The First Demon of the Chan Sect-Chapter 291 - 237 Perfecting Reincarnation, Hell is Endless

Chapter 291: Chapter 237 Perfecting Reincarnation, Hell is Endless

Jiejing and Zhunti exchanged glances, both seeing the determinacy in each other’s eyes, and nodded in unison, saying, "Please, Master, teach us!"

A clear smile, like lifting the mist to see the bright moon, appeared on the face of the refined middle-aged man. He said, "Good, you two go and explore the Netherworld Blood Sea! I await your good news!"

The sanctification of Houtu truly stirred up a tremendous storm within the Primordial world.

Underneath Mount Buzhou, in the Witch Tribe’s camp, there was a lively scene of celebration and dancing, where the excited Witch Tribe danced with joy, including the Ancestor Witches themselves.

"Ha ha ha, wonderful! Now our Witch Tribe also has a Saint!" In the Ancestral Witch Hall, Naz, unable to hide the joy in his eyes, excitedly banged the table.

Zhu Jiuyin picked up the wine cup in front of him and drank it in one gulp, then laughed heartily: "Ha ha ha, exhilarating! With sister Houtu becoming a Saint, and coupled with Hou Yi reaching the state of an Ancestor Witch, indeed, double happiness has descended upon our Witch Tribe!"

Di Jiang also had a face full of joy that he could not hide.

The rest of the Ancestor Witches, except for Xuanming, all linked arms and drank the fine wine, having no spare time to speak.

However, the starkly empty Pingyu Jia Yitian exhibited a contrast to the situation of the Witch Tribe.

Taiyi sat with a livid face in a side hall that had just been rebuilt, growling furiously, "Witch Tribe, Witch Tribe! I hadn’t expected the Witch Tribe to also produce a Saint. Could it be that the heavens want the demise of our Demon Race?"

Di Jun also had an unsightly complexion and snorted coldly, "It seems at present! Our Demon Race and Witch Tribe have a Saint as backing. If we go to war, we are sure to be the ones defeated. Wuzu has as many as eleven sub-saints! And whether Saints can intervene in the battle between Witch and Demon is still unknown. Even if they do intervene, what of it? Those high and mighty Saints, when have they ever thought of our Demon Race’s plight!"

Bai Ze stepped out among the crowd and said, "Your Majesties, if Qingmingzi His Majesty consents to assist during this Calamity, victory is hopeful for our Demon Race!"

Upon hearing this, Di Jun’s eyes lit up and said, "Yes, if Fellow Daoist Qingmingzi, whose Divine Skills are comparable to a Saint, is willing to take action..."

Standing at the lower end, Kunpeng remained expressionless but sneered internally, "Pitiful! Our master originally had compassion for the Demon Race, but the insane slaughter of the Human Clan by you, Di Jun and Taiyi, has already deeply hurt our master’s heart! And now you still expect our master to help the Demon Race? Ridiculous, simply ludicrous, ha ha ha!"

...

In the Reincarnation Blood Sea.

"Aoooo!" Above the Blood Sea, ferocious souls uttered soul-shaking roars, shrill and piercing! They intertwined with each other and shot towards the depths of reincarnation like swallows returning to their nests.

Li Qingming watched Houtu, who was gradually collecting her aura, and said, "Sister Houtu, don’t you want to see the Reincarnation World you created with your own hands?"

Upon hearing this, Houtu lightly opened her red lips and smiled, "It is my desire indeed, but I dare not ask you to."

Netherworld River snorted disdainfully and mocked, "Cheesy, so cheesy!"

At this moment, the Reincarnation World was filled with a dim mist. Indistinct souls wandered throughout the space. The eerie sensation truly sent shivers down one’s spine.

"Crack"

Suddenly, a series of footsteps came through the murky fog ahead, and troops clad in armor approached them. Their forms were ethereal, their bodies tightly covered in armor, with obscure faces revealing only two brightly glowing red eyes. Holding Iron Spears and War Spears, they exuded a formidable yin energy. They patrolled this realm with a chilling intent, devoid of any signs of life, like cold lifeless puppets.

"What’s going on?" Li Qingming and the other two were taken aback.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation were newly established and couldn’t possibly host any living entities, unless these soldiers had lived within the Chaos Pearl.

While the group was astonished and confused, a man walked out from behind the soldiers. Although he had a yin energy aura, he looked no different from a normal person. He bowed to Houtu and said, "Three Saints, the Realm Master has ordered me to welcome you three into the palace."

The three exchanged glances, and Li Qingming asked, "Realm Master? Could it be Ping Xin?"

Upon hearing this, the ghostly soldier bowed towards the southern direction of the Reincarnation World and said, "The greatly merciful and holy, supremely benevolent and saintly Ping Xin, is indeed the ruler of the Reincarnation realm!"

Giving Houtu a curious glance, Li Qingming said, "Please lead the way!"

Soldiers stood up and commanded the ghost soldiers to hunt down those souls, leading the way at the forefront themselves.

Li Qingming saw Houtu frowning and said, "Sister, do you not understand how your Good Corpse Pingxin could have hidden the creation of ghost soldiers, soul hunting, building cities... all of these actions from your Primordial Spirit?"

After pondering, Houtu said, "Logically speaking, Pingxin is my Good Corpse, and her every move should be observable by me. Why am I unaware of everything that Pingxin has done?"

Hearing this, Netherworld River interjected, "The Taoist Ancestor Hong Jun once said during the three lectures in Zixiao that the Three Corpses are the Good Self, the Evil Self, and the True Self, which can be regarded as independent entities. When they are in a specific environment or inside a Spiritual Treasure, the main body can only sense the existence of the Three Corpses but cannot fully understand their actions. Therefore, Houtu Fellow Daoist need not worry!"

While they were speaking, the ghost soldier had already led everyone to an open area. There, a massive city built entirely of the black Spiritual Yin Stone stood in sight.

This Spiritual Yin Stone is a unique refining material of the Reincarnation World. They are extremely hard and adept at gathering yin energy, making them the most suitable Spiritual Material for soul cultivation.

Black mist wrapped around the city, and countless ghost soldiers bustled in and out of this ancient city, looking as busy as a modern military force.

Pingxin, who had been waiting at the city gate, hurried forward a few steps when she saw Li Qingming and the others, and greeted, "Pingxin pays respects to the True Self!"

"You and I are one and the same, why bother with formalities, Fellow Daoist!" Houtu returned the courtesy and carefully examined Pingxin, only to suddenly discover that even with her Saintly Cultivation, she couldn’t see through Pingxin. How truly odd!

"Eh! Fellow Daoist Pingxin, why can none of us discern your level of Cultivation?" Netherworld River asked in surprise, looking at Pingxin.

Pingxin smiled faintly and said, "This world was created by myself, and in this world, I am the Heavenly Dao that controls everything!"

"Hisss!" Netherworld River took a sharp breath in shock and exclaimed, "What? Does that mean Daoist Friend is on the same level as Taoist Ancestor Hong Jun?"

With no choice, Li Qingming patted Netherworld River on the arm, saying with irritation, "This world is derived from the Chaos Pearl. Fellow Daoist Pingxin can be said to be the owner of this Supreme Treasure, and naturally can do as she pleases within this pearl. However, if she leaves the Reincarnation World, Fellow Daoist Pingxin’s Cultivation will still be suppressed to the Early Quasi-Saint stage. Fellow Daoist, am I right in what I say?"

Pingxin nodded lightly and chuckled, "Just as Fellow Daoist has said!"

"Boom!" Just as they were speaking, thunderous roars suddenly sounded from the distant sky. Two dark lights, shining with endless majesty, broke through the Void and hurtled towards Pingxin.

Seeing this, Pingxin’s bare hand waved lightly, and the two ghostly lights suddenly stopped their charge, the dark light dissipated, revealing the items within.

One was a brush with black bristles and a red handle, shimmering faintly with black light, with an intense yin energy flowing out from its fine tip. Golden Tao Runes were etched onto the slender handle, expertly carving the two Great Dao runes "Reincarnation".

The other, however, was a dark and thick book, emitting an aura not far off from the Heavenly Book of God Sealing. No one knew what material the book was made of, but three Great Dao runes "Book of Life and Death" were branded on its surface. Although the runes were in relief, they seemed to move, continuously flickering with a dark luster.

"The Spring and Autumn Reincarnation Pen, the Human Book of Life and Death!" Li Qingming murmured, staring intently at the two Spiritual Treasures.

Netherworld River looked at Li Qingming curiously and said, "Big Brother, how do you know the names of these two Spiritual Treasures?"

Li Qingming did not explain, but went on to say, "There are three Books between Heaven and Earth. One is the Heavenly Book ’Investiture of the Gods’, which establishes divine positions. Currently, it is in the hands of Taoist Ancestor Hong Jun; the second is the Earth Book ’Earth Embryo Membrane’, when positioned above one’s head, it can harness the power of the Earth for unmatched defense, now held by Zhen Yuan Fellow Daoist; the third is the Human Book ’Book of Life and Death’ together with the ’Spring and Autumn Reincarnation Pen’. This set records the birth and fate of all beings in the Cycle, distinguishes the good and evil of beings in the Three Realms, dictates rewards and punishments, clarifying merits and faults! They truly are the Supreme Treasures of the Six Paths of Reincarnation!"

Looking around the empty Reincarnation Space, Li Qingming suddenly said to Pingxin, "Fellow Daoist Pingxin, with the Six Paths of Reincarnation just established, some essential features have yet to be built. Do you have any ideas?"

Pingxin was startled and looked bewilderedly at the grey space, saying, "What Fellow Daoist has mentioned has not crossed my mind. Upon closer inspection, this Reincarnation Space is indeed vast and desolate."

"In that case, I shall assist Fellow Daoist in perfecting the Reincarnation World!" Li Qingming smiled faintly and threw something with his hand.

The treasure was a cubic pagoda, roughly palm-sized. From top to bottom, it was shiny black, divided into eighteen layers, with each layer ornately decorated and luxuriously arrayed. There were no talisman prohibitions on the entire pagoda, only the dazzling black light, and the strands of chilling Evil Qi that hung from the eight small windows opened on each floor. It had an aspect of solemnity and majesty.

Li Qingming pointed with one hand, and the palm-sized pagoda immediately radiated thousand-zhang black light, suddenly swelling up, expanding countless billion zhang in size.

Booming echoes emerged from the colossal tower, as though beating the structure itself, and in an instant, black light dispersed, daylight broke through, and various visions surrounded the tower.

"The Eighteen Layers of Hell will punish the wicked, Bi Luo and Netherworld are boundless!" declared Li Qingming, then pushed his hand downward towards the ground. The eighteen-layered pagoda, glinting with ghostly light, now displayed a golden Tao Rune on each level: "Tongue-pulling Hell", "Scissors Hell"... all the way through the eighteenth layer of "Saw Hell."

Then, the entire pagoda sank into the ground, and after a tumultuous upheaval, everything eventually settled calmly. Only in the southwest direction stood a giant archway, with a couplet on both sides: "The Infinite Hell Gate will eventually open, no one should tread the cycle of Eternal Reincarnation with a dry step!"

Above the main beam were four Talismanic characters that looked like ghostly scrawls: "Hell is Endless!" (To be continued.
