Chapter 531 - 327: Authority of the Netherworld!_2
And the mere fact that the grass known as Dragon Tongue can be born from the essence of a dead self and possess such power reveals just how rare the Nether Dragon is, and how exceedingly difficult it is for mere mortals to obtain it.
There’s also the legendary Meng Po Soup.
Meng Po Soup is the tea that all ghosts must consume before reincarnation, causing everyone, from mere mortals to the gods in heaven, to forget all of their past lives, signifying a fresh start. It is unknown exactly how Meng Po Soup is made.
Some believe it’s concocted by Meng Po herself, but that may not be the case; it is simply named after her because she is the legendary steward of this soup.
Essentially, it should be a kind of spirit water naturally produced by heaven and earth, akin to the legendary Three Lights Divine Water.
Whoever holds the authority over Meng Po Soup would also gain a powerful position within the Netherworld.
Then there’s the Sansheng Stone; after death, upon traversing the Yellow Springs Road and arriving at the Naihe Bridge, one would see the Sansheng Stone.
It has always stood beside the Naihe Bridge, watching over those in the mortal realm who are about to drink Meng Po Soup and enter the cycle of rebirth. Legend has it that the Sansheng Stone can reveal one’s appearance in past lives.
The cause of a previous life, the effect of the present life, the cycle of fate, the beginning and end of karmic relations, are all heavily inscribed upon the Sansheng Stone. For thousands of years, it has witnessed the suffering and joy, sorrow and pleasure, laughter and tears of countless beings. Debts owed, affections due, all are dismissed before the Sansheng Stone.
In other words, the Sansheng Stone is a divine stone that has the power to clear a person’s karmic debts and grievances, something not even immortals can easily dispel.
Otherwise, so many gods and immortals wouldn’t be plagued by karmic burdens.
If one could control the Sansheng Stone, naturally, one would obtain a portion of the authority within the Dark Nether Mansion.
