Exploring the Netherworld Blood Sea for Pangu's Secrets

Yuanshi Tianzun gazed at Zhen Yuanzi, a flicker of envy passing through his eyes.

As one transformed from Pangu's orthodox Primordial Spirit, he was now at the bottom among the Three Pure Ones. How could he possibly be content with that?

Taishang Laojun had founded the Humanity Sect, becoming the teacher of both the Mythic Humans and the Primordial Humans.

After attaining sainthood, he had long surpassed the Heavenly Dao Sages and become the first to reach the Ninth Heaven of Sainthood!

During the planar inheritance, Taishang Laojun fused with the origins of tens of millions of Middle Thousand Worlds. His cultivation advanced once more, breaking through to the First Heaven of the Boundless Primordial Realm!

Tongtian went a step further, creating an entirely new Sword Dao. Transcending the laws of heaven and earth, he attained the Third Heaven of the Boundless Primordial Realm!

Now, Zhen Yuanzi had sorted out the Primordial World's earth veins and attained the Dao as a Primordial Sage in one stroke, transcending the laws of heaven and earth.

Nuwa's cultivation, too, stood above the laws of heaven and earth.

How could Yuanshi remain unmoved in comparison?

The proud Yuanshi secretly made up his mind. Should Demon Gods appear in the chaos once more, he would surely forge an entirely new Great Dao!

Only by making immense contributions to the Primordial World and accumulating the points bestowed by Chen Xuan could one rapidly raise one's cultivation.

Chen Xuan looked at Zhen Yuanzi and spoke with a smile. "Now that Zhen Yuanzi has attained the Dao, he shall serve as the fourth Director of Instruction of Divine Court Academy, as well as the dean of the Rogue Cultivator Academy."

"I shall obey the Dao Venerable's decree!"

Zhen Yuanzi responded respectfully.

Chen Xuan nodded with a smile, then turned to Houtu. "Let's go."

In an instant, Chen Xuan and Houtu vanished without a trace.

After Chen Xuan departed, Hongjun swept his gaze over the Children of Fortune and the deans of the various academies. "Get moving. Gather points with all your might!"

The Children of Fortune were filled with fervor.

Xiao Yan and the other Children of Fortune from different planes all came from Blue Star and were no strangers to the Primordial World.

Before coming to the Primordial World, they had assumed that the Dao Venerable had to be Hongjun. After all, in Primordial World novels, Hongjun stood at the very peak of heaven and earth.

But once they saw Mythical Nuwa, they understood.

The Dao Venerable was actually Mythical Nuwa!

This answer was not surprising in the slightest.

In the hearts of Blue Star's people, Mythical Nuwa had always been the supreme existence of the Primordial World.

The Mythic World far surpassed the Primordial World plane!

Having witnessed Chen Xuan embody Mythical Nuwa, they did not even dare entertain thoughts such as whether she was a transmigrator!

Netherworld Blood Sea.

Chen Xuan arrived here with Houtu.

"Just as I expected."

Chen Xuan stared at the tranquil sea of blood, his gaze profound.

Old Ancestor Minghe's aura had completely vanished from the sea of blood.

It was not concealed—it had utterly dissipated!

At this moment, Chen Xuan controlled the origin of the Primordial World. He himself was the embodiment of its laws.

The only one capable of making Old Ancestor Minghe vanish completely was Pangu!

Houtu looked at Chen Xuan, her cheeks faintly flushed as she asked softly, "May I call you Sister?"

"Of course."

Chen Xuan smiled warmly.

Houtu pursed her lips in a smile. "Sister, regarding your younger brother, Chen Xuan..."

Before she could finish, Chen Xuan had already understood.

Nuwa had entered into a Heavenly Marriage with him, and Houtu had learned of Chen Xuan's existence from Nuwa.

With Mythical Nuwa being so dazzling, how could her younger brother possibly be inferior?

At least, that was what all the foremost beings of the Primordial World believed.

Houtu was no exception.

She gritted her teeth, gathered her courage, and said, "Sister, if I successfully attain the Dao and condense the Earthly Dao Will, I wish to enter into an Earthly Marriage with your younger brother, Chen Xuan!"

"Those words are precisely what I wished to hear, Sister!"

Chen Xuan's smile remained unchanged, his face unflushed and his heart unruffled.

Buzz!

Chen Xuan's divine sense surged out, enveloping the depths of the Netherworld Blood Sea.

He saw the result he had long awaited.

Deep within the sea of blood, a faint, indistinct aura was none other than Pangu's presence!

This was precisely why Chen Xuan had brought Houtu here.

According to the laws of heaven and earth laid down by Pangu, the Six Paths of Reincarnation were destined to be condensed by Houtu, and she had to attain the Dao in the Netherworld Blood Sea.

But therein lay the problem.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches had been born from Pangu's heart-blood essence. In Chen Xuan's eyes, they were Pangu's true legitimate descendants!

They revered Pangu above all else!

What kind of existence was Pangu? When he opened the Primordial World, he had already stood half a step into the Great Dao. The Heavenly Dao Will itself had been created by him.

How could he have failed to foresee the Six Paths of Reincarnation?

Since he had foreseen it, why did he make Houtu endure endless loneliness?

Establishing the Six Paths of Reincarnation would make her a saint, yet bind her there for life, forcing her to endure boundless solitude and guilt!

When Houtu established reincarnation during the Witches' and Demons' decisive battle, how could she simply abandon her eleven ancestral witch siblings?

Absolutely not!

Chen Xuan had already seen through the truth.

Pangu's aura was calling Houtu to the Netherworld Blood Sea!

Establish the Six Paths, forge reincarnation, build the Underworld, condense the netherworld!

Everything had been part of Pangu's design!

The so-called schemes of the Heavenly Dao were merely rules Pangu had set down with a casual wave of his hand.

The Primordial World had been opened by Pangu—how could he possibly have left no contingencies behind?

Hongjun was proof enough!

Had Chen Xuan not borne Mythical Nuwa, Hongjun would have been the highest ceiling of the Primordial World.

Even Ancestor Yang Mei would have been insignificant before him!

Chen Xuan surmised that during the early days of the Primordial World, Yang Mei had been able to suppress Hongjun only because Hongjun had yet to merge with the Dao, and the Heavenly Dao Origin had not yet been perfected.

Once the Heavenly Dao Origin was complete, Yang Mei would not even be able to remain in the Primordial World for long, having to face head-on the dual crushing pressure of the Heavenly Dao and Pangu Will!

The rules of the Heavenly Dao created by Pangu were powerful to such a terrifying extent!

Even after merging with the Dao, Hongjun could not rise above the laws of the universe. He could only transcend the laws of the Primordial World.

Yet the Twelve Ancestral Witches did not respect the Heavenly Dao at all!

Houtu had gone to the Blood Sea at the crucial moment before the Witches' and Demons' decisive battle only because Pangu Will had summoned her.

Only Pangu could make her cast everything aside and go attain the Dao!

It was precisely because of this that Chen Xuan began to harbor doubts about Pangu.

How could he bear to make Houtu suffer such agony?

Was it all merely to fulfill his own Dao?
