Upon hearing this, Xuandu bowed to Meng Po and said, "I am Xuandu, a disciple of the Sage Taiqing. I have come here today to see Lady Pingxing. I beg you to grant me permission, senior."
Before Meng Po could speak, a clear, cold female voice that resounded throughout the underworld suddenly rang out.
"What arrogance! Do you think you can just see me whenever you want?"
"You have ten breaths to get out of the underworld, or you will be sent into the cycle of reincarnation."
Upon hearing this, the twelve Golden Immortals were filled with rage. They were used to being arrogant, and this was the first time they had encountered such a rebuff.
Guang Chengzi, who was in the lead, was about to speak when Xuandu quickly pulled him back, saying, "It was my presumption, Your Majesty. Please forgive me, I will leave now."
After he finished speaking, he ignored the Twelve Golden Immortals and directly fled from the underworld.
The Twelve Golden Immortals looked on with astonishment and disdain at Xuan Du's departing figure.
Is this the senior disciple of the People's Education Press?
They're like rats!
Ten breaths had passed, and the Twelve Golden Immortals were still figuring out how to get in.
Meng Po manifested a giant hand, which directly captured everyone. Then, a group of underworld officials appeared, leading countless underworld soldiers and generals, who locked up the Twelve Golden Immortals and took them away.
The twelve Golden Immortals struggled, but were unable to escape. They could only bark wildly, relying on the disciples of the Sage to threaten the gods of the Underworld.
After passing the Wangxiangtai (Viewing Hometown Terrace), ahead lies a vast ghost city, with the three large characters "Yin Tianzi" (Emperor of the Underworld) inscribed on its plaque.
The residences of the Five Ghost Emperors and the Ten Yama Kings, as well as their offices, are all located within this city.
This ghost city of the underworld is extremely vast, like a microcosm of the universe.
Moreover, it is also the entrance to the six realms of reincarnation.
The six realms of reincarnation are: the realm of gods, the realm of asuras, the realm of humans, the realm of animals, the realm of hungry ghosts, and the realm of hell.
Among them, the Heavenly Realm, the Asura Realm, and the Human Realm are the three superior realms, also known as the three good realms, because their good and evil deeds, that is, their cause and effect, are superior, making them the best choice for beings to be reborn in.
The animal realm, the hungry ghost realm, and the hell realm are the three lower realms, also known as the three evil realms. Because of the heavy consequences of their good and evil deeds, they are extremely terrifying, and those who are reborn there will suffer endless torment.
The Emperor's Palace was like a palace in the underworld. Inside, on a golden dragon throne, sat an emperor who looked down upon the world.
It was Ling Xiao.
He wore a twelve-tassel crown, a black robe and a crimson skirt, and a gold and jade belt around his waist.
Behind him were nine stunningly beautiful young women, each holding a ceremonial pheasant-tail fan.
Below the imperial steps stood eighty-one honor guards, each a Great Luo Realm cultivator, each holding a golden mace, exuding an imposing aura.
Seated before the tables on either side of the main hall were the Five Ghost Emperors and the Ten Kings of Hell.
The Five Ghost Emperors are appointed by a group of great shamans from the Wu Clan.
The Ten Kings of Hell are all Westerners placed by Lingxiao.
At this moment, in the center of the hall, singing and dancing were in full swing. Many dancers' sleeves fluttered, and musicians rang bells and struck chimes. The melodious sounds lingered and did not dissipate.
The Twelve Golden Immortals were escorted to the Emperor's Palace, where they were subjected to a barrage of foul language. Upon arriving at the palace, however, they refused to kneel before the Emperor of the Underworld.
The underworld officials broke their legs, forcing them to kneel.
Soon, Yuanshi and Taiqing appeared in the underworld.
At this moment, Houtu rushed from Pingxin Palace to the Emperor's Palace and sat down with Lingxiao.
The purpose of Yuanshi and Taiqing's visit was still to demand a position in the underworld.
As for avenging the humiliation suffered by the Twelve Golden Immortals, they did want to, but they were no match for Houtu, so they kept the matter quiet.
Houtu naturally wouldn't allow it, as all the high-ranking positions in the underworld are already filled.
Even though those beings from the outside world are envious of the many merits that the underworld generates every day, Houtu is not afraid.
Even if Hongjun came to the underworld, she would still not care.
At this moment, Ling Xiao thought that if he could harvest Yuanshi and Taiqing again, he could also gain cultivation feedback.
How should I lie?
Ling Xiao directly implanted a mental anomaly in the two of them, allowing them to see that in another primordial world, Yuan Shi and Tai Qing abolished their saintly positions, then established the Heavenly Palace, becoming its founders, managing all the gods in the heavens every day, and gaining countless Heavenly Dao merits.
This requires relinquishing one's holy status.
This is a complete scam, deceiving the two into ruining their own futures.
Ling Xiao chuckled inwardly.
Even a Heavenly Saint cannot stop a spiritual anomaly.
In a short time, the two of them spent a million years in another dimension.
Having witnessed the beginning and the primordial state of that world, they lived a carefree and leisurely life in the Heavenly Palace, their status even surpassing that of Hongjun.
However, one must first sever ties with the Way of Heaven.
This made the two of them hesitate.
Ling Xiao, however, was in no hurry. He had already planted a seed of inner demons in the hearts of these two, and they would eventually be unable to resist.
At that time, the two saints relinquished their saintly positions, but ultimately gained nothing and even broke ties with Hongjun. How interesting!
now.
Houtu immediately told the two of them to leave.
Faced with Houtu, the representative of the Earthly Realm, who was of the same status as Hongjun, the two saints had no choice but to leave in a sorry state with the Twelve Golden Immortals.
"It's time for me to leave too."
In the Emperor's Palace, Ling Xiao took his leave.
He had already said that although he was called the Emperor of the Underworld, he didn't usually get involved in anything.
Like Houtu, although she held power, she still needed a group of subordinates to do her work.
Houtu naturally agreed.
With five Ghost Emperors and ten Yama Kings, the Underworld is well-equipped to function.
Ling Xiao gave some more instructions to his subordinates, then left the Underworld and arrived at the ancestral land of the human race.
Although he was not in the underworld, the merits of the underworld flowed into Ling Xiao's acupoints every day, and his strength increased day by day.
This is the benefit of doing good deeds!
Even without breaking through to a higher realm, his combat power has been continuously increasing.
There are still 800 years until the promised return in a thousand years!
Ling Xiao's plan is to raise his overall strength to the level of a Great Dao Saint within eight hundred years.
His divine sense directly enveloped the entire human race.
I want to see how the human race is developing now.
But suddenly, inside a cave, he sensed two fluctuations of spiritual energy.
The cave was hidden very deep, a place so remote that it was virtually untouched by humans, which is why no human creature had ever found it.
As Ling Xiao entered the cave, he saw a square golden seal with a lifelike jade dragon engraved on it. The seal was radiating golden light and a faint dragon's roar could be heard.
"The supreme treasure of the human race, the Kongtong Seal."
This object was born with the birth of humanity, manifesting as the essence of human destiny.
Ling Xiao swept his divine sense over the area, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes, "The will of humanity..."
He sensed that the will of humanity was not as mature as the Way of Heaven, nor as immature as the Way of Earth; it was merely a faint wisp of energy.
This Kongtong Seal can hold the destiny of the human race in one's own body and control the rise and fall of human rulers. Whoever possesses this Kongtong Seal will be the uncrowned emperor of the human race!
The human race's fortune was acquired by Laozi of Taiqing.
This matter is of great importance. Sooner or later, Lingxiao will abolish the Human Sect with the Kongtong Seal and then reclaim the fortune of the human race.
As for Nuwa, with her merits, she is now worthy of enjoying the fortune of the human race, especially since she was the one who founded the human race.
Ling Xiao had already thought of it: he would let Nuwa, the founder of the human race, control the will of the underground passage.
Back then, both the humane and the local people were one of us!
Ling Xiao put away the Kongtong Seal, and then glanced around, looking at a ruler shrouded in purple aura that lingered in the void inside the cave.
