Although Li Yingqi was not clear about the meaning of what her master said, there was one thing she was sure of, that was her master would never harm her!
"Okay, okay, Master, whatever you say is fine. Anyway, it's a good thing that you returned safely. As for the rest, Yingqi doesn't need to ask any more questions."

The master and the disciple smiled at each other, and the trust between them was still there.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, they left the island in the middle of the lake. The days became stable and peaceful, and it was quite quiet.

Maoshan.

After Shi Jian left the mural world, Lin Zu basically watched the whole process, and his inner joy can be imagined.

It would be a lie to say that Lin Zu had no thoughts about the World Map of Mountains and Rivers, but the person who obtained the World Map of Mountains and Rivers was Shi Jian, which made Lin Zu let go of his deepest desire.

The World Map of Mountains and Rivers is the icing on the cake for Lin Zu. Possessing the World Map of Mountains and Rivers can enhance Lin Zu's defense. If other elders of Maoshan obtain this treasure, they will most likely hand it over to Lin Zu. But Shi Jian is different. As the future soul seed of Maoshan, Lin Zu has great expectations for Shi Jian.

Whether for public or private reasons, Lin Zu hopes that Shi Jian can grow up quickly, and the stronger his combat power, the better.

This means that Maoshan is more secure and its status is more unbreakable.

What's more, Shi Jian's talent is so terrifying. If Shi Jian achieves the realm of Yuanshen in the future and possesses the world map of mountains and rivers, it is hard for Lin Zu to imagine how prosperous Maoshan will be!
"Shi Jian is a really lucky kid, but if he wants to take that step in the future, he still needs to continue to hone his skills..."

After exhaling a breath of foul air, Lin Zu's sharp eyes became cloudy, his breath became weak, his eyes flickered, and he looked like he was asleep.

For some reason, just now, Lin Zu always felt a strange throbbing deep in his heart.

This feeling is very strange. I counted with my fingers, but I couldn't figure out anything.

Therefore, Lin Zu calmed down and wanted to capture it carefully...

Zombie world!

In the underworld!

At this moment, the Seventh Patriarch of Maoshan, as the judge of the Chakravartin, was looking ahead worriedly.

There was nothingness in front, as if all time and space did not exist. The Chakravartin, the fourth ancestor of the Maoshan underworld, was stretching out his hand, reaching deep into the void, and then silently reciting a mantra. After dozens of breaths, he sighed again.

"Ugh……!"

Hearing the Fourth Patriarch's sigh, the Seventh Patriarch suddenly felt something was wrong and his expression became anxious. When he wanted to say something, the Fourth Patriarch had already arrived in front of him.

"Xiao Qi, the passage between the underworld and the heaven is completely cut off. Now even I have no way to get in touch with the ancestors of the heaven. As for that world, I'm afraid we can only rely on ourselves to explore it!"

As soon as the Fourth Patriarch finished speaking, the Seventh Patriarch also sighed. If they could contact the founder of Mount Mao in Heaven, with the strength of the Three Mao Patriarchs, it would not be a problem for them to understand the world where Shi Jian was.

Once, they had the opportunity to contact the Sanmao Patriarch in Heaven, but because there was no news from that unknown world, neither the Seventh Patriarch nor the Fourth Patriarch chose to report to the Sanmao Patriarch in Heaven. The reason was simple: it was not worth it for the Sanmao Patriarch to go to so much trouble for something uncertain.

But now that it has been confirmed that one can practice in that world, there is no chance to inform the Three Mao Patriarchs in Heaven at this moment.

This is not the most important thing...

The reason why the underworld remains stable today is simply because all parties are wary of it. Also, the Ten Kings of Hell, like the Fourth Patriarch, have special ways to reach the ears of heaven, and with the mediation of heaven, they can maintain a tacit understanding.

But now the Four Patriarchs can no longer report to the Three Mao Patriarchs in Heaven, which means that all connections between the Underworld and Heaven will disappear from now on.

In this case, it is absolutely impossible for the underworld not to experience major turmoil!
"Fourth Ancestor, what do you think we should do?

Are we in Maoshan really going to fight to the death with those desperate criminals in this underworld?"

When the Seventh Ancestor said this, a cold light flashed in his eyes. Maoshan's influence in the underworld is not small. If they are really forced to do so, everyone knows that it is better to strike first.

At this moment, as long as the Fourth Patriarch gives an order, the Seven Patriarchs can send Maoshan disciples to occupy and garrison all the cities in the underworld within the territory of the Wheel-Turning King.

The Fourth Patriarch shook his head at this difficult question.

Even though the Fourth Patriarch was a Chakravartin, the most powerful figure in the entire underworld, he was unwilling to get involved in this war easily.

“Seventh Brother, the underworld is full of complicated connections, and the power of Hades cannot compare to the former Emperor of Hell.

Ever since the reorganization of the underworld ten thousand years ago, it has been foreshadowed that today's ending would be like this...

Now that Maoshan has found a way and knows which world can be used as a new choice for cultivation, there is no need to fight to the death with these desperate criminals. "

The Fourth Patriarch looked up with wise eyes towards the underworld. Now that Heaven can no longer control the underworld, all the rules of the underworld are no longer applicable.

You can freely enter and exit the underworld and the world of the living without having to fear anything else!

"Fourth Ancestor, you are right. Regardless of whether this battle takes place or not, the Maoshan in the Yang world must be transferred to that world.

With Lin the kid here and a genius like Shi Jian, the inheritance of Maoshan will never be cut off!"

The Fourth Patriarch nodded. This was what he had originally planned.

“Now, the underworld will soon be in turmoil, and all the disciples of Maoshan will be asked to return to the world of the living. Old Seven, you should also go to the world of the living in person and make sure to stabilize the entire Maoshan. I cannot leave yet. After the underworld is completely in turmoil, we will go to Kunlun Mountain. With my strength, it should not be a problem to send those little guys from Maoshan to that world.

But you and I...

I'm afraid I can only stay in this world."

The Seventh Patriarch did not refuse, and he knew that the current situation was tense, so without saying anything, he quickly started to prepare.

.........................................................

Shi Jian still doesn't know what is happening in the zombie world, and even if he knows, there is no way to change it.

Now, after more than ten days of rest, Shi Jian's energy and spirit have reached its peak.

If you want to confer the title of City God, you must first have the position. As Shi Jian is a judge in the mortal world, since there is no underworld in this world, the heaven and earth do not reject Shi Jian's position as a judge in the mortal world. Even with such prerequisites, it is not easy to confer the title. Generally speaking, the stronger the cultivator's cultivation, the easier it is to confer the title successfully.

It's like the Fourth Patriarch who is a Chakravartin. If the Fourth Patriarch came to this world one day, not to mention that he could easily sweep across the entire underworld, just say that with the Fourth Patriarch's status as a Chakravartin and his cultivation that exceeds that of a casual immortal, if he had the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Book of Life and Death and other treasures of the underworld in his hands, he could easily establish the entire underworld!
In addition, the Fourth Patriarch can also arbitrarily appoint a city god, judge and other officials in the underworld.

However, for the current Shi Jian, since the position of the judge in the mortal world is not high and his cultivation is still weak, the City God he is granted can only be a City God at the county government level.

After completing all the preparations, Shi Jian arrived at the underworld ahead of time.

Generally speaking, the appointment of a City God requires an examination organized by the underworld, which is the so-called City God Examination. Those selected are all good people who have completed their merits in the world of the living and are about to reach the end of their lives.

After passing the assessment, one's body dies and his soul returns to the underworld, and then he begins to be canonized.

But now that the underworld is gone, Shi Jian can only skip these steps.

When they arrived at the City of the Dead, as Shi Jian began to perform a ritual, Nie Xiaoqian's father, who was lying on the bed in the mortal world, felt dizzy, and then a space crack opened up in front of him, and a strong yin energy surged out. The soul of Nie Xiaoqian's father left the corpse and entered the space crack leading to the underworld without any hesitation.

When Nie Xiaoqian's father arrived at the City of the Dead, like any other ghost, his eyes were cloudy and he could only stagger around in a daze.

Shi Jian saw all of this and took out the seal of the judge of the mortal world from his arms. As Shi Jian chanted the spell, special yin energy was released from the seal and landed on the forehead of Nie Xiaoqian's father. The originally ignorant soul began to wake up.

When Nie Xiaoqian's father woke up completely, his expression was filled with nervousness and curiosity.

Now he is in the underworld, and he is full of curiosity about this mysterious place in the legend.

However, soon, Nie Xiaoqian's father felt the changes in his body. His soul began to become stronger and stronger, and there was an additional memory about the City God in his mind. In addition to what the City God should do on a daily basis, there was also the City God's cultivation method.

As magic power was generated in Nie Xiaoqian's father's body, his appearance also changed.

It is visibly seen with the naked eye that his complexion becomes like a sage, he is upright and righteous!
When Shi Jian was about to complete the enthronement, he condensed the Yin energy in the underworld and transformed it into a long sword, which he used to protect Nie Xiaoqian's father.

In fact, even so, this imperial decree was still missing something, that is, the City God Seal!

However, the City God Seal cannot be refined in a short period of time. It also needs to be approved by the underworld, which even Shi Jian is powerless to do.

Who made the underworld disappear in this world?
But even so, Nie Xiaoqian's father was able to practice the City God's skills and possess the power that a City God should have, intimidating the ghosts in a certain area.

As for the City God Seal, it was not that Shi Jian did not want to refine it, but the situation in the underworld was complicated. It was not easy for him to reveal his identity as a judge in the mortal world, let alone a City God in the underworld?

Without the City God Seal, those guys might just be guessing, but once they know someone has the City God Seal, they’ll be out-and-out members of the underworld.

Shi Jian didn't believe that there was anyone in the underworld who still wanted the arrival of the underworld. All the vested interests had probably already divided up the underworld's territory, so future matters could only be planned slowly.

"This subordinate pays homage to the True Lord!"

After the enthronement was completed, Nie Xiaoqian's father also bowed his head in worship. Shi Jian had helped him to revive his life. Although he had died in the human world now, he could guard the city in the underworld and protect the people of Daqian.

For Nie Xiaoqian's father, this was enough.

"No need to be polite. Now the old gentleman is the city god of Wangsi City. Wangsi City is the territory of Maoshan. Even the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty dare not act rashly. From now on, the old gentleman will be the one making the decisions.

Now that the matter in the underworld is over, I have to go back to the world of the living. After some time, I will ask your daughter Xiaoqian to come to the City of the Dead to take charge."

"Your subordinate respectfully sends you off, Master!"

As Nie Xiaoqian's father finished speaking, Shi Jian disappeared into the underworld.

The Yang world, Yunyang County.

When the news of Nie Xiaoqian's father's death spread, the people of Yunyang County spontaneously presided over the funeral for Nie Xiaoqian's father. This matter lasted for more than ten days. It was not until Shi Jian sent Nie Xiaoqian to the underworld that everything came to an end.

Shi Jian and Li Yingqi also set out on their journey again...

After leaving Yunyang, Shi Jian originally planned to wander around. After all, ever since he was sent to Dali by Lin Zu from Maoshan, Shi Jian had no plans at all and could only take things one step at a time.

But just because Shi Jian has no goal doesn't mean nothing will happen to him...

Kunlun.

After the last competition to select the leader of Kunlun Sect, Kunlun has returned to its former tranquility, but the Kunlun Sect today is different.

In the Kunlun Palace, Master Gu Yue and his apprentice were looking solemnly at the Kunlun elders below.

“Elders, according to the news we received, Elder Shi from the Patriarch Hall of Maoshan seems to have arrived at the Dali Trial.

A few days ago, an interesting incident occurred in the underworld. It seemed that the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty had a conflict with this Elder Shi, and in the end, the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty chose to compromise. "

Yuxuzi's words undoubtedly felt like an slap in the face to the elders of Kunlun.

Their Kunlun is also one of the five palaces of Taoism, but facing the relentless pressure from the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty in recent years, Kunlun's power in the underworld has been losing ground. Unfortunately, their Yuanshen ancestors are unable to intervene, and can only watch as the interests in the underworld are eroded step by step by the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty.

Now hearing that Maoshan was able to make the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty choose to shut up, Kunlun, who was also one of the Five Palaces of Taoism, felt a little ashamed. They had indeed declined, not only losing their former courage, but also their once glorious status.

Seeing the elders lowering their heads and becoming somewhat depressed, Yuxuzi hurriedly began to explain.

“My dear elders, I am not saying this to make you feel ashamed.

The decline of Kunlun is a fact, and I am also responsible for it. According to the ancestor, this Elder Shi from Maoshan is likely to become a new powerful Yuanshen master!
According to the relationship between Maoshan and Longhushan, it is conceivable that in the future, neither Maoshan nor Longhushan will suffer the same fate as our Kunlun today.

What the ancestor meant is that we should build a good relationship with Elder Shi. We don't ask for Elder Shi to help Kunlun in the future, but only ask that he not add insult to injury. That is enough.

I just wonder what magic tricks the elders have?
Let this Elder Shi come to Kunlun as a guest."
