Chapter 2166: Mount Tai Judgment (1)
Editor: Henyee Translations
Xu Tui smiled sincerely when he saw that the Ghost Commander’s true spirit had stayed where it was under the cover of the divine light and was not guided away by the power of the rules of the Samsara Small Universe.
Indeed, only rules could resist the rules. Or rather, only the World Will of the Samsara Small Universe could resist it.
It was a little confusing. In essence, the mental body of the Samsara Small Universe was guided to the Reincarnation Division after it died. This was led by the power of the rules of the Samsara Small Universe.
Then who was the one who set the rules of the Samsara Small Universe? It could only be the Will of the owner of the Samsara Small Universe. This was a common characteristic of all small universes. It was matched by the will of his creator. For example, the small universe that the Holy Ancestor of the Spiritual Race had created was completely under his control.
Even though Houtu, the creator of the Samsara Mini Universe, had already turned her body into the Six Paths of Reincarnation and had been destroyed, her will was still there. Her will still dominated the entire Samsara Small Universe. Those who followed her will would live, and those who went against her will would die. This was something that no one could change in thousands of years.
Dai Sect, who had originally managed the Samsara Small Universe, was also pushed by the six rulers of the Heavenly Court to obtain the permission of the Samsara Small Universe’s will. Only then could he enter the Samsara Small Universe and manage it.
Moreover, it was very likely that he had obtained a portion of the Will of the Samsara Small Universe. Only then could the manager of the Dai Sect, Prefecture Lord Taishan, set the rules in the Samsara Small Universe.
Similarly, the Netherworld that replaced Dai Sect had also obtained the recognition of the Will of the Samsara Small Universe. It was very likely that it had obtained a portion of the Will of the Samsara Small Universe. Only then could it rebuild the underworld and expel Lord Taishan.
However, be it Lord Taishan or Lord Ksitigarbha, who had created the Netherworld, their ability to draw the rules in the Netherworld came from the Will of the Samsara Small Universe.
King against king! No one could do anything to the other. At the very least, Ksitigarbha could not erase the seal rights of Prefecture Lord Taishan from the Samsara Small Universe, even if it was just a little. Similarly, Lord Taishan could not erase any of Ksitigarbha’s authority from the Samsara Small Universe. This was because what they had was given to them by the Samsara Small Universe itself.
The rule that the remaining true spirits would be guided to the Reincarnation Division after the mental body was defeated was not born in the Samsara Small Universe. It only existed after the construction of the Netherworld.
In other words, this guiding rule was written by Ksitigarbha using the Will of the Samsara Small Universe that he controlled.
According to the principle of reciprocity, Xu Tui, the Prefecture Lord of Mount Tai, could not erase or change this guiding rule. This was because it was given to him by the Will of the Samsara Small Universe.
However, he could resist it!
This was the reason why the true spirit was still left behind after the Ghost Commander’s mental body was defeated. It was because the divine light of the Taishan Prefecture Lord’s seal had enveloped it.
Rules against rules.
The Ghost Commander’s true spirit that was enveloped by the divine light of the Taishan Prefecture Lord’s Seal was already stunned. He was really confused. He should have been brought back to the Reincarnation Division and revived without any damage. But why did he stay where he was? This was unlike the Netherworld.
In the next moment, Xu Tui began another attempt. He used the Taishan Prefecture Lord’s Seal to take away the position of the Ghost Commander in front of him.
It was actually just a simple sentence. Xu Tui activated his divine might through the seal of the Prefecture Lord of Mount Tai. Then, he said, “In the name of the Prefecture Lord of Mount Tai, I will seize your position as the Ghost Commander.”
In an instant, a pitch-black seal appeared above the ghost commander’s head. Then, it flew toward Xu Tui. The true spirit of the Ghost Commander instantly felt his soul dissipate. If he could breathe, he would be suffocating from fear.
In the Netherworld, because the mental body could change at will, it had always recognized the identity token and not the person. His Ghost Commander Seal had been snatched away by the terrifying guy in front of him. Even if his true spirit was taken away, when his true spirit appeared in the Reincarnation Division, not to mention the treatment of an ordinary soldier, he would be marked by a wandering evil ghost.
After being marked with the mark of a wandering evil ghost, he would be thrown into the Wandering Souls Pass, where the energy of reincarnation was extremely thin, and then wait to be judged.
Perhaps a year or ten years later, after being judged by a certain judge for what he had done in his previous life, he would be recruited again on account of his cultivation. But he would start from the lowest level.
He had to start over.
The possibility of meeting his superior, the Red Tiger Ghost King, was infinitely close to zero. At the thought of this, the Ghost Commander’s true spirit trembled. The person in front of him was a true demon. He was a true evil ghost. In his opinion, the tens of millions of evil ghosts in the 18 levels of hell were not as despicable as the guy in front of him.
He directly destroyed his ghost life! He had fought for nearly a thousand years to obtain the position of Ghost Commander, but it was destroyed by this guy in front of him!
“I see!” Xu Tui, who had just put the Ghost Commander Seal into his pocket, suddenly understood when he saw the true spirit of the Ghost Commander. Ever since he stopped the Ghost Commander’s true spirit, he had been using his mind reading. Even if the Ghost Commander had not lost his cultivation, he would not be able to defend against Xu Tui’s mind reading, much less now, when his cultivation was lost.
Xu Tui knew what he was thinking.
Ghost life! He wanted to destroy the life of the ghost commander in front of him!
Unfortunately, the time was not right. Otherwise, Xu Tui would have created a few more examples like this and let their true spirits go back. He would have used them to create panic in the army of the underworld.
