Primordial Era: Starting with the Immortals of the Jie Sect to Prove the Dao of Hunyuan

Chapter 97 Mid-stage Great Luo Immortal, Ghost Immortal Merit

As Li Qing finished speaking, various scenes began to appear in the Netherworld.

The pitch-black earth solidified from the void, and the dark sky shrouded the land. In the underworld, there was a mountain, majestic and entirely black, known as Yin Mountain.

With this mountain as the boundary, the Ten Palaces of the Underworld, the Eighteen Hells, the Mirror of Karma, the Three Lives Stone, the Bridge of Helplessness, the Gate of Hell, and the Road to the Underworld all manifest one by one.

A complete underworld was quickly built under the combined influence of creation and the laws of the world. Everything was completed naturally in the operation of the Dao, as if heaven and earth had been waiting for the birth of this world, only lacking an opportunity.

Li Qing's face was pale at this moment. Creating the Netherworld was still too much of a challenge for him.

Although his understanding of the laws of the world has advanced further and he has broken through to the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, his magical power is nearly exhausted and he can no longer support him in activating the laws of the world.

He cannot absorb spiritual energy in the Netherworld to restore his magical power, otherwise the Netherworld will soon become a pile of ruins. Another problem with the Netherworld is that no living beings have been born there.

"Since no living beings are born in the Netherworld, it seems that my path of the Ghost Immortal cannot be spread."

Li Qing sensed the feedback from the heavens, his face ashen.

"Senior brother, I'm here to help you!"

Yunxiao, who was standing to the side, seemed to have noticed that Li Qing still had unfinished business in the Netherworld. She placed a slender, fair hand on Li Qing's back and transferred a pure Shangqing magic power to him.

Upon seeing this, Bixiao and Qiongxiao immediately stopped talking and began to transfer their magical power to Li Qing.

Having obtained all the magical power of the Three Immortals, Li Qing finally recovered a trace of it. He then forcefully summoned a little more magical power and laws, and spoke the Heavenly Mandate.

"On the road to the underworld, the red spider lilies bloom!"

A thunderclap resounded in the underworld, striking the dark path to the Yellow Springs.

The next moment, a huge wave surged above the sea of ​​blood, and droplets of blood fell onto the blue light hanging down from the gourd of reincarnation. Before long, the red light sprouted tender buds and grew green leaves.

The moment the petals of the red spider lily unfold, ten thousand rays of light shoot out from the flower's heart, turning half of the road to the underworld into a deep crimson gold.

Li Qing took in the whole scene; in the center of the red spider lily's stamen, a phantom was curled up.

The phantom was initially only the size of a palm, with a blurred outline, like a wisp of mist that was about to dissipate.

But as the ghostly light continued to flow into her body from the petals, the phantom began to grow, its outline became clearer, and it gradually took on the appearance of a woman.

This woman is different from the souls in the sea of ​​blood who carry the obsessions and resentment of their previous lives. She is as pure as water, born from the very source of the underworld.

When she opened her eyes, the laws of the entire Netherworld trembled slightly.

The divine runes on the Gates of Hell hummed in unison, a sliver of light fell upon the empty desk in the Hall of the Dead, and even the slowly rotating passageway of the Six Paths of Reincarnation hummed softly.

She looked up in a daze and saw Li Qing standing at the highest point.

"Born from the red spider lily, let us call you the Other Shore. May we all cultivate ourselves to reach the Other Shore."

Li Qing's voice fell from above, neither too loud nor too soft, yet it clearly entered her mind.

Bi'an trembled and immediately knelt down, his forehead touching the cold, black earth.

"Greetings, Lord of the Realm."

Li Qing shook his head slightly: "There is only one ruler of the Netherworld, and that is Houtu Niangniang, who has transformed herself into the cycle of reincarnation. I am merely managing this place on her behalf. However, since you wish to follow me, I will give you a way."

Three slender hands were still behind him, and the Three Immortals were each refining pills and transferring their magical power into him.

Li Qing let out a long sigh of relief. After all this hard work, it was finally his turn to reap the rewards!

Li Qing formed a hand seal, and the laws of the world surged out from the auspicious clouds, transforming into a huge stone tablet that landed before the Gates of Hell.

The entire stele is jet black, covered with countless innate divine patterns that slowly flow and evolve into a complete path of cultivation.

Then, raising his hand, the Reincarnation Gourd flew out from the auspicious clouds and hovered above the Yellow Springs Road. The gourd's mouth opened, releasing the souls that had been collected earlier.

"In the beginning of the Netherworld, there existed a lineage of Ghost Immortals. Now, my Xuanqiong sect, responding to the call of Heaven and Earth, has created the methods of Ghost Immortals for you to cultivate. The opportunity is here; hurry and seize it!"

Those released souls, having already had their resentment and obsessions washed away by the Scripture of Salvation, now thrive in the netherworld.

Upon hearing Li Qing's words, he hurriedly began to explore the cultivation methods of the Ghost Immortal Path.

As Li Qing's voice fell, Bi An was enlightened and looked up at the stone tablet, his eyes reflecting the flowing divine patterns.

Her lips moved slightly as she silently recited the scriptures on the stele. At first, her recitation was awkward, but it gradually became fluent, and finally, a bright, ethereal light emanated from her, and her aura rose steadily.

The other shore was the first living being in the underworld, and its destiny was naturally connected to that of this world.

The Ghost Immortal Technique is a lineage created by Li Qing based on the Netherworld, sharing the same origin as her. The combination of the two allows her cultivation speed to be beyond the norm.

As the other shore and countless souls begin to cultivate the path of ghost immortals, in the long river of destiny, bits and pieces of profound merit begin to condense once again.

"Earth Immortals, Ghost Immortals, once the era of the Lich Kings ends, that will be the time for my Celestial Immortal path to reign supreme!"

On Shouyang Mountain, Laozi flicked his finger, locking onto a celestial secret: "When all five immortals emerge, that will be the time when Xuanqiong achieves quasi-sainthood!"

Boom!

From the depths of the underworld, a series of loud noises resounded.

Bi'an opened her eyes, and a powerful aura rose from her body.

At this moment, she has already stepped into the realm of the Ghost King!

After her, ten more people successively achieved the Ghost King realm, and endless Xuanhuang merits had gathered in the sky.

Seeing this, Li Qing didn't hesitate and said, "Heaven above, the Xuanqiong Sect of the Jie Sect has created the Path of Ghost Immortals and spread its teachings to the Netherworld, which has already proven effective. Therefore, I am the ancestor of Ghost Immortals!"

As soon as he said this, the boundless Xuanhuang merit descended, directly entering Li Qingqing's cloud of light.

Li Qing, through his skillful manipulation of creation, opened up the Netherworld and established the various landscapes of the Underworld, laying the foundation for the cycle of reincarnation. Although this merit is not as grand as Houtu's transformation into the cycle of reincarnation, it is still one of the greatest merits since the creation of heaven and earth, even greater than Zhen Yuanzi's when he founded the path of Earth Immortals and proclaimed himself the Ancestor of Earth Immortals!

Yunxiao gazed at the golden light of merit pouring down, his eyes sparkling with wonder.

Bixiao and Qiongxiao were completely dumbfounded; they had never seen such a magnificent amount of merit before!

The golden beam of light cascaded down from the heavens like a waterfall, bathing the entire Netherworld in a golden glow.

"With so much merit, after refining it, won't Senior Brother's cultivation level directly advance from Great Luo Golden Immortal to Quasi-Saint and sever his good corpse?!"

'

A hint of disappointment flashed in Bixiao's eyes. She had been working hard to cultivate, but the gap between her and Li Qing was widening.

Seeing that the usually lively Bixiao looked slightly downcast, Yunxiao and Qiongxiao both stepped forward and took her hands.
