"Ksitigarbha?"

Ta Ling, no, now the burly bald man who should be called Ksitigarbha muttered to himself in a low voice.

With the help of Shen Yuan, Dizang finally got rid of the influence of the Eighteen Levels of Hell and the strange aura, completed the last step of shaping his body, and successfully made himself have a physical body.

This body was tall and strong, with no hair on its head. The power of incense and Shinto bestowed by Shen Yuan was affected by the mixed wishes from the eighteen levels of hell, and turned into a Zen robe with gold and red colors interwoven.

From the outside, Dizang at this moment looks like a monk, but there is not the slightest Zen or Buddha nature in him. What is deposited in that strong body is a wisp of Xuanhuang Qi that can crush a mountain, and the amount of such Xuanhuang Qi in Dizang's body is countless.

At this moment, Dizang can easily kill a Great Immortal in the Return to Void Realm with the strength of his physical body alone, and his strength is no less than that of the Six Gods of Luofeng in the outside world.

Feeling the powerful strength in his body, as well as the power of incense and Shintoism that lingered around him and constantly suppressed the evil spirits and strange auras in the eighteen levels of hell, Dizang's eyes were filled with joy.

At this moment, he no longer needs to worry about the erosion of strange aura and the influence of evil spirits in the short term.

Furthermore, the power of incense and Shinto that he bears comes from Shen Yuan's active division rather than the conferment of the divine position, which means that he will not be suppressed by the divine rank and will have a greater upper limit for growth in the future.

In the future, he can completely derive his own deity status based on the eighteen levels of hell opened up by his own body. If the eighteen levels of hell in the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda can replace the hell in the underworld, he has every hope of becoming a deity comparable to the Emperor!

After a little understanding, Dizang turned to Shen Yuan and saluted with his hands clasped together:

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Shen Yuan played an extremely crucial role in completing the transformation of this physical body. Just one-third of the incense and offerings from the underworld was enough to attract many gods.

In addition, Shen Yuan did not choose to take the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower away but left it in the underworld to create his own destiny, which made Dizang even more grateful. Although he had no deity title, he still put himself in a position belonging to God.

Shen Yuan looked at the Ksitigarbha in front of him, nodded with a smile and said:

"No need to be polite. This is the reward you deserve for transforming into the Eighteen Layers of Hell and suppressing the strange aura."

Paying one third of the incense and Shinto power has added more foundation to the underworld, which is quite a gain.

Shen Yuan naturally had his own plans for making such a huge investment in Dizang.

The contract made ten thousand years ago was witnessed by the Xuanhuang Realm. Even if Shen Yuan did not take away the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower, this half-step world-opening treasure was already at Shen Yuan's disposal. Shen Yuan did not need to worry that Dizang would disobey his orders.

Consuming one third of the power of incense and Shinto to strengthen Ksitigarbha is also strengthening one's own foundation in the underworld.

What's more, this one-third of the power of the incense and the gods is not the original source. If any accident happens, Shen Yuan, who holds the supernatural power of exorcising gods and the throne of the Emperor of Fengdu, can take back this part of the power of the incense and the gods with just a thought.

The most important point is that Shen Yuan needs Dizang to suppress the strange aura gathered in the eighteen levels of hell.

In the entire Xuanhuang Realm, only Dizang, the spirit of the treasure that was born with spiritual intelligence and was half a step away from opening the world, can steadily suppress the erosion of the strange aura. Apart from him, even the true immortals in the blessed land are at risk of erosion.

Shen Yuan suspected that it was not a mere coincidence that the creatures from the outside world, who had been reincarnated in the six realms of reincarnation for thousands of years, transmitted a strange aura.

There is a high possibility that there is a bigger conspiracy behind this matter, and Shen Yuan must be cautious.

When Dizang heard Shen Yuan's words, his expression immediately became solemn and he spoke in a deep voice:

"Ksitigarbha will never let the Emperor down!"

The matter of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower was successfully resolved, and the cause and effect of ten thousand years ago was resumed. Shen Yuan could clearly sense that the cause and effect line that was previously discovered by the star number magic power was quietly dissipating.

The cause and effect spanning tens of thousands of years has been determined. With the completion of this contract, the star-number supernatural power that has already entered the third realm has made significant progress again.

Standing in the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower, Shen Yuan's gaze extended to the outside world, taking in the entire Fengdu City.

The chaotic underworld began to re-establish order, and the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower that evolved into the Eighteen Levels of Hell also returned to the depths of the earth under the control of Ksitigarbha.

Shen Yuan looked at everything in front of him with satisfaction, nodded slightly to Dizang, and took a step forward.

The space changed under Shen Yuan's feet, and a space channel leading directly to the outside world was opened up in the void of the core area.

Dizang stood at the back and bowed respectfully to Shen Yuan.

"Farewell, Great Emperor!"

After walking out of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower, Shen Yuan did not choose to stay in Fengdu City.

The unrest in the underworld has been quelled. Although he is known as the King of Fengdu, he knows nothing about the internal operations of the underworld and does not want to rashly intervene in these matters.

Outside Fengdu City, there are still many things waiting for Shen Yuan to deal with.

Niu Tou, who was leading all the ghosts and gods to guard outside the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower, suddenly raised his head and looked at the figure walking in the sky, realizing that Shen Yuan was about to leave.

"Farewell, Great Emperor!"

Behind the Bull Head, all the ghosts and gods also reacted immediately and praised in unison:

"Farewell, Great Emperor!"

In the many temples, palaces, pavilions and towers in Fengdu City, some ghosts and gods were sensitive to the situation and awakened from their slumber, and their faint voices echoed throughout the entire Fengdu City.

"Farewell, Great Emperor!"

Just a few dozen kilometers away from Fengdu City, Shen Yuan stopped walking in the void.

As Luoshan County was lifted up into the world of the living, the land outside Fengdu City also resumed the rules of the world of the living.

Shen Yuan could clearly sense that as he took the initiative to leave Fengdu City, the blessing of Fengdu Emperor's status was falling like an avalanche.

The farther away from Fengdu City, the weaker the blessing of Fengdu Emperor's status becomes. After dozens of miles, it is even impossible to manifest the body of Fengdu Emperor, and one can only borrow the incomplete status of Fengdu Emperor when using the exorcism order.

The only thing Shen Yuan could be thankful for was that there was no change in the second level's magical power to exorcise gods and to communicate with the dead. Compared to before Shen Yuan came to Fengdu City, his strength had already greatly improved.

Looking around, the underworld environment disappeared and the ghosts were banished into the underworld by Shen Yuan. Shen Yuan walked on the road and did not find any trace of ghosts.

After walking several hundred meters along the road, Shen Yuan's expression suddenly changed and he looked up behind him.

I saw a large truck running at high speed on the empty road.

The truck finally stopped next to Shen Yuan. A middle-aged driver in a blue plaid shirt stuck his head out and looked at Shen Yuan in surprise.

"My little brother, why are you leaving the city so quickly?

I got the news and drove away from the county town as soon as the city gates were opened. I didn't expect that I was even one step slower than you."

Shen Yuan smiled and asked the middle-aged driver curiously:

"Is Luoshan County City open now? Weren't there many places in the county city in turmoil before?"

The driver heard this and showed a lingering fear on his face:

“The previous unrest in the county city was caused by some obsessed idiots and those ghosts.

Those evil spirits would be fine, but some idiots actually wanted to cooperate with the evil spirits to deal with us and gain benefits. As a result, after being killed by the evil spirits, they also became ghosts and caused quite a mess.

Thanks to the Zhennan Marquis dispatching those practitioners to suppress it, the stability of Luoshan County was barely maintained. However, if it drags on like this, the county city will collapse sooner or later. "

The middle-aged driver paused for a moment, and his expression turned into amazement:

"This time, Luoshan County City was able to survive the crisis safely, thanks to the god who appeared in the sky. He directly cleared out the evil spirits inside and outside Luoshan County City, allowing the county city to be stable."

“It’s strange to say, after that deity appeared, the cloudy sky over Luoshan County City began to clear up, and the previous gloomy feeling disappeared.

Some people say that this is because the god brought Luoshan County back from the underworld, but the truth of this news is probably only known by big figures like the Marquis of Zhennan. "

At this point, the middle-aged driver honked the horn and asked Shen Yuan:

"By the way, little brother, where are you going?"

"I have something to do in Luozhou."

The middle-aged driver's eyes lit up: "What a coincidence, I am also planning to go to Luozhou."

Shen Yuan looked at the middle-aged driver in surprise: "Brother driver, why is he in such a hurry to go to Luozhou? Could it be that he just got out of trouble and is in a hurry to go home?"

"I am a native of Luoshan County. This time I went to Luozhou to do business."

The middle-aged driver smiled mysteriously and lowered his voice:

“You don’t know how excited the people in Luoshan County were after the great god expelled the evil spirit.

Luoshan County is adjacent to Fengdu, and has been home to many legends about gods and ghosts since ancient times. After experiencing the catastrophe of a hundred ghosts parading at night and seeing a true god again, people throughout Luoshan County want to invite the statue of the deity back home to protect their homes.

But that great god didn't seem to be any of the ones in mythology, so no one had a clue.

I discovered a business opportunity from this, and contacted a long-established sculpture factory in Luozhou half an hour ago, planning to carve a large number of statues in the image of the deity and transport them back to Luoshan County for sale.

The factory is now stepping up production, and I am going there this time to prepare to send back the first batch of goods."

The corner of Shen Yuan's mouth twitched, and an expression of not knowing whether to laugh or cry appeared on his face.

He didn't expect that his efforts to clear out so many evil spirits would lead to such a consequence, and that his own statue could become a business opportunity.

The middle-aged driver didn't pay attention to the change in Shen Yuan's expression. He would never have thought that the young man in front of him with an immortal look was the god emperor who suppressed many evil spirits a few hours ago.

The middle-aged driver patted the car door generously and said loudly:

"Most people in Luoshan County are afraid of the outside world and dare not leave the city at will. I'm afraid they won't be able to get a taxi for a while.

Meeting is destiny. Since we are both going to Luozhou, why don't you come with me, little brother?"

Shen Yuan hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed. He also wanted to take this opportunity to see the changes in Taizhou.

"Thank you, driver."

The middle-aged driver waved his hand:

"We all escaped from this damn place. We just took a ride. It's nothing more than a small matter."

After a brief stop, the car started again and drove along the empty road towards Luozhou.

At this moment, it has only been half a day since the chaos in the underworld was quelled, and the abyss impact it caused is gradually fermenting.

Dozens of kilometers away from Luoshan County City, a luxurious ceremonial guard slowly walked out of Luoshan County City. Eight practitioners held huge bright yellow banners and stood on both sides of the ceremonial guard. In the center of the team, four dragon horses pulled a luxurious carriage and slowly moved forward.

As the honor guard marched, the aura of humanity rose above the earth, and the barren land that had been eroded by the underworld began to revive again.

The ceremonial guards of kings and princes are not simply decorations, but are derived from the ceremonial guards of the emperor, symbolizing the great gift of the humane dynasty.

The humanitarian spirit contained in the ceremonial procession can suppress evil spirits, and it is Luoshan County City’s last trump card against evil spirits.

However, now that the danger to Luoshan County City has been eliminated, the royal guard is no longer needed to suppress evil spirits, and its original function has been restored.

Sitting upright in the carriage, Marquis Zhennan was feeling quite nervous at the moment.

The secret order from the imperial capital was passed on to Luoshan County, allowing him to learn some of the causes and consequences behind the quelling of the unrest, which made him very grateful.

However, the secret order also gave him a task, which was to go to Fengdu City as the King of Daxia, bring back the envoy of the Imperial Observatory, and establish a certain degree of connection with the underworld.

Recalling the serious tone of Emperor Xia's secret order and the many promises made to the underworld, Marquis Zhennan couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

This promise includes but is not limited to handing over all authority of the City Gods of Taizhou, Luozhou and Yangzhou to the underworld.

Everything in Luoshan County, including the worldly land and appointment and dismissal of officials, can be handled by Fengdu City, and the Daxia court will only retain nominal jurisdiction.

In addition, there are many secret books and treasures open to the underworld, the power of which is almost flattering.

Even when they went to negotiate with the Ten Yin Marshals before the turmoil in the underworld, they did not make this level of concessions.

After all, this was just a promise made to establish contact with the underworld, which was enough to show how much importance Emperor Xia attached to the underworld.

Knowing the cause and effect, Zhennan Hou couldn't help but whispered absentmindedly:

"The power of the Fengdu Emperor may be far beyond my imagination."

The royal procession moved forward and finally saw Fengdu.

Without the underworld environment, from the outside Fengdu City seems just an ancient city without any magical features. Only when you come to the gate of Fengdu City can you feel the grandeur and magnificence of the city of the underworld.

As they moved forward, the royal entourage even discovered that the monks who had previously escorted the two envoys from the Imperial Observatory were standing in a neat line here.

This news was quickly reported to Marquis Zhennan.

The Marquis of Zhennan looked surprised, and before he could call for help, the ancient door opened heavily in a flash.

A cold breath surged out like a wave, and in an instant the land of the underworld spread, as if bringing everyone back to the disordered yin and yang environment of several hours ago.

In that quiet city, dozens of ghost generals wearing black armor and holding weapons stepped out of the city gate. The aura around them was floating. Each of them was a powerful warrior at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm. If there were no royal guards, just one ghost general could kill all the cultivators present.

The ghost generals stood on both sides of the city gate, and clear footsteps could be heard slowly in the dark fog.

The Marquis of Zhennan in the carriage immediately realized that it was the powerful ghost from Fengdu City who came in person, and hurriedly got off the carriage to prepare to greet him.

But as two figures walked out of the fog, Marquis Zhennan widened his eyes in shock.

The two messengers, White Tiger and Vermillion Bird, were seen wearing gorgeous clothes, white and dark red respectively. The man looked mighty and strong, while the woman looked delicate and charming. Their figures seemed to blend in with the entire Fengdu city. It seemed as if there were two tall ghosts and gods standing in the heavy fog, ignoring all living beings.

Just standing here, the aura around them easily suppressed the royal guards. Even the destiny of humanity retreated a few points in front of the two of them.

Dozens of ghost generals standing in front of the city gate knelt on one knee, lowered their heads and chanted in unison:

"Greetings to Zong Ling Qi Fei Tian Gong and Gan Si Lian Wanlu Tian Gong!"
