Chapter 271 Changes in the Underworld
Seeing such a powerful formation outside the first heaven, the two of them suddenly felt a little hope for the future.

Afterwards, they entered Taihuang Huangzengtian, which is the widest part of the heavens, one tenth the size of the prehistoric world. When it was the demon clan's heaven, it was the place where countless races cultivated and lived.

However, although Taihuang Huangzengtian is vast, the spiritual energy within it is very thin. At most, it can support cultivators to achieve enlightenment and become immortals. After becoming immortals, if they want to go one step further, they have to ascend to the upper heaven, and finally climb up step by step to the Hunyuan realm.

There are thirty-six heavens, and each day is different. If all of them are added together, they are probably half the size of the prehistoric world. There are all kinds of natural treasures, and the rhythm of the great Dao contained in it, which are countless. As long as you set foot in it, there is no need to seek from the outside world, as everything you need is inside.

It is no wonder that when the prehistoric land was occupied by the witch clan, the demon clan was still not weaker than the witch clan, and even had the potential to surpass them. It can be seen that the thirty-six heavens played an indispensable role.

Yao Chi was also a Hunyuan Jinxian. He calculated the trajectory of all this with a simple calculation. He sighed and said, "With this blessed land in hand, what can't be accomplished in the world?"

Haotian also had the same realization, and the two of them then quickly climbed upwards, wanting to see what the highest Six Emperor Heavens looked like.

Along the way, they saw the Taihuang Palace, Taiming Palace, Qingming Palace, Xuantai Palace and other core Taoist palaces in the various heavens.

If one could occupy these Taoist palaces, then one would be able to control everything in this heavenly realm. In the demon race, only the patriarchs of the major races, or demon gods and demon saints, could occupy the Taoist palaces, and today they were displayed so blatantly.

These palaces are magnificent and splendid, with an air of immortals floating in the air. The aura of the great road spreads for thousands of miles, and the profound truth spreads for thousands of feet. Countless strange visions condense out of thin air, and countless starlight rotates, waterfalls flow, and thousands of points of brilliance appear and rise and fall. It seems that the boundless starry sky is integrated into it, praising the sacredness and grandeur of the thirty-six heavens.

It was not until they set foot into the Six Emperor Heavens that they knew what the world’s number one paradise was.

On the Longevity Star Platform, there are famous flowers that never fade; beside the medicine furnace, there are evergreen embroidered grasses that are evergreen for tens of millions of years. Later, in front of the Pilgrimage Building, there are crimson gauze clothes and shining stars; hibiscus crowns, brilliant gold and jade hairpins, pearl shoes, purple ribbons and gold medals. Everything seems so luxurious, but extremely empty.

A golden bell is hung next to the Lingxiao Palace, and there is a bell and a cushion on the lower side, as if someone often practices on it. There is also a heavenly drum next to the golden bell, and under the heavenly drum, there is also a cushion on the side, and two hammers are placed underneath.

The corridors are exquisitely decorated, with three eaves and four clusters of ornaments, and layers of dragons and phoenixes flying in the sky. On top is a huge golden gourd that is purple, bright, round and shining. Below is jade fans and fairy scarves placed everywhere. In the middle is a jade table with a glass plate, on which are placed many stacked Taiyi pills, as well as a few agate bottles and a few winding coral trees.

It is true that there are all kinds of exotic objects in the Heavenly Palace, which are nothing like them in the world; the Golden Palace, the Silver Palace and the Purple Mansion, the beautiful flowers, the jade grass and the precious stones; the Jade Rabbit of the King of Chaos flies past the altar, and the Golden Crow of the Holy Saint flies to the bottom.

But amidst the luxury, there is a deep sense of deathly silence.

Even though they knew that the leaders of the two tribes of liches were either dead or escaped, they could still feel the immortal soul here, and a sense of regret for the passage of time arose in their hearts.

Just when they were thinking about enlightening a few boys first, a golden and white starlight suddenly flew in from the sky. The starlight was filled with wisps of Gengjin energy, and it was obviously not a good thing.

Gold represents killing. If there is a person with gold element taking shape, he will be a person full of murderous aura.

Having achieved the state of Hun Yuan, why would they care about this little bit of murderous aura? On the contrary, they were overjoyed when they saw this golden and white starlight, as if someone had brought them a pillow when they dozed off.

Haotian threw out the Haotian Pagoda, which spun in the sky and immediately absorbed the golden and white starlight.

Haotian Tower is good at nurturing all things. When Daozu Hongjun gave it to Haotian, he said that it could be used to bring the thirty-six heavens back to life.

After the pagoda absorbed the starlight, it was surrounded by a layer of warm jade-like radiance. After a moment of slowing down, an old man flew out from the top of the pagoda. As soon as he appeared, he bowed to the two of them and said, "Taibai Jinxing greets His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven and Queen Mother of the West. I thank the two leaders for their guidance. I will do my best to work for the Heavenly Court in the future."

Haotian and Yaochi laughed loudly, thinking that this was a very auspicious sign, so they asked Taibai Jinxing to step down first, and the two of them entered the Lingxiao Palace.

The interior of the Lingxiao Palace is spacious, but it seems a bit rustic compared to the outside world. However, there are many locations here, and if all of them are filled, it can be considered a prosperous scene.

Now that there is a shortage of positions, it is naturally a bit shabby.

The two of them cast a spell and immediately established two divine thrones at the highest place. One on the left and one on the right, they released their aura without restraint and immediately began to continuously refine the thirty-six Taoist palaces, trying to take control of everything in the thirty-six heavens.

Taibai Jinxing, who was waiting outside the Lingxiao Palace, turned pale. Unable to withstand this majestic momentum, he immediately retreated, not daring to stay outside the palace for long.

But no matter how they refined it, they could only control six levels of the heaven each in the end. The remaining twenty-four levels of the heaven were fixed by four mysterious forces. They didn't know the other three forces yet, but there was one force that they were very familiar with.

This force was surrounded by countless starlights, and there was a crimson-purple star hanging high in the sky, commanding all the stars and ruling the starry sky. It did not allow them to refine the six heavens that were shrouded in it. This was obviously a predestined fate.

This is exactly the heaven of the Great Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole in Zhongtian.

Upon realizing this fact, Haotian's face darkened and he said bitterly, "If it weren't for Yuanshi Tianzun meddling in other people's business, the thirty-six heavens would have been completely split by us. How could there be the inexplicable addition of the Six Imperials, leaving us with only one person in charge of the six heavens? It was also thanks to Chengtian's imitation of Hou Tu Huang Dizhi that he was trapped in the land of no way and could not refine the heavens, otherwise there would be even fewer."

Yao Chi was also unhappy in her heart, but she still comforted him: "It's okay. Among the six emperors, only Ziwei Emperor has appeared, but the other three have not yet appeared. We will have to deal with them in the future. The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are about to be born. Who knows, we may be able to make a plan from them."

Haotian's eyes lit up after hearing this, yes, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are about to begin, this is a grand event to determine the Emperor of Man, there is definitely no shortage of opportunities involved, I'm afraid that all the gods and Buddhas in the sky will turn their eyes to the human race to see who is the leader of the eternal protagonist race of the prehistoric world.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, they can also promote more immortals and gods to serve as officials in the heavenly court. Otherwise, it would be a shame to see the heavenly court so empty.

Just as the two were about to discuss further, bursts of starlight came from the sky, and a majestic aura spread out. The one who came was Zhongtian Beiji Ziwei Emperor.

As the ruler of the Heavenly Court, Emperor Ziwei naturally saw at a glance that Haotian and Yaochi were in the Lingxiao Palace, but he did not want to have too much entanglement with the two, so he went to the North Pole of the Six Emperors Heaven on his own, built a palace, stepped into it, and then closed the door and refused to come out, which made his attitude clear.

After seeing this, Haotian snorted coldly and said, "How rude! He built the palace without even telling us. No wonder he died. If I were the leader of Hengming Sect, I would beat him to pieces and make him die forever. How could I let him come back again?"

Although the position of the Emperor of the North Pole Ziwei in Zhongtian was destined, as long as the system of the six emperors existed, Haotian would have a rage in his heart, and naturally he would pour it out on the other five emperors. Even though he knew that the Heavenly Palace could not really belong to him alone, he could not tolerate others occupying it.

Yao Chi frowned slightly and advised: "This Ziwei Emperor is also one of the Six Imperial Lords. He has no conflict of interest with us. Why should we bother with him? Forget it."

Haotian was upset and said unhappily, "I originally thought that the leader of Hengming Sect was on our side, but I didn't expect that Yuanshi Tianzun had just proposed the Six Imperial Lords, and he recommended Ziwei Emperor as one of them. Isn't this deliberately making things difficult for us?"

Unexpectedly, just as Haotian finished speaking, bursts of muffled thunder suddenly came from the sky. The thunder came strangely and the momentum was even greater, but then it disappeared without a trace, as if everything was just an illusion.

But Haotian and Yaochi's faces changed suddenly. Thunder sounded in the void, and even they didn't notice when the thunder came. It was obvious that the saint was angry.

Yao Chi said anxiously, "Haotian! Don't you know that disaster comes from the mouth? Even if the treasures on us can block the secrets of heaven, it's okay if you say it to Yuanshi Tianzun, but this Hengming Sect Master is cultivating the fate path, and his perception is the most acute. If you say something bad about him, he will know it immediately. You will definitely encounter disaster in the future, and you can only hope that Hengming Sect Master will let you return from the disaster for the sake of our past friendship."

Haotian's mood fluctuated greatly during this day. He originally thought that he could achieve great things, but he did not expect to be hated by the saint in an instant. He was really helpless.

Netherworld, underworld.

Ever since Chi You led the witch tribe into the underworld, they have been living in peace with the forces that were originally in the underworld. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Although the Six Paths of Reincarnation were transformed by Hou Tu Niangniang, the one who is in charge of the underworld now is Niang Ping Xin. Bixia Yuanjun will not tolerate these witches to act so presumptuously.

And Bixia Yuanjun, out of past friendship, turned a blind eye to these witches and pretended to be ignorant.

But after Fuyou led the remaining Shebi corpse tribe into the underworld, Bixia Yuanjun had to divert some attention and pay attention to these witch tribes.

After all, there are two great Hunyuan masters nearby, so even if she has extraordinary cultivation, she still has to be careful.

The underworld is located underground, where the earth's turbid air is thick, making it most suitable for the witches to survive. The underworld blocks some of the earth's turbid air and instead draws in some of the fresh air from the stars, creating a gentle environment that is suitable for the witches to survive.

Therefore, Fuyou practiced outside the underworld all year round, while Chiyou stayed in the underworld. Everything was peaceful for a while, but today, Fuyou suddenly entered Chiyou's cave in anger.

"Chiyou, the ancestor of witches, I didn't ask you to come forward in the past because I knew that the witch clan had retreated and lost its former status as the overlord, so it was natural for it to be humble and behave itself. But today, I really can't stand it!"

As soon as Fuyou entered Chiyou's cave, he shouted loudly, his face full of uncontrollable anger. It was obvious that something had happened that irritated him.

After hearing Fuyou's words, Chi You opened his eyes, frowned slightly and asked: "What happened again?"

Fuyou was still furious, and said in a vicious voice: "Those bull-headed and horse-faced people are really too much! They actually dared to take away the souls of people from my Shebisi tribe! I tried to ask them to release those souls in a nice way, but they said: "Good and evil will have their own retribution, and life span is determined by heaven. These people's lives have come to an end, and they will naturally reincarnate.' Isn't this deliberately making things difficult for me!"

After hearing this, Chi You felt a little angry.

What bullshit lifespan! The witch clan is blessed by heaven and earth and has an endless lifespan. What's more, the weakest witch now has the cultivation level of a celestial immortal. Even for those ordinary cultivators, the cultivation level of a celestial immortal is enough to allow them to have a lifespan of nearly tens of millions of years.

It has only been a few years since the Lich Tribulation? How dare they say that their people have reached the end of their life span? No wonder Fuyou is so angry.

Chi You's mind turned, but he remembered Fuyou's temper and asked quickly, "You shouldn't have killed those Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons, Black and White Impermanence, right?"

Fuyou snorted and said, "I still had some sense left at that time. I didn't argue with them too much, but came directly to you."

Chi You then felt relieved, thinking that as long as no one died, everything would be explained.

"Come with me to find Lady Pingxin and Master Shura and see what explanation they have."

Fuyou had wanted to find these two people for a long time, and they hit it off immediately. The two of them immediately went to Youdu to look for Bixia Yuanjun and Minghe Laozu.

Youdu, also known as Fengdu, is the core area of ​​the underworld. The six realms of reincarnation are located in Youdu. The Ten Hades, the Black and White Judges, and the Five Great Emperors are all here.

As the lord of Youdu, Lady Pingxin and Bixia Yuanjun naturally practiced here all year round, in order to comprehend the true meaning of the endless earth within the six realms of reincarnation.

At this moment, Bixia Yuanjun opened her eyes from seclusion, a smile flashed across her beautiful eyes, and she gently clapped the jade chime in front of her. A clear jade sound was heard, and a moment later, a blood-red lotus blossomed.

Although its body is blood-colored, the lotus does not appear to be weird. Instead, it has a fragrance of flesh and blood, and is the embodiment of the true meaning of the great way of blood.

The blood-red lotus blossomed for a moment before withering away. Bixia Yuanjun knew the response of the Styx Patriarch, and said to herself, "It's worth my effort to lead you here, Bull-Headed King, Horse-Faced King, come and see me."

Bixia Yuanjun shouted the last sentence, and then two red lights flashed and two figures appeared.

A burly figure, thirty feet tall, half naked with muscular upper body, protruding tendons and bones, a horsehide skirt draped around his waist, with red tassels hanging down, and thick-soled high boots. But his head was a huge bull's head with two sharp horns pointing high up as if to pierce the sky. It was the Bull-Head King.

The other one was short, only three inches tall, dressed in silk, satin, jewels, skinny, with a chain made of ox horns hanging around his neck. His head was a huge horse head, and his face was snow-white, but his eyelids were big and he seemed drowsy. It was the Horse-Faced King.

When the underworld was first established, Bixia Yuanjun was troubled about how to run it. In the end, Hengming gave her an idea, which was to set up ten kings of hell to manage and punish evildoers.
The Black and White Judges were set up to judge good and evil. The Black and White Judges were responsible for judging the powerful, and they had countless judges under them to judge ordinary people.
Finally, the Ox-Head King and the Horse-Faced King were established. These two kings managed the Black and White Impermanence and the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced King. The Black and White Impermanence and the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced King were the messengers from the underworld who were specifically sent to collect souls.

Bixia Yuanjun was overjoyed after hearing this, and immediately selected countless Black and White Impermanence, Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Impermanence, and Judges of the Underworld from the vast sea of ​​humanitarian monks; as for the Ten Kings of Hell, the Black and White Judges, the Ox-Head King, the Horse-Faced King, etc., they were appointed by the two saints.
