The Great Way to Truth, Starting from Jiazi Laodao

Chapter 296 Reincarnation and Rebirth
The eighteen levels of hell are beginning to take shape.

The eighteen powerful figures dared not relax; instead, they became even more cautious and prepared for battle.

Creating hell is only the first step.

Integration is the key.

However, before that, they need to open up another layer of hell.

That is the nineteenth level: the Avici Hell.

This prison requires the combined efforts of eighteen powerful beings, and those who enter it are all vicious and wicked ghosts, souls filled with evil.

They will be imprisoned until death, never to be reincarnated.

The powerful beings led by the Three Half-Immortals made their move together, while Houtu traveled through the eighteen levels of hell, with the Six Paths of Reincarnation shining behind her.

According to the rule of the unity of the three realms, the eighteen hells leave their mark in the six realms of reincarnation. In the six realms of reincarnation, the death energy, malevolence, and yin energy become heavier and heavier, and the pressure on the goddess Houtu becomes stronger and stronger.

He is only one step away from becoming a divine being.

At that time, she will surpass others and become the fourth great deity in the world.

The first one is naturally the Heavenly Southern Divine Lord.

The second is Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun.

The third is Emperor Gouchen.

After half a year of deliberation, the powerful figures of the Great Zhou Dynasty finally reached a consensus, agreeing to peacefully resolve human disputes.

To demonstrate their sincerity, they ruthlessly purged the opposition members who were driven by self-interest.

Emperor Gouchen, representing the Ming Dynasty, went on a diplomatic mission to the Great Zhou Dynasty to sign a treaty, and the two forces began to merge from then on.

Of course, it's all for profit.

The two sides held nine matches.

Three sessions of Qi cultivation, three sessions of spirit cultivation, and three sessions of great power cultivation.

This determines the initiative and the dominant position.

After three rounds of Qi cultivation, the Ming Dynasty emerged victorious.

Zhu Wu personally entered the arena, easily crushing his opponent, and took this opportunity to achieve the Spirit Refinement Realm.

In the three rounds of training, the Ming Dynasty won two and drew one.

The Dream Eater clan chief won a match.

The Phoenix Clan Chief won the match.

The elder of the Red Spider Lily clan won the battle.

The Ming Dynasty won all three matches against the powerful forces.

Xuanming temporarily emerged from seclusion and single-handedly suppressed three top experts from the original three great divine dynasties.

After this battle, the three experts were completely convinced of their superiority.

At the same time, they were somewhat relieved that they had agreed to Xuanming's conditions. Otherwise, with Xuanming's current strength, which was comparable to that of a half-immortal, and with Zhong Neng and Ji Yuan, two half-immortals, tied down by the Eighteen Levels of Hell, he would be invincible in the mortal world.

Enough to flatten the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Sending Taoist Yu Chen to reason with them was already a gesture of courtesy before resorting to force, demonstrating magnanimity and compassion.

If Xuanming knew what the three powerful figures were thinking, he would definitely scoff. If the White Jade Capital were not about to open, even if he killed them, it would still take several years to swallow the Great Zhou Dynasty. In order to avoid causing more trouble and to save time, how could he possibly put aside his grudges for the time being?

The current Dao Ancestor is his number one enemy.

As for them and the two half-immortals, Zhong Neng and Ji Yuan, we'll deal with them after we settle things with the Dao Ancestor. If they behave well during this time, they will be sent to reincarnate for a hundred or a thousand lifetimes respectively, to experience the joys and sorrows of the human world and understand the grudges and grievances.

If they are not satisfied, after dealing with the Dao Ancestor, they will be allowed to use their remaining energy to benefit the world and all living beings with the fruits of their thousands of years of arduous cultivation.

Now, Xuanming has the qualifications and confidence to do so.

With the war on earth over, Emperor Gouchen's understanding of the way of war has reached a new level, and his breakthrough is a natural outcome.

Another powerful deity has been added to the human realm.

Of course, as the Taiping Sect became the state religion of the Ming Dynasty, Huangji Huangjiao Daxian was also about to break through.

At that time, he will be worthy of the title "Yellow Heaven".

---

One year later, in the mortal realm. The Great Zhou Dynasty has completely ended, and the Great Ming Dynasty has been established.

The netherworld, the underworld.

The Avici Hell has been completed.

The eighteen powerful beings joined forces to activate the formation, beginning to merge Hell into the Netherworld.

The laws collided, and the Great Dao roared.

Adapt through collisions, and find harmony through adaptation.

Seeking truth, Xuanming emerged from the mountains and entered the netherworld to offer assistance.

Seven powerful figures from the Great Zhou Dynasty, a powerful figure from the Phoenix Clan, a powerful figure from the Nanhua Temple, and three neutral powerful figures gathered at Fuyun Mountain. Led by Daoist Yuchen, they each took on different tasks to refine the Star Flag.

The underworld.

Xuanming raised his hand, and thirty-six streams of chaotic energy, condensed from the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Divine Power, emerged, evolving into twelve streams of energy that activated the twelve Earthly Branches Laws of the Earth, assisting Hell in merging with the Netherworld.

This matter is inherently beneficial to the evolution of the netherworld, which the underworld desires and the netherworld rejoices in, thus the force of repulsion is not great.

After six months of adjustment, they became completely integrated.

In this process, laws evolve, principles are derived, and all those who comprehend them gain something.

The moment Hell and the Netherworld merged into one, the Netherworld trembled greatly, the tunnels roared, and the vast river of the tunnels temporarily manifested, surging endlessly. All the great beings were overjoyed and seized the time to comprehend it.

Even the leader of the Taiping Dao, Zhong Neng, and Ji Yuan were no exception, their expressions were infatuated and their expressions were focused.

With the blessing of the Yellow Court Qi in the exterior and middle scenes, Xuanming also focused on comprehending the Dao, and his Dao cultivation and foundation increased at a visible speed.

The Seven Immortals of Xuanxu also seized the time to comprehend it.

Houtu Niangniang trembled, her aura becoming incomparably sacred, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation behind her almost materialized.

The next moment, she raised her hand, and a large number of laws gathered in her palm. Houtu Niangniang rose into the air, radiating endless divine light, stepping on the laws of reincarnation.

A few breaths later, she plunged into the underground river, her towering divine body merging with the underground passage, and the deathly aura of the laws of reincarnation intensified.

Witnessing this scene, Xuanming raised his hand and sent his understanding of the Great Dao of Reincarnation into it, to help the Empress.

The deathly aura of the Law of Reincarnation intensified, and then, from the depths of death, life was reborn. The Goddess Houtu was resurrected from the ashes, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation behind her truly came into being from nothing, transforming from the illusory into the real.

She is inseparable from the cycle of reincarnation.

She is reincarnation, and reincarnation is her.

The Goddess Houtu reshaped her divine body, and countless earthly laws surged into it, shaping her meridians, internal organs, limbs, facial features, hair, and divine robes...

When the Six Paths of Reincarnation merged into the Earthly Path, the Law of Reincarnation transformed into the Rules of Reincarnation. Houtu Niangniang was first imbued with the Rules of Reincarnation, and then with half of the rules of the Earthly Path.

This deity later surpassed others, his cultivation level steadily increasing, exceeding that of the Great Emperor Gouchen, the Heavenly Venerable Taiyi Jiuku, and the Divine Lord of the Southern Heaven, before finally reaching the level of a half-immortal.

Immediately, the rumbling from the tunnel grew even louder, resounding throughout the universe and audible to all living beings.

A celestial being has been born.

The underworld was established.

Unify the netherworld.

Hell was created.

Reincarnation and birth.

The long-accumulated resources erupted like a volcano, the earth's energy surged, mountains rose from the ground, plains emerged, rivers flowed, valleys sank, and the original landscape expanded rapidly.

Mineral resources and spiritual veins were born in abundance, vegetation flourished, quickly blossomed and bore fruit, and grains sprouted rapidly, resulting in a bountiful harvest in the blink of an eye.

Strangely, there were no casualties or damage to any of the buildings.

The laws of the earth multiply.

The rules of the underground passage have skyrocketed.

The entire universe, including heaven, earth, and man, underwent a transformation.

The proportion of underground passages has increased, and the situation of human supremacy has improved. Although it is still abnormal and the underground passages still need to be developed, the world is obviously different. There is a mysterious spirituality and a great vitality. The rules have changed and the Great Dao River has widened. It is like a person who is terminally ill has taken a spiritual medicine and his condition has begun to improve. His mental state has been completely renewed.

This is something that the great power of heaven and earth feels most deeply.
