The banquet begins.
The last part of the Xuanhuang Banquet, the division of sacrifices, was presided over by Zhen Yuanzi, the greatest gourmet in the prehistoric world.
The minor immortals were flattered by this arrangement, and the major immortals were all delighted.
Zhenyuan Daxian was also happy about it.
For a moment, the sky was filled with dark yellow steam and auspicious light.
The sacrificial meat is crystal clear and surrounded by delicacies and blessings.
The eleven Hunyuan saints including the Three Pure Ones, the Two Saints, Nuwa, Hou Tu, Taiyi, Fuxi and others only had a brief taste and left shortly after the banquet began.
After the saints left, the immortals became more relaxed.
They passed the cups around, toasted each other, savored the delicacies, talked about everything, and preached the Dharma...
It can truly be said that: one comprehends the great Dao in the Xuanhuang Ding, and realizes the Taixuan in the soup of merit and virtue.
The entire heaven was bustling with activity.
The banquet lasted for a hundred years, and all the gods and immortals were delighted.
When the song ended and the crowd dispersed, the gods and immortals did not linger and said goodbye in a very free and easy manner.
They fly on rainbows, step on auspicious clouds, and ride on the wind to leave the heavens.
Sometimes walking among white clouds, sometimes going down into the breeze stream.
He swam freely in the Beiming Sea and then to the Cangwu Abyss.
The life of a free and easy immortal is roughly like this.
…
Time flies, the years pass by like a shuttle.
When the White Emperor sent an envoy to summon Beizheng Zhuanxu to the imperial capital.
Uttarakuru.
Zhuanxu, who was guarding the north, encountered a very troublesome problem.
The North is haunted!
And there were two of them making a fuss.
One of them lives in the river and is a cruel ghost; the other one lives in the water and is a plague ghost;
These two ghosts are not simple. Not only do they wreak havoc on mortal creatures, they can also infect immortals and gods!
Once infected by the two ghosts, the worst case scenario is that one will go crazy or insane, or die on the spot and his soul will be destroyed.
Whether it was the beings who had just ascended to heaven or the Golden Immortal Taiyi, they all suffered disasters.
For a time, people in the north were in panic.
This is very incredible.
Because the Xuanhuang Banquet ended not long ago and Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun was officially born, the influence of a new round of blessings and light on the prehistoric world has not yet ended.
Other regions and even blessed mountains and lands are constantly giving birth to talented and outstanding people, and they are popping up like mushrooms after rain.
Finally, when it came to Uttarakuru Continent, the original evil spirits and resentments had not been cleared away yet, and now another evil ghost appeared and occupied the area!
“How abominable!”
In the Ruoshui Kingdom, Chong and Li, who were under Zhuanxu's command, returned angrily.
"Gao Yang, you should punish me. I let the plague ghost in Ruoshui escape again!"
Chong came to Zhuanxu in a depressed mood to report.
Li Yi's face was filled with regret. He said helplessly, "The tortured ghost in the river is very slippery. The curse seems to have no effect on it. The tortured ghost noticed that I was leading people there, and it immediately fled."
Zhuanxu was not surprised.
The two ghosts escaped in the previous attempts to surround them. This time, I asked my right-hand man to go, just to test their level and origins.
"To be able to appear under the residual power of that great emperor, I'm afraid we can't handle it."
Li looked at Zhuanxu's thoughtful expression and rarely suggested asking for help.
"This is probably one of the calamities that befell the North. We are not strong enough to annihilate it in such a short time. To avoid a major blunder, I think we should report it to the Imperial Capital."
The general also let go of his stubbornness. "The methods of these two ghosts are really strange. They are not afraid of the immortal thunder, nor the martial arts blood. They come and go without a trace . We can't capture them with our methods."
"Especially the cruel ghost in the river. It has been wreaking havoc along the river basin and has already invaded many witch tribes. The witch tribe was so angry that they sent out eight great witches to encircle and suppress it, but they were unable to capture it."
"If we don't stop them, I'm afraid these two ghosts will become a serious threat to Northern Julu Continent."
Zhuanxu nodded: "These two ghosts, although called ghosts, are neither immortals nor gods. They are not part of the Five Elements and are beyond the Six Paths. They have vaguely touched upon the power of mastering certain rules.
Otherwise, these two ghosts would never be able to influence so many immortals, or even touch the fundamental principles of the Golden Immortals and Taiyi ."
"rule?"
Chong and Li looked at each other, and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
"That's right."
Zhuanxu said, "When the evil ghosts of torture and plague wreak havoc, mortals affected by them will babble, as if possessed by evil spirits, and speak of indescribable things; immortals and gods will go mad for no apparent reason, as if they have lost their minds."
"However, when I examined the infected immortals and mortals, I didn't detect any signs of damage to their gods."
At this point, Zhuanxu sighed and said, "You know, even if the Heavenly Demon tried to invade the consciousness of the immortal gods, it couldn't do it to this extent."
All the demons in the demon world are invisible and formless.
The ability to accurately influence and assess immortals and gods is the result of the power of the Great Demon King, or the power of the new demonic path.
With the help of the two sacred artifacts of the demon world, the demons can use the power of the rules to directly eliminate them.
But precisely because the power is borrowed, the traces of the demons trying to gain power will be detected by the powerful.
"But these two ghosts are different. It's as if they were created by the rules. Once a certain condition is triggered, they can interfere with the real world. I even doubt whether they have real entities."
This is actually what gave Zhuanxu the most headache.
As long as there is a physical entity in the world, it means that it can be harmed.
No matter how fast the opponent can run, he has a way to kill him.
But the problem is, is it really as simple as "running away" for the torture ghosts and plague ghosts to "escape" from the river and Ruoshui?
After listening to Zhuanxu's analysis, Chong and Li fell into deep thought.
"It is beyond our reach, and it controls the rules, unaffected by the world. Since such a being is not a trial demon from the demon world, then it is probably not from the prehistoric world either!"
The two of them looked into the sky, their deep eyes revealing a glimmer of wisdom.
"A demon from outer space? That 's a possibility."
Zhuanxu also looked up at the sky. He murmured softly twice and then smiled.
"Whether it's true or not, we have to pull out these two nails!"
Zhuanxu looked at the calm Ruoshui and already had some plans in mind.
"The only thing that defeats the rules is the rules."
Seeing that Zhuanxu seemed to have a clear mind, Li felt relieved.
He asked, "Should we still go and ask for help?"
"Yes! Of course!"
Zhuanxu laughed heartily and answered decisively, "Not only must we send a message to the imperial capital, but we must also mobilize all the major races in Northern Julu Continent, especially the witch and lich races, who have been deeply harmed by the two ghosts and are in dire straits!"
"We must unite all the forces that can be united in Uttarakuru to destroy our common enemy!"
Hearing such powerful words again, he couldn't help but scratch the back of his head: "Are the two races of wizards and liches in dire straits?"
There were two ghosts, one in Ruoshui and the other in Jiangshui.
The former is in the heart of the human nation of Ruoshui, and the latter is just next to the Witch Clan. The Demon Clan didn't even suffer any losses.
If we talk about who has suffered the most, then the human race is the most unlucky.
Li Jianzhong was so clueless that he shook his head and said, "Of course it's in dire straits!"
"Two indescribable monsters are wreaking havoc on Northern Julu Continent. Although we have curbed their momentum and confined their destruction to a certain area, their methods are so bizarre and their abilities so terrifying that there's no guarantee they won't undergo further changes!"
"If we can't hold on any longer, what do you think will happen to the two tribes of witches and liches?"
“Be prepared for danger in times of peace and take precautions before it happens!”
"As the two major races of Uttarakuru, how can we allow such a disaster to spread more widely?"
“…”
This lecture made Chong Lianlian beg for mercy and admit his mistake.
Li then gave up.
“Huh~”
I breathed a sigh of relief.
[Li is good in every way, except that when he gets excited, he talks endlessly, which is really a headache.]
Chong was very suspicious whether this habit was developed when the other party was studying in the imperial capital.
[Could it be that the priest who taught Li cultivation usually scolded Li like this?]
I thought unscrupulously.
At this time, Zhuanxu also instructed: "Apart from the imperial capital and the two tribes of witches and liches, you need to go to another place."
"Where?" Li Hezhong asked curiously.
Zhuanxu laughed and said, "The netherworld!"
Underworld?
Li Hezhong was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face.
"Yeah! We really have to go to the underworld!"
He slapped his thigh and chuckled, "Whether it's a torture ghost or a plague ghost, whether it's a real ghost or not, we should notify the underworld."
Li nodded and said, "Since it is a ghost, then we have reason to suspect that the underworld did not take good care of the Nine Netherworld criminal, allowing it to escape and wreak havoc on the world!"
"If it's not a serious criminal in the underworld, then I believe the underworld would also be interested in making a visit!"
"After all, there is no such rare ghost in the entire prehistoric world. I don't believe that the underworld will not be tempted!"
Zhuanxu nodded and said, "When it comes to catching ghosts, the underworld is the most professional! You should communicate with the Emperor of the Underworld and the Ten Kings of Hell to see if you can get some great ghosts and gods to help you."
"We will definitely live up to your mission!"
Chong and Li talked and then left.
…
Shortly after the two left, envoys from the imperial capital arrived in Ruoshui Kingdom.
He conveyed the will of the White Emperor to Zhuanxu.
"Call me back to the imperial capital to supervise the country?"
Zhuanxu took the decree and quickly understood the reason.
Baidi is about to return to his position!
However, Zhuanxu appeared calm.
He first expressed his wishes, and then informed the envoy of the situation in the north.
"Haunted?"
The envoy from the imperial capital first looked at the tranquil Ruoshui River basin with curiosity, and then his expression suddenly became strange.
Zhuanxu saw the suspicion and asked, "Messenger, is there anything else you want to tell me?"
The messenger came back to his senses, then nodded and replied, "I do have something to tell Bei Zheng..."
Zhuanxu pretended to listen.
The messenger said, "Before I arrived, a theft occurred in the imperial capital. While the emperor was attending a banquet in heaven, an imperial seal was stolen."
Zhuanxu's expression changed, and he asked hurriedly, "Which imperial seal?"
The messenger recalled, "It seems to be the one built during the battle in the southwest sea."
"Southwest Abyss Sea?" Zhuanxu's eyebrows knitted together, and he nodded: "I understand."
"In that case, I will return to report."
The messenger smiled and was about to leave.
Zhuanxu stopped him and asked, "You haven't asked the envoy's name yet?"
The messenger slapped his head, pretending to understand something: "Oh, it's all my fault for not introducing you."
Then, he solemnly saluted and said, "Ao Mo'ang from the West Sea, greetings to Bei Zheng!"
"Fellow Daoist of the Dragon Clan!"
Zhuanxu raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a faint smile.
…
A moment later, Ao Mo'ang, who was fooled by Zhuanxu, did not rush back to the imperial capital, but went to the Dragon Palace in the North Sea instead.
"Borrowing troops?"
Ao Shun was quite surprised when he heard his nephew's request.
Ao Mo'ang nodded and said, "Zhuanxu, the Northern Emperor of the Human Race, is planning to siege the demons in the Jiangshui and Ruoshui Rivers, so he hopes that Fourth Uncle can lend him some soldiers and generals."
After hearing this, Ao Shun understood.
If the river is haunted, why not seek help from the Dragon King of the river, but instead go to the Dragon Palace in the North Sea to borrow troops?
I'm afraid borrowing troops is fake, and making myself take sides is real.
However, thinking of the order from the ancestor of Qinglong, Ao Shun did not refuse.
"I will lead the army and go with you!"
Such decisiveness actually surprised Ao Mo'ang: "Fourth Uncle, you want to go in person?"
Ao Shun smiled and said, "I have nothing to do in the North Sea recently, so I'm going to Beijuluzhou to see what kind of ghost can give the human race Beizheng such a headache."
So, Ao Shun gathered all his generals and marched towards Ruoshui Kingdom in a mighty force.
…
River water.
A group of immortal gods and demons were infected again, and they were completely unaware of the impending crisis.
In other words, it doesn't care about Zhuanxu's methods.
"This time, I won't be here in person. I'll only use the power of rules to leverage the negative forces of the prehistoric world to help me. How will you respond?"
The demon god Tiancang was very proud of himself for successfully sneaking into the prehistoric world again.
After learning of Zhuanxu's existence, he instinctively felt threatened by him.
This feeling is hard to explain, but as the Hunyuan Demon God, he is certain that Zhuanxu will cause great trouble to him.
So, the Demon God Tiancang wanted to kill Zhuanxu as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, Tiancang tried twice but failed both times, and was almost targeted by Honghuang Tiandao.
As the almost designated successor of Baidi, Zhuanxu was protected by the destiny of humanity and it was impossible for him to be disturbed by external forces and fall.
Even if it is the Hunyuan Demon God, it is impossible to kill it without showing his real body.
So Tiancang changed his mind and planned to use the power of Honghuang itself to deal with Zhuanxu.
"But speaking of which, who was that ghost that came to the Ruoshui River Basin?"
Tiancang was very confused. He was such a professional troublemaker, but he couldn't get a special report in Zhuanxu's territory.
How did the fellow in the water do it?
"Could it be that another fellow Daoist from the rear has broken through the blockade and sneaked in?"
Tiancang had to doubt this.
After all, according to his observation, Ruoshui's plague ghost was also aiming to kill Zhuanxu.
And their methods are so similar.
It is simply unacceptable for you to say that this is not your teammate.
After much deliberation, Tiancang decided to contact this colleague.
Regardless of whether he is a teammate or not, seeing that the other party is so powerful and has not been killed, it is worth Tiancang's effort to win him over.
So, the tortured ghost started a chat with the plague ghost.
"If you play Zhuanxu, I will play Zhuanxu too; if you live in water, I will live in water too; if you are a ghost, I will be a ghost too."
"We are in the same group!"
Ruoshui Plague Ghost replied quickly.
"Bah! Who's with you?"
"You despicable, shameless, contemptible, and pretentious water ghost of the river, who can only sneak attack and run away, don't even think about getting close to me, the king of water!"
The ghost was confused at this time.
Am I despicable? Am I vulgar and pretentious? Am I just a sneak attack and run?
Am I trying to reach the heights of a king like Ruoshui?
"No, who are you?!"
I have been torturing ghosts all my life, but I have never seen such an arrogant ghost!
"Low-class water ghost!"
The plague ghost's tone was sarcastic and sharp, as if the cruel ghost living in the river was not worthy of talking to Him who occupied Ruoshui.
Then, He cut off the connection.
The ghost torturer was almost pissed to death.
"Don't let me know who you are!"
He was filled with resentment, so he slipped out of the river and infected a group of immortals and gods. He also abused the nearby witch tribe, and then left with a sense of relief.
