Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws - Chapter 1150
Chapter 1150: Shenshu’s Request, Restore the Cycle of Reincarnation, the Six Gates of Samsara
In the Fengdu Underworld City, as a black halo circulated the Emperor Seal, a surge of powerful samsara energy spread everywhere, engulfing the whole Fengdu Underworld City within it.
All of the dead souls immediately fell to the ground uncontrollably.
Even the white-robed female ghost, who was sent flying earlier, was no exception. Despite being a top-tier True Immortal, all she could do now was kneel on the ground.
“Impossible. This is impossible!”
“How could the Samsara Emperor Seal automatically acknowledge him as its Master?!”
“What kind of person is he?!”
Confusion, doubts, and shock lingered in the female ghost’s mind, followed by a sense of panic she had never felt before.
Now that the Emperor Seal had acknowledged Chu Kuangren as its master, Chu Kuangren was now the ruler of the Fengdu Underworld City. The life and death of millions of dead souls, which naturally included her, was now under his control!
She had been disrespectful to Chu Kuangren earlier, so if he wished to kill her, he could do it with a single thought.
That was the power of the Ghost Emperor!
…
He, as the superior, could suppress those inferior.
Even if Chu Kuangren did not have the cultivation level of a Ghost Emperor, having the Samsara Emperor Seal still allowed him to possess the power of a Ghost Emperor in Fengdu Underworld City. That was how domineering and unreasonable the Emperor Seal’s power was.
Chu Kuangren was now bathed in Immortal Sparks in the air with surges of samsara energy surrounding him. He could control and channel the death qi and source energies inside Fengdu Underworld City whenever he wished.
He even had a feeling.
Whichever dead soul he wanted dead would certainly die!
“Is this the power of the Ghost Emperor?” Chu Kuangren mumbled.
“That’s right. A Ghost Emperor is the leader of all ghosts and the most supreme ruler in Fengdu Underworld City. As of now, you have become a Ghost Emperor!”
A voice rang in Chu Kuangren’s ear. To be more precise, it was coming from within the Samsara Emperor Seal before him.
Chu Kuangren was not surprised. He looked at the Emperor Seal and said calmly, “If I’m not mistaken, you must be Shenshu, the former Ghost Emperor.”
Shenshu chuckled. “You’re right.”
“Well, you really live up to the name as a Ghost Emperor. After all these years, there’s still a remnant of your Immortal Consciousness in this world,” Chu Kuangren said.
“I’m only a remnant strand of Immortal Consciousness that has been stored inside the Emperor Seal. Now that the Emperor Seal has acknowledged you, young man, as its master, this Immortal Consciousness of mine will disappear in due time,” replied Ghost Emperor Shenshu.
“Why has it acknowledged me as its master? Is it because of my Heavenly Samsara Physique?” Chu Kuangren asked curiously.
He knew that Shenshu had sensed the presence of his Heavenly Samsara Physique. However, if Shenshu were unwilling to let the Emperor Seal acknowledge Chu Kuangren as its master, he would still need some time to refine the Emperor Seal.
There was no way the Emperor Seal would fall into his control that easily, seeing that he had not refined it.
“The Heavenly Samsara Physique has been rare to find since ancient times. Ever since the ancient Immortal era, there have only been two hosts of the Heavenly Samsara Physique. One of them was the creator of the three great Underworld cities, known as the Divine Underworld Daoist.”
“The second person with this physique is the Demonic Dao’s Demon Samsara Ruler. This makes you the third person I know who possesses this physique. Even if I’m unwilling to give this Emperor Seal to you, it’s only a matter of time before you refine this Emperor Seal with your Heavenly Samsara Physique. In fact, I gave you the Emperor Seal on my own accord because I have something to request of you.”
Chu Kuangren went silent for a while. “Alright, tell me.”
“I hope you can… restore the cycle of reincarnation!”
Restore the cycle of reincarnation!
Those few words carried a tremendous responsibility. When Chu Kuangren heard that, his heart sank. “Restore the cycle of reincarnation?! Oh my. You must’ve overestimated me a little bit too much, former Ghost Emperor.”
“Back in the days, the three great Underworld cities were so powerful that they could face off against the two great Immortal Halls. How am I supposed to restore the cycle of reincarnation alone?”
“The Divine Underworld Daoist back then also possessed the same Heavenly Samsara Physique as you, and he established the three great Underworld cities with his bare hands. What’s the matter, young man? Don’t you feel confident?”
Chu Kuangren raised his brows. “Goading me to take action, huh? Do you think that old-fashioned technique will work on me?”
“That was never my intention.”
“Heh, this is certainly interesting. However, when I become the Immortal World Ruler, I don’t see why I can’t do it.”
Shenshu immediately froze upon hearing that.
He did not expect Chu Kuangren to be so ambitious.
‘He wants to become the Immortal World Ruler?’
‘And then restore the cycle of reincarnation while he’s at it?!’
“In that case, I shall wish you good luck on your journey to reach the pinnacle of Immortal Dao.” Shenshu chuckled.
Following that, a black ray of light radiated from the Samsara Emperor Seal and entered Chu Kuangren’s mind. Inside his mind, that ray of light unveiled itself in the form of various information.
It was information about restoring the cycle of reincarnation and some of Shenshu’s past cultivation experience, which consisted of various Ghost Dao cultivation techniques.
The most important information was about the Underworld city.
If one wished to restore the cycle of reincarnation, they would first have to rebuild the Underworld city!
However, the Underworld city was destroyed long ago, unlike some inheritances that had been passed down in the ancient immortal orthodoxies. During the ancient Immortal period, the Fengdu Underworld City bore the brunt of the catastrophe that caused the Immortal World to shatter into countless fragments.
That catastrophe happened so abruptly that the Fengdu Underworld City did not leave behind any inheritance.
“Alright. If I want to restore the cycle of reincarnation, I’ll have to start here first,” Chu Kuangren mumbled as he looked at the ruins of the Fengdu Underworld City.
With the Samsara Emperor Seal in hand, he leaped into the air. His body shone with Immortal Sparks while terrifying auras emanated everywhere.
The surrounding dead souls all shuddered with fear.
“What is he trying to do?”
Some of the cultivators were puzzled.
However, they then saw countless Daoist patterns flowing in the sky above the Fengdu Underworld City, reflecting six gigantic vortexes.
Mysterious energy was emanating from within the vortexes.
“This… This is the Six Gates of Samsara1!”
Some cultivators gasped as they thought of something.
The Six Gates of Samsara formed the very foundation of the Underworld city’s operation. Every process of reincarnation was built above the Six Gates of Samsara themselves.
“He has summoned the Six Gates of Samsara!”
“How did he do it?”
“Could it be? Has he really become Fengdu Underworld City’s Ghost Emperor?”
“He must’ve. If he’s not a Ghost Emperor, how can he summon the Six Gates of Samsara so easily?”
Everyone stared at the Six Gates of Samsara in amazement.
Even they, as humans, had only heard of the Six Gates of Samsara in legends.
Up in the air, Chu Kuangren looked at the Gates of Samsara and noticed there were a lot of damage to the Daoist patterns connecting the gates together.
That was the main reason why Fengdu Underworld City was overloaded with dead souls.
It was because of a problem in Fengdu City’s reincarnation mechanism that caused a huge number of dead souls to linger around the place. As the rage of those dead souls turned into rage qi, they started devouring each other, resulting in whatever happened today.
If he wanted to rebuild the Underworld city, he would have to repair the Six Gates of Samsara first.
“According to Shenshu’s memory, the Six Gates of Samsara is formed by the Six Realms Reincarnation Formation technique.”
“What a coincidence. I just happen to know a few things about formations myself. Although I can’t repair it all now, I can at least make it operate normally with my power as a Ghost Emperor,” Chu Kuangren said to himself.
Then, he took action.
Using his Heavenly Samsara Physique to activate the Samsara Emperor Seal, Chu Kuangren started to repair the damaged Daoist patterns, which was the Six Realms Reincarnation Formation by extension.
It was a very huge undertaking, so it required some time to complete.
As such, Chu Kuangren glanced at the white-robed female ghost in the distance. With a thought from his mind, he commanded her to lead the dead souls and the humans, except those from the Hundred Academy, out from Fengdu Underworld City.
Afraid to object, the white-robed female ghost followed his command obediently.
She believed that it was a chance for her to survive. As long as she behaved and performed well, Chu Kuangren would certainly see her value and allow her to live.
