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

Chapter 202 Obtaining the Dao Fruit of the Avenue of Death!

Human territory.

After the underworld was withdrawn, Emperor Shun ordered the human race to release river lanterns, light bonfires, and offer sacrifices to the earthly gods and ghosts.

This is to drive away evil spirits and pray for a smooth and peaceful second half of the year, a good harvest, and prosperity for people and livestock.

The human race did not dare to slack off on Emperor Shun's order and carried it out immediately.

Especially after experiencing the Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts, it proved the power of the underworld, the blessing of the earth immortals, and how correct the policies made by Emperor Shun over the years were.

The human race will have no doubts about Emperor Shun's orders, or the power of the underworld and the earthly immortals.

After this incident, Emperor Shun's prestige among the human race increased greatly, and he gained more support and loyalty from the human race.

Emperor Shun also had an idea about how to bury the humans who died in the Night Parade of Ten Thousand Ghosts.

He followed Youchao's philosophy, advocated burial, and used burial as a method to handle funeral affairs.

On this basis, he improved the system of funeral ceremonies.

The method of burying corpses in coffins was proposed, and the concept of filial piety and corresponding rules such as wearing sackcloth and mourning for three years were promoted.

They also created musical instruments such as suona to assist in burials, enrich funeral culture, and further deepen the connection between the underworld and the human race.

Most human beings support this. In their opinion, nothing is more important than life and death.

As for those who are devoted to the Way of Heaven, even if they feel a little dissatisfied.

It is believed that when it comes to funeral matters, one should not only mention the underworld, but also set up the heavenly throne.

But they are not people with dementia, and in the end they did not do anything extreme.

……

Guixu, a Taoist temple hidden in the clouds.

After the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons ended, the tunnel bestowed a huge amount of merit as a reward for the Netherworld's actions.

About 30% of the merits went to the ghost soldiers who participated in this operation, which greatly improved their cultivation.

About 20% of the merits go to the earthly immortals.

The remaining five percent of merit fell on the Hundred Ghosts Picture and the Nine Nether Ghost Mother.

Under Huang Long's special arrangement, the title of the Lord of the Underworld, the Emperor of Fengdu, became well known to all living beings in the prehistoric world.

In the many temples of the prehistoric land, the originally formless statues have all turned into the image of the Nine Nether Ghost Mother.

The return of the Lord of the Underworld, Emperor Fengdu, has greatly improved the system of the underworld.

As the lord of the underworld and the Emperor of Fengdu, the Nine Nether Ghost Mother naturally reaped huge rewards.

After acquiring these merits, her soul and body became completely stabilized, her cultivation level was raised to the late stage of Daluo Jinxian, and her true spirit was even restored a little.

The Hundred Demons Picture also plays an important role in this Night Parade of the Hundred Demons.

The Nine Netherworld Ghost Mother held a map of a hundred ghosts and traveled across the ancient world, recording all kinds of ghosts.

It is also somewhat connected with the luck of the underworld, becoming a top-grade spiritual treasure with innate merit.

It is precisely because the Hundred Ghosts Picture is connected to the luck of the underworld that the Nine Nether Ghost Mother is able to reach the early stage of Daluo Golden Immortal.

Relying on the authority to control ghosts and gods, as well as the Nine Nether Soul-Calming Umbrella, he easily suppressed the Mangshan Ghost King, who had the cultivation level of a quasi-saint.

Now that the Hundred Ghosts Diagram is more powerful, the strength that the Nine Nether Ghost Mother can exert is also becoming more powerful.

Moreover, the Hundred Ghosts Picture will become a treasure of the underworld in the future. Every time the Hundred Ghosts parade at night, their power will increase a bit.

As long as time is enough, the underworld will gain more and more power in the prehistoric world.

Perhaps one day in the future, the Hundred Ghosts Picture in the underworld will be able to exert power that is no less powerful than that of an innate treasure.

At that time, even if the Nine Nether Ghost Mother's cultivation had not improved much, the title of the Lord of the Underworld would be well deserved.

Logically speaking, as the leader of all this, Huang Long should be able to monopolize at least two levels of rules.

However, even after all the merits were bestowed upon Huang Long, not a single bit of it fell on him, which puzzled the high-ranking officials of the underworld, such as the Nine Nether Ghost Mother.

He is genuine and fair, and he gets as much merit as he deserves. How could there be any bias?
But soon, they thought of a possibility and a look of joy appeared on their faces.

The underground is truly impartial and will not diminish anyone’s merits.

But what if someone manages to interfere with the tunnel and I have to give up all these merits?

The total amount of merit is limited. If someone gives it up on his own, the merit that others can gain will naturally become more.

For Huang Long at this level, even if he obtained two levels of merit, it would not have much effect.

However, if these two merits were bestowed upon other living beings in the underworld, the benefits would be different.

Thinking of this, all the beings in the underworld thought of a possibility.

That is, the current Huanglong can interfere with the operation of the tunnel to some extent.

No matter whether it is a saint of the Heavenly Way or a saint of the Earthly Way, no one can interfere with the operation of the Heavenly Way and the Earthly Way.

Before this, the only person in the prehistoric world who could interfere with the operation of the heaven was Hongjun.

And today, Huang Long showed the same thing.

Even if it means just giving up the merits that belong to you, it is also an important step from nothing to something.

Besides, everyone in the prehistoric world knows about Huang Long's steady character.

Everyone knows that what Huang Long shows is just what he wants you to see, and who knows how much influence he has on the underground world.

Don't think that he is just showing that he can give up merits.

Who knows, one day he will become like Hongjun, merging the Tao and the earth!
Huang Long had some guesses about what the creatures in the underworld were thinking, but he didn't take it to heart.

Although Huang Long voluntarily gave up these unnecessary merits, it does not mean that he did not gain any benefits.

He experienced the night parade of a hundred ghosts and the return of the ghost king of the underworld.

The underworld has an unshakable position in the hearts of all living beings in the prehistoric world, and all living beings in the prehistoric world feel awe towards the creatures in the underworld.

The fortune of the underworld was thus enhanced, and the authority of the underworld increased significantly.

As an underground saint, Huang Long can benefit from the improvement of the underground and the increase of power.

Huang Long's cultivation was thus improved, and his combat power in the prehistoric world became stronger.

From now on, even if it is the most powerful saint of heaven, Taiqing Daode Tianzun, holding the Pangu Banner and carrying the Tai Chi diagram, Huang Long will be no match for him in the underworld.

However, for Huang Long, the reminder of combat power was just incidental. What really satisfied him was...

As the authority of the underground channel increased, the obstacles he encountered when comprehending the Great Dao became fewer, and he was able to comprehend the Great Dao more easily.

Although he did not have the Great Dao Jade Disc, he did not let the powerful people in the prehistoric world owe him any cause and effect.

However, the increase in underground power still provided him with many conveniences.

In addition, there is the assistance of the Enlightenment Source Liquid in comprehending the great Dao, as well as the help provided by the Chaos Bell and the Innate Gourd Vine.

Even though his efficiency in enlightenment was far inferior to Hongjun's, he already had a huge lead over the other Heavenly Dao saints.

Especially during the period when the authority of the underground world has just been enhanced, the impact on the underground saints is even greater.

Then, Huang Long sent out several messages, telling Minghe and others what Emperor Shun needed to pay attention to next.

He then began to retreat, concentrating on comprehending the great truth and striving to make further progress.

……

You Yu State.

After experiencing the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons, Emperor Shun's prestige increased even more.

Many of his ideas and policies have been recognized, accepted and promoted by many high-level human leaders.

Among them, the most core concept is moral governance.

There are different demands in different periods. Each generation of human leaders is born with a mission, and their ideas on governing the world change with the times and are different.

During the period of Fuxi and Shennong, the human race focused on recuperation and accumulating strength in order to build up their power to compete for the dominant position in heaven and earth.

During the Xuanyuan and Zhuanxu periods, the human race mainly engaged in external wars and unified various tribes in order to compete for the position of protagonist of heaven and earth.

During the reigns of Emperor Yao and Emperor Shun, humanity focused on digesting what they had gained and resolving hidden dangers in order to consolidate its position as the protagonist of the universe.

As the saying goes, starting a business is difficult, but maintaining a business is even more difficult!

In a sense, the burdens on Emperor Yao and Emperor Shun were no lighter than those on the Three Sovereigns. But fortunately, they all showed extraordinary talents and led the human race in a good direction.

Now, the human race has truly entered the era of Emperor Shun, and has begun to understand etiquette and morality, gradually moving away from the barbaric era of eating raw meat and drinking blood.

Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle.

Thousands of years passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Haotian reincarnated hundreds of times, and the human race prospered under the rule of Emperor Shun, showing signs of prosperity.

He improved the laws, checked for loopholes and filled in the gaps, so that the human race had a truly unified system of laws.

People acted more orderly and orderly, chaos no longer occurred, and humans began to measure themselves with civilization and morality.

Later, Emperor Shun broke the old constraints abandoned by Emperor Yao and used the Eight Kai and Eight Yuan to govern the world.

We select the virtuous and capable and employ them according to their talents. As long as they have no problems with their character, those with outstanding talents will be given important positions.

Talents will not be buried because of the mistakes made by their fathers and ancestors, and many sinners of the younger generation will be given the opportunity to shine.

In foreign affairs, Emperor Shun chose to be friendly with his neighbors.

Because of the conquests of Xuanyuan and Zhuanxu, the surrounding races were very wary of the human race, and even hostile.

Even during the reign of Emperor Yao, relations eased somewhat.

However, as the human race grows stronger, and with the lessons learned from the white people, the fire-hating people, the feathered people and other previous races, most races still dare not have too much contact with the human race.

Until they experienced the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons, although they did not take Emperor Shun's prior warning seriously.

However, Emperor Shun's action still reduced their losses.

Facts have proved that Emperor Shun had good intentions towards them.

If not for this, the human race could have taken advantage of the Night Parade of the Hundred Demons to inflict heavy damage on these races and eventually annex them in one fell swoop.

After realizing this, the surrounding races lowered their guard against humans and tried to interact with them.

Emperor Shun seized the opportunity to build many markets in the human border areas and establish trade relations with surrounding ethnic groups.

Trade and exchange resources within the human race with those of other races to make full use of what they have.

Over time, they gradually let down their guard and truly interacted with humans.

Even many weaker races, after witnessing the strength and friendliness of humans, expressed their submission to humans and sought shelter after careful consideration by their elders.

During this period, Emperor Shun also encountered some difficulties and obstacles.

Fortunately, the human race now has a strong foundation and the support of the Guixu lineage, so in the end these obstacles were successfully resolved.

As time goes by, the relationship between the underworld, heaven and human beings becomes closer and closer.

Every year on July 15th, the gates of hell are opened, recreating the scene of hundreds of ghosts parading at night.

It was only after the first experience that the human race became more prepared, and subsequent Night Parades of the Hundred Demons became more mild, without causing too many casualties.

Later, the Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts evolved into the underworld's inspection of the wilderness, where thousands of ghosts returned to their clans to enjoy offerings and incense, and to take a look at the younger generations of the clan.

And, in addition to the City God, there were also discussions with the Nine Nether Ghost Mother, the Styx, the Mirage Dragon, and Zhen Yuanzi.

Mountain gods, land gods and other earthly gods also possess some abilities to see the dark world.

The land god and the mountain god can cooperate with the city god to assist the ghost catcher, capture wandering ghosts and accumulate merits.

The various functions of the underworld and the earthly immortals gradually merged into one, and their fortunes increased day by day.

The Heavenly Court was equally unwilling to be outdone and used a variety of tactics.

Although Haotian's original body is constantly reincarnated, he still leaves behind a kind corpse to preside over the affairs of heaven.

Coupled with the efficacy of five-needle pine, it has spawned countless golden immortals, mysterious immortals and true immortals.

Even if an immortal is born, his foundation will be unstable and his strength cannot be compared with that of immortals at the same level. It will take a long time of sedimentation to consolidate his cultivation.

However, with so many immortals, the strength of Heaven has still greatly increased. With more people to maintain the operation of Heaven, the fortune of Heaven has also increased accordingly.

……

Time flies by.

Emperor Shun had been on the throne for six thousand years, and all affairs had become relatively complete.

The only difficult problem is flooding, which has become the biggest obstacle to human development.

For this reason, Emperor Shun appointed the great sage Gun, hoping that he could control the flood and move the Tianshan Mountain for the human race.

at the same time.

Guixu, a Taoist temple hidden in the clouds.

Huang Long sat cross-legged, a mysterious Taoist aura emanating from his entire body, and all kinds of top avenues manifested themselves.

Above the auspicious clouds, the images of Tao are even more brilliant.

The three flowers sway and emit clear light.

Space turns into an infinite world, and time turns into a long river that runs through the infinite world, explaining the mystery of time and space.

The sun is like the big sun, and the moon is like the bright moon, interpreting the changes of yin and yang.

Gold, wood, water, fire and earth are mutually generated and restrained, evolving the mystery of the innate five elements.

Life turns into a big tree, releasing infinite vitality and nurturing all living things in the world.

Death turned into boundless death energy, which eventually gathered into a ball and appeared in a Taoist flower, gradually condensing into a black fruit.

Rumble——!
The moment the fruit took shape, the entire prehistoric world was shaken, and boundless innate death energy filled the air.

All of a sudden.

In the ancient times, the sun and the moon were dim, and the air was filled with death, as if the world was about to end.

But the next moment.

All these strange visions disappeared without a trace, as if everything just now was an illusion.

Seeing that there was no loss, the creatures in the ancient world did not pay too much attention to this matter.

This kind of thing is obviously not something they can participate in, so what can they do even if they know about it?

Even the Golden Immortal was confused by what had just happened and had no idea what was going on.

Only a few Golden Immortals and Quasi-saints knew what had just happened.

"Someone has obtained the Dao Fruit of the Avenue of Death?!!!"

They knew that only when one had mastered the Avenue of Death completely would such a scene appear.

Everyone who knew about this turned their eyes towards the earth.

Looking at the entire prehistoric world, there is only one person who can obtain the Dao Fruit of the Great Dao of Death, and that is——

Yellow dragon!

Even the Heavenly Dao Saint had a serious expression, knowing that Huang Long's cultivation had reached a higher level, making him even more difficult to deal with.

Although they don't know what Huang Long's current cultivation level is, just based on the fact that he has picked the Fruit of Death.

It can also be guessed that his cultivation level is definitely not at the second level of a saint, and it is very likely that he has reached the third level of a saint!
Yunyin Taoist Temple.

Huang Long was quite helpless about such changes. If possible, he would like to keep a low profile.

However, condensing the Dao Fruit of the Great Dao of Death is a matter of great importance and will inevitably cause strange phenomena of the Great Dao.

As long as Huang Long wants to condense the Dao Fruit of the Avenue of Death, this is inevitable.

The Dao Fruit of the Great Dao of Death has a great influence on Huang Long's future practice.

The path he is on is not like that of Hongjun, who only needs to comprehend 70% to 80% of the three thousand great ways in order to master them.

If he wants to attain enlightenment, he needs to reap the fruits of the great Dao.

This path is not any easier than Hongjun's. From some perspectives, it is even more difficult.

Afterwards, Huang Long communicated with the tunnel, understood the situation and changes in the prehistoric world, and then took out the Qiankun Ding.

This was something he borrowed from Nuwa and he would have to return it soon.

In order to maximize profits, he planned to refine a few more innate spiritual treasures during this period.
