Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 968: Prince Jiancheng and the Thirty-Six Princes

The immortals and gods in the heavenly court, even those Daluo, the Buddhas of Buddhism, the celestial masters of Xuanmen, and even those races from ancient times, will surely join in the game!

The flame brought by the spread of Buddhism to the East will burn more fiercely than ever before.

Under such a fierce situation, all changes and developments will be natural.

"If it is the plan of His Majesty the Emperor of Tang, then all we need to consider is how to get those powerful outsiders to join the game."

The Jade Emperor said this, his eyes falling on Ao Bing.

There have always been strong men from outside the domain lurking in Pan Tian - however, due to the special nature of Pan Tian itself, and the vigilance of Pan Tian's strong men against outsiders, as well as many other reasons, those outsiders in Pan Tian are only at the level of Taiyi.

It can be said that there is not a single Daluo who dares to step into Pantian!

The Jade Emperor's game was clearly an invitation to those powerful people outside the domain who were at the Daluo level or even above Daluo - but it did not mean that others would gladly join the game just because he made the invitation.

This requires a lot of thought.

And the most important thing is the portal to Pan Tian.

“The Forty-Nine Heavens Palace will move accordingly.” Mi Pei nodded.

When the four directions of heaven and earth had just touched each other and had not yet merged with each other, Mi Pei used the thirty-six Dinghai Pearls to open up the Forty-Nine Sky Palaces. They served as the four pillars of Pan Tian and also as the four gates of Pan Tian, ​​locking Pan Tian's external passages.

Under the blockade of the Forty-Nine Heavens Palace, the immortals and gods of Pantian find it difficult to set foot outside the domain, and the strong men from outside the domain also find it difficult to set foot in Pantian.

If an aura from outside the domain were to appear in Pan Tian, ​​the Forty-Nine Heavenly Palaces would be suppressed accordingly - even Daluo would not be able to withstand the pressure of the Forty-Nine Heavenly Palaces, let alone those below Daluo.

Those thirty-six Dinghai Pearls were originally the most top-level innate spiritual treasures between heaven and earth - when the thirty-six Dinghai Pearls are combined into one, their power is no less than that of the five directions, five elements, and five colors flags.

In addition, now that Ao Bing has achieved Daluo, the Forty-Nine Heaven Palaces formed by the thirty-six Dinghai Pearls have naturally become more mysterious.

With the blockade of the Forty-Nine Heaven Palaces, the powerful people at the Daluo level from outside the domain have become more cautious about stepping into Pantian.

……

Heaven, the human world, and the underworld - among the three, the situation in the underworld can be said to be the most "chaotic".

The underworld, which governs the netherworld, was created after the ancient ghosts and gods gave up their authority.

The ghost gods and ghost messengers in the underworld, their connection with the underworld, and their strength in the underworld are far from comparable to those of the original ancient ghosts and gods.

In addition, in the underworld today, there are the Ten Kings of Hell, the Six Paths Dharma Masters, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva... Above them, there is the Emperor of Dongyue, etc...

The overlapping powers and responsibilities and the mutual constraints have meant that today's underworld's control over the netherworld is far less than in the past.

In other words, the weakness and flaws in the Netherworld's control over the netherworld are what the Heavenly Court, the gods, and the Buddhists and Taoists want to see. Otherwise, as before, the Queen Mother Hou Tu is in charge of the Great Samsara, the five ghost emperors rotate the five directions, and Yulei Shentu of Mount Dushuo monitors the Yin and Yang...

That kind of underworld transcends all living beings between heaven and earth and operates according to its own rules... That kind of underworld is too terrifying.

Now it is just right like this.

Because the control of the underworld today is not as strong as before, many ghosts in the underworld have escaped the control of the underworld and are looking for places to occupy and become the kings of the mountains.

Those heroes who dominated the human world set foot in the underworld, recruited their old subordinates, and waved their flags. After those evil ghosts, soldier ghosts, etc. formed a battle formation, they were invincible. There were even some ghost kings who went to plunder the underworld.

The underworld is powerless to do anything about this - the ancient ghosts and gods in the Netherworld who have given up their power are too lazy to care.

Even if Zhao Zilong, who is following the will of the Five Ghost Emperors of the ancient times, is patrolling in the underworld, he will not pay any attention to the Ghost Kings of the Ghost Kingdom - as long as those Ghost Kings do not try to cross the boundary of Yin and Yang and step into the human world, Zhao Zilong will naturally not see them.

He is like this, and so are other powerful people between heaven and earth.

The territories of the ghost kingdoms in the underworld and the strength of the ghost kings are naturally closely related to the situation in the human world.

These ghosts are rarely worshipped, and it is difficult for them to practice, so their strength depends entirely on the impression made by humans about them - the older they are, the weaker they are.

It is precisely for this reason that many immortals and gods between heaven and earth are too lazy to care about the existence of these ghost kingdoms and ghost kings - as long as they are left there, these ghost kingdoms, ghost kings, etc. will gradually weaken and then dissipate...

And before they dissipate, these disturbing ghost kings are also very useful chess pieces.

Now, the most famous and powerful ghost kings in the underworld are naturally the princes who competed with Li Tang for the world before the founding of the Li Tang Dynasty and then were defeated.

Li Tang was a dynasty founded through war and with great momentum, and it was established after defeating all the princes. Therefore, the rulers and ministers of Li Tang did not mind at all if their subjects mentioned or even exaggerated the strength of those princes.

Even happy to see it happen.

After all, the more this is the case, the more it demonstrates Li Tang's power.

As for the power of the ghost kings in the underworld, it all depends on the impression given to them by the human world - therefore, under the promotion and indulgence of Li Tang, the strength of those defeated princes was greatly exaggerated. When this happened in the underworld, even the ghost kings in the underworld appeared to be extremely powerful!
The thirty-five princes who vied with Li Tang for the world were heroes when they were on earth, and they were also heroes after they died and went to the underworld.

The thirty-six princes who had not been forgotten, after arriving in the underworld, also established extremely powerful ghost kingdoms and were able to run rampant in the underworld.

——Originally, these thirty-six princes were the thirty-six strongest ghost countries in the underworld.

But unfortunately, Li Shimin ascended the throne by extremely brutal means - Crown Prince Jiancheng and Prince of Qi Yuanji also appeared in the underworld because of this and became the two ghost kings in the underworld.

Let’s not mention King Yuanji of Qi.

But Prince Jiancheng - he is by no means a mediocre person!
When he was alive, he was able to firmly suppress Li Shimin, and was able to deprive Li Shimin of his power bit by bit when Li Shimin almost controlled all the military power. In the end, he forced Li Shimin to take a risk.

——Even though Li Yuan sided with him during this process, the bravery and excellence of Crown Prince Jiancheng himself cannot be ignored.

Even now, Jiancheng has been dead for a long time, and Li Shimin has become the emperor of mankind with his own achievements, but in the world, there are still many people who miss Prince Jiancheng and wonder whether he will do better than Li Shimin after he ascends the throne!
Under such circumstances, one can imagine how powerful Prince Jiancheng is after he stepped into the underworld and turned into the Ghost King!

After arriving in the underworld, he directly raised the banner of Ghost Tang in the identity of Prince Jiancheng. He gathered all the evil ghosts and soldiers who died in Li Tang's wars and were left in the underworld, and established a new ghost country.

After this ghost country was established, the thirty-six ghost kings who were extremely noisy in the underworld all set their sights on Prince Jiancheng.

Prince Jiancheng used the power of this country to fight against the thirty-six ghost kings in a spectacular manner.

On this day, when Prince Jiancheng once again repelled the coalition forces of thirty-six ghost kings, a paper man appeared in front of his Ghost King Palace.

"Who dares to peek here?" Luo Yi pointed with a gun.

In the palace, Prince Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's eyes fell on the paper mannequin.

"Greetings to Crown Prince Jiancheng, and greetings to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi." The paper figure bowed.

In the palace, the ghost king forms of Crown Prince Jiancheng and Li Yuanji still retained the same appearance they had before their death.

Prince Jiancheng's head was pierced.

The head of Qi Wang Yuanji was chopped off and held in one hand. "May I ask, Prince, do you still remember the King of Qin?" the paper figurine said straight to the point.

As soon as the word "King of Qin" came out, an extremely ferocious ghost energy began to rage in the Ghost King's Palace, almost tearing the paper man into pieces.

"Let the prince know that a strange thing happened in Chang'an yesterday."

"It is said that the current emperor was entangled by the prince in a dream."

"But I wonder what the prince thinks about this matter?"

"I wish I could lead my troops back to the mortal world!" Prince Jiancheng said coldly, "If it is really me in his dream, that would be great."

"It sounds like the prince really wants to enter the Qin King's dream?" The paper man stretched out his finger and gently pushed away Luo Yi's spear.

"What if I want to, what if I don't want to?" Prince Jiancheng tried hard to restrain the anger in his heart.

"If the prince is interested, I can really let the prince go to the King of Qin's dream." There was a smile on the face of the paper man.

"Oh?" Prince Jiancheng's head moved directly in front of the paper man.

"I, the prince, do not believe you can do this."

"This matter is naturally extremely difficult - or, it should be impossible."

"After all, he is no longer the King of Qin, but the Emperor of Man."

"But it just so happened that yesterday, he said it himself, and was entangled by the prince in his dream."

"The emperor of men speaks with golden words."

"Since he said this himself, then it is possible that the prince entered his dream."

"And I can turn this possibility into reality." As the paper man said this, flames suddenly started burning on his hands.

There is a breath of humanity flowing in the flames.

After a moment, the flames went out, and half of the paper man's body turned into ashes.

Prince Jiancheng looked at the ashes left by the burning paper man and wiped them lightly.

"What do you want?" Prince Jiancheng asked in a daze after a moment's silence.

"I do not want anything."

"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is interested, he can just make a scene in the Emperor Tang's dream."

"If I could break into reality from the dream, that would be even better."

As the paper man spoke, the flames started burning again, and in a moment, the remaining half of the body also turned into ashes.

Prince Jiancheng picked up the ashes...

The ashes were like a mirror, reflecting the scenes of the human world, the prosperity of Chang'an, and the solemnity of the imperial palace in the underworld.

"what!"

"what!"

"Hahahahahahahahaha!" Looking at the mirror formed by paper ashes, Prince Jiancheng burst into laughter. His voice became wilder and wilder, and more and more crazy.

"Then let's have a complete commotion!"

"My dear brother, I'm here to see you!" Prince Jiancheng moved his sleeves suddenly and covered the paper ashes.

"Luo Yi, go and invite all the thirty-six ghost kings over."

"Just say that I have something great that I want to share with them!"

……

Night slowly falls on the earth.

In the city of Chang'an, taking advantage of Jiancheng's dream, the emperor and his ministers in the court cleaned up the imperial palace and the Imperial Observatory!
Although this is the era of the Human Emperor - the authority of the Human Emperor cannot fall on every mortal in the world.

The aristocratic families that had been passed down since the Han Dynasty replaced the imperial power and the court and controlled every aspect of the people's lives.

The dispute between the aristocratic families and the imperial power was also manifested in every corner of the Tang Dynasty.

This time, because of the matter of Crown Prince Jiancheng, the Tang Emperor and his ministers severely suppressed those aristocratic families and cut off most of their tentacles that had extended into the imperial palace!

"After the aristocratic families, it's the Xuanmen."

"No matter which lineage it is, it is always bad for one to dominate."

"It's just right, I can use Buddhism to balance the power of Xuanmen." Li Shimin thought, "Since Jiancheng has said that he entered a dream, there must be a solution."

"Otherwise, if it gets out, wouldn't it be considered that I am deliberately causing trouble?"

"After cleaning up the Imperial Observatory today, tomorrow we will simply invite the Buddhist monks in Chang'an City to hold a water and land ceremony to appease the countless dead souls in Chang'an City."

Li Shimin pondered.

Chang'an City is an extremely special city - it is the capital of several dynasties and the heart of humanity.

Amid the turmoil of humanity, it is difficult for the heavenly court to set eyes on this place, and it is also difficult for the ghost messengers from the underworld to set foot here.

Therefore, although this is the place where humanity is most important, in fact, in this city of Chang'an, the number of souls who remain in the world of the living and who are reluctant to leave, as well as the number of souls who are forcibly detained in the world of the living by some magic, is beyond imagination.

If we could use the water and land ceremonies of Buddhism and Taoism to bring those dead souls into reincarnation, it would not be a bad thing.

"I don't know how those two people in heaven are preparing?" At night, Li Shimin slowly stepped into his dream.

And in his dream, weapons and cavalry suddenly appeared.

"My dear brother, I'm here to see you!"

Amid the sounds of swords and horses, a voice that was so familiar to Li Shimin that he could never forget it rang out.
