No taboos in the world

Chapter 517: Ziwei changes, Wukong borrows treasure
"It's unreasonable! It's absolutely unreasonable!"

Naturally, Emperor Ziwei would not be completely unfamiliar with Hong Chen.

In fact, ever since Hong Chen's identity was exposed, if we were to say who in the Three Realms is the person that Ziwei Emperor envies the most, it must not be the Jade Emperor, the nominal master of the Three Realms, but Hong Chen.

A person who has strength, background, a large number of people supporting him, many people surrounding him and showing him courtesy, and countless gods who will spare no effort to flatter and respect him even if it is impossible for the other party to know.

The more people lack something, the more they envy it.

Coincidentally, Hong Chen seemed to have everything that he lacked.

Envy is natural, jealousy is hidden deep in the heart, and hatred is of course inevitable.

He still remembers that when he finally came down to earth to gain some merit, Hong Chen drew his sword from the sky and killed his cow.

Although it doesn't matter to Taurus whether he has it or not.

But by doing this, aren't you showing disrespect to me, the Great Emperor of the Four Heavenly Kings?
What’s even more infuriating is that he actually knows very well in his heart that the other party has every right to ignore him.

Therefore, there is no other way but to swallow this anger.

Last time, he planned to go down to the mortal world again, but was stopped because he was too impatient. Since then, Emperor Ziwei once again retreated to the deep palace. He usually never went out of the main door or the secondary door, and lived an even more reclusive life than the ladies on earth.

He is not stupid, on the contrary he is quite smart, which was already shown when he was still a mortal.

He knew that he was too anxious, but he also knew that the Jie Sect, which was opposed to him, had already abandoned their own Chen Sect, and that the Jade Emperor did not actually pay much attention to him.

This is his chance.

As long as he continues to lie dormant and observes the changes in the three realms, he will always find an opportunity.

After all, he will not die now unless the Heaven falls and the List of Gods is destroyed.

But in such a catastrophe, does it matter whether he has a chance or not?

however.

He never expected that even though he had curled up like this, the enemy's hammer still hit him on the forehead mercilessly.

And it was struck down in front of the entire Three Realms.

He would never forget the excitement and excitement he felt when he first received the title of Purple Star Emperor and sensed his power.

He governs all the stars above, controls all things in the middle, and governs Fengdu below. He is the lord of all the stars in the sky.

He will also never forget that when he was about to show his skills in the Heavenly Palace, he suddenly found that he was actually no better than a puppet.

Rule over all the stars?

Where did you put the Jiejiao Immortal?

Control all things?

Do you really know what magic is?
Go down to govern Fengdu?

It's so funny. Even the Heaven doesn't dare to interfere directly with the Underworld. Why don't you punish one and let me see?
The so-called Lord of the Stars is a joke. Dou Mu Yuan Jun is still his mother in terms of status, but she looks down on him as her illegitimate son.

These powers are determined by heaven, so it is naturally difficult for others to usurp them.

But I couldn't stand the fact that they were playing tricks on me.

If he is a puppet, then at least he can get superficial respect.

But the fact is, few people in heaven take him seriously.

The most infuriating thing is: he didn’t even dare to do anything to the other party.

Since the end of the Conferred God Ceremony until now, looking at all the immortals in heaven, how many of them do not belong to the lineage of saints?
Fortunately, after a long time, Emperor Ziwei saw the reality clearly, slowly accepted his fate, and finally chose a dormant path.

Although he was unable to actually grasp the power, at least he still occupied the title set by the Heavenly Dao.

Having witnessed and even experienced personally the rise and fall of dynasties on earth, he felt that the Heavenly Palace might not be immune to major changes in the future. Perhaps at that time, he would be able to restore the Heavenly Palace like his incarnation Liu Xiu after he came down to earth.

But today.

Someone also stole one third of his last remaining "legacy".

When the ruler of the underworld, the supreme emperor of the underworld, Xuanling, takes office, the three realms are shaken.

He also clearly felt that part of his authority had been permanently deprived of him in an extremely brutal manner.

This also indirectly caused his strength from the peak Daluo realm bestowed by the Heavenly Dao Godhood to suddenly drop directly to the middle Daluo realm.

This made him extremely angry and at the same time extremely frightened.

In the past, he always thought that his position as a god of heaven would not change. The strength of a peak Daluo Golden Immortal was second only to that of a quasi-saint in the three realms that saints were not allowed to enter. So he always felt that even if he was sidelined or ignored, at least he was safe.

But today, this fantasy was cruelly shattered.

Emperor Xuanling, the lucky man who became a disciple of Saint Nuwa, took away one third of his power, and the Heavenly Dao did not even bring down any punishment on him.

But he didn't dare to curse directly, he could only say "unreasonable" because he was afraid that Nuwa Saint or the Queen Mother of the Underworld would know.

Yes, Emperor Xuanling not only has Saint Nuwa standing behind him, but now that he holds the supreme authority in the underworld, Niangniang Pingxin must also be his backer.

How could he be so lucky?
What worries him even more is that what happened today has already happened. What if someone in the future deprives him of the remaining authority?
What hope did he have?

Not to mention the great dream of "restoring heaven", even being able to stay alive might become a luxury.

Sitting still for a long time.

He opened his eyes and his voice was hoarse.

"no!"

"I can't sit still and wait for death!"

Simply put: he was anxious.
-
Xun Yu, Guo Jia and Jia Xu came to the imperial palace together and asked to see Hong Chen.

Hong Chen prepared a banquet to entertain the three counselors.

Guo Jia drank and smirked: "If you ask me, the most anxious person in the entire Three Realms right now is probably Emperor Ziwei."

Jia Xu nodded and said to Hong Chen: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful. Now that you have brought the Underworld under your command, the creatures of the Three Realms will surely respect and fear you even more. In the long run, you can expect it to be truly equal to the Heavenly Court."

Xun Yu also smiled and complimented, "That's right. Since you are the ruler of the underworld, all the heroes and heroes in the three realms will eventually become your subjects, and you can select and appoint them according to their life stories. Your Majesty's move is to lay an unbreakable foundation for your immortal achievements."

What they said is of course right. If everything goes well, the equality between heaven and hell will indeed become a reality in the future.

But the problem is that the power structure of the three realms is not normal.

Not to mention Hongjun Daozu, who is in harmony with the Way of Heaven, even the Emperor of Heaven, Haotian, would not sit idly by and watch such a situation.

A saint cannot interfere in this kind of fight, otherwise Hongjun will appear.

If the saint doesn't take action, what can Hong Chen use to fight Haotian?

The ultimate innate spiritual treasure?

If the ruler of the underworld has it, why doesn’t the ruler of heaven have it?

Furthermore, even if a conflict really breaks out between the two, will the gods surrounding him really continue to support him?
Impossible. If he were in the other's shoes, Hong Chen would choose to stand on Haotian's side.

This is not only because Haotian's position as Heavenly Emperor was given by Hongjun, but also because Haotian himself has the strength of a quasi-saint, and he has not made many mistakes in the management of Heaven over the countless years.

However, when Hong Chen made such cautious remarks, the three counselors all laughed.

Guo Jia: "Your Majesty, why do you have to belittle yourself? The Emperor of Heaven was able to become the Emperor of Heaven not because of his strength or virtue, but because he was a boy. Your Majesty was a direct descendant of the saint, although he is a generation younger, but isn't this also because your Majesty was born later?"

Xun Yu: "What Fengxiao said is not wrong. As for the foundation, Your Majesty will become a celestial being in the future and become the strongest golden immortal in the Three Realms. How much worse can your talent and understanding be than his? I believe that Your Majesty will be able to catch up with his level in the future. After all... he has already improved to the point where he cannot improve any more, right?"

Jia Xu: "Are kings, princes, generals and ministers of different races?"

Hong Chen was speechless, he just felt that these three people were really brave.

And after they said that, Hong Chen suddenly felt that the position of Heavenly Emperor was not completely hopeless...

Wait, I never thought of becoming the Emperor of Heaven!
Shaking his head, he said, "You three's vision of the distant future is indeed fascinating, but now is not the time to talk about it. Besides, even if it really replaces it, what can we do?"

Under the saints, all are ants.

This is not a metaphor, but the most straightforward statement of the truth.

"You three came here together, I guess you have something important to discuss with me. What plans do you have? You might as well speak frankly."

Having passed this topic, the three extremely smart counselors naturally would not continue to hold on to it.

Xun Yu said, "Your Majesty, after you took the throne of the highest in the underworld, our people discovered that the Purple Star Emperor, who had lived in the deep palace for a long time, suddenly left. Although we dared not get too close to him or follow him, this shows that he is about to make a move."

"We can't let him not move. If he doesn't move, he will just sit there and wait for death." Guo Jia sneered, "If he doesn't move, there will be no chance for him to take advantage of. But if he moves, there will be opportunities everywhere."

Jia Xu smiled and cupped his hands: "Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Hong Chen pursed his lips and suddenly felt some sympathy for Bo Yikao. To be honest, it really wasn't easy for him.

But if I could inherit his estate, I could temporarily suppress my sympathy.

"What plans do you three have?"

The three of them clasped their hands together and said in unison: "Wait and see what happens, and act when the time is right."

Hong Chen smiled and said, "For this reason alone, I'm afraid it's not worth the three of you making a trip."

Guo Jia asked, "I heard that Dou Mu Yuanjun once visited Your Majesty?"

"good."

"The Jiejiao Immortal has a good relationship with Your Majesty?"

"good."

"Your Majesty, please give us a token so that we can make friends with him."

Well, although he didn’t know what the three of them were trying to do, Hong Chen would not doubt their loyalty and ability.

So he stretched out his hand to summon the Shinto incense, and imitated the shape of the Red Dust Sword, shaping it into three palm-sized white swords, which he handed to the three people respectively.

Finally, he looked at the three people's cultivation realms and reminded them, "You are no longer ordinary people. Some things can be done slowly and there is no need to rush. If you have time, you might as well take some time to calm down and practice well. After all, there are still many days to come."

"Thank you for your advice, Your Majesty. We will keep it in mind."

After seeing off the three people, when I turned around, Taibai Jinxing came again.

And as always, he came with gifts.

Taibai Jinxing is Haotian's spokesperson. His action this time shows that Haotian has no objection to Hong Chen's position as the Supreme Emperor of the Underworld.

A piece of knowledge that is not too cold: The Jade Emperor is Haotian, and Haotian is not the Jade Emperor.

After the catastrophe, it has always been the Jade Emperor who is in charge of the Heavenly Palace in public.

As for the Emperor Haotian, who always appeared in a platinum imperial robe, he has not made a public appearance for a long time.

Taibai Jinxing did not stay long after delivering the gift, and judging from his attitude he obviously did not give any hints or reminders, which further proved that Haotian's attitude towards this matter was by no means hostile.

This is enough.

The plan that Hong Chen discussed with the ancestors of the human race in the Fire Cloud Cave did not allow him to have any dirty dealings with the Heavenly Court now.

Taibai Jinxing, on the other hand, became more respectful to Hong Chen.

He is not a snobbish person. He is just used to keeping a low profile in front of the influential figures in the Three Realms and never relies on his status and cultivation.

This is probably something that many immortals in the orthodox teaching cannot learn.

"The Star Lord has come from afar, how can we not treat him well?" Hong Chen didn't care about what he said and just pulled him in to have a meal.

When Taibai Jinxing finally left, the clouds under his feet were shaking.

Fortunately, there is no heavenly rule that prohibits gods from "flying while drunk".

In his spare time, Hong Chen seized the opportunity to refine the two top-grade innate spiritual treasures bestowed by the tunnel.

Perhaps because of his status as the Great Emperor, the ritual and refining of these two top-grade innate spiritual treasures was not difficult, but rather went incredibly smoothly.

The Xuanling Samsara Mirror is a spiritual treasure that was created based on the Great Way of Samsara. Its function is quite similar to the Six Paths of Samsara Disk, an authentic treasure in the underworld.

First, this mirror can directly reflect a person’s past and present life.

Secondly, if facing a living being, one can directly modify the opponent's identity of the six paths of life, such as turning a person into a pig, but this ability is not permanent. The more mana one pays, the longer it will last, and the stronger the opponent, the greater the difficulty. Because it is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, as long as the mana is sufficient, even a quasi-saint will be affected.

Thirdly, if you are facing the soul of a living being after death, you can bypass the numerous procedures of the underworld and directly send the soul into the six reincarnations, easily achieving salvation with one click; at the same time, you can also directly dissolve the soul and imprison the remaining true spirit so that it cannot reincarnate. The imprisoned true spirit can also be directly wiped out by the reincarnation realm, but doing so will damage your virtue.

Finally, all judgments, rewards and punishments in the underworld are realized through this mirror.

Compared with the Xuanling Reincarnation Realm, Hong Chen prefers the Xuanling Beiyin Banner.

First, the Yin Qi in the Beiyin Banner is strong, and waving the Beiyin Banner can release the extremely Yin and cold Beiyin sword Qi. If this sword Qi is virtual, it can beat the enemy's soul and true spirit out of the body; if it is real, it can completely destroy the enemy's body, soul and true spirit.

Second, refining the enemy's body, soul and true spirit can enhance the attack power of the Beiyin Banner, and it can also imprison the enemy's soul or true spirit and drive it at will.

Thirdly, any soul or true spirit will be restrained and weakened under the Beiyin Banner. Those who are not strong enough will be controlled by the person holding the Beiyin Banner as soon as it waves.

Fourth, holding the Beiyin Banner, one can issue orders to all souls, true spirits or Yin gods in the Three Realms, and no one can disobey them.

At last.

Who can resist a magical banner with a cool shape and black air emitting from top to bottom?

Probably the only innate treasure Pangu Banner that can completely surpass it in the Three Realms.

After refining the two spiritual treasures, Hong Chen suddenly wanted to find an opponent to test his hand.

Coincidentally, Sun Wukong came up.

But before Hong Chen could say anything, Sun Wukong started to complain eloquently and asked Hong Chen for help.

"Don't blame me, Old Sun. Those two monsters really had too many treasures in their hands. I used all my tricks, but I was only able to fight them on equal terms. I remember one time when we were drinking, you said you had a lot of powerful magic treasures, but unfortunately you had no place to use them. So, I immediately thought of you."
