Honghuang: I, Huanglong, refine the heavens and do not join the Chan sect

Chapter 156: Blood Sea Enters the Underworld
A thousand years later.

Huang Long left Taiyin Star and took a step forward. He arrived at Guixu and appeared in the Yunyin Taoist Temple.

"what?"

With a glance, he saw Minghe who had been waiting outside Guixu for who knows how long. After calculating with his fingers, his eyes flashed slightly. He didn't expect to have an unexpected gain.

Huang Long waved his sleeves lightly, and the Styx outside Guixu seemed to flash before his eyes, and came to the Yunyin Taoist Temple and appeared in front of Huang Long.

Minghe was slightly stunned, then bowed and saluted:

"I've seen the saint."

"What is the purpose of your visit, fellow Daoist?"

Huang Long nodded and asked knowingly.

Although he had already deduced the purpose of the Styx, the result would be different if he said it and if the Styx took the initiative to propose it.

One is to accept a disciple, the other is to become a disciple, the cause and effect of the two are different.

Minghe showed a look of joy and hurriedly paid homage.

"I, the younger Minghe, am willing to become a disciple of the Saint. I hope the Saint will take me in!"

As a quasi-saint, Minghe naturally knew that Huanglong had already figured out the purpose of his coming here.

Since Huang Long allowed him to enter the Yunyin Taoist Temple, it means that this matter has potential.

"Okay, from today on, you will be my fifth disciple."

Huang Long smiled slightly and tapped Minghe's head.

After a simple apprenticeship, Huang Long officially accepted Minghe as his disciple.

"You have a connection with the Underworld. If you plan properly, you will hopefully become an Underworld Saint in the future."

Huang Long's tone was calm, but to Minghe's ears it was like a bolt from the blue, and it took him a long time to recover.

Although there is still a big gap between the underground way and the heavenly way nowadays, the saints of the underground way need to be in the underworld before they can fight with the saints of the heavenly way.

But that's also a saint, isn't it?
More importantly, who in the prehistoric world does not know that under Huang Long’s plan, the power of the underground tunnel in the prehistoric world is increasing day by day.

Given time, perhaps the power of the underworld will be able to control the operation of the vast earth.

At that time, the strength of the earthly saints in the prehistoric times would be no worse than that of the heavenly saints, and might even be a little stronger.

Now that Minghe heard from Huanglong that he had the hope of becoming a genuine saint, how could he not be excited?
"I hope Master can teach me!"

Minghe bowed with both hands and paid homage to Huanglong.

"Don't be anxious. The time is not yet ripe. I will pave the way for you, but how far you can go depends on your own luck."

Huang Long flicked his sleeves lightly, and a breeze came, lifting up the Styx.

"There is an important position vacant in the Netherworld. Are you willing to take on this important task?"

"Disciple is willing!"

Styx did not ask what the position was or what it entailed to do to hold it.

Huang Long’s previous sentence has already made it clear. He will pave the way forward for you. All you have to do is move forward. Why ask so many questions?

What if I say too much and the secret is leaked? Wouldn't that be like shooting myself in the foot?
Minghe is a quasi-saint after all, how could he not understand this truth?

Huang Long took out a seal, handed it to Minghe, and said in a deep voice:
"From today on, you are the Lord of Mount Tai, the Emperor of Dongyue!"

Rumble——!
As Huang Long finished speaking, the Great Dao sensed it and bestowed a lot of merit upon him, which fell towards Guixu.

About one third of it fell on Huang Long, and the remaining two thirds fell on Minghe.

But before that one third of the merit could fall, Huang Long made some hand gestures and merged the merit into the other two thirds of the merit, and all of them fell on Minghe.

For Huang Long now, merit does not play a big role. If he wants to improve his cultivation and strength, what he needs is to comprehend the great Dao and increase his authority.

The merits gained this time are due to the return of the Lord of Mount Tai. Therefore, it is reasonable and logical to give one's own merits to Minghe, the Lord of Mount Tai. It is not difficult to accomplish this.

As all the merits were accumulated, Minghe's cultivation level improved slightly.

Unfortunately, the merits this time were not much, and Minghe's cultivation was still in the late stage of Quasi-Saint, and there was still a big gap from the perfection of Quasi-Saint.

But no matter what, this is a big gain.

More importantly, Minghe was given the title of Lord of Mount Tai, Emperor Dongyue!
In the power structure of the underworld, in terms of status, apart from Hou Tu, Fengdu Emperor, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Taiyi Rescuer of Sufferings, the Lord of Mount Tai, that is, the Emperor of Dongyue, has the highest status.

In terms of power, the Emperor of Dongyue is both the lord of all mountains and the Emperor of the Underworld, in charge of the mountains, rivers, earth, and the spirits that travel to and from the underworld. He is second only to Houtu and the Emperor of Fengdu.

Mount Tai has an important position in the prehistoric world. According to the original timeline, Mount Tai needs to wait until Mount Buzhou is broken before it appears in the world and becomes the leader of all the prehistoric mountains.

At the same time, Mount Tai is also an important node with the underworld and an important extension of the underworld in the prehistoric world.

As the Emperor of Dongyue, he has the divine power to manage the growth and death of all things and judge the reincarnation of the human world.

If one wants to increase the authority of the underground world in the ancient times, Mount Tai undoubtedly occupies an important position.

This is also the reason why, before the tunnel was created, Huang Long would specially travel around the prehistoric world and obtain the Seal of Ten Thousand Mountains, so that he could wait until the time was ripe.

He personally pardoned and conferred the title on Emperor Dongyue, allowing the authority of the underworld to cover the ancient world more comprehensively and making the authority of the underworld even stronger.

Now Mount Tai has appeared in the world ahead of time and pardoned Minghe as the Great Emperor of Dongyue. When the earth immortals are born in the future and the mountain gods and lands are established, the mountains and rivers of the prehistoric world will all operate according to the tunnels as the main rules!

Today's step may not seem to be a big deal and the merits may not be much, but it is an extremely important step.

Moreover, the underworld today is not the underworld that is suppressed and ruled by the Heavenly Dao in the memories of the time travelers.

As Mount Tai is an important node between the underworld and the human world, Huang Long has no intention of just leaving it alone.

"Don't resist!"

Huang Long pressed on Minghe's shoulder, took a step forward, and arrived above the sea of ​​blood.

Then, he focused his eyes slightly and mobilized the power of the tunnel and the underworld, causing the underworld to manifest here and wrap up the huge sea of ​​blood.

The sea of ​​blood is the main body of the Styx. If he wanted to resist, he could naturally break free from it, but he didn't.

Even though he still didn't know what Huang Long wanted to do, he still listened to Huang Long.

Anyway, Master won’t harm me, so I just need to lie down and be done with it.

Rumble——!
With the tacit consent of the Styx, the entire blood sea began to shake violently, attracting the attention of the great powers of the prehistoric world. But when they looked over, they found that Norda's blood sea had disappeared.

Based on the traces of the tunnel left nearby, they quickly guessed that it was Huang Long who made it, and they felt sad in their hearts.

In the past, they could still see when Huang Long made some moves.

Now, I don’t even have a chance to watch it.

But even though they didn't know what had happened, they still felt that Huang Long had done something extraordinary, which made them even more itchy.

Compared to the curiosity of other powerful people in the prehistoric world, the expression of the Saint of Heaven became more serious.

"Don't be influenced by external things. Being fast for a while doesn't mean you will always be fast."

Hongjun chuckled softly, awakening the six saints of heaven.

As the ancestor of Taoism, he has his own confidence and plans. He firmly believes that the growth of the earth will only make the prehistoric world more perfect and will eventually become the wedding dress of the Heavenly Dao.

However, Huang Long's successive actions also made him feel a lot of pressure, and he had to hurry up and make arrangements.

"Jie Yin, Zhunti..."

……

Huang Long was not aware of the many powerful beings in the prehistoric world and the arrangements made by Hongjun Daozu, and he did not waste his time to pay attention to them.

After he pulled the sea of ​​blood into the underworld, he moved it to the junction of Mount Tai and the underworld.

At the same time, he changed the direction of the Forgetful River, moving its source to the foot of Mount Tai, so that the Forgetful River merged with the Sea of ​​Blood, and the main body of the Styx connected to Mount Tai above and the Forgetful River below, flowing to all parts of the underworld.

Although the original Forgetful River in the Netherworld is also a rare river in the world, it is obviously still quite different from the Sea of ​​Blood.

But now after merging with the sea of ​​blood, not only has the Styx taken root completely in the underworld, but it has also made the River of Forgetfulness even more magical.

The river water turned bright red, and countless wronged souls sank and floated in it.

There are also a large number of Asura tribe members wandering around in the water, managing these wronged souls, or sending them to the Palace of Illuminating Evil to judge the good and evil of these wronged souls.

If they meet the requirements, they will be sent to the Shura Road first, allowing these wronged souls to be reincarnated as Asuras.

The order of the underworld will be more perfect, and the Asura clan will become stronger. Sooner or later, the Asura clan will become a powerful clan in the underworld!
Apart from this, the benefits gained by the Styx are also considerable.

The sea of ​​blood is vast and boundless, and the River of Forgetfulness flows to all parts of the underworld. After the sea of ​​blood and the River of Forgetfulness merged, even if a saint took action personally, he could not kill the River of Forgetfulness.

In the memory of the time traveler, the Taoist priest of the Styx had a saying that the sea of ​​blood would never dry up and the Styx would never die.

And now, the Sea of ​​Blood and the River of Forgetfulness have merged to become an important component of the Netherworld, and have become the Netherworld's Dark River that flows throughout the Netherworld. As long as the Netherworld exists, there is no possibility that the Dark River will wither.

Just based on this point, the Styx possesses the same characteristics as a saint, that is, it can remain indestructible even after countless disasters!
At the same time, Huanglong also set the source of the You River at the foot of Mount Tai, so that there was also a blood-colored river at the foot of Mount Tai in the human world, surrounding Mount Tai.

There are rivers connecting Mount Tai, which make the Youhe River flow backwards from the underworld to the human world, and from the foot of Mount Tai to the top of the mountain.

If you look from a distance, you will find that there are blood-colored rivers on the mountain of Taishan, filled with innate yin energy and innate death energy, and entangled with pure murderous energy.

Even just looking at it from a distance can make people feel scared.

"Thank you for your gift, Master!"

Minghe felt the huge changes in himself. After being stunned for a long time, he paid great respect to Huanglong.

He bowed willingly, without any reluctance.

Just the fact that the Netherworld is immortal and the Styx is undead has been what Styx has been pursuing for many years. From now on, he can communicate with the saints on an equal footing and call them fellow Taoists!

From now on, he will be the Great Emperor Dong Yue, whose body is spread throughout the Netherworld, connecting the human world and the Netherworld!

At the same time, he also understood his future path.

Just like the saint of heaven founded a religion and preached, from now on as long as he implements the authority of the underworld to all parts of the prehistoric world, he will be able to become a saint of earth!
Isn't the ultimate goal of practicing Taoism to become a saint instantly and achieve Hunyuan?
Now that Huang Long has paved the way for him to become a saint, how can he not be excited?

"Get familiar with your new identity. Your future achievements will depend on your own luck."

Huang Long smiled slightly, patted Minghe on the shoulder, and returned to the Yunyin Taoist Temple.

If nothing unexpected happens, Minghe's becoming a saint is a foregone conclusion.

Even if Huang Long has no other plans, Minghe only needs to follow the steps and spend tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years to accumulate merits and become a genuine saint.

Minghe plus Chang Xi, that's enough to guarantee the fighting power of two saints... No... That's not right, it's not just two.

Huang Long looked towards the direction of the garden, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

The Netherworld, the Six Paths of Reincarnation and the Underworld are all part of the underground tunnel, but the underground tunnel is not just composed of the Netherworld, the Six Paths of Reincarnation and the Underworld.

The tunnel embraces everything, but it does not mean that only death belongs to the tunnel. Life and reproduction are also part of the tunnel.

The emergence of the underworld has given that tunnel the authority over death and reincarnation, but the authority over life and reproduction has not yet been restored.

Huang Long's focus in the future will be on these two things. He cannot intervene in reproduction for the time being, but he started preparing for life a long time ago.

The Queen Mother of the West is the key to accomplishing this task. The Queen Mother of the West's background and cultivation are no worse than those of the Styx, and she followed him earlier.

The reason why Huang Long did not plan opportunities for Queen Mother of the West to become a saint in establishing the underworld and other matters was because her path to becoming a saint was not in the underworld, but in the human world.

The path she wants to take is the authentic authority of life.

But if you want to embark on this path, you need one important thing, that is, the best innate spiritual roots.

Among all things in the ancient world, the vitality of spiritual roots is often more vigorous than that of other similar spiritual objects and creatures.

As the ultimate of spiritual roots, the top-grade innate spiritual roots naturally contain the strongest vitality.

The reason why a leaf or a fruit of the best innate spiritual roots can bring great benefits to the Golden Immortal.

In addition to the rich Taoist charm contained in these spiritual roots, they are also closely related to the powerful vitality they contain.

Without such vitality, where would the magic power come from after the powerful person ate the spiritual fruit, and how did he improve his cultivation?
However, relying solely on one top-grade innate spiritual root is obviously not enough for a quasi-saint to become a saint. If one wants to become a saint, more top-grade innate spiritual roots are needed.

If one wants to become a saint with a spiritual root, then the requirements are very high. Even if it is a Xiantian Renshui Peach Tree that has grown for hundreds of thousands of years, it will not work. At least...

Huang Long sat on the stone bench and tapped the table lightly, putting the matter aside for the time being.

Being able to help the Queen Mother of the West find a path to sainthood is already extremely difficult, and how could it be accomplished overnight?

However, in order to increase the Queen Mother of the West's hope of becoming a saint, she can be allowed to gain more insights into the great path of life. Coincidentally, there is something suitable for her to do next.
