You, a living person, are telling me I've served in the underworld for ten years?

Chapter 160 Transcending the Three Realms, Free from Reincarnation!
Having learned from the "lesson" of the broken sword, they immediately activated "Life Light" the moment that "heretical" force invaded.

hum!
A dazzling golden divine light emanated from his body!

Under the suppression and refinement of this divine light, the "heterodox contamination" only lasted for less than three minutes in Chen Yang's body before being refined!
boom!
Chen Yang's cultivation level increased dramatically, and the Yin energy around his body erupted, transforming into a black Yin wind!

His flesh, bones, skin, and internal organs were tempered once again, and his bones resonated with power!

His spiritual power quickly condensed and transformed from ethereal to tangible.

Suddenly, a muffled "boom" sounded in his mind. Chen Yang felt as if his brow had "bursted" open. Then, a mighty gust of yin wind broke through his brow and flew out of his Niwan Palace!
The eerie wind swirled above Chen Yang's head, transforming into a dark cloud.

The next moment, the dark clouds suddenly dispersed, and when they regrouped, they had transformed into thirty-three crystals the size of rice grains!

This is the manifestation of the ghost immortal's thoughts and the materialization of his soul!

"Is this what a ghost immortal is?"

"No wonder that once you cultivate to become a Ghost Immortal, you can transcend the Three Realms and escape reincarnation... When your cultivation reaches this level, even if only a single thought remains, even if your physical body withers away, you can still live in the world. What difference is there between this and immortality?"

A thought flashed through Chen Yang's mind, and those thoughts once again transformed into a dark cloud that drifted deep into the sea!
Under the influence of these thoughts, the airflow at the bottom of the river kept changing, and even the seawater that was isolated by the "flow interruption" method had a faint undercurrent!
aside.

Jiang He watched this scene and said, "Congratulations, Master Chen, on achieving the Ghost Immortal realm. From now on, you can transcend the Three Realms and be free from the cycle of reincarnation!"

As soon as an old thought arises, one thought after another returns to the body.

He stood up and looked at Jiang He, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes, then laughed and said, "I have only just broken through, my cultivation is nothing compared to Minister Jiang's."

Before breaking through to the Ghost Immortal Realm, Chen Yang only knew that Jiang He was very strong and was known as the number one martial arts master in the Great Xia Dynasty.

But just how strong...

He doesn't know!
After breaking through to the next level, Chen Yang's cultivation and eyesight improved greatly, and he was even able to see through rivers and lakes!

In Chen Yang's eyes, Jiang He's blood and qi surged like a tsunami, and burned like a blazing sun. His martial will was as heavy as a mountain, but it also gave Chen Yang a feeling that once it was unleashed, it would be earth-shattering!

The peak of Martial Saint?

Or perhaps...above the Martial Saint?
The number one martial arts master of the Great Xia Dynasty truly lives up to his reputation!
The two searched the seabed for a long time, but unfortunately... they found no remnants of the alien path, nor did they find the "secret realm".

"Perhaps the South China Sea Dragon Palace was originally a secret realm, located in a small world carved out from the seabed... Because it was invaded by heretics back then, the Dragon Palace collapsed, and the secret realm was eventually shattered into the pile of ruins we see today."

Jiang He sighed, "I thought this place was a secret realm ruin where I could dig out some treasures... but now it seems I've come all this way for nothing."

Chen Yang smiled and said, "Although we didn't find any treasures on this trip, we did learn about the existence of the South China Sea Dragon Palace... In the myths and legends of the Great Xia Dynasty, there is a saying about the Dragon Palaces of the Four Seas. Since there is a Dragon Palace in the South China Sea, do three other Dragon Palaces exist?"

"Moreover, the weapons left here that have survived to this day without decaying are all top-quality, which can also be considered a gain."

of course.

The biggest gain was that Chen Yang found a way to refine the "heterodox path", and as a result, his strength increased dramatically, breaking through to the Ghost Immortal realm!

At the same time, many doubts arose in my mind.

The South China Sea Dragon Palace is now in ruins, so what about the other three Dragon Palaces?

Furthermore, Chen Yang felt that even if the South China Sea Dragon Palace had been invaded by "heretical forces," it shouldn't have been that all the "dragons" in the Dragon Palace had perished... So where did the remaining "dragons" go?

As the two left the "Ruins of the Dragon Palace in the South China Sea"...

boom!
The seawater, which had been blocked by Chen Yang's "flow interruption," surged back and submerged the former "Dragon Palace" once again.

soon.

The two flew out of the sea.

Jiang He asked, "Master Chen, where are we going now?"

Chen Yang said, "Go find the Heavenly Consort."

Tianfei is Mazu.

"Where to find it?"

"Naturally, it's the temple of the Heavenly Princess... Let's go to Meizhou Island!"

Many people may not have heard of Meizhou Island. It belongs to PT City, Fujian Province. It is the birthplace of Mazu culture and a pilgrimage site for Mazu believers all over the world. It was first built in the Northern Song Dynasty (987 AD) and is the world's first Mazu temple. It is also the world's largest Mazu palace complex today.

Every year, this place attracts more than 200 million Mazu devotees from all over the world to make pilgrimages, making it probably the most popular Mazu temple in the world.

Chen Yang and Jiang He cut through the sea and quickly returned to land, arriving at Meizhou Island.

Today is not a holiday, but the area around the Mazu Temple on Meizhou Island is still very lively, with a constant stream of pilgrims and worshippers coming to pay their respects!
Do not!
There are even more worshippers and believers today than usual!

Without him...

At today's "press conference," officials have acknowledged the "theory of ghosts and gods"!
Chen Yang glanced at her from afar and couldn't help but exclaim, "Such thriving incense offerings... This Heavenly Consort must be the most popular deity among mortals these days!"

Chen Yang is a Yin Marshal. His eyes can see through illusions and see ghosts and gods. He can even see "incense" that even rivers cannot see.

He could clearly see how prosperous the incense was at the Mazu Temple ahead! The wisps of incense energy kept rising, forming a huge, thick cloud of incense in the sky above Meizhou Island. In terms of scale, the cloud of incense was hundreds of times larger than all the incense at the "Five Mountains" in Gucheng that Chen Yang had visited!
Jiang He thought about it for a moment and finally nodded.

There are many believers in Daxia who worship gods, and the gods they worship are all kinds of people. Some famous Taoist temples and Buddhist temples attract a lot of tourists from all over the country, but it is hard to say how many people truly and sincerely offer incense and sacrifice.

The two arrived on the island and followed a group of pilgrims and believers into the Mazu Temple.

soon.

An elderly man dressed as a temple keeper, who looked to be around sixty years old, hurried over and bowed to the river with his hands clasped in greeting.

Jiang He asked in surprise, "You know me?"

The temple keeper laughed and said, "Before I came to the Mazu Temple to be a temple keeper, I had traveled the world and naturally knew Minister Jiang He, the number one martial arts master in our Great Xia."

This temple keeper is a Taoist cultivator, but his cultivation level is similar to that of He Wanzhong and Ma Lin from the Xixia branch. He is about the fourth or fifth level of Qi Refining and has just condensed his Yin Spirit, which allows him to leave his body and travel at night.

He then looked at Chen Yang, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

This young man...

He looks so young, how come he can walk alongside rivers?

Jiang He clearly had no intention of introducing Chen Yang to the temple keeper. He asked, "How long have you been working as a temple keeper here?"

The temple keeper replied respectfully, "Minister Jiang, I took over the position of temple keeper three years ago."

Jiang He then asked, "In these three years, have you witnessed any extraordinary events?"

The temple keeper's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked warily, "I wonder what Minister Jiang is referring to...?"

Seeing this, Chen Yang smiled and said, "You don't need to worry. Minister Jiang and I came to visit the Heavenly Princess, and we have no other intentions... Please introduce us, sir."

The "temple keeper" of a temple can be considered the "steward" of the temple and the spokesperson for the "deities" worshipped in the temple.

Just as the temple keeper was about to refuse, a voice rang in his mind—

"Bring them here."

The temple keeper then changed his address, saying, "Please, gentlemen!"

He led Jiang He and Chen Yang to the main hall, and then stopped the worshippers who were about to pay their respects, saying, "Please wait a moment, everyone. Two important guests have arrived at the temple."

"What important guest is so ill-mannered?"

The worshippers immediately objected, shouting, "Everyone is equal before Mazu! Does their superiority mean we have to clear the area?"

The temple keeper explained, "It's not that I'm being unfair, but Mazu wants to see them to discuss important matters!"

"I see."

The most vocal and rebellious believer immediately fell silent, saying, "Since Mazu and they have important matters to discuss, we naturally cannot disturb them... Wait!"

Halfway through his sentence, the believer realized what he was saying and exclaimed in surprise, "Mazu... has appeared to us today?"

And this moment.

Chen Yang and Jiang He have entered the main hall.

The two of them lit incense and bowed several times to the statue of the deity.

The next moment, a wisp of incense smoke rose up and transformed into a goddess dressed in a red robe in the hall. This goddess had a sacred and extraordinary temperament, giving people a feeling of being untouched by worldly affairs.

She bowed to the river and said, "Little Shen Linmo greets Minister Jiang."

Jiang He was taken aback and quickly stepped aside, waving his hand and saying, "Your Highness is too kind. I am but a mortal, how can I possibly deserve such a grand gesture from Your Highness?"

The Heavenly Princess smiled and said, "Minister Jiang holds a high position and wields great power, comparable to an emperor on earth. How could he not accept such an honor?"

"........."

Chen Yang frowned.

Cat Master also treated Jiang He with great respect.

Now, witnessing the Empress Tianfei treat Jiang He in this way, he began to have doubts... Could Jiang He be some kind of powerful reincarnation?

Empress Tianfei turned to look at Chen Yang again.

Clearly, she did not know Chen Yang.

Chen Yang clasped his hands in greeting and said, "Chen Yang, the Underworld Marshal Luo Feng, greets the Heavenly Princess."

The Heavenly Princess was startled and quickly returned the greeting: "So it's Commander Chen Yang... Commander Chen Yang comes from the Underworld? Has the Underworld found a way to descend to the mortal realm?"
