Chapter 1590: The Establishment of the Ming Fu

Not far away, Ning Bizhen threw out the Life and Death Book and the Judge's Brush, which were caught by Li Zhangsheng's clone.

"I am Fengdu Dadi, in charge of the affairs of Reincarnation. With the Life and Death Book and the Judge's Brush, I suppress the fortune of the Ming Fu. The Ming Fu is established!"

As the clone's voice fell, the rules within the Ming Fu immediately acted upon him; a black imperial robe and crown suddenly appeared on his body, and a vast might radiated from him.

Fengdu Dadi, also known as Fengdu Beiyin Dadi, is the superior of the Five Directional Ghost Emperors and the Ten Yama Kings, and is the highest deity of the Ming Fu, in charge of the Yinsi.

The duty of Fengdu Dadi is to govern the ghosts and gods of the Luo Feng Liu Tian under Fengdu, and the jurisdiction is Fengdu, which is Hell. It is divided into six offices, and it is specifically responsible for matters of the underworld. Any person, ghost, monster, or demon who has committed heinous crimes or is extremely treacherous and evil must be imprisoned in this Fengdu Hell, never to be reincarnated.

Li Zhangsheng threw out the Condensed Essence Peak obtained from the Blood Emperor, which transformed into a great mountain occupying a radius of three hundred li.

Under the transformation of the Ming Fu's rules, the Condensed Essence Peak rapidly turned black, and three large characters appeared upon it—Fengdu Shan.

Not long after, a river formed by the condensation of Yellow Spring Water took shape; this was the Wang Chuan He.

Almost at the same time, a road permeated with the aura of the Yellow Spring appeared; this was the so-called Huang Quan Lu.

As the Yellow Spring river took shape, Ning Bizhen threw three treasures toward the Wang Chuan He: a bridge, a terrace, and a checkpoint, which transformed into the Nai He Qiao, the Wang Xiang Tai, and the Gui Men Guan, respectively.

She even threw out the Dao-Achieving Item, the Three Lives Stone, which landed on the bank of the Wang Chuan He by the Gui Men Guan; this place was also called San Sheng Shi Pan.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng took action again; the Original Light flickered, and five powerful souls rushed out.

Well, processed souls.

These five souls were either supreme Emperors during their lifetimes, or top-tier Divine Beasts, or even Unique Divine Beasts; in short, every one of them was a hegemon-level existence.

After being processed by Li Zhangsheng, these five souls were as pure as blank paper, without a trace of memory, allowing Li Zhangsheng to paint and draw upon them at will, adding various memories.

Li Zhangsheng released these five souls naturally to have them serve as the Five Directional Ghost Emperors, assisting Fengdu Dadi in ruling the soon-to-be-established Ming Fu.

The next moment, the five souls became as substantial as reality, turning into human size, and crowns and imperial robes appeared on their bodies, though their might was far inferior to that of Fengdu Dadi.

Eastern Ghost Emperor: Governs "Tao Zhi Shan" and "Gui Men Guan".

Western Ghost Emperor: Governs "Bao Zhong Shan".

Northern Ghost Emperor: Governs "Luo Feng Shan".

Southern Ghost Emperor: Governs "Luo Fu Shan".

Central Ghost Emperor: Governs "Bao Du Shan".

In addition, there were the Four Great Judges; Li Zhangsheng again released four souls from the Original Light.

Unlike the previous souls, although their strength was far inferior to the souls of the Five Directional Ghost Emperors, the four souls released this time were all wreathed in wisps of Merit Qi.

It was roughly the same scene as before, only the momentum was much smaller, mainly due to the difference in status.

The Four Great Judges are responsible for judging the wandering souls that arrive in the Ming Fu, divided into the Department of Rewarding Good, the Department of Punishing Evil, the Department of Ming Fu Laws, and the Department of Investigation.

"This is the Shi Ba Ceng Di Yu!"

Li Zhangsheng took out an eighteen-story pagoda and handed it to Fengdu Dadi.

This pagoda was made using the remaining Hollow Willow Tree as the main material; it was a Low Grade Langhuan Supreme Treasure, containing eighteen levels of space within.

Fengdu Dadi threw out the Shi Ba Ceng Di Yu, which landed not far from the Yinsi Hall.

Upon contact with the ground, the pagoda slowly merged into the earth, and the entire ground shook violently; under the concentrated action of the Ming Fu's rules, the power of the pagoda was thoroughly channeled, causing eighteen vast spaces to be opened up underground.

From now on, as long as Fengdu Dadi, the Five Directional Ghost Emperors, and the Ten Yama Kings preside, the Shi Ba Ceng Di Yu can be operated.

On the other side, Ning Bizhen selected some of the Wuchang clan to serve as soul-reaping envoys, dressing them in black and white robes; from then on, they were Bai Wu Chang and Hei Wu Chang.

The reason for choosing the Wuchang clan, besides their intelligence, also had to do with their innate talent for soul-reaping.

Besides the Wuchang clan, Ning Bizhen also had the Ox-Head and Horse-Face clans, known for their honest and simple nature and their willingness to work hard, serve as ghost soldiers.

Like Li Zhangsheng, Ning Bizhen also used the method of "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones" to sever a clone.

"I am Meng Po!"

The clone, which originally possessed a peerless appearance, instantly transformed into an old woman with white hair and deep wrinkles.

Meng Po's duty is very simple: she will reside by the Nai He Qiao, providing Meng Po Soup to all spirits heading for reincarnation, in order to erase the ghosts' memories and shed the burdens of their past lives, thereby entering the next Reincarnation.

Ning Bizhen also placed the Di Ting in the Yinsi Hall to assist the judges in distinguishing right from wrong.

Finally, Ning Bizhen threw out the Sun Moon Shuttle Heavy Light Wheel; among them, the Taiyin Token transformed into the Ming Fu's moon, and the Sun Command transformed into the Ming Fu's sun.

Li Zhangsheng then gathered a large amount of Star Essence to dot the Ming Fu's starry sky.

Unlike the sun, moon, and stars of the human world, those of the Ming Fu were significantly dimmer.

In this way, the structure of the Ming Fu tended toward perfection, the personnel composition was complete, and the remaining minor details would be perfected by future generations.

While they were perfecting the Ming Fu, the Merit Cloud in the sky kept growing larger and thicker, to the point where the merit was almost overflowing.

Boom—

Thunder echoed once again above the Nine Heavens, and the Merit Cloud in the sky finally descended, splitting into two portions on the way, which fell toward Li Zhangsheng and his wife, and were casually collected by the two.

Ning Bizhen's portion was clearly much larger, obtaining about seventy percent, while Li Zhangsheng obtained thirty percent.

Although Li Zhangsheng shared a lot of the burden, refined many treasures, and even split off a clone to serve as Fengdu Dadi, these were mainly the steps for establishing the Yinsi.

Establishing Reincarnation was primarily Ning Bizhen's effort, and this was the most important part; this was the reason why Li Zhangsheng's contribution did not seem inferior to Ning Bizhen's, yet his merit was clearly not as great as hers.

Simply put, Ning Bizhen occupied the leading position.

However, this was not a problem for Li Zhangsheng; merit was merely icing on the cake for him, and he would continue to obtain merit from the Ming Fu in a steady stream in the future.

Among the functions of the Ming Fu, Fengdu Dadi and Meng Po obtained the most merit, which was also the main reason why Li Zhangsheng and his wife used clones.

Besides merit, Li Zhangsheng could feel that his Authority had advanced a step further; originally, his chest and abdomen were on par with the Heavenly Dao, but now it had reached his crotch.

Of course, besides establishing Reincarnation and the Yinsi, it also had to do with the Zixiao Qilin, because the Zixiao Qilin finally successfully advanced to the Emperor Rank, reaching the goal in one step.

In this way, except for the Eight-Clawed Golden Dragon, all other Demon Pets were at the Emperor Rank or Pseudo Emperor Rank.

With the appearance of Reincarnation and the establishment of the Ming Fu, the entire Ming Fu began to operate in an orderly fashion, no longer as chaotic as before.

Of course, a lot of trash still needed to be cleared away, but these matters could be left to others.

With the birth of Reincarnation, the Ming Fu also underwent some changes; its ability to assimilate living beings from the human world was significantly weakened, but due to the heavy Yin Qi, it was still not suitable for human beings to live in for long.
