No taboos in the world

Chapter 524 Qinghua Emperor, Daoxing Tianzun

Qinghua Changle world.

Dongjimiaoyan Palace.

The layout of this palace is very different from other common palaces. Its internal structure and layout are more like a small wooden house built using local materials in a lush and verdant primeval forest.

"please."

A cup of steaming tea was placed in front of Hong Chen.

The refreshing tea fragrance has already spread, making people salivate at the sight of it.

Hong Chen extended his hand and said with a smile: "Then I won't be polite."

Take a sip from the glass; the taste is elegant yet the aroma seems to penetrate directly into the depths of the soul, relaxing you from the inside out.

Hong Chen drank three sips in succession, put down the teacup, leaned back in the chair, and suddenly he felt more relaxed than ever before.

Since the actions have already shown everything, there is no need to say more about the word "good tea".

Opposite him, the Great Emperor Qinghua of Dongji, dressed in green, had a middle-aged appearance. He was extremely handsome, with an unusually gentle demeanor, except for a fleeting flash of vicissitudes in his eyes occasionally.

He looked quietly at Hong Chen sitting in front of him with an attitude that didn't care about his image at all, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

"There haven't been any visitors to my Dongji Miaoyan Palace for many years," he said softly.

Hong Chen tilted his neck back, not even willing to lift his eyelids, and a voice came out softly from his throat:
"On ordinary days, those miscellaneous gods don't dare to come here."

"I have never prohibited anyone from entering this place. After all, Qinghua Changle Realm is so big."

"Even if a dragon lies motionless, the creatures around it will remain silent."

"Do I look like a dragon to you?"

"The dragon is just a metaphor. If I were to compare you with the current dragon race, it would be an insult to you."

Emperor Qinghua smiled, shook his head and said, "When the dragon clan was at its peak, I was just an insignificant fairy in the prehistoric world. Moreover, when the dragon, phoenix and unicorn clans were fighting, I secretly hid outside the battlefield and secretly watched the appearance of the Ancestral Dragon, the Original Phoenix and the First Unicorn. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I say this, but at that time, even if they just appeared in my eyes, I felt as if the sky had fallen. If I hadn't run fast later, I would have fainted from the shock."

"Hahahahaha..."

Hong Chen laughed out loud, and the exact picture seemed to appear in front of him as Emperor Qinghua described.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qinghua was not annoyed at all. Instead, he laughed along with him with great interest.

For a while.

"What is this called?" Hong Chen asked himself and answered: "As the saying goes, 'Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't despise the poor young'. The dragon tribe back then is like two completely different tribes compared to now."

Emperor Qinghua nodded and said in agreement: "The Duke of Dong back then and the Emperor of Dongji Qinghua today, don't they seem to be two different people?"

Hong Chen laughed and looked up at him: "You have experienced many ups and downs, but now you have broken through the shackles of your state of mind and the shackles of desire." He admired the beautiful scenery around him and praised: "Such a relaxing and happy natural residence, I can't wait to overthrow the Xuanling Imperial Palace and rebuild it."

"Hahaha, that's true. But the Xuanling Imperial Palace is in the Ninth Heaven, so it's not convenient to tear it down and rebuild it. You might as well renovate your Xuanling City so that it doesn't look so gloomy. After all, no one has stipulated that the underworld must be dark and obscure."

Hong Chen sat up and nodded in approval: "That's reasonable."

Then he closed his eyes and sent a message to the incarnation of the underworld who was reviewing memorials.

After opening his eyes, Hong Chen got straight to the point: "The affairs of the underworld are complicated, and it is also a crucial place for the reincarnation of the Three Realms and Six Paths. Now I have reorganized the underworld and found many omissions and also noticed some problems."

Emperor Qinghua refilled Hong Chen's teacup, put down the teapot, and said bluntly: "Since Emperor Xuanling has come personally to invite me, if I refuse again, I will be ungrateful."

This is a promise.

Hong Chen felt relieved and said, "Your Majesty, you are too polite. Your incarnation is crucial to the stability of the order in the underworld. It is not only because the Buddhist sect is secretly saving souls and nurturing living beings. Even if there is no Buddhism in the Three Realms, there should be the Ten Directions Rescue Heavenly Venerable in the underworld. This is what all living beings in the Three Realms need and want. Your Majesty is willing to go there, and the merits are immeasurable!"

Emperor Qinghua waved his hand: "Haha, how can I call myself an emperor in front of Emperor Xuanling?"

"You're welcome. In that case, we can call each other brothers. You are my elder, born many years earlier than me. I am my younger, so I would like to call you brother. How about that?"

"Haha, that's great, of course. I'll take advantage of it today. My dear brother Xuanling!" Emperor Qinghua bowed.

Hong Chen returned the greeting: "Brother Qinghua!"

Soon, the two of them made tea and chatted, and a month passed quickly.

A month later, the Ten-Direction Savior of Suffering Heaven entered the underworld, and countless wronged souls that were wandering in the Three Realms or drowning in the Yellow Spring River were immediately freed and reincarnated into the Six Paths, adding countless lives to the Three Realms.

The vigorous development of the three realms is inseparable from a huge base of living beings.

The gods are very important to the Three Realms, but Hong Chen will not ignore the ordinary creatures who seem weak.

"Living beings" represent more than just the human race.

But every time he thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

As the founder of the underworld, Niangniang Pingxin's understanding of this matter should be far greater than his.

But it is a pity that both the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan suffered heavy casualties in the battle back then, and the absence of Niangniang Pingxin was indeed the key reason why the Witch Clan's Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation was flawed.

This incident might not be a psychological demon for Empress Pingxin, but she had never let go of the witch clan.

Of course, as a human being, Hong Chen also felt that she didn't need to and shouldn't let go.

However, when she always carries regrets or knots in her heart, it is difficult for her to achieve a deep resonance with the authentic place.

What the tunnel needs is balance.

The absolute balance of the six realms of reincarnation for all races and souls.

It’s not that Empress Pingxin didn’t do it, but she almost didn’t do it.

Since her visit to the underworld, she has shown up very rarely, and the operation of the underworld is not included in her daily affairs.

In layman's terms, she is a homebody who can't be more at home.

Perhaps, when she completely lets go of all thoughts about the Witch Clan in the future, her resonance with the earth will reach a new level. At that time, she might have a chance to catch up with Hongjun, the Heavenly Dao.

In fact, when the underworld was first established, Niangniang Pingxin must have had the emotion and goal of compassion for all living beings, but the tragic situation of the witch clan later changed her views to a certain extent.

All I can say is: a saint still has something to do with the word "human".

Also.

With the official appointment of Ten-Directions Savior of Suffering Heavenly Venerable in the underworld, Hong Chen's power, luck and authority as the ruler of the underworld and the Supreme Emperor of the Underworld have also been correspondingly enhanced.

He glanced at the sea of ​​blood. It was formed from the belly button of the great god Pangu, and then after the first batch of creatures were born, it contained countless dirty blood. Its area was vast and endless. Before Lady Pingxin established the underworld, the sea of ​​blood was almost a natural gathering place for true spirits and soul fragments.

Therefore, the sea of ​​blood is filled with various negative energies, such as hostility, evil spirits, death, turbid air, etc. The interweaving and fusion of these auras makes the environment of the sea of ​​blood increasingly harsh, and no fish or shrimps thrive, and no birds or insects come.

In fact, according to the unique properties of the Red Dust Sword, the sea of ​​blood is the best place for it to sharpen its edge and even upgrade it.

It’s a pity that although the sea of ​​blood is dirty, this extreme environment also gave birth to a unique innate sacred thing - the Styx.

As a top quasi-saint below the saint and one of the three thousand mortals in the Zixiao Palace, the Old Ancestor of the Styx is more like an inspirational role model.

After Hongjun preached three times in Zixiao Palace, Nuwa was the first to realize the way of a sage, created man out of clay, and ascended to the position of a sage.

When the old man of the Styx saw it, he was immediately excited and started to learn in the sea of ​​blood on the spot.

After some careful and meticulous tinkering, he created a race other than himself that could live and reproduce in the sea of ​​blood: Asura.

Although the method of creating a race could not make him a saint, the merits he gained at that time and the Asura race that has flourished to this day still brought him countless benefits.

Soon after Nuwa became a saint, the Three Pure Ones successively established the Human Sect, the Orthodox Sect and the Demon Sect in Kunlun Mountain. The three brothers successfully became saints one after another, shocking the world.

When the old man of the Styx saw it, he was immediately excited and started to learn in the sea of ​​blood on the spot.

After more careful and detailed preparations, he established the "Asura Religion" in the sea of ​​blood with the Asura clan he created himself as the foundation.

Although the method of establishing a religion still could not make the Styx Patriarch a saint, the merits brought by the Asura religion still benefited him a lot.

After the Three Pure Ones, Jie Yin and Zhunti from the West followed suit, but even if they joined together to establish a religion, they were still far from what was needed to become a saint. So, in front of all the living beings in the entire prehistoric world, Jie Yin and Zhunti unhesitatingly asked for a loan from the Heavenly Dao.

After reviewing the application, the Heavenly Dao reluctantly agreed to their application in order to revive the West, whose spiritual veins and foundations had been shattered in the battle between the Demonic Dao and the Immortal Dao.

After witnessing Jie Yin and Zhunti successfully ascend to the position of Huabei Saint, the Old Ancestor of the Styx could no longer hold back.

Unfortunately, this time, his application was ruthlessly rejected as soon as it was submitted, without even a reason being given.

But the old man of the Styx still did not give up.

On the eve of the war between wizards and liches, Empress Pingxin was inexplicably drawn to open up the underworld and become an alternative saint.

The ancestor of the Styx followed suit.

Then, as we all know, Asura became one of the six realms of reincarnation.

It can be regarded as completing the reincarnation order of the underworld. There is no need to say more about the blessings and benefits of the Styx Patriarch.

Although the ancestor of the Styx still failed to become a saint, his unremitting efforts made him one of the top powers under the saints.

In Hong Chen's mind, there are not many quasi-saint players who can compete with Haotian on equal terms, and the Styx Patriarch must be one of them.

At this moment, when he looked over, the old ancestor of the Styx who lived in the deepest part of the sea of ​​blood immediately sensed something, because the old ancestor of the Styx had almost refined the entire sea of ​​blood into his own clone, and naturally everything that happened here could not be hidden from his eyes.

In an instant, Hong Chen seemed to see two swords glowing with blood flying towards him from afar.

His sword intent sensed the external stimulation and exploded in an instant.

The invisible collision of swords created a ripple in the sea of ​​blood.

Then, a burning bright red flower floated in front of Hong Chen.

Karma fire.

The karmic fire that comes from the twelfth-grade karmic fire red lotus, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, uses karma as its fuel. Once it is contaminated by karma, it will not go out until it is completely burned out.

However, this karmic fire was subject to some restrictions and would not cause any negative impact on Hong Chen.

In other words, this is a one-time treasure sent by the ancestor of the Styx.

"Thank you!" Hong Chen smiled and sighed that this quasi-saint was also a person who understood the world well. He accepted the karma fire and bowed to express his gratitude.

Now, all the methods of becoming a saint that the Old Ancestor of the Styx has tried have been confirmed to be ineffective, and the only remaining glimmer of hope is placed on the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

In addition to Hongjun, there are six saints in the Heavenly Dao.

There is only one saint in the tunnel now.

Therefore, it can be said without exaggeration that the ancestor of the Styx belonged to the underworld from heaven.

He is a good helper, but Hong Chen is unable to mobilize him with his current cultivation level.

No matter how high your status is, it will be useless if you lack strength.

Let’s talk about the clone.

The blood sea clone of the Styx Patriarch is also unique in the three realms of the prehistoric world.

However, his clone technique relies on the unique sea of ​​blood, so even if Hong Chen obtains it, he cannot copy it.

So, we still have to proceed according to the original plan.

During the great calamity of the Conferred Gods, Patriarch Tongtian set up the Immortal Execution Sword Formation.

This number one killing formation in the Heavenly Dao is said to be "unbreakable except by the Four Saints".

Previously, among the six saints of heaven, the Three Pure Ones occupied three seats, and the remaining three saints were not strong enough to break the Zhuxian Sword Formation, so the Master Tongtian could be said to have a sword in hand and nothing to worry about.

But even the saint himself could not have expected that this Zhuxian Sword Formation that "cannot be broken except by the Four Saints" would actually attract four saints.

After the four saints withstood the main attack of the Zhu Xian Sword Formation, four Golden Immortals of the Chen Sect took action and picked up the Four Zhu Xian Swords.

Among them, Guangchengzi picked up the Zhuxian Sword, Chijingzi picked up the Luxian Sword, Yuding Zhenren picked up the Xianxian Sword, and Daoxing Tianzun picked up the Juexian Sword.

After the Conferred Gods Battle, Master Tongtian was confined to Zixiao Palace by Hongjun. Before leaving, he did not take back the Four Swords of Zhuxian, but only took away the key Zhuxian Formation Diagram.

Until Hong Chen arrived, Master Tongtian recalled the Zhuxian Sword with a wave of his hand. It can be seen that he has absolute control over the Four Zhuxian Swords. Not to mention whether the Golden Immortals of the Chenjiao dare to refine it, even if they dare to do so, they cannot erase the mark left by the saint.

Yuanshi Tianzun probably still had some dignity left and did not target his brothers again.

From this we can see that if Hong Chen wants to collect the Four Swords of Zhu Xian, he has to find Chi Jingzi, Yu Ding Zhenren and Daoxing Tianzun.

Chi Jingzi ranks second among the Twelve Golden Immortals. Now he is a Daluo Golden Immortal, so he is not considered for the time being.

Although Jade Ding Zhenren has not reached the realm of Daluo, he is also at the peak of Taiyi, and he is also Yang Jian's master. Considering the relationship between him and Yang Chan as fellow disciples, he is not considered for the time being.

Therefore, his current target can only be Daoxing Tianzun.
