Chapter 580 Qianye Zhenlong
Xie Que's consciousness slowly penetrated into the depths of the underworld.
In the underworld, he sensed the trapped Sakata Cang and Akainu, who seemed to be doing well now.
These two former masters of Yingzhou have spent three short years in this underworld.
In these long three years, Xie Que never took the initiative to look for them,
as if he had completely forgotten them in this dark corner, leaving them to fend for themselves in this underworld.
Although the two had deep cultivation and reached the divine realm, their divine bodies began to suffer invisible erosion under the constant erosion of the five elements of the underworld.
Although this erosion is slow, it should not be underestimated.
As time goes by, it gradually deepens,
which may have a devastating impact on the two's cultivation path.
They may even be forced to give up their original cultivation path and turn to the ghost path.
However, even so, Sakata Cang and Akainu still stick to their faith in Nichiren God.
This belief, like a spiritual pillar for decades, supports them in finding hope in despair.
Their piety has obviously reached a point where it is difficult to shake, and it is not easy for the outside world to influence.
Xie Que was not surprised by Sakata Cang and Akainu's firm belief in Nichiren God. He deeply understood the weight of this belief in their hearts.
However, Xie Que never had the idea of subduing the two.
He preferred to observe their transformation carefully through the baptism of the five elements of the underworld.
All of this is actually Xie Que's plan.
In his vision, if conditions permit, he plans to make full use of the unique properties of the underworld in the future to build a brand new underworld system.
In this system, he intends to wash away the existing memories of Sakata Cang and Akainu,
and then give them a new identity and mission, so that they can be transformed into ghost messengers of the underworld.
After all, the difference between the underworld and the Tianxin world is obvious.
The Tianxin world originated from the evolution of the Tianxin mark, which embodies a part of the power given to Xie Que by the Heavenly Dao.
In the Tianxin world, Xie Que can rely on the power of the Heavenly Dao to guide the consciousness of all beings,
and then create countless "NPCs" to ensure the continuous and orderly operation of this world.
In contrast, the underworld is a completely independent domain, which belongs purely to Xie Que.
Xie Que wants to make this underworld a complete and independent world, so that it can operate completely according to his will.
In order to achieve this goal, he must create a complete "underworld team" so that the order in it can operate more efficiently.
As time goes by, the underworld is growing, and now its scale has expanded to almost the size of the earth.
Whenever Xie Que feels this vast and unique land, he will sigh:
"It seems that... under the threat of war, fear, chaos and death, the five qi of the underworld born are the most pure."
After all, it was during the war that the expansion of the underworld was the fastest.
In the underworld, the change of seasons is completely different from the outside world. There is no cycle of four seasons here, only the alternation of summer and winter.
Whenever the wheel of life and death turns to the extreme yang side, the underworld welcomes its summer, and all things wither.
And when the wheel turns to the extreme yin side, winter comes, and the cold wind is biting.
In such a cycle, the underworld shows its unique transformation ability.
No matter what kind of breath is absorbed from the outside world, it can be transformed into the five qi of the underworld in this mysterious land.
At this moment, the underworld is in the severe winter season.
The wind roars, rolling up layers of snow, and the tops of the mountains are covered with white snow.
In such an environment, Sakata Zang has opened a cave in the mountains, trying to isolate the ubiquitous dark five qi by setting up a formation.
However, the spiritual energy of the underworld is thin, so the effect of the formation is not significant, and it can only bring a little insignificant shelter.
Despite this, Sakata Zang and Akainu still choose to live together.
Their mentality has changed, from the initial torment and uneasiness to now becoming accustomed to it.
For Sakata Zang, he knows that he is nothing more than death, and such an ending has long been indifferent.
And Akainu is hopeful. He firmly believes that if His Majesty the God wakes up in the future, the two of them will be saved.
On this day, the two of them walked out of the cave and came to the top of the mountain.
They used a stone table as a seat and snow water as tea.
Akainu even used real fire to roast the snow water to remove the dark smell in it.
Although there were no green plants in the underworld, they could only drink this pure snow water, but the two were already content.
Several shouts came faintly from the distance, accompanied by a strong surge of death.
Sakata Zang couldn't help but sigh when he heard the sound:
"These ghost soldiers are training every day. I really don't know who they are fighting against?"
Akainu looked at all this with a bitter and happy attitude. He smiled and said:
"It may have been to deal with our Tianshou Mansion in the past, but maybe they will sweep across the entire Yingzhou in the future."
"Yingzhou..."
Sakata Zang sighed again, and the name seemed to evoke his deep thoughts.
In their hearts, Yingzhou is not just a place name, it is more closely connected with Her Majesty Amaterasu, and has become a kind of belief and symbol.
The two fell into a brief silence, as if they were thinking about Yingzhou and their future.
Sakata Zang looked up at the sky from time to time, where a huge millstone was hanging high.
His eyes were deep and confused, as if he was looking for some kind of relief or answer.
At this moment, a figure appeared in the wind and snow, that was Xie Que.
He walked against the wind and snow, seemingly unaffected by the wind and snow.
Seeing Xie Que's arrival, Bantian Zang and Akainu were not surprised.
Sakata Zang waved his hand gently, and a stone bench appeared out of thin air.
"Sir, please sit down."
In the past three years, the two of them have experienced continuous training in the five Qi of Netherland, and their mentality has obviously become much deeper.
Even Akainu, who used to be hot-blooded, has learned to deal with various situations calmly under the pressure of this environment.
Xie Que watched the changes between the two of them and sat calmly on the stone bench.
He smiled and said to the two of them:
"You two are so happy, but it's not easy to maintain such a state of mind in such an environment."
Ban Tianzang also smiled when he heard Xie Que's praise.
He replied: "I haven't seen you for a long time, sir. I feel like you are stronger than before."
After hearing this, Xie Que couldn't help but smile, then picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.
He slowly put down the teacup and said slowly:
"How do you understand the way of creation?"
Sakatazo kept his calm expression and replied:
"Creation is really profound and profound. Although we try hard to understand it, we still feel that it is difficult to reach its core."
When Xie Que heard Bantian Zang's answer, he instantly understood what the other party was thinking.
He understood that even if Sakata Zang did not break through the way of creation, he would still firmly maintain the orthodox status of Nichiren Kami.
After a while, Xie Que spoke again:
"In that case, we don't need to say more."
Although he already knew the result, Xie Que still didn't expect that Sakata Zang would stick to his faith so devoutly.
Just as Xie Que was about to leave, he was unexpectedly stopped by Ban Tianzang from behind.
Sakata Zang's voice was full of exploration and doubt:
"Sir, after 300,000 years, you are returning to Yingzhou with this world. Do you intend to reshape the cycle of life and death in Yingzhou?"
This question has obviously been brewing in Ban Tianzang's mind for a long time, and he finally couldn't help asking it at this moment.
When Xie Que heard this question, he was suddenly stunned.
But then, he understood what Sakatazo was referring to.
The so-called three hundred thousand years are exactly the years when Qianye True Dragon was sealed.
Although Chiba True Dragon is not well-known in the world today, in the ears of the older generation like Sakata Zang, its name is still as thunderous as it represents a legend.
When Akainu heard Sakata Zou's question, he stood up suddenly, his eyes shining with light of realization.
He murmured to himself: "That's it...that's it..."
Obviously, he also thought of the legend of Qianba True Dragon and the identity of Takeshi Kurokawa.
Xie Que knew full well that Bantian Zang had mistaken himself for the born Qianye True Dragon.
In the entire history of Yingzhou, except for Qianba Zhenlong who once fought with Nichiren God, no one else has his strength.
Moreover, the priesthood held by Qianba Zhenlong coincides with the rules of the underworld, which makes Sakata Zang's misunderstanding more reasonable.
Xie Que was not surprised by this misunderstanding.
He did not immediately clarify the misunderstanding, but secretly thought about his next plan.
Xie Que stopped his hurried steps and had the idea of asking Bantian Zang for some information about Qianye True Dragon.
He turned around slowly and stared at Sakata Zang solemnly:
"The order of life and death in Yingzhou has been chaotic for too many years... If this continues, I am afraid that the entire Yingzhou will be in big trouble in the future."
Hearing this, Bantian Zang's body trembled involuntarily, obviously deeply touched by Xie Que's words.
He knew well that the root cause of the chaos within Yingzhou was the inability of true spirits to enter the underworld, which led to the reversal and disorder of the cycle of life and death.
For civilians, reincarnation may just mean starting a new life, with basically no impact.
However, for monks, this disordered cycle of life and death has serious consequences.
Whenever the soul transforms into pure yang, it can break the mystery in the womb and obtain the memory of the past life.
Those monks were able to reincarnate continuously, or seize their bodies and rebuild themselves, which in turn exacerbated the chaos in Yingzhou.
Bantian Zang stood up slowly and looked far away, looking at the Yin soldiers lined up neatly in the distance.
At this moment, his thoughts surged like a tide, and many thoughts intertwined and collided in his mind.
He wanted to say something to Xie Que, but when the words came to his lips, he hesitated.
Sakata Zang is not ignorant of the outside world. On the contrary, because he has personally participated in the war with the virtual space, he has a deeper and clearer understanding of the outside world.
It was this understanding that made him appear extra cautious and silent when facing Xie Que's words.
He knew very well that once he opened his mouth, it might affect the whole body and have a profound impact on Yingzhou's future.
Moreover, Sakata Zang also clearly understood deep down in his heart that the close connection between Yingzhou and Nichiren Kami-kun was essentially an interdependence based on interests.
The relationship is nakedly exposed to the needs and dependencies of both parties.
He understood that if it were not for this relationship of coexistence of interests,
How could a being as great as Nichiren Kami confine himself to a small world like Yingzhou?
However, although he knew this well, he was still unwilling to violate his deepest beliefs.
This belief is his loyalty and perseverance to Nichiren God and Yingzhou, and it is also his self-compulsion.
Now thinking back, he may begin to doubt whether His Majesty has really done something wrong...
This doubt quietly grows in his heart, but he is deeply buried.
In Yingzhou, the worship of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Therefore, when Xie Que mentioned the underworld, Sakata Zang could clearly imagine,
What will happen if the real underworld comes to the door.
That situation is far beyond the scope that Nichiren God can deal with alone, and it will become a disaster for the entire Yingzhou.
Perhaps now, those ghosts and gods have heard the news and started their actions...
Your Majesty's deep sleep may be related to this series of changes.
In the depths of Sakata Zang's heart, this thought flashed like lightning.
In just a short moment, his thinking and position have undergone earth-shaking changes.
He also began to examine his behavior and decisions from another perspective,
thinking that his current thoughts may have protected His Majesty invisibly.
No matter what, he didn't think he would betray Amaterasu, let alone harm her.
After all, no matter how great and powerful her majesty was,
it was difficult for him to fight against Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva or the power of the entire underworld alone.
Such a comparison made Sakata Zang realize the severity of the problem more clearly.
In his opinion, instead of letting Yingzhou continue to be self-contained and isolated from the outside world,
it would be better to open his mind and return to the operation of the underworld reincarnation.
In this way, Yingzhou may have a chance to return to normal order.
Taking a deep breath, Sakata Zang asked Xie Que:
"So... Senior... What can we do for Yingzhou?"
In his words, the way he addressed Xie Que had changed, and he had tacitly acknowledged that the other party was Qianye Zhenlong and the spokesperson of the underworld.
Xie Que smiled indifferently, and his smile revealed an unfathomable calmness.
He slowly asked:
"Do you know what I have mastered?"
Sakata Zang fell into deep thought, and he tried to recall the legends and stories about Xie Que.
After a long while, he carefully answered:
"Your Majesty Qianye once mastered the night and death. It is said that any deceased can cleanse their past with your Majesty."
He paused and continued to guess:
"This world must be the 'Tao' that your Majesty has realized?"
Xie Que was a little surprised. There was not much information in this statement,
but it also gave Xie Que a very critical information, that is, Qianye Zhenlong is very likely to have mastered the power of reincarnation.
And the power of reincarnation is also at the same level as the power of time,
so...this Qianye Zhenlong is really in good fortune. (End of this chapter)
