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

The overwhelming imperial aura surveyed the heavens and earth, looking down upon all living beings. Li Shimin merely snorted coldly, and the aura of the pinnacle of martial arts pressed down on Hongjiang with the national destiny of the Tang Dynasty.

Although the black snake possessed the combat strength of a mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, its true cultivation level was only at the peak of the initial stage of Great Luo Golden Immortal. Facing a powerful imperial figure like Li Shimin, it had absolutely no power to resist.

With just a cold snort from Li Shimin, the overwhelming imperial pressure had already injured the black snake.

Immediately, Li Shimin's majestic and domineering voice echoed throughout the land, the Nine Tripods trembled, and the next moment, endless sacred light illuminated the entire Hongjiang.

"Demons exist in the Nine Provinces, harming our human race; they must be slain!" Li Shimin's indifferent voice rang out as he swung his sword southward, unleashing endless, sharp sword energy that swept across the surrounding space.

The Heavenly Strategy Sword was also filled with the light of an endless sacred artifact of humanity, and the endless laws of the imperial way were also added to the Heavenly Strategy Sword. The power of this sword reached the level of the early stage of quasi-saint.

This sword strike locked onto the black snake, and even the black snake burning its life essence could not resist this locked divine sense.

Moreover, Black Serpent also discovered that there seemed to be more than just the Human Emperor in the shadows; there appeared to be other, even more terrifying beings.

Even the black snake, affected by karma, had crystal-clear eyes at this moment. Just as he was about to kneel down and beg for mercy, Tian Ce Sword and Li Shimin did not give him any chance.

The sword severed the black snake's head, and its massive body fell into the Hongjiang River. The tongue, still exuding the aura of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, was hung by Li Shimin on the city gate of Jiangzhou, where Chen Guangrui had taken office, to suppress the ancient demon and prevent it from daring to act recklessly against the human race again.

Countless demons living in the Nine Provinces, seeing that the current Human Emperor could easily kill such a ferocious being with just one sword strike, all became more restrained.

Seeing this, countless ministers praised the king's wisdom, and for a time, the fate of the Nine Provinces was slightly altered.

…………

In the Jing River of the human race, the Jing River Dragon King was enraged when he saw the giant black snake being slain. His aura burst uncontrollably throughout the entire Jing River Dragon Palace.

"Uncle, you died so tragically... Your son will definitely avenge you!!" The Dragon King of the Jing River had bloodshot eyes at this moment.

That black snake was his real father!

This is also the key to the Jinghe Dragon King's ability to occupy a river and enjoy its fortune in the Nine Provinces. Now that his uncle has been beheaded, how can he stay out of it!

"Guards!" With a furious shout from the Jinghe Dragon King, countless sea creatures in the entire Jinghe River rushed to the Dragon Palace.

The Bad Guys, who oversee all demons under heaven, also noticed the changes in the Jing River. Immediately, three Bad Guys at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level secretly infiltrated the Jing River. When they saw the Jing River Dragon King gathering a large army, intending to flood the people and vowing revenge...

The Bad Guys immediately relayed the news to Chang'an City, and Li Shimin was furious when he saw it.

"The Dragon King of the Jing River has colluded with a wicked scourge, harming my people. Where is Wei Zheng? He is here to carry out my decree to slay the demon and pacify the Jing River!" Li Shimin's voice echoed throughout Chang'an.

Upon hearing this, Wei Zheng bowed and accepted the order, and a surge of power immediately erupted from his body.

He was both an official in the human world and a celestial official, responsible for the execution of countless great demons and for recording and observing all living beings.

Moreover, when Wei Zheng served in the Heavenly Court, he was highly regarded by the Thunder Department Chief, the Nine Heavens Responding to the Origin of Thunder and Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable. Therefore, after the successful conclusion of the human dynasty, he would join the Heavenly Court.

Moreover, Wei Zheng possesses an aura of righteousness that makes him impervious to demons and monsters. Even though Wei Zheng is only at the high level of Taiyi Golden Immortal, his righteousness is unbreakable, even by Daluo Golden Immortals. Furthermore, he has the Heavenly Court's Demon-Slaying Platform at his disposal, which allows him to easily slay ordinary Daluo Golden Immortals.

Moreover, the Jinghe Dragon King is not even a Great Luo Golden Immortal; he is only at the initial stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal. He only reached this level by absorbing the merits and incense offerings of the Eternal Gathering. Wei Zheng can easily suppress him with just a flick of his hand.

After receiving the order, Wei Zheng soon arrived at the Jing River.

At this time, the Jing River Dragon King happened to learn that a fortune teller had come to Ximen Street. The fortune teller was the most accurate. The Jing River Dragon King, who was good at playing tricks on people, also transformed into a scholar in white robes and came to this place to ask for a fortune telling.

He was a Taiyi Golden Immortal, so he naturally disdained the calculations of mortals. Although there were countless great thinkers and philosophers during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods of the human race, now that the Eternal Era has passed, countless thinkers and philosophers have long since hidden in the Fire Cloud Cave, and many of the lineages in the Nine Provinces have also disappeared...

Therefore, with the idea of ​​playing around in the human world, the Jinghe Dragon King came to this place.

That fortune teller was unusual in appearance and handsome in demeanor. He was famous throughout the country and his skills were unparalleled in Chang'an.

The walls are adorned with pearls and jewels, the hall is filled with exquisite embroidery. The incense burner, shaped like a duck, burns continuously, and the water in the porcelain vase remains crystal clear. On either side are paintings by Wang Wei, and above the seat hangs a painting by Guiguzi.

This person is also the uncle of Yuan Tiangang, the current leader of the Bad Guys, and the current inheritor of the Ghost Valley lineage of the human race.

The Yuan Tiangang and Yuan Shoucheng clans were a prominent clan among the human race, and their lineage had been passed down through generations in Guigu. However, in Yuan Tiangang's generation, for some reason, he was not interested in the Guigu tradition, but instead showed great talent in Taoist arts. Later, Yuan Tiangang learned Taoist arts...

His uncle is revered as a successor of Guigu, and now his cultivation level is at the initial stage of Daluo Golden Immortal. He is also quite talented in arithmetic, and even ordinary quasi-saints may not be able to reach Yuan Shoucheng's level.

Therefore, when the Jing River Dragon King arrived at this place, Yuan Shoucheng couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. He then looked at the Jing River Dragon King and said directly, "Your fate cannot be foreseen. I recognize you; you are not a scholar, but the Jing River Dragon King. You wish to avenge the dead serpent, but you should know that the Human Emperor has already learned of this. You intend to harm the people and flood the land, thus incurring certain punishments and violating human laws. In your demon-slaying, you will likely face certain death. You need not worry about this; just quickly settle your affairs!"

Yuan Shoucheng's words seemed to have some kind of magic power, dispelling the karma on the Jinghe Dragon King. Suddenly, the Jinghe Dragon King, whose mind was perfectly clear, knelt down on the ground.

It was as if the body he had just been in no longer belonged to him; now, he was in complete control of his body.

Even the Dragon King of the Jing River was surprised by his behavior. Even if his entire family had died, he would never have considered taking revenge on the human race!

Humanity reveres him as the protagonist of the primordial destiny, and countless geniuses have emerged among them. There are countless beings at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal, let alone someone like him, a mere Taiyi Golden Immortal. He'd be more suited to be sent to his doom...

Seeing this, Yuan Shoucheng couldn't help but sigh. Since the Jinghe Dragon King had come to his stall by chance and formed a karmic connection with him, Yuan Shoucheng couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

The Ghost Valley lineage is no weaker than the myriad paths of the primordial world, all seeking one of the great paths. While it may not be as extensive as the Intercepting Sect, it still possesses the breadth of all paths in the world.

Therefore, Yuan Shoucheng frowned and began to deduce, but the more he deduced, the more silent he became. After some time, Yuan Shoucheng couldn't help but sigh softly.

"This cause and effect were predetermined. Wei Zheng is already waiting for you in your Dragon Palace. Your chance of survival lies in the Netherworld. When the great primordial forces unfold, if you and your uncle wait patiently in the Netherworld for the great calamity to occur, and someone enters the Netherworld, and you plot to appease its protectors, you can safeguard future generations and gain numerous opportunities." Yuan Shoucheng said quietly to the Jing River Dragon King. (End of Chapter)
