Chapter 135 Changes in the Eighteen Hells

Unexpectedly, such a big thing had happened in Shuntian Prefecture, even worse than Ji Xiang had initially anticipated.

After learning the cause and effect of why the Forbidden City had become what it was from Old Zhang, Ji Xiang also told him about the Southern Forbidden City, which greatly surprised Old Zhang.

"So... it was prepared a long time ago."

"Did Emperor Jiajing search for this otherworld... No wonder he said it didn't matter who was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhang Tianshi finally understood why Emperor Jiajing had said those words. It turned out that he wasn't targeting Wanli, his unpopular grandson, but that he felt everyone present was trash.

Even putting a real pig on the throne, as long as it had Hongwu's bloodline, whether it was a pig or a Zhu, it didn't matter!

Ji Xiang, on the other hand, looked at the flying Forbidden City, thinking that if the Ming Dynasty were to be overthrown and replaced in a few hundred years, and the Forbidden City were to be fenced off and charged for tourists to visit, they would probably have to buy a plane ticket first.

Many Taoists from Longhu Mountain, having been summoned by the Tianshi in advance, had already gone to Korea. They were proud, after all, the first person to ascend to immortality in the world came from their mountain. The value of being the leader of the Taoist sect was understood, far higher than Shangqing Maoshan and Lingbao Gezao.

Old Zhang said that his grandson had been in the battlefield since the beginning of the Korean War, serving as a military mage, because he could take the opportunity to build up his reputation. However, the situation had now deteriorated. The high-end combat power of the Japanese side was constantly increasing, as well as those gods and resentful spirit monsters transformed by wishes. These were not things that could be killed by conventional means, and heavy blows had to be used.

Therefore, he hoped that Ji Xiang could take care of him when he went to Korea.

As for Ji Xiang's proposal to attack the Japanese mainland, Old Zhang said that the success rate was too low. There were not enough ascended masters now, which was the key point.

There were only eight or nine ascended masters in the outer world, and they all had their own agendas. In addition, there was a group of Refining Spirit and Pure Yang level deputies. In particular, these deputies, their strength seemed to be the combat power that the human world could allow, second only to immortals, but in actual combat, their true strength might be at the level of pseudo-immortals.

Reaching the pseudo-immortal level was terrifying. Although they were glass cannons, they could still exchange two moves with true immortals.

If this level of deputy took advantage of his absence to come in and cause trouble, it would be impossible to stop them.

"There is also a great master at the peak of Pure Yang in the imperial court, who is also the Bixia Yuanjun guarding Mount Tai, but she cannot easily leave her guarding place, which is of great importance. The Eighteen Hells are among them, the place where life and death in the world revolve, connected to the otherworld, and there must be no mistakes."

"It is said that in the past, at least a Flying Immortal had to guard this mountain. It is a pity that the great chaos at the end of the Yuan Dynasty left less than one in ten cultivators in the world. Not to mention Flying Immortals, even Immortals have been cut off for two hundred years. The Pure Yang realm quasi-immortal is already the highest combat power."

At this moment, Ji Xiang suddenly had a whim: "Can the bottom of Mount Tai directly reach the otherworld of the Eighteen Hells?"

Zhang Tianshi: "Bixia Yuanjun has the authority to descend. We need her permission to enter."

"I learned from the Prince of Lu that the Underworld seems to have seized half of the Dongyue otherworld. Does she still have any sense of the lower level of these Eighteen Hells?"

"Isn't it said that only things from the Underworld can come to the upper realm? How can there be such a thing!" Zhang Tianshi was immediately shocked!

The Eighteen Hells were in the Dongyue otherworld, and this otherworld was of great importance. If it was seized by the Underworld, the other side could send Yin spirits into the human world on a large scale!

Although the Longevity Immortal Palace did not have immortal-level masters, there were only more masters below the immortal level. According to the Yin generals guarding in the Dongyue otherworld now, how could they be the opponents of this group of people!

"Wrong, they already have immortal-level combat power now. Originally, you were going to tell me things, but it turned into me telling you. It was my fault that I forgot to tell you before. Fortunately, I made a trip."

Ji Xiang shattered Old Zhang's illusions and told him clearly that the Underworld already had at least three immortal-level combat powers, and these three were not ordinary immortals!

The Soul Molting technique and various strange spells were just information from Tianluo Wang alone. The other two were hidden under the Nine Lands, relying on the mist, making it impossible to deal with them.

"Here are fifteen parts of the Emergency Rescue Formula for this age, take it, it can resolve the disaster of Soul Molting."

"Be careful, Song Ting secretly seized the Yin Mountain otherworld, and now he is acting with the power of the Yin Mountain otherworld, it will be difficult for you to find him."

Zhang Tianshi looked complicated after hearing Ji Xiang's words: "Folk Dharma sects have always been at odds with the Three Religions. Now that the Fajia has such a big event, the imperial court should restrain them. If they are not restrained, judging from their way of doing things arbitrarily, occupying mountains as kings, and dominating one side, sooner or later they will cause trouble."

Dharma sects only follow their own rules, and they have always turned a deaf ear to external accountability, and can even be said to be unscrupulous. Sect rules are superior to heavenly rules and laws, and this is the only principle of Dharma sects.

Ji Xiang thought thoughtfully: "Restraining Dharma sects is also a good thing, but they will not easily agree. Taking my Wudang as the boundary, in the southern region, many Dharma sects are rampant and teach techniques to the world, especially in the southeast, where Dharma sects are deeply rooted. The imperial court wants to restrain them, I am afraid it will be powerless."

"Unless they are uprooted, but this will cause fear and vigilance among the world's cultivators. It is secondary to gain a bad reputation, but mainly to make the imperial court lose credibility, and it will be easy for people to use this as an excuse to rebel in the future."

A righteous cause is needed. Doing so is equivalent to giving them the name. Not to mention anything else, the White Lotus Sect will definitely jump out again to make trouble. After all, they have actually been circulating for thousands of years. For thousands of years, three or four dynasties have tried to exterminate them, but the result is that the dynasty collapsed, and they still continue to inherit.

When you find a cockroach in your house, there is already a nest under your bed.

"How about offering amnesty?" Zhang Tianshi asked tentatively.

After all, even if the imperial court wants to suppress them now, it does not have the ability. Before the new generation of cultivators grows up, there are not many good ways.

The gods summoned by the God Investiture Order are all monsters. Even if they are pardoned and become god generals, they may not be able to compete with the folk Dharma masters in the southeast. After all... the experts are among the people.

Ji Xiang also understood what Zhang Tianshi meant: "Whether to offer amnesty or suppress, the power lies in His Majesty's decision. Tianshi wants me to go to Korea and mentions your grandson, in fact, he is asking me to protect all practitioners in Korea."

"This is our country's new force, and it cannot be wiped out, is that what you mean?"

Zhang Tianshi nodded, finally able to smile: "Exactly, the one who knows me is the Arctic True Man."

"I cannot leave the Forbidden City now, I am seriously injured, and I cannot even send out an incarnation. The land of Korea, the power of the Three Kingdoms is intertwined, which has a great impact on the use of magic by practitioners. At the same time, there seems to be a pseudo-immortal level combat power there, which has caused great losses to our country. Only a true immortal can repel the enemy."

"This trip, I beg you!"

Zhang Tianshi repeatedly urged and told Ji Xiang that some people would also enter Korea this time, that is, the Jianzhou Guard. Now that Nurhaci was dead, Shuerhazi had expressed his loyalty. This time was a good opportunity to weaken their strength. Even if they knew that doing so would reduce their strength, they would still enter the war. Not only because they could obtain certain spoils of war, after all, this was originally Nurhaci's memorial, and now it was just "approved."

As for Korea itself... I am afraid no one cares, whether it is Emperor Wanli, or Zhang Tianshi, or Shuerhazi, Toyotomi Hideyoshi... or even the Korean King himself, he only cares about the restoration of the country, and will not care about the life and death of those people.

After all, if the position is not guaranteed, and even the vassal state cannot be maintained, then what do you need the people for?
