This humble Taoist priest, Qianhe, begins his quest for immortality by slaying demons and monsters.

Master Jinghong didn't take Mo Chen Shengjun's amazement to heart; he was well aware of the pressure a rogue immortal like himself placed on these juniors.

The most pressing issue is still to be optimistic about the relationship between China and Belarus.

Even across the distance, Master Jinghong could see everything Zhongbai did.

At this moment, within the space, in the treasure pavilion of the Feathered Immortal Mansion, Zhong Bai sat quietly cross-legged.

The Taishan Prefecture Lord Seal above Zhong Bai's head showed no resistance to Zhong Bai's refining process; in fact, it seemed eager to merge into Zhong Bai's body.

In an instant, the seal of the Yang Realm Inspector within Zhong Bai's body was also summoned. However, after the Yang Realm Inspector Seal came out, a huge suction force firmly adhered it to the Taishan Prefecture Lord Seal. Immediately afterwards, the Yang Realm Inspector Seal merged into the Taishan Prefecture Lord Seal.

Zhong Bai refined it very smoothly. Soon, one of his divine souls was imprinted on the Taishan Prefecture Lord Seal. The moment the Taishan Prefecture Lord Seal was refined, a vast aura burst forth from Zhong Bai's body. That was the divine power belonging to the Taishan Prefecture Lord. At this moment, with the help of the power of the underworld, Zhong Bai had the confidence to face the Yuan Shen realm.

Boom!
The spatial world created by Mo Chen Saint Lord collapsed instantly!

At the same time, the treasure pavilion of the Feathered Immortal Mansion naturally vanished into thin air. However, none of this was important. After Zhong Bai appeared in the Immortal Palace, both Ancestor Jinghong and Saint Lord Mochen noticed the change in Zhong Bai's aura.

"This is the power of the underworld!"

Since Mo Chen Saint Lord cultivated in the Underworld, he was no stranger to the power of the Underworld.

Master Jinghong also frowned. Now that Zhongbai has refined the Taishan Fujun Seal, it is not surprising that he can unleash the power of his primordial spirit with the help of the power of the underworld.

However, before Master Jinghong could speak, Zhongbai, whose eyes had been slightly closed, suddenly opened them.

"I am Zhong Bai, the Inspector of the Mortal Realm!"
Effective immediately, I hereby proclaim myself Lord of Mount Tai!

As Zhongbai's divine side erupted and he proclaimed himself the Lord of Mount Tai, the entire underworld trembled. For tens of thousands of years, the underworld had once again acquired a divine position, and it was a third-rank underworld official like the Lord of Mount Tai.

In an instant, the entire underworld's fortune began to envelop Zhongbai...

As the saying goes, one can learn without a teacher. With the help of the immense divine power within his body, Zhong Bai slowly raised his head and looked up at the void.

"I am the Lord of Mount Tai, and in the name of the Underworld, I request that the Ten Kings of Hell, King of Reincarnation, descend to earth!"

"Will it succeed?"

Master Jinghong saw this clearly. Even though he was a genuine wandering immortal and had not shown any emotional fluctuations for tens of thousands of years, he could not remain calm when faced with the temptation of the Earthly Immortal Realm.

A call rang out across two worlds, in the name of the underworld, and for a moment the entire underworld fell silent...

After a short while, the initial joy of Master Jinghong and Saint Lord Mochen turned into disappointment.

"Looks like it still won't work..."

As soon as Master Jinghong finished speaking, the underworld trembled instantly. Clumps of yin energy condensed into flowers, and the once barren land on the Yellow Springs Road was now filled with wildly growing and blooming spider lilies.

Beneath the Gates of Hell, which had been desolate for tens of thousands of years, divine power was once again unleashed, and the Yellow Springs water beneath the Bridge of Helplessness began to surge...

The long-sealed underworld is now turning like a machine.

Boom!
On the ruins of the palace of King Chakravartin, one of the Ten Kings of Hell, the original ruins are rapidly coalescing into a magnificent palace. Then, yin energy gathers in the void and gradually transforms into a seal, the Seal of King Chakravartin!

The next second, a divine light shot out from the Wheel King Seal, striking the void continuously. Spatial rifts gradually appeared, and the next second, a vast world revealed its true form from the spatial rift. A body that blotted out the sky crossed the boundary. Even though the passage between the two worlds was so narrow, the passage was forcibly widened the instant this body passed through.

"I am the Wheel-Turning King!"

As King Yama's voice fell, a divine light emanated from his body and landed above the palace. This was an avatar, but its aura was far superior to that of a loose immortal!
This is not over yet...

Another massive, sky-covering figure attempted to pass through the passage.

On the ruins of King Qin Guang's palace, the palace quickly rose majestically, followed by a magnificent sound.

"I am King Qin Guang!"

One by one, the bodies returned to their places, and one palace after another gradually rose up.

"I am King Chujiang!"

........................

Until an even more chilling breath came.

"I am the Ghost Emperor of the South!"

"I am the Ghost Emperor of the East!"

…After the Ten Kings of Hell, the Five Ghost Emperors descended. Even though they were only avatars, their aura swept across the entire Underworld. Not to mention a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator like Mo Chen Saint Lord, even a rogue immortal like Ancestor Jing Hong felt a deep sense of powerlessness welling up in his heart.

However, they did not feel worried or afraid; instead, they showed boundless joy.

"Success, success!"

As the patriarch of Maoshan, Master Jinghong was naturally not worried. It was no joke. King Zhuanlun was the fourth patriarch of Maoshan. Apart from the three patriarchs of Maoshan, King Zhuanlun was the most respected in the entire Maoshan sect. They were all family, so what was there to be afraid of? Besides, the opening of the passage between the two worlds was thanks to Maoshan. The other Yama kings and ghost emperors in the underworld were too grateful to Maoshan!
"Young friend Mo Chen, now that you've returned to your positions in the Underworld, are you about to leave? Won't you feel reluctant to part with it?"

Looking at Saint Monarch Mo Chen, Ancestor Jing Hong made a joke, but it was clear that Mo Chen also knew that their Ascension Immortal Abode could not continue to stay in the Underworld.

He smiled faintly and shook his head.

"Senior is joking. This underworld is a place of the netherworld, so it is normal for us to leave. Besides, the passage between the two realms has been opened. If possible, who wouldn't want to enter the realm of the earthly immortals?"

"Hahahaha! That's true!"

At this moment, the divinity in Zhong Bai's eyes gradually faded. After waking up, he was somewhat bewildered by the changes around him.

After refining the Taishan Fujun Seal, Zhong Bai was enveloped by a powerful divine force. As for what he did afterward, he truly had no idea...

"Brother, Master Jinghong?"

Looking at the two people in front of him, Zhong Bai was somewhat surprised, especially by Master Jing Hong, who was a wandering immortal from Maoshan. How did he end up in the underworld?
"Kid, well done!"

The underworld and the netherworld have returned to their proper places, and the passage between the two realms has opened!

Zhong Bai was taken aback. Was that all?
Just then, an irresistible divine power enveloped them in an instant.

When they came to their senses, both Zhongbai and Master Jinghong arrived at a white jade palace.

Zhongbai was not flustered. The reason was simple: he knew this palace very well—the Great Hall of the Wheel-Turning King!

Upon realizing that the Fourth Patriarch had arrived, Zhongbai finally revealed a relaxed smile.

He bowed respectfully to the center of the main hall and said, "Disciple Zhong Bai greets the Fourth Ancestor. May the Fourth Ancestor enjoy boundless blessings and peace!"

Master Jinghong behind him also realized what was happening.

"Disciple Jinghong pays respects to the Fourth Patriarch. May the Fourth Patriarch enjoy boundless blessings and peace!"

Although Master Jinghong held a higher seniority in front of Zhongbai, he could only refer to himself as a disciple when facing the Fourth Patriarch of the Wheel-Turning King.

Mo Chen Saint Lord also understood.

Following the example of Zhong Bai and Patriarch Jing Hong, he bowed and kowtowed, saying, "Mo Chen greets King Zhuanlun!"

As expected, after the three bowed, a hearty laugh gradually echoed throughout the palace.

Immediately afterwards, the Fourth Patriarch appeared.

His majestic face and awe-inspiring presence made even the Holy Monarch Mo Chen dare not raise his head.

The Fourth Patriarch just looked at Zhong Bai like that.

"No need for formalities!"
"Zhongbai, I said it would take a few years, but I never expected you to move so quickly. The passage between the two worlds has been opened, and this world will return to the jurisdiction of the Underworld. Your contribution is significant!"

Looking at Zhongbai, the Fourth Ancestor found him particularly pleasing to the eye, proving that his judgment had not been wrong.

"Zhongbai dares not claim credit; it's all for Maoshan." "Alright, alright, don't try to shirk your responsibility. Merit will be rewarded, and mistakes will be punished. But giving you things now is useless; you'll be rewarded when you reach the Earthly Immortal Realm!"

After speaking, the Fourth Patriarch looked at Patriarch Jinghong and Saint Lord Mochen and nodded in satisfaction.

"You should leave the Underworld first. We still need to welcome the Great Emperor and Lady Meng Po. The Underworld will need some time to stabilize. At that time, the passage between the two realms will open in the Underworld. If you want to go to the Immortal Realm, you only need to come to the Underworld."

Alternatively, I could go to Maoshan and open a passage to the human world, but the specifics would need to be discussed with the other Yama Kings.

This is not an exaggeration. The Ten Kings of Hell have just returned to the Underworld and still need some time to clean it up. At the same time, they need to manage the Six Paths of Reincarnation and establish the 18 levels of Hell. These things take time and are also urgent. Therefore, the Fourth Patriarch does not have time to take care of Zhongbai and the others for the time being.

"Fourth Patriarch, rest assured, we understand!"

After Master Jinghong nodded, the three of them returned to the Feathered Immortal Abode.

Upon his return, Patriarch Jinghong glanced at Saint Lord Mochen.

“Young friend, the Underworld is about to be established. Your Immortal Abode cannot remain in the Underworld any longer. Take your core personnel with you and leave. As for those spirits, it is best to leave them in the Underworld.”

Mo Chen Saint Lord had anticipated this, and after nodding with a smile, he went to make the arrangements.

Before long, dozens of figures gradually arrived at the Immortal Palace. They were all core members of the Feathered Immortal Mansion, including more than a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators and more than twenty half-step Demon Emperors and Ghost Emperors.

"And that's all."

When the Holy Monarch Mo Chen appeared, he brought out only a few people from the Underworld; these were the ones who followed him. As for the rest of the lower realms, let them remain in the Underworld…

Zhong Bai nodded. Now that the Ten Kings of Hell have returned to their positions, it won't be easy to open the passage between the underworld and the mortal realm as before. Even Ancestor Jing Hong wouldn't dare to forcefully open it.

However, it doesn't matter if he is Zhongbai or not; don't forget that he is still the Lord of Mount Tai.

Opening the passage between the two worlds is a piece of cake.

However, you can't just take too many people with you.

Zhong Bai has no intention of dealing with the Netherworld and the Demon Realm; he'll leave them to the Underworld to deal with slowly.

The seal of the Lord of Mount Tai was presented.

With effortless ease, the passage between the two worlds was opened.

The group moved quickly, and they all left the underworld in about half a minute.

When it reappears, it will already be in the mortal realm.

“Young friend Mo Chen, please find a place to settle down first. This old Taoist will take Zhong Bai back to Maoshan.”

Master Jinghong smiled, and Saint Lord Mochen also knew that his immediate priority was to settle his subordinates.

He bowed and said goodbye.

"Senior, walk slowly!"

"Take care, brother!"

Zhong Bai waved his hand as well, and with a flick of Jing Hong's index finger, a spatial passage opened, and Zhong Bai and Jing Hong entered it.

Only after Zhongbai left did Mochen Saint Lord's excited heart gradually calm down.

.........................................................

Maoshan.

Jiuxiao Wanshou Palace.

As the spatial passage opened, Zhongbai and Jinghong Patriarch immediately appeared.

Three days have passed since Zhongbai refined the Taishan Fujun Seal in the Underworld. In the Jiuxiao Wanshou Palace, almost all the Maoshan patriarchs have not left, including Master Tianning.

Upon seeing the two return, they all stepped forward to inquire.

"Zhong Bai, did you successfully refine it?"

Master Tianning stepped forward and inquired, but before Zhong Bai could reply, Master Jinghong's hearty laughter echoed throughout the palace.

"Hahahaha, stop asking Zhong Bai. Right now in the underworld, the Ten Kings of Hell have returned to their positions, the Five Ghost Emperors have returned, and in a few days the Great Emperor and Lady Meng Po will also arrive. Do you think it's a success?"

Upon hearing this, the entire palace fell silent for a moment. Everyone looked at Zhong Bai with disbelief, their hearts pounding...

"Great!"

It took a long time before another wandering immortal patriarch from Maoshan, Patriarch Changhong, finally managed to utter this sentence.

The return of the Ten Kings of Hell signifies the arrival of the Four Ancestors of Maoshan, and the passage to the Immortal Realm will soon be opened. The hearts of these old fellows, who had lost their way to ascension, are gradually regaining their passion!

"We can notify Longhushan now..."

Those old guys are probably even more excited than we are!

Thinking of this, Master Changhong immediately left his seat.

Everyone shook their heads, seemingly unconcerned.

"Ahem, esteemed masters, if there's nothing else, Zhongbai will take his leave now."

With a chuckle, Zhong Bai also wanted to share this good news with Zhao Ling'er and Mo Ling.

Master Jinghong nodded.

"go Go……"

Zhong Bai then left.

......................................................

Zombie world.

Also in the underworld.

The news spread quickly, and the Tenth Patriarch learned from the Fourth Patriarch that the passage had been opened.

Without hesitation, they immediately headed to Maoshan.

Since the world where Zhongbai is located can lead to the Immortal Realm, the patriarchs of Maoshan who remain in this world no longer need to live in seclusion. Similarly, those promising juniors can also go to a wider world.

However, opening the passage is quite complicated. If it's just a single person, anyone under the age of 100 can come and go freely, but for those patriarchs who are over 1,000 years old, some special methods are required...

Of course, none of this matters!

Maoshan.

Twenty years have passed since Zhong Bai and Zhang Zhiwei left.

It wasn't a long time, but it wasn't short either; the once war-torn Kyushu has now returned to peace.

Similarly, the evil forces that had been causing turmoil in the world had long since settled down and kept to themselves. There was no way around it; the restless ones had been almost all killed by Zhongbai.

Inside the Hall of Law Enforcement, True Man Qian Yuan looked at the empty hall around him and felt a touch of nostalgia.

"Ugh!

I wonder how that kid Zhongbai is doing these days. The unknown world isn't so easy to navigate..."

Shaking his head, Master Qian Yuan gradually calmed down until a series of bell tolls rang out!
"Oh? The sect leader is holding a meeting?" (End of Chapter)
