Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

Suddenly, a palm strike erupted, imbued with Li Xiuyuan's power principles. It conveyed the kind of power that could break through ten techniques with a single strike, seemingly capable of shattering Kong Xuan's Five-Colored Divine Light, no matter how powerful it was.

Kong Xuan was secretly surprised upon seeing this. He knew that although his Five-Colored Space was very large, if Li Xiuyuan, a giant of ten thousand feet, were taken in and then broken open and tormented several times, he would not be able to withstand it.

Upon seeing this, Kong Xuan had a thought, and saw two identical figures float out from his primordial spirit. One was dressed in white, and the other in black; they were his two corpses, one good and one evil.

It's no wonder that Kong Xuan was able to fight against Sage Zhunti. He was quite powerful among quasi-sages. After all, even a sage wouldn't be able to sever two corpses like that!

In this world, the only person who has severed the three corpses and become a saint is the Lord of Honggou. All other saints became saints through merit. The Three Pure Ones have the merit left over from Pangu's creation of the world, plus the merit of founding their sects.

As for Zhunti and Jieyin, their main concern is making great vows. After all, they are not like the true descendants of Pangu, who have merits left over from the creation of the world. Therefore, they owe the Heavenly Dao a debt that they need to repay.

Of course, whether some people will sever their corpses after becoming saints is unknown. However, it will be even more difficult for them to sever their corpses after becoming saints. But it is not impossible that some saints will sever all three corpses.

Severing the Three Corpses means cutting off one's good thoughts, evil thoughts, and self, which are essentially attachments. When severing attachments, one can entrust them to various innate spiritual treasures, creating incarnations with boundless and vast magical power.

In Buddhism, one can also entrust their power to the Dharma body cultivated through practice, which is also incredibly powerful, though somewhat inferior to entrusting it to an innate spiritual treasure. After the three corpses are completely severed, one enters the Great Nirvana Realm, where the three corpses merge into one, and the avatar and the original body completely merge and become indistinguishable.

At this moment, one can transform into countless beings, and is only one step away from the Primordial Dao.

However, Li Xiuyuan thought that the Lord of Honggou might have kept a trick up his sleeve. Those who had severed their three corpses to become saints would likely find it extremely difficult to reunite their three corpses into one.

Li Xiuyuan thought to himself that after Kong Xuan's two incarnations of good and evil appeared, his combat power increased dramatically in an instant.

It should be noted that the potential of the Three Corpses is not weak. As long as they are incarnations of innate spiritual treasures, they can possess powerful combat strength. If the level of the innate spiritual treasure is high, they may not be inferior to the original body!

Therefore, when Kong Xuan's two corpses of good and evil appeared, it made Li Xiuyuan quite tired. However, that was all. With the spatial laws, he had no pressure at all when facing Kong Xuan's two corpses of good and evil.

However, launching an attack has become somewhat difficult, as he would be surrounded and attacked by the other two as soon as he appeared. Li Xiuyuan, adhering to his hit-and-run mentality and possessing the power of the Law of Power, is no weaker than Kong Xuan.

At this moment, Kong Xuan was already extremely surprised. You should know that with both the good and evil corpses out, it was almost equivalent to being besieged by three quasi-saints, but Li Xiuyuan seemed to be handling it with ease, as if he had plenty of energy left.

However, the more things seemed to be going on like this, the stronger Kong Xuan's killing intent became. Since he had already offended them, he might as well finish the matter off completely and save them from seeking revenge in the future.

Therefore, the battle between the two became increasingly fierce, and the surrounding area was razed to the ground. The fight between the two was truly terrifying and even shocked many people.

Even Zhunti and Jieyin did not expect that Li Xiuyuan could fight to this day, because in their minds, at most Li Xiuyuan would just run away.

Instead of engaging in a fierce battle with Kong Xuan, that spatial law, when combined with the power law, seemed to possess inexhaustible power.

Kong Xuan's two corpses, one good and one evil, each control the laws of water and fire. Both of them are incarnations of innate spiritual treasures of water and fire, and their combined power is immense.

However, Li Xiuyuan's knowledge was somewhat limited, and he didn't recognize anything. Nevertheless, even for someone with spatial laws like him, the experience of the Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire was definitely unpleasant.

Whoosh!

After a long while, Li Xiuyuan unleashed several powerful moves. Although Kong Xuan deflected them all, it was by no means easy. He possessed the evolutionary power of the Twelve Heavens Worlds, so he recovered very quickly.

Li Xiuyuan said calmly, "Kong Xuan, I will let you go today. Let's fight again another day!"

As he spoke, a thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately prepared to escape.

At this point, Li Xiuyuan knew in his heart that he couldn't win by continuing to fight, so he might as well just leave.

Chapter 402 The Great Witch Xiang Liu

Although Li Xiuyuan possessed the World-Destroying Black Lotus, a supreme defensive treasure, which he hadn't yet used, and might have some advantage over Kong Xuan, he still felt that even if he won this battle, it wouldn't be appropriate to kill Kong Xuan outright.

After all, the opponent was a quasi-saint level expert from Buddhism. Losing one of them would be a loss, unlike the others who were dispensable. Moreover, as a quasi-saint who was capable of fighting against a quasi-saint, Kong Xuan naturally had his own means of self-preservation.

Li Xiuyuan wasn't confident he could completely subdue him before reaching the Quasi-Saint realm. He didn't want to expose the Black Lotus of Annihilation's territory and let the other party escape, otherwise some of his secrets would be revealed to everyone.

After much deliberation, Li Xiuyuan finally decided to leave as soon as possible.

With a thought, Li Xiuyuan quickly slipped away. Possessing spatial abilities, he was far beyond the reach of Kong Xuan.

After watching Li Xiuyuan leave, Kong Xuan frowned slightly, secretly regretting that if he had won, he would have avoided a huge problem. Now, waiting for Li Xiuyuan to retaliate was likely to be a difficult situation.

However, Kong Xuan was proud and did not regret what he had done!

.................................. ....................................................

Meanwhile, in the Netherworld, the terrain is rugged and uneven, as steep as the Shu Mountains and as high as Lushan Mountain. It is not a famous mountain in the mortal world, but a dangerous place in the underworld.

Thorns hide ghosts, gnarled cliffs conceal demons. No cries of beasts or birds are heard, only the swaying of ghosts and demons. A chilling wind whistles, a thick black mist hangs heavy. The chilling wind whistles, the smoke from the whistles of divine soldiers.

A thick black mist hung in the air, the secret breath of ghosts. The road to the underworld was shrouded in fog, with countless ghosts marching side by side, and Fahai was among them.

Looking around, there's nothing to see, high or low; to the left and right, all that can be seen is ruin and destruction.

There are mountains, peaks, ridges, caves, and streams there.

However, the mountains are barren, the peaks do not reach the sky, the ridges are impassable, the caves do not hold clouds, and the streams do not flow.

Monsters and ghouls lurk on the shore, gods and demons abound below the ridge. Wild ghosts are captured in the cave, evil spirits hide at the bottom of the ravine.

Looking at the scene before him, Li Xiuyuan thought to himself, "Finally, I've arrived." After taking some treasures from the Wu Clan's treasury, he would enter the Chaos to cultivate.

At this moment, Li Xiuyuan had reached the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, both in terms of his physical body and his primordial spirit, and was able to walk in the chaos.

Note that this is only barely possible. The chaos is vast and boundless, and even a saint might encounter danger here. After all, when Pangu created the world, he might have left behind some demon gods, and it was impossible to kill all three thousand demon gods.

Moreover, some people may have means of self-preservation and be able to escape the Great Calamity of Creation. For example, Honggou, who was said to have originally been an earthworm, later obtained the Heavenly Jade Butterfly and thus grew up.

Another poem says:

He lay high on a cloud-covered cushion and attained the true Dao.

Beyond the mysteries of heaven and earth, I shall be the supreme leader.

Pangu gave birth to Taiji, Yin and Yang, and the Four Symbols.

One path is passed down to three friends, two teachings are established, and the teachings of Chan and Jie are divided.

The leader of the Xuanmen (mysterious sect) transformed the Qi into Hongjun.

Li Xiuyuan thought to himself, "This is the Netherworld." As he thought this, he looked ahead and saw a big man walking out. The man was wearing animal clothing and was over two meters tall.

The newcomer shouted, "Great Shaman Xiangliu greets the Thirteenth Ancestral Shaman. Empress Pingxin has been waiting for you in the main hall for a long time!"

As he spoke, he knelt down respectfully on the ground, as if he were a devout believer.

After hearing this, Li Xiuyuan nodded to himself and replied, "Alright, lead the way!"

He showed no fear whatsoever. At this moment, he was the only Ancestral Witch among the Witch Clan. Although Houtu was still alive, since her body was reincarnated, she no longer possessed the body of an Ancestral Witch.

The Xiangliu before us is no ordinary creature either. It has the body of a snake and nine heads, devours countless people, and turns every place it goes into a swamp.

The water it spews is more powerful than a flood; it is bitter and spicy, and eating it will kill you. Therefore, even birds and beasts cannot live in this marsh.

Seeing Xiangliu's rampant behavior, Yu used his divine power to kill him, ridding the people of this scourge. The blood flowing from Xiangliu's body rendered the land barren, polluting vast areas.

Yu tried to block the pass with mud, but the pass collapsed three times. Yu had no choice but to split the land into a pool. Gods from all directions built a high platform on the edge of the pool to suppress the demons.

What's unexpected is that Xiang Liu actually survived in the Netherworld. But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. Although Hou Tu couldn't protect a few brothers, protecting a few great witches wouldn't be difficult.

Even though Xiang Liu has committed many evil deeds!

As Li Xiuyuan walked, he looked at the eighteen levels of hell.

The underworld has eighteen levels of hell, which are:

The first level of the Tongue-Pulling Hell

The Second Level of Scissors Hell

The Third Level of Iron Tree Hell

The fourth level of the Mirror of Retribution

The Fifth Level of Steaming Hell

The Sixth Level of the Copper Pillar Hell

The seventh level of hell of knives

The Eighth Level of Iceberg Hell

The Ninth Level of Oil Cauldron Hell

The tenth level of the Ox Pit Hell

The eleventh level of the Stone Press Hell

The twelfth level of the Mortar and Pestle Hell

The Thirteenth Level of Blood Pool Hell

The fourteenth level of the Hell of Unjust Death

The fifteenth level of the hell of crucifixion

The Sixteenth Level of Volcanic Hell

The Seventeenth Level of the Stone Mill Hell

The Eighteenth Level of the Saw-and-Knife Hell

These are all used to punish those wicked ghosts.

Not long after, Li Xiuyuan was led by Xiang Liu to a grand hall. It was an extremely spacious hall with a circular object embedded in the ceiling, two thousand miles in diameter, emitting a bluish-yellow light, like an indoor sun, bathing the entire hall in thousands of rays of blue light.

At this moment, an old figure appeared from among them. If one looked closely, one would find that the person was none other than Consort Pingxin.

Upon seeing her, Li Xiuyuan greeted her, saying, "Your Majesty Pingxin!"

As he spoke, he looked around and realized that he seemed to be in a small world, a place like a miniature world.

It was only at this moment that Li Xiuyuan realized that the place he was in was probably created by a spatial magic artifact!
