Chapter 279 Going to see Houtu
Ao Bing not only has the essence and blood of Gonggong, but also the Pangu aura originating from Pangu Jade Tower. As a descendant of Pangu, Empress Houtu cannot not feel it.
Therefore, the moment Ao Bing entered the Netherworld, she was alarmed. She immediately turned her gaze over and secretly observed Ao Bing, trying to see through his secrets.
Then, before the Empress Dowager saw through Ao Bing’s secret, she discovered that he was really bold.
However, with Jinxian’s cultivation, he dared to get involved in the control of the Nether World, and he also made an extremely complete plan. How dare he?
Even from the perspective of Empress Tu in the future, Ao Bing's plan can be called perfect. Once successful, he will immediately become the Supreme Lord of the Netherworld, take charge of the Netherworld, and control all souls.
But no matter how good the plan is, it still needs strong strength to back it up. Otherwise, all the efforts will be used as a wedding dress for others, and all the achievements will be easily taken away by other strong people.
With regard to Immortal Ao Bing’s cultivation, who can he defeat in the Netherworld? Do you really think that there are no masters in the Netherworld? Apart from anything else, the most powerful person under the saints, Patriarch Styx, has his dojo in the Netherworld.
As for the temperament of Patriarch Minghe, Empress Houtu has been close to him for many years, so she still has some understanding of it. It is impossible to say that he has no intention of dominating the Netherworld.
In this case, if he saw Ao Bing's plan, even if he was concerned about his identity and would not take anything by force, he would follow Ao Bing's example and set up another underworld department to take away his opportunity.
In addition, although Taishan Fujun's dojo is in Mount Tai, his authority is revealed in the Netherworld, and he also has the intention of establishing the Underworld Division.
Ao Bing's plan undoubtedly conflicts with him. This is the dispute between the avenues. The battle for the great avenues has always been cruel, and the identity of the direct descendant of Saint Ao Bing cannot scare veteran innate gods and demons like Taishan Fujun.
If he were to see Ao Bing's plan, a conflict would be inevitable, and he would definitely try every means to force Ao Bing out of the Netherworld.
In addition, Yuanshi Tianzun thought that his methods were secretive, and no one knew about secretly sending his disciples to the Netherworld for development.
But no matter how powerful he is, if he can hide it from everyone, how can he hide it from Empress Houtu who masters reincarnation.
Therefore, no one else knew that Taiyi Zhenren was ordered by Yuanshi to establish the Netherworld Pure Land to preach in the Netherworld, but Empress Houtu knew it all.
Which of these powerful people and forces is easy to provoke? And they are all Ao Bing's competitors. If Ao Bing is a person with great supernatural powers, then of course it doesn't matter.
But he is just a little golden fairy, so the problem is big. His plan is so perfect, better than everyone else's plans put together, who can't see it and not be moved?
What's more coincidental is that he doesn't have enough strength to protect the foundation he has established. This is simply an opportunity for a child to walk through the busy market with gold and force others to take action to rob him.
Empress Hou Tu has already anticipated Ao Bing’s fate. Just waiting for his plan to be seen, it won’t be long before he sadly leaves the Netherworld, and the Fengdu City he founded will also change hands. Become an opportunity for others to become enlightened.
In the ancient world, weak people have always been like this. No matter how good their ideas are, they have no chance of turning them into reality. Basically, as soon as they are implemented, they will be taken away by the keen and strong people.
If nothing else happens, Ao Bing will be the same. But because he had the aura of Pangu, an accident happened, and Empress Houtu decided to help him and temporarily cover up the secret for him.
As for how long this will last, it depends on what Ao Bing said to Empress Houtu when she went to see her.
If Empress Houtu is satisfied, then until Ao Bing has accumulated enough strength, Empress Houtu will help him shield the secrets.
On the other hand, if Ao Bing fails to satisfy Hou Tu Empress, then it will take anywhere from a hundred years to a thousand years for Queen Hou Tu’s magical powers to become ineffective, and the hidden secrets will reappear in the world and be known to the heroes of the underworld. .
...
“Is the Empress Houtu helping me?”
Ao Bing naturally felt the change in the secret of heaven, and then saw him stop what he was doing and move toward the Six Paths of Reincarnation. He bowed in the direction and sincerely expressed his gratitude to the Queen.
In the Netherworld, the only one with such strength is Houtu Empress. Why she helped him, Ao Bing can probably guess, it has to do with the Pangu Jade Tower on his body, and the Gonggong Jingjing. Blood related.
Otherwise, Ao Bing was just a stranger to Houtu Empress. How could she help him for no reason.
But no matter what, Empress Houtu was willing to help him cover up the secret, which finally solved a big trouble for him. Otherwise, under the prying eyes of the powerful men in the Netherworld, even if he could defend Fengdu City, he would suffer heavy losses.
In fact, the plan to unify the Nether World was aborted. In the end, it had to cooperate with other forces and share some power in order to secure the position of Nether Supreme.
The Netherworld in later generations is the result of the compromise between the various forces, and is jointly controlled by the three forces of Immortality, Heaven, and Buddhism.
Therefore, the status of the Yin Division is very low, not to mention on par with Heaven, even inferior to the Six Divisions of Heaven, and on the same level as the Dragon King of the Four Seas.
The three parties all want to unify the Nether World, and no one will give in, and then no one can do anything to the other. In the end, they had no other choice, so they cooperated, drove away the other forces, and jointly controlled the Netherworld.
This also led to the fact that the authority of the Netherworld was not unified and was divided into three parts. The status of the Underworld was affected by this and was naturally not high.
If the powers in the Nether World are unified and a true Nether Supreme is born, even if his status cannot be compared with the four emperors, he will still be the top existence below them. A proper boss can control the pattern of heaven and earth.
What Ao Bing wants is the position of Netherworld Supreme. But his actions today almost caused him to miss this position.
It can be said that if there is no help from the Empress Houtu. It will be at least tens of thousands of times more difficult for him to become the Nether Supreme in the future.
Empress Houtu really helped Ao Bing a lot this time, and he had to thank Empress Houtu properly.
"Empress Houtu helped me shield the secrets of heaven today and returned Gonggong's essence and blood as a favor. This is considered a favor. If I want to continue to get her help in the future, I have to offer a lot of benefits to impress her."
Ao Bing knew very well that his relationship with Empress Houtu was not deep. Although the favor to return Gonggong's essence and blood is great, the opportunity for Netherworld Supreme is also not small.
The Empress Houtu helped him shield the secrets of heaven, which was regarded as repaying the cause and effect in advance. If you want to ask her for help later, you must provide real benefits.
Ao Bing has already prepared for this. As a saint of reincarnation, Empress Houtu lacks everything. There are few treasures in the world that can impress her. The only thing she cares about is the future of the Wu clan.
After all, Queen Houtu owes nothing to anyone, but she only feels guilty towards the Wu clan.
If she hadn't reincarnated into reincarnation, causing the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Evil Formation to be deficient, how could the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan have both suffered losses and ended up in decline.
Because she felt guilty, Empress Houtu had been trying to find ways to compensate the Witch Clan and try to reestablish it in the ancient land.
And Ao Bing happened to have an opportunity related to the Wu clan. Sorting out the earth's veins, clearing away the turbid and evil spirits, and killing ferocious beasts are all inseparable from the help of the Wu Clan. This is the fate and opportunity of the Wu Clan.
After completing these, the merit gained can almost wash away the sins of the witch clan, allowing them to reappear in the human world and become active on the earth again.
It has to be said that obtaining the essence and blood of Gonggong is really a good thing for Ao Bing, which allows him to establish a relationship with Empress Houtu, and then has the possibility of cooperating with the Wu clan.
Otherwise, no matter how perfect his plan is and no matter how beneficial it is, it will be in vain if he cannot find the Witch Clan. ...
As time passed by, the eighteen levels of hell became more and more stable, completely turning into eighteen small worlds.
The inner rules manifest, either into various instruments of torture; or into jailers, staring longingly at the outside world, as if expecting the arrival of evil spirits.
Be it instruments of torture or jailers, they are all transformed by the power of rules and are not living creatures.
Therefore, they are born together with the eighteen levels of hell, and they all have the ability to be immortal. The eighteen levels of hell are not destroyed, they are immortal, and they can be restored immediately even if they are destroyed.
And their power comes from the harsh environment of the Netherworld, such as underground yin fire, bone-eroding cold wind, Jiuyou cold air, etc.
These forces that make the environment of the Nether World become harsh and gradually unsuitable for survival are all absorbed by the eighteen levels of hell and become the material for their own growth.
In this way, it can not only improve the environment of the nether world, but also strengthen the eighteen levels of hell, making it unable to be destroyed by external forces. It can be said that it kills several birds with one stone.
While the Eighteen Levels of Hell were stabilizing, Fengdu City also welcomed its first batch of residents.
One after another, ghost cars drove from the City God's Temple, crossed the long Huangquan Road, and arrived at the Guimen Pass. After verifying the directions with the ghost guards at the gate, they led a group of ghosts into Fengdu City one after another.
The ghosts were divided into two groups. One group was escorted by Yin Chaos and went to Ao Bing for final verification. If the City God's judgment is correct, these ghosts will either go to reincarnation or go to hell to be tortured as the City God judged previously.
The other group is the ghosts who died in vain. They have deep resentment and are not suitable for reincarnation. They need to stay in Fengdu City temporarily. They will not go to reincarnation until they see the retribution of their enemies with their own eyes and their resentment dissipates.
Fengdu City was built for them.
“Block the Ghost List!”
Seeing these ghosts coming to Fengdu City, Ao Bing did not rush to verify them. Instead, he took out the ghost list and prepared to continue canonizing gods.
At this time, the Yin Division was first established, and the Ten Halls of Yama, the Four Great Judges, the Five Ghost Emperors, and the Ten Great Yin Commanders all had not returned to their positions. Therefore, these ghosts that were sent had to be verified by Ao Bing, the master of the underworld.
But Ao Bing didn't even want to deal with the affairs of the Dragon City and the Punishment Department, so how could he spend a lot of time dealing with these chores in Fengdu City.
Therefore, he planned to seal some Yin gods to respond to emergencies and handle these chores on his behalf. After that, when the Ten Palaces of Yama, the Four Great Judges and other Yin Gods return to their positions one after another, he will be able to become the hands-off shopkeeper.
With the establishment of Fengdu City and the Eighteen Levels of Hell, the Ghost List has indeed changed accordingly.
Many of the illusory Yin gods above have now solidified, such as the Netherworld Judge, the Ten Yin Commanders, the Lord of the Eighteen Hells, etc.
The transformation of the gods from virtual to real means that these gods have met the conditions for canonization. As long as there are suitable candidates, they can be canonized immediately.
However, these divine positions are too high-end, and now Ao Bing has no suitable candidates.
Even when the Yin Division was first established, the four great judges were still Taiyi Golden Immortal level figures. These ghosts in the Dragon Realm have only accumulated a hundred years of virtue at most. In any case, they are not qualified to inherit this level of godhood.
Although there is no suitable candidate, Ao Bing is not in a hurry. Establishing the Yin Division does not happen overnight. There is plenty of time left, so just look for it slowly.
If you really can’t find one, just train yourself, and you can always find the right candidate.
As for just looking for people to deal with it, this is not advisable. The underworld is extremely important, especially in the initial construction stage, and it is better to have less than too much. Otherwise, if it turns into a grass-roots team, it will not just make people laugh.
How can we unify the underworld and control all ghosts, even if we laugh to death?
After ordering a few ghosts with deep moral virtues and letting them temporarily serve as judges, Ao Bing left Fengdu City and rushed towards the place of six paths of reincarnation.
This is paving the way for them. Wherever Ao Bing passes, there will be a road left. Those ghosts who go to reincarnate will reach the place of reincarnation as long as they go down this road.
"Eh~~"
Not long after walking, Ao Bing suddenly felt a strong sense of homesickness in his heart, and then he saw him stop and look deep in thought.
“Here is where the souls’ longing for their families gathers. A homestead should be set up to allow reincarnated people to take one last look at their hometown and family.”
Having realized this, Ao Bing suddenly spoke. said.
In an instant, the heaven and earth felt something, and endless longings poured in, turning into a high platform, which was the famous Wangxiang Tower in later generations.
After setting up the gazebo, Ao Bing continued to move forward. Then, a long river appeared in front of him, blocking his way.
This river is the Lethe River, the Nai River, and the Styx River, which are branches of the Sea of Blood. Looking down, he saw that the river was as red as blood and exuded an extremely strong smell of filth, making it difficult to approach.
At the same time, the blood river is full of insects and snakes, the waves are rolling, and the fishy wind is blowing against your face, as if it wants to choose people to eat.
The Sea of Blood, the place where all dead souls return before reincarnation is born, was transformed by the dirty blood in the belly button of Pangu, and is known as the most filthy place in the world.
The dead souls fell into it and were corroded by the sea of blood, enduring tremendous torture every moment. It was not until Queen Houtu reincarnated that the ghosts in the world were freed from the endless pain.
On the opposite side of the Wangchuan River is Ao Bing's destination, the location of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
"The Three Lives Stone should be erected here to remember people's past lives, this life, and the next life."
In front of the Wangchuan River, Ao Bing used his magical power to use the power of time and space to turn into a strange stone to remember people's three lives. III.
The so-called Sansheng Stone is a history book that will record the memories of all the ghosts passing through this place.
After reincarnation, they will forget everything, but their memories will not disappear. They will be recorded by the Sansheng Stone, which will facilitate them to retrieve the memories of their previous lives after they succeed in cultivation, and it will also be convenient for Ao Bing to compile history books.
"The next step is to build the Naihe Bridge."
Withdrawing his gaze from the Sansheng Stone, Ao Bing looked at the Wangchuan River again.
