"As you wish."

Zhong Kui shook his head.

Anyway, he couldn't convince Cui Jue.

Always.

Cui Juedu is the most stubborn of the four judges.

Trying to convince Cui Jue is harder than climbing to the sky.

On the surface.

Zhong Kui has a rough appearance and is the judge with the worst temper and the most difficult to get along with among the four judges.

Actually.

Zhong Kui's temper is considered to be relatively good among the four judges.

The key is.

Zhong Kui is a reasonable person.

wrong!

A reasonable ghost.

Before punishing a soul that has committed heinous crimes, he would think twice before taking action, rather than just doing it based on what others say.

at this point.

It doesn't quite match Zhong Kui's rough appearance.

"What are you going to do next?"

Zhong Kui asked.

Hearing this.

Cui Jue looked at the other two coffins and asked, "How long do you think it will take for us to remove the Dao Seals from Wei Zheng and Lu Zhidao?"

Zhong Kui pondered it carefully.

"That depends on how well our Yin Qi recovers. If it recovers to its peak state, it will only take a few days to remove the Dao Seals on them."

"But if it's just the current situation, then I'm afraid it will take a long time."

After all.

The current status is still not good.

Although Zhong Kui looks very domineering when he comes out of the coffin, in fact, his current strength is less than one-tenth of his peak period.

How powerful was Zhong Kui back then?

Let's put it this way.

The twelve immortals of the orthodox teaching have arrived, and everyone should be very careful and nervous.

Back then, Guangchengzi wanted to plant a Taoist seal on Zhong Kui's body, but it took him a lot of effort and even required the use of some magic weapons to do it.

Although Cui Jue's strength is not as good as Zhong Kui, since he can become the judge of the underworld, he is naturally not weak.

The strength of both of them is now much weaker than before.

The Taoist seals are still too terrifying.

The Dao Seal not only caused the four great judges to fall into a deep sleep, but also gradually dissipated the negative energy in their bodies over the long years.

Cui Jue frowned.

It may not be easy to recover to the previous strength.

The Dao Seal dissipates the Yin Qi in their bodies bit by bit. Correspondingly, if they want to restore the Yin Qi in their bodies, they also need to restore it bit by bit.

If nothing unexpected happens, it will take at least tens of thousands of years to restore to its heyday.

"That would be troublesome."

Cui Jue sighed.

"You just woke up and may not know what's going on outside. I can tell you that the sky of the Ancient World has collapsed again."

"We don't have much time left."

Zhong Kui looked up and gazed outside the underworld.

His perception is still there.

The seal for so many years only eroded his Yin energy and strength, but did not erode his perception.

after all.

As a judge, to determine good and evil and to impose punishment, what is most needed is extremely sharp perception.

After a few breaths.

Zhong Kui withdrew his gaze, his expression becoming extremely solemn: "The situation is much worse than I imagined. I didn't expect all kinds of disasters to start wreaking havoc again."

The situation in the ancient world should be even worse.

but.

Zhong Kui sneered, "The last time the sky collapsed in the Ancient Realm, Lady Nuwa sacrificed herself to death. So who else will be there this time?"

Cui Jue's eyes flickered: "Zhong Kui, you must have heard the legend about Lady Nuwa."

Zhong Kui seemed to remember something.

Cui Jue continued, "Before Lady Nuwa fell, she foresaw the distant future, when the ancient world's sky would collapse again. Therefore, before her death, she left behind a backup plan to prevent all living things from falling into dire straits again."

Zhong Kui did not believe this rumor very much: "The authenticity of this legend cannot be verified, maybe it is just fake."

Cui Jue shook his head: "Don't you understand yet?"

Zhong Kui frowned.

Cui Jue explained, "Whether this legend is true or not is not important at all, because legends are always believed by some and not by others, making it difficult to unify them. The key question is, will the Taoists believe this legend?"

Zhong Kui knew it very well.

Taoism will believe.

In fact, Taoism does not know whether the legend is true or not, but from their point of view, they would rather believe it is true than false.

The sky of the ancient world has fallen, and Taoism must do something.

Because Taoism was the only powerful force in the ancient world, almost all creatures in the ancient world lived under Taoism.

If something happens in the ancient world and Taoism does nothing, then the great image of Taoism in the hearts of all living beings in the ancient world will collapse.

But think about it carefully.

What can Taoism do?

Even Nuwa, who was at the level of the ancestor, died after repairing the sky. There is not even a single ancestor-level existence in the three Taoist religions, only three half-step ancestor-level Tianzuns.

To put it bluntly.

Even if you put the three great Taoist gods together, they still cannot find someone who can repair the sky.

so.

Taoism must believe this so-called legend.

Because this legend not only gave them a glimmer of hope, but also gave hope to all living beings in the ancient world.

Zhong Kui asked, "From a Taoist perspective, what do you think is the backup plan that Lady Nuwa left behind?"

Cui Jue said without hesitation: "The spirit of the Sky-Repairing Stone."

"After Lady Nuwa repaired the sky, the remaining stones were scattered around the world. From among them, three of the largest fragments gave birth to stone spirits."

"The first piece is a monkey, a demon."
