Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 201 Nine Netherworlds: Teasing the Monkey

The true yang hangs in the nine heavens, and the common people live under the nine heavens!

Li Changsheng exuded an ancient, sun-like aura, the power of immortals and gods, surpassing heaven and earth, even surpassing true dragons.

At this moment, he was like an ancient and eternal god, impervious to the passage of time and unshakable by space and time!

High above all, everything in the world is below him, supreme and noble, incomparable!

"The ancient and sacred embryo of heaven and earth, the noble and holy one!"

Li Changsheng thought of his past life, the legendary innate saint.

They have existed since time immemorial, long since becoming supreme immortals. To them, the affairs of the mortal world are but dust and smoke.

Mountains and rivers may change, and all living beings may perish, but only oneself will live on forever!

The flowing lines of longevity encompass the Great Dao of the Sun, the Dao of the True Dragon, and the Dao of Heaven, Earth, and All Living Beings.

  

His world of sixty-five leaves now hangs like a blazing sun, illuminating all realms.

The true dragon roars, soaring high in the sky.

"In my past life, there were four divine beasts that suppressed the four corners of heaven and earth, and I should follow their example."

After a moment's thought, Li Changsheng merged the four true dragons into his body, into every world, and suppressed the four extremes of heaven and earth.

As the four true dragons merged, his world of sixty-five leaves rapidly solidified, and the illusory images of the mortal world within them also solidified into reality.

Just like the real world!

Unfortunately, this Sun Holy Rune is only a fragment, not the complete version.

Even though it was only incomplete, it far surpassed the True Dragon Path, which shows how powerful the Sun Demon Ancestor was back then!

Li Changsheng's true form also transformed into a golden solar dragon, its scales radiating terrifying solar fire.

Instead of rushing out of seclusion, he integrated the Way of the Sun into his own Longevity Scripture.

Having already integrated the paths of four true dragons, his Longevity Scripture has now been further enhanced by integrating the path of the sun.

The Eternal Sun's Undying Body!

An aura of timelessness emanates from within, and combined with the longevity patterns, it can be described as an immortal deity.

Of course, this only refers to immortals and gods at the Yangshen realm!

Once he achieves the status of a carefree immortal, he will be a true immortal!

Forty years passed after Li Changsheng perfected the Longevity Dao Scripture.

Opening his eyes, he was greeted by Yang Dingtian, who had been waiting for him.

"Master, you're finally awake!" Yang Dingtian exclaimed urgently. "How did you comprehend the Great Dao of the Sun? Why do I sense the aura of the Sun Demon Ancestor on you?"

"This is all thanks to you," Li Changsheng said.

"Thanks to me?" Yang Dingtian frowned. "This disciple did not teach the Sun Sacred Mark to Master."

"You helped me repair the Fusang tree, and I gleaned some insights from within it," Li Changsheng said.

"Hibiscus?"

Yang Dingtian was taken aback, then realized, "No wonder. The Fusang tree is indeed the most ancient solar rune, but it is only incomplete and not yet perfect. Master's ability to comprehend it is truly astonishing."

"You've witnessed my ability to create power before," Li Changsheng said calmly, without blushing at all.

I absolutely cannot let Yang Dingtian know that I learned about the Sun Sacred Mark through the Demon Seed; that would be too heartbreaking for my disciple.

"Master, Master, could you pass on your understanding of the Way of the Sun to your disciple?" Yang Dingtian asked, his face showing both anticipation and a touch of shame.

I didn't give him the Sun Saint Mark, but now I want related insights. I really feel ashamed of my master!

Li Changsheng smiled faintly and said, "Of course, you are my disciple, so naturally I will pass it on to you."

He cares deeply about his disciples!

No, it wasn't because they wanted Yang Dingtian to comprehend more of the Sun Sacred Runes that they gave it to him.

"This disciple is ashamed, but the Sun Sacred Mark is an artifact of our ancestors. Whether it can be passed on is a decision only my elder brother can make."

Yang Dingtian lowered his head and respectfully kowtowed: "This disciple cannot give Master the Sun Sacred Mark, but can only give the incomplete Moon Sacred Mark."

"You also know about the incomplete Taiyin Sacred Runes?" Li Changsheng asked in surprise.

He had thought that Yang Dingtian was only familiar with the Way of Taiyin and knew some profound Taiyin runes, but he never expected that he knew the ancient Taiyin sacred runes.

Although these sacred runes are incomplete, they are all the patterns of the first generation of Heaven and Earth Sacred Embryo. Their preciousness is absolutely no less than the inheritance of the three Great Dao Venerables of the Daoist sect!

"This disciple knows a little, but only elder brother knows the complete Taiyin Sacred Runes."

Yang Dingtian sighed, "In our time, the number of Taiyin Divine Birds was already extremely small. I wonder if they will still exist in this era."

"Your elder brother knows the complete Taiyin Sacred Runes?" Li Changsheng raised an eyebrow and said, "Over the years, I don't know if the Four Seas Dragon Kings have any news about your elder brother."

"Sigh, my eldest brother is proud, stubborn, and rather domineering. We have to listen to him in everything."

Yang Dingtian sighed, "Over the years, I've come to understand that even if I find my elder brother, I can't persuade him to come to Penglai and cultivate in peace."

"Your eldest brother will definitely show up and cause trouble for your brothers," Li Changsheng said calmly. "He can't possibly let the ambush go unavenged."

"Alas." Yang Dingtian sighed bitterly, his expression extremely complicated: "This disciple originally thought that coming to this era would mean that we ten brothers would lead an era, but unexpectedly, it has become an era of brotherhood slaughter!"

Li Changsheng sighed, "We are all born of the same root, why are we so eager to harm each other?"

"Master, I want to find out why my second brother attacked my eldest brother back then," Yang Dingtian said.

"With your current strength, you are no match for your second brother," Li Changsheng said, frowning. "Moreover, your second brother also possesses the Sun Immortal Sword. Even I, as his master, am not entirely confident that I can defeat him."

"I'm not trying to harm my second brother, I just want to find out the reason," Yang Dingtian said.

"Alright then, I'll go myself..."

Before Li Changsheng could finish speaking, the formation fluctuated, and Ao Qing, the Dragon King of the North Sea, arrived: "Brother, there's news about Yang Wushang, whom you asked us to keep an eye on."

"Oh?" Li Changsheng raised an eyebrow. Yang Dingtian looked at Ao Qing expectantly, but wisely kept quiet.

His identity in the outside world is that of a fire phoenix of the Phoenix Clan, not a celestial bird.

Ao Qing said, "Just yesterday, the Human King received a message from the Ancient Crocodile Clan of the Demon Race, demanding that they hand over the eight Sun God Birds, or they would send troops into the Central Plains."

"The ancient crocodile tribe demanded that they hand over eight sun birds?" Li Changsheng frowned.

"That's right. Xiao Wang had the aquatic tribes inquire about it. The ancient crocodile tribe is now ruled by the sun god bird Yang Wushang."

Ao Qing said, "And this Ancient Crocodile Clan is not unfamiliar either. They once joined forces with the Taiyin Heavenly Wolf Clan to disintegrate the Longevity Demon Kingdom, but were beaten so badly by the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor that they dared not come out."

Li Changsheng remembered that back then, the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor and many holy sons and daughters were trapped by Qing Tian in the ruins of the Eastern Continent.

The ancient crocodile clan and the Taiyin Heavenly Wolf took the opportunity to split the Longevity Demon Kingdom.

If it weren't for the presence of elders within their clan and the intervention of other ancient demon clans, the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor would have exterminated their entire clan.

"After so many years of recuperation, it seems that the ancient crocodile clan has once again set its sights on something," Li Changsheng said calmly.

"Brother, what should we do now? Should we go to the Crocodile Clan to find Yang Wushang?" Ao Qing asked.

"No need. Now that we know where Yang Wushang is, let's keep an eye on him," Li Changsheng said.

"By the way, brother, the King of Men invited us to a banquet in the Shang Dynasty several times, but we refused. The Netherworld King of Youming also sent people to invite you."

Ao Qing said.

Because Li Changsheng was in seclusion, Ao Qing helped him decline these invitations.

Li Changsheng pondered for a moment and said, "Next time there is a banquet in the Central Plains, you can go in my place. As for now, I will personally go to the Netherworld."

His void energy was sufficient; he was ready to seek out the Nine Netherworlds and achieve the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.

"Yes," Ao Qing replied respectfully.

"Feng Tian, ​​come with me to the Netherworld," Li Changsheng said calmly.

Yang Dingtian immediately transformed into a fire phoenix and took him to the Netherworld.

Ao Qing, on the other hand, returned to the North Sea Dragon Palace to cultivate in peace.

Over the years, by cultivating the True Dragon inheritance, Ao Qing's strength has become even greater.

Far from Beihai and Penglai, we soar into the sky.

Yang Dingtian asked, "Master, what should I do?"

Li Changsheng knew that Yang Dingtian was asking about matters between the brothers.

When brothers turn against each other, the youngest is caught in the middle and feels lost and confused.

"Since you've chosen to help your elder brother, then continue to help him," Li Changsheng said.

"But I don't want my other brothers to perish either," Yang Dingtian said in a low voice. "Once my eldest brother recovers from his injuries, even if my second brother has the Sun Immortal Sword, he will be no match for him."

"Speaking of which, what exactly is Yang Wushang's cultivation level?" Li Changsheng asked.

"We don't actually know our eldest brother's exact cultivation level." A look of awe appeared in Yang Dingtian's eyes. "Since we were born, we've heard legends about our eldest brother. Our elders have told us since childhood that he is exceptionally talented, second only to the Demon Ancestor..."

"Our eldest brother is extremely domineering in front of us, and we have to listen to him in everything, but he also values ​​our brotherhood very much."

"My eldest brother was very strict with us. Whenever I slacked off in my practice, he would force us to practice."

"When we were bullied, our eldest brother would send people to help us get justice, but he never actually did anything."

Li Changsheng listened quietly; no one knew Yang Wushang's exact strength.

From a young age, they were instilled with the idea that their eldest brother was exceptionally talented, which explains why these sun birds always boasted of their superior yang.

"I don't understand why Second Brother would do this. The other brothers shouldn't betray Eldest Brother," Yang Dingtian said blankly.

The turn of events was unexpected, and it dealt a blow to their brotherhood.

"It seems your elder brother is heartbroken," Li Changsheng said calmly.

According to Yang Dingtian, Yang Wushang cared a lot about his younger brothers, but it was precisely this brother he cared for and loved who stabbed him.

Having been betrayed by his closest relatives, even in his severely injured state, he would not dare to easily trust his other brothers again.

"I will instruct the Four Dragon Kings to keep an eye on their news," Li Changsheng said thoughtfully.

"Thank you, Master." Yang Dingtian said, now he could only rely on Li Changsheng.

Yang Dingtian spread his wings and flew away, crossing the void and arriving above the Netherworld Ruins.

The Netherworld was shrouded in a dark, ghostly aura, and even the soil on the ground had turned black.

The chilling aura sent a shiver down his spine.

With the Netherworld Token in hand, this chilling atmosphere dissipated.

The aura of the netherworld surged, and a Rakshasa appeared, proclaiming loudly, "Netherworld Realm, who is this powerful figure who has come?"

"I am Taiyi Daoist from Penglai in the North Sea, invited by Daoist Jiuyouming." Li Changsheng raised the Netherworld Token in his hand.

"So it's Master Taiyi, please." Rakshasa bowed respectfully. "The King of the Underworld has instructed that you may freely enter and leave the Netherworld. The King of the Underworld is currently in the City of Rebirth. I will guide you."

"Thank you for your trouble," Li Changsheng said.

The Rakshasa led the way, and the Netherworld energy separated, making way for a passage.

Li Changsheng led Yang Dingtian into the Netherworld.

A majestic stone gate, with a plaque hanging high above it—the Gate of the Underworld!

Passing through the Netherworld Gate, one enters the Netherworld, filled with dense Netherworld energy. The Ninth Underworld King statue at the entrance is gone, and the surrounding area has expanded.

The Netherworld Decree released light, enveloping him and Yang Dingtian, but their bodies entered the Netherworld.

The corridor ahead remained the same. Led by Luo Sha, Li Changsheng walked through the long corridor and arrived at the banks of the Nether River.

Buzz

The void rippled, and the aura of the netherworld gathered, forming a figure in black—Nine Netherworld!

"Finally, I've waited for you, fellow Daoist," Jiuyouming said calmly.

Rakshasa bowed respectfully and withdrew.

"I've been in seclusion for a while, and I just came here as soon as I emerged," Li Changsheng said with a faint smile. "It's been many years. How have you been, fellow Daoist?"

"The Underworld is not good," Jiuyouming sighed softly.

"Oh? What in this world could possibly trouble you, fellow Daoist?" Li Changsheng asked in surprise.

Jiu Youming was able to severely injure the third strongest person in the world who wielded the Sun Immortal Sword with a single finger; his strength was at least at the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top level.

In this era where the Three Flowers Gather at the Top of the Head cannot emerge, there are very few people who can threaten the Nine Netherworlds.

Jiuyouming asked, "Fellow Daoist, do you know about that monkey from the Daoist sect?"

"Sun Chengdao? What happened to him?" Li Changsheng's heart skipped a beat; this was his disciple.

"For some reason, Sun Chengdao has come to my Netherworld many times, wanting to touch upon reincarnation and understand its mysteries."

Jiuyouming frowned and said, "I originally planned to have the Daoist sect give an explanation after suppressing him, but Wutian came instead and told me not to make things difficult for Sun Chengdao."

"Oh? Is that so?" Li Changsheng raised an eyebrow. "Is Wutian trying to win over Sun Chengdao?"

"It's possible. In the Central Plains, although Wutian is quite powerful, he will still need a backer when he goes to the Eastern Continent after the Three Flowers Gather at the Top. It's not impossible for him to get involved with the Daoist sect."

Jiuyouming said, "Now Mingdu is almost regretting it. He shouldn't have agreed to Wutian's request for the Samsara Realm."

"It's just a monkey, how can it compare to a priceless treasure?" Li Changsheng asked. "Is there any news of Sun Chengdao now?"

"He's still outside, and Ming has sent a few Rakshasa to play with him," Jiuyouming said. "But Sun Chengdao is also truly capable, and he'll be back soon."

"Hmm? Play with him?" Li Changsheng looked puzzled.

Jiuyouming sighed softly, "We can't kill him, and we can't suppress him either. This wanted notice is just for show. As for Sun Chengdao, who is here to hone his skills, we can only send him some Rakshasa to practice with."

Li Changsheng: "..."

This is really putting you in a difficult position.

"Now that you're here, fellow Daoist, why don't you give Ming some advice?" said Jiu Youming.

"I know nothing about Sun Chengdao either. I need to know his purpose, why he wants to investigate reincarnation," Li Changsheng said. "Can Wutian contact Sun Chengdao?"

"Finding Sun Chengdao is not difficult," Jiuyouming said. "Wutian also searched for him, but that monkey runs away as soon as he sees people, and he runs extremely fast."
