The Three Sects Were Shaken by the Great Wilderness After Emptying the Heavenly Court Without Fighting Among Themselves

Underworld.

Ever since the ancestral shaman Houtu had transformed into the cycle of reincarnation and guarded its depths forever, she had stopped concerning herself with matters of the Great Wilderness and secluded herself in the Palace of Peace. She had also handed the vast Underworld over to her disciple, Great Emperor Fengdu, to manage in her stead.

On this day, deep within the Underworld, in the central hall of Fengdu City.

Fengdu sat in the highest seat.

Now that he was managing the Underworld, his status was naturally extraordinary. However, his brows were tightly furrowed.

"What a strange thing. After this Nüwa died, her soul actually disappeared?"

Fengdu took out the Book of Life and Death and examined it carefully.

It clearly recorded that Nüwa had been swimming in the East Sea when she drowned and never returned. Her soul had reincarnated as the Jingwei Bird, which often carried branches and stones from West Mountain in its beak to fill the East Sea.

But now, her soul was nowhere to be found!

Not only that, even Nüwa's death had become suspicious.

Nüwa should still have had years left to live. Yet she had died after being swept into the East Sea when the sea level rose while she was out playing. Her soul had then disappeared without a trace. Clearly, someone had killed her!

"Who exactly has such enormous nerve? How dare they disrupt reincarnation!"

Fengdu was furious.

His master had secluded herself in the Palace of Peace and handed the vast Underworld to him.

Yet something like this had happened. How was he supposed to explain it to his master?

Before he could speculate further, the Southern Ghost Emperor, Du Ziren, hurried into the hall.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Xuandu of the Human Sect, Guangchengzi of the Chan Sect, and Daoist Duobao of the Interception Sect request an audience outside."

Hmm?

Fengdu froze when he heard this.

The first disciples of the Three Pure Ones had actually all come?

This was truly a rare sight.

There was no other reason than the fact that everyone in the Great Wilderness knew of the conflict between the Chan Sect and the Interception Sect.

For the first disciples of the Three Pure Ones to arrive together genuinely shocked Fengdu.

Could it be that the Chan Sect and the Interception Sect had reconciled?

He was even more astonished.

If the Chan Sect and the Interception Sect had reconciled, it meant that the Three Pure Ones were no longer fighting among themselves!

If the Three Pure Ones returned to their former harmony, then there would be three Saints.

What force in the Great Wilderness could stop them?

Even the Western Teachings, which had two Saints presiding over them, had previously been beaten bloody by the Three Pure Ones. Their Saintly bodies had even been cut down.

Fengdu drew a deep breath and did not delay. He immediately said, "Invite the three of them in."

After Du Ziren left, three Daoists soon entered from outside.

"Xuandu of the Human Sect, Guangchengzi of the Chan Sect, and Duobao of the Interception Sect pay our respects to Great Emperor Fengdu."

They were, after all, in the Underworld. They still had to observe the proper etiquette.

"There is no need for such formalities, fellow Daoists. May I ask why the three of you have come to the Underworld today?"

Fengdu's expression was indifferent, but a hint of confusion showed in his eyes.

The relationship between the Underworld and the Three Pure Ones could be said to be completely unrelated.

The fact that the three of them had arrived together naturally made Fengdu curious.

A smile rested on Guangchengzi's face as he calmly asked, "Great Emperor Fengdu, are you currently troubled by the loss of the soul of Nüwa, the daughter of Shennong?"

Fengdu immediately froze and looked at Guangchengzi. "You know about this?"

"That is correct."

Xuandu directly acknowledged it and told Fengdu what had happened to Shennong.

Bang!

Fengdu slammed his palm heavily onto the table, his face filled with fury. "What a Heavenly Court! They actually dared to interfere with reincarnation. Do they think my Underworld has no one?!"

"If that is the case, I will lead troops to attack the Heavenly Court and let them learn the might of my Underworld!"

Xuandu, Guangchengzi, and Duobao exchanged glances before calmly speaking. "The Heavenly Court used Nüwa to coerce Shennong and meddle in the position of Human Emperor's Sage Teacher, offending our master's dignity. The three of us are willing to assist Great Emperor Fengdu in attacking the Heavenly Court!"

"Thank you for your assistance, fellow Daoists."

Fengdu nodded.

He took out the Underworld Edict, and a vast divine voice immediately resounded throughout the entire Underworld.

"Six Heavens of Luofeng, Five Ghost Emperors, and Ten Yama Kings, heed my command!"

"Ever since my master established the Underworld and took control of reincarnation, we have remained deep within the Underworld and ignored the affairs of the Great Wilderness."

"Yet the Heavenly Court has acted without benevolence, disrupting reincarnation and offending my Underworld. They truly think my Underworld has no one. How could we accept this?!"

His voice was filled with fury.

The Underworld had always avoided conflict with the outside world. Yet even that was not enough. Someone still wanted to suppress them. This was simply too much!

As Fengdu's voice resounded, voices rose throughout the vast Underworld.

"Those who offend the Underworld shall be slain, no matter how far away they are!"

No one knew who had first shouted it aloud. Soon, the entire vast Underworld was filled with nothing but that single voice.

Fengdu walked out of Fengdu City and stood in the sky above the Underworld. His posture was straight and his expression proud as he spoke, suppressing all other voices.

"Underworld, heed my command! Muster one hundred thousand Yin Soldiers. Let the Ten Yama Kings serve as the vanguard, the Six Heavens of Luofeng as generals, and the Five Ghost Emperors as marshals. Follow this Emperor into battle and crush the Heavenly Court!"

"My Underworld will make the Heavenly Court tremble and ensure that it remembers the might of my Underworld!"

"Battle!"

"Battle!"

"Battle!"

Battle intent soared into the heavens throughout the vast Underworld.

Xuandu, Guangchengzi, and Duobao exchanged glances, all of them smiling.

The master of the Heavenly Court, Haotian, was the Dao Ancestor's personally appointed ruler of the Three Realms. By seniority, he was also their junior martial uncle, and he controlled the Heavenly Court.

If they lacked a proper justification, the three of them alone might not even have been able to meet Haotian.

But now that they had Fengdu's assistance, everything was completely different.

As Fengdu's order spread, the Five Ghost Emperors, the Six Heavens of Luofeng, the Ten Yama Kings, and one hundred thousand Yin Soldiers all prepared for battle, their battle intent soaring into the heavens.

With Fengdu's command, one hundred thousand Yin Soldiers charged out of the Underworld and headed straight for the Heavenly Court!

Above the Ninth Heaven.

The Heavenly Court, the Southern Heavens.

One hundred thousand Yin Soldiers stood in formation. At the front, Fengdu stood quietly alongside Guangchengzi, Xuandu, and Daoist Duobao.

Fengdu's expression was indifferent as he looked at the Southern Heavenly Gate's guardian general, Giant Spirit God, and spoke directly. "Where is Haotian?!"

"You detained a soul and interfered with reincarnation, offending my Underworld. Bring Haotian out to meet me!"

He did not care about Haotian's so-called title of Heavenly Emperor.

He was merely a Quasi-Saint, while his own master was a Saint!

Moreover, Haotian was in the wrong this time, and his Underworld had justice on its side.

Before Giant Spirit God could speak, Guangchengzi directly summoned the Sky-Turning Seal.

This was an ultimate treasure that Primordial Lord had refined from half of Buzhou Mountain. Its mysteries were endless. Driven by Quasi-Saint power, it was hurled toward the Southern Heavenly Gate without the slightest hesitation.

Boom!

A tremendous crash rang out.

The vast Southern Heavenly Gate shattered beneath the Sky-Turning Seal and exploded apart. The entire Heavenly Court shook violently.

After all, the Heavenly Court had already been trampled by the Witches and had long since lost the prestige of the former Demon Court.

After the destruction of the Southern Heavenly Gate, Guangchengzi's voice could still be heard resounding throughout the Heavenly Court.

"Haotian, you threatened the Earthly Emperor and meddled in the position of Sage Teacher to the human race, offending my master's dignity. Today, I, Guangchengzi, will attack the Heavenly Court on my master's behalf!"

Xuandu and Duobao's voices rang out behind him as well. "I will do the same!"

"Stop wasting words. Haotian, hand over Nüwa's soul. Otherwise, my Underworld will crush the Heavenly Court today!"

Fengdu's voice was cold. Now that the Southern Heavenly Gate had already been destroyed, he directly led one hundred thousand Yin Soldiers into the Heavenly Court.

At the same time.

From the direction of the Hall of Miraculous Mist, a dazzling golden light burst forth, illuminating the entire Heavenly Court. Immediately afterward, an immense Quasi-Saint aura swept across the Heavenly Court.

"The Underworld has some nerve!"

"I am the Heavenly Emperor personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor, the ruler of the Three Realms. Do you not fear that the Dao Ancestor will punish you for what you are doing today?!"

The moment that voice fell.

A middle-aged man stepped out. He wore a golden dragon robe and a crown, with strings of beads hanging before his face. Every movement he made carried an imperial aura. He radiated authority without anger.
