The Celestial Hound accepted the order and left the hall. It returned to its residence and activated the Primitive Emperor's Decree.
Blood light soared and brown fog surrounded it, forming a simple stone door with the will of life and death intertwining in front of it. It was blurry and hazy.
The stone door was unlatched, revealing a gap. It could vaguely see the scene behind it. It was a world of deep darkness, a flowing blood-brown river, and a haze of death that shrouded the world.
The Celestial Hound used its supernatural power to summon the projection of additional self related to the Netherworld to possess it. Its body gradually disappeared and completely blended into the void. It passed through the gap and tried to step into the Netherworld's ghost in its dream.
After a feeling of illusory coldness, the Celestial Hound had already sneaked in. The blood-brown river ran through the entire Netherworld. No one knew where it came from or where it flowed to. Countless evil spirits floated and floated in it, letting out shrill cries from time to time, as if they could never be freed.
The Flower of the Other Shore bloomed by the shore, embellishing the peaceful silence, making people forget their sorrow, pain, and the past. There were towering and simple stone bridges on the river, leading to the depths of the Netherworld, where reincarnation quietly rotated.
At this moment, every stone bridge was heavily guarded. The judges led the way and the Ghost Kings and Yin Marshals assisted them. Not even a fly from the outside world could sneak in.
The Celestial Hound had long been aware of the abnormality of the Netherworld. When Master Xuan Bei used the Myriad World Talisman to expiate the souls here a few days ago, everything suddenly became smooth and there was no more sneaky feeling. According to the ghosts that managed to escape, the Netherworld was in chaos and the messengers of death were in a constant state of anxiety. How would they have the mood to care about them?
This abnormality only ended yesterday, and things seemed to have returned to normal.
The Celestial Hound that blended into the void and was invisible ran close to the stone bridge to see if there was a chance to sneak in. However, the stone bridge was not only guarded by the judges and Yin Marshals, but also activated a strong restrictive spell and various concealment methods. With the Celestial Hound's mastery of the Seal of Void, it was very difficult to pass through without being noticed.
Therefore, the slightest carelessness would immediately expose its whereabouts. Although it was not afraid of the Ghost Emperors of the Ten Halls after the death of Fengdu, who were all fellows whose strength was not comparable to its own, who knew what changes had happened in the Underworld in the past few days, and whether a new tyrannical ruler had appeared.
Just when the Celestial Hound was in a dilemma, it realized that the Primitive Emperor's Talisman that had transformed into an ancient stone door did not disappear immediately. It floated over silently and stuck to its back, condensing the Netherworld Qi dynamic of hiding life in death and death in life.
With a thought, the Celestial Hound left the stone bridge and tried to walk into the blood-brown river.
The wailing and howling ghosts completely ignored the existence of the Celestial Hound, as if it was really just a part of the void. Meanwhile, the unbuoyant river water, which could erase its intelligence, quietly changed and seemed to be clustered around it.
Therefore, the Howling Celestial Dog crossed the Yellow Springs of Hell without anyone noticing and stepped into the depths of Hell.
If it didn't know what was good for it, it would have barked to express its pride.
Even some Heavenly Lords don't dare to touch the water of Acheron, but I, the Celestial Hound, can swim in it without falling!
The Celestial Hound did not delay and sneaked into the dark halls that were connected to the universe of the Myriad World. Halfway there, it suddenly stopped because it could sense that there was a terrifying existence behind the halls. Even if it was not deliberately targeted at it, it could still make it scared. If it really approached the Place of Reincarnation, it might be discovered on the spot.
"Is it the new Lord of the Netherworld?" The Celestial Hound pondered for a while and circled around the Place of Reincarnation and the dark halls, giving up on going deeper.
After a while, it encountered two patrolling Infernal Judges who were whispering to each other via voice transmission.
Seeing this, the Celestial Hound that was hiding in the void opened its mouth and revealed a bright smile. It quietly activated the Yuan Xin Seal and eavesdropped on the conversation of the other party.
"Sigh, I thought that the Great Emperor would be able to reach the highest level, but I didn't expect him to fall so early," the judge in black sighed.
The judge with a circle of blood on his sleeve replied with mixed emotions, "Under the Nirvana Realm, it's really easy to die. Forget it, the change of the Lord of the Netherworld doesn't affect us much. No matter who takes over the Netherworld, they have to use us. They can't do everything by themselves, right?"
"I'm afraid that all the previous efforts will go down the drain." The judge in black said nervously, "In order to improve on the Real Spirit Map, I have always fawned on the King of Hell and ignored the other Ghost Emperors of the Nine Halls to show my loyalty. Now that the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits has become the Lord of the Netherworld, he seems to put the King of Reincarnation and King of Qinguang in an important position … Sigh, I'm really afraid that they will find a mistake and send me to Samsara."
The Grand Saint of Nine Spirits has become the new Lord of the Netherworld? The Celestial Hound was slightly stunned.
It was not surprised by this result. The Qing Emperor was the only one who could walk on the Nirvana Realm in the world. After Fengdu died and the Netherworld lost its master, if he wanted to intervene, who could compete with him?
And he gave the position of the Lord of the Netherworld to his mount, the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits, the Great Sage who had completed the Creation Realm.
The judge with a circle of blood on his sleeve looked around, and his voice became solemn and low, "I heard a news from the Yama Palace. After the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits entered the Netherworld, he didn't find the Real Spirit Map. It seemed to have been taken away by someone."
"What? The True Spirit Map of the Ghost and God is missing? "The black-robed Magistrate was shocked.
Their supernatural powers and official ranks all came from the Real Spirit Map, so they were completely suppressed by this magic treasure. Now the Lord of the Netherworld was the Lord of the Netherworld, and the owner of the Real Spirit Map was another powerhouse. If they were to encounter any conflicts in the future, they would be in a dilemma.
What they were most afraid of was that the one who obtained the Real Spirit Map would erase all the spirits in it and make them disappear after seeing that there was no hope of entering the Netherworld.
They talked about this in fear, and the Celestial Hound who got the important news retreated quietly. It crossed the Acheron again, left the Netherworld, and returned to the Yuxu Palace of Kunlun Mountain. It told the Sect Master Mengqi in detail.
The Qing Emperor really had his own ideas, so he made the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits the Lord of the Netherworld … Mengqi nodded slightly. This was an important news.
The important thing was not who the Lord of the Netherworld was, but not to simply treat the Qing Emperor as a vassal of some ancient.
Every Nirvana Realm person was the will of Heaven, not the puppet of others!
In the future, he had to adjust his attitude towards the Qing Emperor, and temporarily not trigger the matter of the pure land of Hell from his master, lest the will of Heaven was like a knife.
As for the disappearance of the Real Spirit Map, Mengqi could easily figure out what was going on. It must be the Ancient Buddha Bodhi who first noticed the death of one of the Three Separations, so he took the Real Spirit Map through other chess pieces before the Qing Emperor.
No wonder the Ancient Buddha Bodhi wanted to seal the List of Deification and said that the time had not come yet. Wasn't he waiting for the Emperor of Feng Du to complete the Way of Life and Death and completely wake up and return?
Based on this, the Ancient Buddha Bodhi temporarily gave up the Netherworld, but he grasped the Real Spirit Map and waited for the opportunity. He was not only fighting with the Qing Emperor when he was in the world.
However, he did not know if the Real Spirit Map had returned to his hands, or if it was still on the chess piece, and he was covering the trace …
Mengqi thought for a while and temporarily put this matter aside. He did not want to have a conflict with the Qing Emperor, and still hid the Wheel of Death in the origin as a backup chess piece. He closed his eyes and divided his attention to the newly born universe to sense the meaning of opening, so as to condense and sublimate the Kai Tian Seal.
After an unknown period of time, his heart suddenly moved. He opened his eyes and looked outside of the Taoist temple.
Under the trees, there stood a middle-aged man with a sage-like appearance. He had a long beard and a pale golden complexion. He was Guangchengzi, one of the Nine Primogenitors of Taoism!
"Welcome, Senior Guangcheng. I apologize for not going out to greet you," Mengqi smiled and appeared in front of Guangchengzi.
Guangchengzi snorted, "You don't have to be so courteous. I came here to discuss something. I hope you can agree to ring the Kunlun Ancient Bell and gather the disciples of Yuxu to discuss what should be done next."
Hearing Guangchengzi's words, Mengqi felt quite comfortable. At least Guangchengzi, the Heavenly Lord, did not ignore him, the leader, by ringing the bell to gather the disciples, but came to discuss in person.
"What should be done next?" Mengqi asked.
Guangchengzi looked at Mengqi's eyes with a smile,
"Since my Yuxu lineage supports the emperor, then we have to accumulate as much as possible before the Nirvana Realm Individuals return and expand our advantages. Now that the List of Deification has fallen to the Nine Serenities, what are your plans, Junior Brother?"
