I searched for corpses in the Wuding River to extract entries

A hazy and dim beam of light slowly shone out from the shadow of the world behind Xie Que.

It was not until this moment that Mustard Seed had the opportunity to get a glimpse of the true face of that world.

Her sight passed through the hazy beam of light and went deep into that world.

She clearly saw the mountains, rivers and streams in that world appear before her one by one.

The towering mountains, the winding rivers, everything seems so real and yet so far away.

In the sky, light snowflakes are slowly falling, adding a touch of tranquility and mystery to the world.

However, compared to the real world, something seems to be missing here.

Although the mountains and rivers are vast, they are deserted, just like the wastelands in the north of the Great Wall, where not a single hair grows within a thousand miles.

Although the river was clear and you could see the bottom, there was not a single fish to be found.

This world seems to be shrouded in a dead aura.

A strong curiosity surged in Mustard Seed's heart.

She couldn't help but let a trace of her soul slowly go deeper into that illusory world.

However, just as her soul touched that world, she suddenly felt endless death energy surging towards her.

"The star of destiny!"

Jiezi was shocked and his expression changed suddenly.

She hurriedly used her magical powers to try to protect her soul from the invasion of deathly aura.

It's just that the dead air seems to be everywhere, penetrating every hole.
Moreover, the impact not only contained the aura of death, but also a strong and gloomy atmosphere.

This breath instantly shattered her defensive thoughts and caught her off guard.

At the same time, Mustard suddenly felt as if an invisible iron chain was tightly binding her body.

The iron chain shone with a cold light, not only blocking her freedom of movement, but also sealing off all the spiritual power in her body.

"What the hell is this thing..." Mustard was shocked, with confusion and fear intertwined.

Just as she had this thought, a ghost-like being suddenly appeared before her eyes.

The figure was covered in black armor, and a creepy bull-head mask concealed his true face, leaving only a pair of eyes that flickered with a faint light.

He chuckled, and there was an indescribable weirdness in his voice.

During this smile, Jiezi felt that his soul seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, and was instantly pulled thousands of miles away by the iron chain.

Her pupils shrank as she looked at the flag in front of her. Three words suddenly popped up in her mind:

"The soul-calling banner..."

An extremely cold and deadly feeling suddenly filled Jiezi's heart, and the feeling seemed to freeze her soul.

What frightened her even more was that endless illusions began to appear before her eyes.
She soon realized that these were not simple illusions.

She could truly feel that these were all condensed by true faith and belief, but had not yet been fully transformed into reality.

Mustard seed knew very well that if some more time passed, these illusions would become reality.

At this moment, a gloomy and terrifying picture slowly unfolded before Mustard's eyes.

Ghost Gate, Yellow Spring Road, Naihe Bridge, Forget River, Red Spider Flower, Three Lives Stone...

And in this gloomy underworld, endless ghost soldiers and ghost officials are busy shuttling among the numerous ghost shadows.

Their figures are elusive, imprisoning the souls of the dead who come from nowhere.

These ghosts were pulled by them, flew into the sky, and finally disappeared in the huge, slowly rotating millstone.

The millstone was like a deep black hole, emitting an aura that frightened her.

The moment Mustard's eyes touched the millstone, she suddenly felt that the vitality in her body was completely drawn in by an invisible force.

A feeling of drowning came over her, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

At this critical moment, Xie Que keenly noticed the abnormality of mustard seeds.

He shook his head slightly, and then he used the Millstone of Life and Death to take back the five netherworld energies that were entangled with Mustard Seed's soul.

All of a sudden, the crisis of life and death that was about to happen suddenly disappeared from Mustard Seed's body like a tide.

She felt as if she had been pulled back from the brink of death and regained life.

Because of the life-and-death terror he had just experienced, Mustard began to gasp for breath.
She also didn't expect that she would encounter such a horrific situation even though her spirit had only penetrated deep into it.

Thinking about what he had just seen and felt, Mustard took a deep breath of air, trying to calm his turbulent heart.

However, her heart was still shaken, and she murmured to herself:

"The underworld... the netherworld... I actually saw these legendary existences with my own eyes."

Her thoughts were in a mess: "So... is it a real underworld, or is it just Kurokawa Takeshi's magical power?"

Jiezi originally wanted to use her qi-gazing technique to find out the truth, but when she recalled the life-and-death experience that her soul had witnessed before, she shuddered involuntarily.

That feeling of being on the verge of death seemed to still linger in her mind, leaving her with lingering fears.

She knew very well that if she used the art of looking into the underworld, the result would not be much better than before.

At this moment, Mustard's thoughts couldn't help but drift back to the past.

She remembered a result she had predicted, which was that Nichiren Shinto had obscured Yingzhou, causing confusion in the moral order of life and death.

The souls of the dead cannot be reincarnated in an orderly manner, but the living may awaken their memories of past lives.

Are all these things related to the underworld she saw today?
"Could it be that this Kurokawa Takeshi has inherited the will of the underworld and has come here specifically to restore the order of life and death in Yingzhou to normal?"

Jiezi was shocked. Once this thought came to her mind, she felt that her guess was very likely.

It seems that the existence of Takeshi Kurokawa is not what she had previously imagined. He is an ancient powerful being who has been hiding since the Earthly Immortal Realm and has survived to this day.

On the contrary, it is more likely that this mysterious Takeshi Kurokawa is actually the incarnation of a certain underworld official.

Such an explanation not only reasonably explains the terrifying power possessed by Takeshi Kurokawa, but also clarifies his appearance and purpose.

If this speculation is true, then everything makes sense.

This can also reasonably explain why Nichiren Shinto has never appeared in the world until now.

It is very likely that some high-ranking bosses in the underworld have warned him or given him some form of warning, forcing him to remain in seclusion.

Mustard seed knew very well that although Nichiren God was powerful, he was still not comparable to those top beings in the former earthly immortal world, or in the broader Buddhist world.

Moreover, Nichiren Shinto himself still devoutly believes in Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Then the underworld officials undoubtedly possess even more immeasurable power.

Thinking of this, Mustard Seed couldn't help but start to speculate secretly,
Who is the reincarnation of this mysterious Takeshi Kurokawa?
After all, even in the unfathomable underworld, there are probably only those high-ranking Yama Kings and higher-level figures.

Only then could one master such amazing magical powers, and even be able to summon the underworld to descend upon the earth.

At the same time, Mustard was secretly glad in his heart.

It was that sudden intuition that made her choose to stand on the side of Kurokawa Takeshi and decide to join forces with him to deal with Qianye Zhenlong. If not, she would probably be locked up by the iron chain and walk on the gloomy and terrifying Yellow Spring Road.

On the other side, after Xie Que escaped from the beam of light,
The originally dazzling beam of light above the sky seemed to have lost its target and gradually dissipated.

However, the sky was not calm at this moment.

Thunderclouds rolled and gathered in the sky, looking like a huge vertical pupil.

It is high above, overlooking everything in the world.

"Finally he showed up. Let me take a good look at how far this incomplete Heavenly Dao can go!"

Xie Que looked up fearlessly, his eyes fixed on the pupil in the thundercloud.

At the same time, thunderclouds gathered around the huge pupil in the sky, rolling and surging, and the color became increasingly darker.

Black flames began to entangle the divine thunder, and in just a moment, a roar that shocked the world erupted.

The thunderclouds also began to boil at this moment, like an enraged beast, constantly spreading outward and covering the entire sky.

Not only that, above the sky, electric snakes were dancing, flashing dazzling light, and the black flames wrapped around the divine thunder were burning more and more wildly.

Facing this earth-shattering punishment, Xie Que showed no fear.

He smiled slightly, and his body went straight into the violent thunder and fire punishment.

"That's a punishment from heaven..."

Jiezi covered her mouth, her eyes wide open, as if she couldn't believe what she saw. She had never seen anyone dare to face the divine punishment like this.

When Xie Que rushed into the heavenly punishment, a huge millstone appeared outside his body.

At this moment, he actually took out the real body of the Millstone of Life and Death that was located in the underworld.

This millstone absorbed countless dead air and transformed countless living things into nutrients for the underworld. Its growth rate far exceeded Xie Que's imagination.

The power of the Millstone of Life and Death today is not outdated at all even if it is used by the original body.

On both sides of this huge millstone, two different auras can be clearly seen swirling.

On one side are the five vital energies including the heart, liver, and kidney.

On the other side are the five dark energies in the underworld.

These ten cyclones revolve around the millstone, and any force will be worn away by them.

The Millstone of Life and Death directly blocked out the violent heavenly punishment, making it impossible for the scorching thunder and fire to get close to his body.

However, God did not seem to intend to give up.

A brilliant divine light began to condense within that huge vertical pupil.

The next moment, a beam of light ten feet long penetrated the dense thunderclouds and shot straight towards Xie Que like a giant silver dragon.

At this moment, the entire sky seemed to light up.

Xie Que felt a strong sense of coercion at the first moment.

He could clearly feel that this divine light contained a vast amount of world power, and its power was great enough to destroy everything.

If it really penetrated him, his body and soul would probably be severely damaged and he would lose most of his strength.

He concentrated his mind and gathered his energy, and the millstone of life and death unfolded into a painting under his control.

In this painting, it seems as if countless wronged souls are howling in despair.

Their voices were mournful and plaintive, as if coming from the depths of hell.
At the same time, there was also the scolding of ghosts and gods.

At the same time, the magical weapon condensed from the five elements of the underworld gradually condensed out from the Millstone of Life and Death.

The mourning stick, the soul-beating whip, the soul-calling banner, the judge's pen, the soul-binding lock, the book of life and death, the Yama seal...

These legendary divine soldiers of the underworld appeared one by one under the reflection of the Millstone of Life and Death, exuding a chilling murderous intent.

For a moment, this terrifying killing intent flowed out like a torrent.

It actually caused the divine light to pause slightly, as if it felt an unprecedented threat.

In a flash of Xie Que's thought, numerous divine weapons swarmed forward and completely wiped out the divine light with overwhelming force.

It was only at this moment that Xie Que looked up at the huge vertical pupil:
"Since you can't kill me, why don't we talk?"

Thunderclouds were still surging around the vertical pupil, but at this moment there was no longer any means of attack ready to be launched.

It seemed that at this moment, Huangtian also felt Xie Que's power and chose to remain silent.

It was not until a moment later that a childish voice was heard in the air.

It reached Xie Que's ears: "I will let you go, and you put away your magical powers."

Xie Que understood that this was the voice of Heaven, and it finally chose to compromise.

Hearing this, Xie Que laughed immediately.

He knew that the Emperor had finally lost his patience, but he did not intend to give up:
"Do you think I won't be able to leave if you don't let me go?"

The voice remained silent in the air for a long time, as if weighing the pros and cons, before finally continuing to respond slowly:

"You can indeed leave, but that woman doesn't have the ability to do so."

Upon hearing this, Xie Que glanced at Jie Zi, whose face had turned pale under the might of heaven, and shrugged slightly, responding in a seemingly relaxed manner:
"She was with Qianye Zhenlong. What does her life or death have to do with me?"

His voice was flat, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

After hearing this, the voice never responded again.

The air fell into silence, with only the sound of rolling thunderclouds and Mustard's faint breathing.

Xie Que smiled slightly, and under his control, the Millstone of Life and Death slowly returned to the underworld.

In an instant, the underworld once again opened up its huge suction force, as if it wanted to take all invisible things in the entire secret realm into it.

It was at this moment that Huang Tian finally spoke again:
"What do you want?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Que raised a smug smile and said slowly:
"It's simple. I want your world to merge with mine."

However, Huang Tian responded without hesitation: "This is impossible."

Xie Que was not surprised, as he knew very well the ruthlessness and decisiveness of heaven.

Although the Heavenly Dao has its own thinking ability, everything it thinks about only revolves around the interests of itself and the world.

If you want to convince someone of the way of heaven, you must exchange it with benefits.

But for Xie Que, he had already thought of an excuse:

"Do you think you have a choice?"

"My world has no will of heaven yet. You can rule it, but you need to be subordinate to me."

"But if you reject me, your final outcome will be the same, you will just be swallowed up by Yingzhou Heavenly Dao."

"But your will...I'm afraid it won't be preserved." (End of this chapter)
