Chapter 233 The Opening of the Netherworld
Above the Heavenly Palace, the True Lord of Taiyin looked down at the mortal realm, pointed to the bright moon in the nine heavens, and the moonlight shone brightly in the void, its radiance shining in all directions, reflecting the faces of the True Lord of Hanqi and the True Lord of Shanggu.

The two True Lords were clearly somewhat surprised that they had been summoned by Taiyin and manifested in the Lingxiao Palace.

"You two dare to dream of opening the underworld and breaking the seal of heaven and earth? Do you truly not want the position of True Lord?"

The Taiyin True Lord, seated in the magnificent main seat, raised his eyebrows and looked down at the two of them.

The True Lord of Gu's eyes flickered slightly, and he dared not answer.

Hanqi Zhenjun replied without the slightest fear: "It is merely a contest of the Great Dao. The position of Zhenjun is one that we have earned through our own arduous cultivation. Even if Lord Taiyin were to become the sovereign, she would not be able to take it away."

"Oh? How dare you be so bold?" Taiyin Zhenjun was not angry. Instead, he asked with a soft laugh, "I am curious, who gave you such confidence?"

Which of the twelve main paths are they?

She spoke these words to the Supreme Gu Master, clearly indicating that Taiyin did not believe that a single cold Qi was enough to draw out the cautious Supreme Gu.

The corner of Shang Gu Zhenjun's mouth twitched slightly, and his expression was not good. He said, "Lord Taiyin, I only seek to complete the Great Dao."

You should know the reason for this.

"Oh, so it's that old story." Taiyin Zhenjun seemed to have really forgotten it, but suddenly remembered and said, "Back then, the first Zhenjun to be promoted to the Gu level refined the Reincarnation Life Gu to complete the Gu Dao."

Unfortunately, he offended Xuanming, who used his power to create a natural enemy for him. Just then, Shaoyin attained his position, and the Nine Heavens Moon Cicada descended to the mortal realm to devour the Reincarnation Life Gu and seal it within time.

"If you want this Gu poison, why didn't you tell me?"

The Supreme Lord Gu said calmly, "If Your Excellency unseals the Reincarnation Life Gu, I will immediately retreat and forever obey the decree of the Heavenly Palace."

"Well, Xuanming has not yet returned, so I cannot touch this destiny seal." Taiyin Zhenjun laughed, "However, if you offend the Heavenly Palace like this, although I cannot remove the seal, I can still kill you completely."

Upon hearing this, the Supreme Gu True Lord was not angered. Instead, he raised his head and solemnly said, "Then I will refine the Source of Ten Thousand Gu again. Since the Supreme Gu True Lord of that year was able to complete the Gu Dao, I might as well do the same!"

"It's rare that you have such ambition, but the two of you alone cannot do anything to me."

"Anyone else, come out now."

Taiyin Zhenjun sat calmly in the main seat and smiled.

Within the vast Lingxiao Palace, the void rippled, beams of light shone, and various colored rays intertwined, revealing figures.

Golden light shimmered and flickered as the two True Lords, Xin Jin and You Jin, entered the hall with smiles. Instantly, the hall was filled with countless jewels and treasures, a display of worldly wealth that was dazzling to the eyes.

Xin Jin Zhenjun was a refined old man holding a precious staff. He coughed twice and bowed to Taiyin Zhenjun at the head of the table, saying, "It has been many years since we last met. Your demeanor remains as elegant as ever."

Taiyin asked with a smile, "Senior, at your age, do you still have to travel around? When the Heavenly Palace was established, there were only a few old True Lords left."

"Alas, my lord, you four were born in response to the times, establishing the Heavenly Palace by taking advantage of the great power of heaven and earth. You should have known that when this fortune runs out, it will be the time for the old and new forces to contend and replace each other."

"Two of the four great men have departed, the sun and moon will decline, the two polarities will be reborn, the four symbols will be re-emerged, and the five elements will be established," Xin Jin Zhenjun advised.

"The old gives way to the new? Heh, the Heavenly Palace has only been established for a little over 100,000 years. For you and me, True Lords, it is just a fleeting period of time. If it were to rise again, it would only be the suffering of all living beings in the world."

Taiyin shook her head and continued, "Apart from the brilliance of the sun and moon, who else can hold the power over heaven and earth?"

A clear, melodious female voice spoke: "These are the positions of the Five Virtues. All things in heaven and earth belong to the Five Elements. Above are the ten Heavenly Stems, and below are the twelve Earthly Branches, which can be used to represent all things in the world."

Taiyin frowned. "You're You Metal? Why would the Ten Directions Heavenly Venerable release you?"

"It is only because the trend has come to this, and it is the will of Heaven." The Metal Rooster looked directly at the elegant and noble woman above him. "The Metal Rooster gives birth to the Water element of Heaven and Earth. On earth, it is gold and silver; in the sky, it is the moon. It nourishes destiny and gives birth to new life. Now that I have been born, you should understand, right?"

"The moon in the sky? How can the noble status of Taiyin be replaced by your mere virtue of metal and stone?" Taiyin Zhenjun sneered.

"But when we, the Five Virtues, created the world together, then the Five Elements were born together, and all laws were complete." A clear voice came, and True Lord Maomu arrived with the myriad dusts of the mortal world, his peach blossom eyes smiling as he looked ahead.

A raging fire emerged from the void, and a boy with innocent eyes stood beside True Lord Maomu, grinning as he said, "I've come out to see what's going on and join in the fun."

A six-turn Yin disc rose from the sky, and the divine light of reincarnation descended upon this place. A formless light attached itself to the disc, and a voice rang out in unison from men, women, and children: "The underworld reopens, the three realms are in a new era, and the will of heaven and earth cannot be altered."

"

The True Lords, seated in the main hall, all looked towards the Taiyin True Lord at the head of the table. The rows of seats were all empty, clearly indicating the True Lords' stance. Regardless of their intentions, the True Lords of the Five Elements and Five Virtues would not oppose them and aid Taiyin at this moment, because once the Five Elements and Five Virtues became the dominant laws in the world, they would naturally reap immense benefits.

Inside the Lingxiao Palace, the seven True Lords confronted the Taiyin True Lord. The seven positions manifested in the void. The Hanqi True Lord stood in the swirling snow and said, "Taiyin, retreating now is still showing some mercy. If you really fight, there will be no turning back."

At the head of the throne in the main hall, the void churned. The True Lord of Emptiness wanted to appear, but the True Lord of Taiyin glanced at him and said, "Go back."

The Void Spirit True Lord was stunned for a moment, but then his figure disappeared and he left.

Taiyin Zhenjun stood up, her fair eyes darting slightly, a smile playing on her lips, "Since the seven of you have something to ask for, then come and take it."

All the myriad paths of heaven and earth, all order, originate from the Heavenly Palace.

"If you wish to overthrow all this, have you ever considered why all order originated from the Heavenly Palace? Is it the will of Heaven? Is it morality? Is it wisdom?"

The gentleness on Taiyin Zhenjun's face vanished, and countless spiritual energies surged forth from the vast void like a great tide. Silver light shone throughout the nine heavens and ten earths, and a magnificent moon slowly rose from behind Taiyin Zhenjun. Her voice rang out, echoing in every corner of the endless void and reaching the ears of every Zhenjun.

"Because the moon and the sun shine brightly over heaven and earth, there are no rulers who do not serve, and no gods who do not worship, thus the majesty of the heavenly palace has lasted for ten thousand years."

As soon as he finished speaking, Taiyin Zhenjun took a step forward, and the moonlight poured down like a waterfall, engulfing the seven Zhenjun.

The seven True Lords manifested their positions one after another, and the light of their seven positions illuminated thousands of miles, but under the boundless bright moon, they were still just like the brilliance of stars, completely suppressed by the light of the moon.

The seven True Lords were all horrified. Even though there were differences in strength among the True Lords, none of the seven of them were top-tier True Lords, yet their seven powers could still be suppressed by the Taiyin True Lord!
In the vast void, the bright moon shone with billions of rays, and seven stars, like stars, guarded the moon. This celestial phenomenon caused the phenomena of the eight paths in the world to riot. Many cultivators of the seven paths actually experienced a sharp drop in cultivation under the bright moon, and the seven paths rose up to heaven like water and mist.

This scene caused panic and unease among all cultivators in the world. They looked up at the moon and felt that the Jade Disc of the Nine Heavens was high above them, with boundless divine power.

At Qiling Sect, on the Law Enforcement Peak, Li Yuan also raised his head and looked at the bright moon and the seven stars in the sky. He muttered to himself, "The power of the sun and moon will eventually decline."

Under the bright moon, all waters will spring forth. The primordial waters of the ten directions begin from this moment.

Yuan Yi, it's time for you to show yourself.

The underworld, silent for tens of thousands of years, should reappear in the world.

"Change brings life; stagnation brings death."

On the northern city wall, Li Yuan pointed his finger, and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner moved, the White Bone Altar rose, and the Xuanming position on the banner broke through the dust-sealed thunder. The White Bone Altar suppressed the road of Wei Tu, and countless wails and ghostly cries echoed within this ghost city.

In the netherworld, the sealed underworld began to connect with the human world. Countless cracks appeared on the city walls of Beilin City, and the claws, teeth, and whiskers of ghosts squeezed out from the cracks.

Meanwhile, in the Land of Mirror Abyss, the Sea of ​​Bitterness surged, submerging the easternmost region. Radiant Buddhist light and chanting filled the air as Arhats escaped from the Great Desire Realm and entered the Sea of ​​Bitterness, chanting in unison, "Namo Great Compassionate Buddha Who Saves the World!"

Amidst the chanting of Buddhist hymns, Wang Lingyun transformed from a Taoist into a Buddha, sitting serenely in the center of the Sea of ​​Suffering. He sprouted three heads and six arms, one with a compassionate expression, one with an angry expression, and one with a ruthless expression. Each of his six arms held one of the six realms, representing heaven, earth, humans, gods, ghosts, and demons. The images of the six realms manifested in his palms, and golden lotuses bloomed and poured into the ground.

The Buddha of Salvation spoke, saying, "Now I establish my teachings in the sea of ​​suffering, as the Buddhism of Great Salvation, to deliver all beings from the realms of heaven, earth, humans, gods, ghosts, and demons, and to unite them in the cycle of the six realms of reincarnation. I humbly request the assistance of all Buddhas!"

As soon as the words fell, Buddhist chants rang out from the Sea of ​​Bitterness, connecting with the ancient Buddhas who were sealed in slumber. In the underworld, the Ten Kings of Hell worked together, and countless ghosts roared in unison, filling the world with a vast expanse of dark mist.

All the Golden Core cultivators within the Samsara Realm who had cultivated the Samsara Divine Light position were drawn down by the Samsara position in the Underworld, merging with the Great Dao and completely losing their will.

With this help, the reincarnation status gradually recovered, and the True Lord of Reincarnation Divine Light above the sky laughed loudly before entering the underworld.

"Om~"

Heaven and earth seemed to freeze for a moment. The heavens were nine layers high and the earth was nine layers deep. The path of the underworld extended from the netherworld into the mortal world. The life, death, and lifespan of all living beings in the world were all governed by the cycle of reincarnation and were transformed into the Book of Life and Death and the Judge's Pen of the Ten Courts.

Seeing this, the Sun True Lord was furious and said coldly, "Since Buddhism and Taoism want to connect the Yin and Yang realms, then so be it!"

Having said that, the Sun True Lord stepped into the Nine Heavens in an instant. His aura was no longer suppressed. The sun of the Nine Heavens scorched the earth, and the rolling sunlight shone into the Netherworld. The magnificent Bing Fire burned the Ten Kings of Hell and burned away the Buddha's position in the Underworld!

Seeing the Sun True Lord return to his position, the six True Lords immediately retreated without hesitation. The Moon True Lord alone was enough to suppress them, and if the Sun True Lord were added, they would be in danger!
In any case, the Netherworld has been opened, and their goal has been achieved.

The radiant stars dissipated in the blink of an eye, and the six True Lords each flew into the void and disappeared.

Inside the Lingxiao Palace, the Taiyin True Lord, his face slightly pale, returned to his seat.

The vast sunlight shone into the main hall, piercing through the void, and all the True Lords knew that the sun had returned to its rightful place!
