A hundred years later.
Fengdu, the imperial palace.
Meng Po, who had a hunched body but was extremely powerful, walked slowly into the empress's bedroom with a cane.
A graceful and heroic woman appeared out of nowhere and stopped Meng Po who was about to approach the White-haired Witch. "Ms. Meng Po, His Majesty is practicing martial arts. Please wait a moment."
"Madam Xue, these are the evil spirits of this month, a total of 372. Please, General, pass them over to His Majesty." Meng Po took out a spooky ghost gourd and handed it respectfully to the female general Fan Lihua in front of her.
Fan Lihua was one of the famous heroines in ancient times. She, together with Xue Dingshan, quelled the rebellion in the northwest border and was admired by people for her bravery and wisdom.
She is a woman who combines beauty and wisdom, with a clear distinction between love and hate. Not only is she brave and good at fighting on the battlefield, but she is also good at both literature and martial arts, and has a broad mind.
In orthodox mythology, Fan Lihua is a disciple of Lishan Laomu and the senior sister of Bai Suzhen.
However, in this magically modified mythological world, after Fan Lihua's death, she actually formed a team, occupied the mountain and became the king of the underworld, becoming one of the 108 ghost kings in the underworld.
The White-haired Witch entered Fengdu and succeeded the position of Fengdu Emperor, but she would not allow any wild ghost kings to exist near Fengdu.
After spending thirty years to improve her cultivation to the Yang God Realm, she began to lead her subordinates to eliminate the evil spirits and monsters within the sphere of influence. After fighting for more than ten years, the local forces in the Eastern Underworld were either annexed and incorporated into the Underworld system to become employees, or were completely eradicated.
The Ghost King Fan Lihua, who calls herself Madam Xue, was obviously one of the ones who were annexed.
As a woman, Bingbing admired this female general from the Tang Dynasty very much, so after capturing her, she brought her to Cheng Long and asked him to use puppetry to turn Fan Lihua into his own.
At first, Mrs. Xue was very resistant to this, but when Cheng Long took out the first half of the ghost martial arts "Taiyin Xuanjing" at Bingbing's request, her attitude immediately changed 180 degrees, and she accepted the three masters, Cheng Long, the White-haired Witch, and the Golden Swallow, from the bottom of her heart.
Because the first half of the Taiyin Xuanjing allowed her to practice smoothly all the way to the celestial fairyland.
You must know that the Jade Emperor, who dominates the three realms, cultivated to the celestial realm because of the Pluto's voluntary surrender a hundred years ago, which made Heavenly Court the true Emperor who ruled over the three realms. Only then was he able to advance to the celestial realm with the help of the Heavenly Emperor's position.
Fan Lihua, who has obtained the Taiyin Xuanjing, only needs to practice step by step to achieve the goal of becoming a celestial being.
The excited Mrs. Xue climbed onto Cheng Long's bed that night...
Not long after Meng Po left.
Empress Murong Bingbing, dressed in a black robe, slowly opened her eyes, and a sharp light flashed in her eyes.
"Your Majesty, these are the evil spirits submitted by the Evil Punishment Department this month, a total of 372."
Fan Lihua presented a ghost gourd with both hands. The 372 evil spirits imprisoned inside were all people who deserved to die. In the past, these evil spirits would be sent to the blood river to be baptized by evil spirits for at least ten thousand years.
Now I can save myself a lot of trouble!
"Take it and follow me to the human world to meet the master."
Having been an empress for a hundred years, the cold and beautiful white-haired witch is becoming more and more like an iceberg. She only smiles in front of Cheng Long and Jin Yanzi, and is as kind as an older sister next door. In Fengdu, everyone fears the iron-blooded empress.
Over the past hundred years, countless ghost kings and great demons had their spirits devoured by her, making the demons shudder at the mention of her, and no one dared to act recklessly in Fengdu.
Under her rule, Fengdu became more and more orderly. Even on July 14, the annual carnival day of the underworld, few demons dared to walk out of the ghost gate and arrest those who wandered the streets without knowing whether to live or die.
the reason is simple.
——Eating human flesh is forbidden in Fengdu!
This is an iron rule!
One found will die.
This also caused many demons and monsters who wanted to eat humans to be unable to bear it and turned to Hades or Ksitigarbha.
However, since Hades has surrendered to the Heaven, the Jade Emperor does not allow demons to act recklessly and only allows demons under Hades to capture people in a small area to satisfy their cravings. Therefore, the evil ghosts and big demons who have surrendered to Ksitigarbha are far more powerful than Hades.
As a result, the countries in the Western Wilderness of the human world gradually became a paradise for demons.
Just as described in Journey to the West, the closer you get to Leiyin Temple, the more man-eating monsters there are.
……
Middle-earth, RV campsite.
After a hundred years of practice, the 118-year-old Golden Swallow still exudes a youthful attitude that is ignorant of the world. She has practiced to the initial stage of the Tribulation Realm, and at this moment she is as happy as a swallow, constantly performing light skills in the jungle near the camp and chasing dancing butterflies.
Unlike the White-haired Witch, she was not keen on spiritual practice, so she devoured fewer evil spirits.
But even so, Jin Yanzi's cultivation level was quickly surpassing that of Bai Ling and Ning Zhongze. However, the reason why her cultivation level could be improved so quickly was mainly because Bingbing was in charge of Fengdu, and she could continuously obtain evil spirits and absorb their essence to improve her cultivation level.
Because Bai Ling and Ning Zhongze practice different techniques, they can only absorb the pure yin energy from the soul-nourishing jade.
However, they had only practiced for a few hundred years and had advanced all the way from ghost spirits to above ghost immortals, becoming night-wandering gods comparable to the great ones who could transcend tribulations. If they were in the world of mortal immortals, Han Paopao, who had practiced hard for hundreds of years and experienced countless tribulations before reaching the Jindan stage, would probably be so envious that his heart would collapse.
"Xiaoyanzi, your sister Bingbing is here, come back quickly!"
I don’t know how long it had been, but Golden Swallow, who was playing with butterflies in the forest, suddenly heard her husband’s call. She waved her jade hand, caught the colorful butterfly in front of her, and then teleported to the RV camp.
This RV, which has experienced a century of wind and rain, still looks as good as new. As early as ninety years ago, it was made into a magic weapon by the idle Jin Yanzi. The interior decoration has been replaced several times.
"Bingbing, I see that you have made great progress in your Taoist practice and have managed Fengdu in perfect order. Now that you have completed your merits and virtues, it will be just around the corner for you to overcome the calamity and become an immortal!" Cheng Long's face was filled with satisfaction as he looked at the White-haired Witch who had grown into an empress under his painstaking training.
After following me in cultivation for a hundred years, he has now reached the perfect level of the Tribulation Realm. It will be no problem for him to overcome the tribulation and become an immortal.
"My achievements today are all thanks to you, my master!" The white-haired witch's beautiful eyes moved as she expressed gratitude from the bottom of her heart.
"That also requires your hard work. Look, Xiaoyanzi and I were together half a year earlier than you. Now you are about to pass the tribulation and become an immortal, but she hasn't even reached the middle stage of the tribulation..."
Cheng Long does not plan to bring Xiaoyanzi back to the main world, because the spiritual energy in the Hong Kong world is not sufficient. Taking her back will delay Jinyanzi's practice.
As long as you stay in the world of Kung Fu King and reach the real fairyland, you don’t have to worry about the problem of spiritual energy.
Going further up, it becomes a bit stretched.
The upper limit of the world of Kung Fu King is very low, and the realm of heavenly immortals is almost the limit of cultivation.
Look, Cheng Long cultivated to the celestial fairyland a hundred years ago, and he is still in the celestial fairyland a hundred years later. Although he has cultivated from the initial stage to the later stage, the progress bar is still 79% away from the perfection of the celestial fairyland.
Of course, this speed of cultivation is actually not slow.
Immortals in the world may spend a thousand to eight hundred years in seclusion, and only improve to a small level after coming out of seclusion, or even remain at the same level.
Cheng Long was just used to improving once every few years, and improving two small realms in a hundred years was of course too slow.
"Husband, you are so annoying. You are saying bad things about me again."
Jin Yanzi, who heard the conversation between the two, landed lightly like a bird, walked in front of Cheng Long, and hit the man's chest with her pink fist.
Ever since she took revenge a hundred years ago, Jin Yanzi has lived a carefree life. She has a man who pampers her, and Sister Bingbing provides her with evil spirits from time to time. She has no idea how happy she is every day.
It is also because of the care of Cheng Long and Murong Bingbing that Xiaoyanzi, who is almost 120 years old, is still as playful and lively as an 18-year-old girl.
"Yanzi, I was just telling the truth, how did it become saying bad things about you?"
Cheng Long raised his eyebrows, pulled her into his arms with a wicked smile, and kissed Xiaoyanzi's delicate cheek.
When the White-haired Witch and Fan Lihua saw this scene, they all smiled knowingly.
The two have always treated Jin Yanzi as their younger sister and would pamper this girl every time they returned to the human world. Occasionally, when Xiao Yanzi wanted to visit Fengdu, they would accompany her the whole time, for fear that the blind demons and monsters in the underworld would bully her.
In fact, eight years ago, Jin Yanzi had cultivated to the realm of transcending tribulation. In the entire underworld, only Ksitigarbha and Hades were capable of taking her down. The other demon kings, ghost kings, and devil kings were all no match for her.
But they are just worried.
Jin Yanzi has become the darling of Cheng Long and his group.
"Husband, you said that cultivation requires a combination of work and rest. Now I'm doing what you said, and you blame me for being lazy. I think you just want to bully me." Jin Yanzi said angrily.
"Little Swallow, the master is doing this for your own good..."
The White-haired Witch had already noticed something at this time, and her brows were filled with reluctance.
But then she thought that Xiaoyanzi and she had signed a devil's contract, so no matter where the man went, they would meet again in the future, so she didn't think much about it.
It's just a period of separation.
The person who really needs to be worried about is Fan Lihua who is beside her.
Over the past hundred years, whenever she was too busy to take care of Cheng Long, it was always "Mrs. Xue" who took care of Cheng Long on her behalf at night.
Although the number of times is not too many, it still adds up to two or three hundred times. One night of love is worth a hundred days of grace. How could Mrs. Ghost King Xue not have feelings for her man!
"Ahua, go grab a sheep. I'll roast a whole sheep for you tonight."
"Yes, Master."
Fan Lihua, who was in the Yangshen realm, was no longer afraid of the scorching sun. After receiving Cheng Long's instructions, she turned around and went to the large grassland a few miles away. Cheng Long raised dozens of sheep there. She could just catch them when she wanted to eat. It was very convenient.
There are many pheasants and wild ducks in the forest. They were originally domestic poultry, but because they were raised in the wild, after dozens or hundreds of generations, they have all reverted to their original form and become wild.
But the meat is more tender than domestic ones...
At nine o'clock in the evening, the white-haired witch sitting around the campfire used the cleaning technique to wash off the oil stains on her hands and said, "Master, I am going to transcend the tribulation tonight."
Cheng Long asked, "Are you sure?"
"Ninety-nine percent, the risk is very low." After the White-haired Witch inherited the throne of King Yama, she also gained the favor of the underworld. The risk of overcoming the calamity and becoming an immortal is extremely low.
"Ninety-nine percent? That means you are still at risk of dying while overcoming the tribulation. Take this gem and it will keep you safe."
Cheng Long took out the Mind Stone and handed it to the White-haired Witch.
The Mind Gem is said to have infinite energy, but in the Marvel world it almost ran out of energy while feeding the Black Lotus of Destruction and fell apart. It hasn't recovered even after more than a hundred years.
Now it has only recovered 20% to 30% of its original state, but it is more than enough to survive the disaster and protect people.
"Wow, what a beautiful gem!"
The white-haired witch quickly took the gem and felt the seemingly endless energy inside. She said happily, "Master, you're just going to give me such a valuable treasure?"
"You wish. I'm just lending it to you for a while."
Cheng Long rolled his eyes.
The Soul Gem is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure that can nourish the World-Destroying Black Lotus. I only have two of them, so how can I easily give them to the White-haired Witch?
If it were Lei Zhilan or Zhu Wanfang, they would have to think twice.
"Hehe~~ I'm going to survive the tribulation."
Bingbing chuckled, and with a flash of her body, she left the RV camp alone.
"Why are you walking so fast? I want to go and have a look!"
Jin Yanzi curled her lips and grumbled in dissatisfaction.
"Boom!"
The White-haired Witch left not long ago.
A hundred kilometers away from the RV camp, in a deserted valley, the sky suddenly changed color and thunder roared.
Murong Bingbing's white hair fluttered in the wind, and her figure moved gracefully in the wind. She waved the magic knife in her hand toward the sky, making sharp sounds. In an instant, red light filled the sky, all around her.
boom!
A bunch of thunder as thick as buckets fell from the sky.
Murong Bingbing raised the magic knife above her head, and a red light burst out from the tip of the knife, forming a semi-arc-shaped red light shield to block the surging thunder.
sizzle...
The towering lightning pillar struck the red light shield and instantly turned into a sky full of lightning that spread in all directions.
Jin Yanzi, who appeared near the valley at some point, exclaimed: "Sister Bingbing's defense is so strong!"
Fan Lihua, who was standing by, was also stunned and exclaimed inwardly: "If this hit me, I would be reduced to ashes in an instant!"
"Bingbing really didn't let me down."
Looking at the heroic figure of the White-haired Witch when she was transcending the tribulation, Cheng Long couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.
Boom!
Just as the three of them were secretly marveling at each other, the calamity cloud that had been brewing for a long time once again dropped a bolt of lightning from the sky.
The result was that the defense could not be broken, and the same was true for the third and fourth lines.
It was not until the seventh heavenly thunder fell that the lightning column that penetrated the sky and earth finally broke through Bingbing's protective light shield, but it was quite difficult.
"Zizi..."
A huge and deep dark vortex rotated rapidly in the sky, lightning flashed and thunderous, and the wind howled.
The eighth heavenly thunder has been brewing and is reluctant to fall.
The White-haired Witch was not worried at all. The magic knife in her hand seemed to have a spirit, emitting a thousand-foot-long red light in excitement.
"I never thought that after a hundred years of separation, even this girl Murong has become so powerful and her cultivation is almost catching up with mine..." The sighing voice of Queen Mother suddenly rang in the ears of Cheng Long and others.
When the three of them looked back completely, they saw the Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, Sakyamuni and Amitabha Buddha coming together.
"Greetings to the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother..."
"Greetings to the Buddha..."
Jin Yanzi and Fan Lihua successively paid their respects to the four immortals.
Although the men around them are stronger than the Jade Emperor, Queen Mother and the two Buddhas, they still have to be polite.
"No need to be polite!"
The smiles of the Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, and Sakyamuni were each more amiable than the other.
In addition to Cheng Long, the outsider, and the four of them, the Three Realms have added another immortal, which the Jade Emperor and his entourage are very happy to hear.
Because the more people who attain immortality, the more they can promote the transformation of the world, making the world more broad. (End of this chapter)
