I am submissive in Journey to the West, I strike hard at the gods

Chapter 139: King Qin Guang's Ghost Judgement Hall

Master Xuandu sighed, "I understand. Take me to the underworld to have a look."

Under the guidance of the Prison Emperor, Jiang Wang and his disciple visited the underworld of the world of Shrouding the Sky.

To put it bluntly, the underworld in the world of Shrouding the Sky is littered with corpses.

These bones are what are left behind after the death of countless creatures in the universe of Shrouding the Sky.

Apart from these things, the underworld is filled with gloomy atmosphere.

After reading it, Jiang Wang had only one sentence:

The underworld? Nothing.

At this time, Master Xuandu sent a message to Jiang Wang: "Disciple, this place is not suitable."

"Master, I've told you that the underworld of the Shrouding Heaven Universe is nothing."

"No, what the master means is that although this place is not good, we can improve it and make it work."

"Master, if we convert your realm, you are an Immortal Emperor in this world, and you can also shine the light on the heavens. How about you create a reincarnation?"

Jiang Wang suggested.

The great master Xuandu smiled and said:

"Master doesn't do such things. Master specializes in teaching. However, Master does have a candidate who can help."

"Master, the one you are talking about cannot be..."

When Jiang Wang thought of a suitable person to manage the underworld, his first reaction was to think of the great god Hou Tu, who was deep in the underworld and never participated in any disputes in the ancient times.

"Yes, that's the one."

Master Xuandu laughed and said, "In the entire prehistoric world, is there anyone who knows how to govern the underworld better than that person?"

"Indeed not."

Jiang Wang nodded.

To put it simply, the underworld of the ancient times is the continuous expansion of the six realms of reincarnation.

The entire underworld is based on the six realms of reincarnation.

"But, Master, can you please the Queen Mother Hou Tu?"

Jiang Wang was curious.

The Queen Mother Hou Tu doesn't care much about the affairs of the ancient times.

But no matter what, there are creatures everywhere who believe in Hou Tu Niangniang.

Back then, the Wu Clan wiped out all the tribes in the ancient world and left behind a famous saying: Anyone who is not a Wu Clan member is the Wu Clan's flesh and blood food.

All races call the witch clan demons.

After the chaos of the ancient world, all races drove the Wu clan to Uttarakuru, leaving them to fend for themselves.

However, all the races have never shown the slightest disrespect to Hou Tu, the goddess who came from the Wu clan.

There is no other reason.

The goddess Hou Tu transformed herself into a reincarnation and found a home for all living beings in the prehistoric world.

They say that flowers are not flowers and fog is not fog.

The creatures that have been reborn through the six realms of reincarnation are no longer the same as before, but this is not absolute, because the pursuit of Tao by the creatures in the ancient times is eternal and unchanging.

The path of sentient beings in pursuit of the truth will not change, no matter if they reincarnate once, twice, ten times, or a hundred times.

Who would dare to be jealous of Hou Tu Niangniang who has made such a great contribution to all living beings in the ancient world?

When a saint sees the goddess Hou Tu, he would call her "fellow Taoist".

When the Great Celestial Master sees the Goddess Hou Tu, he also calls her "Senior Sister".

Such status.

Jiang Wang doubted whether his master could invite the Queen Mother Hou Tu.

After all, in terms of status, Master Xuandu is one generation lower than Hou Tu Niangniang.

But in the ancient times, seniority is not important, unless one is a disciple of the three religions. If one is outside, there is not so much emphasis on this aspect.

When seeing the Buddha, Jiang Wang could also call him fellow Taoist.

Of course, whether Lingshan would be jealous of him is another matter. Jiang Wang estimated that the possibility was not high.

In a sense, he is the Buddha's nephew, and the other party has no reason to argue with him.

"Hey, I'm not going to ask for help from the Queen Mother of Earth myself."

Master Xuandu is very irresponsible.

"Disciple, you go."

Jiang Wang: “?”

The Prison Emperor had no idea what the two people in front of him were communicating about.

He only understood that he couldn't afford to offend either of the two people in front of him.

"Gentlemen, what trouble do you have?"

The Prison Emperor thought about it and finally asked a question.

As for whether the two people in front of him would pay attention to him, that was their business, not his, the Prison Emperor’s business.

Why not get closer if you can?

Although the Prison Emperor did not believe that anyone could cause trouble to these two gentlemen.

The existence of that person who is comparable to the emperor is enough to solve all problems.

"Nothing." Master Xuandu glanced at the Prison Emperor and said only this: "Don't do evil in the underworld in the future, otherwise you should know the consequences."

"Yes, sir."

The Prison Emperor hurriedly said, "From now on, the Underworld will be entirely under the control of the Master. I have no complaints."

"No, I don't call the shots in the underworld."

Master Xuandu's words made the Emperor of the Prison feel uneasy.

At first glance, you can tell that this person is easy to talk to.

If a new being comes to rule the underworld, what if that being is difficult to get along with?
The Prison Emperor doesn't want to die in obscurity one day.

The Great Master Xuandu seemed to see the difficulties of the Emperor of the Prison, but he just smiled and said nothing.

If the Prison Emperor still has second thoughts after knowing his origins and strength, the Grand Master doesn't really care whether he lives or dies in the future.

As a master, he just wanted to leave some power for his disciple.

After all, as Jiang Wang opened up more and more worlds, the great wizard knew that he would definitely not stay in the world of Zhutian forever.

The way of education is too difficult.

I don’t know how much time it will take to pursue the mystery of the great way.

You have to go all out and use up all your energy to achieve this.

So Master Xuandu actually felt a little guilty towards Jiang Wang.

That is, he accepted Jiang Wang as his disciple. Although he was optimistic about Jiang Wang's future, he also took advantage of Jiang Wang to some extent.

If Jiang Wang's safety is not taken care of, it would be difficult for him to pursue the illusory path.

Master Xuandu ignored the Prison Emperor.

The Prison Emperor stood aside awkwardly.

"Disciple, go back and find your master and ask him to tell you how to find the Queen Mother Hou Tu."

Master Xuandu gave an order.

Jiang Wang knew he couldn't escape this mission and nodded.

"Then Master, I will go back first. Please explain the Dao to them in the underworld."

"Go ahead and say hello to the Queen Mother Hou Tu for me." Master Xuandu waved his hand.

Jiang Wang returned to the primitive universe.

Because of the matter of the Star God, the Heavenly General blocked Jiang Wang, who had just returned to the prehistoric world, in his own palace.

Jiang Wang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

The conflicts among the Star Gods have not yet fully intensified.

Zhao Gongming and other righteous gods are not in a hurry, but you, a heavenly general, are anxious.

To put it in the words of the mortal world, it is the eunuchs who are anxious when the emperor is not.

"Fellow Daoist, there is no need to do this."

Jiang Wang comforted him, "I believe our fellow Taoists are much more experienced than us in this matter, so don't worry too much."

"But fellow Daoist..."

The general had a bitter face.

He was the one who led this matter, and generally speaking, he made a great contribution if it really came to that.

Seeing the credit right before his eyes, it would be strange if he wasn't anxious.

"No buts, fellow Taoist, you have to trust us."

"Ok."

The general nodded helplessly.

There was nothing he could do.

If he had a solution, he wouldn't have come to Jiang Wang.

"By the way, fellow Taoist, where are you going in such a hurry?" The heavenly general was curious again.

Jiang Wang pointed in the direction of Tushita Palace.

The general understood immediately.

"Got it, then I won't bother you anymore."

The general knew that Jiang Wang had something important to do, so he stopped pestering him and left after saying goodbye.

Jiang Wang did not try to persuade him to stay and went towards the Tushita Palace.

Tushita Palace.

Jiang Wang bowed respectfully to Laojun.

"I've met the ancestor."

"No need to be polite."

Laojun fanned the palm-leaf fan in his hand.

"What are you here for?"

Jiang Wang said: "Ancestor, I am here for the Queen Mother Hou Tu."

"Hou Tu." Laojun smiled and said, "Just go straight there. She is deep in the cycle of reincarnation."

"Grandmaster, I am just a junior, is it okay for me to just go there empty-handed?"

"What's wrong?"

Laojun waved his hand and said, "Junior Sister Hou Tu may not need that illusory opportunity, but she is the Lord of Reincarnation and the ancestor of the Wu Clan after all, so you can go with peace of mind."

"Hasn't Empress Hou Tu severed her ties with the Wu Clan?"

Jiang Wang was curious.

During the war between the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan, because Queen Hou Tu did not take action, the Witch Clan's fighting power was seriously unbalanced, and in the end they perished together with the Demon Clan.

The demon clan was beaten to pieces.

The ancestors and great wizards of the wizard clan are almost extinct.

From then on, the Lich withdrew from the prehistoric stage.

It can be said that if Hou Tu Niangniang had not attained enlightenment beside the sea of blood at that time, but had gone to the battlefield of liches to fight with the demons.

It is hard to say who will win the final battle between the two races of liches.

"Dissociate?"

Laojun seemed to have thought of something and laughed.

"There is no such thing as separation or not. Junior Sister Hou Tu has seen through everything. The withdrawal of the two tribes of witches and liches from the prehistoric stage has long been an established fact. If she persists in her delusion, it will only lead to the doom of the witch tribe."

"If Junior Sister Hou Tu didn't know the current situation and participated in the war between wizards and liches, the consequence would be the annihilation of the entire wizard clan. How could there be a wizard clan today?"

There seems to be something wrong with what Laojun said.

"Grandmaster, did you make a mistake?"

"Something went wrong."

"The Wu Clan has now been driven to Northern Juluzhou. It is time for the clan to be destroyed. In a few years, it will be a question whether the Wu Clan will still exist."

"You've got one thing wrong again." Laojun waved his palm-leaf fan, "Where did you hear about the Wu Clan? Who told you that the Wu Clan is all in Northern Juluzhou? Did those Yin Marshals in the underworld just appear out of thin air?"

"Aren't the Yinshuai of the underworld promoted from the Yin souls?"

"Haha, in the prehistoric world, cause and effect are important. How can there be so many good things waiting for ordinary ghosts to take?"

Laojun laughed as if he heard something funny.

"Okay, you, hurry to the underworld. If you feel uneasy alone, call the guy at the door. He is also a person who can't sit still."

Laojun pointed to the gate of Tushita Palace.

Jiang Wang knew who he was talking about. The person guarding the gate of Tushita Palace was his best friend.

In order to avoid suspicion, the two of them did not come to the Tushita Palace at the same time, but arrived one after the other.

Jiang Wang shook his head: "Forget it, Master. Fellow Daoist still needs to protect the safety of Tushita Palace. I'd better not disturb him."

"Who do I need to guard my Tushita Palace? Forget it, since you want to go to the underworld alone, then go ahead."

Laojun casually said: "But when you pass by the Eighteen Layers of Hell, don't have any compassion. You must remember that all the creatures who suffer in the Eighteen Layers of Hell have committed serious sins in their lives. Do you understand?"

"I understand, Grandmaster."

"Go."

Laojun waved the palm-leaf fan in his hand, and the next moment, Jiang Wang had already landed outside the Nine Heavens and walked out of the South Gate of Heaven.

Jiang Wang was stunned.

Then he smiled bitterly.

The methods used by saints sometimes made him really envious.

With a casual wave of his hand, he sent him out of the sky.

Now he is going to the underworld.

The underworld is actually underground.

There is nothing wrong with this.

However, unlike what ordinary people understand as underground, the "underground" in the underworld is the underworld.

Without special opportunities, mortals cannot reach the gate of the underworld.

Generally, if immortals want to go to the underworld without permission, they have to go through some troublesome steps.

Especially those immortals, if they want to go to the underworld, they really have to use all their connections and various means to have a chance.

Otherwise, the underworld won’t care who you are and will just not let you in.

Jiang Wang was not clear about this matter when he first came to the prehistoric world.

In his impression, the underworld is a place where people come and go.

If Sun Wukong can enter, why can’t other great gods enter?

Later, I learned from various sources that it turned out that only Monkey King dared to enter without any scruples. Other immortals and gods did not have that ability, nor did they have that identity and background.

If every immortal god was like Sun Wukong, wouldn’t the underworld be in chaos?
The Monkey King made a big fuss in the underworld because the Queen Mother Hou Tu was kind-hearted. In addition, it was a great calamity on the journey to the west, and Buddhism was about to flourish. The Queen Mother Hou Tu wanted to gain countless merits through this calamity, and she did not want to make it difficult for the gods to do their job, so she allowed the Monkey King to show off his power in the underworld.

Erlang Shen Yang Jian in heaven and the monkey are evenly matched in fighting. Is there no one in the underworld who is comparable to Erlang Shen?
Have!
There are gods and immortals in the underworld who are more powerful than Yang Jian.

Jiang Wang didn't understand at first.

Now he understands.

Laojun said something.

Let him understand that the Wu clan is not all fools in Uttarakuru.

A large number of witches work in the underworld.

What kind of ethnic group is the Wu clan?

This ethnic group once killed all the ancient tribes and called them the demons.

One can imagine how powerful the Wu clan is.

Such a race, working in the underworld in an honest manner, even if there are not a few great wizards, it is not a place where Wukong can act recklessly.

Come to the underworld.

Jiang Wang has seen many evil spirits, including the Black and White Impermanence, the Golden Shackles and Silver Locks, the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons, etc.

When these Yin generals saw Jiang Wang, they all called him fellow Taoist and had no intention of stopping him.

"Wait, fellow Taoist."

It’s just that Jiang Wang needs some reaction from these evil generals!

How can he find Hou Tu Niangniang if there is no response?
"What's the matter with fellow Taoist?"

Jin Zhan Yin Suo, who was stopped, looked at Jiang Wang with a confused look.

Jiang Wang was even more confused than them.

What happened to the strict guards in the underworld?

Why didn't anyone ask him why he came?
Even when they saw him, they would just say "Hello, fellow Taoist" and leave.

"My two Taoist friends, I would like to ask where the Queen Mother Hou Tu is now. I have something important to ask her."

"Empress Hou Tu?" The golden shackles and silver locks looked at each other in bewilderment.

After a while, Jin Jia suddenly realized something and said, "You must be talking about Lady Ping Xin, right? The title of Lady Hou Tu is rarely used by ordinary people anymore."

"It is Empress Pingxin."

It turns out that the underworld now calls Hou Tu Niangniang "Ping Xin Niangniang"?

Isn’t it said that Niangniang Pingxin is the benevolent corpse of Hou Tu Niangniang?

Could it be that the underworld today actually exists based on the good corpse of the future Earth Goddess?

As for the real Hou Tu Niangniang, she is studying the Tao somewhere.

"You've come to the right person if you ask Lady Pingxin."

Yinsuo dragged his silvery chain and said with a smile, "Empress Pingxin lives in seclusion in the depths of the underworld, deeper than the eighteen levels of hell. If you want to find her, go there."

"My two Taoist friends, is there anything special about passing through the Eighteen Layers of Hell?"

Jiang Wang always kept in mind the master's instructions before he left.

Now that he had met two people from the underworld, he certainly had to ask them clearly.

"What are the rules for passing through the Eighteen Layers of Hell?" Jinzha laughed, "What are the rules? Just don't feel pity for the ghosts being punished."

"Could it be that the immortals and gods passing through the Eighteen Points Hell would easily feel sympathy for those ghosts?"

"That's natural."

The golden shackles and silver locks said in unison: "Daoyou, do you know the difference between the passage of time in the underworld and the world of the living?"

The passage of time in the underworld and the world of the living is different.

Jiang Wang was very clear about this.

If the time ratio between the world where mortals live and the heaven is one day in heaven to one year on earth, then the time ratio between the underworld and the world of the living is even more exaggerated.

One day in the underworld is half a century in the world of the living, which is fifty years.

And this time ratio refers to the ratio between the underworld above the eighteen levels of hell and the world of the living.

With each level of the Eighteen Levels of Hell, the time ratio increases significantly.

At first glance, the ghosts and monsters being punished in the eighteenth level of hell have only been punished for a dozen years (in the world of the living), but in fact they have been in the underworld for tens of thousands of years or even longer.

Therefore, the ghosts suffering in the eighteen levels of hell are all so miserable and pitiful.

Especially in the lower levels of hell, the suffering ghosts are more pitiful.

But this is just pitiful.

As the saying goes, there is always something hateful about a pitiful person.

The ghosts and monsters who suffer in the eighteen levels of hell all have vicious lives.

The Ten Kings of Hell sentenced them to suffer punishment for a reason.

However, humans are not plants or trees and so who can be heartless?

Even an immortal would feel sympathy and pity when seeing the miserable situation in hell.

Jiang Wang suddenly understood what Laojun had said to him before he set out.

It seems impossible not to feel pity when passing by the eighteen levels of hell.

"Two Yin Marshals, can you please lead the way for me?"

Jiang Wang said towards the golden shackles and silver locks.

Golden Shackles and Silver Locks is the second of the Ten Yin Generals.

In earthly legends, the four evil spirits that often appear are the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Devil, and the Black and White Impermanence.

Golden shackles and silver chains are not well-known in the mortal world.

But in fact, the status of the golden shackles and silver locks is higher than that of the Ox-Head and Horse-Face and the Black and White Impermanence.

In the underworld, these two are called the Third Master and the Fourth Master.

The only ones at the top of the list are the civil and military judges.

However, there is a lack of civil and military judges now.

It is said that he went to the mortal world to experience hardships.

In other words, Golden Shackles and Silver Locks are nominally the two highest-ranking ones among the Ten Yin Marshals.

If I could get help from these two, passing through the eighteen levels of hell wouldn't be a problem.

I don’t know whether they are willing or not.

After all, he is the Yin Shuai and is very busy.

The golden shackles and silver locks looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Fellow Daoist, it's not that my two brothers are unwilling to help you."

Yinsuo said: "It's true that we two brothers are powerless."

Jin Jia also nodded in agreement: "Fellow Daoist, you have great fortune and are blessed with many purple auras. My brother and I should have lent you a helping hand, but the underworld has its own rules. If you want to see Lady Pingxin, you have to come by yourself."

"Rules of the underworld?"

"Yes, anyone who wants to see Empress Pingxin needs to go to her residence on their own."

The golden shackles and silver locks said in unison: "My brothers have already said too much, please don't blame me, fellow Taoist."

Say it.

The golden shackles and silver locks turned and walked into the darkness, disappearing silently.

Jiang Wang was speechless.

Two brothers.

I don't blame you!

Tell me more about it.

The Heaven and Earth are the greatest beings in the world except for the saints.

The Great Heavenly Master was very amiable when they met several times and also gave Jiang Wang many benefits, so Jiang Wang was not afraid of him.

But the person he was going to meet this time was Hou Tu Niangniang, whom he had never seen before. He felt a little uneasy.

After much difficulty, two fellow Taoists came to help explain, but they just ran away!
Jiang Wang's mentality was a little exploded.

But there is nothing we can do right now.

Let's go down.

To go to the Eighteen Levels of Hell, you must first go to the Hall of Yama.

The Ten Yama Palaces are in charge of different hells.

It is said that the Yama in the first hall was originally King Yama himself.

However, King Yama is kind-hearted and often helps ghosts who died of resentment, which disrupts the order of the underworld.

In order to restrain that pity, he took the initiative to change from the First Hall to the Fifth Hall.

Each of the eighteen levels of hell is an infinite world.

However, those living in these big worlds are not kind people.

Living here are evil ghosts from the underworld and ghosts who have already received punishment.

As he entered the first level of hell, Jiang Wang felt uncomfortable.

He is a true immortal.

True immortals can already block out most of the things that seem unpleasant.

But when he stepped into the first level, the resentment from countless living beings still made Jiang Wang very uncomfortable.

Even if the punished ghosts deserved their punishment, it is impossible that most ghosts did not do any good deeds during their lifetime.

Therefore, these ordinary ghosts feel aggrieved.

The complaint of one ghost is not a big deal, but when thousands or even hundreds of millions of ghosts wail together, the injustice begins to materialize.

Each of the eighteen levels of hell has its own ruler.

The King of Hell in the First Hall, Qin Guangwang, does not preside over any specific hell.

He is in charge of the Ghost Judgement Hall.

As the name suggests, it is a palace that specializes in recording the births and deaths of humans, guiding people to be reborn, and managing the good and bad fortune of the underworld.

The Ghost Judgement Hall was once presided over by King Yama, but King Yama's judgments often made him fall into the double torment of conscience and rules.

So he took the initiative to change his position.

Jiang Wang passed by the Ghost Judge Hall and did not visit King Qin Guang.

A king of hell like King Qin Guang has a lot of affairs to deal with every day, so Jiang Wang naturally wouldn't embarrass himself.

After saying goodbye to the Ghost Judgement Hall, Jiang Wang continued to walk deeper into the underworld. After walking for an unknown amount of time, he felt that there seemed to be some changes around him.

Looking closely, in the endless gloomy sky, it seemed as if there were turbulent waves constantly surging from the sky.

It is rumored that when the Eighteen Levels of Hell first appeared, they had a deep connection with the four seas. I didn’t expect this to be true.

That means he has now reached the eighteenth level of hell.

This should be the first level of the Eighteen Levels of Hell.

Living in hell!

Under the Great Hell of Living Beings, there are sixteen Small Hells.

These are the small hells of black clouds and sand, excrement and urine mud, etc.

Just as he walked a little deeper, Jiang Wang's ears were filled with cries of grievance.

As an immortal god, he can naturally block out insensitivity and keep himself unaffected.

But he didn't think much about it.

Judging from what Jinjia Yinsuo said, there must have been quite a few people who came to see Hou Tu Niangniang in the past.

What would happen if everyone who came to see Hou Tu Niangniang wanted to block their five senses?
Passing through the eighteen levels of hell itself represents a test.

How can you see Hou Tu if you can't pass the test?
It’s just like meeting the Great Celestial Lord.

But how can we meet the Great Heavenly Venerable at the South Heaven Gate?

So blocking the five senses is a very stupid thing to do.

This means that Jiang Wang is not asking for help sincerely.

If he is disliked by the Queen Mother Hou Tu, then what is the point of him coming to the underworld.

Isn’t it a waste of effort to come here?

So Jiang Wang not only did not block his five senses, but also listened patiently to the ghost's cries.

However, Jiang Wang kept in mind what Laojun told him before he left.

He just listens and never thinks.

Because once you think about it, you will be affected by the cries of ghosts.

Being affected by ghosts is not a big deal for immortals and gods.

But hundreds of millions of ghosts is a big problem.

That's karma!

Which immortal or god dares to be entangled in karma?
This thing has no merit and it is difficult to eliminate.

Even though Jiang Wang had many treasures that could suppress his luck, he did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

The first level of hell made Jiang Wang nervous.

As you continue walking down, more and more ghosts will be punished.

That's a sure thing.

And there are also levels of hell.

The deeper one goes into hell, the heavier the punishment the ghosts receive.

One big hell after another.

Each big hell is divided into different small hells.

There are different punishments in different small hells.

The punished ghosts sink in these hells.

Jiang Wang passed through each level of hell, and every time he passed, the pressure he felt became greater.

Fortunately, he had the Linglong Tower of Mysterious Heaven and Earth given by his ancestor.

With the pagoda on him, even if Jiang Wang does not actively use it, the pagoda will protect him and will not let him be maliciously harassed.

"Thanks, babe."

Jiang Wang silently said thank you to the Chaotiandi Xuanhuang Linglong Tower.

The treasures on him actually have their own consciousness, but they are very "well-behaved" and will never actively reveal their own will.

In the hands of a saint like Laojun, the greatest treasure is the tool.

But in the hands of an ordinary True Immortal like Jiang Wang, the treasure is no longer just an instrument.

You have to worship it seriously. Even if you can't serve it well, you have to ensure enough respect.

Until one day, Jiang Wang's status can be compared with the treasure.

Of course, that day is still quite a long time away.

Even the Golden Immortals have to use the supreme treasure to fight the enemy. Except for the saints who use the supreme treasure, everyone below the saints has to use "please".

In addition to the Linglong Tower of Mysterious Heaven and Earth, the Chixian Ding is also protecting Jiang Wang.

The two protective treasures were afraid that Jiang Wang would get hurt, so they took the initiative to bless Jiang Wang.

Only the Four Swords of Zhu Xian remained motionless.

The Luxian Sword, which had the best relationship with Jiang Wang, circled around Jiang Wang several times in the form of a small iron sword with great interest.

This one seems to be observing scenes from the depths of hell.

"Sword of the Immortal Slayer, there's nothing to see in the depths of hell." Jiang Wang tried to persuade the Sword of the Immortal Slayer to return to his soul.

But unfortunately, the Immortal-Slaying Sword didn't want to pay attention to him.

Jiang Wang was helpless.

I could only look at the ghosts being punished with sympathy.

These strange and bizarre ghosts are suffering inhuman torture.

Words cannot describe it.

Things like oil pans and iron saws are no big deal.

Sea of fire and iceberg.

Snakes, insects, rats and ants.

The prison of eternal darkness.

One inhuman punishment after another, it's chilling even to watch.

Worse still to come.

Since the Immortal-Slaying Sword is a natural killing weapon, and like the Demon Ancestor's gun, it is a deadly object.

Any treasure that has reached the pinnacle of a certain ability is often not subject to cause and effect.

In the now missing Blood Sea Styx, he had two swords in his hands, named Avici Yuantu.

These two swords were born from the sea of blood and are the companion treasures of the ancestor of the Styx.

When it comes to the word "killing", he has achieved perfection.

Therefore, when the ancestor of the Styx uses Avici Yuantu, he will never be contaminated by karma.

Moreover, as long as these two treasures are taken out, the people around them will be suppressed by murderous aura.

When the six paths of reincarnation were born in the sea of blood, it was said that the ancestor of the Styx once tried to stop the goddess Hou Tu.

But it ultimately failed.

But the ancestor of the Styx is not a stupid person.

Since you can't stop it, just join it!

Therefore, the ancestor of the Styx asked the Shura clan under his command to join the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

This is also why there is an Asura path among the six paths of reincarnation.

The Shura Path actually replaced one of the Six Paths, but what that replaced is no longer known.

Jiang Wang speculated that when Hou Tu Niangniang created the six realms of reincarnation, she might have thought of leaving a way out for the witch clan.

So the one that was replaced should be the witchcraft.

Of course these are all speculations.

As a weapon of killing, Avici Yuantu is extremely lethal to ghosts in the six realms of reincarnation.

When the six realms of reincarnation were first established, the Styx was located in the Sea of Blood. It was said that as long as the Sea of Blood was immortal, the Styx would be immortal.

As time went by, Hou Tu Niangniang discovered that the souls of the living were often destroyed.

After careful investigation, they found out that it was the two killing treasures of Avici and Yuantu, and the invisible aura they emitted destroyed those souls.

Helplessly, Hou Tu Niangniang could only ask the ancestor of the Styx to leave.

Now, the ancestor of the Styx and his sea of blood have long disappeared, and no one knows where they have gone.

The old man of the Styx who once dominated the ancient world disappeared from the sight of the world.

Not even many legends remain.

Of course, Jiang Wang didn’t want to know the whereabouts of the ancestor of the Styx.

Instead, he felt that the Immortal-Slaying Sword looked down upon the ghosts in the underworld too much.

Avici Yuantu is a supreme treasure, which is at least one or two levels lower than the Four Swords of Zhu Xian.

Even so, the aura that Avici Yuantu unconsciously emitted also caused the living soul to collapse.

How could those ghosts endure the appearance of the Immortal-Slaying Sword?
Not to mention the ghosts who were being punished, even the underworld's messengers showed fear when they saw the Immortal-Slaying Sword.

They stared at Jiang Wang, begging him to take back the Immortal-Slaying Sword.

Jiang Wang was helpless.

He stared at the Immortal-Slaying Sword and said in a gentle voice, "Please return my soul, my dear. The ghosts here cannot bear the murderous aura."

People are afraid of ghosts for three points, and ghosts are afraid of people seven points.

More than half of the seven parts of fear are caused by the bloody evil spirit.

Ghosts often avoid people like soldiers and pig butchers in the mortal world because they carry murderous aura.

The swaggering Sword of Killing Immortals is like a small nuclear reactor, the kind that keeps leaking.

How can I not be afraid of the underworld's evil spirits!
The Immortal-Slaying Sword waved reluctantly beside Jiang Wang, fully demonstrating its dissatisfaction.

But baby still gave face to Jiang Wang.

Finally, he retreated into Jiang Wang's soul to cultivate.

After taking away the Immortal-Slaying Sword, Jiang Wang continued to walk down.

The structure of the underworld is very strange.

Like a ball! Or like an irregular cube.

If there were no particularly conspicuous signs, ordinary immortals and gods would probably get dizzy when coming here.

After walking through one palace after another, Jiang Wang finally arrived at the Hell of Screaming, which was ruled by King Yama.

Among the ten kings of hell, the one Jiang Wang most wants to meet is King Yama.

The origins of King Yama are mysterious.

Not much time passed between the time the Six Paths of Reincarnation appeared in the hands of Hou Tu Niangniang and the establishment of the underworld.

During this period, the war between the wizards and the liches came to an end, and the entire prehistoric world was in chaos.

In other words, King Yama suddenly appeared in the underworld.

No origin at all!

For no reason!

He just appeared in the underworld like this.

The other nine Yama Kings all have important backgrounds.

Only King Yama has no origin.

But there is no time now.

I also have to visit Hou Tu Niangniang.

King Yama can only visit Hou Tu Niangniang first.

What Jiang Wang didn't expect was that he didn't go to visit King Yama.

The King of Hell came to find him.

"I've met Taoist friends."

King Yama is dressed in black clothes and has a ferocious face.

But his tone was kind.

"Daoyou, are you going to look for the Queen Mother Hou Tu?"

"Exactly."

Jiang Wang nodded: "I wonder if King Yama has any advice for you?"

In stark contrast to his ferocious expression, King Yama is dressed quite solemnly.

He wore a crown with tassels on his head, earmuffs with incense bags on both sides, a long robe with a lotus leaf collar and wide sleeves, boots on his feet, and held a hu tablet in front of his chest with both hands.

"Guidance is out of the question."

King Yama said kindly: "My fellow Taoist has come to the underworld. As a member of the underworld, I should entertain you."

Jiang Wang remained silent.

He didn't see King Yama when he first came.

I have walked through several levels of hell, passed through countless small hells, and now I come out to entertain...

It doesn't feel right no matter how I look at it.

Jiang Wang was secretly complaining in his heart.

He could understand the behavior of Jinshake and Yinsuo.

Come up and ask about the situation first, then don't get entangled and just say goodbye and leave.

This is the behavioral logic that a normal Yin God should have.

After all, he is an immortal god from heaven.

On the surface, the underworld and heaven are one system, but in fact the relationship between the two is so complicated that it is difficult to talk about them together.

This is also the reason why immortal gods and yin gods rarely interact with each other.

Unless absolutely necessary, the gods from the two systems would hardly get together.

First, there is nothing much to say, and second, the relationship between the two sides is already tense.

They are very similar to the witch and demon clans during the great period of witch and lich catastrophe.

It is said that the witch clan controls the earth, and the demon clan controls the heaven.

Today's underworld and heaven also have some of that meaning in them.

Add to that a clan of dragons that rule the four seas, and it looks like a replica of the Lich and Sorcerer Calamity period.

Actions like golden shackles and silver locks were what Jiang Wang had expected.

The Kings of Hell in the previous halls did not take the initiative to come out to see Jiang Wang like King Yama did.

Even if Jiang Wang walked through their territory, they would not take any action.

From the perspective of strength and status, Jiang Wang and the Ten Kings of Hell are not equal at all.

Each of the Ten Kings of Hell is comparable to the Lord of Thunder.

What is Jiang Wang’s position in the Thunder Department?
He is not qualified to make the King of Hell come out to see him.

However, the ghost messengers who were punishing ghosts had several exchanges with Jiang Wang.

Those ghosts were very curious as to why Jiang Wang, an immortal, would come to such a filthy place in the underworld.

When Jiang Wang said that he was here to see the goddess Hou Tu, these ghost messengers kept silent, as if they had heard something they shouldn't have heard, and pretended to be dumb and deaf.

King Yama’s move made Jiang Wang a little confused.

He wasn't sure what King Yama meant.

If he thought that he was an opportunity like the gods in heaven, how would he respond?

He doesn't even have enough opportunities for himself, let alone his close friends, so how can he share any opportunities with others?

He is not familiar with King Yama.

Seeing Jiang Wang was silent, King Yan Luo smiled and said, "Don't panic, fellow Daoist. I know you are here to see Queen Hou Tu. I have no intention of stopping you. I just want to get to know you."

Seeing King Yama say this, Jiang Wang frowned.

"King Yama knows me?"

When did he become so famous?
Apart from being accepted as a disciple by Master Xuandu, there seems to be nothing worthy of praise about him.

It’s not like I was accepted as a disciple by Laojun!

What is there to praise?

"Haha, your name is not a secret among us Yin Gods."

King Yama seemed to have heard something funny. Seeing that Jiang Wang still looked very confused, he explained, "You were accepted as a disciple by the great master Xuandu. As the third generation disciple of the Human Sect, your name is not a secret in the Yin God. Don't you know that the Human Sect will announce it to the world after accepting a disciple?"

Jiang Wang:?
And this process?
How come he doesn't know.

The master didn’t tell him that.

Jiang Wang thought about it and his frown relaxed.

Regardless of whether what King Yama said was true or false, since the other party had said so, he had no choice but to say nothing.

Don't hit the smiling person with your hand.

"I see."

"I am being mean."

Jiang Wang smiled and said, "However, fellow Taoist, I am on my way to look for the Queen Mother Hou Tu. Time is urgent and I cannot have a heart-to-heart talk with you. I hope you will forgive me."

In the world of immortals and gods, as long as they are not from the same system, most of them interact with each other as peers.

Jiang Wang was not too afraid of King Yama and told the truth.

But King Yama doesn't care about these.

He pulled Jiang Wang and walked into the Hall of Yama.

Inside the Yama Palace, the civil and military judges saw Jiang Wang and nodded towards him.

However, the two judges did not communicate with Jiang Wang as they were busy with the matters at hand.

When the ghost messengers in the hall saw King Yama and Jiang Wang coming in, they all avoided them, as if they were afraid of something.

Jiang Wang didn't know what King Yama meant.

However, according to rumors, King Yama is a very good-tempered ghost, and he has no fear in his heart.

"Come, come, come, fellow Taoist, follow me to the side hall."

King Yama brought Jiang Wang to the side hall of Yama Palace.

There were not many objects in the side hall, only a stone table with a stone bench on each side of the table.

Tea has been placed on the stone table.

King Yama took his seat first and then stretched out his hand towards Jiang Wang.

Jiang Wang sat opposite him and took a sip of the prepared tea without waiting for King Yama to call him.

King Yama should be able to understand what this means, right?

I have something to do!
Yan Luo, if you have something to say, please do it quickly and don’t waste my time.

A smile appeared on King Yama's ferocious face: "Don't be anxious, Taoist friend. I heard something from Taoist friend Hou Tu, and I want to ask you for a small favor. Of course, this favor is not for free, and I will pay the corresponding price."

"Fellow Daoist, you tell me, I will do my best to help you."

Jiang Wang said something nice.

Help wherever you can, and do your best.

As for whether I can help, that depends on the situation.

The smile on King Yama's face remained unchanged.

"Do you know where I come from?"

This sentence left Jiang Wangwen stunned.

The origins of the gods in the underworld are very mysterious.

Jiang Wang was very clear about the origins of the great immortals.

For example, the King of Fengdu, the Lord of Mount Tai and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

There is no need to say much about Hou Tu Niangniang.

The origins of the Ten Yin Marshals are mysterious.
