Outside the Pangu Hall, the sound of war drums under Buzhou Mountain's feet gradually subsided.
Dijiang and other eleven Ancestral Witch left and returned, followed by more than a hundred Witch Clan sons and daughters.
These Greater Witch are carefully selected from the various departments of Buzhou Mountain. Each one has at least a cultivation level of Heavenly Immortal or above, and the leading ones among them have reached the level of Primordial Unity Golden Immortal.
They stepped onto the stone steps of the Pangu Hall with heavy steps. Their faces did not have the excitement before setting out for the expedition, nor did they feel confused about being suddenly summoned.
Ancestral Witch If you give an order, they will come. No reason or explanation is needed.
More than a hundred Greater Witch filed into the hall and lined up among Blood-Jade Giant Pillar.
Although Pangu Hall is vast, it suddenly seemed a little crowded to accommodate so many people. Greater Witch Everyone held their breath and concentrated, not daring to make the slightest sound.
For the Witch Clan, Pangu Hall is a place more sacred than any other place, and it is a supreme honor to step into this place.
Dijiang stood in the center of the hall, his eyes swept over the faces of more than a hundred Greater Witch one by one, and said in a deep voice:
"Today I have summoned you and others for a major event concerning Witch Clan's life and death. The specific reason shall not be disclosed to anyone after leaving this palace.
All you need to know is that Ancestral Witch Houtu personally planned this matter, and eleven of us and the others unanimously agreed."
Greater Witch They all knelt down on one knee and hit their hearts with their right fists, making a dull sound. This is Witch Clan the most solemn military salute.
"I am willing to die for the Witch Clan!" More than a hundred people shouted in unison, and their voices echoed repeatedly in the closed Pangu Hall, causing the veins on Blood-Jade Giant Pillar to tremble slightly.
"Okay." Dijiang said no more and turned to look at Zhujiuyin, "Second brother, let's get started."
Zhujiuyin took a step forward, a hint of brilliance flashed in those eyes that contained River of Time.
His eyes fell on the hundreds of Greater Witch, and he spoke slowly, his voice low and with some kind of power that penetrated time and space:
"Underworld The person in charge of Divine Office needs the perception to be able to bear the laws of Earthly Dao.
Your cultivation and combat skills are secondary, but the three conditions are most important.
Absolute loyalty to the Witch Clan, the courage to fear life and death, and the determination to remain unmoved in the face of great terror."
He raised his right hand, and a gray ball of light condensed on his fingertips. It was the fragment of Law of Time that he controlled as time Ancestral Witch.
The light group slowly spread and turned into an invisible wave that swept over more than a hundred Greater Witch.
The Greater Witchs who were touched by the wave paused slightly, as if they had experienced countless scenes in a long time at this moment.
There are fights of blood and fire, the death of relatives, the withering in desperate situations, and the glory of victory.
Without them realizing it, this is Zhujiuyin testing their character and character with Way of Time.
After a few breaths, Zhujiuyin retracted his finger and nodded to Dijiang: "All are available. Twelve of them are particularly outstanding."
Dijiang nodded, then turned to face the hundreds of Greater Witch, his voice as deep as a bell:
"Don't be surprised by what you will see next, and don't ask any questions.
After leaving the palace, do not mention anything about what you saw and heard today to anyone."
Having said that, he no longer paid attention to the reactions of the Greater Witchs, and took a step forward with the other ten Ancestral Witchs.
Eleven Ancestral Witches formed a circle in the center of the Pangu Hall, looked at each other, and at the same time raised their hands to press their hearts.
Dijiang took the lead.
His dark golden essence and blood flew out of his chest and suspended in mid-air, like a miniature scorching sun.
Ancestral Witch Blood Essence's pressure was so terrifying. Even if he deliberately suppressed his aura, there was still a moment in the hall as if he was being crushed by Law of Space. Greater Witch, who was slightly weaker in cultivation, was almost unsteady on his feet.
Followed by Zhujiuyin, his essence and blood appeared in a gray color, with the faint shadow of River of Time flowing in it.
Goumang's turquoise blood essence is full of endless vitality, Rushou's golden-white essence blood stands out, Gonggong's azure blood essence surges like a tide, and Zhurong's red essence blood rises in flames.
One after another, ancestor Witch General's own Origin Essence essence and blood were forced out and suspended in mid-air in the center of the hall.
The eleven groups Ancestral Witch Blood Essence have different colors and different breaths, but they have the same origin.
Eleven Ancestral Witches pinches the magic formula at the same time to separate a wisp of Origin Essence from the blood essence.
Separating the essence and blood is more painful than forcing out the essence and blood. Each Ancestral Witch's complexion turned a bit paler. Gonggong and Zhurong had veins popping out on their foreheads and clenched their teeth. But no one made any sound.
The eleven separated strands of essence and blood gathered together in mid-air and merged into a dark golden blood ball the size of a fist.
Then Eleven Ancestral Witches shouted at the same time, each injecting a true Spiritual Energy breath.
The blood cells began to tremble violently after the true Spiritual Energy breath was incorporated, and complex divine patterns appeared on the surface, which were the Pangu Bloodline marks shared by Twelve Ancestral Witches.
The blood cells slowly stretch and gradually shape into a human shape.
One, two, three... a total of eleven humanoid figures emerged from the blood sphere, each one corresponding to the appearance of Ancestral Witch.
Dijiang's clone is tall and burly, with resolute features, no different from Dijiang's main body; Zhujiuyin's clone has gray eyes and lingering around him It smells like Law of Time; Goumang's avatar is wearing a green robe and has a warm aura; Xuanming's avatar has a cold air all over it, as cold as ice.
These clones are not the real Ancestral Witch, but incarnations shaped by Ancestral Witch Blood Essence. The clone of Houtu can reach the cultivation level of Late Quasi-Sage because her original body is Great Dao Sage.
However, Dijiang and Eleven Ancestral Witches are all Quasi-Saint, so the strength of their clones is naturally much different.
Each clone only has the cultivation level of the late Daluo Golden Immortal. It can be considered a master among Primordial Wilderness, but compared with the main body, the gap is indeed not small.
But Houtu never wanted combat power.
What she wants is that after these clones settle in Underworld, they can enjoy the blessings of Earthly Dao Fortune.
Enjoying Fortune does not lie in the avatars practicing and improving, but in the fact that these clones are imprinted with the will and true Spiritual Energy of the eleven Ancestral Witchs.
Earthly Dao Fortune's blessing to the clone will be fed back to the Ancestral Witch body through the true Spiritual Energy breath, which will more or less form an extra layer of protection and more variables in Calamity Kalpa.
After the eleven Ancestral Witch avatars were formed, they each nodded to the main body. There was no extra emotion in their eyes, they just looked at each other to complete a silent handover and trust.
Upon seeing this, Xuande took out the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk phantom from his sleeve.
He kneaded the secrets with his left hand, and the golden light flowed from his fingertips. According to the method taught to him by Houtu at Underworld, mana was injected into the plate at a specific frequency.
I saw the six light wheels in the disk begin to rotate slowly, jerkily at first, as if gears that had not been running for a long time were re-meshing.
But it soon became smooth, and the totems of Heavenly Dao, Human Path, Asura Path, Animal Path, Hungry Ghost Path, and Hell Path lit up one by one.
A wave of power that did not belong to Primordial Wilderness Heavenly Dao spread in the hall.
That's the power of Earthly Dao.
Although Pangu Hall is isolated from the outside world, this temple is ultimately transformed by Pangu's Heart and has the same origin as the earth.
The Reincarnation Disk phantom given to Xuande by Houtu took advantage of this layer of homology to directly connect to Six Paths of Reincarnation inside the Pangu Hall.
Golden light spurted out from the plate, forming a rotating light door in the center of the hall.
Within the light gate, you can vaguely see the intertwined and rotating shadows of six light wheels, as well as the dark and vast land of the netherworld.
The aura escaping through the light door caused the expressions of all Witch Clan present to change slightly.
It was a power that vaguely resonated with something deep in their blood, thick, ancient, and as warm as the earth.
Xuande was the first to step into the light gate, followed closely by the eleven clones of Ancestral Witch.
More than a hundred Greater Witch filed in at the signal of Dijiang. No one hesitated or looked back.
The light door slowly closed after the last Greater Witch passed through, and the miniature version of Six Paths Reincarnation Disk completed its final mission, turning into golden light and dissipating in the air of the Pangu Hall.
Dijiang stretched out his hand and held it in vain, as if he wanted to catch the dissipated light, but could not catch anything. He was silent for a moment, turned around and said to the ten remaining entities Ancestral Witch:
"Let all ministries resume daily inspections, and the vacant positions in the palace will be filled from the reserve camp."
Then he stopped talking.
Pangu Hall's door slowly opened and then closed slowly. Primordial Wilderness's skylight and strong wind poured into the hall again, blowing away the last trace of Earthly Dao's power.
Everything seems to have returned to its original state, Buzhou Mountain is still Heavenly Pillar of Primordial Wilderness, and Witch Clan is still the owner of Buzhou Mountain.
But all eleven Ancestral Witch know in their hearts that from today on, things are no longer the same.
Their little sister was in Underworld, their own clones also went to Underworld, and more than a hundred Witch Clan elites also followed.
The root of the Witch Clan finally has a side branch extending out from Buzhou Mountain.
This branch is buried deep in the netherworld, buried in a place where Heavenly Dao's eyes cannot penetrate, growing quietly.
Here, the light door suddenly opens at the other end of the netherworld.
Xuande took the lead and stepped on the unique gloomy land of Underworld.
The huge light wheel of Six Paths of Reincarnation is slowly rotating not far away, and the body of Houtu is sitting cross-legged in the center of the reincarnation, surrounded by her thick and far-reaching power of Sage.
When she saw Xuande appear with a large group of people, a trace of relief flashed across her eyes, the corners of her lips curved slightly, and a gentle meaning appeared on the face of Sage that should have been serious.
After more than a hundred Greater Witch walked out of the light door, they all looked at everything in front of them with wide eyes.
The majestic light wheel of Six Paths of Reincarnation is like a giant sun hanging in the dark void, and the six rotations affect the life and death changes of all living things in the world.
Just standing in front of this light wheel, one can feel that oneself is as small as a grain of dust, but yet there is a sense of destiny-like comfort in it.
It seems that this is the final destination of all living things.
Although the eleven Ancestral Witch clones only have the cultivation level of late Daluo Golden Immortal, their perception is far beyond ordinary Greater Witch.
The moment they stepped into Underworld, they felt the power that vaguely resonated with the blood of the Witch Clan.
That is the power of Earthly Dao, the rules and will given by Houtu to this netherworld with the body of Sage.
This force does not repel Witch Clan, but seems to welcome the returning wanderers.
The voice of Houtu's body came from the center of Six Paths of Reincarnation, with a sense of relief in the ethereal air. "Brothers, fellow tribesmen, you are here."
Her eyes fell on those Witch Clan Greater Witch, and she looked at each one carefully. Then she looked at Xuande, with a more solemn tone in her tone. "Fellow Daoist, the next thing will be done according to what you said before."
Xuande nodded.
He took out the Great Emperor Fengdu's Token from his sleeve again. In the netherworld, the light of this Communication Token was brighter than that of the Primordial Wilderness. The light flowed throughout the body and was closely connected with the Underworld and Fortune.
As Great Emperor Fengdu, he sank Divine Sense into Communication Token. The Underworld map on Communication Token was once again expanded into Sea of Consciousness, and most of the more than a thousand Divine Office positions were still vacant.
"Houtu, fellow Daoist," Xuande raised his head, calmly Earthly Dao, "I have a suggestion."
"Please speak."
Among Underworld, Six Paths of Reincarnation's light wheel rotates slowly in the depths of the netherworld, and the golden light shines on the faces of each Ancestral Witch clone and Witch Clan Greater Witch.
Houtu's body sits cross-legged in the center of reincarnation, with the power of Sage around her as thick and gentle as the earth. She is quietly waiting for Xuande's arrangements.
Xuande held Great Emperor Fengdu's Token and Divine Sense swept over the Underworld map in Communication Token. After pondering for a moment, he said:
"The position of Ten Kings of Hell is an important position in the center of Underworld. All dead souls who enter Underworld must go through the ten halls to check their merits and demerits in their lives and determine their reincarnation direction. These ten positions are not trivial. Only those with high moral integrity and integrity can hold them."
His eyes fell on the eleven Ancestral Witch clones, and finally stopped on the face of the Zhujiuyin clone, with a solemn tone:
"Fellow Daoist Zhujiuyin is in charge of Way of Time. He can trace back all the events of the deceased soul's life and identify its merits and demerits. He has a talent for judging that no one else can match.
Pindao suggested that fellow Daoist Zhujiuyin should serve as Underworld Chief Judge, who would be in charge of Judge Division independently of the Tenth Hall.
All cases that are controversial in the Tenth Hall trial, people who have committed great Merit crimes, and dead souls involving Calamity Kalpa cause and effect in heaven and earth must be submitted to Judge Division for review.
Chief Judge also has the right to access everything."
The gray eyes of the Zhujiuyin clone flashed slightly, and then he nodded slowly. "Judge the dead souls and determine their merits and demerits. This matter is indeed consistent with the Way of Time I control. I have no objection."
Seeing that he agreed, Xuande continued, "As for Ten Kings of Hell--"
He looked at the Dijiang clone and said, "For the first palace of Yama, Pindao suggests that fellow Daoist Dijiang should be in charge. Fellow Daoist is in charge of Way of Space, and can set up teleportation gates for all Underworld divisions so that the extradition of evil souls will not be blocked by space. It is most suitable to control the center of the ten halls."
Dijiang clone nodded, without any hesitation. "Yes."
Xuande then looked at the other Ancestral Witch, and arranged them one by one. "Goumang, Daoist friend, is in charge of Spring Birth's way, and he can be in charge of the second hall, specializing in the death of good people Jieyin;
Rushou Daoist friend is in charge of the Tao of Autumn Slaughter, and can be in charge of the third hall, specializing in prison decisions; Gonggong Daoist friend is in charge of water transport, and can be in charge of the fourth hall, and uses the light of water to illuminate the souls of the dead;
Zhurong Daoist friend is in charge of the virtue of fire, and he can be in charge of the fifth hall, using the fierceness of fire to refine the karma of sinful souls."
"Xuanming Fellow Daoist is in charge of Rain and Snow Frost, and can be in charge of the sixth hall, specializing in the punishment of the Ice Hell; Tianwu Fellow Daoist is in charge of Wind Dao, and can be in charge of the seventh hall;
Fellow Daoist Xizi is in charge of thunder and lightning, and can be in charge of the eighth hall, specializing in thunder punishment; Fellow Daoist Shebishi is in charge of Weather, and can be in charge of the ninth hall; Fellow Daoist Qiangliang is in charge of thunderstorms, and can be in charge of the tenth hall."
Ancestral Witch The clones all nodded in agreement, and no one had any objections.
After Xuande arranged Ten Kings of Hell, he turned his attention to the hundreds of Greater Witch.
He took a quick look and found that there were indeed twenty or thirty people among them who were born with different appearances.
Some have double horns on their heads and faces like ox heads, while others have faces like horses and stand-up ears.
This is the extremely rare bull-headed and horse-faced bloodline among the Witch Clan, who is born with the talent to see through the soul Origin Essence.
Xuande's eyes lit up, and he pointed at those Witch Clans of Ox-Head and Horse-Face blood. "You and other tribesmen are born to be able to see through the essence of souls, so you can act as Soul-Summoning Envoy, specializing in going to Primordial Wilderness places to arrest dead souls and extradite them to Underworld for trial."
Hearing this, those Ox-Head and Horse-Face and Witch Clan all knelt down on one knee. "Take orders!"
Xuande then said to the other Greater Witch: "The rest of the tribe will be classified into Prison-Guarding Division, Underworld Deputy Division, and Patrol Division according to their level of cultivation and combat skills.
Prison-Guarding Division is responsible for guarding the tortured souls in Eighteen Levels of Hell, Underworld Deputy Division is responsible for assisting Ten Kings of Hell in processing documents and judgments, and Patrol Division is responsible for patrolling Underworld to prevent the souls from rioting."
He looked at Houtu and bowed his hands. "What do you think, fellow Daoist?"
Houtu's golden eyes flashed with a glimmer of approval.
Xuande's arrangements are comprehensive, not only giving full play to the Great Dao specialties of each Ancestral Witch, but also giving Witch Clan's special bloodline a place to use.
More importantly, Ten Kings of Hell, Chief Judge, Soul-Summoning Envoy, Prison-Guarding General. Once these Underworld Divine Office are recognized by Earthly Dao, the incumbent can enjoy the blessing of Earthly Dao Fortune.
Every piece of Fortune will be fed back to those who are still in Primordial Wilderness through the true spirit connection.
"Fellow Daoist has made a thorough arrangement, I have no objection." Houtu's voice echoed in the darkness, and then she raised her right palm, and the light in the center of Six Paths of Reincarnation suddenly burst out.
Countless golden chains of laws extend from Six Paths Reincarnation Disk, like the roots of the earth, extending to those Witch Clan named by Xuande.
Each chain fell precisely on the forehead of a Witch Clan, imprinting the mark of Earthly Dao's authority into their bodies.
A gray-gold divine pattern appeared between Zhujiuyin's clone's eyebrows, which was the mark of authority of Judge Division Chief Judge.
The Dijiang avatar and the other eight Ancestral Witch avatars each have Yama divine patterns appearing between their eyebrows. They have different shapes, but they all exude the unique heavy pressure of Earthly Dao.
The divine pattern of Soul-Summoning Envoy appears between the eyebrows of those Ox-Head and Horse-Face bloodline Witch Clan.
The remaining Greater Witch also received their respective Divine Office Mark according to the allocation.
The moment all Divine Office settled down, the entire Underworld shook slightly.
The Earthly Dao law in the depths of the netherworld is like an awakened dragon, letting out a silent roar.
The majestic Earthly Dao Fortune spurted out from Six Paths of Reincarnation, turning into countless golden light beams and pouring into the bodies of each newly appointed Witch Clan.
Their breath is rising steadily.
Although there was no direct breakthrough in cultivation, the blessing of Earthly Dao Fortune made each of them feel an unprecedented sense of protection.
It is a completely different kind of power from Heavenly Dao Fortune, which is thicker, deeper, and more capable of protecting rather than testing.
The foundation of Underworld really began to stabilize at the moment when more than a hundred Witch Clan settled in.
