Li Xiaocun felt even more pained and shouted, "What kind of magical treasures does a Yin God use? Sect Master, if you scatter the wealth of the Li Family, how will our family establish itself in the future?"
Li Xiaozai, knowing he was stingy, said, "I will go with you to the Inner Mansion Treasure Vault, and after counting everything, I will personally send them to Puming Palace!"
Li Xiaocun had no choice but to go to the Inner Mansion Treasure Vault with him. At this mont, Li Qianyun hurriedly ca over and said, "An ancestor from Puming Palace has co to borrow the Immortal Artifact of our Li Family, the Patriarch's Daoist robe."
"No borrowing." Li Xiaozai said decisively.
Li Qianyun was a bit troubled and said, "That ancestor said that the Patriarch's Daoist robe was an Immortal Artifact left by the Li Family's ancestor from the Huaxia Divine Continent after achieving Harmonization and Ascension. It's needed this ti to deal with the rebel Chen Shi."
Li Xiaozai said, "Yin Gods are not allowed to interfere with mortal ancestral lines, this is the ancestral rule. No borrowing! The Patriarch's Daoist robe must be kept to protect the bloodline of our Li Family!"
Li Qianyun was unsure how to respond to the Li Family ancestor, and Li Xiaozai said, "Although I cannot lend the Immortal Artifact to him, I can lend him most of our family's magical treasures as compensation. Qianyun, co with to deliver the treasures."
Li Qianyun agreed.
They arrived at the Li Family Inner Mansion Treasure Vault, where Li Xiaozai instructed Li Xiaocun to take away five hundred magical treasures, then utilized his mana to lift and carry out the remaining over twelve hundred magical treasures, walking out of the vault to et the envoy from Puming Palace with Li Qianyun.
The envoy was also startled by the sheer number of magical treasures and exclaid, "Which one is the Patriarch's Daoist robe among these?"
"The Patriarch's Daoist robe is not among these."
Li Xiaozai said, "The Patriarch's Daoist robe was left by our ancestors to protect the mortal bloodline and cannot be handed over to the underworld. In compensation, these twelve hundred magical treasures will be at the disposal of Puming Palace."
The envoy was overjoyed, "This is more than enough."
Fourteen hundred years ago, the Yin Gods of the Li family revolted, killing the clone of Puming Palace's King Yan, Chu Jiang Wang, seized Puming Palace, and reorganized the underworld, establishing the Eighteen Layers of Hell. The power of the underworld Li Family grew increasingly strong, far surpassing the mortal Li Family, but the majority of the wealth still remained in the hands of the mortal Li Family, inviting much covetousness.
Through the generations, the sect masters of the Li Family were always wary of transferring the wealth to the underworld. This ti, Li Xiaozai sending over so many magical treasures at once would undoubtedly significantly boost the power of the underworld Li Family.
Li Xiaozai personally escorted these magical treasures to the underworld.
Puming Palace was located in the underworld corresponding to Quanzhou, starting from Ghost Gate to the first layer of hell, then descending through to the second layer, each layer going deeper down, arriving finally at the eighteenth layer of hell, where Puming Palace resided.
It was Li Qianyun's first ti entering these Eighteen Layers of Hell, and as she looked around, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.
She saw nurous imnsely powerful Ghost Gods enslaving countless ghosts, igniting ground fires to forge magical treasures; countless ghosts clung to the surface of the enormous mountain-like magical treasures, using fresh blood to draw talismanic seals, and innurable ghosts offered incense fire Qi while kowtowing to the treasures.
Li Qianyun also saw that they had sealed and wounded a colossal Huo Dou, extracting its Pure Yang blood.
In the hells, black smoke billowed, soaring into the clouds.
Suddenly, a Judge roared in fury, with boundless Divine Power consolidating into a Divine Demon Body, his figure becoming ever more towering and mighty, muscular and fierce.
He roared repeatedly, and the first layer of hell was slowly lifted by him, rging with his Void Great Realm.
Within hell, innurable Ghost Gods scurried about in panic, while inverted volcanoes spewed, lava cascading from the sky like waterfalls, collapsing furnaces rolling everywhere, crushing countless ghost monsters.
Once the Judge had lifted this layer of hell, everything gradually stabilized. The ghosts, bound by Yin ssengers, resud their various duties and continued their work.
This Tongue-pulling Hell was the hell once refined by Chu Jiang Wang. The Li Family found it relatively easy to seize the position of Chu Jiang Wang, and after occupying the nest, the Tongue-pulling Hell remained largely undamaged, and upon being raised, its power remained remarkably formidable.
However, the Li Family Judge felt the burden of the hell weighing heavily upon him, his legs trembling uncontrollably, almost kneeling. Fortunately, he mobilized the hell's power, thereby managing to bear its weight.
The hell slowly floated behind his head, as the Dao Power of hell surged into his body, strengthening his Golden Body exponentially.
"It's Ancestor Tinglan." Li Qianyun exclaid in shock.
Before her voice had faded, the space shook violently, and layers of hell drifted left and right, while the River of Oblivion connecting them seed to float aimlessly like water in the wind.
Nurous Ghost Gods, towering several thousand feet high, revealed their ferocious forms, either using supre brute strength to lift hell or supre Divine Power to raise hell, attempting to rge it with their Void Great Realm.
Another Tai Ao either intercepted a section of the River of Oblivion or collected the Naihe Bridge, while Yin ssengers wielded countless peculiar and ferocious ghost monster creatures, standing nacingly in the void.
Additionally, a mighty Assistant Governor raised his hands, causing countless Li Family ghost gods to involuntarily fly up, each landing within the void great realm behind his head, surrounded by myriad gods, venerating him alone as a Divine King.
The way ahead was blocked. Li Xiaozai and Li Qianyun halted in their steps and looked forward, seeing Li Tang, the King of this generation, rise before Puming Palace.
Li Xiaozai bowed from afar and spoke loudly, "Ancestor Li Tang, the Patriarch's Daoist Robe is an artifact left by our forebears to guard the mortal bloodline and cannot be lent to the underworld. I ask for your understanding. I have prepared over twelve hundred magical treasures for your use."
Puming Palace floated in the halo behind Li Tang, and though he was a Ghost God, he appeared extraordinarily holy, surrounded by the aura of incense fire Qi, exuding an immortal spirit. With his face discontented, he said, "The Twelve Families have long deliberated on punishing the thief Chen Shi, agreeing to give it all on this occasion to annihilate the rebellious enemy. By withholding the Immortal Artifact Patriarch's Daoist Robe, you place morality at what ground?"
