Chapter 241 Scattering Beans to Create Soldiers: Return and Completion of Rules

As the dark golden light merged into their bodies, the ghosts that had been taken into the underworld immediately changed their appearance, transforming into a group of ghost messengers and soldiers dressed in red or black uniforms.

After the transformation was completed, they began patrolling various places according to their respective duties.

If someone dies within the area covered by the underworld, ghost soldiers and messengers will come to detain them.

However, they are more like intelligent robots, only acting according to their duties and the information they are given. Their behavior is rigid and they do not know how to adapt to changing circumstances. It would be best to equip them with intelligent leaders.

However, for these low-level ghost soldiers and messengers, this is actually the best situation.

They lack the negative emotions of intelligent beings, allowing them to continue working towards the collapse of the spiritual body, or even further towards the birth of spiritual intelligence.

After the evolution of the underworld was completed, this world immediately underwent an advancement.

The energy of heaven and earth became even more concentrated. The endless energy of heaven and earth and the power of the rules poured into the underworld, causing the underworld to expand rapidly. Soon it covered the entire Gaizhou Garrison City and began to spread to the surrounding areas.

In the end, all the towns and villages around the entire area, as well as some towns and villages in neighboring Haizhouwei and other places, were also covered by the underworld.

At the same time, the spatial intensity of the underworld also increased significantly.

Although the Underworld is newly born, perhaps because this Underworld has the participation of a large amount of heaven and earth energy, its upper limit is extremely high. After this strengthening, it can at least support the Qi Refining realm.

In this world, no one can break through the underworld anymore.

As the underworld enveloped the land, boundless yin energy merged into it, making these places, which had always been gloomy and oppressive due to long-standing wars, suddenly become brighter.

Similarly, countless ghosts were forcibly transferred into the underworld by the rules of heaven and earth.

The dynasty welcomed all these ghosts and appointed them as ghost soldiers and ghost messengers.

Furthermore, due to the integration of a large amount of rule power, the Underworld has gained complete recognition from this world and has become a part of it.

Therefore, those ghost soldiers and messengers also gained recognition and were allowed to leave the area covered by the underworld to detain ghosts in other places around them.

Meanwhile, outside, as the Netherworld grew stronger, a faint layer of dark golden divine power began to rapidly expand, eventually covering an area of ​​tens or even hundreds of miles.

Within this scope, the dynasty felt that its control over the rules of heaven and earth had finally returned.

Zhang Zhaoyi and the others suddenly felt that their control over the eerie energy had reached a new level.

This is because the eerie energy has become more restrained, further reducing its corrosive and polluting effects on them.

At the same time, they felt that in that instant, their body and mind merged with heaven and earth, and a special power combined with the strange energy, essence and spirit within their bodies, suddenly contracting, condensing and evolving into a card.

A stream of information flowed into their minds, and they naturally learned about the various aspects of the card.

"Heavenly status."
Ghost Messenger Position
Person of Hades
Supernatural powers.

After receiving the information in their minds, everyone couldn't help but mutter to themselves, and finally burst into laughter and boasted.

"Hahaha, I've finally gained the approval of the Underworld Emperor and become a ghost messenger in the mortal realm!"

"Ha, I've mastered a summoning technique; I can summon ghostly soldiers and messengers from the underworld!"

"I've figured it out too."

"What I've grasped is the concept of turning beans into soldiers. Hehe."

Zhang Zhaoyi couldn't help but speak up with pride, seemingly very satisfied that the supernatural power he had comprehended was different from others.

Indeed, he was the person in this world closest to the Underworld Emperor.

"Huh? Boss, how is your 'scattering beans to create soldiers' any different from our 'summoning ghost soldiers'?"

"Um
"Hehe, 'scattering beans to create soldiers' means using beans from the human world as the core medium for the ghostly soldiers and messengers, extending their existence and enhancing their power."

"Oh, isn't that still a disguised way of summoning ghost soldiers?"

"Different"

Zhang Zhaoyi shook his head, then addressed the crowd.

"Firstly, they exist for a longer period of time, and can exert most of their power."

Also, how many ghost soldiers can you summon?

"two!"

"Three!"

"I can summon five."

Everyone spoke up, but the most they could summon was five.

Perhaps as their strength increases, the number of summons will increase again.

"Hehe, my ability to turn beans into soldiers depends on how many beans I have."

Zhang Zhaoyi said with a hint of smugness.

"What do you mean?"

At first, everyone was puzzled, but then they showed thoughtful expressions.

It depends on the amount of beans.
So, if Zhang Zhaoyi had a few hundred beans, could they turn into a few hundred ghost soldiers?

Seeing that everyone was gradually realizing what was happening, Zhang Zhaoyi couldn't help but burst into laughter and said:

"Haha, it's exactly what you think."
Of course, I can't hold hundreds of beans in one hand right now, but I can definitely hold dozens or hundreds.
Unfortunately, summoning each bean and each ghostly soldier requires a certain amount of power.

"At most, I can summon one hundred ghost soldiers."

Zhang Zhaoyi said it was a pity, but he couldn't stop smiling.

Those are a hundred Yin soldiers. Even if they can't fight a hundred against one, they can at least fight ten against one, right?
That's equivalent to a thousand elite soldiers.

Moreover, they are unlikely to die as long as their core remains intact.

Faced with such a group of elite soldiers who cannot die, let alone a thousand, even three or five thousand would probably collapse under the slaughter of the ghost soldiers.

If it were an assassination or sneak attack, the casualties would likely be even greater.

Thus, their Gaizhou Garrison City was completely safe.

Unless those Qing troops are willing to risk their lives to send a large army to besiege and suppress a small city like Gaizhou.

This is the main reason why Zhang Zhaoyi is so happy; they have finally gained a foothold in this chaotic world amidst great changes.

Just as everyone was overjoyed, someone suddenly asked a question.

"Boss, could you demonstrate it for us?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhaoyi first smiled and nodded, then couldn't help but frown slightly and said:
"It's best not to do this kind of thing casually."
Those are, after all, ghost soldiers and messengers; if we summon them carelessly, there's no guarantee that no problems won't arise.

"Yes, yes, what if we annoy those ghost soldiers and messengers and they stop responding to us when we need them?"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines; this was indeed something that needed to be considered.

As everyone was talking, Zhang Zhaoyi couldn't help but touch his pocket, and suddenly his heart skipped a beat.

He suddenly remembered that he didn't have any beans either.
Even the entire Gaizhou Garrison City might not have many beans.

These foods have probably long since ended up in someone else's stomach.

Then wouldn't his ability to turn beans into soldiers be inferior to others' simple summoning of ghost soldiers?
"Beans, beans."

Zhang Zhaoyi murmured softly, his brows furrowing slightly.

It seems he'll need to be careful about collecting beans from now on.

The underworld dynasty glanced at Zhang Zhaoyi as if sensing something, and shook its head slightly.

It can be said that he was extremely lucky, but he was still limited by stereotypes. The real ability to turn beans into soldiers is among the thirty-six great supernatural powers of the Heavenly Gang, far surpassing the seventy-two earthly arts, and is not something so inconvenient.

Of course, Zhang Zhaoyi's current ability to create soldiers from beans is definitely not as powerful as the Thirty-Six Heavenly Divine Arts; it is currently similar to the Seventy-Two Earthly Arts.

However, its upper limit is indeed the Thirty-Six Great Divine Powers of the Heavenly Gang.

For example, the beans used in the story of "scattering beans to create soldiers" – who says they have to be beans that you have to eat?

Are silver beans considered beans? Are gold beans considered beans? Even lumps of mud and pebbles, can they be considered different kinds of beans?
Even if one reaches a profound level and transforms the energy of heaven and earth from the intangible into the tangible, compressing it into a single physical point, would that count as a bean?

Its current ability to conjure soldiers from beans is merely a core component for transporting ghost soldiers and demons to the human world, and its upper limit is ultimately limited.

However, if one uses one's own spirit as a guide to evolve bean soldiers similar to clones, not only can one control them more freely, but they can also grow together with one's own growth.

Even if all else fails, one can still use their own power to refine and consecrate themselves, sealing away ghosts and spirits within, thus allowing them to grow.

It can be said that the potential for creating soldiers from beans is extremely high.

However, Zhang Zhaoyi had to figure all of this out himself, as Wang Chao did not intend to point it out.

Everyone is different; perhaps Zhang Zhaoyi can find another path?

That would be the greatest gain for the dynasty.

Why would anyone else need to go through the same steps that the dynasty could come up with? What benefit would that provide for him?
With a thought, the surrounding eerie energy rapidly converged, transforming from formless to tangible, gathering into mist, condensing into liquid, and finally solidifying into a solid.
Finally, a jet-black bead the size of a bean floated above Wang Chao's palm.

Immediately afterwards, one after another, magical runes appeared and, with a single thought from the dynasty, suddenly disappeared into the bead.

With a flick of his hand, the jet-black bead suddenly flew out.

"Om~!"

The bead vibrated instantly, twisting and expanding.

When it landed, it had already transformed into a majestic divine weapon, two meters tall, clad in full black armor, with a long black sword at its waist.

"Kaka."

He first moved his body slightly stiffly, then strode up to the dynasty and gave a sharp military salute.

"Your subordinate greets Your Majesty!"

"Go! Attack forward!"

"Yes!"

The bean soldiers, formed from the condensed eerie energy, did not hesitate at all. They quickly turned around to obey the order, their aura surging up. Surrounded by black mist, they resembled a demon god or vengeful ghost from the depths of hell.

"bass!"

The long sword was drawn, and a streak of dark light instantly pierced the sky and earth.

"Tsk~!"

A thin, dark line, starting from Doubing, stretched straight for hundreds of meters.

Those were spatial rifts that had been torn open. Although they were quickly repaired, they had ultimately broken through the Netherworld space.

Wang Chao carefully comprehended it and discovered that it had already transcended the realm of Qi Refining and could be called the Half-Step Divine Power realm.

really
Whether a person possesses supernatural powers or not depends primarily on the individual.

The bean soldiers evolved by the dynasty did not use any objects such as beans, nor did they summon souls or ghosts, yet their power had already reached the level of a half-step supernatural being.

If Zhang Zhaoyi were to perform this, not only would he need to prepare beans, but his power limit would also be restricted by the ghost soldiers and messengers.

A quick glance at those ghostly soldiers and messengers revealed that he had barely reached the Qi Refining stage. Perhaps in this world, he would be considered a highly skilled Qi Refining expert.

However, compared to the bean soldiers that dynasties could casually condense and evolve, they were still far inferior.

The ghost soldiers and messengers summoned by Zhang Zhaoyi through his bean-scattering technique may not be able to fully unleash their power, and their strength is even weaker.

In other words, some of the world's top experts are capable of fighting against or even killing the Bean Soldiers.

Of course, they could only kill the bean soldiers, not the ghost soldiers and ghost messengers.

The moment the bean soldier dies, the ghost soldiers and messengers will return to the underworld.

Seeing the bean soldier about to attack again, the dynasty immediately issued an order to stop the attack.

Then, in the blink of an eye, the thought belonging to the dynasty within Doubing's body was instantly withdrawn.

"Pfft~!"

Like a balloon that has lost its support, the bean soldier burst into boundless eerie energy and vanished.

After dispersing the bean soldiers, the dynasty began to examine the other spoils.

His gains this time far exceeded the supernatural ability to turn beans into soldiers; in fact, this could be considered his smallest gain.

As the world of this realm ascended and endless energy poured in, the rules of this realm began to open their doors to the dynasty. Many rules were drawn into the underworld and integrated into the position of the Underworld Emperor, and were also controlled by the dynasty.

Within the realm of the underworld, he could even achieve a certain degree of control over his words.

Of course, we are still weakening, weakening, and weakening the version where words become law.

At most, it can only temporarily alter celestial phenomena and influence a person's fortune.

In addition, the connection between the dynasty and the celestial realm and the underworld became clearer.

It seems that he can bring some of the power and things of this underworld back to the Heavenly Underworld.

Consequently, the dynasty began to stir with ambition.

"Um"

After a moment of contemplation, the dynasty summoned a ghostly soldier.

With a wave of his hand, he enveloped it with power. With a slight thought, the figures of the dynasty and the ghostly soldier instantly twisted and rippled, gradually blurring and disappearing.

When the distorted and fluctuating space returned to normal, the dynasty and the ghostly soldiers were no longer there.

In the underworld of the Celestial Empire, outside the City God Temple of Gaizhou Garrison, the figure of the dynasty quietly emerged.

Beside him was the same ghostly soldier from before.

Upon arriving in the Heavenly Dynasty's Underworld, his form instantly became dissipated, faintly appearing somewhat illusory.

Wang Chao glanced at it and immediately understood the reason.

This is due to the differences in the rules governing the two worlds.

Once he stays in this world for a while, he will be able to adapt and recover.

In addition, there is another method.

As the dynasty's mind returned, all the rules of heaven and earth that he had comprehended and mastered in that other world were instantly integrated into the dynasty's soul.

Today, these seemingly simple rules are easily accommodated and supported by dynasties.

After the dynasty integrated the rules of these other worlds, its power did not increase much, but the underlying rules and logic became more complete.

Subsequently, with a thought from the dynasty, this completion of the rules and logic instantly spread and merged into all the power.

The nation's destiny, the dragon's aura, the divine realm, the underworld, and even spiritual power have all been perfected to a certain extent.

In the underworld of Gaizhou City, the ghost soldiers and messengers brought back from that world by the dynasty, whose bodies had become illusory, have become solid again.

Because the rules of the Heavenly Dynasty's Underworld now encompass the rules of that world's Underworld, his body naturally recovered.
