Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 278 Fengdu City and Hell
In the netherworld, the Nine Netherworld cold air was everywhere, like black mist rising and rolling, covering everything. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew, and the pitch-black Nine Netherworld cold air rolled even more violently.

The next moment, as if being pushed away from the middle by someone, the Nine Netherworld cold air in front of Ao Bing retreated to both sides, revealing an empty road that extended forward to the world of the living.

At the same time, streams of yellow turbid water gushed out from underground, quickly covering the passage and turning it into an ochre-colored road.

This is the Yellow Spring Road, where only ghosts can pass. If a living person sets foot in it, he will be swallowed by the Yellow Spring, his body will be worn away bit by bit, and his soul will be imprisoned in it, unable to be reborn forever.

The Yellow Spring surged, constantly devouring the surrounding negative energy, gradually forming a vacuum zone through which ghosts could pass safely.

At the same time, the surrounding Nine Netherworld cold air lingered and piled up together because it did not dare to approach the Yellow Spring, becoming more and more dense, emitting an astonishing chill.

The longer the time goes, the more negative energy accumulates along the Yellow Springs Road, and the stronger the chill it emits becomes, even a Golden Immortal can be frozen to death.

In this way, you only need to wait for a while and you don’t have to worry about the safety of the Yellow Springs Road, nor do you have to worry about ghosts secretly escaping.

Even a golden immortal would freeze to death if he got close, not to mention a ghost without any cultivation. Anyone who dared to leave the Yellow Springs Road would immediately end up with his soul torn apart.

As for those ghosts who spy on ghosts, they can't even get close to the Yellow Springs Road, so naturally they have no chance to attack.

As for beings above the Golden Immortal, they can ignore the cold air near the Yellow Springs Road, but they don't need to attack ordinary ghosts.

Because ordinary ghosts are too weak, even if they devour millions of them, they can't improve their strength much. For this little bit of power, it is not worth taking a huge risk to attack Huangquan Road.

The Yellow Spring surges and turns into the Yellow Spring Road which keeps extending. Its end point is the City God Temple located between the underworld and the world of the living.

Its starting point is under Ao Bing’s feet, which is the future gateway to the underworld, the legendary Ghost Gate.

woo woo woo...

Gusts of cold wind blew by, and suddenly the sound of ghosts howling came from the void.

At the starting point of Huangquan Road, a tall gate tower suddenly rose from the ground. It seemed illusory at first, and then endless clusters of deathly energy surged in from all directions, making the gate tower more and more solid.

Looking closely, one can see that the dark mountain gate is as vast as a universe, with an ancient and vast atmosphere. On the horizontal plaque that looks like blood rust, there are three terrifying characters "Ghost Gate", which attracts attention.

Eighteen ghosts for punishing evil are lined up on both sides of the pass. Each one is green in color, with bared fangs and claws, and their postures are different and vivid.

There are heavy shadows on the side of the pass, the crows are noisy, and the stars are cold and the moon is chilly, giving people a gloomy and terrifying feeling.

This is the Ghost Gate, the gateway to the underworld, and also the end and beginning of the Yellow Springs Road.

All ghosts judged by the City God, no matter whether they are good or evil, will eventually be sent here, enter the underworld through this door, and then be sent to their respective destinations by the underworld's ghost messengers.

And with the birth of Ghost Gate, behind it, a tall and majestic phantom of a ghost town filled with eerie ghostly spirits suddenly rose from the ground and evolved rapidly.

Rumble!
More deathly air surged in from the void, as vast as the ocean, endless, and soon submerged the ghost town.

Enveloped in this deathly aura, the originally illusory ghost town actually solidified at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a few breaths, it was completely born. There was no sense of abruptness at all. It didn't seem like it had just appeared, as if it had always existed in the underworld.

Fengdu City, also known as the City of Wrongful Death, is the place where the netherworld is located. It is the place where ghosts are judged, reincarnation is operated, and the netherworld is governed. It is also the most majestic place in the world, second only to the Heaven.

It is more accurate to say that Fengdu City and Huangquan Road were not built by Ao Bing but were the result of the fear of death of all living beings.

Ao Bing's strength is limited, and it is impossible for him to open up the Yellow Spring Road and Fengdu City in the Netherworld in just a short period of time, but the fear of death of all living beings can do it.

Since the birth of the living creatures, the fear of death has been engraved in their bones and souls. And this fear will continue to deepen as time goes by.

Countless years have passed, and as more and more living creatures are created, their fear of death becomes deeper and deeper.

From ancient times to the present, the fear of death of all living beings combined has given rise to a wish that is immeasurably astonishing and powerful enough to shake the world.

This fear of death among all living beings is concentrated in the underworld.

What Ao Bing has to do is to mobilize this power and turn it from virtual to real, turning it into the Yellow Springs Road to guide ghosts and the Fengdu City to house ghosts.

Because they are the result of the wishes of all living beings, both Fengdu City and the Yellow Springs Road possess the characteristic of immortality.

It can be said that as long as the fear of death is not eliminated among all living beings, the Yellow Springs Road and Fengdu City will continue to exist, and no force will be able to erase them until the end of heaven and earth.

"We have the Yellow Springs Road and Fengdu City. The next step is the most important step, which is to open up the eighteen levels of hell in the netherworld."

"What a coincidence! Before, even if I tried my best, I couldn't create the eighteen levels of hell in the netherworld."

"But now, thanks to the magic path, I have been given a treasure from the Evolution Hell."

Looking at the Fengdu City rising from the ground, Ao Bing first nodded with satisfaction. Then, he looked towards the underground crack not far from Fengdu City, and his expression became strange.

That underground crack was the place he chose to evolve into hell. Under the underground crack, there was an inextinguishable lava flowing, all of which was transformed by Yin Fire and could burn the soul.

In addition, there is cold wind and negative energy underground.

The cold wind blows on the soul, like a blade, and can make it suffer the pain of being cut into pieces. The rising yin energy penetrates the heart and makes people feel miserable.

As long as a ghost enters it, it will be tortured forever. It is no exaggeration to say that this place is a natural hell. It can be put into use with just a little modification.

Of course, the underworld is quite special. It gathers all living beings' fear of death. The environment is extremely harsh, so it is not surprising that there is such a place.

What made Ao Bing look strange was not the underground crack, but the magic treasure that he had snatched from the hands of the demons in Tongtianze - the White Bone Demon Tower.

He didn't notice anything unusual before, but now that the eighteen levels of hell were about to be opened, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

This demonic bone road is divided into eighteen floors. It is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, like an inverted tower. Its function is also related to the soul, and it is specifically used to capture the soul and spirit of a person.

From this perspective, this tower was built to open up the Eighteen Layers of Hell. Or to put it more directly, this White Bone Demon Tower is the Eighteen Layers of Hell.

Just throw it into the underground crack and let it absorb all kinds of disaster energy in the underworld. Then just do nothing and it will spontaneously evolve into the eighteen levels of hell.

"How could there be such a coincidence in the world? When I was preparing to open up the Eighteen Layers of Hell, I happened to have a treasure in my hand that could transform into the Eighteen Layers of Hell." "Perhaps, this is the reward from Heaven for me opening up the Immortal River, giving me the merit of opening up Hell."

Ao Bing vaguely guessed what Tiandao was thinking.

When he opened up the Immortal River, he was blocked by the demonic heroes. This was a test for him. And getting the White Bone Demon Tower and the chance to open up the Eighteen Layers of Hell was the reward for passing the test.

At that time, the Heavenly Dao did not expect that Ao Bing would open up the Eighteen Layers of Hell. But it was not important who opened it up, what was important was the White Bone Demon Tower.

This tower is the key to opening up the Eighteen Levels of Hell. No matter who it is, if they want to open up the Eighteen Levels of Hell, they cannot bypass this tower.

This means that no matter who opens up the Eighteen Layers of Hell, Ao Bing, who controls the White Bone Demon Tower, will eventually get some merit, because without him, hell cannot be opened up.

"Interesting, the Bone Demon Tower is in my hands, which saves me a lot of trouble. Otherwise, I have to find a way to plot against the demons and take the tower from them."

Smiling, Ao Bing had a new understanding of the saying that when the time comes, heaven and earth will work together. As expected, as long as the luck is strong enough, no matter what you do, it will be easy.

If his luck had been worse and he hadn't obtained the White Bone Demon Tower before this, things would have been troublesome.

How could the devil be so easily plotted against? Without strong power, if you rashly plot against the devil, not only will you fail, but you will end up losing more than you gain. In turn, you will be plotted against by the devil, or even lose your life.

Fortunately, what Ao Bing lacks the least now is luck, so everything goes smoothly for him and he hardly encounters any setbacks.

"go with!"

After knowing the function of the White Bone Demon Tower, Ao Bing did not hesitate and directly picked it up and threw it into the underground crack.

The next moment, there was a loud bang, and the rules of the underworld manifested, surrounding the White Bone Demon Tower and falling into the underground crack with it.

Then, silently, the dark red lava beneath the underground cracks disappeared, all of it absorbed by the White Bone Demon Tower.

"coming!"

Suddenly, Ao Bing realized something and focused his attention on the White Bone Demon Tower. At the same time, the shadow of the underworld that recorded the Netherworld Scripture reappeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The part about the eighteen levels of hell shattered silently, condensed into a ball, and turned into a skeleton magic tower, which was exactly the same as the magic tower in the underground crack.

Under the influence of the rules of the Netherworld, the Demonic Bone Tower will combine with the Netherworld and evolve into eighteen small worlds, which are the eighteen levels of hell. It is now madly devouring the surrounding power in order to accumulate strength.

The opening of hell is also an opportunity for Ao Bing, which can help him practice the Netherworld Dao Sutra. As one of the most advanced spiritual skills in the prehistoric world, the Netherworld Dao Sutra is extremely difficult to practice.

Fortunately, there is a shortcut to practicing this method. You only need to build the underworld with your own hands. The moment the underworld is built, that is when the Netherworld Taoist Scripture will be completed, which will directly save you billions of years of hard practice.

Building the underworld by one's own hands sounds difficult, but Ao Bing was lucky enough to have encountered good times. He is doing it now and has already succeeded to a large extent, having built the basic framework of the underworld.

……

Rumble!
The rules of the underworld were operating rapidly. With the White Bone Demon Tower as the center, the power of the underworld nearby surged in frantically, forming a huge vortex.

Then, not long after, the sturdy white bone magic tower began to dissolve bit by bit, starting with the top and largest layer. The white tower body disintegrated and disintegrated into the power of the world, merging with the underworld.

Rumble!
In the underground cracks, the void collapsed on a large scale, and a grim ghost prison slowly took shape. A large number of ghosts were wandering inside, holding pliers in their hands, chains around their waists, and looking coldly at the outside world.

This is the first level of hell, the Hell of Tongue Pulling.

Anyone in the world who sows discord, slanders and harms others, uses smooth talk, clever rhetoric, and lies to deceive others.

After death, one will be sent to the tongue-pulling hell, where the little devil will pry open the person's mouth, clamp the tongue with pliers, and pull it out. He does not pull it out all at once, but stretches it out and pulls it out slowly.

After the Tongue Pulling Hell, there is the second level of hell, the Scissors Hell, which is transformed from the second level of the White Bone Demon Tower. Then there is the Iron Tree Hell, the Mirror of Evil, the Steamer Hell...

The eighteen floors of the White Bone Demon Tower transformed into eighteen levels of hell. Each hell was twenty times more painful and twice as long as the previous one.

The higher the level, the more painful it is and the longer the punishment will be. If you fall into the eighteen levels of hell, you will never be able to be reborn, and you will be tortured forever, with pain never stopping.

Therefore, the Eighteen Levels of Hell are also called the Avici Purgatory, which means that the suffering is uninterrupted, there is no rest for even a second, and one suffers forever.

Rumble!
And with the birth of the Eighteen Levels of Hell, the various auras of disaster that permeated the underworld seemed to have found a place to go, and rushed madly towards the Eighteen Levels of Hell, constantly increasing its power.

According to Ao Bing's idea, he would sneak into the village, not use guns, and develop himself first. After his strength reaches a certain level, he would reveal his purpose.

But plans cannot keep up with changes. He first built the Fengdu City, and now he has opened up the Eighteen Levels of Hell. The movements are getting bigger and bigger. The strong people in the underworld are not blind or deaf, so how could they not discover it?

But fortunately, before they discovered it, a supreme figure deep in the underworld was alarmed.

"Nonsense! With the cultivation level of a Golden Immortal, you dare to establish the underworld and open up hell. Aren't you afraid that others will take advantage of you and rob you of your opportunities?"

Deep in the underworld, in the land of reincarnation, Queen Hou Tu, who had been staring at Ao Bing, first shook her head and then activated the Six Paths of Reincarnation, using the power of reincarnation to conceal the secrets for him and block everyone's perception.

As a result, Fengdu City and the Eighteen Levels of Hell stood there in plain sight, but no one noticed anything wrong.

It is not right to say that it blocks perception. To be more precise, it is to tamper with cognition. All the great masters in the prehistoric times have this ability.

You think that concealing the secret is to make it impossible for others to figure it out, but in fact, concealing the secret is directly tampering with people's subconscious understanding of something.

So much so that even though something is clearly wrong, even if you see it with your own eyes, you still can't detect the slightest bit of abnormality.

If not, how can we conceal the truth?

It is precisely because of this that the cultivation of the Heavenly Secret is so difficult and requires a huge price to be paid. If tampering with cognition could be easily accomplished, then the world would have been in chaos long ago.

"After a while, he should come to see me. It's really strange, how come he has the aura of the Father God even though he is a living being?"

“There are many disciples of the Three Pure Ones, but he is the only one who possesses the aura of the Father God.”
