Lin Tian saw clearly, wrapped in the purple light was the Heavenly Master Magic Artifact, the White Tiger Seal. The White Tiger Seal flew above Zhang Lingyu's head, spinning swiftly. Though Zhang Lingyu placed her hand on the Three-Life Stone, the stone showed no reaction.

"How could this be?" Xiao Manxuan asked Zhang Lingyu in confusion, considering the Heavenly Master Magic Artifact was her signature weapon.

Zhang Lingyu shook her head slightly and said, "I don't know. Perhaps the White Tiger Seal is protecting me, not allowing anything to pry into my secrets."

"You can't control it?" Xiao Manxuan asked again.

"I find it difficult to use as it is, let alone control it." Zhang Lingyu shook her head, helplessly withdrawing her hand. Strangely enough, as soon as her hand left the Three-Life Stone, the White Tiger Seal automatically disappeared.

"Too bad, Sister Yu can't see it now." Xiao Manxuan remarked.

Zhang Lingyu said nonchalantly, "I actually don't want to look. Besides, I don't trust what the Three-Life Stone shows, just like the Book of Life and Death. It registers someone's lifespan as a hundred years, yet this person might die unexpectedly at sixty. Unknown variables can't be clearly seen by a stone."

Meng Po rarely showed a hint of a smile and said, "The little girl is indeed sensible."

"Is that so? Then I won't look either." Xiao Manxuan blinked, changing her mind, her thoughts unclear.

"I won't look at marriage ties, nor at reincarnation. I only want to see who my parents are." Lin Tian still walked up and placed his hand on the Three-Life Stone.

Lin Tian had previously researched his lineage but found nothing. Over time, he had come to terms with it, but the Yun Family's recognition stirred up his concerns again.

Zhang Lingyu and Xiao Manxuan both knew Lin Tian's story and hoped he could find his birth parents. Meeting Meng Po was truly a great opportunity.

But when Lin Tian's hand pressed the Three-Life Stone, the stone showed no reaction, reflecting only his image on the smooth surface.

"Meng Po, aren't you just using a mirror to fool me?" Lin Tian frowned, the Three-Life Stone renowned in legends seemed like a worthless product meant to deceive.

Meng Po waved her hand, white light flashed, and the Three-Life Stone disappeared, leaving Lin Tian with no second chance.

"Whether you can see it or not is all destined. You should leave; the Netherworld is not a place for you to linger." Meng Po said blandly.

"Alright, I didn't have much hope anyway." Lin Tian replied casually and turned to leave.

Once far away, Meng Po then looked up at Lin Tian's departing figure, her eyes sparkling, her thoughts unknown.

"Lin Tian, Sister Yu's Heavenly Master Magic Artifact reacted, so the Three-Life Stone shouldn't be a fake. But why can't we see your lineage?" asked Xiao Manxuan, puzzled.

Lin Tian shrugged and said, "I don't know either; maybe the Three-Life Stone temporarily malfunctioned."

"What a pity, missing this opportunity. Who knows when you can find your parents again?" Xiao Manxuan said, feeling sorry for Lin Tian.

For she sensed that Lin Tian's heart wasn't as carefree as he appeared regarding this matter. When it comes to lineage, no one can truly be carefree, unless they've hardened their hearts.

"Let's see what fate brings. If it's destiny, we'll surely meet one day." Lin Tian said confidently.

They crossed Naihe Bridge and traveled back along Huangquan Road, but this time heading outward. All the wandering souls noticed their reverse path, and some ghost messengers came to stop them. Whenever this happened, Lin Tian used the Ksitigarbha Order to pave the way, dealing with minor ghosts was merely wasting time.

The Huangquan Road was long, and Lin Tian and the two women walked for a long time before seeing the tall archway from afar.

"The Ghost Gate has arrived." Lin Tian, with the best eyesight, saw furthest and informed the two women in advance.

Ghost Gate was still in order, checking the route of the new souls. The arrival of Lin Tian and the others instantly disrupted the order before Ghost Gate.

"Stop, you aren't ghost messengers. Who allowed you to leave through Ghost Gate? Turn back now, or be captured." A small guard shouted aggressively.

Lin Tian again took out the Ksitigarbha Order, raised it high, and the previously fierce guards immediately kneeled.

"Paying respects to Ksitigarbha..."

"Lin Tian, you are so imposing. You wouldn't know how nasty these gate guards are; they whip and insult any new soul that slightly offends them." Xiao Manxuan remarked indignantly.

Lin Tian squinted and said coldly, "Did any ghost messengers hit you when you came in?"

"Actually, no. At that time, they were disciplining other souls, allowing us to pass safely." Xiao Manxuan replied.

Lin Tian glanced coldly at the ghost soldiers and said, "Consider yourselves lucky. If any of you laid a hand on her, Black Impermanence would be your fate."

The gate's guards shivered, happy they hadn't caused trouble for the girl; otherwise, their fate would be worse than death.

It had spread among the ghost messengers that Black Impermanence was beaten to death and cast into reincarnation. Had this happened to the minor guards, they wouldn't even have a chance at reincarnation.

Under the watchful eyes of many ghost messengers and souls, Lin Tian and his companions left Ghost Gate. Leaving Ghost Gate meant leaving the territory governed by ghost messengers.

"Let's stop here and not go any further." Zhang Lingyu suddenly said.

"What should we do now?" Lin Tian asked, unsure what Zhang Lingyu needed to open a temporary Gate of Hell.

"In a moment, I'll draw a formation; we're all to stand in the center. After activating the formation, my marker at the Xiao Family will coordinate, guiding us out of the Netherworld back to Xuanxuan's bedroom." Zhang Lingyu explained.

As she drew the formation, Lin Tian had a moment to ask curiously, "If there's no coordinate left outside in the human world, can we still get out?"

"Crossing two realms without coordinates might lead to getting lost. Even if we exit, we might end up vastly distant from where we intended, like from Xuanxuan's bedroom to Zhonghai City." Zhang Lingyu explained while drawing the formation.

She used a brush, the ink was red, of unknown material, and shortly a complex pattern appeared on the ground.

"It's done. Stand inside and don't move while I cast the spell, or you'll end up in the wrong place. Transmitting to Zhonghai City or Jinghua City might be alright, but transmission to Netherworld's depths is certain doom." Zhang Lingyu warned solemnly.

Lin Tian stepped inside, held the two women's hands, and said, "Don't let go, even if we end up transmitting to a dangerous place, we'll face it together."

Zhang Lingyu and Xiao Manxuan struggled slightly but failed to break free from Lin Tian's grip. The two women accidentally exchanged glances, their faces reddening.
