Could something have happened?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Underworld, another sigh rose from Ming He.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not stop thinking about his little brother Wang Chuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Relax.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xuanqing was starting to get a headache from the constant muttering and turned to Ming He: “You’ve never worried this much about yourself when you go out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you really need to worry so much about Wu You and Wang Chuan?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s different.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ming He’s face was serious: “Wang Chuan is going out for the first time. I originally planned to take him along to see the world.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But now I’ve returned, and he hasn’t—could something have gone wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop muttering so much; maybe they’ll be safer that way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xuanqing shook his head. Ming He had always taken opportunities to tease Wang Chuan—otherwise, Wang Chuan wouldn’t run away whenever he saw him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now suddenly acting so concerned—could it be that he’s just itching to cause trouble again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’re too bored, go hatch this golden egg.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xuanqing pushed the golden egg toward Ming He.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had spent hours studying it—accelerating time for hatching, boiling it in Huang Quan water, roasting it over Ming Fire… all the conventional methods had been tried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were only one step away from using brute force to dismantle it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Xiang Xuanqing’s own Dao body—the Qingyi Dragon God [Da Siming] embedded as a spy among the Dragon Clan—sent a message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Siming said this batch of colored eggs was developed by the Dragon Clan’s Qiantian Palace, and they were definitely valuable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what exactly the egg would hatch into, Da Siming did not know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It depended on opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just now, the Turtle Chancellor was mysteriously vague, telling me only: ‘When opportunity arrives, the egg will hatch.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am the Great Dragon God of Yunmeng Marsh, burdened with countless affairs—do I have the leisure to wait for opportunity? Of course not!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So in the Eastern Dragon Palace, I smashed one on the spot—and nothing happened.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, forget it—the Turtle Chancellor is chasing me right now. That old bastard has such a short temper! It’s just an egg! So stingy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In short, you’d better not smash your golden egg. I suspect it’s truly something valuable—hold onto it for now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Ming He felt disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever came from the Dragon Clan’s First Research Institute certainly wasn’t Zulong’s egg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when Xiang Xuanqing learned that forced dismantling was useless, he decided to temporarily abandon research.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This egg doesn’t belong with me—leave it with you. If anything goes wrong, you can just toss it into Tai Sha Tian Gong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ming He knew his own limits: if he kept it with Xiang Xuanqing, it might actually produce something remarkable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he took it for study, he might hatch something bizarre and strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xuanqing waved his hand and sent the egg into the Third Heavenly Palace—Wu Cheng Tian Gong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Cheng Tian Gong housed some of Xiang Xuanqing’s collected Ling Bao, as well as many alchemical achievements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, most of them were not quite orthodox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This golden egg fit perfectly there—no matter what hatched, it would certainly be no match for the Wu De-saturated Ling Bao inside the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come, let’s go to Tai Sha Tian Gong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xuanqing patted Ming He’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great!” Ming He smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s been ages since I saw my ‘old friend.’ I’ve missed them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many of the containment items in Tai Sha Tian Gong had been captured by him and Xiang Xuanqing together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xiang Xuanqing and Ming He appeared together in Tai Sha Tian Gong, the entire palace erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look who’s here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha, isn’t this the ‘big fish’? Back then, you rammed straight into my Luo Tian Net and almost got pulled up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh my, Ming He, haven’t we not seen each other for hundreds of millions of years? I’ve missed you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ming He, I’ve missed you too. Seeing you brings back memories of my glorious past—alas, those days are gone forever.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I regret it so much—I shouldn’t have fished for that fish back then. Now look where I am.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ming He’s arrival was met with enthusiastic welcome from all the containment items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were ecstatic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this “old acquaintance,” they all recalled their former glory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, they were master fishermen, experts at setting traps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, the heavens were vast, the cosmos boundless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ming He was often inside, while they were outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, the heavens have changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are inside, and Ming He is outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Blood Pool Hell, the Saint Sect’s Senior Brother [Fu Zhu] laughed: “You don’t understand!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is our Sect Master’s brilliant strategy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The ‘fish’ you see? That’s the Sect Master’s bait.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Otherwise, how could we all have been caught?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, sixty percent of the containment items enthusiastically agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our Sect Master is wise and mighty—we are utterly unworthy!” These sixty percent were those who had been caught precisely because they had trapped Ming He.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They really accept you as their Sect Master?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ming He didn’t mind their mockery; instead, he looked curiously at Xiang Xuanqing: “Your Youming Sheng Sect has no shortage of talent!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What sect? Don’t listen to their nonsense,” Xiang Xuanqing shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Saint Sect’s Senior Brother [Fu Zhu] shouted: “Ming He, our Sect Master thought our name sounded bad, so we’ve changed it to ‘Chan Sect.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To expound the Sect Master’s teachings and enlighten all living beings.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ming He nodded: “The intent is admirable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the containment items laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine! If Ming He approves, then from now on we’ll call ourselves disciples of the Chan Sect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get out, get out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xuanqing’s face darkened: “What are you all riling up for?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stay quiet and behave yourselves. Don’t try any tricks—or Meng Huai will be your example!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed toward the Fire Sea Hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Huai, the Second Senior Brother of the Youming Sheng Sect, was still undergoing punishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already calmed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as soon as he heard Xiang Xuanqing had arrived, he started screaming again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xuanqing ignored him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He directly cast two true spirits into the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were the two original Tian Jun of the Yin-Yang Universe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Eighteen Hells—take turns!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xuanqing ordered the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My goodness, these two kids are something else!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’ve experienced the full Tai Sha Tian Gong package—what an achievement!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe, isn’t that the truth?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The containment items all watched with amusement, showing not a shred of sympathy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As always: these two scoundrels didn’t deserve to be grouped with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After assigning the two scoundrel Tian Jun, Xiang Xuanqing and Ming He entered the Inner Cosmos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the C-shaped universe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fei Mo Yan Qing Zhen Jun was nearly driven mad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since being placed in solitary confinement by Xiang Xuanqing, he had been restless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because his neighbors were devout followers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They chanted scriptures daily, seeking to transform him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And incidentally, to transform Fei Mo Yan Qing Zhen Jun as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“True Jun, submit yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Join us, and fall with us into the Underworld.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“True Jun, our Sect Master has great hopes for you—otherwise, why would he have been the first to send you into the Inner Cosmos?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are the true Senior Brother!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come, come, join us on the Dao, become a Ghost God!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the cosmos, the sound of the Dao filled every ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those devotees stared with fanatic eyes, regarding the recruitment of new disciples as their sacred duty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The True Lord of Flying Demon, Yan Qing, could finally no longer hold out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, I’m saying, all of you—just turn into ghosts already!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go on, then—turn one of you into a ghost deity and show me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You haven’t even succeeded yourselves—why drag me into this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once you succeed, I won’t say a word—I’ll devote myself to the Underworld!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You said it yourself!” In Universe Bing-6, a deity clad in black robes with a plain sash, wearing a black-and-gold Daoist crown, sat in solemn repose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around him, swirling primordial waves and shimmering divine light appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the black-robed, black-crowned deity was expounding the Dao, with majestic and resplendent celestial music filling the ears, thunderous and majestic divine roars echoing, and profound, elusive Daoic resonance drifting through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Underworld’s universal salvation brings all beings liberation.
