Outside the grand doors of the Wanxiang Hall.
As Wang Yuan paced back and forth, the "Small Book of Life and Death" inside him suddenly trembled, flipping open to the page bearing Nie Renxiong’s na.
What was originally "Black Law Judge: Nie Renxiong" in the biography section abruptly changed in appearance.
It had suddenly beco "Earth Departnt Divine Position·Punishnt Departnt Judge: Nie Renxiong!"
He was now one of the four judges of the seventy-two departnts—the Rewarding Good Departnt, Punishnt Departnt, Investigation Departnt and Yin Law Departnt.
Just as Wang Yuan had anticipated, Nie Renxiong had a very high affinity with both the Punishnt Departnt and Yin Law Departnt.
However, as a Military Judge specializing in fighting and killing, he naturally had a preference for the Punishnt Departnt.
[Biography: Nie Renxiong
Age: Thirty-three
Divine Position: Yin Departnt Ghost God·Punishnt Departnt Judge
Power: Eyes dark as lacquer, hair twisted like serpents, lips red as blood, beard sharp as pikes. He sees through mortals’ veiled efforts; not savoring the ethereal mists but feasting on Ghost Uncles!
"Punishnt," capable of precisely identifying people and ghosts of the world associated with the four "nots"—disloyalty, unfilial behavior, irreverence, dishonesty; and the four "lacks"—lack of courtesy, justice, integrity, and sha.
When facing them, additional strength is granted, allowing consumption of these eight types of evil ghosts to enhance oneself.
Cultivation: Black Law Judge thod, Yellow Seal Dharma Body Realm, Heavenly Punishnt Body.
Yin Morality: 180,000]
Note: The ledger master can share eighty percent of the rit earned (sharing rule of Chapter 225).
The ledger master may use the "King of Ten Thousand Ghosts" power to strip away their divine positions and reassign them at will.
Undoubtedly, Old Master Wang’s control over Nie Renxiong, his official subordinate in the Yin Departnt, was far superior to that of the forr Poverty God.
"So that’s how it is!"
Having seen this, Wang Yuan no longer needed to wait for Nie Renxiong to report back; he had already figured out what was going on.
He let out a deep sigh of relief.
The last ti he left the Myriad Phenona Heavenly Net,
the phoenix of all Ghost God statues from the Heavenly Departnt down in the San Tu River suddenly bore an indistinct "Wang" character on their foreheads (Chapter 286).
It was actually a brand secretly tainted by the "Small Book of Life and Death," through the power of "King Yanluo," the only Heavenly Departnt divine position of the "King of Ten Thousand Ghosts."
Marking them with his own brand.
Although his control over them was far from as strong as over his own Yin Officials, and the one percent inco sharing was ager,
the mont they were listed in the "Small Book of Life and Death," they were as good as in his pocket.
Wang Yuan could use "Yin Morality" as ink to modify their destinies in the "Small Book of Life and Death," boost their Taoist abilities, and enhance their longevity!
Let King Yama protect you!
Naturally, stripping them of their ghostly divine positions was not as convenient as with his subordinate Yin Officials, and it would require spending "Yin Morality"—just an extra stroke of the pen.
But Old Master Wang wouldn’t do such a foolish thing as to disconnect himself from the world.
He did not have to wait long.
Soon enough, the four of them walked out one after another through the grand doors of the Wanxiang Hall.
Qingyan, Long Shao, and Nie Renxiong looked invigorated, clearly having reaped great benefits.
The Immortal Official positions that best matched their affinities had imdiately produced a trendous positive boost to their own Daoist cultivation.
Mimicking Heaven and Earth, their progress would certainly far outstrip their peers.
Only Huang Wu had a look of unsettled shock on her face,
closely examining the back of her hand, which to others appeared fair and clean but to her bore the mark of a "dicine Mortar."
Seeing her partner approaching with concern, she rushed into his embrace, lips pouting:
"Xiao Yuan, soone bullied sister! Wuu wuu wuu..."
Hearing this, Qingyan and Long Shao also quickly gathered around.
Each Immortal Official received the protection of "Slaughter Science" when entering the Myriad Phenona Heavenly Net,
ensuring that even Heavenly Officials were unable to harm them directly through the Myriad Phenona Heavenly Net.
Thus, Huang Wu was able to make a successful escape from the Taiyin Star.
But she was acutely aware that this matter was far from over.
The myriad divine spirits of the Mortal World, according to legend, are manifestations of specific aspects of the Great Dao, essentially a form of "Heaven and Earth Spirit."
They gradually anthropomorphized due to the influence of sentient beings within the Human Dao and began to take on concrete forms and nas.
The "Jade Rabbit" was no exception.
Originally just a divine position hanging on the Moon Laurel, it began to "activate" due to being eroded by the "Killing Tree," becoming both a "Deceitful" entity and a "Deceitful God!"
Huang Wu speculated that it might be the first spirit of Heaven and Earth on the Taiyin Star to be corrupted.
The Jade Rabbit’s intentions now were not hard to guess.
If it used its power to erode other divine positions slowly, the pace would be too slow.
But by consuming other "activated" Heaven and Earth spirits, such as the Moon Toad and Chang’e, or those who had taken the divine positions from the Dou Departnt’s Immortal Officials,
it could use the attraction of similar "knowledge" to gather all the authorities belonging to the Taiyin Star and ascend to the highest throne of the Deity of the Moon!
Even now, after consuming the Moon Toad and Chang’e,
the Jade Rabbit’s power might have reached the Yellow Seal Peak, capable of condensing its own Deceitful Realm.
Although Huang Wu had already left the Wanxiang Hall,
this place was just a stepping stone for one’s spirit to enter the source of the Great Dao, and with that huge bright moon still hanging in the sky, it was far too early to breathe a sigh of relief.
This year, on the fifteenth of August, when the yin energy in heaven and earth is at its strongest and the moonlight is at its fullest, it will surely leave the moon and co to the mortal world to find !
Huang Wu lay in Wang Yuan’s solid and warm embrace, holding tightly to his neck, her heart still pounding fiercely.
But...
"Dead rabbit, thinking to eat won’t be that easy!"
Little Huang Wu, who road Jianghu up to now, had never relied solely on her Divine Power Skill.
She had made up her mind that when that rabbit caught up with her,
she would recite a few essays on the spot, "My King Yanluo Husband," "My Azure Dragon Mother," and "My Dragon King Aunt."
Even if she faced such an eerie thing, nothing unexpected should happen... right?
At this point,
Qingyan and Huang Wu had joined the Dou Departnt, Nie Renxiong had joined the Yin Departnt Ghost God Division, and Long Shao concurrently gained positions in both the God of Good and Evil Departnt and the Stepping Rain and Rising Clouds Departnt.
The two Corpse Dissection Immortals were quite satisfied with the destinations of these newly promoted Immortal Officials.
Withdrawing their gaze, they resud the conversation they had before Wang Yuan and his party arrived.
In the Ziwei Heavenly Palace, the monkey hair incarnation of the Six-Eared Macaque scratched its head:
"I’ve already gone through the intel sent back from Yunjing City.
Although the ’Dragon Qi Prohibition’ will sooner or later fall apart, watching these ignorant mortals indulge their desires, compromising with the Heavenly Official and the sect, and performing blood sacrifices on their own kind still infuriates !"
A stunning beauty in a blazing red dress with an aura imposing as the sun and moon leaned lazily on a jade couch, popping a grape into her mouth:
"You can’t catch a wolf if you don’t risk losing the sheep. We’ve been setting traps step by step with the goal of luring a Heavenly Official to risk incarnating in the mortal world.
How could they fall for it without a hint of hope for success?
After all, as the Dynasty collapses, the Nine Dragons Wall and the central Dragon Energy will soon disintegrate completely.
Then, the strongest Calamity that appears in the mortal world every few hundred years will unfold—The All Living Beings Tribulation!
The Five Virtues concludes and initiates, and it’s ti to vie for supremacy and revolutionize heaven and earth!"
"By the ti the Tribulation Energy spreads throughout the mortal world, we Corpse Dissection Immortals can no longer directly interfere with the struggle for the dragon in the Human Dao.
We can only let the fierce currents of Human Dao sweep through, using ten or even dozens of years to sift out the true master of Heavenly Destiny.
This last glimr of Dragon Energy will just be wasted otherwise.
According to my calculations, this Calamity will likely arrive before the end of this year!"
In this great upheaval that is both a tribulation and an opportunity,
although the collapse of Dragon Energy allows Magicians to travel freely across all lands,
it’s a revolution in the human world, one that will clear out two or three hundred years of accumulated karmic debts and allow the mortal world to start afresh.
When that ti cos, the surge of Tribulation Energy will be a million tis more terrifying than the world’s most formidable ’Deceitful Heart’!
Any Immortal Dao Cultivator who dares to ddle in the dragon struggle will be entangled in causality, and unless the revolution is fully accomplished, they will inevitably remain ensnared.
The blood and tears of countless predecessors tell them that almost ninety-nine percent who rush in during the great calamity end up worthless ashes.
The Dragon Court must proceed with caution!
Even Corpse Dissection Immortals cannot stop this torrent of Human Dao, nor can they wield the Sacrificial Treasure and beco the Emperor of the new dynasty.
What is the foundation for longevity in this world?
The only constant in the universe is impermanence.
The one thing that never changes is change itself!
Whether it’s a person, a race, or a world seeking to endure, the most fundantal ability is to adapt with the tis!
Placed beneath the native Heavenly Dao, the Human Dao is also searching for its own path.
A group of Corpse Dissection Immortals, though they erge from the dust, still bear the title of immortals.
An eternal ruler would only create an unchanging world as stagnant as dead water, forever devoid of hope!
That’s exactly what the Heavenly Officials and the sects hope to see.
Therefore, one of the underlying rules written in the Dragon Energy is that Cultivators must not be kings!
Long ago, the Nine Soldiers took a big hit on this point.
There was once a dynasty known as the New Dynasty.
Its ruler was a reforr from the Nine Soldiers, supported mightily by a few Corpse Dissection Immortals.
Covertly using the approach of ’cuckoo usurping the nest’ to overthrow the decayed old dynasty without a proper revolution,
then attempting to achieve the ideal Great Unity World in one fell swoop, but ultimately ending in failure.
Under the backlash of the Human Dao, the destined ruler erged out of nowhere, and not only the Nine Soldiers reforr but also his entire family t with a grueso end.
The Six-Eared Macaque, quite familiar with these stories and agreeing wholeheartedly, nodded affirmatively:
"Right, if we don’t show any reaction, the ’No-Life Dao’ and those Human Dao rebels might still harbor doubts and repeatedly test the Nine Soldiers’ movents,
creating unnecessary trouble.
Furthermore, when it’s ti to close the net and catch the No-Life Buddha, we’ll need a capable commander inside to coordinate.
But now that Dragon Energy is still thriving in Yunjing City, ordinary Immortal Officials definitely won’t be able to get close, so which of our dragons and phoenixes should we dispatch to go undercover in advance?"
Next mont,
before the Great Fate could even respond,
the Tribulation Energy above Wang Yuan’s head had already arrived abruptly.
