From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Jiang Liu and Ba Jing brought the prince back to his room together, and then with a thought, Jiang Liu's primordial spirit left his body and went straight into the Netherworld.

But we see:

Thousands of sword trees have fallen, and ten thousand layers of knife mountains have been leveled. The demons and monsters in the City of the Wrongfully Dead have been transformed, and the ghosts under the Bridge of Helplessness have been reborn.

It was that divine light that shone forth like a heavenly pardon, illuminating the darkness of the underworld.

What kind of existence is Jiang Liu's primordial spirit?

Faxiangtiandi!

A flash of inspiration reveals the entire universe.

The wronged souls and vengeful ghosts in the Nine Netherworld have all released their obsessions, transcended themselves, and returned to the natural cycle.

Inside the underworld, the ten Yama Kings were utterly terrified. They hurriedly came out and greeted him with clasped hands. The five ghost judges, their faces pale, immediately prostrated themselves in welcome.

In particular, the ten Yama Kings had witnessed the scene of the six ancient saints becoming saints, and the world celebrated together, but they did not have such supernatural power to free all the evil ghosts in the underworld city!

When Sun Wukong's primordial spirit left his body and entered the underworld, it was accompanied by an invisible light that illuminated the netherworld, calming the wronged souls and evil spirits somewhat, but it did not have such power!

Just how sacred is this?

As the river receded, the ten Yama Kings saw the newcomer's face and were all shocked.

That's because that person looks just like the Monkey King!

Could it be that chosen one?!

King Yama, fearing that this person would cause trouble in the underworld again, immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Great Sage! I have failed to greet you properly! I have failed to greet you properly! Please forgive me! Please forgive me!"

As the saying goes, one cannot hit a smiling face, but Jiang Liu politely replied, "I have come to the underworld to take care of two things."

Firstly, I retraced my journey to the West, passing through the Kingdom of Wuji. I learned that the prince of Wuji had been murdered, so I came to retrieve his soul and restore him to life.

How could Yama, the King of Hell, dare disobey? He hurriedly ordered the ghost judges to bring the soul of the prince of Wuji Kingdom—

Although he had been instructed by Laozi's attendant before, this "master" in front of him was truly ruthless. He had previously wiped out the Twenty-Eight Constellations and killed the Four Heavenly Kings. If he did not obey this time, he would probably return to the world.

"And the second thing—"

Jiang Liu chanted a spell, summoning the Earth Goddess Houtu, who was in charge of the cycle of reincarnation. He said leisurely, "From this day forward, the six realms of reincarnation will be under her jurisdiction."

In an instant, the ten generations of Yama Kings felt their scalps tingle, and the five judges of the underworld twitched their eyelids.

Although this sacred aura is ethereal and no less than that of a saint who lives as long as the heavens, how can the true core authority of the underworld be allowed to be touched by outsiders?

Even the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha in Buddhism only works on the souls of sentient beings!

This monkey actually wants to seize power in the underworld!

How outrageous!

Chapter 1467 Let posterity judge merits and demerits.

"May I ask who this gentleman is?"

Despite his intense hatred for Jiang Liu, he dared not make a move and could only inquire about the identity of the elegant and dignified woman before him.

"By following the example of Heaven and emulating the virtues of the Earth God, the Empress of the Land shines brightly."

Without hesitation, Jiang Liu, seeing their astonishment, added, "If you think her name is too long, just call her 'Houtu Niangniang'."

Upon hearing this, the Tenth King of Hell remained silent at first, then became embarrassed and angry, and couldn't help but say, "Great Sage! Do you think my Underworld is easy to bully?"

We are not just ghosts and monsters, but the ancient witch clan!

Back when we dominated the primordial world, you hadn't even conceived yet! How dare you bully us like this?

Unable to bear it any longer, the Tenth Yama King summoned the turbid energy of the underworld, condensed the evil energy, and formed a giant about a thousand feet tall. He punched down, shaking the eighteen levels of hell, and pressed down on the river.

Jiang Liu chuckled, and Houtu Huangdi Zhi, who was in front of his primordial spirit, pointed a finger, and Yin and Yang reversed, instantly breaking through the thousand-foot giant's form and returning to the original form of the Ten Generations of Yama.

Then, the black and white ladies jumped out from behind the Earth Goddess Houtu, one on the left and one on the right, naturally merging with the aura of this Netherworld. Black and white chains burst forth from their palms, binding all ten generations of Yama Kings and the five ghost judges, preventing them from using their magic power or spells.

Having been captured so easily, the tenth Yama King was terrified and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Great Sage, spare our lives! Great Sage, spare our lives! We were just confused for a moment!"

Jiang Liu did not reply, but looked at the old woman walking from the Bridge of Helplessness and said leisurely, "The shaman who once stood tall and upright is now barely surviving in the underworld. How pitiful, how pitiful."

The old woman's eyes flickered slightly as she looked at Jiang Liu. She then bent her knees and knelt down, saying, "Houtu greets Father God!"

The Tenth Generation Yama stared wide-eyed.

The only person who could be called "Father God" by the ancestral witches was Pangu, who created the world!

Sun Wukong...

Was he transformed from the father god Pangu?!

Looking at Jiang Liu again, his primordial spirit transformed into its original form, which was exactly the same as the true appearance of Pangu in the memories passed down by the Ancestral Witches.

"You can recognize me? That makes sense. By transforming myself into the cycle of reincarnation, crushing the souls of all living beings, obtaining the information within, and increasing my wisdom, I should be able to deduce some of the truth of the primordial world."

Jiang Liu's gaze was gentle, yet devoid of sorrow or joy. "What is the meaning of the word 'witch'?"

The two of them encircled the pillar, supporting the heavens and the earth.

You lot are quite something, lacking any ambition to stand tall and upright.

Arrogance on the surface, cowardice in the bones.

Because they are superior to ordinary people, they look down on ordinary people!

And because they lost to the demon, they are going to destroy heaven and earth!

They even bumped into the spirit yang staff that I left behind to support the heavens and the earth!

Does he even deserve to be called a 'witch'?

Houtu dared not look directly at them, but kowtowed and said, "I hope that Father God will help the Wu tribe restore its ancient glory!"

"can."

Upon hearing this, Houtu was overjoyed. But when she looked up, she saw that Jiang Liu's expression was indifferent, showing no concern for his children. She heard him add, "Give up this body and go to the cycle of reincarnation."

In an instant, Houtu trembled, in disbelief, tears streaming down her face, and cried out, "Father God, are you unwilling to help your child?"

"Ah!"

Jiang Liu said with a hint of sarcasm, "If that's how you see it, then all living beings in the Three Realms can be considered my offspring."

If someone asks me for help, am I obligated to help them?

"I didn't create this world just to stage a boring power struggle among the princes."

Having said that, Jiang Liu gave Houtu Huangdiqi a look. Houtu Huangdiqi was of one mind with Jiang Liu and understood his intention. She then led the black-and-white woman toward the place of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Although Houtu was a witch, she was able to evolve because of some information about Houtu Huangdiqi within Jiang Liu's primordial spirit. Therefore, the Six Paths of Reincarnation that she evolved could naturally be controlled and further perfected by Houtu Huangdiqi.

after all--

This is part of the Sky-Mending Project.

As for Houtu...

"I have already revealed the meaning of 'witchcraft.' Whether you want to continue being a homebody addicted to the internet in the underworld or go out to walk among humans, the choice is yours."

Before Houtu could respond, Jiang Liu's primordial spirit instantly left the Netherworld, returning to the body of the Heavenly Mandate Man with the soul of the Crown Prince of Wuji Kingdom.

"Senior Brother, you're back!"

Ba Jing asked with delight, "Have the people of the Underworld made things difficult for you?"

"Difficult? No, they're very enthusiastic, wanting me to be the ruler of the underworld." Jiang Liu laughed heartily.

Ba Jing didn't believe it, assuming that his senior brother must have disrupted the business of the underworld before retrieving the soul of the Crown Prince of Wuji Kingdom.

Jiang Liu didn't explain further. He summoned the soul of the Crown Prince of Wuji Kingdom and asked Ba Jing, "Have you found the Youth-Preserving Pearl in the Well Dragon Palace?"

"You can't hide it from your senior brother."

Ba Jing took out the Youth-Preserving Pearl.

It was a bead the size of a fingernail, no different from a pearl, emitting a misty aura.

"It's not difficult to revive this prince; we just need to guide his soul back to his body. However, he has been dead for a long time, and if no one guides his breath back to his body, it will take at least seven or eight years to recover."

With Jiang Liu's abilities, it wouldn't be difficult to create a body for this prince. However, this prince is not a cultivator like Mai Duo, and he cannot protect him at all times. If he obtains such power without cultivation, he will surely become disordered in the future.

"This Youth-Preserving Pearl was born from the essence of the sun and moon absorbed by a thousand-year-old giant clam. It has the effect of preserving youth. If you can swallow it and refine it, it will enter your lungs and internal organs and blend into your blood. You will be able to recover to your original appearance in an instant."

Jiang Liu took the Youth-Preserving Pearl and put it into the prince's mouth to help him swallow it. Then, he guided the prince's soul into the Baihui acupoint, blew a breath, and stimulated his nine orifices and eight meridians, causing him to slowly wake up.

The prince opened his eyes, let out a sob, and upon seeing Jiang Liu, immediately rose and bowed repeatedly, saying, "Thank you so much, Master, for saving my life!"

No need to thank me.

Jiang Liu laughed and said, "If a chivalrous person in the martial arts world has a sense of righteousness, he should speak out against injustice when he sees it; if a cultivator wants to seek the true path to enlightenment, he should not be afraid of the karmic consequences of the mortal world."

There are still two evil cultivators who have not been eliminated; we must not slacken our efforts.

"Absolutely!"

Unlike the Emperor of Wuji Kingdom who had faced death five hundred years ago and lost all his spirit, the Crown Prince of Wuji Kingdom five hundred years later had walked through the eighteen levels of hell, but his mind had become more resilient and his fighting spirit was high. He was determined to eliminate the two evil Taoists and bring peace to Wuji Kingdom for a long time.

"I hope the Dharma Master can help me!"

However, he knew that he was weak and no match for the two evil Taoists, so he knelt down again and begged.

“It is easy to eliminate evil spirits, but the emperor is the supreme ruler, and I cannot control him. You need to learn from Li Er’s ambition.”

Li Er's Ambition—

The Crown Prince had seen it in historical records.

It was the Xuanwu Gate Incident during the Tang Dynasty!

"I am willing to bear the infamy!" The crown prince felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on his heart, but for the sake of the people of the country, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree.

"You're quite the filial son."

Seeing his reaction, Jiang Liu knew it wasn't an act—even though he had been thrown into the well by his own father and died once, he still couldn't bear it.

Isn't he just a filial son?

Therefore, this is praised.
