Terrifying Heavens: I'll directly worship the Black Law of Fengdu!

Chapter 40 Grand Marshal Tianpeng Arrives in Person

Li Xuan set up an altar for the Three Emperors and One Commander, using the Fengdu Treasure Seal to knock on the Dongyue Token. The procedure and ceremony were incorrect, and he was already mentally prepared to be punished.

Although the three emperors and one general were closely connected.

However, the methods and artifacts he possesses are still too scattered and need further integration.

Li Xuan never expected that the summoning spell would have a reaction, but the first blow was a longsword piercing his chest, sending him flying and pinning him to the rooftop wall...

The intense impact, and the divine sword piercing his heart, though he didn't know why he wasn't dead.

But it was truly painful...

He had barely opened his mouth when a mouthful of blood gushed out!

Divine light faintly surged within the ancestral tablet, and in a daze, one could see a burly deity emerging!
He was covered in a crimson-gold and black iron beast-faced head armor, surrounded by three-colored lightning, obscuring his facial features, except for a chaotic flow around his eyes.

He wore a nine-foot-long white jade belt around his waist.

Wearing Nine Dragons War Boots and holding a snow-white longsword, the one in the divine man's hand was far more mysterious than the one stuck in Li Xuan's body. One glance at it felt as if ten thousand silver needles were piercing one's eyes, making it impossible to look directly at it!

The divine being was enveloped in divine light, its form shifting between reality and illusion. Its "gaze" swept across the surroundings, seemingly surveying the world, before it nodded slightly and uttered a vague "hmm..."

He approached Li Xuan, looked at this young and arrogant junior, and said:
"The path of cultivation emphasizes being grounded and practical, not being overly ambitious. Now that you have received the scriptures personally bestowed by the Eastern Peak Emperor and have been entrusted with his command, you should devote yourself to cultivation and integrate the great power into yourself, which is the foundation. But why are you using the incantation of the Nine Hells Lord to deal with such weak ghosts, randomly knocking on seals and tokens, and disturbing the order of Fengdu?"

Li Xuan honestly said, "I dare not hide it from you, Divine Lord. Because I have no mortal master to guide me, I have studied under the Fengdu lineage and then the Dongyue lineage. I feel that this is not a systematic approach, and since I have no one to enlighten me, I have dared to summon the Fengdu Divine Generals of the Underworld while slaying demons and monsters, so that I may ask them for some guidance."

Upon hearing this, the divine being sneered: "Truly, you are ignorant and uneducated because no one has taught you! When you recited the Nine Hells Lord's Incantation, you should have held the Seal of Inspecting the Ghosts and Gods of the Three Realms and knocked on the Nine Springs' Command to summon the ghosts and gods of Fengdu. However, you knocked on the Fengdu Precious Guide Seal and the Token of the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak with the seal of the Fengdu Precious Guide. The order is completely disordered, which is utterly absurd. Do you know that you are wrong?"

Li Xuan lowered his head and said, "This disciple knows his mistake!"

The divine being spoke to him for a while, then looked around again and said, "Your origins are extraordinary, not belonging to the Three Realms, and your destiny is profound. The Northern Emperor has commanded me to come here to pardon your sins, and has specially bestowed upon you the Nine Springs Command, the Seal for Inspecting Ghosts and Gods of the Three Realms, and two precious scriptures: the 'Northern Yin Fengdu Taixuan Subduing Demon Black Law Spiritual Book' and the 'Taixuan Fengdu Black Law Ritual Regulations.' These scriptures contain the essentials of Fengdu lineage cultivation and law enforcement, the rules of ghosts, gods, judges, and various magical arts. You should make good use of them!"

Hear these words.

Li Xuan felt a glimmer of hope appear before him; he knew he had succeeded in his gamble.

I couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

He roughly guessed who this extraordinary person in front of him was.

However, those who join the Fengdu lineage will inevitably face the constraints of Fengdu's dark laws.

He said, "By chance, I have gained the ability to travel through the heavens. The rules of each heaven are different, and I may have to face many complex and difficult situations. I may even encounter worlds where there are no gods, and I will be forced to use some means that violate the laws of the judges of the 'Black Laws'..."

The genius knew what Li Xuan meant without even hearing the whole story.

He said indifferently:
"The myriad worlds are all different, filled with strange and wondrous spirits, and where good and evil are indistinguishable. Although the Emperor can see through all the heavens, he still needs capable successors to enter the great world and become new immortals. You are quite good, and the Emperor intends to cultivate you, but you must go through tribulations before you can attain the Dao."

"The Emperor of the North Pole, mindful of your plight and knowing your predicament, has granted you some immunity. As long as you do not indiscriminately kill the innocent, commit heinous acts, or damage the prestige of Fengdu, you may act as you see fit and need not be overly constrained!"

"However, if you do not heed advice and act recklessly, then the karmic consequences of all the heavens and myriad realms will befall you. In the end, you will have to bear the consequences of your good and evil deeds."

Li Xuan was overjoyed; receiving such a pardon was truly unprecedented. However, there were still some bottom lines to follow; if he crossed them, the Black Law wouldn't let him off the hook.

It should be noted that the "Black Law Spirit Book" notes that in the first year of the Longhan era, when the Celestial Master was subduing the six great demons of the caves, he did not kill them excessively. When the Northern Emperor wrote evil, the Master of the Mysterious Center, Bao Shan, reported to the Emperor and was thus granted the position of Grand Master of the Three Heavens.

The cult leader also did this to admonish future generations.

In chaotic times, severe punishments are necessary. The existence of the "Black Laws" is to prevent some people from acting recklessly by taking advantage of the methods of the Tai Xuan Dao Sect, not to turn the disciples of the Black Laws lineage into puppets who only obey the Black Laws.

Li Xuan dared to summon the divine general because of this story.

Now it seems that this is indeed the case...

The deity was still there, his right hand outstretched, revealing a jade slip. He said, "Now that you have cultivated Qi, I hereby obey the Emperor's decree and bestow upon you the register!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the jade slip shot out and entered Li Xuan's brow. He immediately felt hot all over and vaguely saw the location of the Nine Heavens Heavenly Court.

But it only lasted for a moment.

When he came to his senses, all the phenomena of the Heavenly Court had vanished without a trace.

The deity said, "You are hereby granted the initial rank and position of disciple of the Supreme Three-Five Demon-Slaying Initial True Secret Register, and the Right Judge of the General Records of Fengdu, overseeing all matters concerning the ghosts and gods of the Six Heavenly Palaces! Think thrice before acting in all matters!"

The divine light on the ancestral tablet began to dim, flickering intermittently.

Seeing this, the deity said, "You are able to break through the boundaries and travel through the heavens. Although you have been pardoned by the Emperor, you must still maintain the middle way and uphold righteousness, and strive to do your best. If you can attain enlightenment and become a true immortal, I will find you a suitable immortal position in the Heavenly Court."

"The ghosts of this realm are quite interesting. I will take them with me first. Remember, unless you are in a life-or-death situation, do not set up an altar to summon the ghosts and gods of Fengdu as a last resort. Otherwise, the Black Law will record a major offense against you, and if it accumulates too much, I will have no choice but to punish you!"

Although he is powerful, he cannot stay in this world that does not belong to him for too long.

The deity glanced at Ruan Shiyin, and a jet-black iron chain immediately extended from the divine tablet, binding her and pulling her inside! Faced with such overwhelming divine power that transcended dimensions, Ruan Shiyin was powerless to resist, unable even to move her eyes, and instantly disappeared from this world.

The other student ghosts were alright, but they were swept away by a cold wind and entered the ancestral tablets.

The rooftop, which was once filled with ghosts, was suddenly empty.

The snow-white divine sword that had been stuck in Li Xuan's chest was slowly pulled out and flew backward into the divine tablet. The blood that had flowed out earlier seemed to flow back into the wound as if time had reversed, and it healed. Apart from the torn clothes, no trace was left on his skin.

The sword piercing his chest was merely a minor punishment for Li Xuan's reckless altar-setting and haphazard use of seals and tokens.

The divine figure became transparent and walked towards the shrine tablet.

Without the divine sword pinning him down, Li Xuan fell off the wall and quickly knelt down to kowtow, saying, "May I ask your title, Divine Lord?"

The divine figure vanished.

Leave behind a word or two: "Tianpeng..."
