I was forced to cultivate immortality when I just wanted to lie down

Chapter 366 The Way of Man, God, and Ghost; The Primordial Cycle of Success, Prosperity, and

learn from mistakes.

The Holy Maiden was ignorant and fearless in her early years, which is why she was suppressed for a thousand years.

Now, encountering Xu Qing, whose methods are unpredictable and whose actions are sometimes righteous and sometimes evil, its unease grows stronger.

Hesitant to act rashly, the Holy Maiden repeatedly tried to find out Xu Qing's background, but still had no clue.

Baiyun Cave has existed for a thousand years, but the changes in the outside world have made this ancient relic unable to see clearly.

This was supposed to be a once-in-a-millennium opportunity, a time when the righteous are declining and the demons are rising, so how did this thing that is neither human nor ghost appear?

The aura of a saint or demon, the androgynous appearance, and the supernatural powers that are both righteous and evil—each of these traits alone would make the old cultivators frown, yet the other party possessed them all.

At this moment, the Yin Kingdom's supernatural powers completely severed all contact with the outside world. The Holy Maiden was in the Ghost Realm, surrounded by more than 10,000 Yin soldiers who had formed a Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation.

Those arrogant generals were originally beneath its notice, but with the blessing of the Mountain and River Cauldron, all of them seemed to have undergone some kind of change. Above the Yin Kingdom's territory, a long black and white dragon phantom was circling.

The Holy Maiden was overwhelmed and had to resort to all seventy-two earthly evil secret techniques.

Transformation, invisibility, nightmare prayer, illusion, death by curse, separation of soul.
However, at this moment, the generals' formation was as one. Every time the Holy Maiden's killing power landed on those generals, an invisible force would surge out and be transmitted to the entire army formation.

The long dragon that materialized above their heads would constantly coil and roar, causing people to feel uneasy and agitated.

The Holy Maiden once again unleashed the Ghost Head Divine Blade, this time with all her might. The divine blade, shining with bloody light, pierced through the Yin Army formation and pointed directly at Xu Qing, who was in charge of the Yin Kingdom.

The emperor's fortune is divided among three parts, and the nation's spirit is like that of a dragon.

Xu Qing's expression was cold and stern. With a flick of his wrist, the Mountain and River Cauldron, driven by three-tenths of the underworld emperor's fortune, transformed into the Mountain and River Seal, suppressing the Ghost Head Divine Blade.

Thousands of ghostly figures howled and roared, while the black and white dragon above them opened its mouth and began to devour the blood-fiend ghostly figures that had been stripped away and blown away.

Saintess was shocked. If the dragon of fortune were to continue absorbing it, the balance would shift, and her divine sword would likely be suppressed on the spot by the Mountain and River Cauldron!
The Holy Maiden no longer cared about taking Xu Qing's life. She quickly withdrew her sword and chanted the God-Slaying Spell. The Ghost Head Divine Blade groaned in surprise. The divine blade, infused with the Heavenly Fox's ten thousand years of cultivation, erupted with an unprecedented blood-red blade light. It forcefully deflected the Mountain and River Seal and returned to the Heavenly Fox's front.

Seeing that the aura of the rampant army was beginning to decline, Xu Qing decisively summoned the Mountain and River Seal to the location of the black and white dragons.

The next moment, the black and white dragons circled around the Mountain and River Cauldron, and finally roared and transformed into two long black and white dragons, which imprinted themselves on the Mountain and River Cauldron in the posture of two dragons holding a seal!

"town!"

Xu Qing rose from the ground, using the fortune of the underworld emperor as his command, and took the authority of the mountain god of Baiyun Mountain into the Mountain and River Cauldron.

At this moment, the Mountain and River Cauldron represents the entire Baiyun Mountain, and Xu Qing is the emperor of this region.

The Holy Maiden finally showed fear, her voice trembling as she said, "The destiny of the Underworld Emperor, you..."

Of the Three Realms and Six Paths, besides the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Realm and the Emperor of the Mortal Realm, only the Emperor of the Underworld remains.

Looking at the holy appearance of the Goddess of Life Protection, yet also at the zombie with the aura of a ghost emperor, the Holy Maiden was momentarily unable to distinguish where the boundary between ghosts and gods lay.

Does no one care about such blatant transgressors who overstep their boundaries?
The road to heaven is broken
The Holy Maiden remained silent. She was originally only glad that the three realms were not connected, so she could do whatever she wanted in this place, but she forgot one thing.

The path to heaven is blocked; the laws of heaven cannot govern it, nor can they govern others.

If the Heavenly Law still exists, even if it acts recklessly again, according to the Heavenly Law it will at most be suppressed again, but will not be sent to the Demon-Slaying Platform.

This is related to the Nine Heavens Secret Manual. This book was originally left by the Primordial Ancestor. When the Ancestor left behind the Heavenly Book, he also left behind four lines of verse, which say—

"When the jade box is open, fate will come; when the jade box is closed, fate will go."

The Heavenly Book was stolen from the Jade Box by Yuan Gong and brought down to the mortal realm. It was then copied in the White Cloud Cave, which was equivalent to opening the lid of the Jade Box. As long as the Heavenly Book in the White Cloud Cave remained, the Jade Box would not close.

This is why there is an unwritten rule in the upper realm: anyone who cultivates the Heavenly Book is essentially granted immunity from death. Even if they commit a grave offense, the Heavenly Emperor will show leniency out of respect for their ancestor.

Saintess felt a chill run down her spine. She was trapped in the Ghost Realm of the Underworld, and the Mountain and River Cauldron that had seized power over White Cloud Mountain had already forged the area within a radius of fifty miles into an impenetrable fortress.

It could no longer escape Xu Qing's Heavenly Divine Power by using the techniques of "Shifting Scenery," "Stepping into Emptiness," and "Pot Heaven."

The old fox, watching the youth who was giving it his all and determined to kill it, tentatively probed with a last glimmer of hope:

"You broke through to a higher realm in the heat of battle, using so many supernatural powers. How can you possibly use the Heavenly Gang Technique again with your remaining magical power?"

However, before the Holy Maiden could finish speaking, Xu Qing's aura reversed, and the corpse monster that had been using the black zombie magic instantly switched to the hairy zombie state.

Maojiang belongs to the mountain forest, and Yunmeng Mountain is precisely Maojiang's home ground.

Xu Qing grinned. He was willing to use the more than 10,000 shamans he had accumulated over the years of performing rituals to find out the old vixen's secrets.

Now these rampant forces have lost half their power, and it's unknown how many years it will take to recover, but none of that matters.

In the Nine Heavens Secret Manual, the Heavenly Gang Method and the Earthly Fiend Method are completely incomparable. The former are all great supernatural powers that can create heaven and earth and pluck stars and change constellations, while the Earthly Fiend Method are all "Vajra Zen heretics". Although they are supernatural and wonderful methods, they have no requirements for one's mind and nature, and their upper limit is only in the external path. They are not true methods of transcendence.

Although the Heavenly Gang (天罡) counters the Earthly Fiend (地煞), Xu Qing did not enter the White Cloud Cave, but he possessed a Heavenly Gang Divine Power that was independent of the Nine Heavens Secret Manual.

Moreover, it is an ultimate killing technique in martial arts, and it is also his only trump card that can kill the old fox.

The selfless sacrifice of over ten thousand brave warriors resulted in an opportunity to eliminate the Heavenly Fox scourge and obtain the Heavenly Book of White Cloud Cave. No matter how you look at it, this deal was a win-win.

Moreover, he could repay the old debt of Yuan Gong for teaching Xuan Yu the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden Sword Technique and the Divine Travel Heavenly Book, thus avenging Xuan Yu's death.
The Yin Kingdom unleashed its last remaining power, and the Great Cauldron that guarded the kingdom emitted a thunderous roar, confining the Heavenly Fox, who was attempting to break through the Yin Kingdom's territory, to a tiny space.

The Holy Maiden, wielding the Ghost Head Divine Blade, relentlessly bombarded the Mountain and River Cauldron, her eyes wide with fury.

The sounds of thunder and rockfalls echoed continuously from Baiyun Mountain, and cracks began to appear on the entire sacred mountain, which had been forged by the White Jade Furnace for thousands of years.

But the Heavenly Fox was willing to risk damaging its foundation and cultivation to break free!

Xu Qing's gaze was more focused than ever before. He locked onto the location of the Heavenly Fox, and the energy of the mountains and forests within a hundred miles all flowed into the body of the Mao Jiang. At the same time, the Mao Jiang's magical power within Xu Qing's body was also poured into the Shouyang Great Axe without reservation.

Thirty floors, thirty-one floors.
After the Heavenly Gang Axe Technique reaches its thirtieth level, each subsequent breakthrough requires the sum of the mana and spiritual energy consumed in the previous breakthroughs.

Xu Qing drained all his magical power and finally stacked the Heavenly Gang Axe Technique to an unprecedented thirty-second level!

"open!"

A blinding white light cleaved through the yin and yang, and the gloomy, dark world of Yin Kingdom suddenly turned into a blazing white.

In the Netherworld, the air was thick with the aura of corpses, and ghostly flames rose everywhere.

In the former residence of Yama, the King of Hell, a burly figure dressed in a black robe embroidered with images of countless corpses and ghosts is attempting to refine the power of Yin Mountain.

At a certain moment, a white rainbow suddenly appeared in the sky above the eternally dark and desolate Nine Netherworld.

The rainbow light was only a few dozen feet long, but it broke through the barrier between yin and yang, hanging in the dark sky like a mirage.

On Mount Yin, inside the Palace of Yama.

The figure clad in a dark robe suddenly looked up, and a Dharma image over ten thousand feet tall instantly appeared above the palace.

At this moment, the majestic Yama Palace seemed like a small courtyard in the palm of one's hand, which made the Dharma image appear even more imposing.

That figure was none other than the Lord of the Underworld Corpses, the supreme being who governs the three corpses of Heaven, Earth, and Man—the Evil Corpse, the Yin Corpse, and the Resentful Corpse.

When the Dharma Master appeared, all the other Dharma corpses in Yinshan bowed their heads, not daring to make the slightest move.

At this moment, the Dharma Master's empty, unbearable gaze turned towards the outside of the underworld, and he said with some surprise:
"This is... the human world?"

A hundred miles away, in front of the empty Mirror of Karma, a Buddha-like corpse suddenly revealed its true form.

He was dressed in a tattered cassock, his face was half-rotten, and his golden body was decayed, with only ghostly flames flickering in the empty sockets of his eyes.

The monk clasped his hands in prayer and bowed, his voice sounding like a thousand people chanting in unison.

"Your Majesty, a thousand years ago, Yama, the King of Hell, sent his men to the mortal world to find the person destined for calamity, in an attempt to regain control of the order of the underworld. This person may be the one they are looking for."

The Dharma Master pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand and erased the illusory white rainbow. His voice was slow and deliberate: "To sever the Three Corpses, one must simultaneously sever the human, divine, and ghostly realms. If even one of the Three Corpses survives, then the Three Corpses will endure forever."

"Even if a human destined for tribulation one day possesses the ability to slay vengeful corpses, it will all be in vain."

"What the Dharma Master means is..."

The Buddha's physical body looked up and saw that the majestic image above Yama's Palace had vanished. In the mortal world, at White Cloud Mountain...

The thousand-foot-long axe shadow, carrying an aura of annihilation, engulfed the Holy Maiden's body, then sliced ​​through the treacherous peaks of Yunmeng Mountain, grazing the Eight Trigrams Gen Palace position of the Great Yan army formation, and forming a chasm outside the Gate of Life.

Hearing the sound of mountains and rivers collapsing, the soldiers of Da Yan saw the deep ravine that stretched across Yunmeng Mountain from the high position of Qian. In the distance, the Yunmeng River was found to have a breach, and the surging river water rushed down as if it had encountered a floodgate.

"."

Everyone held their breath and remained silent.

In front of Baiyun Cave.

Xu Qing stared at the empty space where only half of his crutch was stuck in the ground, but his mind remained focused.

At this moment, the Yin Kingdom had disappeared, and the light of day reappeared above the White Cloud Cave.

Xu Qing held the Azure Dragon Scale Armor in his hand, and countless mysterious runes leaped around. In a short while, he used the Qimen Dunjia divination method to arrive at the result.

Great omen!

Xu Qing, whose death omen was jumping every day, was even more enraged this time.

He almost instinctively used the Corpse Armor Divine Power and the Two-Faced Three-Sword Technique. Behind him, half a cane was stuck in the ground, and the cane transformed into the true form of a celestial fox.

The pure white-furred celestial fox, with only one tail, was wielding the Ghost Head Divine Blade and slashing straight towards Xu Qing's Huang Ting.

Earthly Fiend Magic 'Staff Substitution' Technique, Earthly Fiend Magic 'Staff Dissolution' Technique, Earthly Fiend Magic 'Soul Retrieval' Technique
Xu Qing suddenly realized that the cane the old fox was using was a substitute it had consecrated, which could be used to take the place of someone in a life-or-death crisis.

However, the Heavenly Gang Axe Technique on the 32nd floor was too fierce, so much so that even when the Heavenly Fox triggered the substitute pillar in time, it was still cut back to its original form by the fierce axe force.

In the blink of an eye, the Ghost Head Divine Blade was already upon him. Xu Qing temporarily avoided its sharpness and once again dodged by relying on the flag!
The fissures in Baiyun Mountain deepened, and the blue flag turned to dust.

Today, of the four flags that accompanied Xu Qing for nearly twenty years, only one red flag remains.

Feeling the power contained within the Ghost Head Divine Blade, Xu Qing once again sensed the foundation accumulated over ten thousand years of cultivation.

In terms of sheer magical power, the Heavenly Fox far surpasses him.

If it weren't for these three changes, he would probably have already exhausted his magical power by now.

"Young man, your supernatural powers are indeed formidable, but now that you have lost your magic and your flag, it is too late for you to escape!"

The white fox bared its sharp canine teeth, its blood-red eyes filled with hatred.

Xu Qing's tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed. He glanced to the outside of Baiyun Mountain and saw that paper money had started to fall outside the mountain at some unknown time. The paper money and paper flowers were like snowflakes falling, and some even landed in front of Tianhu.

One of the wisps of wind swept into the Great Yan army formation, causing the banners to flutter loudly. The moment Wang Liang saw the paper money and paper flowers falling in front of the army formation, his eyes narrowed, and he immediately drew his sword, pointed it at Baiyun Mountain, and shouted: "Form ranks and meet the enemy!"

The flags of the three armies fluttered and waved, and the flag bearers of each unit opened the Xun Palace Gate according to the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation.

The next moment, a strong wind arose in the Xun Palace, and a large purple dragon flew out from the Du Gate, heading straight for the summit of Baiyun Mountain.

The purple dragon, formed from the founding fortune of the Great Yan Kingdom, roared through the nine heavens, and 100,000 soldiers gathered to form the human world, replacing Xu Qing's Yin Kingdom and taking over this region.

In front of Baiyun Cave.

The Holy Maiden's eyelids twitched as she heard the deafening battle cries that suddenly came from afar.

Looking up, it saw that Baiyun Mountain was already surrounded by the aura of humanity and malevolence formed by the mortal army, making it completely impenetrable.

Above its head, the fortune of the Great Yan Mountains and Rivers seemed like a five-fingered mountain, pressing down on it and making it hard to breathe.

The Heavenly Fox lowered its head and stared at Xu Qing, its voice low and hoarse as it said, "You really will stop at nothing to kill me, even bewitching an army of mortals."

"But even the fortune of a mortal nation can only suppress me, not harm my life, hehe."

The Heavenly Fox sneered, "At most you'll make things difficult for me, but I'll skin you alive first to vent my anger!"

Xu Qing laughed out loud: "Suppress? The only purpose of this 100,000-strong army formation is to cut off your chance of escape."

"You were prey before I came, and you still are now."

As Xu Qing spoke, instead of retreating, he advanced step by step toward Tianhu.

Looking at the young man before him, whose magical power had been exhausted and who looked like an ordinary person, the latter subconsciously took a step back.

"How dare you! But I don't believe your empty city ruse!"

Foxes are naturally suspicious, and so is the Holy Maiden.

It believed this was Xu Qing's trick, and that the human army was merely bluffing to instill fear in it, preventing it from attacking the person before it and causing it to retreat back into the White Cloud Cave.
Xu Qing smiled.

The prime minister who used the Empty City Stratagem was exceptionally clever, but he didn't have enough trump cards.

But what he has the most to offer is his trump card.

Xu Qing took another step forward, and the air around him suddenly became scorching hot, and the withered flowers and plants around him spontaneously combusted without any wind.

In a short while, Baiyun Mountain turned into a fiery mountain, and the rocks beneath him were already as hot as lava.

After the Black Zombie and the Hairy Zombie, he still had the Fire Zombie transformation left unused.

But right now is just right.

At this moment, the Holy Maiden felt her feet burning and smelled the aroma of burning fur. Left with no other choice, she had to use the 'Sitting in Fire Technique' again.

"The Divine Power to Burn Mountains and Boil Seas"

As Tianhu looked at the apocalyptic scene around him, which resembled a fiery hell, he was filled with horror, but then he suddenly remembered a variable.

"You are a corpse monster, this fire is a smoldering fire, and you practice demonic magic. In other words, you are also under the suppression of the nation's destiny!"

"Young man, you've shot yourself in the foot. When you're suppressed first, this old woman will..."

The celestial fox's tone grew increasingly agitated, and it looked at Xu Qing as if he were a fish to be slaughtered.

However, upon hearing this, the young man was not alarmed at all; instead, he looked at it as if it were a fool.

The Holy Maiden's thoughts raced. At this moment, she considered countless possibilities. The incense and merits the other party possessed could avert natural fire disasters, but they could not escape the suppression of a nation's fortune. Even if the Underworld Kingdom were to use its power again, given the separation between humans and ghosts and the barrier between Yin and Yang, it would only render the fortune of the Underworld and the fortune of the human world ineffective.
Regardless of what the Holy Maiden thought, the young man before her had no chance of survival.

However, when the phantom of the Four Seas and Nine Provinces fell from the sky, the young man who took out the Shouyang Great Axe in front of him vaguely revealed the appearance of a dragon.

Moreover, behind the youth, a purple dragon shadow, formed by the convergence of imperial purple energy and gathering four parts of the emperor's fortune in the human world, has also appeared.

"The Fate of an Emperor on Earth"

The Holy Maiden's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was completely dead.

The fortune of an emperor in the human world, the fortune of a king in the netherworld, the transformation of flying zombies, and the divine status of the Goddess of Life Preservation.

With gods, humans, ghosts, and monsters all gathered in one person's body, what can a pure demon possibly use to fight them?
When the Heavenly Gang Axe Shadow, mixed with the incense of the Blood Lake, fell with the power to burn mountains and boil seas, the old female fox with ten thousand years of cultivation could no longer muster the slightest will to resist.

It abandoned the divine sword and fled desperately towards the White Cloud Cave.

What it once considered a prison has now become its only hope for survival.

The Heavenly Book! Only the White Cloud Cave, where the Heavenly Book was inscribed, can save it!
However, just a step away, a jade scroll fell down, blocking the entrance to the White Cloud Cave.

That was an imperial edict issued by Zhu Huai'an ordering Wang Liang to lead 100,000 soldiers to suppress the demons.

When the Great Axe of Shouyang fell, the old female fox spat out her ten-thousand-year-old demon core, but she only lasted for a moment before being burned by the incense of the Blood Lake. Then, under the overwhelming power of the Heavenly Gang Axe, she completely collapsed and returned to the world.
In front of Baiyun Cave, Xu Qing put away his axe and stood there, a hint of regret in his eyes.

He used the Qimen Dunjia divination method again, and the hexagram was the Four Virtues Hexagram, which is Yuan, Heng, Li, and Zhen.

Yuan means beginning; Heng means success; Li means harmony; Zhen means correctness.
However, the only drawback is that this hexagram has a pure yang nature, which is the origin of all things, making the nature of things harmonious and each having its own benefits.

But he was a zombie, and thus lost all benefit. The celestial fox corpse in front of White Cloud Cave, where both its body and soul had dissipated, was the benefit he had lost.
