Fandu! How did he know his hidden name?
As expected, it was exactly the same as the information previously obtained. All the ghosts, immortal officials, and avatars of the Holy Ancestor sent out by the Myriad Longevity Palace, the wishes they transmitted back, all mentioned an important piece of news: this Heavenly Demon possessed the ability to see through others' spells and true names!
Names contained powerful and ancient forces. The older the demons and ghosts, the more they feared having their true names spoken.
Once their hidden names (true names) were called out.
At best, their magical powers would be temporarily lost, and they would be killed by mortals with dung forks.
At worst, they would vanish into thin air, be found by the Heavenly Thunder Department of the Northern Pole Exorcism Bureau, and then struck by a heavenly thunderbolt directly splitting their celestial crowns!
The form and spirit of King Tian Luo were only scattered in the outer realm. His true body was in the inner realm. With the help of the black energy, he could perform operations similar to "seizing the body" or "transferring the spirit," and possess a second form and spirit.
But now, his expression was no longer as spirited as when he was talking with that Heavenly Demon.
Uncontrollable rage, like a monstrous fury from immense humiliation, surged from the eyes, nose, and mouth of his purple face! Rolling yellow smoke accompanied by fiery, blood-red hair, truly making him as detestable and terrifying as an unnamed fierce ghost born in an unknowable era!
"I didn't expect that even after transforming into a Chaos Immortal, I would still find it difficult to deal with this Heavenly Demon! The eighty thousand Heavenly Demons from the Great Fuli Dharma Realm are so arrogant, completely disregarding us. Every word is filled with the arrogance of an envoy from the upper realm."
"How dare you insult me, how dare you insult me!"
Unless I flay and dismember him, and use his skull as a bowl, I cannot quell the hatred in my heart!
Three hundred years ago, after being humiliated and dying on the land of the Jin Dynasty, his immense imperial resentment was saved by the Song Divine Heavenly King, whom he had met once, and brought to this underworld. At that time, there was no change in the underworld yet... Until now, the underworld has devoured various dharma realms of the Yin world. From the founding to the demise of the Song Dynasty, almost all of its subjects are in this underworld!
Hum—
The true body of King Tian Luo was currently in a magnificent divine temple within the Great Yin World, and this temple was the true "Jingling Palace."
In the center of the palace, behind the incense altar, stood five tall and majestic ancient divine statues. Since the opening of this Yin world, one person brought Emperor Zhenzong of Song here to establish a region. Over the long years, the wishes of countless Song emperors, either voluntarily or involuntarily, entered this Yin land.
Later, in these three hundred years, more statues were erected, until there were five.
It can be seen that the divine statue of the Song Divine Heavenly King is one of them, ranking second from the left. However, the appearance of this Heavenly King is vastly different from the statue in the outer realm.
And the person who brought them here was Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty.
Starting from the left.
The first on the left, the God of Ghost Shrines and Evil Spirits, dressed in blue and cyan attire, had his name as Emperor Dongyue removed and was renamed the Heavenly Venerable of Majestic Authority and Freedom.
The second on the left, wearing dark imperial robes and holding a jade pillar axe. The axe sound was like the shadow of candlelight, the Song Divine Heavenly King, Taizong Zhao Guangyi.
The first on the right, a long-robed figure without a face, his body enveloped in nine-colored divine light, one of the twelve Great Cultivators of Jade Purity, Yuan Huang.
The second on the right is the divine statue of the Jade Emperor, but it is now tattered and its divine light is gone. The Jade Emperor's connection to this place has been severed, so this divine statue is naturally useless.
In the central main position, the Heavenly Venerable of the Nine Heavens, the Protector of Life, the Song Holy Ancestor, Zhao Xuanlang.
Then, at the feet of the five divine statues, there were several smaller divine statues.
Three standing side by side were Emperor Yingzong of Song, Emperor Shenzong of Song, and Emperor Zhezong of Song, collectively known as the Three Immortals of Wuyi. However, their divine statues were dim and lusterless, bound by iron chains as if to prevent them from resisting, and pressed beneath the feet of the divine statue of Yuan Huang.
Some Song emperors did not advocate returning, and some did not even want to come here. But how could they disobey the orders of Emperors Taizong and Zhenzong? Those who did not obey were suppressed here, and their imperial power was continuously absorbed. After three hundred years, they had long since turned into rotten wood and废塑, with less than one percent of their imperial power remaining.
Among the small divine statues, the one in the very center had a sorrowful face, wore the crown of the Thunder Department, was dressed in the attire of an imperial immortal sage, and emitted mournful cries but could not speak. That resentment had been lingering within it for three hundred years without leaving.
This was Emperor Huizong of Song, who had not yet returned to his position as the Heavenly Venerable of Divine Firmament, Jade Purity, and Longevity.
King Tian Luo heard the sobbing sound and immediately responded respectfully:
"No, no... I was speaking in anger. That Heavenly Demon insulted my imperial majesty, causing my anger to surge and become uncontrollable."
"Father Emperor... please give me more time..."
"I will not dismember that Heavenly Demon, nor will I flay him. I will bring that Heavenly Demon's body to you. This matter is a cycle of cause and effect, and the sin will fall upon him. He will definitely not escape."
Master Zhang pasted the divine position of the Jade Emperor onto the firmament of the human world, so that in the past, the divine position of the "Heavenly Venerable of Divine Firmament, Jade Purity, and Longevity" created by the Divine Firmament Sect for Emperor Huizong of Song could not be smoothly returned.
He was the first imperial resentment to be brought here. He opened up some of the initial phenomena of the Great Yin World. As the Jade Emperor grew stronger, he also grew stronger, but due to this change, he was immediately beaten back into the divine statue. The resentment could not leave, and he was delayed in obtaining an immortal body to move freely.
At this moment!
Among the five divine statues, the divine statue of the Heavenly Venerable of Majestic Authority and Freedom on the left emitted a grand and vast voice:
[This Heavenly Demon has an enmity with Emperor Huaguang... You can go and seek out the leaders of the Fu, Guang, and Zhi Dharma sects. They revere Emperor Huaguang, also known as the Great Heavenly Venerable of Taiyi Thunder Sound Unmoving. Explain the situation and ask them to join our side.]
[If necessary, also distribute the black energy to them. In this way, these Dharma sect rats will likely become pseudo-immortals. Although pseudo-immortals only have the power of immortals but not the form of immortals, using immortal power with a mortal form will cause their forms and spirits to decay rapidly. They are like glazed cannons, shattering after only a few shots. No matter how powerful that Heavenly Demon is, he is only a remnant immortal! Not to be feared!]
[You are afraid of having your hidden true name called out and being ambushed by him. Then let those subordinates who do not have true names obtain the power of immortals to kill that Heavenly Demon.]
[Of course, before that, you must trick that Heavenly Demon. Doesn't he like doing business without capital? Then give him whatever he wants, even lending him your hidden name is not impossible!]
...
A giant mountain peak, if viewed from the sky of this Great Yin World, it can be seen that it is a "Mount Tai" at least a hundred times larger than the Mount Tai in the outer realm, and exactly the same!
However, the Mount Tai in the human world is majestic and vast, with rolling seas of clouds, yellow rocks, and green mist.
And this giant Mount Tai in the Yin world is black and green in color, deep and distant, with distinct layers. It can be clearly seen from a distance, like a giant pagoda built up.
And this is half of the Eastern Yue Dharma Realm transformed!
And various blood-red giant light beads, like stars, float and rise from the foot of this giant Mount Tai in the Yin world.
This Mount Tai, namely the eighteen hells under the jurisdiction of Emperor Dongyue!
Rumble! A huge sound arose, and in the distance, it can be seen that this Mount Tai is divided into nine layers, and now, it continues to rise, becoming ten layers.
The lower nine layers of Mount Tai hell have become the lower ten layers. From the blood hole at the foot of Mount Tai, an ancient Heavenly Venerable emerged.
Guangyao Shousheng Xian Tianzun—Song Gaozong.
"Heavenly Sun Ghost, Lengjia Ghost, Futu Ghost, Chakra Ghost, Green Robe Ghost, Yinming Ghost, Fuguo Ghost, Zishuai Ghost..."
"Along with the guardian of the Oil Pot Hell, King Litou, all have been subjugated."
The tenth hell, the Oil Pot Hell, has been officially obtained by the Underworld. All the ghosts within have been incorporated into the Great Yin World of the Underworld, and the ghost generals guarding it naturally suffered complete annihilation. They couldn't even send a notification to the hell above, and the entire dharma realm had already been eroded and stripped away.
Among the thirty-two Heavenly Emperors, the dharma realm power of three Heavenly Emperors, combined with the divine position power of the three Halls of Yama, and one-third of the accumulated wish power of the Jade Emperor over three hundred years, a mere Oil Pot Hell, where the highest level of the guardian ghost generals was only equivalent to the Yellow Court realm in the human world.
It was truly uninteresting. If it weren't for the unique rule fragments in each hell that could suppress all cultivators below the Earth Immortal realm who entered, he, as a Chaos Immortal, would not have condescended to act personally.
"There are only eight layers of hell left in Mount Tai in the human world. At this point, the Bi Xia Yuan Jun who governs Mount Tai is still unaware of this."
As he emerged from a giant blood hole, accompanied by dozens of ghost generals.
The ghost soldiers and generals of the tenth hell, the Oil Pot Hell, under Emperor Dongyue, were received by the Great Yin World and incorporated into the Underworld system. Emperor Dongyue had fifty-nine hundred officially appointed ghost generals and seventy-six departmental deities, distributed among the eighteen hells of the Eastern Yue Dharma Realm, to save the souls of the living and guide them to reincarnation.
In the beliefs of the various hells in the human world, it is considered the foremost. Mount Tai has always been an important place, and below it is the Eastern Yue Dharma Realm, so a great god must be stationed there.
The current generation of divine generals is Bi Xia Yuan Jun, designated by Emperor Jiajing.
Compared to the previous generations of guarding divine generals, her strength is weaker. The so-called strongest in the world is merely at the Pure Yang realm.
Without becoming an immortal, it is useless.
"Imperial Brother."
Guangyao Shousheng Xian Tianzun saw the person who greeted him outside the blood hole. It was another of the Three Kings of the Yin World.
Laihe Tianzun—Emperor Zhenzong of Song.
He looked at the elevated Mount Tai in the Yin World, filled with nostalgia for the moments of Feng Chan in the past.
He was the last emperor to perform Feng Chan in the world... Although the Battle of Chanyuan resulted in a treaty under the city walls for a ruler of ten thousand chariots, he still had the merit of rebuilding the dynasty, so how could he not go.
"Mount Tai is also nearing completion. I wonder how long it will take you to conquer the next layer of hell?"
Laihe Tianzun asked Guangyao Shousheng Tianzun, who replied:
"Eighteen hells, nine upper and nine lower. This tenth layer is the ninth layer of the human world. From this point on, the offense and defense have shifted. Our power can influence the movement of souls in the living world. With the Oil Pot Hell conquered, we don't know about the ones above."
"All the Yin world dharma realms we possess now have merged into this Great Yin World of the Underworld, and those dharma realms have transformed into buildings and landscapes within our Underworld. Their residual power will gradually connect with Mount Tai. Within a year, the eighth layer, Ice Mountain Hell, and the seventh layer, Blade Mountain Hell, will be within our grasp."
"At that time, a large number of souls and ghost power will flow ceaselessly from the human world."
"When the power of the Yin World surpasses the living world, we, along with the outer realm, will join forces to swallow the inner realm. Then the Yin World will grow and become the only true realm, capable of bearing the Heavenly Dao. As for the outer realm... heh heh."
"It will turn to dust and scatter into the void, and all things will cease to exist, leaving only vast Yang energy for us to obtain."
"Transforming into ghosts, impervious to blades and arrows; achieving Yin spirits, immortal and indestructible. Myriad Longevity ascensions, myriad immortals soaring. We were born from imperial resentment, saved by our immortal wishes, and by His Majesty the former Emperor, the Heavenly King, and Yuan Huang. From the moment we descended, we were no longer ordinary beings, human or ghost."
"The shame of the past has been washed away one by one; the future of thousands of years has been achieved, and the divine kingdom has been established."
Guangyao Shousheng Xian Tianzun spoke of his grand aspirations, as if he could already see the success of these three hundred years of planning, reviving the dynasty, and becoming the world's sole prosperous scene!
"However, a portion of the Eastern Yue's power is not in its homeland."
"In the past, during the Tang Dynasty, Master Baidao, without authorization, divided one-third of the Eastern Yue's power, transformed it into the Lord of Mount Tai, and sent it to the Eastern Isles, turning it into a Yin world dharma realm. The various Daoist techniques practiced by the Yin-Yang masters of the Eastern Isles, the power to command ghosts and spirits, originally came from the Lord of Mount Tai."
"The people of the Eastern Isles attacking the Central Land this time also seem to have the intention of seizing the power of Mount Tai. This should be Xu Fu's idea. He must know the secret of the uppermost layer of Mount Tai."
Laihe Tianzun was full of doubt: "The Hell of Tongue Extraction? The first layer of Mount Tai Hell... This is the weakest hell. Could there be some secret from the Qin and Han dynasties?"
Guangyao Shousheng Xian Tianzun: "In any case, it is definitely worth our taking. What Xu Fu fancies will not be bad. The hells are already within our grasp, and the authority of the Lord of Mount Tai will be reclaimed from the Eastern Isles sooner or later."
"It's just uncertain in what object that authority is placed. However, I suspect that the most likely object is that..."
Laihe Tianzun: "That...?"
"That book left by Master Baidao in the Land of Japan... 'Jin Wu Yu Tu Ji' (Golden Crow Jade Rabbit Collection). A very important part of Emperor Dongyue's authority, if my guess is correct, is within it... Now, this book should also be in Xu Fu's hands."
Guangyao Shousheng Xian Tianzun: "Perhaps even if King Tian Luo fails as a mediator this time, we will have to unite with the Ming court against a common enemy... However, we must wait for the war to end before we act. Striking when they are weak is the way to minimize ghost casualties."
"It is said that the ghosts and spirits created by wishes in the Eastern Isles of Japan also have the power of immortality and are very difficult to deal with."
"Also, '[Nine Nether Sins Erasing Heavenly Venerable]'... The whereabouts of the Divine Tablet of the Lord of the Netherworld are still unknown. If we cannot obtain this Divine Tablet, we will not be able to sleep or eat in peace... Where exactly is the Divine Tablet of the Lord of the Netherworld?"
Laihe Tianzun suddenly said: "Could it be in the... Crow Cry Country below the Yin World!"
