Primordial Era: Wife Nuwa, Adorable Baby Causes Havoc in Zixiao Palace

Chapter 39 The Beginning of a Dynasty, the Power of Faith

"Thank you, Immortal!"

Experiencing their own transformation, everyone was overjoyed and worshipped with utmost devotion once again!
"As long as you work diligently and make the Ming Dynasty more prosperous, you will all benefit in the future!"

Li Changsheng casually pointed, and the ninety-nine-zhang-high platform rose directly from the ground, instantly growing to nine hundred and ninety-nine zhang. The three large characters "Scripture Hall" were engraved on it, exuding a profound Daoist charm!
Inside the Sutra Repository, the space-time expansion technique further enhances its visual impact, making its true scale no less than that of the towering Yin-Yang Mountain in the Qin Dynasty world!

The golden dragon of national destiny, soaring through the clouds in the void, also happily landed on the dragon pearl at the top of the Sutra Repository and entered the space specially prepared for it.

"From this day forward, anyone who has contributed to the Ming Dynasty can enter the Scripture Pavilion and obtain the corresponding cultivation techniques and elixirs, including but not limited to benefiting the people, punishing evil, expanding territory, and teaching the masses!"

Li Changsheng spoke again.

"Thank you, God!"

The crowd grew even more ecstatic.

It's already incredibly fortunate to receive a blessing once, but now there are even more ways to improve. All that's needed is to make the Ming Dynasty even stronger!

Emperor Ming, in particular, was already devout. He discovered that he only needed to worship Li Changsheng and entrust the affairs of state to suitable people, so that he could focus on cultivating immortality and seeking the Dao. He could continuously break through his limits by taking advantage of the vast fortune of the Ming Dynasty. He was truly the happiest monarch in history!
Zuo Qianhu and Fu Tianchou were also overjoyed.
They have always struggled with how to get officials both inside and outside the court to fulfill their duties. Even with strong military force and the help of heroes like Yan Chixia, they still could not cope with the vast Ming Dynasty.

However, nowadays, with the immense temptation of sharing in the nation's destiny, achieving immortality, or even ascending to immortality, there is no need to worry about officials not being conscientious and dutiful, nor is there any need to worry about the martial arts world outwardly complying with but inwardly disobeying the court's orders!
The viewers chatting during the live stream were also dumbfounded.

[Zhu Yuanzhang: Is this the prosperous scene of the dynasty that the immortals spoke of? It is truly captivating!]

[Chen Jinnan: With the nation's fate so intertwined, there's no need to worry about the government and the people not doing their utmost. The people can finally usher in a truly prosperous era!]

[Lu Zhi: It's not just about having enough to eat and wear. As long as the nation's fortune is sufficient, even ordinary people can achieve success in cultivation, creating a virtuous cycle where the whole country ascends to prominence. This isn't just a figment of imagination!]

[Yanfei: Right after the golden dragon representing the nation's destiny appeared in the live stream, my Yin-Yang Mountain also shone even brighter. It seems that as long as Brother Changsheng comes again, it can also be upgraded to a dynasty with a destiny!]

After Li Changsheng's arrival, the Qin state, which was already the only dominant power, surpassed the other six states in strength. With Han Fei, Zhang Liang, and others winning over the hearts of the people, the Qin state quickly annexed the six states and the Baiyue region. Moreover, due to its overwhelming strength and various benevolent policies, its foundation was many times stronger than in history.

The reason why he has not yet ascended the throne is simply that Ying Zheng hopes to gain the approval of Li Changsheng, the martial immortal who protects the country, before doing so.

[Li Changsheng: Simple. You have Ying Zheng wipe out the nomadic tribes of the grasslands, and I'll go again!]

[Ma Xiaoling: Such a simple condition, clearly she just wants to see Sister Yanfei, using public office for private gain!]

[Wanwan: Who told Yanfei to beat me to it? Didn't you all already consider her the eldest sister?]

[Lü Zhi: Brother Li, when will it be my turn?]

[Li Hanyi: If I have the chance, I would also like to express my gratitude to the Immortal!]

[Ma Xiaoling: Didn't Hanyi sister say before that she didn't like fickle men?]

[Wanwan: Before saying that, shouldn't someone have checked their chat history first and chuckled to themselves?]

[Li Hanyi: I was just expressing my gratitude for the swordsmanship instruction, please don't misunderstand, ladies!]

[Li Changsheng: Don't steer the conversation off-topic. Once I truly have control over the affairs of the dynasties, I'll visit each world. It'll be a win-win situation!]

[Li Changsheng: However, I've sensed something interesting at Lanruo Temple. You can all take a closer look!]

Liaozhai Da Ming

"Old Yan, you're hopeless! You've been staying at Lanruo Temple for so long, and you've still left behind a pile of mess for the immortal to clean up?"

Zuo Qianhu looked at Yan Chixia with a mocking expression.

"Without the immortal, you brute are even worse than this old Taoist!"

Yan Chixia glared back at him, annoyed.

With similar personalities and both having received kindness from Li Changsheng to achieve their current success, the two can be described as "birds of a feather," closer than brothers.

"How much do you know about the Black Mountain Demon?"

Li Changsheng stared at Lanruo Temple for a long time before turning around and asking.

"This old ghost is very mysterious. What we defeated back then was only one of his avatars!"

Yan Chixia gave a wry smile and said, "As for his true identity and the mastermind behind him, even if Lao Zuo and I join forces now, we might not be able to guarantee anything!"

"The City of the Wrongfully Dead is located in the underworld, filled with countless fierce gods and evil spirits. I'm afraid even a celestial being would have to personally intervene!"

Zuo Qianhu's expression was also solemn.
Having reached the realm of a terrestrial immortal and comprehended the Nine Demon-Subduing Incantations, slaying countless demons and monsters, he remained righteous and awe-inspiring, but his actions were no longer as reckless as before.

"This is interesting. As the key to the Six Paths of Reincarnation, this City of the Wrongfully Dead not only fails to shelter the wronged souls of the mortals, but has also become a place where the Black Mountain Demon and others run rampant. What exactly is the mastermind behind this?"

Li Changsheng said in a cold voice.

It was supposed to be a place where Buddhism was spread, but it ended up becoming a place where a thousand-year-old tree demon ravaged the common people, and it could even be directly connected to the underworld, such as the City of the Wrongfully Dead.

Considering that the City of the Wrongfully Dead is directly managed by King Biancheng, the sixth of the Ten Kings of Hell, and also involves the Buddhist great master Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who vowed "I will not become a Buddha until hell is empty," this makes it even more worthy of scrutiny. "Is the immortal going to attack the underworld?"

Fu Tianchou's expression turned serious.
Although Li Changsheng's cultivation was unparalleled and he could easily create fortunes that would benefit them immensely, the fact that it involved the Underworld, a place that was always the most feared and unwanted to mention, still made them subconsciously somewhat worried.

"Without solving the problem of the six realms of reincarnation, not only will wandering ghosts be unable to find liberation, but the fortune of the entire world will also be continuously eroded and weakened!"

Li Changsheng lightly tapped his right hand, and a beam of mysterious light pierced through the void for thousands of miles, directly entering the depths of the Netherworld, illuminating a dark and eerie world that inspired fear!

"Is there anyone willing to come with me to the City of the Wrongfully Dead?"

Li Changsheng spoke calmly.

"I long to visit the Gentle Breeze and the Moonlit Pool!"

Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi, who had been keeping their eyes on Li Changsheng's expression, responded before Yan Chixia and Zuo Qianhu could.

"Your courage is commendable, but your skills are lacking!"

"I happen to have a technique called the Five Thunder Heavenly Mantra, which is most effective against ghosts. You should learn it first!"

Li Changsheng nodded and smiled.

Following him is no easy task; the Fu sisters only passed the first test!

"I entrust everything to the Immortal!"

He, as the father, could easily see through his two daughters' thoughts. However, he had changed a lot from the original character, so he naturally wouldn't force his daughters or jeopardize their lifelong happiness.

"Human affairs should be handled by human beings. Whoever dares to interfere should be stopped!"

Li Changsheng said coldly, "You have three breaths to come out and face trial, or you will be killed without mercy!"

Underworld

"Sir, what should I do?"

The judge looked at King Biancheng with a tense expression.

From the moment Li Changsheng descended into this world, all the gods of the underworld were alarmed. Now that the Netherworld Passage has been forcibly broken open, they naturally cannot ignore Li Changsheng's orders.

"Bodhisattva, what do you think?"

King Biancheng looked grim and suddenly turned to look behind him.

"The truth has been leaked. Do you think we have any chance of survival?"

A faint figure appeared before everyone, radiating a Buddhist light that made the already eerie Yama Palace even more sinister.

"Then let's fight!"

King Biancheng gritted his teeth and said, "He's just a powerful figure from another realm. Does he really think he's some supreme immortal god?"

In the world of Liaozhai: The Great Ming Dynasty, there is no Heavenly Court. The Underworld, which governs reincarnation, is the supreme ruler. It has always been used to taking whatever it wants from the human world, so how could it really be willing to let go, let alone accept Li Changsheng's judgment?

"I will obey the decrees of Buddha and Yama!"

The gods of the underworld, who were already prepared, quickly took their places and led countless ghosts and vengeful spirits to use their magic to weave together an extremely strange and pitch-black magic array, which enveloped Li Changsheng.

"So it was also a sin created by the power of faith!"

Looking at the wisps of black energy within the magic array, invisible to ordinary people, a look of understanding flashed in Li Changsheng's eyes. He casually conjured countless profound divine runes, ignoring the obstruction of the pitch-black magic array, and with lightning speed, directly entered the foreheads of Ksitigarbha and Yama.

"What kind of sorcery is this?"

Looking at the shimmering array patterns on his forehead, yet finding nothing amiss, Ksitigarbha was immediately shocked.

"It's nothing, just a Truth-Telling Technique that allows you to tell the truth!"

Li Changsheng smiled faintly.
With his current cultivation level, it wouldn't be difficult for him to destroy the entire underworld of the Liaozhai Ming Dynasty world. However, before that, he needs to expose the ugliness of this underworld!
"You're so vicious!"

Upon hearing that they had been hit by the True Word Technique, Ksitigarbha and the others were immediately terrified and tried to struggle, but they were powerless against the vast difference in their cultivation levels.
Soon, all the creatures from Liaozhai: The Great Ming Dynasty, including the group members watching the live stream in the chat group, were enraged!

It turns out that due to the special circumstances of this realm, there are no restrictions from the Heavenly Court, and the gods of the Underworld who control reincarnation are the supreme rulers. Even if they die of old age and are reincarnated, they can quickly return and easily live for countless lifetimes, becoming eternal and indestructible beings.

Through countless cycles of reincarnation, the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva of this world has comprehended a method of cultivation using the power of faith. He uses this to forcibly deduce the laws, taint himself with the reincarnation path, and thus reach the pinnacle of this world, a level slightly superior to that of terrestrial immortals!

Logically speaking, becoming the supreme being of this realm should be enough; even if one wants to break through, one must comprehend it on their own.

However, Ksitigarbha, who was used to taking advantage of others, devised another wicked plan: to make the human world chaotic. Under fear, mortals would become more devout to the underworld and provide more faith power!
In addition, Ksitigarbha, who holds supreme power, also used this opportunity to frame people and eliminate those who tried to obstruct him. Therefore, among the Ten Kings of Hell, only King Biancheng, who was in cahoots with him, remains!
As for the Black Mountain Demon and Pudu Cihang, they are nothing more than puppet henchmen of Ksitigarbha!

Even after seeing that Li Changsheng could travel through time and descend, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva devised a wicked plan: after defeating and devouring Li Changsheng, he would sacrifice all the living beings in this world to help him become a king in a higher-level world!
