In the minor Yin Department of the Xuantai Universe, it serves as the first station of the grand opening of the Netherworld.
This place has already established a relatively complete operating system for the Yin Department. Xuanqing only needs to follow his own designs to perfect it.
"Spirits from the Mortal World are sent to Jiuyou through temples of deities and ghosts, crossing Ghost Gate, traveling down Yellow Springs Road, reaching the Viewing-Homeland Pavilion… Yama Palace, Eighteen Layers of Hell… River of Oblivion, Naihe Bridge…"
Xuanqing kept modifying the world rules of Jiuyou, projecting Netherworld divine artifacts such as Ghost Gate, Naihe Bridge, Evil Mirror, and Three-Life Stone.
Of course, there are also Other Shore Flowers.
How can the banks of the Yellow Spring River be without the Other Shore Flowers?
Flowers bloom without leaves, leaves appear when flowers haven't bloomed.
These are rare Spirit Roots that can grow in clumps in the Underworld.
In this blazing sea of flowers like flames, Meng Wuyou, dressed in a red garment, barefoot, hums melodiously, fluttering like a lark, occasionally picking a few gorgeously dripping flowers.
These are all materials for refining Mengpo Soup.
She will leave an incarnate by the Naihe Bridge in the minor Yin Department to fulfill the task of brewing soup for the living spirits.
"The River of Oblivion expands the tributaries of the Soul River in the minor Yin Department, Wuyou leaves a Yin God incarnation here, and even the Other Shore Flowers and Divine Peach Tree are here…"
Ming River stood beside Xuanqing, chatting non-stop. After counting everything once, it seems like there's nothing for him to do!
"Xuanqing, what are my arrangements?" Ming River's eyes were full of expectation. He's not a deity that likes idleness and always wants to find things to do.
"You have a crucial task." Xuanqing's expression was serious.
"What crucial task?!"
Ming River perked up, sensing a big task ahead: "Whatever it is, rest assured and leave it to me, I will get it done perfectly!"
"If it's botched, bring your head to see me!"
He patted his chest, his gaze firm and earnest.
"It's not that serious."
Xuanqing couldn't help but laugh: "I need you to construct the Karma System of the Xuantai Universe. With the Karma Fire Red Lotus here, you should be able to handle it quickly."
"Karma System? Corresponding to the Merit System? No problem!"
Ming River received his own task, excited to research, and happily walked away.
After Ming River left, the Reincarnation Purple Lotus floated out.
A phantom sat on the Lotus Platform, supporting its chin with its hand, gazing leisurely at Xuanqing.
"After the transformation into its essence by the fellow Daoist Jiuyou, it seems much has changed." Xuanqing smiled towards the phantom, the Nine Nether Expiation Heavenly Venerate and also the deity of Reincarnation Purple Lotus.
"The past is the past, and now is now. I am now just an Innate Spiritual Treasure, of course, it's different." Reincarnation Purple Lotus said, its words carrying a feeling of unburdening.
For endless eons, it had waged unceasing wars, solely supporting the Jiuyou World against the Bright God Court and Infinite Heavenly Venerate.
Now that the enemies are gone and it has returned to its initial state, it might as well release itself and return to its nature.
"Does fellow Daoist not plan to be a Heavenly Venerate anymore?"
Xuanqing smiled and asked, "This Jiuyou World and the Twenty-four Underworlds, didn't you establish them all by yourself? Aren't you reluctant?"
"I'm temporarily not planning to be a Heavenly Venerate."
Reincarnation Purple Lotus said, "Now that fellow Daoist Xuanqing has taken over the Yin Department, and Jiuyou World is on the right track, I believe Reincarnation Saint King will excel in my place."
"So there's nothing to be reluctant about. This place temporarily doesn't need me, so I might as well go with you to Primordial to take a look."
Currently, Reincarnation Saint King Heavenly Venerate is mainly responsible for the operations of Jiuyou World. He has already accepted Xuanqing's conferment and became the tenth hall master of Netherworld in Primordial True Realm: King Zhuanlun.
"Fellow Daoist plans to open Reincarnation here?" The deity on Reincarnation Purple Lotus looked at Xuanqing.
"That's the idea."
Xuanqing nodded slightly. Before coming to Xuantai Pingyu Heaven, Fu Xi predicted that the Spirit Treasure he was destined to find was actually the Reincarnation Purple Lotus.
After Reincarnation Purple Lotus transformed into Nine Nether Expiation Heavenly Venerate, tasks such as ruling Jiuyou, organizing the Yin Department, and guiding the souls, perfectly aligned with Xuanqing's plans.
Moreover, regarding the concept of "destiny of all beings, opening Reincarnation," Nine Nether Expiation Heavenly Venerate had also contemplated it.
However, due to the dire circumstances of Nine Nether Expiation Heavenly Venerate and the fact that Infinite Heavenly Venerate murdered the original Master of the Universe and transcended first, then took control of the Xuantai Universe, the concept of Jiuyou Reincarnation had been delayed indefinitely.
"Do you need my help?" the deity asked, as Reincarnation Purple Lotus is naturally related to the reincarnation of all beings, which is also part of its mission.
"Having the help of a fellow Daoist would certainly be best," Xuanqing replied.
Regarding the construction of Reincarnation, he had thought of many methods and even trialed them in some small worlds within All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, such as resolving through artifact refining by crafting a Reincarnation divine artifact to complete the concept of transmigration of all beings.
However, this method is infeasible in Primordial True Realm because creating a Reincarnation divine artifact covering the entire Supreme True Realm is extremely difficult.
This matter, theoretically and practically, is beyond ░░░░░░ (Taiyi) Gods to handle.
So Xuanqing had been waiting for an opportunity.
It was not only waiting for the opportunity for his own enlightenment of [Da Luo], but also waiting to find the key Spirit Treasure required to establish Reincarnation.
Now, with the time ripe, Xuanqing is eager to validate his plans in Xuantai Universe.
"However, currently, we can only initiate a minor Reincarnation. To create a grand Reincarnation that encompasses All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, the eternal timespace, is indeed a grand undertaking."
Xuanqing thought silently, to launch Reincarnation in Primordial True Realm would require a major event to attract those mischievous deities to come forward and facilitate this matter.
There must also be strength to suppress everything, otherwise who knows how these frivolous beings might mess up the Netherworld and the Reincarnation of living beings.
"What kind of Reincarnation does fellow Daoist plan to open?" Reincarnation Purple Lotus asked.
"Naturally, it's to open a Reincarnation encompassing the beings of the Three Realms."
Xuanqing said, "Open one path each for Heavenly Realm, Underworld, and Mortal World!"
Thus, with these three elements, it would be possible to encompass the living beings of this universe.
Xuanqing is a man of action; after making a conclusive decision, he began to construct the most crucial part of establishing the Underworld division—opening Reincarnation!
~~~~~
Supreme Eternal Melt Heaven.
Taixu Realm, Huanhuan Thirteen Floors.
After Ancestor Dragon traveled throughout the Xuantai Universe, writing countless travel notes that captivated the deities, he finally found this place.
"All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, there's always a place for joy!"
"I am truly clever! Once upon a time, with a flash of spiritual light, I tossed a 'Eternal Supreme Book of Joy' into the River of Time-Space, and now countless flowers of the Great Dao have bloomed across various dimensions!"
"From now on, cultivators pursuing my Dao will be blessed!"
Ancestor Dragon cheerfully stepped into the thirteenth floor of the harmonious building.
His travelogue, it isn't finished yet.
Tiandu Mountain.
The Taixu Emperor and the State Preceptor stood in front of Yuxu Palace.
Ancestor Dragon's arrival caught their attention.
"This dragon is still the same!" The State Preceptor sighed while holding his forehead.
"Didn't you go often yourself?" The Taixu Emperor glanced at him.
"Is it the same? I went to listen to music, to appreciate art, do you understand art?" Now the style of Taixu Country has changed a lot, the State Preceptor has learned many new terms.
"Art should not be profaned," the State Preceptor confidently said.
The Taixu Emperor rolled his eyes: "You are profaning art."
The State Preceptor suddenly asked, "But tell me, old Daoist, aren't we becoming shameless?"
The Taixu Emperor's eyes twinkled, and he laughed: "What's there to be shameless about?"
"If our peers in Fengdu knew about this..."
"What would they know? I am originally from Taixu, was in the past, am now, and will be in the future!"
The Taixu Emperor said, "I was just sitting on Tiandu Mountain waiting to die when suddenly a child appeared before me, can I be blamed?"
"So, this became the so-called master-disciple fate in your mouth?" the State Preceptor scoffed.
Yes, the Taixu Country that even the Primordial Qilin couldn't understand is because it is squatting with two Da Luo Supremes.
Taixu is Hong Jun, and the State Preceptor is Yang Mei.
Da Luo Supreme, infinite space-time, eternally at ease, they are waiting for Xuanqing.
All to fulfill the master-disciple fate Hong Jun once spoke of.
"The master-disciple bond of the Primordial True Realm can't be continued, so what's wrong with continuing a master-disciple bond among the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds?"
The Taixu Emperor proudly said: "Tell me if we have a master-disciple relationship."
"If it gets exposed one day, you just wait to be killed by Ah Xuan!" The State Preceptor coldly predicted the Taixu Emperor's fate.
"Let him kill me, after all, this master-disciple relationship has rounded it off for me."
The Taixu Emperor felt quite proud and content as if all was right in the world:
"Besides, Ah Xuan is so well-behaved, could he really commit such a treacherous act? Definitely not!"
The State Preceptor scoffed: "As nice as he is now, you'll be that miserable later, just wait."
"I definitely won't collect your corpse then."
"Hey, don't be like that, corpse collection is still necessary!"
The Taixu Emperor added somewhat sheepishly.
~~~
Shura Realm.
The Shura Emperor looked towards the Xuantai Universe, sensing the nascent cycles being established.
A division of the Underworld is set up here, certainly to complete the grand plan of 'Jiu You Underworld, the haven for all beings'.
The entire Xuantai Universe, the souls of billions of worlds will head to the Underworld for reports, reincarnating and rebirthing.
"Truly worthy of you, always up to something no matter where."
The Shura Emperor sighed, "I originally wanted to get back at you, but alas, Hong Jun beat me to it!"
Who is the Shura Emperor?
Naturally, he is the alternate identity of the Demon Ancestor... known as Wu Luo.
He had specifically staked out Xuanqing, but unexpectedly so had Hong Jun and Yang Mei.
Facing the two of them together, Wu Luo couldn't outcompete them, only managing to snag the unfortunate Ming River.
Who knows how Ming River would face knowing who his father is, and how he will face the Demon Ancestor in the future.
~~~
"Xuanqing, I've sorted out the Karma System!"
When Ming River hurried back to the Jiuyou World, the scene before him shocked him.
"So many souls?"
The moment Ming River entered Jiuyou, he saw souls everywhere, from Ghost Gate all the way to the Reincarnation Platform, myriad spirits drifting around.
King Zhuanlun, with the twenty-four Underworlds, was bustling about, barely keeping up even with countless avatars.
"Our Underworld has just opened; souls from the entire Great Universe have come to support us!"
Wangchuan appeared beside Ming River, cheerfully saying, "Reincarnation has newly opened, and there are still many souls waiting to be reborn, Sister Meng is so busy her hair turned white!"
Ming River looked towards Naihe Bridge, where a white-haired Goddess was distributing Mengpo Soup to the reincarnating spirits.
"Why aren't you busy?" Ming River looked at Wangchuan.
"Who says I'm not!"
Wangchuan pointed towards the Yellow Spring River, "I not only need to open tributaries in the Central Great World, but I also need to go to various Great Thousand Universes, countless worlds to open tributaries of the Soul River!"
"Just let my tributaries cover the entire Great Universe, and then I can lay back and cultivate!"
After saying so, Wangchuan leaped into the Yellow Spring River, using the powers of the River God to extend his tributaries to other worlds.
"Let's go!"
