Chapter 157 The Reincarnation of Emperor Yu Ling: The Opportunity to Advance to the Twelfth Realm
Outside Yujing City.

Taixu Zhenjun walked through the air, his eyes flashing constantly.

Shenxiao Zhenjun was somewhat tempted by the Yuanchu Emperor's proposal, and he had seen it all.

First, cultivate an invincible body, and then let the invincible body determine the affiliation of the guardian deity.

This proposal differed somewhat from his original plan.

but……

Fortunately, True Man Jiuchen sacrificed three hundred years of his lifespan to set up a plan to seize the initiative.

To this day, no one knows that Li Qingya is a disciple of their Qiankun Sect.

The Qiankun Sect could easily operate in both the open and covert ways, allowing its top talents to attract the attention of other forces and giving Li Qingya a chance to develop his abilities at his own pace.

Taixu Zhenjun fell into deep thought, calculating the chances of victory for the Qiankun Sect.

A moment later, the aura around True Lord Taixu subsided, his eyes closed slightly, and he sighed.

"Then let it be as Your Majesty says!"

"Divine Firmament True Lord, what is your opinion?"

Although he knew that Shenxiao Zhenjun was already interested, Taixu Zhenjun still asked a question.

"hehe--"

"In terms of combat strength among those of the same level, I, Lei Xiu, fear no one!"

"Since you two are willing to make this deal, I will naturally risk my life to accompany you!"

As soon as Shenxiao Zhenjun finished speaking, the void twisted.

A hearty laugh echoed from the void.

"Hahaha--"

"This is such an interesting game, add me to the group!"

A middle-aged man dressed in a blue Taoist robe walked out of the void.

Behind him stood a phantom of a divine tree, towering into the sky and standing upright, much like the legendary Jianmu tree that connected heaven and earth in ancient times.

"Guicang, you've come too!"

Taixu Zhenjun's expression was complicated. The person who came was Guicang Zhenjun, the sect leader of Shennong Valley.

The arrival of the True Lord of Guizang means that the other sect leaders of the Ten Great Dao Courts are not far behind.

Sure enough, in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the leaders of the ten major Daoist courts arrived one after another.

These powerhouses at the twelfth realm had their auras intertwined, and even though they deliberately concealed their auras, they still gathered into a terrifying storm in the sky.

Upon hearing Emperor Yuanchu's proposal, the other Daoist masters all voiced their agreement.

The sudden appearance of the Underworld Emperor caught them completely off guard.

Even though they used their sect's resources to rush to Yujing as quickly as possible, they were still a step too late.

They thought the emergence of the primordial deities was none of their business, but unexpectedly, the Yuan Chu Emperor's suggestion brought them back to the table.

They were happy to see the Qiankun Sect suffer a loss.

"Everyone, since you all agree, let us swear by our inner demons, and then each of you will place a seal on the Underworld Emperor."

"Great!"

"Great!"

"Great!"

……

Millions of miles away.

In the Mangshan Mountains, gray mist permeates the air, shrouding the area year-round.

Everyone thought that Zhou Jueyin would appear in Yujing City, but no one expected that he would actually appear in Mangshan, a million miles away from Yujing City.

Zhou Jueyin looked up at the direction of Yujing City, a smile playing on his lips.

"Judging by the time, the city of Yujing must be awash in blood!"

"Hehe—it's time for me to take action too!"

Zhou Jueyin entered Mangshan to seek his opportunity to advance to the twelfth realm.

Many years ago, he killed the current emperor of the Yu Dynasty in the Southern Wilderness and learned an astonishing piece of news from him.

The last emperor of the Yu Dynasty, Emperor Ling of Yu, was still alive.

At the time of the fall of the Yu Dynasty, he reversed the fate of the nation, turning himself and his personal guards into ghost cultivators, who slumbered in the Mangshan Mountains.

Furthermore, Emperor Yu Ling possesses the opportunity to advance to the twelfth realm.

Normally, he would never have come to Mangshan to seek opportunities.

It wasn't that they were afraid of Emperor Yu Ling, that old man, but rather that they were worried that making too much of a fuss would attract other experts.

Now, all the masters in the world are focused on the Yin Emperor in Jade Capital City, which is a golden opportunity for him to seize the opportunity.

When Zhou Jueyin entered Mangshan, the environment before him changed instantly.

Above the sky, dark clouds obscured the sun, and a chilling wind howled.

The entire Mangshan Mountain was shrouded in a deep gloom, resembling a ghostly realm.

"Who are you?"

"Stop coming?"

Da da da--

As the sound of hooves fell, a troop of ghost cavalry charged toward Zhou Jueyin.

These ghost cavalrymen, riding tall horses, had green ghost flames flickering in their eye sockets, and their aura was no less than that of cultivators in the sixth realm.

If the Ghost Rider hadn't sensed the aura emanating from the person before him, which resembled an abyss, he would have already killed him with a single spear thrust.

When Zhou Jueyin saw the newcomer, he chuckled and said in a deep voice.

"Please go and inform them that I, Zhou Jueyin, wish to see His Majesty Emperor Yuling."

"Humph--"

"Since you actually know that His Majesty is in Mangshan, then you cannot be allowed to live!"

Upon hearing this, the captain of the Ghost Cavalry's eyes flashed with a chilling killing intent amidst the flickering ghost flames.

Emperor Ling of Yu resided in Mangshan, a fact known only to the emperors of the Yu dynasty.

The person before me was acting suspiciously and was clearly not a descendant of the Yu Dynasty emperor.

In an instant, he made the decision to kill the person in front of him.

The Ghost Cavalry were Emperor Yu Ling's personal guards, the last elite force of the Great Yu Dynasty.

Even after ten thousand years, they have not forgotten the methods of military formations.

In less than three breaths, this squad of ghost cavalry formed a battle formation and charged towards Zhou Jueyin.

"Ugh--"

"I do not wish to start a bloodbath, so why are you forcing me to take action?"

As Zhou Jueyin sighed, his robes instantly ripped apart, and his body rapidly expanded, revealing his true form.

The next second, a monster with a human head and a snake's body appeared on Mount Mang.

The colossal creature, thirty feet tall and resembling a small hill, exudes a terrifying sense of oppression.

The monster exuded a terrifying and chilling aura.

This aura is so sinister that it seems completely unlike anything a human could possess.

Even the Ghost Riders, these beings that were neither human nor ghost, were startled when they saw this monster with a human head and a snake's body.

With a sweep of its tail, a howling gust of wind swept across all directions.

In a single encounter, the Ghost Cavalry squad was crushed into dust.

Rumbling--

Zhou Jueyin charged toward the main peak of Mangshan.

Wherever it passed, it left a deep mark, a full ten feet deep.

Along the way, many ghost cavalrymen came to stop him, but they were all easily crushed in a single encounter.

Its power and influence were terrifying; it moved in and out as if there were no people there, and roamed freely in all directions.

The elite ghost soldiers under Emperor Yu Ling were no match for Zhou Jueyin.

Just as Zhou Jueyin arrived at the main peak, a dense ghostly aura, almost tangible, shot into the sky.

In an instant, there were howls of ghosts and wolves, and the weather changed color.

Sensing the terrifying ghostly aura, Zhou Jueyin stopped in his tracks, looked up, and sneered.

"Your Majesty, have you finally decided to show yourself?"

This ghostly aura originated from Emperor Yu Ling, who had transformed into a ghost cultivator.

"Young man, what brings you to Beiman Mountain and disturb my peaceful cultivation?" Emperor Yu Ling's voice came from the ghostly aura.

It seems so close, yet so far away.

"I've heard that Your Majesty possesses the head of the Teng Snake. Would you be willing to part with it?" Zhou Jueyin didn't beat around the bush with Emperor Yu Ling and stated his purpose directly.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yu Ling paused for a moment and then let out a sigh.

"I see!"

"So that's what you're planning!"

"I never imagined that ten thousand years later, there would still be people practicing such evil arts."

"I don't know whether to say you're lucky or unlucky, to actually obtain the body of the Bashe at a time like this." Emperor Yu Ling saw Zhou Jueyin's form and Zhou Jueyin's purpose.

Then they knew that Zhou Jueyin had cultivated such an extremely evil secret technique.

The other party needs the head of the Tengshe to advance to the twelfth realm.

Emperor Ling of Yu offered a tactful word of advice.

"Young man, it's not too late for you to stop now."

"Once the head of the Teng Snake is refined, there will be no room for regret."

Emperor Yu Ling's advice was ignored by King Zhou Jueyin. He simply smiled faintly, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"Please grant my request, Your Majesty!"

"What if I don't agree?" Emperor Yu Ling suddenly changed the subject, and the atmosphere on Mount Mang instantly froze.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jueyin was not angry; instead, his smile deepened.

"If Your Majesty is unwilling to grant my request, then I will have no choice but to take it myself."

Having said that, the enormous snake tail slapped out.

The terrifying force smashed a small hill to pieces, sending rocks flying and sparks flying everywhere.

Seeing Zhou Jueyin's aggressive demeanor, Emperor Yu Ling, who had just been looking cold and stern, suddenly burst into laughter, revealing an approving look in his eyes.

"Hahaha--"

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a courageous junior like you."

"You dare to cultivate even a forbidden technique like the Thousand Tribulations Dragon Transformation, so why should I be afraid to lend you a hand?"

Emperor Yu Ling's attitude suddenly changed completely.

With a flick of his right hand, a huge snake head floated above his palm.

Upon seeing the snake head in Emperor Yu Ling's hand, Zhou Jueyin's eyes revealed a greedy expression.

This was his goal in coming to Mangshan—the head of the Tengshe!
It was also the opportunity for him to advance to the twelfth realm.

The forbidden technique of the Thousand Tribulations Serpent Dragon Transformation requires the practitioner to merge with a serpentine demon beast.

The higher the grade of the bloodline of a snake-type demon beast, the greater the assistance it provides to cultivators, and the higher the probability of breaking through bottlenecks.

While suppressing bandits in the southern wilderness, he obtained the body of the Bashe in a secret realm.

Originally, he did not intend to cultivate the forbidden technique, the Thousand Tribulations Serpent Dragon Transformation.

Because none of the cultivators who practiced the forbidden technique of the Thousand Tribulations Dragon Transformation had a good ending.

However, after Emperor Yuanchu severed his physical body, he was forced to take a risky move by using his Yin soldiers to merge with the body of the Bashe serpent.

Not only did they return to their peak, but they also made further progress.

They are only one step away from the twelfth realm.

The Bashe is a legendary ancient mythical beast with an extremely high status.

If he had a complete body, Zhou Jueyin could directly advance to the twelfth realm by relying on the secret technique of the Thousand Tribulations Serpent Dragon Transformation.

Unfortunately, the snake's head was cut off, leaving only the body of the Bashe he obtained.

Therefore, Zhou Jueyin's Thousand Tribulations Dragon Transformation had flaws and defects.

He came here for the head of the Teng Snake.

After refining the head of the Teng Snake, one can make up for its flaws and defects, and go a step further to become a cultivator of the twelfth realm.

After receiving the head of the Tengshe, a fiery glint appeared in Zhou Jueyin's eyes.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Having said that, he put away his snake form, transformed into a streak of light, and left Mangshan.

After Zhou Jueyin left, a burly ghost general respectfully approached Emperor Yu Ling.

This burly ghost general was a confidant of Emperor Yu Ling.

Before transforming into a ghost cultivator, he was the commander of Emperor Yu Ling's imperial guards, and was extremely loyal.

He knelt on one knee and asked in a muffled voice.

"Your Majesty, are we just going to let him off so easily?"

"It's alright!" Emperor Yu Ling waved his hand dismissively, a smile playing on his lips. "He and I are of the same ilk."

"With such an interesting junior like him, Emperor Yuanchu is probably going to have a headache."

Emperor Yu Ling sneered, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

He reversed the fate of the nation and transformed into a ghost cultivator, naturally unwilling to let the foundation of the Great Yu Dynasty be destroyed in his hands.

He lay dormant in Mangshan for ten thousand years, all for the purpose of overthrowing the Great Qian Dynasty and restoring the glory of the Great Yu Dynasty.

"Just recently, I sensed that the chessboard of heaven and earth and the chess pieces of all living beings have been born."

"I never imagined that someone would actually manage to collect them all after ten thousand years!"

Upon hearing this, the burly ghost general immediately volunteered, saying:

"Your Majesty, please allow me to retrieve these two treasures for you."

As a confidant of Emperor Yu Ling, the burly ghost general naturally understood the importance of these two treasures in Emperor Yu Ling's heart.

It is even above the innate spiritual treasure that suppresses the fortune of the Great Yu Dynasty.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yu Ling smiled with satisfaction.

Even after ten thousand years, my old man is still loyal!

However, he immediately shook his head, rejecting the burly ghost general's suggestion.

"The chessboard of heaven and earth and the chess pieces of all living beings were born in the Jade Capital City."

“Yujing City is the territory of Emperor Yuanchu. Once you step into it, you will definitely not escape his notice.”

"This matter requires my personal attention."

"Today, I will sever a wisp of my spirit and reincarnate it in the Jade Capital."

"However, this secret technique comes at a high price; I will fall into a deep sleep for a period of time."

"While I am in my slumber, I will entrust all matters concerning Mangshan to you."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will never allow anyone to set foot on Mount Mang."

The burly ghost general patted his chest and assured him.

Emperor Yu Ling nodded slightly and waved his hand, and the burly ghost general withdrew in response.

Then, Emperor Yu Ling moved his ten fingers in rapid succession, like a butterfly flitting among flowers, forming a mysterious hand seal.

"The Soul's Destiny Resides in the World!"

Emperor Yu Ling severed a fragment of his soul.

The excruciating pain that tore at the soul was like a mere tickle to this former emperor.

His expression remained unchanged, and he calmly performed his secret technique.

A mysterious energy emanated from him.

Immediately afterwards, a black vortex appeared out of thin air.

Within the vortex flowed the aura of the Netherworld, the Underworld, and reincarnation.

Within the deathly silence, there is a profound and ineffable depth.

Whoosh!
After being distracted by the black vortex, Emperor Yu Ling's face showed signs of fatigue.

……

Outside of Mangshan.

Zhou Jueyin sensed the aura of his avatar and immediately stopped in his tracks.

A moment later, a black beam of light descended.

With a sweep of his divine sense, Zhou Jueyin frowned deeply. He could not sense the aura of the Book of Life and Death on the avatar.

"return!"

Zhou Jueyin withdrew the divine soul from his external avatar, and the two began to synchronize their memories.

A moment later, he understood what had happened to his avatar in the God-Slaying Array.

The Ninth Prince displayed strength far exceeding what the outside world could perceive.

Zhou Jueyin's expression remained unchanged in the face of this.

Even if the Ninth Prince uses a secret technique to temporarily possess the cultivation level of the seventh realm, so what?

In his eyes, there was no difference between the fourth and seventh realms.

They are all ants!

There was only one thing that made Zhou Jueyin suspicious and uncertain.

"The Nine Nether Seal has gone out of control!"

"how is this possible?"

"I refined the Nine Nether Seal long ago, and it is absolutely impossible for the Nine Nether Seal to go out of control."

"Unless we encounter the former master of the Nine Nether Seal, Lord Huangquan."

"Could it be that Fang Heng is the reincarnation of the Lord of the Underworld?"

"Impossible, Fang Heng is a genuine member of the royal family... No, given Fang Qi's cunning nature, he might very well have a backup plan."

"Having the Lord of the Underworld reincarnate as one's own descendant is very much in line with Fang Qi's style!"

King Zhou's expression changed repeatedly, becoming increasingly gloomy and uncertain.
