The Elders Who Apply Both Kindness and Authority Chapter 912: 370: The Legend of Ghost Emperor Yuan!
The Elders Who Apply Both Kindness and Authority The ferocious ghost Chu Xun certainly had some tricks up his sleeve, with a blood-red, elongated tongue that stretched out like a rope capable of wrapping around a person, long enough to be shoved directly into someone’s stomach.
Paired with the typically paralyzing Yin Thunder, his sturdy and powerful limbs, and a tail like a flail belonging to an evil ghost, he easily subdued the two Ghost Ladies.

It wasn’t even past midnight yet.
Soon enough, the two Ghost Ladies spilled everything, detailing with utmost clarity what color of undergarments the Ghost King of the Netherworld preferred to wear.
“Stop asking about such indecent things, I want to know what this device of the Netherworld Old Ghost is for?”
Chen Dengming waved his hand impatiently, signaling the ferocious ghost Chu Xun to bring the two Ghost Ladies over for his personal interrogation.
...
The two Ghost Ladies, one after another, thoroughly answered all of Chen Dengming’s various questions.
“We don’t know how many years the Ghost King of the Netherworld has lived, but according to rumors in the Underground Mansion, the Ghost King has lived for at least three thousand years—a Ghost Monarch whose Yin lifespan extends remarkably…”
“Unlike human cultivators, ghost cultivators have limited Yin lifespans, but each time they break through to a higher power level, their Yin lifespans can be extended.
Moreover, many powerful ghost cultivators own expanses of Yin Soil and even Nether Spring.
Yin Soil and Nether Spring can create Ghost Shades, significantly lengthening the lifespans of ghost cultivators, prompting other powerful ghosts to join them…”
“The Ghost King of the Netherworld, as it stands today, might already be a mid-stage Divine Transformation Monarch…”
“Rumors say that in the depths of the Nether Spring Underground Mansion, there once was a great Ghost Emperor named Yuan.
Yuan aspired to use Yin Soil, the Underworld River, and eighty-one Nether Springs as foundations to establish an Underground Mansion that could rival the Heavenly Immortal World, Mortal World, God Celestial Court, and Earth Spirit World—a paradise on the Ghost Path…
Unfortunately, it seems he failed in the end, and Ghost Emperor Yuan vanished.
Thereafter began the era of regional rule by various Ghost Monarchs and Ghost Kings; what we now call the Ghost Shade era.
Numerous powerful Ghost Monarchs took control of the Nether Springs, competing for resources, and no one remembers the grand aspirations once set by Ghost Emperor Yuan anymore…
The Nether Spring Underground Mansion has since fallen into obscurity…
It has been many years since a new Ghost Monarch with a presence in the Ghost Shades has emerged…”
“Ghost Emperor Yuan…”
Chen Dengming mulled over these three words, inquiring of the Mini Array Spirit through the Jade Talisman for Message Transmission.
“Inside the Nether Spring Underground Mansion, Divine Transformation ghost cultivators are called Ghost Monarchs, whereas Nascent Soul ghost cultivators are called Ghost Kings.
This Yuan, revered as Emperor by countless ghosts, must have been a Ghost Cultivator who achieved He Dao and had thoroughly penetrated both heaven and earth, right?
Do you remember a rumor about a cultivator of the Earth Immortal Dao, a powerful He Dao expert who became the Netherworld Mansion, vowed to open a realm for the strongest Earth Immortal to establish the Underground Mansion, giving all beings a place for reincarnation…
In the end, this strong entity entered beneath the Nether Spring, could it be this very Ghost Emperor Yuan?”
Mini Array Spirit furrowed its brows, “It’s very, very possible, but the rumor that has been circulating might also be skewed.
Why would a revered He Dao Earth Immortal switch to becoming a ghost cultivator to establish the Netherworld Mansion?”
Chen Dengming smiled, “You’ve forgotten about another rumor that this predecessor was possibly cultivating both the Ghost Path and the Earth Path simultaneously.
If he intended to merge the two paths, establishing an Underground Mansion comparable to the Earth Spirit World, it seems plausible.
However, rumors are after all just rumors.
Right now, we can only guess and cannot know the truth…”
“Maybe the rumor is true,” said the Mini Array Spirit, gazing intently at Chen Dengming with a serious expression on its tiny face.
“A He Dao predecessor—every step they take from that point on, is unknown to us, and it may hold deep significance.
Like you, who also cultivate both the Human Immortal and the Heavenly Immortal paths, perhaps one day you’ll want to establish a Heavenly Human World too…”
“Heavenly Human World?”
Chen Dengming was taken aback and laughed, “That name sounds rather unpleasant.
Plus, such grand aspirations, I wouldn’t dare to pursue lightly.
This Ghost Emperor Yuan was such a tyrannical being and yet disappeared before he could establish the Netherworld Mansion.
Perhaps establishing a new realm is too treacherous, touching the interests of certain powerhouses, and that might be why Yuan vanished…”
At this point, Chen Dengming also laughed at himself for taking it too seriously, even debating earnestly.
Yet, thinking about it more deeply, it was indeed quite terrifying.
Why did the Heavenly Immortal World and the Human Immortal Realm collapse originally?
And that God Celestial Court and Earth Spirit World, they probably aren’t doing well now either.
Perhaps something did occur in the ancient times.
After communicating with the Mini Array Spirit, Chen Dengming further questioned the Ghost Brides on a few issues to confirm that they weren’t deceiving him.
The Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch had also revealed some information about the Ghost King of the Netherworld to him, even more detailed than what the two Ghost Brides had provided.
If the two Ghost Brides had any deceit, he would be able to spot it at first glance.
After all, in terms of spiritual cultivation, he was on the level of an Ancestral Grand Master, and it would be difficult for these two Ghost Brides to pull any tricks on him.
After the interrogation, Chen Dengming handed the two Ghost Brides over to the Mini Array Spirit and the ghost man Chu Xun to toy with.
According to the Mini Array Spirit, the Dark Spirit had ways to control the two Ghost Brides.
And with Old Zhu willing to take over the business of the Netherworld Old Ghost, Chen Dengming didn’t want to play the cruel role of destroying their marriage prospects.
If they could be converted to his cause and utilized for his benefit, that would be ideal.
In the future, when Old Zhu entered beneath the Nether Spring, having two guides could be quite a good arrangement.
…
Time quickly advanced to two days later.
Early in the morning, Zuo Qiuling couldn’t contain his joy as he relayed a sensational piece of good news through the Jade Talisman for Message Transmission.
Then, he immediately planned to send someone to summon Chen Dengming and the others who were still at the base from when they carried out the “Forbidden Nether” plan.
Before he could issue the order, he realized that the only ones left at the base were Feng Qingbo and Chen Dengming.
