Chapter 468: The underworld expands, leads to the Yellow Spring, and creates the sea of suffering!
In the secret realm of Nine Hells.
Ten gloomy cities stood tall, surrounded by black air, and from time to time, shrill howls could be heard from the cities.
Lu Fan sat upright on the Thousand Blade Chair, wearing a white shirt.
Ning Zhao pushed the wheelchair gently, his face as calm as water, while Yi Yue hid in the darkness, like an emotionless killer.
Ni Yu was carrying the blame, holding a bamboo umbrella, and looking around with some fear. The gloomy environment made the hair on her neck stand up uncontrollably.
So scary, is there a ghost here?!
Little Yinglong lay on Ni Yu's head with its tail curled up like a ball of meat, and its eyes secretly looked at the outside world through the gap.
Nie Shuang walked with big strides. He was extremely shocked. He had never expected that the Nine Hells Secret Realm... actually had so much secrets inside.
He thought that the Nine Hells Secret Realm had been explored, but he never imagined that there seemed to be a vast world behind the Nine Hells Secret Realm.
"Sir...where is this?"
Nie Shuang blinked and asked with great curiosity.
"The underworld."
Lu Fan sat upright, looking around at everything in the Nine Hells.
Lu Fan was very satisfied with everything in the underworld. Tan Tai Xuan's ability was unquestionable. He managed the ten cities of samsara in an orderly manner and even established good relationships with the remaining nine city lords.
Today, the nine city lords of the Nine Hells Secret Realm have a very good relationship with Tan Tai Xuan and are impressed by his methods and strategies.
The entire underworld seemed to have turned into a huge machine, operating in an orderly manner.
Lu Fan's eyes flickered slightly.
Tan Tai Xuan assigned each of the ten cities a task, and judged the undead entering the city according to their respective duties. After sentencing, they would assign these undead to a certain place, either reincarnation or cruel punishment.
Beigong Saint Lord followed Lu Fan respectfully and told him everything in the Nine Hells Secret Realm.
"City Lord Tantai is a benevolent monarch. He divides the incoming undead souls into three levels of punishment."
Beigong Saint Lord said.
"Oh? Which three?"
Lu Fan raised his eyebrows. He didn't manage the Nine Hells Secret Realm much.
If he had not opened the Gate of Heaven this time to include the Lower Three Heavens and was preparing to include the Underworld Reincarnation in the Lower Three Heavens as well, he really would not have been interested in taking care of the affairs of the Nine Hells Reincarnation.
The eyes of Saint Lord Beigong lit up slightly, with a hint of excitement. He was obviously in respect for Tan Tai Xuan.
"City Lord Tantai has three options for dealing with the undead that enter the city."
"They are all judged based on their deeds during their lifetime."
"The first type is those who have made great achievements in their lifetime and blessed the people. After they die and enter reincarnation, they will be given the opportunity to choose to stay in the city as ghost soldiers, ghost generals, ghost messengers, or chief clerks, managing many dead souls, or they can choose to erase their memories, reincarnate as humans, and be born into the families of kings, princes, generals, and ministers."
"The second type is those who had no great achievements in their lives, were mediocre, and had never committed any crime. For those who have committed many crimes, their memories will be wiped clean and they will be reborn as ordinary people."
"The third type is those who committed great evil in their lives and whose hands were stained with blood. They will be punished according to the severity of their sins. The most serious ones will be thrown into the city of Lord Tantai and endure endless torture."
Beigong Saint Lord said.
Hearing this, Lu Fan couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
"Those who commit serious crimes are imprisoned in Tan Tai Xuan's city?"
Lu Fan asked.
"Is this a decision made by Tan Tai Xuan himself? Those who are tortured will certainly have endless resentment. If we imprison those who have committed serious crimes, they will be washed away by resentment and become a city full of resentment. It will affect our cultivation and pollute our souls... Tan Tai Xuan is not afraid?"
Beigong Saint Lord's eyes flickered, and he cupped his hands, "City Lord Tan Tai said... the other nine city lords have extremely high cultivation bases, and it would be a waste if they did such a thing. Tan Tai Xuan has lived an ordinary life, isolated from the fate of immortals, and has long been accustomed to the days without powerful cultivation bases, so... City Lord Tan Tai took the initiative to open up his city into a place to punish evildoers."
Lu Fan smiled and said, "If I don't go to hell, who will?"
Lu Fan didn't say anything else.
Saint Beigong took Lu Fan to continue strolling in the Nine Hells Secret Realm.
Lu Fan was not in a hurry either, as Tan Tai Xuan was still dealing with household affairs. In fact, Lu Fan was a little curious about what kind of punishment Tan Tai Xuan would make for his son.
…
The tenth city.
The sound of miserable howls continued to echo from the city. Someone was being whipped mercilessly, as if a knife was cutting his flesh.
Tan Tai He's body and mind were trembling as he stood under the majestic and cold city wall, feeling the horrible resentment released from the city, his body as if falling into an icy cave.
Although only his soul was left, he could feel the resentment that endlessly penetrated into his soul, as if it was going to make him lose consciousness and turn him into a resentful spirit.
When Tan Tai Xuan appeared on top of this gloomy and cold city tower.
Tan Tai He was stunned.
Tan Tai He was truly surprised. He had immense respect for his father, the Emperor. Moreover, Tan Tai Xuan set an example for him, which was the source of his motivation to govern the Great Xuan Divine Dynasty in an orderly manner.
And now, he actually met Tan Tai Xuan after his death.
thump.
Tan Tai He knelt down.
Tan Tai Xuan stood on the city wall with a stern expression and mixed emotions as he looked at the figure below.
One after another, ghost messengers appeared, like soul-catchers in the darkness, dropping cold chains.
"As the emperor of the human world, even if you enter the underworld of reincarnation after death, you should still enjoy the highest treatment, serve in the reincarnation, and gain extremely strong cultivation..."
Tan Tai Xuan's voice echoed slowly.
Tan Tai He, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled.
“What a pity…”
Tan Tai Xuan sighed and stood there with his robe fluttering.
"You want to pursue immortality, but you have wasted people's money and resources, and spent manpower and material resources to find the way to immortality. Do you know how many people have died because of you?"
"And you even provoked trouble between the demon race and the human race, causing the war between the demon race and the human race to last forever. The number of cultivators and ordinary people who died or were injured in this war will be countless!"
"These dead people, their resentment, their hatred...you have to bear all of it!"
Tan Tai Xuan Dao.
At the end, the voice even turned into a roar.
With a bit of anger and a bit of disappointment.
"Why are you so greedy? Your father has always taught you that people should learn to be content and not be greedy. You should do things in a down-to-earth manner and not force what you can't get. Why don't you listen?"
"When you became the Human Emperor, your father told you that the Human Emperor cannot achieve immortality... Since you want to achieve immortality, why did you accept the Human Emperor position?!"
Every word that Tan Tai Xuan spoke was like a sharp blade, constantly stabbing Tan Tai He's chest.
The heavy pressure made Tan Tai He feel as if his soul was about to collapse.
Even when he was alive, his father, Emperor Tan Tai Xuan, had never scolded him like this.
However, after his death, he was actually questioned and scolded by Tan Tai Xuan like this.
However, Tan Tai He had nothing to say.
"I……"
Tan Tai He's lips were trembling. He was kneeling on the ground, looking extremely old.
Tears rolled down from his eyes.
Tan Tai Xuan's words seemed to whip his soul.
"Father...I...I was wrong!"
Tan Tai He was trembling and crying.
In the quiet city, only Tan Tai He's shrill voice lingered and echoed.
Tan Tai Xuan stood on the city wall, and the ghost messengers lowered their heads. The chains were shaking, and some of the chains even had blood stains that had not yet dried.
Buzz buzz buzz...
A series of roars rang out.
Figures sitting on tall chairs emerged one by one. Some of them looked ferocious, some had an aura as if they could destroy the world, some were gentle and elegant, and some were ferocious.
These are the lords of the other nine cities.
Because they were able to sense Tan Tai Xuan's rage, they all came down.
"Brother Tantai, he is your biological son after all."
"Although there are consequences for the crime, it is not a crime worthy of going to hell."
A city lord spoke.
Youdu is the name of Tan Tai Xuan's city. Within Youdu, everything is subject to criminal law. Those who commit serious crimes will suffer painful torture in Youdu.
"Yes, the conflict between the demon race and the human race has only been lacking a fuse. Even if there is no such thing as the Immortal Rebellion, it will still erupt in the future."
Another city lord spoke up.
Tan Tai Xuan smiled and shook his head.
He was still quite friendly towards these city lords.
"How about this, my city is still short of a chief clerk, let him take up the post."
One by one, the city lords spoke up, and it was actually Tan Tai He who interceded.
After all, Tan Tai He is Tan Tai Xuan's biological son. If he can be recruited under his command, it would be equivalent to gaining a deeper relationship with Tan Tai Xuan.
Tan Tai He raised his head and looked at this scene, his heart trembling with shock.
It turns out that after death... there is another world.
When my father was alive, he was the emperor of the world and ruled over all the people in the world. After his death, he was also in charge of many dead souls.
"The Human Emperor cannot live forever and will eventually be reincarnated in the underworld, so I had prepared a position for him. Unfortunately, this boy did not live up to his expectations... and made a big mistake."
"Although I have made contributions as the Emperor of Man, my faults are even greater..."
Tan Tai Xuan Dao.
The entire Nine Hells Secret Realm suddenly seemed to become extremely quiet.
"You can't ignore the laws of the underworld just because you are my own son."
"The merits and demerits can be offset, but his faults are worse. Although he will not be sent to the underworld, even if he is reincarnated, he will not be allowed to marry into the family of a prince or general. He can only be reincarnated into the poorest family of the lower class!"
Tan Tai Xuan Dao.
His eyes flickered and his dark robe fluttered.
It seemed as if he was holding a gavel in his hand, and he suddenly slammed it down, causing the void to tremble.
These words seemed to determine everything for Tan Tai He.
Several city lords opened their mouths but remained speechless.
For Tan Tai He, this punishment was a bit too much.
The war between the demon race and the human race had been brewing for a long time, and Tan Tai He simply became a fuse.
Even without Tan Tai He, there would be someone else who would have provoked this war.
Therefore, Tan Tai He was very wronged.
As for the loss of money and labor, the deaths and injuries of civilians and monks caused by his pursuit of immortality...
This is nothing to the noble Human Emperor.
"Do you have any complaints?"
Tan Tai Xuan stared at Tan Tai He who was kneeling below with a sharp gaze and asked.
Tan Tai He's whole body trembled.
However, he soon smiled as if relieved.
"No complaints, yesterday's cause is today's result..."
Tan Tai He was quite free and easy.
Upon hearing this, Tan Tai Xuan's tense face finally relaxed and revealed a smile.
However, there was a lot more bitterness in this smile.
"Father... However, I have a favor to ask of you."
Tan Tai congratulated him.
"If your Majesty sees Uncle Xue someday...please tell Uncle Xue that I was wrong and ask Uncle Xue to forgive me."
Tan Tai He said slowly, his eyes showing extremely complicated emotions and a bit of regret.
"knew."
Tan Tai Xuan nodded.
The next moment, he waved his sleeves.
Turned around and faced away from Tan Tai He.
In the dark city, shrill howls resounded, filled with unwillingness, resentment, and endless roars.
Tan Tai He stood up slowly, folded his hands in front of him, and bowed slowly.
"Then father... take care."
"I hope that in the next life, I can be by my father's side."
Buzz...
As soon as the words fell.
Above Youdu, the city lord who was in charge of reincarnation suddenly waved his sleeves.
Boom! A city gate opened wide, and behind the wide-open city gate, there was a powerful suction force that exploded. Tan Tai He's soul was sucked in and disappeared.
The city gates closed, and the entire Nine Hells Secret Realm became cold and desolate again.
"well……"
Being in an imperial family, one should restrain oneself with stricter rules.
"I, Tan Tai Xuan... am not a good father."
…
"Master Lu, sorry for the long wait."
With a smile on his face, Tan Tai Xuan came to Lu Fan's side.
Lu Fan glanced at Tan Tai Xuan. Lu Fan did not interfere in the trial of Tan Tai He, as it was also Tan Tai Xuan's family affair.
"You don't have to be so harsh. He is your son after all."
Lu Fan said.
"Young Master Lu, you are joking. The law is unforgiving. Besides...if he were not my biological son, I might be more tolerant. But since he is my biological son, Tan Tai Xuan, the Great Xuan Emperor, he should bear more."
Tan Tai Xuan waved his hand, his eyes looking somewhat uncertain.
Lu Fan didn't say anything else.
Afterwards, Tan Tai Xuan took Lu Fan and others to walk in the Nine Hells Secret Realm to understand the principles of the Nine Hells' reincarnation operation.
Nine city lords also came out together to accompany them.
Tan Tai Xuan looked at Lu Fan's back, his eyes flickering slightly.
Tan Tai Xuan remembered that it was with the help of Lu Fan that he came here, which meant that this Nine Hells Secret Realm was closely related to Young Master Lu.
During this period, I had many conversations with Saint Lord Beigong, and Saint Lord Beigong told me some secrets of Xuwutian.
Tan Tai Xuan guessed in his heart that perhaps, this Nine Hells Reincarnation was the work of an ancient powerful being.
In fact, Tan Tai Xuan had a feeling that this reincarnation underworld was closely related to the operation of the Five Phoenixes.
This is because the soul power of those reincarnated souls is extremely powerful.
Coming from the Five Phoenixes, entering the cycle of reincarnation, and returning to the Five Phoenixes from the cycle of reincarnation.
If something goes wrong, it might cause some big problems for Wuhuang.
"As for the affairs of the Nine Hells Reincarnation, this young master will not interfere, but... during this trip, I found that you did a good job."
Lu Fan said.
He tapped his fingers on the wheelchair guards and narrowed his eyes, "But... this is far from enough. You must be prepared. Next, there may be a large number of souls and undead will pour in, and your task will be even more difficult."
Hmm? Tan Tai Xuan was startled, and the nine city lords behind him were also slightly stunned.
The next moment, Tan Tai Xuan's expression changed drastically.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Could it be that... a great disaster is about to break out in the Five Phoenixes, and many people will die?"
Lu Fan waved his hand.
"No...don't worry about Wu Huang. Wu Huang is fine."
These words made Tan Tai Xuan let out a sigh of relief.
Although he was already dead, Tan Tai Xuan was once the Human Emperor after all, and he didn't want to see the Five Phoenixes suffer.
"Well, you should understand... now someone among the Five Phoenixes has ascended to heaven, right?"
"The gates of heaven open, and the place of ascension appears."
"The Nine Hells Reincarnation is about to undergo a major change."
Lu Fan said.
His words seemed to have a hidden meaning.
Tan Tai Xuan and the nine city lords looked slightly stern.
"I caught a glimpse of the Ascension Land. Perhaps it is because the upper realm cut off the Ascension Road... leaving the top cultivators of the Lower Three Heavens with nowhere to ascend. As a result, the Five Phoenix Heavenly Gate emerged, allowing the cultivators of the Lower Three Heavens to escape into the Ascension Land."
“Therefore, it is very likely that the same thing will happen in the underworld.”
“Perhaps a large number of souls from the lower three realms will pour in.”
Lu Fan said.
The words fell.
Saint Lord Beigong's aura rose and fell, and he almost couldn't control himself.
What? Wuhuang's Heavenly Gate became the place of ascension to the lower three heavens?
Is it very likely that the underworld will also become the place of reincarnation for the lower three heavens?
This, this, this...
Saint Lord Beigong only felt a chill spreading from the soles of his feet.
He felt as if there was a huge net that seemed to capture the entire lower three heavens.
Lu Fan glanced at Saint Beigong meaningfully.
The next moment, under the leadership of Tan Tai Xuan, they strolled around the Nine Hells Secret Realm again.
She left the Nine Hells Secret Realm with her maids and Nie Shuang, who looked dazed and doubtful about his life.
"Farewell, Young Master Lu."
Tan Tai Xuan and the nine city lords bowed and saw them off at the exit of the Nine Hells Secret Realm.
But the person in white disappeared between the doors as the maid slowly pushed him away.
After leaving the Nine Hells Secret Realm, he sent Nie Shuang back to Beiluo City.
Lu Fan prepared to return to Baiyujing.
Before leaving, Lu Fan gently stroked Nie Shuang's big head.
The little guy who once stubbornly knelt before him, begging him to save Nie Shuang, has now grown into a strong man.
"Practice hard, break through the Heavenly Gate as soon as possible, and use the immortal energy behind the Heavenly Gate to practice, so that you can become stronger."
Lu Fan said.
"Sir...are you not going to enter the Heavenly Gate?"
Nie Shuang asked curiously.
Hearing this, Lu Fan smiled and said, "I'm afraid that Tianmen... can't accommodate this young master."
The words fell.
Silver-grey light fell.
The mysteries of space surge.
Lu Fan and the others disappeared.
Only Nie Shuang was left standing alone in front of Beiluo City.
…
Lu Fan brought Ning Zhao, Ni Yu and others back to the island in the middle of the lake.
"Practice well, young master, I will go into seclusion."
After returning to the island, Lu Fan gave instructions to Ning Zhao and Ni Yu, and asked Yi Yue, who was hiding in the darkness, to show up and practice well on the island.
“Yes.”
The three maids bowed obediently.
Return to the Baiyujing Pavilion.
Lu Fan's eyes flickered, and his mind escaped into the preaching platform.
The words of the Bagua formation are turning over.
The scene of the Nine Hells Secret Realm appeared before his eyes.
"To accommodate the entire Lower Three Heavens' undead, the current Nine Hells Underworld may not be able to support it... So, it has to be expanded."
Lu Fan's mind was surging, and he raised his hands and tore to the sides.
Crash...
The Nine Hells Secret Realm simulated in the preaching platform was constantly torn apart and expanded, the land expanded, and many deep lands were opened up.
Lu Fan looked at the vast and desolate land and touched his chin.
Raise your hand and draw slowly.
A torrent of water came down from the sky.
Boom! The ground cracked open, and countless streams of water spread through the Nine Hells Secret Realm. In the yellow-brown water, there seemed to be countless souls wailing.
"The souls of the dead in the lower three heavens rush into the underworld from this river."
"The road to the underworld ends in the sea of suffering. Countless souls eventually cross into the sea of suffering."
Lu Fan pondered.
Countless spiritual energy surged and all poured into it.
Afterwards, a vast ocean appeared, with no end in sight.
This is the sea of suffering.
"The dead souls come to the underworld, cross the sea of suffering, and wash away their good and evil. The good ones float on the surface and are escorted out of the sea of suffering by boats, while the evil ones sink to the bottom."
Lu Fan is improving bit by bit.
Since we have decided to include the souls of the lower three heavens, this will be a huge project.
"As for the dead souls of the monks, they will be imprisoned in Youdu."
That's basically it.
Lu Fan looked at the perfected Nine Hells Secret Realm, which seemed like a huge machine running.
If the souls of the dead in the lower three heavens were reincarnated in the underworld, they would gradually be able to supplement the population of the Five Phoenixes.
It can keep up with the problem of the area of the Five Phoenixes constantly expanding as the Dao Yun is engraved.
“Hmm…”
As if he remembered something.
Lu Fan couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
There is a forbidden area for the emperor in the Ascension Land, so shouldn't there be an equivalent one in the Underworld? He smiled.
Lu Fan's spiritual energy surged out again.
In the depths of the underworld, a vast abyss was opened up. Lu Fan pointed at his brow, as if he was picking up a flower with one finger, and a wisp of his soul pointed out.
Half of the abyss wall collapsed and turned into half of a Buddha statue. The giant hand of the Buddha statue was holding up a figure with its back facing away from all living beings.
"I can't think of any great emperor's back, so I'll just have to make do with what I have."
Lu Fan muttered.
Afterwards.
The mind has left the pulpit.
Before I knew it, more than half a month had passed after I had deduced all this.
Lu Fan let out a breath. The next step was to build the underworld, which was another huge project.
Fortunately, with the opening of the Ascension Land, many immortal realms refined immortal energy, causing Lu Fan's spiritual energy to surge, otherwise, Lu Fan might have to work hard again.
A spiritual pressure chessboard emerged, and lines flickered in Lu Fan's eyes.
Roll up your sleeves and pick up the ball.
A chess piece falls slowly.
Bang! …
The secret realm of the Nine Hells.
Boom! Suddenly.
The ten city lords, including Tan Tai Xuan, all felt the same.
A huge chair appeared, and they sat high on the chair, overlooking the entire underworld like giants.
They looked up at the gloomy sky of the underworld.
Click!
The sky was suddenly torn apart, like a chess piece falling and creating a huge hole.
There was a mighty stream of water rolling down from the hole.
The entire underworld was shaking, and countless dead souls were wailing in fear. It was a kind of oppression on the soul level, and it was an aura of fear that made them shudder.
"What Young Master Lu said...has really happened!"
Tan Tai Xuan's eyes were extremely solemn.
He was shocked, extremely shocked.
“Perhaps only the ancient emperors could do this kind of creation-like method? The underworld… the ascension land… the Five Phoenixes, they are indeed extraordinary!”
Saint Lord Beigong was trembling both physically and mentally.
He once wondered whether this underworld was created by Lu Fan, but now seeing this scene, he felt that it was impossible.
Although Saint Lu is very powerful, even the Great Venerable is far inferior to him.
However, based on the combat power Lu Fan had shown before, he seemed to be still in the Immortal Realm.
Can the Immortal Realm...create the world?
Impossible!
"Is this the method left by the ancient emperor?"
"The secret of the Five Phoenixes... seems to be wrapped in an increasingly thick fog!"
"It's as if there's a great hand from the ancient emperor behind us making the Five Phoenixes stronger and stronger!"
A look of fanaticism gradually emerged in the eyes of Saint Beigong.
He was once unwilling to be arranged to this place by Lu Fan.
But now he understood that this might be... a rare opportunity for him!
Rumble! The rushing river water fell from the sky and turned into a wide river. Both sides of the river were filled with dead air.
And when the river widens to the end, it turns into a huge ocean.
The ocean sparkles...
As the scroll turned, the bone-eroding pain surged up.
Faintly, it seemed as if it wanted to absorb people's souls into it.
The ancient stone slabs, full of mottled traces of time, were crookedly inserted into the underworld.
The river is called Huangquan, and the vast sea is called Kuhai! Everyone was shocked.
They looked again...
But what he saw was a huge bamboo raft. The raft was so huge that it seemed to be able to carry hundreds of thousands or even millions of souls.
Looking into the distance, it is the end of the newly opened underworld...
The earth cracked and death surged.
Tan Tai Xuan was shocked all over.
The nine city lords trembled with fear.
Saint Lord Beigong was so depressed that he could not help but kneel down, and countless ghosts withdrew their gazes.
But see...
The ground cracked open, revealing an endless abyss.
In the endless abyss, half of the abyss wall was inlaid with a huge half-ten thousand-foot-tall Buddha statue.
The Buddha statue holds a figure in its hands.
That figure was filled with endless horror, and it felt like one’s soul would be torn apart if one looked at it for any longer!
That back figure… is it the most powerful being from ancient times?! The ancient emperor, or the ancient sage?! Everyone withdrew their gazes, not daring to look directly at him.
Suddenly...
Everyone looked up.
“Here it comes!”
Tan Tai Xuan's eyes flickered, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.
Rumble.
As the shrill sound tore at the sky, in the endless flow of the underworld, one dead soul after another seemed to be rushed in from the sky.
