Chapter 1563: Chapter 1563: Has This Kid Gone Mad?

The sudden system alert ignited a flame in Jiang Xiaobai’s heart.

The first thing he noticed was choice three!

A trade with the Underworld?

This method was simply unthinkable. A trade would surely come with a price; what if it couldn’t be completed–wouldn’t that spell doom?

And it had to be completed within three months!

Was this some kind of joke?

For hundreds of thousands of years, the Underworld’s seals had not been broken. How could he possibly manage it in three months?

What on earth does it mean by opening an ancient relic?

“Kid, stop dreaming. You don’t understand the situation with the Underworld, nor should you fantasize about breaking the seal. If you could break it, I’d kneel down and call you daddy with no problems.”

With a chuckle, Zhong Kui said, “Let’s go, this place isn’t for you.”

“Hold on!”

All of a sudden, Jiang Xiaobai raised his head and stared intently at the phantom of Zhong Kui.

He had already made his choice!

“I want to trade with the Underworld, to break the seal, within three months!”

Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes were filled with scarlet as he stared at Zhong Kui, pronouncing each word distinctly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone felt their brains crash!

The Black and White Impermanence’s eyes widened, with their bright red tongues seeming a bit longer!

Zhong Kui was also completely stupefied.

What did he hear?

Break the Underworld’s seal within three months?

Is that even possible?

However, at the back of the crowd, Xin’s expression changed, filled with disbelief.

“How does this kid know about trading with the Underworld?”

Xin was shocked; after all, the Underworld’s seals had been in place for hundreds of thousands of years. Apart from a few specific people privy to this secret, how could Jiang Xiaobai possibly know?

He thought of the Emperor’s Mausoleum.

“It seems there are things I don’t know about. Oh, Mighty Spirit, what are you up to now?”

Xin narrowed his eyes; the situation in the Underworld was not something Jiang Xiaobai could handle on his own.

At this moment, Zhong Kui finally came to his senses, curiously eyeing Jiang Xiaobai up and down.

“You kid, how do you know you can make a trade with the Underworld?”

“That’s something, Senior, you needn’t ask about–I came to know it by chance.”

Jiang Xiaobai spoke earnestly: “Although I don’t know the current situation in the Underworld, there’s no need for the Underworld to reject this, right?”

“Reject? You probably have no idea how difficult this is.”

Zhong Kui laughed, shook his head, and waved his hand at Jiang Xiaobai: “Let’s go, you better not harbor such thoughts, otherwise…”

Before he could finish speaking, Zhong Kui suddenly froze!

Just a moment ago, an idea flashed through his mind compelling him to agree, and this voice, it sounded so damn familiar!

Immediately after, Zhong Kui saw Xin at the back of the crowd, smiling at him.

He shivered all over!

What the heck, why has he returned!

“Otherwise what? Go on, say it.” Jiang Xiaobai raised his eyebrows and spoke, interrupting Zhong Kui’s inner turmoil.

Then Zhong Kui glanced at Jiang Xiaobai, then cautiously at Xin, and finally gritted his teeth and said.

“Nothing otherwise. Since you fancy courting death, then I might as well oblige!”

“The Power of Reincarnation!”

As Zhong Kui shouted angrily, some of the Underworld’s power of reincarnation was mobilized, descending upon this road of Yellow Springs.

It directly caused the many great powers within Fengdu City to open their eyes, faces filled with shock.

Who is manipulating the power of reincarnation?

What is this for?

At this moment, Zhong Kui had already applied the power of reincarnation on Jiang Xiaobai.

“You better think this through, kid. This transaction is not with me, but with Fengdu City. This is the power of reincarnation. If you can’t fulfill the deal, you can only imagine the consequences for yourself.”

Ultimately, Zhong Kui still reminded him, “The underworld’s seal is indeed not due to its own reasons, something rarely known. I don’t know where you learned this, but I’ll warn you one last time; the seal is not something you can resolve. And within three months? That’s simply a fantasy!”

Hearing Zhong Kui’s words, Jiang Xiaobai remained silent, aware of his current situation.

He must enter the underworld; he must awaken Yan’er!

He does not have much time left.

Of course, if he could find a solution to extend his lifespan in the underworld, that would be good too.

“I’m well aware, since I’ve decided to trade with the underworld, I’ve naturally considered the consequences.”

Jiang Xiaobai gritted his teeth, “But the underworld’s seal isn’t really the problem of the underworld itself?”

“Hmm… to some extent, yes, but more than that I don’t know and cannot say. Only if you truly decide to trade with the underworld, will you know.”

“The underworld has its will too.”

Zhong Kui spoke slowly. Despite his status in the underworld, he was not privy to the core matters.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xiaobai was seriously feeling the power of reincarnation in his body, his heart filled with tension.

“Since you’ve made up your mind, then just proceed.”

After Zhong Kui finished speaking, he did not interfere any further. After all, the one who asked him to agree to this would deal with any subsequent issues.

However, Zhong Kui then thought, now that this person has returned, could that big shot also be here?

His gaze began to wander over Jiang Xiaobai and the others, finally settling on Qin Ruonan’s face.

“Hiss, it couldn’t be her, could it?”

Zhong Kui was baffled.

At this moment, suddenly the power of reincarnation began to fluctuate, and a surge of intention was imposed onto Jiang Xiaobai.

The trade had begun!

The contract was signed, this was a trade between Jiang Xiaobai and the underworld. Should Jiang Xiaobai fail, the consequences were unimaginable!

The will of the underworld, although not comparable to the Heavenly Dao, was also quite cold.

You trade with me, succeed, and I naturally reward you boundlessly.

But if you fail, it will be what it will be.

A trade can’t mean getting something without giving anything in return, can it?

Even the prerequisite for trading is that you must give first!

At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai only felt a strand of reincarnation power entering his soul, his expression growing more solemn.

The moment he traded with the underworld, the will of the underworld laid out the terms directly.

The trade is possible, but under the condition that failure must cost a life, serving the underworld for a million years!

This meant that if he failed, he would entirely transition from a living person to a dead one, and then work for the underworld as a Yin messenger for a million years!

After a million years of labor, to reenter the cycle of reincarnation!

But he didn’t care!

His own life expectancy was less than a year and a half anyway, if he died, then so be it. At worst, he could become a Yin messenger for the underworld. Anyway, surviving in another form for a million years was not impossible.

Then, wave after wave of thoughts rushed into Jiang Xiaobai’s mind through the power of reincarnation.

He understood why the underworld had been sealed, and he also learned many more secrets.

His heart was extraordinarily shocked!

These secrets even related to the devastating war that occurred during the era of the Heavenly Court!

As he was absorbing this information in astonishment, suddenly a figure appeared before Jiang Xiaobai.

This person was King Qin Guang, the strongest of the Ten Yama Kings of the underworld!

King Qin Guang looked at Jiang Xiaobai, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Has this kid gone mad?
