Chapter 3 The Sword Enters the Underworld!



The young Taoist recognized the two Black and White Impermanence and knew that they were the most well-known gods in the underworld. The chains in their hands seemed to be extraordinary and quite extraordinary. Once the Taoist's soul was bound, it would be difficult for it to move, just like a mortal in shackles, with his hands and feet trapped and unable to move.

It is obvious that this is a method specifically aimed at practitioners.

Bai Wuchang said with a smile: "Little Taoist priest, there is no need to try. This is the true form of the Soul-Catching Rope, which corresponds to the Immortal Binding Rope."

"What practitioners cultivate is just a little bit of true Qi. Right now, your innate Qi is in your physical body, but it has not yet [turned into one]."

"It has not fallen into your soul, so your soul does not have any great magical powers. Besides, even if you merge into one, the chain will lock you tightly and you cannot break free. Your soul cannot move recklessly. If you move, it will be like entering a thorn bush and it will be extremely painful."

The young Taoist did not act rashly.

The Black and White Impermanence continued to move forward and he did not resist.

But with his five fingers slightly clenched together, he vaguely felt that his soul had not been completely restrained.

Pure spirit still has the strength to struggle.

The suppression of the magic weapon Soul-Catching Rope on himself seemed to be much weaker than what the Black and White Impermanence had said. Qi Wuhuo lowered his eyes and saw that his soul was still wearing the Taoist robe, with the Beidi Mirror hanging around his waist and the Exorcism Order inside. These three objects seemed to be carried directly with his soul.

Hei Wuchang said in a solemn and indifferent tone: "There are still many souls to be brought today, so don't delay any longer."

Bai Wuchang agreed with a smile.

Holding the soul-calling charm and dropping the golden bell, with just a slight shake, they were at another place in the blink of an eye. For example, the Water Official could follow the water, and the Earth God had the ability to escape underground. The gods of the netherworld could travel thousands of miles away in a single thought, which was something that the Heaven Official and the Earth God could not achieve.

The young Taoist felt that everything around him became hazy, as if he had stepped into another world different from the human world.

As if entering a reflection, he had arrived in another place in an instant, and it turned out that the life span of a god on earth had come to an end.

The earth god was unwilling to die like this, and hid in the mountain, saying only: "I have been in charge of this mountain for six hundred years, and I am free and easy. My soul is still clear, and the power of the earth veins is flowing in my heart. The opportunity for a breakthrough is right in front of me. Why do you say that my life span has ended? My life span has ended?"

"The underworld is unpredictable, how tyrannical you are!"

Bai Wuchang said with a smile: "Mountain God, you should have died more than 600 years ago. You have borrowed the power of the Earth God to survive for 600 years."

"You should be satisfied."

"you!"

Hei Wuchang looked silent and raised his hand and waved.

The chains went straight into the mountain.

Then he pulled with his right hand, and the soul of the mountain god was pulled out directly, tied with chains, and thrown directly behind Qi Wuhuo. He was an old man with a pale face and a look of unwillingness, but once the chains were tied, he could no longer struggle. He was pulled by the Black and White Impermanence and stumbled forward with them.

Then they captured several cultivators, a big monster, some high-ranking members of the sect, and some dragon descendants among the water officials.

After just an hour or so, a group of souls followed Black and White Impermanence.

They were all cultivators, and they all cursed angrily, unwillingly.

Hei Wuchang said indifferently: "Silence."

The big demon shouted angrily: “Be quiet, your mother…Ahhhhhh!”

Before he finished speaking, he was bombarded by a tyrannical thunderbolt, and his soul was almost shattered. After that, everyone fell silent, looking at Hei Wuchang, who was a Yin God, and actually used such masculine and tyrannical power, and murmured: "When the Yin quality is completely gone, it is a Yang God, the realm of earthly immortals..."

Hei Wuchang said indifferently: "It happens every time."

Bai Wuchang said with a smile: "If it weren't for this, there would be no need for you and me to come, an ordinary soul-collecting messenger could do it."

After that, they were safe all the way until the end, when Black and White Impermanence flew up on the clouds and went to the Heaven, and directly hooked the souls of two celestial officials. Seeing that the immortal spirits were to be tied up, the practitioners on earth turned pale. White Impermanence looked up at Black Impermanence in the sky, who had manifested his thousand-foot-tall Dharmakaya true form, holding chains, and fighting one against two celestial officials who were unwilling to go to the underworld.

A dignified old man with white hair murmured:

"It's difficult. Can't even become an immortal live forever?"

Bai Wuchang replied: "Of course."

"But immortality is not eternal life."

"Longevity is easy, just start practicing, but eternal life is difficult."

“In the most ancient times, only when the three flowers gather at the top of the head can one be a real person. One has sought the word ‘real’ and can be free and unfettered, but has not yet stepped out. The soul is not pure and cannot endure the pain of time. There is a limit to the lifespan of the soul. The limit of lifespan does not mean that the physical body cannot survive, but that the soul cannot endure the years…”

The God of the Underworld said unwillingly: "It sounds so nice, but isn't it decided by you, the underworld?"

Bai Wuchang couldn't help but laugh and said, "We have decided on the underworld?"

"How advanced do you think our abilities are? Can we easily extend the life span of cultivators?"

"No, no."

"It's not us who decided your lifespan, but we know that your lifespan is coming to an end, so we come to deal with it in advance. To put it nicely, we are called soul-collectors, but to put it bluntly, we are just scavengers who clear out unstable things for the order of the six realms."

"After all, the soul cannot bear the damage of time and will collapse and be annihilated. That is the real death."

"Of course, to be honest, it doesn't matter whether you live or die, but for cultivators like you, the collapse before the annihilation of your primordial spirits often turns directly into unconscious madness. Because you are unwilling to die, you do all kinds of crazy things. In ancient times, cultivators would take over other people's bodies at will. The living were not alive, and the dead were not dead. There were struggles and confrontations. The era of imbalance between life and death was really a headache."

The always smiling Bai Wuchang opened his eyes, lowered his eyes, and said in a calm tone:

"We are merely following the most ancient covenant to divide the gap between life and death."

“Maintaining the dignity and distinction between life and death.”

"I am only taking these souls that could explode at any time into the underworld."

The fight in the sky seemed to have reached a certain point. The flesh bodies of the two immortals had decayed, but they had already gathered their three flowers at the top of their heads. A bit of true qi had fallen into their souls, and even their souls were no different from flesh bodies. They waved their hands and fought. Finally, the immortal official shouted angrily, "I am young and strong. I have traveled the world, accumulated eight hundred external skills, subdued demons and monsters, and practiced Taoism for three hundred years to ascend to heaven. How dare you!"

"My fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of ..."

He was grinning miserably and was ready to pay the price, fighting to the death even if his soul was burning.

For a moment his mind was clear, but he suddenly looked in one direction and saw two strands of white hair behind Bai Wuchang and a pair of eyes that were calm and almost indifferent. He saw a young Taoist raising his eyes, with white hair slightly raised at his temples. His eyes were calm and generous, as if including the world, yet indifferent and almost ruthless. His Taoist heart stagnated, and a feeling of fear and terror arose almost instinctively.

That, that is!!!

In an instant, the Taoist heart lost its balance.

A chill ran down my spine, and my limbs felt cold.

The next moment, the soul-catching rope became immeasurably huge, circling in the void, and the chains whistled like a black dragon in prison, covering all the light in the sky and the sea of ​​clouds, and then suddenly contracted and tied up the Heavenly Official directly.

He was tied up directly.

He was tied up with a rope and brought back like a rice dumpling.

All the spirits were silent.

The immortal official saw that what he had seen before was just an ordinary young Taoist. Judging from the clarity of his primordial spirit, he had not yet reached the state of "planting lotus in fire". He was just an innate one. He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Ah, really... Is it true that today is the day for me to die? Is my true spirit ignorant?"

"I actually mistook you for that person..."

"That is the True Lord of Zhongtian Beiji Exorcism Institute, with three flowers gathering at the top of his head and five qi returning to the origin."

"How could it be a little kid like you?"

The old Taoist was depressed.

Hei Wuchang pulled the chain, raised his eyes slightly, and said lightly: "Did you recognize the wrong person?"

“No wonder there was no resistance in the end.”

"Are you frightened?"

Bai Wuchang said in surprise: "With your skills, you are only a few steps away from the Five Qis Returning to the Origin."

"He can be considered a well-known and well-known Great Heavenly Official who bestows blessings."

"Let me see. The position is promoted to Seven Spirits Flying Steps Immortal Official Yutian Dongjing Mage, and he is promoted to the Great Immortal Official in charge of the Divine Sky Palace."

"I was so scared that I didn't dare to take action just because I mistook the person."

"But who is it?"

The Great Immortal Official of the Divine Sky Jade Palace sighed and said nothing more, while Bai Wuchang smiled and said with a smile: "You are lucky today. We have completed our work early. It is a good thing that we can go to the underworld early today. Let's go. Follow us to the underworld."

In an instant, the soul traveled thousands of miles, from heaven to the human world, and then passed through layers of earth veins, entering an extremely cold and dark place.

Qi Wuhuo vaguely felt a sense of breaking through obstacles and had reached the underworld.

Looking up, I saw that everything was dim, there was no sunlight, and it was gloomy. Only cold souls came and went. It was cold and gloomy, without any sign of life. There was not a single plant on the earth, but there were dim clouds and mist lingering in all directions. Looking up, from afar, I could only see the cold and endless land, and vaguely, there was a palace rising up, which was very oppressive.

The underworld is independent of the Heavenly Official, the Water Official, and the Earthly Official.

It has its own system, which is the underworld.

Everyone saw from afar that teams of soul-catchers were bringing souls.

The ordinary soul-collecting messengers were just mortals without any cultivation. However, among them, there was a great immortal official from the Shenxiao Palace, so the ten great Yin Marshals from the Yin Gods were needed to take action to avoid any trouble. The great immortal official sighed, looked at the scene, and said, "The underworld..."

"I never thought that after thousands of years of practicing Taoism, I would eventually come here."

The young Taoist turned sideways, looked at the great Heavenly Official, and asked, "Has the Heavenly Official of the Underworld never been here?"

The Great Heavenly Official had already seen that the young man in front of him was just a cultivator with innate Qi.

Furthermore, I saw that he was distracted before, which led to his capture.

I was extremely resentful.

But when he saw the white hair on the temples of the young Taoist and his peaceful eyes, he didn't know why he felt a little weaker in his heart and could only sigh. On that day, when he was on the third heaven steps, he saw the Great Demon Lord holding a sword and slowly going up, his battle robe fluttering in the wind, his white hair on his temples flying, his demeanor so magnificent. How could he be distracted to this extent today by this young Taoist who died just after he had achieved the first innate qi?

But he still sighed and replied, "Yes, the underworld."

"The underworld is actually not in the three realms of heaven, earth and man."

"I have my own methods. I never go out. My purpose is just to maintain the gap between life and death, and to determine the order between life and death. I know that life and death are serious matters, and I must not show any mercy. However, I am not the kind of crazy person who would wantonly seize the bodies of others, so there is no need to..."

Hei Wuchang said indifferently: "Every ghost king who has committed a heinous crime has said so."

"If you die, you die."

"At worst, I'll be reincarnated."

The Great Heavenly Official was helpless. He ignored the Black Impermanence over there, looked at Qi Wuhuo, smiled bitterly, and said, "What else can I do?"

"If you don't reach the state of Yang Shen's clarity, your life span will eventually be limited."

"It is said that there is a treasure in the underworld that can determine the death of souls in advance, so there are ghost messengers in the underworld who are responsible for bringing these souls to the underworld. After all, ordinary ghosts will be scattered by the wind and will collapse under the sun. Water can even trap them. For these, the main thing is to protect them; and for us, it is to be vigilant."

"Hey, this system is responsible for maintaining the cycle of reincarnation in the six realms."

"With the Ten Palaces of the Netherworld as the core, ten top True Lords, including Taisu Miaoguang, Yinde Dingxiu, and Dongming Pujing, preside over the Netherworld. However, these True Lords are only at a certain level..."

The Great Heavenly Official sighed.

The young Taoist understood what he meant. The gap between one True Lord and another was so huge that it made people despair.

Bai Wuchang smiled and said, "Those ten True Lords are just True Lords."

"That is, in this netherworld, we can leave the Emperor's soul behind, and then kick it into the reincarnation platform."

"Does the Great Heavenly Official want to give it a try?"

The Heavenly Official smiled bitterly, shook his head repeatedly, and said self-deprecatingly:

"I am just a celestial official. Legend has it that the Emperor of Heaven must pass through here to experience his tribulations."

"If Emperor Donghua was not..., his soul should have gone here too."

Hei Wuchang said calmly: "I went there that day."

"Heaven."

"I watched the head roll to my feet."

"Donghua."

"The three souls and seven spirits were gone on the spot."

"pity."

Bai Wuchang laughed and said, "Don't be nervous, everyone. What he meant is that the opportunity to capture the soul of an emperor is extremely rare, and it may not come once in tens of millions of years. In fact, he was waiting there in advance, but he didn't expect that the killers in the Arctic Exorcist always compete with us for business, and this time is no exception."

"They want to kill the emperor."

"We just want to send the Emperor to hell for three thousand years."

"So, it's better to meet our brothers than to meet the Arctic Exorcism Institute."

Everyone looked dazed.

The Great Heavenly Official smiled stiffly. With the suppression of the Ten Underworld Palaces, even if Donghua was cut off from his cultivation and thrown down, he would probably have to wander around in the Eighteen Layers of the Underworld for an epoch. He had no choice but to find a new topic and sighed:

"However, I heard that the underworld is extremely cold and without sunlight, so I came here today."

"Not bad, actually?"

The earth god also said: "It seems so. It's quite warm?"

The Black and White Impermanence did not think anything was unusual. Those who had just been pulled down found that the underworld was much better than they had imagined. The young Taoist suddenly felt something strange and subconsciously turned his head to look. He was slightly startled and saw the underworld, which was extremely cold and domineering. The underworld was in charge of everything.

And this place where there is no sunlight is named "You".

A sword was floating there slowly.

Not far behind the young Taoist, the sword was slender with a blood-red streak on the sword spine.

And because it had killed Donghua and was full of the emperor's blood, the sword was shining golden, like the rising sun.

It followed silently and floated not far behind Qi Wuhuo.

It seemed shocked by the number of souls and flesh here.

Too many!

There were so many that even Xuehe was shocked - how could there be so many!

Then the sword's meaning gave birth to a line of words in the soul of the young Taoist:

[Can I eat it? ]
