In the depths of the vast underworld, there are divine flames that surge into the sky, and there are also densely packed immortal formations, making it difficult for outsiders to see the scene inside.
At this moment, a black and crystal-clear treasure wheel was rising and falling in the sky, and its spirit appeared, giving gentle guidance to the two supreme beings in front of it.
After hearing Tongtian Mingbao's words, the eyes of Xihuang and Wu Chang opposite him flickered, and they immediately raised their eyes to look at Mingbao.
Immediately afterwards, Xihuang's brows couldn't help but frown slightly, and his ethereal and fairy-like voice sounded:
"Reincarnation is nothing but a false theory. We only strive for the glory of this life, and we will never place our hopes on this vague and uncertain future world!"
The Western Emperor's demeanor was majestic, and the power of the Supreme Emperor was so great that the earth and the underworld couldn't help but rustle in response.
His Taoist heart is resolute, and like many great emperors throughout the ages, he does not believe in the theory of the afterlife.
The impermanence beside Xihuang also had the same idea.
Facing the Western Emperor's awe-inspiring gaze, Tongtian Mingbao was naturally unafraid. Not only did he smile slightly, he shook his head, and then spoke again:
"The two fellow Taoists have really misunderstood. What I am referring to is naturally not the reincarnation of the soul as taught by Buddhism and the like, but the practical path!"
In response to this, Wu Chang was the first to react:
"Could it be that what fellow Taoist is referring to is the method of physical reincarnation pioneered by Ming Zun in the legend?"
"Of course." The god of Tongtian Mingbao smiled and nodded.
"absurd!"
Upon hearing this, the Western Emperor immediately retorted:
"Our supreme being, even if the soul dies, the physical body can still be immortal. After bathing in the essence of heaven and earth, and gestating for millions of years, he can indeed regenerate his spiritual wisdom, but -"
"Although they have the same physical body, the soul is new, completely different from before, and there will be no memory of the so-called 'previous life'."
"What's the point of such 'reincarnation'?"
As he said this, the Western Emperor couldn't help but shake his head.
This method has been circulating in the world for a long time, and there are many ancient sages who have tried it. After all, those who wake up are no longer the same people as before.
Therefore, fewer and fewer supreme beings choose to take the so-called "path of reincarnation" in the future, preferring to cut themselves off and hide in the restricted area.
After all, no one wants to make wedding clothes for others, and the Supreme Being is no exception.
Facing the Western Emperor's doubts, Tongtian Mingbao showed a rather helpless expression and said with sincere emotion:
"The world's people really have a deep misunderstanding of the way of reincarnation. However, after fellow Taoists observe Ming Zun's method, they may be able to change their minds."
Ming Bao's words had just fallen, and both Xihuang and Wu Chang couldn't help but feel moved.
You must know that part of the reason why they took the initiative to visit the underworld was to thank them for their gifts in the past.
However, there are also some factors that caused the Western Emperor to fall into a bottleneck and want to use the Taoism of the underworld to reflect his own future.
Now, after hearing Ming Bao's words, the other party obviously agreed to let them observe Ming Zun's method. The purpose of the two people's trip has been achieved.
"Mingzun is the founder of the underworld, so we are lucky to be able to observe his ways."
Regardless of whether reincarnation is true or not, there is no doubt about the power of Ming Zun.
In the eyes of many Emperors and Emperors, Ming Zun is on the same level as Emperor Zun and the Immortal Emperor, second only to the Immortal Emperor and the Yuan Emperor.
Since Ming Bao is willing to let the two of them study Ming Zun's supreme scriptures, Xi Huang and his wife will naturally show respect accordingly.
Seeing this, a smile finally appeared on Ming Bao's face, and he immediately looked at Xi Huang across from him with burning eyes:
"I believe that after you, the Western Emperor, gain some understanding of this Tao, you will definitely change your mind."
Ming Bao looked serious on the surface, but he couldn't help but whisper in his heart:
Anyway, the last one had already buried himself in the ancient star.
Obviously, Ming Bao is also full of confidence in this.
Thinking like this, Tongtian Mingbao turned his attention to the immortal golden body on the side again, with a half-smiling look on his face:
"The Western Emperor is the Supreme Supreme Dao. Unless he kills himself, it is difficult for him to proclaim himself. But Taoist friend Wuchang, you are different -"
"I heard that the lineage of the Immortal Golden Body once had disputes with several restricted areas in Beidou. I'm afraid it will be difficult for fellow Taoists to find a good place to go in Beidou. How about staying in the underworld?"
Wu Chang was not surprised by Ming Bao's invitation, but he shook his head firmly without thinking:
"Ming Bao's kind words, Wu Chang would like to thank you."
"It's just that I was lucky enough to get a magical medicine fruit. With this, I can still live another life."
"It is a great pity that I have not been able to reach the Ultimate Realm in this life. I will do my best to make up for the shortcomings in my second life."
"Even if it doesn't work -"
Having said this, Wu Chang smiled slightly, then turned his head and looked at Xihuang with the same expression, saying nothing.
"I also promised someone that I would grow old together with her."
For a moment, Tongtian Mingbao actually had the illusion of being "stuffed".
Although I am clearly in the underworld, I feel like I am an outsider.
After suppressing this strange feeling for the time being, Ming Bao shook his head and said helplessly:
"Both fellow Taoists, the road ahead is still open after all, so why are you so pessimistic?"
Immediately afterwards, Ming Bao's eyes showed a rather cunning look, and he sighed quietly:
"Today, it is indeed difficult for the immortal golden body to achieve enlightenment, but who can say clearly what will happen in the future?"
After hearing Tongtian Mingbao's words, there seemed to be some meaning, and a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Wu Chang's mind. His eyes were blazing, and he quickly asked:
"My fellow Taoist, could it be that you anticipate that the human world will undergo major changes?"
Impermanence thought of the previous legend. According to the legend, it was the Immortal Emperor who supported the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, thus causing the Great Dao of the Human Realm to relax its suppression of the Immortal Golden Body.
If a similar situation happens again in the future, it may be possible to break the curse!
After hearing the words of impermanence, Tongtian Mingbao looked mysterious:
"The secret must not be leaked. Please forgive me for the inconvenience of revealing it."
"However, if fellow Taoists are willing to seal themselves and leave it to future generations, and then take the elixir of immortality after enlightenment, that may be the best choice."
Good guy!
Tongtian Mingbao keeps saying that he will not reveal the secret of heaven, but his words and deeds are almost obvious.
Although Xihuang and Wu Chang still had doubts about this, they suppressed it for the time being and would only make a decision after understanding the method of Ming Zun.

After making up their mind, Xihuang and the Immortal Golden Body each refined a drop of their original blood essence and handed it over to the Tongtian Mingbao.
And the latter naturally fulfilled his promise, not only letting the two of them understand Mingzun's Taoism, but even also gave them their insights on it.
Ming Zun's method of reincarnation is indeed mysterious, and coupled with the experience of Emperor Hengyu and others, it will be twice the result with half the effort for future generations of supreme beings to understand it.
For a long time after that, the Western Emperor and his wife stayed in the underworld, discussing Taoism with Tongtian Mingbao from time to time, and the ancient master who occasionally woke up. Naturally, their understanding of the way of reincarnation became more and more profound.
In the end, the Immortal Golden Body accepted Tongtian Mingbao's suggestion, sealed himself as an immortal, and stayed in the underworld.
When the Western Emperor reached enlightenment, she immediately left the underworld, returned to Beidou, and founded the Yaochi Holy Land.
Not long after, she left the Xihuang Tower behind and drifted away alone.
Under the guidance of the Tongtian Mingbao, the Western Emperor also found the ancient star and buried himself in West Kunlun, a place that captures the heaven and earth.
