Chapter 283: What Happened in the Underworld The large-scale purge of Dongsheng Shenzhou has begun. Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion has been operating in Dongsheng Shenzhou with great care. Although this has made Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion's influence in Dongsheng Shenzhou extremely large and deep, it also means that more traces will inevitably be exposed. Moreover, the tree's deep roots mean that it is basically impossible to withdraw in a short period of time. The thunder roared, and the thirty-six thunder generals unfolded their Dharma forms, with silver-fanged phoenix beaks, wings growing from their ribs, and holding thunder nails and thunder hammers. Their huge wings covered the sky and the sun, and together they covered the entire capital of Dong Tang. In the eyes of ordinary people, God is invisible, so they think this is just a slightly violent thunderstorm. But in the eyes of those immortal cultivators, this was undoubtedly a natural disaster. Although the countless thunders were not directed at them, just being within the range was enough to send chills down one's spine. Among them was even the national teacher of the Eastern Tang Kingdom, a great celestial being. The strongest cultivator of the East Tang Kingdom is now hiding in the deep palace. The little emperor, who used to be treated as a child, has now become his life-saving talisman. There is no other reason. Even though those thirty-six thunder generals are only true immortal thunder generals in the Thunder Bureau, it is difficult for them to threaten a great celestial immortal who is bound to the destiny of the country with their own hard power.

But unfortunately, at this moment, these thirty-six thunder generals are fighting on behalf of heaven, and the thunder they control is heavenly thunder, not their own thunder. In this case, it is not a big deal for these thirty-six true immortal thunder generals to kill a celestial immortal. Although the state teacher of Dong Tang Kingdom knew that this big battle was not aimed at him, he still couldn't help feeling nervous. Only by relying on the protection of the emperor's dragon energy did he feel a little safe. After all, all the emperors in the human world are considered believers of Emperor Ziwei and belong to the same unit. The thirty-six thunder generals and three thousand thunder soldiers of the Thunder Department obviously had no intention of targeting the national master, or in other words, all practitioners were not their targets. The thunder that spread across the Dongtang Kingdom had only one target, and that was evil spirits, all the evil spirits hiding in the Dongsheng Shenzhou. No matter whether it belongs to Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion or not, we will just catch them all in one fell swoop. In the country of Dong Tang, bolts of thunder fell from time to time, and every time it fell, wisps of strange black energy that were invisible to mortals would be dispersed. For the Arctic Exorcism Institute, Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion has never been a big problem, it's just that they have never had the time to deal with it. It is precisely because the Three Realms are in turmoil now and the Heavenly Court is extremely constrained that there is room for Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion to develop. Now, it's time to use the Thunder wrist. The three thousand thunder soldiers of the Arctic Exorcism Institute will have no problem clearing the entire Dongsheng Continent, it just takes some time. The Eastern Tang Kingdom is just the beginning. Jiang Lin stood above the sky, stepping on the flowing wind, looking down at the thunder rolling under his feet with a calm expression. Although he received the imperial order, it was Tan Ruo who led the team when it came to the actual cleaning. This was something Jiang Lin had planned long ago. Tan Ruo has already learned a lot of information from the three stars of Fu, Lu and Shou, and the local earth immortals of Dongsheng Shenzhou will no longer be a hindrance after Jiang Lin killed a hundred people. Next, all you have to do is plow the yard and dig the holes. During this process, Jiang Lin did not plan to show up anyway. His Tiancao rank had already risen to the fourth rank. If he went any higher, even if he destroyed one hundred or one thousand Chengxin Ruyi Pavilions, it would not be enough. There is a huge gap between the middle and high-level immortals and the real great gods.

In fact, strictly speaking, Jiang Lin is now a little "unworthy of his position". The "virtue" here refers to strength. Jiang Lin is a fourth-rank celestial being in the realm of celestial immortals, and he is also the key among the key points like the Black Law Department. In the entire heaven, he is the only one. It is foreseeable that Jiang Lin’s Tiancao grade may not be improved at least in the next few thousand years. Unless Jiang Lin can achieve a realm above the Golden Immortal within thousands of years. Only that realm can be regarded as the backbone of heaven and a third-grade great god. By the way, up to now, Jiang Lin only knows the first four realms of the fairyland. First enter the fairyland, then become a true fairy, a celestial fairy, and a golden fairy. Jiang Lin had no idea what the realm above the Golden Immortal was called. He asked Wei Fazu, but the old man just shook his head and said nothing. He also asked the old man, but he was slapped on the head and accused of being too ambitious. Even within the inheritance that Jiang Lin accepted, whether it was the previous Beidi Black Law or the current Ziwei Law, there was no record of it. It seems that the realm above the Golden Immortal has a lot of secrets. At least before I can truly come into contact with it, no elder will help me to understand it. Although I know this is for my own good, I am really curious... Jiang Lin was thinking about these messy things in his mind, when suddenly his expression changed and he raised his eyes to look towards the higher sky. An immortal wearing a black feather robe, a tall crown and a wide belt came riding on a beam of light and arrived in front of Jiang Lin. The immortal had a cold and hard face that said "keep away from strangers", as if everyone owed him eight thousand yuan. Jiang Lin knew that the immortals and gods who came out of that place were generally like this, and they always handled things in a businesslike manner. "I am Wang Chenchong, the sixth-rank imperial envoy of the Divine Sky Jade Pivot Nine Heavens Yingyuan Palace. I greet the Master." The immortal saluted with a stern face and meticulous etiquette. Jiang Lin nodded, bowed in return, and then waited for the other party's next words. "I am here to ask you, following the order of the Divine Sky Jade Pivot, how long will it take to complete the task of clearing out the Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion in Dongsheng Shenzhou?" He did not ask whether there were any troubles or obstacles or any other nonsense. If there really were, the first thing Wang Chenchong would do was to impeach the Arctic Exorcism Institute for neglecting martial arts, thus damaging the prestige of heaven. "About seven days." Jiang Lin thought for a moment and replied. Dongsheng Shenzhou is very big, but because of its size, no matter how much Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion operates, it is impossible to cover the entire Dongsheng Shenzhou. Although Jiang Lin's clearance takes time, he will never be able to defeat his enemies after sweeping the land. "Yes." Wang Chenchong nodded, and then continued expressionlessly, as if reading from a script: "In Northern Juluzhou, our Shenxiao Yushu has issued an order to dispatch the Thunder Department's heavenly soldiers, and they will soon wipe out Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion's traces." "In Xiniu Hezhou, True Lord Yang has sent a decree to Lingshan under Lingxiao's order, ordering the eight divisions of Buddhist celestial dragons to come out of the mountain and cleanse Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion." "It will take about five days to reach these two continents. The progress here, Master, is a little slow." Upon hearing this, Jiang Lin asked in a similarly indifferent tone, "Is this a reprimand?" "No, just report it truthfully." Wang Chenchong shook his head slightly and said, "The situation in Dongsheng Shenzhou is the most complicated. Seven days has exceeded the expectations of the staff of Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion. However, if possible, please ask the master to be faster and use three methods to end it together. It would be most appropriate."

"Not too possible." Jiang Lin shook his head slightly and said, "The Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion in Dongsheng Shenzhou is under the personal command of the chief pavilion master. If the Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion had not been completely destroyed, this evil spirit would not have appeared." "Seven days, no less." Wang Chenchong heard this and silently took note of it, then said, "Master, I will report your words truthfully." Seeing Jiang Lin nod, he relaxed a little and bowed again, saying, "It's just business, Master, please don't blame me." "will not." Jiang Lin nodded in understanding. The visit of this Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion just now seemed to be urging and even a little condescending, but it was not like that. This is a fixed process. When your superiors assign you to do something, they need to know your progress so that they can keep records of it. No matter whether the progress is fast or slow, there must always be a specific explanation. Wang Chen rushed down to do this. "This matter is over, I will take my leave." Wang Chenchong heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that this was the first time that Jiang Lin went through this process, and as an inquiring person from a higher-level faction, it was impossible for him to speak in a gentle and warm voice. He was really a little afraid that his impartial handling of the matter would arouse the arrogance of this young master. If I make things awkward for everyone, I will definitely be in trouble when I go back. Fortunately, this young master Jiang is sensible. Wang Chenchong thought to himself, and after bowing again, his figure slowly disappeared. Jiang Lin watched him leave, and his eyes fell on the Dongtang Kingdom below again. The thunder generals moved quickly, and in a short while, they had almost cleared the area. There is nothing much to say next. Tan Ruo will lead the team to sweep the entire Dongsheng Shenzhou and that will be the end of the job. Just as Jiang Lin said just now, the Pavilion Master of Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion would not be able to show up before the entire Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion was destroyed. In other words, cleaning out the entire Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion is just to force out this pavilion master. At this moment, Jiang Lin's expression suddenly changed. He thought of Yu Jun, the deputy leader who managed the Southern Continent, whose true form was a hungry ghost in the hungry ghost realm. Originally, Jiang Lin thought that Wei Fazu and Fengdu must have known about this matter, but they did not deal with it for some reason. But if you add what Monkey Brother just said... Hmm... now it seems... This is the reason... Jiang Lin thought about it and put the two clues together. He couldn't help but frown. If it was really as he guessed, then there might really be changes in the underworld.

What Jiang Lin couldn’t understand was, how dare they do that? Start the six realms of reincarnation? Do you really think that following the example of the Heaven and Earth God is fake? The emperor said that he would not care about the matter, but if there were really problems in the six realms of reincarnation, people would know why Hou Tu and Huang Dizhi were able to be among the Four Emperors. Jiang Lin really didn’t understand, which was why he never thought there would be any possibility of major changes in the underworld. For the underworld, the foundation of the three realms, it would not be a problem even if the Ten Kings of Hell suddenly died today, the Five Ghost Emperors disappeared, and the Ten Ghost Kings rose up in rebellion. As long as the six realms of reincarnation exist, everything else is trivial. Because the six realms of reincarnation are the most stable foundation of the underworld, and this foundation is guarded by Hou Tu Huang Di Ji, so it is absolutely safe! Can…… The more Jiang Lin thought about it, the more confused he became. He only came to his senses when he saw the thirty-six Thunder Generals leading a group of Thunder Soldiers to the next country for cleanup. Seeing Tan Ruo was about to fly over, Jiang Lin shook his head slightly and said in a voice transmission: "You should lead the team and clean up the entire Dongsheng Shenzhou. I have some things to take care of." Upon hearing this, Tan Ruo immediately stopped talking. Without asking any further questions, he just nodded and disappeared. Jiang Lin watched her leave, then he moved and fell straight down. Before the free fall lasted any longer, a dark evil aura suddenly burst out from under Jiang Lin's feet, suddenly condensed, and then spread out, turning into a pitch-black hole, as if a well had been opened in the sky. Jiang Lin fell directly into it and disappeared without a trace. When Jiang Lin appeared again, what he saw before him was no longer the sky of the human world, but the underworld of the underworld. The tone of the underworld is always dark. Not to mention the sun, even a little dark green ghost light is a rare light. Because for ghosts, light is not a necessity, but a burden. This is not a place suitable for living. The place where Jiang Lin appeared was not the underworld in the center of the underworld, nor was it Fengdu behind the underworld. The underworld is very big, from the Ghost Gate to Fengdu, and then to the Six Paths of Reincarnation. The size of this entire system of reincarnation is at most a sesame seed on the watermelon of the underworld. Not all ghosts can be reincarnated, not all ghosts can be reincarnated into the human world, and not all ghosts can successfully reach the gates of hell. There are also towns, kingdoms, fiefdoms, and people in the underworld. It’s just that the people here are just ghosts, and although ghosts have no lifespan in the underworld, their spirituality will decline. Spirituality is the basis of the existence of ghosts, and the time of their natural decline is an astronomical figure for ordinary people on earth. But every move of the ghost consumes its spirituality. When the spirituality is exhausted, only a meaningless true spirit remains, which exists as the foundation of the soul. The underworld does not have strict restrictions that ghosts must be reincarnated. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to reincarnate, because some ghosts want to reincarnate. It doesn’t matter if you want to live a different kind of life in the underworld and enjoy the longer “lifespan” of ghosts, because when you “die” anyway, your true soul will still return to the six realms of reincarnation. As for the longer period of time that ghosts exist, it is just a drop in the bucket for the underworld. This thing also depends on comparison.

Jiang Lin looked around and found that there seemed to be many buildings in the distance. It was a town in the underworld. Jiang Lin thought about it and walked over. If there are really changes in the underworld, then let's take a look at the details first. If there are abnormalities even in the smallest details, it proves that this matter is very big, extremely big. If everything is normal, it means that everything is fine, even if there are undercurrents, they are only limited to a certain level. The hungry ghosts from the hungry ghost realm appeared in the human world. With Monkey King’s reminder, Marshal Tianpeng suddenly issued an order to wipe out the entire Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion. Putting all these things together, Jiang Lin couldn't help but think about it. Jiang Lin knew very well that Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion did not exist just as a white glove for the fight between two groups of bastards in heaven. As for the specific details, we still have to explore it slowly. Jiang Lin walked while thinking, and arrived at the archway of this ghost town. An old man with brisk steps rushed over, his eyes were clear and spiritual, and it was obvious that he was a new ghost who had died not long ago. On the stone pier in front of the archway, there sat a little boy with a pigtail hairpin, sitting there quietly, staring with lifeless and dim eyes, exuding an air of decay. This is an old ghost, and its spirituality as a ghost has almost been exhausted. In the underworld, a ghost’s “age” has nothing to do with his appearance. 'Bang! Bang! Bang!' At this moment, there was a sudden sound of clappers, like a signal. After three clappers sounded, there were waves of "joy". Of course, this is for ghosts, but to Jiang Lin’s ears, it was undoubtedly the “ghost sound”. There are disadvantages to being a "nail house" in the underworld. Compared with humans, the five senses of these ghosts have been greatly weakened. This means that they cannot easily experience certain feelings they had in life. The same goes for music. If you want ghosts to hear it easily and think it sounds good, you have to use some powerful music. So, if you hear very strange and shrill ghost cries one day, please don’t panic. The ghost may be singing. Perhaps the ghost making the sound is a very popular singer in the underworld. Generally speaking, if one wants to perceive this kind of timbre and let ghosts hear it, the singer has to consume his spiritual energy, which is simply called "playing with one's life." It's a huge investment. Jiang Lin looked over with great interest, and saw two rows of ladies in white slowly approaching from a distance. Each of them wore a fox-like half-mask on their face, and held a white palace lantern in their hands. On the lantern, a "囍" character was written in black font. Behind the two rows of ladies in white was a flowery white sedan chair carried by four strong men. On both sides of the sedan chair, there was a black "囍" character. Jiang Lin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Am I getting married to a ghost?
