Chapter 179 Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches Determine Time

The underworld.

Huanglong suspended in the air, took out a scroll, and his voice spread throughout the wilderness again.

"The great road is above. I am the Yellow Dragon. Now I feel that there is a shortage in the underworld, so I hereby establish the twelve earthly branches."

"They are Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Ri, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai, corresponding to the twelve zodiac animals such as rat, rabbit, ox...pig."

"Divide the two branches of yin and yang, use this to sort out the earth's veins, assist the chronological movement of the netherworld, and perfect the transformation order of yin and yang. From then on, the twelve years form a cycle, and the cycle starts again and again. The cycle is endless. I hope the great road will learn from it."

As the words fell, the netherworld was divided into twelve veins. Each vein was filled with the extremely rich avenue of earth and part of time. On each earth branch, a phantom of the twelve zodiac signs appeared.

next moment.

Twelve figures flew out of the underworld. They were all living beings who died in the calamity of the Lich. They all had the perfect cultivation of Taiyi Golden Immortal during their lifetime.

Either the leader of a clan or the elder of a clan can represent the will of a clan.

Although they are all burdened with some karma, after all, in this environment, no living being is truly clean.

However, in comparison, they have less karma than many living beings.

Coupled with their race, they fit the image of the Chinese zodiac.

It is precisely for this reason that Huanglong found them one after another and asked them if they were willing to help with something. In return, Huanglong could eliminate the karma on their bodies.

Although they didn't know what Huang Long wanted them to do, none of them chose to refuse, or even hesitated too much.

Now that they have lost all their cultivation, only their souls are left in the underworld. What they have to face next is to survive the punishment of the eighteen levels of hell and successfully reincarnate.

Helping Huang Long do things can at least eliminate the karma on his body and save him from going to the 18th level of hell. For them, this is a thing with no harm at all. How can they refuse?

What's more, Huang Long has always had a good reputation in the prehistoric era, so there might be some benefit in working for him.

Until just now, after Huang Long made the declaration to establish the twelve earthly branches, they were convinced of this conjecture, and it was indeed beneficial to help Huang Long do things.

At the same time, they also understood what Huanglong needed them to do.

This is to make them representatives of the twelve earthly branches and important beings in the netherworld.

This is not to help them eliminate their karma, but to give them a huge amount of merit, which will not only allow them to resume their previous lives, but also hopefully even go a step further.

They didn't hesitate at all. When they turned into streams of light and flew high into the sky, they responded loudly:

"I am the leader of the Golden-Eyed Rat Tribe under the command of Saint Huanglong. Today, I am willing to use the power of my race to assist the movement of the twelve earthly branches, guide the direction of the terrain, promote the movement of time in the Netherworld, and control the earthly branches forever in every life."

"I am the master of the Black Water Ox under the command of Saint Huanglong. Today I wish..."

As their voices fell, the netherworld shook violently, and the tunnel sensed it, raining down a massive amount of merit, so large that it could not be seen at a glance.

Even if it was Jie Yin and Zhunti, they would be jealous of them.

They have worked tirelessly for so many years, and they are not as good as Mr. Huang's casual words.

About 30% of these merits fall on the twelve earthly branches map, making this acquired spiritual treasure refined into an acquired merit spiritual treasure.

From now on, with its suppression, the fortune of the twelve earthly branches will be as stable as a mountain.

Forty percent fell on the twelve earthly branch races, especially the masters of the races, who took this opportunity to seize the opportunity to not only restore their previous cultivation, but also to become Da Luo Jinxian and jump out of the long river of destiny.

You can enjoy great freedom and freedom, and the twelve earthly branches are therefore more stable.

With the return of the spirits of the twelve earthly branches, the avenue of time that had just appeared in the nether world became more perfect, the nether world became more complete, and the authority of the earth was further enhanced.

The Netherworld is also part of the prehistoric world, and it occupies a very large part.

The establishment of the twelve earthly branches of the Netherworld has made the power of time sequence more perfect in the prehistoric world. The prehistoric world has become more powerful, its origin has grown, and the evolution of heaven and earth has become more perfect.

The remaining three successful virtues fell on Huang Long. Without too much hesitation, he punched it into the twelve earthly branches, making it more agile, its aura more terrifying, and its quality improved to a higher level.

In order to refine the Twelve Earthly Branches Map, Huanglong consumed a large amount of precious spiritual objects. Nearly half of the demon clan spiritual objects sent by Emperor Jun were used in the Twelve Earthly Branches Diagram. It is itself a top-quality acquired spirit. precious.

After obtaining three successful virtues, it evolved into a supreme merit treasure. Now after obtaining three more successful virtues, it was immediately promoted to a supreme merit treasure.

With such a treasure of merit and virtue that suppresses the twelve earthly branches, as long as it is not a saint who takes action, there will be no problems.

Huanglong's two major actions in succession attracted the attention of many great powers in the prehistoric era.

They were immediately filled with emotion. Huang Long never took action every time. Once he did, it would definitely be a major event that shocked the world.

The ten golden crows turned into the ten underworld suns, which not only allowed Dijun's bloodline to continue, but also appeared in the world openly and became an important part of the netherworld and even the prehistoric world.

With the appearance of the ten Golden Crows, the Netherworld will become the first destination for the remnants of the Demon Clan to seek refuge in the future.

Although during the Lich Calamity, the demon tribe suffered many deaths, injuries, and suffered great losses.

But in their heyday, they were no weaker than the three clans of dragon, phoenix and unicorn.

As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if the demon clan suffers heavy losses, it is still a powerful force.

If the remnants of the demon race can be subdued, the strength of the netherworld will be greatly improved.

More importantly, the appearance of the ten dark suns has made the netherworld no longer imbalanced in yin and yang.

And under the rotation of the sun and the moon, the Avenue of Time has appeared in the netherworld.

It makes the yin and yang of the netherworld moderate, time orderly, makes the netherworld more perfect, and further enhances the authority of the earth.

As the saints of the earth, Huang Long and Hou Tu, their cultivation has been improved out of thin air.

Just when everyone thought that this matter had ended, Huang Long unexpectedly established the twelve earthly branches.

It gave time a more intuitive concept. From then on, twelve years is a cycle, repeating over and over again, and reincarnation never ends!

Not only did it further stabilize the time order of the netherworld, but it also affected the entire prehistoric world.

The Avenue of Time is the most basic avenue of the prehistoric world. Even if there is only a slight change, it will affect the entire world.

The appearance of the twelve earthly branches makes time more orderly, and makes the time avenue of the prehistoric world more complete and mysterious.

All the creatures who practiced the Great Dao of Time had their strength reduced, and a layer of fog appeared before their eyes.

But this was only temporary. As long as they broke through this layer of fog, their mastery of time would be further improved, and their strength would become even stronger.

Such a result made the prehistoric creatures more afraid of Huang Long.

At least other Heavenly Dao saints did not show the ability to influence the underlying rules of the prehistoric.

Today, the prehistoric world can influence the Great Dao of Time. Will it be able to influence the Great Dao of Space and the Great Dao of Life and Death tomorrow?

In the future, will it be difficult for the Golden Immortal of Daluo to travel through space? Will there be a limit on life span, and will they also need to accept the six reincarnations?

"It should be over this time..."

Many great powers in the prehistoric world could not help but sigh, thinking that this matter was almost over. If it continued like this, their Dao hearts would probably be affected.

However, this is not over yet!

When the twelve earthly branches stabilized and the ten dark suns hung high in the sky.

Huang Long took out another scroll and said aloud:

"The Great Dao is above, I am Huang Long, now I feel that the netherworld is lacking, so I specially establish ten heavenly stems."

"They are Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui. Among them, Jia, Bing, Wu, Geng, and Ren are Yang stems, and Yi, Ding, Ji, Xin, and Gui are Yin stems."

"Perfect the changes of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, stabilize the order of time, from now on, every twelve years is a circle, every sixty years is a cycle, repeating over and over again, reincarnation is endless, hope the Great Dao will learn from it."

Boom--!

As the voice fell, the netherworld shook violently again.

A vein appeared in the sky of the netherworld, and each vein was filled with extremely rich Yin and Yang, Five Elements, and part of the Great Dao of Time.

The next moment

Ten dark crows felt something in their hearts, and they manifested their true bodies in the dark sun, driving the dark sun to fly into the four heavenly veins, and said in unison:

"I am the three-legged dark crow under the command of the Yellow Dragon Saint. From now on, I am willing to use myself to assist the operation of the ten heavenly stems, promote the operation of the time sequence of the netherworld, and forever suppress the heavenly stems for generations to come!"

Boom boom!

The Heavenly Dao was touched and once again sent down a large amount of merit.

About 60% of them fell on the ten three-legged dark crows, allowing the sun's essence fire and the innate dead air to initially merge, turning into the Nine Netherworld Fires that still represent the extreme yang but contain the power of death.

In the future, as long as they fulfill their duties of illuminating the netherworld and rising and setting on time, they will be able to obtain a steady stream of merit. Sooner or later, they will be able to completely merge the sun's essence fire and the innate dead air.

No longer have to worry about the problem of the sun's essence fire and the innate dead air restraining each other, which will lead to the imbalance of the two great ways.

The remaining 40% of merit still fell on Huang Long, and he also put it into the Ten Heavenly Stems Atlas.

This acquired spiritual treasure was also promoted to an acquired merit treasure, used to suppress the Ten Heavenly Stems.

For the prehistoric beings, the changes in the Three-legged Dark Crow and the Ten Heavenly Stems Atlas are certainly enviable, but what they really care about is the impact of the Ten Heavenly Stems.

Although Emperor Jun also created the Ten Heavenly Stems when the demon clan heaven was still there, his cultivation and vision were limited. He only specified a timekeeping method, allowing Xihe to control the rising and setting of the sun and the moon, and have the magical power to master the avenue of time.

The Ten Heavenly Stems established by Huanglong are not so simple. He uses the Ten Heavenly Stems as the underlying rules of the netherworld, allowing the Ten Heavenly Stems to affect the Taiyin, the Sun and the innate five elements.

And combined with the twelve earthly branches, further improve the avenue of time and make time more vivid.

Moreover, the Ten Heavenly Stems established by Huanglong also interact with the Ten Heavenly Stems timekeeping established by the demon clan heaven, which affects the entire prehistoric avenue of time.

The cultivation of the creatures who practice the avenue of time is further reduced, and the time loopholes in the prehistoric world become fewer.

This has harmed the interests of many creatures in the prehistoric world, but no one dared to say anything.

Huang Long's actions, even if he had no understanding of the Avenue of Time before, he was still standing on the Avenue of Time.

As long as he wanted, the Avenue of Time would allow him to comprehend and mobilize, who would dare to trouble him?

Regarding the establishment of the Ten Heavenly Stems, many great powers in the prehistoric world had different reactions, and even the Heavenly Dao Saint could not remain indifferent.

But the one with the biggest emotional changes was the remnant soul of Xihe.

Taiyin Star.

With the help of Chang Xi, Xihe saw what happened in the Netherworld, and saw the ten three-legged golden crows turn into three-legged dark crows, turning into the Dark Sun hanging high in the sky of the Netherworld, moving into the ten Heavenly Stems, and assisting the operation of the Heavenly Stems.

From now on, as long as the ten three-legged dark crows perform their duties and do not make mistakes, there will be no more danger, and they can also continuously obtain merits, and their future practice will become unimpeded.

Seeing this scene, Xihe knew that Huanglong did not lie to her. Not only did he restore her nine children to consciousness, but he also paved the way for the ten three-legged dark crows in the future.

"I am relieved to see that you are all right..."

Xihe cried with joy, and tears of happiness flowed from the corners of her eyes. As for meeting her ten children, she never dared to think about it.

Although her residual soul was saved by Chang Xi and she can now move freely with her soul body, she is still a sinner, carrying a huge karma, and is a thorn in the flesh of the Heavenly Saint.

If she stays honestly on Taiyin Star, the Heavenly Saint will not say anything. If she enters the netherworld and meets her children, I am afraid they will come to her door in person to ask for punishment.

At this moment, Xihe suddenly found that Huang Long had raised his head and looked towards the Moon without any change in his expression. He said calmly:

"The three dark crows are still young and cannot take on the task of patrolling the sky. Are you willing to enter my Netherworld, permanently suppress the ten heavenly stems, and assist the three-legged dark crows in patrolling the sky?"

Xihe was slightly stunned, and then overjoyed, but before she could say anything, Yuqing Saint appeared outside the Moon with Pangu Banner in his hand.

"Huanglong, you have crossed the line!"

"Oh? Why did I cross the line? Whose line did I cross?"

Huanglong's expression still did not change much, but his eyes narrowed slightly, emitting a dangerous light, and the flow of time outside the Moon became extremely chaotic.

Yuqing Saint's face changed, but he did not retreat at all, and it was even more impossible for him to retreat.

Xihe had the power to control the sun in the demon clan heaven. Now that the Xuanmen heaven has not been established, this power is still in Xihe's hands.

If Xihe is allowed to enter the netherworld, she can completely use the power of the Sun to let the Sun Star fall under the control of the earth.

Once Huang Long gets the Sun Star, with the ability he has shown now, the Great Dao of Time in the prehistoric world will fall into his control, which will cause huge losses to the Heavenly Dao. Yuqing must not let this happen.

Huang Long naturally understands what Yuqing is thinking, and he has no intention of tearing his face with the Heavenly Dao, at least for now.

His goal this time is to establish the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, make the netherworld orderly in time, master a part of the Great Dao of Time in the prehistoric world, leave an opportunity for the resurrection of Donghuang Taiyi, and give Di Jun a glimmer of life.

Now that these goals have been achieved, whether to control the Sun Star is not a big deal for him.

"My goal is not the Sun Star, are you satisfied with this, fellow Daoist?"

"I hope fellow Daoist will keep his word!"

Yuqing snorted coldly and disappeared outside the Taiyin Star. As long as Huang Long does not reach out to the Sun Star, he can pretend that he did not see Xihe entering the netherworld.
