Chapter 820: Chapter 25: Sea Calming Divine Treasure, Patrolling Yin and Yang

Deep in the East Sea, the Nether Spring of the Underworld.

A gigantic Sea Calming Divine Treasure emitted a golden glow, causing the Golden Ring that spanned the Yin and Yang Realms to tremble in unison.

The frequency and amplitude of this tremor were so exaggerated that signs of high tides appeared throughout the entire East Sea.

In a very short time, the raging waves engulfed the ten continents and three islands, with fierce winds and torrential rain rapidly spreading towards the mainland.

"What’s going on?"

Seeing the tremors of the Sea Calming Divine Treasure becoming increasingly terrifying, the Divine Monarch Mengzhang finally appeared.

A blue Azure Dragon tore through the layers of clouds in the sky, diving into the ocean depths with lightning speed.

Hundreds and thousands of East Sea Dragons followed suit, manifesting their dragon forms and rushing toward the massive Sea Calming Divine Treasure.

Under the protection of the Divine Monarch Mengzhang, the East Sea Dragon Race had long become the most prosperous and powerful dragon race among the Four Seas.

Their daily tasks were to help the Divine Monarch Mengzhang maintain order in the East Sea and monitor all abnormal phenomena within the ten continents and three islands.

Therefore, when the tsunami appeared, almost the entire East Sea Dragon Race realized the unusualness behind this high tide phenomenon.

Besides the dragons already present, more dragons surged towards the Nether Spring from all directions.

Among them, the East Sea Dragon King Ao Guang was the most enthusiastic.

To keep up with the speed of the Divine Monarch Mengzhang, Ao Guang’s body stretched into a straight line, piercing through the ocean like a blue lightning bolt.

When Ao Guang arrived near the Nether Spring, the Divine Monarch Mengzhang had already stopped.

Encircling the golden Sea God’s Pillar, the Divine Monarch Mengzhang gazed solemnly at the completely dark abyss below.

That pitch-black abyss was the passage to the Underworld, the true Nether Spring.

Half of the pillar of the Sea Calming Divine Treasure was inserted into the Nether Spring, yet no seawater flowed in.

Ao Guang knew it was because the rules of the Underworld and the present world were entirely different.

The Underworld lacked the concept of "material," so anything possessing a material entity couldn’t appear in the Underworld.

Benefiting from this, the East Sea didn’t dry up by trying to fill that bottomless pit, always maintaining a state of mutual repulsion between Yin and Yang.

However, the Nether Spring was clearly not in its normal state at the moment.

While the seawater of the East Sea couldn’t surge into the Underworld, the Qi from the Netherworld gushed continuously from the other world.

Nether Qi is not a specific Primordial Qi but a collective term for the Qi originating from the Netherworld.

When those chaotic Qi from the Netherworld intertwined with the Qi of the present world, the collision of rules between the two worlds became far more dangerous than the tsunami observable to the naked eye.

Even this is the result of the Three Realms becoming increasingly harmonious since the Tao Ancestor attained enlightenment.

If it were before the birth of the Sea Calming Divine Treasure, just the previous collision alone would have plunged the two realms into crisis.

"What is that?"

Following closely behind the Divine Monarch Mengzhang, Ao Guang cast his gaze toward the other end of the Nether Spring.

Then, as if responding to Ao Guang’s words.

Seventy-two distinct Nether Qi pierced through the barrier between the two realms, appearing in the present world in an almost unbelievable manner.

Those seventy-two Nether Qi entwined in pairs, forming thirty-six spells of Spiritual Light.

"Netherworld Sword."

It seemed both a response to Ao Guang’s question and a simple affirmation of the entity’s identity.

Before the words of the Divine Monarch Mengzhang even fell, the thirty-six spells of Spiritual Light converged into one, transforming into a gigantic black sword that shattered the chaotic Nether Qi.

"Damn it!"

"Could you folks in the mortal world create less trouble?"

As the deep voice of Oxhead sounded from within the Netherworld Sword, the Divine Monarch Mengzhang immediately revealed a reassuring expression.

Despite Oxhead’s frequent mishaps, his very presence symbolized the order of the Yin and Yang realms.

Wherever Oxhead appeared, it basically indicated that the situation hadn’t reached the worst-case scenario.

At least, as long as Oxhead hadn’t had an accident, the situation was manageable.

"This time it has nothing to do with us; it seems that something went wrong on your end."

The voice of the Divine Monarch Mengzhang was equally powerful, but it carried a slight sense of depression.

As the guardian of the Nether Spring, the Divine Monarch Mengzhang shared a rather good relationship with Oxhead and Horseface, and they would exchange gossip and insights on cultivation across realms from time to time.

"You are talking nonsense!"

Unhesitatingly refuting the Divine Monarch Mengzhang’s statement, the silhouette of Oxhead slowly emerged from the Netherworld Sword.

In such a chaotic moment between realms, only Yin Spirits of the caliber and duty of Oxhead and Horseface could freely move between the Yin and Yang realms.

This was a privilege granted to them by the Lord of the Netherworld, which distinguished Oxhead and Horseface from other Yin Spirits.

They were sheriffs of the Yin Department and patrollers of the mortal world.

In the Underworld, Emperor Fengdu was their backing.

In the mortal world, the Mansion Lord of Mount Tai became their support.

Whenever needed, Oxhead and Horseface could immediately contact Emperor Fengdu and the Mansion Lord of Mount Tai, embodying a sort of "the imperial envoy is here, royal authority granted."

"There was clearly a soul trying to reincarnate; that’s why the Nether Spring was forcibly opened."

Upon those words, surprise widened the mouth of the Divine Monarch Mengzhang, and his slender, winding form momentarily paused.

"A soul trying to reincarnate? So the Nether Spring was opened?"

"How is that possible? Are you joking?"

It’s hard to blame the Divine Monarch Mengzhang for being so shocked; Oxhead’s claim was simply too incongruent.

Since the establishment of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, souls automatically head to the Netherworld; those unwilling to go would be forcibly escorted by ghost messengers to the Fengdu Ghost City.

Thus, whichever way you look, there was no need to go through the Nether Spring to enter the Netherworld, right?

Even taking a thousand steps back, how could a mere soul’s desire to reincarnate cause the Nether Spring to rampage?

"I’m not in the mood to joke with you now."

Oxhead lowed in irritation, gazing at the still trembling Sea Calming Divine Treasure with a sigh.

"If it were a normal soul wanting to reincarnate, it naturally wouldn’t need to enter the Netherworld via the Nether Spring."

"But what if someone doesn’t want to follow the regular process?"

Understanding the implied meaning, Divine Monarch Mengzhang almost immediately grasped the situation.

"Someone wishes to retain memories, carrying obsessions into the Six Paths of Reincarnation?"

Words couldn’t hide the shock and realization; the Divine Monarch Mengzhang’s second reaction was confusion and disbelief.

"Can this even work?"

"Skipping Fengdu Ghost City’s judgment and Granny Meng’s soup, forcefully reincarnating with memories and obsessions—isn’t this no different from soul possession and rebirth?"

"If that’s the case, why go to such lengths?"

The entity capable of causing such turmoil theoretically wouldn’t need to undergo the Six Paths of Reincarnation to achieve soul possession and rebirth.

Thus, the Divine Monarch Mengzhang couldn’t understand who would go to such lengths.
