Zhuo Fan said, “The Nether Sovereign said in his guiding poem that lost souls may roam in the Nether Sea, lest they will be destroyed on sight. That’s why the Gambling Emperor had such a grizzly death.”

Everyone nodded.

“You mean to say only the dead can enter?”

He Xiaofeng rose an eyebrow, “Once you’re dead, what’s the point?”

Zhuo Fan shook his head, “The Nether Sovereign says that a living body can’t enter, or they die, not that entering means death. The roaming lost soul part means renouncing the flesh so you may drift towards the Nether Sea.”

“Renounce the body? What do you mean?”

“It points at the soul, leaving the body behind so you may enter.” Zhuo Fan spoke firmly.

Everyone hesitated. That was just too dangerous. A mistake from Zhuo Fan’s part meant they would all die! contemporary romance

He Xiaofeng was grave as he pointed at Zhuo Fan, “Is that your idea? Then go test it.”

“Test it yourself!” Bali Yuyu growled from behind in anger, Zhuo Fan tried to stop her.

Zhuo Fan had a cruel smile, “Sorry, but one needs to be at Ethereal Stage at the least to wander as a soul. I’m in the Bone Tempering Stage and can’t do it, ha-ha-ha…”

“Then you go!”

Humph snapped at Bali Yuyu, “Since you talk too much, you’ll go instead!”

Bali Yuyu was ready to blow. The only thing keeping her from snapping his neck was that he had power beyond her imagination.

Zhuo Fan sighed, “Fine, I’ll go myself. Yuyu, stand back.”

“Isn’t it impossible for you?”

“I just realized our clan’s secret art and can soul drift even at Bone Tempering Stage.” Zhuo Fan showed an evil grin, “It’s all thanks to the Saint’s reminder, or I would’ve completely forgotten about it.”

He Xiaofeng sneered, “Then go already. Use actions to prove your undying gratitude for yours truly.”

“I shall pave sir’s way!” Zhuo Fan gnashed his teeth and showed a dark smile.

He then sat down to pop out his soul.

Bali Yuyu started, “Wait, I’ll go instead!”

“No, it’s fine. You and Shuang’er can wait outside and look after my body.” Zhuo Fan spoke and turned to the light pillar withp uncertainty.

It was just a guess he had about the poem, nothing more. He either nailed it, or his soul would get nailed.

He could only gamble.

Any other nobody could’ve done this job, but the Saint was clearly singling him out to get rid of him. Refusing would just give an excuse to kill him.

Since he gambled, let providence decide.

[Let’s hope luck’s with me and I don’t end up like the Gambling Emperor.]

Zhuo Fan grew stern and he closed his eyes. A faint image floated out of his head, drifting for the light pillar.

The others forgot to breathe while watching him test his theory. If a Bone Tempering soul had no trouble passing, then it had to be safe.

If the soul popped, then they would just think of another way.

Everyone was tense and on edge, some over the outcome, others for Zhuo Fan’s safety.

Chu Qingcheng was worried for Zhuo Fan’s soul as it ventured near danger. But with He Xiaofeng holding her back, she could do nothing.

“Hurry up and enter…” He Xiaofeng was impatient from excitement, even easing Chu Qingcheng’s hand.

Chu Qingcheng yanked it out of his grip and sat down. Another faint image appeared over her head and she shot for the pillar, “Zhuo Fan, wait, I’ll try!”

Zhuo Fan blinked as an image shot by him into the light.

Only then did he realize, “Qingcheng, don’t…”

He also went in.

Whoosh~

Both of them ended up entering at the same time, causing the Enchanting Empress to shout, “Qingcheng!”

They were beyond saving now. No one went in after them either, only staring at the light pillar.

Hum~

A wave of power shot out as the pillar joined with the heavens. The death star shone above and the two souls inside floated higher towards it, gone in an instant.

“The souls survived and teleported!”

Zhao Chen cheered, “Steward Zhuo’s theory is right. You need to let go of your body to enter the Nether Sea. Ha-ha-ha, Steward Zhuo is a genius indeed to solve this riddle. Now we can venture safely inside the Nether Sea.”

Bali Yuyu nodded, relieved.

She cared not about the Nether Sea, but for Zhuo Fan.

The Enchanting Empress and the girls were excited, “Saint, there’s no problem and we can go in.”

“Right.”

He Xiaofeng was thrilled, then he regarded the Demonic Emperor’s group, “Demonic Emperor, walk with me. Enchanting Empress, you stay behind and look after my body.”

Ugh!

The Enchanting Empress panicked, “But, young master He, why let them join you? I also want to go to the Nether Sea…”

“Enchanting Empress!”

He Xiaofeng shouted, sending her, “You belong to my father and I trust you the most. The Demonic Emperor is too devious. I’m taking him along to watch out for his tricks. You stay behind and look after his people and stop them from doing anything. This is the safest solution. Don’t betray my father’s trust in you!”

The Enchanting Empress nodded, “Young master thinks of everything.”

“And that Zhuo Fan…”

He Xiaofeng’s eyes flashed with murder, “You’re right, Qingcheng cares for him, running into danger for him. If he survives, it would only hold Qingcheng back. Even if a mere Bone Tempering cultivator…”

“Sir wants to…”

“I’ll take his life inside the Nether Sea.”

“No, no!”

The Enchanting Empress advised, “Killing the person Qingcheng cares about and you may never get her heart. Qingcheng needs to be devoted to you for your plan…”

“I know her heart is more important than her man. I’m not that impulsive.”

He Xiaofeng gave an annoyed wave, “Humph, but with the Nether Sea so deadly, he might come upon a little accident. All that remains is for Qingcheng to never find out about it.”

The Enchanting Empress nodded, “I’ll leave it to young master He. Just be sure to hide it.”

“You think I don’t know that?”

He Xiaofeng huffed, then his soul came out before everyone, “Demonic Emperor, hurry up and join me!”

Zhao Chen figured out his intent and gave Bali Yuyu a look to get ready for anything, before letting out his soul and following He Xiaofeng.

The two entered the light pillar and vanished.

The two groups looked after the bodies…

Two light pillars shone down and faded to reveal two people, a man and a woman. Looking at herself and finding she was solid, Chu Qingcheng started, “We can enter with our bodies? I thought only souls could enter. Did you know my soul is a white lotus? I thought you wouldn’t recognize me.”

“We’re in yin bodies, probably because we’re in the Nether Sovereign’s seat of enlightenment.”

Zhuo Fan came before her and sighed, “Silly girl, why did you risk yourself for me? If my theory was wrong, you’d have died.”
