Chapter 199: Di Dao Emerges!

"Great Great Pangu's axe! How did Xuan Qing's aura vanish?!"

In Bajing Palace, Jing Yao Shangzun instantly sensed the disturbance of Xuan Qing's transformation into Dao; even as his alchemy furnace exploded, he remained oblivious, immediately setting off for the Underworld.

"Ox boy, you stay behind to guard the place."

Jing Yao Shangzun hurried to the Underworld and saw Yu Yu Chendao Jun arriving with a sword on his back.

"Brother Dao, you're here too?" Yu Yu Chendao Jun's expression was calm, his aura sharp as a divine sword poised to strike, making others dare not approach.

"Did Hong Jun and Yang Mei strike a dirty blow?"

Yu Yu Chendao Jun thought of the Immortal-Demon War, assuming Xuan Qing had been ambushed.

"Unlikely." This thought vanished instantly from Jing Yao Shangzun's mind.

"Given Xuan Qing's dark style, Hong Jun and Yang Mei are lucky if they aren't the ones getting ambushed."

"Even if He's ambushed, it's by His own doing."

After regaining his composure, Jing Yao Shangzun realized he'd overreacted.

"Makes sense." Yu Yu Chendao Jun nodded, calming his aura.

Recalling Xuan Qing's usual demeanor, He instantly felt at ease, a smile slowly spreading across His face.

"If this isn't an accident, then Xuan Qing is attempting the Ghost Immortal Fruit."

"Perhaps the Ghost Deity Fruit."

The two Heavenly Sovereigns arrived outside Fengdoudadian and saw Ming He lingering near Tiangong.

"Friend, you've revived so quickly?" Seeing the God of Death resurrected, Yu Yu Chendao Jun's expression was even more stunned than before.

He knew full well He'd struck the blow—no mercy given, kill on sight.

He'd expected Ming He to lie dormant for a thousand years, yet He revived so soon?

"Wasn't it Xuan Qing scaring me back to life?" Ming He now wore a look of grievance, rising from death's bed like a startled fool—He himself was the punchline.

Ming He had believed Xuan Qing truly died; upon urgently reviving, He discovered Xuan Qing was cultivating Dao.

"Xuan Qing really is something—cultivating Dao and making such a commotion? Made me die for nothing."

Hearing this, Jing Yao Shangzun and Yu Yu Chendao Jun both laughed.

Yu Yu Chendao Jun raised an eyebrow, teasing: "Friend, still want to die? I can help you again—free of charge."

"You?" Ming He glanced at the eager Yu Yu Chendao Jun and His Qingping Sword.

He gave it serious thought.

Finally, Ming He shook his head: "No, no—living's fine. I'll consider it when I feel like giving up."

"Let's see what's going on with Xuan Qing first."

"Let's wait at Qifei Tiangong—perfect time for some tea."

Wu You and Ming He led everyone to Qifei Tiangong.

The gods settled in; Xiao Cha appeared holding a teapot, pouring cups for all.

Soon, the tea's fragrance filled the air, each cup shimmering with life.

"The Underworld's rules have changed." As the gods sipped tea, they faintly sensed the influence of Xuan Qing's Dao transformation—the Underworld's rules were continuously restructuring, undergoing unimaginable changes.

"Wangchuan River has changed too." Wangchuan joyfully noticed his own body, the Underworld's primary river, expanding continuously; the worlds once represented by unknown timelines now gradually grew clear.

His tributaries naturally branched out, flowing autonomously toward those worlds.

"The earth veins are changing too!" Ming He gazed toward the west of the Underworld, where earth veins trembled violently—a divine mountain rose from the ground.

"And the south."

Meng Wu You's gaze fell upon the south—ghostly qi dense, Dao energy swirling; a cave heaven was being nurtured.

"The central region is the same."

In the heart of the Underworld, where Wangchuan River once flowed, endless rule transformations occurred; earth veins gradually rose, forming the shape of a colossal mountain.

These three divine mountains and colossal peaks gradually connected with the northern Underworld ancestral vein—Luo Feng Mountain.

The five colossal peaks stood as pillars of the Underworld, reaching upward to the highest heavens, anchoring downward to the dark springs.

"Wait—the Underworld's Tian Dao has appeared?"

Jing Yao Shangzun stared in surprise at the sky—a blood moon hung high, like a half-open, half-closed eye, radiating a chilling, profound Dao truth. "Is that Xuan Qing? No—it's Xuan Qing's thought? Still not right!"

Yu Yu Chendao Jun gazed at the Underworld's blood moon with a peculiar expression: "Has the Underworld's rule, tainted by Xuan Qing's Dao transformation, become sentient?"

"Is Xuan Qing strengthening the Underworld's eternal nature?"

Jing Yao Shangzun, watching the increasingly animated blood moon, firmly concluded the Underworld was about to birth its own Tian Dao.

"Er… can the Underworld's Tian Dao still be called Tian Dao?"

"Better call it Di Dao."

Yu Yu Chendao Jun half-joked: "Above, it's Tian Dao; underground, it's Di Dao—perfectly reasonable."

Ming He, sensing the earth-shattering changes in the Underworld, was thrilled: "All this commotion—my cultivation is skyrocketing!"

"Same here." Meng Wu You nodded; her fortune was rising alongside.

"In just this short while, it's equal to a ten-thousand-year cultivation." Wangchuan grinned broadly.

He'd planned to go train, but now he'd won again without lifting a finger—how delightful!

The Dao-enlightenment tea tree, still like a sapling, gained immense benefit—its height surged by seven inches!

Now it was a small sapling.

"It seems… we've benefited too." Jing Yao Shangzun sensed it—the feedback came from the Dao True Realm.

The aura of 【Fuli Taiwei Yuan Shi Daode Daode Tianzun】 grew even more ethereal, benefiting both Heavenly Sovereigns together.

Even the Divine Peach Tree and the Wheel of Reincarnation's Purple Lotus, traveling across the myriad worlds, sensed the Underworld's changes—each received equal Dao feedback, their cultivation soaring.

Moreover, the Underworld's transformation triggered changes in the Nine You World of the Anta Great Universe.

Zhuanlun Wang and the entire cadre of judges and ghost deities received fortune boosts.

"We humbly thank the Great Emperor's grace!"

Deep within the Nine You Underworld, beneath the shadow of the Underworld Emperor, a five-colored lion lay peacefully.

This divine beast of the Yin-Yang universe had, through its own efforts, ascended to the Anta Great Universe.

Now, its daily duty was guarding Yin Mountain in the Nine You World, day and night watching over Xuan Qing's Dao manifestation.

"Has the Master transcended?" The five-colored lion rejoiced; after this Dao boon, He felt His ascension to Hong Huang was near.

Soon, I'll reunite with the Master through my own strength!

Xuan Qing's cultivation into Da Luo as a proper Ghost Deity Da Luo benefited every spirit of the Underworld lineage.

From the highest Underworld leaders to the lowest underworld goblins, all were reaping benefits.

Most delighted were the newly converted Ghost Immortals from the Immortal Realm.

Just started working, and their boss had already raised the company's assets to ceiling level—suddenly showering them with benefits; they hadn't even done anything, yet they received Underworld welfare.

"Great Emperor Eternal! Underworld Immortal!"

Each one thanked the Fengdou Emperor profusely.

The Underworld's transformation lasted a long time.

When the gates of Fengdoudadian opened, all returned to stillness.

Xuan Qing strolled out of the palace, refreshed and invigorated: "Another wonderful day!"

Huhu~~

The Underworld's blood moon transformed into a bright moon, expressing joy and offering congratulations to Xuan Qing.

Instantly, flowers rained from heaven, golden lotuses surged from the earth.

An aura of unchanging, unyielding, immortal, and undefeated power settled upon Xuan Qing.

A crown of Dao gradually formed, settling firmly upon Xuan Qing's head.

A majestic, solemn aura spread instantly; images of the myriad worlds and the entire cosmos appeared, the light of the Three Thousand Dao paths dazzling like an ocean, countless ghost deity shadows manifested, the song of the Demon King's Cave echoed ethereally through the void.

The Underworld's Di Dao strained to manifest its existence, celebrating Xuan Qing!

"Thoughtful."

Xuan Qing looked up, returning a smile.

Huhu~~

The full moon smiled into a crescent.

Got praised!

Happy!
