Primordial Era: I am a member of the Jie Sect, and I am the God of Literature.

Chapter 30 The Eighteen Levels of Hell Return to Their Places, the Great Emperor of Fengdu Wants to Emerge, and the Sage Bestows a Book upon the People

After the fourth level of the Yellow Springs Road, Su Shao Chen continued forward and came to a place inhabited by souls filled with sin and karma. Stepping into it, it was as if there was an invisible array that made the souls feel that the place was very lively, enticing one soul after another to want to enter and explore.

These souls, filled with sin and karma, are unable to move forward due to their incomplete limbs and can only linger and gather here.

When the healthy souls, lured by the excitement, arrive, they seize the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, find new limbs to replace their own, and continue their journey.

Instead of destroying the evil spirits that filled the place, Su Shao Chen rearranged the formation.

These sinful souls are allowed to tempt those who come to be reincarnated; if a soul cannot resist the temptation, it loses its right to be reincarnated.

After setting up the formation and giving orders to the evil spirits, Su Shao Chen waved his hand, and a perfectly smooth stone tablet appeared in front of him, with three large characters written on it: "Wild Ghost Village".

Thus, the fifth level of the Road to the Underworld came into being.

After the fifth trial was completed, the Road to the Underworld was nearing its end. Su Shao Chen sensed this and softly uttered, "The Underworld appears!"

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the ground shook violently, and the laws of the underworld appeared like chains. A heavy city filled with yin energy appeared, and the underground passage sensed it, and the three characters "Fengdu City" automatically appeared in the innate inscription.

"The Mirror of Evil and the Well of Bewitching Souls have appeared!"

The two spiritual treasures from the Netherworld sensed Su Shao Chen's summons and transformed into a stream of light, appearing before him. Each of them exuded the aura of an innate spiritual treasure.

"go."

Su Shao Chen gave a soft shout, and the Mirror of Retribution hung in the Qin Guang King's palace, forming a huge mirror in which all the dead would be interrogated.

The Bewitching Well falls to the ground and transforms into a well. All the souls of the dead must drink the Bewitching Soup before being interrogated about their crimes.

After the Mirror of Retribution and the Bewitching Well were returned to their places, Su Shao Chen also arrived at the rear of Fengdu City. A series of Netherworld Laws emerged and he pushed out a palm towards the rear of Fengdu City. With a loud bang, an endless abyss was instantly formed behind Fengdu City, which is also the place where the Eighteen Levels of Hell are located.

"Fire! Tools!"

With the Netherworld Laws enveloping him, Su Shao Chen's mouth held the Heavenly Mandate, and earth fire powerful enough to annihilate a Quasi-Saint appeared. Pieces of innate spiritual treasure refining materials and acquired spiritual treasure refining materials appeared in front of Su Shao Chen.

Although Su Shao Chen did not have a high level of skill in weapon crafting, he seemed to be possessed by a magician at this moment, and could easily craft spiritual treasures of various grades.

All the refining materials were fused together by Su Shao Chen, and under the refining of endless earth fire, a pagoda with eighteen stories was vaguely formed.

One by one, the laws of the netherworld were also injected into this pagoda by Su Shao Chen. In an instant, the pagoda was completely formed, and its grade became increasingly fluctuating.

After-birth low-grade spiritual treasure, after-birth mid-grade spiritual treasure, after-birth high-grade spiritual treasure, after-birth supreme-grade spiritual treasure!

The pagoda also continuously emanated boundless power, eventually transforming into a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure.

After the pagoda was completed, Su Shao Chen continued to forge weapons: scissors, knives, steamers, copper pillars...

After an unknown amount of time, Su Shao Chen had finished refining all of the dozen or so spiritual treasures. Su Shao Chen stopped what he was doing, and at this moment, endless lightning appeared in the Netherworld. The dozen or so spiritual treasures also turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the lightning.

After being tempered by endless lightning, the dozen or so spiritual treasures imbued with the laws of the underworld reached their peak, each radiating an infinitely powerful aura.

"The eighteen levels of hell are back in their place!" Su Shao Chen shouted softly.

The pagoda, suspended in mid-air, instantly transformed into a colossal object, its spire pointing to the highest point of the Netherworld, while its base descended into the abyss that Su Shao Chen had photographed.

After the eighteen levels of hell were restored to their original positions, an eighteen-story pagoda stood in Fengdu City, and began to operate on its own initiative without anyone deliberately controlling it.

One after another, the laws of the underworld appeared on the pagoda, as if the eighteen levels of hell had begun to work, emitting terrifying suction forces that drew countless souls from the underworld who were eligible for imprisonment into the eighteen levels of hell.

The magical treasures that accompanied each level of hell also transformed into a stream of light and entered the eighteen levels of hell.

The eighteen levels of hell, each a different realm, from the first level, the Hell of Tongue-Pulling, to the eighteenth level, the Hell of Sawing and Knives, each representing various sins and the time to be punished...

Just like the first level of the Tongue-Pulling Hell, which punishes those who sow discord, slander and harm others, are glib-tongued, use clever words to argue, and lie and deceive others, the eighteenth level punishes those who cut corners, deceive their superiors, and engage in unfair trade...

Each level of hell also possesses a unique spiritual treasure, and with the blessing of the laws of the underworld, countless treasures can be generated within the eighteen levels of hell for use by the underworld officials who carry out executions.

After the eighteen levels of hell were restored to their proper places, Su Shao Chen also stopped. Looking at Fengdu City standing on the Netherworld, he felt that something was missing.

The corresponding laws of the underworld and the underground passage could be vaguely transmitted to him, indicating that the underworld was not yet complete!

"What's missing..." Su Shao Chen couldn't help but fall into thought.

At that moment, Empress Pingxin's voice rang in Su Shao Chen's ears: "Power!"

Upon hearing Lady Pingxin's words, Su Shao Chen immediately realized what was missing. Although the Underworld had appeared, it still lacked a deity to suppress, govern, and rule the netherworld!

As he thought of this, countless laws of the underworld appeared on his body, making his aura even stronger. Su Shao Chen's divine sense enveloped the entire underworld.

He was searching for a spiritual treasure or root that could house a deity: the Heartbreak Grass, the Red Spider Lily, the Three Lives Stone...

When Su Shao Chen's divine sense swept over the Three Lives Stone, he paused. Although the Three Lives Stone was also an extremely mysterious and top-grade innate spiritual treasure, it was still lacking something in order to rule and control the Underworld.

At this moment, the aura of a spiritual treasure outside the Samsara Palace instantly caught Su Shao Chen's attention. It was the Book of Man among the three books of Heaven, Earth, and Man!

Su Shao Chen knew that the Book of Life and Death and the Spring and Autumn Reincarnation Brush (Soul-Hooking Brush) were the work of Consort Pingxin.

"Thank you for your help, Your Majesty."

After finding the most suitable deity for the underworld, Su Shao Chen briefly considered how to bring this deity, who holds the power of the netherworld and rules the underworld, to the world.

After his feud with the Lord of Mount Tai, and following discussions by the Sage, he took over the power that originally belonged to the Lord of Mount Tai.

Su Shao Chen himself cultivates the Xuanmen method, so it's impossible for him to stay in the Netherworld forever. Moreover, even if he were to stay in the Netherworld, if he wasn't cultivating the Netherworld method, his cultivation in the Netherworld would be compromised.

Therefore, if one wants to possess power and the fortune of the underworld, but also wants to avoid affecting one's cultivation in the primordial world, one must have an avatar to rule the underworld on one's behalf.

Having thought this through, Su Shao Chen had already figured out what he should do next.

Just as Su Shao Chen was pondering, the Tongtian Sect Master on Jin'ao Island instantly used his great power to cover up the secrets of heaven, so that countless powerful beings in the primordial world could only continue to sense the movements of the Netherworld, but did not know what exactly happened next...

The other saints all sensed that the secrets of heaven had been obscured. After glancing at Golden Turtle Island, they no longer paid attention to the situation in the Netherworld.

After disrupting the heavenly secrets, the Tongtian Sect Master's gaze pierced through the void, and he couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the enlightened Su Shao Chen.

Yunxiao's disciple is very much to his liking. Since he began wandering the prehistoric world, he has repeatedly brought him surprises. He is very much looking forward to seeing how far Su Shaochen can go in his future development.
