Chapter 17: Construction Begins in the Underworld!
Chapter 17: Construction Begins in the Underworld!
"Congratulations, Ancestor! Congratulations!"
Seeing that Styx looked a little disappointed, Chen Fusheng quickly said:
"If they've already reached the level of near-saint, how far away can a true saint be?"
"Fellow Daoist is right." Styx was in a good mood and nodded slightly.
He then respectfully bowed towards the location of Houtu in the Pangu Temple.
Previously, he claimed to be the best below the sage, but in reality, he relied on four accompanying top-grade innate spiritual treasures.
Now, they have entered the realm of Quasi-Saint.
That truly makes him the number one below even a saint.
Even if it were a blow from a sage, Styx would be confident of withstanding it.
Moreover, he discovered...
As long as I am in the Netherworld, it seems that I can borrow a portion of the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation!
This will further enhance my strength.
It is infinitely close to the realm of a sage.
Styx was filled with mixed emotions.
Who could have imagined that a mysterious dragon would actually bring him such an incredible opportunity?
Thinking of this, Styx clasped his hands in a gesture of respect and bowed to Chen Fusheng, saying:
"The kindness of Fellow Daoist Fusheng Fengdu is truly immense."
"If you need any assistance from the Styx River, please feel free to ask."
Chen Fusheng did not avoid Styx's bow.
Because in the underworld, he is the Great Emperor of Fengdu!
He is the undisputed second-in-command of the Underworld.
Moreover, it was he who facilitated Styx's rapid ascension to the quasi-saint status.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Fusheng didn't stand on ceremony.
"The underground passage is newly established, and reincarnation has just appeared in the world. We are indeed busy and need the help of the Ancestor."
Styx replied earnestly again, "No problem! Please speak freely, fellow Daoist!"
"This humble Taoist wishes to represent the Netherworld and establish a long-term cooperative alliance with the Asura race, created by our ancestor!"
"The Asura race can all be underworld officials!"
"What is the Ancestor's opinion?"
Styx was taken aback, then a joyful expression appeared on his face. He stepped forward and once again tightly grasped Chen Fusheng's hands.
"Oh my, this is truly a blessing beyond measure!"
"Fellow Daoist, you've given me, your old ancestor, another wonderful surprise!"
How could Styx, who had already become a near-saint, not see this?
This has attracted the Asura clan to the local underworld officials, which is definitely a great merit they have earned.
Rather than saying they needed his help, it would be more accurate to say that Chen Fusheng was promoting the Asura clan.
Fellow Daoist Fusheng's kindness can never be repaid, it can never be repaid!
"Haha, you're too kind, fellow Daoist."
Chen Fusheng was quite satisfied with the wise and reasonable Styx Ancestor.
Soon, Styx, representing the Asura clan, signed a personnel agreement with the Underworld.
Soon, the agreement was signed, the tunnel appeared, and the contract was complete!
Chen Fusheng spoke up: "I urge the Ancestor to send the Asura clan to the prehistoric world to capture wandering ghosts as soon as possible."
These Asuras were all created by the Styx River.
In addition, since Styx was originally a Saint of the Dao, Chen Fusheng did not intend to pay attention to these Asuras.
The jobs of underworld messengers are all tiring work involving arresting people.
If everything is outsourced to the Styx River, what wandering ghosts can't they catch?
Once I'm strong enough, I can arrange for supervisors like cattle and horses to join the outsourced underworld system and take control of the overall situation.
"Of course, of course." Styx nodded. "Rest assured, fellow Daoist, I will handle this personally."
"We guarantee that our underworld will get running as soon as possible."
"Good!" Chen Fusheng nodded.
To show his loyalty, Styx hurriedly returned to the Blood Sea to arrange work for Asura.
Later, when encountering powerful Yin spirits, Styx even deployed the Blood God's clone.
This made all the major powers in the prehistoric world dare not underestimate the Underworld.
"They've already won over the Styx so quickly?"
"Could this Houtu really be something special?"
In the Purple Cloud Palace, Dao Ancestor Hongjun kept a close eye on the newly established underground passage.
He was somewhat surprised to see the Blood God's clones appearing from time to time in the primordial world.
However, I didn't pay too much attention to it.
After all, even the pillar of Buzhou was knocked down by Gonggong.
The legacy of Pangu has completely vanished; the tide has turned!
From now on, the primordial world will be ruled by Hongjun.
"Although Houtu is decisive, she carries too much karma, making the underground passage no longer a threat!"
"At this juncture, we must seize as much power as possible within the Heavenly Dao, so that the child may become the Heavenly Emperor!"
"This will allow this old Daoist to grasp the primordial Heavenly Dao more quickly!"
A glint of light flashed in Hongjun's eyes as he secretly pondered his next move.
His ultimate goal in uniting with the Dao was to drive the heavens and devour humanity.
Become the master of both the Heavenly and Human realms!
In this way, he can break through to another major realm.
Even if countless calamities occur in the future and the primordial world is destroyed, he can still live well in the chaos.
It's not impossible to even emulate Pangu and create the world again.
This is a grand strategy.
In order to survive the final immeasurable eon.
Hongjun took each step with great caution and care.
.....
Styx became a sub-sage and even reserved a seat for a true sage.
The Xuan Turtle Primordial Spirit in the Nirvana Platform watched with great interest.
Unable to resist, he pleaded with Chen Fusheng, "May the Heavenly Venerable grant me boundless blessings, Turtle, I also really want to improve."
"I wonder if you could also arrange a Saintly Position for Earthly Realm cultivators?"
Although the black tortoise did not know why, he understood.
Houtu truly trusted Huilong.
He genuinely didn't want to get involved.
Even someone like a sage from the lower realms can be dealt with by Huilong.
"Oh?" Chen Fusheng said calmly, "I'm glad you want to improve."
"But you immediately demanded the tone of a true sage, which I find very displeasing!"
Xuan Turtle Primordial Spirit: (⊙_⊙)?
"No, Brother Boundless Blessings, you're mistaken."
"Turtle really wants to improve so it can serve you!"
What does face matter before a holy position?
"Don't rush," Chen Fusheng said. "I still have a great use for your clever little brain!"
Upon hearing this, the black tortoise felt a little disappointed.
Chen Fusheng couldn't help but say, "Don't worry, as long as you do a good job, you'll be no worse than a Saint of the Earthly Realm."
Upon hearing this, the Black Tortoise of the North Sea was immediately invigorated: "I'll go through fire and water for you, Heavenly Venerable Fusheng!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Fusheng couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
The fact that the Styx River could reserve a position as a Saint of the Earthly Path is because it is in line with the Six Paths of the Netherworld.
If this Xuan Turtle wants to become a saint of humanity, it must strive to change the human race and even the way of humanity.
Only then can one become a saint of humanity.
.....
Ignoring the Xuan Turtle any longer, Chen Fusheng arrived at the end of the River of Oblivion.
"The Fusheng Fengdu Grand Hall, rise!"
With a soft sigh, he used the power of the tunnel.
A grand palace was built in an instant.
The River of Oblivion is said to be a river.
But the river is hundreds of millions of feet wide.
There are also many native creatures from the underworld inside.
However, before Houtu was reincarnated, the Great Dao of the Netherworld was not manifest.
The vast majority of living beings have never been enlightened.
That's why Chen Fusheng chose to stay in the underworld and cultivate.
Looking at all this, Chen Fusheng felt that something was missing.
Because many ghosts have already been taken into the underworld by the Asuras.
Having passed through the gates of hell, I embarked on the road to the underworld.
Just then.
A bridge called Naihe Bridge appeared on the River of Oblivion at some unknown time.
On the bridge, an old woman dressed in black was serving forget-me-not soup to the departed souls.
In addition, the Three Lives Stone, the Terrace of Longing for Home, and the Road to the Wrongful Death all appeared in the Netherworld.
Chen Fusheng immediately realized that it was Houtu Niangniang who had intervened.
He quickly took out the Mirror of Retribution and complained in the group chat:
"I really can't understand why the beautiful Houtu Niangniang would transform into this old woman's incarnation?"
