Chapter 259 Wukong Learns a Lot
While Wukong was puzzled and wanted to find Tianqi to ask him,
When I wondered if I had gone to the wrong place,
A voice suddenly rang out not far from him.
"New to mining? Lucky you! Come over here and register!"
A ghost, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, stood by the entrance to the mine and waved to Sun Wukong.
Wukong looked over upon hearing this.
The spirit had a dark plaque hanging around its neck, with the words written in gold lettering:
"Mine Area No. 108,888, Supervisor of Team No. 33,333:"
Zhao Tiezhu.
Although Sun Wukong looked slightly puzzled,
But still, almost as if possessed, I walked over and asked:
"Is this... the Avici Hell?"
"yes!"
Zhao Tiezhu deftly used his ghostly energy to open a thick booklet.
"Name? Karma level in your previous life? Did you have mining experience?"
If not, you'll have to start as an apprentice...
"Huh?! In your previous life? Karma level? Mining?"
"Wait, wait!" Sun Wukong, a little confused, quickly waved his hand and asked back.
"Isn't hell a place of torture?"
How did it become like this? Is this still hell?!
What else is mining? Is that what those ghosts do in the tunnels?!
Zhao Tiezhu raised his head and grinned.
His ghostly body was missing a front tooth, but his smile gave people a very simple and honest feeling:
"There are still people these days who don't know what our eighteenth level of hell is for!"
That's strange, so let me explain it to you properly!
Cough!
Not long after the Ancestral Witches joined forces to construct the "Chaos Transformation Array,"
The Avici Hell was transformed into a "labor reform and spiritual practice demonstration area".
See that over there?
He pointed to a huge black stone monument in the distance.
The stone tablet is engraved with large gilded characters:
Labor transforms the soul; spiritual practice reshapes the self.
Mining today is a form of spiritual practice; may you be blessed in your next life.
There was even a line of smaller print below:
Those who have no accidents for 100,000 consecutive years and whose mining output exceeds their targets can apply for early reincarnation and be reborn into a wealthy and noble human family!
Sun Wukong opened his mouth, a little uncertain in his heart, and said:
"Was that stone tablet always there?! How come I didn't see it just now?!"
However, upon further reflection, he found it quite reasonable.
After all, the underworld is powerful, so it's reasonable that it has some strange aspects!
After failing to understand, Wukong asked again, puzzled:
"And... what about the punishments for the dead?"
"Labor reform is their punishment!"
Zhao Tiezhu said matter-of-factly,
"Do you think mining here is easy? The ore here is incredibly hard!"
It contains chaotic spiritual energy; if used improperly, a sudden strike could shatter the soul of a ghost immortal.
But don't worry too much. As long as you keep digging and continuously absorb the surrounding spiritual energy to cultivate, your soul will become more and more solid, and your cultivation level will improve rapidly.
He patted Sun Wukong on the shoulder:
"This is much better than anything like tongue-pulling or being deep-fried."
Moreover, those who come here don't intend to leave!
Look over there—
Following the direction Zhao Tiezhu pointed, Sun Wukong saw a group of dead souls sitting cross-legged in the rest area, surrounded by spiritual energy, their strength clearly formidable! They were far superior to the ghost soldiers in front of them!
"Could they be setting up some kind of mining rig to fight me?!"
Seeing these wandering souls, Wukong felt a little puzzled.
"After they died, their souls were damaged, and they lost all their cultivation."
But after only three hundred years of mining here, not only has he regained his cultivation level from his previous life, but he has also improved it considerably!
Zhao Tiezhu spoke with pride.
Sun Wukong was completely dumbfounded.
This was completely different from what he had imagined.
The first seventeen levels of hell are all battles of life and death, invasions of evil thoughts, and bloody terror.
Moreover, each level has a powerful demon as the final boss, who must be defeated before proceeding to the next level.
He fought his way through, successfully comprehending seventy-two supernatural powers and creating thirty-six different techniques.
His cultivation level soared from the early stage of Golden Immortal to the Taiyi Golden Immortal stage, and then to the middle stage of Daluo Golden Immortal.
But now...
"Um... I'm going to cultivate here?"
Sun Wukong asked hesitantly,
"What exactly will you be repairing? Will you be mining too?"
"Cultivation?"
Hearing this, Zhao Tiezhu was taken aback, and then he looked him up and down seriously.
"Huh?! You're alive?"
No...it has a physical body, but it's not a ghost or immortal...
Who sent you here for training?
"I guess so," Sun Wukong said, scratching his head.
"My master sent me to hell to cultivate."
"Huh?! Who's your master?! Why didn't anyone tell me?!"
Zhao Tiezhu was still a little confused when he asked, after all, there had never been such a precedent here before!
Before Wukong could answer,
The belated Apocalypse appeared directly in front of the two.
He opened his mouth and said:
"You don't need to ask any more questions, just send him to the deep mining area to mine and cultivate!"
The rest you can ask your supervisor!
When Zhao Tiezhu saw who it was, he immediately became excited and said with great enthusiasm:
"Heaven...Heaven...Lord Apocalypse, is that you?"
Ahhh! It really is you!
"Could you sign my name tag?!"
His eyes were filled with adoration, just like a star-struck fangirl in later generations!
Seeing Zhao Tiezhu's appearance, Tianqi felt secretly pleased.
But in order not to interfere with Wukong's cultivation, his figure vanished instantly in front of the two.
However, in order not to disappoint the little imp, Tianqi still waved his hand in a very classy manner before leaving and engraved his name on Zhao Tiezhu's nameplate!
Seeing Tianqi disappear, Wukong, who hadn't even had a chance to ask himself a question, could only throw the question at Zhao Tiezhu.
"Hey Zhao Tiezhu, the foreman, maybe you should stop playing with your designer brands for now."
Explain to me what "deep mining area" means!
Upon hearing this, Zhao Tiezhu reluctantly withdrew his hand from his chest and said:
"Oh, so you've come here to cultivate and improve quickly."
As for the "deep mining area" that Lord Apocalypse mentioned, it is indeed very suitable for you!
The ore there is of the highest quality, but it's also the most difficult to mine, requiring the strength of a Great Luo Realm cultivator to enter. It's also the best place to hone one's cultivation.
"I can see your aura is quite strong; you are indeed qualified."
"Who came up with this? Cultivating by mining ore?! Is this even possible?!"
Sun Wukong couldn't help but ask.
"Of course it's Lord Tianqi of our Underworld, who is second only to Lady Pingxin!"
He said that hell cannot rely solely on terror and intimidation; it must give the souls of the dead hope and the motivation to reform.
The system of "labor reform + spiritual advancement + points-based reincarnation" currently implemented in our Avici Hell is...
It was designed by Apocalypse himself.
Now, the souls in the eighteen levels of hell are all vying to do the work.
I'm afraid I won't have enough points to be born into a good family in my next life.
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong thought of the always smiling Tianqi.
Suddenly I realized... this person is truly extraordinary.
No wonder he is someone whom even his teacher, the Sage of Heaven, greatly admires!
