Chapter 153 Heaven and Earth Merge, Divide and Rule (Subscribe)
Empress Pingxin raised her brows slightly, with a hint of surprise in her eyes, and a hint of inquiry in her voice: "Heaven and earth merge, what is the meaning of this statement?"
Yang Ling looked at Empress Pingxin and said in a clear and determined voice: "The so-called merging of heaven and earth means the merging of heaven and earth.
Break the boundaries between heaven and hell and let the two realms flow unimpeded.
In this way, there are many benefits.

First of all, the witch tribesmen in the underworld are no longer limited to the land of the netherworld. They can freely enter and leave the heaven, enjoy the treatment of gods and the incense offerings in the world.
At the same time, the immortals and gods in heaven can also descend to the underworld to help with the management of the underworld, making the six paths of reincarnation more fair and orderly. "
He paused and continued to add: "Secondly, after the merger of heaven and earth, the laws and regulations of heaven can also be introduced into the underworld to ensure that the Yin difference can perform their duties and make the six paths of reincarnation more fair and orderly."
Empress Pingxin pondered for a moment, a searching light flashed in her eyes, and she slowly spoke: "Your proposal is certainly reasonable, but this matter cannot be decided by the underworld. Whether the Emperor of Heaven can agree is the key.
Do you think the Emperor of Heaven will agree to this? "
Yang Ling smiled secretly in his heart. He knew that God Haotian had always had the ambition to expand the heaven. If this could be accomplished, it would be a great benefit to the heaven.
If God Haotian knew about this proposal, I'm afraid he would be so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
Just by giving out some immortal priesthoods and incense, you can get the entire underworld to be integrated into the heavenly system. This deal shouldn't be too cost-effective!
However, Yang Ling kept a calm expression on his face and replied calmly: "Uncle, please rest assured, I have some friendships with many immortals and gods in heaven, and the relationship is quite good.
If this matter can really benefit the three realms, I am willing to personally come forward to make peace with the Emperor of Heaven as a disciple of the Human Cult. I believe that His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven will carefully consider my proposal. "
After hearing this, Empress Pingxin took a deep look at Yang Ling. Her eyes seemed to be filled with inquiry and unnoticeable expectation.
Heaven belongs to the heaven, while the underworld is governed by the earth. If the underworld can really merge with the heaven, it will indeed gain a lot of benefits.
The most important thing is that the Wu clan has a chance to see the light of day again!
But after joining the heaven, is the underworld still her underworld?
There was a hint of hesitation on Empress Pingxin's face, her eyes were deep, as if she was weighing the pros and cons of this proposal.
After a moment, she spoke slowly: "This is a big matter, no small matter. Heaven and Earth have performed their respective duties since ancient times, and the division of labor is clear.
Although my nephew's proposal is unique, it involves many issues and requires caution. "
Seeing the hesitation on Empress Pingxin's face, Yang Ling slowly said, "Uncle Master, what I mentioned is only a macro concept at the moment.
If we really want to implement the merger, it will inevitably involve countless details that require both heaven and hell to sit down and discuss slowly.
However, before that, I think there is a basic principle that both heaven and hell must abide by, and it is also the basis for the merger.
This principle is ‘converging, dividing and conquering’. "
Empress Pingxin raised her eyebrows slightly, signaling Yang Ling to continue.
"Although Heaven and Earth are merged, they should maintain their respective independence in governance. Hell nominally belongs to Heaven, but in fact it is still operated independently by Hell without interference from Heaven.
This can not only ensure the authority of heaven, but also ensure the autonomy of the underworld.
The same is true for the underworld and heaven. Both parties only provide help and obligations, and do not directly interfere in management. "
Yang Ling paused and saw that Queen Pingxin still had doubts on her face, so she continued to add: "The management of the Underworld is naturally based on you, the Queen, and Heaven will not interfere in the internal affairs of the Underworld.
However, when dealing with the outside world, heaven and earth need to coordinate to show the unity and harmony of the three realms. "
After hearing this, the hesitation on Empress Pingxin's face gradually dissipated, replaced by a relieved smile.
She knew that if, as Yang Ling said, the underworld belonged to heaven in name but remained independent in fact, then her biggest worry would no longer exist.
However, she did not agree directly. Instead, she waved her hand slowly and said calmly: "My nephew's proposal is very promising, but this matter is related to the future of the entire underworld, so I need to think it over carefully.
Why don't we make a decision after you finish exploring the secret realm of Huangquan? "
Yang Ling was not in a hurry after hearing this.
Just as Empress Pingxin said, this is a big matter and needs to be considered carefully.
"What the master uncle said is true. If there are no other instructions, the disciple will retreat now."
Empress Pingxin nodded, "Thank you, my nephew."
"It's just a little effort."
Yang Ling said politely and then retreated slowly.
As soon as his figure disappeared outside the door of the hall, a figure appeared in the hall quietly like a ghost.
She was at least nine feet tall, with slender limbs and perfect proportions. She was dressed in a black battle suit, the hem of which swayed gently with her movements, as if the evil spirit in the night was condensed.
Especially those eyes, which are extremely sharp. The whole person looks heroic, but also lingering with evil aura, like an unsheathed sword, ready to cut off all obstacles in front of him at any time.
Empress Pingxin looked at the woman who suddenly appeared without any surprise, and said gently: "Jiu Feng, what do you think of that person's proposal to teach disciples just now?"
Jiu Feng smiled slightly, with a bit of disdain and ridicule in the smile: "Empress, this man's proposal to teach disciples sounds tempting, and he seems to have no selfish motives, but he is actually the brother-in-law of the Emperor of Heaven, so he naturally speaks to the heaven. !
Speaking of which, he is actually no different from Ksitigarbha in the Western religion. They are all the same.
They just want to get a foothold in the underworld and use your six realms of reincarnation to seek benefits. "
Hearing this, Empress Pingxin frowned slightly. She knew that Jiufeng had always been outspoken, but sometimes she was too arbitrary.
She sighed softly: "There is a saying in the world, 'You can't afford to be early without profit'. Who in this world can be truly selfless?"
Jiufeng looked directly at Empress Pingxin and said sternly: "Empress, you sacrificed your life to reincarnate and open up the six paths for the sentient beings in the three realms. Isn't this considered selfless?"
"I also have selfish motives." Empress Pingxin shook her head and said calmly: "Otherwise, why could your family come to the underworld?"
Jiufeng was stunned for a moment, and said with some excitement: "You are here to protect us, how can it be selfish!"
Empress Pingxin said calmly: "All the ancestral witches have fallen, and I want to protect the remaining witch clansmen... This idea has always been rooted in my heart and has become an obsession. This is selfishness."
Jiufeng was speechless and didn't know what to say.
Empress Pingxin said calmly: "You think Ksitigarbha and Yang Ling are all doing it for their own interests, but this is not a fault.
As long as their actions can benefit the underworld and countless sentient beings in the three realms and six realms, it is considered a good deed. "
Jiufeng snorted coldly, and the evil spirit filled his eyes: "My dear, you think of them too well! They are not for the countless sentient beings in the three realms and six realms. They just want to annex the underworld, occupy the six realms of reincarnation, and make us their vassals. That’s all!”
After hearing this, Empress Pingxin was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "The Western religion may indeed have this intention. He proposed to build eighteen levels of hell to punish the souls of evildoers, but also extradite the good souls to the Western Pure Land of Paradise.
If you agree, part of the power of the underworld will be stolen by Western religions!
On the other hand, Yang Ling's initiative to propose that Heaven and Hell merge and rule separately is indeed a feasible method. "
"That's just nice to say." Jiufeng shook his head and said: "Even if you agree now, Heaven will try its best to control the underworld in the future and make the underworld become a vassal of the heaven.
Heavenly Court and the Western Sect are both powerful powers in the Three Realms, and every move they make cannot be just out of good intentions.
If we trust them gullibly, we may fall into the trap. "
Empress Pingxin was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "I will take it to heart. However, if the merger and division can be truly realized, it will indeed be an opportunity for the underworld."
Jiufeng sighed slightly. She knew that Empress Pingxin had been shaken, but she still insisted on her opinion: "Empress, opportunities and risks often coexist, we must be more cautious.
If Heavenly Court really wants to cooperate, they must come up with something substantial, not just empty talk. "
Empress Pingxin nodded slightly, "What you said makes sense, I will consider it more."
Jiufeng's eyes flickered, and he suggested eagerly: "How about I follow him secretly and test it out?"
"Don't mess around!"
Empress Pingxin's face darkened and she said seriously: "If the Witch Clan still wants to have a place in the Three Realms, they must first learn to be kind to others!"
Seeing that the always gentle empress was so stern, Jiufeng quickly knelt down on one knee, bowed his head respectfully and said: "Don't worry, empress, I understand!"
Empress Pingxin's face softened and she sighed softly: "I hope you really understand."
Jiu Feng said in a deep voice: "I will go back to restrain the clan members later and strictly order them to be kind to others and not to bully foreign immortals anymore..."
"It's not enough!" Empress Pingxin said sternly: "I know that the Wu clan was born with a fierce and vicious spirit. It is impulsive and irritable, and it is the nature of being brave and ruthless that is engraved in the bones. In the ancient barbaric era, you could run rampant, but If we continue to act like this in this day and age, we are not far away from annihilation. "
Jiu Feng was surprised. He didn't expect that Empress Pingxin would speak so seriously.
However, she also knew that the Witch Clan could continue to this day only because of the blessing of Empress Pingxin, who allowed them to hide in the Netherworld.
Empress Pingxin will never harm them!
"Thank you for being vigilant, my disciple, I understand!"
…
Yang Ling stepped out of the peaceful and bright Pingxin Palace and merged into the darkness and treacherousness again.
Meng Xiang was waiting for him outside. Seeing him come out, she didn't ask any questions and directly suggested: "The secret realm of Huangquan has not been opened yet. Why don't you go to Fengdu City to rest first?
I can bring Xian to experience the food and wine of our Wu tribe. "
"Let's talk about it next time." Yang Ling shook his head and said sternly: "I want to go to the 18th layer of Youtu to take a look. I heard that it is the place where the Hongyun ancestor fell. Maybe I can find out some information about the Hongmeng Purple Qi. clues.”
When Meng Xiang heard this, there was an expression on her face that she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, as if to say: Do you really think you can find Hongmeng Purple Qi?
But she finally swallowed this idea back in her stomach, nodded and said: "Shangxian can go wherever he wants, let's set off now!"
The two of them were still riding an auspicious cloud as before, walking along the Wangchuan River.
The dark red river flows endlessly, with jagged rocks and no grass growing on the river bank. Occasionally, a few red flowers on the other side of the river sway in the wind, exuding a faint fragrance.
In the end, none of these Bianhua flowers could escape Meng Xiang's poisonous claws, and they were all scooped up, keeping the ingredients for Wangyou soup.
She collected herbs along the way, while Yang Ling carefully observed the landforms on the river bank, trying to find the terrain that had appeared in the memory fragments of ancestor Hongyun.
The landforms on both sides of the Wangchuan River are ever-changing. Sometimes they are desolate river beaches, sometimes they are towering ancient trees, or they are deep canyons.
Yang Ling observed carefully along the way, but unfortunately he didn't find any useful clues.
A few days later, they passed through patches of dark forest and finally arrived at the eighteenth layer of secluded earth.
There is an indescribable heaviness in the air here, and the ground is devastated, with traces of battle everywhere——
Huge claw marks are deeply carved into the hard ground, as if a mythical beast had once spread its domineering territory here; the rift valleys are crisscrossed, like a rushing river, washing out bottomless scars; and those densely packed The craters are so big that people dare not look directly at them.
Meng Xiang followed him and said softly: "This is the place where the three quasi-sage masters fought in the past, and these traces are still clearly visible to this day!"
With a hint of awe in her voice, she continued: "Many gods and gods who came to hunt for treasures before accidentally entered this ancient battlefield and were directly wiped to ashes by the remaining laws of the great avenue.
And the Underworld Secret Realm is the center of the battlefield. Every time it is opened, many immortals and gods are buried in it and never come out again. "
Listening to Meng Xiang's introduction, Yang Ling couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
He had seen a lot of quasi-sage powerful men, but this was his first time coming into contact with the battlefield left behind by quasi-sage fighting.
From ancient times to the present, no matter how many Yuanhui have passed, the remaining Tao principles can actually destroy gods and immortals!
It’s really scary!
It seems that I have to be a little more polite to that uncle in the future.
