The group of people below was dumbfounded, especially the modern folks from the outside world, each holding back their laughter.

Probably only Chu Hao could say such "outlandish" things in front of these people.

Chu Hao was genuinely curious about how people lived thousands of years ago. Now, he was closer to the truth than those archaeologists.

Suddenly, on the eighty-sixth stone step, Chu Hao saw someone. The person looked lifeless, with hollow eyes. It was the young master of the Undying Sect, the Netherworld People.

Xia Yuqing frowned and said, "Wang Shuyu! You're still alive."

The young master of the Undying Sect turned his head without a trace of expression. This guy was different from others; he was crafted from a corpse, very peculiar.

"Didn't Wang Shuyu already die?" Gu Yan was equally perplexed.

In their era, Wang Shuyu was long gone. Even if this guy were a ghost, it seemed unlikely, as Wang Shuyu's death was quite tragic back then.

Suddenly, Wang Shuyu saw Qi Tian. His eyes flickered with a strange light, and an overwhelming sense of danger made everyone feel intense pressure.

Chu Hao thought of the terrifying power and speed of the Netherworld People. Even the Pure Yang Divine Bow only severely injured him. This guy was definitely more frightening than Gu Yan and Qi Tian.

Even Qi Tian, who was usually so confident, had a subtle change in his expression and said, "Wang Shuyu, something's off about your aura."

Gu Yan and Xia Yuqing were extremely vigilant. Wang Shuyu was very different now.

Then, the Netherworld People turned their gaze to Chu Hao, and the air turned slightly cold.

Shit!

Could it be that this guy has set his sights on me again?

Chu Hao chuckled dryly and said, "Hey, brother, what a coincidence, haha... seeing you again."

If this guy really makes a move, Chu Hao would surely have a headache. Last time, the Iron Bone Curse Seal boosted his combat power fivefold, and he still got beaten terribly. He didn't think that learning the Yin Yang True Solution would immediately put him on equal footing with him.

If the Netherworld People made a move, Chu Hao would just run. If he couldn't win the fight, Brother Hao absolutely wouldn't push it.

Xia Yuqing quickly said, "Wang Shuyu, don't you remember me?"

The Netherworld People looked pained and said, "I, who am I?"

The Nether Qi on him was even more terrifying. Standing around him, one felt an overwhelming fear from death.

Gu Yan's face changed, and he said, "Could it be that the Undying Sect turned him into a Corpse Ghost?"

The Undying Sect's method of crafting corpses was well-known. Usually, when the Undying Sect fought, a group of Corpse Ghosts would come out, causing most people to flee immediately.

Xia Yuqing exclaimed, "Such strong Nether Qi, he has the aura of the Underworld River Water."

Qi Tian was the first to think of it and frowned, "The Netherworld People of the Undying Sect!"

Xia Yuqing's face changed, and she said, "Did the Undying Sect turn him into Netherworld People?"

The top young strongman Qi Tian, along with Gu Yan and Xia Yuqing, immediately backed away. In their time, the Netherworld People were quite terrifying.

They didn't want to be the first to become a rival to the Netherworld People.

The Undying Sect specialized in crafting corpses, always seeking ancient corpses as their subjects. Their crafting methods were magical, capable of bringing dead corpses back to life.

But naturally, these corpses had no human emotions. The difference with the Netherworld People was that, aside from immense power, they could refine the residual soul consciousness from the corpse's past, which, although incomplete, was equivalent to giving someone a chance at resurrection—a truly terrifying prospect.

Wang Shuyu ignored them and looked forward, muttering, "Above, there are all the things I need."

The Netherworld People strode up the stone steps, the oppression here having no effect on him.

Gu Yan's handsome face showed a mix of surprise and intrigue. "Who would have thought that Wang Shuyu was turned into the Netherworld People? If I'm not mistaken, he came for the Yin Yang Soul Reincarnation Technique."

The Yin Yang Soul Reincarnation Technique is a Yin-Yang technique that can help the Netherworld People reunite their souls. The one who mastered this technique was Emperor Shun.

Qi Tian, strong and prideful, scoffed, "Whether you're a ghost or the Netherworld People now, Wang Shuyu, if you block my path, I'll kill without mercy."

Chu Hao glanced sideways at Qi Tian. This guy was also retreating earlier, only speaking tough now that the Netherworld People had left. Let's see if he dares to step up earlier.

Finally, everyone advanced toward the ninetieth stone step.

Looking up, only a few remained standing on the ninetieth stone step.

On the ninety-sixth stone step, Yan Zhongtian and a few others confronted each other. They were the strong ones of this world.

The strong ones of this era are indeed extraordinary.

Upon reaching the ninetieth stone step, Chu Hao also felt a strong sense of oppression. Any relaxation would lead to his consciousness being suppressed, causing him to faint.

Subsequently, with each step up the stairs, the oppression came wave after wave, constantly bearing down.

Suddenly, Gu Yan said, "Shang Yingdie?"

As they got closer to the top, Gu Yan spotted a woman standing below. She wore a plain white dress, her eyes beneath her lashes revealing a serene and gentle look, making her appear so quiet.

The plain dress fluttered in the wind, outlining the graceful curves of her alluring body, captivating everyone.

Upon seeing this woman, Qi Tian showed a mix of admiration and seriousness, "You are indeed still here."

Chu Hao was also taken aback by Shang Yingdie. This woman was so beautiful, it felt unreal.

Aside from Diao Chan, he had never seen such a beautiful woman.

Xia Yuqing and Lan Yingxue were also quite attractive, but compared to this woman, they lacked that ethereal and stunning quality.

Chu Hao exclaimed in surprise, "Who is she? She's so beautiful. Didn't you ancient people lack skincare products?"

Gu Yan looked at Chu Hao and said, "She is the number one beauty of our era. Countless people pursued her, and her understanding of Yin Yang Studies was called the pinnacle of the era."

Chu Hao was astonished, "A woman, the pinnacle of the era!"

Xia Yuqing glared at Chu Hao, "You look down on women."

Chu Hao said, "Of course not. I just think she's not as strong as I imagined."

Gu Yan smiled, "People of the future, the guy in front of you named Qi Tian also claimed to be the strongest of the era, but most of his skills were inherited from the Taoist Clan. Shang Yingdie had no such inheritance; she came from an ordinary family, yet her understanding of Yin Yang Studies surpassed ours."

While speaking, Gu Yan looked at Shang Yingdie with a sense of admiration.

Without a backing and still becoming one of the strongest is indeed impressive.

Xia Yuqing regarded her as an enemy and said, "Shang Yingdie, you're still here."

Chu Hao suddenly realized that this was Shang Yingdie.

Shang Yingdie turned to look toward Xia Yuqing, as well as Gu Yan and Qi Tian. Her skin was snow-white, her figure tall, exuding an ethereal and indescribable charm.

Even in a place full of beauties, one could instantly notice just how stunning she was.
