Chapter 99: Chapter 86: The True King’s Ninth Refinement! Earth Bodhisattva Nirvana! _1
"Yes, sir,"
The voice of Chen Chang’an fell, the City God and the other officials of the Netherworld below bowed their heads in reverence.
They then stood silently on either side, awaiting Chen Chang’an’s next command.
"Hmm, let’s go."
Seeing this, Chen Chang’an nodded.
Next, he waved his sleeves.
Humm humm humm~!
The next moment, the space inside Emperor Song’s palace stirred and trembled suddenly.
Then a huge circular space crack appeared there.
Around the space crack, pulses of black aura were being constantly emitted.
It seemed like a desolate Star Sea.
Seeing this huge space crack,
The City God and other officials of the Netherworld were all shaken to their cores.
It is well known that pinching a Space Crack is the skill of Great Cultivators of the Eighth Stage.
While these Eighth Stage Great Cultivators could pinch the space,
They could only open a passageway of the size of a regular room, capable of accommodating dozens of people at most.
But for Emperor Song to create a space crack of such a size with a simple pinch?
Could such a thing really exist?
Both unimaginable and incredulous!
It seems his power has increased again.
The City God and others quickly realized this, and their gazes towards Chen Chang’an held a bit more awe and fear.
"Let’s go!"
However, no matter their awe and fear,
they dared not neglect Chen Chang’an’s command.
The next moment, under the guidance of the City God and the two Black-And-White Guards, a group of people stepped into the space.
Humm humm humm~!
The next instant, in a dark region,
A massive space crack suddenly appeared.
Immediately after, one after another, the officials of the Netherworld stepped out from it.
Already waiting here were many others, standing to one side.
The one at the very front was a person hidden in the shadow, his face covered with a dark mask. The others also had their own disguises.
They all wore the uniform ’Underworld Black Clothes,’ a sight of somber solemnity.
"Welcome, Lord Emperor Song."
Upon seeing the space crack in the sky, they immediately bowed in reverence.
"Hmm."
At this time, Chen Chang’an also stepped out from the space.
In response to their salute, he nodded.
Then, he looked towards the highest place.
There sat an ancient altar, bathed in soft lantern light, filled with the air of the passage of time.
Above the altar floated an unparalleled king’s throne.
Although the throne was unoccupied, just its hovering presence emitted a mighty aura that made the entire Star Sea shiver in terror.
Next, with a single step from Chen Chang’an, he reappeared on the king’s throne.
"Greetings, sir,"
At this moment, the ten thousand officials of the Netherworld once again saluted Chen Chang’an in unison.
Their eyes were filled with solemn respect.
"Hmm."
Chen Chang’an nodded, then a very faint, magnetic voice came from his lips,
"I have already known about the matter."
"I have also set up a complete formation outside the Undying Mountain."
"You can proceed."
"Where is Earth Bodhisattva?"
After saying that, Chen Chang’an asked the crowd below.
"Reporting to sir, subordinate is here."
Hearing Chen Chang’an’s words, one of the officials of the Netherworld in black robes immediately stepped forward and bowed to Chen Chang’an’s direction.
It was Earth Bodhisattva, Mao Ruxue.
"The Phoenix goes through Nirvana, always with one luck for nine disasters."
"If a man wants to defy the heavens, he must go through life and death, breaking through the disaster challenge to see the moon through the clouds."
"For the secret altar ceremony, we, Emperor Song’s palace, currently have twelve ways to cross the disaster."
"The lower three are ’Life Demons’."
"The middle three are ’Heaven Wonders’."
"And the upper three are ’True Kings’."
"Lower, middle, upper, each has different disasters."
"From bottom to top, from nine deaths and one life to ten deaths and no life."
"Naturally, the Dharma Aspects they obtain are also different."
"My previous promise was to grant a crossing technique to those under Earth Bodhisattva."
"You are under Earth Bodhisattva."
"So, I grant you one crossing technique."
"However, is it the lower three ’Life Demons’"
"Or the middle three ’Heaven Wonders’,"
"Or perhaps even the upper three ’True Kings’."
"This will be up to you to decide."
After saying this, Chen Chang’an looked at Mao Ruxue, waiting for her answer. Chen Chang’an was not in a hurry.
"Sir Emperor Song, may this disciple ask a question?"
Mao Ruxue did not rush to answer, instead she respectfully asked a question.
At this time, she addressed herself as a disciple, which was quite appropriate.
Considering her cultivation technique, it was originally bestowed by Chen Chang’an.
As she has been marked as being part of Emperor Song’s lineage,
So, addressing herself as a disciple was not inappropriate at all.
On the contrary, it carried a sense of humility.
Although they were all subordinates of Emperor Song, one addresses himself as ’subordinate’ and another as disciple, and the feelings they gave to Emperor Song regarding their closeness or distance were absolutely different.
Chen Chang’an nodded, "Speak."
Mao Ruxue then asked,
"May I ask, sir, when the Black-And-White Guards crossed the disaster, which path did they take?"
"The upper three, the True King!" said Chen Chang’an.
The upper three techniques, the True King, ten deaths and no life!
Hearing this, a flash of enlightenment crossed Mao Ruxue’s mind, and she said,
"Sir, this disciple has made her choice."
"Disciple also chooses the upper three, the True King!"
"You sure?" Chen Chang’an asked.
Mao Ruxue bowed and affirmed firmly,
"This disciple is sure."
