The Immortal Seeker: Legend of Bronze Mirror-Chapter 855 - 396: Abundant Harvest, Netherworld Shaken

Of course, this is not something occurring in real-time space.

It's akin to rewriting the Heavenly Secret, creating a new Heavenly Dao Archive.

Regardless of whether this is true, the inclusion of the Black Bear Demon King's registration in the Taoist sect is confirmed.

One must admit, although the Taiyi Dao Seed was shattered, Xu Qing's comprehension of the Innate Taiyi Dao advanced further, yet without the Taiyi Dao Seed, it becomes much more arduous for Xu Qing to merge with the Innate Taiyi Dao.

However, as a result, after Xu Qing recondenses the Taiyi Dao Seed, there would be no hidden dangers present.

On another side, as the Yin Yang Fish swims, all the Karmic Fire on the Black Bear Spirit transforms into the Kan and Li Trigram, leaving a Mystic Iron Heavy Mace inscribed with the Tao Te Ching in his palm.

"Five Elements in Place, Five Directions Guard." Xu Qing seals with both hands, causing Five-Colored Divine Light to surge skyward.

In the Eastern position of Wood is the Ju Mang Dharma Form, transformed by the black Divine Dog consuming remnants of the Jianmu tree; in the Southern position of Fire sits the Golden Light Immortal in form of a Gold-Haired Roar; In the Western position of Gold stands the Yinglong Golden Body after the transformation of a Sinful Dragon; In the Northern position of Water floats the Gonggong Primordial Spirit refined from the Yellow Springs; In the Central position of Earth is the Thick Virtue Dharma Body forged by the Black Bear Spirit fusing with Rest Earth.

The Netherworld Mansion rises amidst the Five Elements Formation, engraved with ancient hexagrams from the Lianshan and Guicang.

…

…

At the moment of the Netherworld Mansion's completion, in the depths of the Underworld, the Mirror of Evil suddenly reflects Five-Colored Radiance.

King Qinguang, who is judging a case, suddenly pauses with the Judge's Pen held by the Heavenly Dao Incarnation, causing drops of cinnabar to spread bloodstains on the Book of Life and Death…

"Report——!" The Oxhead Yin Messenger crashes into the Palace of Darkness, the Soul-hooking Lamp hanging from his horns shattered in three parts, "In the direction of Yin Mountain, the Innate Eight Diagrams are rising, and the Sea of Suffering Restriction left by Guanyin Bodhisattva has utterly collapsed!"

The ten copper cauldrons in the Yama Hall simultaneously roar. King Zhuanlun's Reincarnation Disc on his palm suddenly reverses, originally meant for the Beast Path, the evil souls are surprisingly guided by the Five-Colored Divine Light into new Spirit Plants. On King Songdi office desk, the Yin Law moves without any wind, with specks of golden light seeping from its pages; those Heaven and Earth Laws altered by Xu Qing are forcibly infiltrating the Underworld's order.

"Hurry and call Lord Cui!" King Yanluo spoke faintly.

Now, all Ten Halls Yama are incarnations of the Heavenly Dao, devoid of emotion and self.

Matters of human affairs are all handled by their subordinate judges.

At Naihe Bridge, the Soul Hooking Pen in Cui Jue's hand suddenly flies out. The tip is not dipped in cinnabar but in the Five-Colored Spiritual Spring surging upstream from the Forget River. This Iron-faced Judge gazes toward the Yin Mountain as he mutters: "Innate Five Elements redefine reincarnation, is this to recreate a Senluo System…"

Across various City God Temples, simultaneous tremors occur. In the Fengdu City God statue's jade tablet appears trigram symbols; Incense Fire Wishing Power uncontrollably flows towards Yin Mountain; The grievances of Wangsi City are absorbed by the roots of new Spirit Plants, unexpectedly blooming Rebirth Flowers outside the city walls.

The most alarmed are the Ghost Kings guarding the Eighteen Layers of Hell, discovering Sword Mountain and Fire Sea transforming into Trial Grounds for soul refinement.

The judges under the Ten Halls Yama urgently meet in the Palace of Darkness.

Now that King of Hell is just an incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, they as judges are effectively the real powers.

Therefore, the major changes in the Underworld and their own interests are closely intertwined, there is no room for negligence.

As for bothering Xu Qing, that is absolutely out of the question.

The movements of the Five Ming Kings and the Righteous Method Ming Tathagata are not insignificant; they soon receive battle footage of the conflict and, upon a quick review, feel terror beyond measure.

Such godly figures, they can never provoke.

After all, the Underworld is a toilet for mighty beings from various heavens, used as they please. In essence, reincarnation is the foundation of all life's perpetual cycle in heaven and earth.

Anyone who wishes to prove the ultimate Great Dao must involve the Underworld. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

This also results in the Underworld having numerous leaders.

Not to mention direct leaders such as Taiyi Saving Suffering Almighty and Lord of Mount Tai, there are Fengdu Great Emperor and Womb of the Earth Bodhisattva; one being a parachuted leader inserted by the Heavenly Court, the other now being an honorary spokesperson of Spirit Mountain, directly titled as "World Honored One" for this era.

The exact background of Xu Qing today is unknown.

But after some discussion, they decide to follow the old precedent.

Xu Qing occupies Yin Mountain, establishes the Netherworld Mansion, the judges simply acknowledge and decide each to represent the King of Hell in presenting gifts.

Such occurrences are exceedingly common.

When the ancestor of the River Styx or Womb of the Earth Bodhisattva arrived in the Underworld, didn't they also offer congratulations?

Accustomed to manipulation, they become unsurprised.

The judges' only hope now is that this new leader is just here to get some experience in the Underworld, to put it nicely, to solidify the foundation of the Great Dao.

Let's hope he doesn't truly intend to accomplish actual feats.

In present-day Underworld, accumulated messy affairs from several eras, if they are to be resolved, it would resemble cleaning a cesspool.

When leaders demand results, these judges are the professionals for this task.

Do not even think about taking charge yourself.

Look, since the disappearance of King of Hell's True Spirit, the days in the Underworld, that's called one of flourishing progress!

After the discussions are concluded.

Representatives for presenting gifts on behalf of the Ten Halls Yama soon line up in long queues along the Yellow Springs Path.

King Qinguang sends a box of Netherworld Mysterious Iron tempered for a thousand years, with each iron billet inscribed with the Luofeng Six Celestial Palace Secret Talisman; King Zhuanlun's gift is most peculiar, surprisingly being the Life and Death Book Supplement—even though it only records life under Yin Mountain, it subtly implies sharing authority.

"What a grand gesture." The black Divine Dog sits on the Sinful Dragon's head, watching the Oxhead and Horseface bring in the Nine Nether Cold Jade Stele.

The stele's inscriptions are written with Forget River Water, its contents being the "Yin Mountain Autonomous Petition" acknowledged by the Ten Halls Yama as a joint agreement.

Xu Qing stands atop the Observatory at the Netherworld Mansion on Yin Mountain, beneath him All Heaven Stars extend from the River Map and Luo Book. He fiddles with the Mysterious Iron sent by King Qinguang, each billet being recast into hexagram lines amidst the Five-Colored Divine Light. When the last "Kun" hexagram forms, the whole Yin Mountain Earth Vein rises three hundred zhang, unexpectedly forming alongside Fengdu City into a twin star and moon configuration.

…

…

Fengdu Ghost City City God Mansion.

The City God is a particularly unique Divine Spirit within the Underworld, patrolling the Mortal World while also managing some matters of reincarnation in the Underworld. Among Divine Spirits in the Underworld, one could say they are the most leisurely.

They can leverage their authority to patrol the Mortal World.

The Mortal World's life is far more comfortable than the Underworld's, even beauties are more vividly adorable when seen in the Mortal World.

Some City Gods even abuse their authority, taking on physical forms in the Mortal World as officials under the Human Emperor.

In another term, "adjudicating day in the Mortal World, judging night in the Underworld."

Indeed, there are those who do tangible work, but more often they take advantage of opportunities to package themselves and satisfy their desire to play.

Frankly, whether it's the laws of the Mortal World or the laws of the Underworld, they're all about restraining oxen and horses, as long as they follow rules, regardless of trial or no trial.

The most feared matter in this world is oxen and horses disregarding rules.

Thus, whether in the Mortal World or the Underworld, when Government Office judges cases, there's no concern for guilt or innocence, only position matters, not the right or wrong.

The City God of Fengdu is an expert in this art.

He judges primarily to maintain rules of the Underworld and Mortal World, in return receiving offerings and sacrifices from Mortal World officials and elders, always receiving flourishing incense.

While in Fengdu Ghost City, he gradually became an unquestionable authority.

Fengdu City God, long respected.

He knows how to maintain camaraderie, flatter superiors.

Having just dispatched Yin Messenger to deliver gifts to neighboring Yin Mountain, he waits for their return, when a sudden unexpected visitor intrudes.

Fengdu City God is about to slam the table in query when suddenly there is a rolling Thunder Sound from Nine Heavens outside the hall. Inside, ten thousand Netherworld Lamps bow low, green-purple ghost fire coagulates into a worship stance.

Behold, the person steps into the hall, pressure materialized into essence beneath his feet, his white brocade robe adorned with silver patterns flowing like suspended star river, twelve tassels hanging from the jade crown swaying heaven and earth. A faint golden mark between his brows, as dignified as the Heavenly Dao.

With just this attire, the Three Realms and Six Paths, only one holds it.

"Ding..."

The "Fengdu City God Seal" hanging from the City God's waist suddenly falls, the ten thousand Yin Souls entwined on the Jade Seal scream retreating into the seal's strap. He hurriedly rises, his black diadem crashing against the desk bursting seven Eastern pearls, disregarding the Netherworld Seal Treasure rolling on the floor, he rushes down nine levels of Black Jade Steps, comes forward to salute: "True… True Monarch, holy peace."
