Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 512, Section 522: The White Immortal Submits

"Compared to the danger you've faced, wouldn't it be better to eliminate your good intentions?"

"Once you get rid of your good intentions, you no longer need to worry about them restricting you. From now on, you will be a complete whole."

This was not the first time that the Evil Spirit Lord had met the Goddess Zigu. The two had even clashed a few times due to friction on the border.

Therefore, the Evil Spirit Lord knew that the Goddess Zigu was originally a dual being of good and evil.

However, because good intentions were too weak and were constantly suppressed by evil intentions, Changzhou and Xuanzhou were transformed into hell on earth.

Now that the evil thoughts have been released, one should be happy.

Seeing the smile on the face of the Evil Spirit True Lord, the Goddess Zigu became even more gloomy. She didn't like being used by others.

However, she also knew that the body in front of her was not the true body of the Evil Spirit Lord, so killing him would be useless.

This time, the Evil Spirit True Lord obtained a lot of information about the Northern Underworld Lord, but she almost died there.

"Alright, I know you're not satisfied. I will give you compensation that will satisfy you."

"At the same time, now that we're facing such a guy, whether we cooperate or not, the result will still be that I get his body, and you can take whatever else you want." The Evil Spirit True Lord stared at the Purple Maiden Goddess and asked in a negotiating tone.

Upon hearing this, the Goddess Zigu remained silent for a moment, then said calmly, "Alright!"

……

"From now on, you shall guard this Bridge of Helplessness."

Zigu looked ahead and saw an ancient covered bridge. Below the bridge flowed a turbulent river, in which countless skeletal and vengeful spirits struggled and roared.

The green flames peered through the white bones at Zigu, as if they were not eyes, but were pleading with her, hoping she would use her kindness to pull them up.

"The River of Oblivion is filled with vengeful ghosts who are destined to sink. Do not be misled by their words or the emotions they release," Lin Beixuan said softly from the side.

This River of Oblivion is a Netherworld building that the panel rewarded him with, and it is many times wider than the Yellow Springs that once flowed within the Netherworld.

Looking along the banks of the River of Oblivion, one cannot see its boundary.

Moreover, the River of Oblivion is filled with countless evil spirits, and no one knows where the panel found so many ghosts to put in. On the turbulent river, you can always see unknown ghosts beckoning to people.

Zi Gu tilted her head slightly and said, "Don't worry, Lord, I don't need to worry about any of that."

She slowly walked to the bridge, reached out and touched the bridge pillars of the Naihe Bridge, feeling the intricate and complex textures on them.

Then, she walked onto the bridge.

The surging waters of the River of Oblivion brought a biting, eerie wind. Gray mist drifted across the river's surface, and the massive mountain peaks, like ribs spurting into the sky, resembled enormous skeletal corpses lying on the ground in the reflection of the gray mist.

"Everything is so familiar!"

Following her memory, Zigu arrived at a bridge railing and gently touched the writing on it.

Changsheng loved only Zigu throughout his life.

"This line of text is still there?"

Zigu bent down in disbelief, wanting to confirm what she was seeing.

Why exactly?
After Li Changsheng died, he was just an ordinary ghost and had no chance of carving words on the bridge.

Moreover, all Changsheng left behind was a note. At the time, she was in too much pain, and the note slipped into the River of Oblivion, so the words should have disappeared.

Upon seeing him again, all the memories of spending time with Li Changsheng in the past flooded back into my mind like a tidal wave.

Those sweet and warm moments, intertwined with the later grief of being separated from her forever, brought tears to her eyes.

She gently traced the words with her fingertips, as if she could touch the warmth of her former lover through the ancient bridge railing.

"Chang Sheng... I can stay with you forever, I won't go anywhere..."

Zigu murmured softly, and the passing gusts of cold wind carried her voice far away along the river.

Lin Beixuan stood not far away and saw everything.

He slowly turned around and left across the Bridge of Helplessness.

He carved the words on the Bridge of Helplessness; he used the Book of Life and Death to see through the lives of Zigu and Changsheng.

Now that Zigu has been assigned to guard the Bridge of Helplessness, she needs to have something to rely on for her soul. It just so happens that Changsheng left behind this sentence when he was dying, which can be put to good use.

After settling Zigu in, Lin Beixuan returned to the outside world and saw the Fox Spirit God and other mortal gods flying to his side one by one.

Looking at their injured appearance, Lin Beixuan's tone softened as he said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Although he was at a critical juncture in breaking through to the Human Immortal realm, he still managed to spare a wisp of his spiritual consciousness to be vigilant about his surroundings. He could see what the Fox Spirit God and other mortal gods were doing.

The other party held back the two mortal gods of Zigu, and even when Zigu herself arrived, he still did not back down.

They were protecting him with an almost death wish.

Fox Spirit God smiled faintly and said, "We were suppressed by Zigu God before, but after she left, the power that suppressed us disappeared. So we joined forces to try to keep those mortal gods under Zigu God. Unfortunately, in the end we only managed to keep the Blood God, who was the weakest among them."

As he spoke, the Shadow God threw out the Blood God, who was bound by the divine power of various mortal gods.

At this moment, the Blood God was somewhat panicked, especially when it saw Lin Beixuan standing in front of it, it didn't even dare to breathe.

He never expected that Lin Beixuan would actually force Zigu Goddess to retreat.

It is utterly unbelievable that a human immortal, especially one who has just broken through, could directly defeat a great mortal god.

Lin Beixuan merely glanced at the Blood God with his head down, pondering how to deal with him, when Ajiu suddenly jumped out.

"Give it to me!"

"It took a lot of my energy to block those attacks for you before."

Without hesitation, Lin Beixuan tossed the Blood God to Ajiu.

"Remember to spit out all that stuff on its body."

Ajiu chuckled and immediately transformed into the Nine Heavens Profound Yellow Pagoda, trapping it inside.

After doing all this, Ajiu nodded to the Fox Spirit God and his group, and then entered Lin Beixuan's body.

The mortal gods were a good source of replenishment for her, just enough to make up for the lack of primordial energy she had today.

After Ajiu entered Lin Beixuan's body, Jueze also flew over with a whoosh, transforming into a flying sword the size of a needle and entering Lin Beixuan's body.

The sword was the most severely injured in this battle, and almost the entire blade was about to crack. Fortunately, Xiao Zizai added memory metal from outer space when he forged it, so it only takes some time to return to its original form.

"Let's look back at Fengcheng."

Lin Beixuan stepped out from the mountain peak, floating in the air. The swirling air around him fluttered his clothes, and his figure became blurred.

……

Inside Wangfeng City, Kuju and her companion sat properly on wooden chairs, their hands occasionally fiddling with the trousers on their knees, their expressions tense.

The reason was that Lord Beiming wanted to see them. By this time, a day had passed since the strange phenomenon. After Lin Beixuan had become thoroughly familiar with the power of the Human Immortal, he thought of Bai Xian's matter and decided to call Ku Ju and the other person who were still in Wangfeng City to come and see them.

This news terrified Kuju and Kuhe.

As Lin Beixuan defeated Zigu Shen, the news spread throughout Wangfeng City in a short time and then to the other cities at an even faster pace.

Kuju tensed up at the slightest noise, her fingers already having torn a large hole in her pants.

Kuhe, standing nearby, nervously comforted him, "Pay attention to your appearance, your pants are ripped."

Kuju's face hardened, and she quickly smoothed out the hole in her pants.

"This time we're meeting a truly important person, the ruler of Luozhou. How could I not be nervous!"

"But being nervous won't help. I hope this magistrate has come with good intentions."

The two white fairies were talking in hushed tones when suddenly, a footstep drifted slowly from the back hall.

Kuju and the other person immediately sat up straight and looked over at the same time.

Lin Beixuan, dressed in a long black robe, slowly walked out from the back hall. Upon seeing Ku Ju and the other person, he smiled and said, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Kuju hurriedly stood up and waved her hand, saying, "No, no, Lord Fu is very busy with official duties. It is our good fortune that he can take the time to see us little white fairies."

Lin Beixuan stared at Ku Ju's face for a while before smiling and sitting down in the main seat.

"Then I'll get straight to the point: Is Baishan willing to join my Luozhou?"

"Gulu~"

Kuju and Kuhe exchanged a glance, both swallowing hard, unsure how to respond.

Although they already knew that Lin Beixuan had called them over for this reason, they were completely dumbfounded when Lin Beixuan actually asked them.

A moment later, Kuhe reacted even faster than Kuju, and quickly clasped his hands in reply, "Baishan is willing to join the Lord's tutelage."

Kuju was taken aback by what she heard, and looked at Kuhe in surprise, as if to say, "This wasn't the decision we initially discussed."

However, Ku He didn't even glance at Ku Ju, and bowed, saying, "The Baishan mountain region has 5,347 hectares, producing 671 dan of wild white ginseng and 1,300 dan of deer antler moss..."

Kuhe recounted all the medicinal herbs harvested in Baishan each year as if they were his own treasures, and even mentioned the historical and cultural heritage of Baishan.

"you you you……"

Kuju was so startled that she kept backing away, pointing at Kuhe repeatedly, as if the Kuhe in front of her was not the real Kuhe, but someone else entirely.

Ku Ju's commotion eventually disrupted Ku He's speech, so Ku He glanced at Ku Ju casually and said indifferently, "Kneel down!"

Upon hearing those two words, Kuju's expression immediately furrowed, and she knelt meekly on the ground.

At this moment, Ku He raised her head and looked at Lin Beixuan with an apologetic expression.

"Bai Shan has failed in his duties, and I hope Your Excellency will forgive him!"

Lin Beixuan shook his head indifferently upon hearing this: "The fact that the Ancestor came here in person already demonstrates Baishan's sincerity."

An aged female voice came from Ku He's mouth, as if time had cut a knife into her throat.

"Now that three of the five immortals under the Lord's command have gathered, with Hu, Huang, and Hui each fulfilling their duties, my Baishan has seen this and should naturally show all our sincerity so that the Lord can trust and feel at ease."

Upon hearing this, Lin Beixuan smiled, unsure of what to say next.

He never expected that during this conversation, the White Immortal Ancestor would use Ku He's body to speak with him personally, and even directly offer up all his wealth.

Lin Beixuan thought for a moment: "Then what does Baishan want?"

At this moment, Ku He's body was completely under the control of the White Immortal Ancestor. With a solemn expression, he looked at Lin Beixuan in a slow and steady manner.

"I would like to ask the Prefect to take me in."

Lin Beixuan raised an eyebrow slightly: "Take them in?"

He naturally understood the meaning of those words.

However, Bai Shan's current attitude is vastly different from what Fox Spirit God initially said.

"Is it because I became a human immortal and defeated the goddess Zigu?" Lin Beixuan thought to himself.

Kuhe said, "My appearance this time is not only to show my sincerity to the Lord, but also to implore the Lord to take in Baishan. I am willing to come here carrying the mountain and join the Lord's sect to become the fourth immortal under your command."

The five most common immortals in the mortal world are the fox, the yellow fox, the white fox, the willow, and the gray fox. Their fame doesn't stem from their strength, but rather from their sheer number.

Whether it's foxes, weasels, hedgehogs, snakes, or rats, they are all very common creatures in rural areas.

On the contrary, rare tiger immortals and wolf immortals, despite their great strength, never receive much incense offerings.

The five immortals each have their own unique abilities: the Hu Xian is skilled in transformation, the Huang Xian is spiritually gifted and knows the way, the Bai Xian can identify medicines and understand healing, the Liu Xian protects the home and ensures safety, and the Hui Xian is quick-witted and intelligent.

In terms of influence alone, the Five Immortals are not inferior to the major secular gods, because there are scattered incense offerings for the Five Immortals in various parts of the secular world.

Now, Bai Xian Laozu's words have indeed given Lin Beixuan a glimmer of hope that he can bring all five immortal families under his command.

But before that, let's deal with the White Immortal in front of us first.

"Are you implying that you plan to relocate the entire Baishan area?" Lin Beixuan asked calmly.

“Indeed! I knew long ago that if one wants to establish oneself in this chaotic world, one cannot be a person who starts strong but finishes weak; one must make a choice.”

"The Prefect is benevolent and kind. He not only saved Luozhou but also helped the people rebuild their homes. This is a divine act of kindness, and he will surely be rewarded with good deeds. Rather than betting on those inhuman pigs and dogs, it is better to believe what you have seen with your own eyes."

"And the most important thing is this."

The White Immortal Ancestor suddenly lowered his head, looking down at his feet, and said in a low voice, "Since Luo Zhou has a Netherworld, who wouldn't hope that their juniors, after dying unjustly, can have a good place to go!"

Since the great battle between Lin Beixuan and the Goddess Zigu, anyone in the mortal world with any ability has realized that the underworld has reappeared.

The direction of the underworld's appearance in the mortal world is Luozhou, so the conclusion is obvious: it must be related to the Northern Underworld Lord of Luozhou.

Most people speculate that the Northern Underworld Lord obtained the inheritance of the Underworld, and that the White Immortal Ancestor was one of them.

After learning about this, the White Immortal Ancestor, who had been hesitant, decisively surrendered.

Everyone knows what the underworld is, so she made no attempt to conceal her purpose.

“I brought my entire clan and my possessions with me in exchange for the right to continue to survive in this chaotic world.”

Bai Xian Patriarch raised his head, his gaze fixed on Lin Beixuan, anticipating the other's answer for the first time.

"Then let's go." Lin Beixuan did not disappoint her.

After bowing repeatedly to Lin Beixuan, Bai Xian Laozu happily detached himself from Ku He's body and his soul returned.

For a moment, Ku He swayed slightly as if all her strength had been drained.

He then looked at Ku Ju kneeling on the ground, and then at Lin Beixuan, who looked calm and composed, and roughly understood what had happened.
