Chapter 16: The Heavens and Worlds

The world is endless, and in the snap of a finger, how many years of red dust are like passing clouds.

Since the great god Pangu opened the world, broke the Hongmeng, and created a prosperous world, all things in the world have followed the control of the way of heaven. Tao is an ethereal, but real being, which is formless and traceless, but omnipresent. The principles of the birth and death of all things in heaven and earth are all attributed to the Tao and nature.

Although the existence of the Tao is elusive, it undoubtedly dominates everything in this real world, just as the heavens and the earth settle because of turbidity, and the mountains and seas divide according to the current situation. It is unfathomable, all-encompassing, and seems to be like the sect of all things.

In this world, the Tao is natural, and it is nurtured. However, people have spirituality, dawn rises, day is ambush, tranquil and leisurely, walk with the sky, and understand the way of creation. Therefore, today, all living beings in the world have comprehended the method of cultivation and have been able to 'uphold the righteousness of heaven and earth, and resist the argument of the six qis'.

However, after all, people are hidden in the five elements of heaven and earth, and even if they use the method of cultivating the truth to increase their longevity, they will inevitably have the end of their fate. When a person passes away, his soul will escape into the netherworld and re-enter the ancient path of reincarnation, and be reborn in the worldly realm.

However, there is a very small number of people, they have gone through the tribulation, the Tao is mysterious, after penetrating the avenue, they were ordered by the emperor of heaven, soaring clouds for millions of miles, straight to the gate of heaven, in the divine realm, ordered to be enshrined as gods, guarding the beings of the Three Realms. At ease, no disease.

Such immortals can break free from the shackles of the five elements, live with heaven and earth, immortal and immortal, and the soul will live forever, which is the enlightenment of the immortal family.

Within the Three Realms, there has been peace and quiet for more than a thousand years, but since that catastrophe from the human world, this stable situation has been broken. It turned out that in the human world, there was a cultivator who was a genius in the sky, this person cultivated, and the power of the ancients was inexplicable, at that time, the Three Realms shook, Kyushu overturned, and the gate connecting the Three Realms was opened because of the advent of this catastrophe of heaven and earth.

Originally, the connecting path between the Three Realms was originally maintained by a relative constancy in the underworld, and no one in the Divine Realm could leave his post without permission. Therefore, people and ghosts cannot see the true appearance of the gods, and if the human world wants to lead to the ghost world, it must pass through a gate of hell, which exists in the world when the heaven and earth are opened, and no one knows the way to open it.

In the catastrophe a hundred years ago, this initiator collected five treasures of heaven and earth, Pangu Subtlety, and liberated the gate of hell with the power of ancient secret methods, and even obtained the divine power of the source of darkness - the Netherworld God, in an attempt to destroy the entire Three Realms, and there is no rival in the world.

However, the battle related to the fate of heaven and earth was lost by him after all, and the Netherworld God was sealed in the world by the power of the world, and the Three Realms returned to stability.

However, the gate of hell, after the Nether God was sealed, was still not closed, and originally, the key to open it was only the five 'Pangu Subtles'. It's just that when the Netherworld God was born, those five Pangu subtle but with their own spiritual sense, disappeared together between this heaven and earth, and they didn't know where they went.

But he said that the ghost world, the earth is in the abyss of the underworld. Since ancient times, the heavenly realm is above the human realm, according to the number of Tiangang, it is divided into thirty-six heavenly domains, and the ghost world is yin, so it is divided into seventy-two layers of ghost domains according to the number of earthly evils.

These seventy-two ghost realms are deep and vast, and they are so vast that even the ghost king who commands the entire ghost realm cannot be known. In the entire realm of this ghost realm, even those twenty powerful ghost kings are only in charge of the top twenty realms, and among these twenty realms, there are eighteen realms that are the 'eighteen layers of hell' that are legendary in the human world. The other two are the reincarnation realm and the Yama realm, the reincarnation realm is the place where the soul is reincarnated, and the Yama realm is home to countless immortal and immortal ghost pawns who serve as enforcers of the ghost realm.

The remaining fifty-two realms are in the deepest part of the ghost realm, and are collectively called the 'Senluo Forbidden Domain' by the ghost realm, according to the people of the ghost realm, in that unknown realm, the plague is rampant, and there is no grass, only boundless darkness, because there is an abyss of despair and fear.

In the ghost world, it is a barbaric country, the demons and ghosts who are sealed in it intermarry each other, so as to multiply, and at the same time inherit their tyrannical and bloodthirsty demon nature, demons like to eat people, taste the gate of hell to spy on the prosperity of the human world, but also think about the sweetness of flesh and blood, so use the power of this gate of hell, through the gate of hell, swallow mortals to the ghost world, to satisfy the appetite of the stomach.

However, the power of the Gate of Hell is mysterious, far beyond the control of demons, although most of the mortals who were devoured were caught by them, but the teleportation of the Gate of Hell was not satisfactory, those who were devoured, many of them were swallowed into the ghost world, and they were nowhere to be found, the seventy-two realms of the ghost world, vast and vast, and I don't know where these people were swallowed by the gate of hell.

......

Above the distant sky, there was a streamer, fleeting, piercing the white clouds of the clear sky and sweeping across the endless vast land.

Pitching up the sky, the clouds are on the side, sending a slow and refreshing, the breeze blows over the mountains, a wash of dry branches, showing the leisurely green, on the ancient road in the distance, there are wild flowers quietly blooming, quiet and beautiful, like poetry and painting.

The overlapping mountains are like the dragon churning on the earth's veins, rising and hiding in the vast and boundless land of Zhongzhou, guiding the direction of progress for the people of the past and present, and between the beautiful mountains and rivers, I don't know how many elegant gentlemen, because of their love for their Zhongxiu and linger here for a long time, and even forget to abandon the world, and return to seclusion.

At the end of the mountains, a hundred years ago, there used to be a prosperous city called Black Moon City, but now, Black Moon City has been lost to time with that huge catastrophe, and now there is only a ruin left behind after being destroyed.

The man was still dressed in coarse cloth, but there were a few more gray hairs on his sideburns. A hundred years of time, time is like a passing water, he has a sword, roaming the world alone, the original handsome face has also added a few times of dust, although there is a fine wine to accompany it, but the time has been long, but it has added to the loneliness.

It is said that life is short, but this man, his fate is bumpy, a body ups and downs between morning and twilight, and there are several life and death partings, even if it is the cultivation of the world, the wine is sad, recalling this ups and downs of life, it is only like a dream, when the wine wakes up, although the candle is bright, but how can he understand, his life of joy and sorrow.

The ancient sword in the box groaned softly, as if a gentle woman gently took his hand and accompanied him through the glitz and bumps in the red dust.

The man walked through the quiet and empty valley and waded through the surging river, and it finally dawned on him that it was the ruins of an ancient city shrouded in a blood-colored mist, and the ground near this place was full of cracks.

According to legend, a hundred years ago, there was a cult called 'Lunatic Cult', this Black Moon City was built by the Lunatic Cult after several generations of sect leaders mobilized manpower and material resources, and they did not commit any crimes against the people in the city, and all this illusion is to sacrifice the lives and blood of all the people in the city to the evil god they revere - the Nether God when the gate of hell is opened.

The blood-colored mist filled the sky above the ruins of Black Moon City, and in the center of the mist, there was a hazy blood light flickering in it, just like Shura's eyes, and in that blood-red mist, there were countless tentacle-like clouds, which were extremely terrifying.

Seeing the center of the mist, the looming blood-colored light, the man's brows were also furrowed, the core of the blood-colored mist, is the gate of hell, he had witnessed how the gate of hell opened, and the entire Black Moon City was caused by a tragedy in the world, and the infamous Lunatic Cult also got the final evil retribution.

He looked at the tentacles that were constantly dancing in the blood mist, they also sensed the breath of the living at this moment, and spread a net of fear to all around, these mist were formless and incorporeal, sweeping in all directions, like a monstrous wave, wanting to swallow this small man in one bite!

The next moment, the man was drowned in a sea of blood, and countless tentacles attacked in all directions, but they were never within three feet of the man!

I saw that at the center of his eyebrows, a golden light was like substance, in the silence, shining brightly, like the brightest star in the endless universe, the infinite tentacles that poked out of these mist, as long as they approached this man, they would be pierced by the golden divine light, and in the miserable fog, many tentacles were afraid, but they made other moves.

I saw that in the fog around me, the door was wide open, and countless resentful spirits held swords, covering the sky and the sun, these resentful spirits were originally the unjust souls who had been wandering here for hundreds of years, and were affected by the power of the gate of hell, and turned into fierce spirits who only knew how to kill, and these fierce spirits carried the miserable wind and mist and killed the men on the ground together without fear of death.

The man faced the overwhelming evil spirits, but there was no panicked look in his eyes, only to see him from behind, slowly pulled out a cold ancient sword, this ancient sword out of the sheath at first glance, the sky and the earth changed color, the wind howled, now although it is a long summer, but for some reason, between the heaven and the earth, there is pure white snow.

The ancient sword is four feet long, the cold sword body seems to be cast by blue ice, the hilt is exquisite, the structure of the whole sword is ingenious, and there are three long-lost oracle bone inscriptions engraved on it.

He clenched this ancient sword, and the momentum of the whole person changed again, and he went straight up, and with just a slight wave, the boundless sword qi rolled and rushed like a raging wave, flying out of the cold light. Countless resentful spirits were frozen into ice sculptures from the bottom up, and boundless cold descended on the sky above this Black Moon City, and thousands of miles of land were condensed into a thick layer of ice because of the power of this sword.

The power of a sword, even Si!

The boundless blood mist could not be evaded, such a terrifying power was as straight as divine power, but how could it dare to be its edge?

"Ruoli, let's go. The man stood in the air, looked at the ancient sword in his hand, and said to himself, the ancient sword seemed to know his mind, and it flew up with a whirlwind, automatically returned to its sheath, and quietly inserted it behind him.

The man didn't hesitate any longer, stepped into the air, and swept straight into the hazy blood-colored giant gate, and behind him, the snow in the sky also stained the former Black Moon City white.
