Honghuang: Starting from the Enlightenment of the Great Emperor Dongyue

Chapter 12: Eastern Underworld
Bixi fell silent. He didn't know much about the way of gods founded by Taicang. He only knew fragments and bits and pieces he heard from Zhuque.

Before, he thought that the way of gods was nothing more than the two sects of Taoism and Demonism like Hongjun and Luohou, dividing the camps and competing for luck.

"Is there any difference?"

Upon seeing this, Taicang chuckled, snapped his fingers, and a ray of divine light penetrated into Bixi's soul.

The mysteries of the ways of the gods slowly evolved in Bixi's sea of ​​consciousness.

Bixi's body trembled, and he suddenly realized that this was what the Shinto looked like.

Live and prosper together with heaven and earth.

This is a brand new avenue that he, or the entire dragon clan, has never imagined!
Although he had only taken a cursory look and had not yet explored in depth, this glimpse had already made Bixi realize that the real opportunity for him, or for the dragon clan, had come!

He felt an inexplicable excitement, and his dormant blood seemed to be burning again.

Seeing Bixi's expression change, Taicang asked, "Now, are you really willing?"

"I am deeply grateful for your kindness, Your Majesty!" Bixi bowed sincerely and agreed without hesitation. "I was ignorant just now and failed to understand the Your Majesty's profound meaning. I am willing to serve you with all my heart and soul for your divine way!"

Taicang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Great! The way of God embraces all things, regardless of race or origin. Although you only have a dragon soul left now, you have also been contaminated by the aura of the underworld and transformed into a ghost."

"However, now that the ghost clan has just been established, it is not suitable for them to stay in the mortal world. I want to open up the Dongyue territory, and I need a ghost god to sit in the netherworld."

Bixi was overjoyed and bowed to the ground again, "Bixie is willing, thank you Emperor for your help!"

Taicang nodded slightly, turned to look at Suzaku, and said with a smile:
"Suzaku, thank you for your hard work over the years."

Upon hearing this, Suzaku's eyes flashed with a smile, and he said modestly:

"It is Suzaku's honor to be able to share the Emperor's worries."

Then, Taicang laughed heartily: "Just wait and see as I open up the Dongyue territory!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Taicang's aura changed, and vast and majestic divine power gushed out from his body, instantly sweeping across the entire Dongyue Divine Realm.

This divine power was as vast as the ocean, and seemed to be able to create the world. It oppressed Bixi to the point that it could hardly breathe.

He quickly mobilized the remaining dragon power in his body, and was able to barely resist the pressure. He was extremely shocked.

"Is this the Emperor's true strength? He is truly unfathomable!"

Taicang slowly raised his hands, and a series of mysterious and complicated spells came out from his hands and fell to the ground.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, a huge crack was torn into the earth.

This space crack is hundreds of thousands of miles long, tens of thousands of miles wide, and bottomless. Chaos energy is rolling inside, and lightning and thunder are flashing.

Taicang's expression was solemn, and he let out a deafening shout:

"In the name of the Emperor of Dongyue, I decree: Open up the Dongyue land and evolve the underworld!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the [Emperor Seal of Mount Tai] flew out from between Taicang's eyebrows.

The divine seal swelled up in the wind, and instantly turned into the size of a towering mountain. Carrying the divine power to suppress the heavens and all worlds, it smashed towards the huge space crack.

"Boom!"

The divine seal fell into the crack in space, and the earth shook and the wind and clouds changed color.

In the crack of space, earth, wind, water and fire surged, clear and turbid air rose, and slowly evolved into a small world!
This world was roughly the same size as the Dongyue Divine Realm, encompassing a million square miles. Unlike the vibrant Dongyue Divine Realm, this world was filled with a rich, earthly yin energy. A chilling wind howled, dark mountains stretched endlessly, and the Yellow Springs surged endlessly, creating a pervasive, eerie, and terrifying atmosphere. "Karma… the power of heaven and earth…" Taicang breathed a long sigh, his eyes gleaming even more intensely.

Taicang, relying on his karma and borrowing the power of heaven and earth, opened up a netherworld just by entering the realm of the Great Emperor! This further strengthened his determination to follow the path of the gods.

Bixi was stunned and shocked as he watched from the side.

This ability to create the world is even greater than that of my father, Emperor Zulong.

"This world is the land of Mount Dongyue, also known as the Eastern Underworld."

He turned to look at Bixi and said, "Bixie, you will enter this world, comprehend the laws of the Netherworld, and establish its order. Are you willing to do so?"

Bixi's expression froze, and he immediately knelt on one knee, saying in a deep voice, "Bixie is willing to serve the Emperor, even if it means going through fire and water, without hesitation!"

"That's great!" Taicang nodded with satisfaction.

He raised his right hand, stretched out his five fingers, and made a light move.

A golden light burst out from the void, and an ancient and heavy book appeared out of thin air in his hand.

"In the name of the Lord of Shinto, I decree: Bixi is the Lord of the Underworld of the Eastern Pole, in charge of the order of the netherworld!"

As soon as Taicang finished speaking, a golden light suddenly shone above the [Book of Heaven]. A brilliant beam of light shot up into the sky, piercing the clouds and illuminating the entire Dongyue Divine Realm with a golden glow.

At the same time, in the center of Dongyue territory, a majestic Yinshan Mountain rose from the ground and reached the sky.

The Yinshan Mountains tower into the clouds, tens of thousands of feet high. The mountain is as black as ink, emitting a cold and chilly atmosphere. There are rugged rocks on it, gusts of cold wind, and the sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling are endless.

At the foot of Yinshan Mountain, there stands a boundary marker with the words "Taozhi" written on it.

On the top of Taozhi Mountain, a gloomy and magnificent palace rises from the ground.

The palace is built entirely of black rocks, with towering walls, majestic halls, carved beams and painted rafters. It is magnificent, but it also exudes a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere everywhere.

Above the palace gate, on a huge plaque, four large characters were written in a flamboyant style - Dongji Hell!
The divine seal that symbolized the position of the Great Emperor Dongyue appeared before everyone's eyes again. Its authentic Daoist aura surged, and it once again condensed into an auxiliary seal that emitted the power of the underworld.

The auxiliary seal was pitch black, with four large characters "Eastern Pole Underworld" engraved on it. It slowly floated down and eventually merged into Bixi's sea of ​​consciousness, becoming one with his soul.

boom!
In an instant, Bixi felt a huge amount of information pouring into his mind. All the mysteries about the laws of ghosts flowed through his heart. The originally obscure order of the underworld also became extremely clear at this moment.

He looked down at the new world beneath his feet, and a sense of pride in controlling everything surged in his heart. At this moment, he was the master of this world.

"Is this the power of divine authority?" Bixi's heart was filled with turbulent waves, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

Inheriting the position of heaven and earth gave him such powerful control over this small world that with a single thought, he could cause mountains to collapse and the earth to split, and ghosts to wail and gods to howl.

He even felt that he could clearly sense every ghost that entered the Dongji Ghost Mansion. Their joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness, their past and present lives, nothing could escape his gaze.

Taicang's voice rang in his ears again, majestic and loud, "Bixie."

Bixi quickly collected his thoughts and bowed his head respectfully, "Emperor."

"I will send all the converted ghosts to the Eastern Ghost Palace." Taicang's voice carried a hint of warning, "Remember, although you hold divine power within the Ghost Palace, you cannot interfere with the ghosts' way of survival."

"You must understand," Taicang paused, his tone meaningful, "divine authority is not a tool for you to do whatever you want, but it allows you to maintain the order of heaven and earth, and it is also a restraining blade over the heads of all living beings."

Bixi's heart trembled, and he quickly responded: "Bixi will remember the emperor's teachings!"

"Of course," Taicang smiled, "You should also hurry up and replenish the Yinsi."

　Please collect and read, thank you!
