Settling Disputes in the Underworld

As one of the Sanqing, Yuanshi Tianzun acquired many top-tier spiritual treasures in the Zixiao Palace.

The Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag is one of them.

However, the Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag was not valued by Yuanshi, who possessed the treasured Pangu Banner.

When Cihang proposed to end the karmic Karma in this way, Yuanshi, though somewhat reluctant, made a decision very quickly.

He had clearly lost this battle; continuing would only make him look more humiliated.

The Merit Golden Lotus is prepared for the advancement to the Creation Green Lotus, and so are the Five Directions Heaven and Earth Flags.

Cihang accepted the Wutu Apricot Yellow Banner without hesitation.

The Wutu Apricot Yellow Banner directly entered the human race and merged into Cihang's brow, joining the Innate Five Elements Grand Formation the other four and Five Directional Banners chiefs.

The Five Directions Heaven and Earth Flags have finally been gathered!

"Fellow Daoist, the Wutu Apricot Yellow Banner has already been given to you. Shouldn't you stop now?"

Yuanshi spoke up again to remind them.

"That's natural!"

As he spoke, Cihang waved his hand and retrieved the Myriad Immortals Diagram and the Primordial Heaven Measuring Ruler.

The Primordial Heaven Measuring Ruler pierced through the Seven Sha Spirit Severing Sword and struck the Chaos Bell.

"Thump!"

An unprecedented bell rang out, causing the Jieyin spirit to fall into a state of chaos.

At that moment, the Creation Green Lotus shone brightly and devoured the Merit Golden Lotus in one fell swoop.

Jieyin him precisely because of the Merit Golden Lotus, so today he will completely seize that Merit Golden Lotus from him.

"Puff..."

The moment Cihang withdrew the magical treasure, Jieyin suffered a severe blow to his mind, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Cihang..."

Jieyin roared angrily, his gaze towards Cihang filled with resentment and unwillingness, but even more so with fear.

Everything has a price.

The moment you made your move against me, you should have been prepared to fail.

Yuanshi used the Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag to settle this Karma, and you will not be an exception!

Cihang looked at Jieyin with a cold expression.

Having already been targeted, Cihang naturally wouldn't put on a smiling face.

As for whether Jieyin would hold a grudge, Cihang had no doubt whatsoever.

Even if you hold a grudge, so what? As I said before, if you want to take action against him, you have to be prepared to pay the price.

This time we only accepted one magical treasure from him, but next time it won't be so easy to resolve.

"Alright, I've noted what happened today!"

Jieyin knew that it was impossible to take back the Merit Golden Lotus from Cihang.

No matter how much thought or resentment I have, I can only discuss it later.

Jieyin and Yuanshi arrived full of confidence, but returned in a sorry state.

Cihang didn't care about their attitudes at all; his strength was his greatest source of confidence.

However, this struggle is not yet completely over.

With a flash, Cihang returned to the Primordial World.

He did not return to Mount Luojia, but instead appeared in the underworld.

Nuwa and Houtu have already engaged in a fierce battle, and the entire Netherworld, along with the Underworld under the protection of the Heart of Rules, remains stable.

Other regions were already in ruins, with countless souls perishing as a result.

The instability of the Netherworld Underworld indirectly affects the stability of all the heavens and myriad realms.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, they would probably have already been devoured by that terrifying Karma Karmic Debt.

In other words, Nuwa and Houtu both possessed great merit and did not care about these Karmic Debt Karma.

However, if the two continue fighting, it will directly affect the stability of the world.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

Cihang waved his hand and summoned the Chaos Bell. The sound of the bell resounded throughout the Netherworld, suppressing the shattered void around it.

Even the great battle between Houtu and Nuwa was somewhat restrained due to Cihang's intervention.

"Fellow Daoists, please stop. If this fight continues, the Netherworld will be completely destroyed."

Even if you two have accumulated great merit, you cannot afford such a price!

Cihang flashed between the two, and the Creation Green Lotus radiated endless holy light, simultaneously blocking their attacks.

"Fellow Daoist Cihang, this is still a matter of grudges between me and Houtu. I hope you will not interfere!"

Since the Netherworld cannot withstand this battle, let us enter the Chaos and continue the fight.

"Today, the two of us are determined to settle this once and for all!"

Nuwa was not a warlike person, but the Book of Life and Death concerned her future path, so she could not give it up.

"Then let's have a chaotic battle! Do you really think I'd be afraid of you?"

Houtu showed a disdainful expression.

Although she is the ruler of the underworld, she inevitably has to spare some attention to protect this realm when fighting in the Netherworld.

If she hadn't diverted a small portion of her attention, the Netherworld might not have been able to hold out until now.

Entering the Chaos War was exactly what she wanted.

"The two fellow Daoists are evenly matched in strength, so how can a victory or defeat be determined in a short time?"

What are your demands and objectives? Why don't we discuss them properly?

The battle between the two had already affected the operation of the Netherworld Reincarnation, Cihang clearly did not want them to continue fighting.

"Fellow Daoist Cihang, it is not that I intend to contend with Houtu."

"That Book of Life and Death concerns my future path, and I can never give it up under any circumstances!"

Nuwa also seemed somewhat helpless.

She was determined to obtain the Book of Life and Death, but she was also well aware of its importance to the Book of Life and Death.

Her battle with Houtu was simply unavoidable.

Houtu did not provoke Nuwa further, but instead left everything to Cihang to handle.

She believed that Cihang would not let her suffer.

"Fellow Daoist's actions have indeed put us in a difficult position."

The Book of Life and Death concerns the reincarnation of all beings, and it is impossible for the order of reincarnation to be disrupted because of a fellow Daoist's personal selfishness.

"The Karmic Debt Karma he bears are perhaps too much for you to handle, fellow Daoist!"

Cihang sighed and explained to Nuwa.

The Book of Life and Death does indeed contain the destiny of Human Dao, but even if Nuwa obtained it, it would be more of a curse than a blessing.

The three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man are mutually reinforcing and restraining, and their powers overlap considerably.

"Does this mean I'll never have another chance?"

Cihang's words caused Nuwa's expression to change.

She knew that Cihang had not lied to her.

Even if she were to obtain the Book of Life and Death, she would likely suffer a backlash from the will of the underworld before she could even comprehend it.

"There is more than one way to awaken Human Dao."

Fellow Daoist Nuwa, perhaps you could try a different path!

Although Cihang did not want to have any further karmic Karma with Nuwa, she also did not want the prehistoric Primordial World to be disrupted by the conflict between Nuwa and Houtu.

Beyond the Netherworld, the battle Witch and Demon Clans continues, already resulting in the deaths of many beings.

"Try another approach? Are there really other options?"

Please teach me, fellow Daoist! Nuwa will be eternally grateful!

Nuwa concealed her aura and looked expectantly at Cihang.

Cihang still trusted Nuwa very much; the key point was that she didn't have the chance to take the Book of Life and Death from Houtu.

"Although the Six Paths of Reincarnation are primarily based on the earthly path, they still pay attention to the fundamental nature of all beings."

The Book of Life and Death must not be touched without permission, but fellow Daoists can transform themselves and enter the Underworld to assist in the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Although it's not as direct as directly controlling the Book of Life and Death, it's gradually taking control of the fortunes and foundations of all living beings!

As she spoke, Cihang's gaze also turned towards the depths of reincarnation.

"The underworld, reincarnation? I see. Thank you for your guidance, fellow Daoist!"

Nuwa bowed in gratitude to Cihang, then looked at Houtu.

"Houtu Daoist Houtu, Nuwa wishes to transform into Meng Po in the Underworld to help living beings erase their past memories and successfully become Quasi-Saints. I hope you will grant my request!"

"Fellow Daoist's actions can be considered a voluntary act of entering the cycle of reincarnation in the underworld, Houtu will naturally not refuse!"

Houtu agreed to Nuwa's request without much consideration.

Nuwa didn't want to continue fighting with Houtu, and Houtu felt the same way.
