell looked at Lu Yuan, who had already landed on the ground and showed no intention of continuing the fight.
Even though he would definitely win if he continued to fight.
However, this battle was merely a sparring session.
He only wanted to test Lu Yuan’s strength.
If an Extrajudicial incarnation had such power, Lu Yuan’s main body would be even stronger.
And he was only at the Core Formation Stage.
The King of Hell couldn’t imagine how powerful the other party would be when he reached the Nascent Soul Stage.
This was the first time the King Of Hell had seen such a talented cultivator.
One had to know that he was at level 7 of the Nascent Soul Stage and was in his territory, the Ghost Realm.
His strength was definitely comparable to that of an ordinary level 8 Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.
As for Lu Yuan’s clone, he only had the strength of a cultivator at the Level 8 Core Formation Stage.
It could be said that Lu Yuan was fighting him across an entire rank.
Such strength could no longer be described as a genius.
The King of Hell wouldn’t doubt that he was the reincarnation of a True Immortal.
Since Lu Yuan had already shown enough strength, the King of Hell wouldn’t continue to make things difficult for him.
Those who could cultivate to the Nascent Soul Stage were not stupid.
In a situation where there was no conflict of interest between the two sides, it was better to make friends than to make enemies.
Lu Yuan naturally wouldn’t continue fighting with the Moongazer Serpent’s King of Hell.
He came to the Ghost Realm to do business, not to fight!
Moongazer Serpent Underworld.
“Come, come, come. Brother Lu, let me toast you.”
The King of Hell raised a cup of spiritual wine to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan also picked up the spiritual wine in his hand and returned the favor.
As the spiritual wine entered their throats, the two of them began to chat.
“Brother Lu, I’ve been paying attention to you since you were in the World of Living.”
“Oh?”
Hearing this, Lu Yuan’s interest was piqued.
Then Moongazer Serpent’s King of Hell explained the reasons and methods he used for paying attention to him.
Hearing that there was a strange item like the Book of Life and Death in the underworld, Lu Yuan secretly remembered it.
Since the Ghost Realm had such a divine artifact that was similar to karma, there was a high chance that the Upper Realm would have something similar.
Originally, Lu Yuan thought that if he broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm, he should be able to deceive the Apotheosis Stage cultivators of the Upper Realm.
Now, however, it seemed that he was still a little too naive.
If he didn’t have any special means, there was a high chance that he wouldn’t be able to fool those people.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan probed, “Brother Moongazer Serpent, has there been anyone who has escaped the detection of this Book of Life and Death?”
The King of Hell replied while eating, “It’s not that there hasn’t been one. It’s said that in ancient times, a monkey broke into the underworld and snatched the Book of Life and Death from that time. It also removed all the monkeys and grandchildren, including itself, from the Book of Life and Death. From then on, they transcended beyond the Three Realms and exist outside the Five Elements.”
“If you want to avoid the detection of the Life and Death Book, you must do this.”
“However, ever since this incident, the underworld has also been very careful. Since then, the Book of Life and Death has been in the deepest part of the underworld, and no one has been able to touch it.”
“The Book of Life and Death in my hands is just a projection. It only has a part of the real book.”
“So now, basically no one can avoid the records of the Book of Life and Death.”
After hearing this, Lu Yuan was silent for a moment before continuing, “Then is there a divine artifact like the Book of Life and Death in the Upper Realm?” “Brother, do you have enemies in the Upper Realm?” Ghost King of Hell Moongazer asked.”
Lu Yuan shook his head. “Not really. It’s just that I don’t like to show off. I just want to cultivate alone and seek longevity.”
“That’s why I don’t want outsiders to know too much about my situation.”
“I see. 1 understand.”
“Actually, there is something similar to the Book of Life and Death in the Upper Realm.”
When he heard that the Upper Realm really had something similar to the Book of Life and Death, Lu Yuan immediately asked, “What is it?”
“The True Immortal Record.”
“True Immortal Record?”
“This True Immortal Record is actually a huge stone tablet that is guarded by the White Jade City of the Upper Realm.”
“I forgot to mention that White Jade City is an extremely mysterious existence even in the Upper Realm. I heard that those who can enter the city are either reincarnated immortals or people with the appearance of true immortals.”
“The reason why 1 said that the True Immortal Record is similar to the Book of Life and Death is that the function of the True Immortal Record is to record the luck of each cultivator after the Nascent Soul stage.”
“Generally speaking, a cultivator’s talent and luck complement each other. The more talented a cultivator is, the more luck they have. This is almost universally acknowledged.”
“And the luck of a cultivator is not constant. Some cultivators are born with luck like dragons, but in the later stages, due to various reasons, their luck will decrease and they will become ordinary people.”
“Some people may not show their talents at the beginning, but in the future, they will accumulate their strength and their luck will rise steadily. These will be recorded in the True Immortal Record.”
“The Book of Life and Death records a cultivator’s lifespan, while the True Immortal Record records a cultivator’s luck.”
“With the help of the True Immortal Record, White Jade City can extradite many people with great luck in advance.”
“In my opinion, Brother Lu, if you go to the Upper Realm, you will definitely be noticed by those guys from White Jade City.”
Hearing this, Lu Yuan fell into deep thought.
The Book of Life and Death recorded the life span of a cultivator, while the Record of True Immortals recorded luck.
These two were within the rules, and it was hard to avoid them.
Lu Yuan could not do anything about a person’s natural life span, but he felt that he could control luck.
He felt that the luck recorded in the True Immortal Record should not be recorded in real-time. There must be a certain rule.
For example, record it once a year or longer.
After all, if it was updated in real-time, it would be equivalent to monitoring the entire Upper Realm.
If the way of the heavens could really do this, there wouldn’t be so many heretics.
As long as he could figure out the refresh pattern of the True Immortal Record, he could use his luck or transfer it to another place when the divine artifact’s information refreshed.
Then, he would be able to avoid the detection of the True Immortal Record.
However, these were only Lu Yuan’s own guesses. The actual situation had yet to be verified.
In the short term, he would not enter the Upper Realm, so he had more time to think about how to hide himself.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan no longer hesitated. Instead, he talked about serious matters with the King of Hell without any delay.
“Brother Moongazer Serpent, 1 came down this time mainly because I have something to discuss with you.”
“Brother Lu, feel free to speak.”
Lu Yuan took out a phone that he had brought from the World of Living from his storage bag.
“Brother Moongazer Serpent, this is called a spiritual phone. Its functions include mental training, voice transmission from a thousand miles away, and video recording.”
“Previously, I learned that Brother Moongazer Serpent worried about the lack of manpower in the underworld and was unable to carry out the ghost-catching business well.”
“I thought about it and realized that 1 seem to have a solution.”
“What is it? Brother, tell me!”
Lu Yuan held his spiritual phone and said with a smile, “My idea is actually very simple. I think that since the underworld doesn’t have enough manpower, then Brother Moongazer Serpent, you can actually find some helpers in the World of Living to help the reapers do things.”
“1 call this operation…Dingding Ghostcatcher..”
