In a certain Blessed Land within the eastern part of the Underworld,
Dongkui sat cross-legged on a phoenix rock jade, frantically scratching her head.
In front of her floated six copper coin illusions emitting black aura, spinning wildly.
No matter how long passed, they showed no sign of stopping.
“What’s going on? What exactly is going on? Why can’t I deduce anything about this Ye Yu’s origin?”
Indeed, besides her mastery of thunder, Dongkui was also highly skilled in the art of divination.
As the saying goes,
When uncertain, I just start divining!
Though it sounded mystical, Dongkui had repeatedly avoided disasters through divination, gaining many treasures as a result.
To be blunt,
Aside from Ghost Emperor Realm experts, no one in the entire Underworld surpassed Dongkui in divination.
She certainly didn’t believe anyone could outmatch her.
This was not mere boasting, but genuine confidence.
Yet today, for some unknown reason,
No matter how she divined, she couldn’t uncover Ye Yu’s origin.
Normally, divination led to two outcomes.
First, success — the copper coin illusions would fall, and Dongkui would learn all she wished.
Second, failure — the coins would shatter; this only happened if the person’s aura was completely concealed by a stronger being or if their strength far exceeded Dongkui’s.
Either outcome wouldn’t surprise Dongkui much.
But now, a third outcome occurred:
She simply couldn’t divinate it at all.
This truly baffled Dongkui.
What the hell? What was going on?
Who was this guy that could be so strange?
Dongkui was utterly puzzled.
If he wasn’t a ghost, then his ghost aura and Ghost Immortal Technique had to be real.
If he was a ghost, then why was there no origin ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) for him?
Ah!!!
Such a headache.
Being a perfectionist, Dongkui hated leaving questions unanswered.
After much thought, she returned to Kuhan City to discreetly ask her disciple Ying Naiyan for more information.
To find out what exactly was going on with Ye Yu.
But upon arriving, she learned Ying Naiyan had already left with Ye Yu.
Where they had gone, no one knew.
Gone already?
Dongkui frowned tightly as her ghost aura uncontrollably spilled out.
The once pristine hall began to crack under the pressure.
Seeing this, Ye Family’s patriarch Ye Dongfang quickly said, “Senior, please calm down.
I don’t know where they went,
but I saw their figures apparently heading west!”
“West?”
Dongkui suddenly smiled.
Her own stupidity was laughable — though she couldn’t divine Ye Yu’s origin, she could divine Ying Naiyan’s location.
She nearly forgot such a simple fact.
It made her laugh at herself.
Meanwhile,
Ye Yu and Ying Naiyan sped westward through the Underworld.
The golden eye inside the giant egg in the dream had lingered in Ye Yu’s mind for a long time.
Now that the opportunity was right before him, how could he miss it?
This time he had to see with his own eyes what exactly was inside. And also to settle old scores.
Originally, Ye Yu didn’t plan to bring Ying Naiyan along.
After all, that egg had once exploded and killed people in the dream.
Whatever was inside was definitely not to be underestimated.
But Ying Naiyan absolutely refused to be left behind, clinging to Ye Yu’s body.
She had suffered long waits because Ye Yu left abruptly.
This time, no matter what happened, they would not separate.
Even if they died, it would be together.
In the end, Ying Naiyan wore Ye Yu down until he had no choice but to agree to take her.
Along the way, Ying Naiyan also told Ye Yu of her victories over fifty-eight sects in the Underworld’s west.
This surprised Ye Yu.
Especially after hearing her famous line:
“My husband took away your treasure pavilion — so what?
Why can’t you just endure it?
The sins of the predecessors must be paid by the next generation!
None of you will live!”
What a domineering declaration; on the unreasonable track, no one could compare.
Soon,
They arrived at the banks of the Falling Sun River in the Underworld’s west.
To be honest, Ye Yu could never forget this place, even in dreams.
So hateful!
But when he carefully observed the riverbank, his expression turned strange.
A huge pit had appeared below.
The location was right—it was here.
But the strange suction was gone.
Using his divine sense to probe downward, he found it empty, even the ghost aura was much thinner.
Could it be that they had already left?
After thinking it over, Ye Yu jumped straight into the pit.
Ying Naiyan followed closely.
Inside, the familiar stone cavern confirmed Ye Yu hadn’t made a mistake.
It was here—but where was the three-zhang giant egg?
Had it truly gone?
Considering the time passed, it was natural for it to leave after breaking.
Ye Yu sighed.
Just as he prepared to leave,
He suddenly noticed a piece of eggshell at his feet.
It had turned dull, a withered yellow—no longer shining as before.
It definitely came from that giant egg.
But logically, there should be many shell fragments—why only this one?
Where were the others?
Ye Yu was puzzled.
Suddenly, from the shadows came a hoarse voice:
“Put down what you hold and leave quickly, or die!”
Hearing this, Ye Yu immediately looked forward and scanned with divine sense.
But some mysterious power inside the shadow isolated everything.
Ye Yu couldn’t see what was inside.
Ying Naiyan instinctively stepped in front of Ye Yu and whispered telepathically:
“Husband, you go first. I’ll cover your retreat!”
Ye Yu laughed aloud.
“Do you take me for a powerless ghost?
Your realm isn’t high yet—you should be behind me!
Otherwise, you wouldn’t be covering my retreat, I’d be saving you.”
Ying Naiyan blushed deeply.
Indeed, her strength was low—quite embarrassing.
Ye Yu gently pulled her behind him and raised the eggshell in his hand.
He loudly said toward the shadow:
“If you want it, come and take it.
If you don’t dare, I’ll take it away!”
At these words,
Silence fell over the shadow.
No more sounds came.
The eerie quiet made the surroundings feel even more bizarre.
After waiting for who knows how long,
The shadow finally responded:
“Since you want it, I won’t fight you for it! But remember, I won’t let this matter go so easily!”
