Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 505, Section 515: The Six Paths of Human Immortals
"Little girl, what are you doing following me?"

Rat Lord turned his head to look at Zhong Xiaomei who was following behind him.

Zhong Xiaomei stared at the Rat Gentleman with fascination, her little face beaming with excitement as she exclaimed, "I want to learn!"

"study?"

Rat Lord raised an eyebrow, only then remembering that when he was performing a cesarean section on Li Wan, there seemed to be a little head peeking through the window.

He didn't think there was any danger when he first noticed them, so he ignored them. He never expected that the other party would dare to follow him.

The Rat Gentleman straightened his sleeves, adopting the demeanor of a Confucian master, and said, "Little girl, you can't learn my methods, and why do you think I have to teach you just because you want to?"

"I need to go back to Huangque City as soon as possible. Maybe we'll meet again someday if fate allows."

The Rat Lord waved kindly to Zhong Xiaomei and was about to leave when he heard Zhong Xiaomei shouting loudly behind him.

“My parents are dead, leaving only my brother and me. He became a messenger in the underworld, and I don’t want him to suffer alone. I want to become someone with great abilities!”

After shouting the words, Zhong Xiaomei was clearly out of breath, her shoulders heaving and her face flushed, but her eyes were extremely firm, like two flames in the cold wind.

This was the first time in his life that Rat Lord had encountered such a situation. Someone had caught up with him and wanted to become his disciple, so he stopped in his tracks and felt unusually happy.

He asked patiently, "You said your elder brother became a messenger in the underworld? What's his name?"

"Zhong Kui!"

Zhong Xiaomei ran up and grabbed the Rat Gentleman's collar, afraid that he would run away.

Upon hearing this name, the Rat Gentleman wondered to himself, "Where have I heard this name before?"

A few breaths later, he suddenly came to his senses.

He had indeed heard this name before, and it was from the Prefect.

Moreover, judging from the prefect's expression at the time, he seemed to care about this person quite a bit.

If it were just a name like Zhong Kui, the Rat Lord might not have associated it with the person the Prefect was talking about.

If you can contact the underworld officials, then there shouldn't be any problem.

He was in charge of helping Lin Beixuan find the life force of the fetus, so he knew something about the reconstruction of the underworld and naturally understood that the rumors about the underworld messengers he had encountered were true.

Although the Underworld existed a hundred years ago, it no longer exists. In his view, the current Underworld is another force secretly established by the Lord of the Underworld.

Rat Lord looked down at Little Sister Zhong.

He was not tall to begin with, only about 1.5 meters tall, not even as tall as a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, so Zhong Xiaomei's petite and cute appearance easily made the Rat Prince feel a sense of kinship.

But he kept a straight face and said calmly, "I'll say it again, what makes you think I should teach you just because you want to learn?"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiaomei's expression froze for a moment, and she hesitated for a long time before slowly raising her head.

"Because...because you're a good person!"

The innocent and carefree voice reached the ears of the Rat Prince, and even though he tried to keep a straight face, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch backward.

The wife of the Rat Lord, the Earth Goddess, stepped forward and said with a smile, "Alright! Stop making things difficult for him. If you don't want to teach, then I will take him as my disciple."

Considering that they would be facing Li Wan and her husband this time, the Rat Prince specially brought his wife along as well.

Seeing his wife undermine him, he could only smile wryly and say, "The Lord of the Underworld mentioned a messenger named Zhong Kui before. If I'm not mistaken, he is probably her brother."

"You know that the Prefect is very good at judging people. This person probably has a bright future ahead of him."

The Earth Goddess rolled her eyes: "So what? What does it have to do with Zhong Kui that I took his sister as my apprentice? We're not trying to harm his sister."

"I'll take charge of this matter. As for her brother, please put in a good word for him when you have time."

The Rat Prince opened his mouth as if to say something, but was glared at by the Earth Goddess and shut up.

The Rat Lord could only sigh helplessly and let Zhong Xiaomei lead his wife to where he was currently staying.

After they revealed their identities, the family that Zhong Kui had entrusted Zhong Xiaomei to was naturally happy to hand her over to the Rat Lord.

So, without Zhong Kui's knowledge, Zhong Xiaomei and the Rat Prince arrived at Huangque City.

……

Lin Beixuan accepted the life force of the fetus handed over by the Rat Gentleman, felt the rich Six Paths aura within the embryo, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"We've finally managed to raise the last bit of funds!"

At this moment, under the influence of the fetal energy, the other five energies in his body seemed to be attracted by something, wanting to break away from his body and merge with the fetal energy.

The embryo, born in Lin Beixuan's hand, shimmered with a faint light. The slightly transparent red membrane rose and fell like breathing, absorbing the power that the Rat Lord had wrapped around the embryo.

Lin Beixuan gazed at the rather intelligent little figure inside the womb, thinking that this must be the source of the fetal energy.

Then, a few arcs of electricity flickered at his fingertips, instantly breaking through the Rat Lord's power barrier. Immediately afterwards, black lightning, like a dragon, surged into the womb and circled around the little man.

Then, with a flick of its tail, it wrapped around the little man's body and pulled him out of the embryo.

"Bah..."

After the fetal life force left the embryo, Lin Beixuan could clearly sense that the embryo's vitality was rapidly declining, and was about to reach a critical point, almost to the point of death.

Seeing this, Lin Beixuan's right eye flickered with golden flames, and a wisp of life-giving power was quickly injected into the embryo.

While it's true that the fetal energy is important, the child's life is equally important. Lin Beixuan couldn't possibly disregard the child's life just for the sake of the fetal energy.

So, Lin Beixuan raised his hand as a knife, his eyes seeing through the connection between the life force of the fetus and the power of the embryo, and instantly slashed out with a knife.

This cut severed the main body of the fetal life force, but left a portion of it inside the embryo.

At the same time, Lin Beixuan's power surged, and he also left the few strands of the Luoqi Creation Shrine Master's energy within the embryo along with the severed part of the fetal life force.

In an instant, the life force remaining in the embryo rose from the surface, changing from its original light pink to a dark red like blood. It unfolded like a lotus flower and then gathered together, transforming into a tiny seed.

Upon seeing this scene, the Rat Prince couldn't help but swallow hard.

He couldn't imagine what kind of monstrous being the child would become after this embryo was born.

Even in its embryonic stage, it was nurtured by both the life force of the fetus and the power of Lin Beixuan. This power would not disappear as the embryo grew, but would be stored in the child's body, transforming into unparalleled talent to accompany its growth. Lin Beixuan absorbed the life force of the fetus into his body and looked at the Rat Prince, saying, "After taking the embryo back, remember to observe Li Shi for a period of time. Although the life force of the fetus has been extracted, it has been mixed with some of the life force of the fetus and my power."

"This fetus may experience abnormalities during pregnancy, so you need to be extra careful."

After taking the embryo, the Rat Lord immediately felt the surging power flowing continuously on its surface, and was slightly shocked.

"When this baby is born, it will probably cause quite a few unusual celestial phenomena!"

Throughout history, there have been many people in the mortal world who were born with extraordinary celestial phenomena.

These people were born extraordinary, with either bizarre or noble destinies. They were favored by heaven and earth and often stirred up huge waves in their respective eras.

Rat Lord looked down at the embryo in his hand, his mind wandering as he wondered what kind of legend this child, nurtured by special power, would write in the world.

But what was the world like back then?
Even if we wait until the child is born and grows up, it will still be ten or twenty years from now.

In the current chaotic and turbulent times, no one knows what the future holds. If Luo Zhou cannot hold on and is destroyed, this child may die at the hands of the evil spirit army or the evil army before he is even born.

With many thoughts swirling in his mind, Rat Lord slowly left the room.

Lin Beixuan felt a slight pang of melancholy upon seeing Rat Lord leave.

With the six auras now gathered, the cycle of reincarnation in the underworld will be completely completed. At the same time, he will collect all the illustrations of the six beings on the panel, obtain a large number of rewards, and take this opportunity to break through his realm and become a human immortal.

He wasn't sure how long this process would take. If it took a long time, and the Evil Spirit True Lord came in person, probably no one in Luo Zhou would be able to stop him.

However, if he doesn't advance to the level of a human immortal, he still won't be able to stop it!

With that in mind, Lin Beixuan no longer hesitated and told the people he trusted most about his breakthrough in seclusion. Apart from them, the news of his seclusion was strictly forbidden to be spread.

After doing all this, Lin Beixuan went alone to a place he was familiar with.

Back then, it was on the highest mountain in Luozhou that he consumed most of the Xuanhuang Qi of the Nine Heavens Xuanhuang Pagoda to break and rebuild the celestial phenomena of Luozhou.

This time, I once again climbed this mountain and looked down over the land of Luozhou. The desert, which was originally mostly barren, has gradually turned green.

As all the mortal gods of Luozhou traversed every inch of the land, nourishing it with their divine power, the earth was revitalized, and countless lives began to be born.

Lin Beixuan sat on a boulder atop the mountain, the howling wind whipping his robes and sending his half-long black hair flying wildly.

The Nine Heavens Profound Yellow Pagoda and the Choice Sword flew out of his body, while the magnificent and vast complex of the Underworld was faintly visible behind him.

The Nine Heavens Profound Yellow Pagoda emitted wisps of profound yellow light, enveloping Lin Beixuan and the mountain peak he was on. A large amount of cloud and mist was also dragged over, concealing Lin Beixuan's figure.

The first floor, the second floor... except for the ninth floor, all floors of the Xuanhuang Tower are open. The Golden Crow True Fire spreads everywhere, and the blade of Xuan Ying Zhi Hen merges into the clouds around Lin Beixuan. There are also Xuanhuang Dao Seeds that have almost condensed into crystals, ready to replenish Lin Beixuan's power at any time in case he is not strong enough during his breakthrough.

Ajiu, transformed into a little girl, slowly stepped out from the ethereal halo and sat down beside Lin Beixuan.

She swung her little feet, humming a song softly, in a very happy mood.

On the other side, Choice trembled slightly, then soared into the sky, passing over Lin Beixuan's head.

Its sharpness is unparalleled, almost capable of easily tearing through space. Although its ranking has not yet been updated in the Weapon Legend Compendium, in terms of its sharpness, even the seventh-ranked Nine Heavens Profound Yellow dare not confront it head-on.

Even with the protection of two legendary weapons, Lin Beixuan still felt somewhat uneasy.

He had a premonition that his breakthrough would cause a great stir, which might attract some trouble, and his safety had to be guaranteed.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Beixuan finally took out half of the Book of Life and Death.

Compared to the Nine Heavens Mysterious Yellow Pagoda and the Choice, the Book of Life and Death seems unremarkable, just like ordinary paper, rustling in the wind.

But within those seemingly ordinary pages, the black characters seemed to be radiating light.

Lin Beixuan placed the Book of Life and Death on his lap, not caring whether the other party had a spirit that could hear him, and muttered to himself.

"No matter what, I have finally established the Underworld. Although it is not yet at the level you once were, it is growing step by step and will replace you in the future to become the second Underworld to hold the power of reincarnation."

"But before that, both the Underworld and I need to have great strength, and stepping into the Human Immortal realm is the most important stage for me."

"Whether you are spiritual or not, since you have temporarily acknowledged me as your master, I urge you to intervene in this critical moment and buy me some time."

After saying this, Lin Beixuan stopped arguing, took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and began to circulate the power within his body, guiding the gathered six auras together.

In Lin Beixuan's mind, the previously silent panel suddenly displayed text.

【…】

[Note: You have successfully unlocked all the six realms of aura related to humans, gods, ghosts, corpses, fetuses, spirits, and demons.]

[Reincarnation continues endlessly, the six realms proceed, one abandons this aggregate and returns to another, good and evil have their consequences, attachment to cause and effect.]

You have successfully completed the Illustrated Compendium - The Six Realms of Beings.

[You have received the following rewards for completing the encyclopedia: +3 Destiny Equipment Slots, Six Paths of Reincarnation Authority, River of Oblivion (Netherworld Building), Yin-Yang Raft (Netherworld Building), Tomb of the Living Dead (Netherworld Building)...]

[You have received the blessing of the divine power of reincarnation, you have received a large amount of incense money, you have received a large amount of toll money, and your incense temple has undergone unknown changes...]

"Hoo, hoo-"

As the six energies flowed within his body like six rushing rivers, they initially clashed and surged against each other before slowly converging together.

Strange rays of light emanated from various parts of Lin Beixuan's body, within which various mysterious runes could be vaguely seen flickering.

At the same time, nourished by the Qi of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Lin Beixuan's divinely created organs, which were not yet fully perfected, were finally completed.

His skin pores seemed to breathe autonomously, constantly spewing out mist, and the beating of the Earth's Heart was like the sound of drums, the rhythm leading all the divinely created organs in his body to pulsate.

“Plop, plop, plop…”

It wasn't just the heart that made the sound; all the muscles, bones, and blood vessels erupted with tremendous energy at the same moment.

This energy instantly enveloped the Six Paths of Reincarnation Qi and flowed through Lin Beixuan, finally arriving at the point where the Heavenly Gate and the Hanging Beams converged within his body at the last moment.

"Crunch!!"

At this moment, the magnificent mansion opened in response, and the town's treasures transformed into a riot of wind and flowers, scattering across the heavens and earth, like a dream.

Lin Beixuan couldn't help but open his eyes, his hair flew wildly, and divine light shot up from between his brows, scattering the clouds and becoming like a pillar supporting the sky, absorbing the dense tribulation energy that was floating in the world.
