Primordial Era: Even the Three Pure Ones have to obediently call me Second Uncle

Chapter 210 Zhen Yuanzi and the Styx Meet

The moment Zhen Yuanzi stepped into the underworld, he was suddenly struck by a deafening, earth-shattering howl and painful groans.

These sounds seemed to come from the deepest hell, echoing throughout the entire underworld, sending chills down one's spine.

Even Zhen Yuanzi's body trembled involuntarily at this moment, and a chill rose from his spine.

"Be good"

Zhen Yuanzi exclaimed inwardly, "How can the underworld be so terrifying? Just hearing those screams is enough to send chills down one's spine!"

However, after Zhen Yuanzi calmed down a bit, he took a deep breath, tried to calm his nervousness, and began to carefully observe his surroundings.

But upon looking at it, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Before them appeared a group of dead souls, dazed and confused, lined up in a long queue, moving slowly and orderly forward.

However, apart from these mindless souls, Zhen Yuanzi was surprised to find that there was not a single person in charge of the underworld here.

This put Zhen Yuanzi in a difficult position. He wanted to find out where to report to, but he didn't even have anyone to ask.

After a brief moment of thought and hesitation, Zhen Yuanzi finally gritted his teeth and decided to walk in the direction from which the howling sounds came from.

Presumably, they encountered some malevolent spirits with terrifying karma over there, and the seniors of the underworld went there to judge them.

Once he gets there, he should be able to meet the seniors under the Daoist Master.

As for the danger, Zhen Yuanzi didn't think too much about it.

After all, those currently working in the underworld are all attendants under the Daoist Master's command!

As their master said, these children were created by the Great Dao. In terms of the length of time since their birth, they are even older than their master!

With such a powerful being guarding this place, who in the entire primordial world would dare to act recklessly and create chaos here?

However, as Zhen Yuanzi drew closer to the chilling groans of pain, his fear intensified.

Even with his current cultivation level of mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, he could clearly sense his primordial spirit trembling and shaking amidst the deafening, sky-piercing howls.

Despite Zhen Yuanzi's best efforts to suppress the trembling of his primordial spirit, he was still unable to completely suppress the faint sense of fear that quietly welled up from the depths of his heart.

Even as time went by, Zhen Yuanzi's cheeks turned pale.

The owner of these voices is definitely more powerful than him.

It is highly likely that they are all at the level of Hunyuan Golden Immortal.

But this also puzzled Zhen Yuanzi.

How could such a malevolent spirit suffer such a torment?

The screams were so heart-wrenching.

We don't know what kind of grave sins they committed in their lives that led to this torment.

Outside Yang Mei's palace, Styx was crouching there, trembling.

It wasn't that he didn't want to leave, but his master and all his senior uncles were being punished, so he dared not leave.

If he leaves, given the temperaments of his master and senior uncles, he will likely be the one punished.

While Styx was pondering how to comfort his master and senior master,

He suddenly raised an eyebrow, abruptly stood up, and turned to look.

But upon seeing this, his face immediately darkened with anger, and he sternly rebuked, "Who are you? How dare you act so recklessly, trespassing into this Netherworld without permission! Leave at once and do not linger here! Otherwise, if you lose your life because of this, do not blame me for not warning you in advance!"

You must know that the underworld is not a place that just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can set foot in.

Aside from the spirits of the dead who have passed away and are now reincarnated, only those who work in the underworld are allowed to enter and exit freely.

After all, the underworld is of great importance, being the manifestation of the underworld and the place of reincarnation. If people with ulterior motives are allowed to enter and exit at will, there is no guarantee that some mishaps will not occur.

Even though his master was Pingpeng, he could not overstep his bounds. Only after his master arranged for him to be a soul-collecting messenger could he enter the underworld.

Despite Styx's rebuke, Zhen Yuanzi remained unperturbed.

After all, he knew that the matters in the underworld were of great importance, relating to the reincarnation of the dead throughout the entire prehistoric world.

Styx did not act immediately at the beginning; such restraint was already more than enough.

Seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi dared not delay for a moment. He hurriedly cupped his hands in greeting and explained, "I am Zhen Yuanzi, and my master is Daoist Yinguo. I have come to this underworld to take up my post. If I have caused any disturbance, I hope you will forgive me!"

Upon hearing this, Styx's face, which had been filled with rage, softened at an astonishing speed that was visible to the naked eye.

He bowed slightly, his tone becoming much more polite: "Oh? So you are a disciple of the Old Ancestor of Karma. I am Styx, and my master is the Pingpeng Mountain God under the Dao Venerable. I greet Uncle-Master Zhen Yuanzi!"

Zhen Yuanzi's expression also changed suddenly, and he hurriedly waved his hands in a panic: "No, no, how can I be called your senior uncle?"

Seeing Zhen Yuanzi's reaction, Minghe smiled slightly and continued to explain with a hint of respect: "If we consider the relationship between Daozun and my master, Minghe should indeed call you 'Uncle-Master'!"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi was somewhat bewildered, but he quickly came to his senses.

With a flushed face, he firmly declined again, saying, "Fellow Daoist Styx, just call me Fellow Daoist. I really don't deserve to be called Uncle-Master. After all, we are not from the same sect. Fellow Daoist is enough!"

Zhen Yuanzi dared not let Styx call him "Uncle-Master," even though his master was the Daoist of Karma.

One of the few ancestors in the primordial world.

But the Styx River before them was no less formidable. Although the Pingpeng Mountain God was far inferior to their ancestor, he was backed by the Dao Venerable.

This title is far more renowned in the primordial world than that of his master.

After all, some people might not recognize the name of the Ancestor of Cause and Effect, but the name of the Dao Venerable is immediately imprinted into the Dao Venerable's memory by the Heavenly Dao. How could they not know it?!

Looking at the stubbornness on Zhen Yuanzi's face, Styx knew that Zhen Yuanzi was really unwilling. So after thinking about it, he stopped insisting and instead smiled and bowed to Zhen Yuanzi, addressing him as "fellow Daoist".

He also felt a sense of goodwill towards Zhen Yuanzi, who was quite humble and polite.

When Zhen Yuanzi heard Styx address him as "fellow Daoist," his tense nerves finally relaxed slightly.

After all, Zhen Yuanzi could sense that the Styx River before him was also like him, having only recently been born.

Both of them were Great Luo Golden Immortals, and the way he was addressed as "Uncle-Master" made him feel quite embarrassed.

Besides, they're not from the same sect, so their master probably wouldn't mind too much.

Because of their elders' connections, their feelings for each other deepened rapidly after just a few words.

Inside the Red Cloud Cave, Hongyun suddenly turned pale, and a sense of unease rose in her heart.

This feeling of excitement even surpasses that of the last time.

It felt as if something of theirs was about to be taken away.

Moreover, it was an extremely important existence.

If he hadn't been born by now, he would probably have had everything stolen from him.
