Chapter 900 The Spring Guardian Appears in the World, Taking Control of the Underworld

Hu Xiuwu was summoned and thus descended to the underworld.

With a sweep of his divine sense, the entire environment spanning three thousand miles of the universe entered Hu Xiuwu's mind.

Hu Xiuwu did not focus solely on the situation in the underworld. He had many other things to do and could not possibly concentrate on just the underworld. After defeating the Heavenly Court at Flower Fruit Mountain, Hu Xiuwu handed over the affairs of the underworld to Sun Wukong, Su He, and others.

As long as Hu Xiuwu keeps an eye on Laozi and the Jade Emperor, preventing them from overturning the chessboard and directly breaking the Underworld, causing it to return to chaos, and using unorthodox methods to resolve everything, then the situation in the Underworld will be settled.

All that remains is the question of how much of a win this game will be.

Hu Xiuwu exclaimed: But I never expected that you would be able to achieve such a great victory.

The Five Ghost Emperors, along with the Northern Yin Emperor of Fengdu, were all captured alive.

Sun Wukong is skilled in using tricks and can deceive the Ghost Emperor, Hu Xiuwu believes.

But the chosen one, Sun Xunyin, along with the Demon Lord Chonglou and Nezha, are all notoriously reckless. How did they manage to capture the Ghost Emperor alive?

After Hu Xiuwu carefully reviewed the information in his mind, he finally understood.

Sun Wukong, being clever and resourceful, devised a plan with Prince Zhang. The group worked together and managed to defeat all five Ghost Emperors.

They let the chosen one, Sun Xunyin, make the first move. However, Sun Xunyin failed to deceive the Southern Ghost Emperor, who saw through their purpose in just a few words.

Enraged, the Southern Ghost Emperor directly clashed with the Chosen One, Sun Xunyin.

However, this was exactly what Sun Wukong wanted. The Southern Ghost Emperor was no match for Sun Xunyin, the chosen one who could defeat the Yellow-Eyebrowed Great Sage, the Yellow Wind King, or even fight Erlang Shen to a standstill without using any magic weapons.
The Southern Ghost Emperor was forced into a series of defeats.

Sun Wukong, Prince Zhang, Nezha, and Zhu Bajie had already gone to Baodu Mountain, Bazhong Mountain, Taozhi Mountain, and finally Luofeng Mountain, where the Central Ghost Emperor, the Western Ghost Emperor, the Eastern Ghost Emperor, and the Northern Ghost Emperor were stationed, respectively.

As a direct descendant of the Northern Yin Emperor of Fengdu, the Northern Ghost Emperor had lost all his soldiers and generals when Huaguo Mountain attacked Fengdu City. Only the Northern Ghost Emperor and his confidants remained. Therefore, he was powerless to resist before Erlang Shen and others stormed into the Zhou Jueyin Heavenly Palace.

Marshal Tianpeng (Zhu Bajie) led a detachment of demon troops, broke through the Northern Ghost Emperor's army formation, and captured the Northern Ghost Emperor.

The remaining strongest three, Sun Wukong, Prince Zhang, and Nezha, did not rush to make a move. Instead, following Sun Wukong's pre-battle plan, they ordered the remaining three Ghost Emperors to assist them in capturing the Southern Ghost Emperor, who was locked in a fierce battle with the Chosen One, Sun Xunyin, in order to atone for their crimes.

Such a simple statement had a tremendous effect.

The Eastern Ghost Emperor, the Central Ghost Emperor, and the Western Ghost Emperor—the three dignified Ghost Emperors of the Five Directions—did not question this at all. They all obeyed the order and even sent precious treasures from the Underworld to Sun Wukong and the others with a keen eye.

Sun Wukong naturally welcomed all comers, but Prince Zhang showed no mercy, only ordering him to send troops as soon as possible. Nezha, having already gone to Mount Ling and tricked the Buddha, had made considerable progress and did not make any mistakes in front of the Ghost Emperor.

In just a few words, taking advantage of the Five Ghost Emperors' reluctance to confront Flower Fruit Mountain head-on and damage their strength, Sun Wukong actually tricked the Five Ghost Emperors into fighting each other.

Even when the three Ghost Emperors were face to face, they did not notice anything amiss. The only one who knew the truth, the Southern Ghost Emperor, was still struggling to survive under the blows of the Heavenly Man, Sun Xunyin.

Seeing this, the remaining three Ghost Emperors became even more convinced of their own thoughts.

'Given the current situation, they don't even need to lift a finger. Sun Wukong and the others came to coerce us; all they want is a pledge of loyalty!'

'For the sake of our future, we have no choice but to trouble our brothers!' The Central, Eastern, and Western Ghost Emperors decided to make things difficult for the 'Southern Ghost Emperor.' At worst, they would treat the Southern Ghost Emperor's subordinates and wife and daughters better in the future!
In the end, the Southern Ghost Emperor didn't utter a single word. Even though his eyes were bulging, he still fell into a coma under the hammer blow of the Chosen One, Sun Xunyin, amidst extreme resentment and grief.

Once the Southern Ghost Emperor fell into a coma, the rest of the scene needs no further elaboration.

Sun Wukong and his companions were only worried about damaging the physical bodies of the Five Ghost Emperors, not that they were truly afraid of them.

Now that they have successfully gathered the Ghost Emperor together, and Sun Wukong and the others are outnumbered, why be polite?

In the ensuing chaos, Nezha seized the Eastern Ghost Emperor first, then quickly escaped the battlefield and took him to Fengdu City, where he encountered Erlang Shen Yang Jian at the city gate.

·····
Under Hu Xiuwu's divine sense, the entire course of events unfolded in perfect detail, leaving nothing out.

After Luo Fengtian accessed the Underworld, Hu Xiuwu was able to interfere with the Heavenly Dao of the Black Myth world to a certain extent, and trace back the past of the Underworld, just like the Jade Emperor to the Heavenly Court, Laozi to the Tushita Palace, and Buddha to Mount Ling.

The underworld can be seen as Hu Xiuwu's execution ground. In Lingshan, Hu Xiuwu was essentially fighting two against one, but when facing the Buddha, he still had a very difficult time winning that battle.

Therefore, in the final battle, Hu Xiuwu could not allow the Jade Emperor and Laozi to have the advantage of terrain and wait for the enemy to tire themselves out.

Even if it meant using his geographical advantage to take over the execution grounds of the Jade Emperor and Laozi, Hu Xiuwu would not hesitate.

But the key right now is to ensure that the Cold Marrow Spring guards the present world.

Under the watchful eyes of Judge Su He of Longtan and Erlang Shen Yang Jian, a phantom image of a nine-story exquisite pagoda suddenly appeared in the Yama Palace.

Nine stories high, at the top and bottom of the tower, at the upper and lower ends, two invisible energies, black and white, converge. The black energy resembles the primordial Yin energy of Doumu Yuanjun.

The Taiyin God, who was hiding in the underworld and digesting the primordial Yin Qi, suddenly felt a tightness on his scalp, as if someone had quietly pulled out a few hairs.

Upon opening his eyes, he found nothing had happened, so he didn't bother to investigate further. Instead, he hid himself even deeper, concealing himself beneath the deep sea of ​​Yin Qi in the Nine Netherworld, so that no one would disturb him again.

The white qi is clear, hot, and righteous, and is undoubtedly the primordial yang qi, on par with the primordial yin qi.

The primordial Yin and Yang energies converge in the tower, with the golden bodies of six Taiyi Golden Immortals at the core, swirling and chasing each other, resembling two dragons playing with a pearl, or a giant mill grinding beans.

The golden bodies of the six Taiyi Golden Immortals gradually melted away under the pursuit and crushing force of the primordial Yin and Yang energies.

Without the aid of the Innate Demon Refining Tower, Hu Xiuwu was already able to condense Qi into a tower and summon Yin and Yang Qi on his own to perform true Qianxuan Creation.

The Great Emperor of Fengdu Beiyin, along with the Five Ghost Emperors, were honed into a spiritual mass imbued with the aura of the underworld and primordial spiritual essence within the Great Millstone of Primordial Yin and Yang.

Unlike before, Hu Xiuwu did not refine them into the most primitive, pure spiritual essence without any special characteristics.

He deliberately preserved a bit of the original flavor of the ingredients.

This is the only way to let people know that they are the Ghost Emperors.
