Chapter 207 Taking Control of the Six Paths and Rebuilding the Undying Chaos Body
Upon hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought. This method was indeed a solution, as it could not only repair the Land of Reincarnation, but also allow each person to take charge of a path.

"What we two have obtained is the Human Path, which we can refine and take control of among the Six Paths," Fuxi suddenly said to the crowd.

"The Human Realm is the place of reincarnation for our human race. It concerns all living beings and is connected to the fate of the human race. It should be governed by our Holy Emperors." Hongyun nodded in agreement.

It would be most suitable for the Human Race Holy Emperor to take charge of the Human Path, one of the Six Paths. This would be a good thing for the Human Race, as well as for Fuxi and Hongyun, so naturally they would not refuse.

However, the Taoist Taiqing frowned slightly. As the leader of the Human Sect, he was responsible for educating all living beings and was also suitable to take charge of the Human Realm.

However, Fuxi and Hongyun were both holy emperors of the human race, and what they obtained was a fragment of the human realm. Although Taiqing Daoist was unwilling, he could not say much.

"What we, the Wu Clan, have obtained are fragments of the Heavenly God Path, which can be refined by Lady Pingxin to take control of the Heavenly God Path. Anyone with even a sliver of opportunity to become an immortal or god, or to be listed among the immortals of the Heavenly Court, can be reincarnated through the Heavenly God Path to rule the Six Paths." Dijiang, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke to the crowd.

Upon hearing Dijiang's words, everyone nodded in agreement. It was perfectly fine for Consort Pingxin to refine the fragments of the Heavenly God Path.

However, if it were the Wu tribe, the situation would be completely different, and there would certainly be people who would object.

"What I obtained are fragments of the Hell Path and the Hungry Ghost Path, and I can also wield power over these two paths, but..." Li Xuanyang paused slightly.

Whether it is the three good realms or the three evil realms, they are all part of the cycle of reincarnation for sentient beings. All those who enter the cycle of reincarnation should be included in all six realms. According to their merits in their previous lives, those who are good will naturally enter the three good realms, and those who are evil will naturally enter the three evil realms.

Therefore, there is no distinction between good and bad, high and low in the six realms; it all depends on the merits and evil deeds of each person in their previous life, and has nothing to do with who governs the six realms.

However, things are different for Li Xuanyang compared to the other saints and emperors.

Taiqing Daoist, along with Fuxi and Hongyun, naturally hoped to take charge of the Human Realm, while the Animal Realm would be of great use to Nuwa and Shangqing Daoist.

Since the great war between the Lich and Demon races, the descendants of the great demons have become increasingly rare. If they could take charge of the Animal Path to continue the bloodline of the demon race, that would be ideal.

The Shangqing Daoist and the Jie Sect have always been inclusive in their teachings, with most of their disciples being demons and other beings who have attained enlightenment. If they could take charge of the Animal Path, it would be a good thing for the Jie Sect.

However, the fragments of the Animal Realm have already fallen into the hands of the Taiqing Daoist, and neither Nuwa nor the Shangqing Daoist have come.

Even though Meng Po looked at Taiqing Daoist as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, she couldn't really ask for the fragment of the Animal Path.

In comparison, the fragments of the Hell Path and Hungry Ghost Path obtained by Li Xuanyang are more suitable for being managed by Lady Pingxin or the Great Emperor of Fengdu.

"Fellow Daoist, do you feel there is something amiss?" Seeing Li Xuanyang suddenly fall into deep thought and remain silent, Lady Pingxin couldn't help but ask him.

“There is nothing wrong with it.” Hearing what Lady Pingxin said, Li Xuanyang shook his head, composed himself, and said to the direction of the Netherworld Blood Sea, “It’s just that when we were collecting the fragments of the Chaos Reincarnation Disc, Daoist Styx took the opportunity to steal the fragments of the Asura Path.”

"If Your Majesty wishes to use the fragments of the Chaos Reincarnation Disc to repair the Land of Reincarnation and divide it into the Six Paths, you must gather all the fragments, or have Daoist Styx take charge of the Asura Path!"

In fact, the Netherworld Blood Sea existed first, followed by the Netherworld Land. Later, Houtu transformed into the Netherworld Underworld and the Land of Reincarnation in her Ancestral Witch form. The Styx Daoist was not only the master of the Netherworld Blood Sea, but also created the Asura race and established the Asura Cult, making him perfectly suited to lead the Asura Path.

However, when Daoist Styx unleashed the two innate killing swords, Yuan Tu and A Bi, along with countless Blood God Children, Li Xuanyang felt a faint sense of unease.

Its killing Dao Law is so powerful that it far exceeds the range of the Two Corpse Quasi-Saints and is enough to reach the realm of the Three Corpse Quasi-Saints.

If he were to take control of the Asura realm again, it would certainly not be a good thing for the Netherworld.

"That Daoist Styx is not only one of our fellow Daoists in Zixiao Palace, but he also refined the origin of the Netherworld Blood Sea, transforming it into 480 million Blood God Children. He is known as the Blood Sea will never dry up and the Styx will never die. Even we saints cannot do anything to him."

Upon hearing Li Xuanyang mention Daoist Styx, Daoist Yuqing couldn't help but reveal a hint of helplessness. Daoist Styx had hidden himself in the Netherworld Blood Sea and was not coming out. How could he possibly hand over the fragments of the Asura Path?

Even a sage would not dare to burn the Netherworld Blood Sea to force the Styx Daoist out, otherwise he would suffer boundless karma.

"In that case, we can only let him take charge of the Asura Path!" Lady Pingxin nodded, not too worried about it. After all, compared to repairing the Samsara Land, letting Daoist Styx take charge of the Asura Path was a small matter.

Empress Pingxin bowed to the crowd and said, "I urge all fellow Daoists to return as soon as possible to refine the fragments of the Chaos Reincarnation Disc to perfection and repair the Reincarnation Land as soon as possible."

"In that case, we, the humble Taoist priests, will take our leave of Your Highness!" Upon hearing this, everyone bowed and said goodbye to Lady Pingxin, and then got up and left the Pingxin Hall.

Seeing everyone leave, Hongyun suddenly said to Li Xuanyang, "Fellow Daoist, why don't we return to the Fire Cloud Cave together for a few days? We can refine the fragments of the Chaos Reincarnation Disc together then."

Upon receiving Hongyun's invitation, Li Xuanyang cupped his hands in greeting and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to go. It has been a long time since I last returned to Xuanyang Mountain since the Peach Banquet."

"Now that the matter of the Human Emperor has been settled, I intend to return to the mountains to cultivate in seclusion for a period of time."

Hearing Li Xuanyang's words, Hongyun naturally couldn't insist, and could only say to Li Xuanyang, "If you have time in the future, you will definitely come to Huoyun Cave."

"That's only right. Fellow Daoists, we'll meet again!" After saying this, Li Xuanyang and Daoist Zilian each had a flash of cloud light beneath their feet, directly shattering space and leaving the Netherworld.

However, upon returning to the skies above the easternmost point, one could still see dense Netherworld energy.

Even with the divine light of the stars descending from the heavens, gradually refining it, and with Yun Zhongzi and others, along with disciples of the three sects of Ren, Chan, and Jie repairing the broken parts of space, separating the Netherworld from the Primordial World.

But it seems that it will take some time.

Thinking of this, Li Xuanyang pointed to the Innate Yin-Yang Divine Diagram used to seal the spatial rift. Instantly, it shone brightly, spreading across the void and transforming into black and white Innate Yin-Yang Qi, as well as a wisp of golden Innate Xuan Yang Divine Light, illuminating billions of miles of land.

Whether it was the evil energy of the Nine Netherworlds or the vengeful ghosts that had escaped from the Netherworld, they were all turned into wisps of black smoke and disappeared when illuminated by the Primordial Profound Yang Divine Light. Only then did Li Xuanyang retrieve the Primordial Yin-Yang Two Elements Divine Diagram.

"Fellow Daoist, please keep this safe!" As he spoke, Li Xuanyang flicked his sleeve and took out the fragment of the Hungry Ghost Path, handing it to the Purple Lotus Daoist, saying, "Fellow Daoist, your true form is the twelfth-grade innate Reincarnation Purple Lotus, and you also hold the position of the Purple Star Emperor, so you are perfectly suited to govern the Hungry Ghost Path!"

"As for the fragments of the Hell Path!"

A flash of light enveloped Li Xuanyang as he retrieved the Innate Twelfth Grade Destruction Black Lotus, which landed in the air and transformed into a Taoist priest—the Black Lotus Taoist.

“Fellow Daoist is the Great Emperor of Fengdu, in charge of the Underworld, and is perfectly suited to refine this fragment of the Hell Path!” Li Xuanyang took out the fragment of the Hell Path and handed it to the Black Lotus Daoist for him to refine. He himself did not intend to take charge of one of the Six Paths and be connected to its destiny.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist!" Black Lotus Daoist accepted the fragment of Hell Path and bowed to Li Xuanyang.

"Fellow Daoist, why not refine it yourself and take control of both paths!" Seeing Li Xuanyang hand over the Hell Path fragment to the Black Lotus Daoist, the Purple Lotus Daoist glanced at the Ghost Path fragment in his hand, looking puzzled, and asked Li Xuanyang.

"I have no need to manage two paths!" Upon hearing the words of the Purple Lotus Daoist, Li Xuanyang chuckled lightly without offering any further explanation.

"By the way!" Seeing Li Xuanyang smile without saying anything, the Purple Lotus Daoist did not ask any further questions. He put away the fragment of the Hungry Ghost Dao and asked Li Xuanyang, "This time, the Witch Clan attacked the Heavenly Court. Zhu Rong and other Ancestral Witches severely injured Haotian and Yaochi, destroying their Dao foundation and breaking their Dao cultivation."

At this point, a strange look appeared on the face of the Purple Lotus Daoist. He couldn't help but think of how Li Xuanyang had asked Xuandu to seek help from Haotian, but unexpectedly this had led to this situation.

"Even with the innate spiritual root of the Ren Water Peach, it would take the two of them hundreds of millions of years of arduous cultivation, or even reincarnation, to fully restore their cultivation and supernatural powers."

Being severely injured by Zhu Rong and other ancestral witches is nothing serious; at most, one will need to recuperate for a while.

However, if one's foundation is damaged and one's cultivation is broken, it cannot be recovered simply by resting. One must rebuild one's foundation and regain one's cultivation and supernatural powers.

"I wonder what your plans are, my friend?" The Purple Lotus Daoist explained to Li Xuanyang in detail about the Witch Clan's attack on the Heavenly Court.

"The Witch Clan is quite audacious!" Upon hearing this, the Black Lotus Daoist said with a look of surprise, "Not only did they attack the Heavenly Court and severely injure Haotian and Yaochi, but they even crippled their cultivation and supernatural powers. Aren't they afraid of bringing a great disaster upon the Witch Clan!"

It should be noted that Haotian and Yaochi were the personal attendants of Hongjun Daozu, and were personally appointed by Hongjun Daozu to govern the Heavenly Court.

Not to mention the Wu Clan, even Li Xuanyang and the other sages couldn't do anything to them personally; at most, they could only have their disciples make things difficult for them.

"Hehe!" After hearing what the Purple Lotus Daoist said, Li Xuanyang couldn't help but chuckle. "The Witch Clan has always been like this. Besides, the fact that Haotian and Yaochi have suffered this calamity is exactly what Heaven ordained."

"What do you mean by that, fellow Daoist?" Daoist Zilian and Daoist Heilian looked puzzled. "Although Haotian and Yaochi are the Heavenly Emperor and Empress, in charge of the operation of the primordial world, they still have to go through many tribulations before they can achieve perfect merit. Therefore, every 129,600 years, a tribulation will occur." Li Xuanyang explained with a smile, "This is the operation of heaven and earth, which cannot be avoided. Only in this way can the two of them be able to control the operation of the Heavenly Court and the primordial world."

In the past, when Di Jun and Tai Yi ruled the Heavenly Court, they not only possessed the innate treasures Chaos Bell and Hetu Luoshu to suppress the destiny, but the demon race was also the overlord of the prehistoric world.

However, it still suffered many calamities, either fighting with the Witch Clan or battling with powerful cultivators of the Xuanmen lineage, rarely having a peaceful time.

The Purple Lotus Daoist and the Black Lotus Daoist nodded thoughtfully. "I see. No wonder the saints have remained silent on this matter!"

"Moreover, once Haotian and Yaochi are reincarnated due to calamities, the Heavenly Court will be controlled by the disciples of the three religions of Ren, Chan, and Jie. This will be beneficial to the three religions."

The fact that Laozi did not stop the Wu tribe from attacking the Heavenly Court on that day may have been because he intended to take the opportunity to have disciples of the Chan, Jie, and other schools of thought take control of the Heavenly Court.

Even if Haotian and Yaochi are reincarnated and return as the Heavenly Emperor and Empress, the power in the Heavenly Court will likely be completely taken over by the disciples of the Chan, Jie, and other sects.

Even for Daoist Zilian and Changxi, this is not necessarily a bad thing.

"Alright, fellow Daoists, there's no need to overthink it. Just observe the situation." Li Xuanyang said with a smile, then bid farewell to Daoist Zilian and Daoist Heilian, and each rode away on their own cloud.

Xuan Yang Mountain remained as peaceful as ever. Overseas cultivators would deliberately detour tens of thousands of miles of sea when passing through this place, as a sign of respect.

As a result, the surrounding sea area of ​​Xuan Yang Mountain, spanning tens of thousands of miles, is completely empty, with no signs of any living beings or cultivators in sight.

Upon arriving within the Xuan Yang Mountain sea area, Li Xuan Yang stopped his cloud-like light. Standing atop the golden cloud, he surveyed his surroundings and found that he was not affected by the Nine Netherworld Fiend Qi; the spiritual energy in the sea was not much different from usual.

Only then did he feel relieved, and the light of the clouds fell into the sea.

The Nine Netherworld Qi originates from the Nine Netherworld, tainted by the earth's turbid Qi, and is most adept at eroding spiritual energy. Wherever the Nine Netherworld Qi permeates, spiritual energy vanishes.

This is why Li Xuanyang used the Innate Yin-Yang Divine Diagram and the Innate Xuanyang Divine Light to completely clear away the Nine Netherworld Evil Qi that permeated the primordial world.

As soon as the golden cloud entered Xuan Yang Mountain, it was discovered by the Golden Crane and Silver Crane attendants. By the time Li Xuan Yang landed on the cloud, the Golden Crane and Silver Crane attendants were already waiting in front of the palace gate.

Seeing Li Xuanyang descend from the clouds, the Golden Crane and Silver Crane attendants immediately bowed to him, saying, "Disciples greet Master!"

"Hehe, you two are quite well-behaved. Why didn't you go to Penglai Immortal Island to play?" Li Xuanyang chuckled and teased, looking at the Golden Crane and Silver Crane Boys.

Upon hearing Li Xuanyang mention Penglai Immortal Island, the Golden Crane and Silver Crane Boys blushed.

During this time, Li Xuanyang, Yun Zhongzi, Changxi, Kong Xuan and others were not in the mountains. The two of them often went to Penglai Immortal Island to play, or to visit the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, enjoying a carefree life.

"When something unusual happened in the Netherworld, Senior Brother Kong Xuan rushed back to guard the mountain and even gifted us two disciples with two treasures, which we haven't refined yet!" The Golden Crane and Silver Crane disciples glanced down at Li Xuanyang and whispered.

"Oh, your senior brother Kong Xuan has come back?"

"He also gifted you two two treasures?" Li Xuanyang couldn't help but be a little curious, wondering what kind of opportunity Kong Xuan had obtained to actually gift two treasures, a golden crane and a silver crane.

Upon hearing Li Xuanyang's words, the Golden Crane and Silver Crane Boys flashed with light, each unleashing a beam of light that circled the two before landing in front of them, transforming into a golden and a silver sword. The swords were crystal clear like jade, with faint wisps of sword light emanating from them, and had actually reached the level of the Innate Realm.

Upon seeing this, Li Xuanyang couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation, "You two are quite fortunate, possessing two innate swords!"

"Although its quality cannot be considered a primordial spiritual treasure, but only a primordial magic weapon, it is still a rare find."

Innate swords are always rare. Even with Li Xuanyang's wealth, he only possesses two innate swords: the Moon Devouring Soul Sword and the Qiankun Sword.

Especially for sword cultivators, these two innate swords are enough to transform into sword embryos, becoming innate sword embryos.

"Did your senior brother Kong Xuan teach you two the methods of sword cultivation?" Li Xuanyang withdrew his gaze and suddenly asked the two of them.

Although Kong Xuan had never practiced the Tai Xuan Sword Scripture, he was not unfamiliar with the methods of sword cultivation. In order to unleash the power of the two innate swords, he naturally had to practice the methods of sword cultivation.

Only in this way can the offensive power of the two innate swords be fully unleashed.

Upon hearing Li Xuanyang's words, Jinhe and Jinhe Tongzi nodded in unison, "Master, Senior Brother Kong Xuan did not pass on the methods of sword cultivation, but instead intends to have the two of us..."

At this point, the Golden Crane and Silver Crane Boys blushed and stopped talking, looking as if they wanted to say something but couldn't.

"Haha!" Seeing this, Li Xuanyang couldn't help but chuckle. "Should I have you two ask your master for the Tai Xuan Sword Scripture?"

"Master's predictions are brilliant; Senior Brother Kong Xuan said exactly what he meant." The Golden Crane and Silver Crane attendants said to Li Xuanyang, slightly embarrassed.

Li Xuanyang was not surprised when he heard this.

Although there are many sword cultivation methods overseas nowadays, the Tai Xuan Sword Scripture is the general outline of sword cultivation and the source of sword cultivation. It is not only all-encompassing and contains many sword cultivation supernatural powers, but it is also one of the supreme inheritances of the Xuan Yang lineage. It can be ranked alongside the Innate Xuan Yang True Scripture and the Innate Five Elements True Scripture, and is far superior to ordinary sword cultivation methods.

"Your senior brother has quite the idea," Li Xuanyang said with a laugh, then waved his hand and sent out two beams of light that landed between the eyebrows of the Golden Crane and Silver Crane boys. He then instructed them, "The Tai Xuan Sword Scripture is unlike other Daoist scriptures; it focuses on killing. After you two begin practicing it, you must not rely on this method and the innate sword to fight with others and cause trouble."

"Thank you, Master. We will obey your orders!" The Golden Crane and Silver Crane disciples were both surprised and delighted as they sensed the Tai Xuan Sword Scripture in their minds. They quickly bowed to Li Xuanyang.

"Alright, get up!" Li Xuanyang waved his sleeve, sending out a beam of light that lifted the two men to their feet. He then asked them, "Where are your Senior Brother Kong Xuan and the Nine-Headed Feathered Insect?"

After returning for quite some time, Li Xuanyang not only did not see Kong Xuan, but even the usually most enthusiastic Nine-Headed Feathered Insect did not come.

"Jiuyu is currently in seclusion, breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and forming the Three Flowers of the Primordial Spirit. Senior Brother Kong Xuan is protecting him." As the Golden Crane Boy spoke, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of envy.

Once the Nine-Headed Feathered Insect breaks through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, it can be called a great supernatural being, comparable to the disciples of many sages.

"However, my senior brother instructed me to inform him when the master returns!"

"No need, let him continue to protect Jiuyu. We'll talk about it after Jiuyu breaks through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal!" Li Xuanyang instructed the Golden Crane and the Silver Crane, then stepped into the palace. As he walked, he felt somewhat emotional about the Nine-Headed Feathered Insect's seclusion and breakthrough to the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

When he left Chunyang Cave Heaven and went to the South Sea to find a place to practice, he unexpectedly encountered the Nine-Headed Feathered Insect and Ao Lie, and took them as his mounts to guard his home.

At that time, Li Xuanyang had just taken human form and had not yet forged a magic weapon for attaining enlightenment, while the Nine-Headed Feathered Insect only had the cultivation level of a Golden Immortal.

Countless years have passed, and now the Pure Yang Daoist has been gone for a long time, while the Nine-Headed Feathered Insect is about to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Returning to his cloud bed in the palace, Li Xuanyang had nothing else to do. He spent his days meditating in the palace, comprehending the Primordial Chaos Dao. His primordial spirit was even placed on the laws of the void, using the laws of the Great Dao of Chaos to derive all kinds of the Three Thousand Laws.

The laws within the void are the various laws contained within the primordial world, manifested in the void.

This is why, whether it is a Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivator, a Quasi-Saint Great Divine Power Master, or Li Xuanyang and the other Saints, they all entrust their primordial spirit to the laws of the void.

Now, Li Xuanyang has broken through to the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, and has transformed the Chaos Pearl into a Dao-proving artifact, wielding the laws of Chaos and Space.

However, Li Xuanyang did not focus on the laws of space, but rather on the laws of chaos, transforming them into three thousand innate laws and encompassing them within the laws of chaos. He even planned to gradually transform the laws of chaos into three thousand laws in the future, in order to break through to the realm above the Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

When Hongjun Daozu preached at Zixiao Palace, he only passed on the method of severing corpses and the way of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, without explaining how to break through to higher realms. Therefore, Li Xuanyang could only explore and try on his own.

In addition, Li Xuanyang immersed his mind in the Chaotic Profound Yang True Fire, using it to replace the Innate Profound Yang True Fire, to melt the chaotic energy and temper his physical body, thus cultivating the Chaotic Undying Body.

During this period, the Chaos Undying Body Technique was also completely reorganized and summarized in order to better cultivate with the Chaos Profound Yang True Fire, or even rebuild the Chaos Undying Body.
