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

Although Jieyin and Zhunti managed to hold back Minghe and Zhenyuanzi, they were unable to hold back Kong Xuan!

Even a sage wouldn't intervene!

Kong Xuan, the Second Sage, transformed into five-colored divine light, moving at the ultimate speed!

A sudden sneak attack!

Five-colored divine light flashed, directly sweeping away Ksitigarbha.

When Jieyin and Zhunti saw Ksitigarbha Kongxuan being swept away, they knew they were doomed.

"Damn Kong Xuan! You deserve to die!"

"This operation was supposed to be flawless, so how could we have been ambushed?"

"Could it be that the Dao Ancestor betrayed the West?"

"A trap set for me by the West?"

Jieyin and Zhunti began to have thoughts of retreating.

Styx, standing atop a twelve-petaled lotus of karmic fire, carrying Yuan Tu and Abi on his back, coldly cursed, "Don't you know that the Blood Sea and the Netherworld are inseparable?"

"You dare to run wild at our ancestor's doorstep? How could our ancestor tolerate you?"

"kill!"

Yuan Tu and Abi pierced the sky, their supreme killing sword energy crisscrossing the air!

In an instant!

Zhunti was beaten black and blue.

"It hurts! It hurts so much!"

Even Jieyin couldn't defeat Zhen Yuanzi.

After Kong Xuan suppressed and imprisoned Ksitigarbha, he was about to retreat!

Then a beam of mysterious light descended from the sky, heading straight for Kong Xuan, intending to break through the five-colored divine light and rescue Ksitigarbha!

It was Hongjun himself who took action!

"presumptuous!"

"What is the punishment for trespassing into the underworld?"

"In the netherworld! I am the supreme one!"

From the depths of the netherworld, an unparalleled pressure suddenly rose.

The power and weight of the pressure far surpassed that of Hongjun!

Houtu transformed into the six realms of reincarnation, attained the merits and fortune of the Great Dao, and thus became a 'Great Dao Sage'!

Even within the underground passage, Houtu is no weaker than Hongjun! Even at Hongjun's peak, Houtu is by no means inferior!

A Daoist aura descended from the chaos.

A Daoist aura emanated from the depths of the netherworld!

The two Daoist energies collided, unleashing a storm!

Even in the netherworld, ghosts and gods weep!

The storm of Taoist energy has subsided, leaving us in a standoff across the void!

Hongjun seemed to be sending a telepathic message to Houtu, attempting to win her over...

however!

Houtu completely ignored Hongjun, saying, "The Great Dao is above!"

When Hongjun saw Houtu directly say "The Great Dao is above", his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly withdrew his profound power!

Want to run now? Too late!

"By the Great Dao! The Netherworld is the vital place that maintains the stability of the primordial world and provides for the birth, death, and rebirth of countless beings. Today, these petty villains have disturbed this vital Netherworld and disrupted its normal operation!"

"May the Great Way bear witness!"

Houtu finished speaking.

Jieyin and Zhunti cried out, "Holy crap? What a huge hat!"

"Petty scoundrels interfering with the workings of the netherworld? How dare we in the West do that?"

With such a heavy burden placed on their heads, and the great punishment descending, how could Jieyin and Zhunti possibly bear it?

Half of their fortune has already been taken away; wouldn't the remaining fortune be even more severely diminished?

"A conspiracy! A damn conspiracy! The Dao Ancestor has harmed the West!"

then!

Jieyin and Zhunti truthfully replied, "We in the West are merely acting on orders; we in the West are not the masterminds."

"Dao Ancestor! Dao Ancestor is the mastermind!"

Shouting loyalty to the Taoist patriarch and then betraying him is no challenge for the West!

Better to die than to die, my fellow Daoist!

Hongjun was furious, "Damn it!"

boom!

hum!

In the netherworld, ghostly energy surged, forming an eye of the Great Dao!

The Great Way is impartial, exploring the netherworld and the universe!

The will of the Great Dao descends: "You have trespassed into the Netherworld! The storm of Daoist energy has disturbed the reincarnation of the dead!"

"Disrupting the normal operation of the netherworld, interfering with the life and death of countless beings! Punishment is warranted!"

"Xuanmen Hongjun shall compensate the Netherworld with eighty million strands of his fortune!"

"Jieyin and Zhunti must compensate the Netherworld with forty million strands of their fortune!"

Upon sensing the information of the Great Dao's will, Jieyin and Zhunti's faces turned even more ashen, like pig's livers. "Seize the young master?"

"Forty million strands of fortune? I might as well just wipe out the West."

"No compensation! Not even a penny!" Jieyin and Zhunti made their stance clear!

The will of the Great Dao changed: "The divine thunder of the Great Dao strikes four times, replacing compensation."

boom!

Click!

Then a great thunder dragon appeared, its body winding, and it crashed down!

A direct attack on the bodies of Jieyin and Zhunti!

boom!

Jieyin and Zhunti were severely injured by the divine lightning, bleeding profusely.

"It hurts! It hurts so much!"

The Buddha's body was damaged, his essence was damaged, and his cultivation level dropped.

That was only one strike!

Jieyin and Zhunti were frightened. If they were to be struck three more times by the Great Dao Divine Thunder, wouldn't they be knocked down from their sainthood?

"Pay! The West must pay! We've already suffered one blow; how about paying the remaining thirty million strands?"

The Will of the Great Dao: "Pay 40 million strands of luck as compensation, or suffer three more strikes of the Great Dao Divine Lightning as punishment!"

"It's so bitter! It's just too bitter!"

The introduction and the initial step were both lost.

Originally, there was a fortune of 200 million, but Duobao intercepted Buddhism and took away nearly 100 million.

Now, with another 40 million strands lost, rounded up or down, the West is completely devastated!

"Dao Ancestor! You're ruthless! You'd rather suffer the consequences yourself than let the West perish?"

"Are you really not giving the West a way to survive?"

Hongjun was too busy to deal with Jieyin and Zhunti.

Hongjun must compensate with 80 million strands of Qi; if he does not pay, he will be struck eight times by the Great Dao Divine Thunder!

The Great Dao Divine Thunder is formless, and its power is not static, but rather tailor-made!

For example, an ordinary cultivator might be severely injured by a divine lightning strike, but he would not die.

Similarly, even if a sage is struck, he will not die, but will only be severely injured.

To put it simply: it deducts a percentage from health, origin, cultivation, etc.

Hongjun was already severely injured, how could he dare to take another eight strikes of the Great Dao Divine Thunder?

then!

Hongjun chose to mobilize the Xuanmen's fortune to repay Youming. Hongjun has to admit defeat this time!

Boom! Buzz!

The fortune of the Xuanmen sect suddenly fluctuated!

Shouyang Mountain, Bajing Palace.

Just as the Humanist sect's fortune was about to break free, it was drawn away by Hongjun!

With raised eyebrows, the time of day, and the power of karma, the demonic magic transmitted its message: "No!"

Taiqing Laozi immediately nodded, slowly opened his eyes, and softly proclaimed, "Use the Taiji Diagram to suppress the destiny of the Human Sect!"

hum!

Humanity's influence and fortune are as stable as a mountain.

Hongjun's expression changed slightly. "Very good! Taiqing Laozi!"

Hongjun chose to mobilize the Chan Sect, drawing away their fortune to repay the Netherworld!

Kunlun Mountain, Yuxu Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun, who observes the heavens and earth, naturally knows about the affairs of the netherworld.

Seeing that Taiqing had not lent Hongjun any fortune, Yuanshi Tianzun naturally did not want to lend it to him either.

Why should I use the fortune of my Chan Sect to repay the Netherworld?

"Use the Pangu Banner to suppress the destiny of the Chan Sect!"

The spirit of the Chan sect remains unmoved, like a mountain!

Hongjun frowned, his anger rising within him. "Fine! Truly a good disciple of this old Daoist! Li Yu should deal with you all severely!"

Since neither the Human nor the Chan sects borrowed Hongjun's fortune, Hongjun could only borrow fortune from other sources!

Styx: "I can't lend you a single penny!"

Zhen Yuanzi: "The Earth Book! The Earth's membrane, suppressing the fortune of Wuzhuang Temple!"

Hongjun resorted to moral blackmail against Tongtian Jiaozhu, saying, "Disciple, you are my favorite. Can you bear to see your master suffer the divine lightning of the Great Dao?"

Having experienced the Investiture of the Gods and influenced by his son-in-law, the Master of Heaven had already subtly changed. "Then why were you punished by the Great Dao, Master?"

"Why did they join forces with Jieyin and Zhunti to launch a sneak attack on the Underworld?"

"Disciple cannot understand, truly cannot understand. Could it be that they intend to harm our son-in-law's human race?"

Hongjun remained silent.

Tongtian finally softened and said, "I can lend it to you. It's eight out and thirteen back. My Jie Sect's fortune is as vast as the sea. I'll lend you one hundred million strands of fortune (Hongjun actually received eighty million). Two and a half years later, return one hundred and thirty million strands of fortune to my Jie Sect. Rounding it up, it'll be one hundred and fifty million."

"Your disciple naturally feels sorry for you, Master, so I won't round it up a second time, otherwise I'd have to repay two hundred million in luck!"

"Of course, teacher, you swear an oath to the Great Dao now, and your fortune will be delivered immediately."

A white wolf trying to steal the sect with nothing?

Tongtian said, "My son-in-law led my Jie Sect to become invincible in the primordial world, working tirelessly to build up a vast fortune for the sect. How can I squander it so easily?"
