No taboos in the world

Chapter 515: Fengdu is in the right place, and the earth grants spiritual treasures

"If you hadn't personally intervened, I would still be a mortal in the human world, going through trials and tribulations to attain enlightenment. Of course, there's nothing wrong with being a mortal, but being a Golden Immortal means more to me!"

As the old saying goes, if you want to be respected in front of others, you have to suffer behind their backs.

But how can massaging Empress Pingxin's legs be considered a punishment?

He wanted to massage Empress Pingxin's feet and give her a pedicure or something...

"Tsk, you are good at talking, it's worth my quarrel with that woman for you."

A woman quarreled with another woman over a man.

Hong Chen was so moved at the thought that tears started to flow from the corners of his mouth.

"Your Highness has been very kind to me, and I will certainly keep it in mind."

Empress Pingxin rolled her eyes at him, opened her lips slightly, swallowed a grape, and said, "You probably don't come here for no reason. I'm in a good mood now, so go ahead and tell me. But I can't promise to agree."

Hong Chen smiled and said, "My Lady, when I came here just now, I passed through the Ghost Gate, saw the Yellow Spring River, walked across the Naihe Bridge, saw the Three Lives Stone, and visited the ten Yama Palaces and the Eighteen Layers of Hell. I found that the Yin gods in the underworld are really much busier than the gods in heaven."

"Humph, that's natural. The underworld receives souls, examines the merits and deeds of the previous life, judges the sins of the previous life, and judges the six reincarnations. All of these things must be done carefully. When the Three Realms flourished, there were many living beings, and the underworld was busy; when the Three Realms declined, there were many dead, and the underworld was also busy. Since the day the underworld was established, it has been impossible for it to be idle. If it were idle, it would mean that the Three Realms are not far from destruction."

Hong Chen nodded: "Your Majesty is right. The underworld is indeed hard." Pursing his lips, he said as if he had suddenly had an idea: "The underworld is so busy that the order of the three realms can be achieved. As a god, I really can't bear to stand by and watch. Besides, Your Majesty has helped me more than once before. If Your Majesty doesn't abandon me, I am willing to create an avatar to serve the underworld."

As soon as these words were spoken, Hong Chen lowered his head slightly and waited for Empress Pingxin's decision.

But to his surprise, he didn't hear a response for a long time.

He raised his eyes slightly and saw her looking at him with a smile.

"Is this why you came to see me?"

Hong Chen said shyly: "I am sorry to have made you laugh, Madam."

"Haha, it's a little funny, but it's not impossible."

Hong Chen pretended to be delighted: "Thank you, Madam..."

"Hey, don't thank me yet, I also have conditions."

"My dear, it doesn't matter."

Empress Pingxin suddenly sat up straight.

Hong Chen suddenly realized that things might not be normal.

"Well, I want you to promise me that if the time is right in the future, you must do something for me unconditionally. You can also rest assured that this matter will not affect your relatives and friends, will not violate your Tao heart, and will not harm your Tao path. It is just slightly likely to make a few enemies. But these enemies are also my enemies, and I will do my best to protect you."

After hearing this, Hong Chen's heart immediately settled down and he nodded immediately: "I agree!"

Empress Pingxin was stunned: "Do you really agree?"

"Your Majesty has said it so straightforwardly and concisely, what else do I need to think about? Even if I didn't make this request today, if Your Majesty needed my help, I would do my best to help."

"Okay! I wasn't wrong about you!"

Empress Pingxin's almond-shaped eyes suddenly lit up, and the whole palace seemed to become brighter in an instant.

"You are a disciple of a saint and also the emperor of heaven. When you come to the underworld, your status cannot be low, otherwise wouldn't I be despising myself?"

As she spoke, she stretched out two slender green fingers.

"You have two choices. The first one is that I used the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk to help you realize the truth and break through to the Golden Immortal. You also have an acquired treasure, the Reincarnation Disk, and have mastered a great deal of the great way of reincarnation. Therefore, I will appoint you as the Six Paths of Reincarnation Prison Emperor, and you will become the incarnation to sit in the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and manage the souls of the three realms, reward the good and punish the evil, and arrest the evildoers."

Having said this, she paused and waited for Hong Chen to think.

After a while, Hong Chen figured out the pros and cons of this position and asked, "May I ask, Madam, what about the second one?"

"The second one is naturally better than the first one, but I'm afraid you might have reservations and not dare to accept my order." After a pause, she looked up, sneered, and said, "Do you know that the three realms of heaven, earth, and man are actually equal?"

Hong Chen nodded: "I know."

"Okay, the supreme leader of the Heavenly Court is Heavenly Emperor Haotian, so who is the supreme leader of the Underworld?"

Hong Chen said without hesitation: "Of course it's you, Madam... Ouch!"

Pingxin knocked him on the head and scolded him, "It's not me, say it again."

Hong Chen rubbed his forehead and quickly said, "Is it the Emperor of Fengdu?"

"Of course!"

Pingxin laughed and said, "The Heaven Court is the ruler of the three realms, and has merged the position of Fengdu Emperor with Ziwei Emperor. But although mortals have some virtues when they are alive, filial piety is the foundation. Is there no soul of filial sons and good people in the underworld? So it can't be said to be so earth-shattering. The gods are conferred in the Heaven Court, what does it have to do with the underworld? Therefore, the position of Fengdu Emperor is still vacant."

Hong Chen also understood the implication.

Taking this position would mean facing off against Emperor Ziwei head-on, and it could also be said to be indirectly destroying Heaven's plan for the underworld.

If he were the Emperor of Fengdu, his rank would naturally be much higher than that of the Emperor of Xuanling in Heaven.

At that time, he would not be the Emperor of Heaven and the Emperor of Hell, but the other way around, he would be the Emperor of Hell Fengdu and the Emperor of Heaven. To put it bluntly, some people might say that this was a betrayal of Heaven.

But so what?
He was not promoted because he swore allegiance to Haotian, but was forcibly promoted to the Emperor of Heaven because of his identity as Nuwa's disciple.

In other words, it was not that he had to rely on the Heavenly Court, but that the Heavenly Court relied on his identity to further demonstrate its legitimacy, and Haotian was also generous in rewarding him because of his background.

Since no one owes anything, how can there be any talk of betrayal?
Again.

Those subordinates in the Heavenly Palace had long said that Emperor Ziwei was ill, and now they have seized the power to govern Fengdu from him. Doesn't that just suit the wishes of those military advisors?
"Thanks to your kindness, I am willing to take on this important task."

I still say: There is nothing wrong with Emperor Xuanling of Heaven, but Emperor Fengdu of the Underworld has a much broader horizon for me!

"it is good."

As soon as one word was uttered, the three realms shook.

The underworld is particularly prominent.

Unusual nine-color brilliance surged from every corner of the underworld, and the space was filled with joy of celebration. All the negative auras such as grievances and resentments that had accumulated over the years also evaporated and dissipated in the authentic brilliance and celebration, and countless wronged souls in the three realms were freed.

This is far more direct, rapid and fierce than any Taoist or Buddhist scriptures.

Countless streams of light were drawn out from every corner of the underworld and gathered towards where Hong Chen was.

In a flash, his entire body was enveloped by strong light.

At this moment, countless gazes from the three realms and even the chaos came over.

Empress Pingxin stretched out her right hand, and as her five fingers moved, the flowing lights also underwent mysterious and inexplicable changes.

After a long time, the light faded.

He wore a black crown with twelve tassels and colorful beads. The dark, wide, exquisite and complicated crown was solemn and dignified, and the looming face and eyes added a lot of mysterious meaning.

At this moment, the way Empress Pingxin looked at him was like an old mother who had worked hard to raise a child and now sees her child finally become a successful person. This made Hong Chen feel like a thorn in his back and a fishbone stuck in his throat.

A large seal condensed in front of him: the Seal of Emperor Xuanling.

A magical mirror is suspended above the head: the Xuanling Samsara Mirror.

A black banner appeared at his side: the Xuanling Beiyin Banner.

Fengdu Emperor was the name originally decided by the underworld, but Niangniang Pingxin used her saintly authority to change the word Fengdu into Xuanling.

This is not in reference to heaven.

Hong Chen once practiced in Shaolin Temple under the name "Xuan Chen", and also practiced in the Shangqing Sect of Maoshan under the name "Ling Chen". Later, he combined "Xuan" and "Ling" to form the name "Xuan Ling".

This is the origin of the four words "Xuan Zhen Ling Ying" in the title of the emperor conferred by the Heavenly Court and the origin of the fact that he is now called "Xuan Ling Emperor".

The three magical weapons bestowed by the underground are all top-grade innate spiritual treasures, just like the Red Dust Sword, each with forty-six restrictions.

If he was not in the public eye at this moment and had not needed to keep the twelve tassels of the Pingtian crown steady, he would probably have laughed out loud towards the sky.

Who could have imagined that an emperor could have such a treasure? !
If I had known this earlier, any hesitation for a moment would be disrespectful to the top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

These three magical treasures must have been born in ancient times, but they have never been born because no one has been able to take the throne of the King of Fengdu.

"If you have seen enough, please look away. If you are interested in him, let your juniors or look for him yourself in the future."

When Empress Pingxin spoke, Hong Chen immediately felt the dense gazes quickly retreat.

I just don’t know if Master Nuwa is in seclusion. She didn’t even look at me despite all the commotion.

He bowed his back and raised his arms to salute: "Thank you, Lady Pingxin!"

"You're welcome. Since you are now the supreme ruler of the underworld, you will naturally be responsible for all the affairs of the underworld. If you do a bad job, the underworld will deprive you of your honorable position."

"I will keep the teachings of my elders in mind!"

"Bring me your Samsara disk."

Hong Chen did as he was told, and saw Niangniang Pingxin summon the acquired treasure Samsara Disk and the innate top-grade spiritual treasure Xuanling Samsara Mirror to her front. She clasped her hands together, and the two spiritual treasures approached each other, and the reincarnation paths contained in each other immediately resonated.

A ball of black flame suddenly ignited and enveloped both of them.

Perhaps Empress Pingxin was born in a witch clan and therefore was not good at refining weapons, but these two magic weapons are both named after reincarnation. In the Three Realms, who can surpass her in the way of reincarnation?

moment.

The black flames disappeared, leaving only a mysterious spirit reincarnation mirror inside.

Empress Pingxin returned the mirror, yawned, and said, "Well, now that everything is done, you should go and take up your post as soon as possible. I don't care whether you leave behind your clone or your real body, but the underworld must not be in chaos, otherwise I will only cause trouble for you."

"Junior, please obey!"
