I searched for corpses in the Wuding River to extract entries

After personally sending his disciple to the Dainichi Palace, Xie Que left without staying for long.

Whether his disciple can successfully obtain the Heavenly Heart Seal remains undecided.

Xie Que did not intend to just wait for the results to be revealed.

For him, all matters in Yingzhou have been settled and come to a successful conclusion.

But this does not mean that he can completely relax, because there are still a series of other tails waiting for him to deal with.

Now, in addition to trying every possible way to help his disciple obtain the Heavenly Heart Seal,
Xie Que still needs to rack his brains to peel off the dark soil of the cave, which is an extremely difficult task.

After all, Yingzhou Heavenly Dao has already taken a fancy to the Cave Heaven and Dark Land and wants to integrate it.

Xie Que had already felt it when he received the imperial decree.

At the same time, he also had to find a way to sever the causal relationship between his original body and Takeshi Kurokawa's body.

Not only that, there are also the underworld and the City God that he had worked so hard to train. Xie Que naturally planned to take them all away together.

After all, it is not an easy task to train these ghosts and spirits to the first level again, and he does not want to have to go through the trouble of finding and training them again in the future.

And for him, this is the most difficult and troublesome thing.

Although the underworld and the city gods are all first-class ghosts and spirits, no matter what, they are all creatures born and bred on the land of Yingzhou and have inextricable ties with this land.

Xie Que wanted to "smuggle" them all out, which was tantamount to stealing the will of all living beings in the Yingzhou world, and was also a damage to the power of heaven.

Therefore, he also planned to do this after obtaining the Tianxin Seal to ensure that there would be no mistakes.

Now, the most important thing is to wait and see whether his disciple can succeed.

If the disciple can successfully obtain the Heavenly Heart Seal, then everything will become much simpler.

However, if his disciple fails, Xie Que can only place his hopes on Furukawa Hideki.

During the time that Hase Toshiki entered the Dainichi Palace, he claimed that he was summoned by the gods.

He must personally go to meet the honorable Majesty Amaterasu to listen to the teachings of the god so as to better govern the land of Yingzhou.

Such a declaration added a layer of loftiness and divine gift to the young emperor Hase Toshiki, and won him great support from the people.

Moreover, the servants of the gods in Kyoto all saw with their own eyes that Hase Toshiki stepped into the Dainichi Imperial Palace. This cannot be false in any way.

This move also brings many benefits to Hase Toshiki.

It not only effectively enhanced Hase Toshiki's reputation, but also further confirmed his noble status as the emperor, as well as the legitimacy and authority of the entire Heian shogunate.

Such declarations and actions undoubtedly brought great political and religious benefits to Hase Toshiki and his shogunate.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, three years had passed.

However, there was no movement inside the Dainichi Palace, and Hase Toshiki did not come out.

Xie Que held his disciple's soul lamp in his hand, and the soul lamp was burning brightly with flames.

This also shows that Hase Toshiki is not only living a good life, but his strength has also greatly grown through constant tempering.

So for now, Xie Que is not worried about the situation of his disciple.

Xie Que originally thought that after waiting for a few more years, regardless of whether Hase Toshiki succeeded or not, he should be able to step out of the Dainichi Palace.

However, things are unpredictable. At this critical moment in the three years of peace, disasters suddenly struck the four islands of Kyushu, the severity of which was rare.

In particular, natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis occurred almost every day in some places, bringing great suffering and destruction to the creatures of Yingzhou.

And every time it happens, it is accompanied by the mysterious death of the local Onmyoji.

Faced with such a situation, although Jie Zi was a powerful man who was half a step away from enlightenment, he was also extremely busy and the incarnations he sent out were simply not enough.

She tried her best to run around to rescue people, but disasters happened so frequently that it was difficult to cope with them.

Moreover, even with Mustard's qi-gazing technique, which had been improved again because Hase Toshiki had grown into a true dragon, he was unable to figure out what had caused so many disasters.

At first, Xie Que thought that it was because his identity was exposed and Yingzhou Tiandao believed that Hase Toshiki had obtained the position in an illegitimate way, thus triggering Tiandao's revenge.

But after observation, he found that this was not the case.

As the "Great Lord of the Netherworld" personally appointed by Yingzhou Tiandao, Xie Que could still clearly feel the endless incense and faith every day.
It is flowing towards himself from the deep cave of the underworld through the channels of the underworld, the city god, and other dead souls and ghosts.

That also means that his identity is still safe in the eyes of Yingzhou Tiandao.

After all, with the power of heaven, it would be extremely easy for a bolt of lightning to kill his body. Why would he have to go around in circles and use natural disasters to warn or punish himself?

How could the losses caused by these natural disasters cause him any harm?

Although Xie Que thought carefully and looked for various possible reasons, he still could not explain why disasters occurred frequently in the four islands of Kyushu.

He could only attribute it to the laws of nature, believing that it was an unpredictable change in the way of heaven that could not be predicted or controlled by human power.

After all, no matter how much divination and calculation one does, one cannot know the mystery of the changes in the laws of nature.

Just after Xie Que gave up looking for the reasons for the frequent natural disasters, they still occurred frequently.

Relying on the support of Onmyoji and means such as population transfer, although the number of people who were able to survive was increased, it was only a drop in the bucket and could not fundamentally solve the problem.

Moreover, those natural disasters seem to be becoming more rampant, with each one being more destructive than before, causing people to live in fear and anxiety.

Faced with such a situation, Jiezi had no choice but to turn to Xie Que for help again.

Xie Que thought a lot again, and he even began to wonder if it was the Soul Summoning Array that he had used frequently before.
This attracted real void creatures, which caused trouble and led to the frequent occurrence of these natural disasters.

However, after a thorough search, they still could not find the real cause of these disasters and could only put the matter on hold for the time being.

At this time, the four islands of Kyushu had suffered severe damage due to tsunamis and earthquakes.

The three islands and one state have been submerged by the sea, and there is no place for human habitation anymore.

In desperation, the population can only continue to migrate inland.

Mustard also frequently calculated the causes of these natural disasters, but never got a clear answer.

She even began to doubt whether there was something wrong with the divination skills she had learned, and this self-doubt almost made her go crazy.

She is now at the critical period of breaking through from the divine realm to the realm of creation. This is a crucial turning point.
If something went wrong at this time, she would probably never have the chance to break through to the realm of the God of Creation in her lifetime.

As these disasters occurred frequently, even the four-clawed true dragon cloud that had just condensed in the Heian Shogunate became much thinner, as if it would dissipate at any time. In order to protect the true dragon status of Hase Toshiki, Xie Que thought for a long time and finally decided to take the risk and ask the heavens.

As the Great Lord appointed by Heaven himself, Xie Que's status is no different from that of the God of Creation who was born in Yingzhou. Naturally, he has a way to contact Heaven.

Xie Que was not willing to do so. After all, the Heavenly Dao had always coveted his own cave heaven and underworld.
But at this moment, there is no other way.

After Jiezi carefully calculated and selected a good day, Xie Que began to make preparations intensively.

He knew very well that in order to communicate with Heaven, he must show enough sincerity and make sacrifices in order to get a response from Heaven.

Therefore, he decided to use the corpses of the great demons in the Pantheon that were infected with the power of the void as sacrifices. As "traitors of the world", these great demons were undoubtedly the best choices for sacrifices.

In the new capital, Xie Que set up the altar.

Led by Jiezi, all the officials of the dynasty kowtowed three times respectfully.

Afterwards, Xie Que also lit several sticks of incense, and the smoke rose straight into the sky.

Although Heaven cannot transform these semi-void creatures into its own power, it is the existence that is most capable of summoning Heaven's response.

Amidst the changing winds and clouds, an eye suddenly appeared in the sky.

The pressure emanating from those eyes instantly made everyone present, except Xie Que and Jie Zi, lose the ability to resist.

They felt an invisible force pressing on their hearts, making them unable to move at all.

He even didn't dare to raise his head to look at those eyes for a second, for fear that his gaze would anger these eyes.

Xie Que also recognized it on the spot. This eye was exactly the one that appeared when he was conferred the title.

He knew in his heart that this eye was the embodiment of the will of Yingzhou's Heavenly Dao.

Amid the roar of thunder, the eyes glanced at the corpse of the big demon, and then several golden lights fell, like rain from the sky, sprinkling on the altar.

Many weak Onmyojis present felt this power and broke through their bottlenecks on the spot.

Although the other Onmyojis who were at a higher level did not make direct breakthroughs, they also gained a lot and felt that their strength had been slightly improved.

Afterwards, the thunderclouds gradually faded and the sky began to clear up again.

Just as the eyes were about to disappear, Xie Que quickly folded a piece of yellow talisman paper, burned it to ashes, and then threw it directly into the wind.

The next moment, the eyes also stopped.

At the same time, a voice reached Xie Que's ears:

"An outsider has infiltrated the Yingzhou world."

There was so much information contained in these words that Xie Que almost jumped up in shock.

However, he immediately came to his senses and realized that Tiandao was not referring to him.

Otherwise, there would be no need for Heaven to tell me this information.

He pondered for a moment and realized that the purpose of what Tiandao said might be to reveal the truth about those natural disasters.

Those frequent natural disasters might be caused by the "outsider".

Xie Que naturally believed in what Tiandao said.

After all, as a being with absolute rationality, Heaven will never tell you anything easily. Once it has said it, it cannot be false.

Today, although the sky curtain has become much thinner and is no longer as solid as before, with the strength of a Heavenly Monarch of the Other Shore,

The power of time contained in this sky is still terrifying. It is impossible for ordinary strong people in the realm of creation to break through this membrane and sneak into the world of Yingzhou.

The next moment, the voice of Heaven resounded in Xie Que's mind again: "Remember your promise."

The promise made by the Heavenly Dao was naturally the great wish that Xie Que made when he received the Heavenly Order.

It was this sentence that made Xie Que's pupils shrink instantly, and he gradually formed a guess in his mind.

Thinking back to the people he had come into contact with after coming to Yingzhou, the only two who knew about this matter were Lord Tianwei and Monk Daoming.

Tianwei Shenjun knew about my coming to Yingzhou because he needed his help to "airdrop" some resources;
However, considering the strength of Lord Tianwei, it is impossible for him to sneak into Yingzhou without being discovered.

As for Monk Daoming, he met him when he was heading to the underworld. His cultivation was unfathomable. Xie Que guessed that he was most likely a top-notch figure on the other side as well.

Monk Daoming once wanted to restore the cycle of life and death in Yingzhou to the order of the underworld, and promised to reward Xie Que with the power of reincarnation.

Now it seems that the underworld can no longer wait?
Xie Que's brows were knitted, his heart was full of doubts and puzzlement, but he couldn't figure it out.

With Monk Daoming's strength, if he wanted to enter the Yingzhou world, he could just blast open the sky and expose the Yingzhou world to the outside world. Even facing the way of heaven directly would not be a big deal.

After all, Monk Daoming's strength is unfathomable, and it is very likely that he has reached the realm of the Lord of the Other Shore.

Now that Monk Nichiren has fallen into a deep sleep, if Monk Daoming really comes, it would be like a tiger among a flock of sheep, and he would be unstoppable.

Xie Que knew this very well, so he couldn't understand why Monk Daoming would choose this sneaky way instead of directly intervening forcefully.

After some guessing, Xie Que was shocked, and an amazing idea came to his mind. Could it be that Monk Daoming had discovered his own cave heaven and underworld?

Although his own cave paradise and underworld is nothing in the eyes of the Lord of the Other Shore, its rules are already perfect. If he can complete the complete law of reincarnation, it will be able to replace the real underworld after it becomes stronger.

If this cave paradise was discovered by the real underworld, Xie Que knew that the other party would definitely not let him stay.

After all, the existence of the Cave Heaven Underworld is undoubtedly a threat to the real underworld.

There is only one sun in the sky, and the same is true in the underworld.

But in the same way, with Monk Daoming's strength, there is no need to beat around the bush, and breaking through the cave heaven and underworld is just a matter of a slap.

After thinking it over, Xie Que gave up these chaotic ideas and decided to take it one step at a time.

Just a few days later, Xie Que was horrified to find that his life and death millstone was actually being pulled by an external force.

However, this pulling force is not strong after being restrained by the entire underworld.

This pulling force only lasted for a short time before disappearing.

But this was enough to make Xie Que shudder. After all, he had spent hundreds of years painstakingly refining this grinding wheel of life and death.
In addition, within the millstone of life and death, there is nothing else except the two permanent energies of life and death.

Therefore, there is only one answer for the object being pulled, and that is the will of heaven. (End of this chapter)
