Chapter 1 The Underworld

Within the Three Realms, Dao Ancestors hold extremely high positions. Especially those at the peak Dao Ancestor level and above, they can decide the human emperor of a realm, the Heavenly Emperor of the Celestial Realm, and the Yama King of the Underworld.

This time, the situation was also extremely special. The Six Paths of Reincarnation had collapsed, but they couldn't allow countless living beings in the world to have no return, they had to maintain the order of the Heavenly Dao.

It was precisely for this reason that those Dao Ancestors who controlled a realm each established a small-scale reincarnation cycle, and then selected Heavenly Immortals from their subordinate Great Worlds to serve as Yama Kings.

Jiang Xuan didn't expect that Ancestor Shennong would let him serve as a Yama King as well, but for him, this was an opportunity. He had always been very interested in the Dao of Reincarnation, and now he could gain a close understanding of it, which was a good opportunity.

"The matter of reincarnation is urgent. Seize the time to handle your own affairs, and then go to the Shennong Realm Underworld to take up your post," Ancestor Shennong instructed Jiang Xuan. Jiang Xuan bowed and acknowledged the order.

"Well, you may leave."

After that, Ancestor Shennong dismissed Jiang Xuan, as he still had other matters to discuss with the True Immortals and Heavenly Gods.

Now was a time of troubles. The relationship between the Wu Jian Sect and the Three Realms was deteriorating. The current Three Realms seemed calm, but it was actually the silence before the storm. Before long, the flames of war would sweep across the entire Three Realms.

Therefore, the Dao Ancestors of the major realms would now instruct their subordinate True Immortals and Heavenly Gods on various matters.

However, these matters were difficult to conceal. The Wu Jian Sect had a Heart Devil Dao Ancestor who merged with the Heavenly Dao. Few things in the world could be hidden from the Wu Jian Sect. In addition, there was Yuan, the old man, the oriole behind, and the Three Realms had no advantage at all.

Moreover, Jiang Xuan didn't know many of the creatures controlled by Yuan, the old man, but during the final battle, there were dozens of True Gods and Dao Ancestors controlled by Yuan, the old man alone, and tens of thousands of Heavenly Gods and True Immortals died because of him. Jiang Xuan couldn't determine how many creatures in the Three Realms were controlled by Yuan, the old man.

Therefore, his current situation was also not good. There were too few strong people he could truly trust.

However, he wasn't without any means, and there was still a long time, so he might be able to break the situation.

…

Returning to his Immortal Abode, Jiang Xuan simply explained some things, and then went to the Underworld of the Shennong Realm alone. As for Ao Yu, Jiang Xuan also left him behind to guide You Zhu and others, and at the same time, he could let him obtain opportunities in the Daoist temple.

In the endless netherworld, there was a vast world. At a glance, countless white-robed people were walking in a queue, and there were many ox-headed and horse-faced ghost soldiers whipping and watching them.

Now that the Underworld of the Shennong Realm was newly built, countless living beings in the two years since the collapse of the Six Paths of Reincarnation were waiting to be reincarnated, and this small Underworld was also filled with countless yin souls.

Of course, although this was a small-scale Underworld, the Shennong Realm was governed by Ancestor Shennong, one of the Three Sovereigns. Under his command were dozens of Great Worlds, as well as many Small Worlds. Countless living beings died every day, and this small Underworld was jointly opened up by several Dao Ancestors, containing fragments of the true Six Paths of Reincarnation rules. It was vast and boundless, accounting for one-tenth of the size of the Shennong Realm!

"Is that Fellow Daoist Jiang Xuan?"

Just as Jiang Xuan appeared in this small Underworld, a figure in Yama King robes appeared.

"Indeed." The person in front of him was a Heavenly Immortal, and was obviously one of the Yama Kings.

"Well, follow me, Fellow Daoist. The Underworld is newly built, and there are many things to deal with. We can talk as we go," the Heavenly Immortal said, leading the way. Soon, they arrived at a huge city.

There were buildings everywhere in this city, and ghost soldiers were everywhere. It was one of the Yama Cities, and there were many Halls of Judgment.

"Tai Xuan Fellow Daoist, from now on, you will be the master of this Yama City, responsible for the reincarnation of living beings in the five Great Worlds of Tianyu, Diming, Lieshan, Xuanfan, and Quyou, as well as the many Small Worlds under their jurisdiction."

On the way, Jiang Xuan communicated with him through divine sense, and naturally understood quickly. The person in front of him was Daoist Feng Shen, a king of the Dizi Great World. After the reincarnation cycle was built, he was also selected as one of the Yama Kings of the Shennong Realm, and was also responsible for the reincarnation of five Great Worlds and many Small Worlds.

"Well, thank you, Fellow Daoist Feng Shen."

Jiang Xuan said, and walked towards the Yama King's Palace. When he stepped into it, a Yama King's robe was automatically evolved and attached to his body. At the same time, he seemed to have established a connection with some kind of power in the dark.

"Is this reincarnation?"

Jiang Xuan felt something in his heart, but now was not the time to carefully comprehend it. The Underworld had just been established, and there were many things to deal with. The living beings who had died in the past few years were now gathered here, and it would not be easy to deal with them all.

However, he also had a large number of judges, ox-headed and horse-faced figures, Black and White Impermanence, and other underworld officials to handle affairs. The Yama King was mainly responsible for coordinating all matters, and at the same time, re-editing the Book of Life and Death.

After all, the Great Reincarnation of the Three Realms had collapsed, and the whereabouts of the Book of Life and Death were unknown. The living beings who died during this period had no records of their past and present lives. They could only start recording from the collapse of reincarnation.

It was precisely for this reason that the Dao Ancestors also imitated the Book of Life and Death, the Six Paths of Reincarnation, etc., and the Yama Kings of each realm judged countless dead souls, sending them to reincarnation or to hell, and at the same time, they had to use the power of the imitated Book of Life and Death to re-record the present lives of countless living beings in the world.

"A thankless job."

Jiang Xuan thought, but he felt that it was very suitable for him now.

This time, his tribulation had already brought him into the eyes of some people in the Three Realms, but this was unavoidable. He wanted to try the Golden Core World method, which was unavoidable. With a Heart Devil Dao Ancestor merged with the Heavenly Dao, unless he left the Three Realms to undergo tribulation, he would be known no matter where he was.

However, it was obviously impossible to leave the Three Realms to undergo tribulation, so he could only choose to expose himself to those living beings.

But now being in the Underworld was very good. After experiencing the collapse of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Dao Ancestors all attached great importance to the Underworld, and there were many arrangements left by the Dao Ancestors. Moreover, the Dao Ancestors were watching at all times. To break through the Underworld, it was only possible if the realm war of one realm was defeated.

He felt that this was also Ancestor Shennong preparing to protect him. After all, a Heavenly Immortal who was not even thirty years old was indeed amazing enough. Ancestor Shennong naturally did not want to see Jiang Xuan die too early.

Therefore, in this small Underworld, it was the safest place for Jiang Xuan now. Moreover, in places like the Shennong Realm, unless the war reached the final stage, the Wu Jian Sect would not dare to attack rashly. After all, the Three Realms all knew the strength of the human race.

The Three Sovereigns of the human race were all leader-level combat forces, not to mention the head of the Three Sovereigns, Suirenshi, who was recognized by Zhurong, one of the Ten Great Chaos Ancestral Gods who innately controlled the Fire Element Heavenly Dao, as being inferior to him. His strength was unfathomable.

Moreover, the Five Emperors of the human race were also not to be underestimated, all of them had strength close to the leader level. In addition, the human race had many top Dao Ancestors and ordinary Dao Ancestors, just like those incarnations that Jiang Xuan had seen in the Human Emperor's Palace before, they were all Dao Ancestors!

It was precisely for this reason that if the Wu Jian Sect wanted to break through the Shennong Realm, one of the Three Sovereigns, they had to be prepared to suffer heavy losses. Even if Jiang Xuan's talent was high, it was definitely not worth it for him alone.

Therefore, in this Underworld, Jiang Xuan could grow more at ease. At least before the final battle came, he didn't have to worry about safety issues.

However, in the early stages, there were indeed many things to do. It would not be easy to finish dealing with the reincarnation of countless living beings in the past two years. At least in the short term, he had no chance to leave the small Underworld.

…

Time flew by, and several months had passed, but Jiang Xuan had only finished dealing with the reincarnation of living beings in one Great World. There were always deaths in the world, and it had been accumulating for several years, so it was naturally troublesome to deal with. It would definitely not be possible to finish it all in a short time.

"The Twelve Divine Demons of the Capital Heavens… it's finally here."

In the Yama King's Palace, Jiang Xuan was reviewing the judgments submitted by the judges, tens of millions of copies in an instant.

But at this moment, he also had a memory of a divine power secret technique in his mind, which was the *Twelve Divine Demons of the Capital Heavens*.

This divine power secret technique was similar to the *Eighteen Divine Demons of Taowu* and the *Thousand-bodied Sacred Classic*, all of which had three levels.

The *Twelve Divine Demons of the Capital Heavens* was also like this. The first level condensed twelve incarnations, each of which was the main body, but their strength was only one-twelfth of the original; the second level was to increase the strength of the twelve incarnations to the original level of the deity; as for the third level, it was to combine the twelve incarnations, so that their own strength would skyrocket again.

This method was original to the Three Realms, and it was also the most suitable for cultivation in the Three Realms. As for the *Eighteen Divine Demons of Taowu*, Heavenly Immortals needed to use Chaos Spiritual Liquid for cultivation. He didn't have the cultivation method now, and even if he had the cultivation method, where could he find Chaos Spiritual Liquid?

And the *Thousand-bodied Sacred Classic* was even more unnecessary to mention. To cultivate, he needed a World Heart, and a World Heart could only be born after the destruction of a Chaos Universe. Not to mention him, even if all the Dao Ancestors of the Three Realms joined forces, they couldn't find one.

This divine power secret technique was completely a decoration in the Three Realms. Even if many Dao Ancestors had it in their hands, they couldn't cultivate it at all.
