Urban Invincible Overlord

Chapter 1480 - 1477: Myriad Life Coffin

The Shen Family ancestral hall is located at the northernmost corner of the Shen Family’s expansive estate.

Yang Fei followed Shen Wanjing along the way, encountering many people. Most of them were low-level cultivators, predominantly Qi Refining Cultivators.

"Are these all Shen Family members?" Yang Fei inquired.

He overheard people calling Shen Wanjing either Ancestor or Family Head.

Shen Wanjing nodded and said, "Yes, this is the Shen Family residence. Most of the residents are direct lineage of the Shen Family, but there are also many who serve the family such as offerings, house servants, and slaves."

Yang Fei looked at Shen Wanjing and said, "So, my friends will also become house slaves of the Shen Family in the future?"

Shen Wanjing laughed heartily, "Why, do you feel that becoming a Shen Family house slave is not respectable enough? Do you know how many low-level cultivators in this Southern Domain World aspire to become Shen Family house slaves but cannot achieve it?"

Yang Fei opened his mouth, suddenly feeling a bit dazed.

This is the Cultivation World, no longer the previous technological era of Earth.

Moreover, even in the previous technological era of Earth’s secular world, those super families also had various subordinate talents working for them.

It’s just that back then, the titles were a bit more polite.

But the essence was the same.

"Rest assured, your friends and relatives, I will give them absolute freedom, allowing them to do things they are skilled at or enjoy, as employees of the Shen Family." Shen Wanjing said to Yang Fei.

Yang Fei hurriedly said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Shen, actually it’s no matter, everyone has their own path to walk. They chose to leave the Shang Qing Sect to work for the Shen Family, so they must adapt to their new identity according to the rules of the Shen Family."

Shen Wanjing nodded satisfactorily.

During their conversation, the two arrived at the entrance of the Shen Family ancestral hall.

Although the hall’s location is remote, it is built grandly. However, what puzzled Yang Fei was that there was no guard outside the gate.

Yet the moment he stepped into the ancestral hall gate with Shen Wanjing, he trembled all over, feeling a chill.

He felt a fierce gaze locking onto him.

The gaze was icy and piercing, making him feel cold all over, not daring to move.

"Seventh Uncle, this young friend is my friend." Shen Wanjing slightly bowed, as if paying respect to a certain direction within the hall, and explained.

The icy fear disappeared without a trace, but Yang Fei still felt the gaze lingering on him.

"Why bring an outsider to the ancestral hall?" A strong, powerful voice rang out.

The voice wasn’t loud, but when it reached Yang Fei’s ears, it made his eardrums ache, feeling as if the voice could explode his head at any moment like a soundwave.

So strong!

For a moment, Yang Fei couldn’t determine the realm and cultivation of the other party.

Supposedly he had seen strong figures like Shen Wanjing and Zhantai Chunqiu, and had faced innumerable Divinity Transformation Realm Masters; he shouldn’t be so overwhelmed at this point.

Could it be that those strong individuals he previously encountered never showed their true strength, leading him to mistakenly believe that those so-called strong figures were nothing exceptional?

"Seventh Uncle, this young friend Yang Fei and I clicked instantly. He is my benefactor and will become one of the best friends and partners of the Shen Family, hardly considered an outsider." Shen Wanjing said.

Yang Fei felt that after Shen Wanjing finished his words, the hidden gaze became even fiercer, scanning over him repeatedly.

A moment later, the voice spoke again: "Though you are the family head, the ancestors’ rules cannot be nullified. You shouldn’t have brought an outsider here."

Yang Fei listened and couldn’t help but say to Shen Wanjing, "Senior Brother Shen, should I step out while you talk?"

Shen Wanjing shook his head and then remained silent.

And the one Shen Wanjing referred to as Seventh Uncle also did not continue speaking.

Yang Fei quickly noticed that Shen Wanjing was standing still, likely communicating with the other party using Divine Sense, so he patiently waited.

Sure enough, not long after, Shen Wanjing said to him, "Follow me."

Countless spiritual tablets of the Shen Family ancestors were lined up on the altar in the ancestral hall, with special incense burning continuously.

"Brother Shen, do cultivators also believe that after death, souls can enter another dimensional world or reincarnate, otherwise why offer spiritual tablets for the ancestors?" Yang Fei couldn’t help but inquire.

Shen Wanjing smiled faintly: "More of an acknowledgment of the family bloodline heritage, enabling us, as a lineal family, to know who our ancestors are, and what contributions past ancestors have made for the family. Naturally, one can’t deny the belief in hearts that after death, one could still live in another form in another world."

Yang Fei thought about the immortal system on Earth, his heart stirred, and said: "Senior Brother Shen, since after becoming immortal one ascends to the Immortal Realm, then does this world have any so-called Three Realms and Six Paths of Reincarnation?"

Shen Wanjing shook his head: "I don’t know either."

Yang Fei was stunned.

Shen Wanjing glanced at him and laughed, "In the Southern Domain Cultivation World, no, including the Cultivation Worlds in other realms, according to accurate records, there has been no appearance of immortals for at least 150,000 years. Where did immortals go after becoming immortal is unknown. As for whether there exists Underworld Hell apart from the Immortal Realm, or Six Paths of Reincarnation, no one can provide a clear answer now."

In the end, he smiled and asked, "These things are too distant for you, why ask about them?"

Yang Fei thought about Second Uncle and recently deceased Umekawa Taro, but ultimately shook his head and said, "Nothing."

Even since Shen Wanjing doesn’t know, what else could he wish for?

"Yang Fei, remember, while alive, you should live this life well. Don’t desire for the next life. In this life, protecting those you care about is most important." Shen Wanjing suddenly said.

Yang Fei looked at him, recalling his sacrifice of cultivation roots to revive his daughter, and couldn’t help but admire him.

"I will keep Senior Brother Shen’s words in mind." Yang Fei replied.

Shen Wanjing nodded and said nothing more.

Soon, the two arrived at an entrance to an underground passage.

Yang Fei scanned the area, spotting the passage extending endlessly into the depths, a chill emanating forth.

Despite his middle stage Core Formation cultivation, merely gazing at the entrance evoked slight fear.

Shen Wanjing descended steadily, and Yang Fei, without hesitation, carrying Li Xuanyu, followed.

Descending the stone steps, luminous pearls were installed at intervals on both sides of the passage, though dimmer than outside, it was bright for cultivators.

After walking about thirty meters, they reached the end of the passage, a crystal-clear stone door blocking the way.

Shen Wanjing touched it, and the stone door split down the middle, dividing into two and sliding open.

A surge of vitality greeted them.

When Yang Fei looked, he saw a twenty square meter secret room behind the stone door, with a dark red coffin placed in the center.
