Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

The news that there was an immortal in Lingyouzhou was like a huge rock, causing the Yu Dynasty, which had been based in the southeast for 87,500 years and was like a stagnant pool of water, to completely boil.

Even if the Yu Dynasty court wanted to conceal this news, the news that Jiang Sheng had appeared in several states one after another and was extracting spiritual veins could not be concealed at all.

Jiang Sheng's appearance in the location is quite clever, Fuhezhou, Pingquzhou, Lianyangzhou
These famous fertile lands within the Yu Dynasty were also the prefectures and counties with the most ghosts and gods, and the most independent cultivators. They were clearly scattered across the east, west, south, and north of the Yu Dynasty and were not connected to each other, but Jiang Sheng had chosen these places precisely and announced his existence with practical actions.

Obviously, Jiang Sheng was just testing, testing Yu Chao's reaction, testing Youming's reaction.

The result of Jiang Sheng's test was that Yu Chao had no reaction at all.

The court of the Yu Dynasty seemed to ignore Jiang Sheng. Even when Jiang Sheng extracted spiritual veins one after another in broad daylight, the court of the Yu Dynasty turned a deaf ear and dumb.

For a while, the noble families of the Yu Dynasty became restless.

These ghost and god families were keenly aware that this heyday of ghosts and gods that had lasted for a hundred thousand years, and the end of the human world, seemed to be ushering in some changes.

Yudu, the royal capital of the Yu Dynasty.

Just as the Yu Dynasty was located in the southeast of the Mountain and Sea Realm, the location of Yudu was also in the southeast of the Yu Dynasty. It was located on the largest plain in the territory of the Yu Dynasty, occupied the most fertile land, and built the largest royal city.

The entire Yu capital occupies an entire state, covering millions of miles. In this huge royal city, temples are everywhere, and the atmosphere of the world and the breath of incense and faith are surging and covering the sky and the sun.

The entire royal city was shrouded in the mist of worldly incense. Huge and majestic ghosts and gods hung above Yudu, absorbing the incense of the world and breathing out the breath of ghosts.

The core of Yudu is undoubtedly the royal palace in the central area.

Within the palace walls, solemn and majestic palaces are connected in an endless stream, forming one palace after another. The corridors, terraces, palace buildings and palaces are all magnificent and grand, highlighting the atmosphere of the dynasty.

The entire palace and even the entire Yu Capital, although luxurious, did not have the slightest sign of extravagance. Everything was in order, and all the buildings were neatly arranged. On the wide streets, bronze chariots kept going back and forth, like a river, but there was no sound of people or horses neighing. Everyone was silent, giving people a sense of majesty and awe, like a ghost city on earth.

The Yu Dynasty has lasted for 87,500 years and has had 175 emperors.

After each generation of Emperor Yu ascended the throne, he would choose a state within the territory of the Yu Dynasty and then build his own mausoleum.

When this generation of Emperor Yu has chosen his successor, he will enter his own royal mausoleum in a grand ceremony, accompanied by his soldiers, maids, and relatives. He will then transform into a ghost or god and enter the underworld.

It was in this way that the Yu Dynasty built one ghost town after another in the underworld.

From the time when the first Yu emperor could only build tombs around the royal capital, to the time when the Yu emperor could build tombs in any state of the Yu Dynasty, the power of the Yu Dynasty is beyond doubt.

And for every state or county chosen by Emperor Yu, the ghosts and gods of that state will become the subjects of that Emperor Yu, and all the people will worship this Emperor Yu and offer incense to him in the underworld.

The mausoleum of the previous Emperor Yu, Emperor Ling, was built in Ling'an Prefecture next to Lingyou Prefecture. This is also the origin of Yinling City in the underworld where Emperor Ling lived.

The burial site chosen by Emperor Yu and Emperor Xian of this generation was Xian'an Prefecture.

Emperor Xian had already chosen his successor. According to the system of the Yu Dynasty, the important officials of the Yu Dynasty would soon prepare ceremonies for him, with the gods and ghosts praying for him. He would then enter the royal tomb in Xian'an Prefecture and enter the underworld with his ministers and guards.

But Emperor Xian suddenly interrupted this plan, and the next generation Emperor Yu could only continue to wait.

Emperor Xian did not interrupt his journey without any reason. The Yu Dynasty was the dynasty of ghosts and gods, with heavy sacrifices and worship.

Almost every year, Emperor Xian would solemnly offer sacrifices to the underworld and worship his ancestors. This was also an important activity in the Yu Dynasty. There was a small sacrifice every year and a big sacrifice every sixty years. The Yu emperors of each generation would also hold a grand sacrifice at the beginning of their reign and when they entered the underworld.

The purpose is to use the whole country's strength to provide incense and offerings for the ghost emperors in the underworld to practice.

Although the entire Yu Dynasty was a human dynasty, it served the ghosts and gods in the underworld.

All the actions of the Yu Emperors, including the noble families of the Yu Dynasty, the monks, and all the living people, were done for the purpose of entering the underworld after death.

At this time, the contemporary Emperor Yu and Emperor Xian were in a grand palace in the royal palace. The tall palace door was closed, making the palace dark.

Faint candle flames flickered, bronze bells jingled, and banners fluttered. In this temple, a set of crown and robes was enshrined.

The solemn crown and robes stood deep in the temple, receiving incense and offerings day and night, and people worshipping them at all seasons, just as they had been when he was alive.

This is the crown and robes of Emperor Zhuang of the Yu Dynasty. The Yu emperors of all generations not only had their own prefectures and counties, but also had a palace specially belonging to the emperor in the royal palace for him to communicate with his descendants.

Originally, Emperor Xian should have gone to Emperor Ling's palace to worship, but Emperor Ling died.

Completely dead.

Lingdi's royal city in the underworld was razed to the ground, Lingdi himself was reduced to ashes, and even his mausoleum on earth collapsed.

Not only Emperor Ling, that day, five royal tombs collapsed one after another across the entire Yu Dynasty, indicating that the five ghost emperors of the Yu Dynasty no longer existed.

The shock that Emperor Xian received that day was unimaginable.

This is also the reason why Emperor Xian was reluctant to enter the underworld.

Although Emperor Xian didn't want to admit it, he knew in his heart that he was afraid.

Emperor Xian was afraid of the true immortal who appeared in Lingyouzhou. He was afraid that once he entered the underworld, Jiang Sheng would chase him in and stab him with a sword.

The gap between immortals and ghosts is so huge. It is so huge that as long as Jiang Sheng is in the human world, almost anyone who comes up from the underworld will die. It is so huge that even if Jiang Sheng goes to the underworld, five or six ghost emperors combined cannot stop him.

Such a huge gap is like the gap between heaven and earth. The gods live high in the sky, while ghosts and gods can only live in the underworld. The difference in strength between the two sides constitutes this huge and insurmountable chasm.

In Emperor Zhuang's palace, under Emperor Xian's crown, one could not see his expression clearly, only the sound of his breathing could be heard.

Emperor Xian worshipped with utmost solemnity, observing etiquette in every move without any criticism.

Suddenly, a hoarse voice came from the Emperor Zhuang's robes and clothes: "You are scared."

Emperor Xian said nothing, but continued to burn incense and offer sacrifices according to etiquette.

"You are afraid that you will die after entering the Netherworld."

"You are afraid of Ling Youzhou, so you turn a blind eye to all his actions in the human world, even if it means sacrificing the incense of all of us and the prestige accumulated by my Yu Dynasty for nearly 90,000 years."

Emperor Zhuang's voice kept reaching Emperor Xian's ears. Emperor Xian completed the offering methodically, and then slowly stood up: "I am afraid, but you, aren't you afraid?"

"Or, are our ancestors in the underworld really not afraid?"

"It is said that we are the emperors of the human world and the ghost emperors of the netherworld. In the human world, we rule over billions of lives. After death, we are ghost emperors as well, ruling the netherworld with all our might. The whole world belongs to us."

“So our ancestors were not afraid of death, and instead entered the netherworld and did not die.”

"The human world is short, the netherworld is long. After entering the netherworld, you can still rule over a region, still enjoy yourself, and still receive offerings from the human world."

"But now, ghosts and gods are not immortal."

After Emperor Xian finished speaking, he looked quietly at Emperor Zhuang's crown and robes. There was no awe in his eyes, only dead indifference.

"I will continue to worship my ancestors, but I want to find a new way out for my descendants." (End of this chapter)
