This is so dishonest!

Chapter 303 The Great Project of Creating Ghosts, The Terrifying Underworld!

In the underworld, a blood moon hangs high.

The underworld, bathed in the frigid moonlight, is undergoing a dramatic transformation.

Looking down from the void, in that vast underworld, where the earth veins of the eight directions originate, the mountains rise and fall, like azure dragons wandering in all directions.

Among the majestic mountains, specks of fluorescent light appeared, shimmering like the scales of a blue dragon.

These are all microcosms and macrocosms that are being nurtured.

Once it has gradually taken shape, if a deity resides within it, they can naturally create their own blessed land.

Xuanqing expanded the underworld, starting with land and housing.

Even before the ghosts, gods, and immortals arrived, the great Emperor of the Underworld was already considering the treatment of his subjects.

Once they arrive, they'll definitely be given land and housing.

Because the underworld is truly vast, boundless.

However, in the past, the underworld, besides being chaotic and dark, had another characteristic—emptiness.

Before Xuanqing awoke, this place was deserted.

After he awoke, Mount Luofeng, the ancestral lineage of the underworld, officially manifested in reality.

The Yellow Springs River, the largest river in the underworld, began flowing into the netherworld from the void at that time.

Later, spider lilies bloomed on both banks of the Yellow Springs River.

All other things corresponding to the primordial land, the four seas and eight wastelands, mountains and rivers, did not formally come into being.

Therefore, strictly speaking, although the underworld has great potential, its world foundation is not enough to match the primordial land.

Even in terms of the number of deities, it cannot compare to the celestial sphere.

Although the celestial sphere is "barren," it still has local stars, and among those stars are local deities.

Unlike the underworld, which only has three proper gods at most.

Styx was a friend of Xuanqing.

Hell is a cage that Xuan Qing built himself.

Nine of the Ten Kings of Hell were prisoners captured by Xuan Qing himself.

Shen Tu and Yu Lei (the Divine Peach Tree) are door gods that Xuan Qing personally "fished" back to.

The Divine Peach Tree also comes with its own mountain range—Mount Dushuo.

It wasn't until Xuanqing reorganized the rules of the Netherworld that the three major mountain ranges of Baodu Mountain, Luofu Mountain, and Baizhong Mountain appeared.

Now, Xuanqing is making tremendous changes to the Netherworld.

He will comprehensively compare the geography of the ancient mountains and rivers, and bring to life all the things in the underworld that have never manifested.

It's not just about mountains and valleys, but also rivers, lakes, vegetation, and the four oceans.
Of course, Xuanqing also made some changes.

For example, he divided the underworld into nine regions, each containing a ghost city.

The most important one is Fengdu Ghost City.

The city has a Yama's Palace, a Street of the Dead, and a Ghost Market.
These ghost cities are connected to the myriad realms ruled by the Netherworld.

Yes, this story is called "I Have Nine Heavenly Cities".

This time, Xuanqing copied the immortal's homework.

The ghost town is now in dire need of a city lord.

There are no residents present at the moment.

But it came soon enough.

Because besides transforming all things in the underworld, Xuanqing was also doing something quite interesting.

Create ghosts!

~~~~
On the bank of Huangquan River, the waves are rolling.

Xuan Qing gazed at the river of souls, where countless souls were sinking.

He sighed, "Since reincarnation has not yet begun, I can only send you to be reborn in the myriad worlds."

"However, there is now an opportunity to get ashore."

"Hey, Xuanqing, stop being so sentimental, I can't wait any longer!" Styx sensed the commotion in the Underworld and knew that Xuanqing was up to something.

He immediately arrived in the underworld.

Once inside the Gate of Hell, he went straight to the banks of the Yellow Springs River.

The boundless mountains, nine ghost cities, and vast oceans that grow from the underworld are certainly attractive.

But what's more fun than creating things?

Moreover, there are quite a few spirits in Styx's household.

In that boundless sea of ​​blood, countless souls and vengeful spirits are lost within.

Although the Blood Sea keeps rising due to Styx's reckless actions, theoretically there will never be a day when the Blood Sea is filled with souls and resentment.

But Styx also wanted a change of scenery for his home!
It can create all kinds of ghosts based on the spirits and vengeful spirits, and at the same time clean up its own home.

How good!

Moreover, there is one very important point—ghost immortals!
In the past, the Styx River had always intended to allow living beings to become ghost cultivators after death, and then cultivate ghost immortals.

Now that Xuanqing wants to create ghosts, aren't these ghosts ready-made ghost cultivators?

"Let's do it!"

Meng Wuyou excitedly took a bowl and scooped up a bowl of Yellow Springs River water.

The water is tainted with resentment.

"Mere resentment, nothing to worry about!" Wangchuan blew a breath, and the resentment of the soul disappeared.

The soul also dispersed.

Meng Wuyou: "."

Wangchuan: "."

The tea tree next to it was laughing heartily.

"Xiao Cha, lend me some tea leaves!"

Wangchuan caught the smirking Xiaocha and, after picking and choosing, selected a few special tea leaves.

He waved his hand in the air, and a large pot, a large ladle, and a stove appeared.

"Making ghosts? Bulk orders get preferential rates!"

The River of Oblivion drew a pot of water from the Yellow Springs River, which contained countless souls.

Wait until he ignites the divine fire.

The mutilated souls began to wail.

It was horrific. "Good, there's movement!"

Wangchuan was overjoyed: "Spirituality is being born, and wisdom will also emerge!"

"If you can get through this period, you will definitely be able to go ashore and become members of the Oni race!"

Wangchuan was engrossed in creating ghosts, endlessly boiling souls and having a great time.

The way this ghost was being created left the little tea tree standing nearby stunned.

Ghosts are spiritual beings, born from heaven and earth, belonging to the earthly realm.

By comparing, analyzing, and creating ghosts, they are also comparing, analyzing, and comprehending the Way of the Earth.

It has to be said that this is a very interesting and meaningful thing.

"I succeeded!" Xuan Qing was quick to act; he created a ghost with sentience.

Everyone looked at the ghost created by Xuan Qing with great curiosity.

This ghost is quite different from ordinary ghosts; it doesn't have much of a violent aura, but rather a sense of holiness.

Other ghosts are all eerie and terrifying.

The one created by Xuanqing alone possessed a faint divine quality, giving people a sense of grandeur and majesty.

This is truly... utterly terrifying!
"From today onwards, you are a new ghost. I need to give your kind a name. Hmm... how about we call you the Mighty Ghost!"

Xuanqing solemnly named the new ghost.

“Xuanqing, you arrogant ghost…” Minghe and the others stopped what they were doing and began to study the new ghost together. The more they studied it, the brighter the light in their eyes became.

Soon after.

"I did it too!"

Wangchuan was overjoyed and pushed the ghosts he had created in front of everyone. There were a great many of them, a total of 1,607.

"The ghosts I created are naturally associated with wind and can manipulate wind magic! I've named them."

"Wind Demon?" the little tea tree blurted out.

"No!"

Wangchuan shook his head and said firmly, "They should be called: Night Spirits - Shadow Dancers of the Void!"

The little tea tree was completely stunned: "Does this have anything to do with the wind?"

"That's all right!"

Wangchuan laughed smugly, "I am the creator, I can call you whatever I want."

"I succeeded too!"

Styx eagerly introduced, "This ghost I created is born to kill, it was born to kill, and I named it the Rakshasa Ghost!"

Sure enough, his ghost bared its fangs and claws, exuding a murderous aura.

"My ghost is called the Qi-Eating Ghost. It feeds on the Qi of heaven and earth and can travel between the earth's veins." Meng Wuyou also succeeded. The ghost she created was not so violent. Instead, it looked righteous and peaceful.

"Shall we continue?" Xuanqing asked with a smile.

"Of course we'll continue!"

Thus, a host of ghosts were born.

Ox-headed demon, horse-faced demon, day-wandering ghost, night-wandering ghost, celestial fiend, blood-devouring demon, cursed demon...

It's quite normal to name ghosts Xuanqing, Minghe, and Wuyou.

Because they only created a small number of new ghosts; most of the ghosts were created based on the ghosts that already existed in the various realms of heaven and earth.

The naming method of Wangchuan is rather unconventional.

He named each pot of ghosts as he pleased.

For example: Deathwing, The Nameless Lament, Frostmourne, and the Apostle of Doomsday.
If these ghosts were to become law enforcers in the underworld one day, what would they say when announcing names?

"I am the Spirit of the Night, the Shadow Dancer of the Void, sent by Lord Yama to capture you!"

"The apostles of Judgment are here! Evil spirits, do not flee!"

It's actually quite interesting to think about.

Therefore, when Xuanqing continued to create ghosts, he referenced the virtual ghost races in the Spirit Realm to some extent.

He recreated various ghosts, including gluttons, stingy ghosts, crybabies, happy ghosts, and unlucky ghosts.

"A proper ghost messenger with an unconventional name; it'll be quite interesting how the underworld catches criminals in the future!"

Xuanqing and his group created the ghosts for three reasons: first, to salvage some souls and bring them ashore; second, to replenish the ghost city by bringing in some original inhabitants; and third, to expand the base of ghost immortals.

So this time, a total of 108 types of ghosts were created, resulting in a massive ghost race.

Incidentally, Xuanqing also provided these ghosts with cultivation scriptures unique to their own kind.

Of course, there are also scriptures that are universally applicable.

The Fengdu Laws and Decrees and the Ghost Immortal Strategies.

These two scriptures, one follows the path of ghosts and spirits, and the other follows the path of ghosts and immortals.

Although the methods of cultivation differ, they all lead to the same goal: to attain the Dao fruit.

Besides these ghosts who have come ashore, once the great transformation of the underworld is completed, there will be a continuous stream of ghosts, immortals, and deities from all the heavens and myriad realms ascending to the underworld.

The underworld will become lively then.

"These are just the first steps."

Xuanqing looked down at the primordial land: "When the great calamity begins, countless living beings and gods will die or be injured. This is the time for my underworld to 'save the dying and heal the wounded'."

As for how to save lives and heal the wounded.

Don't ask about that in detail.

The underworld has its own methods of salvation.

It doesn't matter what ethnicity you belonged to during your lifetime.

After death, everyone becomes a ghost.

They are all under the jurisdiction of the Underworld Emperor.

Moreover, the benefits are very good.

Land and housing were allocated, jobs were assigned, and there were upward mobility opportunities through spiritual practice.

You could say that even if you die, you can still go ashore; it's like changing your way of life!
The underworld sounds terrifying, doesn't it?

P.S.: Hot Cheese: The "Small Worlds" in this story are not just a single small world. "Small" refers to the level, and "thousand" refers to the quantity. It is a collection of at least a thousand small worlds. It could even go up to tens of millions, hundreds of billions, or trillions. In any case, it's all "thousands," so it can definitely house countless ghosts.

The same principle applies to the vast world.
