Chapter 583: Chapter 290: The Celestial Court’s Intentions

Chu Xuan thought for a moment and then asked King Qinguang to help him look up the names of the woodcutter’s parents.

This time, there finally was some information. According to the Book of Life and Death, the lifespans of these two people were thirty-one and twenty-nine, respectively, and they had no children.

"No children..." Chu Xuan murmured these four words, feeling somewhat heavy-hearted.

In other words, his birth in this world was entirely accidental, not within the celestial numbers of this realm, and thus unrecorded in the Book of Life and Death.

King Qinguang secretly became more convinced that Chu Xuan must have significant origins, which was why such an "unattached to cause and effect" scenario appeared.

Wait, Chu Xuan suddenly directed his gaze towards the Six Souls Banner in his hand.

Assuming his name as a transmigrator truly wasn’t in the local Book of Life and Death, could it be in the Six Souls Banner?

The "name" here didn’t mean the words "Chu Xuan" were explicitly written in the Six Souls Banner, rather that his fate was tied to this banner and not managed by the Underworld.

As for why the Six Souls Banner brought Chu Xuan to line up on the Yellow Springs Road, it might be based on its master’s subconscious thought that after death, one should line up in the Underworld for reincarnation, so it did.

With this thought, Chu Xuan pressed the Six Souls Banner to his forehead, trying to use his Divine Sense to explore it carefully.

Originally, his soul had been cultivated to the realm of the primordial spirit, so even without a physical body, he shouldn’t be so weak. It was really that the battle before his death was too fierce. Chu Xuan even suspected that without the Six Souls Banner, he might not have been able to preserve his complete soul.

However, after such a deep search, Chu Xuan actually found something interesting. Perhaps it was due to being in the underworld, but he had never discovered before that the Six Souls Banner contained this?

The "this" referred to a series of pale names.

The strangest thing was that Chu Xuan’s name wasn’t among them; they were all deceased acquaintances, like: Xiaoyun, Shi Mei, Chen Mengdie, Qilian, Xiaohua...

The common point was that they all had died, and they were all women with whom Chu Xuan had romantic entanglements.

He had some speculation in his heart and couldn’t help but nervously try to contact one of the names, then Chu Xuan suddenly discovered that he seemed to have connected to the Netherworld Law, able to trace the origin and destination of this name.

In other words, if he tracked these "records" within the Six Souls Banner, Chu Xuan might be able to find their reincarnated bodies.

For a moment, his emotions were complicated, unsure if he should disturb their lives or just leave a thought behind.

What about Li Qiu Yue from Wuyou Valley? She was someone he had never truly loved in his early years, so was her name not recorded here?

No, wait, Chu Xuan dug deeper and indeed found her name, even some names he barely remembered.

Was it not only the women with whom he had romantic entanglements but also those who had feelings for him?

Wait! Chu Xuan’s expression changed. Why was Shangguan Yu’s name included as well?!

No, no, not just him, but also other enemies. It seemed it’s not only those I loved or loved me but also those I hated or hated me.

Oh my, is this for convenience in seeking revenge? Even when people are dead, not letting go, chasing them down to their next life – I’m not that vengeful, am I?

Chu Xuan internally ridiculed this, and after flipping through several times, confirmed his own name wasn’t there.

This was a small book, recording the names of loved ones and enemies, convenient for him to make up for regrets or deliver deadly blows.

Chu Xuan retracted his consciousness and put down the Six Souls Banner. In front of him, King Qinguang was still waiting patiently.

Seeing this, Chu Xuan couldn’t help but laugh, "Since the Underworld thinks I’m someone from above, then what do you think my background is, Lord? Or, who do you think is backing me?"

King Qinguang cautiously probed, "Goddess Houtu?"

Chu Xuan couldn’t help but laugh, even Goddess Houtu was mentioned. He shook his head, neither affirming nor denying, merely saying,

"I’d like to ask, how does the Underworld plan to handle me next? Follow normal procedures?"

"You’re joking, Immortal. You may go freely; since your name isn’t in the Book of Life and Death, it’s only right for us not to interfere with your posthumous affairs."

"Of course, it would be best to keep a low profile," King Qinguang subtly hinted.

After all, although the Underworld had legitimate reasons, it wouldn’t sound good if word got out, easily leading to suspicions of misconduct.

Although he expected this, receiving King Qinguang’s promise still filled Chu Xuan with joy.

If the Underworld doesn’t control me, doesn’t that mean I can return to life at any time?

Then he felt a bit downhearted. Now that he had no physical body, even if he returned to the mortal world, he’d probably just be a wandering ghost.

So, Chu Xuan explained the situation, "Any solutions from the Underworld on this?"

King Qinguang shook his head, "Matters of the mortal world are beyond our authority. We can’t help, please forgive us, Immortal."

"If you wish to stay in the underworld, you could consider taking the path of a Ghost Cultivator."

King Qinguang didn’t dare suggest Chu Xuan just join the Underworld, after all, no one wanted an additional superior.

Instead, Chu Xuan proactively asked, "Is taking the path of a deity possible?"

King Qinguang was a little sweaty. Just based on the banner in the other’s hand, with such high Netherworld authority, how could it not be possible? It’s very possible.

He hesitated, "Well, it’s not impossible, just..."

Chu Xuan smiled and shook his head, "Alright, I won’t trouble you. I’m leaving now."
