Super Hero Monk: Hormones Journey to the West

Chapter 365 Battle in the Underworld
It turns out that there is another T0-level secret in the Yuan Shu Hall, which is about the underworld.

The underworld is a place that mortals fear and have many misunderstandings about.

Tang Xuanci had always believed that the underworld was a vast underground cave. After a ghost or spirit leaves the body, it can descend into the ground and reach a certain depth, where it will suddenly open up and arrive at the underworld.

It was only later that I realized this was not scientific.

The souls of mortals are extremely fragile. Their consciousness becomes blurred after death, and they cannot escape underground without the help of underworld messengers to collect their souls.

If the primordial spirit of an immortal leaves the body and continues to descend underground, it will only reach the mantle layer with an average temperature of 2000 degrees Celsius. Then, because it is too far from the body, it will be weakened exponentially and unable to withstand the high temperature radiation, and will turn to ashes.

Research has shown that the underworld is similar to the Sumeru realm, a special space created by the interaction of superimposed energy and spacetime curvature at the bottom of the three realms.

Without using a special passage, even if you were to carve a vertical tunnel from the Southern Hemisphere to the Northern Hemisphere, you still wouldn't be able to enter the underworld.

This special passage is like a portal to the Sumeru Realm.

However, the portal of the Sumeru Treasure is temporary, while the underworld passages are naturally existing and distributed throughout the four continents.

Among them, there are ten famous passages, located deep within Lingshan Lingyun Ferry, Fengdu Luoshan, Dongyue Taishan, Kunlun Guimenguan, Changbaishan Tianchi, and other places.

These are equivalent to ten official roads leading from the celestial realm to the underworld; once you enter, you will arrive at the Ten Capitals of the Underworld.

At the center of the Ten Capitals Underworld lies the River of Oblivion and the place of the Six Paths of Reincarnation;

The organization that manages the ten capitals is the Ten Palaces of the Underworld;

The person in charge of managing the Ten Courts of Hell is the Ten Kings of Hell.

Of course, besides the ten official roads, there are many other passages of varying sizes that can also lead to the underworld.

Entering through these passages, the resulting Yin Realm may be connected to the largest Yin Realm, the Ten Capitals Yin Realm; or it may not be connected, but rather a small, enclosed Yin Realm like the Sumeru Realm.

It is worth mentioning that there is also a major passage in Heizhou that leads to the Yin Domain, which is connected to Shidu.

When the Tathagata was implementing the "Drifting Plan," Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva led his followers in a sudden uprising, attacking the two capitals near the Black Continent and occupying the Palace of the Wheel of Reincarnation and the Palace of the City King.

According to the beaker description, the underground structure of the Three Realms is not a simple, layered solid sphere as the home planet has explored with technology.

It's more like a... microscopic atom.

It appears solid on the surface, but inside it is empty, chaotic, and constantly in motion.

Just like the Yin and Yang of Heaven, the Earth is also divided into Yin and Yang.

The mantle is like a superimposed electron cloud, which is yin; the Earth's core is like a chaotic atomic nucleus, which is yang.

Once Yin and Yang are out of balance, it will affect the interaction between Heaven and Earth, just like the sun and moon being out of position, and have a huge, even devastating, impact on the Three Realms.

According to the secret scrolls of the Heavenly Court, the ancient war between all races caused the sky to collapse and the earth to crumble, Mount Sumeru to topple, and the four continents to break apart and drift. This was mainly caused by a group of ancient big shots causing trouble in the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

After that catastrophe, the spiritual energy level of the entire Three Realms was reduced by more than half, which directly caused countless races that were born with intelligence to degenerate into mortals, born with intellectual disabilities, and need to absorb spiritual energy after birth to develop intelligence.

That catastrophe was far from the limit that could be achieved by disrupting the underworld.

After all, the ancient bosses who fought back then started the chaos unintentionally.

But now, having learned from experience, if it were deliberately provoked, it could very well be enough to cause the underworld to collapse, heaven and earth to turn against each other, spiritual energy to disappear, and all living beings to either die young or mutate... destroying the entire civilization of the Three Realms.

So, the beaker came up with a bold conspiracy theory—

If she were the Jade Emperor, seeing that all was lost and lacking sufficient bargaining chips, then her preferred strategy would be to first seize control of the Underworld, secretly carry out a massive cataclysmic project there, and then use it as the ultimate deterrent in negotiations with all living beings.

It's even possible that the Jade Emperor also reached a strategic cooperation agreement with Buddha and Laozi, allowing these two old men to keep Tang Xuanci occupied on the ground, giving him enough time to secretly begin his work underground.

After all, the Buddhist and Taoist sects each control two or three of the ten courts in the underworld, so it would be difficult for the Jade Emperor to completely keep them in the dark.

Good guy!
Upon hearing this conspiracy theory, Tang Xuanci immediately launched into a tirade, questioning why Beaker hadn't thought of it earlier.
If the Three Realms civilization is destroyed, even if he, his three disciples, and dozens of concubines survive, their chances of returning to their home planet will be slim.

So if the Jade Emperor succeeds and threatens to draw a boundary, he really has no choice but to agree.

After cursing, Tang Xuanci immediately made a decision to attack the underworld and kill this old scoundrel, with the speed that even the Jade Emperor couldn't catch.

So he launched a live broadcast at the Lingxiao Public Hall, presenting the beaker conspiracy theory as a definitive conclusion to the public, which once again ignited the anger of the masses.

Then, it was only natural to mobilize a large army and launch a four-pronged attack on the underworld from Luoshan, Taishan, Guimenguan, and Tianchi.

The great battle in the underworld has begun.

As it turns out, the beaker's hypothesis was indeed correct.

Even Buddha and the Taoist patriarch were not wronged. On the surface, they were negotiating with the various nations, but in reality, they had already started the "ultimate deterrence plan" with the Jade Emperor.

When Tang Xuanci launched an attack on the underworld, they abandoned their pretense and joined the battle again, doing their utmost to stop him.

Fortunately, it is not so easy to truly cause devastating damage to the underworld and severely imbalance the yin and yang of the earth.

During a period of stability, the Heavenly Court would not allow anyone to undertake such a project in the Underworld, threatening its own interests.

Therefore, Tang Xuanci had plenty of time.

After completely breaking down the barriers between immortals and mortals, he fully mobilized the human, material, metaphysical, and technological resources of the vast regions, causing the productivity index of the Three Realms to explode, and a combat mode based on "productivity" has been fully upgraded.

Many monsters and cultivators left the combat forces, received training in transformation skills, and devoted themselves to the arms production line, frantically manufacturing intelligent weapons that "make mortal bodies comparable to gods."

For example, "flapping-wing drones" and "arthropod mechanical insects" produced by mimicking the structure of bionic insects, when equipped with different levels of guns and missiles, can effectively kill enemy troops at different levels of skill, reducing the risk of casualties among friendly soldiers.

The intelligent internal program can also effectively identify friend or foe, making it difficult for the enemy to use the weapons and equipment directly even if they are captured by the enemy.

Many low-level demon cultivators, and even mortals, can join the combat force as long as they can master the use of these weapons and equipment.

In this way, more advanced demon cultivators with transformation skills will be put into production, and productivity will explode.

Productivity is even more explosive, the production of intelligent weapons is higher, and they can replace more advanced demon cultivators in combat;
More high-level demon cultivators can avoid fighting and instead focus on production...

Step on your right foot with your left foot, and you'll be sent flying!

At this time, the True Martial Emperor had already established himself in Beiju Luzhou and was fighting with the Ziwei Emperor, who had also gone to the northern border to seize territory. He no longer cared about the Jade Emperor.

The war in the underworld lasted only two and a half months before the already weakened Heavenly Buddha Alliance could no longer hold on.

Moreover, when the Jade Emperor's insane plan was fully confirmed, even many of the Heavenly Court's former subordinates felt that it was too crazy and couldn't help but have thoughts of defecting.

Soon, the betrayal of a key figure directly brought the war in the underworld to an early end.

She is the Queen Mother of the West, Gouhui.
