There is a beast in the bright morning.

The mere sound of that one sentence echoed through the void, and Dark Night felt as if he had just escaped death, drenched in sweat and panting heavily.

At this moment, An Ye finally understood that the reason why Dao Zi chose reincarnation was simply to advance his path of cultivation, nothing more.

What Dark Night couldn't understand was why, with so many ways to pursue the Great Dao, the Dao Child would choose the most dangerous path of reincarnation.

The slightest carelessness could cause one's true spirit to be forever silenced, even a Dao Child would be no exception, and might even be directly eliminated by competitors.

"Michiko, you..."

"Hmph, my affairs are none of your business. If there is a next time, I will imprison you in the Divine Prison for eternity."

Dark Night wanted to say something more, but was met with a cold snort, which caused Dark Night's physical body to shatter again. This time, Dark Night appeared even weaker after recovering, but he dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction.

At this moment, Daozi's voice appeared again: "Leave, do not disturb this world again. When the time comes, I will return."

"Your subject takes his leave in the dead of night."

Just as An Ye was about to leave, Dao Zi's voice rang out again: "Leave Taotie's claws behind."

"Yes."

An Ye waved his hand, and four huge, yellow and black claws appeared in the void, their fur growing like sharp thorns that were very prickly.

After completing all this, Dark Night withdrew. After Dark Night left, the space was completely silent. Finally, a somewhat illusory figure appeared beside Hao Chen.

Looking at Hao Chen, who had reverted to his original form due to his injuries, the illusory figure had a complex expression on his face: "This is my reincarnation. He really looks like that guy's partner. Is this fate?"

The phantom looked up at the void, its somewhat empty pupils seemingly able to see through everything: "You said that what I lack is emotion, so I chose to reincarnate to experience the emotion you spoke of. So what about you? What are you experiencing now?"

The next moment, the phantom sighed again. In order to experience so-called love, he had given up too much: his followers, the forces that worshipped him, and even his former glory.

"Get a good night's sleep, and so should you all."

The phantom pointed at the unconscious Hao Chen on the ground, turning everything into a dream. Then it looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva and the Qilin Tianlu and others outside the nineteenth level of hell. Even the Heavenly Emperor and the others in the Heavenly Court fell asleep under the phantom's gaze.

After completing all this, the illusory figure slowly transformed into a rain of light and returned to Hao Chen's body, disappearing into the Yin-Yang Immortal Seed.

A short while later, Hao Chen slowly woke up, only to look at the broken ground beneath his feet with a bewildered expression: "What's going on? Where am I? How did I end up sleeping here? Is Di Ting really that stingy? He won't even let me sleep in a bed?"

Just as Haochen was complaining, he suddenly noticed four large claws on the ground. Curious, he went over to examine them and even touched them.

"It's a bit prickly. The color and shape of its fur look like the claws of a Taotie. But how come its claws are here? Weren't they locked up in the nineteenth level of hell by the people of Heaven?"

Thinking of this, Hao Chen wondered if he was in the nineteenth level of hell, but how did he get here? Why did he have no memory of it?

However, Hao Chen didn't think much of it. He looked at the Taotie's claws on the ground and suddenly had the idea of ​​taking the claws with him and leaving this place.

"The Taotie's claws look chubby. I wonder what they taste like. I don't think anyone would mind eating one."

Looking at the Taotie's fat paws, which resembled bear claws, Hao Chen couldn't help but imagine whether they tasted delicious. Before he knew it, he had bitten one of the paws.

Immediately, the claws reacted and began to struggle incessantly. The other three claws also frantically scratched and slapped, smashing stones, sinking the ground, and destroying everything that could be destroyed.

Hao Chen was startled and quickly opened his mouth to swallow Taotie's four large claws. Then he used the Yin-Yang principle to seal Taotie's claws, letting them lie quietly in Hao Chen's stomach.

Hao Chen didn't do this to actually eat the Taotie's claws; he wasn't that greedy to eat them without even washing them. He was just using his stomach as storage space.

Only by using his own stomach could he prevent the Heavenly Court from spying on him; otherwise, if the Heavenly Court found out that Taotie's claws were with him, there would probably be another dispute.

If this drags down the Qilin and Tianlu, that's not what Haochen wants to see.

Having finished all this, Hao Chen hurried towards the outside world, not wanting anyone to discover that he had trespassed into the forbidden area.

But when Hao Chen arrived at the exit, he found a row of people and beasts lying outside.

Looking at Tianlu, who was drooling in his sleep, and the Qilin, who was still clinging to its tail even in its sleep, Haochen wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and silently recited the "Ice Heart Mantra": "If the heart is pure as ice, one will not be alarmed even if the sky collapses; one will remain calm amidst all changes, and one's spirit will be serene; one will not be stained by dust or worldly appearances..."

He couldn't not study it; he worried that if he did something strange and they suddenly woke up and saw it, he would probably have to live in a completely different world.

"Tianlu, wake up, get up and eat gold bars; Sibuxiang, get up, Tianlu is eating your treasure; Rabbit Lord, your Sibuxiang ran away with someone; Diting, don't sleep, Bai Ze is going back; Bai Ze, get up, Diting is coming to find you; Lie Lie, Nezha is coming to hug you."

Hao Chen called out to the beasts in the arena, and it was normal for them to occasionally touch each other; no one should have any ulterior motives.

After Hao Chen had rubbed it once, he had had his fill of playing with it. Seeing that everyone was about to wake up, in order not to be suspected, Hao Chen quickly lay down next to Tian Lu and pretended to be asleep, even using Tian Lu's tail as a pillow.

After Hao Chen finished making preparations, everyone slowly woke up. However, when they first woke up, they were just as confused as Hao Chen, wondering how they had fallen asleep and were still sleeping here.

Hao Chen pretended to have just woken up, rubbing his eyes: "What's wrong with you guys? Huh, how did I fall asleep? Where am I?"

Hao Chen's exaggerated acting did not arouse suspicion, simply because everyone was still somewhat dazed at the moment.

At this moment, Di Ting discovered the damaged gate to the nineteenth level of hell. He quickly got up and ran inside, only to be horrified to find it empty, as if it had been completely looted. Even the body of the most important prisoner, Taotie, was gone.

Fortunately, there were two great Buddhist beings present at this moment, so Di Ting didn't need to worry. After inquiring about the earth, Di Ting did not get any useful clues from it, so it told its master, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, about the situation.

The two bodhisattvas then unanimously decided to inform the Heavenly Court of all this, to give the Heavenly Court a headache, since the nineteenth level of hell was specially set up by the Heavenly Court to imprison those ferocious divine beasts and monsters.

With nothing else to do, Di Ting asked, "Anyone want to eat hot pot?"

"Hot pot, I want to eat, I want to eat!" Tianlu didn't care why his tail was wet when he woke up, as soon as he heard about food.

September and the others were clearly interested in the hot pot from the underworld, so they also signed up.

After some calculations, apart from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva who were going to the Heavenly Court to report what had happened in the Underworld, everyone else followed Di Ting back to his residence, Di Fu.

At this moment, Dark Night, who had already traveled an unknown distance, stopped, looked in Hao Chen's direction, and smiled: "Dao Zi, since you want to undergo reincarnation training, I will prepare it for you. Only battle is the best training."
