Chapter 812 Heaven Returns to Its Rightful Place, the Underworld Revives
In a few words, the whole story was sorted out.
Yu Chen finally understood.
It turned out that the burial palace on the Tianzangyuan was not invaded by some madmen, but was accidentally broken by Shitou when he knocked on the door...
"Master! I was wrong! I was careless, it's all my fault, master, please beat me..." Shitou's face turned red, sad and self-blaming, and he knelt on the ground with a plop.
Yu Chen waved his hand, raised his hand, and performed the magical power of returning wind and returning fire.
Just seeing a halo of breath light up above the burial palace, the broken eaves and broken walls instantly seemed to have experienced time travel, and turned from the vast ruins into a towering palace again.
——Although the burial palace in the Tianzangyuan is majestic, it is actually made of ordinary stones. It is not difficult to restore them to their state before they were destroyed by the art of returning wind and returning fire.
"Shitou, it's okay, don't be sad, don't you see it's fine now?" Yu Chen patted the big guy on the shoulder.
The latter looked at the scene that seemed like time was going backwards, and was surprised, happy, and relieved.
But Yu Chen's face was confused.
Through the contact with the stone just now, he realized that the stone, which was originally in the Tongtian realm, had now broken through the Tianzun realm.
Or in other words, it was not a breakthrough - because they were Yin gods, and the system of cultivation could not be defined by the Tongtian Dao. But the might and divine power were equivalent to the great existence of the Tianzun realm.
So their original paper bodies could no longer withstand such divine power, and cracks appeared.
Of course, this was not a big deal. Yu Chen's current Taoism was enough to make a paper body that could accommodate their divine power, and it didn't take much effort.
The real problem was that Yu Chen couldn't figure out what the reason was that Li Yuanqing and the stone had inexplicably broken through a large part, comparable to the Tianzun of the eighth realm?
He carefully examined the souls of the two inch by inch, but did not find any abnormalities or problems.
On the contrary, their two evil spirits... were extremely strong and full of vitality, just like taking drugs.
For a moment, he couldn't find a reason.
Confused, Yu Chen simply took the two people to the underworld first, and wanted to let them out after they were familiar with this power.
—— Otherwise, Li Yuanqing was fine, he had a meticulous control of power, but a guy like Shitou who was careless, he might accidentally sneeze and destroy the entire Tianzangyuan...
But just as Yu Chen opened the door of the underworld and stepped inside.
His face suddenly changed!
And he actually retreated again and looked at the towering and ancient terrifying Ghost Gate.
——That's right!
This is the Ghost Gate of the underworld!
But... why did he suddenly not recognize the world inside?
Yu Chen exhaled a long breath of turbid air, stepped into the underworld again, and stepped into the vast void of the underworld.
His eyes were like hawks, looking around.
However, the sky of Hades, which was originally pitch black and full of dense cracks, like a broken mirror, now looks like an endless obsidian jade, hanging high in the sky - dark, deep, giving people a sense of mystery, greatness, and nobility.
And the originally uneven and bumpy Wojiao Yang, now seems to have become round and full, and the dark red blazing light from the sky shines on the earth.
Following the light of the Wojiao Yang, the once barren and dry Emperor of the Underworld has also turned into a fertile dark blue color at this moment. Although it is still gloomy, it is brand new.
Bright red mandrakes bloom in the soil, and under the flying black butterflies, dots of nether light are sprinkled, exuding a different kind of vitality.
In addition, more dark vegetation also flourished from the dark green vegetation, emitting faint fluorescence, illuminating the entire underworld together with the Wojiao sun in the sky!
And among the flowers and plants, countless strange creatures were born - translucent ghosts shuttled and danced; dark and furry spherical creatures had a pair of watery black eyes, jumping up and down, making a humming sound; snakes like blue jade swayed in the air, beautiful; and countless blue light spots like fireflies were spread all over the underworld...
It actually presented a sense of... vitality!
And the broken and dilapidated underworld palaces and pavilions, at this moment, seemed to be recast by an inexplicable divine power, becoming tall and majestic, emitting infinite and huge pressure!
As well as the Naihe Bridge, the Mirror Platform, the Gate of Hell, and the Ghost City of Fengdu above the Yellow Springs... These ancient buildings were originally dilapidated, old, and full of the mottled atmosphere of time.
But now, they have all been repaired and show their magnificent power!
Not only that, the Eighteen Hells are even larger and more majestic.
And the Six Paths of Reincarnation God Wheel in the sky, all the cracks have disappeared.
...
Its infinite and wonderful changes directly make the dilapidated, ruin-like underworld look brand new and full of vitality!
Yu Chen doesn't understand where these changes come from and why they arise.
But now he stretches out in the vast underworld, only to feel that the sky and the ground, the entire underworld... has come alive.
Or... this is what the underworld should look like.
In addition to these most obvious changes, Yu Chen looked down and only saw the Fengdu Ghost City, the Ghost Palace of the Underworld, the Eighteen Hells... Those ghost officials with divine duties, whether they were ghost officials or judges, all looked like they had been reborn with flesh and blood. From the beginning of dryness and decay, they regained infinite vitality, and in contrast, their auras also soared!
——Like Shitou and Li Yuanqing, these gods of the underworld also received unexplained enhancements!
Even the "civil servants" such as Wensheng Old Man, Lu Dun, and Zhao Weixian have a breath comparable to Tongtian Perfection!
And the "military servants" such as Zheng Yuan and Yang Wei are even comparable to the realm of Tianzun, just like Shitou and Li Yuanqing, who are gods wandering day and night!
At the same time, they have a mysterious and protective black and red light on their bodies, surrounded by the vast Yin and Ming aura, condensed into a dark golden vast cloud of celebration above their heads, majestic and solemn! In addition, pale divine rings were also taking shape in the void behind their heads!
This is not over yet!
Yu Chen even felt that the power of these underworld gods was still slowly rising - no need to practice, no need to understand the truth, just as if they had regained the power that belonged to them.
The infinite magical changes made Yu Chen feel surprised and happy!
But... I still couldn't figure out why the underworld was truly revived.
He fell to the ground while thinking.
He walked slowly along the Yellow Spring River, which was full of mandragora flowers.
Several jade-like snakes about ten feet long swam around him, cheering and rejoicing as if they were worshiping.
Wherever he stepped, countless translucent ghosts knelt on the ground, as if welcoming the gods.
The bright red mandragora bloomed and came towards him, as if he was the sun emitting light and heat.
The flowers were in full bloom, and all kinds of creatures bowed down.
Unconsciously, he came to the Yellow Spring River and the Naihe Bridge.
In the rolling turbid Yellow Spring water, countless fishes shuttled and cruised. Amid the surging waves, a black-sailed boat came in the vast fog. The girl, who looked like a girl in her teens, was still white-faced. She was dressed in black and walked down barefoot to bow to Yu Chen.
——She was the first underworld god that Yu Chen had met. Unlike Yu Youyu and Shitou, who were canonized later, she was the god of the underworld who had survived from an ancient era, the true body of Yellow Spring.
It was a pity that this girl did not seem to care about anything other than the rolling Yellow Spring from ancient times to the present, so when Yu Chen asked her about the past of the Three Realms several times, she said she did not know.
She stepped barefoot in the mandala flowers and came to Yu Chen. On her small body, seven or eight fist-sized, black, furry, spherical creatures with big watery eyes jumped and played.
Although the little girl's face was still expressionless, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
Obviously, she liked these furry little creatures very much.
Yu Chen saw it, but did not expose it. He patted her head and asked, "Huang Quan, do you know what happened in the underworld these days?"
The little girl raised her hand covered in long sleeves and pointed to the sky, "Heavenly Dao... is back..."
Heavenly Dao?
Yu Chen was stunned when he heard it and looked up.
At that moment, his eyes passed through the dark jade sky and saw the universe.
Behind the sky, there was chaos and silence.
But in this chaos, a broken three-piece pale spine was hanging high above.
It was old, rough, grayish white and yellowish, but the bones were engraved with countless complex and dense lines.
At this moment, those complex lines extend from the spine like silk threads, like complex tree roots, rooted in every void in the underworld.
Those lines and silk threads, like a pulse, light and dark, and so on.
And with the pulsation of the "pulse", a huge stream of divine power, vitality and strength are transported to the entire underworld.
——It is this terrifying divine power that makes the sky bright, the earth fertile, the flowers bloom, countless underworld creatures reborn, and many underworld officials soar in Taoism!
At this moment, Yu Chen suddenly realized!
All the changes came from the broken spine that his previous self sent across time and space countless thousands of years ago.
He did not disappear from Yu Chen's divine vine inner scene.
Instead, he came to the underworld following the connection between Yu Chen and the underworld.
Or, he returned to the underworld.
Then, like an endless huge source, it slowly revived the long-rotten and dry Hades!
It was because of its existence that the power of the underworld officials such as Shitou skyrocketed!
Not only that, it also continued to nourish the entire underworld without stopping!
And from the mouth of the ancient god Huangquan, he learned its name.
——Heavenly Dao.
