On the Avenue.

Chapter 340 Immortal, Evil

"The Tribulation Realm and Ascension Realm were cut off by the True King?"

Chen Shi's mind was buzzing. He had long discovered that the True King's Tomb skills were very different from those in the outside world. The True King's Tomb skills did not have the four realms of shrine, divine fetus, divine descent, and refining the void, but had two more realms of transcending tribulation and ascending!
He once speculated that the decline of the True King era led to a gap in civilization, and many skills were lost or seriously incomplete. Later generations could not make up for the Tribulation Realm and Ascension Realm, and had to borrow power from the True God.

But what he didn't expect was that the two realms of transcending tribulation and ascending would be cut off by the True King himself!
"Is what Yang Bi said necessarily true? Maybe Yang Bi is just lying to me?"

He hesitated for a moment and thought, "It is also possible that the news Yang Bi received was also false news deliberately spread by others."

Yang Bi said: "The True King eliminated the Tribulation Realm and the Ascension Realm, and with the addition of the Divine Shrine, the Divine Embryo, the Divine Descent, and the Four Realms of Refining the Void, the Taoism of Xiniuzhou regressed greatly, and later there was a disaster that destroyed the True King era..."

"Wait a moment."

Chen Shi couldn't help but ask, "Shaohu, why did the True King reduce the two realms of transcending tribulation and ascending? Why did he add four more realms such as the shrine and the divine fetus?"

Yang Bi said, "The ancestor said that the True King went to the Slope of Despair, and after returning, he ordered the immortal to be sealed, and the two realms of transcending tribulation and ascending to heaven were reduced. He also said that some incomprehensible things happened at the end of the True King era. At that time, people dug out some not-so-good things from the imperial capital, which caused great pollution, and later a catastrophe broke out. The True King sealed the immortal and reduced the realm, in addition to being related to the Slope of Despair, it is probably also related to these incomprehensible things."

Chen Shi's heart was slightly moved. He had also heard about the rumors about King Zhen moving the capital.

Legend has it that the first capital of the King was in Xinxiang, which was then called the Imperial Capital. Later, it was moved to Yudu, and then to Xijing.

"According to the ancient records of my Yang family, the True King moved the capital approximately four times, and all four times were related to disasters."

Yang Bi said, "A hundred miles away is a demon, a thousand miles away is a disaster, and ten thousand miles away is a catastrophe. These four disasters will inevitably cause great damage, forcing the True King to move the capital. From the east coast all the way to the west coast. After the heavenly change, the True King cut off the tribulation and ascended to two realms to deal with the heavenly change."

Chen Shi frowned slightly.

Many things in Yang Bi's words don't make sense. For example, why did the trip to the Hill of Despair force the True King to cut off two major realms and add four more realms: the shrine and the divine fetus?
Why did the True King confer immortal titles, leaving the world without any immortals?
However, if the True King didn't say anything, the ancestors of the Yang family didn't know much about the True King's trip to the Hill of Despair, and Yang Bi naturally had no idea about it.

"Shaohu, can you tell me about the True King's enthronement as an immortal?" Chen Shi asked.

Yang Bi shook his head and said, "The ancestor only mentioned that the True King was enthroned as an immortal, but did not mention the specific method of enthronement."

He glanced at the white-clothed fairy under the willow tree next to Chen Shi. His expression moved slightly, but he didn't say much. He continued, "The ancestor said that the collapse of the True King era made him realize that the True King was wrong. The True King shouldn't have been enthroned as an immortal, and shouldn't have cut off the calamity and ascended to the two realms. The True King was too cowardly. Facing the Despair Slope, he was afraid. This action caused the True King to have no power to resist when the Despair Slope attacked Xiniu Xinzhou! This glorious era collapsed overnight, and the gods from China were annihilated one after another, and the people of the Ming Dynasty were trapped on the isolated island of Xiniu Xinzhou. The True King is a sinner!"

When he said this, he couldn't help but feel angry.

Chen Shi wanted to say something but stopped himself, but decided to just listen to him quietly.

"The ancestors of my thirteen families witnessed the fall of the True King era. At that time, they were not strong enough and could only watch the True King being killed. They could only compromise. But that incident also led the ancestors of the thirteen families to decide that they must accumulate strength and not be as cowardly as the True King. We, the thirteen families who have served as prime ministers of the cabinet, decided to hold all the power in our hands and grow secretly!"

Yang Bi said, "The Thirteen Families must first master the power of the Yang World, and then go from the Yang World to the Netherworld, and master the power of the Netherworld as well, so as to gather the incense from all over the world, and thus have the power to compete with the Despair Slope and the True God from Beyond Heaven!"

"For more than six thousand years, all the successive clan masters of the thirteen families, all the cultivators of the Returning Void and Mahayana stages, have also contributed their own Void Great Realms. Before they die, they have to contribute their own Void Great Realms to form the Upper Realm."

"The world above the world is the world of the soul created by my thirteen families, a place to accumulate power."

"They made a thorough and detailed plan and accumulated strength for five thousand years. Fifteen hundred years ago, they finally decided to take action against the underworld."

"We, the thirteen families, have gradually eroded the power of the Ten Kings of Hell, dismantled the Judge of the Underworld, Yin Shuai, and replaced him with our own people. As of today, all the Ten Kings of Hell have fallen into my hands."

"The thirteen ancestors calculated that when the weather changes to the most intense time, that is when the True God is at its weakest. At that time, Despair Hill is also at its weakest, and it is the best time for us to take action."

Yang Bi was silent for a moment, and said: "Chen Shi, what my Thirteenth Family did may not be glorious, and we did do a lot of evil things, but we are all for the restoration of the True King's prosperity! Whether it is supporting the young master or seizing the position of the Ten Kings of Hell in the underworld, we are all moving forward towards this goal!"

Chen Shi said: "The thirteen noble families have done more than just evil. They have stolen the world for their own use and regarded all living beings as grass. They have long since become thirteen incomparable evil spirits. Everything you do is just to strengthen yourselves. Even if you win, you will only establish yourself as kings. What does it have to do with the people?"

Yang Bi thought for a moment and said, "Chen Shi, you are right. The Thirteen Families do have great selfish motives. After the Thirteen Families take advantage of the natural disaster to eliminate Despair Slope, they will definitely fall into internal strife for power and the position of the True King. But before that, I will unite the Thirteen Families."

He stood up and looked at Nannan playing with the black pot, smiling: "Chen Shi, I will convince the Thirteenth Family not to bother you anymore, and let the Qingtian Master stay on this loess slope and be a carefree little girl quietly. Chen Shi, stop interfering in the affairs of the underworld."

He looked around and said with a smile, "This place is great, with mountains and water, the True King's Tomb, and next to it is the former imperial capital. When the change in the sky comes, Xiniu New Island will be dark forever. I will coordinate the power of the Thirteen Families to fight against Despair Slope! In the future, if my Thirteen Families win, I will come to root out the traitors here and kill them all."

From the darkness came the uneasy roar of the Huodou, which sounded threatening.

Yang Bi didn't care and walked down the slope.

Chen Shi's voice came from behind him: "Shao Hu, what if the Thirteenth Family is defeated?"

Yang Bi stopped, turned around and smiled at him.

"If the Thirteenth Family is defeated, don't we still have you?"

Chen Shi was stunned.

Yang Bi came to the foot of the loess slope, got into the carriage, and said with a smile: "But I will win! There will never be a second possibility! In the future, I will come to the loess slope again to send you rebels on your way."

Chen Tang looked at him and said calmly, "I'm behind you."

Yang Bi smiled and said, "But you don't have to do anything to me now, right?"

Chen Tang thought about it and nodded slightly.

Three blue birds pulled the colorful cloud chariot into the sky and flapped their wings away.

Chen Shi watched the carriage go away. At this time, Chen Tang's voice came: "This Yang Bi is extremely dangerous. Although he is young, he is very powerful."

Chen Shi asked, "How high is it?"

Chen Tang came to the top of the slope carrying a wooden box and said, "I see that his soul and body are closely integrated. He should be about to cultivate to the fusion stage."

Chen Shi was moved, Yang Bi looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, but his cultivation was so high!
"Is the Hill of Despair really that powerful? It would take the Thirteen Aristocratic Families more than 6,000 years of accumulation and the gathering of incense from all over the world before they dare to challenge the Hill of Despair."

He looked in the direction where Yang Bi left and murmured, "If Despair Hill is so powerful that it makes the True King despair, do the current Thirteen Families really have the power to compete with it?"

Chen Tang said: "The ancestors of the Thirteen Families were powerful men in the True King Era. As the Prime Minister, I think they were the most powerful men of their time. In their era, they should have been able to cultivate to the Ascension Realm. Can a being in the Ascension Realm live to this day?" Chen Shi was shocked when he heard this.

He is in the Spirit Transformation Realm and his current life span is two thousand years.

Can a being who reached the Ascended Realm during the True King Era survive to this day?

"What on earth did the True King encounter when he went to the Slope of Despair? Why did his personality change drastically after he came back? Why did he become cowardly and voluntarily reduce the two realms of transcending tribulation and ascending to heaven?"

Chen Shi murmured, "There is also the True King's canonization of immortality and the four disasters. Yang Bi didn't explain these things clearly. And the thirteen noble families calculated that the future will be a night without day. Will it really happen?"

He looked at the full moon in the sky. The moonlight was bright and he could vaguely see the outline of the true God from outer space.

"Is the fall of the True King era really related to the True Gods? When there is no day in the eternal night, will the power of the True Gods really be exhausted? What will happen when there is no day in the eternal night?"

A crucial point suddenly occurred to him.

"It's night without day, but the two suns of the True God have closed their eyes. What if the vertical eye between the eyebrows of the True God also closes? What will happen?"

This possibility is not impossible!
Yang Bi rode on the colorful cloud chariot and entered the upper world.

The vastness of this upper world has far exceeded that of Xiniu Xinzhou. Thousand-foot-tall spirits sit in this upper world. Some spirits as majestic as gods are reinforcing this upper world. They can move the galaxy with a wave of their hands, or pull up mountains, draw rivers, and step out lakes.

The world above is changing shape in their hands.

If ordinary people from the outside world saw this, they would find it incredible, but here, it is very common.

The colorful cloud chariot traveled to a jade-like world, and came to a place with misty clouds. Yang Bi got off the car, but saw Ganoderma lucidum and fairy grass everywhere in this world. It was peaceful and ethereal, like a fairyland.

In the clouds here, there sit tall and mighty men and women, with their backs against the void.

Yang Bi greeted them and kowtowed, saying, "Younger generation Yang Bi, I pay my respects to all the elders."

These tall and strong men, women, old and young are the ancestors of the thirteen families, thirteen people in total.

Their aura is deep and majestic, in harmony with the great principles of heaven and earth, and there is incredible power in their movements and stillness.

They are like immortals, with unfathomable strength.

"Get up." said an old man.

Yang Bi stood up and bowed.

The old man was a cabinet minister of the Yang family during the True King era. His name was Yang Shizong, and he was the ancestor of the Yang family. He asked, "Yang Bi, how did your trip turn out?"

Yang Bi said, "The Ten Kings of Hell are a foregone conclusion. I also had a brief confrontation with a descendant of Despair Hill, forcing him to retreat. As for the boy scholar, I have stabilized him, and he will not be our enemy for a while."

Yang Shizong smiled and said, "Good. You did a great job."

Yang Bi looked at the ground, not looking away, and did not make eye contact with the ancestor of the Thirteenth Family.

These thirteen ancestors were tall and strong, their cultivation was boundless and incredible, but their bodies looked very strange. It was unknown whether thick strips of flesh and blood grew from them or from the void, one end of which was rooted in the void and the other end was rooted in their bodies!
These pieces of flesh have no skin, only red strips of flesh, like skinned arms or thighs, but no joints can be seen. Occasionally, the flesh can be seen bulging, as if something is swimming under the flesh and blood, entering the bodies of our ancestors from the void!
They also exuded a strong evil aura, so strong that it made people uncomfortable.

Yang Shizong's voice rumbled and shook: "This time the natural disaster has changed, we must end it in one fell swoop and completely solve the problem of Despair Slope!"

At night, the white-robed fairy returned to Chen Shi’s small temple, lay down on the shrine and fell asleep. Chen Shi also returned home to sleep.

In the middle of the night, Chen Shi woke up with a start. He lifted the quilt and saw the fairy in white curled up beside him, sleeping. It seemed that she was awakened by him lifting the quilt. The woman opened her two dark eyes and blinked at him.

Chen Shi put down the quilt and fell asleep.

The next morning, the fairy in white ran out of the bed at some point. When Chen Shi was about to get out of bed, he was shocked to find his blood boiling and his lower abdomen feeling warm.

Only then did he realize that some parts of his body had changed. He stood tall and unwilling to fall down. He hurriedly calmed himself down, and it took a long time for him to return to normal.

This change happened to him several times during the day, causing him great distress.

Chen Shi was worried about the changes in his body and had something on his mind. His mother Wu Qingyu noticed that he was always absent-minded, so she said to Chen Tang, "Your son has something on his mind and has been frowning these days. Go ask him."

Chen Tang was surprised and asked, "What could be on his mind?"

However, he still came to ask.

Chen Shi's face flushed, and he hesitated for a long time before he told him about the changes in his body that morning.

Chen Tang suddenly realized and said with a smile: "You have grown up and can get married."

Chen Shi was surprised and delighted: "Really? Last year, grandpa said I was still young."

"Of course it is."

Chen Shi was overjoyed and said to Hei Guo, "Hei Guo, I can get married now! Good brother, lend me some blood so I can get some peach blossom charms!"

Heiguo was very envious.

Chen Tang warned him not to use the peach blossom charm recklessly and not to sleep in the same bed with the woman in white at night. Then he went back and told Wu Qingyu, "He has grown up and is troubled by the changes in his body. I have told him how to deal with it. I think that although the woman in white has lost her memory, she is very dependent on Xiao Shi. They may be able to get married."

Wu Qingyu shook her head and said, "I think she is much older than Xiaoshi, so it's not quite suitable."

Chen Tang didn't care: "We are both monks, how much older can they be?"
