Chapter 518: Chapter 517: The Unity of Three Generations, Paralleling the Heavenly Dao
When alive, The Ten Halls of Yama were famously formidable figures in the Immortal Realm, in the late stage of Golden Immortal cultivation, objects of worship for countless immortals. They sometimes dared to defy the orders of the Immortal Emperor, let alone after their death when they mastered the way of Reincarnation, their battle power even surpassed that when they were alive.
If the Underworld could have interfered with the mortal realm, and The Ten Halls of Yama could have fought against the Immortal Realm, their combined power could match a Primordial Immortal!
However, when facing Jiang Li, they were like children who had no power to even tie a chicken, dealing with ancient evil beasts, their struggle was simply not a battle.
The Wheel-turning King dared not fight Jiang Li anymore, he retreated far away, dug out King Chu Jiang from the ground, and King Chu Jiang put out the Netherworld Ghost Fire on the body of Emperor Song King.
The other seven Halls of Yama were not in great shape either.
King Wu Guan acted, depriving Jiang Li of his five senses, making him blind, deaf, unable to smell, taste, or feel.
King Wu Guan ruled over Loneliness Hell, depriving the five senses could plunge a person into the most desperate loneliness.
Just as King Wu Guan was pleased with his achievement, Jiang Li threw a punch, leaving King Wu Guan’s face unrecognizable.
Kings Yama, Equality, and Bian Cheng… six Halls of Yama were defeated in turn, so quickly it seemed like they all failed at once.
Their flashy skills didn’t block a single punch from Jiang Li.
The Ten Halls of Yama didn’t admit defeat and wished to continue challenging Jiang Li.
“Still won’t admit defeat?” Jiang Li felt these ten Kings were extremely determined.
King Chu Jiang showed his teeth, less than half left: “I don’t know if you’re stronger or weaker than Heavenly Dao, but you didn’t hit me as hard as Heavenly Dao. Heavenly Dao knocked out half of my teeth, you only knocked out two.”
With King Chu Jiang’s cultivation, restoring teeth was a very simple task. He hadn’t restored them because he wanted to prove that he had once battled Heavenly Dao.
Battling with Heavenly Dao brought glory in defeat.
Jiang Li silently lifted up his fist, ready to throw a punch with all his might.
The Ten Halls of Yama were extremely scared, they rushed behind the female ghost servant, begging for protection.
Jiang Li laughed: “Hou Tu, or should I call you Empress Hou Tu?”
The female ghost servant stopped pretending, revealed her true form, it was Empress Hou Tu, dressed in black immortal robe, always maintaining a gentle smile.
“Empress Hou Tu is fine, did you recognize me, Emperor Jiang?”
“Didn’t the Empress mean to disguise herself at all?”
“I hope the Human Emperor can understand, the Ten Halls of Yama didn’t mean to attack, I had a hand in it.” Empress Hou Tu apologized and led Jiang Li to the dark city, followed by the limping Ten Halls of Yama.
Empress Hou Tu glared: “What are you all following for, why aren’t you working?”
“Considering our injuries, why don’t you give us a few days off?”
King Chu Jiang pitifully showed off his wounds, Emperor Song King was covered in burns, which looked even worse than King Chu Jiang, King Wu Guan’s facial features were disordered, he didn’t fare much better…
Empress Hou Tu sighed: “Alright, take three days off then, you find some reliable subordinates to temporarily take over your position.”
The Ten Halls of Yama cheered, healed their injuries, left work, and went home.
Jiang Li exercised restraint.
Empress Hou Tu rubbed her forehead, naturally, she could see that they were pretending. She was just finding an excuse to give them a break.
After all, they hadn’t rested for hundreds of years.
“Heavenly Dao once said, after his death, he saw a person from the future, unfathomable, far surpassing the Heavenly Dao, could be called the first person since ancient times.”
“I think you are the person Heavenly Dao talked about, so I let the Ten Halls of Yama test you.”
“Did the Empress test it out?”
Empress Hou Tu shook her head, pursed her lips, smiled helplessly: “No, you are too powerful, you weren’t even trying during the previous battle. I was watching from beginning to end, but I couldn’t see your limit.”
“Does the Empress want to try?”
“How much power did you use just now?”
“Haven’t even got warmed up yet.”
He hadn’t even tried hard in that previous fight?
Empress Hou Tu shook her head: “Then, let’s not try it. No wonder Heavenly Dao said you could surpass the Heavenly Dao. You’re too strong, I know I can’t beat you, there’s no need to embarrass myself.”
“I’m afraid only Heavenly Dao could get you warmed up.”
“It’s not necessarily Heavenly Dao, I encountered two of myself from parallel worlds before, I fought with them, they can be considered worthy opponents.”
“Does a parallel world really exist?” Empress Hou Tu knew about the theory of parallel worlds, but she had never seen anyone who had been to a parallel world.
Jiang Li recounted his encounter with Chu Emperor and Idle Man in his dream.
“So, it should be a parallel world undoubtedly. Buddha once said that some things are uncertain. For example, he might have achieved enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, or he might have achieved enlightenment under a banana tree. Achieving enlightenment under the Bodhi tree is the current him, achieving enlightenment under a banana tree is him in a parallel world.”
“The Buddha said this was his hypothesis when he realized the Dao of Space, not necessarily true, but now from what you’ve said, it seems that parallel worlds do exist.”
“What does the Wheel-turning King mean when he says I have no past lives and no future lives?”
After thinking about it, Empress Hou Tu said: “I heard Heavenly Dao say that he has always been pursuing a state, focusing on the present life, uniting three lives into one, becoming independent from the Ten Thousand Realms, eliminating karma, and becoming a true Immortal equal to the Heavenly Dao.”
“Uniting three lives into one doesn’t mean you have no past life, it just means that only you know about your past life, outsiders can’t snoop.”
“And you won’t have a future life, because this state is already the most powerful, it won’t be destroyed for all eternity, it can’t die, and even if you want to commit suicide, you can’t.”
“He has tried many methods, has even completed the difficult Three Corpses Cultivation Method, but only got to Three Corpses in Unity, not Three Lives in Unity.”
Empress Hou Tu looked at Jiang Li with a complicated expression: “You should have reached this step, no, you definitely went further. If you only reached Three Lives in Unity, Heavenly Dao could see through.”
“If Heavenly Dao can’t see through you, it means you’ve reached the place where Heavenly Dao can’t even touch.”
Empress Hou Tu remembered that she once asked Heavenly Dao how powerful the man from the future was.
Heavenly Dao’s answer was, It’s time to test your imagination.
Jiang Li understood why the Yin Yang Heaven Seal couldn’t see his karma, he had reached the Three Lives in Unity stage, eliminating his own karma.
“Does the Empress know a place called Blue Star?”
Empress Hou Tu asked: “Do you know what the world called where a particular planet is located?”
Jiang Li shook his head.
Empress Hou Tu regretfully said: “Then I can’t help you. We reincarnate according to worlds, and do not care if it’s a Blue Star or a Red Star. We don’t have the habit of observing stars.”
“If the Human Emperor wants the coordinates of the Ten Thousand Realms, I can give them to you.”
“So generous?”
Empress Hou Tu smiled: “The Human Emperor is saving the world, for us, it’s beneficial and harmless. The more worlds you save, the more prosperous the world would be, the more new life there would be, then the less pressure on our Underworld, it’s a win-win.”
Jiang Li took the soul jade pendant handed over by Empress Hou Tu, in it were the coordinates of all the Ten Thousand Realms.
Empress Hou Tu had already prepared the jade pendant, waiting for Jiang Li to accept.
