Hybrid Spiritual Plant Cultivation

Chapter 366 River Styx
After the people from the four sects left, Zhao Kongxuan and Xiao Qian looked at each other and smiled.

The Sunset Dog and the Hell Dog had actually arrived a long time ago.

However, for today's performance, he made another appearance on stage. This only served to enhance the persuasive effect, but he had to do the whole show.

"I don't know how much help we can get from the four sects." Xiao Qian said.

"One more person means one more strength."

Zhao Kongxuan said.

This decision was made after talking with Chen Jing.

It’s not easy to work hard outside. Wouldn’t it be easier if you call all your fellow villagers together to form a group?

Since we are trying to become one of the representative sects of the Southeastern faction, in addition to having the required strength, the support of our younger brothers is also very important.

Great forces are never supported by a single strong person; each of them has strong wings.

The other end.

The four small sects in the southeast took the message conveyed by the Qingnang Sect back for discussion and received support from both sides.

Anyone with a bit of ambition will not refuse the opportunity to expand outward, but they just need to consider how much to invest.

The four small clans were also afraid of being cheated. After all, the pioneering team must bring all the members with them, and they can start working immediately after arriving at the destination. If something unexpected happens, the loss will be considerable.

At this time, the Qingnang Sect's previous good reputation came into play. After all, it was easier to make good friends and accumulate a good reputation when they started out with farming, alchemy and medical skills.

After some consideration, the four small clans all made a huge bet at the same time.

Each family sent out three powerful fifth-realm dragon-transforming warriors, in addition to more than twenty fourth-realm cultivators who were proficient in various ways, as well as true descendants, third-realm disciples, etc., totaling more than a hundred people.

In addition, various magical instruments and treasures, as well as Taoist books and inheritances should also be brought along.

This force is not small. In the Southern Wilderness, it is enough to establish a force at the level of the Six Sects.

When Zhao Kongxuan saw that the four small sects sent out such a large vanguard force, he could not help but be extremely surprised.

The team is growing!

They quickly completed the detailed negotiations, boarded the flying boat sent by Chen Jing, and set off for the territory allocated to Chen Jing.

——The ancient domain of burning fire.

……

While the eldest senior brother and others were still on the road, Chen Jing had already arrived at the Burning Fire Ancient Domain.

He and Jiu Niang inspected the area together.

First, there is the legendary River Styx.

The Styx itself has the ability to anchor the Chaos Sea, which is equivalent to a natural waterway. This is one of the reasons why civilizations near the Styx are more likely to rise.

Chen Jingxing rushed to the vicinity of the Styx, but saw only a vast and turbid water, which was boundless and filled with countless resentments.

As a fearless man, he was frightened by the resentment in the Styx and took several steps back.

"What the hell!?"

Chen Jing looked at the countless distorted faces and outstretched arms in the Styx, and his scalp tingled.

Can the civilization near this thing develop with the help of this thing instead of being destroyed by it?
Jiu Niang said dimly, "Since the collapse of the Divine Dynasty, the Styx has been completely polluted and is filled with wronged souls and evil spirits."

She took out the bell and shook it gently, and the crying souls actually showed confusion and relief and stopped roaring.

"Come on, I'll take you in to have a look." Jiu Niang seemed to be interested. She urged the flying boat and rushed into the Styx with Chen Jing, whose face was pale.

Chen Jing was shocked and grabbed Jiu Niang's arm: "Don't mess with me!"

"If you don't do anything wrong, what are you afraid of?"

"Who said I don't do bad things?"

Is it too late to repent to the teacher who made mistakes?
Chen Jing just won't die, not that he won't feel pain. As an ordinary person, he will still be scared when he looks at the picture of hell.

"Hahahaha." Jiu Niang was overjoyed. "Where was I just talking about? Yes, before the collapse of the Divine Dynasty, there weren't actually so many resentful souls in the Styx."

She talked about the River Styx on her own.

The Styx is not real river water, but spiritual power. All the negative spiritual power in the heavens and worlds will naturally fall down after it is generated.

The reason why the souls of humans and all living things fall is because they are contaminated by negative spiritual energy, but not all souls will fall.

In fact, if a person dies normally and the environment where he dies is not hellish, then the soul will not actually fall.

Not only will it not fall downwards, it will even fly upwards to the thirty-third heaven.

There have always been two different opinions among the Chinese people. One is that the dead are "spirits in heaven", while the other is that how can a dead person have the face to see anyone after he or she has gone to heaven.

Perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps it was for some other reason, but in short, people have long realized that the soul has two destinations, and have constructed a theory of good and evil, going to heaven and hell.

In fact, this has nothing to do with whether you have done good deeds or not. It is simply the attributes of spiritual power that determine the direction of its flow.

But it is not completely irrelevant. If you do good deeds and accumulate merits, it will be easy to ascend to heaven.

Because the spiritual attribute of merit tends to be towards pure and spiritual energy, when merit flows naturally, doesn't it also bring the soul up with it?

From this we can also understand that even if a person has done all kinds of bad things and has lost his conscience, as long as he turns over a new leaf at the last moment, washes away the negative emotions and spiritual energy that naturally emanates from his heart, and accumulates a little bit of merit, he can go to heaven after death.

In Buddhism, this is called putting down the butcher knife and becoming a Buddha instantly. It is really true!

In the immortal system, there is actually a similar understanding, which is called - Tao heart is enlightened.

As long as you do bad things without any negative emotions, you don't have to worry about falling into the underworld after death because of the negative spiritual energy you emit.

Among the Chinese people, rituals such as salvation are also based on this principle. They use pure and spiritual power to cleanse the souls that have not yet dissipated, and then wrap them with a layer of "pure and spiritual energy" to send them away.

As for those who have transformed into vengeful spirits and evil ghosts, it is not so easy to cleanse them, and they are usually directly dispersed.

Chen Jing looked at Jiu Niang's bell and said, "Your bell can relieve the pain of resentful souls. Is it also a similar magic weapon for purifying spiritual energy?"

"This bell is called the Rebirth Bell. When you ring it, it can create endless illusions for the soul. All of them are dreams of great joy and happiness. After living a good life in the illusion, the soul will naturally let go of its pain and pass away peacefully."

The bronze bell in Jiu Niang's hand swung lightly, releasing layers of illusions that stunned countless souls and made them intoxicated.

Soul Anesthetist!
She continued, "Do you know what the pollution of the Styx represents?"

"what?"

She didn't keep the secret and said directly: "The Styx is not the river of dead souls. Dead souls are just one kind of negative spiritual power, which is brought along by the way... The Styx is the same as the Milky Way in the thirty-three heavens and the Ancestral River in Shenzhou. It is the source of all spiritual power. The Styx is to the lower world what the celestial phenomena and terrain are to the realm."

"It is precisely because of the pollution of the Styx that the practitioners in the lower realms are increasingly leaning towards the evil ways, and are prone to going astray."

After hearing this, Chen Jing immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

He had always thought that the reason why the lower world would "kill your whole family" or "annihilate your whole clan" was because it was not developed enough. It seemed that underdevelopment was only one of the reasons.

"How should the River Styx be managed?" Chen Jing asked.

"If I knew, I would be a saint."

Jiu Niang rolled her eyes.

She took a big gulp of wine and said, "All the forces near the Styx have tried to clean up the Styx, but they don't have any good methods. They just kill people."

Killing means killing the resentful soul.

The hometown of the three dogs is affected by a tributary of the River Styx, and powerful vengeful spirits and evil ghosts often come out to cause destruction.

Therefore, killing the resentful souls is the most direct method.

But it is also the least effective solution.

"Why are there so many resentful souls polluting the Styx after the collapse of the Divine Dynasty?" Chen Jing tried to figure out the reasons behind everything.

"The Divine Dynasty... was too powerful. It ruled over countless lives, billions and billions. Once it collapsed, billions of lives were killed or injured, affecting the entire universe. The resentful souls in the entire Styx have not been dispersed to this day."

Jiu Niang snorted and said, "The stronger the person, the bigger the trouble they make. The Divine Dynasty is gone, but the disasters left behind are endless. The gods in the thirty-three heavens were almost killed or injured because of the Divine Dynasty.
In the mainland of Shenzhou, the abyss of heaven has torn Shenzhou into pieces, making it difficult to connect. Originally, Shenzhou had nine states, but now it has been cut into pieces, with more than thirty states.
In the lower world, the Styx was blocked by endless resentful souls. Those resentful souls fought and merged in the Styx like raising poisonous insects, forming the 'Nine Nethers', a holy land-level force that hated all living things and intended to exterminate them..."

After hearing what she said, Chen Jing realized that the Divine Dynasty had indeed brought an enormous impact on the heavens.

You know, it has been such a long time, and the language and writing of the Shenzhou people are still the common writing in all the heavens and worlds.

Chen Jing sighed for a moment and continued to ask: "Normally speaking, where do the resentful souls in the Styx go?"

She replied, "Of the eighteen levels of hell, the farthest place a living being can go is the ninth level of the lower world. The tenth level is the Land of Oblivion. When a resentful soul enters the Land of Oblivion, all its memories and existence will be washed away, and it will turn into pure spiritual power."

"I left the golden cicada in Wangxiang and haven't brought it back yet..." Chen Jing suddenly thought of this.

I hope the Golden Cicada is okay. It has the immortal golden nature and will not be washed away by Wang Xiang. It should be able to hold on until Mr. Chen can go and rescue it.

“But now, the resentful souls can no longer enter the Land of Oblivion.” Jiu Niang shrugged and said, “The great demons, evil gods, and Hades gods that were born from the fighting in the Styx have joined hands to block and cut off the last section of the Styx. All the resentful souls who flowed down have become one of them.”

"Clam?"

Chen Jing had never heard of this. He couldn't help but ask, "Aren't they afraid? I heard that hell originally has more than eighteen layers, and it is falling layer by layer, gradually falling into chaos."

"You have practiced for too short a time. When the world was first created, it was very close to the sky. But as the pure air continued to rise and the turbid air continued to sink, the sky and the sky became farther and farther away...

Although the hell of turbid air is decreasing in number and falling downward, the sky is also getting higher. Originally, there were thirty-three layers of heaven.

At this point, Jiu Niang sighed and said, "In the ancient immortal era, hell fell down layer by layer, so the creatures at the bottom flew up layer by layer. Generally speaking, although the creatures at the bottom were inevitably devoured, the overall situation was still not bad... Until the ancient immortal era was destroyed and the Divine Dynasty was born, everything changed."

"It's the Divine Dynasty again. What did he do this time?"

"The Divine Dynasty anchored its own layer to become the eternal zeroth layer, and also set up an extremely thick boundary barrier to prevent the creatures below the Divine State from ascending to the Divine State."

"..."

Chen Jing was a little confused for a moment. Why was this happening?

Going against the universe?
"During the reign of the Divine Dynasty, the sky gradually became higher, from more than 20 layers to the current 33 layers, and the earth became lower and lower, from more than 20 layers to the current 18 layers."

"What is Shen Chao thinking?"

"Who knows?"

The two did not continue discussing the topic of the Divine Dynasty.

It’s simply because the Divine Dynasty’s influence on the heavens and all worlds is so great that once it comes to essential things, one cannot avoid what the Divine Dynasty has done in the past.

Chen Jingze began to think about how to manage the Styx.

Now that we know where the resentful souls in the Styx come from and where they end, we can find targeted ways to deal with them.

It’s not about solving the problem of the entire Styx, but at least the problem of the Ancient Fire Domain must be solved.

"I don't need to worry too much about business development, otherwise why would I call so many helpers... Water control is more critical. It is related to the ecology of the entire underworld and the difficulty of future development. It is worth studying."

Next, Chen Jing created a fifty-kilometer floating island in the chaos near the Styx, and named it "Chen Jing Happy Island".

He built a large modern-style villa with a swimming pool and a garden on Happy Island, and also created a lake and a magical vessel that looked like a yacht.

"It can be considered as the realization of my daydream on Earth..."

Chen Jing transformed himself, his robe turned into summer beachwear, and he held a glass of ice lemon with a straw in his hand.

I don’t care about the painting style at all.

What is rather odd is that behind the villa is a vegetable garden, as well as a farm for chickens, ducks, pigs and cattle.

Leave behind an incarnation of spiritual consciousness to stay on Happy Island to study the Styx closely.

I continued to browse the various things in the Ancient Burning Fire Domain.

There are twenty-four realms in the Ancient Domain of Burning Fire, and there are many things that can be overlooked if you only know them from intelligence. You need to see them with your own eyes to make better plans.

Chen Jing's spiritual incarnation also started research simultaneously.

"If the resentful souls of the Styx are not cleared, the spiritual power pollution index of the Burning Fire Ancient Domain will be too high, the risk of becoming a demon during cultivation will increase by 20%, the difficulty of breakthrough will increase by 45%, and the difficulty of developing the path will increase by 200%~300%."

"There is a problem with the conventional removal of resentful spirits. Who will pay for it? I guess it's not me... How can that be possible?"

"Well...but I have a fully automatic combat spirit plant that can kill enemies. After adding the law of the Mobius strip, it can also be repaired without damage."

“Let’s start with this paragraph.”

The incarnation came to the vicinity of the River Styx, and with a thought, a burly and heavy tree man suddenly crawled out of the mud.

Multiple hybrid tree people!

The branches of the tree man were like twelve pairs of flexible arms, holding Gatling guns with different attributes, and firing at the roaring souls in the Styx.

Da da da da da! !

The Styx surged, accompanied by the miserable roars of the resentful souls. Many of them unexpectedly broke away from the attraction of the Styx and rushed towards the tree man.

The tree man was rooted in the earth, as steady as a mountain, and kept firing, killing the wronged souls that came over one by one.

However, soon, a hideous bloody finger stretched out, like a collection of thousands of resentments.

Blood Finger ignored all of Doudi's attacks and pressed lightly, destroying the tree man on the spot.

Not only did the tree man die... even the Mobius law and other laws were wiped out by the terrifying blood finger of resentment.

Chen Jing opened his eyes wide: "..."

This ghost from the Styx is quite powerful.
