Chapter 262: Great God of Rescue, Lord of the Underworld
Fifty years into Taihe, two years had passed since the fall of the seven demon saints.
Within two years, Jiang Changsheng's popularity skyrocketed. The human beings he saved spread the word about his strength and merits everywhere. Because they didn't know his name, they respectfully called him the Great God of Savior.
In the past two years, he did not let his clone go out to expand the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Mirror of Heaven and Earth, but instead concentrated on practicing martial arts and let his clone refine pills.
He was mainly worried that the demon tribe would launch a massive attack, so it would be safer with the two treasures in his hands.
Two years later, the clone finally refined the flesh and blood of the Demon Saint into a potion suitable for warriors to temper their bodies. The seven huge corpses were still in the Taoist world, frozen by the Great Ice Sealing Divine Art.
Jiang Changsheng called Mu Lingluo and Qing'er and asked them to practice body training together. At the same time, he also refined many demon saint body-tempering pills and distributed them to Long Qiguan and Jiang Che.
Jiang Che is cultivating the power of the Jiang family. Although the Jiang family holds the imperial power, their martial arts strength cannot be weak. Once the gap in martial arts strength between the royal family and the martial arts clan is too large, and the Taoist ancestor is suddenly gone, the imperial power can easily be overthrown.
Human ambition is hard to estimate. Jiang Che believes that as long as Daozu disappears for a period of time, those ambitious people will not be able to restrain themselves.
This day.
Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes, looked towards the south, and began to make various calculations in his mind.
The most powerful being in the Endless Ocean is still worth 1.3 billion, and that is Emperor Wu Ren.
This means that the demon clan has not investigated him for the time being. The death of the seven great demon saints is enough to shock all demons below the supreme demon clan.
The demon clan supreme did not take any action either, and it was unknown whether it was because his injuries had not healed or because he was afraid of him.
In any case, this is a good thing. He can practice with peace of mind and continue to improve his cultivation.
The demon race will certainly not be the only enemy in the future. The Holy Dynasty predicts that all races will rise up. The real era of great strife has not yet begun. He still has to work hard to become stronger.
Through the Infinite Eyes of Heaven and Earth, Jiang Changsheng did not see the scene of the demon army heading north. After all, he was full of treasures, and the demons had no idea who he was or where he came from.
After the death of the seven demon saints, the demon forces at sea collapsed, and countless demon beasts fled, fearing that they would be liquidated by the great god who saves the suffering. Because of this, the major dynasties were given a breathing space, and the name of the great god who saves the suffering spread more and more widely, even overshadowing Pangu and Xuanniao. As for the name of the Taoist Ancestor, it had not yet really spread in the Endless Ocean, and only people in the waters near the Dragon Vein Continent knew about it.
Jiang Changsheng withdrew his gaze and looked at the six medicine cauldrons in the courtyard. The medicine cauldrons containing Ji Wujun and the three daughters were all frozen, making it impossible to peek into the situation inside.
The clone was still refining the elixir nearby, while Jiang Changsheng used the Five Elements Escape Technique to drill into the ground.
Diving all the way down, he came to a vast and boundless underground world.
The surface of the earth is inlaid with many gems, bringing light to the underground world. The doomsday tree that supports the earth is so huge, even bigger than before it supported the earth.
It absorbs the energy of the sky and the earth, and its trunk is constantly growing stronger.
Jiang Changsheng came in front of it, but it was still sleeping soundly and hadn't noticed yet.
Staying underground is extremely boring, so it spends most of its time sleeping. Even while sleeping, it is steadily getting stronger.
Jiang Changsheng released the underworld and placed it in front of the World-Destroying Tree, and then awakened the World-Destroying Tree.
The human face of the World-Destroying Tree opened its eyes, saw that it was Jiang Changsheng, and quickly spoke respectfully.
Its gaze then fell on the underworld. After the underworld landed, it became extremely huge, like a mountain. Bursts of black air emerged from the underworld and spread to the ground.
What a weird thing!
The World-Destroying Tree thought to itself that when it saw the underworld, it felt inexplicably panicked.
"This is the underworld, where all the dead souls in the world gather. You are responsible for protecting it." Jiang Changsheng said.
Gathering the dead?
The World-Destroying Tree couldn't help but be curious.
Jiang Changsheng said: "The underworld will establish the order of reincarnation and will dominate life and death. If you can protect it, you may become one of the immortals who manage reincarnation in the future."
As soon as these words came out, the World-Destroying Tree was instantly ignited and said excitedly: "Don't worry, I will definitely protect it at the cost of my life!"
In its heart, Jiang Changsheng has always been the image of an immortal god, so it will not question Jiang Changsheng's words.
Can a demon become a god?
The World-Destroying Tree was very excited, and the look it gave towards the underworld changed and became fiery.
Jiang Changsheng walked into the underworld. From the outside, the underworld was just a building that looked like a palace or a building. In fact, it was a world of its own with many palaces and buildings scattered inside. There were many stone and bronze statues from the underworld standing there, which gave off a sinister vibe.
He could feel that the causal power of the underworld had been activated and was spreading to the entire land of Tianjing.
There are many dead souls in the world who have not been reincarnated for various reasons and remain in the world. They are called evil spirits. Xingshou and Yinku are evil spirits.
"We need to find a master of the underworld to maintain order in the underworld."
Jiang Changsheng thought silently, and the first person he thought of was Xing Shou.
Chief Xing has assisted the Jiang family's imperial power for more than two hundred years and is proficient in power management, making him very suitable to be the local prefecture chief.
After wandering around for a while, Jiang Changsheng left the underworld and returned to the ground.
He sent a message to Chief Xing, asking him to prepare to hand over his power and position, and then come to find him.
Although Xing Shou was puzzled, he did not dare to ask in return. He immediately found Jiang Che and raised the matter.
"What, you want to leave? Let me find someone to replace you? But who can I find?"
Jiang Che frowned. Xing Shou was the most perfect and loyal subordinate who could help him solve many problems, both overt and covert, and there was no need to worry about Xing Shou betraying him.
Xing Shou said: "Daozu has ordered that from now on, I don't need to assist the Jiang family's imperial power anymore. He wants to give me a greater mission."
When Jiang Che heard that it was Daozu, his brows relaxed, but he was still a little reluctant and sighed, "If you leave, who should I rely on?"
Xing Shou said: "You are the Son of Heaven, and all the people in the world are at your service."
The king and his ministers began to reminisce about the past. Xing Shou was not in a hurry, and Jiang Changsheng did not ask him to rush to Longqi Mountain immediately.
The next morning, Jiang Che came with the treasure box containing the head of the executioner and handed it to Jiang Changsheng.
The three ice sculptures in the courtyard did not arouse Jiang Che's interest, but Jiang Changsheng's clone made his eyelids jump. He looked at Jiang Changsheng and couldn't help asking: "Daozu, what do you want Xing Shou to do?"
Jiang Changsheng took the treasure box and said, "He has contributed to the Jiang family court for more than two hundred years. His merits are complete and it is time for him to ascend."
Ascension?
The three Baiqi demons who were tempering their bodies and Mu Lingluo and the other two in the ice sculpture all opened their eyes and listened attentively.
Jiang Che was also stunned, with a storm in his heart. He asked cautiously, "Does Xing Shou want to become an immortal god like you?"
"That's right."
"Then I..."
"You are the emperor of Yun Dynasty. This is not a test in itself, but a blessing for you."
Jiang Changsheng interrupted Jiang Che, and Jiang Che smiled bitterly, feeling that he had indeed gone too far.
Although he was tired, he knew that no matter how tired he was, he was still above everyone else, standing at the pinnacle of Tianjing Land, controlling the life and death of people all over the world. No one lived better than him, and his complaints were based on ambitions that countless people dared not even think about.
After a while, Jiang Che left.
Bai Qi couldn't help but ask: "Are you telling the truth?"
Jiang Changsheng said: "True or false is not that important . God is watching what you do. Immortal fate cannot be forced. Don't think too much about it."
Then he picked up the treasure box and went underground.
When they arrived in the underworld, Jiang Changsheng released Xingshou. He used his own magical powers to merge the causal power of the underworld with Xingshou, which was equivalent to giving Xingshou the power to control the underworld.
This process takes time, because Xing Shou is not strong enough and cannot be rushed.
In the process of integrating the power of cause and effect, Xing Shou received too many memories about the underworld, and his shock turned into expectation, and from fear to surprise.
It turns out what Daozu said was true!
Controlling the dead souls of the world and manipulating reincarnation, if this isn’t a god, then what is it?
Two whole months have passed.
Xing Shou had just become the lord of the underworld, and the first batch of dead souls from Tianjing land also entered the underworld one after another. Jiang Changsheng's original body returned to the courtyard, and everything in the underworld was handed over to Xing Shou.
At present, the underworld does not have the ability to reincarnate the souls of the dead. It needs to accumulate a certain number of souls and enhance the power of cause and effect before it can be integrated with the reincarnation rules of the martial arts world.
Mu Lingluo and Ji Wujun have finished tempering their bodies, and Qing'er has returned to Longqi Temple.
The two women came to Jiang Changsheng and curiously asked where Xing Shou had gone to become an immortal.
Jiang Changsheng said: "It cannot be said, the secret of heaven cannot be revealed."
Ji Wujun sighed and said, "So, there is more than one immortal god. Do other races also have the protection of immortal gods?"
Jiang Changsheng was not sure how to answer this question. Although he was the only one cultivating immortality in this world, he was not clear about the situation outside the universe. Even if other races did not have the protection of immortals and gods, they might have the protection of more powerful ancestors.
The existence of the Demonic River outside the sky forced him to be wary of the outside world.
Seeing that Jiang Changsheng didn't answer, Ji Wujun felt that he had the answer.
"Don't tell anyone about this. Just continue practicing."
Jiang Changsheng shook his head, then went to the Earth Spirit Tree to meditate.
The clone walked into his body and merged with him. He created a new clone and let it leave holding the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Mirror of Heaven and Earth.
Mu Lingluo, Ji Wujun and Bai Qi began to imagine the world of immortals and gods. Although Jiang Changsheng was practicing with his eyes closed, he was also listening quietly.
If he is really the only immortal cultivator in the world, then he can build a system of immortals and gods in the future, listen to the ideas of mortals, and use them as a reference.
…
Fengtian Dynasty, inside the imperial palace.
Emperor Li Ya listened to the reports from his ministers with a strange look on his face.
"The great celestial god who saves the suffering? Could it be the Taoist ancestor?"
Li Ya had an inexplicable thought. In his opinion, there were not so many immortals and gods in the world. It would be good to have just one.
It also fits the image of Daozu, who also relies on the mysterious sun to cover his face.
An old official said excitedly: "The fall of the seven demon saints will curb the expansion of the demon race. In the next few decades, Fengtian will at least not have to worry about the invasion of the demon race. Fengtian still has a chance to compete for the Holy Dynasty!"
Not only him, but other civil and military officials were also very excited.
If Fengtian could succeed, why would they surrender to other dynasties? Before, they were just afraid that Fengtian could not withstand the offensive of the demon clan.
Li Ya said slowly: "It seems that there are really immortals in the world. It is a good opportunity to use this incident to publicize Lei Shen Li Yi and let the people of the world know that Fengtian is also protected by immortals."
