Chapter 85: Kill the Incarnation and Return the Cause and EffectHou Tu pointed at the dozens of magic weapons, and suddenly, those dozens of magic weapons scattered away. They fell into various places in the netherworld, and then evolved into various buildings, such as the Ghost Gate, the Naihe Bridge, the Mirror Platform, the Yama Palace, the Judge's Court, the Eighteen Levels of Hell, and so on. Only the Twelve-Level Purple Lotus of Reincarnation, the Book of Life and Death, and the Judge's Pen were left, and these three flew in front of Hou Tu. Among them, the Twelve-Level Purple Lotus of Reincarnation descended to support Hou Tu's body, while the Book of Life and Death and the Judge's Pen fell into Hou Tu's hands respectively. Hou Tu held the Book of Life and Death in one hand and the Judge's Pen in the other, and she looked a bit like Zhen Yuanzi holding the Book of the Earth and the God-killing Spear. Hou Tu was seen looking down at the entire underworld, and suddenly she sighed. Then an incarnation emerged from her body. It was a god, formed by the faith and vows of all living beings, combined with the merits of Hou Tu's reincarnation. As soon as this incarnation appeared, the golden wheel of merit behind Hou Tu decreased a little. However, this incarnation was extremely powerful, with the cultivation of a quasi-saint, and sat down in one of the ten Yama Palaces. This incarnation is named Eastern Jade Treasure Emperor Tianzun, also known as Qin Guangwang, the Tai Su Miao Guang Zhenjun of the First Palace of the Underworld. The Yama Palace where he sits is called Xuanming Palace. And immediately afterwards, another incarnation slashed out, and at the same time, the golden wheel of merit behind Hou Tu became smaller. This incarnation entered the second Yama Palace, Ximing Palace, and the name of this incarnation was called Southern Xuanzhen Wanfu Tianzun, also known as Chujiang King, Yin De Dingxiu Zhenjun of the Second Palace of the Underworld.
Another incarnation slashed out and entered the third Yama Palace. This was the Western Taimiao Zhiji Tianzun, also known as the Song Emperor, the True Lord of the Third Palace of the Underworld. Another incarnation slashed out and entered the fourth Yama Palace, Taihe Palace. This was the Northern Xuanshang Yuchen Tianzun, also known as the Wuguan King of the Fourth Palace of the Underworld, Xuande Wuling Zhenjun. Another incarnation slashed out and entered the fifth Yama Palace, Jiulun Palace. This was the Northeastern Duxian Supreme Saint Tianzun, also known as the Most Victorious and Brilliant True Lord of the Five Palaces of the Underworld, Yama King. Another incarnation slashed out and entered the Mingchen Palace, the sixth Yama Palace. This was the Southeastern God of Good Fortune and Deliverance, also known as the King Biancheng, the True Lord of the Sixth Palace of the Underworld. Another incarnation slashed out and entered the seventh Yama Palace, Shenhua Palace. This was Tai Lingxu Huang Tianzun of the southwest, also known as Taishan King, the True Lord of the Seven Palaces of the Underworld. Another incarnation slashed out and entered the eighth Yama Palace, the Bizhen Palace. This was the Infinite Taihua Tianzun of the northwest, also known as the Urban King of Feimo Yanqing Zhenjun of the Eighth Palace of the Underworld. Another incarnation slashed out and entered the ninth Yama Palace, the Qifei Palace. This was the Jade Void Minghuang Tianzun, also known as the Supreme and Righteous Lord and Equal King of the Ninth Palace of the Underworld. Another incarnation slashed out and entered the tenth Yama Palace, Suying Palace. This was the True Emperor Cave God Tianzun below, also known as the Wheel King of the Five Hua Wei Ling Zhenjun of the Ten Palaces of the Underworld. These ten Yama Kings each bear part of Hou Tu's merits and various causes and effects, but they practice Shintoism and are responsible for sitting in the underworld and maintaining the order of reincarnation. Hou Tu then divided the Book of Life and Death and the Judge's Pen in her hand into ten parts, each of which fell into the hands of the Ten Kings of Hell. At this time, the golden wheel of merit behind Hou Tu had been reduced by almost half. Hou Tu attained enlightenment through merit. At this time, his merits and virtues were greatly reduced, and his cultivation naturally weakened. However, his strength was similar to that of Hong Yun before. Originally, with the help of the merits of reincarnation, Hou Tu's cultivation had reached the middle stage of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian. It is even not far from the late stage of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian. It can be seen how enormous the merits of reincarnation are. But now, after the ten incarnations were separated, Hou Tu's cultivation level has been greatly reduced, and has fallen from the middle stage of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian to the early stage of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian. However, even so, Hou Tu's strength is still extremely strong, comparable to Sanqing, Hongyun, Zhenyuanzi and others. But the two saints in the west were extremely envious. Among all the saints, they had the least merits, especially Zhunti, who was on the verge of being knocked down from the sainthood at any time. By now, Jie Yin and Zhunti had obviously realized that they might have been tricked by Hong Yun.
Therefore, the two of them are now extremely wary of Hong Yun. However, it is said that Hou Tu's own strength was greatly reduced because she killed ten incarnations, but it also reduced a lot of cause and effect, and she no longer had to be entangled by the cause and effect of all living beings, which was of great benefit to her future practice. Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi looked at each other, and Hongyun smiled, and the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler appeared in his hand. After taking a look, Hongyun threw the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler into the underworld and it landed in front of Houtu. "Fellow Daoist Hou Tu, it's time for this Hongmeng Measuring Ruler to be returned to its original owner." Hong Yun's voice sounded. But when Hou Tu looked over, Hong Yun had already left with Zhen Yuanzi. Outside the thirty-three heavens, in the Pure Heaven, Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi were sitting together in the backyard of the Wuzhuang Temple, under the ginseng fruit tree. They each took a ginseng fruit and ate it with relish. "Hongyun, don't you feel sorry for the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler at all?" Zhen Yuanzi said with a smile. Hong Yun heard this and said, "Feeling bad? That thing was never mine in the first place, so why should I feel bad? Now that it has been returned to its original owner, it just settles the cause and effect." "This Hongmeng Measuring Ruler might be more useful in her hands." "As for me." Hong Yun smiled and said, "I don't need it anymore. Next time, if I fight with Tai Qing Laozi again, I can smash his Tian Di Xuan Huang Linglong Pagoda without using the Hong Meng Tian Jian Ruler!" Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi laughed and said, "After all, he is the eldest senior brother, and he is the incarnation of Pangu's original spirit. How can he be simple? Whether we kill the three corpses to prove the truth or prove the truth in the world, we still have some distance to go." "Besides, he also killed three corpses, which is about the same as us now. How dare you say that you will be stronger than him in the future?" Hong Yun smiled and said, "If I fail to kill the three corpses and only achieve enlightenment in the world, and he kills the three corpses and achieves enlightenment, he may be able to compete with me, but what if I succeed in both ways of achieving enlightenment? Or what if he fails?" Without waiting for Zhen Yuanzi to speak, Hong Yun asked and answered himself: "Then I am the most powerful among all the saints." "He is not good at Taiqing, Yuqing, Shangqing, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Nuwa." Hong Yun spoke with great confidence. Although Zhen Yuanzi felt that he was a little pretentious, he had to admit that Hong Yun did have this ability. Because now, beheading the three corpses to attain enlightenment can only be said to be a relatively certainty, but Hong Yun can definitely achieve enlightenment in the world. Jianmu is so powerful that he has completely paved the way for achieving enlightenment in the Red Cloud World. Hong Yun doesn't even need to practice now. As long as he patiently waits for the growth of the Qiankun world, it will be enough to push him to the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian. (End of this chapter)
