Netherworld Blood Sea
Where do living beings go after they die?
Houtu was startled, and a glimmer of inspiration flashed in her mind.
She thought of the wandering souls roaming the Primordial World, of the scattered glowing lights that vanished between heaven and earth, and of that smile.
Houtu's eyes flickered, and that spark of inspiration grew larger and larger in her mind.
"After death, living beings become ghosts."
"The ghosts should go to the Reincarnation!"
That spark of inspiration exploded, Houtu's eyes burst forth with an extremely bright light.
She has found the Great Dao that was rightfully hers!
Fuxi nodded and praised him.
"It's good, it's good."
Houtu was now radiating boundless brilliance, and she looked at Fuxi and said.
"Brother, I have made up my mind about what I should do. Please help me!"
This cycle of Reincarnation shouldn't take place on this Primordial World; it needs to be placed somewhere more suitable.
Fuxi then led Houtu to the Netherworld Blood Sea, the deepest part of the Primordial World!
To enter this Netherworld Blood Sea, one must first pass through the Yellow Springs of Hell.
After passing through that invisible and intangible boundary, Fuxi and Houtu arrived at the edge of the Yellow Springs of Hell.
The mighty Yellow Springs waters flow freely here, and any living being from the outside world that comes into contact with even a tiny bit of it will have their cultivation completely eroded.
If one becomes too tainted, even the physical body cannot be preserved.
Therefore, the countless beings of the Primordial World had absolutely no interest in this Yellow Springs of Hell.
Upon arriving here, Houtu felt her heart pounding even faster.
The two did not linger and headed directly towards the deep Netherworld Blood Sea.
This Netherworld Blood Sea is a gathering place for the most filthy things in the world. It can be said to be an existence completely opposite to the outside environment. No matter how high one's cultivation level is, one will feel a sense of disgust from the bottom of one's body when one comes here.
There is also a theory about this Netherworld Blood Sea.
Legend has it that after the Great God Pangu created the world and transformed into the Primordial World, a mass of foul blood fell from his body and became this Netherworld Blood Sea.
Within that filthy blood, a placenta was being nurtured, and that was none other than the Ancestor Minghe.
This Ancestor Minghe is no ordinary person either; he wields the Yuantu and Abi Bi swords, and is accompanied by the Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus.
The great Divine Ability he cultivated included 480 million Blood God Children, who were said to have an ever-flowing Blood Sea and an ever-dying Minghe.
He created the Asura Race and ruled the Asura Sect. Under his command were the four great Demon Kings: Tian Boxun, Great Brahma, Kasyapa, Paranirmita-vaśavartin Heaven Shiva; the Four Great Demon Generals: Indra, Vishnu, Rudra, and the Ghost Mother; as well as the Heavenly Consort Uma and seventy-two Asura princesses.
Although the Ancestor Minghe became a joke in this Primordial World because of his imitation of Nuwa Creates Humans and imitation of Sages establishing religions.
However, the strength of the Ancestor Minghe himself should not be underestimated!
Upon arriving at the Netherworld Blood Sea, Houtu's inner feelings grew even stronger.
Fuxi did not restrain his aura, all in order to provoke the master of this place to come out.
Fuxi and Houtu were not kept waiting for long.
Soon, a figure darted out from the Blood Sea.
This person was dressed in a Daoist robe, with two deadly treasures floating behind him, and rode on Red Lotus karmic fire.
It was the Netherworld Blood Sea Ancestor Minghe Blood Sea.
Upon seeing Fuxi, he quickly bowed and said...
"Greetings, Senior Fuxi."
Greetings, Fellow Houtu.
The Ancestor Minghe's attitude was quite polite.
Houtu was momentarily dazed, almost thinking that this Netherworld Blood Sea shouldn't be the Netherworld Blood Sea, but rather Buzhou Mountain.
The Ancestor Minghe's polite attitude is certainly understandable.
In the past, when Fuxi raised his hand, the Zhou Tian Stars Great Array, which the Demon Race was so proud of, was already shattered.
In just a few words, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun was defeated and retreated back to the Zixiao Palace.
These were all witnessed by the Ancestor Minghe!
He had personally experienced just how powerful that Sage truly was!
At this moment, Minghe felt an even more suffocating sense of oppression from Fuxi than from the Two Sages of the West!
Although he didn't know why Fuxi had brought the Ancestral Witch Houtu here, he knew in his heart that when it was time to follow one's heart, one should do so!
Seeing the Ancestor Minghe's polite attitude, Fuxi couldn't help but chuckle.
He shook his head slightly and then spoke.
"You don't need to be so nervous. Houtu and I have come here to borrow your Netherworld Blood Sea and give you a great opportunity."
If one wishes to establish Reincarnation, one must rely on this Netherworld Blood Sea!
The master of this Netherworld Blood Sea is the Ancestor Minghe. If he were to relinquish the Blood Sea, then the great Merit of establishing Reincarnation should be shared with him!
However, the Minghe was unaware of the truth.
After hearing Fuxi's words, he thought Fuxi was coming to steal his Netherworld Blood Sea.
So he pleaded earnestly with Fuxi.
"Senior Fuxi, this Netherworld Blood Sea is the foundation of my Dao attainment; you must not take it away!"
That Netherworld Blood Sea was closely related to him; how could the Ancestor Minghe stand idly by and watch Fuxi take it away?
However, the vast difference in strength served as a reminder to Minghe.
To lay a hand on someone is to die!
Therefore, he could only plead with Fuxi to spare this Netherworld Blood Sea.
Seeing the Ancestor Minghe's behavior, how could Fuxi not understand what this person had misunderstood?
He then continued speaking.
"You've misunderstood. We're merely borrowing your Blood Sea for a short time, and it truly is a great opportunity for you."
Upon hearing Fuxi's words, the Ancestor Minghe looked somewhat bewildered and asked uncertainly.
"Senior, do you really not want this Blood Sea mine?"
Fuxi nodded and said.
"If that's really the case, you should first move your Asura Clan out of this Blood Sea, then just stand aside and watch."
Standing aside?
Minghe had doubts, but given Fuxi's power, he summoned his four Demon Kings.
Tell them to take the Asura Clan away from the Blood Sea at once.
He stayed beside Fuxi, and together they looked at Houtu.
Houtu raised her head and looked up at the Netherworld Blood Sea.
No stars are visible, nor is the sun or moon!
Only the thick fog obscured the view.
With a single step, she appeared above the Netherworld Blood Sea.
"Heaven and earth were formed, yet they are flawed."
Houtu's voice was soft, yet it resounded throughout the entire Primordial World in that instant!
"Living beings become ghosts after death, but ghosts have nowhere to go!"
Above the sky, boundless auspicious clouds, carrying Merit, were already arriving.
Golden rays flashed past, heading towards the Netherworld Blood Sea.
Houtu's eyes were filled with deep compassion. At this moment, she resonated with heaven and earth, with the wandering souls, and with all things!
Countless divine thoughts surged within this Primordial World.
The immense Merit he accumulated astonished countless people.
Houtu smiled gently, thinking of the days she spent with her elder brother and sister under Buzhou Mountain, a hint of regret flashing in her eyes.
Then, his expression turned resolute.
Just like the answer she gave when Fuxi asked her.
She already knew all of this!
"I am Houtu, and today, moved by the imperfections of heaven and earth, I establish the Reincarnation to mend them!"
"The Six Paths of Reincarnation, manifest!"
