Perhaps this time, Sun Wukong will face a truly hellish start.
If Sun Wukong wanted to wreak havoc in the Hall of Yama, he would probably be beaten up by any random Underworld soldier.
However, it's hard to say whether there will still be a so-called Journey to the West Calamity by then.
Even if they did, the Witch Race wouldn't play along with those two Delia from the West.
Of course, if the benefits are substantial enough, it's not impossible to negotiate.
Within the Blood Sea, the Underworld was being built in full swing.
Now that Hongjun has merged with the Dao, the seventeen Hunyuan Celestial Venerable have also finished their sermons.
Logically speaking, such a massive construction project in the Underworld would surely attract the attention of some Hunyuan Celestial Venerable).
But the truth is the opposite; not a single Hunyuan Celestial Venerable noticed the Underworld.
Because after the Hunyuan Celestial Venerable received merit, they sensed that the Heavenly Dao was about to awaken.
One by one, they entered seclusion to digest the Destiny/Luck they had gained in order to break through to a higher realm.
After all, once the Heavenly Dao awakens, these Hunyuan Celestial Venerable will be the first to face Heavenly Dao.
Therefore, the Underworld could be built peacefully without attracting the attention of the Hunyuan Celestial Venerable.
As for the Heavenly Court and the Immortal Court, they were both busy with their own affairs and were even used to collect spiritual materials for the construction of the Underworld.
Naturally, they didn't have the energy to focus on the construction of the Underworld.
Preparing for the second Immortal-Demon War is their most urgent task.
As for the rogue cultivators of the Primordial Wilderness, how could they dare to disturb the god of death, the Styx?
Many beings cannot even reach the Blood Sea, let alone concern themselves with the construction of the Underworld.
In a certain region of the Primordial Wilderness world, a being with an air of otherworldly grace led a group of disciples to search for spiritual materials.
Among his disciples was one who was born with Six-Eared.
This ethereal and otherworldly being was none other than Taiqing.
Now that Hongjun has merged with the Dao, and the Heavenly Dao has not yet awakened, the Sanqing Ones need not fear Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao.
The Sanqing separated, each leading their Daoism disciples to collect spiritual materials for the construction of the Underworld.
As planned, Taiqing and his group took over Daoism, with the Sanqing each becoming vice-leaders of Daoism.
Taiqing accepted Six-Eared disciple, Yuqing Yuanshi accepted Guangchengzi, Shangqing Lingbao accepted Duobao.
As for the other disciples, they were outer disciples.
This time, Taiqing didn't want to be like the original Taiqing, who only accepted Xuandu as a personal disciple.
Even those who are nominal disciples are extremely rare.
The original Taiqing failed to fulfill its responsibility of educating and guiding people.
Taiqing's ideas are completely different now. He wants to accept both personal disciples and nominal disciples, and he especially wants to accept those with outstanding talent.
It wasn't that Taiqing wanted to burden himself with teaching disciples; rather, he had his own plans.
Moreover, those disciples he didn't accept were taken in by other beings.
They might even be plotted against by Heavenly Dao and used against the Sanqing Twelve Ancestral Witches.
In that case, it would be better to take Taiqing and the others under their wing and teach them properly.
With more disciples and followers, powerful figures emerge who can help them with many things.
Leading the Primordial Wilderness beings and helping them solve the problem of Primordial Wilderness Innate Spiritual Qi would be a great thing.
On this day, Taiqing led his disciples to a sacred mountain.
Although this sacred mountain Buzhou Mountain, nor as majestic and sprawling as Kunlun Mountain.
However, its profound Daoist essence is incredibly powerful, no less than that of Buzhou Mountain and Kunlun Mountain.
Even compared to Mount Sumeru before it was interrupted, this immortal mountain possesses a much stronger Daoist essence.
The main peak of the entire immortal mountain far exceeds the scope of hundreds of Great Thousand World, and the life-giving energy of Lesser Yang is extremely abundant within it.
The entire immortal mountain is teeming with life. Compared to other places in the Primordial Wilderness, this immortal mountain is far richer in spiritual herbs, plants, and roots.
Even the density of creatures and auspicious beasts on the immortal mountain far exceeds that of other places in the Primordial Wilderness world.
Within this sacred mountain, Taiqing also sensed a rich Geng Metal Qi and Kun primordial jade marrow.
Moreover, Taiqing also sensed an extremely strong calling within this mountain.
At the main location of the immortal mountain, there is also an extremely powerful Innate Shaoyang Taiji Life-Death Great Formation protecting it.
"Could this mountain be some kind of fairy mountain?"
Feeling the strong call within his heart and seeing the extremely obvious features of the immortal mountain, Taiqing had a guess in his mind.
This sacred mountain is very likely Shouyang Mountain!
The burgeoning energy of Lesser Yang, the Geng Metal Qi, and the energy of Kun primordial jade marrow are all characteristics of Shouyang Mountain.
Moreover, the Daoist essence of this sacred mountain is comparable to that of Kunlun Mountain.
At this moment, he also sensed the opportunity within the immortal mountain.
"Six-Eared, you and your junior brothers and sisters should collect spiritual materials carefully. I will be right back."
After making arrangements for Six-Eared, leaving behind life-saving talismans and other means, Taiqing quickly headed towards the place where the main body of the immortal mountain was emanating its summons.
As Taiqing drew closer to the main peak of the immortal mountain, the call emanating from that peak grew ever stronger.
Soon, Taiqing arrived at the Innate Great Formation that guarded this immortal mountain.
Before Taiqing could find a way to break the Innate Great Formation, the Innate Great Formation itself revealed an opening.
It was as if they were welcoming the arrival of Taiqing.
This reminded Taiqing of the time on Buzhou Mountain when he was being chased by the Old Ancestor Wuxing and then encountered the Jade Marrow Land of Pangu, the Father God Marrow.
That Innate Great Formation also behaved in the same way that time.
Without hesitation, Taiqing stepped directly into the Innate Great Formation.
As soon as he entered the Innate Great Formation, a message entered Taiqing's mind.
Taiqing then learned that this Innate Great Formation was called the Innate Shaoyang Taiji Life-Death Great Formation.
And the mountain peak before them was indeed Shouyang Mountain, as Taiqing had guessed.
Upon entering the Innate Great Formation, one can see nine towering peaks, imbued with profound Daoist energy, piercing the Yun Xiao.
Above the nine mountain peaks, the Initial Yang, the Lesser Yang, the Old Yang, the Blazing Sun, the scorching Fierce Sun, the Vast Yang, the Supreme Yang, the sun, and the Pure Yang emanate their respective energies.
The mountain peak radiating Lesser Yang is located in the center and is the highest.
The remaining eight peaks surround and protect the highest peak, Lesser Yang Mountain.
The nine peaks together form Shouyang Mountain is no less impressive than the Kunlun Mountain.
Atop the nine mountain peaks, palaces, pavilions, and towers stand in splendor, with the palaces on Lesser Yang Mountain being the most magnificent and spectacular.
The extremely strong sense of inspiration that Taiqing felt came from the highest mountain peak radiating the Lesser Yang energy.
Taiqing could vaguely see a large seal floating atop the mountain peak radiating the energy of Lesser Yang.
Taiqing looked at the large seal with some excitement, already having a guess in his mind.
In a short while, Taiqing entered the mountain peak that was radiating the energy of Lesser Yang.
The large, suspended seal was clearly visible to Taiqing.
On that large seal, nine lifelike dragon patterns coiled around the top of the seal.
An extremely strong aura of Human Dao emanated from the great seal.
Two large characters in divine script are engraved on the bottom of the seal.
Upon seeing the two large, divine characters, Taiqing couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
"It really is the Kongtong Seal!"
The two large divine characters engraved on the bottom of the seal are none other than -- Kongtong!
With a wave of his hand, Taiqing caused the Kongtong Seal to automatically shrink and fly into Taiqing hand.
"That Old Thief Hongjun didn't take the Kongtong Seal? That shouldn't be the case."
Originally, it was only after the three lectures at the Purple Heavens Palace that the Old Thief Hongjun gave me the Kongtong Seal.
No wonder I felt that the Innate Shaoyang Taiji Life-Death Great Formation hadn't been touched just now.
