Zhunti glanced at Dijun, said nothing, and continued to command his two staffs to strike the two of them. A green light and a beam of seven-colored divine light struck the tops of their heads...
A flash of holy white light appeared, and a twenty-four-petaled Pure White Lotus emerged from beneath the two, blocking Zhunti's magic weapon. Zhunti withdrew his staff and stood aside, no longer making a move, because he understood that with Zhenyuan Tianzun's intervention and the White Lotus protecting him, it wouldn't be easy to break through the White Lotus's defense in a short time.
Suddenly, Tianming, who was cultivating, awoke. Looking at the empty Asura Path, he roared, "I am Tianming, born from the blood of Pangu's navel. I now establish a great sect called 'Asura,' also known as 'Ming.' We use the innate treasure, the Twenty-Four Petal Blood Lotus, to suppress our destiny. All souls, spirits, and beings can join my sect and seek immortality. The Ming Sect is established!"
A twenty-four-petaled blood lotus appeared beneath Tianming's feet, beneath which a sea of blood surged and churned, from which over a hundred million Asuras were born. Each of them carried a blood-red sword on their backs, and behind them, a blood-red pillar of light, tens of feet thick, shot into the sky, illuminating the entire Buzhou Mountain.
The Asura race appears, and Tianming becomes a saint.
The Asura race appears, and the Asura path is revealed.
Among the six slowly swirling openings in the sky, one of which emitted a blood-red light, appeared a series of ethereal Asura beings. Thus, the Six Paths were complete, and reincarnation manifested.
The moment the Six Paths of Reincarnation were perfected, the Heavenly Empress's body began to dissolve from bottom to top. Suddenly, the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Reincarnation flew beneath her feet, the Spring and Autumn Reincarnation Brush flashed in her left hand, and the Chaos Shuttle danced in the wind like a colorful ribbon. The Heavenly Empress's body dissolved very slowly, but it was still disappearing...
Suddenly, a young Taoist appeared, looked at Houtu with loving eyes, and said, "Foolish child, you would rather become a being in the underworld to save the lives of all living beings in the primordial world, so I will grant you that chance."
After saying this, he shouted: "The cycle of six realms has ended, the Ancestral Witch and the Heavenly Empress are no more, only the Holy Heavenly Empress remains in the world, the Heavenly Empress of Supreme Goodness, the Heavenly Empress has become a saint."
With the roar of the Holy One, boundless merit and profound yellow energy descended from the sky. This merit was second only to the merit of Pangu creating the world, and was the greatest merit since the creation of the world.
When the Heavenly Empress ascended to sainthood, colorful clouds stretched for miles, countless golden lotuses bloomed, and millions of living beings in the primordial world expressed their gratitude to her.
As the Heavenly Empress attained sainthood, the Chaos Shuttle, the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Reincarnation, and the Spring and Autumn Reincarnation Brush flew together and slowly drifted into the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Soon after, two treasures emerged from the Six Paths—a sword and a mirror—and flew into the Heavenly Empress's slender hand, disappearing instantly.
The Chaos Heavenly Sword and Chaos Heavenly Shuttle were forged from the power of the six paths of reincarnation and the power of reincarnation. When fighting, the sword energy can be used to attack the enemy, but the person injured by the power of reincarnation will be directly reincarnated. If a Quasi-Saint touches it, his cultivation will be reduced to that of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Even a Saint will have ten thousand years of cultivation lost if he touches it. It is a supreme innate treasure.
The Mirror of Reincarnation has no offensive power, but it can transform the power of reincarnation to protect the body. It cannot be broken by anyone other than a saint or an innate supreme treasure. It is an innate supreme treasure.
Over the past ten thousand years, two more saints have been born in the primordial world: the Heavenly Empress, the Most Benevolent Lady, and the Heavenly Blood Lord.
After the Heavenly Empress attained sainthood, she said to Emperor Jun, "Fellow Daoist Emperor Jun, you have ten sons. The Underworld needs ten Kings of Hell. If you are willing, I will appoint your ten sons as the ten Kings of Hell to govern the Underworld."
Di Jun said, "My Ninth Son has already been scattered and his soul has been destroyed. Only the Tenth Son remains. How can he possibly take charge of your Tenth Palace?"
The Empress said, "I am powerless to reverse the situation, but my master can." She then knelt down and said, "Master, I beg you to have mercy on Di Jun and return his nine sons. Your disciple thanks you."
Di Jun also hurriedly knelt down and said, "I beg the Daoist Master to save my nine sons!"
Saint One laughed and said, "I can chop down saints, but I can't save people."
Empress Tian and Emperor Jun were extremely disappointed upon hearing this.
After a long pause, Sheng Yi spoke again: "I am not able to, but your uncle, who controls the laws of time, can save him."
The Great Sage Equaling Heaven appeared and said to Emperor Jun, "The karma of your ten sons is immense. How do you intend to settle this matter?"
Di Jun said, "I am willing to exchange the innate spiritual treasures Hetu and Luoshu for the rebirth of my nine sons." After saying this, he took out the two treasures and erased the imprint of their primordial spirits.
The Great Sage Equaling Heaven took the two treasures and said, "Although I control the laws of time, the fall of the nine suns is ordained by Heaven, and I cannot change it. However, I can use the Chaos Soil to forge its body, so that after its rebirth it will no longer be a demon and will have no memories of the past. What do you think?"
Di Jun thought for a moment and said firmly, "It is acceptable not to be a demon, and it is acceptable not to know one's parents. I beg the sage to save me."
The Great Sage Equaling Heaven smiled, took out a bit of Chaos Soil, and a drop of Di Jun's essence blood. He then infused it with the true spirit of the Golden Crow from heaven and earth. In a moment, nine blood spheres rolled in the sky, absorbing the innate spiritual energy of the primordial world and growing continuously. After forty-nine days, the blood spheres ruptured, and nine little people were born. The nine people appeared and saw the Great Sage Equaling Heaven bowing down, saying, "Children of sin, we pay our respects to the Supreme One. We thank the Supreme One for giving us life and allowing us a chance to repent."
After saying that, he looked at Di Jun and said, "Father, your son is unfilial. Instead of serving your parents, I have embarked on a path of no return. I hope you will not blame us. We nine brothers are now the Nine Kings of Hell, in charge of the Nine Courts of the Underworld, to create and transform all living beings."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Jun was so moved and happy that his nine sons addressed him as their father that he shed tears of joy.
Jinwu Xiaoshi also said, "Thank you, Venerable One, for saving my nine brothers. I will also become a Yama King and work with my brothers to manage the Underworld, allowing countless beings to be reincarnated."
The ten brothers reunite, but the demon dies and the ghost lives.
Chapter 46: The Battle for the Treasures of the Thirty-Two Virtuous Goddesses (Part Two)
The Heavenly Empress said, "I hereby appoint you ten brothers as the Ten Kings of Hell. The first king, King Qin Guang Jiang, whose birthday is the first day of the second month, is in charge of life and death in the human world, and oversees good and bad fortune in the underworld, guiding virtuous people to transcend death and ascend to heaven."
The Second Hall, according to the Chujiang King's calendar, is on the first day of the third month. It is in charge of the Living Hell, also known as the Stripping Pavilion Ice Hell. It also has sixteen smaller hells. Anyone who injures others, commits adultery, theft, or murder in the mortal world is pushed into this hell and then sent to the sixteen smaller hells to suffer. After their term is over, they are transferred to the Second Hall for further punishment and sent to other hells.
