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.”

“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!
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!”
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.”
