But as the earliest person around Gu Qingfeng, his position in the Gu Family is unshakeable.

Even Gu Yang, the first-generation direct lineage of the Gu Family, holds great respect for Gu Peng.

Therefore.

Gu Peng is certainly qualified to go to Life Ancient City for slumber.

Looking at the person in front of him, Gu Qingfeng calmly said: "With your current talent, breaking through to Heavenly Venerate Realm is very difficult, possibly spending a lifetime without the chance to leave Life Ancient City.

But now, I give you a chance to leave Life Ancient City, are you willing?"

"I will follow the Emperor's orders!"

Gu Peng replied respectfully.

For him, whether or not he could leave Life Ancient City was unimportant, the crucial thing was that he could serve him, and that was enough.

In terms of loyalty.

Gu Peng is unquestionably loyal.

Seeing this.

Gu Qingfeng nodded in satisfaction, then with a flick of his finger, Gu Peng's body turned to ashes, leaving only a Divine Soul.

This sudden change caused Gu Peng's face to freeze momentarily, but he soon recovered.

He did not speak, stood silently waiting for Gu Qingfeng's next command.

Seeing this.

Gu Qingfeng then moved his Divine Thought, and directly absorbed Gu Peng into the Underworld.

The scene shifted.

When they reappeared, both were already in the Underworld.

Seeing the scene before them, Gu Peng's previously calm face changed suddenly, eyes revealing a look of shock.

"Emperor, what is this place?"

"This is the Underworld!"

Gu Qingfeng's words caused Gu Peng's face to change again.

The Underworld!

This name was both unfamiliar yet familiar to him.

Gu Peng looked at the scene, full of shock: "There really is an Underworld in the world, I always thought it was merely a story fabrication!"

No wonder he thought this way, since stepping into cultivation, he had never seen the so-called Underworld appear.

Cultivators fall, and their Divine Souls perish.

Thus.

The existence of the Underworld.

Gu Peng never took it seriously.

But now, Gu Qingfeng told him this was the Underworld, it's no surprise Gu Peng felt shocked.

However——

That was all.

Gu Qingfeng said: "The Underworld has just been newly established, many positions are vacant, now you can be the King Qinguang of the Underworld, responsible for all matters of the Underworld."

As the words fell.

Gu Qingfeng directly presented the Lord Seal, instantly causing the Underworld to tremble. A profound Dao Rhythm power descended, directly infused into Gu Peng's body.

In an instant.

Gu Peng felt an extremely powerful force rising, his previously vanquished body now seemed to be reconstituted under the force of the Underworld, while his Divine Soul also began to transform.

Time seemed to pass long, but in fact, it was only a moment.

Once Gu Peng realized it, he felt a difference in himself.

The cultivation was still the same!

But——

An unprecedented powerful vitality, made Gu Peng feel a long-lost sensation.

In the past, as life descended, with declining qi and blood, there always was a possibility of perishing at any moment, but now this feeling was entirely gone.

Gu Qingfeng said: "You are King Qinguang, nourishing from the power of the Underworld, although you haven't broken through to the Heavenly Venerate Realm, it is sufficient to question longevity.

Moreover, with the Qin Guang Seal, you can mobilize the power of the Underworld, as long you stay within the Underworld, below Four Tribulation Heavenly Venerate, there's no one who can be your match.

Additionally, you can cultivate on your own, one day there will be an opportunity to question the Heavenly Venerate!"

This is the other function of the Underworld.

Conferring positions.

Allowing cultivators without longevity, to enjoy the benefits of longevity.

After all.

For other cultivators, to grant others longevity, the difficulty is not small.

But for the Underworld, bestowing longevity is not a major problem.

Even though doing this will consume some of the Underworld's power, that's all.

However.

The positioning of the Ten Halls Yama is not ordinary, Gu Qingfeng also couldn't casually bestow it.

Since such positions once claimed, any subsequent changes would cause unrest in the Underworld.

Until now.

Among the Ten Halls Yama, Gu Qingfeng has so far chosen only Gu Peng.

As for other successors of the Gu Family, to be honest, those truly qualified to serve as the Ten Halls Yama, are not many.

Moreover——

For Gu Qingfeng.

Strength talent is not important, loyalty is what matters.

Since strength can be improved later, but loyalty is not so easily changed.

"Thank the Emperor for the conferment!"

On the other side, Gu Peng was gradually regaining clarity, feeling the transformation in himself, recognizing the duties of the Ten Halls Yama, and soon suppressed the excitement in his heart, respectfully bowing.

Becoming one of the Ten Halls Yama.

For him it was akin to soaring to the heavens.

Such a blessing, how could Gu Peng not be moved.

He understood clearly.

In such respected positions, Gu Qingfeng could easily choose someone else, since in terms of strength and talent, he himself was rather ordinary.

Now in the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty, there is no shortage of strong ones, and the Gu Family has abundant bloodlines, yet Gu Qingfeng made him King Qinguang, how could he not understand the grace within?

Precisely understanding this, Gu Peng became even more loyal to Gu Qingfeng.

"Remember, from now on, the management is handed over to you, all matters must be handled earnestly, additionally I bestow upon you the power to appoint Ghost Soldiers and Ghost Generals.

However such appointments relate to the source of the Underworld, and must not be done recklessly."

"I understand!"

Gu Peng nodded.

Next.

Gu Qingfeng gave further instructions, sending him to the Qin Guang King Hall to start handling Underworld affairs.

If in the old storybooks' Underworld, above the Ten Halls Yama there was the presence of the Five Ghost Emperors.

But——

Storybooks are storybooks, reality is reality.

From what the Lord of Mount Tai said, and the messages left within the Qin Guang Seal, Gu Qingfeng learned the Lord of Mount Tai is the supreme being of the Underworld, and then there comes the Ten Halls Yama.

As for the so-called Five Ghost Emperors, there is no such existence.

Of course.

Gu Qingfeng as the Lord of the Underworld, could above the Ten Halls Yama, below the Lord of Mount Tai, additionally add the position of the Five Ghost Emperors.

However, such practice is unnecessary.

At least.

Now it is not very meaningful.

Since the higher the position established in the Underworld, the greater the power wielded, the more the consumption of the source.

Like any of the Ten Halls Yama, they require a lot of source.

But as this Underworld has merged with the Qin Guang Seal, containing the source of the Old Underworld, Gu Qingfeng could confer Gu Peng without causing any upheaval.

Otherwise, bringing forth any other Ten Halls Yama would surely reduce the Underworld source significantly.

This is why Gu Qingfeng so far has only appointed Gu Peng.

Not just the person choice issue, but it also involves the issue of the source.

Below the Ten Halls Yama.

Are the four major judges!

The Twelve Yin Marshals!

Then there are the so-called Oxhead and Horseface, and Black and White Impermanence, etc.

Below these, are the so-called ordinary Ghost Generals and Ghost Soldiers.

Now Gu Qingfeng only gave Gu Peng the authority to appoint Ghost Generals and Ghost Soldiers, considering the Underworld source cannot be indiscriminately used, even positions like Oxhead and Horseface require considerable source.

The Underworld established not long ago, naturally requires precise calculations.

In contrast.

Ordinary Ghost Soldiers and Ghost Generals pose no problems.

These Ghost Soldiers and Ghost Generals do not qualify for eternal life, although given the chance to live again by the Underworld, when time is up they must eventually enter the cycle again.

But if at a higher level like Oxhead and Horseface, they can achieve eternal life within the Underworld, so naturally there is a difference.

"With Gu Peng becoming King Qinguang, in charge of managing Underworld affairs, I no longer need to focus excessive attention on the Underworld.

Thus, I can have peace of mind to comprehend the Netherworld Path, and enhance my strength!"

Gu Qingfeng mused.

Confer a position among the Ten Halls Yama, he also wanted to find someone who could manage Underworld affairs.

Otherwise.

Now the Underworld with three thousand Ghost Soldiers and countless True Spirits, if everything needs his personal attention, Gu Qingfeng would not have enough time to deal with these trivialities.

But now it's different.

With Gu Peng handling matters, many trivialities are no longer a bother, which is exactly what Gu Qingfeng wanted.
