Chapter 636 Simple Mission
After this incident, everyone knew that the emperor and empress would not wrongly accuse anyone, and their actions would be very precise, but they would not exaggerate the matter or kill everyone with one blow. This made many of the onlookers secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
The immortals are all shrewd people and are afraid of being implicated unnecessarily. This matter was handled so smoothly. There are many immortals on the Skynet singing praises, but they are not so fanatical. In addition, Chu Wuxia and others who took action also won everyone's recognition.
The immortal and Taoist sects were the most shocked. After all, the six major immortal and Taoist sects were gone, especially the Taiyi gods and demons were dealt with by the emperor and empress. This kind of shock and result was not expected by many immortals.
Everyone saw the outcome and watched how the Emperor and Empress dealt with the Taiyi God and Demon. They naturally understood the consequences of angering the Emperor and Empress and infringing on the interests of Heaven. They all made adjustments in secret, especially canceling all arrangements regarding the reincarnation underworld.
"Why don't we withdraw?" asked the elder of Lieyang Immortal Sect.
There have been a lot of problems in the ten major immortal sects recently. The Moral Immortals have been making a big fuss, so even they have to ask the Golden Immortals to suppress it. Whenever there are any problems, the Golden Immortals will directly ban their cultivation and put them in solitary confinement in a dark room.
In receiving the team, the ten major immortal sects did not gain any advantage. Some immortal sects were not very happy about it, thinking that the Lingyun Immortal Sect was too useless. Even with the presence of Immortal Concubine Yunxi, they did not fight for the benefits for everyone. Since then, there have been quarrels.
Now that the matter of reincarnation and the underworld has been cleared up, there are too many problems that make the ten major immortal sects feel overwhelmed and frightened. Naturally, they have to sit together to continue discussing what to do next. They don't want the fate of those immortal sects to fall on them, especially the Taiyi gods and demons who have become Taoist soldiers.
That is an absolutely cruel punishment. Taiyi gods and demons are powerful beings who can travel freely in the universe, but such powerful beings can only be reduced to puppets. Just thinking about it makes them feel their scalps tingling and their hearts trembling.
"The reason for not revoking it is very simple," Master Ziyun said calmly, "First, our people did not attack the reincarnation underworld of the Eight Desolate Universe. We only arranged for some meritorious Yin Gods to go to the reincarnation places of other Taiyi-level universes and the reincarnation universe, and they did not do anything out of the ordinary."
"Secondly, even though the Emperor and Empress directly govern the Samsara Underworld, it is only the Samsara Underworld of the Eight Desolate Universe. Even if the Emperor and Empress promote the Yin Gods to the Heavenly Palace, they still have their own organization and sequence. The one who is responsible for all of this is still the King of Hell."
"Third, if we don't cancel it now, no one in Heaven will find out. But if we cancel it, it means we are taking action. If Heaven or King Yama finds out, we will be in a passive position. So we can't move."
Everyone quickly accepted the three reasons given by Master Ziyun, because no one wanted to alarm the Heavenly Court and King Yama. One must know that King Yama has a deep foundation, and behind him is the Emperor of Samsara.
Although the Emperor of Samsara has passed away, he is still the incarnation of the Emperor. In essence, it can be said that King Yama is the disciple of the Emperor Chen Jingzhai, or even his godson. Their relationship is too close, and they cannot offend or disturb him at will.
"So what should we do next?" asked a representative from the Immortal Sect.
"It cannot be revoked, nor can it be moved," Master Ziyun sighed, "We don't have the energy to plan the Samsara Underworld right now. More importantly, King Yama and the Empress have already reached an alliance. They will make changes to the Samsara Underworld, so we have no hope. In other words, we can only take it one step at a time."
Everyone was disappointed and fell silent.
In fact, their purpose of planning reincarnation in the underworld is very simple, that is, they want to live out their second life, use the power of reincarnation to preserve their memory, and then practice steadily in the second life to become immortals and strive for the realm of Daluo.
On the one hand, no one can guarantee that they will not be injured or even die. If the underworld has some ability at that time, they can arrange reincarnation, just like Mei Xianren who reincarnated and came back to make a big splash.
These selfish desires are natural for immortals, but they are also against the rules of heaven and are very risky. In fact, if it weren't for the death of Emperor Samsara, they would not have had such thoughts at all. In the final analysis, they still underestimated King Yama, after all, King Yama has been enlightened for too short a time.
"Everyone, don't be discouraged." Master Ziyun said, "I think this is an opportunity, an opportunity to deal with the Moral Heavenly Immortal. While everyone's attention is on the matter of the reincarnation underworld, let's solve the problem quickly."
"Can't suppress it anymore?" asked a representative of the Immortal Sect in a deep voice.
"It has been suppressed for a long time. If it weren't for the universe, if it weren't for the other immortal sects giving face, this matter would have been publicized long ago." Master Ziyun sighed, "My suggestion is that everyone should prepare early! It is better to cut off one's arm than to lose one's life, and it is not necessarily a bad thing."
"Damn it, why are we so unlucky?" someone cursed in a low voice.
"I have discussed with other immortal sects and there is no problem with the method of destiny and fruition. It is most likely a problem of disaster." Master Ziyun explained calmly, "On the one hand, the Luotian Immortal Sect has produced the Emperor, Empress, and Heavenly Concubine, and they enjoy the blessing of their destiny. In this respect, they are inherently stronger than us."
"On the other hand, Luotian Immortal Sect has the Natural Disaster Demon God. I used to think that the Natural Disaster Demon God was the demon god that would bring disaster, so the five of them disappeared. Now it seems that I was one-sided. They should be able to help Luotian Immortal Sect suppress the disaster and reduce the power of disaster for Luotian Immortal Sect."
"If this is true, then we have been tricked by Luotian Immortal Sect this time!" The representative of Lieyang Immortal Sect said angrily, "If we had known about this secret earlier, we would not have tried to find this method to obtain the fruit of destiny."
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Master Ziyun snorted. "The method of destiny is still very useful. You have all seen the changes in the sect's destiny. We just need to deal with those celestial beings. It's just the right time to transfer the sect's disaster to them. This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone."
"It seems that you already have a plan?" An elder from the immortal sect understood something of what he meant.
"Send them all to a battleship, a mid-sized one." Master Ziyun nodded and said, "If a large battleship is destroyed, the Heavenly Court will hold us responsible, but if it's just a mid-sized battleship, there won't be any problem. Then we can do the same thing and transfer the sect's disaster to the celestial beings. Using the art of substituting a dead person for a dead one, we can let the celestial beings bear the sect's disaster and protect our sect from disaster."
"Of course it's possible to do this," someone frowned, "but firstly, how do we explain the damage to the warship? Secondly, if the news leaks out, will the disciples in the sect be disappointed? These are all problems!"
"The key is, if we do this, will there be any immortals willing to become moral immortals in the future?" Someone continued, "If not, then we will suffer a great loss."
"We should take one step at a time," Master Ziyun shook his head and said, "Besides, we don't need to do anything deliberately. There are dozens or hundreds of moral immortals who are entangled by the aura of disaster. We just need to do a reconnaissance mission. When the disaster breaks out, we don't need to do anything. Problems will naturally arise."
"As for the sect disciples' cold hearts, they will never know the truth. What's more, the truth is that the Moral Immortals were unlucky and encountered an accident during the investigation. It has nothing to do with us. Everything is in accordance with the procedures."
This excuse was not forced at all, but rather very reasonable. Sending them away was reasonable. It was still chilling to hear such words coming from Master Ziyun, but everyone was used to it and thought it was right.
There was no other way. They had to solve this problem as soon as possible. Otherwise, how could the Ten Great Immortal Sects maintain their reputation? In name, they were moral immortals, but in reality, they were lunatics who did all kinds of evil? If this got out, would any immortals be willing to join the Ten Great Immortal Sects? More importantly, their presence would affect morale!
If it were just that, we could at most suppress them and teach them a lesson, but the problem is that they are still involved in the fortune of the sect, so we have to be cautious. They are all Taiyi gods and demons, how could they have so much mercy? We have to take action when necessary.
Heaven, Jade Emperor Palace.
Empress Su Qinghuang had just finished reviewing the memorials and was about to head to the Imperial Garden to rest when Chu Wuxia flew over from a distance, his whole body ablaze with spiritual light. In an instant he appeared beside Su Qinghuang with a smile on his face.
"Have you been to see your father?" Su Qinghuang asked.
"Well," Chu Wuxia said with a faint smile, "He is doing well. He is now a Taiyi God and Demon. He has completely forgotten the past and lives a low-key life without any calculations. I just watched him from a distance and did not go to meet him."
"You should let it go too." Su Qinghuang patted her arm. "He was able to break through to Taiyi, which means that his heart knot was completely untied. Since he let it go, he naturally gained something. On the contrary, you should not bear a grudge. Jingzhai and I have never blamed you."
"I know." Chu Wuxia nodded slightly and asked, "The Samsara Underworld has been cleaned up. What does the Heavenly Court say? Are they really going to elevate the Meritorious Yin God?"
"Some immortal officials opposed it. The reason was that the Emperor once said that the independence of the Samsara Underworld must be guaranteed, and no force or individual should be allowed to influence the operation of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. So the resistance this time is much stronger than before." Su Qinghuang said.
"This is inevitable," Chu Wuxia asked curiously, "What is the result?"
"Of course I won," Su Qinghuang smiled, "Now even the immortal sects dare to plot against the reincarnation underworld. Without the support and help of the heaven, what about the future? Besides, don't we still have the establishment of the nine great Dao masters?"
Su Qinghuang had already thoroughly understood what the Emperor meant. If one wanted to ensure fairness and neutrality and keep the six realms of reincarnation unaffected, it would be better to keep it in the hands of Heaven. Heaven was capable of making such guarantees, it was just a matter of being slightly biased towards Heaven.
She specially set up nine spiritual officials based on the nine great Dao Lords, among which King Yama is the first spiritual official. Simply put, the nine great Dao Lords were appointed by the Heavenly Court to supervise the reincarnation underworld, while the nine spiritual officials were recognized by the Heavenly Court and were the meritorious Yin gods from the reincarnation underworld. Each spiritual official must be at the Taiyi level.
Below the nine great spiritual officials is Yama of the reincarnation underworld of each universe. Starting from Yama, the hierarchy and system of the reincarnation underworld are inherited. Even if there are grand or small court meetings in the future, only the nine great Taoist masters, the nine great spiritual officials, Yama and others will be present. Other meritorious Yin gods and the like are not qualified.
"This is good, at least it won't directly interfere with the Samsara Underworld." Chu Wuxia said, "The key is to strengthen the supervision ability. The Nine Dao Lords are still too bloated. Otherwise, there is no reason for this incident to happen."
"You are right." The Empress nodded, "But the supervision system cannot be rectified overnight. Although there are many immortals, there are still too few who can really take on important tasks. There are also few talented people around the Nine Dao Masters."
Chu Wuxia nodded and followed Su Qinghuang into the phoenix sedan chair and headed for the imperial garden. She was also deeply touched. If she didn't have a good helper like Shen Yurong by her side, she wouldn't have such a relaxing moment today.
What the Judicial Heavenly Army does is to offend people. Chu Wuxia herself is the Heavenly Concubine, so naturally she is not afraid of revenge or the like. However, when there are no talented people around her, Chu Wuxia is stretched to the limit and has to do everything by herself.
Now that she has Shen Yurong's help, her workload has been greatly reduced. Although she has indulged herself a little, Shen Yurong's excellence is there, so she naturally understands what Su Qinghuang said about how rare talents are and how hard it is to fight for them.
As the two were chatting, the phoenix sedan flew directly to the ship. The imperial garden had undergone some changes, and some flower fairies were showing off their magic, which created many more gorgeous scenery near the lake. Unfortunately, the two of them did not understand the situation and did not take a look.
Not long after they sat down on the ship, the empress learned the news that something had happened to the expeditionary force. She glanced at Skynet and found that someone had already spread the relevant news on Skynet, and even she could see it now.
"This?" Chu Wuxia looked at Su Qinghuang in surprise.
"See? This is the method and cruelty of the immortal sects. Everything is done to suit their own interests. If you are not careful, you will disappear and perish." Su Qinghuang said with emotion, "Speaking of which, this time, the ten major immortal sects really acted decisively."
Just now, behind the extremely evil Daluo, the vanguard of the central expeditionary force, a mid-level battleship flew out from the fleet of the ten major immortal sects, on the pretext of conducting reconnaissance around and detecting dangers.
Such missions are commonplace, because with the Evil Daluo's warships leading the way, the entire route is very safe, and the medium-sized warships are scouting the surroundings, actually checking other warships to prevent any accidents.
In essence, it is just a pretend mission. Even though it is just a slacking off, people will still accept going out to do the mission. Even many immortals are willing to rush to go outside to relax. The main reason is that there are too many people on the warship and it is uncomfortable. If it weren't for Skynet, everyone would have gone crazy long ago for such a long time.
Unexpectedly, such a slacking mission would lead to such a big accident. A medium-sized battleship was hit by a meteorite flying across the sky during flight. This was not an ordinary meteorite, but a magical material from the universe that could withstand the storm of time and space without breaking.
If it were an ordinary meteorite, it wouldn't be able to penetrate the battleship's defense. In short, these people are just a bunch of unlucky guys and they are doomed.
