Refining the Dao into Godhood: A Tale of the Jie Sect-Chapter 76 [Underworld Yin God, Taiyi Saves from Suffering] (Please Subscribe)

Chapter 76: Chapter 76 [Underworld Yin God, Taiyi Saves from Suffering] (Please Subscribe)

Reincarnation, though initiated, left the Underworld system still unformed; many tasks had to be personally handled by Houtu, which undoubtedly exhausted her vitality and spirit.

Following that, Xuanqing conveyed the establishment of the Underworld and the intentions of The Three Pure Ones to Houtu.

Serving as a Yin God in the Underworld might not merit much, but its age-old foundation greatly moved many disciples of Jie Sect after hearing of it upon Xuanqing’s return to Golden Turtle Island with Tongtian Sect Master.

While the assembly of Jie Sect’s thousands of Immortals appeared extraordinarily fateful, only a core group of a dozen or so actually possessed the qualifications or confidence to break through to the Daluo level.

For the remaining disciples, not to mention reaching Daluo, even advancing to Taiyi required a considerable amount of opportunity.

Therefore, they naturally would not miss any chance to gain merit and fortune.

Upon hearing this, Houtu immediately laughed and said, "Then let’s follow what Daoist proposes! However, being the progenitor of Ghost Immortals, have you really not considered taking the position of the Northern Ghost Emperor?"

Xuanqing smiled and responded, "I am indeed very tempted by the position! However, if one’s virtue does not match the position, disaster will follow. I am very clear about my own abilities! The power associated with the Northern Ghost Emperor, second only to Lady herself, would be hard to command without the strength of a Quasi-Saint!"

"Even an ordinary Quasi-Saint might not be fit for this position!"

"Therefore, I requested my master to descend an avatar to take up the role."

The vastness of the World of Darkness is immeasurable, roughly comparable in size to the Nine Layers Heaven, and not much smaller than the Primordial cosmos. Whether to hold dominion over this expansive territory or to dodge the grand conflict of Witch Demons, it would attract many powerful beings... Without sufficient strength, it is impossible to suppress those various demons and spirits!

Although Houtu owed him a favor, as a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, she wouldn’t bother him for small matters.

Xuanqing didn’t have such clout yet.

But his own master, with whom he had a unique relationship, was enough to suppress everything.

Upon hearing this, Houtu nodded thoughtfully, "That makes sense. In that case, how about you take the position of Tai Mountain Lord, managing the portals between Yin and Yang realms? This position is practically no less in authority than the Northern Ghost Emperor, and who enters the World of Darkness would also be up to you to decide!"

"Moreover, having assimilated the earthly fortune of Mount Tai and being the progenitor of the Ghost Path, to preside over the portals of Yin Yang realms could not be more suitable!"

Though the role of Tai Mountain Lord seemed like merely a gatekeeper, he would control the passage into and out of the World of Darkness, observing all souls crossing between Yin Yang realms, naturally bestowing him an extraordinary status, without the heavy burdens of the Northern Ghost Emperor.

Furthermore, should the authority of the Underworld expand in the future, establishing city gods and night-traveling spirits among other Underworld deities in the human world, the authority of Tai Mountain Lord would further increase until... he stood on equal footing with the Northern Ghost Emperor!

"Thank you for the imperial grant, Lady!"

Xuanqing quickly bowed to Houtu.

Soon after, the avatar of Emperor Shangqing, brought by Tongtian Sect Master along with Daoist Duobao, Jin Ling Saint Mother, Wuyun Immortal, and other core disciples, arrived in the World of Darkness.

"Then we will trouble Daoist!"

After some pleasant exchanges, Houtu handed over the "Book of Life and Death" and the "Judge’s Pen" to Emperor Shangqing, clearly entrusting him with the dominion over the World of Darkness.

Of course, Houtu didn’t completely relinquish control; on Xuanqing’s suggestion, she split off an avatar near the Six Paths of Reincarnation to boil Meng Po Soup in the "Washing Spirit Cauldron," erasing memories from the spirits.

Simultaneously, she appointed Jiufeng as the Central Ghost Emperor and Kua Fu as the Northern Ghost Emperor, instructing them to settle some of the Witch Clan’s people within the World of Darkness.

Before long, Taiyi True Master from the Chan Sect also arrived in the World of Darkness.

"Disciple pays respect to Great-Uncle Master!"

Within Chan Sect, figures like Nanji, Guang Chengzi, and Chi Jingzi had broken through to Daluo, but none had managed to cultivate a Ninth Grade Dao Flower, causing Yuan Shi Tianzun great disappointment and placing his hopes on Taiyi True Master, hoping he could accumulate profound fortune from his involvement with the Underworld.

Hence, at this moment, Taiyi True Master was still at the stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

"Good!"

Emperor Shangqing took a careful look at Taiyi True Master: "It seems that in the Taiyi Realm, you have embarked on a path unlike that of ordinary cultivators!"

In the Xuan Sect three teachings, everyone follows the Heavenly Immortal System, evolving the Daluo Dao Fruit based on the Heavenly Immortal characteristics, but Taiyi True Master aims to lead uniquely within the Taiyi Realm.

In Taiyi, it transitions from one to ten thousand, while in Daluo, it is from ten thousand to one. These two realms corroborate and complement each other, but not everyone adheres to the predecessors’ systems.

And Taiyi True Master is one of them.

He intends to break through the limits of the Taiyi Realm, using the Taiyi Dao Fruit to evolve the concept of Primordial Infinite Chaos, aiming to become a revered and supreme figure in a realm just like Zhen Yuanzi.

In the Jie Sect, there is a similar figure, Yu Yuan, who was recently taken as a direct disciple by Jin Ling Saint Mother, cultivating alone in the Golden Immortal Realm and often humorously called by his peers as "Single Qi Immortal"!

Such individuals, achieving the pinnacle in a certain realm, where Golden Immortals can rival Taiyi, and Taiyi can compare with Daluo, all have the prospect of independently creating a branch of the Immortal Dao!

Just like Zhen Yuanzi, who is fundamentally an Earth Immortal, yet his power far surpasses that of ordinary Daluo and ordinary Quasi-Saints!

Those who forge new paths should not be measured by ordinary standards; their realm does not represent their combat power.

"How interesting!"

Xuanqing also glanced at Taiyi True Master.

At the same time, he thought of the descriptions of Taiyi Jiekushengtianzun in future mythological legends.

In the eastern land of perpetual joy, there lives a great compassionate benefactor, Taiyi Jiekushengtianzun, whose avatars are as numerous as grains of constant sand, responding to calls and situations. Sometimes residing in the Heavenly Palace, descending to the Human World, dwelling in Hell, gathering multitudes, whether as Immortal Boys and Jade Maidens, as Emperors and Saints, as Heavenly Venerate True Masters, as Vajra God Kings, or as Devil Warriors, or as Daoist Celestial Masters, or as Lord Laozi, or as Celestial Medicine Officials, or as men and women, or as civil and military officials, or as grand archbishops, or as teaching Zen Masters, or as Masters of Wind and Rain, with boundless Divine Skills and endless merits, seeking out cries of suffering and responding to situations spontaneously.

In times of distress, as long as one chants the Holy Name of the Heavenly Venerate, the Heavenly Venerate will come to the rescue.

Chanting the Holy Name of the Heavenly Venerate can relieve worries, transform misfortune into fortune, complete merits, and ascend by daylight.

He is greatly compassionate and vowed, seeking out cries of suffering, rescuing from hardships, descending to the human world on the 3rd and 9th of every month, thus he is known as Taiyi Jiekushengtianzun!

The characteristics of Heavenly Immortals are boundless.

Undoubtedly, Taiyi True Master has reached the pinnacle on this path, integrating Taiyi characteristics to achieve avatars numbering in the billions, with incarnations spread across countless Constant Sand Worlds.

Xuanqing, who also deeply studies the Heavenly Immortal characteristics, follows an elite path and, up to now, has evolved only five other-self avatars.

The Fire Dao Avatar, Thunder Dao Avatar, Plague Dao Avatar, Ghost Dao Avatar, and the Spirit Dao Avatar, who oversees the spiritual luck of mountains and rivers, exploring the path of Spiritual Agriculture with the "Mountain River Tripod"!

And Taiyi True Master follows a path of quantity; with just one glance at the celebratory clouds above his head, Xuanqing judged that he had evolved at least a hundred thousand other-self avatars.

Emperor Shangqing nodded: "Since my nephew intends to break the limit of Taiyi and incarnate in billions, why not allocate ten avatars to take up the position of Yama?"

Taiyi’s current power still falls short of assuming the position of Ghost Emperor; thus, Emperor Shangqing planned to compensate in terms of numbers.

This, too, is to give face to Yuanshi Tianzun!

"Thank you, Master Uncle!"

Taiyi True Master quickly expressed his gratitude.

And Emperor Shangqing, with one hand pointing to the "Book of Life and Death", split out ten copies: "These copies of the Book of Life and Death, I entrust you to oversee!"

Subsequently, he consecrated Wuyun Immortal, Golden Hoop Immortal, Qiu Shouxian, Golden Light Immortal, Lingya Immortal, and Pi Lu Immortal as the six gods assisting Luo Feng Great Emperor of Luo Feng Six Heavens.

The Three Xiaos manage the Primordial Golden Bowl, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure containing the path of Doomsday; it represents both the end and the beginning of all things, whether Immortal Gods or Witch Demons, must undergo their birth tribulation especially cultivators who must traverse the Primordial Golden Bowl, erasing past cultivation, and returning the spiritual power to heaven and earth.

Therefore, she was consecrated by Emperor Shangqing as the Goddess of Yin Mountain, overseeing the birth tribulations of myriad creatures.

Having completed these, Emperor Shangqing looked somewhat troubled at Xuanqing: "With five positions for Ghost Emperors, and three still vacant, who do you think would be suitable to assume these roles?"
