I start by marrying Yunxiao, who's in a vegetative state; I'm invincible in the primor

There is an old saying:

No one knows how wronged you are more than the person who wronged you!

Shen Gongbao certainly knew that Kasyapa and Ananda were innocent!

Therefore, Shen Gongbao volunteered to "interrogate" Kasyapa and Ananda.

First, give them three thousand lashes!

They beat him until his skin was torn and bleeding, and then asked him vague and ambiguous questions.

"What message did you convey?"

Kasyapa and Ananda were in so much pain they were convulsing, tears streaming down their faces. "Huh? What is it?"

"Still talking tough even when you're about to die?"

clap clap!

Shen Gongbao then lashed out with three thousand more lashes.

Cries of anguish and screams filled the air.

"Waaaah, Leopard, what are you saying? We really don't understand."

"Is there some kind of misunderstanding?"

"I want to see the teacher! I want to see Brother Medicine and Brother Maitreya!"

Snapped!

"You still want to see the teacher? You're not qualified!"

"You'd better tell me the truth!"

"Who is your superior? What are your positions?"

Kasyapa and Ananda cried even louder, "We are disciples of the Western Paradise! Our superiors are our teachers, Amitabha and Cundi!"

Shen Gongbao flew into a rage, "How dare you! You dare to address our sage teacher by his name?"

"presumptuous!"

"Tell me! Will you tell me or not!"

"Tell me!"

Shen Gongbao didn't learn anything else while he was in the Chan Sect, but he did learn some things about how to torture people and how to label others through his daily exposure.

"Waaaah, what are you making us say?"

"A path to certain death has already been chosen!"

*Snap!*

soon!

Shen Gongbao used too much force.

Kasyapa and Ananda convulsed violently, kicked their legs, tilted their necks, and died on the spot.

A wisp of remnant soul entered the Investiture of the Gods.

Shen Gongbao returned to Mount Sumeru, and fearfully begged for forgiveness.

"Teacher, your disciple is guilty."

"Kasyapa and Ananda are great traitors and spies; they are far too stubborn."

"I accidentally beat them both to death."

"I am guilty, please punish me, teacher."

When Jieyin and Zhunti heard this, they were not surprised that Shen Gongbao had killed them.

The Jie Sect, or Jie Sect Immortals, have always believed in the principle of "Born to be a Jie Sect Immortal, die to be a Jie Sect Hero, and never betray the Jie Sect Immortal in life or death."

Kasyapa and Ananda would rather die than confess, which was exactly what Jieyin and Zhunti had expected.

To be entrusted with such an important task by the Tongtian Sect Leader, to infiltrate the West, one must be incredibly resilient!

"The male leopard did nothing wrong."

"Yes! Your disciple is humbled and thanks you, teacher!"

"Focus on your cultivation! The final battle is approaching!"

"Once the Jie Sect is destroyed, the West will still need you, Gongbao, to preside over the Investiture of the Gods."

"yes!"

……

Just as the West was uncovering traitors and carrying out a purge.

Li Yu, along with Zhen Yuanzi, had already traversed the Yellow Springs Road, entered the Gates of Hell, and arrived in the Netherworld.

In the depths of the netherworld, the twilight was desolate and chilling.

Zhen Yuanzi sensed the desolation and couldn't help but shake his head, "Houtu has great compassion."

"One cannot escape without countless eons of suffering; all that remains is endless loneliness and desolation."

"It would be difficult for a normal cultivator to endure."

"I'm afraid Brother Hongyun won't be able to stay here for long before he goes mad."

Not long after.

Li Yu and Zhen Yuanzi arrived outside Pingxin Hall.

hum!

The palace gates opened by themselves.

A Taoist chant echoed from inside the hall.

"Please come in, First Emperor Daoist Master and Fellow Daoist Zhenyuan."

Li Yu entered Pingxin Palace, paid his respects, and said, "Greetings, Empress Houtu."

Zhen Yuanzi and Houtu are of the same generation, but things are different now. He respectfully bows and says, "Zhen Yuanzi greets the Greatly Compassionate and Merciful Houtu Goddess."

"No need for such formalities."

"What brings the First Emperor, the Dao Lord, to the Netherworld?"

Li Yu stated frankly, "This humble Taoist wishes to enable Zhen Yuanzi to attain the Dao of the Earthly Saint."

"What does Your Majesty think?"

Houtu gazed at Li Yu with her beautiful eyes, naturally knowing that the Styx had attained sainthood in the human realm.

Just as Li Yu said.

Zhen Yuanzi's attainment of the Daoist Sagehood is beneficial to both parties.

The underground passage needs a sage to represent its interests and maintain its stability as it traverses the primordial world.

Houtu naturally had no reason to refuse.

Houtu nodded in understanding, "The three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man are equal. The Heavenly Path already has six sages, and the Human Path has already given birth to a sage. The Earthly Path should be the same."

"Zhen Yuanzi can become a Daoist saint."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi was deeply moved and bowed, saying, "Zhen Yuanzi thanks Lady Pingxin!"

Houtu changed the subject, "However, the authentic purple aura requires the intervention of the First Emperor."

Although Houtu is a supreme being of the earthly realm, she does not know how to condense purple energy!

That's why Houtu believed that Li Yu was exceptionally talented and unparalleled in the primordial world!

With his human form, he led his people out of the deadly realm and stood tall in the forest of the primordial world, and even pioneered the gathering of humanistic purple energy!

Li Yu's talent and brilliance were unparalleled throughout history!

Li Yu smiled calmly and nodded, "Of course!"

The words had barely left his mouth!

hum!

Surrounded by the power of the earth!

The power of the earth surged in like a tide, gathering on Li Yu's body!

As Li Yu cast a spell and formed hand seals, he saw the scattered earth energy rapidly gathering!

A purple glow appeared in Li Yu's palm!

It is precisely the authentic purple aura that is gathering and taking shape!

Houtu observed quietly, and couldn't help but marvel, "This method is profound... ancient... deep... and cannot be learned..."

Zhen Yuanzi was completely impressed and couldn't understand the methods of the First Emperor's virtuous brother at all!

The purple mist became increasingly condensed and substantial.

If Li Yu had not attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, it would have been impossible for him to condense the Earthly Purple Qi without decades of honing his skills!

After attaining the status of a Primordial Golden Immortal, his magical power and cultivation underwent a qualitative change!

The speed of refinement is astounding!

Houtu, seeing the purple aura in Li Yu's palm becoming increasingly substantial, belatedly realized, "You've attained enlightenment?"

"It was just luck," Li Yu said modestly.

Zhen Yuanzi, standing to the side, was anything but modest, exclaiming, "That's right! The First Emperor attained the Dao of the Primordial Golden Immortal! And he did so through sheer force!"

"Hiss!" Even Houtu's face showed shock.

Li Yu will definitely attain enlightenment!

"To imitate the Father God... and prove the Way through force?"

Houtu gazed at Li Yu with her beautiful eyes, unable to see through him, truly unable to see through him!

He exudes a dazzling aura that always shocks, amazes, and amazes people!

He seems to possess limitless potential and limitless possibilities!

boom!

Houtu raised her hand, "Within the Netherworld, the Earthly Dao reigns supreme!"

"The power of the underground is gathering!"

boom!

The power of the earth swept in with overwhelming force, pouring into Li Yu's body!

The purple energy in his palm condensed at an astonishing speed!

I don't know how much time has passed!

The power of the underground passage receded like a receding tide!

Li Yu raised his hand.

A wisp of purple mist floated in mid-air!

Zhen Yuanzi's heart was in turmoil. "This...this is..."

"This is the authentic purple aura!"

Li Yu pushed the authentic purple energy towards Zhen Yuanzi!

Zhen Yuanzi touched the purple aura!

The purple aura entered the body and connected with the primordial spirit, creating a natural sense of intimacy.

Nothing more!

Zhen Yuanzi founded the lineage of Earth Immortals, becoming the ancestor of Earth Immortals, and was in harmony with the Dao of Earth!

Zhen Yuanzi's primordial spirit resonated with the purple aura!

Simply comprehend the Purple Qi! You can then attempt to entrust your primordial spirit to the Purple Qi and become a Saint of the Earthly Path!

Without hesitation, Houtu raised her hand, gathering the power of the earth and empowering Zhen Yuanzi's body. "The final battle of the Primordial Immortals Formation is imminent. I will help you comprehend and fuse with the Purple Qi!"

"Thank you, Goddess Houtu!"

Li Yu also expressed his gratitude.

Houtu opened her mouth as if to speak, but then stopped herself. This time it was a collaboration, not a cause-and-effect relationship!

therefore!

Li Yu only owed Houtu a small debt of karma.

Houtu knew that if the eleven ancestral witches wanted to be resurrected, any chance of survival would lie entirely with him!

The great battle of the primordial era has not yet begun!

It's too early to say.

"We'll discuss this matter again after the final battle of the Primordial Ten Thousand Immortals Formation."

Houtu pondered for a long time before summoning the Book of Life and Death, saying, "This treasure may be temporarily lent to Fellow Daoist Qin Shi Huang."

Li Yu stared at the Netherworld treasure, the Book of Life and Death, lost in thought. "???"

"Houtu... is she really that generous and magnanimous?"
