Traveling through time 1 years late, I was forced to become a powerful person

As the black-robed emperor's decree came down, the underworld that was its own hell broke away from the Nine Netherworlds and began to merge into the Xuanhuang Realm.

The Five Ghost Emperors and the Ten Yama Kings in the underworld were all watching this scene with grim expressions. Although their words were quite fierce, no Golden Immortal dared to actually interfere with the Black-Clothed Emperor's decree.

They could only watch as the underworld seized a portion of the reincarnation authority from the underworld, allowing the Xuanhuang Realm to break away from the reincarnation system of the heavens and myriad worlds.

The figure of the black-clothed emperor who appeared above the Nine Netherworld quietly disappeared, leaving only a turbulent underworld.

The discussions of many high-ranking ghosts and gods, as well as the Ghost Emperor Yama, began to spread throughout the underworld.

"The Lord of Mount Tai has acted recklessly, causing the Xuanhuang Realm to break away from the order of reincarnation in the heavens. This is shaking the foundation of my underworld."

"If other worlds follow suit and create their own underworld to break away from the jurisdiction of the underworld, wouldn't that mean they are treating the underworld as if it doesn't exist?"

"This matter is definitely not a trivial matter and must be dealt with seriously!"

"I propose that we send the Nine Netherworld Envoy to the Xuanhuang Realm to thoroughly investigate the matter concerning the Netherworld."

The sound of discussions resounded throughout the Nine Netherworlds, and many high-level ghosts and gods spoke righteously, wishing they could destroy the newly-born underworld in the Xuanhuang Realm right now.

And at this moment, a sharp voice suddenly rang out.

"The Great Emperor Dongyue has returned to Heaven for a long time, and his judges have gone to Heaven several times but have never paid homage to the Great Emperor Dongyue.

And His Majesty the Earth Emperor has not appeared in the world for 90,000 years. Under what pretext should we send the Nine Netherworld Envoy to thoroughly investigate the Xuanhuang Realm?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the high-level ghosts and gods who had been discussing the matter suddenly fell silent.

They said they would thoroughly investigate the Xuanhuang Realm and the Underworld, but everyone knew that a truly thorough investigation would inevitably involve the Lord of the Underworld, Lord Taishan.

The strong ones below the Daluo realm are not qualified to interfere in this matter at all. There are only two people in the entire underworld who are qualified to intervene.

One of them is the former ruler of the underworld, the Great Emperor Tianqi Rensheng of Mount Tai, the Eastern Peak.

The Great Emperor Dongyue was the Shinto emperor who ruled over the underworld before the Lord of Mount Tai became enlightened. However, after the Lord of Mount Tai gained control of the origin of the Netherworld and became the true lord of the Netherworld, the Great Emperor Dongyue left the Netherworld and returned to the Heavenly Palace in the Upper Realm, no longer caring about the affairs of the Netherworld.

Even if the Great Emperor Dongyue could really be found, this Shinto emperor who had failed in the fight for power over the underworld would not be qualified to dispatch the Nine Nether Envoys to track down the Lord of Mount Tai.

In this way, the only person who can make a decision in the entire underworld is Hou Tu Huang Dizhi, the ancient powerful man who personally created the six reincarnations and founded the underworld.

In the early days of the establishment of the Heavenly Court, Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi was once one of the Four Heavenly Emperors, second only to the Three Pure Ones. It was only because the Heavenly Court established its foundation with Shintoism that Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi was separated from the Four Heavenly Emperors system.

Since then, Hou Tu Huang Di Ji returned to the Earth Palace and has not appeared in the world for 90,000 years.

The reason why the five ghost emperors today can control hundreds of millions of ghosts and gods is because they were once servants of Hou Tu Huang Di Ji. Even the Emperor Dong Yue and the Lord of Mount Tai need to give them enough respect. This is also the reason why they can influence the order of the underworld.

At this moment, the Lord of Mount Tai directly ignored this unspoken rule. They subconsciously wanted to threaten him as before, but suddenly realized that apart from Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi, they had no other confidence to threaten the Lord of Mount Tai.

After a long time, the Central Ghost Emperor, the leader of the Five Ghost Emperors, said with a gloomy expression:
“I will personally go to the Earth Emperor Palace to report this matter to the Earth Emperor.

But before that, I would like to see what kind of agreement our Lord of the Netherworld has reached with the Great Yin Emperor that would allow him to do something like splitting the underworld."

Although his attitude was still as tough as before, he no longer had the arrogance he had before.

Many high-ranking ghosts and gods were shocked, but on the surface they still responded respectfully:
"I will follow the orders of the Central Ghost Emperor."

The black-robed emperor, who was the incarnation of the Great Dao, returned to Taishan Palace. The scene of the Nine Netherworlds reflected in the eyes of Shen Yuan, who was sitting on the throne of Taishan, slowly faded away.

Cutting off a corner of the underworld and turning it into the underworld, such magical powers are naturally far beyond the reach of Shen Yuan at his current level.

Shen Yuan also made use of the remnants of the origin of the Netherworld Avenue on the throne of Mount Tai, combined with his own magical powers to re-evolve the status of the Lord of Mount Tai with the Dharma of the Avenue, and achieved this with the help of the power of the Lord of Mount Tai.

Different from Emperor Donghua Shaoyang whose false body still illuminates this space and time, Lord Taishan has completely fallen in this space and time. Even if Shen Yuan evolves his status of Emperor Daluo with the Dharma of the Great Dao, he does not need to worry about being replaced by Lord Taishan.

"The only pity is that the creation of the underworld this time consumed the remaining Netherworld Great Dao essence on the Taishan throne. Even if I forcefully evolve the status of the Taishan Palace Lord later, I will not have the power I have today."

Shen Yuan sighed slightly, but he had already guessed this result.

However, he did not pin his hopes on the position of Lord of Mount Tai. This evolution was just an opportunity that he could take advantage of.

Holding up the underworld in his left hand, Shen Yuan looked indifferently at the bull head under the throne.

"Niutou receives the order!"

The Niutou's body shook, and he immediately knelt on the ground with his head lowered.

"The Xuanhuang Realm is about to encounter an unprecedented catastrophe, and the connection between heaven and earth will be completed. However, the Xuanhuang Realm cannot be without the order of life and death reincarnation for a day.

I am establishing the underworld today. You will be the chief of the underworld commanders and lead the ten underworld commanders to manage the underworld, maintain the order of life and death, and wait for the changes that will happen ten thousand years from now. "

Niutou hurriedly said loudly:
"I will follow the order of Emperor Fengdu!"

Shen Yuan nodded, and with a wave of his left hand, the underworld began to merge into the Taishan Mansion's Taoist temple, as if it had become the dark side reflected in the Taishan Mansion's Taoist temple, transforming into a land of the Nine Netherworlds where ghosts and gods could rest and recuperate.

Then Shen Yuan's gaze suddenly became extremely deep, and he looked towards the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower in the Zhenlong small world hidden in the depths of the void.

Seeing through the wall and understanding the cause and effect, Shen Yuan reached out and connected the cause of the eighteen levels of hell to the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower.

As soon as the passage to heaven and earth is opened, the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower will return to the underworld and become the eighteen levels of hell unique to the Xuanhuang world.

After this matter was over, the remaining source of the Netherworld Avenue on the throne of Mount Tai weakened again, and the black robe on the black-clothed emperor even began to show signs of fading.

Obviously, this last remaining part of the origin of the Netherworld Avenue is no longer sufficient to support Shen Yuan to regain the status of Lord of Mount Tai.

Shen Yuan slowly raised his right hand and opened up a small world. Ten exquisite seals emitting the aura of the underworld emerged from it.

He took the ten seals into his palm and slowly brought his five fingers together. The remaining source of the Netherworld Avenue was rapidly consumed at this moment.

Finally, when the shadow of the black-clothed emperor completely disappeared and returned to the mythical human emperor, Shen Yuan opened his palms again.

The ten Yama seals in Shen Yuan's hands had disappeared, leaving only a huge imperial seal with a vast land engraved on it and the word Fengdu written below the seal.

Handing the Fengdu seal to Niutou, Shen Yuan's fingertips passed through the void, and the aura of his supernatural power was revealed and turned into an imperial decree from the Lord of Taishan.

Then Shen Yuan said casually:
"This imperial seal and the decree of the Lord of Mount Tai will be temporarily entrusted to you for safekeeping. Thousands of years later, they will be handed over to the Humane Dynasty in the name of the Lord of Mount Tai in exchange for the Humane Dynasty's support for the orthodoxy of the underworld."

Niutou took the imperial seal with trembling hands and said seriously:

"I will obey the Emperor's decree!"

As the Fengdu Imperial Seal was handed over, Shen Yuan once again felt the rhythm of the cycle of cause and effect, and another cycle of cause and effect was closed at this moment.

Shen Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and carefully felt the changes in himself. In addition to the loose state, there was also some unknown change that was quietly touching Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan's knowledge was not enough to explain the mysterious changes, so he could only ask Niutou:

"Do you know about karma and reincarnation?"

The ox-headed man's eyes, as big as copper bells, showed a look of doubt, and he spoke carefully:

"Your Majesty, are you talking about the Immortal Tribulation?"

There was a hint of curiosity in Shen Yuan's eyes: "Tell me in detail."

Although Niutou had some doubts in his mind, he felt relieved when he thought about Shen Yuan's transformation from Lord of Mount Tai to Emperor of Fengdu, and continued to explain:

"When a great celestial being has honed his celestial will to a state where there is no room for improvement, he can then attempt to enter the realm of the Immortal Golden Immortal.

If you want to be promoted to immortality, you must go through the calamity of immortality."

“The reason why the Immortal Golden Immortals are called immortal is because they are indestructible. The so-called calamity is the source of cause and effect.

As long as any living being exists, there is a cause and effect connection.

Survival, cultivation, every move has its own cause and effect. Once the catastrophe comes, any cause and effect may turn into a killing calamity under the deduction of the catastrophe.

If you want to become immortal, you need to erase the causes and effects that could turn into killing disasters."

Shen Yuan's eyes moved slightly: "Severing cause and effect? ​​Since we exist in this world, how can we escape the constraints of cause and effect?"

Niutou shook his head repeatedly and said:
“Your Majesty, you don’t know that this so-called severing of cause and effect does not really mean severing all cause and effect, but rather restricting these killing cause and effect.

The simplest way to achieve immortality is to find the causal veins and cut off all the important causes and effects, and then enter Daluo Heaven to meditate for ten thousand years, severing the causal connection with Daluo Heaven. Only when you understand the origin of cause and effect can you try to achieve immortality.

Doing this is a shortcut, although it is the simplest method among many methods of achieving immortality, but severing all causes and effects and entering Daluo Heaven are as difficult as ascending to heaven for ordinary great immortals.

Moreover, by advancing in this way, one may not be able to truly avoid all karma and killing disasters, and many great immortals still died in the process of advancement. "

“The second method is to maintain your own strong cultivation and face the karmic calamity head-on.

When a killing calamity occurs, even a Golden Immortal will fall into the Five Deteriorations of Heaven and Man. If one cannot see through the ignorance of the true spirit, it will be difficult to successfully overcome the calamity even if one has reached the highest level of cultivation.

This is the most orthodox method of overcoming the tribulation. Once one succeeds in overcoming the tribulation and the true meaning of immortality is brewing, no other tribulations can befall him."

Having said this, Niutou paused slightly.

"The third method is what I heard from your Majesty's sermons.

The third method is not to avoid disasters or experience disasters, but to seek the origin of cause and effect and intercept it to transform it into cause and effect reincarnation.

Oneself is both the cause and the effect. All causes and effects are tied to oneself. No external cause and effect can interfere. "

"Your Majesty once gave an example: If a mortal finds the cave of the predecessors and obtains the true Dharma, he will embark on the path of cultivation and reach the realm of great quality.

The Dharma passed down by our predecessors is cause and effect. If we cannot perfect cause and effect, it will be difficult to reach the realm of immortality.

This great master crossed history in an accident and returned to practice Buddhism before leaving behind a cave as a way to pass on the Dharma.

One’s own body is both the cause and the result of the transmission of the Dharma, and it should be the cycle of cause and effect.”

“However, the true cycle of cause and effect is certainly not that simple, and it does not involve simply teaching the Dharma.

Even if Daluo can cross the long river of history, it is still as difficult as ascending to heaven to realize the true cause and effect and reincarnation.

If one day one can truly complete all the karma and reincarnation of one's own body, then that will be a realm above Daluo!"

As soon as these words came out, Shen Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted.

In terms of karma and reincarnation, Shen Yuan has completed two karma and reincarnations, namely, the Human Emperor's destruction of the connection between heaven and earth and the Lord of Mount Tai's founding of the underworld.

This is the great cause and effect involving this world. The completion of two great causes and effects only allowed Shen Yuan to sense some unpredictable mysterious changes.

It was not until Niu Tou's explanation that Shen Yuan realized that this change came from the realm above Daluo, where the Three Pure Ones were.

The next moment, Shen Yuan seemed to have returned to that eternal space and time, sitting on the nine Tao Fruit thrones.

The mysterious changes that resulted from the great cycle of cause and effect seemed to drive Shen Yuan to say those two words.

"Daoguo?"

His heart suddenly trembled, and Shen Yuan quickly dispelled the thought, not daring to immerse himself in it any longer.

There are still many things to do at the moment. If the Dao Fruit is summoned again and some unknown cause and effect is rashly triggered, it will affect the upcoming Jue Tian Di Tong.

Suppressing the throbbing in his heart, Shen Yuan slowly stood up from the throne of Mount Tai and walked out of the Mount Tai Palace.

The appearance of the black-robed emperor who was transformed from the Dharma image of the Great Dao had already shaken the entire Taishan Palace's Taoist temple. One by one, the ghost immortals from the underworld woke up from their retreat and wanted to see the majesty of the Taishan Palace Lord.

There are even several ghost immortals who have already stepped onto the steps of Mount Tai, wanting to climb the stairs to meet the Lord of Mount Tai.

Shen Yuan no longer cared about this result.

All causes of the underworld have been sown. It is impossible for him to do everything himself. Everything will blossom and bear fruit with the help of time.

Standing at the top of the Taishan Steps, Shen Yuan glanced indifferently at the many ghost fairies climbing up the Taishan Steps, and the one in the front was actually an acquaintance.

Leopard Tail walked on the steps of Mount Tai, resisting the suppression of the mist-like Daluo aura around him, and moved forward step by step.

He knew very well that with his level of ghost immortal, it would be impossible for him to successfully reach the top of Mount Tai, but as long as he tried his best, he would have a chance to be received by the Lord of Mount Tai, which was also his real purpose.

Taking another deep breath, Leopard Tail subconsciously looked up at the seemingly endless stairs.

Suddenly, the clouds and mist in front of him dissipated, revealing a figure on the highest level.

The handsome face in white clothes caught Leopard Tail's eyes. He just stood there, as if he dominated everything in the Xuanhuang Realm.

The next moment, the rolling clouds and mist covered everything again, but that stunning glimpse had already been engraved into Leopard Tail's heart.

"Who is he?" (End of this chapter)
