This is so dishonest!

Chapter 373 The Primordial Reincarnation Emerges, Xuan Qing Digs Another Pit! [Two Chapters Combined, 6k]

In the underworld, a blood moon hangs in the sky, radiating an eerie and ancient crimson light.

Today, this blood moon seems to be tinged with a different kind of emotion.

All the ghosts and spirits in the underworld clearly felt the joy and anticipation conveyed by the will of the underworld.

"Is the Great Emperor about to restructure the order of the Underworld again?"

In the underworld, in the various ghost cities and the four chaotic seas, countless ghosts and gods gazed at the blood moon, murmuring to themselves, their voices filled with excitement and awe.

Meanwhile, outside the Primordial Realm, in the boundless myriad worlds, a ethereal deity was strolling through the void.

Wherever He goes, illusory rivers of souls will naturally appear in the void, their waters a dark yellow, carrying countless bewildered spirits.

These rivers of souls meander and flow, eventually merging silently into newly born worlds or worlds lacking reincarnation mechanisms, bringing the initial order of rebirth to those worlds.

"Eh? Is our lord about to begin constructing the primordial cycle of reincarnation?"

Wangchuan stopped and looked in the direction of the Primordial True Realm, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

"Great, I can relax for a while longer!"

As His words fell, a sudden burst of purple light appeared in the void beside Him, dazzling and illuminating the surrounding dark universe.

From within the purple light, a burly deity with a majestic face, dressed in the robes of the Nine Nether Emperor, slowly emerged.

The next moment, the deity vanished, transforming into a twelve-petaled purple lotus platform.

On the lotus platform, the runes of the Great Dao are born and die, and the Daoist rhythm of reincarnation flows endlessly.

"It's good that this journey is over, let's go back!" The lotus platform formed by the Reincarnation Purple Lotus swayed gently, emitting pleasant mental fluctuations that were transmitted to the River of Oblivion.

Looking at the purple lotus platform that exuded endless mysteries of reincarnation, Wangchuan smiled and asked:

"Next comes a crucial period for perfecting the order of the underworld and even establishing the entire primordial reincarnation system. Fellow Daoist, do you really not intend to return to being the Nine Netherworld Exorcist Heavenly Venerable?"

The petals of the Reincarnation Purple Lotus opened and closed slightly, responding leisurely: "I am originally a primordial spiritual treasure, born from heaven and earth. Now, to return to my true self and return to my origin is not a bad thing."

"When it's time to cultivate, the lotus platform form makes it easier to comprehend the Great Dao; when it's time to lie down, I can directly take root in the Netherworld, and no one can order me around."

"The Great Dao of Reincarnation can still be studied in depth, and may even be more pure than when it was under the title of Heavenly Venerable."

Samsara Purple Lotus said, "How can being a Celestial Venerable be as easy and carefree as being a Spiritual Treasure?"
Anything the Celestial Venerable can do, this top-tier innate spiritual treasure can do as long as it wants.

The things that the Celestial Venerable cannot do due to his status and the rules, his magical treasure allows him to do without any restrictions.

Back then, for the sake of the order of the underworld, he had no choice but to take on the heavy responsibility of the Nine Netherworld Exorcising Heavenly Venerable. He worked diligently and conscientiously, never having a moment of leisure.

Now that I have followed the Great Emperor and retired after achieving my goals, it is the perfect time to return to my original position as "Lingbao" and enjoy "Baosheng".

"However..." Reincarnation Purple Lotus changed the subject, and a faint purple light shone on the lotus platform.

"The Great Emperor is going to establish the Primordial Cycle of Reincarnation. This is a major event concerning the future of the entire Primordial World. As one of the bearers of the Great Dao of Reincarnation, I still have to go back and do my part to help."

The Purple Lotus of Reincarnation held a hint of solemnity in its thoughts.

The underworld, the final resting place of all spirits, is the core of the great Dao he cultivates.

During the time of the Mysterious Embryo Universe, the Reincarnation Purple Lotus single-handedly shouldered the responsibility of leading the entire Nine Netherworld Underworld.

From nothing to something, the initial cyclical order of the universe was established.

Now that the primordial cycle is about to begin, it is both a responsibility and a tremendous opportunity for him.

"The path to enlightenment begins today! Let's go, fellow Daoist!"

The Reincarnation Purple Lotus Platform trembled, unleashing boundless purple light that enveloped the River of Oblivion, transforming into a stream of light that shot straight toward the Primordial Netherworld.

Just as Samsara Purple Lotus and Wangchuan set off to return to the Underworld, many Yama Kings, scattered throughout the ten directions of the universe and each in charge of the reincarnation order of a great universe, also sensed the drastic changes in the primordial Netherworld.

That joy and exhilaration, originating from the very source, was clearly conveyed to their hearts.

"Hey, is Master finally going to officially initiate the Great Cycle of Reincarnation in the Primordial World?"

Inside a magnificent temple, Emperor Song Huanglong's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and an excited smile spread across his lips.

Without hesitation, he left behind a fully prepared Dao body to guard the cycle of this great universe, while his true self took a step forward, tearing through the void and skipping work to return to the primordial world.

"It's a good time to go back to the Heavenly Palace in Wucheng and discuss the advanced methods of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique with my older brothers and sisters."

"I estimate that it won't be long before I complete the seventh stage and condense the Great Luo Dao Fruit."

Huang Long muttered to himself as his figure disappeared into the depths of the universe.

In another universe, the divine realm of Mount Tai.

Taiyi Zhenren, dressed in the divine robe of "King of Mount Tai," was leisurely sipping celestial tea, instructing the spirits and deities beneath him on their duties.

Sensing the presence of the sensor, he paused slightly in his teacup, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face.

"The Demon God of Reincarnation transformed into the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak, but ultimately met his end by being suppressed."

"Now that Master wants to use him as the foundation to open up the cycle of reincarnation, can I ask Master for help to open a reincarnation passage that leads directly to the Netherworld on Mount Tai?"

Taiyi Zhenren stroked his chin, finding the idea quite constructive.

The Great Void World, a famous place for worldly trials, is a place of bizarre and dazzling lights and intoxicating pleasures.

The "Urban King" Yu Ding Zhenren, dressed in a blue robe, strolled down a long street, toying with a delicate little axe in his hand.

Behind him followed two teams of black-haired, black-robed subordinates, each wielding a sharp axe.

The creatures along the entire long street could not see their existence.

Only those priests who can communicate between the Yin and Yang realms, or cultivators of the Ghost Immortal path, can observe them.

[The King of Hell is on patrol; get out of his way immediately!]

The ghost immortal hurriedly grabbed his two companions, turned his back, and huddled in a corner.

"What the hell? Why is the King of the Underworld personally leading the ghosts and gods on a parade today?" a companion asked curiously.

Another companion transmitted a message: "Shh, didn't you see he's not wearing a uniform? Today he's not the City King, he's the Axe Gang Leader!"

The ghost immortal was startled and quickly transmitted his voice: "Don't mention the Axe Gang again, that's a selfie stick."

[Yes, yes, a selfie stick, it's a selfie stick, that's the magic tool that Yama uses to record his life.]

The two companions stopped abruptly upon seeing the Jade Cauldron Immortal and the two groups of ghosts and gods. They were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they were almost scared out of their wits.

In the middle of the long street, when the Netherworld's senses came, a dazzling light suddenly shot out from Jade Cauldron True Man's originally calm eyes, instantly shattering the illusion before him.

"I'm going back to the primordial world; you may continue your patrols."

"If any evil spirits or heretics cause trouble, just kill them!"

"Yes, boss!"

The two teams of black-clad ghosts and spirits replied respectfully.

With a swift movement, Master Yu Ding departed.

"We have to go back too."

[King of Equality] Guang Chengzi was creating life in a desolate universe. Upon hearing the news, he handed over the follow-up matters to his subordinates and returned to his original form.

[King Qin Guang] Chi Jingzi had just finished dealing with a thorny matter of an otherworldly demon invading the cycle of reincarnation. After sensing it, he also embarked on his journey home without hesitation.

[King of the Wheel] Julusun was in seclusion to comprehend the Great Dao when he was disturbed. He calculated with his fingers, his face lit up with joy, and he broke out of seclusion.

King Chujiang, King Biancheng, King Wuguan, King Yama... all the inner disciples of the Chan Sect who ruled over their respective universes chose to return to the primordial world at the same time.

The underworld, the gates of hell.

Now, imbued with the rich, authentic aura of the earth, this gateway connecting all realms appears even more magnificent and majestic, possessing an aura of authority that suppresses the netherworld.

At this moment, one after another, powerful figures with different divine lights appeared before the Gates of Hell.

These were the Ten Kings of Hell who had rushed back from all the heavens and myriad realms.

"Fellow senior brothers and junior brothers, how have you been? It seems that you have all come for the grand event of Master opening the Great Cycle of Reincarnation."

Huang Long arrived first, cheerfully greeting his fellow disciples who were arriving one after another.

"Senior Brother Huanglong is still as impatient as ever." Master Taiyi appeared leisurely, shaking his whisk.

"Greetings, fellow disciples." Master Yuding, as always, spoke succinctly, standing with his sword in his arms.

Guang Chengzi, Chi Jingzi, and others also paid their respects.

For a moment, divine light intertwined and Taoist charm permeated the area before the Gates of Hell, creating a lively scene.

Just then, three auspicious beams of light came from the distant horizon and landed before the Gates of Hell.

It was the figure of the three immortals of the Chan Sect: Cihang Daoren, Puxian Zhenren, and Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun.

"Greetings, fellow disciples. We have also come to observe the ceremony," said Cihang Daoren with a smile.

Samantabhadra and Manjushri also greeted him with smiles.

The three of them could be said to be the most relaxed and carefree among the inner and outer disciples of the Chan Sect.

The senior and junior disciples of the inner sect are all Yama Kings in the myriad realms, ruling over a realm and managing countless affairs every day.

The outer disciples all became giants of the demonic path, thriving in the demon realm, some becoming demon kings and others demon lords.

Everyone could say they have a bright future, and... busy schedules.

The three of them, however, remained secluded in the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain.

When he has free time, he listens to the Celestial Venerable preach, learns alchemy from the Supreme Lord, and occasionally goes out to wander through the myriad realms with the Jade Emperor Daoist.

They lived a carefree and unrestrained life.

"Junior Sister Cihang, Junior Brother Puxian, Junior Brother Wenshu, you've finally arrived."

Looking at his three fellow disciples, who exuded an air of otherworldly grace yet seemed utterly carefree, Chi Jingzi couldn't help but say with a pained expression:

"Comfort leads even immortals to ruin!"

"How can you be so leisurely? Why don't we petition the Jade Emperor to recruit you into the Heavenly Palace to serve?"

“Yes, yes, yes, Senior Brother Chijingzi is absolutely right!” Huanglong, Taiyi Zhenren, and the other Yama Kings nodded in agreement, their faces showing expressions of “envy, jealousy, and hatred,” but in reality, they were just teasing each other.

"Hehe, Senior Sister Cihang, Senior Brother Puxian, Senior Brother Wenshu, how about we go to the Demon Realm and look for jobs?"

Just then, outside the Gates of Hell, demonic clouds rolled in, and malevolent energy soared into the sky, vast and mighty.

A large group of outer disciples of the Chan Sect, dressed in uniform Demon King attire, came to witness the ceremony.

Leading the group were none other than the eldest disciple of the outer sect, Fu Zhu, and the second disciple, Meng Huai.

Meng Huai winked and looked at Cihang Daoren with a serious expression, enthusiastically promoting his product:
"Senior Sister Cihang, to be honest, with your talent and potential, if you were willing to condescend to develop in our Demon Realm, your future would be limitless!"

"Choose your identity from various realms, including Heavenly Demon, Earthly Demon, Ghost Demon, God Demon, Succubus, and more! Excellent benefits and smooth career advancement are guaranteed!"

"Go away, Meng Huai, get out of here and stop talking nonsense."

The eldest brother, Fuzhu, quickly nudged his unreliable second brother and said irritably:

"What nonsense are you talking about? What kind of status does Sister Cihang have? She is pure and dignified. How could she go to the Demon Realm to be a succubus?"

"You deserve a beating!"

The outer disciples behind him also chimed in, "Yes, yes, they deserve to be hit!"

"Not only should they be beaten, but they should also be sent to the eighteen kinds of hell to relive their past lives!"

"I haven't been back to Tai Sha Tian Palace for a while, I really miss it."

"Hey, you know what, I do miss the days when we all went to jail together."

At this moment, a demon king said, "Actually, I sometimes turn my cave back into hellish state, just to experience it occasionally."

"Yes, yes, yes!" This statement quickly resonated with the other demon kings, who all expressed that they also reminisced about the Hellish Set Meal in private.

"The Demon Ancestor is right, the demon is a grinder!"

"What we are doing is actually combining the characteristics of the Netherworld with the theories of the demonic path, which is the proper way to cultivate the Great Dao."

"Hmm, that makes sense, so we need to help Meng Huai get some experience."

"Hehehe~~" The Dark God and the Light God, mixed among the Demon King, shook their heads as they listened to the words of their disciples.

[A bunch of perverts!]

That is to say, the Chan Sect was able to produce such horribly eccentric disciples.

Upon seeing Meng Huai, they would be pushed back to the shared holy land of the Netherworld Sect and the Chan Sect—the Tai Sha Heavenly Palace.

The usually solemn Cihang Daoist nodded slightly and said calmly:
“Junior Brother Meng Huai wasn’t entirely wrong. The three of us did seriously consider going to Mount Sumeru to investigate the doctrines and cultivation methods of the Demonic Sect.”

Manjushri also added: "The demonic path is also one of the great paths, and it has its unique aspects. If we can draw inferences from one instance to another, it will be of great benefit to our cultivation."

"However, the matter was delayed due to the outbreak of a series of major battles."

Master Puxian nodded in agreement: "Originally, we planned to wait until the situation stabilized after the great battle before making any further plans."

"Unexpectedly, the Demon Ancestor Rahu died unexpectedly, and the Void Emperor Sect Master merged with the Dao and turned into the Dao. As a result, the demons left Mount Sumeru one after another. Therefore, it is no longer appropriate for us to go to the Demon Sect for investigation."

"Hey, if we can't go to the Demonic Sect, then senior brothers and sisters can consider going to the newly established Western Sect!" After being rescued, Meng Huai's eyes darted around, and he immediately came up with another brilliant idea, suggesting it enthusiastically once again:

"Although our main force of the Demonic Sect has withdrawn from Mount Sumeru, we have ceded that area and its gates to the Western Alliance of Loose Cultivators."

"I heard they are gearing up to integrate resources and formally establish a new religious sect called 'Western Religion'."

"Our senior brothers and sisters are highly skilled and virtuous; it would be nice to go and have some fun with them!"

"Western religion?"

Upon hearing this, the three great immortals, Cihang, Puxian, and Manjushri, exchanged glances, their eyes revealing a hint of surprise and curiosity.

The three of them tacitly calculated with their fingers at the same time, deducing the secrets of heaven.

A moment later, the three of them opened their eyes almost simultaneously, each with a thoughtful smile on their face.

"Thank you for your guidance, Junior Brother Meng Huai," said Cihang Daoist with a smile.

"We have noted this matter. If the opportunity arises, we may visit the West someday."

Manjushri and Samantabhadra nodded slightly, clearly also quite interested in the matter.

A grand event of reincarnation in the netherworld, through Meng Huai's persuasive words, led the three serene immortals to find a completely new "employment" path.

Boom! !

The void of the underworld trembled.

"here we go!"

Inside the main hall of Fengdu, a huge wheel of reincarnation rises.

Countless eerie lights spilled across the ground like mercury, permeating every corner of the underworld.

"Based on the origin of the Reincarnation Demon God, the Primordial Reincarnation is established!"

Wow~~
Blood-red moonlight spread across the underworld, and the power of the underground passage was fully activated, mobilizing the power of the entire netherworld.

At the same time, Xuanqing drew upon the immense power of the primordial world to empower him.

hum~~
The wheel of reincarnation began to spin, and a blurry figure seemed to be gradually gathering.

"You are the Heavenly Emperor!"

The enormous shadow trembled violently, and the surrounding chaotic energy surged instantly. A vast and chaotic will began to awaken, carrying with it endless weariness, anger, and bewilderment.

"Yes!"

Xuanqing readily admitted it.

Then a small banner flew out from his sleeve, and he unleashed a beam of light from his axe, shattering the illusory image.

The shattered reincarnation runes around the Reincarnation Demon God recombine and circulate.

A surge of pure, primordial power of reincarnation erupted forth, intertwining with the immense power of heaven and earth drawn up by Xuan Qing.

"Boom!"

The entire underworld was shaking violently.

Under Xuanqing's guidance and with the combined power of the Reincarnation Demon God's origin, earth-shattering changes began to occur in the depths of the Netherworld.

"In all the heavens and myriad realms, there should be a yin world, and there should be a place of reincarnation!" Xuan Qing's words became law, and all the heavens responded.

The underworld of countless worlds was opened up and perfected.

In the underworld of each world, a vast and boundless area is designated, forming an independent space called the Netherworld.

The Yinshan Mountains stand tall, and the ghost city is eerily silent.

"When the soul enters the underworld, it must follow the 'Road to the Yellow Springs'!"

Throughout the myriad realms of time and space, in every underworld, a deep, long road, its destination unknown, appears out of nowhere, emanating an aura that guides the souls of the dead.

Countless tiny specks of light, those are the newly deceased souls, drawn in and involuntarily embarking on this path.

"At the end of the road to the underworld, there lies the River of Oblivion!"

Wangchuan's face lit up with joy, and following the power of the earth, it rapidly generated its own tributaries throughout the myriad worlds.

In the various underworlds, a mighty river, its waters a blood-yellow hue, surges forth, accompanied by a chilling wind and the wailing of vengeful spirits.

The river is filled with the power of loss and oblivion.

To cross the River of Oblivion, one must cross the Bridge of Helplessness!

The Bridge of Helplessness in the underworld emitted a blazing light, casting shadows across the heavens.

Ancient, weathered stone bridges span the River of Oblivion, their surfaces narrow, beneath which lies endless depravity.

As the soul steps onto this bridge, all that happened in life, like fleeting clouds, begins to be examined.

"Good and evil are rewarded accordingly, and reincarnation is inevitable. After crossing the bridge, one should drink the 'Meng Po soup' to forget the past and enter the cycle of reincarnation again."

Standing to the side, Meng Wuyou was deeply moved. In a moment of inspiration, she took out a wisp of the essence of dreams and merged it into the banks of the River of Oblivion.

Countless dreamlike specks of light drifted and scattered across the heavens, eventually merging into the banks of the River of Oblivion.

From then on, on the banks of the River of Oblivion in all the underworlds of the myriad realms, a female phantom dressed in plain clothes with a blurred face would quietly appear.

She held a bowl in her hand and began to brew a soup that could make people forget everything.

Then, Xuanqing continued to speak.

"At the Bridge of Helplessness, on the Terrace of Longing for Home, the Stone of Three Lives stands, and the Mirror of Karma hangs high, reflecting one's past life."

The Three Lives Stone flew out from Wangchuan's sleeve.

The Mirror of Karma in the Seven Heavens Palace also began to project images onto the heavens.

"In the place of reincarnation, a 'Reincarnation Disc' should be erected to guide all beings in the three realms of heaven, earth, and humanity!"

Xuan Qing pointed a finger, and the Reincarnation Purple Lotus emitted endless light, merging with the power of the Reincarnation Disc.

The Wheel of Reincarnation slowly rotates, and three deep holes naturally appear on it, corresponding to Heaven, Earth, and Man respectively.

As the various reincarnation disks in the heavens take shape, the framework for the cycle of reincarnation in all realms is initially completed.

After the cycle of reincarnation was established in all the heavens and myriad realms, countless lights of reincarnation began to rise above the river of time and space, converging towards the primordial underworld.

"The great cycle of primordial chaos shall begin today!"

Throughout the entire primordial world, all the powerful beings felt a sense of urgency and turned their gazes toward the Netherworld.

They sensed a new, complete order forming, and a certain imperfection in the world being filled.

Xuanqing watched all this with satisfaction, the underground passage becoming more and more stable and perfect due to the establishment of reincarnation.

The forces of Heaven and Earth began to reach a balance.

Boom! !

When the cycle of reincarnation was first established, the Earthly Way was perfected, and the Heavenly Way celebrated.

Boundless merit surrounds heaven and earth.

This merit is a hidden virtue bestowed by the Supreme Being of the Moon.

"good!"

Xuanqing nodded, and boundless [yin virtue] descended.

Seventy percent was given to the gods of the primordial underworld, and threety percent was given to the gods of the underworld in all the heavens and myriad realms.

All the spirits, deities, and immortals rejoiced.

The Netherworld truly is the place with the best welfare and benefits among all the heavens and myriad realms.

Not only are there many career advancement opportunities, but the company's top executives also lead the way in achieving performance targets for the organization.

Every time a big shot makes a move, it means that the entire Netherworld system can benefit and receive new benefits.

"The immortals in the divine lineage only enjoy the benefits; the real beneficiaries are our Great Emperor!"

"Yes, yes!"

"Homage to the Great Emperor of the Underworld!"

"Homage to the Great Emperor of the Underworld!"

~~~~
Kaiming Mountain, Pangu Temple.

Houtu silently accepted the benefits from the underworld.

She didn't even work a single day, yet she still gets benefits?

As a reserve member of the Netherworld, Houtu felt unworthy of the title.

[Although the primordial cycle of reincarnation has been established, I still feel like something's not quite right.]

Houtu silently gazed towards the sea of ​​blood. [Logically, reincarnation encompasses all beings in the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity; that should be correct.]

【But.】

Houtu pondered for a moment, then stretched out her finger and drew a scroll in the air, retrieving a scripture—the "Six Paths of Reincarnation Scripture".

This is what she comprehended through her understanding of the primordial cycle of reincarnation.

"Why do I feel that the cycle of reincarnation is the perfect one?"

Houtu flipped through the scriptures she had written and then looked at the three paths of reincarnation in the primordial world.

A very awkward, yet indescribable, feeling of discomfort lingered in Houtu's heart.

"If I am not wrong, then the Netherworld Emperor is wrong!"

A thought popped into Houtu's mind.

Then he was startled by this thought of his own.

The Netherworld Emperor is still very powerful; at least he has progressed further and higher on the path of the Great Dao than she has.

"But he doesn't seem to be a practitioner of the Great Dao of Reincarnation."

Houtu thought for a moment and said, "I am the Lord of Reincarnation, I should trust myself!"

"The three realms of reincarnation are wrong; the six realms of reincarnation are right!"

Houtu remained true to herself, and her thoughts instantly became clear.

"But...but this imperfect cycle is so painful to watch!"

A massive surge of resentment rose within the Pangu Temple.

"Couldn't the Emperor put in a little more effort?"
