Lifespan Is Heaven-Appointed, Oxhead Yin Deity!

In a daze.

Everything in the world turned into Chaos.

Ding Yu could not sense his own existence.

He tried to open his eyes to look, but could not see any color.

I tried to listen, but could not hear anything.

I wanted to sniff it, but I couldn't smell the fragrance.

The tongue is moving, but the taste is not right.

It is nowhere to be found, and cannot be perceived.

When one's mind is clouded, one cannot know the Dharma.

They were trapped in a state of confusion and helplessness, unable to extricate themselves or save themselves.

It seems destined to sink into eternal damnation.

"I will use the 'Six Roots Purification Method' to seal your six senses. During this period, you will temporarily sever and transcend the cycle of Life and Death, thus preserving your life. Before your injuries have fully healed, you must not use your magical Law Power. Remember this."

Within the Chaos, a profound and silent sound resonated, deafeningly clear. The familiar voice calmed Ding Yu's restless and terrified heart. His Law Power subsided, remaining undisturbed.

In the bamboo forest.

Lu Qingfeng held the Pure Bamboo Staff and gently tapped the white-haired old man's head three times. Seeing that the old man was about to resist, Lu Qingfeng 'Law Power surged, and he spoke, causing the old man to fall silent.

"We met once years ago, and it is rare that you would listen to my teachings."

Lu Qingfeng smiled.

This white-haired old man was none other than Ding Yu, the first person he had ever tested the ' Golden Silkworm Fate-Reversal Great Method in the Five Directions Realm. He was also Ding Yu's first disciple whom he had taken under his wing in the Five Directions Realm.

Apart from him.

His second disciple Zheng Chi and third disciple Gu Shaoshang also had their fates changed by him.

However, Gu Shaoshang was unlucky in his fate. He entered the Immortal Dao immortality because of Lu Qingfeng, but also suffered a misfortune because of the Nine Palaces Star Compass. He was killed by the True Person Six Paths of Heshan Way, and his soul was refined into Law Artifact.

The Blood Sea Calamity wiped out all living beings in the Five Directions Realm.

Eighty-nine thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.

I thought the remaining two disciples had already perished in the great calamity.

Who would have thought that upon returning today, I would see my former disciples again. Not only did both disciples survive the tribulations, but one became the South Sea Alliance and the other became the Longevity Alliance Leader. Both of them are now leaders in the righteous and evil paths, and both have reached the peak of the Mahayana True Immortal realm.

It is truly difficult to predict the vicissitudes of fate.

In.

The first disciple Ding Yu, had attempted to break through to the Earth Immortal realm multiple times, but unfortunately, his methods were flawed and his foundation was damaged, preventing him from making a breakthrough each time and ultimately causing him to suffer injuries during his cultivation.

If he hadn't arrived in time, this eldest disciple would have perished in front of the Longevity Gate.

"We survived the Blood Sea Calamity, a calamity that claimed the lives of hundreds of millions of Spirit Birth."

"With this certificate, one can attain the Earth Immortal Dao Fruit!"

Lu Qingfeng, gripping his Pure Bamboo Staff, sat cross-legged on the ground. He opened his mouth and spoke into the void, seemingly addressing someone. But then, a deep, unfathomable vortex appeared in the void, within which emerged a fierce god with a bull's head and a human body, its hooves as strong as bulls, wielding an iron hairpin, its feet planted on the dark vortex, glaring angrily at Lu Qingfeng—

"Wuna Tongzi".

"This person's lifespan has come to an end; he should enter the Netherworld Court and Six Paths of Reincarnation. How dare you defy the will of Heaven?!"

The fierce god roared, his voice booming, causing Lu Qingfeng's mind to tremble and his Law Power to surge.

"What a magnificent Oxhead Yin Deity!"

Upon seeing the fierce-looking deity, Lu Qingfeng immediately knew its origins.

Legend has it that in the Netherworld Court, there are ox-headed and Netherworld- faced deities, who are the messengers of the Netherworld who collect souls. Ding Yu, having failed to become Earth Immortal, should have reached the end of his lifespan. However, Lu Qingfeng forcibly preserved his life using the 'Six Roots Purification Method,' allowing him to remain in the mortal realm.

That would be defying the predetermined fate of Life and Death.

Unexpected.

This attracted the Oxhead Yin Deity.

Judging from the immense Law Power of this deity, who must have cultivated for countless years, he was far beyond Lu Qingfeng's reach. In just a brief encounter, he nearly shattered Lu Qingfeng's physical body.

Without saying another word.

He suddenly attacked with a steel fork.

Whoosh!

A fierce wind howled, and an immense force enveloped everything.

Lu Qingfeng dared not hesitate and quickly gripped his Pure Bamboo Staff to parry, but then—

Boom!

The ground beneath his feet cracked open, Lu Qingfeng's small body exploded piece by piece, blood splattering everywhere, his vital energy rapidly waning.

It suffered severe damage with just one blow.

"Huh?"

"It actually withstood an attack from me, the god?"

The Oxhead Yin Deity to have some doubts, and the steel fork in its hand remained suspended in the air, not falling for a moment.

At this critical juncture.

Five-Colored Divine Light shot out from above Lu Qingfeng's head and swung fiercely at the steel fork in the Oxhead Yin Deity's hand.

Wow!

The steel fork disappeared instantly.

This was a weapon that the Oxhead Yin Deity had refined over countless years, possessing immense power, yet it was directly swept away by Lu Qingfeng. The Oxhead Yin Deity was both shocked and furious, but then he saw twelve Ironback Centipede, resembling celestial dragons, fly out from the Green Bamboo Staff lying in front of him, their heads and tails connected, forming a defensive formation.

The next moment.

The bamboo cane pierced through the formation and slammed into his forehead with a thud.

"Not good!"

The Oxhead Yin Deity felt a sharp pain in its forehead, as if its six senses were about to be shut down. But that was secondary. The crucial point was that three flames suddenly erupted from the Green Bamboo Staff and landed on its Yin Spirit body, causing the entire Yin Spirit body to tremble.

They dared not linger even for a moment.

Darkness surged beneath his feet, the vortex of darkness closed, and without uttering a harsh word, he vanished in an instant.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Seeing the Oxhead Yin Deity retreat, Lu Qingfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Introspect on yourself.

His newly recovered injuries were severely aggravated by the attack from that Oxhead Yin Deity.

"As expected of the Netherworld Court that governs the Six Paths of Reincarnation."

"Any random Oxhead Yin Deity could harm me. If that Yin Spirit hadn't been afraid of Karmic Fire, I would have been in grave danger this time."

Lu Qingfeng felt a wave of fear wash over him.

Even a glimpse through a tube reveals a trace of the majesty of the Netherworld Court.

"Karmic Fire".

Lu Qingfeng gripped the Green Bamboo Staff, from which three Karmic Fire surged, swaying like red lotuses, quite eerie.

Just as I was feeling fortunate...

Splash!

Splash!

In the void, a dark vortex suddenly appeared. The Oxhead Yin Deity reappeared, holding a black bowl with its rim facing down. It then stirred up a raging Celestial River of blood, which surged straight towards Lu Qingfeng.

"What a powerful Oxhead Yin Deity!"

Lu Qingfeng was shocked and furious.

He hurriedly grabbed his Green Bamboo Staff and struck, using twelve Ironback Centipede to block the river of blood. The bamboo staff pierced the air, but instead ignited Karmic Fire that attacked the Oxhead Yin Deity.

Only.

While still en route, the Karmic Fire collided with the river of blood, flickering as if about to be extinguished.

"What?"

This was no small matter.

This Oxhead Yin Deity has returned, and now it has summoned a river of blood capable of extinguishing Karmic Fire?!

"This is the water of the Naihe River, which can cure all sins."

The Oxhead Yin Deity spoke, suddenly reaching out its palm and grabbing one end of the Green Bamboo Staff.

Copper Snakes and Iron Hounds fight over food, but they will be forever trapped in the Naihe River with no way out!

In the Naihe River, the Copper Snakes and Iron Hounds were seen biting wildly. Unable to bite the Green Bamboo Staff, they tried to bite Lu Qingfeng's palm along the bamboo staff.

Don't let go.

They were about to be bitten and killed, their flesh mangled and their deaths gruesome.

Seeing this situation.

Lu Qingfeng dared not hold the Green Bamboo Staff any longer, and hurriedly let go, repeatedly saying, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"I hope the Venerable God knows that I was originally a Pure Law Bamboo in the Black Wind Mountain of the Earth Immortal Realm. I listened to the teachings of Buddhism for four thousand years before Venerable Nujuluo. In Yellow Wind Ridge, I became sworn brothers with the Great Sage Huangfeng under the seat of Lingji Bodhisattva, and almost became a disciple of Venerable Yinjietuo."

"We hope that Your Excellency will show leniency for the sake of my elder brother, the Great Sage Huangfeng."

This Oxhead Yin Deity possessed formidable magical Law Power; even if it couldn't compare to his eldest brother, it was likely no weaker than his second brother, the Azure Fox Great Sage. Lu Qingfeng, relying on the power of his Karmic Fire, thought he could contend with it. However, this Yin Spirit then unleashed the Water of Helplessness, nearly extinguishing the three Karmic Fire within his Pure Bamboo Staff.

Lu Qingfeng knew he was no match for them.

Therefore.

They quickly moved out to rely on their connections.

"Black Wind Mountain".

"The Meditating Arhat".

"Lingji Bodhisattva".

"The Great Sage Huangfeng".

"The Cloth-Bag Arhat".

The Oxhead Yin Deity listened, his ox-like eyes widening, groaning heavily. He pointed a finger, first freezing the Naihe River, then standing there dumbfounded.

Lu Qingfeng knew.

This god must have gone to seek verification.

I felt a little more at ease.

After a while.

The Oxhead Yin Deity shuddered before regaining his senses and stared at Lu Qingfeng, asking, "You are the Pure Serenity Lad, the Third King of Yellow Wind Ridge?!"

Lu Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that everything was alright this time. He clasped his hands in a gesture of respect and said in a clear voice, "It is indeed me."

"..."

"Return the Seven-Kill Yin Deity Fork original form!"

The Oxhead Yin Deity released his grip on the Green Bamboo Staff.

Splash!

He then poured the Naihe River into the black bowl before speaking in a muffled voice to Lu Qingfeng.

"The divine weapon is here."

Lu Qingfeng put away the Green Bamboo Staff. Upon inspection, seeing that it was undamaged, he quickly returned the 'Seven-Kill Yin Deity Fork' of the Oxhead Yin Deity.

"Snort!"

"This person's lifespan has come to an end. Unless he becomes an immortal on the spot, he will eventually have to come to my underworld and be reincarnated."

The Oxhead Yin Deity sheathed his weapon, glanced at Ding Yu behind Lu Qingfeng, and snorted.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingfeng's heart stirred.

"May I ask, Your Miaofa, is there a wondrous method to help my disciple achieve the status of Earth Immortal?" The Oxhead Yin Deity took his weapon but didn't leave, nor did he take Ding Yu; clearly, he was implying that he wanted to give some guidance. Lu Qingfeng seized the opportunity and quickly asked.

Upon hearing this, the Oxhead Yin Deity's expression softened slightly, and he tossed something out with his hand.

Lu Qingfeng took it and saw that it was a pitted, fist-sized stone.

It contains quite a lot of information.

Lu Qingfeng opened the 'Grand Luo Insight' and was immediately overjoyed—

[Rare Object: The River-of-Forgetfulness Stone]

[Note: A strange stone, submerged in the River of Forgetfulness for millions of years, can conceal the soul of a dying person, preventing them from being detected by the Netherworld Court Yin Spirit, allowing them to exist in a state of neither life nor death, and thus roam the mortal world.]

"This is the River-of-Forgetfulness Stone, which comes from the River of Forgetfulness. Wearing this stone on your disciple will ensure three thousand years of carefree existence. After three thousand years, the River-of-Forgetfulness Stone shatter, and if you do not wish to fall into the cycle of reincarnation, you will have to find another way."

After the Oxhead Yin Deity finished speaking, he turned around and disappeared into the dark vortex, returning to the Netherworld Court without a trace.

Upon seeing this, Lu Qingfeng realized what was happening and quickly thanked him, saying, "Thank you for your gift, Your Excellency!"

But little did they know.

The Oxhead Yin Deity returned to the Netherworld Court, and upon hearing the voice, it showed disgust, as if saying, "What bad luck!"

It then vanished into the darkness, its breath gone.

The Yin Spirit come and go.

They also left behind a 'River-of-Forgetfulness Stone,' which seems to be a gesture of goodwill, or perhaps an apology.

"With such a powerful background, even the Yin Spirit of the Underworld would be wary of him."

Lu Qingfeng, with his keen insight, discerned the underlying meaning and a smile appeared on his face.

If it weren't for his background, a mere True Immortal wouldn't deserve such treatment from the Oxhead Yin Deity.

He shook his head.

Lu Qingfeng didn't think too much about it, stood up, and pinned the River-of-Forgetfulness Stone to Ding Yu's chest.

Ding Yu, without a thought, also stood up automatically and stood behind Lu Qingfeng.

These two people.

The former appears to be a five or six-year-old child, dressed in blue and barefoot, holding Green Bamboo Staff.

The latter, with his white hair and majestic star-studded robe, looked like a celestial being, but now he had his eyes closed and brows drooping, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

An old man and a young child—it's truly bizarre.

Walking in the bamboo forest.

Ding Yu was mindless and clueless, following along step by step.

Lu Qingfeng walked ahead, surveying the bamboo grove.
