I was forced to cultivate immortality when I just wanted to lie down

Chapter 394 Saving Humans and Ghosts, Scriptures Formed by Heaven!
The Three Lights Divine Water is composed of the sun, moon, and stars, with each light ranking as a lower-grade Heavenly Water.

Sunlight Divine Water can reshape bones and flesh, and regenerate essence and blood; Moonlight Divine Water can nourish the spirit and strengthen the primordial spirit; Starlight Divine Water can enhance the sensitivity to the energy of heaven and earth, allowing one to cultivate and absorb energy as if climbing a ladder to heaven.

These three waters, when used separately, are all holy medicines for nourishing essence, qi, and spirit, and for healing and tonifying the body.

However, there is one drawback – the river is easily dried up.

Whether it's the divine water of sunlight, the divine water of moonlight, or the divine water of starlight, once used alone, the divine water will be completely depleted and will never be regenerated.

Only when the three waters gather together and combine to form the Three Lights Divine Water can the water be inexhaustible. Even if it is exhausted in one day, it can be reconstituted with the help of the light of the sun, moon and stars.

Xu Qing had previously obtained a drop of Sunlight Divine Water, which he used to strengthen his physical body, but the divine water had been used up and could not be restored.

Now that Xu Qing and the three waters have gathered, it has made up for the deficiency and obtained the 'Three Lights Divine Water' which has been completely transformed into a treasure.

As long as the light of heaven, earth, sun, moon, and stars endures, the divine water will never run out!

The water that Xu Qingshui used to create the flying zombie was originally 'Wu Ding Hei Shui' (无定黑水). That water could be used to create flying zombies, but it would be extremely difficult for him to create a Kui Ba (魁魰) using it.

However, with the Three Lights Divine Water, the situation changed completely.

The Three Lights Divine Water originated from the ancient Wu tribe, at which time only the Wu tribe and the Pangu tribe had the strongest physical bodies in the world.

The Three Lights Divine Water, which can comprehensively enhance essence, energy, and spirit, perfectly aligns with the cultivation philosophies of the Wu Clan and the Pangu Clan.

Zombies also cultivate their physical bodies. The origins of the four great zombie progenitors of ancient times—Ying Gou, Hou Qing, Han Ba, and Jiang Chen—all lie between these two races.

Although Xu Qing was not from the Wu Clan or the Pangu Clan, his mastery of the Undying Bone technique made him no weaker than a true member of an ancient clan.

"With this divine water, the water demon is within reach!"

Xu Qing suppressed his joy and turned to look at the other rewards.

There's not much to say about the Emperor's Profound Qi. Adding the three strands of Profound Qi he had previously obtained, Xu Qing already possessed eight parts of the Underworld Emperor's Luck!

"In the end, the Exorcist Lord still failed to fulfill the wishes of Yama, the King of Hell."

These five points of fortune are clearly a gift from Yama, the King of Hell, to the Exorcist True Lord. Perhaps Yama hopes that the Exorcist True Lord will one day inherit his throne and take over the Underworld.

But he did not expect that the way of the Exorcist Lord was to slay ghosts and exorcise demons, rather than to sit and guard the underworld.

Xu Qing had no interest in becoming the emperor of the underworld. The greatest use of this imperial profound energy for him was not to guard the underworld in the future, but to enhance the coverage of the underworld's supernatural powers.

One part of imperial aura can increase it by 10%, so eight parts will increase it by 80%.

Nearly doubled!

This means that Xu Qing's current use of the Yin Kingdom's power can cover at least 800 li of the Yin River, and in the mortal world, it can cover at least 100 li of radius.

"Eight Hundred Li Emperor"

Looking back at the Yin River Ancient Road, Xu Qing realized that the Yin River alone, the passage connecting Yin and Yang, was no less than 100,000 li long. He, the emperor of the Yin Kingdom, was truly a low-ranking official.

However, even if it was only eight hundred li, it would be enough for him.

He's more than qualified to be the lord of the City of the Unjustly Dead.

Xu Qing then looked at the ten drops of Three Lives Stone Dew that he had obtained again.

The effects of this stone dew and the legendary Meng Po soup are two extremes. If a ghost drinks the Three Lives Stone Dew, he will remember the memories of the next three lifetimes. Even if he crosses the Bridge of Helplessness and enters the cycle of reincarnation, the memories will not disappear. It is equivalent to having the wisdom of three lifetimes.

If a living person takes it, it can awaken memories of past and present lives, allowing them to rediscover themselves.

Xu Qing had no interest in this stone dew before, but now that the Exorcist True Lord has been converted to the Void by the Salvation Scripture, there is a possibility that he will be reincarnated.

If he had the chance to meet the reincarnation of the True Lord, he might be able to rely on this stone dew to help him regain his previous memories and return to his original position.

After carefully storing away the Three Lives Stone Dew, Xu Qingfu looked at the last two rewards.

A scroll of the Yama Sutra, and a simple and unadorned sword of the underworld emperor.

Among them, the Emperor's Sword ranks among the top-grade Heavenly Swords, symbolizing the authority and mandate of the underworld emperor. Those who wield the Emperor's Sword of the Underworld have the right to execute first and report later.

The Emperor's Sword is a weapon imbued with spirit; it cannot be drawn by anyone but one possessing the destiny of an emperor in the underworld.

Xu Qing concentrated his energy and reached out to touch the Emperor's Sword, attempting to pull out the hilt.

However, before his hand could land, the sword let out a startled cry, sprang from its sheath, and fell into his hand.

"."

Upon touching the sword, Xu Qing felt a strange sense of closeness, as if the sword were an extension of his arm and the direction of his will.

Xu Qing examined it closely. The sword was dark all over, with runes of Yin law surrounding and floating around the blade. The hilt was decorated with spider lilies and jade.

When the sword is wielded, the blade spontaneously generates eerie winds and ghostly fire, making it a truly powerful weapon for suppressing ghosts and vanquishing evil!
Xu Qing sensed the laws and principles contained within the Emperor's Sword and discovered that, in addition to judging the souls of the dead and suppressing evil spirits, it also contained the Great Dao Laws that balanced reincarnation and stabilized the order of the underworld.

This sword is quite suitable for the Mysterious Maiden Sword Technique.

Xu Qing loved it dearly. The Ghost-Slaying Sword was too cumbersome to use for swordsmanship, and it wasn't as good as his Shouyang Axe as a large axe.

But the Emperor's Sword before them was just right.

Xu Qing has found a new love and forgotten his old one; as for the Demon Lord's demon-slaying sword...
When the True Lord finishes his reincarnation, Xu Qing can, like Yama, bestow the Demon-Slaying Sword upon him once more.

This completes the original karmic connection between the Underworld Emperor and the Exorcist True Lord, who was given the sword.

Xu Qing used his "Great and Small As You Wish" supernatural power to swallow the sword into his stomach, and then looked at the last reward.

The Sutra of Yama.

This scripture was not obtained solely for the purpose of exorcising the demon lord. The lord's body was possessed by the ghost law. While Xu Qing was exorcising the lord, the ghost law's consciousness was also captured and exorcised by the scripture of salvation.

The Yama Sutra is a 'Netherworld Scripture' that gathers all the sources of supernatural powers in the laws of the underworld.

The Yama Sutra, also known as the Yama Original Vow Sutra, is a formless and shapeless book. It is an irregular mass formed by the convergence of various evil thoughts such as greed, anger, ignorance, pride, and doubt.

Although it is called a scripture, it is more like the ghostly words recited by the ghosts of the world.

Xu Qing opened his Hidden Mind, connected with the bridge between heaven and earth, entered the divine realm, and attempted to comprehend the profound mysteries and understand the contents of the scriptures.

However, the moment he touched the Yama Scripture, the scripture, which was formed from the chaotic thoughts of countless ghosts, instantly transformed into a torrent powerful enough to engulf the reason of immortals, Buddhas, saints, and gods, and swept towards him!

However, just as countless ghostly thoughts were frantically eroding Xu Qing's consciousness, trying to turn him into a second Ghost Law, the Salvation Scripture, which had been silently floating in his mind, suddenly shone brightly.

The teachings of salvation and the teachings of ghosts clash and contend with each other, much like Zen practitioners engaging in meditation and debate, trying to determine a winner.

Xu Qing gritted his teeth and kept chanting the Scripture of Salvation. Fortunately, the two scriptures only clashed for a moment before the Scripture of Yama was completely suppressed by the Scripture of Salvation.

Evil cannot prevail over good.

The Sutra of Salvation uses righteousness to overcome evil. After devouring the Sutra of Yama's Original Vow, the scriptures in Xu Qing's mind fell silent once again.

However, compared to the now dormant Duren Jing (Scripture of Salvation), Xu Qing's heart was filled with turbulent waves. Before this, the Duren Jing could only deliver the dead; even if Xu Qing could touch the spirits of the dead, he could not affect them.

However, the Sutra of Salvation, which was merged with the Sutra of Yama's Original Vow, now possesses the ability to contact and deliver ghosts.

In other words, Xu Qing can now perform rituals not only for the deceased but also for the souls and spirits of the dead.
This is no longer a matter of whether it's called "Heaven" or not. For Xu Qing, the additional functions of the Salvation Scripture are no less than those of the Heavenly Gang Axe Technique, which surpasses even the "Heaven" level.

The Heavenly Gang Axe Technique is his protective divine skill, while the former is the extension and foundation of his Dao.

The two complement each other perfectly, like a match made in heaven.

"Tianjin, Ghost Laws, Salvation Scripture"

By combining his own experience with the connection between the Ghost Law and the Salvation Scripture, Xu Qing seemed to vaguely understand something. Perhaps the Salvation Scripture, after the Ghost Lord has been liberated, is now in its true, complete form!
"The King of Hell left behind the Demon-Exorcising True Lord in the Yin River region of Tianjin; eight parts of the Emperor's Profound Qi are also in the Yin River region of Tianjin; and there is also the Ghost Law, which possesses the power to devour ghosts and gain their supernatural abilities."

Connecting all these clues, Xu Qing suddenly realized something.

Yes!

That exorcist with five parts of the underworld emperor's fortune must be the chosen one secretly selected by Yama, the King of Hell.

The other party is also the candidate to receive the treasure of the underworld that has been separated into two parts after it has entered the mortal world.

The nameless old woman whom Xu Qing knew had been searching for treasures of the underworld and a suitable person to face the calamity for thousands of years.

Similarly, it's impossible that Yama, the King of Hell, wouldn't be without a backup plan.

The Demon Exorcist, who hates evil and is upright and righteous, is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate for Yama, the King of Hell, and the successor on whom he places the greatest hopes.

Perhaps, when Yama met the Demon Exorcist in Biancheng and presented him with the Demon-Slaying Sword, Yama already harbored this idea.

The exorcist lord who had just entered the underworld was completely innocent, and his background and experiences in the mortal world were also innocent.

Such a person, independent of the power structure of the underworld and of pure and excellent character, is truly the only choice for Yama, the King of Hell.

Unfortunately, Yama, the King of Hell, could never have imagined that the Exorcist would cooperate with an unknown zombie and choose to perish together with the Ghost Law.

Xu Qing, holding the True Lord's legacy, was at a loss for words.

"I hope that exorcist brother will be reincarnated as a more handsome man in his next life."

All Xu Qing could do at this moment was offer her blessings.

Yinhe River, City of the Wrongfully Dead.

After dealing with Gui Lu, Xu Qing turned around and came to the ruins of this desolate city.

Although the law against ghosts has been abolished, ghosts still remain in the City of the Wrongfully Dead.

For the next two weeks, Xu Qing was like a farmer who had just had a good harvest, never stopping for a moment, and immersed in the joy of the harvest every day.

It wasn't until half a month later that the reclusive spiritual master, who had been hiding in the secular world, finally arrived.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, please tell me how you defeated Ghost Law."

Looking at the excited Fu Luan Shangren, Xu Qing recalled the time when this man first met the Exorcist True Lord and told the True Lord's fortune.

A slight thought stirred within him, and he said:
"The Demon Exorcist Lord knew he was seeking a path to death, destined to meet his demise, yet he still willingly faced death. Without this spirit of facing death without fear, I don't think he would have been able to find the flaw in the Ghost Law and win in one blow."

Xu Qing sighed to himself, "This kind of extraordinary and insightful courage is a thousand times, ten thousand times stronger than those turtles and tortoises that have lived for thousands of years, or those who have no eggs."

"."

You can speak freely, but why are you swearing?

Even though Master Fuluan has a thicker skin than the soles of his shoes, he still couldn't quite bear it.

Xu Qing's words sounded all too familiar to him. A thousand years ago, at the Wei River Bridge, that ugly, burly man on his way to the capital for the imperial examinations seemed to have said something similar to him.

However, the big man's words at that time were unintentional, but Xu Qing's words today were definitely intentional!
"Brother Xu, please don't speak so strangely. I was just thinking of providing support outside. If anything happens to you two, I will endure hardship and bide my time so that I can make a comeback and avenge you!"

Master Fulan spoke sincerely, but Xu Qing didn't believe a word he said.

He continued to sense the earth's veins, and when his divine sense traveled along the spine of the Heavenly Pillar and detected the golden-armored giant sleeping a hundred feet below, Xu Qing suddenly laughed:

"Talk is cheap; I happen to have a small favor to do. I just don't know if you'd be willing to lend a hand and show me what you're capable of."

Master Fuluan was a shrewd man. When he saw Xu Qing's strange and inexplicable smile, he instinctively wanted to refuse.

But then he thought, the greatest danger here has been eliminated, what else could possibly pose a threat to him?

"Hey! Look at what you're saying, brother. Just tell me what you need. Don't mention a small favor; I'd go through fire and water for you!"

Once the ghost law was lifted, Master Fuluan clearly perked up again, even mimicking the way he spoke, as if he had found a pair of bells he had lost two thousand years ago!
"That's not the case. You know I'm a funeral director, and my side job is to do feng shui consultations and locate auspicious sites."

"I think this place has excellent feng shui, so there must be some treasure buried underneath."

Xu Qing chuckled and said, "I won't let you work for nothing. If we dig out what's down there, I can split the profits 50/50 with you."

Fu Luan Shangren was surprised. Any place that Xu Qing called a treasure land must be extraordinary.

However, when Master Fuluan summoned the seven swords from the sword box and was about to dig a pit and excavate a grave, he discovered that Xu Qing had already flashed away to a hundred feet away.

"."

Master Fuluan hesitated.

His brows furrowed, and he dared not easily swing the Nuo sword in his hand.

Only when he saw Xu Qing smiling and waving encouragingly at him in the distance did Master Fuluan steel his heart and begin to dig the grave!
He's a terrestrial immortal who has traveled to three immortal mountains, so why would he be afraid of a mere desolate grave?
Seeing that Master Fuluan was digging diligently, Xu Qing retreated another fifty feet.

On the spot, Master Fuluan spared no effort, and when he dug to a depth of a hundred feet, a sound of metal clashing suddenly came from the desolate tomb that had existed for an unknown period of time.

Immediately afterward, the entire desolate tomb trembled. Before Master Fuluan could recover, he saw a golden-armored general at the bottom of the pit holding the Tai'a sword, blocking his Nuo sword, and opening his long-dormant eyes.

The first thing the golden-armored general saw when he opened his eyes was the Venerable Fuluan standing by the pit.

Sensing the familiar aura emanating from the other party, the golden-armored general was stunned for a moment, then immediately flew into a rage and said:
"You despicable Xu Sheng! You have deceived the emperor and misled the emperor for over two thousand years. His Majesty has spent the wealth of the four seas, provided three thousand children and a hundred ships, all for the sake of making you an immortal?"

The golden-armored general leaped out of the tomb pit and raised his hand to strike the Fuluan Master with his sword!
"His Majesty died at Shaqiu, yet he still asked us, Xu Sheng, whether we had returned. We drove the Xiongnu north and pacified the Baiyue in the south, our battle robes stained with blood to protect this land, yet His Majesty never thought of us. You usurpers and deceivers, what virtue or ability do you have to enter His Majesty's eyes!"

With each word spoken, the golden-armored general's aura grew stronger, drawing admiring glances from Xu Qing in the distance.

After meeting the Venerable Fuluan, this golden-armored general was actually several times stronger than the golden man he had met at the Heavenly General's place!
What kind of grudge or hatred could this be?
Xu Qing even had a feeling that the purpose of this golden man's existence was for this very moment!
