The Primordial Path of Kong Xuanming

Kong Xuan tore through space and entered the Netherworld. The Netherworld is the resting place for all living beings after death. All living beings, as long as their true spirits remain after death, can enter the Netherworld, and perhaps one day they will have the opportunity to be reincarnated. The Netherworld is a mirror universe of the primordial universe of Pangu, but this mirror universe has no primordial stars, only a yin moon hundreds of billions of miles in size hanging in the depths of endless void. There are vast lands with no boundaries, endless oceans of darkness, countless mountains of bones, the fires of the Yellow Springs, and hundreds of billions of endless souls.

Kong Xuan's powerful divine sense swept across the area, making the location of reincarnation in the Netherworld immediately clear. At this time, there was no distinction between the six realms of reincarnation in the Netherworld. Souls that entered the reincarnation would have their memories and cultivation erased and would be randomly reincarnated as unknown creatures.

Kong Xuan began to exorcise the countless resentful souls, his cultivation having only reached a few tens of thousands of years, yet he had already swept away all the resentment in the entire Netherworld. Kong Xuan then began to explain the methods of ghost cultivation, which were divided into: Ghost Soldier, Ghost Messenger, Ghost Spirit, Ghost General, Ghost Commander, Ghost Immortal, Ghost King, Taiyi Ghost King, Daluo Ghost King, Ghost Mother, Taiyi Ghost Mother, Daluo Ghost Mother, Ghost Emperor, Taiyi Ghost Emperor, Daluo Ghost Emperor, and Ghost God, Taiyi Ghost God, Daluo Ghost God. Each rank was further divided into twelve levels.

Kong Xuan's voice resounded throughout the entire Netherworld, and countless souls or soul imprints began to cultivate unconsciously. Gradually, their soul bodies became more solid, and their intelligence gradually returned. Although they could not remember their past, they had become new life forms, ghost cultivators.

Kong Xuan selected dozens of individuals with exceptional talent and virtue, passing on cultivation techniques above the Immortal level to them. He then forged 100,000 divine artifacts to construct 100,000 ghost cities, each capable of holding trillions. Kong Xuan crafted eighteen acquired spiritual treasures, transforming them into eighteen levels of hell to imprison the most heinous evil souls. He also established five Ghost Emperors, ten Kings of Hell, 100,000 judges, tens of millions of soul-reaping impermanences, and hundreds of millions of ox-headed and horse-faced guides. Thus, 100,000 years later, order in the entire Netherworld was restored, all cities in the Netherworld had their own administrative functions, and the phenomenon of ghosts devouring each other would never occur again.

Kong Xuan used his great supernatural powers to transform the environment of the Netherworld. He moved a large number of forests from the primordial universe and planted them in the Netherworld after the transformation. These plants, after the transformation, can absorb the evil, malice, and turbidity generated in the Netherworld and transform them into the yin energy needed for the survival and cultivation of ghosts.

Hundreds of millions of years later, the Five Ghost Emperors, the Ten Kings of Hell, the Hundred Thousand Judges, the Tens of Millions of Soul-Catching Impermanence, and the Hundreds of Millions of Guides Ox-Headed and Horse-Face respectively attained the ranks of Ghost King, Ghost Immortal, Ghost General, Ghost Commander, and Ghost Spirit. The Netherworld finally gained its initial strength.

Kong Xuan arrived at the place of reincarnation, and a person slowly emerged from his body. It was the clone transformed from the Lotus of Heaven and Earth Reincarnation.

"I, a humble Taoist, have seen the true form," said Kong Xuan, bowing as the Six Paths, formed from the Lotus of Heaven and Earth Reincarnation.

Kong Xuan smiled and said: "We are all one body, so there is no need for formalities. However, it is up to you to take responsibility for this matter."

Liu Dao, his face solemn, said: "I am duty-bound to perform such a great act of merit."

The Six Paths bowed to the heavens and said: "I observe that all living beings in the primordial world have no place to rest their souls after death. Therefore, I have built ten thousand colossal cities in the Netherworld, established five Ghost Emperors, ten Kings of Hell, ten thousand judges, ten million soul-reaping impermanences, and billions of ox-headed and horse-faced demons to maintain order in the Netherworld. However, under the Great Dao, good deeds are rewarded and evil deeds are punished! I, the Six Paths, am willing to use myself to create the Six Paths of Reincarnation. After death, all beings who do not attain immortality will enter the cycle of reincarnation. I establish the Six Paths as: the Heavenly Path, the Asura Path, the Human Path, the Animal Path, the Hungry Ghost Path, and the Hell Path. Those who have performed great deeds in their previous lives can attain the Heavenly Path and live freely. Those who commit murder and cruelty will enter the Asura Path. Those who have no merit or achievement will enter the Human Path. Those whose transgressions outweigh their merits will enter the Animal Path. Those whose transgressions are extremely great will enter the Hungry Ghost Path and the Hell Path. The Six Paths of Reincarnation, manifest!"

The voice of the Six Paths spread throughout the entire Netherworld, and then throughout the entire Primordial Universe, the Realm of Gods and Demons, and countless worlds large and small, billions of living beings and countless great supernatural beings heard the voice. Instantly, countless living beings unknowingly worshipped towards the Netherworld!
