At the moment when the bell rang, all the creatures in the world of heaven, earth, humans, gods, ghosts, feathers, feathers, and kuns, stagnated like statues.
The wind stops, the river is quiet, the sound is quiet, and the spirit is calm!
The entire azure world seemed to have pressed the pause button at this moment.
An instant later, all abnormalities returned to their original state.
Although it was only such a short moment, countless intelligent beings in the world will never forget this moment in their lives.
"Dong~~"
The earth-shaking bells are like heavy drums beating in the ears and hearts of countless creatures.
In the air, waves of invisible tremors spread out with the sound of the bell, like ripples in the water, and like the aftertaste of stroking the strings of a piano.
...
Plain of Bones in the Netherworld.
The Nether World is actually a projection of the real world, derived from the negative emotions of countless living beings.
Therefore, in every realm, as long as there are living entities, there is a corresponding Netherworld.
At the same time, because of the complex emotions and thoughts of various creatures, the Nether World forms a complex, multi-layered special world.
No one knows how many layers there are in the Netherworld. According to rumors, the Netherworld is connected to the 'Guixu' and is located at the end of the universe. It is the home of all life.
The Bone Plains in the Azure Realm is different from all the nether regions in the universe.
In the past, the "Immortal Life and Death Sect" and the "Vajra Sect" sought to seize the Plains of Bones, causing the gate of hell to open. Countless ghosts fled the underworld, causing the death of millions of creatures in the human world, including more than 200,000 humans alone.
Later, Zhang Ke was ordered to enter the Plain of Bones to investigate. By chance, he became the 'King of Wheels' and finally took control of this area of ghosts.
After Zhang Ke took control of the White Bone Plains, he discovered that the fetal membranes in the two realms here were weak.
In order to prevent the ghostly creatures from breaking through the obstacles and breaking into the human world again in the future, and also to resist the invasion of the Bone Plains by external forces.
He used the immeasurable microscopic golden crow, the mysterious light, and the one-yuan number of one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred [Liangyi Pearls] to manifest the 'Great Sun Golden Crow' and the 'Taiyin Jade Rabbit', and artificially constructed an artificial world in the Plain of Bones.
The great sun and the bright moon come out.
In addition, Zhang Ke combined the "Nine Nether Scattering Soul Wind" in the Plain of Bones and inspired the "Twenty-Four Generals of the Thunder Department" to set up a thunder boundary over the Plain of Bones and summon thunderclouds that covered the sky.
From this day on, the White Bone Plains also experienced the alternation of day and night, as well as the four phenomena of thunder and calamity, just like the human world.
The essence of netherworld creatures is negative emotions, and their souls are soaked in Yin Qi. Sunlight and thunder can cause huge harm to them.
With the Golden Crow hanging in the sky and the thunder tribulation blocked, the White Bone Plains now has the power to defend both internal and external forces.
However, sunlight and thunder are extremely harmful to the Netherworld creatures. Zhang Ke's original intention was just to prevent the Netherworld creatures from breaking into the human world, but he did not want to kill them all.
Therefore, he only dispersed the endless thunderclouds that shrouded the Plain of Bones on the first day of each month, allowing the Golden Crow to manifest in the sky.
The sun hangs in the sky, clearing away the gloom!
Every day on this day, there will be countless mindless ghosts in the Plains of Bones who will be burned to ashes by the sun in ignorance.
But there are also more netherworld creatures that undergo changes after intentionally or unintentionally avoiding sunlight.
Every surviving Netherworld creature experiences sunlight, moonlight, and lightning baptism, which is equivalent to tempering its soul.
Just like ore is tempered and tempered to become steel, quantitative changes will eventually lead to qualitative changes.
As time goes by, some netherworld creatures will naturally open up their spiritual wisdom and stand out.
Over hundreds of years, countless ghostly creatures with spiritual intelligence have been born in the Bone Plains.
This was completely beyond Zhang Ke's expectation.
He initially built the 'Great Sun Golden Crow', 'Taiyin Jade Rabbit' and set up thunder cloud barriers in the Plain of Bones. The main purpose was to prevent the netherworld creatures from breaking through the fetal membranes of Yin and Yang and breaking into the human world to wreak havoc.
Of course, the Plain of Bones was dark and gloomy, and he was not willing to live in such an environment for a long time. Moreover, he had a faint pity for the netherworld creatures in his heart. After many considerations, Zhang Ke finally made such a move that had never been done since ancient times.
A drink and a peck have their own consequences. Nowadays, most of these netherworld creatures who have opened up their spiritual wisdom have been taken under Zhang Ke's command. In the past five days, the yin differences accompanying the manifestation of yin energy in the human world at night have basically been like this.
This is an extremely powerful force, even more powerful than the "Whispering Church" and "Dharma Protector" systems established by Zhang Ke combined.
Although netherworld creatures are afraid of sunlight and can only appear at night, their nearly infinite number and special powers can cause them to cause huge harm to living creatures, especially at night.
If Zhang Ke disperses the talisman order and wheel-turning spiritual light, without the protection of these two powers, even if all the sects and even practitioners in the human world are gathered together, they will never be the opponent of the endless ghostly creatures.
The night ghost rule in the misty world of the past is the best example.
No one doubts this. The five nights before the Ghost Festival have made countless people see the situation clearly.
If Zhang Ke introduces this power into the human world, the whole world will tremble under his feet, and he will become the king of the night.
Years of hard work, the final result!
Zhang Ke’s accumulation over nearly a thousand years is now showing tremendous energy in all aspects.
In addition to unexpectedly gaining the powerful power of the Netherworld, Zhang Ke also had another unexpected gain.
That is the almost endless and endless power of merit!
As early as hundreds of years ago, Zhang Ke discovered that there was pure, pure, and endless power of merit integrated into the priesthood of the ‘Wing Chakravartin’.
After careful observation, Zhang Ke discovered that the power of this merit actually came from the Netherworld.
This couldn't help but surprise him.
The Plain of White Bones is the land of the netherworld. After Zhang Ke took control of this place, with the help of Black and White Wuchang, he transformed it into the dojo of the ‘King of Wheels’ among the ten palaces of Yama in the netherworld of the blue world.
In the legend, the 'King of Chakravartin' is responsible for detaining ghosts in each palace and distinguishing between good and evil. If there are ghosts who have done extremely evil things, they will be transformed into eggs and wet bodies, and they will live and die. After their sins are completed, they will be reincarnated.
Reborn in the human world.
But Zhang Ke is a practitioner who pursues freedom and is dedicated to detachment. In his view, the priesthood of 'Wing Chakravartin' is just an identity and a kind of authority that can be used but cannot be restricted.
Therefore, after achieving the status of 'Chakravartin King', he released the authority of the 'Chakravartin Pagoda', and let Guohun manage the responsibilities conferred by the 'Chakravarter King' priesthood on his behalf, and he never failed to do so.
Since he has fulfilled his duties, it is normal for him to generate meritorious deeds, but the meritorious deeds fed back from the Netherworld far exceed the portion that Zhang Ke should receive.
So after noticing the anomaly, Zhang Ke immediately ordered Guohun to investigate it.
After nearly a hundred years of investigation, Gouhun gave an answer that surprised Zhang Ke.
The power of merit fed back from the Netherworld actually came from the ‘sun, moon’ and thunder calamity that Zhang Ke constructed on the Plain of Bones.
After some understanding, Zhang Ke finally figured out the reason.
If the entire nether world is regarded as a sealed jar, each layer of the nether world is a pipe connected to the jar, and each negative emotion is a drop of water.
Through the tube connected to the jar, endless negative emotions turn into drops of water and are poured into the jar.
When the water in the jar fills up the jar, there is only one final result for the jar, which is to collapse and decompose.
When the order of the three realms of the Blue Realm still existed, the Nether Realm was in order. Endless ghosts formed new individuals through self-generation, guidance, and purification, and finally were born in the realm through six reincarnations.
This is like a tube that flows outward from the jar in the Netherworld. When one enters and the other goes out, the two form a balance, ensuring the stability of the Netherworld.
But since the destruction of heaven and the collapse of the order of the three realms hundreds of thousands of years ago, the netherworld within the heavens and realms has also declined and disintegrated.
The same is true for the Azure Realm. When Zhang Ke became the ‘King of Wheels’, Black and White Wuchang personally mentioned that the order of the Netherworld in this realm collapsed.
The Great Emperor Fengdu, the Ghost Emperor of the Five Directions, Luo Feng Liutian, etc. successively sank into the "Netherworld Realm" and fell into dormancy, leaving only three of the ten palaces of Yama.
Although the Six Paths of Reincarnation continues to operate under the rules of the Great Dao, the various layers of the 'Netherworld' have lost contact and become separated.
Guimen Pass, Huangquan Road, Wangchuan River, Naihe Bridge, Sansheng Stone, etc. are all under their own jurisdiction.
Without order, the mindless ghostly creatures in each layer of the nether world fell into chaos and devouring, eventually leading to chaos in the laws of heaven in the multi-layered nether world, fragmenting the barriers with the human world, and destroying or blocking the nodes that lead to the ghosts.
When Zhang Ke first entered the Plain of Bones, the first thing he saw was the mountain of ghosts reaching from the sky to the earth, with a diameter of more than thirty miles.
In addition, Zhang Ke was also deeply impressed by the ghostly creatures that covered the Bone Plain like a tide.
At that time, Zhang Ke didn't know much about the netherworld, and he only thought that there should be so many netherworld creatures in the Plain of Bones.
After understanding it, Zhang Ke realized that due to the fragmentation of the multi-layered netherworld, the ghost souls that were supposed to be shunted to other netherworlds entered the Plain of Bones under the influence of the laws of heaven.
At that time, Black and White Wuchang was searching for signs of ghosts and entered the Plain of Bones from Fangfang Nether World.
Since the Plain of Bones accommodates too many ghostly creatures, it is impossible to reincarnate the excess ghosts just by relying on the natural movement of the damaged Heavenly Path.
If left unchecked, one day in the future, the fetal membranes of the two realms will inevitably disintegrate again. At that time, the two realms of Yin and Yang will overlap, and a catastrophe will inevitably occur between heaven and earth.
Before Zhang Ke took control of the Plain of Bones, this Netherworld already contained an unknown number of Netherworld creatures.
Their number is far more than what is revealed on the plain. There are still many ghosts and ghosts hidden under the piles of bones.
After Zhang Ke took control of the Plain of Bones, he constructed Yin and Yang and laid out the thunder tribulation.
Under the thunder of the sun, countless souls without intelligence were restored to Yin Qi to make up for the incomplete laws of heaven and the damage everywhere in the Plain of Bones.
Zhang Ke's move not only alleviated the operating pressure of the Azure Realm's own great road rules, but also rebuilt the order of the Nether Realm bit by bit. In just a few hundred years, the six paths of reincarnation have gradually become normal.
It is precisely because of this that the Nether World and even the Blue World will continuously feed back the power of merit.
Now, Zhang Ke's "golden wheel of merit" that originally collapsed has not only re-condensed, but this golden wheel has actually formed two circles, the inner and the outer.
According to the secrets discovered by Zhang Ke, if you can condense nine circles of the 'Golden Wheel of Merit', you can become a saint instantly and directly become a saint on the same level as Tianzun.
It's just that Zhang Ke didn't even dare to think about this. Every time the 'Golden Wheel of Merit' condenses, the power of merit required will triple.
Reconstructing the Chakravartin Division by myself and relieving the pressure accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years in the White Bone Plains can only condense two circles of the Golden Wheel of Merit, and feedback from other aspects must be added to this.
After a little calculation, you can know that even if you save a star field, you may not be able to condense the nine-ring golden wheel.
Despite this, such a majestic power of merit is enough for Zhang Ke to accomplish many things.
For example, this time, the reason why he was able to integrate many forces to enable the 'Dharma Protector' to soar into the clouds was because of his nearly immeasurable power of merit.
