Chapter 189: Things Start to Divide

Time flies, and thousands of years pass in the blink of an eye.

During these ten thousand years, the Twelve Immortals gathered resentful souls from all over the netherworld, and finally transformed the resentment in them, turning them into pure souls to enter reincarnation.

As time passed, the entire underworld began to expand gradually, and various paradises were slowly gathering together.

In the end, like the primitive world, it condensed into thirty-six caves and seventy-two blessed places. Although it is still not as good as the primitive world itself, it is enough to show the great potential of the underworld.

During these ten thousand years, great gods from all sides either took action personally or sent incarnations to enter the netherworld, all wanting to get a piece of the pie.

However, the Twelve Jade Immortals had already surrounded this place, and relying on the power of the Ancestor of the Styx, they tightly controlled the six reincarnations. No one could interfere at all. Naturally, they were helpless and could only assist from the side to divide the luck.

Although this action caused the loss of luck, the Twelve Jade Purity Immortals also knew the principle of leaving a way out when doing things. Moreover, with the help of these great gods, they gathered souls faster and naturally gained more luck.

In addition, the ancestor of the Styx also established a religious sect called Asura, he himself was the leader of Asura, and Guangchengzi was the deputy leader.

Ever since one of the reincarnations was designated as the Asura path, the ancestor of the Styx no longer had to work hard to gather souls. He only had to sit at home and his souls would naturally enter the bodies of those newborn Asura fetuses.

However, although he had free time, the Old Ancestor of the Styx was still too lazy to teach the Asura clan, and threw them all to Guangchengzi.

So while Guangchengzi was busy with the affairs of the Netherworld Sect, he also had to find time to teach the Asura clan, and occasionally help other fellow disciples reconcile conflicts in the Netherworld. He was really very busy.

Fortunately, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was very concerned about education, so he helped Guangchengzi take on the responsibility of educating the Asura clan. With the assistance of Master Xuandu, he was able to have some free time.

One day, when Guangchengzi was thinking about whether he should call Suiren over, a purple gold talisman suddenly fell from the sky, ignoring many formation restrictions and flying directly in front of Guangchengzi.

The person who could ignore the restrictions set by Guangchengzi, and even just use the power carried by a talisman, must be a saint.

When the saint sent down the edict, Guangchengzi did not dare to hesitate and took it and looked at it immediately. However, there was nothing written on the edict, only a pattern printed on it, which was the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.

“Could it be that the master has something to tell you? Why isn’t he writing about it?”

When Guangchengzi was wondering, twelve beams of fairy light suddenly flew over from afar. They were the other twelve immortals and the great master Xuandu.

These twelve people also held a talisman in their hands. The talisman that the twelve immortals took out was the same as his, also purple gold in color, and only had a Three Treasures Jade Ruyi printed on it.

The talisman held in the hand of Master Xuandu was printed with Laozi’s Doctrine of the Mean.

Seeing that even Master Xuandu had obtained the talisman at this time, Guangchengzi knew that something big had happened on Mount Kunlun, otherwise Yuanshi Tianzun would not have asked him to return so casually. Even Laozi had called Master Xuandu.

Chi Jingzi held the talisman in his hand and asked in confusion, “Big Brother, what does Master mean by this? Does he want us to return to Kunlun Mountain?”

Guang Chengzi nodded and said, “Yes, Master has summoned us, so let’s go back first. Anyway, we have the incarnation here, so there is no need to rush for a moment. Master’s matter is more important.”

Master Xuandu hesitated at this moment, but still took a step forward and said, “Everyone, I received a letter a few years ago. It was written to me by the immortals of Jiejiao. I ignored it at first, but after reading it today, I think it may be related to this letter.”

After hearing this, Guang Chengzi raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, “What letter is it? Senior Brother Xuandu, can you let me take a look?”

The great master Xuandu had no objection and immediately handed a piece of gold paper to Guangchengzi. When Guangchengzi took it and looked at it, his brows furrowed and a sneer flashed across his face. He scolded: “It’s just wishful thinking!”

Seeing Guangchengzi’s reaction, Chijingzi, the second of the Twelve Supreme Immortals, could not help himself and went over to take a look. He was also furious and shouted, “Sure enough, he is such a despicable person who knows how to use such dirty tricks and even encourages Senior Brother Xuandu behind the scenes. He is really despicable!”

Seeing these two people’s reactions, the other immortals couldn’t help but feel curious. Guangchengzi also passed the gold paper in his hand around, and everyone who saw it was furious.

Master Xuandu shook his head and said, “Those Jiejiao immortals said they wanted to redefine the territories of the three religions on Kunlun Mountain because they have so many disciples but only have these territories, which is really unfair.

It should be redefined according to the number of people, and I was also asked to report to Master and let Master preside over it. I thought it was ridiculous at the time, so I ignored it.

But today, Master and Second Uncle both summoned us to return to Kunlun, and I felt that this might be related to it.”

The twelve immortals all had sneers on their faces. If the Kunlun area was divided according to the number of people, then they would not need to live in Kunlun anymore. They could just give it all to the Jiejiao immortals and search for blessed places everywhere.

Everyone knows that although Jiejiao claims to have tens of thousands of immortals, the actual number may be more than a million. Tongtian Jiaozhu did not accept so many disciples, but his disciples would not stop accepting for life. He accepted them one by one, and those who were accepted continued to accept more people, so naturally there would be more and more.

Guangchengzi was puzzled at first, but after reading the letter, he had some guesses in his mind.

So without any hesitation, he immediately called Dapeng and pulled up his Dharma carriage. The other twelve immortals also got into the Dharma carriage, and the group of immortals went towards Kunlun in a mighty manner.

Naturally, the movement of Guangchengzi and his followers could not be concealed from the great gods in the underworld.

Seeing that the thirteen people were moving away, he thought he could take this opportunity to fight for luck. However, unexpectedly, the various incarnations of the twelve immortals quickly moved out and guarded against each other, leaving him no chance to intervene at all.

There are also two killing swords hanging in the Yellow Springs at the outermost part of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. One is called Yuantu and the other is called Abi. They are filled with murderous aura and no one dares to offend them.

Suddenly, the sound of Buddhist chanting was heard. It was Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva holding the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, saving the wronged souls in a hell. Thousands of seven-colored wonderful lights rose up, illuminating this place like a land of Buddhist music. Naturally, no one dared to violate it.

When Guangchengzi and his companions returned to Kunlun, they found that Kunlun at this time was very different from when they left. Apart from their own Taoist temple, demonic auras were spreading almost everywhere, whether in mountain streams or deep forests.

Ever since the appearance of the demon race, almost all the innate and acquired races from all sides have been pulled into the demon race, whether they are willing or not.

In the end, only the five major races of gods, Asura and humans could maintain their independence, while even the other hundreds of innate races called themselves demon races.

The law of nature keeps turning, everything is born and destroyed. Even though there are tens of millions of demon tribes, and they are different from each other, they all belong to the same tribe, so it is natural that demonic energy will appear. Just like dragon energy, phoenix energy, and human energy, it has become a symbol of the race.

But unlike the domineering dragon energy, the noble phoenix energy, and the gentle human energy, this demonic energy seemed particularly agitated, and even had a slight fishy smell emanating from it, which was extremely unpleasant.

Guangchengzi couldn’t help but frown when he saw it. Just at this moment, several evil spirits rose into the sky and actually came towards his carriage with great momentum, and it was obvious that they came with ill intentions.

“Humph! When there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes king. The great master of the Chan Sect is here, and you dare to act so presumptuous!”

Chi Jingzi was furious when he saw this, and without hesitation, he used the Yin Yang Mirror. A flash of red light passed by, and immediately killed the evil spirits.
Seeing several souls flying out, he pointed out a few wisps of hell air and attached them to the souls.

The omnipresent Yellow Spring appeared, immediately dragging these souls into the underworld. The aura of hell was aroused, immediately taking the souls into hell, and they would be tortured in hell millions of times before it was over.

However, this action seemed to stir up a thousand waves, and suddenly more demonic energy rose into the sky. Although there was the power of Shangqing Immortal Law in it, it was very weak. Not only did it not suppress the demonic energy, but it also helped its strength.

Hearing the shouts and curses from these evil spirits, Taoist Cihang could not help it. Daring to humiliate Guangchengzi in front of them was equivalent to humiliating them.

He immediately took out the Glazed Pure and Tranquil Bottle, and a stream of black gas gushed out, instantly grabbing all the demons and fairies into the bottle. He shook it casually, and they all turned into ashes.

Taoist Cihang also pointed out that the aura of hell was attached to them, so that after they died, they would definitely be tortured by hell.

Guangchengzi said nothing and waited for his fellow disciples to finish their work before leading the immortals back to Yuxu Palace, while Master Xuandu went to Bajing Palace.

While waiting for the Twelve Immortals to enter the palace, they found that there were quite a lot of people here. In addition to Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu sitting at the top, Duobao and other four direct disciples were standing below, Zhao Gongming and Sanxiao were on the side, in addition there were some immortals with great reputation in Jiejiao, such as the Seven Immortals.

Now that Master Tongtian has come here with many disciples, Yuanshi Tianzun is sitting alone on the high platform, which seems a bit deserted.

However, when the twelve immortals entered with murderous intent, the immortal from the Jiejiao sect was made to look inferior.

After all, they have been practicing Taoism in Kunlun Mountain for many years and have enjoyed peace for a long time. They are not like the Twelve Immortals who have to work hard in the underworld to train themselves.

Not to mention that many great players came in later, and things became even more chaotic and complicated, but they still managed to get through it one by one, so they are naturally different from others.

Looking at his outstanding disciples, who were blessed with auras, foreheads blue and purple, and full of vigor and vitality, Yuanshi Tianzun also had a smile on his face, thinking that accepting Guangchengzi as his disciple was the right thing to do.

Seeing the arrival of the Twelve Immortals, Tong Tian Jiaozhu could no longer suppress his anger and immediately questioned Yuan Shi Tianzun: “Second brother, these Twelve Immortals have committed such sins in the netherworld, and they are full of ghostly aura and evil spirits. They do not have the slightest demeanor of immortals and are like demons. Why don’t you discipline them properly!”

Yuanshi Tianzun sneered and said, “Full of ghostly spirits and evil spirits? But why do I feel that it is a blessing of countless virtues and auspicious auras? All immortals should learn from the actions of the Twelve Supreme Immortals. This is the role model for immortals.

Third Junior Brother, is it possible that something went wrong with your cultivation? You actually regarded this auspicious sign as a demon. Do you need me to help you resolve it? Just like before.”
