I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

"Fellow immortals, even the Emperor is not confident in freely entering and leaving the extremes of heaven and earth, which shows how dangerous this place is. Therefore, please let Xiangzi go alone. If he can rescue his mother, it will be a great blessing; if he cannot, it will be the will of heaven."

At this moment, Han Xiangzi suddenly bowed deeply to the immortals and said sincerely.

Tieguai Li took a deep breath and waved his hand, saying, "Xiangzi, don't worry. The extreme of heaven and earth is not an execution ground. Your mother should be fine in a short time. We must not panic."

"Brother Li is right."

Zhongli Quan shook the precious fan in his hand and said sincerely, "Let's go to Heaven together and ask Laozi for advice. Perhaps he will have a solution."

Han Xiangzi remained silent, not daring to have too high hopes for it.

The reason is simple: the money curse on Cao Guojiu completely dispelled his illusions about Laozi, making him realize that this sage was not omnipotent.

And indeed, just as he had expected, after the group passed through the dimensional gate and entered the Tushita Palace, Laozi, sitting cross-legged before the enormous alchemy furnace, sighed softly in response to Tieguai Li's account of the situation:
"As far as I know, apart from very few and very special cases, only sages can freely enter and exit the extremes of heaven and earth. I am merely the benevolent corpse of the Supreme Sage, and do not possess the strength of a sage."

Despite being mentally prepared, Han Xiangzi was still inevitably somewhat disappointed. He suddenly turned around, knelt down in front of the immortals, and kowtowed, saying, "Everyone, I'm sorry, I may not be able to work with you to eliminate the Tongtian Sect."

As the immortals fell silent, Lü Dongbin suddenly said, "Xiangzi, I'll go with you!"

Han Xiangzi was deeply moved, but waved his hand repeatedly: "No, if we really can't get out in the end, it's fine if I'm sealed here forever, but how can I implicate you?"

"Where righteousness leads, I will not regret even if I die a hundred times," Lü Dongbin said without hesitation.

With tears in his eyes, Han Xiangzi clasped his hands and said, "Thank you, Brother Dongbin."

"What a fine example of putting righteousness first! Count me in!"

"Count me in as Tieguai Li."

"Count me in, Lan Cai!"

All the immortals, including Cao Guojiu, spoke up. Faced with this situation where there was a possibility of no return, not one of them backed down.

Seeing this, Qin Yao suddenly felt that unless Hongjun had gone mad, this rescue operation would definitely not be a one-way trip.

Otherwise, if all eight immortals were trapped within the extreme of heaven and earth, how could he write the destiny story in his wordless heavenly book?
We can't just lift the restrictions on the saints and let them return from the outer heavens to the three realms, can we?

However, since the Eight Immortals had decided to enter the extreme of heaven and earth, he couldn't just wait outside.

After all, if the Eight Immortals were to appear only after several thousand years, wouldn't I have to wait for several thousand years?
Moreover, through Houtu Niangniang's words on another timeline, we can learn that by the time of Emperor Renzong of Song, she was no longer in this world and it was almost impossible for her to be trapped at the ends of heaven and earth for too long!
Thinking of this, Qin Yao smiled and said to Laozi, "Then please send the nine of us to the ends of the earth."

"You're going too?" Lao Jun asked in surprise.

As the saying goes, a wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall, and this is especially true for emperors.

It is quite illogical for Yang Jian, the King of the Underworld and the Emperor of Fengdu, to take the initiative to go on an adventure with the Eight Immortals.

Qin Yao nodded and said, "Since I began cultivating the Dao, I have been full of variables and often do things that break the rules."

Since no one has ever been able to emerge from the extremes of heaven and earth before, this must be the norm. Perhaps I can, just as I have broken other norms, create a way for the Eight Immortals to survive.

Laozi: "..."

After hearing these words, not only the Eight Immortals, but even he was somewhat moved.

This is true righteousness! There is no worry about one's own safety, only the determination to fight a way out for one's friend!

"Your Majesty, I appreciate your kindness, but I sincerely hope that you will not venture to the ends of the earth."

The Three Realms can exist without Han Xiangzi, or even without the Eight Immortals, but they cannot exist without the Emperor of Fengdu.

After realizing what had happened, Han Xiangzi said with a deeply moved expression.

Qin Yao waved his hand: "No need to say more. If we don't deal with the Tongtian Sect, the Underworld won't be able to fight against Heaven. So helping you is also helping myself."

Laozi secretly exhaled, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned a seven-colored treasure ship, about the size of a watermelon, which hovered in the air in front of everyone:

"Iron-Crutch Li, you cast a spell to propel this ship; it will take you to the entrance to the ends of the earth."

Remember, once you reach the entrance, make sure to check if Ms. Fei is inside first, to avoid being tricked into going in only to find her missing.

"Thank you, Laozi!" everyone said in unison.

In the blink of an eye.

The group of nine walked out of the Tushita Palace side by side. Tieguai Li used magic to enlarge the seven-colored boat countless times and raised his hand, saying, "Fellow immortals, please board the boat."

"Let's board the ship together." Qin Yao smiled and took to the air.

The seven immortals immediately lifted up Cao Guojiu and followed him into the ship.

As Tieguai Li infused it with immortal energy, the ship instantly transformed into a streak of light and shot into the sky.

Several long hours later.

The seven-colored ship finally arrived at the deepest part of the universe and stopped in front of a constantly rotating circular entrance.

The immortals all focused their gazes, and saw that the circular object was actually a series of law runes, each containing an extremely terrifying power...

"Mother, are you inside?"

Han Xiangzi pursed his lips and suddenly shouted towards the round gate.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a voice came from inside the gate: "The eldest son's branch? Is it the eldest son's branch?"

Han Xiangzi paused slightly, then said, "Mother, it's me. Wait a little longer, I'll come and rescue you right away."

“Okay, be careful,” Mrs. Fei replied immediately.

Han Xiangzi stopped shouting and turned to Tieguai Li: "Fellow Immortal, let's just sail the boat in."

Tieguai Li smiled and nodded, then used magic to propel the seven-colored boat, crashing headlong into the constantly rotating law talisman gate.

Without any sense of impact or even the slightest shock, the seven-colored ship easily broke through the talisman gate and appeared above a desolate land.

But when the immortals looked back, they could not see the portal they had come from...

Then they looked around and saw that the sky was gray, the ground was gray, and even the grass and trees were gray. Only they, the outsiders, and the ship beneath their feet remained in color.

"The eldest son's family, the eldest son's family."

Suddenly, shouts came from below, echoing in everyone's ears.

"Mother." Han Xiangzi's gaze quickly locked onto Fei's mother in the gray world, and he stepped into the void, gracefully descending.

Tieguai Li was sensible and worldly-wise, so he did not immediately follow the mother and son down the spaceship. Instead, he waited until the mother and son below had calmed down before slowly lowering the spaceship.

"Greetings to the Emperor, and greetings to all the celestial beings."

Upon recognizing them, Fei's mother quickly bowed and thanked them.

Qin Yao waved his hand and said, "Xiangzi, bring your mother up." Han Xiangzi nodded, took his mother's arm, and flew onto the divine ship with her.

"Can we go out now?" Mrs. Fei asked happily.

Han Xiangzi shook his head: "There's not even a door, how can we get out?"

Madam Fei's smile froze, then she turned to look at Qin Yao: "Your Majesty?"

Qin Yao raised his hand to cast a spell, summoning a dimensional gate, but only a few sparks of fire burst forth in front of him, unable to form a gate at all.

He then tried to activate the Heaven and Earth Mystic Gate, but it failed to appear here. He then said, "As expected, no portal can be opened here."

Fei's mother: "..."

Does this mean they knew they couldn't get out once they came in, but they still came in to save themselves?
Thinking of this, Fei's mother panicked and hurriedly said, "Is there no other way? It's one thing for me to be trapped here, but you can't be trapped here!"

"Don't worry, there will definitely be a way," Qin Yao reassured him.

"If I could become an immortal here, and the Eight Immortals could unite, could I break through the barrier?" Cao Guojiu suddenly asked.

Qin Yao nodded: "This is a path... Here, the world loses its color, and there are no other material temptations. You can try to meditate here, resolve the financial calamity, and break the golden curse."

Cao Guojiu nodded slightly, looked down, and pointed to a pool of water, saying, "Could some fellow immortal please escort me to that pool? I wish to meditate here."

"Let me do it."

He Xiangu grabbed Cao Guojiu's wrist and quickly flew down to the edge of the pond with him.

"Besides that, please take another good look and think carefully about how to leave," Tieguai Li said, turning to the assembled immortals.

Lan Caihe looked up at the gray sky and murmured, "If we keep flying upwards, can we fly out of this world?"

"I doubt it."

Lü Dongbin said rationally, "After all, if it were so easy to leave, what would be the reason that gods and demons are trapped here?"

"We have to give it a try, and if it doesn't work, we can try something else." Tieguai Li said, and then shouted down, "Fairy, don't come up yet. Stay down here and protect Cao Guojiu. Let's fly up and try."

On the gray ground, He Xiangu responded loudly, "Okay, be careful on your journey."

Tieguai Li took a deep breath and immediately steered the seven-colored boat upwards, continuing to travel at high speed.

In the blink of an eye, the ground began to blur and quickly turned into a vast gray sky. The people on the ship could not see the sky above or the ground below, and there were no reference points around them. It was as if they had entered a gray fog.

After an unknown amount of time, Tieguai Li's magical power was nearing exhaustion, so he hurriedly called upon his fellow immortals to take his place.

They continued flying for a long time, taking turns in this manner. However, even when the six immortals' magical powers were nearly exhausted and their recovery was not yet complete, they still had not reached the end of the sky.

Seeing this, Qin Yao immediately took control of the spaceship and piloted it to land on the ground.

If they continue to be so stubborn, and even they find themselves in short supply, they might just fall from the highest point in the sky.

half an hour.

The spaceship returned to the gray land. Tieguai Li glanced at the two people before the lake and sighed:
"It's not that easy after all. By the same token, burrowing underground should be about the same, or even worse."

Qin Yao pursed his lips and said, "Let's think of another way."

Beyond the polar regions.

Tongtian Island.

Under the bright sunlight, Crocodile Ancestor led his demon horde into the temple, grinning as he said:
"Master, it has been ten years, and the Emperor of Fengdu and the Eight Immortals still have not come out of the polar region. It is clear that they have been completely trapped inside."

On the high throne, Tongtian smiled slightly, raised his hand and summoned the Xuan Tian Nine Transformations Manual, which was then pushed in front of him: "Well done, you can all share this manual."

Crocodile Ancestor: "..."

He had originally planned to maintain their small group by sharing the secret manual, but Tongtian directly allowed them to share it, so his role in it was naturally reduced to the minimum.

"What's wrong? You seem unhappy?" Tongtian asked calmly.

Crocodile Ancestor immediately came to his senses and hurriedly said, "No, no, I'm very happy..."

Tongtian nodded and said, "From this day forward, you will lead them and the disciples of the Tongtian Sect to begin expansion. First, occupy all the waters of the human world, and then invade the four continents. I will turn the entire human world into the territory of the Tongtian Sect, and divide the Three Realms with the Jade Emperor and Houtu."

"Here."

A mad glint flashed in Crocodile Ancestor's eyes as he bowed and spoke.

half a month later.

Qin Yao's Zhang Wuge clone, who was living in seclusion on an island, was the first to discover the Tongtian Sect's massive expansion. He quickly took two maids and fled to the Southern Continent.

Meanwhile, Qingwei's clone, who was stationed in the Southern Continent, issued an order for all disciples of the Shu Mountain Sect to disperse and hide in the world, awaiting a summons.

They even went so far as to seal off Mount Shu, leaving countless powerful figures from various immortal sects in the Earthly Immortal Realm completely baffled.

Soon after, the same thing happened to the Demon Alliance in Xiniu Hezhou. They left their people behind and their forces disappeared from the world in a short period of time. Many of their branches were completely deserted.

The demons of Xiniu Hezhou didn't understand the Demon Alliance's actions, but they were happy to see this scene and began to seize the Demon Alliance's strongholds.

The Western Paradise.

The Buddha received the news immediately, remained silent for a long time, and then sighed softly, "A calamity indeed."

Kasyapa humbly asked, "Buddha, what kind of calamity is this?"

"Demon Calamity".

The Buddha said, "The human world is going to be in a state of decline for some time. I hope that the Tongtian Sect Leader will remember that he is a saint of Taoism."

Ananda then asked, "How should our Buddhist community respond?"

After a moment of contemplation, Buddha slowly spoke: "Let's close the mountain for now. This is an internal strife within the Taoist sect. Our Buddhist sect has no obligation to help them eliminate the demonic calamity. In any case, as long as the Tongtian Sect Leader hasn't lost his mind, he won't attack my Mount Ling."

"Yes, sir." The two Venerable Ones responded in unison.

Three months later.

After the Limitless Whale swallowed all the immortal islands in the sea and incorporated all the immortals on these islands, the Tongtian Sect suddenly had a grand scene of "ten thousand immortals coming to pay homage", and its popularity was unparalleled for a time.

In this situation, Tongtian instructed his followers to strike while the iron was hot, to land on the four continents from the sea, and to begin indiscriminately attacking all sects, expanding rapidly like a bulldozer.

Countless sects lost both their people and land due to this expansion, and some were even wiped out.

At this point, someone finally remembered that Mount Shu had disbanded its disciples and closed its doors to the public. However, when they tried to follow suit, they had already missed the best opportunity to evacuate, making it difficult to safely break up into smaller groups.

The mortal and celestial realms were thus plunged into chaos. Upon discovering this, the patrolling spirit official rushed to the celestial realm, only to find that the Jade Pool was still a scene of peace and prosperity, with the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother enjoying celestial wines, chatting and laughing in a harmonious atmosphere...
