“Such a great plan, such a powerful strategy!”

Meng Po sighed. Even at her level, she was very astounded.

She knew far better than others. She had a greater vision.

In eldritch eras, why would Saints create religions? Why would she sacrifice mortality to work for reincarnation? What was it all for except to gain Deluxe Merit?

If the Underworld set up the City Castle. The terrifying impression of the Underworld would be changed.

People were used to be afraid of the Underworld. They were scared of the Onis.

Once the City Castile was built, they would be able to be more in touch with the ordinary people. Ordinary people would like them better. They could gain Deluxe Merit at the same time!

‘Scary!’

‘Terrifying!’

‘Multiple benefits that could change the whole scenario!’

Too bad the Underworld had ended up badly. If they knew about the plan earlier, they would not be so helpless after the big tribulation.

‘Take it slow. Since the expert provided us the plan, we shall take it slow. Careful planning. We will rise sooner or later!”

Meng Po sighed, “The expert is unbelievably nice to the Underworld! We can’t repay for our gratitude.”

She was a reincarnation of a Saint. If she said that, it meant that the plan was truly impressive.

“Popo, Popo!”

Suddenly, Black Impermanence ran over. His voice was anxious and shaking.

“So nervous, where are your manners?!”

Meng Po frowned, “Aren’t you with the expert? Why did you run here? It is rude to leave the expert alone!”

Black Impermanence passed the brochure over, “The expert wants me to give this back.”

“The expert is not satisfied with the mastery?” Meng Po was surprised. She slightly panicked because it meant that the Underworld was not good enough.

“No, the expert already finished learning it.”

“Fin... Finished? Are you sure?” Meng Po was dumbfounded.

That was the mastery of her Father. It was not a lousy mastery that omitted most of the techniques. It was a legit mastery. Even her ancestors had not perfect all of it. How did the expert finish it in the blink of an eye?

Mastery was all about improving and learning with each stage or level. ‘Not even Saints can learn it all in one go. What do you think this is?’

Meng Po would have thought Black Impermanence was pranking her but she knew him well.

“Popo, the expert really finished it. He also cultivated the Deluxe Merit Flesh!”

Black Impermanence looked horrified. He took a deep breath and gulped. Then, he said with extreme respect, “The expert said, said... said he did not want to be an ordinary man anymore. He wants to fly and be able to protect himself. That’s why he cultivates. Then, he, he... he just, fully learned the cultivation and became a Deluxe Merit Saint.”

‘Deluxe Merit Saint?’

‘For a bit of self-defense?’

Meng Po thought something was wrong with her ears.

‘Just because he wanted to fly and not be harmed, he chose to become a Deluxe Merit Saint? That... is so heart-aching!’

She would not dare to dream of something like that!

‘Moreover, Father’s mastery can cultivate Deluxe Merit Flesh? Why didn’t I know about that?”

Meng Po asked in a monotone voice, “How much Deluxe Merit do you need to become a Deluxe Merit Saint?”

“I don’t know. But apparently, a lot. The expert could not hold it in either. It was overflowing like an ocean, circling him, and it is wavy too,” said the Black Impermanence while using outrageous gestures.

“Tap.”

Meng Po stumbled.

She tilted her head to wipe the tears off the corner of her eye.

She cried from heartache.

Back in her days, Saints used and manipulated each other to fight for a bit of Deluxe Merit.

She sacrificed her mortality for Deluxe Merit and gained only a tiny amount. She thought it was precious too.

However, the expert was overflowing with Deluxe Merit just because he wanted to have some self-defense. The difference was unimaginable.

‘He was bored with being an ordinary man so he switched it up to become the Deluxe Merit Saint. Alright, it seems like the bigshot can do whatever he wants.’

Meng Po took a deep breath and said with respect, “The state of the expert is unimaginably powerful! Saints could not stop him. I think he is unstoppable. No wonder he can simply come up with the City Castle plan.”

There were two types of Merit in the realm. One was the Deluxe Merit. You would gain Deluxe Merit when you did something incredible that affected the fate of the realm. For example, when Goddess Nuwa mended the sky.

Another type was the Faith Merit. The Faith Merit was earned from sincere worship by the public. Faith Merit was not as powerful as Deluxe Merit, but it was still precious.

Of course, the two types of Merit did not apply to the expert. He simply took the Deluxe Merit like it was a toy.

Black and White Impermanence were slightly disorientated. They wanted to cry. They said in a trembling voice, “Popo, the expert is too scary!”

“Careful with your words!”

Meng Po glared at them and yelled, “It’s not scary. It’s respectable, respectable. Respectable like looking up to a mountain. You can look but you can never reach it.”

Black and White Impermanence quickly nodded, “Yes, Popo. You are right. We are wrong.”

“Meeting the expert is the biggest breakthrough of your lives. You must remember to watch your words and actions!”

Meng Po warned them. Then, she sighed softly and said, “If I can leave the Underworld, I would go visit him for sure.”

“Don’t worry, Popo. We got this.”

“Alright, go. Don’t let the expert wait. Oh, yeah, regarding the Death Note, it’s related to the uprising of the Underworld. Don’t mess it up.”

Black and White Impermanence nodded with seriousness. Then, they said, “Popo, we will be going now.”

“Go.”

...

At the Immortal Realm.

Li Nianfan was having a ride in his gold race car, it was a blast.

Then, he parked his car in mid-air. He took out ‘Bootlicker’s Guide to the Immortal Realm’ and analyzed it in his race car.

He had come so far as an ordinary man. Things were about to change. He needed to re-evaluate his strategy.

He had the Deluxe Merit Flesh. It heightened his status and he was much safer. As long as he did not run into a maniac, he would probably be fine. However, to be safe, he should befriend as many bigshots as he could.

Living was not an issue. He should be thinking about his afterlife.

Firstly, he was unsure whether he could improve as a Deluxe Merit Saint. Secondly, if he ran into a maniac, he would die too.

Once he was dead, only the Underworld could help him out. Therefore, he had to bond with the Underworld for death conveniences.

He roughly came up with a few plans and added the new bigshots to his ‘List of Bigshots’.

All was well. Li Nianfan returned to Sapphire City.

Black and White Impermanence immediately welcome Li Nianfan when they saw that he had returned. They greeted in a friendly manner, “Mr. Li.”

“Sires, are you guys about leave?” Li Nianfan glanced at the Onis that were busily packing.

“Yeah, Mr. Li.”

White Impermanence nodded and said, “The Underworld was reborn. A lot of related treasures resurfaced too. There is a crucial treasure that we need to fight for.”

Li Nianfan recalled the information he heard on the way. He asked curiously, “Is it a book?”

“Exactly!” The Black and White Impermanence nodded, “This book is what made the Underworld. It is the book of life and death, the Death Note!”

“Death Note?”

Li Nianfan was stunned. He was more than familiar with the Death Note. It was famous.

“The book that records death? I heard you can control deaths with that book.”

White Impermanence explained, “Mr. Li, the Death Note is mainly for mortals. Once you are a cultivator, you will be less bonded to the Death Note. Higher cultivation means a lower bond with the Death Note.”

“I see.”

Li Nianfan nodded. Even so, it was very cool.

That was the legendary Death Note. Since he was already there, it would be a waste to not look at it. Plus, he could bond well with the Underworld along the way.

Li Nianfan was interested. He asked, “Sires, I am too curious about the Death Note. May I please come along with you?”

“Of course. If you want to, Mr. Li.” Black and White Impermanence were overjoyed. It would be their honor to travel with the expert. They might get to know each other better too.

“But...”

White Impermanence groaned for a moment. He said, “Mr. Li, it’s not just us that had eyes on the Death Note. The Underworld is still going through a battle, there might be a war when we get there.”

“War?” Li Nianfan arched his eyebrow. He asked, “If I just watch at the side, will it be dangerous?”

Black and White Impermanence shook their heads at the same time.

White Impermanence forced a smile and said, “Mr. Li, if you are there, you won’t be harmed, everyone will protect you.”

‘But of course. We have a Deluxe Merit bigshot next to us, we have to be careful. If the bigshot was injured, both sides of the war will pay the price.’

Metaphorically speaking, it was as if two people were fighting and a rich old man was watching at the side. One of them accidentally hurt the rich old man. The rich old man laid on the ground, about to sue them...

What an interesting scenario.

Li Nianfan lit up, “Really? So wonderful? Alright then.”

To be honest, as long as he was not in danger, he loved to join the crowd.

Then, he looked at Blackie and thought to himself, “If that’s the case, Blackie seems to be a burden. It can’t even be cannon ash.’

‘Why keep Blackie here?’

“Blackie, go back,” said Li Nianfan. He hesitated, “But going back alone must be unsafe, I will be worried.”

Black Impermanence instantly understood the hint. He smiled and said, “No worries, Mr. Li. I can order two Onis to escort Blackie back.”

“Is it too troubling?”

Black Impermanence quickly replied, “No, not at all. It’s not a big deal.”

“Thanks for the trouble then.”

Li Nianfan immediately placed a small parcel on Blackie. He nagged, “Blackie, the road ahead is dangerous. I didn’t bring you along for your own good. There are a lot of fruits in the parcel. Go. Remember.”

“Bark.” Blackie rubbed its head on Li Nianfan as a goodbye.

Everyone rode on clouds to a place called the Cool Breeze Gorge.

Li Nianfan did not need help this time. He rode on his cloud, carrying Dragin and Nanan as passengers. He suddenly felt proudly independent.

Especially when he heard Nanan and Dragin sincerely said, “Brother, you are so awesome.” Li Nianfan was secretly pleased.

Clouds were the signs of a successful man in the Immortal Realm.

Li Nianfan followed the Black and White Impermanence. He gradually realized an issue.

His Deluxe Merit Cloud was too flashy and shiny. The clouds that the Black and White Impermanence rode on were dull in comparison.

As if a luxurious car was alongside two second-hand cars. The difference was huge.

Quality was accentuated with comparison.

Black and White Impermanence realized that too. They looked slightly uncomfortable. They felt like they were too cheap. It bruised their egos. They felt like they did not deserve to fly with the expert.

Li Nianfan felt bad. He suggested, “Sires, how about we cloudpool? My cloud is bigger anyway.”

His cloud grew larger as he spoke. It became a huge golden round disk that levitated in the sky. It was blindingly golden.

Although they were mentally prepared for it, Black and White Impermanence still felt like it was hard to accept. They hesitated at his generosity, “This...”

Li Nianfan smiled and said, “Come on, don’t be a stranger. Come on up, it’s nice to sit together.”

Black and White Impermanence did not dare to reject his offer. They carefully step onto the Deluxe Merit Cloud.

Even their organs were trembling when they stepped on the Deluxe Merit Cloud. They tried their best to compose themselves and control their footsteps. ‘Light, be soft and light. Don’t hurt the cloud.’

That was probably the most glorious moment of their lifetimes. That was the closest they had been to Deluxe Merit.

Li Nianfan waved.

Suddenly, five golden lotuses appeared on the cloud. They were temporary chairs. At the center of the chairs was a round table.

“Sit, everyone. It’s quite far from our destination. It will be a boring ride, how about we drink for fun?” Li Nianfan laughed. He took out the wine gourd, “I made this wine myself. You have to try it.”

The wine gourd had a purplish golden sheen on it. It looked eye-catching. Black and White Impermanence were stunned on sight.

‘Purple, purple... Purple Golden Gourd?!”

They twitched. They repressed their shock with all their might.

He used the Deluxe Merit Cloud as chairs and he used the Ultimate Heavenly Spiritual Treasure as a wine bottle. The wine must be extraordinary too.

‘Of course. Only these things match up with the expert. As long as we follow the expert, our expectations can always be improved.

They would probably be too smug to recognize their family members if they followed the expert.

White Impermanence suggested, “You are right, Mr. Li. The journey will be boring. We should call on a few female ghost dancers to perform for us while we drink.”

Li Nianfan nodded, “Nice idea!”

Black and White Impermanence immediately moved. They handpicked the best female ghost dancers. Their expectations and requirements were high and strict. It had to be perfect.

At the same time, they chose two beautiful servants to accompany Li Nianfan. They would pour and serve him.

The two female ghosts did not dare to relax. They served carefully. They knew that it was an honor to work for the Black and White Impermanence and be able to step on a golden cloud. It was an honor to touch the Purple Golden Gourd. Even bigshots in the Above Immortal Realm did not deserve that.

Alcohol aroma filled the air once the Purple Golden Gourd was opened.

The two servants had no right to taste it. However, the aroma gave them a breakthrough in their souls.

They were instantly energetic. They worked harder to serve them well.

It was an opportunity of their lifetimes to be able to serve a magnificent character like that and be so close to him.
