Six Heavens of Luofeng, Book of Life and Death

Luofeng Mountain.

In the far north of the Netherworld lies the source of the River of Oblivion.

This place reveals reality, but it is only 29,000 li above the ground.

But within, the ancestral vein extends outwards, branching into countless branches, much like a vast world.

Zhou Yuan and Meng Po stepped into the cave.

Then one could see that in the Grand Void, a great palace suppressed the mountains and valleys, while six heavenly palaces hung high in the sky around it.

These seven buildings subtly form an incomparably mysterious Innate Magic Array.

'The Fengdu Main Hall, the Six Heavens of Luofeng.'

Zhou Yuan suddenly realized.

This place is the central hub of the Netherworld; after refining it, one can wield power over the Netherworld.

He preached the Great Dao of Ghost Immortals, secretly aligning with the true meaning of the netherworld, which is why he received this karmic retribution.

Zhou Yuan and Meng Po are both figures of immense power. Although the Fengdu Main Hall is located above the Grand Void and spans countless dimensions, it is only a matter of a step or two for them.

Upon arriving at the main hall...

The [Nine Nether Profound Nether Policy Grand Formation] that shrouded the Heavenly Palace opened naturally.

They did not hinder the two in the slightest.

After entering the Fengdu Main Hall.

Zhou Yuan's gaze was drawn to a book as black as ink in the very center of the hall.

The book was imbued with countless Innate Spiritual Energies. When divine sense swept over it, one could perceive innate divine chains interwoven with the Dao and principles, extending crisscrossing within it, seemingly piercing through reality and nothingness.

The pages of the book turned on their own without any wind, and with each turn, a mysterious and unpredictable fluctuation evolved from the darkness.

Countless complex laws flowed and then faintly formed a huge wheel, on which six black holes appeared. Zhou Yuan and Meng Po only glanced at it, but felt as if their entire minds were about to fall into it.

Cause and effect, creation, death, reincarnation.

"Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure."

"The Human Book - The Book of Life and Death"

"The upper volume of this object governs the authority over the spirits and deities of the netherworld, while the lower volume governs the lifespan of all living beings."

"A precious treasure of Human Dao."

"Friendly fellow Daoist, what a blessed and fortunate turn of events!"

Meng Po looked on with envy.

Possessing this item allows one to confer titles upon the spirits and deities of the underworld, thereby gaining control over the fundamental authority of the Netherworld.

But this only swayed Meng Po's heart.

'With this object in hand, one can manipulate Yin and Yang, comprehend life and death, and understand reincarnation.'

'Truly a supreme treasure for spiritual cultivation and enlightenment.'

'Perhaps there is a chance to transcend the mysteries of life and death, and to grasp the principles of creation in the universe.'

'With this item in hand, Taiyuanzi's attainment of the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal is a certainty.'

The two of them had already discussed it beforehand.

The power over the Netherworld is controlled by Zhou Yuan, and the two are revered as patriarchs in the Ghost Immortal Path.

Now, no matter how good this Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Book of Life and Death, was, Meng Po only glanced at it a few times before looking away.

Seeing this, Zhou Yuan naturally wouldn't stand on ceremony.

He slightly extended his hand.

The Book of Life and Death then emitted a radiant light, as if emitting waves of joy, and transformed into a stream of light that fell into his hand.

Then it quickly lost its brilliance and became simple and unadorned.

After receiving the Book of Life and Death.

Zhou Yuan then led Meng Po on a tour of the Six Heavenly Palaces on Luofeng Mountain.

After the tour is complete.

Only then did he return to the Fengdu Main Hall and sit down.

"This place is the central hub of Luofeng Mountain, and can also serve as the central hub of the underworld."

"I can remain here and oversee the situation."

"This place is also the origin of the Ghost Immortal Path lineage."

Zhou Yuan slowly opened his mouth and revealed his thoughts.

"I will trouble you, fellow Daoist, to take good care of the Tai Sha Liang Shi Zong Tian Palace. This place is where sins are judged and evil is punished. I intend to set up seventy-two levels of hell here to imprison the remnant souls of the Chaos Demon God."

"As for the other five Heavenly Palaces, they will have their uses in the future, and can be assigned to manage the affairs of the Netherworld in the five directions: east, west, south, north, and center."

In ancient mythology, the Netherworld was a complex and intertwined place, with Daoism, Buddhism, the Heavenly Court, Empress Pingxin each having their own domains there, resulting in numerous pantheons and a multitude of commands.

'But this world, the Netherworld, shouldn't have fallen to such a state.'

Meng Po was unaware of his thoughts, but Zhou Yuan's arrangements were flawless.

She just frowned slightly:

"What you say, fellow Daoist, is all the wisdom of a seasoned strategist."

"But I am bound by the rules of the Netherworld, controlled by that crimson Red Moon."

"Leaving the River of Oblivion for a short time is not a big deal."

"But I'm afraid it's impossible for him to stay in the Taisha Heavenly Palace for an extended period of time."

She searched through the netherworld for many years before finally establishing her Dao Domain at the Bridge of Bridge of Helplessness on the River of Oblivion.

Using the mighty, unstoppable flow of the River of Oblivion, they resisted the erosion of the Red Moon.

Having left the River of Oblivion, his strength is limited, and if he wants to suppress the remnant souls of hundreds of Chaos Demon Gods, he will probably be willing but unable.

Zhou Yuan said in a deep voice:

"If this humble Daoist were to pluck that crimson Red Moon from the sky..."

"Fellow Daoist, how confident are you?!"

Pierce the Red Moon?!

Meng Po was startled; even with her composure, ripples of emotion stirred within her.

If only we could pluck the Red Moon from the sky.

Then the rules of the Netherworld that restricted her were effectively rendered useless.

But the old lady looked Zhou Yuan over for a moment, then shook her head regretfully:

"Although your combat strength is astonishing, you are still one step short."

She looked up, her gaze traversing dimensions to land on the Red Moon high in the sky.

A soft sigh:

"When I first arrived in this world, I had this idea."

"After recuperating for more than ten cycles of time."

I once visited that moon.

At this point, a flicker of fervor rose in the old woman's eyes, but it quickly subsided into silence:

"Pity."

"It failed."

Zhou Yuan frowned:

"But the oppressive power of the Netherworld's rules is too great?"

Unexpectedly, Meng Po shook her head:

"While this factor exists, its impact is actually quite small."

"I possess a secret technique that allows me to briefly unleash my full power without any problem."

"But that is where the Pangu Will resides."

"Born to restrain us Chaos Demon Gods."

She recalled the Bronze Ancient Coffin in the center of the Red Moon, her expression turning somber.

"After that incident, it took me over a hundred years to recover my strength."

"Although you are not Chaos Demon God and have some connection with the Pangu Clan, your cultivation is rather shallow."

"Otherwise, it might be worth a try."

She was only offering advice out of good intentions.

After all, Zhou Yuan is now considered her ally, and their cooperation is fairly sincere.

If this Daoist priest truly never returns.

While she may possess the unique fortune of a ghost immortal, she will be confined to the Netherworld for her entire life, unable to extend her influence into the Primordial World.

Not to mention occupying the position of patriarch in the Xuanmen.

Zhou Yuan knew his intentions.

'It seems that attempting to ascend to the Red Moon now will most likely result in nothing.'

According to Meng Po, there's even a risk of falling into a trap.

He touched the [Book of Life and Death] in his hand.

His eyes were dark and unfathomable.

After a long while, he looked up at Meng Po and said solemnly:

"I humbly request your assistance, senior."

"I'll borrow the [Stone of Three Lives] for a moment."

Upon hearing this, Meng Po's eyes lit up, and she even said in disbelief:

"Fellow Daoist, have you already sensed the opportunity for a breakthrough?!"

Zhou Yuan nodded slightly:

"Originally, I wasn't very confident, but this time I obtained the [Book of Life and Death]."

"Some of these conjectures are worth trying."
