Ming River's Dao Heart faced a severe challenge.
Despite having faced countless deaths, he considered himself well-experienced.
However, Xuanqing always managed to expand Ming River's horizons in some bizarre ways.
"Relax, relax."
"Isn't it just the Soul Hook? Don't worry about how it hooks souls, as long as it works."
Xuanqing sat astride the mighty Five-Colored Lion, turning his head to look at the incredulous Ming River, laughing, "Look around, our achievements in battle are remarkable!"
"These Divine Weapons and Divine Generals, Spiritual Beasts and ferocious birds, all prostrate at your feet, submitting to your rule."
Ming River's face darkened, and his lips trembled with anger: "I'd rather not have such achievements!"
He is a proper god.
Even if he is to gather gods and subjects,
They definitely should not be underlings subdued by coercion!
Ming River looked around at each creature that had been 'hooked', several times he thought about throwing away the trash in his hand, but ultimately he did not act.
Xuanqing was right; at the very least, the Soul Hook was very useful against enemies.
Now in this battlefield of gods and demons, their priority should be to stay alive.
"Come here, you, come here."
Xuanqing searched for a while, and found a cowering black fox in the starry sky.
"Brother Bai, don't hit me, don't hit me!"
"We are from the same hometown!"
The Black Fox saw Xuanqing raising the Mourning Stick, and he slid on his knees from one side of the galaxy to the other.
Like a meteor streaking across the starry sky.
With a splash, the Black Fox knelt in front of the Five-Colored Lion.
The movement was fluid, crisp, and clean.
"Brother Bai, when the troops were deploying, we all gathered for a farewell feast; we've met before!"
The Black Fox clung to the Five-Colored Lion's leg, looking up at Xuanqing with eager eyes, "Brother Bai, do you remember me?"
"I am Hu Shisan!"
Xuanqing thought, memories flooding his mind: "Black Fox City, the thirteenth-generation solo-disciple, Hu Shisan?"
Hu Shisan was overjoyed.
Feeling fortunate, he quietly corrected, "It's Black Fox City's thirteenth-generation solo-disciple."
"Although each generation of Black Fox City only accepts one disciple, and because of the necessity to maintain a Pure Yang Body due to practicing the Black Fox Treasure Book…"
His voice got lower as he explained,
His head inevitably drooped, and his eyes lost their luster.
"Alright, I'm single."
Xuanqing looked at the dejected Hu Shisan and smiled.
He and the Divine General inhabited by Ming River were indeed from the same hometown.
They both came from the seventeenth star domain of the Black Dao—the Golden Que Star Domain, Shenming Star.
This body Xuanqing inhabited was called Bai Wudi, the foremost Divine General of Heavenly Boat City on Shenming Star.
The one inhabited by Ming River was called Fan Wujiu, the foremost Divine General of Fengge City on Shenming Star.
"Master, Master..."
"Don't go, Master!"
"Slurp slurp!"
At that moment, the twisted creatures of the Black and White Lists crawled towards Ming River.
Ming River's eyelids twitched, his face cold: "Thirteen, you know the Sealing Technique, right? Help me tie them all up!"
"Alright!"
Hu Shisan immediately perked up, plucked a handful of Fox Fur, and transformed it into the Binding God Rope.
All the hundred or so Divine Generals and their spiritual mounts on the battlefield were securely bound in an instant.
"Brother Bai, some of these Divine Generals are from our Black Dao, shall we release them?"
Hu Shisan pointed towards a few of the bound creatures.
"Check if there are any creatures from Shenming Star," Xuanqing asked.
"There aren't."
Hu Shisan said mournfully, "Of the thirty Divine Generals who departed from Shenming Star, only the three of us are left."
"If it weren't for Brother Bai's desperate breakthrough, we would have all died here."
"If there are no fellow countrymen, then just keep them tied up," Xuanqing looked around at the situation on various battlefields while searching for the figure of Ruo Xi.
"Let their backing forces come and redeem them later."
Hu Shisan was shocked, "Brother Bai, are you taking up the old trade of being a Gods Seller again?!"
"This is a god-demon battlefield!"
"What if..."
Hu Shisan looked anxious, Bai Wudi and Fan Wujiu didn't have a good reputation on Shenming Star.
This very act is because they have done many unethical things in the old days, and trading divine beings is one of them.
"What Gods Seller, sounds so unpleasant!"
Xuanqing said, "We have, after all, saved these fellows' lives this time, so what's wrong with wanting some compensation?"
"How could we work for nothing?"
"But..." Hu Shisan hesitated, aren't all the creatures on this battlefield overturned by you?
"Alright, let's not dwell on these things. When we get the ransom, I'll give you thirty percent."
Xuanqing picked up two gourds from the battlefield, refined them on the spot, and casually tossed them to Hu Shisan.
"The creatures of the Black Dao go into the large gourd, and those of the White Dao go into the small gourd."
"Let's see if anyone is willing to buy them after this phase of the battle is over."
Aren't you still wanting to be a Gods Seller... Hu Shisan held the gourds, obediently stuffing people inside as per Xuanqing's instructions.
Just now, Xuanqing mentioned splitting the earnings with him.
Ming River then collected all the divine weapons left on the battlefield.
He picked two suitable Killing Swords.
Soul Hook, whoever wants to use it can have it!
Anyway, I'm not going to use it again.
"Found Ruoxi, let's go."
Xuanqing communicated with Ming River.
Hu Shisan hurriedly followed.
"Bai Wudi, Fan Wujiu."
Hu Shisan, holding two gourds, said, "You've defeated so many White Dao Divine Generals this time and suppressed some Black Dao Divine Generals."
"The Qi Fortune of our Shenming Star will definitely surge because of this!"
"Your rankings on the Black Dao newcomers' list will inevitably rise."
Hu Shisan smiled, "Maybe I can even get a boost from your achievements, and my rank might advance a few places too!"
"Maybe."
Xuanqing was nonchalant.
Aside from the Black and White List, there was also a newcomers' list.
The two had rankings on the Black Dao newcomers' list.
Bai Wudi was ranked seven thousand six hundred forty-one.
Fan Wujiu was ranked seven thousand seven hundred thirteen.
He sat cross-legged on the Five-Colored Lion, trying his best to heal the injuries of this body.
Ming River, meanwhile, used his Divine Skills to avoid attracting the attention of the Heavenly Monarchs above.
And Hu Shisan, whether nervous or just naturally verbose,
talked a lot along the way.
Mainly about "Qi Fortune" and "Black List ranking."
Xuanqing browsed through Bai Wudi's memories and found that many great events of the Yin Yang Universe were related to these two topics.
In the Ancient Epoch, the development of the Yin Yang Universe was quite harmonious.
The endless Star Sea was independent, the interactions between major Star Domains were scarce, and everyone minded their business.
There were no Heavenly Monarch-level creatures then, the highest Cultivation was only the Heavenly God Realm, which are now the Divine Generals.
There was no Black Dao or White Dao either.
But somehow, from a certain point, two lists appeared in the Yin Yang Universe.
They are the Black and White Lists.
The Black and White Lists, being Qi Fortune Divine Artifacts, divided the Yin Yang Universe into Black and White Dao.
Every creature on these lists would receive a boost from the universe's Qi Fortune.
The higher the rank, the more Qi Fortune they received.
And the rankings are changeable.
Creatures on the White List could improve their own ranking by defeating or hunting those higher-ranked on the Black List, thus obtaining more Qi Fortune.
And vice versa for the Black List.
When this was discovered, all creatures in the universe went mad.
Thus began the Slaughter Epoch.
In this Epoch, countless creatures of the Black and White Dao were dragged into endless slaughters.
Until the simultaneous emergence of the first Heavenly Monarch from both sides.
The two Heavenly Monarchs ended the chaos and established the rules.
Every hundred thousand years, both Dao would initiate calamities, engaging in a great God Demon war for Qi Fortune.
They allowed peaceful development within these hundred thousand years, permitting a certain degree of friction.
Thus, the Yin Yang Universe entered the Age of Tribulation.
Whenever a great calamity commenced, it was a time of chaos in Yin Yang, when Black and White reversed.
The current Yin Yang Universe was in the midst of such a great calamity.
