Chapter 238: Descending into the Ghost Realm

A strong cultivator at the fifth level of the Divine realm was effortlessly obliterated by Immortal Huotai with the flick of a finger.
At this moment, Immortal Huotai sat on a high platform, scanning the crowd below with his eyes, and his gaze landed on the Duke of Chu:
"Do you not wish to know how the people in your family could achieve immortality?"
At this point, Huotai Xian took out the list of immortals from his sleeve and said, "The mighty Zhou dynasty is about to wage war against the four seas and the vast wilderness in order to achieve unification. Three days from now, the Zhou dynasty will build the Immortal Sealing Platform. All those who die in battle during the expedition will be listed on the list of immortals and receive amnesty. Depending on the size of their military accomplishments, those listed on the immortal list will achieve immortality. All the subjects and citizens of the Zhou dynasty, as long as they are brave and kill enemies, can be listed on the immortal list."
With the words of Huotai Xian echoing, the hall suddenly fell into a deathly silence. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the Divine Ranking, showing expressions of shock, intense gaze, and disbelief.
Huo Tai Xian's corners of the mouth curled up, and his eyes swept over the people in the hall: "Anyone who is loyal to our Great Zhou and wholeheartedly fights the enemy for our Great Zhou can be listed in the Divine Enfeoffment Tablet and receive the ultimate pardon."
As the words of Huotai Xian fell, the entire hall was filled with shock, and even the ministers who were originally eating peaches had their eyes light up one by one: "Great Grandmaster, as long as we are on this list, we can live forever? Do we still need to eat peaches?"
"Of course not. As long as the Divine List is not destroyed, I can live as long as Heaven and Earth." Fairy Huotai chuckled.
Hearing Fairy Huotai's words, Duke Chu couldn't help but ask, "Master Huo, can we be included in the list?"
"Of course, it can." Huo Tai Xian said.
"Do you know any disadvantages of the God List?" Duke Chu's eyes were burning as he looked at Huo Tai Xian.
Huo Tai Xian smiled and said, "Once you are on the God List, your life and death are completely controlled by others. Is that considered a disadvantage?"
"Of course not!" Under the gaze of Hou Tai Xian, Duke Chu Guo quickly lowered his head, his eyes showing a touch of awe.
Hou Tai Xian's lips curved, and a smile appeared in his eyes as he turned to look at Duke Qi Huan Gong in the crowd. "The task of constructing the Feng Shen Terrace shall be entrusted to Duke Qi Huan Gong."
"I receive the order," said Duke Huan of Qi, his face filled with excitement as he quickly stepped forward to respectfully take the Divine Ranking List.
"Let the Peach Banquet begin! All of you will join me in achieving immortality. Next, we will conquer the vast wilderness and the Four Seas. The thirty thousand gods of the Divine Land will continuously transport resources and relieve you of any concerns," proclaimed Huo Tai Xian, raising a peach in his hand. "To the prosperity of Great Zhou!"
"To celebrate the greatness of Da Zhou!"
"To celebrate the greatness of Da Zhou!"
"To celebrate the greatness of Da Zhou!"
At this moment, all the heroes raised their peach blossoms, their eyes filled with fanaticism.
Huo Tai Xian nodded in satisfaction when he saw this.
An extravagant feast with peaches of immortality proved to the world that longevity was real. With the presence of the ranking of gods, as long as one conquered the Great Wilderness, they could obtain the achievements of immortality and eternal life. This news shook the world once it spread.
Countless civilians have signed up to join the army, and the major warlords are also eager to go. Then, an army of trillions marched towards the wilderness.
Fierce and fearless!
Brave and fearless!
Countless armies even fought to the death against the monster army, killing them and causing them to retreat.
The human army is like waves, with each wave dying and being replaced, countless armies rushing forward, countless human soldiers buried in the wilderness, but no one cares.
Going crazy!
And accompanied by the amnesty of being promoted to heavenly soldiers, countless soldiers joyfully resurrected inside the God List and joined the battlefield, inspiring countless human soldiers.
Everyone knows, this is a great era!
Belongs to the human race era!
A great eternal era is coming.
Once the great era is over, there will be no more opportunities for becoming gods in the world.
In the future, when the world is peaceful, it will be difficult to achieve godhood.
Difficult!
Everyone knows that opportunities don't come easily.
Countless people are now taking to the streets, heading straight to the military, clamoring to sign up to kill the demon race.
Dazhou
On the terrace
Huotai Xian stood in front of the railings, with a pair of eyes looking towards the sky above Dazhou. The destiny that had been missing for two thousand five hundred years was already replenished at some unknown time.
The Great Zhou's fortune is not only complete, but also unprecedentedly prosperous.
"How is it?" Huo Tai Xian's eyes showed a trace of pride.
"We are not on par." The voice of the Great Zhou Ancestor was full of emotion: "The world is unified."
"No, it is only the reunification of China. It is still far from unifying the world," said Huo Tai Xian, looking into the distance.
"In less than ten years, the world will surely be unified. The Human race's celestial soldiers are endless, how can the Demon and Sea races withstand them? Sooner or later, they will have to submit and surrender," exclaimed Da Zhou Lao Zu, his eyes filled with excitement.
With the unification of Da Zhou, the Qi energy of the land has grown stronger, making it easier for the people of Shenzhou to break through their cultivation.
"Only our human race is eternal and indestructible." Huo Tai Xian's eyes revealed a touch of fanaticism.
The qi of the land of Shenzhou rises as clouds and mist, and blood flows like rivers beneath the land of Shenzhou.
There are humans, as well as demons.
Time passes in the blink of an eye, and ten years seems like a dream.
With the relentless efforts of the human race, the wilderness was flattened, and countless artists suppressed the four seas. The vast and boundless qi gathered, and at the same time, sculptures of Huotai Xian spread throughout Da Zhou and the entire land of China.
Countless fortunes are piled up in front of Huotai Xian, and at this moment, there is a huge golden halo flashing behind Huotai Xian, just like the legendary ancient god and Buddha coming to the world.
"Just how strong are sages? Many people know that sages are very powerful, but they don't have a concept." Huotai Xian stood in the Shengtian Painting Studio, looking up at the sky: "The accumulated decade of Qi throughout the entire painting realm is only enough for me to paint one scroll of the Sage Path."
注意，只是一尊圣道图卷，而不是圣人画卷。
Huo Tai Xian used his brush to draw a holy road scroll in front of him, and then casually collected the scroll into his body. He looked towards the underworld world.
In the Yincao world, there is a pair of eyes that can gaze at oneself across the two boundary barriers, connecting the mortal and the afterlife.
"The realm of painting! What a mysterious world."
Huo Tai Xian paused for a moment, and at this time, Guiling Holy Mother approached Huo Tai Xian and said, "The genius treasures from heaven and earth that you have prepared are ready."
Saying this, he handed over a scroll: "All treasures are sealed inside this scroll."
Huo Tai Xian, upon hearing this, raised a corner of his mouth and a mischievous smile appeared in his eyes: "Master, why don't you ascend to the God Ranking? "
"Hmph, your list of gods doesn't seem like much fun. Besides, with you around, can I still get away with eating my peaches?" Turtle Spirit pouted.
Hearing Turtle Spirit's words, Huotai Xian smiled and asked, "How are the Dragon Clan in the Four Seas doing?"
"What else can we do? Faced with a group of invincible and disrespectful heavenly soldiers and generals, anyone who refuses to submit will be killed." Gui Ling looked at Hou Tai Xian, asking, "How do you plan to deal with the Four Seas?"
"As long as my destiny remains stable, the world will still be the world in the future. With the Fengshen Bang, the world cannot be overturned." Huotai Xian raised his head: "On the contrary, Yincao is the greatest enemy of the human race."
"Are you really going to confront the Lord of Ghosts? The Lord of Ghosts is trapped in the ghost realm and cannot come out at all. Why would you take such risks? The entire realm of the dead belongs to the Lord of Ghosts, so you must not act recklessly," Turtle Spirit Mother hurriedly advised.
Huo Tai Xian smiled and said: "Master, what do you think I unified the world of painting for?"
Turtle Spirit was stunned by the words.
"If I don't recover the Ghost Realm, I won't be able to refine the entire world of painting, become the master of the painting world, and find the legendary source of the Heavenly Realm." Huo Tai Xian looked at Turtle Spirit and said, "I want to go and see the Heavenly Realm, meet with the various saints of the Heavenly Realm."
The Turtle Spirit fell silent upon hearing this, and only after a while did it suddenly say, "Actually, I also want to go and take a look. But the Lord of Ghosts has been causing trouble for a long time, and the Ghost Realm is his turf."
"So what? Six and a half is still six and a half, and a sage is still a sage. Everything below a sage is mere ants." Huotai Xian looked towards the Ghost Realm in the distant darkness, and it seemed that the Lord of Ghosts sensed his gaze as a reckless and defiant laughter emerged from beneath his black robe:
"I'll wait for you in the world of death!"
"...I'll wait for you!"
The Ghost Lord laughed maniacally.
Huo Tai Xian saw the Ghost Lord's smile, but he felt that it seemed a bit hollow.
Huo Taixian glanced at Turtle Spirit Holy Mother and said, "I want to go to the Ghost Realm and try my luck. If I win, I will assimilate the Ghost Realm; if I lose, I will return."
"The current unity of the Painting Realm cannot be considered stable. Do you know what consequences it will have if you perish? The entire Painting Realm will once again plunge into unprecedented darkness and chaos. Countless immortal monsters will wreak havoc on the world," Turtle Spirit repeatedly dissuaded.
"So I will not die! Never will I die!" Huotai Xian smiled, took a step forward, and next thing he knew, he was already in the southwest."
Looking at the two realm barriers in the sky of the southwest region, Huotai Xian was surrounded by Buddha light. With a palm stretched out, the realm barriers were like fragile white paper being pierced, and a vast and overwhelming gloomy aura poured out. The Buddha light around Huotai Xian grew brighter and brighter.
"You're here!"
The ghost leader stood at the other end of the world of death, his eyes fixed on Huotai Xian, filled with a murderous intent: "Once I kill you, I can seize everything from you, including your ten-year layout of the painting realm."
"Is that so?" Huo Tai Xian's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. "You have already made it onto the list of deities, but you don't seriously think you stand a chance against me, do you?"
"How would you know if you don't give it a try?" Ghost Lord replied confidently.
Huotai Xian took a step forward, and a bright Buddhist light shone around him, and countless ghosts and monsters were converted as he passed.
After seven steps, he had entered the realm of death.
"A very strange world, it seems to be missing something." Huotai Xian looked up at the laws of the realm of death and did not rush to take action.
Huo Tai Xian did not rush to make a move, and Gui Zhu naturally did not rush to make a move: "Of course, your reincarnation law is missing. If I can obtain your reincarnation law, I can immediately prove the holy path, and then use the reincarnation law to invade the heavenly realm and successfully merge with the heavenly realm."
The voice of the Ghost Lord is full of regret: "It's a pity that such an incredible scroll has fallen into the hands of someone like you. The Cycle of Six Paths may be dispensable to you, but for me, it is equivalent to the key to achieving enlightenment."
"So, I must obtain the Six Paths of Reincarnation Diagram!"
