Chapter 423: Nine Years of Time

 

In the mortal realm, everything changes fast.

The existence of the Netherworld disrupts the preexisting order of the mortal realm. 

In addition to instilling new hope in mortals, cultivators have also been affected by the ensuing ripple effects.

Because the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain is none other than the Lord of the Nether, this realm of rewarding virtue and punishing wickedness is an endeavor orchestrated solely by him, a fact that has never been concealed since its inception. People are well aware of the grand vision, immense courage, and profound compassion displayed by this Wolf God.

If the Nether Reincarnation System is established, there will no longer be infants born without souls in the world.

The righteous cultivators greatly admire and are astounded by the immense vision and courage of the Wolf God, showing their utmost respect.

However, for the demonic beings, this matter is not as favorable. If they happen to die in the future, their souls are highly likely to be apprehended by the ghost messengers and sent to the Nether for endless torment and excruciation, enduring immeasurable suffering in the eighteen levels of hell, meticulously orchestrated by the Ten Yama Kings in accordance with the laws…

Such a future is simply dark and terrifying, utterly difficult to accept.

After all, once someone dies, they are dead and gone, putting an end to everything; nobody will truly care about what becomes of them after death.

But things are different now.

The matter of being apprehended by ghost messengers and taken to the netherworld for punishment after death has caused a great uproar among the demonic beings.

After this matter spreads, if it weren't for the infamous reputation of the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain, the demonic beings would have likely gathered at Hanyu Mountain long ago and completely overturned this yet-to-be-established netherworld.

However, despite this, the restless demonic beings quickly formed an interconnected alliance.

Although they dare not provoke Lu Heng at Hanyu Mountain, causing havoc in the earthly city god temples within the netherworld is not difficult. After all, the city god temples nowadays are all empty and desolate, with only the Wuyou and Wuyu siblings appearing to guide the souls of the deceased into the netherworld. At other times, there are no ghost messengers on duty.

Within many cities in the mortal realm, incidents of destruction to city god temples have occurred.

Although each country and city swiftly restored the city god temples, the constant cycle of construction and destruction hindered the proper guidance of souls and significantly hampered the rapid and flourishing development of the netherworld, which was originally flourishing due to the influx of numerous deceased souls.

Regarding this matter, both the ghost cultivators of the netherworld and the numerous cultivators of the mortal realm harbor an intense sense of resentment. However, there seems to be no definitive solution, leaving them no choice but to engage in a protracted battle against this disruptive force of demonic entities.

Destroyed today, rebuilt tomorrow. Destroyed again after it is built, and rebuilt once more.

Although waves of demonic entities were killed in retaliation for destroying the city god temples, these entities continue to sprout up incessantly, much like never-ending regrowth of chives. They always manage to find opportune moments to destroy the newly constructed city god temples.

In the midst of this protracted battle, batch after batch of demonic spirits were apprehended and captured.

And after these demonic spirits were apprehended and captured, they actually provided the netherworld with new experimental materials… Those torturous Magical Tools designed to punish evil demons have yet to be tested.

After receiving the souls of these demonic entities, You Yue pondered for a brief moment before casting all of their souls into the eighteen levels of hell. She allowed them to experience the torturous punishments level by level, while a dedicated ghost cultivator constantly observed the suffering of these entities, researching any areas in which the instruments of torture could be improved.

Thus, in the mortal realm, the establishment of the netherworld by the netherworld garnered widespread attention and sparked an intensification of the conflict between righteousness and evil, unlike anything seen before.

However, within the realm of Hanyu Mountain, Lu Heng, the instigator himself, remained immersed in his cultivation of heavenly thunder, completely oblivious to the changes transpiring in the outside world.

In his perception, the mortal realm still bore the appearance of tranquility and harmony. He never could have anticipated that the establishment of the netherworld would trigger such a profound chain reaction.

However, even if he knew, he would not halt the establishment of the netherworld.

The birth of a new entity always accompanies the impairment or demise of the old.

Even though there was no contention of faith in this world, both cultivators and ordinary people alike rejoiced in the establishment of the netherworld, with no intention of causing any obstructive interference.

However, it is understandable that the demons became frightened and concerned about their circumstances after death, hence their desperate actions can be comprehended.

Moreover, since the demons are so fearful, it proves that the system of rewarding good and punishing evil in the netherworld carries great deterrent power, further emphasizing the need for its establishment.

Once this comprehensive cycle of reincarnation system is fully established, it will pose a silent threat to the multitude of beings in the mortal realm.

After all, the existence of the netherworld serves as a constant warning to all sentient beings - if you engage in wrongdoing, tread upon the path of evil, you shall endure torment and bear the consequences in the afterlife!

Of course, such a warning doesn't intimidate everyone.

After all, the world is full of risk-takers and short-sighted individuals who only care about the present and disregard the future.

However, as long as the existence of the netherworld can intimidate even one person who was about to tread the path of evil, leading them to ultimately choose the righteous path, it will be a victory for Lu Heng and the realm of the netherworld.

Thus, in the midst of such turmoil, nine years swiftly passed by.

During these nine years, Xiao Ai, residing in the mountains, had also shared some ripe peaches with Sun Yan, Gu Yan, and the fat bird Fei Yi, which greatly contributed to their cultivation progress.

Now, besides Fei Yi, who still has slightly lower cultivation, both Gu Yan and Sun Yan have already refined the five energies within their chests and started refining the three flowers on their heads.

If placed in the outside world, the two brothers would also be considered as prominent figures in the realm of profound and authentic cultivation, earning the respect and admiration of everyone.

And at this moment, there were only a few peaches left on the peach tree.

Although the remaining few peaches were plump, juicy, and fully ripened, they were cleverly hidden and completely beyond anyone's reach for picking.

Clearly, in the future cultivation of Gu Yan and the others, they would no longer be able to rely on the enhancement of the peach fruits. They would have to rely solely on themselves.

However, Gu Yan and Sun Yan had no dissatisfaction with this. Diligent cultivation and staying grounded were precisely what cultivators should do.

And those disciples that Xiao Ai had taken in, under her guidance, have all embarked on the path of cultivation. Although it would be a long time before the opening of the heaven door, these third-generation disciples are now true novices in the realm of cultivation. However, it is foreseeable that in the not-too-distant future, the disciples of Hanyu Mountain will multiply, and their power will continue to grow stronger.

At that moment, even if there were any demonic intrusions, there would be no need to trouble the Wolf God himself to intervene.

-Whenever Xiao Ai thinks of this, her mood brightens significantly.

And in that year, when the day of the Autumn Equinox arrived, there were slight changes observed in the perennial thunderclouds shrouding the peak of Hanyu Mountain.

A streak of white light tore through the heavens and the earth, followed closely by the appearance of a figure draped in flowing white garments in front of the Wolf God Temple, gazing into the distance.

After a full nine years of seclusion, Lu Heng has finally reemerged.

In front of the Wolf God Temple, it seemed that with the arrival of Lu Heng, everything became much brighter.

As Xiao Ai, who was teaching by the lakeside behind the mountain, noticed the commotion, her eyes immediately brightened. After hastily leaving a few instructions, she swiftly rode the winds towards the Wolf God Temple.

In the end, under the smiling gaze of Lu Heng, the little girl respectfully came to a stop in front of the Wolf God Temple and bowed to Lu Heng, saying, "Xiao Ai pays her respects to the Wolf God."
