Back in the mountain temple, Fang Jian released Hong Jing's Nascent Soul and removed the restraints on his Nascent Soul.
After Hong Jing's Nascent Soul appeared, he first looked around in fear, then his gaze fell on Fang Jian and he kowtowed quickly, saying, "Little demon Hong Jing pays homage to the mountain god."
"Hong Jing!" Fang Jian looked at him and said, "Hong Yuanhua has been taken to the Heavenly Palace and will be executed soon."
Hong Jing trembled all over, and his Nascent Soul bowed his head and cried out, "Please spare my life, Grandpa Mountain God. I know I am wrong."
Fang Jian looked at him and said, "Your body is dead. You will return to the underworld and be reincarnated."
Hong Jing's Yuanying face trembled, then he closed his eyes and said, "Yes, it's all up to Grandpa Mountain God to arrange."
As long as the cultivator's Nascent Soul and Primordial Spirit are still alive, even if the physical body is destroyed, he can enter the world and take over another body without having to reincarnate.
This possession is not simply the possession of a mortal body, but a possession in a broad sense. For example, Ganoderma lucidum, animals, fish and insects can all be possessed.
However, how much of the previous cultivation level can be recovered after taking over another body depends on whether the body's foundation is strong enough.
However, the method of taking over another's body violates the heavenly rules. As an immortal official, Fang Jian will never allow anyone to do this in front of him.
Since Hong Jing's physical body has been destroyed, he should be reincarnated and can no longer remain in the human world.
Thinking of this, Fang Jian couldn't help but wonder in his heart, if his physical body was destroyed one day, would he also have to reincarnate?
Just as he had this thought, a stream of information came into his mind from the Hongmeng Editor, which said something like, 'If the host's body is destroyed, the editor can be used to reshape it, and it only requires the consumption of Hongmeng Dao Qi.'
Fang Jian was shocked. Such a good thing existed? He quickly asked, "How much Hongmeng Dao Qi does it take to rebuild a physical body?"
The editor replied: "Rebuilding the mortal body requires 1 strand, the spiritual body requires 10 strands, the bones of steel require 100 strands, the flawless golden body requires 1000 strands, the immortal jade body requires 10,000 strands, the powerful martial god requires 100,000 strands, the sanctified flesh requires 1 million strands, and the innate Taoist body requires 10 million strands."
Fang Jian glanced at the editor information bar and found that he only had 2 strands of Hongmeng Dao Qi.
But he did feel much more at ease. He didn't need to possess another body or reincarnate. He only needed the Hongmeng Dao Qi to reshape his body. It was very good and very powerful.
Hong Jing's Yuanying looked at Fang Jian, who had a serious expression on his face, and lay there without daring to say a word.
After a long while, Fang Jian finally raised his head, looked at Hong Jing and said, "I'll send you to the underworld."
Hong Jing was filled with melancholy. He had worked so hard to cultivate the Nascent Soul Dao in this lifetime, but now it was gone. Who could he blame? He could only blame himself for following Hong Yuanhua and occupying the mountain temple.
Fang Jian was about to ask for the Yellow Springs Road to be opened when a loud laugh suddenly came from outside the hall, saying, "Don't bother, Mountain Lord. I have been ordered to come and fetch you."
Fang Jian looked up and saw a sinister ghostly aura floating into the hall, followed by a man in a white robe appearing in the hall.
The man wore a tall hat, had a long scarlet tongue hanging out of his mouth, and held a mourning stick in his hand. He looked chilling at the sight of him.
When Fang Jian saw this person, he immediately stood up and bowed, saying, "So it's Lord Wuchang. Fang Jian, the God of Duanjie Mountain, is honored to meet you."
It turned out that the person who came was Bai Wuchang, one of the Black and White Impermanence of the underworld. As the main god of the underworld, Bai Wuchang was a fourth-grade immortal official in the Nascent Soul Realm, two levels higher than Fang Jian.
After Fang Jian saluted, Bai Wuchang returned the salute and said, "I am here by order of Lord Cui to take Hong Jing to the underworld to take over the position of the Lord of the Ten Palaces. I also ask the mountain god to hand over this man's Nascent Soul to me."
The underworld is under the jurisdiction of the Great Emperor Dongyue, who is in charge of the "Great Emperor Beiyin Fengdu". Under the Great Emperor Beiyin Fengdu are the "Five Ghost Emperors". Under the Five Ghost Emperors are the "Six Heavenly Guardian Gods of Luofeng". Under the Six Heavenly Guardian Gods of Luofeng are the well-known "Ten Kings of Hell".
All the main affairs of the underworld are managed by the Ten Kings of Hell. Under the Ten Kings of Hell there are three ranks: the Ten Judges, the Ten Ghost Kings, and the Ten Ghost Kings. Below them are the soul-catchers, ghost soldiers, and ghost messengers.
For example, Black and White Impermanence, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, Meng Po God, etc. all belong to the ranks of the Ten Ghost Kings.
As for the lowest ranks, there are the ghost soldiers and ghost messengers. Ghost messengers are easy to deal with; they are ninth-rank celestial officials of the underworld. For example, the ghost messengers Hou and Liu, who are in charge of Yangxia County, belong to the ghost messenger class. Ghost messengers are primarily responsible for apprehending the souls of humans, with a maximum of ten individuals at a time.
But the Yin soldiers are different. They are the eighth-grade immortal officials of the underworld, and they do not go out alone.
If the underworld sends out ghost soldiers, it means that a large-scale war, plague, or natural disaster has occurred in the human world, and there are at least tens of thousands of dead souls who need to be arrested and taken to the underworld.
Therefore, the ghost messenger is equivalent to the police of the underworld, and the ghost soldiers are equivalent to the army of the underworld.
If you were to ask where is the most convenient place to recruit subordinates, it would undoubtedly be the underworld.
Except for the gods who need to be reincarnated directly after death, all living beings in the three realms of heaven are under the jurisdiction of the underworld after death. If you have not committed serious crimes in your life, are not the kind of person who does many evil things, and have a decent level of Taoism cultivation, you may be recruited by the underworld.
But there is one difference. Hong Jing offended the immortal officials and the divine palace of the Heavenly Court. This should be considered a heinous crime, right?
Fang Jian then asked Bai Wuchang about his doubts. Bai Wuchang smiled and said, "That's right, but every year the Underworld issues a special pardon decree approved by His Majesty, allowing the Underworld to pardon some useful ghosts."
After saying this, Bai Wuchang said to Hong Jing, "Hong Jing, you were a Nascent Soul cultivator in the Mingyue Cave Demon Mansion. Today, the Underworld will pardon your sins, but you must serve the underworld in the underworld. Are you willing?"
When Hong Jing heard this, he immediately understood that he was going to become an immortal official in the underworld!
