Ancient times.
At this moment, all sentient beings in the prehistoric times heard Hou Tu's vow to reincarnate, and they couldn't help but sigh with emotion at Hou Tu's compassionate act.
Of course, except for the Demon Clan. Emperor Jun wished that Hou Tu would fall like this. In this way, the Wu Clan would be severely damaged. Moreover, without Hou Tu, the Wu Clan would not even be able to arrange the formation of the Twelve Heavenly Gods. They would win by then. It must be their demon clan.
The other eleven ancestral witches of the witch clan were anxious at this moment, and they rushed towards the sea of blood in unison.
When the six saints heard Hou Tu's vow, they also murmured: "Mercy, mercy."
Just when everyone thought Hou Tu had fallen, Xuan Chen's voice came out, leaving everyone confused.
If I remember correctly, what Houtu was talking about just now was the Six Paths of Reincarnation, right?
How come someone vows to save all sentient beings in the five realms?
What about another one?
Moreover, Jie Jiao Xuanchen should be a disciple of Tongtian. How could he get involved with the ancestral witch of the Wu clan?
And the vows made, are there too many prefixes, Pangu, Dao, Heaven, Earth, humanity, saints...
They know the Great God Pangu, the Great Dao, the Heavenly Way, and the saints, but what the hell are these earthly ways and human ways?
Many great powers in the ancient world only knew the great road and the heavenly way, but did not know the earthly way and the human way. However, as saints, the Six Sages of the Heavenly Way were able to sense that there were earthly ways and human ways in the ancient world, but they had never appeared in the world. Taiqing and Yuanshi couldn't help but look at Tongtian.
"Ahem, I don't know what that boy Xuanchen is up to?"
Being stared at by his two brothers, Tongtian felt a little uncomfortable, so he coughed and explained.
The twenty-four Dinghai Divine Pearls were swallowed up by reincarnation. At this moment, the golden cloud of merit that had slowly dissipated appeared again. Although it was not as numerous as the previous reincarnations of Houtu, it could almost catch up with the merits of any of their saints.
This means that Heaven recognizes Xuan Chen’s vow.
At this moment, a huge will appeared in the wilderness, and every living being could feel its presence. Different from the majesty of the way of heaven, this will was thicker and authentic. Sanqing looked at each other and confirmed his guess. .
The will of the earth is revived.
With the help of the will of the earth, the twenty-four Dinghai Divine Pearls continue to expand, absorbing the Yin Qi, death Qi, resentment, and blood that permeate the reincarnation, and then transform into thousands of worlds, and finally evolve into twenty-four levels of hell.
According to the later Taoist classic "Yuanshi Tianzun Speaks of Fengdu Crime Extinguishing Sutra", the Tianzun told: After all living beings' parents and family members die in hell, they should build meritorious associations, and the souls of the dead will be reborn in heaven, and will not fall into the evil ways. They will spread across the country and follow the teachings. Cultivation can save the souls of the dead without going through hell. For example, if you practice Taoism, your merits are immeasurable, and you will receive retribution according to the severity of your sins. If you commit extensive evil and do not do any good deeds, you will be sent to the twenty-four prisons after your death, and your sins will be tested according to the law.
The twenty-four prisons are:
One is called Prison Heaven Hell, and the other is called Flat Heaven Hell.
The third is called the Nine Heavens Hell, the fourth is the Hell of Laws and Orders,
The fifth is the Cold Hell, the sixth is the Infinite Hell.
The seventh is called Taizhen Hell, the eighth is called Sanliu Hell,
The ninth is called Tianyi Hell, and the tenth is called Black Tribulation Hell.
The eleventh day is the hell of female youth, the twelveth day is the hell of torture.
The thirteenth is called the Sword Mountain Hell, the fourteenth is the Sword Tree Hell.
The fifteenth day is called the Bronze Pillar Hell, the sixteenth day is the Bed Hell.
The seventeenth day is the volcano hell, the eighteenth day is the charcoal hell.
The nineteenth day is called the Hell of Copper Juice, and the twentieth day is called the Hell of Saw Prices.
Twenty-one is the charcoal hell, twenty-two is the ice hell.
Twenty-three is called Hebo Hell, and twenty-four is called Hot Fire Hell.
These are the twenty-four hells in Taoist mythology, which are completely different from the eighteen levels of hell in Buddhist teachings.
Just when all living beings were surprised by the way of heaven and the way of earth appeared, a more vast will descended on the ancient world.
Several saints were also inexplicably surprised. This will is the great road. Hasn't the great road already receded?
Why would he come to the prehistoric world again?
At this moment, the twenty-four hells have taken shape, 70% of the merits sent down by heaven are absorbed by Xuanchen, and 30% are integrated into the twenty-four hells.
Houtu, who originally only had his soul left, has now condensed into a physical body, and the animal skin on his body has turned into a gorgeous robe.
Hou Tu was wearing a crown and court clothes, and she was graceful and solemn. The moment she opened her eyes, a terrifying holy power emanated from Hou Tu, sweeping across the nine heavens and ten lands, shocking the world. .
Feeling the authentic will deep in the netherworld, and looking at Xuan Chen, Hou Tu instantly understood what happened after her reincarnation.
The Asura Road was destroyed, and Xuanchen later used the twenty-four Dinghai Divine Pearls to evolve the twenty-four hells and perfect the netherworld.
I saw the black and yellow energy surrounding Hou Tu, and the divine chain of the laws of Tao and Dao emerged. His figure directly reflected the heavens and the world, and then he said: "Today, my Hou Tu evolves into the five realms of reincarnation, establishes the netherworld, masters the laws of reincarnation, and proves the Tao. Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian should be an authentic saint."
"After death, all living beings will neither enter the path of immortality nor the path of demons. Those who have committed serious sins should suffer in the twenty-four prisons, and they can be reincarnated only after they have suffered."
"Those who have great merits during their lifetimes should enter the realm of gods and humans, and those who are less willing to leave can enter the realm of hell and serve as servants in the netherworld. Those who have committed serious sins will enter the realm of animals in the next life. Those who have committed serious sins and are stubborn will enter the realm of hungry ghosts. road."
"From now on, Mount Tai will be the entrance to the Yin and Yang worlds. After death, the soul will enter the Netherworld from Mount Tai and reincarnate."
"Come out of the Netherworld."
Unlike the Purple Qi of the Heavenly Saints who traveled thirty thousand miles from the east, Hou Tu's enlightenment at this moment is the black and yellow Qi that goes straight up to the ninth heaven and turns into various strange phenomena.
Billions of living beings, with tears in their eyes, looked at the figure of Empress Houtu and knelt on the ground, shouting: "Empress Houtu is merciful."
But those powerful people were dumbfounded. Is Houtu a saint who has attained enlightenment?
A true saint? In this world, besides Hongmeng Purple Qi, are there other ways to achieve enlightenment?
At this moment, the will of the Great Dao appeared, and the merits of the Great Dao gathered in the sea of blood.
These are the merits left by Pangu’s founding of heaven.
After the death of Pangu after he created the sky, 30% of these merits were integrated into the three pure states transformed by Pangu Yuanshen, 20% were divided up by the twelve ancestral witches, and 20% were combined with the Hongmeng Qi and Xuanhuang Qi generated when the sky was created, and were transformed under the condensation of the Great Dao. Make two treasures of acquired merit, the Hongmeng Heavenly Ruler and the Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda of Heaven and Earth.
There is another layer that combines with the awe-inspiring righteousness in Pangu's chest, turning it into a rare treasure of heaven, and the heavens celebrate the clouds.
The remaining two floors are integrated into the prehistoric world.
But the 20% of the great merits that were now integrated into the prehistoric world appeared again, and then were divided into two, about three-quarters were obtained by Houtu, and a quarter was integrated into Xuanchen's body.
It turns out that after the prehistoric world was formed, Daodao gave the eight successful virtues of Pangu's creation to Pangu's descendants and the treasure of refining successful virtues respectively. The remaining 20% was integrated into the prehistoric world without knowing what to do with it.
Now that Hou Tu's reincarnation has inherited Pangu's will, Da Dao is ready to give these two successful virtues to Hou Tu.
Xuan Chen evolved into the twenty-four hells, which was helpful to the establishment of reincarnation, and he swore to the great road, so he was divided into exactly one quarter.
All the great powers in the wild are at a loss. What is going on today? All the great masters have appeared?
Just when many great powers were preparing to go to the Blood Sea to worship, Hou Tu himself rolled up Xuan Chen who was staring at him and entered reincarnation.
After Houtu entered reincarnation, all the strange phenomena disappeared instantly, and the five reincarnations in the center of the blood sea gradually disappeared, and he escaped into the netherworld. Even the huge whirlpool in the center of the blood sea gradually subsided, as if it had never appeared.
At the same time, a pillar of light rose into the sky from Mount Tai, representing the top world of the Netherworld, which was comparable to the heavenly world.
As a result, many great powers from the prehistoric times went to the realm of Mount Tai.
In the nether world, at this moment, the merits of the Tao entered the body, and Xuan Chen fell into an unprecedented state of enlightenment. His understanding of magic, magical powers, practice, and realms skyrocketed. He was surrounded by Tao Yun and the five qi were circling.
The merits of the Great Dao and the merits of the Heavenly Way can both help with enlightenment and practice, but the effect is far beyond that of the merits of the Heavenly Way.
Let's put it this way, the incense and luck in future generations are equivalent to diluted merits, which are about one. The merits of the heavenly path are ten, and the merits of the great path are one hundred.
To step into Taiyi Golden Immortal, one must first condense the five qi and form the seeds of the five qi in the chest.
The practice of the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm is to continuously strengthen the five qi in the chest. After the five qi have grown to a certain extent, you can try to condense the three flowers on top. After the three flowers are formed, you can realize a law and achieve it, and then you can try to impact the big body. Luo Jinxian.
At this moment, with the help of the merits of the Great Dao, Xuan Chen only felt that there was divine help, so he began to try to condense the five qi seeds.
Soon, the Qi of the Five Elements was continuously absorbed and refined by Xuan Chen. The Nether World had just been born, and the four elements of earth, fire, water and wind were being decomposed into the Qi of the Five Elements. This was a God-given opportunity.
A few days passed by, the five energy seeds were completely formed, and Xuan Chen was successfully promoted to Taiyi Golden Immortal.
While Xuan Chen was immersed in cultivation, the incarnation of Xuan Yuan was at war with Ming He.
Although he lost the Tiangang World-Suppressing Tower, he obtained the Sun-Moon Jinglun and the Cuiwei Liangyi Lamp from the demon clan, and for a while he was fighting back and forth with the Styx River.
There were countless clones of the Son of the Blood God of Styx. Xuanyuan used the Divine Fire of Ten Thousand Tribulations to clear the way, and the Sun and Moon Essence Wheel protected his body. He finally broke out of the Netherworld Blood Sea and left the Netherworld Blood Sea. The threat level of Styx suddenly plummeted.
But whether it was the invasion of Liangjie's aura or the anger of the destruction of Asura Road, Minghe, who had always been a steady guy, actually rushed out of the sea of blood, holding Yuantu Abi's two top-quality innate spiritual treasures, chasing Xuanyuan all the way. Above the East China Sea.
Although he left the Blood Sea, Styx's offensive methods were greatly reduced, but with the protection of the 12th-grade Karma Red Lotus, Xuanyuan could not do anything to him.
Fortunately, I had anticipated this situation thousands of years ago and borrowed the treasure money from Zhao Gongming.
Xuanyuan, a quasi-sage in the late stage, used the power of merit to pile up, but his offensive power has always been somewhat insufficient compared to the same level.
Whether it was his previous sparring with Jumang Zuwu or his battle with Donghuang Taiyi, he was always at a disadvantage against such an opponent with extremely strong defense.
If the opponent possesses the best defensive spirit treasure, it will be difficult for Xuanyuan to hurt the opponent.
But now that he has the treasure money in hand, under the saint, except for Donghuang Taiyi's Chaos Bell, other defensive treasures are just a decoration in front of him.
Keeping running away was just to lure Styx out of the Sea of Blood.
Ming He was steady by nature, and Xuan Yuan did not expect that he would actually chase him out of the sea of blood this time, but it was just what he wanted, so he led Ming He all the way to the East China Sea.
When he arrived at the East China Sea, Xuanyuan stopped running away. Instead, he turned around and blasted the Divine Fire of Ten Thousand Tribulations towards the River Styx. The raging flames turned the East China Sea red like a sea of blood.
Then the sun and moon essence wheels broke through the void and emerged from behind the Styx. The two forces of the sun and lunar energy turned into a divine light and went straight to the center of the Styx. The purpose was to force the Styx to sacrifice the red lotus of karma for defense.
As expected, being attacked at the same time, Ming He could only use the Karma Red Lotus to resist, but Xuanyuan was waiting for this opportunity.
A golden copper coin with wings and engraved with the inscription of heaven appeared in Xuanyuan's hand instantly.
Xuanyuan only felt that his own merits and luck were constantly passing away. Because his cultivation was the accumulation of merits, it seemed that his cultivation had begun to decline. Most people really didn't dare to use this thing, but now that he has gained a lot of merits, he can make up for it at any time. , Xuanyuan doesn’t care either.
After absorbing enough merit and luck, the fallen treasure money instantly emitted a golden light, hitting the twelve-level karma red lotus at the foot of the River Styx.
In the blink of an eye, the Karma Fire Red Lotus seemed to have lost its owner's control and fell directly to the East China Sea below.
Xuanyuan was well prepared. After attacking the Styx River, the Sun and Moon Jinglun appeared on the East China Sea below, rolled up the Karma Fire Red Lotus and flew towards Xuanyuan.
Without the protection of the Red Lotus of Karma Fire, the River Styx was instantly flooded by the Divine Fire of Ten Thousand Tribulations.
"What kind of magic weapon is this?"
Sure enough, none of these powers are simple. Even without Karma Red Lotus, Styx only suffered some minor injuries.
The moment he was hit by the Divine Fire of Ten Thousand Tribulations, Ming He made a quick decision and sent tens of thousands of Blood God Sons to stand in front of him. Only then did he avoid being severely injured, but he was also extremely frightened. Then he saw the Red Lotus of Karma Fire reaching Xuanyuan's hand. superior.
Xuanyuan didn't want to say any more, so he raised his sword and struck towards the Styx again.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Minghe wanted to escape first. He used Yuantu Abi to parry a blow and then fled towards the sea of blood.
This is also one of the reasons why Styx lives a long time. When he sees the situation is not good, he immediately runs away, even if he loses the Karma Fire Red Lotus, he doesn't care.
Of course, Xuanyuan would not let go of Styx easily, and pursued him towards the sea of blood.
In the blink of an eye, the offensive and defensive momentum changed.
And the other side.
In the Netherworld, Xuan Chen had just been promoted to Taiyi Golden Immortal. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Hou Tu staring at him.
"I've met Saint Houtu."
Although he was startled, Xuan Chen still bowed first out of respect for the saint.
However, Hou Tu smiled and said: "Congratulations to Fellow Taoist for breaking through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm, but I don't know whether I should call you Fellow Daoist Xuanchen or Fellow Daoist Xuanyuan?"
Xuan Chen remained calm on the surface, but his heart was filled with turmoil.
Damn it, how did Hou Tu see it? Didn't Nuwa say that she had concealed the secret of heaven, but even other saints couldn't see it?
How come Houtu, a newly minted saint, could tell it at a glance.
As if he had guessed Xuan Chen's inner thoughts, Hou Tu continued: "Don't worry, there are two saints hiding the secrets of heaven, one is Tongtian, and the other should be Nuwa, even other saints can't see through it. "
"But because I am a saint based on the law of reincarnation, I am particularly sensitive to the soul, soul, and spirit. That's why I noticed something unusual about you."
"Don't worry, if you hadn't blasted the Asura Dao, my soul would have been completely swallowed by reincarnation at this moment, instead of being integrated with it."
"This time I became enlightened, thanks to the help of fellow Taoists."
Seeing Hou Tu being so candid, Xuan Chen felt relieved and explained to Hou Tu that he had deduced the innate gossip before and that Xuanyuan was born in order to create a guardian for the human race.
Now that they are in the same boat, they are not worried about Hou Tu telling anyone.
But for him, in addition to Nuwa Empress helping him to cover up the secret, Tongtian Cult Master actually also took action to cover up the secret for him.
It seems that although this master doesn't say it on the surface, he is still very concerned about his own safety.
If Hou Tu hadn't told me today, I wouldn't have known about it.
Xuan Chen began to look at it at this moment. In this Netherworld, there is the Yellow Spring transformed from the water of the sea of blood, as well as the Guimen Pass, Huangquan Road, Naihe Bridge, the City of Wasted Death, the Hall of the King of Hell, the Platform of Evil Realm, Cuiyun Palace, the Twenty-Four Prisons, etc. There are many buildings, but they are a bit dark.
Suddenly, Xuan Chen remembered the corpses of the nine Golden Crow princes. Could they be refined into the sun in the underworld?
So Xuan Chen immediately took out a middle-grade acquired spiritual treasure and took out the bodies of nine little golden crows.
Previously, the purple gold gourd was used to contain ghosts and resentful spirits, so Xuan Chen refined another storage spirit treasure to hide the body of Little Golden Crow.
Xuan Chen explained his thoughts to Hou Tu. Hou Tu's thoughts moved slightly, and the endless Nether Qi swept in, constantly tempering the bodies of the nine golden crows, and then with a wave of his right hand, they appeared in the sky of the Nether World. Nine rounds of underworld sun.
But although the underworld sun illuminates the underworld, it emits cold clear light instead of the hot true fire of the sun.
This made Xuan Chen sigh with emotion at the saint's power.
Hou Tu flicked his finger, and a ball of pure sun origin was driven into Xuan Chen's body.
"The Netherworld is the home of the dead. They cannot bear the power of the sun. I have extracted all the sun's origin from Little Golden Crow's body. It should be useful to you."
"By the way, release the resentful spirits and ghosts that you kept away before. Reincarnation has been established, and it's time to send them to reincarnation."
While Xuanchen was sighing at the power of the saint, Houtu slowly spoke.
So Xuan Chen took out the purple gold gourd and released all the resentful spirits he had collected before. Hou Tu waved his hand and completely erased their memories and sent them to reincarnation.
Xuan Chen also saw that the current Netherworld was not perfect yet.
Houtu can only do everything herself, so it is recommended that she choose the right people as soon as possible to perfect the Netherworld.
Hou Tu unconsciously looked at Xuan Chen, but Xuan Chen rejected him because of his low cultivation level. He had no intention of becoming the Ghost Emperor of Yama or anything like that. The affairs of the human race were enough for him to have a headache.
"Your incarnation has offended the demon clan, and this time it has offended the Styx. I'm afraid the future will not be easy."
"So be sure to hide the relationship between you and the avatar."
Seeing Xuanchen's refusal, Houtu didn't mind, but started urging him.
"It's just that the soldiers will stop them and the water will cover them. Even if the incarnation suffers disaster, when I improve my cultivation, I will find them one by one."
Xuan Chen is no longer the savage who just traveled through time. He is now a disciple of Jie Jiao, the Yuan Emperor of the human race, and the Taiyi Golden Immortal. He has full confidence in his future, so he said with certainty.
Hou Tu said no more, but prepared to further improve the Nether World.
Although today's Houtu is also subject to various constraints in the ancient times because of her status as a saint, because her soul has survived and she has reshaped her body with her own essence and blood, she is not trapped in the land of reincarnation like she was in the original trajectory. She is now It is possible to leave the Netherworld.
I don't know what kind of impact a saint who can leave the Netherworld will have on this calamity. Xuan Chen is very much looking forward to it.
It will take some time to perfect the Netherworld, and he can't help, so after telling him to return the remaining two drops of essence and blood to Houtu, Xuanchen summoned the Qingsuo Sword, stepped on the flying sword, and prepared to leave the Netherworld first.
The moment Xuan Chen stepped out of the Netherworld, he saw Mount Tai with the sea of clouds billowing under the sun, and felt as if he was in another world.
Scenes from the past emerged one after another, and I was full of confidence in the future. I couldn't help but feel something in my heart, and blurted out: "I am going to the world of mortals to refine the Taoist fruit, and the vastness will move the world together. One day, I will draw a sword from the sky and dare to go up to the sky to kill the Demon Emperor."
This chapter is also a big one. Because the second volume is over, in order to appear coherent, I will not publish it in two chapters. Tomorrow it will resume two updates a day. Each chapter is normally one chapter with 3,000 words. Please vote for me.
