Hei Fengshen's infinite deduction to become a saint

Having thought this through, he already had a plan in mind, and a complete set of arguments was clear in his mind.

"Let's set off for the underworld."

Li Changshou left the northern lands without hesitation, showing no concern for the Shang Dynasty officials who were searching for him.

In half a month, he arrived in Liangzhou, one of the nine provinces of the Southern Continent.

The landscape of this world of gods is divided into four continents, and the core area of ​​the human race in the Southern Continent is the Nine Provinces, which were the lands divided by the ancient Yu the Great.

His destination was Fengdu Mountain in Liangzhou, a place that happened to have a Yin-Yang Road leading to the underworld.

However, at this time, Fengdu Mountain did not yet have the Fengdu Ghost City; it was just a strange mountain range.

In Li Changshou's memory, Fengdu City was built against the mountain, with layers of buildings rising from the foot of the mountain, where countless ghosts and gods lived.

At this moment, he stood outside Fengdu Mountain, looking up in that direction.

As far as the eye can see, neither sun nor moon can be seen. Fengdu Mountain is shrouded in a layer of gray-black mist all year round. The land is deathly gray, with no green grass or living trees. Only twisted and withered trees stand obliquely, their branches like ghost claws reaching towards the sky.

Scattered eerie flames drifted slowly along the ground, white bones were half-buried in the cracked earth, a silent wind swirled, and faint fragments of souls floated in the mist.

The yin energy and malevolent energy here are so intense that no living person can survive here for more than a short time.

Li Changshou transformed into a rabbit and activated his supernatural power - the Illusory Realm of Death.

In a flash, it disappeared into Fengdu Mountain, its eyes flashing with a strange light as it captured the flow of Yin energy between heaven and earth.

He soon discovered the entrance to the Yin-Yang Road to the Underworld, located deep in the middle of Fengdu Mountain.

In a flash, they darted inside and soon arrived at a cave entrance, from which a powerful aura of yin energy emanated.

Li Changshou glanced inside and silently slipped in. The area was filled with faint spatial fluctuations, and was surrounded by dense death energy, yin energy, and baleful energy.

After traveling for an unknown amount of time, the ground turned into black soil, from which boundless yin energy emanated. Li Changshou's heart skipped a beat, "Is this the Yellow Springs Yin-Yang Road?"

As he continued forward, faint ripples occasionally flashed around him, as ghost messengers drove in large numbers of souls.

They all held soul-hooking ropes in their hands and wore underworld messenger badges at their waists, emitting a strange aura that allowed them to enter the Yellow Springs from anywhere in the mortal world.

Li Changshou carefully concealed himself and soon arrived at the end of the Yellow Springs Road, where a huge gate to the underworld stood.

Passing through the gates of hell, one arrives at an utterly desolate land, shrouded in endless gray mist, the ground cracked and lifeless.

But eerie roars could be heard from time to time in the mist, and mysterious figures could be seen flashing by.

The eerie atmosphere here was extremely strong, and Li Changshou felt uncomfortable the moment he arrived.

Even the Rabbit's supernatural powers cannot withstand this chilling coldness that targets the soul.

However, the radiance of merit within the primordial spirit protects it from the chilling influence.

Li Changshou quietly followed the large group of souls being escorted by the ghost messengers forward.

In his illusory state, these ghost messengers cannot see him.

A red-faced ghost said in a low voice, "We've captured quite a few souls this time. Maybe the higher-ups will be pleased and reward us with a cultivation technique."

Another ghost messenger scoffed, "Keep dreaming."

"We're destined to be ghost messengers our whole lives; we should be grateful if they even give us a single pill."

The red-faced ghost sighed, "Alas, our underworld is really too poor."

"If only I could join the Heavenly Court, I've heard that the heavenly soldiers and generals receive a fixed monthly salary."

"It is said to be refined from the essence of blood and food."

The blue-faced ghost's expression changed, and he struck the ghost on the forehead with a palm.

"Shut up! Are you out of your mind? The one up there hates blood-eating pills the most. If you dare to even think about it, you're asking for death."

The red-faced ghost messenger also jumped up, then chuckled and said, "Just kidding, just kidding, brother, please don't spread rumors."

The blue-faced ghost snorted coldly, "Of course I won't spread rumors. We've been partners for so long, I don't want to replace you."

"But I must try that pot of Yin Spirit Wine in your house."

The red-faced ghost nodded helplessly upon hearing this, "You rascal, you're taking advantage of my misfortune again."

The two were bickering, but Li Changshou's heart stirred as he listened.

"It seems that the Netherworld ruled by Lady Pingxin is quite averse to blood-based elixirs."

"This is my chance!"

"I'm much more confident in persuading her now."

"Whether I can achieve my goal depends on a calm and peaceful attitude."

Three days later, they arrived at Fengdu City.

Outside the city stands a massive platform for longing for home, the place where countless souls make their final pilgrimage to their hometown.

After passing the Viewing Platform, you will reach the Three Lives Stone, where the images of three lifetimes are reflected. Only then will you enter Fengdu City to be judged.

However, the underworld is not perfect yet. The Ten Kings of Hell are not all there; there is only one Yama King. As for the Northern Yin Emperor of Fengdu, he has not yet returned to his position.

The reason they haven't returned to their positions seems to be due to suppression, with the shadows of the Six Sages and Lady Pingxin appearing behind it. This information comes from the calculations made by the Jade Tablet of Creation.

Li Changshou did not enter Fengdu City, but instead circled around and headed directly from the outer perimeter towards the enormous cycle of reincarnation behind him.

Reincarnation is a giant vortex located at the very back of Fengdu Ghost City, where there is a vast black ocean that stretches to an unknown distance.

Li Changshou quietly crept up to this place and could see a huge Reincarnation Platform below the Reincarnation Realm, with six large gates on it.

One by one, the souls were thrown into different gates, and then transformed into streams of light that rushed toward six different locations in the huge vortex above.

His gaze fell upon the black water, and his heart skipped a beat, filled with boundless horror.

That is karma, an endless ocean of karma.

Li Changshou frowned deeply. "Huh, that's strange. According to legend, reincarnation absorbs karma, but how come there's an ocean of karma here?"

Reincarnation is a purification tool that cleanses all karmic debts on the soul, allowing new life to be born continuously in this world, and ensuring that all souls have a next life.

Furthermore, the more karma one absorbs and purifies through reincarnation, the stronger one becomes, eventually becoming unshakeable even to saints—a product of the convergence of billions of forces.

But now, this karma has transformed into an ocean, completely different from what Li Changshou previously understood.

Li Changshou frowned, his attention focused on the Jade Disc of Creation.

"Why does the ocean of karma appear?"

The Jade Disc of Creation shone brightly.

An answer that surprised Li Changshou came to mind.

Everything in this world is tainted by abnormal pollution, and reincarnation is no exception.

The karma generated by all life in this world exceeds the purification limit of the cycle of rebirth, which is transformed into the cycle of rebirth. Eventually, a small portion of this karma will accumulate and eventually transform into an ocean of karma.

As the ocean of karma continues to accumulate, one day the entire underworld will be swallowed up and eroded by karma.

The Great War of Gods in this world, and the establishment of the God-Investiture system, were partly motivated by a desire to resolve the dangers of the Ocean of Karma.

Li Changshou was slightly taken aback when he saw this information. After a moment of contemplation, a serious look flashed in his eyes.

"Although this world is largely the same as the myths of my past life, there are many subtle differences in the details."

"But it seems there is a hand constantly correcting these subtle differences, guiding everything toward a predetermined history."

The more Li Changshou observed, the more he felt that this world was full of strange contradictions.

According to the rules and development of this world, such similar histories should not occur, yet reality is so similar.

"There is definitely a huge secret hidden here."

Looking at the dim and lifeless Jade Disc of Creation, I saw that its power had been depleted again.

"Never mind, I'll do the calculations when I have enough power. Next, I should see Consort Pingxin."

He looked around and soon frowned.

There appears to be the outline of a building at the center of the vortex of reincarnation, but with his strength, it is impossible for him to get close to the vortex.

After a moment's thought, he thought, "Legend has it that Meng Po is an incarnation of Pingxin Yidao. It seems that's where I should start."

Li Changshou turned and left, then quietly slipped into Fengdu City after circling around.

They soon arrived at the Bridge of Helplessness, avoiding the gazes of the ghostly messengers of the underworld.

Looking at Meng Po from afar, she was an old woman with silver hair and a gray robe, her face showing signs of aging.
