We Just Need to Paddle on the Side

Buzhou Mountain.

Pangu Hall.

A streak of light descended, revealing Houtu's figure, who stepped into the hall.

Inside the hall, all Twelve Ancestral Witches Elder Brother and sisters were present, without exception.

Even Pingxin, who usually secluded himself Depths of Pangu Hall and almost never showed his Pingxin, stood quietly to the side at this moment.

A strange feeling arose in Houtu's heart.

"Elder Brother, Sister Xuan Ming, and Pingxin Fellow Daoist, what are you all doing here?"

Zhu Rong laughed loudly and came forward to greet him.

"Sister Houtu, you're finally back!"

"Of course we're waiting for you!"

"Wait for me?"

Houtu was even more puzzled; her clear eyes were filled with doubt.

"What are you waiting for me for?"

Gong Gong replied in a gruff voice.

"Of course, I'm waiting for you to return so I can help you transcend the Reincarnation!"

"How... how did you know I was going to undergo Reincarnation?"

This idea only just began to sprout in her mind after she traveled through the prehistoric Primordial Wilderness and witnessed the tragic scene of countless souls having nowhere to go.

How could my Elder Brother know so much?

The Ancestral Wu exchanged smiles and all looked at Zhou Ming, who was seated high above them.

Xuan Ming stepped forward, took her hand, and said softly.

"It was my Elder Brother. Elder Brother told us everything long ago."

Houtu's gaze immediately turned to Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming looked at her and nodded.

Then, the Ancestral Wu, one after another, told Houtu the whole story.

From the sinister schemes of Heavenly Dao and Hongjun to how Zhou Ming saw through everything.

Then came the complete plan: replacing her with Pingxin to undergo Reincarnation, and finally luring Hongjun to the battlefield to severely damage him.

Houtu was deeply moved and could not calm down for a long time.

It turns out that the grand sense of mission in my heart, and the impulse to establish Reincarnation, were actually the schemes of the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun.

What they wanted was for them to sacrifice their status as Ancestral Wu, thus depriving the Wu Clan of their greatest trump card.

"So... my Reincarnation into reincarnation was a scheme by Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao."

A look of lingering fear and barely contained anger appeared on Houtu's face.

If it weren't for my Elder Brother's prior instructions, and if I hadn't remembered Elder Brother words at the last moment and forcibly suppressed my impulse...

The consequences would be unimaginable!

Zhou Ming stepped forward and gently patted her shoulder.

"Although it's a calculated move, it's also an incredible opportunity for you."

"The Lord of the Earthly Dao, this position should rightfully belong to my Wu Clan."

Houtu raised her head and looked at Zhou Ming, her eyes filled with gratitude.

"Thank you for planning this for me, Elder Brother."

"If it weren't for my Elder Brother, I'm afraid I would have made a terrible mistake."

Zhou Ming shook his head.

There's no need for such formalities between us, brother and sister.

"You're my sister, it's only right that I help you plan things out."

Houtu felt a warmth in her heart. Then, she turned to Pingxin, who was standing quietly to the side, and a look of guilt appeared on her face.

"This matter... will require you to trouble yourself, fellow Daoist."

"I want you, fellow Daoist, to take my place and transcend the Reincarnation reincarnation."

With Pingxin and peaceful demeanor and a faint smile on her face, she shook her head slightly at Houtu.

"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me."

"I was originally transformed from Pure World White Lotus, and I was born with the ability to purify."

"Having inherited your Essence Blood Primordial Spirit, and being reborn into the Reincarnation of reincarnation, is perfectly in accordance with the Dao, so there's no question of feeling wronged."

"Moreover, it would be my honor to be able to complete a link in the Primordial World."

Houtu was grateful for her kindness and said no more.

She took a deep breath and turned to look at Zhou Ming.

"Elder Brother, now that everything is ready, let's go to the Sea of Blood and begin the Reincarnation!"

"Good!"

Zhou Ming nodded.

He looked at Pingxin and said gently.

"Pingxin Sister, you should Dao Origin Divine Pearl first, and then come out when you reach the Sea of Blood."

Pingxin nodded, and with a flash, he transformed into a white light and entered the Dao Origin Divine Pearl in Zhou Ming's hand.

Zhou Ming surveyed the assembled Ancestral Wu and waved his hand.

"Let's go, let's set off!"

Thirteen Dao Body soared into the sky, transforming into streaks of light, and sped towards the Netherworld Sea of Blood.

On the way to the Sea of Sea of Blood, Zhou Ming had a thought, and a Divine Sense crossed endless space and entered the Five Village Temple on Mount Longevity.

Inside the Five Village Temple.

As Zhen Yuanzi was meditating with his eyes closed, Zhou Ming's voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

"Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, hurry to the Sea of Blood, for a great opportunity awaits."

Zhen Yuanzi suddenly opened his eyes.

A message from Fellow Daoist Zhou Ming?

A great opportunity?

Although he didn't know what the great opportunity Zhou Ming was talking about was, he didn't hesitate at all because of his absolute trust in Zhou Ming.

The next moment, he moved and instantly disappeared from Five Village Temple, rushing towards the Sea of Blood.

at the same time.

Depths of Chaos the Purple Cloud Palace.

In Hongjun's indifferent eyes, the scene of Zhou Ming and the others heading towards the Sea of Sea of Blood was reflected.

The next moment, Hongjun's voice rang in the ears of the Six Sages simultaneously.

"The time has come! Hurry to the Sea of Blood and stop Zhou Ming!"

The six beings— Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin, Zhunti —opened their eyes simultaneously.

They exchanged a glance, stood up in unison, and bowed in response.

"Yes, teacher."

As soon as they finished speaking, the six of them rushed out of the Purple Cloud Palace and headed towards the Sea of Blood.

Although the Six Sages traveled together, their thoughts differed.

Zhunti's face turned bitter, and he secretly sent Jieyin message to Jieyin.

"Senior brother! What should we do now?"

"To try and stop Zhou Ming is tantamount to courting death!"

"If it's really because of us that Houtu successfully Reincarnation, what will we do to stop Zhou Ming from taking revenge afterwards?!"

Although the Jieyin's face still wore that miserable expression, he had already made a plan in his heart.

"Junior brother, don't panic."

"You forgot, we're not the main force this time."

"The Dao Ancestor has the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa in charge of the formation; the two of us are merely assisting them from the sidelines."

Zhunti's eyes lit up, as if he had grasped something.

"What does Senior Brother mean?"

"We'll decide based on the situation then," the Jieyin, his voice laced with shrewdness.

"If Zhou Ming is really trapped by the four of them using the Immortal Execution Sword Formation, then we'll just put on a show."

"Just stay on the sidelines and let the Three Pure Ones Nuwa fight Zhou Ming."

"We don't need to be the first to stick our necks out."

"But what if... even the Immortal Execution Sword Formation can't trap Zhou Ming..."

At this point, the Jieyin let out a cold laugh.

"Then let's end all this and stay as far apart as possible!"

"Senior brother's insight is brilliant!" Zhunti immediately beamed with joy.

But he was still somewhat worried.

"But if we run away, what will happen to Dao Ancestor...?"

"Are you stupid?!"

"I'll guide you," Jieyin telepathically, sounding annoyed.

Even the combined might of the Six Sages, wielding the Immortal Execution Sword Formation, couldn't trap Zhou Ming.

"That proves that Zhou Ming's strength has already exceeded the Dao Ancestor's control!"

"I reckon even the Dao Ancestor himself wouldn't dare to easily set foot in the Primordial Wilderness back then!"

"Don't forget, the Twelve Divine Fiend Formation of the Wu Clan is no joke!"

"By then, let alone us, even the Three Pure Ones Nuwa will be able to escape faster than us!"

Zhunti instantly realized the truth and felt completely at ease.

"Senior brother is right!"

"If you can't trap Zhou Ming, no matter how many Saint come, it won't make a difference!"

"Even if we run away then, the Dao Ancestor will have no reason to blame us!"

The two reached an agreement instantly.

Anyway, it's better for me to die than for my fellow Daoists.

With the Three Pure Ones Nuwa protecting them, what do they have to fear!

All they need to do is protect themselves.

Having made up their minds, the two quickened their pace and chased after the sea of Sea of Blood.
