The Great Desolate Stygian River

Chapter 50
Yao Chi Peach Banquet
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes, the dancing and accompaniment maids slowly withdrew, and the Heavenly Emperor formally straightened his body, and said loudly: "Everyone! Listen to what I said, and you all know that there are many vacancies in the newly established heaven. A fellow Taoist would like to join the Heavenly Court, maintain order on behalf of the heavens, and accumulate merit?"

Silence, since Haotian finished speaking, a needle can be heard in the hall, falling into an awkward silence.

Haotian couldn't hold back anymore. Wasn't there anyone competing to vote? Wasn't there even someone who was willing to join the Heavenly Court?

After a while, Lao Tzu got up: "I have eaten the fruit and drank the wine. I would like to thank the Emperor for the hospitality. I am going back to the Taoist temple. Let me take my leave."

After speaking, he led Xuandu back to Taiqing Palace.

As soon as Lao Tzu left, the rest of the saints got up and left the hall in a mighty way. Seeing this, some great powers and casual cultivators quickly got up and followed.

Haotian's complexion turned livid, but he couldn't express his anger after the good peach feast turned into this.

Seeing that all the saints had left, Styx stood up, Haotian thought that Styx would also leave, but Styx said to Haotian slowly: "My Asura clan is good at killing, I will send some people Come here, please leave some suitable places for them."

Haotian was overjoyed, this may be the only good news today, and he said quickly: "Thank you Brother Minghe for your support, no matter who you send over, Gouchen Shanggong Tianhuang Dadi is waiting for you." Take one shot and give it away.

He saluted and thanked Haotian, and took everyone Shi Shiran back to the underworld. Before leaving, he didn't forget to take some flat peaches back, as snacks for the two boys.

With Styx taking the lead, some excited casual cultivators stood up one after another, wanting to join the Heavenly Court. Although few were above Da Luo, most were below Jinxian, Haotian was still happy and grateful to Styx.

Back in the sea of ​​blood, Minghe ordered King Asura to arrange people to go to the Heavenly Court. After a "friendly" discussion among the Asuras, King Asura went to the Heavenly Court to serve as Gouchen Shanggong Emperor, and together with the other four, they went to the Heavenly Court every day. Every time one person goes to the Heavenly Court to serve as an errand, the rotation takes place every 5 years, and every [-] years is a round.

Ten thousand years later, Styx finally got good news. The lotus flower that wrapped the black tortoise bloomed. Styx moved over in an instant, only to see a colossal creature appearing in the sea of ​​blood and swimming slowly, covering the sky and the sun, huge and unparalleled , with a volume of more than [-] li in radius, every time the limbs are swung, it will create an effect like a submarine tsunami.I saw that the neck and tail of the current Xuanxuan have become much longer, and the black and red carapace spurs on the body are hideous. The exposed dark red skin is protected by black bone armor everywhere, and the limbs have become huge fish fins. There are five spikes protruding from the head, the head is elongated, and two short horns grow upward from the forehead, making it even more ferocious.

Styx was also in a good mood seeing the mysterious tortoise that was much more powerful than before.

Blood-devouring Xuanwu, this is Xuangui's current name, which matches the bloodthirsty vine quite well. He touched Xuanwu's huge head to calm his excitement.At this time, Minghe received a message from Pingxin, so he called Xueling to teach him how to be a qualified guardian beast for Xuanwu.After the blood spirit came, he left a piece of exercise and shot it between Xuanwu's eyebrows, and then left towards the Pingxin Hall.

Entering the Pingxin Hall, seeing Pingxin, Minghe asked: "Are you ready?" Styx called over.

"Okay, let's start now." Styx said, and came outside the sea of ​​blood and the underworld.

Styx took out the item that he had prepared earlier, it was the black jade sarcophagus containing Styx’s body, Styx threw it, and the sarcophagus turned into a stream of light and flew to the place below the underworld, above the sea of ​​blood, After a while of flickering, there was only a rumbling sound, and the sarcophagus slowly expanded into a huge continent!Styx waved again, and the Tongtian locust tree planted in the backyard turned into a ray of light, and flew over the continent, only to hear the rumbling sound, the rhizome of the Tongtian locust tree took root in the new continent, with its branches facing the sky, little by little. , Lift up the underworld!

Styx summoned all the bones that were buried at the bottom of the sea of ​​blood, and they became the materials for the growth of the New World.

When the growth stopped, a floating continent appeared above the sea of ​​blood. There was a giant tree in the center of the continent. Above the giant tree were the six reincarnations of the underworld. The canopy of the giant tree could carry the entire underworld, and the continent was more than ten times larger than the underworld. .I saw that this continent is full of evil spirits, dead air everywhere, without any life that should be alive, corpses everywhere, and desolate. At this time, the black mist "leaves" growing on the big tree slowly fell into groups After the soul seeds fell into the ground, moving skeletons slowly grew on the ground.

Minghe declared to the sky: "The way is above, I see countless remnant souls and those who do not fall into reincarnation in the world wandering in the world, pity them and cannot be freed. Now there is a world, called the underworld, where the soul is incomplete, and the evil spirit is too heavy to be reincarnated. When Enter the underworld, complete the soul, and return to reincarnation; those who have no sins but cannot reincarnate should enter the underworld to eliminate their karma and return to reincarnation. Underworld, stand up!" There was a rumbling thunder in the sky at the right time.

And Pingxin also appeared next to Minghe at this time: "There are five immortals in Zhoutian, heaven, earth, gods, humans and ghosts. There should be ghosts and immortals. Today, Pingxin created a lineage of ghosts and immortals to make up for the prehistoric. Doing good deeds and good fortune are in vain. , you can cultivate ghosts and immortals without falling into reincarnation, and those who are successful in cultivation will be able to work in the underworld."

Two huge golden lights of merit fell on the two of them, and Styx's cultivation base had been raised to the peak of the late quasi-sage, but there was still some golden light of merit left.With the help of the golden light of merit, Pingxin mixed the essence and blood of the twelve ancestor witches with Pangu chalcedony to re-condense the body. From then on, the first real saint appeared in the prehistoric world, not the remnant soul that could only be trapped in the underworld like before. .And there is still a small part of the merits poured into the Tongtian locust tree.

At this time, all saints and great powers appeared one after another, and congratulated Pingxin for recovering her physical body, and she was freed from restraints.

Xixi Yingyin and Zhunti looked at each other at the same time, showing an intriguing smile.

"Brother, this is a true saint." "I still swear to Dao Dao." After Yuanyuan and Tongtian finished speaking, they looked at Lao Tzu at the same time.

"The teacher has his own calculations." After Lao Tzu finished speaking, he continued to meditate. Seeing this, Yuan Yuan and Tong Tian could only meditate obediently and not mention it.

Remnant souls and those who have not fallen into reincarnation are absorbed by the Tongtian locust tree, filtered through the tree, and then turned into fruits that fall from the tree. Depending on the strength of the soul, they can grow into skeletons, zombies, or ghosts, etc. Eliminate karma in the underworld.Those who complete their souls and eliminate their karma will either enter the six realms of reincarnation, or practice the ghost realm, and the cycle will follow in turn.

The appearance of the underworld and ghosts and immortals is of great use to the prehistoric world. They are the yin side corresponding to the yang side and the prehistoric world. They can achieve a kind of yin and yang reconciliation effect, which can delay the occurrence of the imbalance between yin and yang caused by the excessive prehistoric way of heaven in the previous life.Moreover, it absorbs more yin and evil spirits, which has the effect of cleaning up floods and prolonging calamities.That's why the Dao has brought down so many merits.

Looking at the increasing number of undead in the underworld, both Pingxin and Minghe are very satisfied. If this continues, the tunnel will have a long luck. If it continues like this, it is hoped that after a long time, it will be separated from the heaven and become independent.
