Honghuang: Eat a Hunyuan Daluo

Chapter 167 Final Layout before the Plan
"Brother."

"Nuwa? How do you have time to come to my Taoist temple?" Fuxi's good corpse asked after stopping practicing.

"Brother, are you still unwilling to give up?"

"It's not that I don't want to, but that I can't."

"Why not?"

Fuxi didn't say anything, just looked at Nuwa quietly.

Nuwa sighed when she saw this. She naturally understood her brother's intentions.

"That's all! Brother, I am going to do something big with fellow Daoist Bai Jing and fellow Daoist Tong Tian, so please join us! If this is accomplished, you will have another chance. By then, you will at least be able to achieve a sub-saint status like the Queen Mother of the West, and you may even be able to accomplish the feat that the Dragon Clan and Emperor Jun failed to accomplish, and become a saint through luck."

After hearing what Nuwa said, Fuxi's good corpse did not agree immediately, but said directly: "Nuwa, if you want to use your fortune to exchange for my new life, then it is not necessary."

"Don't worry, brother. I know what I am doing."

On the other hand, after more than half a Yuanhui, Kong Xuan left Yingzhou Fairy Island and came to Honghuang on the orders of his master.

Kong Xuan had two purposes for leaving the island this time. The first was to deliver a letter to Wuzhuang Temple, and the second was to go to the underworld to meet Niangniang Pingxin.

This Empress Pingxin is similar to Bai Jing's clone in the Yingzhou Fairy Island. She was created by Houtu when she was in seclusion and merged with the earth. She used the Great Dao of Reincarnation as her flesh and blood, and the remaining traces of herself in the six reincarnations as her soul. All in all, this incarnation of Empress Pingxin has only appeared for ten thousand years.

In the underworld, Empress Pingxin can exert power comparable to that of a saint by using the Six Paths of Reincarnation, but she cannot do so without the underworld.

Kong Xuan first went to Wuzhuang Temple, met Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun, and handed the jade slips prepared by Bai Jing to the two.

Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun took the jade slip and quickly sensed the information in it.

After a moment, Zhen Yuanzi said, "I already know what Daoist Fellow Bai Jing said. I will cooperate when the time is right."

"Thank you, Immortal Zhenyuan." Kong Xuan bowed and gave a great salute to Zhenyuanzi.

Zhen Yuanzi helped Kong Xuan up and said, "No need to thank me. What Daoist Fellow Bai Jing said is also good for us. If this happens, I won't have to activate this Earth Book Formation all the time."

Then Zhen Yuanzi asked about some specific details of the matter, Kong Xuan responded one by one, and Zhen Yuanzi nodded with satisfaction.

After finishing the conversation, Hong Yun took over and asked with interest: "My dear nephew, the jade slip said that your master accepted three disciples who were all transformed from auspicious clouds like me, and taught them my Hong Yun escape technique. How do these three disciples compare to you?"

"Fifth Junior Sister and Little Junior Sister are not as good as me, but Fourth Junior Sister is more talented than me."

Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi were both surprised when they heard this.

His talent is higher than Kong Xuan's? What kind of amazing talent is this?
You must know that Kong Xuan is the divine fetus conceived by the interaction of Yuan Feng and the Five Elements, and he is also the first peacock between heaven and earth. If he had not been dragged down by the karma of the Phoenix clan, he would have reached the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal, or even the early stage of Daluo Golden Immortal as soon as he transformed. He is definitely the most top-notch innate divine.

Take Yunxiao's transformation into auspicious clouds as an example. She cannot compare to Kong Xuan's even if she flatters him. But Kong Xuan said that her talent is better than his. Doesn't this mean that Yunxiao's comprehension is much stronger than Kong Xuan's?

Now Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi both became very interested in Yunxiao.

Especially Hongyun, this is simply his perfect disciple! If he didn't dare to leave Wuzhuang Temple at this time, he would have to go to Yingzhou Fairy Island to make a scene with Bai Jing and ask Yunxiao to come over.

As Hongyun's good friend, Zhen Yuanzi naturally saw Hongyun's thoughts. He smiled and said, "Daoist Hongyun, if you are really interested in Yunxiao, you might as well give her something to get closer to her."

"Send something? What? Ginseng fruit?"

Zhen Yuanzi's face darkened. Wasn't the ginseng fruit tree his companion spirit plant? Why did Hong Yun mean that the ginseng fruit tree was the same as his?
"I'm talking about your own stuff!"

"My own things? But I have nothing!" Hongyun said with a confused look on his face.

"You have! Hongyun, you killed the two corpses of good and evil before, and later you changed to practice the Four Symbols Method to wipe out the two corpses of good and evil. Although the two corpses of good and evil were wiped out by you, the Dao rhyme and a wisp of soul that were separated at that time are not so easy to take back.

You can give the Dao rhyme and soul of one of the good and evil corpses to Kong Xuan and let him take it back to Yun Xiao. If Yun Xiao can comprehend something from your Dao rhyme and soul, wouldn't he be considered half of your successor?"

Hongyun's eyes lit up when he heard this. This is a good idea!
As soon as he thought about it, the two magical weapons he had used to chop corpses appeared in his hands.

These two items are top-grade innate spiritual treasures, which Hongyun obtained from the Treasure Fen Cliff.

Hong Yun hesitated for a moment and handed both magic treasures to Kong Xuan, then said, "My dear nephew, this cloak is called the Shenxiu Yin-Yang Cloak. It is formed by the yin and yang energies that seize the creation of heaven and earth. It has thirty-six innate restrictions. It is the magic treasure that I once entrusted to Shan Shi. I will give it to you as a gift to thank you for your help in running errands.

As for the Tao rhyme and a wisp of soul in this treasure, I ask you to put it into the six realms of reincarnation when you go to the underworld next time.

As for this long sword, the Glazed Jade Sword, it is the spiritual treasure that I entrusted to the evil corpse. My dear nephew, please help me give it to Yunxiao. Whether you can gain some insights from it depends on our fate."

Kong Xuan took the two magical treasures and bowed in response.

After coming out of Wuzhuang Temple, Kong Xuan went straight to the earth.

A few days later, Kong Xuan arrived at the earthly realm. As soon as he stepped into the earthly realm, his first feeling was that this world was less oppressive than the prehistoric world.

"Is this the world where Heaven cannot interfere? It's really magical." Kong Xuan thought to himself.

Afterwards, Kong Xuan sped up his flight and soon arrived at the gates of hell.

Kong Xuan looked at the souls in the ancient world rushing into the underworld, feeling infinite emotion in his heart.

If we calculate the time, the earth has only been opened up for tens of thousands of years. How can the souls that have accumulated for countless years in the prehistoric times be sent to reincarnation in just tens of thousands of years?
These souls are desperately rushing into the underworld, wanting to enter reincarnation as soon as possible and start their next life.

The Yincha who maintain order will naturally not ignore this situation.

“Pah, pah, pah~” The ghost messengers transformed by the witch tribe had serious faces and kept whipping the unruly souls with whips in their hands, roaring angrily: “Be quiet, all of you! Those who want to reincarnate, get in line! If you squeeze in again, I’ll whip you to death!”

No matter how much they scolded, there were always some troublemakers who refused to listen. These evil people were not polite and would just pick up the whip in their hands and start beating them.

Kong Xuan, who was standing by, noticed that the whip in the Yinchai's hand seemed to contain the power to restrain a trace of reincarnation, and was extremely restraining on the souls. Every time the whip was lashed out, many undead souls wailed in pain, and their bodies became a little ethereal.

However, there are too many souls here, and some of them had good cultivation in their previous lives. Many of them died in the previous catastrophes in the prehistoric times. They originally carried tremendous resentment, and each of them was ferocious and turned a blind eye to the whip in the hands of the Yinchai.

"Get out of here! If people with your level of cultivation had dared to behave insolently in front of me when I was alive, I would have suppressed them with a flip of my hand!" At this time, among the souls that were pushing forward, a soul emitting blood all over its body directly unleashed its aura, scaring the surrounding wandering ghosts so much that they fled in all directions.

There was also a hint of surprise in Kong Xuan's eyes, because this soul was actually the Daluo True Spirit, which meant that he was a Daluo Golden Immortal in his lifetime!

The souls around, sensing this terrifying aura, also cried out in surprise.

"Will the Golden Immortal also go to the underworld after his death?" Kong Xuan thought to himself.

Logically speaking, after achieving the Golden Immortal of Great Luo, the Tao Fruit will last forever. Although this person has fallen and only a true spirit remains, he has the Tao Fruit of Great Luo in him, and even the Taiyi Golden Immortal cannot do anything to him. He only needs to slowly nurture himself in the long river of time and there will be a time for him to be resurrected. Why would he come to the underworld to reincarnate and cultivate again?
When the Great Luo True Spirit saw that his aura intimidated all spirits, the blood-stained soul showed a bit of pride on his face, and came lightly to the Ghost Gate, ready to enter the underworld.

"Slow down!" At this moment, a ghost messenger suddenly raised his hand to stop him.

"You dare to stop me?" The Daluo Zhenling, whose body was emitting blood light, looked at the Yin messenger in front of him, whose cultivation level was only at the Golden Immortal realm, with a look of condescension in his eyes.

"The underworld is the destination of all living beings. In the face of reincarnation, all beings are equal and you will not be allowed to be presumptuous. No matter if you were a Daluo Jinxian or an uncultivated ghost in your previous life, if you want to live out your next life, please line up at the back!"

"You are looking for death!" After saying this, the Daluo True Spirit burst out with a terrifying pressure and pressed directly towards the Yin Cha.

The Yinchai felt the pressure emanating from the soul in front of him, and his expression changed slightly, but thinking of his duty, he did not retreat a single step.

Seeing this, the Yinchai beside him showed admiration in his eyes: "Brother, you are very good. Although you are not a member of my Wu clan, your integrity is no worse than that of my Wu clan members!"

After saying this, the man from the Wu clan who was transformed into a ghost stepped forward and blocked some of the pressure for his colleague.

Seeing this, the Great Luo True Spirit snorted coldly: "Humph! You two little golden immortals dare to stop me! Get out! Or you will die!"

After he finished speaking, the blood around Daluo Zhenling suddenly turned scarlet, his eyes became malicious, and his tone became fierce.

When he was alive, he was a top-notch innate saint. As soon as he transformed, he was in the late Taiyi Golden Immortal. However, not long after he cultivated to the Daluo Golden Immortal, he died because of the Longhan Tribulation. Only a wisp of true spirit was left. He already had a huge amount of resentment in his heart. He didn't force his way through just now because he was trying his best to suppress the resentment in his heart.

Seeing that two little Golden Immortals dared to stop him, the murderous intent in his heart could no longer be suppressed. The blood-red light enveloped the Ghost Gate, and the pressure from the Daluo Golden Immortal made many souls around him scream.

Kong Xuan wanted to stop it when he saw this, but just when the Daluo True Spirit was about to slap the Yin Cha in front of him away, a cold snort came from the depths of the underworld.

The next second, all the souls, vengeful spirits, and ghosts in front of the gate of hell felt their bodies suddenly stiffen and they stood there unable to move.

Even Kong Xuan, whose cultivation level was in the late Daluo Golden Immortal stage, was the same.

"The peak of quasi-saint? No, that's not right. This aura is even stronger than that of a quasi-saint. The Tao rhyme all over his body is perfect. He is only one step away from becoming a saint! Is it Empress Pingxin?" Kong Xuan thought to himself.

Just as Kong Xuan was wondering who the visitor was, an extremely huge hand reached out from the depths of the underworld, passed through the gates of hell, and grasped it in the palm of its hand in front of the horrified gaze of the Daluo True Spirit.

The bloody light that enveloped the gates of hell suddenly disappeared.

"Senior, spare my life! I will never dare to barge in again!" The Daluo True Spirit, who had just been showing off his might, now begged for mercy with a trembling voice. He struggled hard, trying to escape the control of the huge hand, but the next moment, the huge hand just gently squeezed.

"Bang!" A terrifying force of qi and blood burst out, and under Kong Xuan's surprised gaze, the Daluo True Spirit shattered like a bubble, and his Daluo Dao Fruit also disappeared from the world, leaving no trace.

In other words, there is no possibility of resurrection for this person.

"The Daluo Dao Fruit can be wiped out with just one casual strike. The one who did it must be Empress Pingxin!" Kong Xuan thought to himself.

However, Kong Xuan was slapped in the face the next second, because a rough male voice came from the depths of the Netherworld: "In the Netherworld, no trouble is allowed! Those who disobey will die!"

This extremely majestic voice exploded like thunder from the sky, spreading throughout the entire Nine Netherworld, causing all the souls in front of the gates of hell to tremble in fear.

These souls became obedient in an instant. Even the Great Luo True Spirit was crushed to pieces by someone, so what could they count for?
The originally chaotic Ghost Gate immediately became silent. Countless souls spontaneously lined up in long queues, suppressing their resentment back in their stomachs, and dared not make any more noise.

Kong Xuan also confirmed the identity of the person who had made the move. There was no doubt that the person with such surging blood and energy was from the Wu clan, and this person was only one step away from becoming a saint. In the underworld at this time, there was only one person who met this condition, and that was the Lord of Hell, Wu Rushou, the ancestor of gold.

After understanding the man's identity, Kong Xuan wanted to go up and pay his respects, so he immediately walked forward.

The souls who were just frightened began to discuss quietly when they saw that someone dared to cut in line:
"Who is this guy? How dare he be so bold! Isn't he afraid of being crushed to death?"

"I'm also surprised that he dared not to queue up!"

"Maybe he is a quasi-saint!"

"You don't know there are two saints in the underworld, do you?"

A group of souls talked and watched Kong Xuan directly cross the team and come in front of Yinchai.

The ghost looked at the creature in front of him in surprise, with a bit of suspicion in his eyes. Is there really a soul that is not afraid of completely dissipating between heaven and earth?
But soon, Yinchai discovered that he did not sense any cold aura from Kong Xuan, which meant that Kong Xuan was not an undead ghost but a living being.

Yinchai's expression immediately turned serious: "This is the land of reincarnation, no living creatures allowed!"

Kong Xuan smiled faintly upon hearing this, and his aura burst out, then he said, "Please inform that I, the Phoenix Clan's eldest disciple under Saint Bai Jing of Yingzhou Fairy Island, Kong Xuan, would like to see Rushou Ancestral Witch, Lady Pingxin."

When the ghost heard Kong Xuan introduce himself, his expression suddenly changed and he looked surprised. When he was about to turn around and go into the underworld to report, the gates of hell opened and a tall figure walked out from the depths of the underworld.

This man clearly had the appearance of a congenital Taoist body, but in Kong Xuan's eyes he was as majestic as the Buzhou Mountain that he saw in his childhood.

When the ghost messengers guarding the Ghost Gate saw this figure, they all showed awe on their faces and bowed down to worship him.

"I have met the ancestor witch Rushou."

When the many souls gathered in line in front of the Ghost Gate heard that the person coming was the Ancestral Witch Rushou, they all knelt down and paid their respects to the tall figure.

As we all know, the most tragic catastrophe since the birth of the prehistoric world was the catastrophe of wizards and demons.

From the beginning to the end, the Witch Clan has been suppressing the other protagonist of this catastrophe, the Demon Clan. The reason why the Witch Clan can be so powerful is ultimately because of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

Among the twelve ancestor witches today, the eldest brother Dijiang has already become a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, and the younger sister Houtu has even opened up the six paths of reincarnation, and both her physical body and soul have become Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, and she is also the lord of the earth and the lord of the underworld.

The remaining ancestor witches, except for Gonggong, who was seriously injured by the Heavenly Dao once, it is said that his cultivation is still in the late stage of Hunyuan Golden Immortal. The other 9 ancestor witches have already reached the peak of Hunyuan Golden Immortal.

In particular, the ancestor witch Rushou, who was appointed as the Lord of Hell by the Queen Mother Hou Tu, was only one step away from becoming a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian.

Facing such an existence, it is a great honor to be able to kowtow once.

After seeing the Ancestral Shaman Rushou, Kong Xuan also bowed and saluted: "I am the eldest disciple of Saint Bai Jing from Yingzhou Fairy Island. I am the Phoenix Clan Kong Xuan and I greet the Ancestral Shaman Rushou."

"Hahaha! No need to be so polite, no need to be so polite! Your master is a close friend of our Twelve Ancestral Witches. You are his disciple, which makes you our nephew. Why should you be so polite?" After saying that, Rushou helped Kong Xuan up.

"Kong Xuan, do you have something to do in the underworld?" Rushou asked.

"I am here to see Lady Pingxin on the orders of my master."

"Meet my little sister! Then come with me!" After saying that, Rushou took the lead and led Kong Xuan to the depths of the underworld.

The two crossed the gates of hell and entered the depths of the underworld.

As soon as he entered the underworld, Kong Xuan looked around curiously. He had heard his master talk about the underworld a long time ago, but had never seen it. Today was a rare opportunity to broaden his horizons.

Kong Xuan followed the ancestor witch Rushou for a long time, and then he found that the underworld at this time seemed to be different from the underworld he had heard from his master.

According to Master, the underworld should have eighteen levels of hell, with a complete order, and rewards and punishments for the good and evil souls.

But in the underworld today, countless imprisoned souls can be seen everywhere.

Some of these souls are protected by their merits and are immune to evil spirits; some are plagued by karma and have hungry and miserable looks; some are filled with resentment and have angry faces; and some are even worse, with evil spirits all over their bodies and appear like madmen.

"Let us out!"

"Woooaa! I'm here for reincarnation, why did you lock me up, woooooo!"

"Why am I still imprisoned by the witch tribe after my death!"

"Kill! Kill all of you witches! His Majesty Di Jun is the only Heavenly Emperor in the prehistoric world!"

These crazy souls kept emitting sharp shouts and frantically attacked the barrier that imprisoned them.

The barrier of the underworld is obviously not to be trifled with. Whenever a soul attacks the barrier, a burst of golden light will burst out from the barrier and bounce them back. However, these ghosts do not give up and charge again and again, only to be bounced back continuously.

"Excuse me, nephew. Now that the cycle of reincarnation has just been established, too many ghosts have poured in all at once. The underworld is seriously short of manpower, so we have to temporarily lock up the souls of those who have been dead for too long or have fallen in the catastrophe. We will deal with them after we have dealt with the souls of the recently deceased."

"Ancestral Witch Rushou, there is one thing I don't understand."

"My dear nephew, you can talk as you please." The ancestor witch Rushou said nonchalantly.

"Since these evil spirits are all here for reincarnation, why not let them enter reincarnation early, so as to reduce the pressure on the underworld."

Facing Kong Xuan's question, the ancestor witch Rushou said helplessly: "I also want to throw them into the reincarnation, but my younger sister has always insisted that good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be punished with evil.

She said: "Let's put aside those souls that have merits. As for those who killed countless people in their lifetime, are entangled in karma, and have huge resentments, if we allow these evil spirits to reincarnate without any punishment, there will be no fairness in the world. These guys will definitely become more and more evil and cause huge evil deeds in the prehistoric world."

Kong Xuan was filled with admiration when he heard this. Is this the great Hou Tu? No wonder even the master respected Hou Tu so much.

Then the two of them crossed the Yellow Spring, went all the way down, and finally stopped in front of a palace.

As soon as Kong Xuan looked up, he saw three big words written on the palace - Pangu Palace.

In front of Pangu Temple, a beautiful woman in a golden dress leaned gracefully on a huge rock with the words "Three Lives" inscribed on it, with her feet immersed in the Yellow Spring water. She closed her eyes slightly and hummed an unknown song, as if she was enjoying this rare comfort.

"My little sister is just ahead, come over!"

"Thank you, Ancestor Witch." After saying that, Kong Xuan quickly stepped forward.

As if sensing Kong Xuan's arrival, the woman opened her eyes, glanced at him, then smiled slightly and said in a soft voice: "You are Daoist Fellow Bai Jing's disciple, right? Welcome to the underworld."

The moment Kong Xuan and Empress Pingxin looked at each other, their hearts were shaken.

Before meeting Niangniang Pingxin, Kong Xuan had been curious about what this female saint, who was highly respected by his master and had great love for all living beings in the prehistoric world, would look like.

After meeting Empress Pingxin, what impressed Kong Xuan the most was her eyes.

It was hard to imagine that in these eyes, Kong Xuan actually saw the innocence of a young girl, the kindness of a mother, and the inviolable majesty of a saint.

Kong Xuan was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly felt rude, and quickly bowed and saluted: "I am Kong Xuan of the Phoenix Clan, the eldest disciple of Saint Bai Jing of Yingzhou Fairy Island, and I greet Empress Pingxin!"

"Is Fellow Daoist Bai Jing okay?" Empress Pingxin asked in a cheerful tone.

"Master is very good."

"Has he made any breakthrough in his cultivation?"

"This Kong Xuan doesn't know that the master is a saint, and Kong Xuan is just a Daluo. How can he see through a saint?"

Upon hearing this, Empress Pingxin pouted her lips, and her words were a little unhappy, like a little girl throwing a tantrum: "It's you who can't see through the saint! It's a pity that my incarnation can't leave the underworld, and my original body is in seclusion, otherwise I would like to discuss Taoism with Taoist Bai Jing after a long absence."

Seeing this, the ancestor witch Rushou cleared her throat and said, "Little sister, you are now the master of the underworld, and you are in front of the younger generation, so be dignified!"

Empress Pingxin sighed helplessly, muttered softly, "What a trouble!", and then sat upright, looking very serious.
