Chapter 707 - Mortal Realm (1/2)
People had been speculating the relationship between Lord of Dao Qingshui and Daoist Master Taiyi. The most common theory was that Lord of Dao Qingshui was the daughter of Daoist Master Taiyi.
After Buddha and Daoist Master Taiyi attained detachment, Lord of Dao Qingshui became the world's greatest existence. Even if she was not related to Daoist Master Taiyi, no one would want to mess with her.
The Perfected Lord of Qingyuan Miaodao too did not want to provoke Lord of Dao Qingshui but even if he wanted to hide, he would not be able to hide from her.
Lord of Dao Qingshui said indifferently, ”You have forced my successor to death. It has to be an eye for an eye.”
”We are all Daluos but you just would not take Yang Jian seriously.” The Perfected Lord of Qingyuan Miaodao was known as Yang Jian in his previous life and continued to use this name in his current life. He was the nephew of the Heavenly King and the grand-disciple of the Daoist Master. His nobility was comparable to Lord of Dao Qingshui and even if he was fearful of her, he would never bow down to her.
Moreover, it was clear that Lord of Dao Qingshui wanted to end his path of Dao. The dharma that he cultivated had seventy two lives. He then reincarnated, experienced trials, achieved perfection and gained an extra life. He was at his peak and was just about to gain his big breakthroughs in the Yuxu Celestial Method, the foundation of attaining detachment.
He would not die if he lost one life. However, he would need to spend an endless amount of time to recreate the seventy third life. By the time he managed to do so, he would have faced tons of trials and the possibility of attaining detachment would greatly decrease.
Lord of Dao Qingshui emotionlessly said, ”Yes, I do not take you seriously.”
The streams of energy started to fluctuate in the void and Yang Jian was being careful about it. He then transformed into a giant with his third eye to the brow chakra opened widely to stimulate the tide of energy.
He knew that he would lose a life if he was careless. Before the infinite trials would strike, only one person could attain detachment and anyone stood a fair chance of doing so. Other rivals would be happy if they had one less competitor. In other words, someone might stab him in the back if he had the lower hand.
However, this was also his opportunity to inflict serious injuries on Lord of Dao Qingshui to rid of one competitor.
...
The Netherworld underwent changes again as Qing Xuan earth and star started to merge with the Netherworld. The sun of the Netherworld actually reached Qing Xuan earth and star. Endless streams of Yin energy emerged in the Netherworld while the Yang energy was dispelled to Qing Xuan earth and star.
Lu Jiuyuan let out a long sigh as his Daoist body collapsed and eventually fell apart. He merged with the Qing Xuan earth and star and became an incarnation of the laws of heaven to help Qing Xuan earth and star to absorb the Yang energy and to prevent the heaven and earth from complete destruction.
Gradually, the Qing Xuan earth and star expanded rapidly like boxes within boxes. The boxes were then taken out, causing the heaven and earth to expand and transform. The originally fragile rules were like silk being weaved into a cloth. It became thicker and thicker while the Netherworld became the other side of Qing Xuan earth and star's Yin Mountain, the real Hades.
The order of the karmic cycle was being established while the Netherworld was being shuffled. The twenty eight hells were formed and the Senluo Hall that housed the Underworld Demon Sect continued to absorbed the Qi of the Netherworld and became the true Senluo Hall.
Ye Liuyun showed up at the Senluo Hall and his white outfit was replaced with the King of Hell's robe. The demonic soldiers of the Netherworld who stood behind him hopped into the Yellow Springs and transformed into Messengers of Hell with the faces or horses and bulls.
The Path Master of the Evil Spirit Path was extremely delighted. He flipped and transformed into a judgment pen flew out from the void and landed in his hand.
He frowned and looked at Ye Liuyun, ”Sect Master, one more thing, the Register of Life and Death.”
A book then appeared out of nowhere with a dash of Qi of Xuan that formed the characters 'temporarily on loan'. The Qi of Xuan then dispersed as the book landed in front of Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun tried to peep into the Register of the Life and Death with his divine thoughts but the book refused to allow his divine thoughts in. Obviously, it did not want to recognize him as its master.
