Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill - Chapter 1038 - 63: The Ten Great Yin Marshals (Yue)
Chapter 1038: Chapter 63: The Ten Great Yin Marshals (Yue)
“Hao, you are the Yin Ghost Envoy and Day Patrol. We hope you can oversee for a hundred days and let the wicked ghosts act accordingly.”
“Ming, you are the Yin Ghost Envoy and Night Patrol. We hope you can coordinate with Day Patrol, monitor the night, and maintain peace in the area.”
“Yes!”
Hao and Ming nodded in agreement, feeling excited.
After the Yin Ghost Envoys, only the Demon Netherworld Envoys remained.
The Beast serves as the Demon Netherworld Envoy with a Leopard Tail, capturing the souls of beasts.
Xiao serves as the Demon Netherworld Envoy with a Bird Beak, capturing the souls of birds.
Heng Hai serves as the Demon Netherworld Envoy with Fish Gills, capturing the souls of swimming fish.
Flying Ant serves as the Demon Netherworld Envoy with a Wasp, capturing the souls of crawling creatures.
The deceased are also separately known as the “Four Great Yin Commanders” since all four are Demon Netherworld Envoys, with very similar functions.
Thus, the Ten Great Yin Marshals, “Ghost King, Day Patrol Deity, Night Patrol Deity, Black and White Impermanence, Ox Head, Horse Face, Leopard Tail, Bird Beak, Fish Gills, Wasp” are all present.
Coupled with the Four Great Judges, the foundational structure of the Underworld to ensure its operation is complete.
“Four Great Judges, Ten Great Yin Marshals, where are you!”
“Here!” fourteen star beasts responded in unison.
“You all are the cornerstone of the Underworld; we hope you will fulfill your duties and ensure its operation.”
“Yes!”
Then Wang Sheng looked at the Star Beast Ancestor.
“Xing Hou!”
“Xing Hou is here!” The Star Beast Ancestor immediately stepped forward.
He knew it was his turn.
He was more nervous than the fourteen Saint Emperor-level star beasts, constantly guessing his position in his heart.
With the Four Great Judges and the Ten Great Yin Marshals already appointed, his position would not be low, but it was hard to speculate.
’Other positions of the four main divinities of the Underworld or the Ten Halls Yama, or even higher?’
Soon, Wang Sheng gave him the answer.
“We temporarily assign you the position of Ksitigarbha, responsible for suppressing hell, saving lost souls, ensuring the operation of hell.”
Normally referred to as the Womb of the Earth Bodhisattva, Wang Sheng did not want the religious system to permeate hell, but the position of Ksitigarbha in the Underworld system was extremely important, so he removed the term Bodhisattva, referring to it simply as Ksitigarbha.
No change in role, esteemed status.
At this moment,
the Star Beast Ancestor was momentarily stunned!
He had anticipated many possibilities.
But never thought it would be Ksitigarbha.
After all, this was the highest rank under Emperor Fengdu.
His status was extremely prestigious.
To occupy this position, even he could say his future was boundless.
“Xing Hou, accept your duty!” Wang Sheng, unaware of the Star Beast Ancestor’s thoughts, spoke again.
The Star Beast Ancestor instantly reacted and said, “Xing Hou, accept your duty!”
As he finished speaking, Xing Hou felt a sense of finality, with the opportunity seemingly falling into his hands.
Unperturbed by the excited Star Beast Ancestor,
Wang Sheng shifted his gaze to the remaining star beasts.
“The remaining star beasts can take on names like Ghost King and Impermanence, serving under the Ten Great Yin Marshals as the foundational ghost messengers of the Underworld.”
The Ten Great Yin Marshals are the most powerful among ghost messengers such as Impermanence.
In reality, the task of capturing souls and suppressing evil spirits rarely falls to them.
That is typically the duty of the basic ghost messengers.
Only when there is troublesome or evil spirits do the Ten Great Yin Marshals step in; they mainly oversee operations.
For instance, Shuang Yan is essentially the head of Impermanence.
Er Quan, on the other hand, is the leader of Ghost Kings, overseeing countless Ghost Kings.
Of course, these appointments did not require his involvement; the Ten Great Yin Marshals could make their assignments.
The remaining star beasts, hearing their assignments, were also delighted to respond.
Though not obtaining an official position, obtaining the title of ghost messenger was indeed fortunate.
With the completion of appointments, Wang Sheng concluded the initial appointments for the Underworld’s positions he had envisioned.
“All appointments are complete, may everyone fulfill your duties in your respective roles.”
“Yes, True Saint!”
As the words ended,
both Wang Sheng and the other star beasts could sense a significantly discernible will descending.
The will enveloped everyone.
“Starry Sky Rules!”
The Starry Sky Rules function only according to the rules; otherwise, they would not appear at all.
This occurrence without punishment signified Wang Sheng’s right actions.
The Starry Sky Rules came quickly and left quickly.
But after departing, Wang Sheng clearly felt his path more lucid, gaining more profound insights into the Eternal Way.
What would have taken one or two hundred years to break through Returning Void and Unity,
could now potentially be achieved within a hundred years.
Evidently, this was a benefit and reward from the stars.
The star beasts experienced the same; many low-level star beasts even instantly advanced a stage.
“Just having obtained the positions brings such benefits, what if the Underworld is fully established?”
The star beasts were internally shocked.
Though they anticipated benefits, they did not expect them to be so substantial.
This was only the beginning!
Wang Sheng timely stated, “You should have already sensed the benefits; the stars have acknowledged the existence of Hell, you should understand what this represents; I’ll say no more, the Underworld will start operating soon, follow up quickly no matter if you are Ksitigarbha or the Four Great Judges, understand your duties and await formal appointments.”
“Yes!”
“The Ten Great Yin Marshals, as heads of ghost messengers, quickly choose your subordinates and await my command.”
“Four Great Judges, prepare yourselves; in at most a month, your duties will begin.”
“Ksitigarbha temporarily supervise the Judge Hall.”
“Abide by the True Saint Order!”
No star beast refused.
All nodded earnestly.
They knew well that although they had appointments and enjoyed some of the benefits,
without good performance, they could be removed at any time.
Though special, they were not entirely irreplaceable.
Seeing this, Wang Sheng distributed the Underworld position list and the responsibilities of judges and ghost messengers.
“Except for the Four Great Judges, other star beasts may temporarily return but must not reveal the existence of Hell, and be ready for conscription at any moment.”
Of course, mere words weren’t enough; he also set restrictions for the star beasts.
No star beasts resisted, understanding the importance of the issue.
Subsequently, Wang Sheng granted permissions to the star beasts, then departed directly.
With the basic structure of the Underworld established, it naturally couldn’t remain stagnant and needed to be tested through practice.
Moreover, he had a definite target now.
Thus, after leaving Hell, he directly proceeded to the Kongxiang Star Domain.
At this point, the Kongxiang Star Domain was already devoid of many living beings, and those who could escape had long gone.
The reason was due to a resentment aura that only top-notch Saint Emperors could handle.
Also a weapon that the Devouring Sect used to restrain the Conquest Sect.
In fact, this aura of resentment ultimately played a significant role.
Of course, it was eventually broken by Wang Sheng using his true form and avatar.
The resentment aura in the Kongxiang Star Domain was sealed by his true form and had not been dealt with.
Without top-tier Saint Emperors, the Central Star there dared not request it and, after sealing, no chaos occurred, thus no action was taken.
Wang Sheng had also been waiting for this moment.
“This resentment aura entangles many souls, nearly the entirety of a star domain, almost uncountable. However, it is perfect for testing the Underworld’s capacity to handle pressure…”
The universe is vast, with countless beings dying every instant, producing an enormous number of souls.
All these souls require processing by the Underworld.
In the grand scheme of the universe, a star domain’s worth of souls is negligible.
While the newly established Underworld still struggles to handle souls across the universe, a single star domain is manageable.
A challenge but not one that could break a group of inexperienced star beasts.
The handling process also allows for experience accumulation.
“Let’s handle these souls first, purify some with my Soul Cleansing Sea, then leave some unpurified for the Underworld to attempt handling…”
Wang Sheng couldn’t oversee the Underworld’s operation all the time.
Thus, this time, he wanted to create as many scenarios as possible.
While purifying, Wang Sheng kept thinking.
Continuously producing new ideas.
“Originally focusing on the Four Great Judges and Ksitigarbha, I might as well include the ghost messengers now…”
“Hopefully, they won’t disappoint me.”
Meanwhile, after leaving Hell, the star beasts fully comprehended their positions to ensure they didn’t let the Lifeless True Saint down…
(At the end of the month, asking for monthly votes!!!)
